We are really disgusted! Shop at at home! What for? The sale ads come out once a week you check off the have to have’s and want to have’s and go shopping Only to find that at least most of the items are “out of stock” the second and more often the first day of your sales! Aggravation! It not only happens every once in week We’re a while but every to the point of doing all our shopping where we can get the supply and variety So— why shop at home?! These if they want our business stores should and I’m sure can plan ahead Order so that at least you have enough of your sale items to last the length of your sales and don’t depend on other stores in your chain to supply those items Please make adjustments! Delta Shoppers Radio personality says goodbye Considering Our Our valley has the great gift of good water water to drink water from deep in the earth filtered by layers of sand rock and soil or water from deep springs in our clean mountains Clean air sweeps into our valley hundreds of miles from the pollution of industry and large cities on the prevailing westerlies We have space We have a belt of great space all around us Everyone needs space One man who lived in one of the large coastal cities said “I went out to find solitude and get away from people and found 10000 people there trying to find solitude and get away from people” We are safe Anyone trying to commit a crime would think twice He has JOHN WATERBURY Dear John Letters Dear John I’m in the strangest type of limbo I can’t shake myself out of The problem is I feel doomed This is how I act in my life hopeless I can’t make decisions or take any major steps I feel it’s only a matter of time How can I shake this irrational fear that all is hopeless for me?

Cut those apron strings Old values taught from the cradle may fade away but they come during the teenyears back— along with grown-uchildren you’ll be proud to know Trust your teens to make it all the way There are no perfect children just as there are no perfect parents If your children are not meeting your expectations the expectations need changing not the children Thank you so much for all your support I thoroughly enjoyed spending my mornings with you It was fun and challenging trying to find ways to make your day a little easier to face It’s unfortunate that I can no longer have that I was told On March opportunity that “My services were no longer required” and FIRED by owner and I NOT DID Halloran manager Mike QUIT! Thanks again for accepting me and for appreciating the talents I have Sharing those talents with you was a I was looking wonderful opportunity forward to many years of providing this community with an excellent sounding radio station One we could all be proud of I truly enjoyed my work I wish you could hear more I want to thank all those who adverall tised area coaches and YOU-f- or your help and support It made my job so much more enjoyable and easier to do I appreciate and love you Kathy Farnsworth YOUR Great Awakening Middle America Search for “Middle America” Deaf by Bob Thomas This story got started back in 1965 I was a feature writer for the “Arizona Republic” in Phoenix then A telephone call one day suggested that I might find something interesting in a high school junior who had recently been elected secretary of a horse club It sounded promotional to me but I asked a few questions and learned the young lady was an outstanding and had been born deaf equestrienne And that’s how I got to meet Linda Wallace We did an interview at her parents’ home She read lips extremely well Even a set half covered with a drooping mustache Her voice was that unmodulated monotone of the deaf from birth but there was no her words She was a typical teenager She was dressed in jeans boots floppy sweatshirt Her hair was the color of wheat She was head long and and shoulders taller than her mother and built along the lines of the Twiggy She gave me a tour of one corner of her world It consisted of a stable and two horses One a Tennessee Walker standing 15 hands The other a Mustang that still held fire in his eyes There was a riding ring farther back on the acreage Inside the house in a enclosure that had been turned into a trophy room she showed me hundreds of cups and ribbons t and her collection of animals plastic she I’m going to be a veterinarian announced A day later before I had gotten around to writing the story her mother called me She asked me not to emphasize “that part about her wanting to be a veterinarian” She said she didn’t want her daughter to have too in life many disappointments said I’d “play it down” Two weeks later and the day after the article appeared Linda stormed to the Republic newsroom And I got r for not taking her royal serious about becoming a “vet” I calmed her down by walking her across the street and treating her to sundaes Before I left Phoenix three years later Miss Wallace was a sophomore at the University of Arizona in Tucson She was following a line of study Snoring: nothing to sneeze at by Jillyn Smith Science Writer Utah State University have a friend who sneezes when she goes outside into the sun “Aachoo” she says “The sun always makes me sneeze The sun doesn’t make me sneeze Does it make you sneeze? Not long ago a scientist studied this I recall he and his phenomenon-- as kids were determined that it’s a genetic trait Like the ability to roll the sides of your tongue up you either have it coded into your or you don’t genetic instructions Some scientists have turned their attention to the most basic kinds of that we usually just take gs for granted-ahave come up with teresting insights Take snoring Because my father snores I just thought that older men snored-athat women and children I A year ago I was back in Phoenix and called up the Wallaces I learned my little friend was now 38 a mother of two daughters divorced and had a DVM after her name She was Mrs Linda Shaunnessey and she lived in a small ranching community in northern Colorado I decided to drive up Where she was only impishly cute before she was now strikingly beautiful I don’t think she had gained five pounds And none of it in the hips She wore her hair shorter and tightly curled to her head And she menthols They didn’t seem to be doing her any harm She took me home after she closed her office and made me dinner because as she said there wasn’t a decent restaurant in town She threw four TV dinners into the oven and perked a pot of coffee I met her two girls: 10 and eight She explained her divorce quickly and simply “It didn’t work out” And that was the end of that tune I stayed for the better part of a week She put me up in a guest room and I bummed around with her on her rounds She reminded me of a female version of James Herriot She knew every animal on a first name basis I watched her pull a scraggly colt from a reluctant mare and never split a fingernail She inoculated cattle set a broken bone in a sheepdog’s foreleg treated a hog for a rattler’s bite and treated cuts on a cat that came out second best in a battle with a weasel I wondered what a woman of her talents and culture was doing in backwoods America “I’ll ask you the same question” she answered “I’m not any of those things don’t fit in the big cities” “Me neither” she said “There aren’t that many hogs in Down Phoenix” “You happy?” “I would be if had a guy at home to make me gin and tonics and listen to me complain about how tough my days go” “You taking applications?” “Don’t tempt me” It was all lighthearted banter between two friends But there for a moment shed about a score of years didn’t They were more refined or something What me snore? Never! Scientists who have studied snoring say that it has “both social and medical consequences” The social consequences I assume involve the snorer’s loved ones and probably consist of waking up the snorer saying “roll over you’re snoring” or sleeping in the other room Some snoring has been measured at 80 decibels That’s as loud as a jackhammer The medical consequences-- to the be lack of oxygen and stresses to the heart and lungs Scientists have discovered that snoring increases with age In people age 20 percent of men and 5 percent of women snore By age 60 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women are habitual snorers It’s not known why more men than women snore but snoring is also correlated with weight it occurs three times more often in obese people than in thin people |
