Howdy and welcome to Town Talk, the column that’s acquiring the proper perspective on the aging process:A college student challenged a senior citizen saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his. “You grew up in a different world,” the student said. “Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers …”Taking advantage of a pause in the student’s litany, the geezer said, “You’re right. We didn’t have those things when we were young; so we invented them!”Let’s see those icy hands

Vail’s ice bubble could be deflated for good if the town and the VRD don’t get enough support for it to make economic sense. So, the Valley Wide Ice Coalition is looking for ice users willing to commit to purchase ice time for the upcoming season. On Aug. 3 they need a show of hands from ice-using groups who will commit to help. Just make sure each of those hands has a check in it. Call Erv at 479-2271, Kristena at 904-1029 or Laine at 390-1504.’94 4-EverThe Battle Mountain High School Class of ’94 is hosting a reunion the weekend of Sept. 17-19.

Using a garden hose for a snorkel, he tied a 20-pound boat anchor to his waist and dove in. Hatfield couldn’t find the keys since he didn’t have goggles, so he tried again. On the second attempt, he lost his grip on the garden hose and a friend, sensing trouble, hauled him to the surface with a rope. By then Hatfield was not breathing, but by the time the Missouri State Water Patrol rescue squad arrived he was conscious and refused assistance. Hatfield says he wasn’t thinking about the risks when he hatched his recovery plan.
