Age: Only my hairdresser knows for sure

The Grand Olde West Days committee is pleased with the results of their 18th annual three-day event.

The volunteer committee would like to thank the entire community for supporting Grand Olde West Days. This year’s event was a fantastic success thanks to our wonderful sponsors, those who worked hard behind the scenes and those who came out and enjoyed the diverse activities from the carnival to the concert, from the street fest to the car show, from the Centennial parade to the Wyman Museum and the 5K Boot Scoot, from the Warrior extreme stunt show to the Barn Dance and the Cowboy Action Shoot. What a great, busy weekend for everyone.

The city seems to have caught a break, and officials would like to seize the opportunity.

David Thomas Sherman, 46, of Tecumseh, Neb., was booked into Moffat County Jail on a warrant.

8:30 to 10 a.m. Senior swimnastics is at the American Legion Post 62 pool, 1055 Moffat County Road 7. Call 824-3625.

Summertime is on the horizon, and the City Park wave pool will be there when the time comes to dip your feet, city officials said.

Dr. J. Scott Ellis is settling into his new office at The Memorial Hospital as its newest staff member. The obstetrician and gynecologist said he wouldn’t mind being the “rookie” for a short period of time.

Never fished before? It doesn’t matter.

A wide medley of foods, from pork and pizzas to pineapples and potatoes, have crossed Chuck Fread’s grill the past 25 years, he said.

A little light, please. Reality has taken a holiday. We are paying $4 for a gallon of gas. And what does the liberal elite do? Shut down oil exploration in Alaska by declaring the polar bear threatened. Never mind the misuse of the Endangered Species Act, to place an animal on it that is thriving. The total disconnect at the cliff America is heading toward is what should scare us all. A liberal friend of mine told me that I quit drinking coffee and driving my SUV the rest of the world would have more. I don’t think that’s what’s wrong with Haiti and Africa. What is wrong is skinny Kenny and starving Stan steal everything any farmer tries to grow or that’s not nailed. There is a complete lack of civilization in other parts of the world. What these countries need is a sense of community, father and son events, town meetings and such.
