A Wrinkle in Time Tooele County Seniors donned their suits, glasses and sun screen and spent the day soaking in the warm thermal pools at Crys-tal Hot Springs. It was a great trip!
This is one of the activities we have put together in an ef-fort to provide ways for Tooele County Seniors to live hap-py and active life styles. We work hard to have activities to promote active living as we age.
There is mounting evidence that longevity and activity are tied together. There are a wide variety of community set-tings where today’s older Americans are able to enjoy re-newed purpose in their later years. An active senior life-style is easily within reach for those willing to seek it out.
We encourage the seniors of Tooele County to come out and join us at these activities. If you have an activity idea that you think might be fun please share it with us.
Sweetheart (Affinity) Scam
Millions of Americans use dating sites, social networking sites, and chat rooms to meet people. And many forge suc-cessful relationships. But scammers also use these sites to meet potential victims. They create fake profiles to build online relationships, and eventually convince people to send money in the name of love. Some even make wedding plans before disappearing with the money. An online love interest who asks for money is almost certainly a scam artist.

10 Fun Facts about Summer: 1. The first modern Olympic Games were
held in the summer in 1896 in Athens, Greece.
2. The first day of summer is between June 20th and June 22nd every year. The first day of summer is called the summer solstice, and the day varies due to the Earth’s rotation not exactly reflecting our calendar year.
3. The last day of summer is September 20th.
4. Watermelon is one of summer’s best summer treats. Did you know that wa-termelons are not a fruit, but a vegetable instead? They belong to the cucumber family of vegetables.
5. The Eiffel Tower actually grows in the heat of the summer. Due to the iron ex-panding, the tower grows about 6 inches every summer.
6. If you love ice cream, the summer sea-son should be your favorite. July is na-tional ice cream month.
7. Another interesting fact about summer is that television shows used to only be reruns during the summer months. The idea being that everyone was outside enjoying the weather.
8. A June fun fact is that the month of June is named after the Roman goddess Juno.
9. The first women’s bathing suit was cre-ated in the 1800’s. It came with a pair of bloomers.
10. The “dog days of summer” refer to the dates from July 3rd to August 11th. They are named so after the Sirius the Dog Star. This star is located in the con-stellation of Canis Major.
