The staff at Max’s Place were quite excited to be taking part in last week’s Reach a Reader campaign, courtesy of Black Press and the Columbia Valley Alliance for Literacy. The third annual campaign in the Kootenays set out to raise funds and awareness for CBAL programs. See later this week in the Townsman for more details, and a special photo feature.

Cranbrook man in Awana club coming stable condition back to Cranbrook after bear attack ARNE PE TRYSHEN

The investigation is continuing into an incident Sunday, where a Cranbrook man was attacked by a grizzly while hunting near Fernie, according to Ministry of Environment Officials. Wilf Lloyd is reported to be in stable condition in Calgary, where he was airlifted after the Sunday morning attack. Lloyd also sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. His hunting partner — Lloyd’s son-in-law, “Skeet” Podrasky — shot

the bear several times in an attempt to rescue Lloyd. One of the shots hit Lloyd in the leg. He underwent surgery on Sunday, and again on Tuesday. Darrell Orth, a friend of Lloyd’s, told Mike Turner of Global News that both men were experienced hunters, who knew the area very well. They were hunting elk on Podrasky’s family land near Fernie when the bear attacked.

Growing up, the Awana kid’s club was a big part of Andrea Spowart’s life, so when she moved to Cranbrook she hoped to enrol her own children, but the club had disappeared years ago. So Spowart decided to bring the club back to Cranbrook. She is hoping to get parents and kids interested and signed up and plans to start it in January. “It’s something I grew up in and I really saw the value behind it,” Spowart said. “So now I have my own little kids, I want to pass it on to them.” The Awana club has been around internationally for over 60 years. “It had its first club in Cranbrook years ago,” Spowart said. “It stands for Approved Workmen Are Not

Ashamed. That is from Bible verse 2 Timothy 2:15. “It’s a kids club. Technically it goes from ages 2-18, we’re going to just focus on Grades 2-6.” She said the club is centred around game circles, and athletic ability doesn’t matter. “You could be the best sports person going or you could hate P.E. in school and you could play these games,” she said. “That’s part of the draw to Awana, is the kids love these games.” On top of that there is a handbook time, where kids learn Bible verses, as well as a song time and a group time. That makes up the evening.

The municipal election has another entrant, as Tom Shypitka declared his intent to run for city council on Wednesday. Shypitka, who provides financial services with Sun Life Financial, decided to enter the race this time after reflecting on the current state of affairs in the city. “At this stage of my life, I felt I had the responsibility to make a positive change to the city I love, rather than just talking about it,” said Shypitka. “I will not be the candidate who finger points and says who or what is to blame for any shortfalls the city has seen in recent years. Rather, I prefer to concentrate on the positive and will

look forward from where we are now.” Shypitka, a bornand-raised fourth generation resident of Cranbrook who has been a self-employed business owner for 33 years, wants to grow business while also tackling infrastructure, services and culture.

Hudson enters Council race TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The deadline for nominations for the municipal election passed on Friday, but there was one final entrant for city council. Anna Hudson has entered the race with a platform that includes improving Cranbrook’s infrastructure, particularly roads, water and sewage systems, while building up the local economy. “Overall, I’m interested in ensuring that Cranbrook city council does everything it can to

ensure that Cranbrook remains one of the best places to live, work and raise our families,” wrote Hudson, in a press release. Hudson is an educator, public administrator, facilitator and a legally trained researcher. She is also a spoken word performance artist, with a love of democratic theory and practice that is a longstanding personal and professional pursuit.

On October 5, members of the Ktunaxa Running Club travelled to Pablo, Montana, to attend the Salish Kootenai College Basketball Clinic. Based on age and skill level, participants were put through a day of drills and skill testing events. Organizers anticipated 150 registrants, but were pleasantly surprised when 300 youth and approximately 900 parents showed for the event. Athletes and attendees were from Montana, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Council moving to digital agendas for future meetings Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Paper agendas will soon be a thing of the past, as Cranbrook city council is going digital with iPads. The city will be implementing electronic agendas and council packages in the name of increased cost savings, reduced paper and photocopier expenses, and increased

efficiency. On Monday council approved the Electronic Devices/iPads and Council Agendas Policy which sets out the processes and guidelines for the usage of the electronic devices. Coun. Denise Pallsen noted the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) currently has digital agendas and in

the past when she attended meetings she saw the benefits. “They have everything on computer screens,” Pallesen said. “It saves their staff many, many hours in copying and collating. I found that it was so much easier. You get your package ahead of time electronically, then you go to the regional

district meeting and pull them up on your screens. It makes it more efficient and it saves them, as it will save us, a lot of money in the long run.” Mayor Wayne Stetski sits on the RDEK board. He noted that having the electronic agenda in front of himself in the regional district meeting makes it much easi-

Heywood returning as WFP Events Manager Townsman Staff

A familiar face will soon be taking over events duties at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook. On Tuesday morning, the City of Cranbrook announced that Paul Heywood, former manager of the Key City Theatre, has accepted the position of Events and Marketing Manager at Western Financial Place. The City press release noted that Paul is very familiar with Cranbrook and the entertainment industry. From 1997 to 2004, he managed the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, and brought a wide variety of entertainment to the facility. During his time in Cranbrook, Paul was very active with the Rotary Club, and worked with many non-profit groups in the area. Paul was known for his assistance on programs and festivals, helping them become a viable and

Paul Heywood vital part of the community. “I am excited to be returning to Cranbrook, with my wife and family to once again see old friends, and continue the challenge of bringing exceptional talent to the area,” Heywood said. “I know Cranbrook. I can market the

strengths of Cranbrook and Western Financial Place to agents and promoters across North America ensuring that entertainment and concerts are a vital part of Western Financial Place.” Paul’s most recent occupation is the Director of Theatre Opera-

tions at the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre in Medicine Hat. His involvement started in the early development and planning stages of the $42M facility, to where it is now being recognized as one of the top 100 venues in North America. During his time at Medicine Hat, the venue has won national awards for acoustics, marketing, and architectural design. Paul himself has been nominated as Presenter of the Year by the Canadian Arts Presenting Association. “Having been involved in over 800 shows and events, Paul’s experience and industry connections will help the City build our capacity to deliver premiere live entertainment to our residents and the region”, noted Chris New, Director of Leisure Services with the City of Cranbrook. Paul will be joining the City of Cranbrook in early January.

er to work through. “Because we only meet once a month, sometimes our agendas have 700-1,000 pages to go through,” he said. City staff noted that it will be about $15,000 to buy the iPads and upgrade the city’s systems. Electronic devices will be made available to members of council, the CAO, the director of corporate services and the municipal clerk sometime after the municipal election in November. The new policy sets out clear guidelines and responsibilities for the use of electronic devices, as well as restrictions around downloading of materials, security, breakage and loss of devices, retirement from council and policy breach. Members of council and designated staff will have to sign the policy prior to receiving the devices, which

Gerry Warner said that despite not getting along well with technology, he would reluctantly support the transition. “I guess once you learn how to do it, it is more efficient and quick

and all that,” Warner said. Stetski noted the iPads would be for city business only, and could not for personal use under the policy. The iPads will use an app to access the agendas and minutes.

Awana coming back Continued from page 1

Spowart said the club had been absent from Cranbrook for 15 years or so. “It was run out of the Alliance Church, now it’s going to be run out of the Fellowship Baptist Church. It’s a non-denominational club.” She hopes that people will register their kids, as what the club will offer will depend greatly on who signs up. She said it will also depend greatly on leaders. She said being a leader is hassle-free. “The nice thing

about Awana is you just show up,” she said. “There’s no preparation, you just show up, do your two hours and then you go home until next week. “When I was growing up my parents were both leaders, my brother and I were both in the club. A lot of the time, people make it kind of a family thing to go to.” The club will run one night a week on Wednesday evenings. It will cost $30 a child from January to April or May, then start back up

in September. Spowart grew up travelling the world and everywhere she went there was Awana. “In Israel, we would go to the West Bank every Tuesday and helped out with the Awana club,” she said. “Then we went to Nepal and went to these orphanages and there was Awana being run in the orphanages.” She said it is in 100 different countries. The website to register your kids is www.awanabc. ca/cranbrook. Or call Spowart at 426-6560 for more info.

JCI Kootenay to host public All Candidates Forum For the Townsman

On Wednesday, October 29, the public can meet the local candidates vying for your support for the upcoming Nov. 15 municipal election. JCI Kootenay is spon-

soring Cranbrook’s All Candidates Forum, an opportunity for all Cranbrook citizens to ask the questions important to them and hear from the potential leaders representing Cranbrook in the 2014-2018 term.

The forum will start at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Key City Theatre. The organization is seeking to boost the dismal voter turnouts from previous elections. In the 2011 municipal poll,

Cranbrook’s voter turnout was only 33 per cent. “JCI is striving to help curb voter apathy with the All Candidates Forum by making it easier for the public to get to know the candidates,”

Bear attack victim stable Continued from page 1 Orth spoke highly of Lloyd, who he described as one who loved the outdoors, wildlife and hunting. Orth also praised the actions of Podrasky. “For him to have the presence of mind was heroic. It appears to have saved (Lloyd’s) life.

It could have ended up much worse than it did. He did something very brave in killing the bear that was attacking his father-in-law.” Mary Giuliano, Mayor of Fernie, told Mike Turner that there has been an increase in bear sightings in Fernie

over the past three to four years. “Last year we actually had them wandering around town.” Giuliano said current education programs, like Bear Aware, help residents know how to react if they see a bear.

Candidates will be asked a short set of structured questions followed by questions from the au-

“Budget speaking, this is a balancing act, so as council, we have to be very savvy on how we allocate our expenses,” Shypitka said. “We need council to have business sense so as to eliminate useless or non productive spending.” A working relationship between council and residents is one of Shypitka’s biggest goals, if elected. “We, the citizens, have to understand that city council is trying its best to improve the city,” Shypitka said. “There will always be left versus right viewpoints, but I think it is council’s job to bridge the gap between the two groups. “It is where we will

get our best work done and this is where I believe I can help the most. We have to do this together.” Outside politics, Shypitka’s name may resonate due to his curling career, where he has played at the highest level and beaten the best in the world. During his time on the curling sheets, he learned the importance of playing as a team. “Individually, a team may not comprise the best players, but if all members have the same focus, goals, and direction, it is amazing what you can accomplish,” Shypitka said. Cranbrook is a regional hub and has a

backdrop that makes it one of the best places to live on the planet, said Shypitka, pointing to services such as the College of the Rockies and the Canadian Rockies International Airport and the opportunities for outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, hiking and mountain biking. “Let’s focus on the bigger picture and throw ourselves out to the world,” Shypitka said. “Lets be creative in attracting new businesses and improving the ones that are already here. Lets improve on community and work as a team. “This won’t work otherwise.”

A colourful history in black and white “Life’s just a soap-opera without commercials.” Anonymous

o they call them ‘snaps’ anymore? Folk were always taking snaps years ago. I had a folding Kodak camera that I hauled about all over the place; I took snaps. Anyway, the photographs around me here in my living-room are not snaps; they are portraits, some taken by professionals, some by gifted amateurs, and some just neatly mounted and framed. They are extremely personal to me. That’s why they’re not merely stored on my computer; I want to look at them every day; they are my life. Well, not all of it. Most of them date from my wedding to Jean (Jimmy) Alexander and that was 63 years ago. That is why most of them are monochrome, good old black and white prints. The wedding picture: Jimmy and I look ridiculously young. I am wearing the only suit that I think I’ve ever owned. What happened to that gorgeous wedding dress on my lovely wife? I have no idea. Another B/W picture is of Jimmy and me in Scotland. I like to tease new friends and say that that ‘snap’ was taken on our honeymoon. It was the same year but nine months later and we’re standing outside a

tumbledown ‘bothy’ in the Scottish highlands. We spent Christmas there with friends and, I seem to recall, there was more snow inside that hut than on the hills around it. We must have worn those same smelly clothes for a full week; there were no facilities whatsoever, but we had a marvellous time. There’s a professional black and white portrait of Jimmy on the top of the TV. She looks great, but not the way I remember her. The one that I took of her flying down the Kimberley ski hill is more like it, and the one Peter of her standing on a high Warland ridge in the Rockies, looking out over Dibble Glacier, is the way I’ll always remember her. Hanging on the fireplace there is a picture of the whole family, except for our daughter’s husband, who took the snap on the occasion of our 50th wedding celebration. We were all at Silver Star ski hill in the Okanagan and there only eight of us, the sum total of the Warlands here in Canada. I can still remember our son coming home from school one day complaining that he had no cousins around; all of his friends had dozens of relatives, even in town. Quite frankly, I’ve never missed them. Friends you can choose; rellies you are stuck with. In the hallway there are two frames

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

containing pictures of our two families. Years ago I caught our son’s daughter staring at the one that contains the Warland side. Jessica said something like, “Wow! Isn’t he cute?” I think my chest swelled just a tad because there are two pictures of me in that frame: one in my RAF uniform and the other on a mountain side where I am coiling a climbing rope. I asked which one Jess liked and she flattened me by pointing to my Dad in his Royal Flying Corps ensemble. He does look dashing. Another favourite of mine is of our son as a teenager. He has blond hair down to his shoulders and he is nursing his guitar, the one he learned to play so well. I keep reminding myself that his parents, Jimmy and I, had no musical talent; I wonder where that came from. The pictures that make me smile were taken 20 years apart. In the first monochrome print I am standing, holding our baby daughter in one arm and I have that dazed look of ‘Now! What have we done?’ on my face. The other coloured print is of the same daughter with her arms around me as we stand laughing with glee on the top of a local mountain. Something must have turned out all right. There are the graduation pictures of the grand-children all around the place but they are so posed. They look so very little like the actual kids we know. That’s disappointing.

Bozon’s road to the pros brings him back to Cranbrook Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It’s no secret Tim Bozon wants to play professional hockey. After being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in the third round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the 6-foot-1 winger tore up the Western Hockey League, finishing ninth in league scoring with 36 goals and 91 points as he suited up with the Kamloops Blazers during the 2012-13 season. That left no question the Habs made good in taking the French national with the 64th pick. Tim Bozon was going to be a sure-fire pro hockey player in short order after the type of season he had in 2012-13. Fast-forward two years and rather than suiting up for his first season of professional hockey, Bozon finds himself back in Cranbrook preparing to pull Kootenay Ice colours over his head as a 20-year-old over-ager. “I’m happy to see the boys again, I shared some good moments with them [last season],” Bozon said prior to

practice Tuesday afternoon. “Obviously, it’s not the place I want to be right now. I want to play pro hockey but unfortunately something happened to me in March last year so [the] Montreal [Canadiens] think it’s better for me to play in the WHL with Kootenay for now.” The “something” that happened to Bozon was a well-documented, life-and-death battle with neisseria meningitis that left the promising prospect in a medically-induced coma at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. Bozon made immense steps in his recovery this past summer, culminating with his attendance at training camps with the Canadiens and the team’s AHL affiliate in Hamilton this fall. “There weren’t many people that thought I would be at training camp, and I was,” Bozon said. “I said, ‘I’m ready to play.’ I didn’t want to just show up [to camp to] say I was there.” Bozon didn’t just show up to training camp. He suited up in

NHL pre-season action Sept. 26 in Quebec City when the Habs edged the Colorado Avalanche 3-2. After being assigned to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs, Bozon dressed for a handful of pre-season games with the Canadiens affiliate before getting the news he would spend the 201415 campaign in the WHL. “Everyone told me I played pretty good and I had a really good camp [in Hamilton],” Bozon added. “I’m here back in junior not because I was not good enough…You can tell in puck battles with bigger guys, professional guys, it’s tougher. I need to regain my strength.” Back in Cranbrook, Bozon’s focus is on regaining his goal-scoring confidence and rebuilding the strength that not only made him one of the WHL’s most dangerous offensive threats, but also projected him as one of the Montreal Canadiens’ most prized young prospects. “Our job is to get him to pro hockey,” said Kootenay Ice head

For the first time since being assigned to the Kootenay Ice by the Montreal Canadiens Friday, Oct. 10, forward Tim Bozon (pictured last season) was back with the Ice at Western Financial Place Tuesday. coach Ryan McGill Tuesday afternoon. “He’s had a setback, clearly, because of what he has been through. “He’s worked his butt off to get to where he is right now. The Montreal Canadiens feel he needs more and it’s our job to get him where he needs to go.” Bozon will get every opportunity to regain that goal-scoring confidence with a Kootenay

Canadian Olympian Szabados ready for full season in men’s minor pro league Donna Spencer Canadian Press

Shannon Szabados knows from her taste of the Southern Professional Hockey League to expect the unexpected. The goalie went down to Georgia at the end of September to get ready for a full season with the Columbus Cottonmouths. Training camp opens today. The 10-team SPHL is a minor pro men’s league based in the southeastern United States. Szabados started in a pair of one-goal losses to conclude 2013-14 and played the third period of a Cottonmouths playoff loss in April. “Getting a taste of what it would be like for the next seven or eight months that I’ll be here was definitely an advan-

tage,” Szabados said from Columbus. “It will be nice to start here fresh at the beginning of the season and get in a few games and be on the ice every day.” The Cottonmouths open at home Oct. 24 against the Knoxville Ice Bears. Head coach and general manager Jerome Bechard told The Canadian Press he was leaning towards starting Szabados in the season-opener, even though returning veteran Andrew Loewen of Winnipeg has more pro experience. “I want to get that first win for her really bad,” Bechard said. “We play 56 games. In my mind, right off the bat, the plan is for her to get 20 games, if not more. I guess time will tell and we’ll see.” Szabados said she

hadn’t been told of Bechard’s plans, but she wouldn’t expect him to ease her into the season based on previous experience. She accepted his invitation last March to join the Cottonmouths. Szabados had just backstopped the Canadian women’s hockey team to Olympic gold Feb. 20 in Sochi, Russia. Szabados also filled in March 5 at an Edmonton Oilers practice when the NHL team was temporarily short a goalie. After assuring Szabados he would give her time to adjust to her new team, Bechard threw her into the final home game after just two practices. Szabados stopped 27 shots March 15 in a 4-3 loss to Knoxville. Szabados also had 32 saves in a 3-2 loss in Huntsville less than a week later for a com-

bined 3.55 goals-against average (GAA) and .894 save percentage (SP). The 28-year-old played the last 23 minutes of Game 1 of the SPHL championship against Pensacola in relief of Loewen. Szabados allowed three goals in a 9-1 blowout. The Ice Flyers swept Columbus in the two-game series. Bechard re-signed Szabados in July with the expectation she and Loewen will be the Cottonmouths goalies this season. “I wouldn’t bring her in if she wasn’t legit and didn’t give us an opportunity to win,” Bechard said. “She is probably one of the most technical goalies I’ve seen. “If she’s susceptible, it would be on a rebound, back-door goal because she is a little smaller than Andrew

Ice club starving for offense. The Ice have scored 19 goals through eight games to start the 2014-15 WHL season. In the WHL’s Central Division, only the Lethbridge Hurricanes, with 16 goals, have scored less than the Ice. With 43 tallies, the division-leading Medicine Hat Tigers have more than doubled Kootenay’s offensive output so far this season.

“His tenacity and his will to score is unbelievable,” McGill added. “The kid wants to score every shift. Hopefully that leadership rubs off on other guys.” Bozon is expected to be in the lineup Friday night when the Ice host the Regina Pats at Western Financial Place. Though nothing is set in stone, he could skate alongside centre Luke Philp and right-winger

Jaedon Descheneau. The two veteran forwards represent the team’s top scorers thus far -- Descheneau with five goals and eight points, Philp with four goals and seven points. “Personally, I just play my game and enjoy [it],” Bozon said. “I’m an offensive player...but I just want to be a good player overall, a twoway player.”

and some of the other goalies. But she’s pretty acrobatic and goes side to side with the best of them. She’s really key on making that first save look simple and not giving up the rebounds.” Szabados, five-footeight and 148 pounds, made 27 saves in Canada’s 3-2 thrilling overtime win over the U.S. to defend women’s hockey gold in Sochi. She posted a 28-save shutout over the Americans in the women’s Olympic hockey final in 2010. But Szabados has spent the majority of her career in men’s leagues and it’s where she feels comfortable. Szabados played four years in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with Sherwood Park, Bonneyville and Fort Saskatchewan. Szabados was named the AJHL’s top goaltender in 2006-07. She spent five years in Alberta men’s college hockey with Grant MacEwen and then NAIT. She set an ACAC re-

cord for the lowest GAA (1.58) in 2012-13 when the Ooks won their first championship in 16 years. The SPHL will be her toughest challenge yet in the men’s game. “It’s definitely the highest level I’ve played,” Szabados said. “Going from junior to the ACAC and then to here, it’s similar style except the guys are older, bigger, stronger and faster.” “For me, reaction time and working that into my game has helped me over the years. I started playing hockey with guys when I was five and have stuck with it. Now there’s a lot more female teams, but I really didn’t have that option.” Szabados says her teammates on the Canadian women’s team haven’t given her grief about playing men’s hockey when she could be playing in, and promoting, the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. “On the players’ side of it, they understand,” she said. “As a goalie, it’s

a little easier to play against guys twice your size. A lot of them have said if they could do it, they would. Especially within Hockey Canada, they’ve been pretty supportive.” Bechard’s connection to women’s hockey is cousin Kelly Bechard, a forward from Sedley, Sask., who won Olympic gold with the Canadian women in 2002. He’s a Regina native who compiled 280 penalty minutes with the Moose Jaw Warriors in 1987-88. Manon Rheaume appeared in the first of two NHL pre-season games 22 years ago with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bechard admits the novelty of a female goalie in the male game still fill seats. “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say ‘hey, it’s a great story with her being here and competing against the guys,”’ he said. “I’m trying to grow hockey in a non-traditional sport in the south.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll be able to mobilize your energy, express compassion and avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, an argument suddenly could ensue from a misunderstanding. See what happens if you choose to go with the flow. Tonight: Let a hassle wash right over you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to others, yet also tap into your own knowledge.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m 63 and fat, have been divorced for 20 years and live at the poverty level on social security. I am depressed and do not see the point of anything. My three adult children are grown and are truly great people. I see all of them about once a week. I also have two wonderful grandchildren. They are my only success, but they have their own lives. I would like a part-time job, but cannot stand for more than five minutes at a time because of my weight. I just started a medical weight loss program, but it will be at least a year before the results will make a difference. I sleep 10 to 12 hours a day because I don’t want to think about my life. My doctor suggested taking more of my antidepressant, but it has not helped. Do you know of anything that will? -- Lonely and Depressed in Indy Dear Lonely: First talk to your doctor about changing your antidepressant. You may have built up a tolerance, making it less effective. Then check your state, city and county government offices for jobs for women, seniors and the disabled, or for vocational training services to learn to do computer work from home. You might also find help through the U.S. Dept. of Labor (doleta.gov) or through servicelocator.org at 1-877-US2-JOBS. Please don’t give up. Dear Annie: This is the first letter I’ve ever written to an advice column, but I’d like to present the other side of the story. I read the letter from “No Lights,” who complained about her husband, to whom she’s been married for 40 years. She said he neglects her and their home, has had numerous affairs, and “forces” her to have sex. You said it seemed abusive. Having lived a similar life, here’s my take: I have been married for 35 years to a woman who is depressed, overweight and neglectful. I still love her, but she makes it difficult. We haven’t had sex in more than 14 years because she doesn’t care for it. And she won’t talk about it with me or see a counselor. She hasn’t kissed or hugged me in just as long of a time. When I try to hug her, she says, “Leave me alone.” We don’t go anywhere together. We don’t sleep together. She says it’s my fault, but our grown children know that’s not true. There are reasons people do what they do, but it’s not always the fault of one person. I admit my part in this, but at least I’m willing to discuss it and clear the air. It’s not always the husband’s fault. -- P. Dear P.: We appreciate your input and don’t deny that some wives can be difficult and problems with intimacy run both ways. We know that some unhappy couples claim to love each other and choose to stay together, but it doesn’t justify neglect, forced sex and multiple affairs. This is why we recommend counseling for those who are miserable, whether your spouse goes or not. When partners treat each other disrespectfully and abusively, they are better off apart. Dear Annie: I appreciate your printing the letter about the rare congenital disorder schizencephaly. As a pathologist with special training in childhood diseases, I would also like to bring attention to the nonprofit organization known as NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders). They are headquartered in Danbury, Conn. Their website, www. rarediseases.org, has a wealth of information about rare diseases, most of which become symptomatic in infancy or childhood. Their user-friendly website has separate sections for patients and their families, patient support organizations, and medical professionals. -- J.W.

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.
