CAROLYN GRANTThe weather has been
warm and relatively dry and many East Kootenay resi-dents are packing up the RV’s and beginning the camping season early. And one of the busiest camping weekends of the year comes this weekend with the May long weekend.
That means one and all should be thinking about campfire safety.
Jordan Turner, informa-tion officer with the South-east Fire Centre says that things are busier than at this time last year, likely because of the earlier snow melt.
“We are seeing more fires
currently,” he said. “So far, there have been 25 — all human caused. Last year was busy and had 12 at this peri-od in the season. It’s due to the early snow melt, there’s lots of dead, dry grass which can catch quickly and cause fires to spread.”
Over the past weekend
there were four fires, again all human caused, Turner says.
“Two of the fires were northeast of Cranbrook and the result of unsafe campfire use,” he said. “We need to remind people to be extra careful and make sure your campfire is completely out.”
There were two fires in
the Elkford/Sparwood area, one a result of poorly planned burning on a rural property and the other caused by a spark during tar-get shooting.
“A little thing can lead to a wildfire,” Turner said. “It’s been quite hot and dry and this week there are some
storm systems forecast that could bring lightning caused fires. Our crews will be busy enough with those without having to respond to hu-man-caused fires.”

TRE VOR CR AWLEYA hiker was rescued off of Fisher
Peak this past weekend by Cran-brook Search and Rescue and re-quired an airlift due to a leg injury.
A pair of hikers were trekking up Maus Creek on Saturday and decided to head up the Fisher Peak trail until the snow got too heavy. After one of the hikers stepped into the snow, it gave way and his leg was cut open by a rock underneath.
Search and Rescue deployed at roughly 6:20 p.m. to a call for an in-jured hiker and were able to locate the pair, but didn’t have enough time to get them off the mountain by nightfall.
“The hiker had a fall and injured his leg and we put a team together and hiked in,” said Greg Bedwell, with Cranbrook SAR. “We located
him, got him all settled, it was getting too dark, quite steep terrain and we didn’t want to get caught on the side of the mountain in the dark.
“So we just made him comfort-able, stabilized him and we had a helicopter come in the morning and we long-lined him down to the wait-ing ambulance.”
The injured man was removed at about 8:30 a.m. on Sunday. In total, there were six Cranbrook SAR mem-bers and two Kimberley SAR mem-bers who were a part of the opera-tion.
SAR were also called out on two other incidents this past weekend to assist with B.C. Ambulance Service. Those two incidents included an ATV rollover at Horseshoe Lake and a medical emergency 15 kilometres up the Wildhorse.

Though the end of the Second World War in the European theatre marked its 70th anniver-sary on Friday, the im-pact of the conflict is still felt today—even in Cranbrook.
Members of the Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 24, government representatives, 1813 Cranbrook Cadets and other emergency ser-vices personnel were part of a ceremony at Rotary Park on Saturday morning to honour vet-erans who served in the Second World War and other global conflicts.
Beginning with a pa-rade down 10th Ave, the flag-bearers and the pipe band, and the vet-erans, the group marched into Rotary
Park to start the ceremo-ny.
Pastor Dave Morton delivered a sermon and Hans Dekkers, a retired fighter pilot in the Dutch military, made a closing address. Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt, Koote-nay East MLA Bill Ben-nett and Kootenay-Co-lumbia MP David Wilks also made a few remarks.
Music was provided by the Kimberley Com-munity Band, the Kim-berley Pipe Band and the Cranbrook Girls Bugle Band.

C A R O LY N G R A N TThe BC River Forecast
Centre has released the lat-est snow pillow data and record lows have been re-corded in many areas of the province, including the East Kootenay.
As of May 1, the East Kootenay snow basin index for high elevation (1100 to 2000 m) was 46 per cent of normal. The West Koote-nay is at 57 per cent, and
Boundary 58 per cent. Ex-tremely low indices have been recorded at Skagit, 14 per cent; Vancouver Island, 14 per cent; and the Lower Fraser, 24 per cent.
Field observations around the province indi-cate that snow packs at val-ley bottom to mid-eleva-tion (e.g. 800 to 1100m) have mostly melted and recent accumulations at these elevations in the
north have also melted.However, according to
the Southeast Fire Centre, it’s not really the snow pack that drives what a potential fire season may be like, but the amount of spring rain that falls.
“If we get a rainy June, it has a big effect,” said Jor-dan Turner, Information Officer for the Southeast Fire Centre. “If hot, dry conditions persist, there is
a chance of a busy fire sea-son. But there are a few factors that go into that.”
The River Forecast Cen-tre is predicting very low flows in streams this sum-mer.
“With extremely low snow packs in the Lower Fraser, South Coast, Similkameen, East Koote-nay, Skagit and Vancouver Island, runoff from snow melt will be limited. Sea-
sonal low flows are expect-ed to occur earlier than nor-mal this year, very low flows can be expected in the sum-mer unless significant rain-fall occurs through the spring and summer. Lower than normal snow packs in the West Kootenay, East Kootenay, Boundary, Similkameen, Okanagan, Northwest indicate an in-creased likelihood of sum-mer low flows in these re-
gions as well.”The Forecast Centre also
predicts that there is a 70 per cent chance El Nino conditions will persist into the summer. Environment Canada is forecasting a very high likelihood of above normal tempera-tures over the May to July period across British Co-lumbia, particularly for the coastal and southeastern areas of the province.

ARNe PeTRYsheNGordon Terrace Elemen-
tary School held it’s annual celebration of the arts on Thursday, May 7. In the gym,
students’ art projects — paintings and drawings — lined the tables and walls. Students were also selling crafts and gifts for Mothers’
Day, with all the funds raised going to help with disaster relief in Nepal. The funds from past art shows were used to build a school in
Nepal which shares the Gor-don Terrace name. This year, because of the earthquake, the surrounding areas have been hit hard, and the school
is being used as a shelter for a number of families, as such the funds will be used to help those in the area.
The art celebration lasted
throughout the day and into the early evening with enter-tainment to go along with it, including music and differ-ent class presentations.

If you have an RV, camper, boat or trailer you are asked to please find another place to park them when not in use, other than a City street. That is the mes-sage from Bylaw Ser-vices with the City of Cranbrook.
City Bylaw Services
staff field numerous complaints on a regular basis each spring and summer relating to trail-ers blocking driveways and using limited on street parking for long periods of time.
“Enforcement of this bylaw is generally com-plaint driven,” says Naomi Humenny, Bylaw
Services Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “Citi-zens of Cranbrook are generally following the bylaw. This time of year is good to get out the re-minder, especially now with spring and camp-ing season beginning.”
The bylaw prohibits parking recreational ve-hicles and trailers on
residential streets be-tween the hours of 10 am and 3 pm and pro-hibits parking unat-tached trailers on any street at any time, unless in an emergency situa-tion.
The bylaw applies to travel trailers, tent trail-ers, campers and motor homes as well as boats
City says off-street parking a must for your trailer, camper or RVand boats on trailers. The intent of the regula-tion is to keep City streets safe and accessi-
ble for vehicular and pe-destrian use.

The Friends of the Cranbrook Public Li-brary are asking for do-nations for their upcom-ing garage sale. Storage space is quite limited so donations can only be accepted on Friday, June 12, the day before the sale itself. In particu-lar, household items such as pots, pans, tools, toys, jewelry, pictures, linens, lamps and gar-dening items are much appreciated, but the Friends will take what-ever else you have ex-cept for large furniture. Please bring items to the Manual Training School from 9 am to 5 pm.
Now is the time to declutter your home. Don’t forget, clutter can be a source of stress, so purging can be good for your mental well-being.

Jenny byfordJCI Kootenay (Junior
Chamber Internation-al), Fort Steele Heritage Town and Family Fish-ing Derby sponsors are being thanked for a suc-cessful Family Fun Derby at Fort Steele after unseasonably warm weather spoiled plans for the traditional ice fishing event at Horseshoe Lake.
In place of the Family Fishing Derby, JCI Koo-tenay and Fort Steele Heritage Town teamed up earlier this March to host an active, outdoor event for children and families across the Koo-tenays. The Fun Derby kept participants enter-tained with a host of games and contests in-cluding children’s mys-tery catch, bean bag toss, sack race, arts and crafts, tug-o-war, three legged races, wagon rides and a scavenger hunt. The Wildhorse Theatre also featured two showings of the popular animated movie Penguins of Mad-agascar. For the adults, there was an adult fly casting competition, si-lent auction, door prizes and 50/50 draw. Hot coffee, hot chocolate and chilli were gener-ously provided by Cran-brook Tim Hortons.
In addition to fund-raising over $7,700, local sponsors made some dreams come true for local children. Dean
and Tracey Uphill of Da-cota Freight sponsored a trip to Disneyland for Elkford cancer survivor Evan Payne-Smuin and his family; this is a lega-cy Dean and Tracey have generously contin-ued every year the Derby has been held. Sunshine Houseboats Ltd. sponsored a house-boat vacation for cancer survivor Austin Fahselt from Jaffray.
The winners of the children’s mystery catch included: Tayton Robi-son, Ronan Hong, Jack Dakin, Liam Temple and Dan Lunn. Kimber-ley’s 6-year-old Tayton Robison won a 55-inch plasma TV and 10-year-old Ronan Hong from Cranbrook won the PlayStation system both courtesy of Caliper Ma-chine & Hydraulics. Rick Hedrick was serendipi-tously the winner of both 50/50 draws and the adult fly casting competition.
The annual derby is a fundraiser to support children and families with cancer. Lynnette Wray, Canadian Cancer Society Team Lead for Financial Support Pro-grams expresses her ap-preciation to all in-volved:
“JCI Kootenay did an amazing job with this event, adjusting to some very challenging cir-cumstances, in terms of the warm weather,” Wray said. “It was so
generous of Fort Steele to step forward to pro-vide an alternate loca-tion; that was an amaz-ing example of our East Kootenay community spirit. The funds raised by JCI Kootenay will be used to assist people with their travel and ac-
commodation expenses to attend cancer treat-ment, through our Ca-nadian Cancer Society Financial Support Pro-gram. The Financial Support Program is very well used in the Koote-nays, due to our dis-tance from major can-
cer treatment centres in BC, such as Kelowna and Vancouver, as well as Alberta treatment centres in Calgary and Lethbridge.”
After an unusually mild winter, many of the Society’s winter-orient-ed fundraising events
were cancelled across the province. Wray notes the Society is es-pecially grateful for the alternative Fun Derby. “On behalf of the Cana-dian Cancer Society, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to JCI Kootenay, Fort Steele,
all the businesses and organizations that do-nated to the event, and everyone who attended. We look forward to an even bigger and better event next year.” With a better winter, the event will return to the ice next year.

OpiniOn/EvEnts
L eft-wing, right-wing, it makes no dif-ference. Almost every elected gov-ernment, confronted with even the
slightest “terrorist threat”, responds by at-tacking the civil liberties of its own citizens. And the citizens often cheer them on.
Last week, the French government passed a new bill through the National Assembly that vastly expanded the pow-ers of the country’s intelligence services. French intelligence agents will now be free to plant cameras and recording devices in pri-vate homes and cars, inter-cept phone conversations without judicial oversight, even install “keylogger” devices that record every key stroke on a targeted computer in real time.
It was allegedly a response to the “Charlie Hebdo” attacks that killed 17 people in Paris last January, but the secu-rity services were just waiting for an ex-cuse. Indeed, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that the law was needed to give a legal framework to intelligence agents who are already pursuing some of these practices illegally. France, he explained, has never “had to face this kind of terror-ism in our history.”
Meanwhile, over in Canada, Defence Minister Jason Kenney was justifying a similar over-reaction in by saying that “the threat of terrorism has never been greater.” Really?
In all the time since 9/11 there had never been a terrorist attack in Canada until last October, when two Canadian soldiers were killed in separate incidents. Both were low-tech, “lone wolf” attacks by Canadian converts to Islam — in one, the murder weapon was simply a car – but the public (or at least the media) got so
excited that the government felt the need to “do something.”
The Anti-Terror Act, which has just passed the Canadian House of Commons, gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service the right to make “preventive” ar-rests in Canada. It lets police arrest and detain individuals without charge for up to seven days. The bill’s prohibitions on speech that “promotes or glorifies terror-ism” are so broad and vague that any ex-
treme political opinion can be criminalised.
In short, it’s the usual smorgasbord of crowd-pleasing measures that politicians throw out when they want to look tough. It won’t do much to stop terrorist attacks, but
that doesn’t matter as the threat is pretty small anyway.
France has 65,000,000 million people, and it lost 17 of them to terrorism in the past year. Canada has 36,000,000 million people, and it has lost precisely 2 of them to domestic terrorism in the past twenty years. In what way were those lives more valuable than those of the hundreds of people who die each year in France and Canada from less newsworthy crimes of violence like murder?
Why haven’t they changed the law to stop more of those crimes? If you moni-tored everybody’s electronic communica-tions all the time, and bugged their homes and cars, you could probably cut the mur-der rate in half. The price, of course, would be that you have to live in an Or-wellian surveillance state, and we’re not willing to pay that price. Not just to cut the murder rate.
The cruel truth is that we put a higher value on the lives of those killed in terror-
ist attacks because they get more publici-ty. That’s why, in an opinion poll last month, nearly two-thirds of French peo-ple were in favor of restricting freedoms in the name of fighting extremism — and the French parliament passed the new security law by 438 votes to 86.
The government in France is Socialist, but the opposition centre-right supported the new law too. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government in Canada is seriously right-wing, but the centre-right Liberals were equally unwill-ing to risk unpopularity by opposing it. On the other hand, the centre-left New Democrats and the Greens voted against, and the vote was closer in Canada: 183 to 96.
And the Canadian public, at the start 82 percent in favour of the new law, had a rethink during the course of the debate. By the time the Anti-Terror Act was passed in the House of Commons, 56 percent of Canadians were against it. Among Cana-dians between 18 and 34 years old, fully three-quarters opposed it.
Maybe the difference just reflects the smaller scale of the attacks in Canada, but full credit to Canadians for getting past the knee-jerk phase of their response to terrorism. Nevertheless, their parliament still passed the bill. So should we chalk all this up as two more victories for the ter-rorists, with an honourable mention for the Canadian public?
No, not really. Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and all the other jihadis don’t give a damn if Western democracies mutilate their own freedoms, as it doesn’t significantly restrict their own operations. The only real winners are the security forces.

Letters to the editorCity/river’s CrossingIn response to Mr. Pearce’s letter to the
editor in the Townsman on Monday May 11 (City/River’s Crossing), I need to make two points. First — River’s Crossing (the former Shadow Mountain development) is in the City’s boundaries and has been since 2007 following approval by the Prov-
ince. The second point is that Westpoint
Capital which owns River’s Crossing is in-vesting the $2.5 million dollars into the development’s sewer system not the tax-payers of the City of Cranbrook. Under both provincial legislation and City bylaws the development is required to have an adequate way to dispose of their sewage
and connecting to the City’s system will meet those requirements.
The $500,000 River’s Crossing is invest-ing in marketing their development will also promote Cranbrook and the sur-rounding area which will be very positive.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, MAY 12, 2015
A lbertans have always laughed about their long-standing reputation as a reckless, immature society.
The classic bumper sticker, now avail-able as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several variations, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.”
Now they’ve thrown out the government that finally tried to stop blowing money like a roughneck fresh out of the bush. Jim Prentice had the gall to propose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax.
In response, voters have abruptly re-placed the 44-year Progressive Conserva-tive dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corporations even more. Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural deficit in Alber-ta’s lavish public service, NDP pre-mier-elect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another “review” of resource royalties.
One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.”
In the sober days after the election, a few truths emerge. Alberta hasn’t been a fiscally conservative, small-government
place for a long time. Among other things, it has ratcheted up teacher and nurse wages across the country.
Alberta is broke, again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax.
The minimum wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federa-tions, which somehow re-main convinced that pover-ty can be eliminated by state order.
On the positive side, Notley has promised to end corporate and union dona-tions to political parties, as has already been done fed-
erally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy train of business donations is too tempt-ing for our nominally Liberal government.
Here at the B.C. legislature, an NDP staffer passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate. NDP leader John Horgan pro-nounced himself “ecstatic,” and hastened to assure reporters that Notley is “as com-petent as she sounds.”
Notley now has to sort through a cau-cus that includes typical NDP place-hold-ers, college students and union staff run-ning in faint-hope constituencies. Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biogra-phies, as Notley began phoning energy companies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her watch.
Horgan likes to describe the “capital flight” from new NDP governments as if
it’s just a show put on by big business. Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged, accord-ing to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP policies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes.
Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.”
B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on wind-mills and solar panels.
Notley supports twinning the Trans-Mountain pipeline, while Horgan contin-ues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably op-posed.
The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a like-minded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.

ANNUALGENERAL MEETING
Right where they left offBandits open American Legion Baseball season with tourney win
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
After claiming the Montana State B Cham-pionship last season, the Cranbrook Bandits picked up right where they left off, claiming tournament victory in Libby, Mont., this past weekend.
The Bandits went 3-0 with three resounding victories to start their American Legion Base-ball season.
Cranbrook’s boys of summer opened the campaign with a 14-2 victory over Noxon, be-fore clobbering Missou-la by a final margin of 9-2. In the final game of the weekend, the Ban-dits cruised to an 11-1 win over the Kootenai Valley Rangers.
“It was great to start, not from square one, but pretty much where we left off and start with three wins,” said Paul Mrazek, Bandits head coach, Monday morn-ing. “I haven’t seen that before with the Bandits in my eight years. I’m into my ninth season now.
“This is the first year the team has gone down [to Libby], swept and won three [games]. Last year, eight wins in a row was a record for the Bandits and we’re start-ing off the same [this season].”
Saturday morning against Noxon, the Ban-
dits sent rookie right-hander Shayne Walker to the mound.
The Creston native responded with four in-nings of stellar pitching, striking out seven bat-ters, while allowing three hits and walking two others. Walker, 14, threw 87 pitches and registered a 0.00 ERA and 1.250 WHIP to claim the win in his first outing.
Walker (1-0) got all the run support he needed, with the Ban-dits jumping out to a 7-0 lead before Noxon found a way on to the scoreboard.
Steven Palmer was shackled with the loss for Noxon, striking out three while allowing four hits and issuing nine walks.
Catcher Brandon Ouilette knocked in four runs to lead the Bandits offense, while both Noxon runs came on fielding errors.
“[Walker] has some good basic mechanics,” Mrazek said of his rook-ie pitcher. “He’s got good velocity. He’s only 14 years old and he’s a big kid. He wants to be on the mound and he wants the ball. He’s only
going to get better.“He’s a great addition
to the team.”Playing a dou-
ble-header Saturday, the Bandits took on Mis-soula in the afternoon outing.
Another quick start fuelled the Bandits vic-tory as the Cranbrook squad grabbed a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
Right-hander Devon Marra (1-0) took to the mound. Through six in-nings of work, Marra fanned 13 batters en route to the win.
Carter Baughman started the game for Missoula, taking the loss after only one inning of work.
Marra and second baseman Noah Renette each chipped in two RBIs for Cranbrook.
Playing their final game of the weekend Sunday morning, the Bandits went three-for-three in jumping out to quick leads, amassing a 10-1 advantage after the top of the third inning, en route to defeating the Kootenai Valley Rangers 11-1.
“I want [our players] to have the same ap-proach and the same intensity for every single inning out there, offen-sively and defensively,” Mrazek said. “I don’t want anything to change. I want them to stay focused every pitch and every inning.
“Our approach as a team doesn’t change. I don’t want them sitting back on their heels thinking, ‘We’ve got a three-run lead, every-thing’s fine.’”
Right-hander Con-nor Armstrong earned the victory against the Rangers, going three in-nings with one earned run and one hit. Arm-strong (1-0) walked two and struck out two oth-ers before giving way to left-hander Tyler Thorn.
For Kootenai Valley,
Garret McNeil was tagged with the loss as he was knocked around for eight earned runs in three innings of work.
Brendan Bird, Marra and Cedar Kemp took care of the bulk of the offense for the Bandits, with each knocking in two runs.
“We put the ball in play a lot and we had a lot of extra base hits,” Mrazek said of his of-fense. “We ran the bases well.
“The kids are really
implementing [the small ball] well and get-ting used to our sense of strategy.”
Bird knocked three doubles over the week-end.
Next up, the Bandits head to Kalispell, Mont., for a trio of games be-ginning Friday, May 15. Cranbrook opens the weekend against Ed-monton, before facing Calgary ‘A’ Saturday morning.
Heading into the sec-ond weekend of the sea-
son, Bird leads the team with a .727 on-base per-centage (OBP). After three games, the infield-er has registered a bat-ting line of .500/.727/1.000.
Each of Armstrong, Marra and Walker carry 1-0 records on the mound into the Bandits’ Kalispell trip.
The Bandits home-opener at Con-federation Park in Cran-brook is slated for Satur-day, May 23 against the Kootenai Valley Rangers.

Ice defensive prospect has committed his ser-vices to the BCHL.
Andy Stevens, a 2013 WHL Bantam Draft se-lection of the Ice (fifth round, 98th overall), has committed to the Powell River Kings of the BCHL.
The Powell River Kings made the an-nouncement via press release Sunday.
“We’re moving ahead without [Stevens] and wish him nothing but the best in Powell River,” said Jeff Chynoweth, Kootenay Ice president and general manager, Monday afternoon.
“He’s going to stay on our list. Hopefully down the road he looks at it
and wants to move up another level. That will be up to him as his ca-reer moves along.”
The news on Stevens comes less than a week after Chynoweth and the Ice discovered defence-man Griffin Mendel, the team’s 2014 first-round pick (14th overall), had committed to the BCHL’s Penticton Vees for the 2015-16 season.
Stevens, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound blue-liner, spent the 2014-15 sea-son playing for the Campbell River Storm of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL). He posted two goals and 17 points in 40 regular-season games while helping his club to three Junior ‘B’ titles --
the VIJHL champion-ship, Cyclone Taylor Cup (B.C. Junior ‘B’ Pro-vincial championship) and Keystone Cup (Western Canada Junior ‘B’ championship).
“When I was an AP last season, I found out first hand that Powell River was such a first-class organization with a great coaching staff and a great group of guys in the room,” Stevens said in a Kings’ press release. “It seems like a great place to live and a good place for me to develop.
“Junior ‘A’ is a faster game. I felt I did well as an affiliate last season, but I need to work on getting faster and more powerful.”
Stevens, a native of
Campbell River, found his way into eight regu-lar season games and four playoff contests with Powell River during the 2014-15 season.
“Andy is a high-end defenceman who gar-nered a lot of WHL and BCHL interest,” said Kent Lewis, Powell River head coach and general man-
ager, in a team press re-lease. “Even at 16 with us last season in the regular season and playoffs, he showed a lot of maturity with the puck and his play away from it. He was a good kid to have in the room down the stretch and we’re happy to add him to the roster perma-nently this season.”
The Powell River Kings finished the 2014-15 BCHL campaign third in the Island Divi-sion with a record of 27-
21-1-9 before falling in the second round of the post-season to the Nanaimo Clippers in a seven-game defeat.

Dear Annie: I’m a little confused about a recent development in my life. I’m a 69-year-old male. My wife died last summer after being in a nursing facility for nearly two years. I recently went on a trip to visit some buddies. On the way, I decided to see a woman who was married to my wife’s cousin. Her husband also died after a long illness. I found that I enjoyed the short time we had together. At the conclusion of the trip with my buddies, she agreed to see me on my way back. The second visit seemed even better than the first. I thought we had a real connection. I’m not sure where to go with this new friendship. I really like her a lot. Should I stay in contact? Do you think I’m just lonely and looking for companionship? I don’t want to simply fill a void. Should I continue with letters and texting, waiting to see whether anything happens, or should I be straightforward and ask how she feels about me? -- Confused Dear Confused: Yes, you should stay in contact, and yes, you should let her know you are interested in spending more time with her. Are you lonely or looking for companionship? Most people are. We might caution you if you were desperately looking into mail-order brides, but that’s not the case. You know this woman. She is already a friend. You enjoy her company, and she seems to enjoy yours. We say go for it. Dear Annie: With graduation season coming upon us soon, I am wondering what to do. I am a high school sports coach. Over the past few summers, I have been invited to multiple graduation parties. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy the parties, and I love my players. I am honored to be invited and to have had a positive impact on their lives. But I can’t afford to give each party honoree a gift. That would add up pretty quickly, and it’s not fair to give one player a gift and not another. Is it rude not to give gifts, or is it better not to attend any parties? -- Coach on a Budget Dear Coach: We have mentioned in the past that the best gift a teacher or coach can give is a letter expressing positive thoughts about the graduate. Write something that indicates personal knowledge of the player’s attributes and strengths, his or her sense of humor, teamwork, compassion, efforts or talent. These letters are cherished and saved for years and are more meaningful than any material gift you could buy. And you also will feel free to attend the parties, which the players will also appreciate. Dear Annie: In your response to “Al,” who found three dusty books inside some ductwork, you told him he could trace the owner without “pouring” over the personal content. Oops! The word should have been “poring.” -- Ken Hooton Dear Ken Hooton: You weren’t the only reader who caught that mistake, which our overworked editors also missed. Thanks for hauling us up short.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper
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.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
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.
Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.
