SUN CLASSIFIEDS SELL Printers and designers learn rip and trap SUBMITTED _ Rip and trap were words of the day for a caravan of Koote- nay printers and graphic design- ers whose destination was Kelowna for a seminar called Input, Output and You. This seminar held at the Capri Hotel was sponsored by Interior Pacif- ic Litho Inc., Scitex, and North- ern Computers and was geared to give guidelines for preparing desktop publishing files for suc- cessful output to film. Dave Chartres, Michelle Chartres, and Tracy Bayley of Hall Printing, Shelley Ackerman of Goldrush Type and Graphics and Debbie Ursulak of Strong & Associates were in attendance of this full afternoon of learning terms like rip and trap. What is a trap anyway? If the printer says your traps are not set properly does it mean a.) the mouse got away; b.) The lobster ate the bait and left; or c.) your colours are not overlapping Properly and are leaving unwanted white~ space in between them? (If you guessed c you must have attended this seminar too!) The printers and designers also took full advantage of a tour of Interior Litho Inc. where some of the latest prepress tech- nology is available for electronic publishing. Their company is the only printer in the B.C. interiot that has a Scitex Dolev PS2 which features excellent regis- tration capabilities therefore giv- ing you clear precise pictures Interior Litho is also home to the Hell Scanner DC 380. Tour host Barrie Mowers assured the group that Hell is a German word ig light, a gated to provide well prepared files or artwork to the printers in order to receive the best quality back. Now I can describe this process better to our clients.” Judging from the large turnout at this seminar, it is likely that more printers and designers will get the opportu- nity to find out the meaning of rip & trap. By the way, rip is not something you do to art- work that does not turn out well.

Until now. The Federal Business Devel- opment Bank has just launched a new resource guide to research db national, regional and provincial ‘surveys on women entrepreneurs and has organized the informa- tion by theme for easy reference The result is a compilation of selected data that indicates trends in female entrepreneurship over the past 15 years and clearly identifies the characteristics of a Canadian female entrepreneur.

The guide organizes the data on women entrepreneurs into seven major Categories: self employment; growth rate; start- up considerations; planning and financing; business characteris- tics; owner characteristics and barners and challenges.

Research shows that between 1975 and 1990, more women have starting businesses, than their male counterparts. Dur- ing this period, the number of self-employed women in Canada increased from 191,000 to 521,000 - representing a whop- ping growth rate of 172 per cent The rate of growth for self- employed men during the same period was 50 per cent The guide also sneds light on many common characteristics amoung women entrepreneurs. For instance, the typical Canadi- an female entrepreneur is between 25 and 44 years of age She is more likely to start a busi- ness for the challenge offered and for the opportunity to be self-full- filment rather than for financial independence. Her chances of success may be above average since She is likely to seek profes- sional advise and plan before launching her business. While the Canadian female entrepreneur is confident in her business skills in the areas of pro- duction, operations and human resources, she is less confident in her ability to manage finance, accounting and marketing activi- ties. The greatest challenge she faces as an entrepreneur are obtaining financing for her busi- ness and balancing work and family responsibilities.

Call The Sun Wednesday, September 30, 1992 The Castlegar Sun Closer than he ever thought he was Dear Ann Landers: I have a special message for that 16- year-old boy who has a "21- year-old problem" -- his brother. My brother drowned three weeks ago, One minute, he was alive and full of fun. The'next minute, he was gone -- forever. I never felt especially close to my brother. We had some pretty good fights and didn't agree on lots of things. But now [realize how much a part of my life he was. Sure, he got on my nerves and I'd tell him to bug off. But now I remember all the favors he did for me that only a brother could do. This letter isn't meant to depress anyone. I guess I'm just trying to wake people up. I want to tell them to think about what their brothers and sisters mean in their lives and to ask them to express their apprecia- tion. I hope they will do it today, because tomorrow may be too late. -- Miss Him a Lot Dear Friend: I'm sure your letter touched millions of broth- ers and sisters and made them think. Thanks for expressing those beautiful sentiments. Dear Ann Landers: I'm a newspaperwoman myself and had to let you know I agree that there is no accounting for the way some children turn out. If ever a kid had a loused-up childhood, my husband did. He never knew his father and was rejected by his mother. She dumped him on her own par- ents so she could run around like a single girl. He was never allowed to call her "mother," because it might blow her swinger image. She came to our wedding but asked us not to reveal her identity. After all, how could she be 48 when her son was 36? In spite of it all, my husband is the best-adjusted person I know. He likes everybody, and everybody likes him. He's great with kids, sympathetic toward older people and warm and lov- ing to me. According to all the psychology books, this man should be a mess. Instead he's a beautiful guy. -- I'm With You Dear With Me: Thanks for an upbeat letter. I strongly suspect your husband's grandparents deserve the credit for bringing him through unscarred. Bless them. Dear Ann Landers: I am incensed about a certain situa- tion and would like to know what you think. My husband and I have been arguing about it for several days. He said if you agree with me he’ will shut up. Last September, we attended the wedding of a fellow my husband used to work’ with. I say “used to,” because the groom dropped dead of a heart anack during the wedding cere- mony. The minister pronounced the couple man and wife as he lay on the chapel floor. The bride claimed she was legally entitled to her husband's estate. His parents said she was not. They took the matter to court. The judge declared the couple was legally married when the man died and there- fore she is entitled to the wid- ow'’s share of the estate. presented, and if the judge ruled the couple husband and wife at the time of his death, she is the legal widow and enti- ted to all the benefits thereto attending. Case closed. Dear Ann Landers: What do you think of my husband, a man in his mid-5Os who's been married for 35 years, owns his own home and has plenty of room to’ entertain, but when we have special guests, he suggests that we all eat at his mother's house or else have her come Ann Landers Syndicated Columnist over here and cook the dinner? He is an only child. When his father died his mother lived with us for the first 17 years of our marriage. She cooked every holiday meal. Any time we had guests, she took over. I was never able to bake him a birth- day cake. His mother always beat me to it. This morning when we were discussing a dinner party for special friends, he suggested having it at his mother's house. I hit the ceiling. When he saw how upset I was he said, "Well then, let's have her come over here and cook the dinner.” I consider it an insult that he would rather have his mother cook for special guests. By the way, I have turned out some excellent gourmet meals on my own. Please tell me what you think of this situation. I admit I'm too close to see it clearly. -- One- Upped By Mama Dear Upped: You are not going to alter the relationship between your husband and “Mama.” She has the umbilical cord wound tightly around his neck and that's where it's going to stay. Since you can't change the relationship, change your think- ing. Tell him, "Fine -- let your mother do the cooking and bak- ing. I'm going to the beauty salon." Then go. Pamper your- self. Get the works. When the guests arrive you'll be fresh as a daisy and the work will be done. If anyone com- ments on the food, by all means, give your mother-in-law credit. Most of the women will envy you. Confidential to In a Very Big Mess But I Meant Well: Take your lumps. Don't look for an escape hatch. Oscar Wilde was right when he said, "It is always with the best of inten- tions that the worst work is done.” Dear Ann Landers: I am writing to you about my prob- lem because I don't have the courage to talk to anyone else Iam 29 years old and have a lovely wife, three beautiful children and a secure job. I am very much in love with my wife's father. My wife and I have been together for nine years. I have been in love with her father for two years. I discovered eight months ago that he has the same feelings for me. , His wife died years ago. He wants a life with me and I love him, but I don't know what to do. Neither of us appears to be gay. We are sure no one has the slightest idea that we feel so deeply for one another. My wife would be very shocked and hurt, but both her father and I feel that our love should not be denied. I don't know what to tell)her or IF I should tell her at all. Please advise me. -- N.N.P. Dear N.N.P.: There was a time when I would have looked for the New Haven postmark on the envelope and muttered a few words about "those Yalies.” But today, I'd believe anything. Get some counseling and urge your father-in-law to do the same. Your therapist will Advise you in regard to sharing this with your wife. Dear Ann Landers: Recent- ly you printed a letter from a tall lady who signed herself "Height of Happiness." She gave several hints on how to, handle being tall. I'd like to add my two cents’ worth. (I'm a guy, by the way.) 1. There IS a change in atti- tude between high school and college. In high school, most boy-girl pairs consisted of a short, bouncy cheerleader and a tall, masculine BMOC -- usual- ly a football jock. 2. Back when ankle-length coats came out, the short girls slumped along like cows. I actually saw one gal fall (her foot got caught in her hem). The tall girls swirled in a grace- ful glide when they walked. 3. At dances when I got stuck with three or four pee- wees in a row, my neck would Start to ache from leaning over (1 am 5 feet 10 inches tall), but one dance with a tall gal and my neck "recovered.~ This is just one fella's view, for what- ever it's worth, Annie. Sign me -- Birdwatching Cat From Con- necticut Dear Bird Watcher: Thanks for meowing in this direction. Many pussycats wrote to com- ment, but you were the only tom. Dear Ann Landers: The let- ter from Mrs. Invisible really got to me. I was Mrs. Invisible, too, until I got smart. My addle-brained husband never used to introduce me to his friends either, and I got sick and tired of reminding him (with a gentle nudge) that I was present. About three months ago, when he forgot for the umpteenth time, I stepped for- ward, put on my biggest smile, extended my hand to the most attractive man in the group, and purred, "Hi, there. My name is Mary Jones. What's yours?" My husband has never failed to introduce me since Longer Ignored Dear N.L.1.: I like your style, lady. Nothing succeeds like success -- No Dear Ann Landers: What is wrong with a man who hits his wife, kicks her or pulls her hair in his sleep? Four times in the past three months, I've been awakened by a fist in the face and a kick in the back. Once he tried to choke me. Last night, he was pulling my hair, shout- ing, "Why did you do that?" When I question him the fol- lowing morning, he seems resentful, as if I have no right to say anything, since he does all this in his sleep. This morning, after receiving a nocturnal black eye, I decided to ask YOU about it. We have two empty bed- rooms now that our children are gone. Should I sleep alone for my own safety? My husband is strong as an ox, and I'm afraid of him. -- A Shiner For My 33rd Wedding Anniversary Dear Shiner: Quit while you're behind and move into the guest room. If the ox walks in his sleep, put a lock on the door. The man could have some deep-seated hostilities that may or may not involve you. Never- theless, you could wind up with a fractured skull. Your husband needs to get some counseling . Dear Ann Landers: That boy who cried when his cat died but couldn't manage a tear for his grandmother upset me Had he KNOWN his grand- mother, maybe he could have cried for her, too. The boy's let- ter pointed out one of the major tragedies of our time -- the breakdown of family life. Everybody is so busy doing his own thing there's no time for excess baggage like grand- Parents. We are the lost genera- tion -- strangers to our children and strangers to THEIR chil- dren. I have searched my soul for answers and can find none. I am available and eager to see my family, and they know it. But my phone doesn't ring.
