Fred Liese and his bride Nell make their home at the edge of black Coulee near Turner, Montana. Raised on the Big Flat, Fred finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and his brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

COWBOY POeTRY BY H. FRed Liese

Discipline in bygone yearsHas clearly been definedWhen a child was unruly,

Well, they paddled his behind.

No difference if it’s him or her,Disruption never thrives,

For a child’s bad behaviorWon’t disrupt their parents’ lives.

When language needed reprimand,

A cleansing brought new hope,An unclean mouth was then refreshed

With the miracles of soap.

This didn’t cease a foul mouthbut it aided to defuse it

For now imbedded in their minds,They knew where not to use it.

When behavior’s on the cloudy side,

To unbalance the equation,Even just the stormy threat

Proved the power of persuasion.

While talking on the radio,They say that it’s all wrong.

Opposing spanking discipline,It seems to be their song.

Some countries far across the pondHave rules in their nations

For several of them did enact,Anti spanking legislation.

Their children may do many things

That truly are not pleasin’So with a smile, they take the child

And set them down and reason.

An article, I read todayWas similar in skew

but they professed a spankin’Would reduce a kid’s IQ.

They had conducted research

That gave a different spin,Parents spank the IQ out…

But years ago,… they spanked it in.

Money Talks

DEALING WITH DIVIDENDSIt would seem that the income taxation of dividends ought to be a pretty simple topic. Alas, nothing is simple when it comes to taxes. As you get ready to look at your taxes, here’s a summary of some of the basic rules regarding the taxation of dividends.

For our purposes, we’ll restrict our discussion to dividends paid by tax-paying “C” corporations. Many smaller companies are organized as “S” corporations. An S corporation has all the state law attributes of a regular corporation (limited liability, perpetual life, etc.) but is taxed much like a partnership with earnings and losses flowing through the corporation to the returns of the individual shareholders. We’re also not going to deal with mutual fund dividends.

The “garden variety” dividend that is paid by a corporation is taxable to individuals as a qualified dividend and is taxed at their long-term capital gains rate. An individual pays taxes on the dividends based on the year in which they are received, not in the year on which the dividend is based. A dividend is taxed to the buyer of a stock if the stock is purchased after it is declared but before it is paid if the purchase occurs before the ex-dividend date. Similarly, the dividend is taxed to the seller if the sale occurs after the ex-dividend date but before payment date. This holds true even if the dividend is reflected in the selling price of the stock.

Sometimes a company will make a dividend payment that is in excess of its accumulated earnings and profits. This is probably most common among utility companies. These dividends are deemed to be “return of capital.” Return of capital dividends are not taxable. However, the taxpayer must reduce his/her basis in the stock by the amount of the return of capital dividend. Return of capital dividends in excess of basis are taxed as capital gains.

Some corporations permit dividends to be reinvested in company stock. Generally, these reinvested dividends are taxable to the shareholder. In addition, depending on how the plan is structured, the shareholders may have to pay taxes on the commissions or other transaction costs paid by the corporation in running the plan. The shareholder receives basis in the reinvested shares equal to the amount of the dividends included in income. Note, that from 1982 to 1985 taxpayers were allowed to exclude up to $750 ($1,500 on joint returns) in certain reinvested utility dividends. These reinvested shares have a zero cost basis.

Stock splits and stock dividends are generally not taxable events. Taxpayers merely adjust their basis to spread it among more shares in proportion to the fair market value of old and new shares on the date the stock dividend is distributed. There are a few cases where a dividend paid in stock may be taxable. The most common occurs when the shareholder is given a choice to receive a dividend paid in cash or in stock. A distribution of stock rights, in most cases, is also not a taxable event. The holding period of shares acquired by virtue of a stock split relates back to the original shares. In other words, the holding period of the old shares is “tacked on” to the holding period of the new shares.

Laugh Lines

MORE IDIOT SIGHTINGSMy daughter went to a local taco shop and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for minimal lettuce. He

said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.***

The stoplight on a particular corner buzzes when it’s safe to cross the street. I was crossing there with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the

light is red. Appalled, she responded, “What on earth are blind people doing driving?!”She was a probation officer in Kansas.

***

When I left Hawaii and was transferred to Florida, I still had the Hawaiian plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii. I was parking somewhere and a guy asked me, “Wow, you drove from Hawaii to here?” I looked at him and quickly

said, “Yep. I took the Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge.” He nodded his head and said, “Cool!”

CHILDREN IN CHURCHA little boy was in a relative’s wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop and turn to the crowd.

While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, “I was being the Ring Bear.”

***One Sunday in a Midwest city, a young child was “acting up” during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to

maintain some sense of order in the pew, but were losing the battle.Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out.

Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, “Pray for me! Pray for me!”***

One particular four-year-old prayed, “And forgive us our trash baskets, as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.”***

A little boy was overheard praying: “Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don’t worry about it. I’m having a real good time like I am.”

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As we get closer to the transmittal deadline at the state legislature, when all the bills that originated in the House pass over to the Senate and vice verse, we are hearing and voting on more and more bills each day in committees and on the House floor.

Here’s just a quick update of a few interesting bills that we’ve considered lately.

Ban on human reproductive cloning (HB 288). We passed it in Judiciary Committee, and then it passed on the House floor 93/7.

Revise Post Adoptive Services Law (HB 367) passed the House 96/4. If enacted, this law will allow private adoption agencies to also provide post-adoptive counseling and support to birth mothers who have relinquished their children for adoption (no cost to the state).

Montana Firearms Freedom Act – Exempt Montana Made Firearms and Ammunition from Commerce Clause (HB 246). This states that a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Montana and that remains within the borders of Montana is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce. Passed second reading on the House floor 64/36 and is awaiting third reading before moving on to the

Senate – hopefully!

Authorize Archery Season for Mountain Lion, Bear, and Wolf (HB 74) passed unanimously. This act would grant the Fish, Wildlife & Parks Commission the discretion to set up areas and seasons for archery hunting mountain lion, bear, and wolf in archery hunting seasons. Passed the House unanimously.

Authorize Reciprocal Fishing with Adjoining States on Contiguous Rivers & Streams (HB 366). If this bill becomes law, any person who is properly licensed to fish in a state that borders Montana may fish in any part of a

lake, reservoir, pond, river, stream, or body of water in Montana within 10 miles of the border, if the bordering state grants the same or similar privileges to holders of valid Montana fishing licenses and enters into a reciprocal agreement with Montana. Passed 92/7.

Authorize investor owned livestock slaughter and processing plants (HB 418). This bill will pave the way for a horse processing plant to open in Montana – contributing to the economy and improving the horse market while also providing a humane place for people to take old, injured, or dangerous horses. I am a co-sponsor. The hearing for this bill brought the most people I have yet seen come to Helena to testify. Dozens of proponents came from all over the state to support this bill, with only a handful opposing it. I will let you know if it makes it out of the Agriculture Committee.

I’m pleased to report that my House Joint Resolution 14, supporting the Interior Department in their recent decision to match gun regulations in national parks with the gun laws of the state they are in, passed out of the Judiciary Committee and will soon be heard on the House floor.

For more information on any bill, visit www.leg.mt.gov. To contact me, e-mail [email protected] or call 262-3185. I work for YOU – for Montana’s future!

WENDYAs you know, our very own Wendy Warburton is serving in Helena this Legislative Session representing the people of House District 34. During her hiatus from ‘Tricia’s Trader’, she has graciously agreed to send us updates of the happenings in the capitol of this great state.

Ear problems in dogs seem to be quite common and very uncomfortable for them. Head shaking, rubbing ears, odor, discharge from the ears, pain around the ears, changes in the dog’s behavior can all be symp-toms stemming from ear dis-ease. The medical name for inflam-mation of the outer ear canal is “otitis externa” and approxi-mately 20% of the dog popula-tion is affected by this. When we see a dog with ear disease there is a possibility of any of the following or combination of:

*Allergies – Dogs with allergies to food or something inhaled or touched on the skin can cause bacteria or yeast infection. We can treat the infection but if we don’t get to the root of the prob-lem, i.e. change the dog’s diet, then ear problems will persist.

*Parasites – Some dogs are hypersensitive to ear mites that are a common problem for cats.

*Foreign bodies – Plant awns can enter the ear canal causing trauma.

*Hormonal abnor-mality – deficiencies or excesses of various hormones can result

in skin and ear problems.

*Excess moisture – bacteria and yeast could not ask for a better environment to live in than a warm, dark, moist ear canal. Dogs with long floppy ears may have trouble with ex-cess moisture.

*Heredity – can be a reason for ear disease too.

Regardless of the cause of the ear disease, we must get the ear canal clean and the key to healthy ears is to keep them clean. Excess hair around the ear can be clipped or pulled to allow more air flow. Feeding your dog a high quality food with meat (not meat by prod-ucts) as the first ingredient can make a difference as many dogs are allergic to corn and wheat. Do not delay in taking your dog to a veterinarian if your dog is showing severe discomfort, the ears have a bad smell or the ear looks abnormal. Treatment is necessary.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: by Dorothy Johnson

“NEWELL’S” LEGACY:LIVING FOR TODAY

WHEN I was asked to write an article about PPND – Pallido-Ponto-Nigral Degeneration, I wondered how I could possibly contribute anything on a subject that seemed to require some higher level of intelligence than I seem to possess. Scientific terminology gets me thoroughly confused most of the time, but I thought I would try to write something if it will in any way help bring awareness of this horrible disease to more people. I first became aware of PPND, a genetic defect also referred to in this part of the country as “Newell’s Syndrome” and the toll it takes on the afflicted, their families and the community when my daughter, Linda, got married and became a resident of the Turner, Montana community. It was then I became acquainted with several Newell descendants who live at or near the border town in northern Blaine County. The Fouts, the Wolerys, and the Petries are all close neighbors of my daughter’s family. Many attend the same church, their children go to the same school and several are members of the same civic organizations. Nothing is so dev-astating as to watch close friends have to deal with a tragedy such as this. The genetic defect is so powerful that all of those who have the gene will get sick, usually in their early 40’s. Victims lose their emotions, thoughts and muscle control over a span of about eight years, then die of an infec-tion.

Deadly Beginnings Like many pioneers of the early 20th century, Chester Fred “Chet” Newell and his wife Erma migrated to the town of Tuner, Montana from Unionville, Missouri where his grandmother, Sarah Bott Newell, is bur-ied. They came to begin a new life on the wide open prairie and, unwit-tingly, Chester Newell carried the dreaded gene with him. In the years since, several of his descendants have succumbed to the disease after years of suffering - the most recent in the Turner area have been Jennilee Fouts in 2007 and Mary Ann Wolery in 2008. Several others have been afflicted with the disease across North Central Montana over the years. Children of PPND victims each have a 50/50 chance of also carrying the mutated gene. If an individual is “lucky” enough to live into their mid-50s, they are PPND-free and their children will not carry the gene either. One of the unfortunate and early characteristics of PPND is a drastic change in personality. Chester Fred Newell, when he first began to show symptoms, left his Turner home and family, started a second family


at Dodson, Montana, and a then third family in Billings before he was admitted to a nursing home there. The child in Dodson, Clarence Adams, inherited the defective gene and, of his six children, four died of the disease. The other two children died at a young age in a car wreck. Chester Fred Newell’s daughter in Bill-ings, however, escaped the deadly disease and lived on into her 60s. The next generation “in waiting” in-cludes many individuals from this area who are hoping and praying for a breakthrough be-fore they reach the critical age. Whether any, all, or some of these people have the tainted gene isn’t readily known; a few of them have been tested for the gene, but some have chosen not to be told the results. Those who wished to know and have been told they have the gene receive counseling to help cope with the news.

One descendant, Rikki Adams Bosh, said she had initially been told she didn’t have the mutated gene, but later found out that there had been a glitch in the testing and she, in fact, does have the mutated gene. She told me that her faith is strong and she’s taking each day as it comes. Hopefully, a treatment or a cure will be discovered in the next few years, as a majority of the next generation are already in their 30s.

A Hopeful Discovery For over a century, this mysterious crippling disease has plagued several individuals and it wasn’t until 1987 when Ron Titler, who, it was later discovered, was a distant relative of the Turner families, walked into the office of Dr. Zbigniew K. Wszolek (pronounced Zō-lek) in Omaha, Nebraska. Dr. Wszolek, a neurologist originally from Poland who came to the United States in 1981 as a refugee, was doing his residency a sec-ond time to become certified in this country. Tony Leys, in a three part series he wrote for THE DES MOINES REGISTER entitled, “Deadly Heritage”, (August 19, 20, 21, 2001) writes, “Ron Titler was falling apart at age 43. He walked with the halting steps of a man twice his age, and he spoke with the muffled voice of a drunk. His right arm drooped in his lap.” He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but none of the medications he was taking seemed to have any effect on his condition. When Dr. Wszolek was told that three of the patient’s close relatives had died from a disease with the same symptoms, he began his quest to find

“Chet” Newell (Chester “Chet” Fred Newell’s son) of Turner, MT. “Chet” died from PPND in 1969, leaving be-hind wife, Mary, and children Chet, Betty Ann, Mary Ann and stepdaugh-ter Lela.


a hereditary link. The journey led him to one individual, Sarah Bott, born in Iowa in 1854. Dr Wszolek, after years of genealogical research, concluded that it was she who first carried the broken gene and unknow-ingly passed it on to her descendants. She died at the age of 30 during surgery, so she never suffered from the disease herself, but four of her five children died from it. Dr. Wszolek compiled an 11 foot family tree and traced descendants, making notes of the progression of the disease for each member affected. Sarah Bott Newell, who is buried in Putnam County Missouri, has over 300 descendants in at least 11 states and at least 48 of them have succumbed to PPND; a still unknown number may carry the defective gene. There are two non-related families who also have PPND – one in Japan and the other in France. Another mys-tery?

The Science of It All PPND is a crippling neurological disease which kills crucial brain nerve cells. Research has found that a flawed gene on the 17th chromo-some is responsible for PPND. According to an article entitled, “Lethal Legacy,” by Amie Thompson in the 2009 summer edition of ‘Healthy Montana’, a special publication of the Great Falls Tribune, “A protein, called tau, normally attaches itself to tiny tubes, called microtubules, running through nerve cells. Experts liken its supporting function to the role of wooden ties under railroad tracks. The cells use the tubes to move nutrients and other important materials to where they are needed.” The article then goes on to say, “When victims of the disease approach middle age, they lose the ability to make tau properly. The tubes become unsupported and weak, and the loose proteins gather in clumps. Eventu-ally the cells die and the brain is crippled. Researchers hope to delay or halt the onset of the disease by replacing the faulty protein with another material. Dr. John Trojanowski, a University of Pennsylvania researcher, likens the clumps to rocks on the railroad tracks. ‘We think we can keep the tracks parallel. Maybe if the train can go fast enough, it can just bust up the rocks.’” It’s an inherited illness, passed on from generation to generation. Dr. Gary Parsons, a chiropractor from Newton, Iowa sent me a copy of Tony Leys’ article “Deadly Heritage”, which tells how PPND has ravaged families in Iowa and Missouri. Dr. Parsons went to school in Unionville, Missouri and he had classmates and schoolmates who have fallen victim to PPND. Besides chronicling the effects the disease had on several of Sarah Bott’s descendants in the Des Moines area, Mr. Leys posed three particularly haunting questions - “If faced with a deadly genetic ailment, would you be tested? Would you have children if their chances of being born with it were extremely high? Would your insur-ance company deny you coverage?” Tough ones to answer. Although today’s legislation prevents insurance companies from denying coverage due to genetic history, the other two questions still remain.

Descendants Speak Dr. Parsons put me in contact with Jennifer Newell Parsons of Des Moines, one of Sarah Bott Newell’s great granddaughters and she e-mailed me the following, “My father was Edgar Newell (son of Zach-ary Newell from Unionville, Missouri. He and his three sisters (Edith Thompson, Grace Bloodsoe, and Wava Hill) had PPND; his only broth-er, Oscar, did not. At the time, it was thought that they had Parkinson’s

George “Buck” Petrie, his wife Beth in attendance at the baptism of Chet Wolery. At right are Chet’s parents Mary Ann and Loren Wolery of Turner. Both “Buck” and Mary Ann died from PPND. Beth now lives in Chinook. Loren still resides in Turner. Mary Ann Wolery (center) sits with her son Chet, husband Loren and daughter Bren-

da just a year before Mary Ann’s death in September of 2008. Mary Ann’s family and others cared for her in her home until just days before she died at the medical center in Chester. Chet is married to Leesha Wolery from Harlem and has one daughter, Wrien. They are expecting a second child in November. Brenda is married to Chris Maloney from Turner and they have a daughter, Laci, and a son, Carson. All of Loren’s children and possibly grandchldren are at risk of being affected by PPND.

This photo taken by Mary Ann Wolery emphasizes there truly are moments to live for every day.

The gene mutation which causes the disease Pallido-Ponto-Nigral Degeneration (PPND or “Newell’s Syndrome”) originally occurred with Sarah Bott Newell, but she died before suffering its effects. The actual cause of the symptoms and subsequent deaths in this family remained unknown for many generations and was believed at the time to be Parkinson’s.

For abbreviation, we have listed mostly the family lineage of Chester Fred Newell, which pertains mostly to our reading area here in Montana. Many, many other family members exist, now, numbering well over 300 people across the nation.

and we were told not to worry, it tended to run in families but was not hereditary. My mother lost her husband and five of her eight children to that non-hereditary disease. My diseased siblings left twelve “at-risk” children. Of those twelve, six have been tested and two have the PPND gene. PPND will soon start rearing its ugly head in that generation, causing more untold devastation and sadness. The only alternative to research for ending the disease would be for those at-risk people to not have chil-dren and that would end the family blood lines. I was very angry with Sarah Bott when I learned the disease began with her. I stayed angry at her until I saw the picture of her in the article you sent me. I then realized she was just a pretty, young woman who had no idea what she had started. That pic-ture now hangs on my dining room wall. We are so thankful to Dr. Wszolek for all of the energy he has put into researching PPND. My sister, Rose-mary Henning, was the patient at Iowa City that expanded his study group so greatly. I have always felt that the more people who know about PPND helps increase the chance of a new discovery that may lead to a cure.” Jennifer does not carry the dreaded gene. I had sent a copy of Amie Thompson’s arti-cle, “Lethal Legacy” to Jennifer and she forwarded it on to her brother-in-law, Lee Morris, in Sedalia, MO. He was married to Jennifer’s sister, Dorothy, who died from PPND. He commented: “I read the article, which was very well written, and wanted to escape the lump in my throat. I learned a great deal about PPND from this article--much more than I had ever known. I did not know Sarah Bott was buried in Unionville for one thing. Also, the actual working of the disease against the brain was described in layman’s language. In Dorothy’s case, she started showing symp-toms in 1980 when she was 41. She lived 11 more years with this terrible disease wrecking havoc on her. Her choice to be fed through the stomach when she could no longer chew or swallow pro-longed her suffering many years. I regret that I asked her orally about tube feeding as she respond-ed a “yes” with hand pressure on my finger several times.” And, Brenda Wolery Maloney of Turner whose mother passed away last year, writes: “This disease has taken quite a toll on our family over the years. It has been devastating to watch the gen-erations before us slip away, knowing there isn’t anything we can do to stop its progression. I pray every day for a cure and that future generations won’t have to experience the loss of loved ones from

PPND DONATION DRIVE November 1 - December 31, 2009

All of the profits from the sponsorships on these pages will go to funding research for PPND.

We urge you between November 1st and December 31st

to take part in the PPND Donation Drive.

* * * * *

If you wish to help this family’s quest to find a cure, Marla Phil-lips, the spouse of a deceased family member, has set up a non-profit research fund. The money in this fund is used to cover research trips to the Mayo Clinics in Rochester, Minnesota and Jacksonville, Florida. You may send your contribution on behalf of someone you know af-fected by PPND.

Send charitable gifts to:

PPND Research Accountc/o Marla PhillipsP.O. Box 11596Glendale, AZ 85318

or you may send your contribution to the research center in Great Falls, Montana. Donations to this organization will aid in research of ALL neurological disorders, though it will not be specified solely for PPND research. The scientists there focus on neuroscience research with programs in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, prion diseases (mad cow disease, chronic wasting disease and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease), diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, hearing loss, and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, they have a strong education program where Montana’s finest students and teachers work on research projects under the direc-tion of McLaughlin scientists, one of which is being conducted by Mi-randa Orr, originally of Saco, Montana and her mentor, Dr. George Carlson.

PPND. We truly appreciate all of the support every-one has shown to our family. It is through that sup-port that a cure may one day be found.” The Quest for a Cure Having sat by the bedsides of my dad, my 21 year-old daughter, and my husband and watched as cancer took their lives, my heart goes out to all the families affected by PPND. Cancer is a dreadful dis-ease, but there have been tremendous advances in the detection and treatment of the disease in recent years. My 16 year-old grandson is doing well after his battle with it in 2008, and for that we’re all so very thankful. Every family has battles with some devastating illness or other, whether it be Huntington’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, Cancer, Epilepsy, Diabetes – there are many condi-tions which can try the strength and courage of the patient and the family. But I think PPND has got to be about the worst because research is relatively new. Amie Thompson writes in “Lethal Legacy,” “Wszolek struggled to find anyone to help him. He called major universities, but nobody wanted to spend the time or money on such a small family. Fi-nally he found doctors in the Netherlands and Can-ada who could perform high-tech tests on patients’ chromosomes and brains. Wszolek kept researching, even after leaving the Midwest for a job at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. In 1998, a Univer-

Kali Peterson, Rikki (Adams) Bosh (Kali’s mother), Linda (Kieneberger) and Loren Wol-ery, Laci Maloney, Carson Maloney, Brenda (Wolery) Maloney, and Chet Wolery at the ceremony uniting Linda and Loren on October 10, 2009. The couple has a common bond, since each have family members facing PPND. Linda’s daughter Rikki has been tested positive for the gene, and her father, Mike Adams from Malta, died from it in 2000. Loren lost his wife Mary Ann to the disease in 2008. PPND has torn apart many families, but in an unexpected way, it has also brought some together. Over the years, a small number of PPND widows have married following their losses.


Thank you for helping to raise awarenessand for supporting the effort to find a cure.

In memory of our loved ones who have suffered from PPND, and praying for a cure for future generations.

When we work together,there is hope.

Loren and Linda Wolery

sity Pennsylvania researcher isolated the cursed gene.” Quoting from “Lethal Legacy,” “Dr. Zbigniew K. Wszolek’s research is being funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. NINDS is a nonprofit organization that also aids in research of more common diseases such as Parkinson’s, autism, and epilepsy.” There is a somewhat parallel search for a cure in two other diseases - Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s - that could possibly lead to breakthroughs affecting all three genetic disorders. Scien-tists at the McLaughlin Research Institute in Great Falls, Montana have been on a quest to develop a method for testing new drug combinations in genetically altered mice along with using stem cell research. These mice have been genetically developed to produce the human tau protein. The same tau protein that is causing problems in PPND patients causes similar problems in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients, as well as those with some other neurological diseases. Miranda Yeska Orr, originally from Saco, Montana, and her mentor, Dr. George Carlson, are focusing their efforts on the concept that a drug could be developed that will bust up the tau protein tangles. In theory, such a development could delay or prevent the onset of diseases like PPND, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But research costs money. I know there are many places to put your money, but I’m asking for each of you who read this to help with as many dollars as you are able. Think of it as adding a name to your Christmas list or a “Just Because” list. While you’re doing that, please add the victims

of PPND and their families to your prayers. They are forced to “live for today” in a way that only those fam-ily members can truly comprehend. We would all be well served to live with a similar mindset, but to offer hope for them in any way we can. I’ll start off with a pledge of $50 to the research fund. I’m counting my blessings and I hope you will too.Chet Wolery, his daughet Wrien and wife Leesha reside

in Chester. Chet’s mother, Mary Ann, succumbed to PPND in 2008, leaving both Chet and his daughter Wrien possibly at risk as well.

Jennilee Fouts, Brenda Maloney and Penny Fitz-patrick gather round to greet Brenda’s newborn daughter Laci in 2003. Jennilee died from the disease in 2007, and Penny is currently battling it in a Malta nursing home.

FROM THE MARKETING TOOLBOX:by Tricia Kimmel

Is Your Business Being Punished? We’re hearing from some co-op businesses and smallbranch companies who answer to corporate headquarters thatthey are being “capped” in regards to their advertising budgets.And they are frustrated because their business is doing rather well.There are some businesses whose entire advertising authority isdecided by some “invisible” power on-high. And often thosecorporate leaders make decisions for all their daughter companiesbased on the success of the corporation across the nation.Unfortunately, if your branch of the company is doing well, thiscan have a major effect on your plans to promote your sectionof the business to your section of the world.There usually isn’tany way around it, unless you are legally able to advertise yourcompany without the head company’s advertising dollars, inwhich case you would be well advised to do some with your owndollars. I’ve often said that Montanans fare better in a recessiveeconomy than many places because Montana is always in arecession.And while I say that with tongue in cheek, in someways it is true. Successful Montana business owners often arevery well accustomed to operating on a bare bones budget withthin margins. And while there is a plethora of advantages to

living in this great state anddoing business here, the factremains, we just don’t have thepopulation base to always apply“corporate America” principlesto our business strategies. Asa result, many large companies

are suffering, while their branchesin Montana’s smaller towns are actually thriving.When cookiecutter methods are applied in these cases, and advertising budgetsare skimmed or shut off completely, it can mean bad news for theoperator of the smaller daughter companies. So what, as a business manager, can you do if youfind yourself in this predicament?First off, keep in mind that“marketing” does not always mean “advertising”. It may seemstrange as the owner of a publication based mainly on advertisingthat I would say that. And yes, I am a big advocate of printadvertising done the right way. But there is more than oneway to bring customers to your door, and advertising should beonly one piece of that pie in any marketing plan.If you haven’treviewed your Marketing Action Plan (MAP) lately, now may bejust the time to do so. Look at the areas where you have flexibility withinyour budget.Do you have room in your printing and postageline items?It may be time to design a mailpiece.Direct mailadvertising, while it sometimes gets a bad rap, get be extremelyeffective if it’s thought out and well prepared.I’m not a big fanof doing mass random mailings unless you have no idea whoyour target market is. But a well-designed piece directed tothe correct prospect can easily turn that prospect into a buyingcustomer. And let’s not forget that ever important asset you alreadyhave (I assume) - your current customer base. Those peoplealready do business with you.If they do some business with you,for the right incentive, they will be happy to do more.Createsomething of value for them to get them back in the door. And guess what? A happy customer also tells his/herfriends. That’s about the cheapest advertising you’re going tofind.There are endless options when it comes to truly marketingyour business. Any marketing plan that weighs solely onadvertising is missing out on a large piece of the marketing pie.If you have trouble making it happen, find someone who canhelp.No matter what, it’s definitely time to get creative and getreal with your marketing.
