A free, no obligation introductory session will be held on Thursday, January 12 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in the Wellness Resource Center located in the lower level of Heritage Place, 901 Lincoln way. The 1983 Sergeon General’s report on Smoking and Health called Smokeless "a particularly successful" stop smoking program because quit rates are 2 - 3 times the national average. Dr. Don R. Powell, the program’s founder, has presented Smokeless at the national meetings of various organizai tions including the American Medical Association, American Public Health Association, and the American Heart Association. In addition, the program has been featured on numerous television and radio talk shows including "Good Morning America”, and has been written about in a variety of publications. After a free introductory meeting, participants in the Smokeless system attend four consecutive 1-116 hour skill development sessions where they are taught how to prevent cigarette urges from occurring and how to immediately eliminate an urge if one should present itself. These sessions are followed by two 1-1 */» hour maintenance sessions. The smoking habit is viewed from psychological, behavioral and sociological viewpoints. In addition, a proven maintenance program to keep people off cigarettes permanently is included. Research has also shown that the accompanying problem of weight gain and irritability are prevented or reduced through the Smokeless system. LaPorte Hospital is committed to enabling smokers to quit and in this regard offers a guarantee. If any graduate of Smokeless should ever go back to smoking or simply wants to reinforce their nonsmoking behaviour. they can re-attend the program at no additional charge Preregistration is required For more information, contact the LaPirtie Hospital Wellness Resource (.enter at 326-2480. or I 800-6204. eitension

Kenny Millers Retire From Jewelry Store Ken and Marilyn Miller, of Coldwater. Michigan, are officially retiring from Kiess Jewelry Store this week. The couple will turn sole ownership over to Brad Rockey who has been managing the store since 1990. A reception will be held on Sunday, January 15, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Chicago Pike Inn, 213 E. Chicago St.. Coldwater. "This is our home.” Ken said. After 34 yean at Kiess. where they located after leaving Walkerton. Ken is retiring from the business he has been in since 1954 and Marilyn has been a full-time bookkeeper since 1981, when their youngest child was in college. ► Ken began in the jewelry business at the tender age of 14. with a job sweeping the store, washing windows and making deliveries in his home town of Royal Oak, Michigan. After two separate military tours, one at the end of World War 11, the other in Korea, Ken attended the American Academy of Horology in Denver, Colorado. There he learned more about the jewelry business and repair. He began working at a Kiess store in Montpelier, Ohio in 1954 and stayed there until 1957 when he opened his own business in Walkerton and married Marilyn. The couple settled down for a few years, but found their business outgrew the small town Ken learned that Rex T. Kiess was in need of help so they came to Coldwater to help him run the store. Ken became a full partner in 1960 and in 1969 took over the store when Kiess retired. The Millers have three children, but only one chose to follow the family business. The youngest daughter is now a certified gemooigist and appraiser. Their other daughter is a claims analyst for Great Western Insurance and their son is an engineer for the city of San Francisco.
