Just across the street, a brick- layer's now-completed handi- work (pictured) adorns KC Pharmacy's extended store- front, while down the block the Main Street Country Restaurant has opened its doors. Owners Mark and Beverly Philipsen, farmers for 23 years before catch'mg the restaurant bug, called the recent Community Days celebration an "initiation," swamping them during their first days of opera- tion. Open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. (lo p.m. on weekends) for break- fast, lunch, and dinner, the new restaurant also offers espresso, homemade pies and cinnamon rolls, and "specials all the time."

MARK THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR AND THEN ASK YOURSELF THESE Q~ONS • Have you ever worked in Washington? • Have you ever worked around noise? • Do you think you may have suffered Heating Loss due to this noise? Don't read any further if you answered "NO" to the above questions. If you answered "YES" then you need to be aware that YOU and thousands of other workers have paid for programs that were set up as far as the early 20's. Washington State is the only state in the Nation that collects money from YOUR paycheck to cover part of your workers compensations. (THIS STATEMENT WAS MADE IN PRINT BY L & I) WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU???? This means that YOU and thousands of other workers have been paying into a program that will compensate YOU if you suffer from Hearing Loss due to noise on the job. This is like putting money into the bank for "A Rainy Day." Well the "Rainy Day" has come and will be gone on 9-10-04 IF you don't apply for what you may have coming from the program. The state will keep the money that should have been paid to YOU for YOUR Hearing Loss. ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE TO APPLY FOR WHAT MAY BE OWING TO YOU, THE STATE WON'T DO IT FOR YOU. In just a few moments of your time we can calculate what you may have coming from the state for your Hearing Loss. If you have gone to a Retail Hearing Aid store to start a claim and they can't tell you how much compensation you have coming, you may have gone to the wrong place. Retail Hearing Aid stores are in business to sell Hearing Aids not to manage Hearing Loss claims. IF YOU HAVE AN OLD HEARING LOSS CLAIM THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED, WE CAN RE-APPLy FOR ANY ADDITIONAL BENEFITS YOU MAY HAVE COMING. S.L. Napier & Associates, Inc. 800-752.2125
