They are The Chronicle's ? substance and reason for being. As our paper expands, we expect to receive more community news from new readers. It is our ? goal to use news of this kind that will be ? interesting and important to all our readers. To this ? end. we offer the following guidelines to help you, \ the reader, also be a participant. f 1. Submissions should be newsworthy and ? timely. News is about events that are of some interest I to the general readership. An article about an V event that is in the past is best submitted as soon ; as possible after the event. An article published i June 26 about an event that occurred May 15 isn't ? really "news." 2. Be objective. News is composed of 1 V checkable facts, not opinions. If a submission ; about a luncheon is 70 percent about how J attendees felt or how delicious the food was, it ; will probably be cut by 70 percent. How attendees v felt cannot be checked, and how delicious the food was is a matter of opinion. A specific person, i; however, may be quoted as saying he or she felt ? honored to be there, and that the food was I delicious. ? ? ? ' ?; 3. Write in third person. If an article in the ? paper reads "We won first prize at regionals," the ? reader has no way of knowing to whom "we" I refers. It is better to say "Boy Scout Troop 219 ? won first place at the regionals." Likewise, ; "Everyone is invited" is preferred to "You are I invited." #? 4. Be complete. News pieces should answer five basic questions. Who? What? When? Where? and Why? For instance, the Moose Lodge held a 1 ^ barbecue Saturday at the fairgrounds to benefit the orphans' home. 5. Make it legible. Because many readers may not have access to a computer or typewriter, handwritten submissions are accepted if they are clearly written on standard-size paper. Index cards, church bulletins and newspaper clippings will not be accepted. 6. Leave your number. For a variety of reasons, the staff may have to contact the person who submitted the article. The name, daytime phone number and evening phone number of the person who wrote the article, or another person who knows enough about the event to be helpful, must be included on each submission. 7. Beat the deadline. The community news deadline is Monday at 5 p.m. However, if space demands that something be left out, news that comes in latest is most likely to be omitted. Therefore, sooner is better. All pieces submitted after the deadline will be held over for consideration in the next issue. 8. Remember, it's a newspaper. The Chronicle must adhere to certain rules of journalism. All material is made to conform to those rules as far as possible; therefore, articles will rarely if ever appear exactly as written. If a submission cannot be edited to conform to standards, it will be omitted. Following are some examples of what is not news; ? advertising for a for-profit enterprise ? philosophic or religious opinions ? thank you notes ? personal complaints 9. Be patient. As is evident in corrections that sometimes appear in The Chronicle, the staff is human and makes mistakes. Mistakes are not the result of careless disregard for the facts or mischievous intent. The Chronicle will make every attempt to correct misinformation. i attenoss Questions & Answers on recovering from grief * Questions asked during bereave ment counseling are answered by the editor of Afterloss, the grief recovery letter. Q. When someone you love dies, it seems that you will never be happy again. Is this so? A. There is an adjustment phase to every major change in our lives. The return to a joyful existence can certainly be attained. Some achieve this happiness sooner than others and for a variety of reasons. These include (but are not limited to): (1) a willingness to take the steps required to work through your grief (2) your own personality structure (3) your tenacity and (4) the new opportunities that may subsequent ly emerge. * For a free copy of Afterloss or the Cooper Funeral I lome 9 om t/is d.?s.& ofour I * <^VE(AT5.
