FURNACE We have created a renewable fuel revolution! TheRevolution furnace is designed to burn pellets, corn, wheat or rye.It has a revolutionary, patent-pending burnpot and a dual hopperignition system. There are four individual programs for multi-fueluse and the Revolution can be used for supplemental heat or as astand-alone heater. We do not recommend the Revolution as a sole source of heat.

Nothing feels warmer and cozier than this multi-fuel furnace whichputs out 60,000 BTU and has a 1,000 CFM blower. The Revolutionvirtually runs itself. It is self-cleaning and self-igniting. Pellets areused for lighting the furnace, it then switches to the chosen fuel inthe main hopper. The Revolution pot self-cleans every two hours

without the unit ever shutting down.

When Terri Fullerton sought a ca-reer in health care, her decision wasfueled mostly out of an essential de-sire to help people.

The ability tosupport, comfortand facilitate re-lief of some of themost challenginghealth problemslead her to elds

such criticalcare, urgent care,emergency care,cardiac care andnow oncology.

Terri’s career in health care start-ed as a registered nurse. The rst years were spent working in criti-cal care, urgent care and emergency nursing. Mid career, she took onone of the most challenging roles asa supervisor of the hospital on week-ends when no other administratorsor supervisors were present. Shefound that this challenge left her very skilled, but Terri missed direct pa-tient relationships.

Additionally, Terri felt the needto expand her role as a nurse. Thisled her to work toward the advanceddegrees necessary to become a NursePractitioner. As a nurse practitioner,Terri feels she has a greater impacton her patients’ health as she has the

cently awarded the rst Arthur Wunsch consumeradvocacy award by the Newaygo County MentalHealth Board of Directors. He was nominated forhis years of service to Newaygo County MentalHealth and to persons who have mental illness and/or developmental disabilities.

with and for persons who believe in the importanceof treating the body and the mind together. I hope towork with you for many years to come,” he stated.

Dr. Gunnell has worked with NCMH providingpsychiatric medications and coordinating treat-ment with a variety of mental health clinicians for30 years, plus. He was lauded by members of theboard who have years of rst-hand knowledge of his

skill and dedication. NCMH is looking forward tomany years to come working in collaboration withDr. Gunnell in mental health services and new en-deavors and opportunities to serve the community in the future.

“Dr. Gunnell started working part-time atNCMH in the late 70s when the center was with-out a psychiatrist. Even though several psychiatristshave come and gone, Dr. Gunnell’s valuable serviceshave been retained all this time,” says Greg Snyder,Executive Director of NCMH.

The integration of physical and mental health is

a high priority throughout the United States. NCMHis clearly a leader in this area. With the expansionplanned at the facility, medical services will soon beavailable for those who utilize our services but donot have a primary care physician.

ability to create a closer working relationship with them. “Inthis role, I can partner with my patients. Helping people to helpthemselves is the basis of my practice,” said Terri.

In her years of service, Terri has found that health care haschanged in many ways. She notes that health care has primarily changed in the area of decision making. People are working to-gether with their providers to nd the best treatment available

to that individual. “What I enjoy most about patient care is theability to help open doors, offer options, reassurance and assistin increasing an individual’s wellbeing no matter where they arein the continuum of health.”

Terri’s goals in serving the patients at the United HospitalCancer Center are many. She sees kindness as being essential,along with the highest quality, most efcient and effective carepossible to meet a patient’s individual needs. Most importantly,she seeks to work along with my new neighbors, and friends toassist in making a sometimes very difcult road much easier ina host of different ways.

Personally, Terri and her husband are building a home onacreage between Greenville and Rockford. They have been for-tunate to have a pair of nesting eagles raise 2 or 3 eaglets eachof the last 3 years in a nest in one of their great White Pines.Because of this, they have learned a great deal about eagles hab-its and how they raise their offspring. Hiking, reading, visiting with family and digital scrapbooking are some of her favorite

past time activities.

LETTER TO THE EDITORIt does not seem fair

TO THE EDITOR:

A year ago a realty company had anad for 18 acres in Reynolds Township.It was advertised as a horse/livestock farm. It had a barn and the property wasfenced in, wow, a dream come true. I wasexcited because I had planned on raisingsome chickens, a few pigs and putting ina garden. I was on my way to a little bitof self sufciency. The property was in

a state of disrepair so I started to work on it. I put a new roof on the house andpainted it inside and out. I cleaned the barn and put a new roof on that and cur-rently I am working on the other build-ing, a major cleaning in general. Severalneighbors stopped by to compliment me

on the improvements. I purchased somechickens and few small pigs, life wasgood. That all changed when I got a visitfrom Mr. DeJong, the township zoningadministrator. He told me the chickensand pigs would have to go, no livestock.I explained that this had been a work-ing farm for as long as the neighborscould remember. He said the property had gone through bankruptcy betweenthe last owner and me, so the farm sta-tus was broken. So much for my high

hopes in Reynolds Township. I askedMr. DeJong what my options were andhe said, “I could apply for a variance.” Iasked him what my chances were and hesaid, “Zero.” I wondered how he could be so sure of what the board, reviewingmy appeal, would render as their deci-

sion. I asked him how long I had to get

rid of the chickens and the pigs. He said,“I could make you get rid of them in 24

hours, but I will give you 30 days and

then be back with the Sheriff.” I calledthe township clerk and asked how to ap-

ply for a variance. She said I would have

to ll out some paperwork, pay $450.00

and a meeting could be scheduled inabout 30 days. I have a petition signed

by all the adjoining neighbors in favor of

this variance.I became a taxpayer of the township with high hopes of being a good neigh-

bor. If my variance is denied, it is time

to move on to a municipality where thetownship board is more people friendly.

CHaD MaRTIn

First impressions can last a long time,if not forever! So whether you’re inter-viewing for a big job, having lunch withsoon-to-be in-laws or simply meetingpeople at a party, the initial get-togethercan be crucial.

“There’s no need to stress about rstimpressions. Relax and just be yourself,”says Michelle Tillis Lederman, author of the new book, “The 11 Laws of Likabil-ity,” and founder and CEO of ExecutiveEssentials. “The rst dialogue with animportant new contact can be as easy,enjoyable and fullling as a conversationwith old friends.”

To help people stop stressing overpotential social pitfalls, Lederman offersseveral key tips for social situations.

Be CuriousBreak the ice in any social situation

by asking open-ended questions. Mostpeople love to talk about themselves, so

don’t hesitate to rely on the tried and

true, “What do you do?” Hobbies, in-terests, and goals are terric topics thatengage people. Be sure to pay attentionso you can ask follow-up questions thatshow you’ve been listening.

Probe with curiosity, but don’t inter-rogate. If you hit a brick wall, don’t panic.Simply change the conversation. “Yourgoal is to uncover what you might have incommon and what value you might bringto that person,” stresses Lederman, whois also a faculty member of the AmericanManagement Association.

Be LikableThe best interactions we have are

with the people we genuinely care for,and people like to do business and buildrelationships with people they like. To beliked, gure out what makes you uniquely likable and put forth a sincere positiveenergy when meeting someone for therst time.

Likewise, discover what you like

about the person with whom you’re talk-ing. They won’t always be apparent, butin the face of differences, nd common-alities. Focus on parallel life experienc-es and shared feelings. Happier, morecomfortable relationships will be yourresult.

Be Yourself “There’s no need to fake it,” says

Lederman. “The real you is the best you,and it’s the most powerful tool for form-ing real connections.”

There is no “right” way to interact withnew people. Everyone has his or her ownstyle. So show your authentic self andpeople should respond in kind, laying the bedrock for mutual understanding.

Don’t plaster on a fake smile. Even when talking to someone unpleasant, youusually can nd something you admireabout the person. Concentrate on posi-tives and your conversation will trans-

form for the better.

(NAPSI) — Parents of youngchildren need to be better edu-cated in order to avoid makingpotentially dangerous safety mis-takes when they are on the go.

The Problem Automobile crashes remain a

leading cause of death for childrenand it’s important that parents

consistently and correctly use theappropriate car seat to keep theirchild passengers safe. Many par-ents may be unknowingly endan-gering their children as three outof four car seats are not used cor-rectly, according to the NationalHighway Trafc Safety Adminis-tration.

Some AnswersBusy parents and caregivers

may be tempted by safety short-cuts when transporting children. AAA offers simple reminders toprotect parents’ most preciouscargo.

Shortcut: “I’m only drivinga mile from home, so my sondoesn’t need to be secured in hiscar seat since it’s a short trip.”

Reminder: You should buckleup properly on every trip—nomatter the distance—especially since most crashes occur close tohome.

Shortcut: “I’m picking up sev-eral kids after soccer practice andI’m going to put my 8-year-olddaughter in the front seat so allthe children can t into the car.”

Reminder: All children un-der age 13 are safest when riding

in the backseat and properly re-

strained in a car seat, booster seator seat belt.

Shortcut: “We will be drivingmore people in our car than wehave seat belts. Since it’s a shorttrip, it’s not a big deal for some-one to ride on another person’slap.”

Reminder: It’s never safe toride on another person’s lap. Eachpassenger should be properly re-strained on every trip.

Shortcut: “My son is 10 yearsold and 4’6” tall. He’s big enoughto use a seat belt now.”

Reminder: The American Academy of Pediatrics now rec-ommends children continue touse belt-positioning booster seatsuntil they are 4’9” and the seat belt ts properly.

Help For ParentsFortunately, AAA experts are

available to help parents with carseat installation. Visit an AAA

club, go to www.seatcheck.org.

Common car seat mistakesparents should avoid

SAFETY FIRST: With threeout of four child safety seatsnot properly installed, consult-ing an expert can be criticalto ensure that children aresecured in the safest manner possible. (NAPSI Photo)

High Tech, High TouchJohn Naisbitt first developed the concept of “high tech, high touch” in his 1982 bestseller Megatrends. He

theorized that in a world of technology, people would long for personal, human contact. Back then some peoplethought movie theaters would close up because people could watch the movie at home on their VCR (remember those). But Naisbitt thought, people, being social, needed human contact, would still go to the theater. And nownearly 30 years it looks like he was very correct.

With the development of the internet we have actually seen an integration of the tech and the touch. This is why social media sites like Facebook have become so popular. Even though we can stay in contact on these sites, we still need the physical touch, skin contact on a regular basis to maintain our health.

I heard a patient use the term “skin deprivation”. For her, the physical act of touching another human’s skinand being touched by someone was very important. She was widowed, with no children, with very little physicalcontact with other people. Depression began to creep in. She found several solutions. At first, she got a massageevery week, to have some of that contact. This was highly beneficial. She joined a church where there was

frequent hugging when greeting and leaving friends. These little things were huge for eliminating the depressionand continuing to have a balanced life.

Another patient was sent to a specialist for a consultation. His complaint was, “She never touched me”. This issuch a big part of gaining rapport with others. A touch, a simple hand shake, or a hug give us a since of belonging,acceptance, and community as well as releasing neurotransmitters and endorphins into the brain. When you havea consultation with the doctor, make sure you make some contact, shake hands or give himor her a hug. These are important for your health as well as your communications.

Infants who are not touched, cuddled, and hugged have all kinds of social, emotional, andphysical problems. I know a child who had little human contact for the first 18 months of life.

There were significant mental, emotional, physical, and intellectual retardation problemsand developmental delays. Even her teeth came in late. She was adopted by two very lovingtouching parents who added skin brushing, hair brushing, massages, reflexology and other physical therapy. She has made a remarkable recovery to probably 90% of “normal.”

So, yes we love the high tech and most of us do not want to go back, but we need thehigh touch. Remember stay in contact with people. Balance your life.

750JUMBOSHRIMP

For forty-eight year old kids. The first of the

Baby Boomers’ kids are forty-eight now. Boom-

ers began reaching 65 in 2009. While Medicare

is available to certain disabled people, this ar-

ticle is written to help Boomers and their kids.

Where’d Boomers come from? After the sol-

diers returned from World War II, the average

annual number of births jumped by 4 million

nine months later. Of course there had been

fewer babies during the war, but 4 million more

babies per year is a lot. We think of Boomersas being born from 1944 through 1960, having

no personal memory of the Big War, but having

lived the Great High Life following. Boomers

planned to continue that great life into retire-

ment.

Retirement health insurance. Boomers were

the biggest American workforce ever, over 45-

50 years. During their working lives they and

their employers paid into a U.S. government

‘savings’ account, called Medicare, to someday

be used to buy excellent, low-cost, health care

insurance for Boomers who reached retirement

years.

MEDICARE is not free. Even though moneypoured into the Medicare account for years, was

invested very well by U.S. investment analysts,

and grew wildly during the High Life years, only

Medicare Part A is free.

Choose A, or A and B. Medicare choices are

known by their Part numbers A through D. Four

months before the month in which she turns 65,

a retiree may sign up for free Part A, which in-

sures inpatient hospital care, home health care,

hospice care, and some skilled nursing care.

With Part A she may also pick and pay for Part

B. Part B insurance covers medical necessities

such as doctors’ services, outpatient care, and

necessary home health care. The standard fee

is about $110 per month, more if you’re a big

earner. With A and B she’ll use any doctor, hos-

pital or service providers.

Or Part C - Advantage plans. Instead of A and

B, she may choose a private insurance company

which covers additional, different, or expanded,

coverage, if she prefers. This is called Part C,

also known as Medicare Advantage or Advan-

tage Plans. Advantage plans may provide more

coverage than the government’s Parts A andB – which is their advantage. They may offer

dental, optical, and vision coverage, preventive

visits and surgical coverage, maybe prescription

coverage. They may have deductibles, co-pays.

With an Advantage Plan, she pays the part B

premium plus an additional monthly premium.

Medicare sends the Part C Plan provider money

to help cover her health care costs.

Whether to select a Part C Advantage Plan

depends on her ailments, budget, and its cost.

Here’s where her 47 year old kids help the most.

The Internet is a good source for locating and

comparing Medicare Advantage insurance plans

sold in Michigan.Part D is drug coverage. If she picked an Ad-

vantage plan which provides prescription cov-

erage, she won’t pick Part D. Otherwise if she

wants it, she must shop for Part D herself, with

her kids’ help. Try www.medicare.gov/find-a-

plan/questions/home.aspx. Best bet? Think pos-

itive. People who view aging positively live an

average of 7.5 years longer than those who think

negatively (A Yale University study).
