RELAY FOR LIFE TO BE
HOSTED AT HEMLOCK PARK
BIG RAPIDS — The American
Cancer Society’s Relay for Life
in Mecosta County will have a
new home this year.
Friends and family of cancer
survivors will walk around a
one-third-mile course next
weekend at Hemlock Park
to raise money for cancer
research. The 24-hour event
starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday,
Sept. 18, and ends Sunday at 9
a.m.
The Relay for Life left its usual
location at Crossroad Charter
Academy in Big Rapids due
to a scheduling conflict, said
David Nyitray, the American
Cancer Society community
representative for Mecosta
County. The school is hosting a
boys soccer tournament the day
of the event.
“We’re hoping we’re going
to get a lot more walkers (to
participate) at the park,” he said.
“It’s a lovely place right near
downtown. I think we’ll have a
little more shade, too.”
Participants will walk the portion
of the Riverwalk between the
park pavilion and the tennis
courts, and complete a loop
through the parking lot back
toward the pavilion.
The change of scenery also
brings a new set of safety
concerns. Organizers’ biggest
concern is the Muskegon River.
“We’re being very conscious
to keep people away from the
river,” said event co-Chair Laura
Vallette. “We have the (Mecosta
County) Sheriff’s Posse on-call
pretty much all day on Saturday.
They’re going to be our river
patrol and make sure no one is
going near there.”
Another challenge organizers
face is overnight camping.
Participants who wish to remain
on site for the entire 24 hour
event will be allowed to bring
their campers and tents to sleep
in. Organizers worked with the
City of Big Rapids Recreation
Department to make sure it
is OK for participants to stay
overnight in the park, Nyitray
said. Campers will be allowed
to set up in the parking lot area
near the tennis courts and tents
can be set up in the adjacent
grassy area.
Some of the proceeds raised
will stay local and go to the
Susan P. Wheatlake Women’s
Cancer and Wellness Fund.
Nyitray expects this year’s
event to raise about $73,000
for cancer research. Last year,
about $70,000 was raised.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2010 • TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER 3
So far, 28 teams have
registered for the event.
Organizers expect between 500
and 1,000 people to participate
in the event, including about
200 cancer survivors.
“It’s really about celebrating
those who have fought cancer
and are still battling it,” Nyitray
said.
To participate in the Relay for
Life or for more information,

INCLUDE RECOVERY TIME IN
YOUR EXERCISE PLAN
(NewsUSA) - When you think
about getting in shape, you
might flash back to ‘80s movie
montages of jogging up stairs,
hitting punching bags and
practicing martial arts moves.
But if the movies had it right,
they’d also show the hero
kicking back with a glass of
chocolate milk -- when it comes
to getting in shape or improving
performance, recovery time is
just as important as working out.
Exercise creates micro-tears in
muscle fibers. The body repairs
those muscles, making them
stronger than they were before
the workout. But muscle repair
takes time. If you exercise
before your muscles recover,
you increase the damage. Over
a period of time, you’ll actually
sabotage your performance
by repeatedly breaking down
muscle without giving it a
chance to rebuild.
The faster your body can
recover after exercise, the
stronger you’ll get, because
you’ll be able to exercise at a
higher level more frequently.
Here are some tips for
improving muscle recovery for
better performance:
* Fuel your muscles. Muscle
recovery starts right after a
workout, so you should give
your body the nutrients it
needs to rebuild muscle as
soon as possible. Drink water
and electrolytes immediately
after exercise. Exercise uses
up muscles’ glycogen energy
stores, so replenish them with
simple carbohydrates. Make
sure to eat protein within two
hours after working out. In
one study, those who drank
chocolate milk after exercise
recovered more quickly than
those who drank a sports
beverage, probably due to
milk’s balance of minerals,
carbohydrates and protein.
* Increase circulation. The more
blood going to your
legs, the better. Stretching
and massage can help your
muscles release toxins. You
may also want to try a pain-
relieving liquid, such as
Absorbine, Jr. (www.absorbinejr.
com). The natural herbal
formula provides temporary
relief from muscle aches by
improving circulation and
reducing pain, so you can
speed up your recovery time
and get back to your sport.
* Rest. Getting a full eight
hours of sleep will help your
body recover. On a similar
note, give your body time to
rebuild between workouts. Most
athletes include one or two
recovery days in their training
programs, when they will either
not exercise or will perform a
low-intensity activity, such as
walking.
FOOTBALL SEASON MARKS
THE TIME FOR CAR CARE
(NewsUSA) - As the leaves
fall and the cold weather
approaches, everyone begins
to feel a little football fever. Just
like the greatest coaches check
their starting line-ups each year,
make sure that your vehicle’s
most important parts and
systems aren’t corroded, empty,
deflated or worn out. With kick-
off around the corner, Firestone
Complete Auto Care offers the
following tips to ensure your
vehicle is ready for fall after a
long, hot summer.
Run some drills.
* Remember to have your belts,
hoses, air filters, windshield
wipers, lights, fluids, and
battery cables and terminals
all checked by a professional
before the fall season begins.
* Fall weather can be wet and
dreary. One way to prepare
your vehicle for the wet weather
is to check the tire treads with
the “penny test.” Insert a penny
in the tread, Lincoln’s head
down. If you can see the top of
Lincoln’s head, the tread is worn “The probiotics effectively
and the tire probably needs to
be replaced.
* Make sure to have your
tires rotated according to the
schedule in your vehicle’s
maintenance guide -- usually
every 5,000 miles. Regular
rotation will even out the wear
patterns on your tires.
Hydrate.
* Check your vehicle’s fluid
levels, including transmission,
brake, power steering,
windshield washer fluids and
coolant to make sure they’re
properly filled.
Get some air.
* You can’t tell if a tire needs air
just by looking at it. The only
sure-fire way to determine if
your tire needs air is with a tire
gauge. The tire could be six to
10 PSI under-inflated and still
look fine.
Having a creative playbook
is a must for any successful
football team, but having a well-
maintained vehicle is a must
for any driver. So blitz the bad
weather, and make sure your
car is well equipped for this fall!
PARENTS: TOOTH
SENSITIVITY IN CHILDREN IS
NO LAUGHING MATTER
(NewsUSA) - Children’s smiling
faces will bring joy to most
parents. A toothache, however,
can quickly turn a child’s smile
into a frown. If your little one
reports tooth sensitivity or pain,
it may be time to visit a dentist.
But if your child has no pain or
sensitivity, you’ll still want to use
the best preventive techniques.
Most toothaches are caused by
cavities or bacterial infections in
teeth. The best defense against
dental problems like these is
a good oral hygiene routine.
Twice-daily brushing and once-
daily flossing is a good first step
toward preventing childhood
dental problems. To give kids
an even greater advantage for
maintaining good dental health,
some parents also choose to
incorporate oral care probiotics,
such as EvoraKids (www.
myevorakids.com). EvoraKids
is a chew that is designed to
help support children’s tooth
health by introducing beneficial
bacteria to the mouth.

bacteria for both nutrients and
space on teeth surfaces,” says

Ph.D., chief scientific officer
of Oragenics, Inc. “These
beneficial bacteria can reach
into the tiny crevices on the
chewing surfaces of the teeth.”
However, if your child does
happen to complain of a
toothache or sensitive teeth,
despite your best preventive
efforts, it may be something
other than dental disease.
Some toothaches can be
caused by injuries, such as
loosened, chipped or fractured
teeth. Chips and fractures can
lead to infection, so children
who sustain mouth injuries
should visit a dentist as soon
as possible. Parents can
help prevent mouth injuries
by making sure that children
buckle their seat belts, wear
mouthguards and helmets
while playing sports, don’t run
where slips and falls are likely,
and don’t try to chew very hard
foods.
If your child complains of a
sudden toothache, make sure
it’s not something simple, like a
piece of food stuck in their teeth
or gums, before visiting the
dentist. You can also rinse the
child’s mouth with warm water
to loosen any unseen items.
If food is found stuck between
teeth, gently remove it with
floss.
WHAT COLORS BEST FIT
YOUR PERSONALITY?
(NewsUSA) - You often
hear that you should match
your home’s design to your
personality and interests, but
few color swatches come with
names like “Reads Paranormal
Romance Novels,” “Hikes on
Weekends” or “Gleek.”
To help you figure out what
color palettes will best suit your
personality, Mohawk Flooring
(www.mohawkflooring.com)
provides the following quiz:
What Is Your Design
Personality?
You’re making big plans for the
weekend. What are they?

B) Antique shopping
C) Inviting friends over for

D) Touring a haunted house
You’re making your favorite
dish. What is it?
A) An all-organic risotto cooked
with ingredients from the local
farmer’s market
B) A Moroccan tangine cooked

C) Macaroni and cheese, with

B) Framed vintage travel

Mostly A’s: Idealist. Those out to
save the world will feel at home
with Earth-inspired colors, such
as cocoa, cinnamon, stone and
taupe. In addition to choosing
a natural color palette, look for
products that conform to your
ideals, such as green-certified
carpeting made from recycled
materials. For example,
Mohawk SmartStrand Featuring
DuPont Sorona is 37 percent
bio-based.
Mostly B’s: Eclectic. You love
authentic and vintage finds
and enjoy layering colors and
patterns. Try shades like rose,
olive, turquoise and seafoam.
Mostly C’s: Homebody. You’re
all about warmth and comfort,
and you like to keep things cozy
and intimate. Vary between
neutral colors and warm
shades.
Mostly D’s: Mysterious Stranger.
You appreciate romance and
intrigue. Evoke an Old World

shades of navy, purple, red and
teal. Exotic hardwood floors
with deep, rich hues add to the
veiled allure.
