DR. LEONARD WRIGHT TO
SPEAK ON ALTERNATIVE
TREATMENTS AS PART
OF CANCER AWARENESS
SERIES
BIG RAPIDS – As part of the
Wheatlake Center Cancer
Awareness Series, Dr. Leonard
Wright will present an overview
of alternative therapies for cancer
patients at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Wright, director of Spectrum
Hospice in Grand Rapids, has more
than 20 years of experience in
administering complementary and
alternative treatments to cancer
patients. As part of the Cancer
Awareness Series, he will give a
scientific explanation of evidence
and methods as well as hands-on
information.
The presentation will be beneficial
for health care providers, patients
and the general public, said Tom
Hogenson, director of the Mecosta
County Medical Center, which
hosts the Wheatlake Center.
“Dr. Wright will bring a wealth of
experience to share with people,”
Hogenson said. “He has a lot
to say, should be a great public
speaker and we’re looking forward
to having him.”
The Cancer Awareness Series
features around six speakers a
year, selected by a committee from
the Wheatlake Center.
Hogenson said he expects up to
100 people to attend the lecture,
which will be held in the auditorium
at the Holiday Inn and Conference
Center, located at 1005 Perry
Avenue, Big Rapids. The event
is free and pre-registration is not
required, though attendees can call
(231) 592-1034 in advance so the
committee will have an idea of how
many to plan for.
Wright has professional board
certifications in Hospice and
Palliative Medicine, 2003;
Medical Acupuncture, Emergency
Medicine, and Internal Medicine.

efficient. In exchange for completing
upgrades and renovations,
Consumers Energy would award a
rebate.
Since the beginning of the program,
Consumers Energy has distributed
$17 million, helping 2,450
commercial and industrial Michigan
customers in 2010 alone.
Chippewa Hills School district
was the only business in Mecosta

is obtained through an application
system recording the projects
and their cost. In addition to the
incentive money, the district will

EVERY CAR NEEDS A LITTLE
TLC ? HOW TO MAXIMIZE
VEHICLE LIFE
(NewsUSA) - During the winter
months, cold weather gives way to
the warm, fuzzy feelings brought
on by the presence of that certain
special someone. But it’s not just
your significant other that deserves
attention -- your hard-working
vehicle needs some extra TLC as
well. Tires Plus offers a few tips to
keep your vehicle running strong:
* Listen to each other. Keep your
engine properly tuned. A vehicle
that has a serious maintenance
problem, such as a faulty oxygen
sensor, can decrease gas mileage
by as much as 40 percent. A single
misfiring spark plug can cut fuel
economy by up to 4 percent.
* Keep your vehicle refreshed.
Change the engine oil. Use the
recommended grade of motor oil
for your vehicle, and change it
according to your vehicle owner’s
manual, which usually says every
three months or 3,000 miles.
Prolonged driving without an oil
change may cause severe engine
damage. Regularly check your
vehicle’s fluid levels, including
transmission, power steering,
windshield washer and coolant.
* Keep in constant contact.
Maintain your tires. Check inflation
pressure monthly, and make sure
your tires are properly balanced.
Don’t forget to rotate your tires
according to the maintenance
schedule and have the alignment
checked at least once a year.
* Be considerate. Use good driving
habits. Accelerating quickly and
stopping abruptly can prematurely
wear your vehicle’s engine,
transmission, tires and brakes.
Aggressive driving also wastes
gas.
* Protect it from the elements.
Keep the exterior washed and
waxed to preserve the paint finish
and protect your vehicle from the
environment. Salt, water, sand
and even de-icing chemicals on
the road can cause rust or other
damage to a vehicle.
Every relationship takes work,
even the one you have with your
car. Never underestimate how far a
little tender loving care toward your
vehicle can go!
HAVE A HEART: PREVENT
HEARTWORM
(NewsUSA) - Your pet offers
unconditional love, so shouldn’t
you do your best to take care of his
or her heart?
Cats and dogs can become
infected with heartworm from
mosquito bites. All cats and dogs
are susceptible to heartworm, no
matter their age or state of health.
It is important to protect your pet
regardless of where you live as
heartworm disease has been found
in every state.
When an infected mosquito bites a
pet, it transmits heartworm larvae,
which mature into long adult
heartworms that can live in the heart
and surrounding vessels for several
years. The number of heartworms
living within the heart can be
astounding; up to 250 heartworms
have been found in a single dog.
Pets treated for heartworm don’t
develop immunity and can be
reinfected at any time by another
mosquito bite, so prevention after
treatment is essential.
While many pets don’t display
symptoms in the early stages, a
dog with heartworm disease can
show signs including: coughing,
fainting, weight loss or difficulty
breathing. If left undetected and
untreated, heartworm disease can
cause sudden death by blocking
blood flow to the heart. In dogs,
heartworm treatment involves
slowly killing the worms without
harming the pet. Cats tend to have
fewer worms, but their effect can
be just as devastating. Currently,
no heartworm treatment exists for
cats.
Luckily, heartworm disease is
completely and easily preventable.
Administering an oral monthly
heartworm preventative, or having
your veterinarian give an injection
every six months, will kill immature
heartworms before they mature
and are able to inflict damage to
the pet.
The experts at Banfield Pet
Hospital (www.banfield.com)
suggest pet owners get their pets
tested for heartworms and then
discuss prevention or treatment
if necessary. The test is quick
and simple and requires only a
drop of your pet’s blood. Only
a veterinarian can prescribe
heartworm preventive, and he or
she will make sure your pet gets
the appropriate protection.

banfield.com.
NO-COST TELECOM AUDITS
SAVE MONEY
(NewsUSA) - Voice and data
systems are crucial to the success
or failure of most businesses.
Many companies provide
laptops, cell phones, and Internet
connections that require expensive
maintenance by internal IT
departments. Paying for full-time
IT services and multiple telecom
providers may be an overlooked
and unnecessary expense. A no-
cost analysis of these expenses
can save companies money.
Geeks On Call (www.GeeksOnCall.
com) has been a national leader in
providing on-site computer support
to thousands of businesses over
the past decade. Recognizing
a need for advice with telecom
service providers, this leader in
outsourced IT recently announced
a new professional telecom audit
service designed to save money
for business of all sizes.
In addition to their world-class on-
site technical support, Geeks On
Call now represents all of the major
telecom companies that offer voice
and data services. Geeks On Call’s
new professional telecom audit
service helps businesses maximize
the use of their existing technology
while negotiating the best prices on
their voice and data contracts. Many
businesses don’t realize that they
can save money through a proper
audit of their telecom expenses.
A Geeks On Call telecom audit
includes cell phone, broadband,
DSL, local, long-distance,
teleconferencing and video
conferencing services. The major
telecom vendors represented
compensate Geeks On Call,

GREEN OCCUPATIONS ARE GROWING
(NewsUSA) - A combination of
legislation and activism is inspiring
companies to consider the “green”
side to their business.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
shows environmentally related
occupations are projected to grow
38 percent more than all other
occupations combined by 2016.
The report, “Current and Potential
Green Jobs in the U.S. Economy,”
predicts the highest growth of
green jobs will be in renewable
power generation, retrofitting
residential and commercial areas
and in renewable transportation
fuels. As a result, universities are
increasingly integrating economic,
environmental and social issues
into their curriculum.
One of these institutions, DeVry
University, has created several
green-focused specializations to
build on the school’s core degree
programs -- including business
administration with a specialization
in sustainability management, and
electronics engineering technology
with a specialization in renewable
energy.
“Education needs to reflect this
trend for the future leaders who will
build economic and technological
capital while considering the impact
on social and natural resources,”
said Jesus Fernandez, associate
provost for curriculum at DeVry
University. “DeVry University’s
green curriculum adds focus on
sustainability and environmental
impact to the core business and
electronics engineering technology
degree programs.”
Fernandez offers three main growth
areas:
Sustainability Management
An emerging area for leadership
involves resource conservation,
pollution prevention and the
regulation and enforcement for
process and procedure to be made
more efficient and with greater
sustainability. Those interested in
sustainability management should
explore coursework that provides
a sound foundation of business
and management principles while
emphasizing green considerations,
technologies and economic
factors.
Renewable Energy
Relating to the production,
transmission and storage of
sustainable energy sources -- wind,
solar, geothermal and biomass
power -- many of the skills needed
in engineering, design, planning or
project management for renewable
sources of energy are similar to
those needed in traditional energy
fields.
A strong engineering technology
and electronics foundation, like
DeVry University’s Renewable
Energy specialization, provides
an emphasis on alternative power
sources and the economics of
green engineering.
“Changing Skill” Occupations
With the increasing cultural shift
toward environmental stewardship,
there is a substantial need
for employees of all levels to
understand the green process.
Students now have the opportunity
to add desirable green skills to their
existing area of expertise ? be it
marketing, operations, finance or
management.
Green job growth won’t slow down
anytime soon -- it is currently
outpacing even total job growth.
Between 1998 and 2007, U.S.
green jobs increased by 9.1 percent
with little government investment
-- almost 150 percent more than
total job growth of 3.7 percent for
the same period. Moving forward,
companies will require employees
to understand “green,” and it will be
essential for graduates to prepare
themselves for this changing
environment. Students interested
in these exciting programs and
careers should visit www.devry.edu
for more information.
