MECOSTA NEIGHBORHOOD

WATCH BLOCK LEADERS

MET ON WEDNESDAY TO

DISCUSS PLANNING OF

PATROLS AND INFORMING

MORE RESIDENTS ABOUT

THE WATCH.

Criminals beware

Residents in Mecosta attempt

to curb criminal element with

neighborhood watchBy Brad Klosner

Pioneer Staff Writer

MECOSTA The Village

f Mecosta Neighborhood

atch block leaders met on

ednesday to formulate patrol

lans to curb crime in the village.

We came together because of

he vandalism going on, said

atch Coordinator Ruth Bishop.

We have a lot of (late night)

oise thats going on in town.The neighborhood watch block

leaders held an open meeting on

Wednesday at the village hall.

There are eight block leaders

who are responsible for certain

sections of town. When crimes

are observed, watch members

report to the block leaders, who

then, report to the coordinator.

The coordinator is in touch

with Sgt. Scott Ruggles of the

Mecosta County Sheriffs Office.The focus of the neighborhood

watch is the noise and the

vandalism, said block leader

John Rau. And the presence (of

watch members) to let people

know were there (to help).

The informal meeting was to

discuss ideas and formulate

patrol plans around the

neighborhood. The group

discussed patrolling routes for

block leaders and members to

prevent overlap, distribution of

flyers to inform residents about

the watch, coming up with ID

tags to identify block and watch

members and encouraging

more residents to join the watch.

The group also has ordered 10

street signs, 10 signs for houses

and businesses and 50 window

decals to be distributed. This

has been the third meeting since

residents came together to form

the watch.

There also were discussions

concerning the rate of patrols

going around the village. Block

leaders wanted to be sure that

they were not harassing village

residents with any patrols.We are not police, Bishop said.

I dont think anyone here has

the right to knock on someones

door and tell them what to do.

I want (the watch) to improve

the neighborhood and bring it

together.

However, the watch is keeping

an eye on certain ordinances

within the village and will

either be making complaints

to the village code officer, JimLeszczynski, or directly to

Ruggles at the sheriffs office.

The watch is making it a point

to enforce late-night noise

violations and the curfew for

children 16 and younger, which

states they can not be out

without an adult past 10 p.m.

Block leaders are encouraged

to give out verbal warnings to

youth in violation of the curfew

but if problems persist, parentscan be fined.

You want to encourage (the

youth) to go home, said block

leader Alice Ray. Its getting

better (at night). Its getting

quieter.

The group discussed having

a block party at the end of

August. The idea is to get village

residents together in a relaxed

atmosphere for some casual

conversation about cohesion

and village pride among the

residents.

Maybe this is what the

neighborhood watch will do,

Bishop said. Maybe it will make

us talk to our neighbors.

The block party will be held

from 2 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 29 at

Bromley Park in Mecosta. The

free event will feature a pig roast

with residents bringing a dish to

pass. The next neighborhood

watch meeting is at 7 p.m. on

Aug. 11 at the village hall. All

interested village residents are

encouraged to attend.

SEE AN EXPERT TO MAINTAIN

GOOD CIRCULATION

(NewsUSA) - If you are an

average adult, you have enough

blood vessels, arteries, veins

and associated capillaries in

your body to circle the earth

four times. Placed end-to-end,

these vessels stretch to almost

100,000 miles. Your remarkable

circulatory (vascular) system

is vital to keeping your body

healthy and active. The blood

flowing through it provides

oxygen and nutrients your entire

body needs.

With age, your vascular system

may become blocked with

cholesterol and plaque, and

your blood flow may become

impaired. In severe cases,

the loss of blood flow may

contribute to stroke, aneurysm

and peripheral arterial disease,which may cause pain while

walking or limb-threatening foot

ulcers. Common sense about

eating a healthy diet, exercising

and not smoking all contribute to

feeling good and keeping your

vascular system healthy.

Like any health condition, if

you experience problems with

your vascular system, it makes

sense to see the most qualifiedspecialist to manage your

symptoms. While most vascular

conditions do not require

surgery, you will receive the

most expert and comprehensive

care if you see a vascular

surgeon. Most often, vascular

surgeons manage conditions

with medication. Some

conditions can be corrected

with non-invasive procedures

that offer good results andquick recovery. Only in the most

severe cases is open surgery

required.

Todays vascular surgeons are

the only specialists who are

skilled in all vascular therapies.

They are comprehensively

trained in medicinal,

endovascular (minimally

invasive) and surgical therapies.

Vascular surgeons are the

experts who provide the best

diagnosis and treatment for

vascular conditions.

Pay close attention to your

circulation, and if you experience

problems, see your primary

care physician. If your doctor

diagnoses a vascular condition,

ask them to refer you to a

vascular surgeon.

BACK TO SCHOOL: PREPARE

YOUR TEEN FOR THE ROAD

By Trisha Hessinger For

NewsUSA

(NewsUSA) - As the summer

comes to an end, teens prepare

to get back to the classroom

-- and the road. If your young

driver is ready to buy their first

used vehicle, youll need to

do your research. Firestone

Complete Auto Care offers some

tips that will not only help you

in the process of buying a good

used vehicle, but will also help

keep that vehicle running newer,longer:

When shopping for a used car:

* Make the investment. Many

problems with vehicles arent

obvious. Have your teen

take the vehicle to a trusted

automotive technician for a

thorough inspection. A small

investment upfront could mean

big savings down the road ifit prevents you from buying a

vehicle with serious mechanical

problems.

* Check the Internet. Your teen

can use a vehicles Vehicle

Identification Number (VIN) to

search for its history online. Its a

good way to check for odometer

fraud and to find out if the car

has ever been damaged in an

accident.

* Trust your senses. Check for

evidence of flood damage, which

might include a musty smell,

water stains, dried mud, mildew

or mold inside the car. Check for

stains on the carpet under the

dashboard, which can indicateheater core or air conditioner

leakage.

After purchasing your used

vehicle:

* Change the engine oil. Early

on, your teen should get in

the habit of changing the

oil according to the vehicle

owners manual, usually every

three months or 3,000 miles.

Prolonged driving without anoil change may cause severe

engine damage, which can be

very costly to repair.

* Maintain your tires. Teach your

teen to check the tire inflation

pressure every month. Tires

should be properly balanced

and rotated according to the

maintenance schedule. The

alignment should be checked

at least once a year. Properly

maintained tires are safer and

longer lasting, and can increase

gas mileage up to 3 percent,

* Check the vehicles fluid levels.

Have your automotive technician

show you and your teen how tocheck the transmission, power

steering, windshield washer and

coolant to make sure theyre

properly filled. Also have your

automotive technician check

your vehicles brake fluid level

and condition regularly.

found that chronic inflammation,

such as that found in gum

disease, increases the risk that

a patient will develop heart

disease. A 2010 survey of

12,000 people in Scotland found

that, over an average of eightyears, those who rarely or never

brushed their teeth were 70

percent more likely to develop

heart disease than those with

twice-daily brushing habits.

Researchers dont quite know

how the connection between

oral health and heart health

works, but that doesnt mean

that you should dismiss the link.

Brushing your teeth might be the

easiest, simplest way to keepyour heart healthy.

Of course, brushing your teeth

isnt the only way to take care of

your mouth. Here are some tips:

* Avoid smoking. If you smoke,

stopping is absolutely the best

thing you can do to improve your

health. Speak to your doctor or

dentist about ways to help you

quit.

* Use oral care probiotics

in addition to brushing and

flossing. You can do more

than simply brushing and

flossing every day. Oral care

probiotics, like EvoraPlus(www.myevoraplus.com), may

help make up the difference.

Probiotics, or good bacteria,

adhere to tooth surfaces, where

they leave less room for harmful

bacteria to attach to grow.

* Dont let sugar stay on your

teeth between brushings. Drink

water after eating or drinking

liquids to rinse your teeth. Dont

bathe your teeth in sugar all day

by continuously eating or sippingbeverages like soda. Instead,

have sugary liquids with meals

and limit snacking. Stay away

from foods that are likely to stick

to teeth, such as candy, and try

having an apple instead. Apples

increase saliva production,

so they actually help rinse

your mouth of cavity-causing

bacteria.
