ing students whose parents receive power from GLE.

PAINTING & WALLPAPERING
By Jim Akans
Shoppers in downtown Grayling will find
two floors of treasures embracing a wide
array of fascinating items at The Brickery.
Established by Linda Nickert in June of 2007,
items offered throughout the approximately
1,000 square feet of retail space in this his-
toric building cover just about any interest or
gift idea.
Nickert states, We offer many items made
by local crafters, Michigan-made products,
lots of antiques, art, and more. We have new
products and consignment items, gift items,
scarves, hats and gloves, and we are begin-
ning to offer salvage products so people can
make their own crafts. Customers can spend
an hour in our store and still not see it all.
The stately brick building that is now
home to The Brickery was originally the
International Order of Odd Fellows building,
constructed in 1908. The downstairs held a
theater that would put on plays for loggers
and for Camp Grayling. The building has
gone through many incarnations over the
years, but shoppers at The Brickery can still
see the original tin ceiling and hardwood
floors.
Nickert recalls that the idea for her shops
name came from her daughter; We were
trying to think of a name. Since there are so
many bricks both inside and out; the walls
are three bricks thick, my daughter suggest-
ed calling it The Brickery.
Its the perfect name, reflecting solidity
and tradition; an apt representation of the
enduring quality of the wide variety of items
offered at The Brickery. The store, located at
107 Ottawa in downtown Grayling, is open
Monday through Saturday from 10 am until
6 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm. Visit
www.the-brickery.com or call 989-348-8999
for additional information.

The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Church
in Cheboygan is providing an opportunity
to make a difference in the lives of those in
the Cheboygan area community; those in
need of food assistance as well as those
helping to provide that assistance, The
Food Pantry is a place where people in
need can obtain food as well as informa-
tion to assist them in regaining a foothold
in their lives.
Located at St. Thomas Lutheran Church
on Western Avenue in Cheboygan, the
pantry is a project overseen by a group
formed by the Christian community of
Cheboygan and partnered by six local
churches and supported by many other
area churches and community businesses,
organizations and individuals. A group of
dedicated volunteers is an essential part of
the Food Pantry operations, and the suc-
cess of that mission is also dependent on
the generous contributions of food items
and monetary donations from those in the
community.
Lowell Beethem states, This Food
Pantry was started 1991. My wife, Jean,
and I are co-chairs of the current Board of
Directors, which is comprised of members
representing five churches in Cheboygan
area. We have over 100 volunteers, and we
run two shifts on Mondays and have six
teams that pick up food items, including
those from Walmart, which is a participant
in the Feeding America program.
The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Lutheran
Church accepts both fresh and canned
food items. Those who look into their stor-
age pantry at home and find they have
more food than they can readily use will
find the act of donating those foods to the
Pantry is both one of kindness and of giv-
ing. Proper nourishment is one of lifes
most basic of needs, and in these troubled
economic times, an alarming number of
people are suddenly finding themselves
unable to put a sufficient amount of food
on the table each and every day. Through
the work of volunteer organizations such
as the Food Pantry of St. Thomas Lutheran
Church, more and more of these individu-
als are able to sustain themselves and their
families until they are able to get back on
their feet.
In winter we tend to serve more people
than in summer, Beethem observes. In
the summer we serve up to 150 families
each week, and that number is up to 250
families in the winter.
The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Lutheran
Church is a partner agency with the Food
Bank of Eastern Michigan. This affiliation
significantly increases the effective food
purchasing power for the Food Pantry.
That also means dollars donated to the
Pantry can go a very long way. Estimates
are that for every $1 someone donates the
pantry can procure six meals worth of
food!
Beethem notes, Anyone who is truly in
need can be served here. We get a lot of
support from many groups in our commu-
nity. We could not do this without them
and the support of the five churches who
oversee the Food Pantry operations.
The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Church is
open every Monday from 10 am until
Noon and from 4 until 6 pm. It is located
at 332 N. Western Avenue in Cheboygan. To
make a donation, please call (231) 627-
3167 or visit www.stthomasfoodpantry.org

Kirtland Community College
seeks nominations for Outstanding Alumnus
LOCAL NEWS
Choosing a locally owned store gen-
erates almost four times as much eco-
nomic benefit for the surrounding
region as shopping at a chain, a new
study has concluded. The analysis also
found that eating at a local restaurant
produces more than twice the local
economic impact of dining at a chain
restaurant.
The research firm Civic Economics
analyzed data from fifteen independent
retailers and seven independent restau-
rants, all located in Salt Lake City, and
compared their impact on the local
economy with four chain retail stores
(Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, Office
Max, and Target) and three national
restaurant chains (Darden, McDonalds,
and P.F. Changs).
The study found that the local retail-
ers return an average of 52 percent of
their revenue to the local economy,
compared with just 14 percent for the
chain retailers. Similarly, the local
restaurants re-circulate an average of
79 percent of their revenue locally,
compared to 30 percent for the chain
eateries.
What accounts for the difference?
Independent businesses spend much
more on local labor. They also procure
more goods for resale locally and rely
much more heavily on local providers
for services like accounting and print-
ing. This means that much of the
money a customer spends at a local
store or restaurant is re-spent within
the local economy, supporting other
businesses and jobs.

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu midsize sedan
has received the highest possible 5-star
Overall Vehicle Score for safety as part of the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administrations New Car Assessment
Program.
Safety is an increasingly important consid-
eration for new vehicle buyers, especially for
those in the midsize segment, said Gay Kent,
General Motors general director of Vehicle
Safety and Crashworthiness. The customer is
at the center of our day-to-day operations and
when we design vehicles, its their safety that
we have in mind.
Safety technologies featured on the Malibu
include an ultra-high-strength steel safety
cage, rollover protection and 10 standard
airbags including knee airbags for both driver
and front passenger.
In addition to these passive safety features,
several other available active safety technolo-
gies, such as Forward Collision Alert and Lane
Departure Warning, can assist in avoiding a
collision. Side Blind Zone Alert uses sensors to
warn drivers of vehicles entering their blind
spot on either side. The pairing of Rear Cross
Traffic Alert, new to Malibu for 2014, and rear
vision camera can make backing out onto
busy streets a less-stressful affair.
Every Malibu comes with OnStar service
standard for the first six months. In the event
of a collision, OnStar Advisors can contact the
vehicle even if occupants cannot respond.
Malibu had its best retail sales year since
1999 last year.
The 2014 Malibu is a roomier, more refined
and more efficient execution of one of the
industrys most competitive midsize sedans.
Updated styling, a revised interior, a new 2.5L
standard engine, with fuel-saving stop/start
technology, and suspension enhancements
highlight the changes with the new engine
contributing to a 14-percent increase in city
fuel economy.
New, customer-focused technologies also
contribute to greater connectivity and
enhanced crash-avoidance capability. With
the available MyLink system, new Siri Eyes
Free Mode for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7 users
and a new Text-to-Voice feature allow user to
engage text messages and other smartphone
functions hands-free with voice commands,
while the available Side Blind Zone Alert and
Rear Cross Traffic Alert join Malibus roster of
advanced, active safety features.

Affairs (MCACA). This grant was award-
ed through the MCACA peer review
process and was one of 428 applica-
tions to compete for MCACA fiscal year
2014 funding. A portion of this grant is
provided by the National Endowment
for the Arts (NEA).
The mission of the Great Lakes
Chamber Orchestra is to produce live
orchestral performances providing
entertainment, education, and inspira-
tion for our northern Michigan com-
munity. The Orchestra provides con-
certs and recitals throughout the year
and across the region and organizes
events such as The Emerging Artist
Competition which provides an oppor-
tunity for young musicians to share
their talents while competing for a cash
prize and an opportunity to perform
with the Orchestra. The annual Day for
Strings gives local students of string
instruments an opportunity to work
with professional musicians in an all-
day workshop. Outreach into local
schools provides exposure to classical
music and musicians for classes or full
school assemblies. This grant will assist
with all of these important activities.

Lakes Chamber Orchestra, visit

Organizations receiving a MCACA
grant award are required to match
those funds with other public and pri-
vate dollars. In addition to our approxi-
mately 300 members, local support of
the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra is
provided by the Petoskey-Harbor
Springs Area Community Foundation,
the Charlevoix County Community
Foundation, the Bay Harbor
Foundation, community organizations
and many local businesses.
The MCACA peer review process
allows for each grant application to be
competitively
considered by a
panel of in-state
and out-of-state
arts and culture
professionals. This
ensures the tax-
payers, who sup-
port this project
through legislative
appropriations,
and all other visi-
tors or residents
in Michigan will have access to the
highest quality arts and cultural experi-
ences.

and become a fan on Facebook. John
Bracey, Executive Director of MCACA,
stated, I firmly believe that access to
the programs and projects of our states
many arts and cultural organizations
makes communities more welcoming
and more vibrant places to live, our
state a more attractive place for busi-
nesses to locate and provides our citi-
zens with an amazing quality of life.
The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra
certainly enhances the quality of life in
our beautiful Northern Michigan
region.

A quartet of Northern Michigan movers-
and-shakers addressed the 9th Annual State
of the Community Luncheon, hosted by the
Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce
and sponsored by Chase Bank.
Modeled after the State of the Union and
the State of the State, the event, which was
held at the Odawa Casino last week and drew
over 200 people, offered chamber members
and community leaders the opportunity to
learn how four different segments of the
Petoskey area are faring.
David Zechman, president and CEO of
McLaren Northern Michigan, talked about
the State of Health Care; Liz Ahrens, execu-
tive director of the Crooked Tree Arts Center,
shared about the State of the Arts; Fred
Kiogima, chairman, of the Little Traverse Bay
Bands of Odawa Indians reported on the
State of the Tribe. And Tino Breithaupt, man-
ager of the Michigan Economic Development
Corporation, weighed in on the State of the
Economy.
Highlights from the speeches. Zechman
reminded the audience that McLaren
Northern Michigan remains the number one
employer in the area. The hospital, which has
won awards for patient care, is committed to
creating a culture of wellness and prevention
by encouraging people to get moving and
eating well via its programs and classes. With
regards to mass media, Zechman announced
that he will soon be hosting a weekly radio
show during which he will discuss all the
services and great activities we provide for
the region. He invited the audience to the
Feb. 20th Red Carpet premiere of TAVR: The
Movie, which will feature a real-life patients
journey through heart valve replacement.
On a more lighthearted note, Ahrens, who
followed Zechman, stated, The arts are real-
ly represented well in our community, espe-
cially the performing arts. I know youve
probably seen a concert at Blissfest, taken in
a play by Civic Theater, gone to Bayview, Little
Traverse Choral Society, and Great Lakes
Chamber Orchestra.
She added: And who doesnt love the
Petoskey Marching Band? Right? Thats the
arts.
Ahrens was followed by Kiogima, who
received an especially warm welcome for his
military service in the USMC. He explained
how the LTBB have taken the lead in passing
tribal laws that help their employees and ben-
efit the local economy: Our minimum wage
law will increase to $10.50 by 2015. He also
talked about practical matters like the LTBB
providing road maintenance and repairs on
Country Club, Boyer, and Manvel roads dur-
ing Fiscal Year 2013. Kiogima waxed proud
regarding the recent opening of a state-of-
the-art fish hatchery (north of Pellston), that
is stocked with sturgeon that, he said, our
great grandkids will be harvesting.
Breithaupt concluded the talks with a
beyond Petoskey perspective by noting that
the Michigan economy is at a ten year high
with personal income being up 3.5%, which
matches the national economy. He also said,
We have eliminated what the governor [Rick
Snyder] likes to call the stupid Michigan
business tax, which has made the state more
competitive.
Among the elected officials in attendance
were Congressman Dan Benishek, State
Senator Howard Walker, Rep. Frank Foster,
Rep. Wayne Schmidt, and Petoskey Mayor Bill
Fraser. Each luncheon attendee was present-
ed with a thick booklet which highlighted the
state of education, the environment, and gov-
ernment. The document can be found

Deliver Good News
Jan Mancinelli, executive director of the
Womens Resource Center of Northern
Michigan (WRCNM) has received a Special
Tribute from the State of Michigan.
The tribute details her commitment to
both the community and the WRCNM dur-
ing the past 35 years and her efforts to
expand the centers programs and services to
provide residents with a multifaceted range
of resources. Her passion for justice, peace
and fairness was noted in the document, as
well as her work to encourage social change
as it relates to violence against women and
girls.
Frank Foster, State Representative of the
107th District said that he nominated
Mancinelli for the special tribute after read-
ing an article in the Petoskey News-Review
about her 35 years with the Womens
Resource Center. He said it was a personal
privilege to nominate and honor Mancinelli
for her tireless work with this tribute.
The proclamation was signed in Lansing
during the 96th legislative session by Foster,
Governor Rick Snyder and Senator Howard
Walker.

third annual
Academic State
Champs report
By Tina Sundelius
In a statewide ranking of the 545 school
districts in Michigan, Crawford AuSable was
rated third overall and first among rural and
small town school districts as reported in
Bridge, a magazine of The Center for
Michigan.
The Center for Michigan is a non-affiliat-
ed, non-profit public policy group who with
the Lansing-based research firm of Public
Sector Consultants created a ranking system
measuring student achievement of schools
enrolling students of comparable family
income. The study included student scores
on standardized tests in fourth, eighth and
11th grade over the last three years.
Grayling's Crawford AuSable ranked seventh
in fourth grade test scores, 12th in eighth
grade scores and 21st in 11th grade test
scores with all districts across the state.
How does a small Northern Michigan dis-
trict achieve higher standards than other
Michigan schools, some with greater
resources? Student success in our district is
due to probably 50 strategies and philoso-
phies, said Crawford AuSable School
Superintendent, Joe Powers.
The district receives
$7,026 per student, the 2nd
lowest funded schools in the
State including ISD funding,
and was ranked against all
Michigan schools then
against schools with compa-
rable funding and whose
students are from the same
socio-economic background.
We try very, very hard to
base all decisions upon the
thought, "how does this
affect kids," said Powers.
Consequently, educators at
Crawford AuSable have
undergone significant pover-
ty training and have imple-
mented that training. For
instance, we educators are
almost all from a middle
class world and respond to
middle class motivations.
Understanding a child from poverty has dif-
ferent resources, (emotional, social, and
financial) our staff uses strategies in regard
to personal interactions, home contacts,
responses to student class work, etc., said
Powers.
An example of how the district has imple-
mented this training is a shift in regard to
their attitude toward homework. We have
homework every day and have significantly
increased, not decreased, student academic
expectations. Yet, we regard homework as
practice, a step in the journey to reach the
destination which is proficiency, said
Powers. Homework is weighted lower than
other assessments like tests and quizzes.
This change was made because studies have
shown that a zero for homework for a middle
class student and their family serves as a
positive motivator and they tend to do their
homework the next time, whereas it serves
as a negative motivator for a poverty child. A
poor grade invokes an I might as well not
even try attitude.
Another explanation of the districts suc-
cess is their use if technology. Wi-Fi on buses
is one of many ways the Grayling school dis-
trict is raising test scores. While traveling to
and from school, high schoolers can do
homework on iPads and eighth-graders can
use the Google Chromebooks provided to
each student by the district. Technology is
the great equalizer for students of all back-
grounds. Also, it is the great equalizer for
poor schools vs. rich schools, said Powers.
Crawford AuSable's neighboring ISD's have
over a million dollars more than they do in
funding each year. Since we are at the bot-
tom of funding with the ISD we are assigned,
we have embraced technology to level the
playing field, he said.
Because they can't afford to hire language
teachers and because brain research has
shown that students learning a foreign lan-
guage at an early age increases brain devel-
opment, the district has instituted a k-12
world language program through the use of
technology. Other ways the district has
embraced technology include the use of 1-1
technology for students and its integration
into everyday lessons.
Other reasons cited for the districts suc-
cess include students owning their educa-
tion and community participation. We want
students to own their education because
education is the only gift that no one can
ever take away from them, said Powers. To
aid in this the school has implemented pro-
grams that provide students that do not have
the means to pay, the opportunity to attend
games, plays, or musicals. This way, they
can be active participants in their school.
We saw that students were not attending
the school functions because of the cost,
said Powers. Students that feel a part of the
school culture function at higher academic
levels.
Through bonds, the community has pur-
chased an entire new bus fleet and has paid
for the student technology. If we care about
them, the students can invest and own their
education to benefit themselves, he said.
Other schools in the Weekly Choice and
Charlevoix County News distribution areas
that made the lists are Fairview at 16th,
Alanson at 73rd, Onaway at 46th who ranked
second in the state in fourth grade test
scores, Johannesburg/Lewiston coming in at
24th, and Mackinaw City who fell below over
half the schools in the state at 284th but
ranked fourth across the state in 11th grade
scores.

Valentines Day is almost here. This
year, instead of sticking with flowers or
chocolates for your valentine, why not
give a gift with a future? Specifically,
consider making a meaningful financial
gift.
However, a meaningful gift doesnt
gain its meaning from its size, but rather
its impact. What types of financial gifts
can have the greatest effect on the life of
your loved one? Here are a few possibil-
ities:
Charitable gifts Your valentine
may well support the work of a variety of
charitable organizations. Why not give
to one of them, in the name of your
loved one? Not only will you be helping
a group that does good work, but you
may also be able to receive a tax deduc-
tion for your contribution, assuming the
organization qualifies for tax-exempt
status. And if you give financial assets,
such as appreciated stocks, you may
also be able to avoid paying capital
gains taxes on the donated shares.
IRA contributions Many people
dont contribute the maximum annual
amount to their IRA (which, in 2014, is
$5,500, or $6,500 if youre 50 or older).
While you cant directly contribute to
your valentines IRA, you can certainly
write him or her a check for that pur-
pose.
Gifts of stock Like everyone else,
your sweetheart uses a variety of prod-
ucts and he or she might enjoy being
an owner of the companies that pro-
duce these goods. You can help make
that happen through gifts of stock in
these businesses. A financial advisor
can help you through the straightfor-
ward process of buying stock and trans-
ferring it to anoth-
er person.
Debt payment
Consider vol-
unteering to pay
your valentines
car payment, or
credit card pay-
ment, for a month,
and then encour-
aging him or her
to put the savings
to work in an
investment. The
fewer debts we
have, the more we
have to invest for
our future.
Life and dis-
ability insurance
Quite frankly,
life insurance and
disability insur-
ance do not sound
like the most
romantic of
Valentines Day
presents. And yet,
if your valentine is
also your spouse, your purchase of life
and disability insurance may actually be
one of the most thoughtful gifts you can
give. Of course, your employer may offer
some life and disability insurance as
employee benefits, but this coverage
may be insufficient for your needs. After
all, if something were to happen to you,
your insurance may need to provide
enough income to pay off your mort-
gage, send your children to college and
perhaps even help pay for your spouses
retirement. As for disability insurance,
many employers plans are quite limited
in what they provide, so you may need
to supplement this coverage with a sep-
arate policy. And the possibility of incur-
ring a disability, even for a short time,
may be greater than you think. In fact, a
20-year-old worker has a three-in-10
chance of becoming disabled before
reaching retirement age, according to
the Social Security Administration.
As you can see, you can choose from a
range of financial gifts to brighten
Valentines Day for your loved one. So,
consider the ones that make the most
sense for your valentine and start
wrapping them up, so to speak.

Crooked Tree Arts Center and Petoskey District Library are
presenting the second weekend in their Calling All Kids film
series. BYOS (bring your own snack) Friday February 14th
and Saturday February 15th to Crooked Tree Arts Center. The
weekends selection of films includes a French film for older
children on Friday and classic
shorts for younger children on
Saturday. Both Friday and
Saturday are free and open to
the public!
February 14th showcases
the French film The Painting.
The Painting was an official
selection of the 2013 Traverse
City Film festival and will be
presented in the English lan-
guage version. The story is set
in a chteau, flowering gar-
dens, and a threatening forest,
where, for mysterious reasons,
a Painter has left paintings
incomplete. Three kinds of
characters live in this paint-
ing: the Toupins, who are
entirely painted, the Pafinis,
who lack a few colors, and the
Reufs, who are only sketches.
Considering themselves supe-
rior, the Toupins take over
power, chase the Pafinis from
the chteau, and enslave the
Reufs.
Convinced that only the
Painter can restore harmony
by finishing the painting,
Ramo, Lola, and Plume decid-
ed to go looking for him.
Throughout the adventure,
questions will follow one
after the other: What has
become of the Painter? Why
did he abandon them? Why
did he begin destroying
some of his paintings? Will
they one day know the
Painter's secret? *Parental
note: many paintings in the
artists studio are portrayed
including, for a portion of
the movie, a partially nude
woman in a reclining pose.
February 15th brings The
Weston Woods 60th
Anniversary
Commemorative Edition
that includes Arnie the
Doughnut a funny tale of a
doughnut convincing his
buyer that he is more than
just a sweet snack; The Elves
and the Shoemaker a classic
fairy tale about the industri-
ous of magical elves; Dem
Bones which is a classic
African American spiritual
teaching kids about the
human body and their funny
bone; and That New Animal
a funny exchange between
two dogs whose family is in
upheaval over the arrival of a new animal- a baby!
The last installment of the Calling All Kids Film Series will
be March 14th and 15th. Coraline will showcased on March
14th, an unusual tale of an adventurous girl who finds
another world that is a strangely idealized version of her
frustrating home, but with
secrets. Where the Wild Things
Are & Other Sendak Stories as
well as Why Mosquitoes Buzz in
Peoples Ears and Other
Caldecott Classics will be the
highlight of March 15th.
These are unsupervised
screenings, so parents are asked
to arrange for a responsible
adult to be present throughout
the showing. Friday movies run
between 75 and 90 minutes;
Saturdays films run approxi-
mately 50-60 minutes. All films
are free and open to the public
so be sure to join the Petoskey
District Library and Crooked
Tree Arts Center in celebrating
great art and great literature for
kids!
By Yvonne Stegall
Susan Shantz of the Oscoda County Art
Council is happy to announce that there are
a lot of good things going on this year. To
start off with, the Timberland Quilt Trail is
expanding in 2014. There are three new
blocks scheduled to be painted, and then
hung this spring. They are block 21 for
Habitat for Humanity in Fairview, which will
be a heart with a home inside; block 22 for
Fairview Dollar Store, a mariner's compass;
and block 23 for the Oscoda County Library.
Susan also says that she is looking for more
barns to put blocks on. She can be contacted
by phone or by email, 989-848-5757 and
susan@asaocc.org.
As well, Susan is looking to produce a cal-
endar of the quilt trail to make available at
local stores. The proceeds from sales would
go to benefit the Art Council and help pro-
duce the Quilt Trail Guides. If you are inter-
ested in volunteering your time, you can
contact Susan. She is also looking for a pho-
tographer to help.
If you are new to the quilt trail,
Timberland Quilt Trail is a part of the Quilt
Trails of Michigan group, a loose affiliation
of all the quilt trails in Michigan. They are
working with new groups and individuals to
help them get a quilt trail started in other
counties. They also work together to pro-
mote the existing quilt trails and will be pro-
ducing a rack card with information regard-
ing the quilt trails of Michigan. This rack
card will be in Michigan welcome centers
around the state. One of their goals is to
have a Sunrise to Sunset Quilt Trail that
would travel from Alcona County on Lake
Huron across the state to Lake Michigan.
This multi-county trail would be a big
undertaking and would need some extra
funding to promote.
In other news, the Oscoda County Art
Council will e participating in the Taste of
Oscoda on March 2, 2014 with their
Birdhouse Contest. They
will be participating in the
4th of July activities in
Comins and Mio, Au Sable
Valley Engine and Tractor
Club Show in June, the
Pumpkin Fest in October.
They are also looking into
being part of more events
around the county.
The Art Council is also
making raffle quilts with
the Timberland Quilt Trail
blocks. These will be raf-
fled at some point and
proceeds will be used for programs and pro-
motional materials. The Timberland Quilt
Trail is self-funded and takes no monies
from the County. Individuals and businesses
pay for the blocks and the money raised pays
for the materials, paint and supplies for the
blocks. Any extra money helps produce the
Trail Guides.
Susan adds that, The community has
been very supportive of the Timberland
Quilt Trail and we truly appreciate the
enthusiasm and encouragement they have
shown me.

One out of every four deaths in the United States can be
attributed to some form of heart disease, including heart
attack, angina, heart failure, arrhythmia, and stroke. Heart
disease is also the nations leading cause of disability.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, about 715,000 Americans have a heart attack
every year, and 600,000 people die from some form of the
disease. And, the overall cost of heart disease is in excess of
300 billion dollars every year. All Americans are urged to
have important tests blood cholesterol, blood pressure,
body mass index, and blood glucose levels to learn their
scores, and to save their lives.
Blood pressure, the silent
killer, can wreak havoc on
the heart, arteries, and
other organs without
exhibiting any symptoms.
In fact, blood pressure can
be dangerously high even though the individual feels fine.
Health consequences include heart attack and other forms
of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, vision and memo-
ry loss, peripheral artery disease, erectile dysfunction, and
more. Individuals must know their blood pressure num-
bers, have their blood pressure checked at least once a
year, and take any prescribed medication faithfully, says
Harry Colfer, MD, Interventional Cardiologist at McLaren
Northern Michigan.
Blood pressure is scored as two numbers, systolic and
diastolic, written in the form of a ratio. Systolic, the top
number and the higher of the two scores, measures the
pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, or contracts.
Diastolic, the bottom number and the lower of the two,
measures pressure in the arteries between heartbeats,
when the heart is resting and refilling with blood. The read-
ing is labeled with units of mmHG, meaning millimeters of
mercury. The American Heart Association recommends
that acceptable blood pres-
sure be maintained at
120/80 mmHg, or less.
Blood pressure should
never be taken for granted
its called the silent killer
for a reason. Call your doc-
tor today for a simple blood
pressure reading. If you do
not have a doctor, visit
northernhealth.org or call
(800) 248-6777 for a com-
plete list of care providers
who will help.
By Deb Hagen-Foley
February is American Heart Month and
Go Red for Women Month. The proclama-
tion by President Obama marks the 50th
anniversary of this recognition. These
events are intended to bring attention to
the fact that cardiovascular disease is the
number one cause of death for both men
and women.
The evidence suggests that it is working.
Deaths from cardiovascular disease have
dropped nearly 1 million per year since the
1960's, while the population has grown by
more than 129 million. Women often do
not believe they are at risk for heart dis-
ease. About one million people in the
United States die of heart disease annually.
In the United States, someone dies of
cardiovascular disease every 33 seconds.
Cardiovascular disease is often preventable
by changing the behaviors that can put you
at risk, including changing your diet.
Eating a diet low in saturated fats, sodium,
and cholesterol can help to reduce the risk
of cardiovascular disease. Numerous foods
have been shown to improve heart health.
The commercials claiming oatmeal and
other whole grain cereals are good at help-
ing to control weight and in lowering cho-
lesterol are true. People who report eating
whole grains tend to be leaner and have a
lower risk of heart disease. The antioxi-
dants, phytoestrogens and phytosteroids in
whole grains protect against coronary dis-
ease.
Add raisins or berries to your cereal for a
doubly heart-healthy breakfast. Eating a
cup of mixed berries daily for eight weeks
was associated with increased levels of
HDL or "good" cholesterol and lowered
blood pressure in one study. Other studies
have shown similar benefits from eating
berries regularly. It is believed the
polyphenols in berries increase levels of
nitric oxide, helping to relax blood vessels
and lowering blood pressure.
Antioxidants in raisins fight the growth
of a type of bacteria that can cause inflam-
mation and gum disease. Probiotics in
yogurt are also protective against gum dis-
ease. Up to 50 percent of American adults
are affected by gum disease. Persons with
gum disease are twice as likely to have
heart problems. Eating raisins and yogurt
can help protect you from both gum dis-
ease and heart disease.
Eat beans to lower cholesterol. It is
believed that the soluble fiber in beans
binds cholesterol and prevents it from
being absorbed in the body.
Beans also contain
flavonoids that slow the bonding of
platelets in the blood, which can lower the
risk of heart attack and strokes. Reap the
benefits of consuming beans on heart
health by consuming about one-half cup of
beans daily.
Flavonoids are also found in chocolate
and wine. Consuming moderate amounts
of dark chocolate helps to thin the blood,
improving heart health. Dark chocolate
may also reduce inflammation and boost
the immune system. A compound in
cocoa, epicatechin, increases nitric oxide
and improves blood vessel health and
helps prevent high blood pressure. Milk
chocolate does not contain sufficient
amounts of epicatechin. If you are going
to eat chocolate for heart health, make
sure to choose dark chocolate.
People who drink moderate amounts of
alcohol are less likely to have heart disease
than those who do not drink alcohol.
Moderate alcohol use raises "good" HDL
cholesterol, decreases inflammation and
helps to thin the blood, preventing blood
clots. Drinking moderately also increases
estrogen, which protects the heart. This
may be especially beneficial to post-
menopausal women who are at greater risk
for heart disease due to their reduced
estrogen levels.
Include two or more servings of fish
weekly to reduce your risk of cardiovascu-
lar disease. Fish, particularly the oily
kinds, like salmon and tuna, contain
omega-3 fats, which lower triglycerides in
the blood. Omega-3s also lower blood
pressure and can prevent irregular heart
rhythms. Canola oil, flaxseed oil and wal-
nuts also are good sources of omega-3s.
People who eat nuts two to four times
per week have a lower incidence of heart
disease. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, pine
nuts, hazelnuts and peanuts contain
monounsaturated fats that are good for
heart health. Stick with raw, unsalted nuts
for the most health benefits.
Another common snack, popcorn, is also
good for heart health. Popcorn contains
three times more of the antioxidant
polyphenols than kidney beans. Other
foods that contribute to heart health are
apples, green tea, bananas, pomegranates,
and tomatoes. For the sake of your heart,
incorporate moderate amounts of these
foods into your balanced diet, exercise
moderately for thirty minutes five days per
week, and quit smoking. Overall, smoking
will reduce your life expectancy by 13 or
more years.
Take steps to improve your heart health
and help diminish your risk of cardiovas-
cular disease.
