BUSING REINSTATED AT

REED CITY

REED CITY School buses will be rollinggain this fall in Reed City but its going

o come at a cost. At a special meeting held Thursday

he Reed City Area Public Schools Boardof Education agreed to reinstate busingfor the 2011-12 school year. The boardsigned a three-year contract with MichiganEducation Transportation Services ofGrand Rapids to provide busing serviceso the district.

Because of concerns from parents inhe community, we decided to reinstateusing, said board Treasurer Scottidderman. We did a large survey ande got a good response from the people

n our district and what they needed as fars transportation goes.

Under the new contract, the districtsransportation budget will be $816,542

about $250,000 less than last years.Items under the revised busing budgetnclude $78,000 for gas, $80,000 for repairarts, $20,528 for insurance and $75,953

or a full-time mechanic. A letter announcing the busing

einstatement will be sent to parentsoday.

A copy of the letter that will be sentome to parents on Friday.A route schedule with times and pickup

ocations will be released in the districtsugust newsletter.

RCAPS Superintendent SteveWesthoff was pleased to announce thereturn of busing to the district.

We understand that in manyfamilies there was an extreme needfor transportation to and from school,Westhoff said. We listened to thoseconcerns and will now be able to transporttheir students to school and home again.

Citizens have suggested thecancellation of the transportation programwas an exercise used to manipulatepublic opinion in some way.

If this was some sort of exercise, itcertainly is one I dont want to ever takepart in again, Westhoff said. Its ridiculousto say this was an exercise. A stunningamount of work went into trying to findcreative solutions to the problems involvedin getting students to and from schoolwithout an organized busing program.

We have managed to resolve oneproblem, but we still have significantudget problems in our district.

We found a way to make ourransportation program work for now. Weistened to the people of this communitynd the board acted accordingly.

HYBRID CARS: THE

PERFORMANCE CARS OFTHE FUTURE

(NewsUSA) - When most people thinkof hybrid cars, they imagine practical,mild-mannered vehicles. But could wesomeday see hybrid racecars burning upthe tracks?

In March of 2010, Porsche (www.porsche.com/usa/) unveiled three hybridsat the Geneva Auto Show: one for theroad; one for the race track; and one thatis a genuine Porsche supercar. Theseinnovative new Porsches -- the CayenneS Hybrid, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid and the

918 Spyder -- show that hybrids can besporty, fast and powerful.

The Cayenne S, Porsches firstproduction hybrid car, features asophisticated parallel full hybrid systemwith the combined power of a 380horsepower V6 combustion engine andan electric motor. The car has the potentialto significantly enhance fuel economy athigh speeds -- when the driver lifts off theaccelerator at cruising or highway speeds,the gasoline engine can be switchedoff and disengaged from the drivetrain.This enables the vehicle to move withoutcombustion or electric power.

The GT3 Rs innovative hybridtechnology has been developed especiallyfor racing. The front axle features two

powerful electric motors that supplementthe cars 480 horsepower, naturallyaspirated four-liter flat-six that drives therear wheels. Instead of the heavy batteries

found in hybrid road cars, an electricalflywheel power generator resides next tothe driver to deliver energy to the electricmotors. The 911 GT3 R Hybrid competedin the 24 Hours on the Nordschleife ofNrburgring in May 2010, leading for eighthours before retiring after 22 hours and15 minutes for mechanical reasons. Inthe 2010 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta itfinished 18th out of a starting field of 41cars.

With the 918 Spyder high-performancemid-engine concept hybrid sports car,Porsche is displaying its expertise in thefield of highly efficient and low-emissiondrive technology. The 918 Spyder prototypewith plug-in hybrid technology combineshigh-tech performance features withelectric mobility to produce a fascinatingrange of qualities. It has an ultra-compactcars emission levels of 70 grams of CO2per kilometer, and it consumes just threeliters of fuel per 100 kilometers, but can gofrom 0 to 62 mph in just under 3.2 secondsand reach a top track speed over 198mph.

2011 NEW YEARS

RESOLUTION: START

TAKING BETTER CARE OF

YOUR VEHICLE

(NewsUSA) - While we might slip up onour New Years resolutions at times, thisyear you can resolve to take better care ofyour car all year. Firestone Complete AutoCare offers the following tips for wintervehicle maintenance to get you started!

Be proactive. Winter only magnifiesexisting problems like pings, hard starts,sluggish performance or rough idling.Make sure your vehicle is mechanicallysound before the temperature dips and

the streets get icy. Make certain theengine is in peak condition. Also checkthe cooling system. Coolant should bereplaced per the vehicle manufacturersmaintenance schedule.Be on schedule. Have your motor oilchanged regularly. Use the specifiedweight and grade of oil recommendedby your vehicle manufacturer. Alsomake sure to check that the heating/defrosting system is working properly.Be prepared. Prepare for potentialwinter emergencies by using yourtrunk as a storage place for emergencyitems. Important items to have onhand include: a properly inflated spare

tire; ice scraper; windshield de-icer;flashlight; blanket; extra clothes; bottledwater; cell phone car charger and non-perishable snacks.Be on the defensive. Take a defensiveposition against winter drivingconditions, and take care of your tires.Once it gets cold, tire tread and pressureshould be checked weekly. A tires PSImeasurement can drop one pound forevery 10-degree drop in temperature.If snow and ice are a problem in yourarea, consider installing winter tires,which are specially designed to gripslick roads.

Be diligent. Use common sense duringadverse road conditions. Reduceyour driving speed, and increase your

following distance in hazardous winteweather. If you get stuck in the snow,dont spin your tires -- this can overheathem and possibly cause damage.

Use sand, gravel, kitty litter, an asphalshingle or other gritty items to help youtires gain traction when stuck.

THIS SEASON, DONT

LET PUMP PRICES PUT

A DAMPER ON YOUR

HOLIDAY FUN

By Trisha Hessinger For NewsUSA|(NewsUSA) - Its easy to get caught up inthe holiday hubbub when youre runningaround looking for the perfect gift. Whil

the holidays can be expensive, there arways to save. Firestone Complete AutCare offers the following tips to help yousave money at the gas pump so you canfocus on your holiday celebrations.

Slow Down and Get Some AirVehicles use less fuel the slower theytravel. While staying within the speedlimits, try dropping your highway speedby 10 mph to see big savings at thpump.Calm down. According to the U.S.Department of Energy, aggressivdriving can lower your gas mileage by

33 percent on the highway and bypercent in the city.

Fuel UpBuy the right fuel. Look in your vehiclesowners manual for the correct octanlevel for your vehicles engine. Oddsare that it will be regular unleaded,since fewer than 5 percent of thvehicles on the road require the use opremium fuel.

Drop Some PoundsExtra weight in your vehicle makes iwork harder, hence less fuel mileage.

According to the U.S. Department oEnergy, an extra 100 pounds in the ca

can reduce a vehicles fuel economyby up to 2 percent. If you have a trunkfull of junk, empty it out for better fueleconomy.

The holiday season can stretch youwallet pretty thin. By following just a fesmall steps, youll have more to spend onholiday festivities.

BE PREPARED! BACK-

TO-SCHOOL TIME IS LICE

SEASON

(NewsUSA) - Parents need to be preparedfor back-to-school season as 85 percenof all school districts report at least onoutbreak a year. The Centers for DiseasControl and Prevention states that mosof the 12 million cases occur in preschooland elementary-school-aged children.

Fortunately, parents can now help tprevent head lice using natural, safe andeffective ingredients. A recent study by FairyTales Hair Care showed that rosemary,citronella, tea tree and lavender oils werover 93 percent effective in preventinghead lice. Daily use of shampoos andsprays help keep the fragrance fresh onthe childs hair and keep lice away.

In addition to natural products, Fairy

Tales recommends the following tips:Explain to your children to never sharhats, combs, pillows, ear buds o

helmets. Keep long hair up in a pony

tail or braid.

Lice like clean hair -- not dirty! Dont

shampoo every day, and use products

to coat the hair shaft making it hard for

a louse to attach to it.

Do weekly head checks. Sit undera bright light and comb through tiny

sections of the hair -- focusing on the

hot spots, such as the back of neck,

behind ears and the part lines. Nits

(eggs) will be grayish in color and glued

? inch from the top of the hair shaft. If

it is hard to remove, it is a nit and not

dandruff.

Lice-removal treatments are now

available that are more effective and

safer than traditional over-the-counter

products. Enzymes dissolve the nit

glue so eggs/nits wash out easily

and kill live bugs on contact. Enzymes

work on the new breed of super lice

as well. Lice Good-Bye can be usedrepeatedly, allowing parents to safely

remove lice and get children back to

school quickly and lice free.

BALANCING ACT: TIPS

FOR ADULT LEARNERS

JUGGLING THE

RESPONSIBILITIES OF

WORK AND

(NewsUSA) - Balancing work and the

commitment of earning an advanceddegree can be daunting. But it is a reality

many adult learners face as they continue

their education while juggling personal,

family and financial responsibilities.

The good news is that there are many

tips and resources available to help ease

stress and make balancing work and

school manageable.1. Capitalize on flexible class

scheduling. An increasing number of

colleges and universities are tailoring

education to suit working students

schedules. DeVry University, for example,

offers flexible scheduling in a mix and

match format that allows students to

enroll in a combination of onsite or online

courses during the day or evening, based

on convenience.

2. Make a schedule and stay

organized. A calendar that outlines

upcoming work and school projects,

meetings and deadlines takes little time to

create and can make a busy schedule feel

under control.Time management is an essential

quality and core competency for most

professionals, and this will be a good

test of ones mettle, explained Jeffrey

Greenberg, director of career services for

DeVry University. This skill gets easier

over time and will ensure that your work

does not pile up, preventing you from

meeting deadlines.

3. Address your stress. The weight of

multiple obligations can be overwhelming.

Its important to take breaks to obtain a

fresh perspective. Exercise and social

interaction provide the perfect opportunity

to relieve stress and refocus your thoughts,

allowing you to return to coursework with aclear mind and renewed sense of energy.

4. Take advantage of your schools

resources. The network of classmates and

professors your school offers can provide

support and advice for balancing work and

school. The economic recession has led

many schools to launch career services

departments or strengthen existing ones.5. Create a support network.

Harness the support of friends and family,

and see if they can help you accomplish

your goals. This support could be

something as simple as meeting with a

roommate to plan household chores or

meals for the month.

It is important to remember that the

hard work and sacrifice required to

balance work and school often lead to

career success.

ALWAYS THE

BRIDESMAID? YOU CAN

WEAR THE DRESSES

AGAIN

(NewsUSA) - And youll be able to

wear it again! is a phrase often used

around bridesmaids dresses. Because a

ridiculously expensive lime-green taffeta

shepherdess gown is appropriate for

almost any occasion, and the Peter Pan

collar is poised to make a comeback any

century now.

If youre one of the many women who

has piles of Pepto-Bismol-colored ruffles

stuffed in the back of her closet, never fear

-; you will be able to wear that dress again.

Host an old bridesmaids dress party, and

the good times may even blot out the

embarrassment of having had to wear tha

dress in the first place.

Where to start? The concept is simple

-- invite all of your girlfriends over, and

tell them to wear their most hideous

bridesmaid dress. Not only will you ge

to rewear the bridesmaids dresses oweddings past, youll also get to laugh a

some of the more hideous outfits. Note:

if you were a bridesmaid at a friends

wedding, either dont invite her or try not to

wear the dress she chose, even if it does

include a tutu and puffed sleeves.

Adding an inexpensive spin to classic

elegance is the way to go. Skip the chips

and dip in favor of a fruit-and-cheese platter.

For a refreshing twist on champagne,

the traditional wedding libation, pick up

a few bottles of a fruit-flavored sparkling

wine. Arbor Mist (arbormist.com), which is

known for fruit and wine combinations like

Strawberry White Zinfandel and Blackberry

Merlot, has recently released a line osparkling wines. Both the Peach Sparkle

and the Raspberry Sparkle combine ligh

and crisp sparkling wine with natural fruit,

creating the perfect refreshment for a get-

together with your girlfriends.

For entertainment, ask each woman to

tell the story behind her bridesmaid dress.

You can also have fun playing a wedding-

themed round of Pictionary or charades.

You can also hold a vote to find out, for

once and for all, which one of you had to

endure the wearing the worst bridesmaid

dress.

wines, visit www.arbormist.com.
