EASTER ACTIVITIES
ROUNDUP
FROM STAFF REPORTS
MECOSTA COUNTY — For
many, Easter is the time to
celebrate the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. But for children,
Easter is a time to hunt for
candy-filled eggs, put up
decorations and visit with the
Easter Bunny.
This Easter weekend, the Easter
Bunny will be found at several
Easter egg hunts across the
area.
Big Rapids
Phone Directory Services will
host its annual Easter Egg
Hunt at 11 a.m. on Saturday
at Hemlock Park. Children are
asked to bring their own Easter
basket for collecting eggs. The
event is geared for children ages
11 and younger. The egg hunt
will be moved to the Big Rapids
Middle School in the case of
inclement weather.
The Easter Bunny will be
available for photos before
and after the hunt. Parents are
encouraged to bring their own
cameras.
For more information, contact
PDS at (231) 592-8365.
Reed City
The Reed City Moose Lodge No.
705 will host its annual Ike Reed
Easter Egg Hunt at 1 p.m. on
Saturday at Rambadt Park. The
hunt is geared toward children
ages 10 and younger. Cookies
and punch will be available
following the hunt, and the
Easter Bunny will be available for
photos.
For more information about the
hunt, contact the Moose Lodge
at (231) 832-2561.
Stanwood
A community Easter Egg Hunt is
scheduled at 1 p.m. on Saturday
at the Outback Lodge and
Equestrian Center in Stanwood.
The hunt will be by age groups in
the yard and woods behind the
lodge. Lodge owner Sue Parker
expects about 100 children from
across the county to participate
in the event.
Games for children, a hay maze,
a ranch animal petting zoo and
wagon, pony and horseback
rides also are scheduled. All
activities are free, but there will
be a charge for horseback trail
rides. Donations will be accepted
to benefit therapeutic riding
programs at the ranch.
“We do this because we like
to have all the kids meet our
animals to start off the spring,”
Parker said. “This brings the
MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2011 • TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER 5
community together for a fun
time. ... It’s good for families to
get out and do stuff together.”
For more information about the
egg hunt at the Outback Lodge,

TIPS FOR INDEPENDENT
LIVING AFTER 70
(NewsUSA) - You love your
home and don’t want to leave it,
but your children are concerned
and keep mentioning assisted
living. So, how can you maintain
your independence while
assuring your kids that you’re
fine on your own?
Many people are capable of
living on their own in their
seventies and beyond -- with a
few small adjustments to their
lifestyles and living areas. Here
are some suggestions:
* Get prescription medications
without leaving your home.
Ordering medications through a
mail service or online pharmacy
can save you time and money,
as well as help you avoid runs
to the pharmacy. Just make sure
that you receive medications
from a reputable drugstore. Look
for one that’s located in the U.S.,
requires prescriptions and is
licensed by its state’s board of
pharmacy. Your local drug store
may also allow you to order
online.
* Get meals delivered. If
shopping and cooking become
a struggle, fresh-made meals
delivered to your door can help
you get affordable, nutritious
food without relying on a
caretaker. One service, Mom’s
Meals, can deliver to any
location, from a city apartment
to an isolated farmhouse, and
offers personal attention on the
phone.
The company crafts dishes to
please every palate and can
accommodate diabetics and
vegetarians, as well as others
with special dietary needs.
Special packaging ensures that
meals, which range from mini
pancakes with an omelet and
turkey sausage to meat lasagna,
remain fresh in the fridge for
up to two weeks. Visit www.
momsmeals.com or call 866-971-
6667 to speak with a personal
representative.
* Make homes safer. Certain
changes to the home can make
it safer and more comfortable
to navigate, such as installing
hand grips in the bathroom to
lend extra support. Door knobs
can be replaced with levers,
and cabinets and drawers can
be given larger handles. Loose
carpeting should be fixed, and
clutter should be removed, as
both can easily cause falls.
ILLUMINATE YOUR HOME
THEATER WITH EASY
LIGHTING TWEAKS
(NewsUSA) - The term “home
theater” used to mean a
small room designated for the
enjoyment of watching movies.
Then gigantic flat screens and
HD technology came along, and
the video game industry upped
the ante with Xbox, PlayStation
and Wii products that appealed
to every age group. With so
many different uses, the home
theater has morphed into an
auxiliary family room.
How can one room be made
flexible enough to suit all of
the activities performed there?
Easy! According to the American
Lighting Association (ALA) all
you need to do is make a few
tweaks in your lighting to satisfy
the sports fan, the electronic
game player and the movie buff.
“The affordability and popularity
of big-screen TVs, high-quality
sound and home entertainment
systems has created many
opportunities for using
specialized lighting to enhance
the experience,” says architect
Joe Rey-Barreau, education
consultant for the ALA and
an associate professor at the
University of Kentucky’s School
of Interior Design.
Whether your home theater
is part of new construction or
a remodeling project, think
in layers. According to Rey-
Barreau, a lighting layer is
6
00406566 TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER • MONDAY, APRIL 25, 2011

defined as a specific type of
fixture that is unique from others
in that same area. For example,
a room that has recessed
downlights, a decorative fixture
in the center of the room, plus
wall sconces on one wall would
be defined as having three
layers. Each of the three types
of fixtures would be controlled by
separate switches and dimmers.
“The objective of using layers
is to create lighting options for
different tasks and activities
in that space,” Rey-Barreau
explains. The ideal lighting for
the entire family to watch a full-
length movie in the evening
might be with the recessed
lighting turned off and the
decorative lighting at the ceiling
and the wall sconces dimmed
to a low level. If the kids are
watching cartoons or playing
video games, Rey-Barreau
advises turning on the recessed
lighting to the maximum output,
and turning off the decorative
lighting.
To learn more about how to
light your home theater or
family movie room properly,
visit your local ALA-member
lighting showroom. Go to
the ALA’s website at www.
americanlightingassoc.com to
find a store near you.
5 TIPS FOR IBS RELIEF
(NewsUSA) - As many as 50
million Americans suffer from the
cramping, bloating, constipation
and diarrhea that go along
with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
According to the International
Foundation for Functional
Gastrointestinal Disorders, the
digestive disorder mainly targets
women: Between 60 and 65
percent of sufferers are female.
Despite the overwhelming
number of Americans affected,
there is no cure for IBS. But
while no magic pill exists, the
best way to treat IBS symptoms
is through tried-and-true methods
of healthy eating, exercise, and
stress management. Here are
five simple ways to ease your
suffering:
Keep a food diary. Many
people find that their signs and
symptoms worsen when they
eat certain foods. For instance,
chocolate, milk and alcohol might
cause constipation or diarrhea.
Keeping a food diary for a few
weeks may be a good way to
find out if a food bothers you.
Record what you eat and what
your symptoms are. If you notice
a pattern or think a food makes
you feel worse, don’t eat it.
Fiber up. Increasing fiber into
your diet may help improve how
your intestines work. The key
is to do it slowly: Some people
feel bloated and have gas if they
increase their fiber intake too
quickly. The best way to increase
your fiber intake is to eat a wide
variety of high-fiber foods like
beans, oatmeal, popcorn and
whole-wheat bread.
Manage your stress. Many IBS
sufferers feel that stress seems
to trigger IBS episodes. Identify
certain events or situations that
bring on symptoms, and develop
ways of dealing with these
situations. An activity like yoga
or hypnosis can provide a break
from stressful situations, and
psychiatrists and psychologists
can provide additional methods
for coping with stress.
Get moving. A recent report
in the American Journal of
Gastroenterology found that
IBS sufferers who did moderate
activity three to five times per
week for 20 to 30 minutes a
session experienced greater
symptom relief.
Add a supplement. For most
patients, the best therapy for
IBS is the most simple. A recent
study in the British Medical
Journal found that peppermint oil
was the most effective therapy
for IBS, providing relief for 40
percent of patients. The dietary
supplement Complete Relief
has harnessed the power of
peppermint, creating softgels
that effectively relieve discomfort.
Complete Relief stands out
from other peppermint products
because of its “controlled-
release” coating that ensures
the full dose is not released until
the softgel has entered your
digestive tract. This is where gas
and bloating occur and where
Complete Relief begins to work.

about the consequences before they make a choice. I inspire my
