ATTENTION: Ford, Lincoln, Mercury
and Ford Truck Owners
Its a common misconception that only car dealerships can perform
the maintenance services on a new vehicle that is under warranty.
Clearly, consumers can have their maintenance done by their local
independent repair shop without affecting the warranty.

Young criminals get a new
chance
BIG RAPIDS Job seekers with aew youthful indiscretions in their pastow can request to have their criminalecords sealed if they have as manys three offenses thanks to a newmendment to a Michigan law.he new amendment allows judges toxpunge, or seal, records with up to
hree minor offenses five years afterhe offender has served his or herentence. Before Gov. Rick Snyderigned the amendment on June 30,udges could not expunge records with
ore than one minor offense.inor offenses are misdemeanors and
ordinance violations committed beforethe person turns 21 that are punishabley up to 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
They include offenses such as minor inpossession of alcohol, unlawful entry,littering and certain kinds of disorderlyconduct. Many misdemeanorsclassified as 93-day misdemeanors such as drunken driving, retail fraudr domestic violence cannot bexpunged.he change in the law will be mostelpful to people who, for example,
ight have had a series of minorffenses in their early college yearsnd are now seeking employment,
said Mecosta County Prosecutor Peteraklevic.Its expanding the courts ability to takento account the applicants good deedsr positive things hes done (since theffense), he said. It give judges theiscretion to say, Heres a guy thatas turned his life around. ... If its
nterpreted appropriately and judgesre carefully looking at applicants thatave led a lifestyle to change theirehavior, the law will work.he application process involvesetting fingerprinted by Michigan Stateolice and appearing before the judgeho reviewed the application. Therosecutor who handled the case and
he attorney general both review thepplication as well and, if they haveny objections, the prosecutor willoice them at the applicants hearing.he judge can take those objections
nto consideration, but he or she hashe final say in whether the record wille sealed.ecosta County sees between 10 and
15 expungement applications eachyear, Jaklevic said.
Even getting minor charges expungedan make a job search easier said
Michelle Herron, business services
director for Michigan Works! WestCentral.(Our clients) ask the employmentservices staff, What do I put down,
when the question Have you ever beenconvict of felony or misdemeanor?comes up, Herron said. A lot of times,its the younger crowd who dont makethe wisest choices and that can be ahindrance or barrier to employmentdown the road.With Mecosta Countys unemploymentnumbers on the rise up to 10.5percent in May from 10.1 percent in
April anything that helps peoplebecome more employable is good,Herron said.Anytime you can remove a barrier toemployment whether its criminalcharges or transportation or evenhaving the right interview outfit thatspositive, Herron said. Its a definitebenefit for the individuals who haveminor offense in their background.Jason Elmore, a Cadillac-baseddefense attorney who representsclients in Mecosta and Osceolacounties, said the change in the lawrecognizes that sometimes it takesmore than one brush with the law for aperson, especially for young people, tolearn their lesson.Criminal law recognizes certainpurposes of punishment, (including)rehabilitation, punishment,
deterrence, and restitution, Elmoresaid. Most often people focus onmerely punishment and deterrence.Rehabilitation, which is really a productof deterrence, is often forgotten. Thisamendment recognizes that youngpeople have a steeper learning curveand make stupid decisions in the nameof youth and learning. It recognizesthat good people sometimes makebad decisions.
Dont Be Caught Downwind
At Your Summer Barbecue
(NewsUSA) - A summer barbecue isone of lifes simple pleasures. Yet, toomany hot dogs, hamburgers, bakedbeans and ice cream cones can giveway to another, less-pleasant fact oflife: gas.
Indeed, daily flatulence is normal andnecessary. In fact, the average personpasses gas up to 25 times per day (thehuman body produces one to threepints daily). However, some peopleexperience more gas than others:Seventy-two percent of adults reporttheyve passed gas in public or in front
of someone else, according to a recentsurvey. Often its simply the result ofeating certain foods, including beans,cabbage, broccoli, apples, wholegrains and cheese.
No matter the cause, passing gas inpublic can be, well, embarrassing. Ifyoure planning a Labor Day or end-of-summer barbecue, use these tips toavoid being caught downwind:
Manage gas intake. Restricting yourdiet may not be the best answer tomanaging your flatulence. After all,
there are products on the marketdesigned to counteract gas-producingfoods. However, habits like eating
too quickly, chewing gum or drinkingthrough a straw can also lead toexcess gas in your bowels. So dontfret about taking your favorite foods
off the menu -- simply make sure youreating techniques are sound.
Deactivate gas. CharcoCapsHomeopathic AntiGas Formula isa natural and fast way to controlflatulence. Beyond gas generatedfrom foods addressed by other leadingnatural remedies, CharcoCaps helpsrelieve gas caused by eating dairyproducts like yogurt, proteins such asfish and foods high in fiber, like whole-wheat pizza. Its exceptionally porousmaterial allows it to adsorb a largeamount of gas for its size. Make sureto have some on hand!
Walk it off. Instead of keeping stillafter a meal, take the lead with a post-dinner stroll or a team volleyball game.Gas that sits in the bowels causesdistension and pain, so once you haveit, you might as well mobilize it.

Hybrid Cars: The
Performance Cars of the
Future
(NewsUSA) - When most people thinof hybrid cars, they imagine practical,mild-mannered vehicles. But could we
someday see hybrid racecars burningup the tracks?
In March of 2010, Porsche (www.porsche.com/usa/) unveiled threehybrids at the Geneva Auto Show: onefor the road; one for the race track;and one that is a genuine Porschesupercar. These innovative newPorsches -- the Cayenne S Hybrid, the911 GT3 R Hybrid and the 918 Spyde-- show that hybrids can be sporty, fasand powerful.
The Cayenne S, Porsches firsproduction hybrid car, features asophisticated parallel full hybrid systemwith the combined power of a 380horsepower V6 combustion engineand an electric motor. The car has thepotential to significantly enhance fueleconomy at high speeds -- when thedriver lifts off the accelerator at cruisingor highway speeds, the gasoline enginecan be switched off and disengagedfrom the drivetrain. This enables thevehicle to move without combustion oelectric power.
The GT3 Rs innovative hybridtechnology has been developed
especially for racing. The fronaxle features two powerful electrimotors that supplement the cars480 horsepower, naturally aspiratedfour-liter flat-six that drives the reawheels. Instead of the heavy batteriesfound in hybrid road cars, an electricalflywheel power generator residesnext to the driver to deliver energto the electric motors. The 911 GT3R Hybrid competed in the 24 Hourson the Nordschleife of Nrburgringin May 2010, leading for eight hoursbefore retiring after 22 hours and 1minutes for mechanical reasons. In the
2010 Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta ifinished 18th out of a starting field o41 cars.

Before Summer Fun, Make
Sure Your Vehicle Can
Handle the Heat
NewsUSA) - If you ask anyone,whether it be your friends, your
neighbors or your colleagues, all will
tell you the best things about summer
are the surf and the sun! For many of
s, a day at the beach is like a mini-
acation, but if youre not prepared,our lovely day trip can turn into your
orst nightmare! The team at Firestone
omplete Auto Care would like to offer
he following tips to get you ready for
our summer beach trips:
Make sure your vehicles fluids and
lters are fresh and the air conditioner
s working properly, as this will help
eep your vehicle cool in the summer
heat.
* Avoid overloading your vehicle, astoo much weight in the vehicle can
decrease your gas mileage and create
excessive heat inside your tires.
* When driving on sand, point your
vehicles wheels straight ahead when
starting off. This will help reduce the
effort required by your vehicle to move
forward.
* If you get stuck in the sand, reverse
out. Gently reverse on your own tracks
and then try to slowly move forward
again. Before trying to reverse out,
remove sand build-up from behind thetires or under your vehicle.
* Once you get home, remove all
traces of sand, dirt or salt from your
vehicle after a beach trip. When hosing
your vehicle, pay special attention to
areas like the mudguards and any
other nooks and crannies where sand
can get trapped.
* Make sure to check your tire pressure
on all four tires and your spare at least
once per month and before every long
trip. Be certain to keep them at the
recommended pressure level.
Firestone Complete Auto Care also
realizes that rising gas prices might keep
you and your family from embarking
on a summer road trip to the seashore.

Foreclosures Open Up New
Market
(NewsUSA) - To some, the current real
estate market looks dismal. A weak
labor market, rising mortgage rates and
high energy prices have caused many
American homeowners to lose their
properties. To others, the real estate
markets looks ripe for investment.
Deer Park Development Corporation,
a company with over 30 years of
experience in the real estate market,has developed a new approach for
investors hoping to purchase andresell foreclosed properties for profit.
Foreclosed houses sell at lower prices,
helping investors buy properties
with less money upfront. In the past,
housing prices reflected overinflation -;
as the market evens out, the mortgage
crisis might actually help stabilize
home prices.
Marty OMalley, CEO of Deer Park
Development Corporation, noted that
the current real estate market representsa once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the
astute buyer. With one in every 360
homes in foreclosure nationwide, the
opportunity to buy distressed property
at significant discounts to their original
appraisals is extensive, said OMalley.
In Clark County, Nev., one in evereighty homes is in foreclosure, and on
top of those statistics, one in every two
homes is underwater, meaning that its
not worth the amount of money owedon it.
With this amount of inventory on the
market, there are situations out there
that present themselves as profitable
ventures. Not all of the foreclosures
are money-making deals, but with
experience, professional investors
know when and what to buy, so the
can make successful ventures.
Being an individual investor in the real
estate market can be a dangerous
proposition for the inexperienced.
But investors, in tying themselves to
a group of experienced real estate
players, can use experts hard-earned
knowledge to turn a profit in the down
real estate market.
Allowing individual investors to
participate in ownership through direc
partnership creates a risk-free vehicle
for foreclosure players to work with,
said OMalley,
