HANGING UP HIS BADGE: developed a minimum criteria.
SHERIFF JOHN SONNTAG
RETIRES AFTER 30 Any applicants for the position
should have all the qualifications
YEARS
BIG RAPIDS — After 30 years
in law enforcement, Mecosta
County Sheriff John Sonntag
is hanging up his badge and
looking forward to retirement.
Sonntag, 60, publicly announced
his retirement Wednesday,
saying he felt the timing was
right.
“The county’s been very good
to me and my family as we’ve
gone through the years and the
citizens have been very good to
our office and if I can’t give them
150 percent, it’s time for me to
move on and let someone else
give 150 percent,” Sonntag told
the Pioneer.
His official last day doesn’t
come until Oct. 15, but said he’s
looking forward to spending time
with his wife and traveling — two
things he hasn’t had much time
to do in his 30 years on the job.
“I’ve had several people say,
‘You’re the best sheriff we’ve
ever had,’ and that is simply
not the truth,” Sonntag said.
“I’ve been so fortunate and
blessed to be surrounded by
good people. We have a lot of
true professionals at the sheriff’s
office, in corrections and on
the road and that has made my
job so much easier and, quite
frankly, made me look good.”
Applications for the next sheriff
will be accepted at the Mecosta
County Clerk’s Office until the
Aug. 26. Once all applications
are in, the new sheriff will be
selected by a three-person
committee composed of Cheif
Probate Court Judge Marco
S. Menezes, Mecosta County
Prosecutor Peter Jaklevic and
Mecosta County Clerk Marcee
Purcell. The panel then will
appoint someone to serve the
remainder of Sonntag’s term,
which ends in 2012, Purcell said.
The statute that specifically
dictates who will choose the next
sheriff is not specific about how
a new sheriff should be chosen,
Jaklevic said, but the panel has
MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 2010 • TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER 5
necessary to be elected sheriff,
including being a registered voter
in Mecosta County, as well as
at least five years experience in
law enforcement. Administrative
experience is preferred.
The panel will begin going over
applications and interviewing
candidates for the position the
week after Labor Day, Jaklevic
said. When the panel met on
Tuesday to discuss the hiring
process, panel members said
they expected many applications
to come from within the Mecosta
County Sheriff’s Department.
Jaklevic said he is sad to see
Sonntag retire.
“He’s a great guy to work with,”
Jaklevic said. “I’ve been working
with him for many, many years.
Everybody who knows him says
he’s a great guy.”
DON’T BE LEFT HIGH
AND DRY IN THE
DOCTOR’S OFFICE: TIPS
FOR TALKING TO YOUR
DOCTOR
(NewsUSA) - “I drink a lot of
liquids, and my mouth still feels
dry.” “Sometimes, chewing,
swallowing and even talking can
be challenging.” “I brush, I floss
and I still keep getting cavities.”
“I’m embarrassed to bring up
these symptoms to my doctor.
How serious could dry mouth
really be?” If this sounds like you,
talk to your doctor. While dry
mouth may seem manageable
on your own, it could be more
serious than you think. In many
instances, poor oral health
can be an indication of a more
serious medical condition.
“Any time you notice changes to
your health or body, it’s important
to talk to your doctor because
no symptom is insignificant,”
says Dr. Michael Brennan,
DDS, MHS, Director of the
Sj?gren’s Syndrome and Salivary
Disorders Center at Carolinas
Medical Center in Charlotte, N.C.
“Many patients ignore symptoms
like dry mouth because they think
they aren’t important, but they
could be critical in diagnosing a
systemic condition. Some of my
patients, for example, simply try
to drink more water and don’t talk
about their dry mouth, which is a
hallmark symptom of Sj?gren’s
syndrome,” Dr. Brennan says.
Sj?gren’s syndrome, a chronic
autoimmune disorder where
the immune cells attack and
destroy moisture-producing
glands, affects up to four million
Americans -- but most people
have never heard of it. In fact,
the average time from onset of
symptoms to diagnosis is almost
seven years. One reason for
the delay in diagnosis may be
that patients wait months (and
sometimes even years!) before
discussing their symptoms with
their doctors. A diagnosis can
be challenging, too, because
Sj?gren’s symptoms may
mimic those of other medical
conditions and can vary from
person to person. Additionally,
patients may not connect their
symptoms, like cavities or
cracked lips, with feelings of
dry mouth, which means they
may not be describing their dry-
mouth symptoms accurately or
thoroughly when they finally do
speak to a physician.
“If patients speak up sooner and
give an accurate account of all
of their symptoms, their doctors
can address those symptoms
and recommend a treatment plan
earlier,” Dr. Brennan adds.
To make the most of your
conversations with your doctor,
make sure you are prepared for
each visit by using the following
tips:
* Be prepared to explain your
dry-mouth symptoms in detail,
including how they affect your
daily activities (e.g., eating at a
restaurant, public speaking).
* Tell your doctor if you’ve
been taking any over-the-
counter products, lozenges, or
other treatments. How you’re
managing your symptoms now
can help your doctor determine
a treatment plan that’s right for
you.
* Be honest! The more accurate
information your doctor has, the
more he or she can help you.
* Ask questions and take notes
during the discussion.
* Leave with a plan of action
to manage your symptoms,
including follow-up appointments
or additional tests.
If you are experiencing dry-
mouth symptoms, talk to your
health care professional.

symptoms, testing and diagnosis
of Sj?gren’s syndrome, visit

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 qualified
specialist 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.
6
00264483 TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER • MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 2010

Most often, vascular surgeons
manage conditions with
medication. Some conditions can
be corrected with non-invasive
procedures that offer good
results and quick recovery. Only
in the most severe cases is open
surgery required.
Today’s 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.
To learn more about your
vascular health and to find
a vascular surgeon, visit the

Web site at www.VascularWeb.

know some basic facts about
your car and what makes it work.
Hybrid cars use two separate
engines for propulsion, usually
an electric motor and a gasoline-
powered engine. And while
auto companies usually act as
if hybrids are all the same, they
come in three main forms: series
hybrids, plug-ins and parallel
hybrids.
Series hybrids use an electric
motor to power a car’s
movement -- the gas engine just
recharges the electric battery.
In plug-in hybrids, the electric
engine’s battery can be charged
directly through an electric
outlet. The car is propelled by
the electric motor alone, and
most plug-ins also include a
combustion engine for battery
regeneration.
In parallel hybrids, the
electric motor and the internal
combustion engine can work
both individually or in unison,
powering the vehicle for peak
performance.
For example, Porsche, a
company known for building
high-performance cars, has
developed two completely
different hybrid systems -- one
for the racetrack and one for the
road. The road-going vehicle,
the Cayenne S Hybrid, uses
an advanced full parallel hybrid
design with the electric motor
between the combustion engine
and the transmission.
The Cayenne S Hybrid, a high-
performance SUV, is as fast
as the V8-powered Cayenne,
but is the most fuel-efficient
version in the model line-up.
The 47 horsepower electric
motor is an ideal partner for the
333 horsepower supercharged
engine, providing a considerable
amount of high torque at low
speeds. When working in unison,
the two units deliver a maximum
system output of 380 brake
horsepower and a peak torque of
427 pounds per foot at just 1,000
revolutions per minute.
Given a reserved, moderate
style of motoring, for example,
in a residential area, the Hybrid
Manager allows the driver to
cover short distances on electric
power alone and therefore
absolutely free of emissions,
driving at speeds of up to nearly
40 mph. The combustion engine
may be completely switched
off at speeds of up to 97 mph,
being fully disengaged from
the drivetrain when no further
power is required. In this so-
called “sailing mode,” the drag
forces exerted by the combustion
engine are eliminated in the
interest of lower drive resistance
and fuel consumption. The
Cayenne S Hybrid is the only
hybrid capable of this driving
mode.

The lifespan of an electrical system is 30 to 40 years. But more
than 30% of the nation’s houses—some 30 million homes—are
more than 50 years old. “Older homes with fuses were set up
for about 30 amps of power; many homes now have 100, 150,
even 200 amps of power,” says John Drengenberg, consumer
safety director for Underwriters Laboratories, which conducted
a study of aging residential wiring.
Warning signs of inadequate power include circuit breakers
that trip or fuses that blow repeatedly, and an over-reliance on
extension cords. “They’re meant to be temporary,” Drengenberg
says. “If you have extension cords routed all over, it’s time to get
an electrician out there. Your home would not comply with the
National Electrical Code.”
Hidden danger #2: Aluminum wiring
Many houses built in the 1960s and early 1970s have aluminum
Association. It doesn’t take much to cause an arc fault. You could
damage wiring inside the wall when hanging a cabinet, a piece
of furniture could cut through a cord, or there may be a loose
connection in an outlet.
The resulting arc, capable of producing heat in excess of 10,000
degrees F, can be nearly impossible to detect. But arc faults are
preventable. A device called an arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI)
senses these dangerous abnormalities in wiring or appliances
and shuts down the circuit before it overheats. The Electrical
Safety Foundation International estimates that the use of AFCIs
could prevent 50% to 75% of fires caused by arc faults.
AFCIs are now required on circuits covering most general living
areas in new houses. (Note: These are not the same as ground-
fault circuit interrupters, or GFCIs, which are used in kitchens,
baths, and other wet areas to prevent electrical shocks.) But
says Brett Brenner, president of the Electrical Safety Foundation
International. “They’re putting a lot of people at risk.”
Your best bet is to buy electrical products only from reputable
retailers who will take things back if they don’t work. And look
