Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm has proclaimed October as

“Michigan Car-Deer Crash Safety Awareness Month.”
In Michigan in 2009 there were 61,486 reported car-deer crashes with 10 motorists killed and 1,648
injured. About 80 percent of all car-deer crashes take place on two-lane roads between dusk and dawn.
(Of the reported car-deer accidents Kent County is number one and Montcalm County is number five in
the state’s highest accident rate).
What can you do?
• Stay aware, awake, alert, and sober.
• Remember, safety belts are your best defense in any collision.
• Be alert for deer in spring and fall, especially at dawn and dusk.
• Heed deer crossing and speed limit signs, particularly on two-lane roads.
If a crash is unavoidable:
• Don’t swerve!
• Brake firmly
• Hold on to the steering wheel.
• Stay in your lane.
• Bring you vehicle to a controlled stop.
We at Hill’s Body Shop have noticed an increase in deer hits in the month of October through December
and a big surge directly after the time change, because more people are still on the road at sunset.
If you have had the misfortune of hitting a deer, Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. is here to help restore your ve-
hicle to its pre-accident condition. Your insurance company may refer you to one of their “preferred”
repair facilities. These body shops have an agreement with your insurance company to keep down the
cost of your vehicle repair in exchange for referrals. We believe it’s not in your best interest to take
your vehicle to these contracted repair shops. We believe safety and quality should come before cost,
whereas these “preferred” shops seem to put cost before quality and safety. We believe it to be unethical
to cheapen your vehicle repair to save your insurance company money. You’re our customer, not your
insurance company’s. Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. has always and will always provide the finest repairs avail-
able regardless of DRP contracts.
For more information about what you can do to avoid a car-deer accident and what to do if you do have
a car-deer accident, please visit our website http://www.hillsbodyshop.com/

have “the Flu”. To be technical, that is not accurate and I will explain why. Bulbs!
The Flu is a viral infection of the respiratory system caused by the influenza virus. It usually begins in the nose and
spreads to the lungs causing a cough. The purpose of the cough is to clear infected mucous out of the bronchioles
DreamLand
(breathing tubes in the lungs). Sometimes the cough may cause a person to gag and vomit. The major symptoms
of the flu are fever, chills, body aches, congestion, cough, weakness, and headache. This may last 4-14 days.
Complications include dehydration, pneumonia, and organ failure in weakened patients. Some people die every
year from these complications of the flu.
Gastro-enteritis (means inflammation of the stomach and intestines) is the medical term most used for vomiting.
This is also usually caused by a virus that affects the upper digestive system. It may be followed by diarrhea. In some
Tanning & Fitness
cases there are mild fever and chills, but usually not severe. Most of the time, these symptoms last only 24-48 hours.
The vomiting is actually an attempt by the body to eliminate the virus that is causing the illness. Dehydration can

occur, especially in children and the elderly, but serious complications are rare. 222 N. Ensley • Howard City
Flu shots do not prevent gastro-enteritis. They can prevent Influenza, although they do not always work. Since Next to White’s Bargain House
it take 5-6 months to manufacture the vaccine, sometimes the virus mutates between
the time samples are collected to make the vaccine and the time of you get the flu shot. 231-937-6610
Although you cannot get the actual flu from a flu shot, you can get a reaction, which feels
exactly like the flu. This causes some people to be afraid of the vaccine.
AUCTION
Good hygiene with hand washing with regular soap and water does a lot for preventing
both flu and gastro-enteritis. Covering your cough and coughing into a tissue or into your
sleeve is a way to reduce the spread of flu. Not sharing food, utensil, tooth brushes, etc.
is helpful to reduce the spread of gastro-enteritis.
Natural treatment is best. Suppressive treatment may actually extend the illness. For
the flu, use homeopathic Gelsemium and Oscillococcinum. For gastro-enteritis, use
homeopathic Ipecac for vomiting and Podophyllum for diarrhea. These treatments
compliment the natural healing process and speed recovery nicely. Antique Car • Saw Mill • Motorhome
