on Wednesday.Two Japanese teenagers posed for pic-
tures and clowned around in firefightinggarb at the fire station. And several had funpoking at a live lobster in the seafood de-partment at Meijer.
Yuka, who was paired with 13-year-oldSarah Barry, said she’d like to become a di-etician or a chef.
Her take on American food: The por-tions are much larger than in Japan..
“But she said she is trying very hard toeat everything she is served,” interpreterTom Barr said.
Visit: DeWitt school continues exchange programSarah, who will stay with Yuka’s family
in Japan in May, said she enjoyed “thebeats” in Japanese music and especially ap-preciates Japanese fashion.
“It’s been really fun,” Sarah said. “Theparty we had on Saturday night was sup-posed to end at 10 p.m. but we danced until11 p.m.,” she said.
Micah Cousins teaches Japanese at thejunior high and has played a key role inorganizing the student swap for the pastthree years. He said the exchange is a goodway for students to practice what they’velearned.
“Our students have to take two Japa-nese classes (before participating in theprogram),” he said.
The student exchange is part of a longrelationship between Michigan and ShigaPrefecture in central Japan, said Barr, anAnn Arbor native who now lives in Japan.Adult exchanges between the two sisterstates date back more than 40 years, hesaid.
Koka was formed by a merger of fivetowns spanning a large area in a mountain-ous region that includes Lake Biwa, Japan’slargest lake, he said. The city has a popula-tion of about 95,000, he said.
Another contingent of Japanese ex-change students were in Marshall last week,he said. Traverse City also participates in astudent exchange, he said.

There are risks factors for disease. Some, like
genetics and age are beyond your control, but
others, like diet and lifestyle, are up to you.
If you want to reduce your risk of cancer, consider
maintaining a healthy weight and eating a colorful
diet.
A variety of colored nutrients (called phytochemicals or
antioxidants) found primarily in plants appear to protect
the body against the normal damage that occurs to
tissues every day. Because such damage is associated
with an increased cancer risk, people who eat a diet rich
in fruits and vegetables have a lower risk of developing
certain types of cancers. Studies on weight also show
that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with
better weight maintenance.
Millions of Americans try vitamin and antioxidant
supplements in hopes of preventing disease, but there is
no evidence that supplements reduce cancer risk. It is
likely that whole foods contain important, but as yet
unidentified components that are not included in
supplements. Taking excess supplements, in some
cases, can be harmful.
The American Cancer Society recommends eating at
least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. A
serving is considered ½ cup or a piece of fruit about the
size of a tennis ball. A variety provides an assortment of
protective phytochemicals and antioxidants such as:
% Beta-carotene, found in many foods that are orange
in color, including sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe,
winter squash, apricots, pumpkin, papaya and mangos.
Some green, leafy vegetables, including collard greens,
spinach, and kale, also are rich in beta-carotene.
% Lutein, best known for its association with healthy
eyes, is abundant in green, leafy vegetables such as
collard greens, spinach and kale.
$ '2*/0+.+ is a potent antioxidant found in tomatoes,
$ (,1)-,. % is found in high abundance in many fruits
and vegetables such as oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes,
strawberries, peppers and baked potatoes.
$ (,1)-,. & is found in nuts, especially hazelnuts and
almonds, vegetable oils, wheat germ, seeds,
whole-grain products and peanut butter.
So try eating your way to a healthier you. If nothing else,
you’ll feel good and have a little extra spring in your step
for 2011.
A colorful dietmight saveyour life.

Hearing Starts Here.Do you need to ask people to repeat themselves?Do you turn up the TV louder than others to hear it?Do you have to strain to understand conversations?
Editor’s note: This isthe first part of a two-partseries.
Are you interested in re-ceiving complete and un-pretentious love? Adopt apet! No matter the species,breed, gender, or age you’relikely to experience bliss!
In exchange, for theirlove you assume a signif-icant amount of responsi-bility. You are accountablefor all aspects of their life.This includes the obviousfood, water and housing.Other less obvious con-cerns include: an annualcomprehensive physicalexamination, heartworm,intestinal parasite and fleacontrol, immunizations,spaying or neutering, train-ing, exercise and bathingor grooming. By the way,you are also accountablefor any damage they do.
Then there are the inev-itable emergencies. Is theirdigestive upset the resultof eating something theyshouldn’t have? The con-sequences of chasing carsmay be very bad! Did yourbud mess with the neigh-bor’s territorial warlordand end up with bitewounds? Does you cat havean interest in fishing?
Messing with the line orworse yet lures may becatastrophic. There arecountless other unforeseencalamities lurking in yourpet’s future. Will you havethe financial ability to seeto their routine care andemergency needs? I will gointo more detail concern-ing costs associated withpet care in part II.
The love you receive inreturn for the attention youshow them comes in manyforms. Sometimes it’s assimple as their presence atyour side. This is huge, es-pecially when it seems asthough no one else reallycares. It can be an expres-sion on their face. It’s ob-vious to you, even thoughno one else sees it. It mightbe a gentle paw touchingyour cheek. Maybe you finda wet nose bumping yourhand as you try to typeon the keyboard (like I ampresently experiencing).
Many dogs show theiraffection by licking. This is

their way of giving you akiss. They don’t necessar-ily care what part of youranatomy they lick, hand,leg or face, it’s all the sameto them. At times they mayeven lick an area whereyou’ve been sitting. It’s justtheir way of telling howmuch you mean to them.
Affectionate cats andkittens often rub up againstyou and purr. At times theirpurring is so loud peoplesitting in the next room canhear it. A possibly both-ersome way cats show af-fection is with little “lovebites”. They catch youoff guard as your earlobesand noses are pinched withtheir sharp little teeth.
Walking with your dogor playing fetch with ei-ther your kitty or your dogcan be delightful! Some en-joy a slow methodical pacewhile others would muchrather run. Start out witha reasonable distance in-creasing each time untilyou have reached a pointwhere the both of you aresatisfied. Playing fetch isa great way for seniors toentertain their furry friend.
Dogs like fetching Fris-bees, balls and the like.Cats enjoy going afterstring things. Just be cer-tain that they don’t swal-low the string!
Once a pet enters yourhome they’re going to bethere for a good manyyears. Much like little peo-ple, they need to eat yet areunable to open the “frig”.As such, they are 100 per-cent reliant on those whocare for them. Your re-sponsibility as owner andcaregiver is quite simplebut not inexpensive. Theywill impact your budget inmany ways. Please consid-er this prior to adding apet to your family.
In Part II I will addressthe cost of keeping a pethealthy and disease free.

I think everyone has hada Walter Mitty type dreamabout being an astronaut.Usually in about 10 minutesreality sets in. If you want toknow some fun facts aboutliving and working in outerspace, “Packing for Mars”by Mary Roach is a wonder-fully detailed book. She ob-viously spent many hoursresearching her subject andwas allowed access to a va-riety of scientists and as-tronauts. She writes with abrevity and humor that pro-tect the reader from bore-dom as they learn to thinkabout life in space in waysthat they may have neverconsidered.
“Packing for Mars” fo-cuses on the ways thatNASA has solved problemscreated by long term space
flight. There are so manyproblems that many of ushave never even imaginedexisted. The basic humanfunctions are far more chal-lenging in space. When thespace program first began,the effects of living withoutgravity was not well under-stood so parabolic flightswere used to test the zerogravity effect on many itemsand people. Parabolic flightinvolves sending a planeinto sharp climbs and dives.This enables passengers toexperience zero gravity foralmost a full minute. So
much thought and researchmust be put into eating andgoing to the bathroom, andjust simply being comfort-able for long periods oftime. When the space pro-gram first started, the timein space was measured inhours, but with space labs,people spend months inzero gravity.
The book is both amus-ing and interesting becauseMs. Roach asks some pottymouth questions that mightnot get posted on a NASAwebsite. She details theshame and regret of the as-tronaut who felt that he hadended his space flight ca-reer by vomiting profuselyduring his first mission. Shealso dared to ask if anyastronauts had joined the“mile high plus” club and
Novel offers interesting facts about space programcame to the conclusion thatthere must be a “don’t ask,don’t tell” policy in outerspace.
The next challenge thatNASA faces is the possibil-ity of travel to Mars orfurther. How can travelersbe kept sane and comfort-
able during years of spacetravel? Ms. Roach even in-vestigates recycling bodyby-products in her searchfor the science of beyond.Personal hygiene presentsproblems when every dropof water will float into thespace capsule. Now scien-
tists need to consider sus-tainable ways to feed thetravelers. Can they growveggies or keep cows orchickens?

ST. JOHNS — This sea-son’s DeWitt girls basket-ball team isn’t going tointimidate anyone from asize perspective - and espe-cially not a team strong inthe post like St. Johns.
But the Panthers stillhave a reputation and anundefeated record to up-hold.
As has been the case thepast few seasons, DeWittwas at a definite size dis-advantage against the Red-wings. And this time, thePanthers also played thefinal few minutes withouttheir all-state guard.
only kept the Panthers un-defeated, but gave St. Johnsits first loss of the seasonJan. 11. DeWitt is rankedNo. 3 in Class B and St.Johns is No. 9 in Class A.
“It’s great to show every-body who we are, and thiswas a great win to show
what we’re about,” DeWittsenior forward StephanieTwait said. “Every year, De-Witt is a team people knowabout, and we have to liveup to that every year.”
The tallest player for thePanthers is 5-foot-9, com-pared to St. Johns’ 6-foot
juniors Jordyn Nurenbergand Alex Hallenbeck.
Though Nurenberg had12 rebounds, Hallenbeckhad seven and senior guardAmanda Glowacki had 10,the Redwings outrebound-ed the Panthers just 37-33thanks to at least five
rebounds each by fourDeWitt players. Six Pan-thers grabbed at least threeboards.
Returning all-state guardDena Droste had six re-bounds, and she alsoscored a game-high 17points. But nearly as im-
pressive as the close re-bounding margin was howher teammates handledthings when Droste fouledout with 2:22 to play.
DeWitt led 38-31 at thatpoint and hit its final six

free throws while holding St. Johns to3 for 12 shooting during that closingstretch.
“A whole lot of things happened thatweren’t in the game plan,” DeWitt coachBill McCullen said. “But I was reallyproud of the kids who played down thestretch. They had to make plays theyaren’t used to making at crunch time.I’ve got a lot of confidence in my seniorkids.”
St. Johns (7-1) outscored DeWitt 26-22during the second half. But the wakeupcame too late after the Redwings scoredjust three points during the first quarter.
Glowacki was the catalyst of the come-
back and finished with 16 points, all ofthem coming during the final three quar-ters.
“I think they made us play a littlequicker or made us feel like we had toplay a little quicker than we wanted to,”St. Johns coach Mark Lasceski said. “Wejust scrambled for the ball trying to getour feet under ourselves.”
The Panthers were coming off a 70-36drubbing of CAAC Gold Division rivalFowlerville Jan. 7.
Droste led the Panthers with 18 points.Anna Hogg scored 10 points and pulleddown eight rebounds. Kayla Hanses add-ed eight points. Kait VanderMaas had sixpoints.
