RESTAURATEUR LOOKS TO
OPEN UPSCALE DINING IN
BIG RAPIDS NEXT MONTH
BIG RAPIDS — It was by chance
that restaurant-owner Brett Alward
learned the River Rock Food and
Spirits bar was for sale.
He was talking to a real estate agent
in Kalamazoo who mentioned that
the Big Rapids building was listed on
Craigslist. Looking to add another
restaurant to the one he already
owns in Grand Rapids, Alward found
the listing online and inquired about
the property, located at 230 Baldwin
St.
The deal was “too good to be true,”
he said.
“Initially, I called and was told, ‘Sorry,
it’s off the market,’ but that deal fell
through,” Alward said. “I was still
interested and we managed to get a
deal together. I love the location on
the river. ... I never thought I would
find a place on Craigslist.”
Alward, business partner Chris
Mullins and a private investor
brokered a deal to purchase the
property in November. Alward and
Mullins have a three-and-a-half-year
lease on the building, with the option
to buyout the investor at the end of
the lease.
Slowly and quietly, the pair has
gutted the inside of the building,
doing most of the demolition and
renovation work themselves. They
hope to open the yet-to-be-named
restaurant and bar by the end of May.
A lot of work needs to be done before
the restaurant is ready to open.
Alward and Mullins plan to custom-
make the bar, install booths and finish
work to the kitchen. Currently, they
are fixing the floors — some of which
were rotted through.
“None of the floors in here were
level,” Alward said. “There’s actually
four different layers of flooring, so
we’re figuring out how to get them
all the same height. It’s all been
patchwork from every owner over the
past — they never tore anything out,
they just kept building on top.”
They’re still conceptualizing how the
interior of the restaurant will look.
Half of the building will be the original
exposed brick, with the remainder
being new drywall covering cinder
block walls. Alward said the feel of
the restaurant and clientele will help
define how he decorates the interior.
“We don’t have a particular theme
here yet, other than we just want
a nice comfortable place,” Alward
said. “It’s one thing to decorate and
have a nice ambiance, but I’m not
going to clutter the walls up with a
bunch of beer mirrors — that’s a
sports bar mentality and not what
we are. If people are having a good
time, they’re not staring at the walls
anyway.”
What will really define the business
is the food, said Mullins, who will
run day-to-day operations at the
new restaurant. The menu will
feature “standard pub food,” as well
as contemporary spins on popular
dishes, like a goat cheese, bacon and
shiitake mushroom casadia.
“We’re not going to be like any
place around here,” Mullins said.
“We’re going to have a bit of Asian,
Latin, Italian, Cajun and vegetarian
options — we’ll have a veggie pasta
with noodles that we’ll make from
zucchini and squash. We’ll have a lot
of different things, but you’ll still be
able to come here and get a steak or
burger.”
Mullins also plans to buy fresh
produce from the Big Rapids Farmers
Market and not serve any frozen, pre-
made food or appetizers. Everything
will be “fresh,” he added.
Anja Wing, executive director of the
Mecosta County Area Chamber of
Commerce, met with Mullins earlier
this week encouraging him to join the
chamber. Even if Alward and Mullins
do not become chamber members,
Wing hopes they do well.
“If they can offer a menu that is
different from what we already have
in Big Rapids (with) quality and with
good service, they’ll do well,” Wing
said. “You can’t really see them from
the road, but people will find them
once the word gets out.”
Alward has been in the restaurant
business for 20 years. Six years ago,
he opened his first bar and grille, The
Sazerac Lounge, in Grand Rapids,
which has a Cajun flair to it —
complete with voodoo dolls hanging
on the walls.
Although some of the menu
items and atmosphere at the new
restaurant will be similar to his Grand
Rapids location, Alward hopes to
create an entirely different dining
experience in Big Rapids. He is
looking to attract families and diners
in their late 20s through mid-40s.
“We’re here with the concept that
we’re going to develop a good regular
clientele for the local and surrounding
communities,” Alward said. “We’ll
obviously see some college students,
but we really want to develop that
lunch, dinner and happy hour crowd.”
LIVING WITH HEAVY
PERIODS: STUDY REVEALS
CHALLENGES
(NewsUSA) - Millions of American
women suffer from a medical
condition called heavy monthly
bleeding (HMB). Many have periods
so heavy they can limit daily
activities, including work, childcare,
exercise and managing household
responsibilities.
Despite the significant impact of
heavy periods, many women suffer
in silence, according to “Living with
HMB: A National Survey of 500
Women,” conducted online in June
2010 by Harris Interactive on behalf
of Ferring Pharmaceuticals. The
survey found that:
* 92 percent of women were very
frustrated by having HMB. Nearly
two in three women (64 percent)
said HMB has a significant negative
impact on their social, leisure and
physical activities.
* 47 percent could not adequately
perform everyday household chores,
37 percent reported HMB negatively
impacts their job, and 19 percent said
it affects their ability to care for their
family.
* HMB was also reported to
negatively affect relationships. More
than 55 percent reported it negatively
affected their sex life. For three out
of 10 women, HMB had a negative
impact on their relationship with their
spouse or significant other.
* Remarkably, 37 percent had
never talked to a doctor about their
HMB. Those who haven’t consulted
a healthcare professional think it
is normal (42 percent) and/or think
there is nothing their doctor can do
about it (41 percent). Some women
who haven’t discussed HMB with a
healthcare professional (21 percent)
were simply too embarrassed to talk
about their condition.
As a physician, I encourage women
to break their silence around
HMB, and to talk to a healthcare
professional about treatment options.
Traditional treatments have been
limited to pain relievers like ibuprofen
and most hormonal contraceptives,
which are not FDA-approved for
HMB, as well as surgery such as
endometrial ablation or hysterectomy.
Women also have another option:
Lysteda (tranexamic acid) tablets,
the only oral non-hormonal and non-
surgical prescription medicine FDA-
approved specifically to treat HMB.
In clinical studies, Lysteda was
shown to lower the amount of blood
lost during monthly periods by about
one-third.
Lysteda pills are taken only during
the monthly period for up to five days,
and have been shown to work across
all treatment cycles studied and as
early as the first cycle of use. Lysteda
has not been studied in adolescents
under age 18 with HMB.
For more information about HMB, talk
to your doctor or visit www.lysteda.

LIFE INSURANCE:
POSSIBILITIES IN A NEW AND
COMPLEX WORLD
(NewsUSA) - According to a recent
study published by the Life Insurance
and Market Research Association,
last year only 44 percent of U.S.
households had individual life
insurance, and 30 percent of U.S.
households had no coverage at all.
These statistics come at a time
when using life insurance for both
its protection benefit and as a way
to build cash has never made more
sense. Once pillars of financial
stability, home equity, defined benefit
plans, 401(k) matches and social
security are now under threat. Under
00406566 MONDAY, April 11, 2011 • TRI COUNTY NEWS SHOPPER 5

these circumstances, funding a
college education, launching a new
business or meeting an unexpected
health emergency are daunting and
cannot easily be resolved with many
of yesterday’s financial solutions.
A permanent life insurance policy that
is reviewed and updated on a regular
basis protects more than just assets.
It brings stability and can help you
take advantage of so many of life’s
possibilities.
If you are thinking about buying life
insurance or increasing the amount
of coverage you already have, here
are some common misperceptions
you should know:
Life insurance is a death benefit
only. In addition to a death benefit,
permanent life insurance offers cash
value accumulation. This money
can be used to cover all kinds of life
expenses for you and your family, or,
small business.
Buying term insurance with a
minimum amount of death benefit
and putting the rest of your money in
other investments is the way to go.
While death protection is important,
permanent life insurance offers that
protection and cash accumulation,
thereby meeting your needs as they
evolve throughout your lifetime.
Life insurance matters only when
you have children. Life insurance
can fulfill many different needs
aside from protecting children. For
instance, you can access the cash
value of a permanent policy to help
grow a business or fund a favorite
philanthropy.
Life insurance is a monthly
bill. Premium payments on a
permanent life insurance policy
are an investment in your future.
A permanent policy is like paying
yourself, as the policy accumulates
cash value over time that can be
used when and however needed.

possibilities that life insurance may
fulfill, please visit www.pennmutual.

MANAGE YOUR TIME DURING YOUR
JOB SEARCH
(NewsUSA) - We’ve all heard that
“finding a job is a full-time job,” but
what is the most effective way to
manage that time? For most job
seekers, the goal is to find the best
job as quickly as possible, but it can
be difficult to implement this plan
everyday.
To make the most of valuable time,
below are recommendations on
expediting the process so job seekers
can stop searching and start working:
Make a plan
Take some time to think about all the
ways that you could get hired, and
brainstorm all the different avenues of
finding a job. Include a list of potential
target companies to research,
social media sites to use, recruiters
to contact, people who may know
someone who is hiring, online job
boards, job fairs and networking and
industry events.
Prioritize job search methods
Evaluate which job search methods
are most important by thinking about
what is more likely to lead you to the
right job. For example, the greatest
number of prospects who might
actually be able to hire you will likely
be at an industry event rather than at
a job seekers’ networking event.
Apply to the right positions
Honestly assess your skills to
determine the best job postings to
apply to. Jeffrey Greenberg, director
of career services at DeVry University
in Philadelphia, recommends
focusing on the job postings where
you have the right skills. “Fight the
urge to apply to any and every job
posting you find. Instead, target
those that best align with your
qualifications, and focus on creating a
good balance of quantity and quality
of your applications,” said Greenberg.
Focus on connecting with people
Focus on networking with people who
are in your industry, and reach out
to contacts at sensible times. Make
calls first thing in the morning or right
at the end of the day, and save online
research for off hours. Don’t waste
business hours online when you
could be reaching out to people.
Focus your activities
Don’t get lured into watching TV
or surfing the net when you are
supposed to be working on your
job search. Work with purpose
and intention, and be conscious of
your goal in every activity you do.
Having clarity about what you need
to accomplish will help you maintain
your focus.
Having said all that, we recognize
that a job search can be emotionally
draining, so be sure to incorporate
small things to lift your spirits. Take
some time to volunteer or talk to a
friend. These small things will give
you momentum to push through and
keep going until you find that great
job.

Transition to MS Beginning

Eastwood Early Childhood Center (231) 796-5556 C entral Office (231) 796-2627
On Friday, March 18th, fourth grade students had their first of
many visits as a part of their transition to the middle school next
year. They had the opportunity to listen to the fifth and 6th grade
band students perform. Mr. Todd and Mr. Balch, the band direc-
tors, did a great job introducing the instruments and showing them
how fantastic it is to be a part of a music ensemble. We were
happy to welcome them to BRMS, and look forward to other visits
coming up.
Guest Readers at Riverview

Riverview students
were excited to have
athletes from BRHS
visit them. The
athletes read to the
students and talked to
them about which
sport they
participate in.
