A Collection Of Good Sports At Hanley

Bradford Journal Photo We stopped at Hanley Park, September 7th, and collected this group of a couple of guys and a couple of girls to pose for us in this tree filled setting. The guys didn’t really know each other and the girls didn’t know the guys, but we needed a nice photo for our front page and they were good sports and went along with us. Left to right are Dawson Yost who attends Bradford High School, Trenton Stone who attends Alleghany-Limestone High School, Ashley Root who attends Bradford High School, and her cousin Tiffany Bryer who attends Fretz. (See the 5 Cents Worth Column, page 3 of this issue for some of their interesting comments.)

INDEX

Bradford Journal Photo Labor Day, September 7, was a day of fun and games for these young people. Left to right along Rochester Street are Seth Lichtenberger, Dakkota Natalie, Nate Smith, and Lexis Tucker (all in the 7th grade except Lexis, Seth’s cousin, who is in the 6th grade).

School was out, and they had started early to take advantage of their free time. Seth and Lexis had been swimming and playing hide and seek, and ghost in the graveyard; Dakkota had been watching Nate (a member of the Owls) practice football, and later, riding bikes and visiting McDonalds with him. And now, late in the afternoon they were headed out for more- Seth and Lexis were planning to have a little baseball catch, while Dakkota and Nate were planning to play a little touch football.

LOCAL & AREA NEWS Bri Pattison Returns To Studio B

Prepare The Clams

Bri is back. Well, actually, she never left.

Katie Neidich proudly announces that Bri Pattison will be returning to Studio B Dance Academy as a part-time instructor.

Pattison, a recent graduated from Bradford Area High School and currently a nursing major at Jamestown Community College, will certainly be busy this year. She will begin her teacher training September and slowly transition into the role by late fall teaching beginner level jazz, tap and ballet under Katie’s supervision.

In addition, she will also be an Assistant Coach of the Queen B’s to aid in performances. Pattison has studied various forms of dance for 14 years, first with Peggy Johnson’s Dance Studio and later Studio B Dance Academy.

She also was a member of the studio’s elite dance team, the Queen B’s.

Neidich adds, “It’s such a great feeling having a former student following in my tracks! She was a blessing to have as a dancer because she always Photo submtted came in with a positive attitude and From left to right: Bri Pattison and Katie

Photographer Mary DePalma outdid herself this week with photos from three different locations. Her first stop was the Bradford Area Public Library where she took one picture, her next stop was at Striker’s Alley Sports Bar in Smethport, where she took two photos, but she really outdid herself at her third location. There, during a stop at the United Way’s 17th Annual Pig Roast/Clam Bake, she took almost a dozen photos. While most can be found on the pages of this edition, others have of necessity been relegated to the photo gallery linked to the issue…….. In addition, we have included this year’s version of the Evergreen Elm Gardeners’ McKean County Fair victory photo, a picture that emphasizes the value of Biodynamic gardening, and we also included a few photos taken around town on Labor Day, September 7th. Of note is the photo entitled “A Collection Of Good Sports At Hanley”. On our prompting, the guys in the photo, Dawson Yost, and Trenton Stone gave us an idea of how they see the world and it’s leadership. And here’s what they said. Dawson who attends the Bradford Area High School said, “Nobody seems to know what they’re doing.” While Trenton who attends the Allegany-Limestone High School said, “People don’t see what they can’t understand.” Not bad for a couple of High School kids. They made us feel like we’re being watched.……..

Members of our family were not the only ones disappointed in what they found at the Kinzua Bridge National Park tourist attraction over the last weekend.

Others who visited the site were heard by waitresses in local restaurants complaining about the conditions there. The normal entranceway, the one that brought people close to paved paths leading to the bridge and overlook was blocked off, with access mainly through the parking areas. These parking areas were all located at much greater distance from the paved paths, along graveled, dusty paths, lined with chain link construction fences. Visitors were disappointed that the long promised construction was only halfway completed with pamphlets being distributed out of the trunk of a car, and its estimated completion date, including furnishings, over a year away. While listed as a tourist attraction, the site is not what one would consider a viable active touring area for all people. The previous sanitary facilities had been removed but Porta Potties (portable outhouse-like booths) were available for all takers. Unfortunately, these were not necessarily stocked with an important item- toilet paper. And there was no observable way to cleanse the hands as is our custom when using such facilities.

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “The People” Call it divine guidance or just plain genius, Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address gave a succinct vision of the government in this democratic republic we live under here in the United States and a resolve it “shall not perish from the earth“. The key quote is “…of the people, by the people, for the people,…” and what this quote really means. “..the people,..“ clearly represents the resident citizens of our great country. Any interpretation that expands “..the people,..” to any group beyond the individual is beyond the obvious intent of the Lincoln quote.

While representing government for all individual citizens of the United States it also represents all government levels and the individual constituents within each electoral district. With the representative government we have, elections are held to determine who will be the representative as long as the candidate that wins the election is a legal citizen and resides in the district for the office being sought. This clearly explains “..of the people,..” as being the person being elected to represent the constituents (the electorate).

Skipping to “…for the people,..”, it is clear that it refers to the representation that the elected are required to provide to the individual constituents (the electorate). Groups of constituents from organizations to corporations

-by Bob Perry

have a free speech right to seek access with interests and concerns but the representation must reflect the interests and concerns of all constituents. The elected are ultimately answerable to the electorate. “…by the people,…” is clearly the consent to the elected to represent as a result of ‘the vote’ as cast in the ballot box by constituents. A contract of representation has been established. The representation belongs to the constituents alone. It must be noted that financial support for any candidate seeking elected office creates a form of representation that exceeds the power of ‘the vote’ and creates additional ‘access’ since it has the power of additional support to be had. To assure that representation remains with the constituents alone it is necessary that the financial support be limited to the individual constituents.

It is essential that the electoral process be revised to assure “…by the people…” can be realized thus guaranteeing representation as it should be.

Without this change it is predictable that this nation will fail and perish from the face of the earth. We are subject to corruption power creates and the money available to politicians has an allure likened as a ‘moth to a flame‘.

Remember “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Be active and support this necessary change.

Rest During A Lack-Luster Tour Of Site

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Money Prep For Prospective Parents It costs parents an average of $245,340 to raise a child from birth to age 18.

That figure from the U.S. Agriculture Department is just one reason why prospective parents are advised to consider parallel financial planning for child-based expenses and retirement.

The key is to start doing it as early as possible – in a December 2012 article in The New Republic, adults are starting families later than previous generations. In short, savings needs for childcare, college and retirement seem on a tighter collision course than ever.

For prospective couples or single parents, any discussion of family should begin with the pros and cons of starting a family in terms of personal, lifestyle and career success. In short, the question “Do we want kids?” should come before “Can we afford kids?”

Once family goals are settled, it’s wise to evaluate where current finances stand. While many couples have a thorough money talk (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/moneyquestions) before they wed, it works for family planning, too. Couples and single parents will benefit from complete financial transparency before pregnancy, adoption proceedings or fertility treatment starts.

Utilize qualified financial and tax advice to fit specific circumstances.

Consult trusted family and friends for referrals to qualified financial planning and tax experts. Also check current tax rules for how to handle and potentially deduct certain costs related to adoption or fertility treatments.

Research thoroughly and bookmark resources online. The IRS website (http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Parents) continually updates its summary of tax issues for parents which can guide overall planning. New authors and bloggers emerge daily on virtually every aspect of parenting; friends, relatives and colleagues can also provide resources.

For prospective parents who are employed, it is a good idea to evaluate benefits well ahead of a pregnancy, fertilization procedures or adoption.

Depending on specific circumstances, employees should review health and general benefits for routine and emergency medical coverage, medical leave policy and extras like child care benefits. Couples should compare their coverage to determine who has the best family coverage overall.

Start planning for childcare expenses as soon as possible. Full- or part-time

childcare services for working parents can be surprisingly expensive and difficult to obtain depending on location.

In 2015, the White House reported that the average cost of full-time care for an infant was about $10,000 a year, and a 2014 Boston Globe (https://www.bostonglobe.com) report noted state-bystate estimates that were significantly higher. For peace of mind and affordability, it is advisable to tackle the childcare issue as early as possible. Prospective parents might also speak with a qualified tax advisor about whether it is more advantageous to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit on their taxes or pay childcare expenses from a Flexible Spending Account at work.

Loved ones can also lend financial assistance to a new family in a variety of ways. Affordable basics include general parenting advice, as-needed babysitting services and sharing coupons and hand-me-downs like clothing, toys and unneeded child-related equipment in good condition. For those willing to lend financial support, such options might include a Coverdell Education Savings Account, 529 college savings plan or a gift of cash or assets to the child subject to IRS rules. Also, anyone can directly pay medical expenses in full for someone they do not claim as a dependent under certain circumstances.

If friends or family members offer financial help, encourage them to evalu-

-by Nathaniel Sillin ate options with qualified financial and tax experts.

Finally, prospective parents should become dedicated bargain hunters and savers with an equal focus on handling childcare expenses and supporting retirement goals. Both financial goals are equally important.

Bottom line: It pays to plan early for a family. Evaluate your finances, reach out to friends and family for advice and get help from qualified experts if you need it.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Those With Lupus Often Underreport Symptoms

AICR HealthTalk

-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research

Q: Do strength-training exercises provide the same kind of protection against chronic disease as aerobic exercises like walking?

A: Each of these types of exercise provide benefits, but we get the most health benefits by making sure to get both strength-training (resistance exercise) and aerobic exercise (such as walking, swimming and gardening). Both seem to help your body use insulin better, which helps control blood sugar and reduces risk of type 2 diabetes. This affects other aspects of health, too, because the body doesn’t need to produce the high levels of insulin that seem to promote growth of some cancers and raise blood levels of triglycerides linked to risk of heart disease. A lot of exercise research focuses on people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, because they are likely to have inflammation in addition to insulin resistance. Some research shows no difference between aerobic and strength-training exercise to reduce all of these health risks, and some research shows aerobic exercise slightly more effective. However, an analysis of 14 studies shows that the combination of both aerobic and strength-training exercise is the most effective. Even when exercise does not lead to weight loss, it can promote health directly through all these beneficial effects, so don’t let the scale be your judge of how physical activity is “working” for you.

Fair Results Continue To Prove Efficacy Of Biodynamic Gardening Process

Bradford Journal Photo The Evergreen Green Elm’s Biodynamic Gardeners stand in their humble plot of land along Elm Street, September 3rd, near the end of another successful growing season, and another successful year at the McKean County Fair. Left to right are Kristan Reynolds, Jeff Van Scoter, Randy Johnson, Brandi Buck (garden supervisor), Lisa Williams, L.A. Rotheraine (Master Gardener), Patty Price, Robert Tubbs, and Kari Johnston.

Evergreen Elm master gardener, L.A. Rotheraine said, “Whenever Evergreen Elm’s Biodynamic Garden does well in competition or when our veggies are used in restaurants getting great reviews by the patrons, the whole world wins. Biodynamic Agriculture returns a lost frontier of knowledge to the human race. Humanity has lost the ancient wisdom that all plants and their seeds are condensed energy from the heavens. Using this knowledge, in combination with the enthusiasm, hard work and light hearted attitude of our gardeners creates in turn, great soil, great compost, and super, chemical free veggies.”

Middle-Aged Men And Suicide

- by Eileen Zeller

(NAPSI)—Many in the mental health community are particularly concerned by the marked increase in the suicide rate among those in their middle years—especially among men in that age group. While youths have the highest rate of suicide attempts, middle-aged adults have the highest number of deaths by suicide nationwide. Men are proportionately at higher risk: Nearly four of every five suicides in the U.S. are by men.

In response, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and its public and private partners, have been working to understand why the suicide rate for middle-aged men has risen so sharply and to develop suicide-prevention strategies aimed specifically at this population.

Contributing Factors Men who have lost their jobs, for example, are much more likely to attempt suicide. Lisa Capoccia, MPH, assistant manager of provider initiatives for SAMHSA’s Suicide Prevention Resource Center, says researchers are working to determine just how much the economic downturn that occurred during the last decade contributed to the increase in the suicide rate.

In 2013, adults who were unemployed in the past year were substantially more likely than those who were employed fulltime to have serious thoughts of suicide (7.0 percent vs. 3.0 percent) or attempt suicide (1.4 percent vs. 0.3 percent), according to SAMHSA’s 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

Other factors can contribute to suicide risk for middle-aged men, such as serious physical illness, intimate partner violence (IPV), financial problems, legal problems and major depression. So can the after effects of combat stress and trauma experienced by veterans.

Substance and alcohol abuse can also play a role. Experts believe that when people have a drinking disorder, they are eight times more likely to attempt to take their

life. And substances can impair judgment, where decisions are made that might not happen in a sober state.

Reducing Risk Because of these and other factors, SAMHSA is leading efforts to identify and develop approaches that will help better identify middle-aged men who are at risk of suicide, and to promote protective measures and reduce risk factors.

This includes strategies such as increasing connectedness to family and peers, increasing access to physical and behavioral health care, providing continuity of care upon release from emergency departments or psychiatric hospitalization, and increasing awareness of SAMHSA’s National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800273-TALK (8255).

Nearly half of people who die by suicide have seen a primary care physician within a month of their suicide and we know that men are more likely to see a primary care physician than a behavioral health provider. For that reason, SAMHSA is working on strategies to encourage

greater access to care to both primary and behavioral health settings.

Increasing access to behavioral health care is particularly important in light of the fact that more than one-half of the 8.6 million adults aged 18 or older who had serious thoughts of suicide in the past year did not receive mental health services, according to the 2008 to 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

Reach Out To Men Connecting those at risk of suicide with the appropriate mental health services is crucial. SAMHSA, as well as groups such as the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, are working to ensure that more middle-aged men are getting appropriate help.

Neidich Of Studio B Dance Academy Attends Dance Conference While the dance students of Studio B Dance Academy were enjoying their summer vacations, their teacher and mentor Katie Neidich went back to school. Katie Neidich recently attended the Dance Teacher Web (DTW) Live conference in Connecticut. The conference, held at Foxwoods Resort and Casino, ran from August 3rd to August 6th. A lot of information was packed into this three-day conference.

The conference covered topics related to business professional development, technical classes and master classes. Studio B is not only a dance studio; it’s a business as well. The business development classes provided tools for growth and stability of the studio. This year Neidich will add dance management software that will allow for billing by email, other financial organizational tools and sending notices out to parents quickly and efficiently. The studio will also start to accept payments from debit cards to make payments easier for parents. The technical dance interactive sessions were filled with teaching tools and class content for students from beginning, intermediate and advance students taking different forms of dance. Neidich also took master classes taught by Alex Wong and Liz Imperio. Fans of So You Think You Can Dance will remember Alex Wong, who also performed in the Broadway Hit “Newsies”.

She took a special seminar on “Dance Games” with Tricia Gomez, the creator of “1,2,3 Dance” and “Hip-Hop in a Box”, found some super fun activities to incorporate into all levels that will not only liven up the studio, but continue to

challenge the students all while they are “playing”. She enjoyed a fashion show which gave her costume ideas for the Divas of the Decade recital this spring. She also plans on adding more technology into the studio. It’s always inspiring to see a dance performance live, but they can’t always road trip to Pittsburgh each weekend so she will be able to show the students performance videos to motivate them and also provide more lessons on dance history so they understand why they are doing these movements.

Education has always been important for Neidich, who graduated from Slippery Rock University in 2011, with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance and a minor in Women’s Studies. She chose the accredited dance program because the dance program there meets and exceeds the criteria established by the National Association of Schools of Dance. She chose a challenging program because she believes in challenging herself to continue to learn and improve.

She continues to incorporate what she learned from Slippery Rock into the lessons that she passes on to her students.

s many as 40 percent of American families do not have a family emergency plan in place, according to Save the Children®, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving children a healthy start and protection from harm. But emergencies can happen to anyone at any time, making emergency preparedness and safety education important issues for families to address, especially families with small children.

“There are many myths and assumptions that keep families from adequately preparing for emergencies, and the consequences can be devastating,” said Dr. Gloria Julius, vice president of education and professional development for Primrose Schools®, an early education and care provider with more than 300 schools across the country.

“A disaster is no time to realize that you’re not sure how to keep your family safe. That’s why we’ve partnered with Save the Children to educate families and children inside and outside our classrooms on the importance of emergency preparedness, while engaging them in steps they can take to keep their children safe in times of crisis.”

When disaster strikes, children are particularly vulnerable. Responding in a calm, organized manner not only helps your children know how to act, it conveys a powerful message that they are safe, advises the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Children will mirror your response and actions in times of crisis.

Make safety a priority for your family by learning about common misconceptions about emergency preparation and taking steps to ensure your family is ready to respond if a disaster strikes.

A

Emergency Prep: Myths vs. Reality 1. It Won’t Happen Here

3. My Kids Are Safe with Me

According to data from Save the Children, 90 percent of children in the United States live in areas at risk for natural disaster, and 54 percent of U.S. families have been affected by some type of natural or other disaster.

For too many parents, the day they start thinking about emergency preparedness is the day they are faced with an actual disaster. Start now and take time to prepare for emergencies by completing simple steps like filling out emergency contact forms that can be tucked in your child’s backpack at school, helping your children memorize emergency contact numbers and stocking your home with emergency supplies.

In reality, U.S. Census data reveals 59 million students are enrolled in nursery school through 12th grade — each spending a significant share of each day away from their parents. Add time spent away from home for activities and with friends, and suddenly the amount of time your children are by your side can start to feel small.

You can help ease fear on both sides by teaching your children what to expect if a disaster strikes when you aren’t together. Determine a meeting place should you be separated, and check with your child’s school or child care provider to ensure they have a plan for emergencies. In your discussion, also verify where you can meet your child if his school or child care center is evacuated. Some schools and care providers also include emergency preparedness tips in their curriculum. Check with your child’s school to see if they are already teaching some of these life lessons to your children — perhaps your kids could teach you a thing or two about disaster response.

2. It’s Scary Discussing emergencies can be daunting, but talking about it is an important part of helping parents prepare and protect their kids from disasters.

“Many parents worry about the right way to approach those conversations without sparking undue fear in children,” said Sarah Thompson, associate director of community preparedness with Save the Children. “By providing children age-appropriate education, you’re providing them with lifelong safety skills and a sense of mastery that will help them effectively respond to and cope with emergencies. In our partnership with Primrose Schools, we are helping more parents feel comfortable starting these important conversations to help children feel safe and families get prepared.”

Thompson and Julius recommend an educational approach to these conversations as a strategy to relieve fear and stress on both sides. Discussions can also incorporate fun elements, such as coloring the back of an emergency contact form that includes personal information or helping count items for an emergency kit. As you talk about emergencies, you can also discuss what makes your child feel safe and explain how community helpers, like firefighters and policemen, help in times of crisis.

“By teaching children basic disaster preparedness, you are demonstrating your love and care for them,” Thompson said. “Children can understand and appreciate that.”

4. We’re Already Prepared You may feel like you’ve taken steps to protect your family, but keeping your family prepared for emergencies is an ongoing process, and it’s hard to plan for every detail, especially the unexpected. According to a 2012 FEMA survey, only 43 percent of respondents have actually created a household emergency plan, and just over half (52 percent) have emergency supplies in their homes.

Reviewing emergency preparedness materials, such as those offered through Primrose Schools’ 360 Parenting blog, can help you identify gaps or things you may have inadvertently overlooked.

In addition, being prepared requires more than having a plan and making a disaster supply kit.

It involves regular practice and maintenance, like practicing emergency drills with your children and keeping emergency contact information updated.

Emergency Checklist: Are You Prepared?

If the unthinkable happens, your children will look to you to know how to react and respond. Use the checklist below to help your family prepare and keep children safe in a disaster.

Make a family plan and determine: The facilities that will be used as shelters in your community in case of emergency A designated meet-up location if your family is separated An emergency contact outside of your area who would not be affected by a local disaster Teach your children: Basic personal information to identify themselves if separated from you How to dial 911 Your family’s meet-up locations How to reach your family’s out-of-town contact

Create an Emergency Kit Save the Children suggests preparing a backpack or portable bag for each family member with essential hygiene items and contact information in case you need to leave home.

It’s important when packing this kit to also incorporate items specific to children, including: Each child’s contact and medical information Recent photos of each child Comfort food and snacks Activity items like books, puzzles and games Comfort items like a stuffed animal or blanket

Have a communications strategy: Program all family cell phones with “ICE” (In Case of Emergency) contacts Include all family phone numbers plus out-of-town contacts Remind family members that text messages often get through in an emergency, even when a phone call can’t Find more resources, such as tips and activities you can reference and practice as a family, at PrimroseSchools.com and www.savethechildren.org/ GetReady.

(Continued from page 16) it’s important to continue my education so that I can co ntinue to provide the best for all of my students. Dance, like everything else, is constantly evolving and changing and I feel that I need to keep up with that by attending conferences such as DTW. It’s easy to fall into burnout mode when I’m choreographing more than 50 routines each year from the Queen’s to the recital routines and teaching over 30 hours so learning new images, teaching tools, and refocusing on my own technique helps to keep my mind fresh. I think going to this convention also shows my students that I’m taking initiative and willing to grow, just like they should be doing every year they take class.”

Neidich comes from a family of educators. Inspired by her parents, Patti Neidich, a retired teacher of 1st and 3rd grade, and Ross Neidich a retired administrator of several elementary schools, and her sister, Lindsay Neidich Gianoutos who is also a teacher, she is a firm believer in continuing her education. Next summer when her dance students are on their summer vacations, Neidich will go back to school again. She has already registered for the next DTW Live conference in Las Vegas.

onducting routine maintenance on your vehicle is necessary to maintain optimal performance and prevent costly repairs.

As colder weather approaches, and with it the potential for treacherous road conditions, giving certain areas of your car special attention can also protect your safety.

“Getting your vehicle ready for winter while temperatures are still mild is a proactive approach to preventive maintenance that helps ensure safety and reliability when severe winter weather strikes,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council.

The following tips will help you learn how to care for the systems and features most likely to affect your safety as winter approaches. Learn about the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair, and order a free copy of the council’s Car Care Guide, at www.carcare.org.

Brakes

Battery

The brake system is a car’s most important safety system. A faulty brake system may impede your ability to safely slow your vehicle in inclement driving conditions or avoid an accident. Brakes sustain normal wear and eventually need to be replaced for both performance and safety reasons. Ignoring routine maintenance and letting brake pads wear too thin can lead to costly rotor and drum replacement, in addition to compromising your ability to execute a sudden stop safely.

Have your complete brake system thoroughly inspected annually and replace equipment as needed.

If your car is pulling to the left or right, or if you hear odd noises when you apply the brakes, you should have your brakes inspected. Other warning signs include an illuminated brake warning light, brake grabbing, low pedal feel, vibration, hard pedal feel and squealing.

Don’t overlook the parking brake, which also may require adjustment or replacement parts.

Your battery should be securely mounted, with connections clean, tight and corrosion-free. If the battery is three years old or more, it should be tested and replaced if necessary.

Wheels and Tires When roads become wet or icy, the right wheels and tires can help ensure you have the traction you need to maintain control.

Maintaining tire balance and wheel alignment reduces tire wear and improves handling and fuel economy. Tire replacement is necessary if the tread depth is below the minimum legal requirement, or if the sidewalls are severely cracked or punctured. In addition, normal wear and road conditions can take their toll on your car’s steering and suspension system and disrupt the alignment, which in turn reduces optimum handling.

Use the “penny test” to check your tread; if you see Lincoln’s head above the tread, you are ready for new tires.

Have your car’s alignment checked at least annually or at the first sign of improper handling or uneven wear.

Check inflation pressure at least once a month (including the spare) and once per week in the winter.

Rotate and balance tires every 6,000 miles to avoid accelerated wear on shock absorbers and struts.

Headlights Headlights play a major role in safe driving; the chances for accidents increase if you can’t see or be seen. The lighting system provides nighttime visibility, signals and alerts other drivers, and supplies light for viewing instruments and the vehicle’s interior.

If there is any doubt about whether or not your headlights should be on, turn them on.

Keep headlights, tail lights and signal lights clean. External dirt and debris can dim operational lights, making it difficult to be seen by others.

Make sure your headlights are properly aimed. If they aren’t, headlights blind other drivers and reduce your ability to see the road.

Don’t overdrive your headlights. You should be able to stop inside the illuminated area; otherwise you are creating a blind crash area in front of your vehicle.

Replace dimming, rapidly blinking or non-functioning lights immediately, but check first to ensure a loose or faulty fuse isn’t the source of the problem.

Windshield Wipers The wiper system keeps excessive water, snow and dirt from building up on the windshield, maintaining clear visibility. Many factors can accelerate the replacement of wipers, including operating conditions, frequency of use, material and type of wipers and weather.

In general, replace blades every six months or when cracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering.

Be aware that some vehicles have two washer fluid reservoirs. Check levels monthly and use washer fluid only; do not use water.

MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST Whether you do it yourself or take your car to a professional service technician, the Car Care Council recommends these basic maintenance procedures to keep your vehicle operating at its best: 1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.

2. Check the hoses and belts for signs of damage or wear.

3. Check the battery and replace if necessary.

4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change.

5. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there is an unusual noise.

6. Check the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, as proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting.

7. Inspect the steering and suspension system annually, including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components.

8. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread.

Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.

9. Check the wipers and lighting, including both interior and exterior lighting, and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation.
