Notary

What to do about headlight glare when driving at night In recent years, many a motorist has noticed how much more glare they encounter on the road at night than they used to. The headlights that are now standard in many vehicles can be a catch-22.

Drivers of vehicles equipped with LED lights often find the road in front of them is much more illuminated thant it was in the days when auto manufacturers built cars and trucks with incandescent lights. However, the bright light emitted by LED headlights can increase glare for oncoming motorists, making the roads more dangerous for all.

Headlight glare has long been a problem for many drivers. In fact, as far back as 2001 the Highway Traffic and Safety Administration sought input from the public regarding headlight glare. A subsequent report noted that the issue compelled more responses than any other safety concern, and it's likely that a similar request would generate an even greater response today.

LED lights might be a problem for millions of motorists, but the efficiency and longevity of these lights makes it unlikely that auto manufacturers will shift to an alternative light source anytime soon. Until that time comes, drivers can try these strategies to combat glare when driving at night. · AVOID LOOKING DIRECTLY AT ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS. It's important that drivers keep their eyes on the road at all times, but they should be able to do so without staring directly at oncoming lights. In North America, where oncoming

traffic is always on the left, drivers can slightly shift their focus to the right as lights are oncoming. Doing so should allow them to keep their eyes on the road without staring directly into oncoming lights. · PURCHASE NIGHT DRIVING GLASSES. Drivers can consider night driving glasses if they're having a lot of trouble with glare. Such glasses differ depending on the manufacturer, but they're generally intended to reduce glare and reflections from headlights and street lamps. · INVESTIGATE WIPER BLADES. Glare from oncoming headlights contribute to visibility problems when driving at night, and old wiper blades can exacerbate those problems. Old wiper blades can be compromised by a buildup of dirt and often wear down over time. When coupled with glare, this can significantly reduce visibility at night. Each manufacturer is different, but Ford recommends replacing wiper blades once every 12 months. · CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF YOUR WINDSHIELD. A dirty windshield interior also can exacerbate glare. Grit and dirt build up inside of a vehicle over time, and they can accumulate on the windshield just as easily as they do in a cup holder, on an armrest or on the dashboard. Various products are designed specifically for cleaning interior windshields, and these could help reduce glare at night.

Glare can make nighttime driving very difficult. Fortunately, drivers can take many steps to reduce glare from oncoming headlights.

Portland District Library Lines If you’ve gotten a new card at the Portland District Library in the past 18 – 24 months and tried to request something from another library, then you know that something has been amiss. Our computer systems weren’t communicating with their computer systems, and it created a huge mess that we’ve been working on since 2/21. I’m happy to report to you that the problem is finally fixed, and MelCat borrowing (getting materials from another library) is now

instantaneous and trouble-free! And moving forward, if you have books from another library, they will show up on your PDL library record along with the books you checked out from here . . . meaning you can see all the books you have and all your due dates in one place. The only thing you won’t be able to do on our (PDL) system is renew your MelCat books—you’ll still have to log into “MyMelCat” or ask us to renew those items for you. Please feel free to stop by or call if you want

Recycle and reduce waste for the holidays The holiday season is a special time of year. Individuals often spend a little more on gifts, indulge a little more on rich foods and treats and make a concerted effort to enjoy more time with their loved ones during the holidays.

The tendency to overdo things during the holiday season can create a lot of waste. In fact, Americans produce 25 percent more garbage from Thanksgiving through the end of the year, according to Waste Advantage magazine, a publication of the

waste and recycling industry.

That uptick equates to one million tons of extra trash per week throughout the holidays.

Extra food, plastic and paper waste is generated this time of year, but people can be mindful of the potential to go overboard and take some steps to be more waste-conscious as they entertain. · REUSE A SMALL PORTION OF WRAPPING PAPER OR LOOK FOR OTHER WRAPPING ITEMS. Sunday comics, newsprint, colorful magazine

pages, and even pieces of fabric can be used to wrap gifts in lieu of purchasing new wrapping paper. Otherwise, collect used wrapping paper and reuse it next year, doing the same with boxes and bows. According to researchers at Stanford University, if every American family wrapped just three presents in reused materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. · SKIP DISPOSABLE PARTY ITEMS. It's certainly easy to use disposable plates, napkins and cups when hosting holiday parties, but that is very wasteful. Opt for durable, reusable products that can be packed away and used each year during holiday events. · BUY DURABLE AND REUSABLE ITEMS AS GIFTS. Avoid fad gifts and focus on items that will have staying power.

Homemade gifts, such as foods, knitted scarves, artwork, and more, are generally eco-friendly. · SET UP MARKED TRASH AND RECYCLING RECEPTACLES. Remind party guests to recycle the appropriate materials by clearly marking a pail designed for collecting recyclables, such as cans, plastic beverage bottles and glass wine bottles. Most hard plastics can be recycled. · SEND A PHOTO. Mail holiday card recipients photos of the kids or the entire family in lieu of cards. They're apt to save the

Waste can get out of control during the holidays, but there are ways to tame the excess.
