By JAY BERGER Our granddaughter is getting married this weekend and I needed a new pair of black dress shoes. It seems as though lack of use is just as bad as wearing them too much. My old pair just will not make the grade—the sole is coming off one shoe and the other is hopelessly scarred.

I went to several shoe departments to find a pair with leather soles so that— although I’m not a great dancer—at least I can get on the floor, hold Kitty, and sway to the music. All the black dress shoes had that compound fake-rubber look to the soles.

At last, one department store had a pair with leather soles, and it looked as though the size was correct. I tried the first one on and the shoes were too big. The second pair fit well and I headed to the check out. After making the purchase, I reached into my pocket for my car keys, only to find that they were not

there. I tried my jacket—no luck. I mumbled to myself, “I never lose keys.” Well, guess what—I did!

I dashed out to the car. It was locked and I tried to see if the keys were in the ignition. Our windows were tinted and I could not see in. It then occurred to me that we had the model that screeches if you do not take out your See BERGER, Page 17

National Pet Week ~ May 4-10, 2014

Kid-Friendly Pets Kids in general love animals, so it’s only natural that parents would want to bring a pet into their family. Some pets are better with kids than others, of course. Snakes, for example, generally do not make good pets for kids because of their size and strength. Dogs and cats, on the other hand, often make great pets for kids, especially more affectionate breeds. Following are some tips for selecting a kid-friendly pet and helping kids respect it.

Of all the pets available, dogs and cats are often the best choices for kids. Dogs and cats tend to interact more with people and are more apt to put up with spirited kids.

Some breeds do better with kids than others, so it pays to do your homework. Find out what breeds are considered kid friendly and focus on them.

If you are adopting a pet from a shelter, ask the caretakers what the best choice would be for your household. You want a dog or cat with the temperament to deal with kids.

If you’re looking for a pet that is a little less hands on, ham-

sters are ideal. Kids can get a great deal of enjoyment watching a hamster run around its cage, in and out of tunnels and around and around on the wheel. And, when kids are interested in a little cuddling time, the hamster can be removed from its cage and held in the hand for a bit of petting. Just make sure you supervise the activity, as hamsters will nip. While fun to watch, hamsters do not live a long time. Keep that in mind. You don’t want to traumatize your kids with the death of one hamster after another.

For parents looking for a pet that is completely hands off but pure fun to watch, fish or turtles might fill the bill.

An aquarium of colorful fish darting this way and that can keep kids entertained, as can a turtle moving around in its cage. Because they are so hands off, however, some kids can grow bored of their pet fish or turtle.

Whatever pet you choose, you must teach your kids to respect it. Kids who respect animals tend to have fewer disastrous run-ins with them. Kids need to understand

that pets are animals, and like them, they have preferences. Kids don’t like to be bothered when they are eating, drinking or sleeping, and neither do pets. Kids don’t like to be smacked or teased, and neither do pets.

Kids don’t like their spaces to be invaded, and neither do pets.

When teaching kids to deal with pets, supervision is crucial. Watch them carefully, especially when handling more delicate species like hamsters, kittens and puppies. Kids and pets can go hand in hand with the right teaching. Select a good kid-friendly pet for your household and teach your kids to treat it with care.

I went back in the store, saying hello to our neighbor Scott, who was just entering the store with his family. The cashier directed me to the customer service desk. I told the woman at the desk my tale of woe. She reassured me and said, “You are not the first and you will not be the last to have this happen here. Let’s see what you bought and I’ll call the proper person to look in that area.”

She did and while I waited, I asked the woman to please page Scott; if all else failed, perhaps I could get a ride

JAY BERGER home with him and get Kitty’s set of keys. Scott came right over and assured me that I could count on him to get the keys and come back if necessary. When the department answered the phone, the customer service rep read off the details of what I bought so they knew where to start looking.

While we waited, Scott told me the story of how he once lost his cell phone in a giant mall. He borrowed another cell phone and traveled the entire length of the mall—on both levels. Eventually, he could hear his phone ringing and was able to retrieve it.

He no sooner finished his story than I heard keys jingling and the shoe department person handed me my keys. I had dropped them into the box of shoes that was too big!

I gave everyone giant thank you’s.

I traveled home and told Kitty the story. She reminded me about the time she lost her car. She was working out at the health center, then showered and changed. She left the building and went to get into her car, only to find that it was not there. She looked through the rows of cars, to See BERGER, Page 21

Randomly running truck is confusing owner

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI Dear Tom and Ray: We have a 1999 GMC Sierra that has something that “runs” on occasion when it is sitting in the garage. We have not started the truck in nearly two months, and my wife heard it run just yesterday. What is causing this, and how do I stop it? Does this truck have a random battery discharger, or is it just lonely because we have not run it lately? We have had it since new, and it is in nearly new condition due to the fact that the price of gas is so high.

Most of its life has been spent in the garage -- except when some family member moves, or during deer season. It sounds like something is running -- like a pump, maybe?

Can you tell me what’s running and if there’s anything we should do about it? Thank you.

-- Grover TOM: First, stop hanging around your parked truck so much, Grover. People are going to think you’re some kind of weirdo.

RAY: This truck, like all vehicles these days, has an evaporative emissions control system to keep gasoline vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. I think what you’re hearing is the system’s pump.

TOM: To contain the vapors and prevent air pollution, your fuel system is kept under constant pressure, so the vapors are pushed into a charcoal canister, where they’re trapped and held. Then, when the engine starts, they’re released into the cylinders to be com-

busted. It’s a good system.

RAY: That fuel system pressure is the reason you sometimes hear a little “whoosh” of air escaping when you unscrew your gas cap.

TOM: The system has a self-test mode. It’s possible that all you’re hearing is the pump pressurizing the system to test it. It may have just been a coincidence that you’ve been near the truck every time that happened.

RAY: But I’m guessing that the pump is coming on more often than it should. That’s probably because your system isn’t holding pressure.

TOM: You could have a slow pressure leak somewhere.

It could be from your gas cap, a bad valve, a rusted fuel-filler neck or a dozen other places.

But something’s allowing the pressure inside the fuel system to drop, and that’s kicking on

the pump.

RAY: Or, the pressure sensor is faulty, and is turning on the pump when it doesn’t need to be on.

TOM: Either way, if we’re correct, the Check Engine light will come on soon -- if it’s not on already, Grover.

That’ll be your cue to do, what? Check the engine!

RAY: Yeah. Have a mechanic scan the truck and see what trouble codes the computer has stored. That will give him some clues as to where to start looking. Good luck. *** Auto repairs can be costly!

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.
