Bradford Journal PhotoWe 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 fi lled 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.)

Bradford Journal PhotoLabor 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.

Bri Pattison Returns To Studio B 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 in-structor. Pattison, a recent graduated from Bradford Area High School and cur-rently a nursing major at Jamestown Community College, will certainly be busy this year. She will begin her teach-er training September and slowly tran-sition into the role by late fall teaching beginner level jazz, tap and ballet under Katie’s supervision. In addition, she will also be an As-sistant Coach of the Queen B’s to aid in performances. Pattison has studied various forms of dance for 14 years, fi rst with Peggy Johnson’s Dance Stu-dio 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 feel-ing having a former student following in my tracks! She was a blessing to have as a dancer because she always came in with a positive attitude and

ready to work. Anytime a younger stu-dent needed help, she was the fi rst one to take initiative and I could always count on her. In this way, she continues to be a role model for young dancers and will prove to be a strong asset to the expanding studio.”

“The People”-by Bob Perry

Call it divine guidance or just plain genius, Abraham Lincoln in his Getty-sburg Address gave a succinct vision of the government in this democratic re-public we live under here in the United States and a resolve it “shall not per-ish from the earth“. The key quote is “…of the people, by the people, for the people,…” and what this quote re-ally 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 ob-vious 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 le-gal citizen and resides in the district for the offi ce 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 represen-tation that the elected are required to provide to the individual constituents (the electorate). Groups of constitu-ents from organizations to corporations

have a free speech right to seek access with interests and concerns but the rep-resentation must refl ect 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 rep-resent as a result of ‘the vote’ as cast in the ballot box by constituents. A con-tract of representation has been estab-lished. The representation belongs to the constituents alone. It must be noted that fi nancial support for any candidate seeking elected offi ce creates a form of representation that exceeds the pow-er of ‘the vote’ and creates additional ‘access’ since it has the power of ad-ditional support to be had. To assure that representation remains with the constituents alone it is necessary that the fi nancial support be limited to the individual constituents. It is essential that the electoral pro-cess be revised to assure “…by the people…” can be realized thus guar-anteeing 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 mon-ey available to politicians has an allure likened as a ‘moth to a fl ame‘. Remember “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Be active and support this necessary change.

Photographer Mary DePalma outdid herself this week with photos from three different locations. Her fi rst stop was the Bradford Area Public Li-brary 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 ad-dition, we have included this year’s version of the Evergreen Elm Gar-deners’ McKean County Fair victory photo, a picture that emphasizes the value of Biodynamic gardening, and we also in-cluded 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 Tren-ton 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-Lime-stone 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 tour-ist attraction over the last weekend. Others who visited the site were heard by waitresses in local restaurants com-plaining 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 ar-eas. These parking areas were all located at much greater distance from the paved paths, along graveled, dusty paths, lined with chain link construction fences. Visi-tors were disappointed that the long prom-ised construction was only halfway com-pleted 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 (port-able outhouse-like booths) were available for all takers. Unfortunately, these were not necessarily stocked with an important item- toilet paper. And there was no ob-servable way to cleanse the hands as is our custom when using such facilities.

Some of them continued on to the refurbished portion of the wrecked Kinzua railroad bridge that now serves as an over-look to the canyon valley once traversed by commercial trains. The others returned to the parking area

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESMoney Prep For Prospective Parents

-by Nathaniel Sillin It costs parents an average of $245,340 to raise a child from birth to age 18. That fi gure from the U.S. Agricul-ture Department is just one reason why prospective parents are advised to con-sider parallel fi nancial 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 start-ing families later than previous genera-tions. In short, savings needs for child-care, 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 ques-tion “Do we want kids?” should come before “Can we afford kids?” Once family goals are settled, it’s wise to evaluate where current fi nances stand. While many couples have a thor-ough money talk (http://www.practi-calmoneyskills.com/moneyquestions) before they wed, it works for family planning, too. Couples and single par-ents will benefi t from complete fi nan-cial transparency before pregnancy, adoption proceedings or fertility treat-ment starts. Utilize qualifi ed fi nancial and tax advice to fi t specifi c circumstances. Consult trusted family and friends for referrals to qualifi ed fi nancial 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/Par-ents) continually updates its summa-ry of tax issues for parents which can guide overall planning. New authors and bloggers emerge daily on virtually every aspect of parenting; friends, rela-tives and colleagues can also provide resources. For prospective parents who are employed, it is a good idea to evalu-ate benefi ts well ahead of a pregnancy, fertilization procedures or adoption. Depending on specifi c circumstances, employees should review health and general benefi ts for routine and emer-gency medical coverage, medical leave policy and extras like child care ben-efi ts. 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 dif-fi cult 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.bos-tonglobe.com) report noted state-by-state estimates that were signifi cantly higher. For peace of mind and afforda-bility, it is advisable to tackle the child-care issue as early as possible. Prospec-tive parents might also speak with a qualifi ed 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 fi nancial assistance to a new family in a vari-ety of ways. Affordable basics include general parenting advice, as-needed ba-bysitting services and sharing coupons and hand-me-downs like clothing, toys and unneeded child-related equipment in good condition. For those willing to lend fi nancial 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 fi -nancial help, encourage them to evalu-

ate options with qualifi ed fi nancial and tax experts. Finally, prospective parents should become dedicated bargain hunters and savers with an equal focus on handling childcare expenses and supporting re-tirement goals. Both fi nancial goals are equally important. Bottom line: It pays to plan early for a family. Evaluate your fi nances, reach out to friends and family for advice and get help from qualifi ed experts if you need it.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEThose With Lupus Often Underreport Symptoms

(NAPSI)—There is often a gap be-tween what those with lupus experience and what they tell their doctor. Closing this gap, many believe, may lead to bet-ter communication and management. This is a key fi nding of a 2014 on-line survey of 905 total global respond-ents across the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Brazil. The results showed that of the 200 U.S. patients who took part in the survey, 60 percent reported diffi culty describing symp-toms to their physician and 77 percent underreported symptoms and therefore the impact of lupus on their lives. This survey was funded and developed by GSK. Lupus is a chronic infl ammatory dis-ease that occurs when your body’s im-mune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Infl ammation caused by lu-pus can affect many different body sys-tems, including a person’s joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.

Symptoms Underreported The survey also found that in the U.S., patients underreported the nega-tive impact of lupus on work to physi-cians when compared to patients’ and caregivers’ actual experiences: • Nearly two-thirds of patients and caregivers (61 percent) agree that lu-pus negatively impacted the patient’s career progression. In contrast, physi-cians only see one-quarter (25 percent) of patients reporting an impact on their career progression. • Nearly three-quarters of patients (75 percent) and caregivers (72 per-cent) agree that lupus is a fi nancial bur-den, yet physicians say about one-third of their patients (34 percent) report this effect to them. • 62 percent of patients report taking

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 benefi ts, but we get the most health benefi ts 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, be-cause they are likely to have infl ammation 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 slight-ly 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 benefi cial effects, so don’t let the scale be your judge of how physical activ-ity is “working” for you. Find ways to include aerobic physical activity every day and strength-training two to three days each week.

sick days due to their lupus compared to 34 percent of physicians who believe this is true of their patients.

Communication Is Key Communication between U.S. pa-tients, caregivers and physicians is es-sential to treating lupus, yet there is also a discrepancy in how often patients and physicians recall interacting with each other. • 83 percent of physicians report see-ing patients every two to three months compared to only 63 percent of patients and 68 percent of caregivers reporting this frequency of consultation.

Need For More Resources In the U.S., patients, their doctors and caregivers agreed on the need for more resources and a stronger, more connected lupus community, as well as improvements in self-management of lupus and its symptoms and improved communications with their primary physician. Patients also see conversations with physicians as the second most used re-source. Online education materials are the top resource used by patients and caregivers.

The Survey GfK, a trusted source of relevant market and consumer information, con-ducted this survey on behalf of GSK. U.S. survey respondents included 200 patients, 100 caregivers and 75 physi-cians.

Middle-Aged Men And Suicide (NAPSI)—Many in the mental health community are particularly concerned by the marked increase in the suicide rate among those in their middle years—espe-cially among men in that age group. While youths have the highest rate of suicide at-tempts, middle-aged adults have the high-est number of deaths by suicide nation-wide. Men are proportionately at higher risk: Nearly four of every fi ve 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 sui-cide-prevention strategies aimed specifi -cally at this population.

Contributing Factors Men who have lost their jobs, for exam-ple, are much more likely to attempt sui-cide. Lisa Capoccia, MPH, assistant man-ager 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 contrib-uted 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 full-time to have serious thoughts of suicide (7.0 percent vs. 3.0 percent) or attempt su-icide (1.4 percent vs. 0.3 percent), accord-ing 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), fi nancial problems, legal problems and major depression. So can the after ef-fects of combat stress and trauma experi-enced 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 bet-ter identify middle-aged men who are at risk of suicide, and to promote protective measures and reduce risk factors. This includes strategies such as increas-ing connectedness to family and peers, increasing access to physical and behav-ioral health care, providing continuity of care upon release from emergency depart-ments or psychiatric hospitalization, and increasing awareness of SAMHSA’s Na-tional Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). Nearly half of people who die by sui-cide 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, SAMH-SA 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, ac-cording to the 2008 to 2012 National Sur-vey on Drug Use and Health.

Reach Out To Men Connecting those at risk of suicide with the appropriate mental health servic-es 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. To learn more, visit:

Neidich Of Studio B Dance Academy Attends Dance Conference

Photo submittedKatie Neidich at Conference.

While the dance students of Studio B Dance Academy were enjoying their sum-mer vacations, their teacher and mentor Katie Neidich went back to school. Ka-tie Neidich recently attended the Dance Teacher Web (DTW) Live conference in Connecticut. The conference, held at Fox-woods 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, tech-nical classes and master classes. Studio B is not only a dance studio; it’s a business as well. The business development class-es provided tools for growth and stability of the studio. This year Neidich will add dance management software that will al-low for billing by email, other fi nancial or-ganizational tools and sending notices out to parents quickly and effi ciently. The stu-dio will also start to accept payments from debit cards to make payments easier for parents. The technical dance interactive sessions were fi lled with teaching tools and class content for students from begin-ning, 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 Broad-way Hit “Newsies”. Liz Imperio, creator

of “Breaking Barriers”, choreographed for Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Madonna. 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 Di-vas 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 al-ways 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 his-tory so they understand why they are do-ing 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 pro-gram because she believes in challenging herself to continue to learn and improve. She continues to incorporate what she learned from Slippery Rock into the les-sons that she passes on to her students. She also passes these expectations onto her students. She urges them to continue to never to settle on what they have pre-viously accomplished but always try to learn and improve. Neidich adds, “I think

As many as 40 percent of American families do not have a family emergency plan in place, according to Save theChildren®, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving children a healthy start and protection from harm. Butemergencies can happen to anyone at any time, making emergency preparedness and safety education importantissues 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 conse -quences can be devastating,” said Dr. Gloria Julius, vice president of education and professional development for PrimroseSchools®, 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 Savethe Children to educate families and children inside and outside our classrooms on the importance of emergency prepar -edness, 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 yourchildren 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 andtaking steps to ensure your family is ready to respond if a disaster strikes.

3. My Kids Are Safe with Me

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

teach ing your children what to expect if a dis -

aster strikes when you aren’t together. Deter-

mine 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 emer -

gencies. 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 pre -

paredness 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.

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.

1. It Won’t Happen Here

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.

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 emergen cies. 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.”

Emergency Prep: Myths vs. Reality

Create an Emergency KitSave the Children suggests pre-paring 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 con-tact 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

Make a family plan anddetermine:

� The facilities that will be usedas shelters in your communityin case of emergency

� A designated meet-up locationif your family is separated

� An emergency contact outsideof your area who would notbe affected by a local disaster

Teach your children:

� Basic personal information to identify themselves ifseparated from you

� How to dial 911

� Your family’s meet-uplocations

� How to reach your family’sout-of-town contact

Emergency Checklist: Are You Prepared?If the unthinkable happens, your children will look to you to knowhow to react and respond. Use the checklist below to help yourfamily prepare and keep children safe in a disaster.

Have a communicationsstrategy:

� Program all family cellphones with “ICE” (In Case of Emergency) contacts

� Include all family phonenumbers plus out-of-towncontacts

� Remind family members that text messages often get through in an emer -gency, even when a phone call can’t

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 educa-tors. 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 fi rm believer in continu-ing 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.

BrakesThe brake system is a car’s most important safety system. Afaulty brake system may impede your ability to safely slowyour vehicle in inclement driving conditions or avoid an acci -dent. Brakes sustain normal wear and eventually need to bereplaced for both performance and safety reasons. Ignoringroutine maintenance and letting brake pads wear too thin canlead to costly rotor and drum replacement, in addition tocompromising your ability to execute a sudden stop safely.

� Have your complete brake system thoroughly inspectedannually and replace equipment as needed.

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

� Don’t overlook the parking brake, which also may requireadjustment or replacement parts.

Wheels and TiresWhen roads become wet or icy, the right wheels and tires canhelp ensure you have the traction you need to maintain control.Maintaining tire balance and wheel alignment reduces tirewear and improves handling and fuel economy. Tire replace -ment is necessary if the tread depth is below the minimumlegal 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 reducesoptimum handling.

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

� Have your car’s alignment checked at least annually or atthe 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 accel -erated wear on shock absorbers and struts.

Whether you do it yourself or take your car to a professionalservice technician, the Car Care Council recommends thesebasic maintenance procedures to keep your vehicle operatingat its best:

1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering,brake and transmission, as well as windshield washersolvent 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 thebrake 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 unu-sual noise.

6. Check the heating, ventilating and air condi -tioning system, as proper heating and coolingperformance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting.

7. Inspect the steering and suspension systemannually, including shock absorbers, struts and chassisparts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other relatedcomponents.

8. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread.Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tiresshould also be checked for bulges and bald spots.

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

Conducting 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 carspecial attention can also protect your safety.

“Getting your vehicle ready for winter while temperatures are still mild is a proactive approach to preventive maintenance thathelps 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 winterapproaches. Learn about the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair, and order a free copy of the council’s CarCare Guide, at www.carcare.org.

MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

BatteryYour battery should be securely mounted, with connectionsclean, tight and corrosion-free. If the battery is three yearsold or more, it should be tested and replaced if necessary.

HeadlightsHeadlights play a major role in safe driving; the chances foraccidents increase if you can’t see or be seen. The lightingsystem provides nighttime visibility, signals and alerts otherdrivers, and supplies light for viewing instruments and thevehicle’s interior.

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

� Keep headlights, tail lights and signal lights clean. Exter -nal dirt and debris can dim operational lights, making itdifficult to be seen by others.

� Make sure your headlights are properly aimed. If theyaren’t, headlights blind other drivers and reduce yourability to see the road.

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

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

Windshield WipersThe wiper system keeps excessive water, snow and dirtfrom building up on the windshield, maintaining clearvisibility. 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 whencracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering.

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