(NAPS)—There are a few things you need to do to keep yourself and your pre-cious cargo—kids, friends, pets—safe on snow, ice, slush, black ice and wet roads. Safety on the road is important all year-round, but winter weather calls for extra caution behind the wheel. That’s why many auto safety experts urge motorists to keep road safe-ty at the top of their check-lists this winter and switch to tires specifi cally designed for cold weather driving.

“Every aspect of a winter tire has been engineered to pro-vide the best performance in winter conditions and temperature fl uctuations while maintaining traction on any surface,” said Mark Marrufo of Discount Tire. “Keeping your family safe in every aspect of life is your priority. It is our priority to keep you, your family and your passengers safe while on the road.”

At 45 degrees, vehicles of-ten lose their ability to brake and turn well because of the rubber compound found in all-season tires. That com-

pound begins to gradually harden when temps dip be-low 45 degrees, meaning decreased road traction and less grip. What’s more, snow and ice often pile up in the tire grooves on all-season tires.

Winter tires, on the other hand, are made with higher-silica compounds. This al-lows the tire to deliver much better traction, which reduc-es skidding and improves braking. In fact, in tempera-tures below 45 degrees, winter tires can provide 25 to 50 percent more traction than all-season tires. Two new tires for this winter that use this technology are the Bridgestone WS80 and Mi-chelin X-Ice Xi3. In addition, specialized tread design, which includes thousands of very small slits—called sipes—provides extra road-biting edges for improved winter traction.

Five Tips For Winter Road Safety:

1.Replace your all-season tires with winter tires for driving in temperatures of 45 degrees or below. Make

sure to replace all four tires to avoid an unsafe traction mismatch.

2.Don’t forget the wheels when switching to winter tires. Having a set of wheels specifi cally for your set of winter tires will save money in the long run.

3.Check tire pressure regu-larly and don’t forget the spare. Underinfl ated or overinfl ated tires may result in poor handling, uneven tread wear and poor fuel consumption.

4.Rotate your tires at least every 5,000 miles or earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops.

5.Make sure the tire shop that gets your tires ready for cold temperatures properly torques the lug nuts to the specifi cations for your ve-hicle.

If you’re not sure if you need winter tires, you can get a free safety inspection at any Discount Tire location. For more facts about winter tire safety or to fi nd a Discount Tire store, visit www.dis-counttire.com.

Get Your Car Ready For Winter Roads

As the cost of living continues to rise, holiday shopping also has become much more expensive in recent years, and it can be easy for shoppers to overextend themselves fi nan-cially come the holiday season.

According to a recent Gallup poll, the average American plans to spend around $790 per holiday season, although many go above and beyond that amount. Starting off the new year in debt is a recipe for stress, which can have nega-tive repercussions for the rest of the year.

In addition to overspending during the holiday season, many people stretch themselves thin on Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. One way to make shopping more manageable is to establish spend-ing limits that dictate how much each family member can spend on each gift he or she buys.

It is important to exercise tact when approaching the sub-ject of gift limits. Discuss the topic with friends and family members with whom you usually exchange gifts long be-fore the holiday season. Agree on a reasonable amount of money each person will spend on gifts. If necessary, ask ev-eryone to write down a fi gure and then determine the aver-age, using that fi gure as your spending limit.

HOW TO ESTABLISH GIFT SPENDING LIMITS

Establishing a spending limit makes it easier for every family to aff ord their holiday purchases. If there are six people on your shopping list and you’re spending $50 per person, you know to allocate $300 for gifts. Saving and budgeting can be adjusted accordingly.

When no such limit is es-tablished, you may go over-board to compensate, even if you cannot aff ord to do so.

Another way to save money is to suggest giving the gift of experiences rather than tan-gible and potentially costly gifts. For example, take a loved one out for dinner or suggest going on vacation together to make better use of your collective funds. A well-timed extended family vacation in lieu of gift exchanges may al-leviate the stress of the holiday season, much of which can be traced to holiday spending.

Establishing a gift-giving strategy and budget for each per-son to work with can make for a more peaceful holiday sea-son by freeing up time to spend with loved ones and plac-ing the focus on family instead of shopping.

Finding the right gift come the holiday season is not always so simple. Many people on your list may seem as though they already have everything they could ever want or need, mak-ing it hard to fi nd them a gift they will truly enjoy.

A great way to fi nd the right gift is to think of a loved one’s hobbies and fi nd something that fosters those passions. Many people love music, and if there happens to be a bud-ding musician or someone who simply loves to rock on your list, then the following gifts may be music to their ears.

• Concert tickets: The ultimate gift for many music fans is tick-ets to see their favorite performer in person. Concert tickets can sell out quickly, so research when tickets will be going on sale and be prepared to purchase them as early as possible. Some credit card companies sponsor concerts and make special arrangements with venues to off er cardholders ad-vanced deals or special packages. Find out if your credit card company has such an off er available for the concert you are buying tickets for.

• Digital gift card: Gone are the days when music fans visit a record store to purchase vinyl records, cassette tapes and even CDs. Many music fans now listen exclusively to digital music, so a gift card for digital downloads from Amazon or iTunes makes a great gift. A subscription to a music-stream-ing service also makes a great gift.

• Theater tickets: Some people’s love of music stems from their love of live theater. Even if your loved one lives nowhere near the bright lights of Broadway, touring companies that perform popular Broadway shows visit cities both big and small across the country. Tickets to such shows can stoke your loved one’s passion for music and make for a great night out on the town.

• Music lessons: Perhaps your loved one is a budding musi-

GREAT GIFTS FOR MUSIC LOVERS

cian who can benefi t from professional instruction? A great way to encourage their aspirations is to fi nance their les-sons with local music or vocal instructors. Visit a nearby college or school for recommendations on local instructors. The franchise “School of Rock” has regional locations and of-fers musical training as well.

• Music store gift certifi cate: Musicians often need to repair or replace their instruments, so a gift card to a music store can make for a much-needed and appreciated gift. Repairs and new instruments can be expensive, so if you plan to go this route, put enough money on the card to make a signifi -cant dent at the register.

• Gadgets: Each year the market seems to off er newer and better ways to listen to music, and these gadgets may be on your loved one’s wish list.

• Thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags end up in land-fi lls after the holiday season. Reusable cloth bags can limit the amount of bags tossed away, and users of plastic bags can re-cycle those bags at appropriate receptacles.

• Four million tons of waste is attributed to shopping bags and wrapping paper. Recycling paper or looking for reusable items in which to wrap gifts can cut down on paper waste.

• Approximately 33 million live trees are cut down and sold in North America each year for Christmas. If you use a live tree, be sure to recycle it so it can be turned into mulch instead of being sent to a landfi ll. Otherwise, consider buying a potted tree and planting it after the holidays.

• Nearly 2.65 billion Christmas cards are sold and exchanged each year in the United States alone. This many cards can fi ll a football fi eld 10 stories high. One less card sent per person can save roughly 50,000 cubic yards of paper. Electronic greetings are another way to save paper.

With lifetimes of experi-ences and seemingly every-thing they could ever want or need in life already at their disposal, seniors can be diffi cult to shop for come the holiday season. Many even insist that their family members save their money and not buy them anything for the holidays.

But if the thought of Grand-ma or Grandma not having something to open come the holidays is simply unac-

ceptable, consider the fol-lowing gift ideas.

Activity assistance devices

The realities of getting older often mean the body slows down and activities may not be as easy as they used to be. Many active seniors are not ready to live sedentary lives, nor should they be forced to do so. Plenty of products ex-ist that can make life easier and more comfortable for older adults.

Television amplifying head-phones are one product that can be a great fi t for seniors, particularly those having diffi culty hearing their tele-visions. The headphones amplify the sound of the programming without dis-turbing others in the room, and many such headphones even allow users to mute their televisions. This feature is perfect for someone who likes to watch TV while a spouse is sleeping or read-ing in the same room.

Other devices that can make life easier for seniors include magnifying prod-ucts or bookholders. In addition, gel seat cushions can take pressure off of the spine in the car or at home.

Food

Food is always a handy gift because it doesn’t take up much room and can be enjoyed at a recipient’s leisure. Perhaps there is something the senior in your life used to enjoy as a child but now fi nds hard

to come by. A search of the Internet may uncover that special treat. You may be able to ship a specialty soft drink or favorite cookie that is not available in a nearby store. Otherwise, ask a store manager if a particular item that’s not in stock in the store can be a special order.

Photos

What grandparent does not

enjoy looking at his or her family members? Comput-er-savvy men and women can use photo software to

design personalized photo books, calendars, mugs, and other photo-related gifts. Just about anything can be emblazoned with a photo, including tote bags and pillows.

Another idea is to collect old photos and compile a memory book. Scan the images so they are pre-served digitally and then print out the images in a book that includes the family history.

Time

Seniors who truly do not want or need anything probably will likely jump

at the opportunity to spend time with loved ones. Treat a friend or family member to a meal out or simply spend a few hours chatting at his or her home. Sometimes the company of a new face and good conversation is the ideal gift.

HELP FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN WHO STUTTER

CAPITAL DISTRICT - Stuttering is a frustrating and embarrass-ing problem for millions of people, but it can be especially tough on elementary school-age children. Help is available for parents, teachers, and speech-language pathologists at most public libraries in the form of a DVD designed to help school-age children who stutter. Some libraries have an older video version. The DVD features students from fi rst through sixth grade, some of who talk about their experiences with stuttering. They talk openly about the teasing they face from classmates and how their stuttering sometimes makes them feel about themselves. The 38-minute DVD, entitled Therapy in Action: The School-age Child Who Stutters, produced by the 67-year-old nonprofi t Stuttering Foundation is available free of charge to public libraries nationwide. Other libraries that will shelve it can contact the Foundation at 1-800-992-9392, e-mail [email protected], or visit www.stutter-inghelp.org or www.tartarmudez.org.

Please carry me as a reminder that You are not forgotten.” The Stars are given freely to any soldier or veteran that we meet, or are mailed to them.

SAFETY TIPS FOR SCHOOL BUS RIDERS

Many students take the bus to school twice a day, fi ve days a week. Approximately 26 million elementary and secondary school children ride school buses daily in the United States, and the U.S. Department of Trans-portation says more than 50 percent of all K-12 students in the country ride yellow school buses, traveling ap-proximately 4 billion miles each year.

The vast majority of these miles are traveled without incident. In fact, according to the National Safety Coun-cil, the national school bus accident rate is 0.01 per 100 miles traveled, compared to 0.96 for other passenger ve-hicles, which makes school buses considerably safer than other passenger ve-hicles.

Though school buses are safe, there are other ways to make them even safer. Chil-dren, especially those new to school buses, may fi nd the bus fun and unique and not pay attention to simple safe-ty rules. But parents should take steps to ensure that youngsters always heed the following school bus safety guidelines.

* Wait for the bus in a safe location that is away from traffi c, ideally staying in a designated school bus stop until the bus arrives.

* Dress for optimal visibil-ity, especially in inclement weather when it can be diffi -cult for the school bus driver and other motorists to see

pedestrians.

* Do not board the bus until it comes to a complete stop. Wait for the driver to open the door, which engages the “Stop” sign for oncoming motorists.

* Use the handrail and enter the bus in an orderly man-ner.

* Promptly fi nd a seat, sit down and buckle the safety belt if there is one available. Students assigned seats on the bus should take their seat without making a fuss.

* Keep backpacks and other belongings out of the center aisle. Store them under your seat or on your lap.

* Remain seated at all times while the bus is in motion.

* Keep arms, hands, legs, and heads inside of the bus at all times.

* Always follow the driver’s instructions and avoid situ-ations that will cause driver distraction.

* Wait for the bus to stop completely before standing

up or attempting to exit.

* Exit the bus in an orderly

manner, without pushing

fellow passengers.

* Only cross the street in

front of the bus. It is very

diffi cult for the driver to see

students crossing behind

the bus.

Christmas is a time of traditions. We all have them. Bringing in and decorating an evergreen tree is one of them. Hanging stockings is another. Indulging in these traditions gives us comfort. Sometimes we participate in traditions that are so ancient that we no longer remember the origin.For instance, in recent years many people have a tradition of hanging a ‘kissing ball’ in their home. Thirty years ago, kissing balls weren’t really seen much if at all. If they were seen, they were homemade. You can now get kissing balls made from the same material as an artificial Christmas tree. These also come with battery operated mini-lights on them. By now kissing balls are a well-entrenched holiday decoration. So, how did kissing balls get their start? To find their origin we need to look to the original kissing ball....mistletoe. Mistletoe is a parasitic plant. Rather than growing roots into the soil to get nutrients, mistletoe forces its roots into the bark of a host tree and sucks the nutrients it needs from it like a vampire. There are several trees that can fall victim to mistletoe including oak trees. A mature clump of mistletoe takes on the familiar spherical shape of the modern kissing ball.Mistletoe is interesting for other reasons. It was never adopted by Christianity into Christmas celebrations.. Not only did the church never sanction the use of mistletoe, its use was actually banned at one time. This is, no doubt, due to the fact that it was highly revered by the ‘pagan’ Druid priests. During the Druid’s solstice celebration, a Druid priest would cut the parasitic mistletoe from the branch of an oak tree and distribute pieces of it to the gathered populace. Part of the mystery of mistletoe to the Druids was that it grew, not from soil, but from the bark of the oak tree. To receive a sprig of mistletoe from the priest was a blessing Druids looked forward to as part of their solstice rituals.Today, all we know about mistletoe is that we are entitled to kiss anyone who stands beneath it. That tradition has its roots in Scandinavian myth. Loki, a troublesome little god, tricked one of the simpler gods into shooting Balder, another young god, with an arrow made of mistletoe. It was the only thing that could harm this favorite son of Freyja. The tears of sorrow Freyja shed became the white berries of the mistletoe. All the Norse gods worked together to restore Balder to life and, in gratitude, Freyja is said to bestow a kiss on anyone who passes beneath mistletoe. Now we are all entitled to kiss anyone we find standing below the mistletoe. You have to love mistletoe for that!The origin of the use of Holly as a holiday decoration is a bit more obscure. It was long believed that “witches” and “evil spirits” had an aversion to holly, so it is likely that it’s use began as a protector of the home during important times of the year like the solstice. There is an ancient Christmas carol that tells of holly and ivy vying for the place of honor as a holiday trim. Holly is eventually chosen because of its red berries. There is also a legend that says that the crown of thorns worn by Christ was made of holly. Until then, the berries of holly were white, but turned red like the drops of Christ’s blood.Even the most common Christmas tree ornament, the glass ball, has a surprising depth of tradition. Solstice celebrations have always been about feasting and eating. In the days before glass blowing had been perfected, folks decorated their tree with fruits, nuts and berries. You’d find apples, pears, cranberries...any fruit that was ripe. They’d need to be eaten soon anyway before they spoiled. Nuts and berries placed on strings to dry would be used as garland. This was a tradition that lasted many centuries and still does. I remember stringing popcorn into garland. Finally glass blowing developed to the point where Christmas ornaments were possible. The most popular ones were blown glass fruits and nuts. Eventually cheaper glass balls were introduced that only suggest fruit in an abstract way. Some people like red balls and some gold but it is like comparing apples and oranges if you know what I mean. Baked goods and candy are right at home on the tree...what child isn’t thrilled by that! Most of us have been involved in a batch of gingerbread people. The invention of striped candy canes was a sweet addition that comes with its own hanger. These are just a few holiday traditions. We are lucky in the United States since every immigrant that has ever arrived has brought along traditions. These traditions enrich and add depth to the season. Enjoy them, share them and pass them along...that’s what they’re for! Thanks for the read.
