Tuesday - friday 10:30 to 6:30, Sat. 11:00 to 4:00. I like honest, sincere questions, but a few decades ago there was an older, welleducated man in one of my classes who would ask dishonest questions. These questions were designed to show me up and prompt an intellectual jousting match after which he would, presumably, be seen as the victor. His questions were prompted more out of envy and arrogance than honest inquiry. The Apostle Paul addressed a question concerning the resurrection by someone much like that man in my class. This question is recorded in I Corinthians 15:35 - “But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?” Before Paul answers in subsequent verses, he addresses this “hypothetical” crossexaminer with one word – “Fool” (vs 36). In the Greek this word means “mindless, ignorant and/or egotistical.” It is a term for someone that really has not investigated or thought out matters but asks challenging questions as though he has done so. He is not a seeker of truth; he asks as a self-absorbed egotist trying to parade his superiority or justify his unbelief. What kind of questioner are you, Friend? This Easter season as Christians celebrate the reality of the resurrection, let me encourage you to be an honest seeker. The One Who substituted Himself for you on the cross broke the chains of death to prove that His death accomplished all that was necessary for you to have eternal life. Got questions? Letʼs put on the coffee and talk or visit us on Good Friday at 12 Noon or Easter morning at 11 am.

GM HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this Kroger Retiree #80 Dorothy Gentry Send her a card at, 12711 Hudson Road Hudson, MI 49247 “Hey Gram. Have you got a book mark I could borrow?” The shout came from upstairs where my grandson, Brian, who is a college senior and aspiring history teacher, was sprawled on the floor of a bedroom, surrounded by fat text books, his lap top computer, a paperback copy of a World War II recollection, and the remnants of a box of Girl Scout cookies. I was downstairs with his mother, visiting and catching up on our lives. His dad was in the kitchen, doing what he does beautifully - preparing broiled salmon. I checked a couple of drawers in the dining room, and came up with two paper bookmarks depicting lighthouses of Cape Cod, complete with details and dimensions, along with one from Jerusalem, and another from Switzerland. I met him half way on the stairs, and he was back to his homework. Among the others in the drawer were six done in fabric and carefully cross stitched by my late and very dear friend who started kindergarten with me and we were together all through high school. She was my maid of honor. We married, had children, lost our mates and kept in touch through phone calls and letters even though she was miles away in northern Michigan. We laughed and cried through sorrow and joy and I will keep those special bookmarks forever. She signed and dated them in embroidery, and I smile when I use them and then carefully put them altogether with a rubber band and lay them in the corner of the drawer. I was surprised when Brian asked for a bookmark. They seem to have gone the way of buggy whips and barrel staves. Quite often, I will grab a piece of a grocery list, or even, if I am reading in the bathroom, a piece of toilet tissue to mark my place. Then, when I am reading my little automated Kindle, it just always takes me right back to where I left off. And I suppose one day, I will use it more and more. However, I still like to have a paper page to turn, and mark, should I want to go back and read it over again. I guess Iʼm too much of a control freak to let machines make all my decisions for me. In any case, the nicety of a handmade bookmark has to be a special gift. I have others that were pressed between pieces of plastic holding dried flowers. I was delighted when another friend gave those to me as she had carefully collected and saved the flowers, and when I received the gift in January for my birthday one year, it was like spring all over again. For some time, I collected book marks from foreign countries I visited, and then I started finding beautiful linen tea towels with pictures on them. Not sure what I had planned to do with them all. Right now they are folded in tissue paper in my cedar chest. So many little bits of memories that are disappearing. I still like book marks with funny sayings on them, along with magnets - even though I now use those of birds that were another gift from my daughter. They are like little pieces of art. Doilies are no longer in vogue, yet I save those made by my late mother-in-law who taught herself to crochet and knit and sew and even tat. Iʼm afraid I didnʼt appreciate her talent as much as I should have at the time, and now I have those examples stashed away in the cedar chest as well. I do, consistently use the now, very old, hankies with the beautifully crocheted borders, because I hate carrying Kleenex in my purse, particularly if I am all dressed up. I even check out rummage sales and antique shops for special hankies I know that must have been carried by ladies who were taught to never leave home without one....as I had. As for bookmarks - I am on the hunt for special ones to pass on to Bri, as a remembrance of me. Page 10 • March 30, 2015 www.tipoffonline.com SPRING HAS (ALMOST) SPRUNG!!!! NEW REDUCED PRICES!!!

Diverting one’s attention from the road for mere seconds can have serious, and potentially fatal, consequences. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found distracted driving kills more than 15 people each day while injuring more than 1,200. Any activity that takes attention away from driving is considered a distraction. These include taking your hands off the wheel, daydreaming or engaging in any behavior that takes your eyes off of the road. Certain activities are known distractions, and understanding which habits can be dangerous and making strides to correct behaviors can help save lives, prevent injuries and reduce accident-related expenses. A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute indicates 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes in the United States involve some form of driver distraction. This distraction took place a mere three seconds before the vehicle crash. An Allstate Canada marketing survey of 1,605 Canadian adults conducted between July 26 and July 28 found that, although the vast majority of Canadians thinks driving while distracted is unacceptable, nearly three out of four Canadian drivers admits to engaging in a behavior that is considered a distraction. That is perhaps in part because drivers are not aware just how distracting some the following behaviors truly are. Using mobile phones Leading the list of the top distractions behind the wheel are mobile phones. Phones now do more than just place calls, and drivers often cannot pull away from their phones, even when driving. According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, studies have shown that driving performance is lowered and the level of distraction is higher for drivers who are heavily engaged in cell phone conversations. The use of a hands-free device does not lower distraction levels. The percentage of vehicle crashes and nearcrashes attributed to dialing is nearly identical to the number associated with talking or listening. Accident rates have increased thanks to texting, which involves a person taking his or her hands and eyes off of the road. A 2009 study by Car and Driver magazine compared the dangers of texting while driving to the effects of driving drunk to see which would be more dangerous under the same conditions. Measuring the time it takes to brake after being alerted by a red light to stop, the reaction time was recorded when the driver was legally drunk, reading an e-mail and sending a text. Texting easily elicited the slowest response time. Ironically, in January 2011, Texas man Chance Bothe drove off of a cliff after texting that he had to stop texting or risk dying in a car accident. Bothe survived but sustained significant injuries and had to be revived from death three times. Moving Objects Whether there’s a pet bouncing in the front seat or children being boisterous in the back, passengers and items moving around the car are significant distractions. Turning around to look at the kids or to reach for a ball that may be rolling around on the floor of the car can take a person’s eyes off the road. If something really is important and needs to be addressed, it is much safer to pull over and take care of it before getting back on the road.

Perhaps they’re checking out a house in a new neighborhood or thought they saw someone they knew on the street corner. It can be easy to veer into the direction your eyes are focused, causing an accident. In addition to trying to stay focused on the road, some drivers prefer the help of lane departure warning systems. Eating Those who haven’t quite mastered walking and chewing gum at the same time may want to avoid eating while driving. The majority of foods require a person’s hands to be taken off of the wheel and their eyes to be diverted from the road. Reaching in the back seat to share some French fries with the kids is also distracting. Try to eat meals before getting in the car. For those who must snack while en route, take a moment to pull over at a rest area and spend 10 minutes snacking there before resuming the trip. Reading Glancing at an advertisement, updating a Facebook status or reading a book are all activities that should be avoided when driving. Even pouring over a traffic map or consulting the digital display of a GPS system can be distracting. When driving, attention should be placed on the task of safely getting from point A to point B. All other activities taking place in the vehicle are distractions that can end up risking a person’s life.

A good mechanic goes a long way toward ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the road and that those drivers’ vehicles perform at their peak for years to come. That’s an important role to play, and it’s why many drivers acknowledge that choosing a mechanic is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Rest assured you don’t need to be a car guy or gal to find a trustworthy and talented mechanic. You might just need to open a dialogue with a prospective mechanic, discussing a handful of topics that can help you feel more comfortable and know you have made the right choice in automotive service provider once a final decision has been made. Certification Certification can go a long way toward helping drivers find mechanics they can trust. The National 904 E.

Beat the Heat cern for many drivers, and rightfully so. Consumer advocacy groups have exposed many mechanics who pass off used auto parts as new parts, charging their customers new part prices along the way. While there’s no way drivers can guarantee they won’t fall victim to such criminal behavior, they can inquire about company policies regarding vehicle parts. Does the garage even install used parts? If so, do they let drivers choose either new or used parts before any work is done? If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you won’t have to pay for it again. Documentation The preowned vehicle market is thriving, and drivers who take care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their rewards for being good owners when it comes time to sell the car. When interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if they are willing to provide detailed documentation of any work they do on your vehicle. Such documentation can then be shared with prospective buyers when you want to sell the car, and it also serves as a way to keep the garage accountable for all the work they have done on the car throughout your relationship. Institute for Automotive Service Excellence was founded in 1972 and continues to work to improve the quality of automotive service and repair by testing automotive technicians and certifying those who live up to or exceed ASE standards. An ASE-certified technician should have his or her credentials readily available to prospective customers, and these credentials list each professional’s area of certification. When shopping for a new mechanic, make sure that he or she is ASE-certified. In addition, discuss with the mechanic his or her work history, including any additional areas of expertise. Pricing policies Many mechanics offer free estimates, but that should not be taken for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate, drivers should confirm with the mechanic who will conduct the examination if the estimate is free or if they will be charged an inspection fee. In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should also inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the facility. Labor can be quite expensive, so it’s best that you know these rates in advance of any repairs being conducted on your vehicle. It’s also important to get a rundown of the company payment policies, especially if your vehicle is in need of potentially costly repairs. You don’t want the bill to shock you once the work has been completed, so don’t hesitate to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.

While an afternoon spent indoors watching the drops fall can be relaxing, driving in the rain is anything but. It requires extra concentration and improved reaction time. Rainy conditions can be challenging and treacherous, and drivers should proceed with caution on rain-slicked roads. Rain is blamed for many accidents, but many of these situations are largely preventable among drivers who adapt to the weather and roadway conditions. Here are some things to consider. * Reduced visibility occurs from wiper blades, glare (particularly at night) and heavy downpours. When you are unable to see the road ahead, including other vehicles, reduce your speed. If the rain is coming down in torrents, pull over to the side of the road and wait for a respite. Turn on your lights to ensure you are visible to other cars on the road. * Recognize that rain can cause slick conditions. A film of water develops on the roadways, and that can affect the performance of your vehicle’s tires. Less traction means the car can slip and slide. Hydroplaning, or coast- ing on the surface of the water, is common. Another, lesser-known condition is slickness caused by grease and oil in the asphalt. During a long dry spell, these substances build up on the roads. When it rains, the oil and water doesn’t mix, bringing the oils to the surface and exacerbating slick conditions. The first few hours of a rainstorm can be quite dangerous until heavier rains wash the oils away. * Water spraying up onto tires and brakes can compromise braking ability. That means it could take longer to stop under wet conditions. Do not tailgate and leave extra room between vehicles. If you drive through a puddle of water, pump the brakes and test them out to be sure you can stop. Brake earlier so that other drivers understand your intentions and can react accordingly. * Avoid extremely large puddles. First of all, you cannot judge the depth of the puddle and you may end up getting stuck, especially in the event of roadway flooding. Water splashing into the engine compartment may damage electrical components. Steer around puddles to be on the safe side. * Use extra care watching out for pedestrians. A normally observant person may be distracted by the rain, puddles and wrangling an umbrella and veer into the path of cars. Be mindful of the side of the roads and where pedestrians may be, such as around parked cars. * Change wiper blades twice per year. You do not want to be caught with shoddy wiper blades in poor conditions.

WE HAVE HILLSDALE COUNTY’S ✔ FREE mounting Without an effective wiper blade, rain cannot be cleared effectively from the windshield. * Limit distractions inside of the car to focus even more of your attention on the road. While some have become accustomed to answering phone calls or fielding questions from the backseat while driving, avoid such distractions when driving in the rain. Turn down the radio if you must and encourage passengers to remain quiet until safely home. * Leave extra time to get to your destination.

Rushing may increase your risk of being in an accident, so always leave extra travel time when driving in wet conditions. * Make way for emergency personnel. Accidents and bad weather are common. Slow down or pull over to allow emergency vehicles to pass by. If there are flashing lights on the side of the road, move into the left lane to give a wide girth around first responders. Driving in the rain requires drivers to exercise caution. Making a few adjustments improves safety on the roadways. 37 W. Carleton Rd.

One of the best ways to do so is by investing in the maintenance and care of your vehicle. For those looking to increase the life of their car, the solution can be found at the local auto parts store. While the technology used in today’s vehicles may make repairs seem impossible, even the smallest fixes can greatly enhance performance, plus ease the strain on your pocketbook. Others fear that doing work on their car will void the warranty, but this is not the case. In fact, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a federal law that protects it regardless of who does the auto repair. Fixing your car is a rewarding experience, giving you a sense of pride for not only learning something new, but accomplishing the task all on your own. Start small When it comes to vehicle maintenance, learn the simple jobs first. These tasks can include checking fluids, replacing air filters and changing the oil. The experiences learned starting small will give you the tools and know-how to tackle larger jobs. The experts at the Car Care Council offer these tips for making the most of your budget and your trip to the local auto parts retailer. Enhance appearance Because household cleaners can harm the interior and exterior surfaces of your car, it’s important to invest in the proper tools to give it a showroom shine. Simple repairs made easy Whether you need to replace your windshield wipers or a light bulb, your local parts store has what you need to fix it yourself. Many also include catalogs or digital kiosks to assist you in finding the right part for your car. If you should have any questions, an auto parts counter person can assist. Stock up on DIY products The parts store makes it easy to keep important maintenance items in stock at home. For example, transmission fluid, oil, brake fluid and coolant are all valuable items to have on hand. Tackle bigger repairs Once you’re ready to fix more involved repairs on your own, there are a few things you should know. The auto parts counter staff will ask for information, such as the make, model and year of your vehicle, as well as what kind of engine it uses. All of this information can be found in your owner’s manual. From here, your parts person will help you get what you need to do the job right. Personalize your ride From floor mats to fuzzy dice, your local parts store also has everything you need to personalize your automobile and make a statement. Being familiar with your local auto parts store is the first step in enhancing the life of your car, plus it saves you a little cash along the way.

Lights are normal wear items that require periodic inspection and replacement. The lighting system provides nighttime visibility; signals and alerts other drivers; and supplies light for viewing instruments and the vehicle’s interior. In addition to replacing dimming, rapidly blinking and non-functioning lights, the following tips from the experts at the Car Care Council can help keep you safe: * Keep headlights, tail lights and signal lights FULL SERVICE REPAIRS & PARTS clean. External dirt and debris can dim operational lights from being seen by others. * Make sure that your headlights are properly aimed. Misaimed 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. * If there is any doubt on whether or not your headlights should be on, turn them on. Lights not only help you see better in early twilight, they also make it easier for other drivers to see you.

You’re driving down the road when out of nowhere the words “check engine” illuminate from the dashboard. While this glowing symbol may cause you to panic, there are a few things you should know about this common issue. “Motorists should not get spooked when the check engine light comes on,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. “When illuminated, the check engine light usually means that a vehicle system, such as the ignition, fuel injection or emission control, is not operating properly.” List of common causes Common malfunctions that can cause the check engine light to illuminate include a faulty oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor, or spark plugs and wires. If the light flashes, the condition is more critical and must be checked immediately to prevent severe damage, which may include catalytic converter damage. “Even if the vehicle appears to be running normally, ignoring the warning light could result in more costly repairs,” continued White. “At the very least, the light could be alerting you to an engine problem that is negatively impacting fuel economy and costing you money.” GENE’S SERVICE GET YOUR TIRES HERE!

By spending a little now to increase fuel efficiency, drivers can multiply fuel savings and save more money at the pump, according to the Car Care Council. Here are a few simple steps for motorists to be car care aware to improve fuel efficiency and save money in the long run: * Engine performance: Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of four percent. * Tire pressure: Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent. * Motor oil: Improve gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent by using the grade of motor oil recommended by the manufacturer. * Air filters: Replacing clogged air filters on older vehicles can improve fuel economy and will improve performance and acceleration on all vehicles. * Gas cap: Damaged, loose or missing gas caps allow gas to vaporize into the air. For more tips to increase savings and fuel efficiency for your vehicle, visit www.carcare.org. Seek professional assistance When scheduling service, make sure the repair shop that examines your vehicle has professional technicians who are trained and certified in OBDII diagnosis and repair. The technician will connect your vehicle’s computer system to a diagnostic scan tool, which will provide trouble codes indicating why the check engine light was activated. Once the problem is identified and the repair is made, the car’s computer is then reset.

Noise: Screeching, grinding or clicking noises when applying the brakes. 2. Pulling: Vehicle pulls to one side while braking. 3. Low pedal: Brake pedal nearly touches the floor before engaging. 4. Hard pedal: Must apply extreme pressure to the pedal before brakes engage. 5. Grabbing: Brakes grab at the slightest touch to the pedal. 6. Vibration: Brake pedal vibrates or pulses, even under normal braking conditions. 7. Light: Brake light is illuminated on your vehicle’s dashboard. Brakes are a normal wear item on any vehicle and they will eventually need to be replaced. Factors that can affect brake wear include driving habits, operating conditions, vehicle type and the quality of the brake lining material. Understanding these warning signs can help you and your family stay safe on the road. For more ways to enhance the safety of your vehicle, visit www.carcare.org.
