How to sanitize your car cabin

If you share your car, drive for Uber or give rides to friends and family members, sanitizing your vehicle is a must. Here’s a brief guide to eliminating viruses from your car’s interior.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS

When cleaning your vehicle, make sure to wear protective gloves and a mask to guard against virus transmission.

BE THOROUGH

Make sure to clean all

“Know high-touch surfaces. This includes the steering wheel, turn signal lever, seatbelts, cupholders, sun visors, door handles (inner and outer), armrests, radio and centre console. If the weather permits, it’s also a good idea to open your windows to air out the cabin.

Use The Right Products

Use a disinfectant with at least 70 per cent alcohol to sanitize the hard surfaces in your vehicle. This includes the dashboard, glove compartment and stereo.

For fabric and leather seats and features, opt for a gentle cleaning solution of dish soap and water. Scrub the fabric or leather well with a microfibre cloth. However, be careful not to soak fabric seats, as this can encourage mould growth in the cushions.

Taking these steps will help ensure that your car is safe to ride in for you and your passengers.

Tips for stocking your car’s emergency kit for spring

You know about the importance of preparing a winter emergency kit for your car, but what about a spring kit? Hot weather can be hard on your vehicle, resulting in unexpected breakdowns. Here’s how to stock your emergency kit to prepare for warmer weather.

• Visibility equipment like road flares or reflective hazard triangles

• Water bottles to stay hydrated in the heat

• Blanket to shade you from the hot sun

• Extra pair of clothing and shoes, including rain gear

• Flashlight or headlamp

• First aid kit, including ointment, gauze, bandages, adhesive tape and tweezers

• Disinfectant wipes

• Sunscreen with SPF 30 or 50

• Booster pack or jumper cables

• Work gloves

• Paper maps

• Insect repellant

• Basic tool kit

• Phone charger or extra battery pack

• Toilet paper

• Snacks that won’t melt, such as granola, dried fruit and nuts

Visit local stores to pick up everything you need to stock your spring emergency kit.

4 Signs You Should Get Your Brakes Checked

When it comes to vehicle safety, your car’s braking system plays a crucial role. Here are four signs that you need to get your brakes professionally serviced.

1. UNUSUAL NOISES

Brake pads have built-in wear indicators that produce a high-pitched squeal when the pads wear down. As soon as you hear this sound — you can’t mistake it! — you need to get your brake pads replaced.

2. VIBRATIONS

It’s normal for your brake system and other car components to pulse and vibrate when you slam on the brakes. However, if your brakes vibrate when applied normally, this is a major red flag. In most cases, brake shudder is caused by an unevenly worn brake rotor.

3. PULLING

If your car pulls to the left or right, it’s likely due to uneven tire pressure, incorrect wheel alignment or a problem with the brake system. If it’s the brakes, you may have a stuck caliper, collapsed brake hose or uneven brake pads.

4. SPONGY PEDAL

If your pedal feels mushy or you have to apply extra pressure when braking, this is usually an indication that the brake fluid isn’t flowing properly Replacing the brake fluid typically corrects this issue.

Finally, note that experts recommend car owners get their brakes checked every six months.

DOIG: Betty Ann Maridee (Uhrich), most recently of Battleford, Sask., died at Battlefords Union Hospital April 5, 2023 with her grandsons by her side. Betty Ann was born Oct. 17, 1938, in Regina to Harry and May Uhrich. Harry was a CN station agent, so Betty Ann moved from place to place with her parents throughout her childhood. One posting was in Loverna, where she met William Robert Paul (Bob) Doig and they were married in October 1955. They lived for a time in Kindersley then moved to Chamberlain in 1958 where they operated the Sonny Boy Esso service station at the junction of Highways 2 and 11 for more than 40 years. Their children, Bryan and Brenda, attended school in Chamberlain and Holdfast. Betty Ann was a homemaker and helped with the service station business for many years, but in the early 1980s she struck out on her own. She established King Kone in the lot beside the service station and her ice cream business became a must-stop mecca for many travelling on Highway 11 and for the locals who knew where to go for a well-deserved treat guaranteed to be satisfying. Her pride in her business was evident in her meticulous attention to product quality, generous servings, customer service and the highest standards of cleanliness. Betty Ann is predeceased by: husband Bob (December 2022); daughter Brenda; brother, James Allyn Uhrich and her parents. She is survived by: son Bryan (Rebecca), Battleford; granddaughter Kathryn (Luc) Blanchard, North Battleford; grandson Jordan (Kendel Lennard) Price, Saskatoon; grandson Cameron (Kari) Doig, Battleford; greatgrandchildren Alfred and Francis Blanchard, Jett and Winnifred Doig; a brother Kevin (Norma) Uhrich, Outlook; sister-in-law Helen Uhrich, Zelandia; sister-in-law Lori Doig, Regina; and numerous nieces and nephews. Betty Ann’s family wishes to express sincere thanks to Battlefords Home Care for their years of excellent care that allowed her to remain in her home as long as possible. They also thank the staff of Battlefords Union Hospital and her physician Dr. A. Dunhin and the medical team and others who helped with her many complex health problems, and the staff at Harwood Manor for their care during her brief time there. In Betty Ann’s memory, donations may be made to the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation.

NIKIFORUK: Joseph

Raymond Nikiforuk, known to all as Ray, was born October 13, 1924 in North Battleford to Andrew and Vasalenka Nikiforuk. He passed peacefully at the age of 98 in his home at Harwood Manor on March 28, 2023. Ray is survived by his wife, Olga, of 73 years who was his constant partner by his side. Ray and Olga had 3 childrenMyron (Tracy), Patty and Wesley (Donna). Ray cherished his grandchildren (Nicholas (Jessica), Janelle (Dallin), Danielle, Natasha (Wade), Tiffany (Kevin) and Colter (Jillyan) and great-grandchildren (Daniel, Charlie, Michael, Kaylee, Macie, Cooper and Parker). Ray was the eighth of nine children: Mary, Olga, David, Stephen, John, Gordon, Alice and is survived by his younger brother, Yaris (Stella). Ray grew up on a farm in the Redfield Dominion Area and continued to farm until he fully retired in 2008 and moved to town. He was very active in his community and was a member of CYMK (a Ukrainian Youth Organization), the National Farmers Union, the Wheat Pool, the Curling Club but most endearing to him was his church, faith and his heritage of which he was a long-standing member of the church - St Volodymyr’s Orthodox Church at Dominion, which his father helped build and still stands today. Ray, better known as Slim, had a mischievous smile, and you couldn’t walk into his home without that smile greeting you at the door, followed by being asked if you would like a drink. Ray always enjoyed company and would stop whatever he was doing to visit, have a drink, share a meal and laugh with anyone that came into their home. Ray’s family and friends gathered to celebrate his life on April 5, 2023 at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church North Battleford, SK. Interment followed at the North Battleford City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the donor’s charity of choice in Raymond’s name. Someone once said, that a person passes twice. Once when they physically pass and once when their name is spoken for the last time. We ask that all of you keep Ray in your hearts and in your minds and speak often and well of him to help his memory stay alive forever. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Eternal Memories Funeral Service & Crematorium - Trevor Watts Funeral Director.
