SPRING CAR CARE I 2015
Holding On To Your Car Tips for a safe, long-lasting vehicle
(Family Features) While driving a new vehicle off the lot may sound tempting, the financial commitment it brings is not an option for most families. Instead, hanging on to your old set of wheels is the smarter choice for a number of reasons. Taking good care of your car not only improves safety and dependability, it can have a positive impact on your wallet.
"Hanging on to your current vehicle allows you to redirect money you would spend on a new car to pay off credit card debt, college loans and other bills, beef up savings or even take a road trip vacation," said Rich White, executive director with the Car Care Council. "By simply budgeting the equivalent of just one new car payment, consumers could cover an entire year's worth of basic maintenance." Even the cost of fixing a serious engine issue is a more sensible economic decision, added White. For the cost of an average down payment on a new car or truck, a vehicle can be repowered with a remanufactured or rebuilt engine and gain years of reliable service. "The bottom line is that a properly maintained vehicle is safer, more dependable, more fuel efficient, less polluting and more valuable," White added. The experts at the Car Care Council offer these 10 general tips for those looking to maintain the life of their vehicle: 1. Check all fluids, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze or coolant. 2. Check hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of wear. 3. Check the battery and replace if necessary. 4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake 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 unusual noise. 6. Check engine performance to make sure it is delivering the best balance of power and fuel economy and producing the lowest level of emissions. 7. Check the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system as proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and safety. 8. Inspect the steering and suspension system annually, including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts, such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components. 9. Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. 10. Check the wipers and lighting so that you can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation. The next time you consider purchasing a new car, think about investing in the vehicle you already own for significant savings, as well as enhanced reliability and safety. For more tips to extend the life of your car, visit www.carcare.org.

Spring Driving Tips From AARP
Be sure your vehicle is ready for rain by replacing your windshield wipers at least once a year. Don’t drive faster than your wipers can clear water from the windshield. Avoid driving through large puddles, which can impair your brakes, cloud your vision, or cause you to hydroplane and lose control of your vehicle. If you can’t avoid a puddle and find your vehicle hydroplaning, gently ease your foot off of the accelerator-do not brake.

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."
For more information about the check engine light and other maintenance information regarding your automobile, visit www.carcare.org.
That Infamous Check Engine Light What This Common Car Alert Means
(Family Features) It's a situation that has likely happened to 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
"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." Seek professional assistance
When scheduling service, make sure the repair shop that examines your vehicle has professional technicians who are trained and

Noise: Screeching, grinding or clicking noises when applying the brakes. Pulling: Vehicle pulls to one side while braking.
Low pedal: Brake pedal nearly touches the floor before engaging.
Hard pedal: Must apply extreme pressure to the pedal before brakes engage. Grabbing: Brakes grab at the slightest touch to the pedal. Vibration: Brake pedal vibrates or pulses, even under normal braking conditions. Light: Brake light is illuminated on your vehicle’s dashboard.
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.
The brake care experts at the Car Care Council recommend motorists watch for these signs:
7 Signs Your Brakes Should Be Inspected
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.
Preserve the life of your vehicle and enhance overall safety with routine brake inspections on your vehicle.
“When it comes to vehicle safety, the brake system is at the top of the list, so have your brakes checked by an auto service professional at least once a year,” said Rich White, executive director with the Car Care Council. “Knowing the key warning signs that your brakes may need maintenance will go a long way toward keeping you and others safe on the road.”

“Love Letters from God”
Words of
Faith &Hope
“THE HOPE OF THE CROSS” “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God …” I Peter 3:18
We are familiar with the story of Palm Sunday. It was the first day of our Lord’s last week on earth. On that day he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey – a deliberate and symbolic act of courage and love. Jesus often used drama to teach a lesson. He came riding on a donkey, the symbol of humility, rather than on a horse (symbol of military strength). As a noted Bible scholar once said, “Humankind might refuse to listen, but one could not fail to see.” The message of Palm Sunday is “Behold, your king is coming to you… mounted on a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21:5). The donkey was a beast on which kings rode when they came in peace. It was a royal reception. As He entered the city, the people excitedly waived palm branches (symbol of triumph) and shouted “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the Highest! (John 12:12, 13). There is a hint of hope in the word Hosanna which literally means “save now” (Psalm 118:25). Little did they know, and how disappointed they must have been to learn Jesus came as the Prince of peace, not as a God of war. As events would play out, tragic as they were, those with ears to hear and eyes to see would discern the real message of His crucifixion. The cross was a once and for all time event. It will never need to be repeated, but it must always be remembered. Why do we call it “Good” Friday? It would be more accurate to call it “God’s Friday” because that was the day God revealed His supreme love for humankind by offering His one and only Son for the salvation of the world. Thus, the cross is our only hope for salvation. Prayer: Dear Lord, may I always be grateful for Your love for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen

In Memory of My Son
Charlie Keith Massey Born 7/9/79 Went to be with the Lord 3/24/07
My son is like a River flowing across this land. If you go to the beginning of the Missouri River you would find a small stream. One so small you could just step over the River. When my son started his walk with God, he was just a small stream. With the help of Pastor Chapman he became a mighty River. God put his love in my son’s heart and the River began to flow.
Everyone here will help to keep this river flowing. Each time you think of my son and his love for the Lord, this River will flow faster and faster. If you go down a river you will find a place where the flow is slow. You can just walk along and enjoy the river.
Then the River is flowing fast and stirring up the bottom, making the River look a little murky. Just stay with the River and you will come to the place where that murky water will become so crystal clear. The River will become so clear that you can see all the colored rocks on the bottom, looking like precious stone and jewels.
My son’s love for the Lord became just that clear. One day far into the years to come, someone will be thinking back over his or her past years. Then they will say to themselves, “When I was young, a young man named Charlie Keith came and told me about the love of Jesus, and I am so glad.”
At that time, that River will flow so fast and strong it will flow right into heaven and be with our Lord. One day Jesus will be walking by and say what a clear and cool stream, and put His hand in just to refresh Himself. Jesus will say... all because He loved me. That is my son. His love for the Lord became a mighty River indeed. Until we are with you again... We Love You Son Mom & Dad
