SPRING CAR CARE I 2016

But it’s never too early to start protecting a vehicle’s resale value, especially if you hope to recoup as much of your vehicle investment as possible when the time comes to sell your car or trade it in for a newer model. The following are some ways motorists can protect the resale value of their vehicles from the moment the dealer tosses them the keys.

How to protect your car’s resale value

• Keep all maintenance records. New cars typically do not require much maintenance. But drivers should keep records of all work and maintenance done on their vehicles, even if that work does not extend beyond routine tuneups or oil changes. Keeping maintenance records shows prospective buyers you prioritized taking care of the vehicle over the years, and that makes the car or truck more attractive to preowned vehicle buyers who want to avoid buying a lemon or a car that has not been taken care of.

Few drivers start thinking about resale

value when driving a new car off of the dealership lot for the first time. Still enamored with that new car smell, drivers can be excused for not thinking of resale value as they put the pedal to the metal and speed off in their brand new ride.

• Don’t overlook looks. Looks can be deceiving, but new car buyers who eventually plan to sell their vehicles should do all they can to keep the car looking as new as it did the day it was first driven off the dealership lot. Much like homeowners benefit when selling a home with curb appeal, a car that looks good gives buyers the impression that it was well taken care of. But a dirty car or one with lots of dings and dents is a red flag to preowned car buyers. • Keep a clean interior. New car owners typically maintain some strict rules with regard to food and beverages in their vehicles. After all, no one wants their brand new car to succumb to stains or spills. But the longer drivers have a car the more lax they tend to become with regard to allowing food and drinks into their cars, and that can ultimately hurt the resale value of the vehicle. Maintain a clean interior whether you just bought the car or have

driven it for a few years. Much like an impressive exterior leaves a lasting impression, a clean interior that has not succumb to coffee stains or muddy boots is more likely to impress buyers than a car with an interior that has seen better, cleaner days.

• Drive defensively. It’s not just what you do to a car but how you drive the car that can affect its resale value. Driving defensively reduces your risk of accident, and an accident-free preowned vehicle is a top priority for potential buyers. But driving defensively also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, as over time constant stop-and-go, aggressive driving takes its toll on vehicle engines and other components. • Periodically examine the vehicle history report. Today’s preowned car buyers know to ask for a

vehicle history report before buying a car. If your vehicle history report contains any suspicious or inaccurate information, you may be forced to sell the car for less than it’s worth or delay selling until you can have any issues corrected. That won’t necessarily happen overnight, but you can avoid dealing with a host of issues all at once by periodically examining the vehicle history report. Any discrepancies on the report can be brought to the attention of your insurance company, who can then work with you to correct the issues and restore your vehicle’s reputation. Resale value may not be foremost on the minds of new car owners, but the earlier buyers begin to factor resale value into their car-care routines, the more they will benefit down the road. SC153961

SPRING CAR CARE I 2016

It’s Road Construction Season. Driver’s Are Urged to Consider Safety of Road Workers Safety agencies across the nation join forces to increase public awareness of work-zone safety issues. As part of the Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) national safety campaign, a vision of eliminating fatalities on our nation's roads, National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) became a national event in 2000. While the number of work zone fatalities has dropped significantly since then, there’s much more that needs to be done, and that starts with you, the driver. The theme for the 2016 National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 11 through the 18th was "Don't Be That Driver!" It only takes a split second of distraction to dramatically change lives forever.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Michigan State Police (MSP), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Consumers Energy, the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association (MITA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) have teamed up to urge all motorists to be aware of work zones and focus at all times behind the wheel.

"National studies show that over 95 percent of all crashes are the direct result of driver error," said First Lieutenant Jim Flegel of the MSP. "Work zones are dynamic places that can change from minute to minute, so motorists should slow down, use extra focus and not tailgate." Throughout the country in 2014: • Driver and vehicle passengers accounted for 82 percent of work zone fatalities. • 669 work zone traffic-related fatalities occurred (up 13 percent from 2013), with 46 crashes involving multiple fatalities; • 31,251 work zone injuries occurred (a 9 percent increase from 2013) • 116 worker fatalities occurred (a 9 percent increase from 2013) • 246 large trucks and buses (235 large trucks, 11 buses) were involved in fatal crashes in work zones (a 27 percent increase from 2013).

"The faces of people who are represented by crash statistics could be any one of us," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "Each one of those numbers represents a person who left behind parents, siblings, children, and friends who were devastated by their loss. The tragedy of these lost lives is unspeakable. Those that are lost in work zone crashes touch each of us personally because they were part of our industry and by extension, our lives."

Spring is here and water sport enthusiasts are anxious to get on the river for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. The Kalamazoo River basin remains high, swift and very cold as a result of heavy rainfall over the past few weeks. Currents are extremely strong and fast, and there are several underwater hazards which may cause even the most experienced kayaker or canoers to have difficulties. Plainwell DPS urges river-goers and novice kayakers to refrain from kayaking or canoeing inthe Kalamazoo River until waters subside to safer levels. Those who do take to the water should take extra precautions such as filing a safe boating plan with someone telling them their entry and exit points and time of return. Boaters should also know their location at all times, have a full charged cellphone on them in a waterproof case and must wear personal flotation devices (life jackets). Boaters should also be cautious not to overload their kayak or canoe and be mindful of capacity limitations and the current cold water temperatures which could cause hypothermia in a matter of minutes. Bystanders are cautioned against jumping into moving waters to help. Those citizens who attempt to help anyone in distress should first call 911. Do not enter the water, even with a life jacket. Use items such as long poles, branches, or ropes to reach out to victims and be careful around riverbanks which may collapse due to high water erosion.

“ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING?” By Rev. Dan Minor

revdminor@att.net _____________________________________ “As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” - Mark l0:17

Shel Silverstein wrote a delightful poem, “Lookin’ for My Missin’ Piece” which in part reads:

“Oh, I’m lookin’ for my missin’ piece … Hi-dee-ho, here I go, lookin’ for my missin’ piece…Because IT is missing a piece, IT cannot roll very fast. So IT stops to talk to a worm, or smell a flower, or let a butterfly land on its head. One day IT discovers a piece that seems perfect… In jubilation, IT begins to roll, faster and faster, because IT is now perfect. IT rolls so fast that IT can no longer talk to a worm or smell a flower… So IT stops rolling and IT sets down its missing piece gently and slowly rolls away. Not surprisingly, then, IT can now smell the flowers and talk to the worms and stop for butterflies. IT has learned a valuable lesson … there is value in incompleteness.”

Once there was a young man who was “looking for his missing piece.” The story is recorded in Mark l0:17-27. He had it all … wealth, youth, position and possessions. He had even kept the commandments, but there was still something missing in his life. So he came to Jesus asking what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus could see that the young man’s problem was his love of money. Jesus said, “Go, and sell everything you have … then come follow me” (Mark l0:21). The Scripture says when the man heard this “his face fell and he went away sad, because he had great wealth” (Mark l0:22). Jesus was not saying disposing of wealth is a requirement of entering heaven. It has been said, “The young man’s problem wasn’t that he owned much, but that he was owned by much.” Jesus requires first place in our lives (Matthew 6:33). Salvation is not by works, but by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8, 9). Jesus loves us even when we get it wrong (Mark l0:21). The only way to find personal fulfillment and contentment is by believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and allowing Him to be the Lord of our lives. The story ends with these hopeful words, “With God all things are possible” (Mark l0:27).

Prayer: Dear God, help us to find our missing piece, our “faith-link” in Jesus Christ in whose name we pray. Amen.

Diane (Smith) Shumaker lost her long battle with dementia on April 20, 2016. She will be remembered by all who knew her for loving kindness, her warm smile, and her gracious, gentle ways. Diane loved people and she loved her community. She spent countless hours doing for othersfrom noticing children without proper winter clothing, and doing something about it back in the early 70's, to grocery shopping for people who couldn't go for themselves, and babysitting for friends so they could accomplish their life goals, to creating a loving home where family and ALL friends wanted to gather. Diane took great pride in her family and wanted nothing more than for everyone to be together, especially at the holidays. She enjoyed golf, tennis, fishing, boating, gardening, playing euchre (very competitively), cooking, shopping, and spending time with husband Jack at their place in Florida. Diane would wish to be remembered most of all for the way she loved-unconditionally, non-judgmentally, and graciously- every person she met. Surviving are her husband Kenneth (Jack) Shumaker, son Daniel (Annette) Shumaker, daughter Danene (David) Gless; grandchildren Kayte, Olivia & Mitchell; her sister Sandra (Robert) Nichols; 7 nieces and nephews, and many cousins, all very dear to her.

Donations may be made in her honor to either Plainwell United Methodist or to Wings of Hope Hospice of Allegan.
