WINTERIZE YOUR CAR

While modern vehicles are designed to handle inclement weather conditions, here are some basic vehicle checks every driver should consider as the days get shorter and the temperature drops.

Replace or Refill All Fluids • Coolant: Add the correct antifreeze/water mixture for your vehicle to prevent fluid from freezing in your radiator.

• Freeze-Resistant Wiper Fluid Inspect or Replace Your Tires: Low air pressure and worn tires are especially dangerous on wet or slick roads, as they can reduce traction.

• Snow Tires are a valuable investment that can increase your traction and improve your safety on the road. Many car makers and tire manufacturers recommend changing all four tires to snow tires in the winter. If you don't swap all four, the difference between snow and summer tires can cause other problems for your vehicle. Another option is all-season tires that you drive year-round.

Cold Weather & Battery Capacity : Your battery capacity is reduced by cold weather. A thorough inspection of your battery, cables, terminals, fluid, charge level and manufacture date will help you make sure your car is ready for the winter.

Pit Stop Garage BLDG. 965 | 226-9486

Pack an Emergency Kit

Keeping a safety kit in your car all year is a good idea. Things like road flares, a jack, a lug wrench and a first aid kit should be accessible no matter what. It's a good idea to update this kit with seasonal items that can keep you warm and prepared for Mother Nature's worst.

Items to include in your winter safety kit: • Flashlight • Blanket, leather gloves and hat • Bag of kitty litter or sand: this can help if your tires get stuck in the snow or slush • Ice scraper and brush • Small shovel • Safe and leak-proof container of coolant • Snacks 22ⅼ November 2023

9/1/23 9:47 AM

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING AT CHELI SCHOOL AGE CARE? My favorite part about working at Cheli is watching the kids grow into themselves as people: their interests and what kind of people they are becoming. I love watching them learn everyday and seeing that "ah ha!" moment they experience over and over. Kids also have the best humor and keep me laughing alongside them every day.

WHAT DO YOU WISH THE MISAWA COMMUNITY KNEW ABOUT YOUR PROGRAM? I wish people would understand we don't just "babysit" your kids. We create lesson plans following Boys & Girls Club of America and 4H curriculums and offer a lot of clubs focused on the kids' interests.

Makenna Klingbeil Child & Youth Programs Assistant

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY AT CHELI SCHOOL AGE CARE? My best memories are when I get to make genuine connections with the kids. When they see me as more than a childcare provider, but more as another trusted adult they have on their team who will always cheer them on and support them. I truly care for these kids and dream big for them, as I encourage them to do for themselves.
