Our students show us the way

JEAN GODDEN O

ne of the most urgent pieces of unfinished business before this nation is an imperative to do something about gun violence. Our gruesome Summer of mass shootings has intensified pressure on Congress, and especially on congressional Republicans, to take up gun safety legislation. There is widespread agreement that we must act to stop this constant carnage. Nor should we allow mealy mouthed politicos to offer “thoughts and prayers” before they place blame on video games and mental illness. These convenient scapegoats—mental illness and video games—may figure marginally in some crimes. But, far and away, the main culprit remains easy availability of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines that increase the number of rounds that can be fired. In the Dayton, Ohio, shooting, Connor Betts used an assault rifle fitted with a 100-round drum magazine to kill nine and injure 27 in just 32 seconds. Time and again President Trump has appeared to show some interest in gun safety laws, only to pull back when pressured by NRA officials. Playing the same game are gatekeepers like Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell who says he won’t

submit any gun-control measures unless they meet with President Trump’s approval. There has been some bipartisan discussion of gun safety measures in Congress but, as usual, the lawmakers’ resolve diminishes over time. Some retreat to dubious solutions like arming teachers or a mandatory death penalty. Although we see inertia at the highest levels, there is still reason to hope. That hope rests squarely with our young people. It is these energized youth who have taken increasingly large, responsible roles in the national fight against gun violence. They have taken on the struggle that many of their elders have neglected. First to step up were activist survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed and 17 injured. Parkland students responded by organizing the March for Our Lives held in Washington and have continued to push for action. This crusade has spread to other youth groups. Recently it was West Seattle high school students calling for change. There is a very personal connection for West Seattle students. Recalling last January’s lockdown at the school, they have formed a Gun Violence Prevention Club and are pushing students to speak out, educate others and to provide their viewpoints to lawmakers. In our state, there has been progress. With active help from local youth, Initiative 1639 got 60 percent state voter approval. The initiative took effect July 1, along with 10 related gun control bills. The state now has laws designed to keep weapons out of the hands of domestic abusers and people with mental health issues, as well requiring ownership storage requirements and enhanced background checks for owners of semi-automatic assault rifles. Minimum age requirement for the semi-automatic rifles was raised to 21. This is not to suggest that what our state has accomplished is sufficient. More can and should be done. It is hoped that the youths’ resolve will not flag, that they will keep pressing. Our lawmakers need to

look at other gun safety measures such as a ban on those high-capacity magazines. The national scene is far grimmer. Can young people and right-thinking citizens make progress with spineless lawmakers in the other Washington? Or must we campaign to replace those who do little or nothing? The issue for these enlightened young people, as well as for the rest of us, is to act now. For any of us in the wrong place (a school, nightclub, church, synagogue or Walmart) this mission is vital. It could be a matter of life or death. Jean Godden is a veteran Seattle PI and Seattle Times newspaperwoman and city councilwoman. Her column will give us an insider’s view of city politics.

PCC Community Market reopens its expanded West Seattle store Oct. 2

Rendering courtesy of PCC Community Markets

The expanded PCC Community Market in West Seattle will be the world’s first grocery store to complete the Living Building Challenge’s green building Petal Certification. The 24,000-square-foot store is nearly double the size of the previous space.

The highly anticipated reopening will debut the world’s first grocery store to complete the Living Building Challenge’s green building Petal Certification PCC Community Markets (PCC), one of Seattle’s original grocers and the largest community-owned food market in the U.S., announced today that its West Seattle store will reopen on Wednesday, October 2 on the same site as the original location at 2749 California Ave. S.W. The 24,000-square-foot store is nearly twice the size of the previous space and features an array of new offerings, like an expanded produce department, PCC’s largest bulk selection, an outdoor patio, café, taqueria, pizzeria, self-serve grain bowls, and more.

“As a West Seattle resident, I am absolutely thrilled to reopen our West Seattle store next month,” said Cate Hardy, CEO. “Since opening this store in 1989, the community has graciously welcomed us, and our West Seattle membership has grown to nearly 4,000 over the last 30 years. We greatly appreciate the support throughout our redevelopment and can’t wait to welcome shoppers to our new space. This store combines some of the most loved aspects of PCC, like our local, organic and sustainably sourced produce, meat and seafood, plus new features that we know everyone will love.” Furthering the co-op’s dedication to sustainability, West Seattle PCC also is the first grocery store in the world to pursue Living Building Challenge (LBC) Petal Certification—the world’s most rigorous green building standard. The LBC, run by the International Living Future Institute

(ILFI), will come to life through unique store elements such as reclaimed, sustainably sourced and nontoxic building materials; energy efficient systems that lower climate impact; electric vehicle charging stations; and public art and design features with the sole intent of bringing beauty and a celebration of culture into the space. As part of the Beauty Petal Certification for LBC, PCC enlisted Seattle artist Celeste Cooning to create “Cloud Wave” — a stunning canopy art installation that harkens to water as the essential life force. Cut and assembled from reclaimed sail cloth, the fluid piece is suspended above shoppers and staff at the front of the store. The West Seattle location features a new design from local architect Graham Baba in collaboration with architect of record, Seattle-based MG2. The developer is Madison Development Group, LLC and the general contractor is Woodman Construction, Inc. The West Seattle location was PCC’s sixth store when it opened in 1989, joining stores in Green Lake, Kirkland, View Ridge and the now closed Ravenna and Seward Park stores. At the time, sales were just over $10 million. Today, the new West Seattle store brings the co-op’s store count to 12 with total membership at nearly 70,000 and annual revenue of more than $288 million. PCC is the largest grocery co-op in the nation by store count, membership and revenue. Hightlights of the new West Seattle store include: • An expanded produce department, nearly twice the size of the original store’s. • PCC’s largest selection of bulk items, including health and body care products, such as shampoo and laundry detergent. • Full-service meat and seafood, sustainably sourced and cut-to-order.

• A carefully curated selection of 100% Pacific Northwest-produced spirits  to complement the co-op’s collection of exclusive wines and local beers and ciders. • A café featuring handcrafted, certified organic espresso and tea beverages and freshly baked goods. • Made-from-scratch deli offerings that can be taken to go, enjoyed in the dining area or on the new patio, including. • PCC Taqueria with pork adobado, beef barbacoa, tofu rojo, chicken verde, rice and beans, and freshly prepared salsas; • PCC Pizzeria showcasing fresh-baked pizza made in-house. • PCC Grain Bowls which are customizable with a wide range of flavors like roasted sesame gochujang, and lemon harissa dressing. • Self-serve offerings, including an antipasti bar, PCC Yogurt Bar featuring PCC Organic Grass-fed Yogurt, hot bar with scratch-made dishes like Moroccan Lemon Chicken and Glazed Tempeh Fajitas, and cold bar with a variety of organic salad ingredients and more. • A Little Free Cookbook Library to borrow from or donate to, celebrating the joy of cooking in the community. As with all PCC locations, the West Seattle store will celebrate products that are fresh, local, organic, sustainably sourced and seasonal. More than 95 percent of PCC’s produce selection is organic; its meats are 100 percent organic, non-GMO or grass fed; its seafood is sustainably sourced adhering to Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch standards; and, whenever possible, the co-op sources its products from local producers, farmers, ranchers and fishers. Using those same ingredients, PCC chefs make salads, soups, entrées and side dishes fresh from scratch daily in each store’s on-site kitchen.

The last stand

PEGGY STURDIVANT T

he Ballard P-Patch is Ballard’s Eden. It is a hidden gem just one block northwest of N.W. 85th & 24th N.W. With its weekly bounty of produce delivered to the Ballard Food Bank, its free worm compost, its gnome mural by Henry, the Ballard P-Patch is nonetheless stealth. It’s an official City of Seattle emergency preparedness hub and a garden laboriously reconfigured to be ADA accessible. The P-Patch is also endangered. The possibility of its loss to development feels like the last stand for me. The garden just north and below Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church’s parking lot has been growing there for over 40 years. It’s a green space in an area lacking public open space, it’s beloved, and it’s endangered in part because Our Redeemer’s has its own dangers. The church desperately needs seismic and ADA retrofits, as well as additional work to bring it up to code. Pastor Kathy Hawk needs to be able to offer a safe place of worship to some 200 people at a time. The church does not want to sell the land where a garden (that was originally its brainchild) has one of the oldest in the P-Patch program. The church needs enough money to fund the upgrades necessary.

They have even downscaled renovations to bare minimum in order to cut costs yet still meet code and add community benefit. In hopes of what Pastor Hawk pronounces a “win-win” for the church and Ballard P-Patch they have given the P-Patch time to raise the $1.8 million necessary. Our Redeemer’s has not talked to any developers, but know that per zoning the land that provided 2000 pounds of fresh produce to the Ballard Food Bank this year would give a developer the opportunity to build four single-family homes. “Save the Ballard P-Patch” read yard signs with a website for information and donations. A group of gardeners, friends and neighbors have organized mightily since learning the futures of both garden and church were in the balance. Inspired by a gnome mural painted by Henry, the supporters have been attending Parks Department meetings, candidate nights, organizing fundraisers…all the while sporting gnome hats. They have invited candidates and elected officials from City, County and State to visit the garden and see what could be lost. Joyce Moty of GROW Northwest, which is the fiscal sponsor for P-Patches and is therefore allowed to do advocacy for the City of Seattle program says of Ballard’s P-Patch, “It’s a gem. It’s already there. We don’t have to build something new, we’ve just got to save it.” Contributions are tax-deductible, and would be ideal for corporate matching. Specifics are available at saveballardppatch.org. The garden hosts educational tours and has a patio and grill open to the community. For 18 years it has hosted “Art in the Garden” featuring local artists and musicians. It always seems to be the most beautiful day of summer on that August day. Entering from the south this year the first plot was entirely filled with dahlias in bloom, just beyond were tomato plants so laden with fruit as to appear artificial.

The Ballard P-Patch is home to 90 families of gardeners, some of them second generation. “Save the P-Patch” organizers are learning social media, lobbying and how to write press releases. They are doing a community rally at Bergen Place on September 22 at 11 a.m. and will be part of Seattle’s Park(ing) Day on September 26 (at 14th & N.W. 65th for increased visibility). I’ve proposed that Ballard Writers Collective will write to the theme of “growing” for its 10th Annual “Writer Next Door” Event on November 1, with all proceeds from gift basket raffle going to the cause of saving the Ballard P-Patch. Every gardener and nearby neighbor will blame themselves if they don’t feel they have done everything humanly (and perhaps gnomely) possible to raise at least the $1.8 million. That’s why they are carpooling to meetings at the Parks Department after their weekly food bank drop-off. It’s why they are inviting every candidate to visit. Why they lobbied for the King County Levy in hopes of a grant possibility if it passed (it did). Why they are donating goods, all their waking hours,

forgoing sleep even, to raise the money. I blame myself already for not doing enough to help. I want this for Ballard. I want this for Seattle. I want the City of Seattle to stop touting the P-Patch Program while treating them like some other department’s problem, not one of Seattle’s greatest assets. Once upon a time Ballard even built its own hospital by knocking on one door at a time. Ballard P-Patch has been a giving garden to thousands in its 43 years. Our Redeemer’s has been the most generous of “landlords” for 43 years, charging $1/year. Now they need help for their property and that of the garden. How to get to win-win? It’s time for all of us to stand up, knock on every door if need be and Save Ballard P-Patch. For all of the latest events, how to donate and links to social media www.saveballardppatch.org.

Kids need space to ‘grow’

Cindy Krueger

Kate Folchert with the Brownies.

Although there are third generation gardeners at Ballard P-Patch, there is a growing need with increased density for Crown Hill residents. Nicole Stoddard shares the importance of this community for her family, husband and daughters 8 and 10, after they moved from a house with a yard to an apartment with no yard. “I love to garden and grow things, and had been involving the kids in it since they were quite small. It seems they really started to enjoy it, too. When we got our plot at the Ballard P-Patch we were overjoyed (we had to wait quite a while!). A dedicated space to plant whatever we wanted to grow, and making some new friends in our local community who liked to garden was very exciting to us. What struck me right from our very first gardeners meeting was that everyone was very friendly and supportive. And it felt like our kids were welcome, too. I never thought to leave them at home for any part of the process, but they seemed very welcomed, which honestly, isn’t always the case for young children in predominately adult spaces. The kids would come with us to check our plot, to the work parties, to the “Art in the Garden,” and to the yearly meetings. They are always excited to check on our plants, and then to visit everyone else in the garden at the time, to check on their plants and give them some “tips.” They love to show off our plot to whomever is working in or visiting the

garden. They love to help out with projects, and to talk to and help the other gardeners. We had great fun decorating our plot for last year’s “Art in the Garden,” and they got a lot of great compliments for their hard work. Many times I was told by other gardeners how much they loved to see kids in the garden helping, working, or just playing. I think they all enjoyed having young kids around to liven the place up a bit, and make the space feel more like a true community for all. The garden is one of our favorite spots to visit during the growing season, not only to take care of our plants, but because they get to play outside, which is not something they can do easily in our apartment. They also love seeing fellow gardeners and chatting with them, and being in charge of certain gardening tasks. This experience has been important to me, for them, because of the impact it has on them socially. Learning how to work as a team, how to communicate with others well, and how to be a part of something bigger in our local community, with our neighbors. I want them to have the experience of being part of a community that isn’t just our school community (which is wonderful), because our garden community is more diverse and a different dynamic and experience for them. And of course I want them to grow up knowing where their food comes from, and how to grow it themselves.”

Alaska Airlines asks guests to help reduce inflight plastic waste through #FillBeforeYouFly Carrier kicks off initiative to plant trees when guests bring their own pre-filled water bottle on flights

A passenger fills water bottle free at a FillBeforeYouFly station.

airline to replace single-use plastic stir straws and citrus picks with sustainable alternatives as part of its #StrawlessSkies initiative, in partnership with Lonely Whale. Through #FillBeforeYouFly, Alaska Airlines is aligning with the Lonely Whale #HydrateLike campaign, popular on social media channels and inspiring individuals and companies alike to rethink reliance on single-use plastic bottles. From the millions of gallons of fuel saved to the tiny plastic straws that were removed last year, Alaska Airlines has a long track record of flying greener. Since it started auditing its recycling efforts in 2010, Alaska has reduced per-passenger waste going to landfills by 65%, essentially cutting waste in half. In the last nine years, flight attendants captured over 15,000 tons of recyclable materials, about the same weight as 320 Boeing 737-900ERs. Alaska Airlines also recently replaced bottled beer with aluminum cans, which are lighter and easier to recycle. “We know this is a resource intensive business with many stakeholders involved in the journey,” said Birkett Rakow. “While we’ve made progress, there’s a long road ahead of us. We’re working with supply chain partners and employees to come up with solutions to reduce waste, adopt sustainable practices and eliminate single-use plastics inflight. Change takes time; we value the collective impact our customers and employees can make today.” For Alaska Airlines’ 2018 sustainability report, visit flysustainably.com.

Alaska Airlines today announced its #FillBeforeYouFly initiative to partner with guests and employees to continue reducing the use of single-use plastics inflight. The aim: rally with flyers to bring their own water bottle and fill it before they board. This is one of many in Alaska Airlines’ sustainability efforts to reduce inflight waste per passenger going to landfills by 70% by 2020. “We’re passionate about working with our guests, employees, airports, and partners to reduce waste, protect habitats, and improve water health,” said Diana Birkett Rakow, Alaska Airlines’ vice president of external relations. “Land, water, and animals are incredibly special parts of the places we live and fly—and it takes many different company and individual actions together to protect them for the long term. This is just one step. If just 10% of our guests bring their own pre-filled water bottle when they fly and choose reusables, it could save more than 700,000 plastic water bottles and 4 million plastic cups per year. That’s a big lift.” Plastic bottles are among the top five most common items found in beach cleanups around the world, and according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, by 2025, the ocean is expected to contain one metric ton of plastic for every three metric tons of fish. Alaska Airlines is partnering with environmental leaders Lonely Whale, MiiR and Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF), and with Sea-Tac International Airport, a partner in sustainability from new building construction to daily operations. The airline will plant a tree for every passenger who brings a pre-filled water bottle onto their flight and posts a photo to social media tagging @AlaskaAir with the hashtag #FillBeforeYouFly. Alaska guests can help BEF achieve their goal of planting 1 million trees on the West Coast to improve the environment and restore habitats for local fish and wildlife.

Con Guzman, who unfortunately has left us. On September 10 Juan left our house around 2 a.m. with out notice and we did not notice he was gone until the morning when I saw that the door was open. I then went to the police department and did a missing report. Unfortunately they found his body at the Green River in Auburn on Tuesday around noon. I identified my son on Thursday September 12. My son was a very loved young man by his family, his school peers, and every one that knew him. He was a great son, a great friend to others and was on the right pathway to graduate from High School. I would really appreciate your support in this difficult time!” The Highline School District, released this statement on Guzman and his death: “We are deeply saddened by the death of our student, Juan Carlos Con Guzman. Our hearts break for his family and all those who cared about Juan Carlos, including our staff members who taught and supported him. Juan Carlos is described by his principal as well-known and well-liked by staff and students at Mount Rainier High School. The school community is grieving his loss. Our care team is on campus to support students and staff.”

ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADES

King County will soon have yet another line of defense against sex trafficking, thanks to a measure passed by the County Council. The council on Wednesday approved legislation that will lead to a requirement that for-hire drivers, including those with Uber and Lyft, receive sex trafficking awareness training as part of their county licensing process. Sponsored by Councilmembers Jeanne Kohl-Welles, District 4, Reagan Dunn, District 9, and Claudia Balducci, District 6, the motion asks that the King County Executive create a training program that will teach drivers not only to spot potential sex trafficking victims and survivors but also how to report such instances and provide victims with information about support services. “Rideshare and taxi drivers are often on the front lines of the human trafficking trade,” Kohl-Welles said. “By providing them with training about this horrific practice, they will be better able to recognize when someone is being trafficked and know what steps to take in response to connect potential victims to information to get them help and to safety.” The training would impact thousands of drivers. In 2017, 2,453 taxi and for-hire drivers were licensed in King County, along with 27,842 transportation network company (app-based rideshare) drivers who had permits from the county.

“For-hire and taxi drivers are in a unique position to be allies in the fight against human trafficking,” Dunn said. “This training will ensure that more victims and survivors of trafficking are seen and offered help when they need it most.” King County has undertaken a broad approach to raising awareness around human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, an issue deemed by the FBI to be the second-largest and fastest-growing black market in the world. In 2011, the county designated King County Metro buses as a National Safe Space Partner, part of a national program to provide outreach and support services for youth in crisis. A year later, the King County Council led efforts to develop an anti-human trafficking public awareness campaign across Metro buses and properties, which expanded through partnerships both with private organizations and with the city of Seattle. The campaign included signs on Metro buses and billboards along roads in the county. The council has more recently called for further expansion of this awareness campaign. “People who are trafficked against their will are some of the most vulnerable in our community,” Balducci said. “With proper training, drivers can act as our eyes and ears, identifying and reporting trafficking to stop this exploitation.”

AAA: True cost of annual vehicle ownership rises to $9,282

Higher finance costs behind the new-car increase

It’s going to cost more for those looking to buy a new car this year. Finance costs on new car purchases have jumped 24% in 2019, according to new AAA research, pushing the average annual cost of vehicle ownership to $9,282, or $773.50 a month. That’s the highest cost associated with new vehicle ownership since AAA began tracking expenses in 1950 and a reminder that the true costs of owning a vehicle extend far beyond maintenance and fuel. “Finance costs accounted for more than 40% of the total increase in average vehicle ownership costs,” said John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director for Automotive Engineering & Repair. “AAA found finance charges rose more sharply in the last 12 months than any major expense associated with owning a vehicle.” The spike in finance charges—which rose from $744 to $920, a nearly $200 increase— was fueled by rising federal interest rates and higher vehicle prices. It comes as 72-month car loans have become increasingly common—meaning car buyers are paying more, and longer, for vehicles that lose value the moment they’re sold. Long-term loans offer lower monthly car payments, but they ultimately cost the consumer more. AAA found that, on average, every 12 months added to the life of a loan adds nearly $1,000 in total finance charges. “Smaller monthly payments may be tempting to potential buyers, but they can add big costs in the long run,” Nielsen said.

ONE OH! ONE

By Rob Clay

On September 6, 1918 in Tuckahoe, NY, Duncan and Isabelle Becker welcomed their second child, a daughter also named Isabelle, the second oldest of four children. Tuckahoe, NY is about 4 miles NE as the crow flies from Yonkers, NY, on the east bank of the Hudson River. Isabelle’s dad ran a dry-cleaning

Isabelle Becker, in uniform of Navy WAVE during WWII in New York.

The new figures come from Your Driving Costs, which reviews nine categories of vehicles—consisting of 45 models—to determine the average annual operating and ownership costs of each. AAA focuses on top-selling, mid-priced models and compares them across six expense categories: fuel prices; maintenance/repair/tire costs; insurance rates; license/registration/taxes; depreciation; and finance charges. Annual average costs increased in each category. Of all costs, depreciation, a measure of how quickly a car loses value, remains the single biggest cost of ownership, accounting for more than a third (36%) of the average annual cost. It slowed a bit this year, with vehicles included in the study losing an average of $3,334 a year, up $45—or 1.4%—from last year. In 2018, depreciation rose by $117, or 3.7%. In two vehicle classes this year—small and medium sedans—depreciation costs actually declined. Other key findings of this year’s Your Driving Costs include: • Average fuel cost rose to 11.6 cents per mile, 5% higher than last year. The per-mile increase was driven by gasoline prices, which are up 15.6 cents per gallon over the timeframe covered by the study. Electricity prices for EV charging also rose 0.1 cent per kilowatt-hour (0.08%), but the market share of the electric vehicles in the study (0.48%) makes the effect of this increase on the overall average fuel cost negligible. Fuel costs vary widely by vehicle type, ranging from a low of 3.65 cents per mile for electric vehicles, to 15.67 cents per mile for pickup trucks.

business in Tuckahoe while her mom handled the many sewing needs. Working in the ’20s and into the Great Depression of ’29, they eked out a living. It got harder for everyone. At 21, in 1939, Isabelle found admin work in Mahattan at the Empire State Building, being grateful she “did not have to wash the floors.” Three years later she joined other Americans in WWII; she as a Navy WAVE. Through the war Isabelle handled payroll and scheduling. It was there she met Gustav Joseph Becker. They got married a year after the war in 1946. Gustav and Isabelle began their own life adventure moving through the mid west, finally settling in southern Oregon at Klamath Falls, where friends had a ranch. Gustav found work as a plumber and ranch hand. Isabelle did all the cooking for the ranch hands, later taking a job at Ganong’s Variety store and Woolworth’s in Klamath Falls. They raised a daughter, Barbara. A move in 1964 brought the family to Arbor Heights in West Seattle. Isabelle continued her work at Woolworth’s in downtown Seattle, retiring there in 1983. For the next 36 years she lived with her daughter Barbara. She drove a car to age 97. She traveled to Europe and played cards with her friends. Isabelle helped raise two grandkids, Ken and Rich. She was blessed with four grandchildren, Kohl, Kendall, Gabby and Maya. In between, ...being grateful, she washed a few floors.

• Average maintenance and repair costs climbed marginally to 8.94 cents per mile, up 8.9% over last year. The increase was fueled by the growing complexity of vehicle systems and an updated methodology for calculating repair costs. • Electric vehicles had the lowest maintenance and repair costs—6.6 cents per mile—while medium-sized SUVs had the highest at 9.6 cents per mile. • The cost of licenses, registration fees and taxes rose $14 to $753 per year, an increase of 1.9% • Average annual costs by new vehicle category (based on 15,000 miles driven annually): The AAA study gives the public a window into the true costs of owning and operating a vehicle by quantifying expenses that owners may overlook. Additional information and details can be found at AAA.com/ YourDrivingCosts. After purchasing a home, buying a vehicle is probably a consumer’s second biggest expense. Research is key, as is acting carefully and methodically. AAA.com/autobuying is a comprehensive resource that can help make the process more manageable. Here are some tips to keep in mind: • Know what you can afford to spend before going to the dealership. Determine your budget and stick to it. • Minimize total finance costs by getting the shortest loan term you can afford. • Seasonally, the best times to buy tend to be the last two weeks of December – when dealers are trying to hit year-end goals – and, to a lesser extent, between July and October. That’s when dealers are trying to clear lots to make way for the next year’s models. • The best time to buy is the end of the month because sales managers like to build campaigns around monthly quotas. Shop

toward the end of the month and you’ll find a dealer may offer additional price concessions. • Consider a late-model, gently used vehicle. New cars lose around 20% of their value the moment they leave the lot, so you can save big if you look for a car that’s a year or two old. Your insurance costs could be less, too. • If you belong to AAA or a similar organization, you may qualify for dealer discounts. Dealer networks sometimes agree to limit profits when selling to club members, though the deals will be limited to certain makes and models. Methodology AAA’s Your Driving Costs study employs a proprietary AAA methodology to analyze the costs of owning and operating a new vehicle in the United States. The methodology incorporates standardized criteria to estimate the costs of using a new vehicle for personal transportation over five years and 75,000 miles of ownership. Your Driving Costs is designed to help consumers make informed vehicle purchase decisions and budget for annual automotive expenses.

Isabelle Becker, who recently celebrated her 101st birthday in Arbor Heights, is hugged by her daughter Barbara Blanco.
