Gifts & Dining Easter

Enjoy A Sweet Reward - Make Your Own Chocolate Easter Bunnies

The Easter bunny is a tradition that has been passed down for centuries. Symbolizing fertility and wealth, the Easter bunny became a holiday standard in Germany during the 16th century.

The custom of chocolate eggs came along centuries after the Easter bunny, originating in the 19th century in France and Germany. As Easter cele­

brations evolved, chocolate eggs were not the only delicacy; chocolate Easter bunnies also were shared and enjoyed. While there are scores of mass­produced chocolate bunnies available for purchase, and many local chocolatiers also make Easter bunnies and other sweet treats, families may want to try making their own

chocolate Easter bunnies this year. This can be a familyfriendly activity that favors togetherness with the promise of a sweet reward.

1. The first step to creating chocolate Easter bunnies is to select the type of chocolate you prefer. Bunnies can be made from white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a combination for a marbleized effect. Chocolate melts, chips or chocolate couverture are widely available at specialty chocolate and food shops or

craft supply stores, according to DoItYourself.com. This simplifies the bunny-making process. Some retailers also may sell bunny­making kits that pair the chocolate melts with the mold in one box for ultimate convenience.

2. Craft stores also have aisles devoted to culinary crafts. Browse to find an Easter bunny mold. Some may sell solid chocolate bunnies or hollow varieties. Choose molds in the desired size, as bunny molds may be large or small.

3. Follow directions to melt chocolate successfully. Some chocolates can be slowly melted in the microwave. A double­boiler method, in which the chocolate is melted in a bowl placed above a pan with boiling water, can help the chocolate melt consistently and prevent it from burning.

4. Pour the chocolate into the mold and gently tap the

mold so that it displaces air bubbles and helps the chocolate settle evenly into the design. Allow the chocolate to set up in the refrigerator. If your mold is hollow, you can seal the two halves of the bunny with a little melted chocolate on the seam.

Creativity can be unleashed when making homemade chocolate bunnies. Experiment with adding a few drops of peppermint oil or orange liqueur to customize the flavor. Before sealing hollow bunnies, place peanut butter or raspberry jam inside for a tasty surprise. Use colored candy melts to add colorful eyes or cheeks or to tint the inside of the bunny ears. For an even more festive effect, seal a lollipop stick in a chocolate bunny and use it to secure the Easter bunny to the top of a cake.

Explaining The Easter Vigil

Easter is the most significant date on the calendar for Christians across the globe. A celebration of the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Easter serves as the foundation of the Christian faith. So it’s no surprise that a day as significant as Easter is steeped in such incredible tradition.

The Easter vigil is one such tradition. According to CatholicCulture.org, the vigil is a liturgy celebrated on the eve of Easter Sunday, a day known as “Holy Saturday” within the church. CatholicCulture.org notes that the Easter Vigil is divided into four parts, each with their own unique characteristics and traditions.

1. Service of Light

The atmosphere in the church is noticeably different during the Service of Light, when all lights are turned out and the tabernacle is empty. The Service of Light begins outside the church and a new fire is lit and blessed upon entering. A Paschal candle is prepared and the priest lights the candle from the new fire. The candle is processed through the church as each celebrant lights his or her own candle from the Paschal candle, which symbolizes Christ. The Easter proclamation is then sung, explaining the significance of Easter.

2. Liturgy of the Word

During the Liturgy of the Word, readings are chosen from among seven Old Testament and two New Testament passages. All nine need not be read, but three from the Old Testament must be read. CatholicCulture.org notes that the Gloria is sung before the reading of the Epistle of the Romans, while Alleluia is sung before the Gospel.

3. Liturgy of Baptism

During the Liturgy of Baptism, the Easter water is blessed and new members are welcomed into the church through the ceremony of baptism. The faithful in attendance who have already been baptized also renew their baptismal promises during this portion of the Easter vigil.

4. Liturgy of the Eucharist

The Mass resumes during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and special prayers are inserted during the Eucharist prayer. According to CatholicCulture.org, the whole church is called to join at the sacrificial table that Christ prepared for Christians during his death and resurrection.

The celebration of Easter includes many inspiring traditions. The Easter vigil is one such tradition that the faithful participate in each Holy Saturday.

Die Katz

By Gladys S. Martin

En Katz is so en abbaddich Gedier, Sie ist so schee un gscheid. Mer is nie net schur, eegent en Mensch dann en Katz, Odder eegent selli Katz selli Leit?

Wann ebber en Katz fer en gut Freind hot, Un sie wuhne datt eenich menanner, Dann wunnert mer glei, wer der Meeschder datt is. Hot der Mensch odder die Katz’s menscht fer lanne?

Fer erscht saagt der Mensch zu sei Kummraad die Katz, “Nau, die sin die Rules fun des Haus.

Mir kumme gut aa, wann mei Wadde bedrachscht. Nau, harich un ich leg des gut aus.”

“Nau, doh is dei Bett, ich hab’s kaaft yuscht fer dich. Es waar deier, awwer sis weech un schee.”

Die Katz dreht aweck, mit en hochmiedich Guck

Un laaft fatt mit ihr Schwanz in de Heh.

Sie saagt dich so bleen, as sell Bett gaar net dutt; Sie sucht sich en besser Bett glei.

Sie nemmt die bescht Schtul, odder’s mit vun dei Bett, Awwer ihr Bett, des laaft sie verbei.

Dann saagscht du’s negscht, “Katz, der Bodde is dei Blatz!

Bleib ganz ab vum Schpielbank un vum Disch.”

Die Katz guckt dich aa mit ihr Kopp zu ee Seit, Mit en unschuldich Guck uff ihr Gsicht.

Dann saagscht zu dich selwer, “Sie hot sell nau gheert.

Ich denk ich bin als noch Boss doh.

Sie folgt dich gut, weil dei Aag uff sie hoscht, Awwer dutt wie sie will, hinnenooch.

Du weischt sie en Poschde aus Karpet gemacht, Un du saagscht, “Des is dei Blatz fer gratze.”

Awwer sie hett viel liewer dei ganz beschde Schtul: Des is der Aagewehnet vun Katze.

Ya, kaaf sie Katzefuder, naahrhafdich un gut, Un duh’s in ihr baddiche Schissel.

Sie hett not viel liewer Abfall vun dei Disch; Des gekaaft Fuder gleicht sie ken bissel.

Sie hot ihr eegne Gedanke un Weg; Sie draagt sich so stolz as en Keenich. Sie guckt nie net schuldich wann sie nixnutzich waar, Un sie kann ihr Weg geh, ganz aleenich.

Wann mer Zeit hot fer schpiele un mer hebt sie datt uff, Un mer schtreichelt sie, macht sie eem lache, Fer sie tschumpt schnell aweck un guckt dich bees aa: Sie hot nau ken Zeit fer so Sache.

Awwer wann du an Naehe bischt un hoscht net viel Zeit, Dann is selli Katz graad dabei.

Sie tschumpt in dei Schooss un rollt sich datt rum Un dei Naehes is not schnell verbei.

Ya, unne en Watt, dann saagt sie der Mensch, Wann’s Zeit is fer schpiele un esse.

Un maryets wann’s Zeit is fer widder uffschteh, Die Katz losst dich sell net vergesse.

Ya, ich gleich mei Katz; sie is mei gut Freind; Sie is immer zu mich en Blessier. Sie is ruhich un sauwer un freindlich un trei. Wie ich gsaat, “En abbaddich Gedier!” *** The Cat

A cat is such a special animal, She is so pretty and intelligent.

One is never sure, does a person own a cat, Or does that cat own those people.

If someone has a cat for a good friend, And they live together amiably, Then one soon wonders, who is the master there? Does the man or the cat have the most to learn?

At first the person will say to his comrade the cat, “Now these are the rules of the house. We will get along well, if you’ll note my words. Now listen and I’ll explain it well.”

“Now this is your bed, I bought it just for you. It was expensive, but it is soft and pretty.”

The cat turns away with a haughty look And walks away with her tail in the air.

She tells you so plainly that that bed won’t do; She will hunt for a better bed soon. She will take your best chair, or the center of your bed, But her bed she just walks by.

Then next you say, “Cat, the floor is your place. Stay completely off of the sink and the table.”

The cat looks at you with her head to one side With an innocent look on her face.

Then you say to yourself, “She heard that. I guess I am still the boss here.”

She obeys you well ­ while your eyes are on herBut does how she pleases afterwards.

You show her a post made out of carpet, And you say, “This is your place to scratch.” But she would much rather use your very best chair, This is the habit of cats.

Yes, buy her cat food, nourishing and good And put it in her special dish. Then she would much rather have leftovers from your tableShe does not like bought food at all.

She has her own thoughts and ways; She carried herself as proudly as a king. She never looks guilty when she was naughty And she can go her way alone.

If one has time to play and picks her up And one strokes her, she makes one laugh. For she quickly jumps away and looks meanShe has no time now for things like that.

But if one is sewing and does not have much time, Then that cat is right with you. She jumps into your lap and rolls about there And the sewing is quickly over then.

Yes, without a word she tells the person When it is time to play and eat And mornings when it is time to arise.

“Pieces From The Past” - Featuring The New Holland Area Historical Society

Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese

“Pieces From The Past” continues this week, featuring the New Holland Area Historical Society. In this weekly article, Shopping News readers will learn about local items housed in local museums and historical societies.

Early History of the Town Clock

During much of the 19th century, New Holland residents often talked about the need for a town clock, but it was mostly talk and nothing else. In the autumn of 1874, construction of the new public school was progressing nicely when the topic was again brought up. Realizing there was precious little time to revise the plans for the school building, a new urgency ensued to buy a clock for the steeple. New Holland Clarion editor, George H. Ranck, and local businessman, Amos Rutter, solicited residents of the town. After six weeks of calculating, maneuvering, and begging, they gathered nearly $300 in pledges. Confident that the fundraising portion of the project was completed, they soon found out from local clock dealer, Isaac Witwer, that at least $200 more would be needed based on his recent inquiries. A town meeting was scheduled for December 12 to discuss what to do next, but only six people showed up! Apparently, even though their number was small, they knew how

to get things done, and quickly planned a fair to be held in Witwer Hall in January of 1875. Although there was some controversy regarding “chancing” games at the fair, it was a complete success and raised nearly $450.

In February of 1875, the responsibility of buying and putting up the clock was assumed by Isaac Witwer.

He purchased the instrument from G. W. Russel of Philadelphia, who was an

agent for G. M. Stevens & Co. of Boston (a wellknown manufacturer). The original cost new was $600, but was discounted to less than $400 because the clock was used briefly by another owner who soon replaced it with a larger model. The seller had enough confidence in the quality of the workmanship that a warranty was provided as if it were brand new.

Your cat won’t let you forget that.

Yes, I like my cat, she is my good friend; She is always a pleasure to me.

She is quiet and clean and friendly and faithful.

As I said, “A special friend!” ***

On September 4, a fat envelope was postmarked in Lancaster. But never fear, the envelope was mailed much closer home than that. The return address was that of a lady who has been writing beautiful dialect verses for The Shopping News for the past several years. We have been featuring Gladys Martin’s poetry in this ECK for an equal length of time and find that her artistry grows year by year. Have a close look at DIE KATZ and see whether you do not agree.

In DIE KATZ, Gladys has succeeded in drawing an accurate and clear portrait of the cat. As she writes, “Die Katz is so an abbaddich Gedier.” Again, we hope Gladys’ poem will inspire others to go and do likewise.

Gladys, this week our winterized Deitscher Schtrohhut greets you with a renewed salute. Deitscher Schtrohhut greets you with a renewed salute. May your artistry grace this corner for many years to come!

After some delays due to bad weather and slow steeple construction, the clock was up and running the first week of June in 1875. The four zinc faces were painted a deep blue and the numerals and hands were gold in color. In 1908, the clock faces were repainted white with black numerals and hands. Three of the clock faces are on display in the local schools, and the fourth is at the top of the steps at the New Holland Area Historical Society Museum.

The New Holland Area Historical Society Museum is located on the second floor of the Kauffman Building, 207 East Main Street, New Holland. The Museum is open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For more information, call 717­5383079.

Supernatural Motivation

Part 3, Reward

Author: Wenger

Scripture Verse: Colossians

3:23, 24 - “Whatever you do; do it heartily as to the Lord not man. Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance for you serve the Lord Christ.”

The whole basis of our lesson is that in the everyday stuff that life is made up of; we are to do everything with excellence. We are to

There is reward for all work that is done heartily and with the correct motive “as unto the Lord not unto men.” Our works are done because of our salvation, not for our salvation. The Christian is commanded to be zealous for good works. Remember in Matthew 10:42 it states, “If anyone gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” As believers,

Be sure to clothe all good work for others in the message of salvation in Christ. Remember Colossians 3:17 ­ “Whatever you do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks to the Father through Him.” The extemporary life serves not only as worship, but also as a good testimony that glorifies the Lord so we can deliver His message. I don’t see a silent testimony anywhere in the scripture.

Matthew

Reward/consequence is foundational to all behavior ­ it’s just built into life in general. We all know, the behavior that gets rewarded, gets repeated. Often our behavior brings reward/ consequence here and now. There are a lot of rewards for the obedient life; such as peace of mind, strength in trials, clarity of purpose, joy, the abundant life. Even though the fruit of the spirit is a gift of the Spirit, it is highly

Consider the life that runs counter to God’s commands; it’s hard, brings calamity and often is filled with trouble, bad decisions and all of the associated consequences.

At times the obedient believer may have trouble/ trial as well; just look at Job. Nonetheless, a perfect God can and will reward perfectly and show no partiality to anyone; for God is not a respecter of persons. “He that sows sparingly, will reap sparingly he who sows bountifully will reap bountifully.” The judgment

seat of Christ will be totally fair and He will judge our works whether they be wood, hay and stubble, or gold, silver and precious stones; whether they turn to ash or remain and are rewarded. Don’t be weary in well doing, it all matters.

In summary, strive for excellence in all that we do “heartily”…keep the motives pure “unto the Lord and not unto man.” What we do will bring reward here and later. Everything we do can honor Christ and open a door so we can deliver the message of salvation in Christ, and Christ alone. Galatians 6:9 instructs… “let us not be weary in well doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we faint not.”

East Cocalico Lions Donate Toll Road Proceeds

On Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, the East Cocalico Lions Club of District 14­D held their annual Toll Road Collection at the square in Reamstown.

Thanks to the generosity of the community, along with a donation from the club, they collected $5,000. The proceeds from this event were divided and was given to the following organizations: Hospice and Community Care, Reamstown Memorial Park Association, PA Breast Cancer Coalition and Ephrata Area Social Services.

At a recent club meeting, after giving a short presentation to the club about their organizations, representatives from each of these organizations were presented a check in the amount of $1,250.

Shown in the photo, from left to right, are Tiffany Burkhart (Ephrata Area Social Services), Caitlin Copus and Tricia Grove (PA Breast Cancer Coalition), Coco Minardi (Hospice and Community Care), Jim Tressler (Reamstown Memorial Park Association) and Lion Carl Slegel (Toll Road Chairperson).

The East Cocalico Lions

would like to thank the community for their support in this and all their other projects. Donating to worthy organizations such as these is just one of many ways that the East Cocalico Lions “Strengthen the Pride” as they continue to celebrate more than 75 years of “Lighting the Way” in their community. They continue to make a difference like no other service organization in

the world.

If you are interested in finding out more about the East Cocalico Lions or would like to join them with projects such as this one as they “Serve” the community, please call 717­336­5311 or visit us at www.east cocalicolions.org.

Ault

Ephrata High School

Marissa Ault

Senior

Marissa Ault embodies what it means to be an Ephrata Mountaineer.

The senior keeps a tight schedule juggling the multitude of clubs she’s in including Aevidum, Gears, Friends of Rachel, and the National Honors Society (NHS).

Previously, Ault was recognized as student of the month by the Lions Club. Her family was invited to attend a dinner where she was recognized for her accomplishments.

However, Ault’s biggest accomplishment to date has been receiving a letter from the state representative of Pennsylvania congratulating her for all of her hard work.

Ault enjoys volunteering and does so quite often through an organization known as Gigi’s Playhouse. The group specializes in assisting adults and children with Down syndrome with their education, physical activity, and life skills. She learned about the organization through her younger brother who has Down syndrome and attends Gigi’s Playhouse.

In keeping active in the community, Ault and her family attend LCBC. Devoted to her beliefs, Ault also attends the high school ministry on Wednesday nights.

Additionally, she has kept active by playing softball for the past four years.

In her free time, Ault enjoys relaxing by reading or watching some of her favorite shows with her sisters. They can be described as a close-knit bunch, which can be credited to their similar ages.

At school, she derives the most enjoyment from Business Math stating, “I like the business aspect of the class, but it also teaches us some stuff we need to know for the future. Mr. Smith has been such a great teacher and pushes me to be better. He always tells me he sees me doing great things after high school and explains how proud he is of everything I do. He also gives me ideas of what I might want to do as a career.”

On top of that, Ault’s friends make coming to school a positive experience for the senior. Spending their last year together has helped Ault create memories that will last a lifetime.

“I love making people laugh when they are having a bad day. I hate seeing people sad or mad, so I try my best to make their day a little better,” she beamed.

Maci Hurst

6th Grade

Maci Hurst is in 6th grade at Lititz Area Mennonite School. Her personality is friendly, funny, and active. Maci wants to honor God in what she does and how she acts. She likes L.A. because she likes writing and reading stories. “The stuff we learn is right up my alley,” she says.

Maci does track and field in the spring and enjoys playing volleyball with her cousins. Most of all, though, she enjoys playing/throwing football with her dad. Maci likes riding 4-wheelers and playing sports, but she is also a huge bookworm. She plays piano as well.

A big decision Maci has made is when she accepted Christ into her heart when she was 8 years old. Maci’s mom is one of her role models; she loves her so much, helps and encourages her through school, and helps her grow physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Maci also looks up to her church youth leaders, Charissa Nolt and Trisha Good, because they help her to grow in her faith by encouraging her to love others and to never give up. Her favorite verse is Isaiah 54:10 which says, “Though the mountains may be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed, declares the lord who has compassion over you.”

If Maci could change anything in today’s world, it would be to provide food for the starving children in many nations around the globe. She doesn’t like it that she has so much, and they have so little.

Maci has been on the honor roll multiple times and on the distinguished honor roll once or twice. Maci likes her school, LAMS, because she has good friends and the teachers are friendly and kind.

Maintenance Intervals Serve As Important Guideline For Drivers

Vehicles are among the most costly expenses individuals have. According to data from Kelley Blue Book, the average price paid for a new vehicle in the United States in September 2022 was $48,094. Canadian car buyers face an equally expensive reality in their country, where the average MSRP for a new car is more than $45,000.

Since vehicles are such sizable investments, it behooves motorists to do as much as they can to keep their cars and trucks running smoothly. Vehicle owner’s

manuals typically recommend maintenance intervals and should be drivers’ first resource for information regarding how to take care of their cars and trucks. But the following are some standard maintenance intervals drivers can keep in mind.

3,000 miles

The 3,000­mile marker used to be the benchmark for changing oil, but modern vehicles can now go longer between oil changes. However, it’s still a good idea to check other fluid

levels every 3,000 miles. Windshield washer fluid, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid should all be checked every 3,000 miles and topped off if levels are low.

It’s wise for drivers to perform some additional maintenance checkups every 3,000 miles. Check tire pressure, inspect hoses (which should not be leaking or bulging) and clean the interior of the vehicle every 3,000 miles.

5,000 miles

Many vehicle manufacturers now recommend oil changes every 5,000 miles. Tire rotations also can be part of service visits at this

interval, and drivers can ask their mechanic to check their fuel filters and batteries every 5,000 miles as well. Many may already do this as part of their comprehensive maintenance packages, but it’s still good to confirm if they do and request they do

so if it’s not part of the plan.

Drivers also can request that cabin air filters are inspected at this point, though they can generally last a year before they need to be replaced.

Around the 5,000­mile mark, wiper blades also may begin to show signs of wear and tear, including streaking on the windshield or scratching noises when in use. Each of those signs indicates the wipers need to be replaced. However, drivers should take note of these signs regardless of when they appear. Some may not make it 5,000 miles before they begin to wear down. In such instances, they should be replaced immediately regardless of how many miles

it’s been since they were installed.

10,000 miles

Some vehicles may only require oil changes every 10,000 miles. That’s not uncommon in vehicles that use synthetic oil, though drivers are urged to consult their owner’s manuals. Brake pads also may need to be replaced around this time, and one telltale sign of that is a squeaking noise whenever the brakes are applied.

Drivers can ask their mechanics to check the alignment of their vehicles around this interval as well. Though many vehicles won’t develop alignment issues, it’s best to check for such issues every 10,000 miles or whenever a vehicle feels as though it’s pulling in one specific direction. Maintenance intervals are created to serve as a guideline for drivers. Any issues that arise should still be brought to the attention of a mechanic regardless of how many miles have been added to the odometer since the most recent trip to the garage.

Factors That Should Be Considered For First-Time Electric Vehicle Buyers

Electric vehicles are widely touted as the vehicles of the future. Despite the growing availability of such cars in the present day, for many drivers EVs remain a novelty. That means buying an EV for the first time is a wholly new and unique experience.

Tesla EVs might be the most visible electric cars on the road today, but most major auto manufacturers, including Nissan and Chevrolet, produce EVs as well. That means auto buyers have more EV options now than ever before, which can make the process of buying such a car more exciting, but also more difficult. Narrowing down a growing number of options may not come easy to first­time EV buyers, who can keep these tips in mind as they begin this exciting journey.

• Get an idea of the accessibility of charging stations around your home. The number of public charging stations is on the rise, but there’s still a lot of work to be done in this area. In fact, research from

McKinsey & Company indicates that nearly half of consumers in the United States indicate that battery or charging issues are their foremost concerns about buying EVs. The automotive resource Auto Trader notes that most EVs have enough battery range to cover more than the average daily commute in America. But

drivers who hope to use their EVs as their everyday cars that take them to work and help them run errands and get around town should

confirm there are enough public charging stations to make that possible.

• Look into subsidies. The Office of Energy Efficiency

& Renewable Energy notes that all­electric and plug­in hybrid cars purchased new in or after 2010 may eligible for a federal income tax credit that could be as high as $7,500. State and/or local incentives also may apply.

The Canadian Automobile Association reports that the Government of Canada offers point­of­sale incentives of as much as $5,000 for drivers who buy or lease an EV. These subsidies can help bring the cost of EV ownership down by a significant amount and are worth exploring as drivers decide which electric car or truck to buy.

• Consider your parking situation. Homeowners who own single­family homes with a garage that can accommodate at least one vehicle can easily charge their EVs so long as they clear space in the garage

where the car can be parked. Auto Trader notes that some garages may need to be upgraded with a level two charger, and that can be expensive. Drivers who must park their EVs outdoors overnight should know that this, too, may require some additional funds for electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE). Local building codes may govern the installation of such equipment, which is best performed by an electrician. These are some additional costs of EV ownership that first­time buyers must consider and research before they switch to an electric car or truck.

EVs may become the new normal over the next several decades. But before that day arrives, first­time EV buyers must consider a host of factors as they shop around for an electric car or truck.

The Negative Effects Of Infrequent Driving On Vehicle Performance

Driving puts a certain measure of wear and tear on a vehicle. Whether a vehicle is used primarily for commuting or as a vessel to take travelers to parts unknown, wear and tear is inevitable. On the opposite end of the spectrum, individuals may not realize that failing to drive their vehicles regularly also can affect performance. Here’s a closer look at what can happen when vehicles sit idle for lengthy periods of time.

• Battery loses its charge. The battery in a vehicle is still being used even if the car isn’t running. Batteries power various components in a car, such as the vehicle computer, phone chargers and more. If the engine does not turn over and help to recharge the battery, the battery will eventually die. People who drive infrequently may want to consider a trickle charger that’s plugged in during periods of non­use.

• Tire rot can set in. Dry tire rot is deterioration that sets into the rubber. The material dries out and becomes brittle, causing splits and cracks to form. Driving with tire rot can cause tires to deflate.

• Rust and corrosion can occur. There is still plenty of metal in modern vehicles. A vehicle that has been exposed to salt or rain or one that is stored in a moist climate can be susceptible to undercarriage or engine rust. This may cause damage

that’s not easily repaired.

• Damage from sap or droppings. A vehicle parked in one location for a long time could be a target for bird droppings, fallen berries, sap, and other substances that are potentially harmful to the paint job. Leaving the car or truck out in the sun also means UV rays can cause clear coat over the paint to oxidize and begin

to fail, which can produce blotchy or peeling spots.

• Poor brake performance. When vehicles are left to sit, corrosion could build up on the rotors and the brake pads may become less flexible. Moisture also may seep into brake lines, causing issues with pressurization of brake fluid. Each of these factors adds up to brakes that do not work properly — which is a

big safety hazard.

• Formation of tire flat spots. When tires are not used frequently, the weight of the car can continually put pressure on the same parts of the tires, leading to flat spots. Tires also can lose pressure.

• Oil and other fluids may lose efficacy. Various fluids can go stale in a vehicle if it isn’t regularly driven. Gasoline also may develop condensation, which can reduce efficiency and performance. Taking short trips helps avoid this issue. Infrequent driving can cause damage to a car or truck. But many potential issues can be avoided by driving vehicles more often.

Did You Know?

Anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the road is considered a distraction. That includes adjusting the radio station, looking ahead at the route on a navigation system, reaching into the fast­food bag for a French fry, and answering a phone or responding to a text. Distractions can be visual (taking eyes off the road), manual (taking hands off the wheel), and cognitive (taking your mind off driving).

Whether it is good for people or not, multitasking is now commonplace. That

means individuals are juggling two or more different tasks at one time, even while driving. This propensity to try to fit more into a day may seem like it is improving efficiency, but certain studies show that multitasking often means the focus and attention to detail supplied to tasks isn’t as great when doing two things at once as opposed to focusing on one task at a time.

In terms of driving while distracted by something else, the consequences can be great. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says about 3,000 Americans die in crashes involving a distracted driver every year. Younger drivers, or those

between the ages of 15 and 20, are more likely to become distracted drivers than other age groups. The Canadian Automobile Association says drivers who drive distracted are eight times more likely to be in a crash or near­crash event compared with nondistracted drivers. Transport Canada’s National Collision Database indicates distracted driving contributes to an estimated 21 percent of fatal collisions each year and around 27 percent of serious injury collisions.

There is still work to be done to encourage drivers to be more attentive behind the wheel.

Drivers in the market for a new or pre­owned vehicle over the last couple of years likely discovered that the process of buying a car or truck is as difficult as ever.

Prior to and during the COVID­19 pandemic, factory closures, supply chain issues, semiconductor chip shortages, and a bevy of other complications led to fewer vehicles on lots and much higher sticker prices on cars that were on the lot. That has caused people who are on strict budgets to reevaluate priorities and timelines.

According to Ivan Drury, Edmunds’ senior manager of insights, consumers can’t

expect to walk into the dealership thinking they’re going to find incentives or bargains right now. Plus, they may not even be able to see or test drive a vehicle they want. That reality makes now a great time for car shoppers to rethink their buying strategies.

Choose a Different Vehicle Class Tyson Jominy, Vice President of Data and Analytics at J.D. Power, says vehicle inventory in November 2021 reached record lows. Although there has been some improvement in 2022, consumers may still have to make some concessions if they need a

vehicle promptly. SUVs and pick­up trucks have been some of the hardest inventory to find. Considering a sedan or even a compact car may be the only way to get a new car quickly.

Wait it Out

Those with the luxury of time may continue to wait for inventory to increase and prices to decrease. Tech experts, including Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, expect chip shortages to persist into 2024. If a person’s vehicle is in good condition, it may be more economical to hold on to it a little longer and do the maintenance required.

Seek Out

No-Markup Dealerships

It may take some investigation, but there are certain dealerships that are not adding astronomical markups, also called “market adjustments,” to the costs of their vehicles. These dealers

may advertise online, and car buyers can always call ahead to ask about markups.

Take

What You Can Get

Lots filled with a variety of makes, models, colors, and features are no longer the norm. Shoppers will be afforded more flexibility in price if they’re willing to take what’s available.

Check with Different Lenders

The Federal Reserve increased interest rates in the middle of 2022 and it initially planned to increase rates a few more times throughout the year. People, particularly those who do not have the best credit, can do themselves a favor and shop around at different banks for the best loan rates — the loan may be less costly than what’s offered through the dealership. Also, certified pre­owned vehicles tend to come with promotional interest rates that are lower than the average APR, which makes them a viable alternative.

Vehicles are still expensive and in short supply, necessitating changes to how people buy their cars or trucks.

Warning Signs That Brakes Are Faltering

Automotive problems are often best left to professionals. Though seasoned car enthusiasts may be capable of diagnosing and fixing car troubles without the assistance of a trusted mechanic, most drivers are better off letting the pros address issues under the hood.

But drivers can still play a vital role in vehicle maintenance. Learning to recognize warning signs of various problems that can affect cars can prevent breakdowns and potentially costly repairs. And in certain instances, such as when the brake system is not working properly, knowing how to spot problems before they escalate into something larger can make drivers and their passengers safer and potentially prevent accidents.

Television shows and movies have lent credence to the notion that brake problems are marked by the sudden cessation of a vehicle’s ability to stop. Though that can happen, warning signs of fading brake systems tend to be more subtle.

• Noises: Much like a knocking sound typically indicates a problem with a vehicle’s air­fuel ration mixture, certain noises also

suggest there are problems with the brakes. The most noticeable such sign is a high­pitched squeal that occurs when drivers apply the brakes. But grinding sounds and noises like scratching and scraping also warrant a visit to a brake specialist.

• Increase in stopping distance: An increase in the distance a vehicle travels before it stops after the

brakes are applied indicates that there’s an issue with the brakes. This issue may or may not require a brake replacement. In fact, it’s sometimes indicative that brake fluid levels are low, which can be remedied quickly and easily. However, an increase in stopping distance is significant enough that it should be brought to the attention of a brake specialist immediately.

Did You Know?

• Pulling upon stopping: Another warning sign of brake problems is when the vehicle noticeably pulls to one side as it comes to a stop. This indicates that one side of the brakes is malfunctioning while the other is working properly. Like other issues with brakes, this one requires immediate attention from an automotive professional.

Brake systems should be inspected during routine maintenance visits. But issues with brakes can arise even after such inspections, which underscores how important it is that drivers learn to recognize the warning signs of brake problems.

At the beginning of the COVID­19 pandemic, news about the automotive industry focused largely on how consumers were not buying new cars and demand was way down, largely due to people staying home. However, over time, the big news on the automobile front was how semiconductor chip shortages were halting production lines and leading to unprecedented supply shortages — despite record demand. Semiconductor chips are found in laptops and other electronics, including vehicles. These industries have had to cut back on the number of items they

produce as a result. In June 2022, Toyota announced it would be cutting its production quota in July by 50,000 units. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger now expects the semiconductor industry to be impacted by shortages until 2024 due to a lack of manufacturing equipment. Other factors affecting chip production are limited access to purified neon gas, as Ukraine supplies 25 to 35 percent of this gas, as well as a lack of palladium, which is largely supplied by Russia. In addition, air transport costs continue to go up. Semiconductor chips control functions of touchscreens, braking systems, backup cameras, and even airbag deployment systems. Automobiles may even have chips in engines.
