Summer has now officially started with the long weekend we call Memorial Day. Many families enjoyed going to the beach or the mountains, or just having a picnic at home with good

friends. Smoke rose from the burgers and dogs on the grill and the purists made homemade ice cream the hard way, indeed the best way, using a hand operated churn. And the country folk among us may have engaged in a spirited game of horseshoes on the lawn or just gone to their favorite fishing hole with a picnic basket and a cooler. The enjoyment of this weekend is what Memorial Day is all about. Really?

Many brave citizens have been willing to risk, yes even lose, their lives to protect and defend this great nation as well as giving aid to

other countries in times of need. To give your life so others can enjoy freedom is, I believe, the ulti-mate sacrifice. So we have set aside just one day of the year to honor those who have died in service, here and abroad, yet many of us seem to be more interested in having fun than remembering those who gave their lives. I suspect many children, and adults, too will tell you that Memorial Day is for “vacationing and something about some people who died”. Will the next generation even remember that last part?

I hope we wi l l never forget ,

and always honor, the people

who have diedto keep us f ree.

Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 when Gen. John Logan, command-er of the Grand Army of the Republic, organized a group to place flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers buried in Arlington National Cemetery. The South was reluctant to get involved, however, they too united as a na-tion to honor those who died in World War I. And since the late 1950’s, flags have been placed on each of the 260,000 grave stones at Arling-ton and guarded by the 1200 soldiers of the 3rd US Infantry, 24 hours a day, during this special weekend. Many towns and cities still have cer-emonies to honor those who died in service.

I hope we will never forget, and always honor, the people who have died to keep us free. Free to buy and sell, to come and go, to worship, to pursue happiness, and yes, to have that freedom to enjoy and spend time with family and friends on holidays. Perhaps we can honor the dead by honoring those who continue to “serve us” in the military. And let’s teach our children that movie stars, singers and professional athletes are not the hero’s in life. The “Real Hero’s” are those who gave everything they had – and more.

JoePost Script: I was called to the draft during The Vietnam War and, on the appointed day, I and

about 50 others from Newnan were loaded on a bus and delivered to a big military warehouse for our physical exam in Atlanta. Being a skinny fellow, I was turned down for being about 5 pounds under weight. (Perhaps they had already made their quota for the day, I don’t know). Several of those on that bus died in battle. Looking back, I wish I could have been among those who have helped defend and protect America. Although I’m now far too old to serve, I can give honor to those who served, and especially those who died.

Popular items that can be purchased locally Many consumers prefer to buy locally when shopping. There are several advantages to choosing

local products, including the benefit of aiding your local economy by supporting a business with roots in your community. Dealing with an individual or small enterprise instead of a billion-dollar operation is another reason people are drawn to local stores and businesses.

Spring and summer are great times of year to shop locally, as the warmer weather facilitates strolling community shops and business districts. The following items are popular among consum-ers who emphasize buying local when making their purchases.

Produce

If you desire fresher fruits and vegetables, then shopping locally is the way to go. According to Local Harvest, most produce in the United States is picked four to seven days before it reaches the supermarket shelves, and it might have traveled thousands of miles before landing on those shelves. A lot of produce is grown and imported from South and Central Ameri-ca, and such produce can take even longer to arrive on supermarket shelves. As a result, the flavor and fresh-ness of fruits and vegetables shipped from afar might be compromised. The best way to get peak-season pro-duce is to buy items that come from local providers.

Home services

If you’re in the market for a new air conditioning unit or are considering a home renovation, using a local, licensed contractor is often the smart way to go. Rather than dealing with the red tape of a larger outfit that may subcontract its work, local businesses are often more customer-service driven. What’s more, if ever a problem arises, it’s much easier to go into a local business and discuss concerns face-to-face instead of dealing with an unknown person answering phones at a corporate call center.

Crafts

The home-based arts and crafts industry has undergone a rebirth thanks to sites like Pinterest,

Summer months are the per-fect time to squeeze in a family vacation. Too often, however, we return from our travels feeling ex-hausted and weary from an “unfit” vacation. The reasons are many: overeating, trying to log too many miles, sporadic sleep schedules and too little exercise.

Here are a few tips on how to combine fun activities and health-ful eating habits to help you and your family feel great, both on your trip and after your return home.

Pack some healthful snacks for car travel. A small cooler or ice chest works great to keep bev-erages and perishable items cool and tasty. Popcorn, pretzels, fresh or dried fruit, yogurt cups, bagels, vegetable sticks, 100 percent fruit juice, whole-grain crackers and string cheese are all satisfying and healthy snack choices.

If you’re traveling by plane, drink plenty of fluids before, during and after your flight. Minimize any beverages contain-ing caffeine or alcohol, since these can dehydrate you. Bring your own bottle of water on board, if permitted.

Stick with lower fat or light meals, and plan in advance if possible by either eating before getting on the road or stopping somewhere with choices other than just fast food. Try not to skip meals; you’ll be less likely to over-eat later in the day.

--Restaurant eating can become monotonous and costly, and kids might not always appreciate the unfamiliar menu options. Why not make a quick trip to the gro-cery store to pick up low-sugar breakfast cereal, fruit, milk and bagels for an easy nutritious meal you can put together anywhere.

If you’re camping, plan for healthful meals in advance.

Have a Happy and Healthy Vacation

Think of MyPlate and include a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein and dairy with a long shelf-life, along with products that don’t require refrig-eration.

Help your family meet their daily calcium requirements -- about three cups of milk, yogurt

and cheese. For nutritious conve-nience, bring along grated cheese to add to spaghetti, tacos and bur-ritos; dried milk to add to pancake mix; fluid milk for cereal; and yo-gurt for snacks.

Here are some tips for staying active while on the road:

Whether you’re camping or staying at a resort, take advantage of the great outdoors and go on a nature walk or hike with the entire family. See who can spot the larg-est variety of birds along the way. You’ll reap the benefits of fitness and each other’s company.

Take along sports equipment for the entire family. A badmin-ton or croquet set, a volleyball or Frisbee, snorkeling gear (for any nearby water attractions) and ten-nis racquets, all of which add up to fun and exercise.

Ask your children to plan an activity the entire family can do while on vacation: a kickball game, catch, relay games or tag.

Plan time for exercise -- a mid-day bike ride, morning nature walk or afternoon swim at the ho-tel pool will help you stay on the

fitness track.

If you’re booking your vaca-tion at a hotel, be sure and ask about available fitness facilities. Many have a pool for swimming laps, aerobics classes, weight-training equipment and jogging/walking maps of surrounding ar-eas.

Pack exercise clothing, walk-ing or jogging shoes, comfy clothes and a bathing suit.

If you’re doing a lot of driving, bring your bikes and stop for a ride through the countryside. Don’t forget to pack your bike hel-mets and sports water bottles.

You won’t return home feel-ing the need to take a vacation if you plan ahead for a happy and healthy trip!

Food

Dining out is a different experience when you select independent restaurants over national chains. Chefs at independently owned restaurants have a greater say over ingredients and menu choices than those at franchise establishments, and you may be introduced to foods you had never before dreamed of trying. Restaurants that team up with local food suppliers offer a double-dose of regional commerce and fresher ingredients.

I have two alarm clocks that I contemplate selling every morning around 7:30. � e

biggest one usually goes o� � rst. I hear it pa� ering down the hall while I’m still dreaming. It climbs up the end of my bed stealthy as a cat and pretends to be my friend. It pulls the pillow out from under my head and cuddles up so close to me that I have to inch over until I am teetering on the edge of the bed, coverless and uncomfortable.

� is is a crucial moment. If I manage to convince the alarm clock that it is still early, I just might be able to hit snooze. I lay motionless, waiting, hoping. Slowly I open one eye and disappointment sets in as I stare at my wide-eyed, smiling alarm clock. “Hi Mommy,” it says. I let out a defeated moan, knowing that the jig is up, the alarm has rung. � is is when I discover that my alarm clock is not working properly. See I have waved the � ag; I’m awake so it should be over, but my alarm clock does not stop ringing. It takes my defeat as permission to jump on the bed, sing, yell, slap, kick, whatever it takes to really get in some overtime. A couple of minutes into the routine I hear my smaller alarm clock start ringing from the other room and I really have to resist pushing my jumping clock right o� the side of the bed.

I remember when I decided to order my second alarm clock. I had pre� y good luck with the � rst one up to that point, so I went ahead and ordered from the same manufacturer. I had no idea that the second one was pre-programmed to go o� every two hours for about eight months. I was really sleepy during that period. � e manufacturer must be a sound sleeper because he conveniently never heard the alarm clock in the middle of the night no ma� er how loud it blared.

Now my li� lest clock is 17 months old and still goes o� intermi� ently each night. My big clock is four years old and while it does remain silent throughout the night, it shakes the house when it rings in the morning. I think the warranty has expired on both of them. Don’t misunderstand me though; I do love my two clocks. I love the way they sing so� ly to me while I’m cleaning them. I love staring down at their glowing faces when I check in on them at night. And mostly I love how much they need me and how much I need them in return.

Alright, sorry, but the sale is o� , I’m keeping both of my alarm clocks a� er all. Check back with me tomorrow around 7:30 a.m. – that’s when I’m most susceptible to renegotiations.

Gary Sikes

Publisher’s note: Gary Sikes has been a leading sports authority in Coweta County for as long as I can remember. He previously published a sports magazine and has wri� en many interesting ar-ticles and hosted a sports show on TV. Gary is in the process of launching a new sports web site covering local, collage and profes-sional sports which can be found at www.mvpsportsandmore.com. We welcome Gary as a contribu-tor to � e Coweta Shopper.

Our plans are to bring news of the local teams plus some of the college and pro sports as well. We will not be do-ing play by play coverage, but will bring the hi-lites of the games and the players who made them. In addition to covering the games, we will try to pro� le a coach and/or a player each week to keep you, the public , abreast of what is happening right here in our own community. We will have coverage from the Northgate Vikings, the Newnan Cougars and the East Coweta Indians. In fact this past Fri-day evening all three schools held their end of Spring football practice and I had a chance to talk with them about how they felt about this year’s team and what the community can expect. I am going to do one of the schools each week. Starting this week with the Indians of EC. I had a chance to talk for a good while with Clint Wade who is starting his 6th year as the head man for East Coweta. As everybody who follows high school football knows, the Indi-ans had their � rst losing season in some

20 plus years last year with a regular sea-son of 4 wins vs 6 losses. However, they did manage to make the state play-o� s. Believe me, Wade is as upset over this fact as anybody and more so than most. “I have been coaching over 25 years and this was the � rst losing season I have ever gone through and it was miserable.” Wade has made some adjustments to his coaching sta� in hopes that they will get be� er. (I will have interviews and bios on them in the upcoming weeks). Coach Wade did however have some positive things to say about the scrimmage this past Friday night. “We have a ways to go, but we do have some good talent and it seems to be at the spots we need them most.” � e 2 new coaches have made a real positive impact on the players and the rest of the sta� as well as they bring a lot of energy and posi-tive a� itudes to the � eld every day for practice. “I am glad to have them both on board” Wade says and he is excited about the Summer plans they have for the team and the upcoming season as well. Stay tuned to the Coweta Shopper for updates and hi-lites plus any buying or selling needs you might have. Until next week when I will be covering another coaches’ thoughts about the scrimmage and this Fall. God Bless.

It’s Planting SeasonWhat Kind Of Seeds Are You Planting In A Buyers Mind?

When buyers go to view property they may consider buying, there are seeds planted in their minds and they may not even be aware this is happening. Most sellers are not aware this thought process is like planting seeds, but it is taking place every time a buyers visits a property they may consider purchasing.

So, as a seller, what kind of seeds are you planting in a buyers mind?

Negative Seed – Dirty Dingy Disaster: If there is dust all over, the air vents are dirty, spider webs on light fixtures and dirty smelly carpet, can

suggest that the property is not in good shape. Positive Seed – Well Maintained: Be sure that you have

a well maintained home. If a buyer walks into a house that is clean, smells pleasant and is organized, there is a per-ceived value that the property is in good shape.

Negative Seed – Too Small: Rooms that contain every piece of furniture that came in the complete “set” when purchased, can be perceived as too small for a buyer. Re-moving large and unnecessary furniture can make a room feel larger.

Positive Seed – Spacious Rooms: Even a small area can be perceived spacious if there is more floor space showing.

Negative Seed – Messy linen closets, crowded coat closets, cabinets overflowing when opened will make a

buyer think that there isn’t enough storage space in this property and they may move on to the next house on their list.

Positive Seed – Orga-nized Closets & Cabinets: When a buyer opens up a closet or cabinet and sees extra unused space, the per-ceived value will be “there is so much space in here that I won’t be able to fill it up!” It’s in a sellers’ best interest to clean out these spaces, throw away, donate or pre-pack unused items and store them.

Think about selling your home as if you are planting a garden. The goal is to have a great harvest at the end of the process. Be careful of the seeds you plant!

Art Exhibit Reception The Newnan Cowe-ta Art Association’s Eighth Juried Art Show on display June 4-23. An evening of fine art, music, and hors d’oeuores. Opening reception June 11, 2013, 6 - 8 pm at the Center for Performing and Visual Arts, 1523 Lower Fayetteville Road, Newnan, Ga.



Alison Wallace, a fiery, God-fearing Englishwoman with a heart for the lost and hungry, founded Bridging the Gap (BTG) on September 17, 2009, and has not looked back since. On the outside, it would appear that BTG is just another food bank, one more place to get a few meals once in a while. However, unlike many other similar or-ganizations, BTG was created to “not just give people food, but find out why they needed food and give them a solution, not just a Band-Aid. We offer a hot shower and new clothing; we also give items to people for job interviews. We help fill out forms for eyeglasses and Medicaid and also help supply food to other organizations so they may better serve,” says Wallace.

BTG also holds an annual Christmas in Coweta pro-gram that supplies gifts for applicants and a summer lunch program in which volunteers prepare and hand out thou-sands of sack lunches to children across the community.

Bridging the Gap’s name comes from the ‘gap’ that must be ‘bridged’ in getting “people from point A to point B without conditions. Many people are facing struggles and should not be judged. People need a hand up, not a handout,” says Wallace. Each week, BTG serves about 400 people and gets about 15-20 volunteers. Wallace says that BTG will “be getting a lot more people because we’re donating food to Meals on Wheels and other organizations that reach the senior population.” Although the ministry has “an abun-dant supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, we’re always in need of peanut butter and jelly and spaghetti sauce, noodles, and rice,” she adds.

Bridging the Gap offers an open food distribution and soup kitchen every Saturday at 23 Andrew Street in Downtown Newnan from 10:30AM to 12:00PM. How-ever, the ministry is in the process of moving to another facility- a three-story brick building located at 19 First Avenue, Downtown Newnan. “We’ll be moving from 8000 square feet to 25000 square feet,” says Wallace, who is very excited about the change of locations. “The first two weeks of June will be a transitional period, but we’ll still be distrib-uting food on Saturdays. We will fully reopen in the first week of July.”

BTG’s office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:30AM to 2:00PM. It can also be found online at btgcommunity.org. “Financial contributions are always welcome and can be sent to P.O. Box 223; Newnan, GA 30263,” says Wallace. “We cannot continue doing what we do without the help of our community. Thank you for be-ing the hands and feet.”

Helping Your Car Keep Cool In Warmer Weather(NAPSI)—Whether it’s a vacation road trip or your daily commute to work, when the temperatures climb higher on the outside, things are also heating up under the hood of your car.Fortunately, there are several preventative steps you can take to keep your engine running cool. Here are some tips that can help to keep you on the road to safety and convenience.

Check Your Battery. • If you have an older vehicle or you’ve had your battery for more than three years, you should have it tested. While it is common to hear of car battery failure during the cold winter months, heat is just as hard on your battery. Warmer tem-peratures can evaporate battery fluid, causing damage to internal plates and speeding up corrosion.Top Off Or Change Fluids. • Engine fluids are a key component in keeping your car run-ning during the summer months. When fluid levels are low, the cooling effect is de-creased and could result in overheating. Check your vehicle fluids including motor oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid and brake fluid. Refer to your owner’s manual for recommended fluid type.Check Engine Belts And Hoses For Cracks And Wear. • Look for leaks and feel to deter-mine if the hoses are firm and pliable. Pay special attention to places where hoses are connected and clamped. Do not attempt to touch any hoses or belts after you have been driving your vehicle, as they will be hot and could cause burns and serious injury.Cool Your Engine. • Your engine works extra hard during the summer and relies on the cooling system to protect it from overheating. To keep your cooling system in good work-ing condition, you should flush your system and replace the coolant as recommended by the manufacturer. Engine coolant can become contaminated and its protective additives can lose their effectiveness.

You can also try using a radiator coolant additive, such as Purple Ice by premium synthetic lu-bricant manufacturer Royal Purple. Purple Ice is designed to improve your engine’s performance, help prevent overheating and keep the system clean. Plus, it’s compatible to use with antifreeze or straight water. For more information, visit www.royalpurple.com.


Psychological Benefits of Giving

Charities often benefit significantly from the generosity of donors and volunteers. But the person providing the philanthropy also takes away something from the experience, and there actually may be mea-surable emotional advantages to being charitable.

Helping others not only makes a person feel good, but it may also increase physical and emotional well-being. Several studies have indi-cated that being generous has profound effects on how a person thinks and feels. One such study from researchers at Cornell University un-covered that volunteering increases one’s energy, sense of mastery over life and self-esteem. It also promotes feelings of positivity, which may strengthen and enhance the immune system.

In 2008, Dr. Ellen Langer, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, advocated for giving gifts and being generous -- even in tough financial times.

“When you give a gift it makes you feel generous, it makes you feel in control, it’s good for your self-esteem, and it’s good for the relationship,”

says Langer.

According to psychologist Robert Ornstein and physician David Sobel, authors of “Healthy Pleasures,” they talk about a “helper’s high.” This is a sense of euphoria that volunteers experience when help-ing others. It can be described as a sense of vitality and a warm glow. It has been compared to a runner’s high and may be attributed to a release of endorphins.

Various studies have found that donors and volunteers gain the most from a charitable encounter.

Here are a few more health benefits that may result from being al-truistic:

J an activation of emotions that are key to good health,J lower stress levels,J longer periods of calm after the generous act,J improved mood, andJ a potentially longer life span.

There are many ways to give back and experience these physical and psychological benefits, including:

J sharing experiences at a school,J volunteering at a hospital,J volunteering at a national or local park,J donating unused items, like clothes or cars,J reading to children at a library,J helping to care for animals at shelters,J volunteering at a hospice and comforting those at the end of their lives,J donating supplies to a new teacher andJ becoming a companion to a senior citizen.

The Powerful Role Fashion Plays In Self-Expression

Before you head out to shop this season’s trends, perhaps it’s worth considering how fashion makes you feel and what differ-ent fashion pieces can say about you. Sometimes, fashion speaks louder than words.

A new study reveals that fashion plays an important role in allowing women to express their personality (77 percent), indi-viduality (74 percent) and mood (67 percent), while 77 percent of women said they want more options to express themselves.

“Fashion can speak volumes, which is why I spend time getting to know my clients, so that I can select pieces that truly reflect their indi-viduality and give them that added confidence on the red carpet,” said Fashion Stylist Leslie Fremar, whose client list includes Charl-ize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore. Various retailers “serve as a playground of possibilities filled with great-quality, designer items at incredible prices, so that they have more opportunities to express their various personal style per-sonas.”

Interestingly, 87 percent of women said they are not con-trolled by fashion but that they control fashion, nor are they con-fined by trends or style profiles. In fact, more than half of women (55 percent) are interpreting trends to make them their own.

“Findings clearly show that women are feeling empowered by fash-ion, not confined by it. They see it as a creative outlet that allows them to express who they are, not what’s on the runway or a mannequin,” said Dr. Hazel Clark, Research Chair of Fashion at Parsons the New School for Design. “They aren’t looking for some cookie-cutter approach to shopping or to copy a head-to-toe look. They want to feel in control of their fashion choices and find top-quality pieces at great prices, giving them more options to self-express.”

Depending on where they’re going, whom they’re seeing and what they want to portray to others, they turn to different fash-ion staples. For example, when women want to express self-con-fidence, they wear high heels (23 percent) or jeans (23 percent). They show their sexy side with a pair of trendy heels (24 percent) or a well-fitted dress (20 percent). To feel in control, they throw on a power blazer (23 percent) or a pair of jeans (23 percent).

Ultimately, personal style is just that—it’s personal, with 88 percent of women agreeing that they dress for themselves, not for others, and only a quarter of women saying they dress to “fit in.”

Modern women have a lot on their plates. Women with families often must balance the consider-able responsibilities of life at home with the demands of a full-time career. Women’s health is too often sacrificed at the expense of their dueling responsibilities to work and family, and that can lead to numerous problems down the road.

Women who want to get healthier need not fear that their new devotion to a healthier lifestyle will take some of their focus away from their families or their careers. In fact, women who feel better physically often find it easier to juggle family and career than those who don’t make time for exer-cise. The following are a few tips to help women become more active so they can better handle the increasingly difficult balance of work and family life.* Don’t go it alone. The buddy system can be employed in many avenues of life, but it is perhaps most effective with regard to adopting an exercise regimen. Exercising with friends or even your spouse can motivate you to commit to exercise, as you won’t want to let your exercise partner down. Your buddy also can help motivate you on those days when you really don’t feel like exercising.* Embrace daily activity. When you’re becoming active again after a long hiatus from physical activ-ity, you don’t want to dive in too heavily and risk injury, but you do want to commit to being active on a daily basis. Being active every day does not necessarily mean you have to spend 60 minutes on the treadmill every morning, but stay active even when you aren’t necessarily exercising. Go for a walk after dinner or take the stairs up to your office instead of the elevator. Take periodic breaks from your desk, walking to get a glass of water or walking just to stretch your legs. Even if it’s minor, such activity can help you avoid falling back into bad habits on those days when you aren’t embracing more strenuous physical activity.* Find exercise you will enjoy. Far too many people have attempted to become more active only to ultimately abandon such efforts because their exercise regimens bored them. Women who have never before embraced lifting weights or enjoyed jogging on the treadmill likely won’t find those activities agreeable now, either. Finding physical activity you enjoy is a recipe for success, whereas you’re far less likely to embrace a fitness regimen if you find it boring or repetitive.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend adults get at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, every week and some muscle-strengthening activities that focus on all the major muscle groups on two or more days per week. Those guidelines are not very restrictive, allowing women to tailor their workouts around activities

they enjoy. For example, if you don’t like lifting weights, you don’t have to spend much time focused on muscle-strengthening exercises. Devote some time to such exercises, but leave the bulk of your time for activities you truly enjoy.* Stay on top of your progress. If you are used to balancing work and family, then chances are you are adept at monitoring various things all at once. Your physical fitness is no different. While many women equate daily weigh-ins with their fitness progress, avoid using your scale as the way to moni-tor your progress, as scales can be misleading. Instead, keep a diary of your workouts and your diet, and write in how you felt each day. This diary can help you find out what works for you and what might not be working. Give yourself time each week to monitor this progress and make adjustments as needed.

Embracing a physically active lifestyle after a long hiatus from exercise can be challenging, es-pecially for women juggling the responsibilities of a family and career. But women who try a more physically active lifestyle often find this has a positive impact on their family and professional life.

Working out with a spouse, friend or coworker can help motivate women attempting to adopt a more active lifestyle.

Getting Back In The Swing of Things. Fitness Tips For Women

Did You Know?High levels of exercise can help to prevent stiffening of the arteries in middle-aged men and women. Researchers at Indiana University studied 21 men and 28 wom-en, 33 of whom were highly active swimmers who exercised vigor-ously for more than 200 min-utes per week. The remain-ing 16 participants exercised moderately or not at all.

The study found highly active middle-aged men and women had significantly less arterial stiffness than those who were inactive or exercised moderately. Among men and women in the inactive group, men had less arterial stiffness than women, suggesting exercise may be more beneficial for women than men with regard to reducing the risk of developing arterial stiffness that can lead to car-diovascular disease.

Researchers noted that this may be because inactive women tend to be more sedentary than inactive men.

Other than checking the level of acid/water inside the bat-tery, the only other part of owner maintenance is mak-ing sure that the battery is clean and fi rmly attached to the car.

The battery terminals and cable clamps must be clean and corrosion free, otherwise a good electrical connec-tion will be compromised. Every battery will have a positive and a negative post either on the top of the bat-tery or on one side. To these ½” diameter lead posts will be attached a cable clamp that leads to a heavy elec-trical cable, one black and the other red, which in turn leads to things like the fuse box, starter, and other gad-gets. If there is a white soap powder-like pile of granules around the posts, you need to clean that off. Those gran-ules are acid crystals, so use water and a disposable rag or wire brush. You might want to try to remove them with-out getting them all over the paint and engine compart-ment. You can also wash the cables and battery areas with baking soda to neutral-ize the corroding effect of the acid. This isn’t a particularly dangerous or harmful task, but may be intimidating to some, so if you see that white

powder on your battery, and don’t want to take care of it yourself, take your car to your mechanic and tell him about it. But if you do decide to do this easy task yourself, the acid is not strong enough to hurt you. Just don’t get it in your eyes. Wash your hands afterwards.

Another thing that an owner needs to check regarding bat-tery condition is the method used to clamp the battery solidly to the car. This will vary greatly depending on the size and the weight of the battery, the location, and the engineers who designed the car. All you as a responsible owner should do is to place both hands on a safe and clean place on the battery

and give it a strong shake. If the car rocks, then the bat-tery is fi rmly attached to the car. If the battery rocks and the car does not, then the battery clamping system has probably rusted away or oth-erwise broken. This is usually best left to a qualifi ed me-chanic to repair. Trust me; you do not want a loose 30 pound battery sliding around in your trunk or engine com-partment for very long. Get it fi xed quickly.

Renting an automobile can be practical for a variety of rea-sons. City dwellers with easy access to public transportation might not own a vehicle and might choose instead to rent a car when the need arises. Men and women who are leasing a vehicle might rent a car for a long trip to avoid exceeding the mileage restrictions that come with their leases. Even drivers who own their vehicles might rent a car in an effort to preserve their own vehicles for resale.

Regardless of an individual’s reason for renting a car, there are certain things all renters should know before taking the keys to their next rental.

Your credit card company might be insuring you.• Drivers who have rented a car in the past are aware that rental company employees attempt to sell renters insurance for the vehicle before handing over the keys. While it’s definitely smart to be insured, you may already be insured if you’re paying for the rental with a credit card. (Note: Many rental agencies require a major credit card for customers to book a reser-vation.) Credit card companies provide this coverage at no extra cost to you, which can save you a substantial amount of money, as many rental agencies charge by the day for insur-ance. Consult your credit card company before renting the vehicle to see what, if any, coverage they offer. Some cards may not offer complete coverage, but even partial coverage will still save you money.Multiple drivers will cost you money.• If you’re about to em-bark on a road trip and you plan to have more than one driver, you can plan to pay more as well. Each extra driver you add to the rental agreement will cost an additional fee. If you can make the trip with just one driver, then you will save money. Do not list one driver but allow others to drive the rental, as this might negate any insurance coverage you purchased from the rental agency or any coverage provided to you by an existing auto insurance policy or credit card company.Return the car with gas in the tank.• The rental agent will tell you how much fuel needs to be in the car when it’s returned. The car might need a full tank upon being returned, but more likely that figure will be about one-quarter of a tank. Remember that figure (which should be listed on your rental agreement) and do not come in below it. You will pay a lot more per gallon if the rental agency has to put gas in the tank than if you just remember to do it yourself.Avoid renting at the airport whenever possible. • Though there might be some exceptions, renting from an agency located at the airport is almost always more expensive than renting from an off-airport location. That’s because the rental agen-cies are required to charge customers an airport fee, which can be considerable. If you’re staying at a hotel in town, con-sider renting from an agency close to your hotel as opposed to one at the airport. The savings might be considerable, and some locations might even come and pick you up at the air-port if you so desire.Don’t sleep through the vehicle inspection.• Before you take the vehicle off the lot, a customer service representative from the rental agency and you will examine the vehicle for

any damage, whether that damage is significant or minor. If you don’t pay attention during this examination and the company representative misses any damage, you could very well be blamed for that damage when you return the vehicle. Company employees may be disinterested in the inspection, so it’s up to you to notice and report any damage before you take the keys.

Renting a vehicle can be a convenient solution for travelers who need a car. But drivers should exercise their due diligence to ensure they’re getting the best deal possible.
