iifr.v.miii away the snow we had.Not to fear, it will be back.In spades.So this week I’m going to give you a little reminder of the things you’ll have to relearn in the coming weeks.With your car in good running order and a little care, your chances of staying be tween the ditches in the coming months are pretty good.A few tips: • First off, if the weather is bad and you don’t have to go anywhere, stay home.There’s no point in risking life and limb for a trip to the corner store.If you aren’t going anywhere, your chances of having an accident are pretty slim.• Slow down.Just because you can drive 90 km/h on a good day doesn’t mean you can do so in the winter, even when the roads seem clear.Give yourself some extra time to clean off your car, and time to get there at a more relaxed pace.The stress of running late can make you take unnecessary risks.• That extra time should also include time to let the car warm up, and the defroster to do its job.Make sure windows and lights are all free of snow and ice.Clean off the roof and hood as well, so snow blowing off your vehicle won’t blind other motorists.• Every couple of weeks check the tire pressure.For every 10 C dip in temperature, tires lose two pounds of pressure.The temperatures will be all over the place in the coming months, and poorly inflated tires can result in poorer traction, increased gas mileage and shorter tire life.• The most deadly aspect of winter driving is known as “black ice.” The road might look slightly wet, but be coated with a deadly thin coating of ice.When the ' temperatures drop to close to the freezing point or beyond, watch out.Remember too that bridges freeze before the rest of the roadways.• Give other drivers more room.Tailgating is a bad idea on a good day, and can be downright deadly on a winter’s drive.Give some extra space, and avoid getting into the middle of a pack of cars.I often see two or three cars trying to pass a slow moving vehicle on a bad day.Do what I do: stay back and wait for them to make their moves before you do.The closer you are to another vehicle, the more likely it PCV AND ASSOCIATES OPEN FOR BUSINESS! “Most businesses start without a business plan.Most businesses fail.This is not a coincidence.” Peter Vachon should know.He spent over a year researching and developing The Business Planners Series.“In the Eastern Townships there are a whole lot of entrepreneurs with business related problems and often the existing agencies can’t give practical daily solutions.Our goal is to offer small group business planning sessions at affordable prices.We show people how to make the best decisions for their business and give them the tools to compete.” In addition to The Business Planner Series, PCV and Associates provide individual coaching.“We are interested in building relationships with our clients over the long haul.” Reserve your time and place: 316 Knowlton Rd., 450-242-2580.ADVERTORIAL is that their problems could become yours on short notice.• Watch for blowing snow.This can reduce your visibility to zero in an instant.It can also cause snow drifts across roads that might otherwise be clear.In short, life can become complicated very quickly.• If you do find yourself going into a skid, there are a couple of things which should be second nature by now: First off, don’t touch the brakes.That will guarantee a trip to the ditch.Second, counter steer.Strangely, a lot of people refer to this as “steering into the skid.” That sounds to me like they expect that if you’re sliding clockwise, you should be steering to turn clockwise.That makes no sense, and I think it confuses the issue.In the most simple terms, keep steering in the direction you want the car to be going.That means the front wheels should continue to be pointing straight up the road, wherein lies your best shot at success.My advice for drivers is that the next time snow makes things slippery, head for an empty parking lot.There, with the help of your handbrake and steering, you can put your car into any number of skids, and get some practice at regaining control.This will also give you a chance to hone your skills and learn the limits of your vehicle, not to mention it being a lot of fun.When an emergency situation arises in the future, you’ll be ready to handle it.So there you have it.It’s all pretty much common sense, but it still surprises me how common sense seems to go out the window the first time it snows.Every time it snows, we reporters get on the phone with the cops, finding out about the latest rash of road accidents.Hopefully I won’t be writing about you in the coming months.Back to school essentials clD Medic Alert ALWAYS OM CALL www.medicBlert.oa For more information 1-866-848-3259 What you really need Produits Pétroliers LAVIGNE Inc.â HUILE À CHAUFFAGE HEATING OIL GAZ -

LANTEK is specialised in the sales and service of Electric Motors and Controls.Mr.Cliff Lantinga, working along with his wife and daughter, has 29 years of experience in this field and can provide technical expertise in a wide range of applications.Their strength is a strong technical background coupled with honest and personalised service.They are looking forward to providing a local source for all your Electric Motor needs!

with her fair city, a for-real contest whose first prize would indeed be a week for two in Winnipeg.The winners, she guaranteed, were in for a delightful surprise.She was true to her word.The contest proceeded, and the winners returned thoroughly entertained and impressed.Back when the world was younger, I spent two weeks visiting a friend from Lennoxville who’d recently moved west.My first reaction was, why Winnipeg?However, by the end of my stay, I’d become a believer.Before noon on Thanksgiving Monday, I delivered the one-way vehicle to an address on north Main Street.The debate was whether to take a little time to enjoy the amenities of the prairie city, or head home ward forthwith.A favourite spot on that first extended visit had been the Winnipeg Canoe Club, with its spacious grounds and adjacent golf course on the banks of the Red River.It’d be kind of bleak in October, though — southern Quebec is definitely a fairer place in early autumn.Confident that a reasonable deal on a quick return trip was possible, I took a city bus to the airport.After a protracted series of key-tappings, a pleasant lady at the Air Canada counter indicated I could indeed get to Montreal that evening, switching planes in Toronto.The price?Slightly more than $1,000 I tried to remain expressionless.I didn’t bother to ask if that included taxes.I wanted to tell her to tell Air Canada they could have the plane back at the end of the trip; I didn’t want it for a week or so.Also, they could sell tickets to other people, too; 1 didn’t need the aircraft all to myself.Possibility of stanby?No such animal.After thanking her, I tried to slide casually down the row of counters.Nobody was home at Canada 3000, but two lonely attendants guarded the West Jet section.Pretty sure they didn’t, I nonetheless asked cheerfully, “You guys fly into Montreal yet?” No, but they hoped to soon.In the meantime, they could get me to Ottawa for an all-inclusive $500.It was an offer I would have seriously considered, except the flight wasn’t until the next afternoon.Similarly, Via Rail, its transcontinental schedule se- verely gutted, had nothing eastbound until Tuesday night.Without revealing they were my last resort, the good folks at Greyhound Canada said they’d be happy to start me homeward that very evening, for a mere $161, all the way to Montreal —in a reserved seat too, for a measly two bucks more.We pre-boarded in the dark, seven of us, feeling kind of snooty, above the crowd, better than the rest, having sprung for the additional twonie.I settled into the life of the coach, comfortable and new-smelling (the bus that is), ready for the 35 hours to Quebec.Two nights and a day, but the price was right.Overall, the experience was quite palatable.Stops were frequent, but never long enough to be annoying.On board, a red overhead light indicated when the washroom was in use, which saved a lot of stumbling around.Also, four small TV screens protruded from the bottom of the enclosed, overhead Airplane style luggage compartments.You could rent headphones to get the full benefits of the two videos that played alternately, but no one did.First up was some silly Robin Williams thing, which I happily managed to sleep through.The second offering was The Red Planet, which, having seen it three times, I can now lip-read through in its entirety.The only full day on the road was a gem.We left Thunder Bay at dawn under a clear sky.the rugged islands and broken shield of superior’s north shore outlined in silhouette before the rising sun.Ahead lay more than 400 miles of spectacular vistas and this time around that long loop.I could look at much more than the road.Travelers who’d brought reading tended to put it away.Most of us looked forward to the next stop.It was fiin to leave footprints in new places, to catch the wind in light-jacket temperatures, to seize a northern moment looking out upon timeless rocky headlands and endless rolling waters.Late in the afternoon, on the descent to Sault Ste.Marie, the landscape became tamer — gentle hills, small streams heading westward, splashes of lingering colour to complement the wide red glow over the great inland sea.All of that, and still heading in the right direction.CORDIALE INVITATION / CORDIAL INVITATION L’Hôpital BMP et les CLSC et CHSLD de la Pommeraie invitent la communauté à la

déclara tions qui suivent, mais elles portent à la réflexion.Dans plusieurs États américains, les patrouilleurs des autoroutes transportent deux gallons de Coke pour enlever le sang du pavé, à la suite d’un accident.On peut placer un steak dans un bol de coke et le voir disparaître en deux jours.Pour nettoyer une toilette: verser une canette de coke dans le bol et laisser agir durant une heure, puis chasser le tout et le bol sera propre.L’acide citrique dans le coke enlève aussi les taches de la porcelaine vitrée.Pour enlever les taches de rouille du pare choc de l’auto (en chrome), frotter en utilisant du papier aluminium trempé dans du Cola.Pour enlever la corrosion des terminus de la batterie de l’auto: verser une canette de Cola sur la corrosion et elle disparaîtra en formant de bulles.Pour dégager un boulon rouillé: Place un linge imbibé de Cola sur le boulon pendant quelques minutes.Pour un jambon bien tendre: verser une canette de Cola dans le plat de cuis- son, envelopper le jambon dans du papier aluminium et cuire au four.Trente minutes avant la fin de la cuisson, enlever le papier aluminium pour permettre au gras fondu de se mélanger au Coke pour faire une sauce brune délicieuse.Pour enlever les taches de graisse des vêtements: verser une canette de Coke dans la lessiveuse avec les vêtements graisseux, ajouter le détergent et faire un cycle régulier.Le Coke aidera à enlever les taches.Le Cola enlève aussi les salissures routières du pare brise de la voiture.L’ingrédient actif du Coke est l’acide phosphorique dont le pH est 2.8.Il peut dissoudre un ongle en quatre jours.Cet ingrédient peut aussi enlever du calcium des os et, semble-t-il est une cause majeure de l’augmentation de l’ostéoporose.Lorsque les camions commerciaux transportent le sirop concentré du Cola, ils doivent afficher les cartes réservées au transport de matériaux dangereux.Les distributeurs de Coke s’en servent depuis vingt ans pour nettoyer le moteurs de leurs camions.Maintenant, la question est: Voulez-vous un verre d’eau ou de Coke?Entre Nous Thérèse Bernard l Canada the way to save, guaranteed.New Canada Savings Bonds • 100 % guaranteed by the Government
