for the one person they all have in common – Sa-
mantha, their creator. Samantha has stopped writ-

There is a new sculpture in the front garden at MacNaughton. It was
put together by Mrs. Steenland, the art teacher. Last year the students at

country, and everyone is nice to me.”
Oliver said he misses food from his country, such
as beans, rice, and potatoes, but commented that
he likes fast food and pizza. He will have to get
used to our cold climate but looks forward to
seeing snow for the first time.
At age 15, Oliver has experienced many different
cultures. He’s spent two weeks at a school in Italy and three weeks in
England. Oliver looks forward to his stay in America and said he wants
to improve his English.
Thu Vu (Vu Ha Thu) is visiting us from Vietnam.
She is staying with Ken and Rose Kruger. Thu said
she misses Trang Tien, a famous ice cream store
in Vietnam. However, she’s enjoyed the desserts
here in America, especially the pies and cookies
her host mother has made. She’s used to rice and
will have to get used to American’s potatoes and
bread.
Thu said she’s already cold when asked about
our climate in October. In Thu’s school she has
to wear uniforms and they don’t have dances. She
said most students are too busy with classes to
play sports. In Vietnam there are two semesters per year and students
take 12 subjects every semester. Every day they have five subjects and
their schedule is different each day of the week. However, Mondays
repeat Mondays and Tuesdays repeat Tuesday, etc.
Ponnatcha Pakulpongsa is called Melody by her
friends. She is here from Thailand and is residing
with Ken and Rose Kruger. Melody said the
climate is Thailand is very hot and rainy. She said
she hasn’t seen snow and will have to adjust to our
cold climate.
“I hope to learn about culture and customs of
American people. I would like to go to New York
City and see fashion there,” said Melody who’s
used to wearing school uniforms. She said her
school day is eight periods long and students
there, like those in the states, change classrooms
for each subject.
Melody said she is used to spicy food, but likes our pizza. She looks
forward to her stay.
Silvia Carestiato is here from Italy and has
confirmed that Italian pizza is best. However, she
likes American marshmallows, chocolate, and hot
dogs.
Silvia is staying with the White family and
commented how much friendlier American people
are than the Italians. She said school here is easier
and said she does more studying in her country.
She would like to try out for cheerleading. Silvia
said she really likes her friends and the teachers
at Tri County. She hopes to learn more about our
culture and perfect her English.

Keep Your Toys Safe BIG BEN’S

All Year Long
(NAPSI) — When you click the lock
button on your car’s keyless remote, that
beep gives you peace of mind that your
car is safe. But when it comes to your mo-
torcycle, RV or boat, locking up isn’t as
simple. These tips can help you feel con-
fident that your toys are always protected,
both in and out of season:
Security
• Remove temptation. In the off-season,
make sure your toy is properly garaged or
stored in an enclosed trailer or building.
Out of sight means out of mind.
• Lock up. When camping, RVers should
make sure to lock all doors and windows
and turn on a radio and small light when
leaving for the night. Also, consider in-
vesting in a coupler lock, which can
prevent someone from hooking up your
trailer to a vehicle and driving off with it
in tow.
For motorcycles, a wheel lock prevents the
tires from rotating and covers the lug nuts,

Five Tire Safety Tips VANDYKE’S ENGINE

For Avoiding Blowouts
(NAPSI) — To keep your car on the
road to safety and savings, you need
to stay on top of vehicle maintenance.
Overlooking something as simple as
your tire’s air pressure can cause prob-
lems.
Underinflated tires are the leading
cause of tire blowouts, according to
the Rubber Manufacturers Association.
Each year, there are over 650 fatalities
due to car accidents with underinflated
tires.
That’s why at least once a month and
before every long trip, you should look
at all your tires, including the spare,
and check the inflation pressure.
Here are five tips to keep your tires in
shape for road trips:
1. Don’t Wait to Inflate – Low tire
pressure decreases fuel economy. The
specific inflation pressure number can
be found on the vehicle placard located

2. Lighten Your Load – Overload- Since 1957

Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm has proclaimed October as

“Michigan Car-Deer Crash Safety Awareness Month.”
In Michigan in 2009 there were 61,486 reported car-deer crashes with 10 motorists killed and 1,648
injured. About 80 percent of all car-deer crashes take place on two-lane roads between dusk and dawn.
(Of the reported car-deer accidents Kent County is number one and Montcalm County is number five in
the state’s highest accident rate).
What can you do?
• Stay aware, awake, alert, and sober.
• Remember, safety belts are your best defense in any collision.
• Be alert for deer in spring and fall, especially at dawn and dusk.
• Heed deer crossing and speed limit signs, particularly on two-lane roads.
If a crash is unavoidable:
• Don’t swerve!
• Brake firmly
• Hold on to the steering wheel.
• Stay in your lane.
• Bring you vehicle to a controlled stop.
We at Hill’s Body Shop have noticed an increase in deer hits in the month of October through December
and a big surge directly after the time change, because more people are still on the road at sunset.
If you have had the misfortune of hitting a deer, Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. is here to help restore your ve-
hicle to its pre-accident condition. Your insurance company may refer you to one of their “preferred”
repair facilities. These body shops have an agreement with your insurance company to keep down the
cost of your vehicle repair in exchange for referrals. We believe it’s not in your best interest to take
your vehicle to these contracted repair shops. We believe safety and quality should come before cost,
whereas these “preferred” shops seem to put cost before quality and safety. We believe it to be unethical
to cheapen your vehicle repair to save your insurance company money. You’re our customer, not your
insurance company’s. Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. has always and will always provide the finest repairs avail-
able regardless of DRP contracts.
For more information about what you can do to avoid a car-deer accident and what to do if you do have
a car-deer accident, please visit our website http://www.hillsbodyshop.com/
