Hartford Union High School (HUHS)recently announced the decisions seniorswho have committed to playing theirsport in college this fall. Jason Patterson,Tim Seramur, Jacob Pepin, committed toplay football at UW Oshkosh. JoshBuddenhagen committed to play footballat Augustana College in Illinois. MichaelFulop committed to play soccer at PrairieState College in Illinois.

The school released statements fromthe seniors on their college choices:

“I have been playing football ever

since I can remember, but I began tacklefootball in 6th grade and have been play-ing it ever since. I really enjoy footballand feel as though at the college level itwill help prepare me for life after school,which was why I decided to play in col-lege. I am planning to major in biologywith an emphasis on pre-medicine,”Jacob Pepin said.

“I've been playing football since I wasa little kid and played with my dad andolder brother growing up. I decided tocommit to UW-Oshkosh because of the

culture established in the football pro-gram, it is close to home, and it has myintended major. I plan on majoring inElectrical Engineering Technology at UW-Oshkosh,” said Timothy Seramur.

“I have been playing football for aslong as I can remember. The first team Ijoined was a flag football team in 1stgrade and I haven't stopped since. Idecided on continuing my athletic andacademic careers at UW-Oshkosh for a fewreasons. I went to a summer footballcamp before my senior year started and Iloved the coaching staff. Even whenworking with all of us kids they wereworking to bring the best out of everysingle player. This was much differentthan many other camps I went to whichall seemed to be searching for talentinstead of improving on skills. Anotherreason I decided was because on my mul-tiple visits to the campus I felt at homeand I felt that I wouldn't have muchtrouble transitioning into the college lifeespecially with two of my best friendscoming with me. I am currently debatingbetween majoring in Psychology andKinesiology,” Jason Patterson stated

“I have been playing football since5th grade with the youth program. WhenI got to high school, I skipped freshman

football to pursue basketball butreturned to football my sophomore year.I choose Augustana because of the peo-ple, coaches, and current players. Theymade it feel like home even though it’s aseven hour drive. They have a great phi-losophy and plan for the future of theprogram and I wanted to be a part ofthat. In addition, Coaches Olszewski (OJ),Malone, Scholten and King really believein me as a player, a person and as a stu-dent. They made the decision easier.Finally, when I committed back inSeptember, Coach OJ promoted his 3F’s —Faith, Family and Football and that madethe decision final and a blessing. I planto double major in Education andPsychology. I love working with theyouth and teaching. I want to be a schoolcounselor as well as a coach. I want to beable to create bonds and relationshipsand give guidance to people,” said JoshBuddenhagen, who also has been namedas a DL to the WFCA North Large 2019All-Star game Saturday, July 20, 2019, atTitan Stadium, UW-Oshkosh.

“I have been playing soccer for over13 years and am excited to continueplaying in college at Prairie State. I chosePrairie State because they have a verygood set program in place. Their diversi-ty they get from recruiting players fromaround the world. I am undecided aboutmy major but look forward to exploringall that Prairie State has to offer me formy future,” said Michael Fulop.

Hartford Rotary March Students of the Month

“In a way I have had two lives and I love combiningmy old experience, working in a research lab, into theclassroom. In addition, I am very interested in thematerial science sector of chemistry and engineeringafter attending a few seminars at various science con-ferences so I was very honest about my weak back-ground in that subject area. My goal is to bring thepassion of science to everyone in my classroom,” Lauerstated. “Ultimately I applied to make myself a better

teacher and become a student again. Teaching scienceis about being dynamic, possessing a willingness tochange with new ideas or developments and alwaysbringing new things into the classroom. My othermotivation was to change roles from teacher to studentin the lab. The idea of working in a cutting edgeresearch lab at Madison was motivating.”

She then added: “When I was offered the position,they told me that I had a very strong application.While I can't say with certainty what made me a strong

candidate, I believe my past experience in the researchlab and my willingness to always try new approaches inthe classroom helped me stand out. Some examples ofthis are the fact that we have been working with UW-Madison's chemistry department with our crystal con-test for the past five years. I completed an educationalfellowship last year through UW-Madison's Educationdepartment and I worked with Mark Arnholt helpingMarquette pilot a protein purification process for highschool students.”

Maintaining a vehicle is more thanjust a way to protect one's financialinvestment. Vehicle maintenence canprotect against accidents and make theroad safer for drivers and their passen-gers as well as their fellow motorists.

Fully functioning brakes are animportant component of automotivesafety. In its 2015 Crash Stats report,the National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration said that brake-relatedproblems accounted for 22 percent ofcrashes where vehicular failure wascited as the cause of the collision. Badbrakes are particularly notorious forrear-end collisions. Faulty, worn brakelines, antilock brake system malfunc-tions and worn brake pads and discs aresome potential brake problems.

It is important that motorists learnto recognize the first symptoms ofbrake trouble so they can address issuesbefore they put drivers, their passen-gers and other motorists at risk of acci-dent or injury.

• Unusual noises: Screeching, grind-ing, rubbing, and high-pitched soundsare common indicators that brake pads,rotors and other parts of the brakingsystem need attention. Worn pads cancause damage to other vehicle parts,resulting in more expensive repairs ifthey're not addressed promptly.

• Pulling: If the car pulls to one sidewhen applying the brakes, this mayindicate brake pad linings are wearingdown unevenly. A brake adjustmentmay be necessary. Pulling also may beindicative of an object or debris caughtin the brake fluid.

• Less responsive: If when pressingon the brake pedal the brakes just donot seem to be as effective as they oncewere, or it is necessary to press thepedal harder for the brakes to engage,there may be a brake fluid leak or an airleak. Check under the vehicle to see ifany fluids are pooling.

• Pungent odors: Firestone TireCompany says a burning smell may beindicative of worn out brake pads andfriction on the tires. Each of theseissues require immediate attention.

• Vibrations: Certain vibrations mayindicate brake issues. Rotors canbecome warped from metal-on-metalrubbing, potentially leading to a failureof the vehicle to brake properly.Vibrations also may indicate tires aremisaligned. These problems can beproperly assessed by a trained mechan-ic.

Do not let potential brake problemsgo unchecked. Keeping brakes in goodworking order helps drivers stop morereadily and avoid collisions.

How to recognize potential brake problems

Traffic accidents can occur at anytime of day. But while many drivers arecomfortable driving during daylighthours, that comfort level drops consider-ably when the sun goes down and drivervisibility is reduced.

According to a 2016 analysis of datafrom the U.S. Department ofTransportation's Fatality AnalysisReporting System, 43 percent of motorvehicle crash deaths in the United Statesin 2014 occurred between the hours of 6p.m. and 3 a.m. While various factorscontributed to those deaths, poor visibil-ity was certainly among them, as manydrivers simply don't see as well whendriving at night as they do when drivingduring the day.

Some motorists who are uncomfort-able driving at night avoid the roads alto-gether once the sun goes down. Butthat's not an option for the millions ofdrivers across the globe who must driveat night for personal or professional rea-sons. Remaining alert at all times andobeying traffic laws are great ways tostay safe when driving at night, and thefollowing are some additional strategiesthat can help motorists make nighttimedriving more safe.

• Test your headlights. Many driversgo years without inspecting or replacingtheir headlights or headlight bulbs.Conduct routine inspections of headlightsand turn them on at night to determinewhere the lights are pointing. Drivers of

older vehicles with plastic lens coversmay notice the covers have becomecloudy or yellow. Such covers should bepolished or replaced. If light from theheadlights is being aimed too low orunevenly, adjust their aim on your ownor ask your mechanic to do so.

• Adjust your interior lighting.Dashboard lighting can sometimes affectdriver visibility if the light is too bright.When vehicle dashboard lighting is toobright, the resulting reflection can affectand distract drivers' eyes, compromisingtheir ability to see the road. Dim dash-board lighting to a level that does notadversely affect your ability to see theroad at night, and do the same with GPSsystems if they are reflecting too bright-ly as well.

• Don't allow smoking inside yourvehicle. Smoking inside a vehicle canaffect driver visibility in various ways.When drivers or their passengers smoke

inside a car, the smoke that lingers candry out drivers' eyes, making their eyestired and forcing them to work harder tostay open. In addition, smoke, especiallysmoke from vaping, can cloud up quickly,making drivers feel as if they're lookingthrough dense fog just to see the road.Finally, smoking inside a vehicle canstain the interior of vehicle windshields,making it harder for drivers to see out ofthe windshield to the road ahead.

• Schedule routine vision checkups.Nighttime drivers are sometimes betrayedby their own eyes. If it's been awhilesince you have had a vision checkup,schedule one. A new eyeglass or contactprescription may be just what you needto start seeing things more clearly atnight.

Nighttime driving can be difficult,but drivers can take steps to make them-selves more comfortable when drivingafter dark.

Make driving after dark more safe

E V E R Y W E E K I N P R I N T .E V E R Y D A Y O N L I N E .

Weather often contributes to motorvehicle accidents. Snow, rain and otherfactors that compromise drivers' visioncan make driving hazardous, but there'sa dark side to sunny skies as well.

Glare from the sun can compromisedrivers' vision and lead to drivingmishaps, regardless of drivers' experienceor skill level. The sun can pack a power-ful punch any time during the day, butcan be especially hazardous in the earlymorning sunrise and late-afternoon sun-set.

A 2017 study published in the journalMedicine titled, "Life-threatening motorvehicle crashes in bright sunlight"looked at the risks posed by bright sun-light. Researchers found that the risk ofa life-threatening crash was 16 percenthigher during bright sunlight than dur-ing normal weather. Researchers con-cluded that bright sunlight may createvisual illusions that lead to driver error,including poor distance judgement.

Plentiful sunlight is often a hallmark

of spring and summer, but sun-blindnessis a real concern for drivers. As anyonewho has turned into blazing sun only todiscover their windshield has been ren-dered opaque by sun glare can attest,driving on sunny days can be challeng-ing. Unfortunately, the sun might createsubstantial glare during rush hour, mak-ing driving during these times more dan-gerous and accidents more likely.

While there might be no way to pre-vent glare, drivers can take steps tomake driving safer during times of daywhen glare is prevalent.

• Make sure the windshield is clean.Water marks, dead insects, cracks, androad grime can make it even harder tosee out of the windshield when the sunis blazing. Clean windshields regularly,and don't wait until you're head-on intothe sun to engage the windshield washerspray. Doing so may only further com-promise visibility.

• Observe speed limits. When glare ispresent, slow down and keep more space

between your vehicle and the vehicle infront of you. If someone in front of youneeds to brake suddenly, the greater dis-tance between vehicles can give youmore time to react and avoid accidents.

• Change your route. Try changingyour commute so you're not drivinghead-on into eastern sun in the morningand western sun in the afternoon.

• Invest in new sunglasses. Speciallenses that mitigate glare, UV rays andblue light can make it easier for driversto handle glare when behind the wheel.

• Make sure the visor is functioning.

Sun visors are there for a reason. Use itto the best of your ability, angling asneeded.

• Pull over. If the glare is especiallybad, Plymouth Rock Assurance suggestsplaying it safe and pulling over until thesun rises or sets. You also may want tochange your driving time to avoid theglare.

Motor vehicle accidents can happenon bright, sunny days. Glare can com-promise drivers' visibility, and driversmay need to take steps to protect theirvision on sunny days.

When warm weather arrives, many people enjoy acollective sigh of relief. Just as people welcome theend of the cold, snow and ice, cars and trucks also canbenefit from more moderate temperatures.

Salt, grime and pot holes can take a toll on tiresover the course of a typical winter. Drivers will not getfar this spring and summer without tires in goodrepair, which is why tire maintenance should be part ofany seasonal repair checklist.

Inflation levelsNow is the time to use a tire pressure gauge to see

if tires are at the ideal inflation levels. Many tires indi-cate the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) ontheir sidewalls. Cold temperatures may cause tires todeflate a little. Esurance states that winter weathercan cause tire pressure reduction at about one PSI for

every 10 degrees the temperature drops. Driving onimproperly inflated tires can be dangerous, potentiallyaffecting handling and braking distances.

Check tires when they are cold for the most accu-rate reading. Properly inflated tires also will improvefuel economy, so drivers may even save a little moneyby inflating their tires.

Tire rotation/realignmentExamine the tires for tread wear. Any uneven or

abnormal tread wear could indicate that the tires needto be rotated and the wheels realigned at the veryleast. Take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic to gettheir opinion on how to remedy the situation.Mechanics may recommend rotating tires every 6,000to 8,000 miles, or about every six months for the aver-age driver.

Wheel realignment may be necessary after a seasonof driving over potholes and other irregularities in theroad. Misaligned wheels can cause handling problems,like the car "pulling" to one side.

Tire replacementDrivers may discover extreme tread wear, bulges or

even cracks in the sidewall during a tire inspection.These signs indicate that it's time to replace the tires.Failing to replace old, worn down tires can increase therisk of automobile accidents.

Thorough cleaningOnce tires are inspected and possibly serviced or

replaced, treat the car or truck to a washing and thor-ough detailing. This will help tires shine and get thevehicle road-ready for spring trips.
