Family of toddler who receivedkidney transplant counts holiday blessings

By Nik ki A ckermanStaff Writer

As the family of a Jackson girl

who underwent a kidneytransplant closes out a year ofunthinkable lows and joyoushighs, the Kiefers have a lot forwhich to be thankful this holidayseason.

We are very much lookingforward to Christmas this year,dad Eric Kiefer said in aninterview with Family Matters.We are so grateful to still haveour little girl with us, and theChristmas season helps usremember to be cheerful, and notso consumed with the negativesof life.

Indeed, since undergoing asuccessful kidney transplantfroman organ donated by her mother,Jennifer, in Julyfour-year-oldKennedy Kiefer has beenflourishing.

This year was awhirlwind... and we have hope

that the worst is behind us, Eric said. Every time we go toChildrens Hospital, were reminded that we could always have itworse.

A devastating diagnosis...Kennedy was just eight months old when she was diagnosed with

a Wilms tumor on her right kidney, andthe girls parents received the

news every parent prays they will never have to hear.Your child has cancer, recalled Eric. Its every parents worst

nightmare.It was a heartbreaking time, said Eric, but following the removal

of the kidney, 19 weeks of chemotherapy and a second surgery for abowel obstruction, the family thought they had woken from a baddream and could move on with the rest of their lives.

We thought everything was okay and that she was just fine,said Eric.

However, in January, Kennedys blood work showedcomplications with her remaining kidney and a biopsy revealed thather WT1 gene, which prevents tumors, had mutated duringdevelopment in the womb. This caused an extremely rare medicalconditionDenys-Drash Syndromeof which there are just 200diagnosed cases in the world. The sobering fact is that children with

this syndrome suffer complete kidney failure by age three, developWilms tumors and face many related complications, so the race wason to get a new kidney into Kennedys little body.

It was a hard-hitting blow, said Eric, but the familywhich alsoincludes t heir six-year-old son Lukasgathered its strength andforgedahead.

Once you come to grips with what you have to do, you can dealwith things, he said. There have been many ups and downs, justlike a rollercoaster ride, but you just do what you have to do.

Light at the end of the tunnel...Good eventually did come for the family as Jennifer, who was

determined to be the best match for her daughter, was able to donata kidney t o Kennedy. However, the period from January t o July watouch and go as potential donors were ruled out, said Eric.

Naturally we thought with our big family, surely one of u

would qualify as a donor, but as one after the other of our familymembers were disqualified, we were terrified of Kennedy having togo on the donor list, because that would mean months, if not yearsof dialysis, he explained. Not to mention her not having the besmatch possible which could lead to rejection.

Thankfully, Jennifer was a viable matchWe celebrated that dalike no other, Eric saidandeverything went according to plan witha speedy recovery for both mot her and daughter.

Jennifer was discharged after a few days and Kennedy after twoweeksa time during which her dad never left her side and her mothevisited her at Childrens Hospital every day.

I slept in a recliner next to her bed and it was such a privilege todo that, Eric said. Often Kennedy would wake up i n pain and neecomforting and I was able to be there. It was an amazing ti me.

Now several months post-transplant, the family has had to adjusto a new routine.

The key, Eric said, is making sure Kennedy takes her antirejection medicationcurrently seven different kinds at 12-houintervalsand drinks enough water.

Thats probably the biggest challenge, explaining to a child, Iyou dont take this medication, youre not going to make it, Erisaid. Its hard to get her to take them every day at the same timebut we somehow manage to get them all down each day. Secretly admire her for taking them all. I dont know if I could stomachthem.

Moving forward...The family is taking it one day at a time, Eric shared, noting

that Kennedy will be able to live a full life and do just abouanything she wants with the exception of direct contact sports.

Kennedy has been exposed to the medical side of thisdoctor

and nurses and check upsher whole life, so she understands thapart, he said. Now she just needs to be aware that she has a kidneyin the front part of her body and that she needs to guard it.

Otherwise, it is back to life as usual at the Kiefer household, saiEric, as Kennedy, who recently started ballet classes, is as normaas the next four-year-old.

The biggest thrill for Kennedy was being reunited with her brotheafter a too-long hospital stay.

How do you deal with the separation of siblings? Eric askedLukas understands that Kennedys kidney was broken, but he reallmissed her while she was gone. When he first visited her in thhospital, both of their faces just lit up. Theyre best friends.

Eric said Lukas is thrilled to have his sister back, and sincKennedys return, the siblings have been joined at the hip, watchingmovies together in a chair.

Right now the family excitedly awaits their the Make-A-WishFoundation trip to Disney World in F ebruary.Everything now is princess this, princess that, said Eric.

The struggles that lie ahead...Grateful their daughter is growing strong and healthy once again

the Kiefers still face the very harsh reality of a lifetime of medicabills and a laundry list of challenges that come with the territory ohaving an organ transplant.

Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get,but we make a life by what we give."

Whether it be time, money, material possessions or kindness,

giving of oneselfespecially during this time of yearis not only ablessing for the recipient, but a spirit-lifter for the giver.

The classic example is the holiday transformation of EbenezerScrooge who finds that generosityrather than draining hisresourcesfills his soul.

"As Scrooge discovers the joy ofgood deeds, he blooms with the'helper's high' and his spirit i s reborn.And a merrier man had never beenseen, as the story goes," health writerJeanie Lerche Davis states in herWebMD article "The Science of GoodDeeds."

The benefits of giving are plentifulfor everyone involved, agree leaders of

local charitable organizationsand arearesidents are certainly rising to thechallenge.

Jim Chrisien, interim director ofthe St. Boniface Food Pantry inGermantown, said the communityspirit that comes alive through thisprocess is astounding.

"It 's really enlightening andam azi ng how t he com mun it ycontinues to help us and give to us,"he said. "I'm just amazed by the foodthat comes in, and the volunteers hereare smiling and enjoying what they're doing. And that's the wholepointwe're supposed to be giving joyfully."

This time of year is especially crucial for giving, said DianeSchaejbe, treasurer of the Full S helf Food Pantry in West Bend. S hesaid record numbers of residents seek help toward the end of the year,with Novem ber traditionally having the highest total of approximately 600 families in need of pantry services.

"We see the highest need during this time of year, so we reallyencourage everyone to giv e, and people do seem to give more duringthese months," Schaejbe said. "Then if we are left with extra, wehave that surplus for the months when we don't see as manydonations coming insuch as January, February and March.

She noted that as a rule, the community genuinely wants to reachout a helping hand; they just arent always sure how to go about it.

Many people want to give in some way, but they don't knowhow, which is why giving to an organization like us is a good wayto get food and other supplies to the people who need them,

Schaejbe said.The treasurer said she derives as much from her volunteering as

she puts in."Seeing the tears in people's eyes when they walk out with big

boxes of food is the best reward anyone could ask for," she said.Other area organizations also up their year-round efforts during

the lean winter months.In September, the United Way of Washington County kicked off

its 2013 campaign with more than 500 volunteers packaging 61,048meals for l ocal food pantries.

"The first goal we set for the campaign was to mobilize more

than 200 volunteers to help with a growing need in WashingtonCountyhunger," stated Kristin Brandner, United Way ExecutivDirector. "To have more than double the number of volunteers weoriginally planned to recruit has been inspiring and speaks volumesto the caring residents of our local community."

Without such support, the non-profit would not be able to

provide the funding it currently does to help the more than 28,000individuals throughout Washington County.

The needs continue to grow and more and more local residentare reaching out for supportand some for the first time. Foexample, the Full Shelf Food Pantry served over 420 first-time

families last year, said Brander.She emphasized, "It takes th

whole community working togetheto create change.

Al th oug h one of t he m oscommon ways to give, feeding thhungry is not the only need at thitime of year.

The Gingerbread House, which ipart of the Youth and Family Projec

in West Bend, is a gift-givingprogram that provides area familiewith a proper Christmas.

Going into its 14th year, thprogram assists in getting between500 and 600 famili es "adopted" everyyear, said coordinator Linda White.

"Our mission is that no child inWashington County go without Christmas," she said, explaininghow qualifying familiesparents anchildren alikeget the requests ontheir "wish lists" granted and walk

away with presents, and a holiday meal if they want one. "We focuon the whole family, not just the kids, because little people ar

willing to gi ve up their gi fts if Mom and Dad don't have somethingunder the t ree, too."

White said she spearheaded the program when she saw the neefor an additional gift-giving initiative in the county above andbeyond what was already offered. The Gingerbread Housewhich alsoprovides fam ilies with winter coats and other clothingitemsquickly rose t o the level of being considered "the Christmaprogram of Washington County."

Amelia Wright is not your typical teenage girl.The 13-year-old loves to hang out with friends and have fun, sure,but her life is more about focus and accomplishment than partying andsleeping in.

"I'm one of those people who is up at 6 in the morning and planswhat they're going to do that day," said the eighth grader at CentralMiddle School in Hartford.

The recent winner of her school's Teen Action Group (T.A.G.) anti-bullying T-shirt contest, Wright possesses a rare self-awareness andconfidence that allows her to be herself and pursue her many interestsno matter what others may say. Not only is she a member of theschool's orchestra and swim teams, but also one of the only females onthe wrestling team.

"People always ask me if it's awkwardto be on the wrestling teamand I tell them no, it's not," she said. "I just do it. I don't even thinkabout it."

Even with her nonchalant, ready-for-anything approach to life,Wright has taken her share of ridicule for her oft-outside-the-boxchoices, which is why her participation in the contest held inrecognition of National Anti-Bullying Week held personal meaning.

"In elementary school and into sixth grade, I was bullied for beinga tomboy because I didn't like to dress all girly and pretty," she said.But in seventh grade I stood up for myself and it stopped."

Wright's unwavering moral code l eads her to protect others aswelleven classmates she doesn't know.

"Whenever I see someone getting bullied in the hallway, whether ornot I know the person, I put a stop to it," she said. "I just go up to (theindividual doing the bullying) and say, 'Hey, knock it off!'"

Her winning T-shirt designthe phrase "Think Bright Stop Bullying"paired with a lightbulbcame to the teen, who has a passion for writing,quite naturally one October day in study hall.

"I have always loved writing, especially poetry, and I wantedsomething simple for the design," the teen said. "So I looked aroundthe room andstarted putting words together in my headand then the ideajust hit me."

Still, she never thought she would win."I actually thought the idea was kind of cheesy," Wright said with a

modest laugh. "When my name was announced on the loudspeaker, Iwas like, 'Whoa.' But I was very excited."

The design was then put on T-shirts that were sold to fellowstudentswith great reception for $5.

"I have seen quite a few T-shirts on kids in the hallway," Wrightsaid.

The honor roll studentwho also loves science, reading and artsaysshe plans to continue entering these types of creative contests and usingher interests to promote positive messages.

"Just today I wrote two anti-drug poems for RedRibbon Week," she

said. "I am really against drugs. Drugs are horrible andthey really messyou up."

It is precisely because there are so many negative influences andharmful temptations lurking that Wrights mother, Andrea Goodling,keeps her daughter busy with productive activities.

"My mom purposely fills my time (with extra-curriculars) so thatI stay away from bad habits, and I'm glad she does that," Wright said."Every night I have some kind of practice, and I have meets on

Saturdays and church and youth group on Sundays. My only real fretime is after 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays and maybe Sunday afternoon imy chores are done.

The limi ted idle time is largely because the responsible anconscientious teen doesn't do anything halfway. She is the school'Second Chair viola player (just a couple of songs behind First Chairshe noted), a Level 6 swimmer who skipped four levels right off the ba("My dad was a swimmer so I guess it's in the genes," she said), anenthusiastic wrestler who already recruitedanother girl for the team anan involved member of United Methodist First Church in Hartford.

Above all, Wright is the kind of individual who has no problemnavigating her own path through life.

"We're very proud of her," her mother said during a phonconversation with Family Matters. "She's involved in a lot of thingsshe is very outgoing and she speaks her mind."

And as she looks to the future, Wright has no shortage oaspirations.

"I want to be either a paleontologist or an astrophysicist," she said"I also have a dream of writing a book."

While many young people have lofty goals, few have a detaileblueprint laid out like this teenager does.

"I have lots of plans," Wright said, noting that she will seek to startraining for the National Guard while still in high school so that threserve military force will pay her college tuition, and then after collegserve the Guard for four years, "and then start my life."

"I think that will really build character," she said.Until then, Wright will continue on the route that has led her be th

sound, well-adjusted girl she is today."I will just keep going and doing what I'm doing," she said. "If i

Child's Play: How Imaginative Play Benefits Your Child(Family Features) Between the everyday obligations of school,

sports and other extra-curricular activit ies, many children equateplaytime with sitting in front of the television, computer or otherelectronic device.

This dependence on electronic devices can be linked to a list ofissues, including childhood obesity, as well as reduced cognitive and

muscle development. Children who instead engage in imaginativeor pretend play are offered a stress-free environment where theirdreams have no boundary. This type of activity just comes naturallyfor kids because it's just plain fun.

Create a pretend play paradi seA make-believe-friendly setting begins with t he parents. Here ar

a few ideas to create an environment that fosters creative, imaginativplay for your littl e ones:

Focus on fun: A truly free setting for imaginative play is one

without structure or rules. Let your child know there are noexpectations or wrong outcomes while they are pretending. Thermay be moments where you have to intervene, but the atmosphershould be relaxed and free from rules.

Give toys that encourage pretend play: Make sure your kids havtoys that allow them to express themselves. The Calico Critters toyline is the ideal choice for parents seeking timeless, classic toys thadelight children andpromote wholesome values through pretend playChildren will love these adorable, high-quality miniature animafigures, which include families of rabbits, dogs, cats, bears and moreFor more information, visit www.calicocritters.com.

Read to your children: The benefits of children who are regularlread to are immense, from enhanced bonding between parent and chilto better test scores. So, begin the reading ritual as early as you can

You will find your child will love and look forward to sharing thishealthy activity with you.

Play along: Young children mimic everything their parents doso be a model of imaginative play for them. Go ahead and act silly- dress up with them, act out puppet shows or build forts with bedsheets. Calico Critters, with its imaginative collection of familieshomes and accessories is perfect for "Mommy & Me" playtime. Youmay be surprised by how much enjoyment you get out of it.

Create a fantasy prop box: Fill a box with various trinkets founthroughout your home for kids to create their own forts, homesbusinesses or simply a rousing game of dress-up. Just make sure topick items that are safe and you won't miss if they are lost odamaged from heavy play.

Plan open-ended activiti es: Insteadof starting an art project witha finished model for them to create, plan free painting or craftingsessions with your kids. This will allow your children to fullyexpress themselves any way they desire. Just make sure you havplenty of fun supplies on hand, such as glitter, paper, glue, markersboxes, feathers, sequins or any other trinkets you have on hand.

By creating an atmosphere open to imaginative play, youchild will be open to new worlds and have tons of fun whilexploring them.

This is in no small part thanks to across-the-board communityassistance, she said.

"You would be hard-pressed t o find someone i n WashingtonCounty who has not had some kind of involvement in the program,and that is very exciting," White said. "The fact that so manyindividuals, organizations, churches and businesses have stepped up

to t he plate to put smiles on the faces of others for Christmas reallyspeaks a lot of the community. (Participating) is an emotional andpositive experience that is truly about giving."

Chrisien said it all comes down to the age-old principle oftreating others as one would want to be treated in similarcircumstances.

"There's obviously the religious aspect of taking care of the poorand the hungry, but it's also about just helping another human beingand reaching out to others in your neighborhood who are down ontheir luck," he said. "That's what we all should be doing if we havethe meanstaking care of people who need it."

We have a lot of expenses right now and insurance does not coveeverything, plus Kennedy will need medications that can be up to$900 per month out of pocket, said Eric. That is a tremendousfinancial burden, not just now when she is living with us, but foher when she is on her own.

Senior housing market swells with investment potential(NewsUSA)America's elderly are one of the fastest-growing

segments of the population. As a group, senior citizens over age 85are expected to double between now and 2030. While people arewondering what Social Security will look like in the coming years,senior housing is another rising concern.

Some families are in a position to shelter older relatives, but

those who don't have that option are looking at nursing homes orassisted living facilities. Si nce assisted living is preferred five to oneover nursing homes, it's not too surprising that the market for newproperties is expanding.

The demand for assisted living facilties will continue to surge asthe population ages. Plus, it's need-driven for elderly folks who can'tlive alone due to certain conditions, like Alzheimers. It's this demandthat makes senior housing great for investment opportunities.

"Whenever we look at the rapidly aging population in Americaand the lack of meaningful new construction, we realize how strongthe assisted living market will be for the next decade," says GaryLangendoen, senior managing director of Madison RealtyCompanies. "The opportunity to expandassisted living properties byadding more beds and to include memory care sections in propertiesprovides significant value-added opportunities to this asset class."

Currently, small regional operators own the majority of stableassisted living establishments, or they're of the mom-and-popvariety. According to Alexei Muniak of Xnergy Financial(www.xnergyfinancial.com), an investment banking firmspecializing in capital structuring for emerging-growth companies,it's simpleMadison Realty management sees a huge opportunity inassisted living real estate.

Currently, Xnergy Financial is helping clients, like MadisonRealty Companies, set up the capital structure for success.

(October 28, 2013) Waukesha, WI United Way in WaukeshaCounty, in collaboration wit h United Way of Northern Ozaukee andUnited Way of Washington County, has identified a common needinsoutheastern Wisconsin suburban communities; the inability ofmany residents to meet their basic needs, highlighted as the ALICEpopulation.

ALICE* is an acronym that stands for A sset Limited, IncomeConstrained, Employed. ALICE represents men and women of allages and races who get up each day to go to work but are unsure iftheyll be able to put dinner on the table each night. They are ourchildcare workers, mechanics, home health aides, store clerks, andoffice assistants workers who make our economy run.

The local United Ways have reviewedincome and survival budgetdata which identifies a segment of the population that earns morethan the poverty rate but less than what is required to make endsmeet. The analysis shed light on the fact that in each of the threecommunities, the ALICE population is quite similar. There is agreat need in our suburban communiti es of which most residents areunaware. A portion of t he population is experiencing financial

hardship and struggles to survive on a daily basis, stated JayneThoma, Executive Director of United Way in Waukesha County.Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counti es are regularly rated

among the most affluent counties in the state of Wisconsin. Thethree United Ways are working together to educate their localcommunities about the growing needs and how each individualUnited Way is responding.

In Waukesha County alone, an estimated 24.4% of the populatiois identified as ALICE, which means they are struggling financiallto meet basic needs. The attached summary highlights a householminimal survival budget that details the income needed to surviveThe budget covers just essential needs, but not luxuries such as celphones, internet, cable, and new clothes. It also does not providany room for building savings and gaining assets. People who falinto t he ALICE population are often unable to plan for the future ounexpected emergencies and life events.

United Way in Waukesha County is using the ALICE data tsupport its Financial Stability Initiative that targets families anindividuals who fall at 150-200% of the poverty level. The clientparticipate in intensive one-on-one case management to develop thskills necessary to increase their income, build savings, and gaiassets. The long-term investment in Financial Stability is to reducby 85% the number of working poor in the targeted population iWaukesha County. Long term, this will reduce the ALICpopulation and lead to a more productive and financially stablWaukesha County.

The 12 Days of Pet-Safe Holidays

(Family Features) The holidays can be a hectic time foreveryone. While you're busily gearing up for guests and parties,it's important to remember your pet's safety to ensure a festiveand fun season is enjoyed by all.

From bright decorations to holiday house guests, it can be easyto overlook a few household dangers that may cause harm to yourfavorite companions. Here are a few things to keep in mind tokeep your fuzzy friend safe and jolly this holiday:

12 Covered Cords: Cords used for holiday lights can betempting to chew for many pets. Take time while decorating totape down or cover cords to help prevent shocks, burns or otherserious injuries.

11 Tempting Table Scraps: Rich scraps such as drippings,gravy and poultry skin can cause pets to suffer from upsetstomach, diarrhea and even pancreatitis, which are not onlyterribly painful but can be fatal. Giving your dog poultry bonesis also a bad idea as they can splinter and get stuck in your dog'sgastrointestinal tract.

10 Radiant Ribbons: Cats may be interested in playing withor eating tinsel and ribbons hanging from trees. These decorations

should be placed high on the tree ornot used at all because they canpotentially cause serious intestinaldamage if swallowed.

9 Dinging Doorbells: Considerputting your dog on a leash beforepeople start arriving. Not only willyou be able to control him if hebegins to jump, you'll also avoid himrunning out the door.

8 Tasty Treats: Keep human partysnacks out of reach from animals andoffer pet-friendly options instead.

7 Quiet Corners: Provide pets

with a quiet place to retreat so theycan choose whether to come out andvisit or keep to themselves whencompany arrives.

6 Patient Puppies: Tell yourguests that your puppy is in training,and he needs to be polite before theysay "hello" to him. Have your dog sit,using a treat if necessary, and once

he's sitting and calm let your guests pet him. 5 Perilous Plants: Mistletoe, holly berries and poinsettia

plants are all poisonous for dogs, so skip them as decorations omake sure they are out of reach.

4 Guarded Glasses: Alcohol and pets do not mix. Placealcoholic drinks safely out of reach and patrol the party to be sureyour guests do the same. Alcohol poisoning can be fatal.

3 Calming Coats: Using a ThunderShirt can calm a nervoudog by applying gentle pressure to the body. In addition to thetraditional coat, there are now cold weather ThunderSweater anThunderCoat options.

2 Nearby Numbers: Keep contact information for youveterinarian and the nearest emergency veterinary clinic readilyavailable in case of a holiday mishap.

1 Towering Tree: Seasonal trees are sure to attract a pet'attention and should be secured to keep from toppling over if pet should try to climb them, use as a scratching post or simplybump into them.

(Family F eatures) As decorations are hung this holiday season inpreparation for entertaining family and friends, consider creatingambiance using lighting in the main social rooms of the home,including the kitchen, dining and living rooms. Beyond thetrimmings, presents and other jolly adornments, it is essential tohave the proper lighting to enhance the glow of the holidays andadjust the mood of a room.

Here are some tips to make sure the lighting in every room inyour home is properly outfitted to create an inviting and comfortableatmosphere for the holidays and beyond:

Use higher quality lightLighting helps set a mood in a room. When choosing the type of

light needed for a room, consider whether you want a soft light orcrisp bright light. GE reveal(r) light bulbs, for example, filter outdull yellow rays and provide clean, beautiful light that brings outthe vibrant colors of the holiday season - making reds appear redderand whites whiter - to make the colors in your holiday wreaths anddecorations pop. For more information, visit

www.gelighting.com/reveal."So often we just take the color of light for granted you flip th

switch, and you get light. But GE reveal(r) transforms any room andramatically unveils finishes and furnishings to make your holidaydecorations the focal point of a room," said Mary Beth Gotti, GE'residential lighting design expert and manager of the GE LightingInstitute. "When budgets are tight around the holiday season, GEreveal(r) lighting is a quick and easy makeover, providing energysavings and vibrant colors by filtering out the yellowish haze tha

some don't even realize is there with standardincandescent bulbs untiit's gone."

Layer the lightingInstead of relying on one type of light source, layer your lighting

by using a mix of light sources at different levels, to create flattering ambiance. The effect of layered lighting in the livi ng roomhighlights architectural details, like the festively decorated fireplacandmantel with evergreens andholly berries. Ambient lighting fromrecessed fixtures with dimming control in the kitchen allowflexibility to adjust as needed for cooking and baking during the dato entertaining guests in the evening, or for spending late nightwrapping presents.

Additionally, the holidays would not be complete without cozyintimate gatherings around the dining room table with family and

friends. Layered lighting applied around the dining room table can sethe mood so you and your guests can comfortably enjoy the turkeydinner with all the dressings.

Keep energy efficiency in mindSelect energy-efficient lightingsuch as CFLs an

LEDsfor optimal energy savings. This is especiallimportant in rooms where the most time is spent with thlights on in order to see the biggest energy savings impactMany energy-efficient alternatives of today mirror the lighquality of the traditional incandescent bulb, providing thwarm glow and dimming capabilities.

Do your homeworkSavvy homeowners should do a little research befor

purchasing light bulbs to ensure compatibility with theifixtures. Be sure to match up the bulb shape anapplication, choose the appropriate lumen, or brightneslevel, and review the light bulb packaging for dimmabloptions.

Make this holiday season a cheerful occasion, and donrely on overhead lighting alone to deck your halls anwalls. With a layered approach and a lit tle l ighting knowhow, you'll create the welcoming and warm atmospher

(NewsUSA)With winter upon us, tire safety in cold weather issomething every car owner should be familiar with. Most driversconcentrate on tire safety in hot weather to avoid blowouts, but thesame precautions should be exercised in t he winter. One of the mosteffective ways to be safe on the road is to use a winter tire speciallydesigned for cold weather.

Common all-season tires contain a tread compoundt hat gradually

hardens when temperatures dip below 45 degrees, resulting in adecrease in traction. These tires also tendto collect winter roaddebris,like s now and ice, which can impact a vehicle's performance onwintry roads.

Mark Ballard, spokesman for Discount Tire Company, America'slargest independent tire and wheel retailer, advises motorists toreplace all four tires with winter tires if they can expect to encountersnow andice during the winter months. "It's best to use winter tires,especially if you live in an area with extreme weather conditionswhere temperatures are below 45 degrees on a consistent basis," heexplains. "Relying on an all-season tire to do the work of a wintertire can be dangerous to you and other motorists. "

In recent years, the Rubber Manufacturers Association(www.rma.org) developed new standards for winter traction, whichled to technological advancements in the manufacture of winter tires.

For example, a newer tread compound featuring a hi gher silli cacontent retains tire flexibility even in freezing temperatures, allowingthe tread to maintain its grip with the highway.

Also, tread block design has been greatly improved with theaddition of thousands of "sipes," small cuts in the tread block thatprovide extra biting edges for more traction.

"Every aspect of today's winter tire has been engineered to providebetter traction and greater ability to quickly expel water, slush and

snow, provide a quieter ride and allow for longer tread life," sayBallard.

Winter tires tend to be slightly more expensive than all-seasonones. But like all tires, winter tires perform optimally when properlyinflated. Remember that a significant drop in temperature can loweair pressure. Typically, a 10-degree drop will cause tires to lose pound of pressure.
