First a big ‘Thank you’ to the many read-ers who took the time to email us about last months column. Everyone has a opinion on ‘The Donald’s run for the White House.

The Republican ‘establishment’ (The ‘RATS’-Republicans Against Trump) have been plotting to defeat Trump, even though he is, by far, their leading candidate for the Presidency. The ‘RATS’ have already spent tens of millions of dollars on negative ads, but it has had no impact on the Trump cam-paign at all. The ‘RATS’ are dismayed that Trump’s lead in the polls has, in fact in-creased recently. The ‘RATS’ include people like New York financier George Soros and his ‘establishment-supporting’ cronies who have put up about $15 million already.

The ‘RATS’ also include a group called ‘Our Principles’ with about $4.5 million funded mostly by Republicans. Their plan, ineffective so far, is to expose Trump’s past ‘liberal positions’. The ‘RATS’ must be very proud to include a group like

The Club for Growth Action’ who claim that “A big-government liberal at the top of the GOP ticket (I.E ‘The Donald’), would cost us (Republicans) the White House, the Senate, and ultimately, the US Supreme Court,”reportedly there are in for almost $8 million so far. The ‘RATS’ recent ‘Golden Boy’ Marco Rubio has ties to ‘Conservative Solutions’ . They boast, “We’re running a multi-state, ($55 million) campaign against

Donald Trump and the con-man scam he’s pulling on the American people,” Then there’s another ‘RATS’ group called, ‘The American Future Fund’ that has taken out aggressive anti-Trump ads, having spent about $25 million.

Candidate Ted Cruz, who seems to be the ostensible leader of ‘The RATS’, enjoys the support of ‘Stand for Truth’ which of course supports his presidential run to the tune of almost $10 million.

Who would have expected that ‘true, blue’ Republicans would spend billions of dollars just to get rid of Trump.

If ‘The RATS’ are successful, where would they go from there? Seems like they want to send Ted Cruz and John Kasich to the White House.

Its believed by many of us that ‘negative advertising’, doesn’t work; But the contest between ‘The RATS’ and ‘The Donald’ proves otherwise. The more ‘The RATS’ bash Trump, the more popular he gets. Trump needs 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination, it seems like ‘The RATS’ are helping him to do just that.

‘til next time. . .

(NAPSI)—For those with vision correc-tion needs, the daily rituals required in order to see clearly with glasses or contacts can be a real struggle. So it isn’t surprising that so many people consider LASIK as an attrac-tive alternative to treat their vision correc-tion issues. Although it is incredibly popu-lar, LASIK is surprisingly misunderstood. Like many things that make their way into cultural norms, LASIK’s prevalence and success have led to the rise of many myths about the procedure. If you are among the millions considering LASIK, the American Refractive Surgery Council is here to dispel some common myths about the laser vision correction surgery:

Myth: The LASIK procedure is the same today as when it was first performed 20 years ago.

Fact: Many new LASIK technologies and techniques have been introduced over the past two decades, many in just the past few years, that have improved the safety and visual results achieved for people choosing LASIK. As a result, today, LASIK has a 96 percent patient satisfaction rate.

Myth: You can’t have LASIK if you have astigmatism.

Fact: LASIK is approved to treat near-sightedness, farsightedness and astigma-tism. Advancements in LASIK make it pos-sible for more people with different kinds of vision prescriptions to be treated than ever before.

Myth: Everyone who wants LASIK can

have it done.Fact: Not everyone is a good candidate

for LASIK. If your corneas are too thin or irregular, or if you have certain eye or health diseases, LASIK may not be right for you. A qualified ophthalmologist specializing in refractive surgery can evaluate your vision and health to help determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK.

Myth: You can cut the cost of LASIK by shopping around for a special deal.

Fact: It’s true that many LASIK centers advertise special deals, but when it comes to your vision, you want what’s best for your eyes, not your wallet. Bargain-priced vi-sion correction may not include the level of care you want or use the latest technologies. Look for an experienced, highly qualified surgeon who works with the most advanced LASIK technologies available today. One deal you can feel good about: Many refrac-tive surgeons offer free LASIK consulta-tions.

To find out more about LASIK, read the American Refractive Surgery Council’s “In-sight” blog at www.americanrefractivesur-gerycouncil.org/blog.

How to prepare for elections:

We, as Ameri-cans, need to own our government. We need not only need to register to vote, we need to register Republi-can, as most of our local and state leg-

islative races will be decided in Republican only primaries in our region. Don’t be left without a voice as parties choose nominees. The general election will still allow the op-tion to vote for any candidate in the race.

It is incredibly important to pick a qual-

ity candidate. Look at their entire vote his-tory and make an informed decision. Don’t allow one controversial vote to dismiss a qualified candidate. Take the Ronald Reagan approach- someone you agree with 80% of the time is your ally. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of possibility. There are no per-fect people and no perfect candidates.

It’s also important to dig deeper into negative stories. A commercial or mail piece never delivers the entire story. Don’t allow the barrage of negative spin flyers make your decisions for you. And don’t let the negativity keep you away from the polls.

The registration deadline to vote in the August 30th primary is August 1st. The deadline to register to vote for the Novem-

ber 8th general election is October 11th. Ab-sentee ballots can be requested at votemar-ion.com.

There have been a lot of changes to dis-trict maps since the last election cycle. Both congressional and state senate districts have changed significantly, so make sure you find out what districts you reside in so you can make the best candidate choice for your area. Nothing is as disappointing as decid-ing on the best candidate only to discover they are not running for your district.

Lastly, get out there and vote. Candidates need your vote for the opportunity to serve and protect our family, family, freedom and opportunities. Also, remember to thank a veteran. So many have paid dearly for us to have the freedom to select our own leaders. Apathy is our greatest obstacle. You need to be active and at the table. Don’t let someone else have your vote by default!

It’s still a Great Country! Onward and upward!

Am I a Pub-lisher? YES! Am I a Journalist? NO, and I don’t want to be! I am just a guy in search of the truth and I believe that everyone has the right to see their opinion in print,

whether I agree with their opinion or not. I was recently criticized by a “Retired Journalist.” The reason I know he was a journalist is because he listed his past jobs as his credentials and one was the Ocala Star Banner WOOHOO. Now that one will put you at the top of the list.

The reason I own my own newspapers was I rarely agree with the editor’s opinion. Most look at life through a different set of eyes than I do. While disagreeing with an editor one day he said if you don’t like my opinion start your own newspaper, Wala! He is still an editor and I’m a publisher and I still look at things through different eyes than most. It’s a lot harder to sell ads, take pictures and write. Most editors never have to worry about new revenue.

Anyway, this very competent journalist said he could give me a few pointers. I got all excited, then reality set in. I’m not inter-ested in being a journalist. I told the gentle-

man that I thought he was well qualified to coach me but I don’t want to lose track of my main goal, “Search for the Truth.” Many local journalist just want to stir the pot. My job is to put our readers’ opinions in print and print facts. While in route of this goal maybe I can help some business people along the way. It’s happening again, the lo-cal daily takes every opportunity to stir up trouble for the Sheriff. It’s almost like they have an agenda??? Well it is an election year, I like Chris Blair and in case you missed it I ENDORSED him. I also endorsed Dennis Baxley. He has a great past record, he is a proven representative of the people.

I also like Earl Arnette. He’s a long time friend and he gave his word “No New Tax-es!” He kept his word but I think we needed to come up with some new money for the Sheriff’s Department instead of cutting the budget. In talking to him before the last vote he said he was going vote yes for the bud-get and two days later voted no. I’m not sure what that was all about but I’m sure he had his reasons. I need to talk to him some more to see where he stands now!.

The new one cent tax voted for by the people of Marion County will help some but keep your eyes on who gets what. Just be-cause voters think a portion is going to the Sheriff’s Department does not make it so. All of that is controlled by the County Com-

Tom Loury

Publisher’s Notes missioners and you know how they have been voting in the past.

All of the above, of course, is about poli-tics so why stop now. I understand that dele-gates’ rules are determined by the states and the parties. I think we should let the people vote in the candidates. Look at the mess we are in right now, the way it’s being run and

both parties are about to self destruct. If the person the people have chosen is not al-lowed to run, I’m afraid of what comes next. The people do not want the Big Banks, Big Business and Wall Street running the coun-try. They want smaller government, less government control, more freedom!

(NAPSI)—As the weather warms and outdoor watering starts, it’s a good time to ask: Are you throwing water—and mon-ey—into the wind? Experts estimate that 50 percent of the 9 billion gallons of water we use outdoors every day is lost due to evapo-ration, wind or runoff caused by inefficient landscape irrigation.

That’s why the U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency’s WaterSense® program is promoting three steps to start saving water this spring:

1. Right Plant, Right Place: Climates and geography vary nationwide, and your region has distinctive plant species it can natu-rally support without requiring extra water and fertilizers. Go back to your roots when you’re thinking about what to plant in your garden this spring. Visit WaterSense’s What to Plant tool (www.epa.gov/watersense/outdoor/what_to_plant.html) to help you choose plants that are right for your climate and require minimal watering. Then group your plants in “hydrozones” according to their water needs to make it easy to irrigate them correctly.

2. Sprinkler Spruce-Up: If you have an inground irrigation system, spring is the

perfect time to spruce it up before warm weather watering starts. Remember this mantra—inspect, connect, direct and se-lect: Inspect systems for clogged, broken or missing sprinkler heads; examine the points where the sprinkler heads connect to pipes or hoses for breaks; direct water away from the pavement to apply water only to the landscape; and select a smart WaterSense la-beled irrigation controller, which uses local weather conditions to determine when and how much to water your yard.

3. Go With a Pro: Irrigation professionals certified by a WaterSense labeled program can help you design, install, maintain or au-dit your irrigation system. Find a pro near you using WaterSense’s Directory of Certi-fied Professionals (at www.epa.gov/water-sense/findapro) to see if your system could distribute water more efficiently to maxi-mize its performance and maintain a healthy landscape without wasting water.

Visit WaterSense at www.epa.gov/water-sense to watch a video and learn more about how you-or a certified professional—can in-spect, connect, direct and select your way to a smarter system.

CHIEF CHRIS MCKINSTRY

Florida “Road Rage” Law

We’ve all been there; driving on a multi-lane roadway when traffic ahead slows. You don’t want to speed but you would like to at least do the speed limit. You pull over

into the left lane to pass only to meet another driver in the left lane who is driving slower than the speed limit and holding traffic back. It’s frustrating and, in some instances, dan-gerous.

A lot of people refer to the left lane as the “fast lane” but there is actually no such thing as a “fast lane”. There is however a passing lane and it’s the far left lane. It exists to al-low drivers who want to get around slower moving traffic to pass. The only reason for a driver to be in the left lane is to pass or to make a left turn. Once you have passed the slower traffic, you should move, as soon as it is safe to do so, back into the right hand lane so that others may pass.

Some drivers have the feeling that, “As long as I’m doing the speed limit, I have a right to be in the left lane and anyone who wants to pass me is speeding and needs to slow down.” That’s a dangerous attitude to

have. A recent study of road rage from Expedia

revealed that left lane drivers who are driv-ing below the speed limit are the third top reason to get other drivers’ blood boiling, right after texting while driving and tailgat-ing. Don’t worry texting is still number one.

“SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT.” Signs like this and its closely related cousin (“KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS”) are posted on highways around the country. The messages might seem like mere suggestions to drivers, but here in Florida it is the law. Florida State Statute 316.081 makes it a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation for any driver to dawdle in the left lane proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic and who doesn’t get out of the way of approaching vehicles.

This law is designed to cut down on dan-

gerous, aggressive driving and road rage in-cidents. The goal of this law is to reserve the left lane for faster cars, so that traffic flows smoothly and vehicles have no need to rap-idly switch lanes left and right to pass.

The Lady Lake Police Department wants to remind you there are some measures you can take to keep this from happening to you. The easiest adjustment to make is to never drive in the left lane of traffic unless you are passing someone or are planning to exit or turn left within a mile or less. If you are in the left lane, pay extra attention to your rear view mirror; and move over to the right lane if you see a vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed from behind.

Finally, don’t put yourself in a position to get rear-ended. You can get yourself hurt or killed. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

(NAPSI)—According to the U.S. Travel Association, the average American worker leaves nearly five paid vacation days on the table—almost an entire week of time that could be spent with family and friends or investing in yourself.

To help you get yourself set to get away, consider these five tips:

• Save money and avoid crowds by trav-eling in the so-called “shoulder season,” generally fall and spring in Europe and the Caribbean.

• What’s trending in travel is having adventures. Reports the ABTA, a leading travel association, an increasing number of people look for a challenge vacation, such as hot air ballooning in Turkey or white-water rafting in Spain.

• Consider renting an apartment or house rather than a hotel room. This can be par-ticularly handy—and possibly less expen-sive—if you need a lot of space for a large family.

• Pack smart. The general rule is af-ter you’ve packed up the least you think you’ll need, take out one item. Basically, try to include clothes that can be mixed and matched.

• Get good guides. An all-new series of travel books has been designed to help peo-ple quickly pinpoint their locations at their destination cities and discover the best at-tractions in the vicinity.

This Michelin’s Map & Guide series consists of concise pocket-size guides that pack a lot of information into 25 pages. The books are organized by neighborhoods, with each represented by a single-fold, easy-to-read, atlas-quality map indexed to orient travelers to their immediate surroundings and what they can enjoy nearby. A major French tire maker, Michelin has been mak-ing travel guides since 1900.

The books include “must-see” attrac-tions, Michelin travel editors’ favorites, notable restaurants, cafés and bars, shop-ping and nightlife. They even suggest plac-es where you can just take a short break. They’re great quick reference guides for even the most spontaneous traveler.

Now at major booksellers are guides to Barcelona, London, New York, Paris, Rome and Venice.

ONE PERSON’S OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:For eons humans have drifted into eras of

hedonism and great civilizations have been destroyed. Humans need a code of morals to guide them to conciliation. Morality need not be religious. It can be social conduct, or cultural conduct, but it cannot be hedonistic

conduct.Humans have had enough time to learn,

what mattersWhen will humans learn what is good

for them, and what makes life worthwhile. Today it is money, sex, drugs, stuff, and mindlessness. This is an Era of the Educated Dolt.

Morals Matter. Manners Matter. Kind-ness Matters. Civility Matters.

Fairness Matters. I am looking high and low for any of these, but I am coming up empty.

How can this message be spread through-out the land?

D I L- - - - - - - -It’s Not Obama’s FaultDear Mr. Loury:In the April edition of Seniors Voice,

your front page comment regarding Presi-dent Obama aroused my interest. Had you, as a journalist, chosen to more even-handed, the following might have been added:

February 2009 October 2015Uninsured 16.1% 9.0%Unemployment Rate 8% 5.0%

Stock Market 7,365 7,910Annual Deficit - $1,400 billion -

$426 billionGDP Growth -2.8% 3.7%Consumer Confidence 25.3 97.6Combat Troops Deployed 186,300

9,937Yours truly,DH--------Hi D:First off I’m not a journalist and don’t

want to be one. I’m a publisher that is in search of the truth and some of what you sent does not take into consideration the average

income is down 25%. There are thousands of people that are unemployed that the bean counters are not counting, people who are on government checks, not state unemploy-ment. This administration has printed more money than anyone in the past to prop up the figures you so proudly display. Our national debt is higher today and has grown more in the last 7 years than all the past presidents put together in the history of this country. You’re right - I’m not even handed, I was not hard enough on him! BUT IT’S NOT HIS FAULT!

engaging more than 6,000 youth in STEM

subjects through demonstrations, work-

shops, talks and interviews, and as a mentor

for the FIRST Lego League and the Illinois

State Robotics Competition. Thad’s efforts

have earned scholarships for him and his

4-H club, helping him to continue his pas-

sion for connecting students to STEM while

he studies engineering at the Rose Hulman

Institute of Technology.

The YIA Awards honor 4-H’ers in four

categories—STEM, Citizenship, Agricul-

ture/Animal Science, and Healthy Liv-

ing—for gaining critical life skills through

their 4-H experiences and using those skills

to overcome challenges. The STEM Pillar

Award is sponsored by HughesNet, which

is a partner with 4-H to introduce American

youth to hands-on, community-based STEM

learning.

YIA honorees epitomize 4-H youth em-

powerment and leadership. Thad has created

learning resources to help younger peers see

that they can learn and excel in STEM sub-the next generation of scientists, building

future leaders and powering our country’s

competitiveness in the global economy.

“Thad’s dedication to sharing his gifts

with younger learners is exactly what the

U.S. needs to inspire the next generation of

peer mentors in STEM,” said Peter Gulla,

senior vice president marketing, Hughes

Network Systems. “It’s vital to convince

youth that learning science and technology

is important. Thad’s example delivers that

message by empowering youth with encour-

agement and real opportunities to develop

skills.”

jects. He developed an after-school program

through the University of Illinois Coopera-

tive Extension called Spinning Robots, in

which he taught 50 middle schoolers basic

circuitry and how to build simple robots.

Thad also created a curriculum to teach

middle schoolers principles of electricity,

from basic circuits to transistors.

“I found that there was one major dis-

couragement among students: ‘I don’t think

I can do that. I don’t know the stuff,’ “ Thad

said. “Simply replying ‘sure you can’ isn’t

very convincing. I set out to fix this miscon-

ception.”

4-H and HughesNet share a passion for

educating youth to develop into tomorrow’s

future leaders—a passion that Thad embod-

ies. Their partnership is aimed at inspiring

Chamber Breakfast

The chamber breakfast was sponsored by Project Legacy, a group of churches, civic organi-

zations and businesses that raise money for children’s issues. Please find above photo from the chamber breakfast with, on Left, Sidney Brock, Heritage Community Church (a member of

Project Legacy), Dr. Susan Moxley, Superintendent of Lake County Schools center, and Karen

Mercer of Brown & Brown Insurance, right.

Dr. Susan Moxley spoke to the attending crowd on “The State of our Local Education System

in Lake County as it Relates to the Northern Lake County Area”. Dr. Moxley also highlighted

the importance of partnerships among local businesses, civic groups, churches and individu-

als to help address the needs of children within their community while leveraging resources

to help meet those needs.

Lady Lake Chamber Expo

Letter from TNIn my opinion this bill that passed is ille-

gally. They have beat up, threatened, bribed everyone they think they can get away with to reach a vote to win Obamacare. Marco Rubio, a Florida candidate is starting a peti-tion to recall, throw out or what ever it is called when something illegal is put back right. Some 38 states are postering for a bat-tle over the healthcare bill, they will never quit, I continue to voice your and my opin-ion and vote accordingly in the next election

and every election in the future.I was sitting in my living room listening

to this great orator and the people who are surrounding him. The people who are not around him are the people that are going to pay the bill. If you listen to you can only think that he really believes he is right. Economist all over the world say his is wrong. Some of the top 5 employers say there will be thou-sands of their employees out of work. Cat-apillar says it will cost them

The attendance was good. A slow moving crowd flowed through the expo, never end-ing but then about closing time it stopped.

The vendors did well and no complaints from the visitors.

Progress Energy Speaker A New Philly Is Born

A philly born this morning on the Loury Ranch. Pictured is Lindsay Sykes holding her philly

just hours old. To be fair the light spots on the new philly is the sun coming through the trees,

but she is colorful and already likes people. The coldest or near coldest day of the year, 20

degrees at daylight she was found prancing in the pasture next to her mother.

“The Party of No”On November 18, 2009, Senate Major-

Secretary of Health and Human Servic-

the business people did not, but the thing that impressed me most was the jobs the building of

the new Nuc plants would bring to an area. The new Crystal River Plant would bring upwards

to 8,000 for approximately 8 years. You can just imagine what 20 Nuc plants would bring to

the US economy.

16th Annual Fishing Derby Tempers Flare with School Board MeetingMarion County School BoardBy Tom LouryI recently read an article that was in the

Ocala Star Banner, Thursday April 15, 2010 front page about Jackie Porter and the School Superintendent Yancey. If you look at the ar-ticle it is reported with Jackie Porter’s alle-ged file nd the story s presented l ke fe-deral court case. The interesting fact is there were no quotes from Jackie Porter and no remarks from her defending herself. It’s not because she refused to remark but in fact, she was never asked or interviewed for this story. That bothers me more than any of the following comments. I believe that everyone should have the right to defend themselves in print.

I feel somewhat responsible for some of the friction between the School Board and Jackie Porter. With the School Board, s elected offic ls, you would not h ve ex-

pected re ct on l ke th s. lected offic ls give up their privacy and are fair game for any questions that comes your way. Jackie Porter said she sent Mr. Yancey a personal email asking about a sensitive question. Was it his son-in-law that was promoted to an ad-ministrative job? If the question had been anawered it would have stopped right the-re. Somehow it was brought into the school

o rd meet ng nd tempers fl red. I s y -ckie Porter was elected to watch out for our t x doll r s well s s the rest of the chool Board.

To the editorAfter reading the article in the Orlando

Sentinel, March 10, entitled “Your Law-makers Aren’t Tightening Their Belts” I saw red. Could the members of Congress, and I mean both the Democrats and Republicans, be more out of touch with their constituents and the hardships they are facing? When federal lawmakers vote themselves a 5 per-cent increase while families are enduring job losses, home foreclosures, 2.56 million Flo-ridians on food stamps, the U.S. banks have had their sharpest decline in lending since 1942 and the worst economy that America has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s you know for sure that Congress is totally out to lunch. Foreclosures are up 6% over last year and the average unemploy-ment rate in Florida at 12.2 percent is worse than the national average at 9.7 percent. Osceola and Lake County have the highest

unemployment rates at 13.5 percent among Central Florida counties. Flagler County at 17.1 percent has the states highest unem-ployment rate. What jobs has the stimulus package that was passed last year created? As I see it, the only thing it has created is more and more government and increased our debt. In addition, we now have this huge health care bill that even those who voted for it don‘t know whats in it that everyone will have to pay for. Its time the members of Congress were in touch with their constitu-ents and the hardships they are facing, were made accountable for their actions or voted out of office.

Tallahassee, Fla.—In an effort to in-crease public awareness of the status of HIV in Florida, the Department of Health has launched a new HIV Data Center that clear-ly explains the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) information gathering and CDC’s deduplication processes. The new HIV Data Center, compounded with CDC’s recent re-port praising Florida’s HIV data program, demonstrates the Department of Health’s commitment to treating and preventing HIV in Florida.

“Fighting a terrible and complex disease, such as HIV, requires a multifaceted ap-proach that involves collecting and analyz-ing data, providing testing and linkage to treatment and a tremendous amount of edu-cation,” said Interim State Surgeon General Dr. Celeste Philip. “Florida has developed one of the nation’s most comprehensive HIV programs that addresses surveillance, education, prevention, counseling, test-ing, care and treatment. It is our goal that this webpage will serve as another tool to educate community leaders, our partners and our residents about the state of HIV in Florida.”

The new HIV Data Center, hosted on the front page of the department’s website, fea-tures:

The number of recorded cases of HIV in-fection in Florida from 2010 through 2014;

Information on CDC’s deduplication pro-cess;

The number of cases deduplicated by Florida;

The number of cases received from CDC to analyze for deduplication; and

Outlines the process by which a person who tests positive for HIV might be reflect-ed in multiple states’ data.

Through targeted outreach, the depart-ment brings together community partners to reach high-risk populations for the purpose of education and testing. The department has mobilized comprehensive and dynamic resources – such as our mobile health units that go into neighborhoods to talk about pre-vention and provide testing and counseling. By continuing to raise awareness, we can help educate a new generation about HIV/AIDS.

The department will continue to update the webpage as new data becomes available each month.

(NAPSI)—These days, it’s not enough for home cooks to be able to multitask—get all the elements of the meal on the table at the same time, while looking after family and career—they want their appliances to multitask, as well.

What’s WantedIn fact, according to a

recent Research Institute for Cooking & Kitchen Intelligence (RICKI) study, 12 percent of small-kitchen designers want combination appli-ances that can multitask, the most popular request after storage and cabinet solutions.

To meet both those needs, a number of appli-ances and other kitchen products come with help-ful built-in accessories that save space, help or-ganize, and make cook-ing at home easy whether you aspire to be a chef or you already are one.

ily road trip or shopping run can be more

comfortable for you, more fun for your pas-

sengers and safer for everyone. That’s be-

cause of all the exciting features you can

dividual content can be displayed on each

screen.

• The minivan has both USB and HDMI

ports for watching movies and charging de-

vices. No more run-down batteries.

Safety Sense

• Teenagers or others drive your van?

Fear not. Safe driving habits can be promot-

ed and driver distractions limited with the

Chrysler KeySense programmable key fob.

Using a four-digit security PIN programmed

via the touch screen, an assigned key fob

limits speed and audio volume and mutes

the audio until front seat belts are buckled.

• 9-1-1 and Assist Buttons connect to emergency service providers, roadside as-

sistance dispatchers and vehicle information

specialists.

• Pacifica owners can get a text message whenever the vehicle’s alarm is triggered.

• Finally, for a safer planet, you can get

the vehicle as a hybrid, running on both gas-

oline and electricity.

Hot Accessories For

The Contemporary Cook

single, convenient package.

From ILVE Appliances comes a number

of exclusive built-in features as well as op-

tional accessories made to fit just right on the company’s cooktop surfaces to provide

beauty, style and performance.

So, how can these range accessories help

you multitask?

Consider this:Oblong or fish burners (unique to ILVE)

can be used to evenly heat long poachers and

stockpots or several smaller pots at once.

Simmer settings for soups, sauces and

melting chocolate can be achieved with a

simmer plate and the inner flame of a triple-ring burner. The plate can accommodate just about any size pan.

Full-size or half-size stainless steel grid-

dles conveniently cook anything from eggs

to burgers—just like a professional chef. The griddle is fully removable for easy cleanup.

A griddle-top dome will also help with that

by preventing grease splatters. As a bonus, it

holds in moisture for a more flavorful meal.Indulge your taste for ethnic specialties

with a wok ring that goes directly over the

grate to evenly distribute the heat and an

optional barbecue grill that allows for juicy grilled food all year long.

To steam your vegetables and shellfish to just the right texture, consider a steamer top that sits right on top of the griddle. Just add

a little water and the perforated insert. You

can even chop these vegetables right on your

range top using the fitted cutting board.A French top is a unique multi-ringed flat

surface that can provide a high heat in the

center and a lower heat on the outer perim-

eter. It offers the aspiring chef a great deal of

control for sauces.

All these accessories are incorporated in

the ILVE range, which makes it one of the

best multitasking appliances available.

ILVE and Verona Italian-crafted ranges,

ovens, cooktops and ventilation systems are

internationally recognized for their innova-

tive cooking products. Visit www.euroche-

fusa.com for a chance to see videos of the

accessories in action.
