hicles for older drivers? My wife Another excellent resource that
and I are both in our Seventies and can help you chose a vehicle that
are looking to purchase a new auto: meets your needs is the American
mobile but could use some help
choosing one that's age friendly.
What can you tell us? Car Shoppers
Dear Shoppers, .- ; ........
While there ara rumber of
websites that rate new vehicles for
older drivers, one of the most cred-
ible is Edmunds.com, a topLrated
online resource for automotive re-
search information.
For 2014, they developed a list
of "top 10 vehicles for seniors"
based on user'friendly features that
help compensate for many of the
physical changes - like diminished
vision, arthritis, and range of mo-
tion loss - that can come with aging.
But before we get to the list, here
is a rundown of different features
that are available on many new ve-
hicles today and how they can help
with various age-related physical
problems So depending on what
ails y'ou or your wife, here's what to
look for.
Knee, hip or leg problems: For
comfort, a better fit, and easier
entry and exit, look for vehicles that
have six-way adjustable power
seats that move the seat forward and
backward, up and down, and the
seat-back forward and backward.
Also look for low door thresholds
and seat heights that don't, require
'too much bending or climbing to
get into. Leather or faux leather
seats are also easier to slide in and
out of than cloth seats•
Limited upper bddy range of mo-
tion: If you have difficulty looking
over your shoulder to back up or
merge into traffic, look for vehicles
with a 10xge rear window for better
visibility, wide-angle mirrors which
can minimize blind spots, back-up
cameras, active parallel park assis-
tance, and blind-spot warning sys-
tems that alert you to objects in the
way. Also, for comfort and fit, con-
sider vehicles that have a tilt and
telescoping steering wheel, ad-
justable seatbelts, and heated seats
with lumbar support.
ArthritiC hands: To help with
difficult and painful gripping and
turning problems, features that can
help include a keyless entry and a
push-button ignition, a thicker
steering wheel, power mirrors and
seats, and larger dashboard con-
trols. And in SUVs and crossovers,
an automatic tailgate closer can be
a real bonus•
Diminished vision: Look for ve-
hicles with larger instrument panels
and dashboard controls with con-
trasting text that's easier to see. And
those with sensitivity to glare will
benefit from extendable sun visors,
auto-dimming rearview mirror and
glare reducing side mirrors.
Short and/or overweight: Look
for six-way adjustable seats, ad-
justable foot pedals and a tilt-and-
telescoping steering wheel.

State issues blue-green algae advisory
North Dakota in late summer, but it
only takes a few hot days to cause
the overwintering organisms to be-
come active and bloom• Blue-green
algae normally can be found in
many lakes and pasture watering
holes in the state. Under certain con-
ditions, the blue-green algae can
grow into blooms and produce tox-
ins.
According to the state health de-
partment, blue-green algae blooms
can produce poisonous cyanotoxins.
These toxins have no known anti-
dotes. P6bple, livestock or other an-
imals that swallow water containing
a harmful algae bloom can become
ill. If livestock producers suspect
blue-green algae toxicosis, they
should contact their veterinarian.
The Department of Health and
the Department of Agriculture - An-
imal Health Division, recommend
these steps to avoid exposure to
cyanotoxius: ,
- Don't swim, water ski or boat in
BISMARCK - The North Dakota
Department of Agriculture - Animal
Health Division, in conjunction with
the .North Dakota Department of
Health, are advising the public to
protect livestock and pets from com-
ing in contact with or swallowing
blue-green algae, also known as
cyan0bacteria.
"We are aware of cattle deaths in
Sheridan County wher algae was
visible on the water surface where
cattle were drinking," Agriculture
Commissioner Doug Goehring said.
"Livestock producers should consult
with their private veterinarians or
county agents to see if treatment of
water sources or tanks is necessary."
Goehring said the toxin hasn't
been confirmed yet, but the veteri-
nary practitioner investigating the
case said the clinical signs exhibited
by the cattle were consistent with
blue-green algae toxicosis.
The advisory is to remind people
these blooms are more common in
