What is “Right to Repair” Legislation About? When election time comes around, there are always issues in addition to just

the presidential election. One important one could be “Right to Repair”

legislation. “Right To Repair” would give every mechanic access to the

same information and tools that dealers have access to. So you can get your

car serviced where you want to, and save hundreds of dollars. No longer will

independent technicians need to purchase expensive tools and software for

cars they service only a few times a year. Instead, car owners and

independent technicians will have up-to-date access to repair and diagnostic

information for all makes and models of vehicles on the road using a

universal interface system. The system would be accessible to anyone for a

daily, weekly, monthly or yearly subscription. It’s as easy as downloading

an app on your smartphone. Cost savings for repairs can be passed along to

consumers. Right to Repair will ensure that consumers always have a choice

in where to service their vehicles. And when consumers choose

independent repair shops over the big dealerships, they can save an

average of $300-$500 each year. If it’s not an issue in this election it will

be coming soon, because this is legislation that can save you a lot of money!

Bobbing for Apples Has a Romantic Side

without using their hands would be the first to marry.

If the bobber lucked out and caught an apple on the first try, it meant that

they would experience true love, while those who got an apple after many

tries would be fickle in their romantic endeavors. Another myth was that if

a girl put her bobbed apple under her pillow on Halloween night, she

would dream about her future husband. Oooo-la-la!

In ancient times, the apple was viewed as a sacred fruit

that could be used to predict the future. Bobbing for

apples is one of the traditional games used for fortune-

telling on Halloween night. It was believed that the first

person to pluck an apple from the water-filled bucket

The Funny Bone Watching TV …

Bob was watching the

evening news with Tim, his

6 year old son. The

newscaster came on and said,

“Two Brazilian men die in

skydiving accident...”

Tim immediately started

crying and between sobs

said, “Dad, that’s horrible!

What are we gonna do?”

Confused, Bob said, “Yes, it

is horrible. But they were

skydiving, and there is

always risk involved with

that.”

Tim, sobbing more, asked

“How many is a

Brazilian???”

LOOK OUT For those little ghosts and goblins! We’ve

5 Tips for the Health Conscious Halloween Parent

1. Before kids go trick-or-treating, try to serve a healthy meal so they're not

hungry when the candy starts coming in.

2. Know how much candy your child has collected and store it somewhere

other than your child's room.

3. Consider buying back some or all of the remaining Halloween candy.

This acknowledges the candy belongs to your child and provides a treat

in the form of a little spending money.

4. Be a role model by eating Halloween candy in moderation yourself.

5. To help avoid temptation, buy your candy at the last minute and get rid

of any leftovers.

The Funny Bone

A Sea Monster? Unexplained Underwater Noise During the Cold War, the United States Navy erected a vast array of

underwater listening devices in order to detect and track Soviet nuclear

submarines. These hydrophones were placed at roughly 3,000 mile

intervals in the deep layer of water known as the deep sound channel,

where cold temperatures and high pressures allow sound waves to

propagate great distances.

Now, the array is used to track many fascinating undersea events, such

as whale migrations, earthquakes, ocean currents, volcanic activity and

the shifting of Antarctic ice. But one sound captured by the sensitive

hydrophones has scientists puzzled. The unexplainable sound was

detected several times during the summer of 1997, originating off the

South American southwest coast at about 50° S 100° W. Each time that

it was captured the ultra-low frequency sound rose rapidly in frequency

over about one minute, and had sufficient amplitude to be heard on

multiple sensors from over 3,000 miles away. Perplexed researchers,

unable to identify any possible source for the sound, dubbed it “The

Bloop.”

The sound shares many characteristics

with those emanated from biological

creatures, in fact it fits those parameters

so closely that a large number of

researchers are convinced that its origin is animal. But in order for an

aquatic animal to emit a sound that can travel over 3,000 miles though

Earth’s noisy oceans, scientists say that it would need an incredibly

large noise-making apparatus, one much bigger than that of the blue

whale!

Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said,

"Never take candy from strangers." And then they dressed

me up and said, "Go beg for it." I didn’t know what to do!

I’d knock on people’s doors and go,

"Trick or treat." "No thank you." ~ Rita Rudner

October Customer of the Month: Don Meminger

Don Meminger hails from Rochester, NY but three years ago, he moved to Venice, FL after marrying his lovely wife, Mary. He and Mary now live in Pennington Place Estates with their large Irish setter, Johann Sebastian.

Don has a long history with music. He was the Director of Music for the Diocese of Rochester for over 15 years and at one point was in charge of 96 churches. He has played the organ for Catholic churches for over 68 years. Although retired, he still practices the organ daily and substitutes as an organist in various Catholic churches in this area.

“I met Mary and her late husband, Dick, in Rochester,” Don said. “They both sang in one of my church choirs.”

Mary and Dick eventually moved to Venice, but Mary kept in touch with Don each year through Christmas cards.

“Eight years ago I got a Christmas card from Mary and in it she told me that Dick had been diagnosed with cancer,” Don said. “She knew I would understand because I had already lost two wives to cancer.”

Mary and Don began communicating through emails and phone calls and when Dick passed away in 2007 Mary called to let Don know.

“We kept in contact with phone calls for over a year and our phone bills got outrageously high,” Don said. “When the monthly bill reached $780, we realized that we were meant to be.”

Don and Mary were married in Rochester, NY in June of 2009 and Don, Johann and Don’s grand piano moved to Venice that July. Between the two of them, they now have 11 children and 17 grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Don, Mary and Johann manage to keep active with daily walks and weekly visits to various assisted living and nursing care facilities.

Twelve-year-old Johann is a very special dog. He is a beautiful guide dog who has been insured and licensed by Bright & Beautiful Inc.

He brings great joy to others when he and Don visit the residents at Sunset Lake, Pinebrook Care & Rehab Center, Jacaranda Trace and even Tidewell Hospice.

Don has been a loyal customer of 1 Stop Car & Truck Repair since moving to Venice in 2009. He appreciates the fair prices, honesty and immediate response that he receives from 1 Stop.

“When I called yesterday and said, ‘The Buick won’t start’, John came out with no hesitation and looked at my car, checking the battery with a jump

pack,” Don said. “The guys at 1 Stop always responded immediately.”

“When I told John, ‘You have to keep my van running for at least another 40,000 miles,’ John told me it would be no problem,” Don said. “That’s why I’ve been a 1 Stop customer for 3 years now.”
