STAY SHARP FOR SAFE DRIVING GOOD VISION
As you probably already know, the use of vision is key to all aspects of driving, but you may not realize how complex vision actually is. Good far and near vision is needed to identify road hazards, read signs and view your dashboard. Visual acuity is how clearly or accurately you can see. There are many conditions that affect visual acuity, especially as we age. Here are a few vision conditions to keep an eye out for: Color Blindness & Cataracts—may cause problems when identifying traffic signals or brake lights of other cars while driving. • Decreased Contrast Sensitivity —the visual ability to see objects that are not outlined clearly or do not stand out from their background. • Difficulty seeing pedestrians and road signs, especially in poorly lit roads or in fog. • Decreased Useful Field of View —refers to the amount of visual information that can be processed in a brief glance using both eyes. • Ability to process information slows with age, particularly for situations inwhich the environment is very complex, e.g., a busy roadway. • Decreased Depth Perception & Peripheral Vision — the ability to judge the distance of objects in relation to ourselves and the ability to see outside your immediate field of view. - Both tend to decrease with age and are essential in everyday driving situations, such as judging the distance and speed of approaching cars when merging or seeing a car approaching you from either side. - With that in mind, it is incredibly important to get regular eye exams to keep you sharp and ready for the road.

BRAIN HEALTH Over time, we can lose the ability to quickly assess and react appropriately to the demands of driving. From something as simple as fatigue to memory loss to something as complex as Alzheimer’s, our brain health and overall mental well-being are crucial to the task of driving. Your ability to carry out the following processes should be gauged in assessing your driving fitness: • Attention and reaction time • Concentration (paying attention to changes in your driving environment) • Ability to process information quickly and accurately • Problem-solving skills (how to get help if you have a flat tire) • Memory (how to get to the doctor’s office) Stimulate your brain by trying new activities. Try testing your memory and problem-solving skills; it can be something as simple as taking a new route to a familiar location. A study by the National Institute of Health recently found that people who had cognitive training for memory, reasoning or speed of processing had 50% fewer car accidents than those in the control group.
STAY FOCUSED Driving is a demanding activity that requires your full attention to many things at the same time. Eliminate distractions inside the vehicle and minimize activities that require you to take your eyes off the road or take both hands off the wheel, especially in heavy traffic. • Put your cellphone on silent and tuck it away so you are not tempted to answer a text or phone call while driving. • Try presetting your radio with your favorite radio stations—you won’t have to look away from the road to change the station. • Refrain from eating, drinking and smoking while driving. These important tips will keep you sharp and ready to drive! Driving is demanding, so take measures to ensure good vision, brain health, and reduce distractions while on the road.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13 WARLIGHT by Michael Ondaatje
The internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient has written a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement. In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself - shadowed and luminous at once - we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13 THE IMMORTALISTS By Chole Benjamin
This new novel by Chloe Benjamin, is devoted to the awareness of life and its inherent sorrow, and the different ways human beings deal with it. Benjamin’s characters are more aware of their death than most people. It is a sweeping book of remarkable ambition and depth which probes the line between destiny and choice, reality and illusion, this world and the next. It is a deeply moving testament to the power of story, the nature of belief, and the unrelenting pull of familial bonds.

In 2006 Wolinsky cofound- ed with performance artists Alicia, Kelly and Sara Casilio (identical triplets), the collab- orative TRIIIBE. Their photo- graphs, social commentary and identity tableaus, are prized by private and corpo- rate collectors.
