THE
-Walsh County Veterans Service Office
Over the past few months, I have had many people pick up applications
from my office in hopes of being a part of the next WDAY Honor Flight.
An official announcement for the next WDAY Honor Flight was made at
the RedHawks Jersey Day fimdraiser on Sunday, August 27. It is sched-
uled for Nov 5 and 6, 2017.
According to the article printed on the WDAY Honor Flight website,
letters will be going out to those invited to go on the trip. The article,
posted by Tracy Briggs, stated that they would love to take absolutely
everyone who applies as soon as they apply; however, there is a waiting
list to go on the trip. Flyers are chosen based both on dates of military
service and date of application. (For example: WWII vets are put ahead
of Korean War Vets and Korean War Vets are put ahead ofViemam vets.)
It is not necessary to have served overseas or in the wars themselves. If
you served in the eras you qualify. Special conditions are made for vet-
erans who have terminal illnesses. After dates of service, flyers are se-
lected based upon date the application is received.
Organizers urge veterans who have not applied to get your application
in to be considered for future flights.
A pre-flight meeting will be held for veterans going on this trip. Vet-
erans are encouraged to come or send' ~meone to come on their behalf
to receive some valuable information about the November trip. Dates and
location for the pre-flight meeting will be included in the letter sent out
to those scheduled for the trip.
To find an application online, please visit http://wdayhonorflight.areav-
oices.corn/to-apply/application/
Or to have one mailed out to you, you may contact the Welsh County
Veterans Service Office at 352-5030. Veterans and their families may also
call the WDAY Honor Flight organizers directly at (218) 779-7834 to ask
questions or to have an application sent to you. Thank you for your serv-
ice.

Dear Savvy Senior,
My wife and I arc both in our late
sixties and are looking to buy a new
car. Can you recommend some
good resources that can help us eval-
uate and choose a good car for old-
er drivers ?
Car Shoppers
/~i,Dear Shoppers,
~!~:~;With more than 40 million li,
:eensed drivers in the United States
age 65 and older, many automakers
today are designing certain vehicles
that are friendlier for older drivers.
But what makes a good car for sen-
iors? For many, top priorities include
a vehicle that's easy to get into and
out of, easy to adjust for fit and com-
fort, easy to operate and see out of,
as well as reliable, safe and a good
value.
To help you narrow your vehicle
choices, Consumer Reports and the
American Automobile Association
(AAA) offer some great information
and tools to assist you.
CR Best Cars
Consumer Reports recently put
out a top 25 ranking of new cars for
senior drivers. Each vehicle on their
list offers excellent or very good rat-
ings on reliability, safety, road-test
performance and owner satisfaction.
And, they offer a variety of senior-
friendly features that are extremely
important to older divers, like:
• Easy front-seat access: Vehicles
with low door thresholds, wider door
openings, and step-in heights that re-
duce the need for ducking or climb-
ing, make getting into and out of a
car easier for those with physical
limitations.
• Good visibility: Being able to
see well out of the from, sides, and
back of a vehicle for tall, medium,
and shorter drivers.
• Simplified controls: Easy-to-
read gauges and simplified/intu-
itive controls for changing the radio,
shifting gears, and adjusting the
heating and cooling ]s a high pI~0~-
~y among~oidcr dri~.ers~ ~ i~3~~
Bright headlights: Pow~l
headlights can make driving at
night easier for people with de-
creasing or compromised vision.
They also weighed in extra safe-
ty features (standard or optional) like
a backup camera, automatic emer-
gency braking, forward-collision
warning and blind-spot warning.
Their picks include a variety of
compact and midsized sedans and
SUVs, two minivans and a station
wagon fi'om seven different au-
tomakers. Here's their top 25 rank-
ing, starting with one through 25:
Subaru Forester; Subaru Outback;
Kia Soul; Subaru Legacy; Kia
Sportage; Toyota Highlander; Toy-
ota Prins V; Toyota RAV4; Honda
Odyssey; Nissan Rogue; Honda
Accord; Ford C-Max Hybrid;
Hyundai Sonata; Toyota Camry;
Subaru Crosstrek; Toyota Sienna;
Honda CR-V; Honda Pilot; Kia
Forte; Ford Escape; Toyota Corol-
la; Kia Sorento; Ford Flex; Hyundai
Santa Fe; Hyundai Tucson.
