BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI King Features Syndicate, Inc. Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla with 60,000 miles. I love the car. It’s never given me any problems, except this one: It has an annoying vibration that occurs exclusively when I’m stopped with the brake engaged. If I’m stopped at a light and I put the car in park, the vibration goes away. My mechanic of more than 36 years (he’s excellent) is stumped. He’s replaced two motor mounts that he thought were causing the problem. When the vibration didn’t go away, he replaced a third motor mount. But it’s still vibrating. Any thoughts on what’s causing this and how to fix it? -- Jillian TOM: The motor mount was a good guess. Usually it’s the big one in front that breaks and causes this kind of vi- bration. RAY: But he’s replaced all three motor mounts now. So I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the motor mounts are not the problem. TOM: That’s why you wrote to us, Jillian -- for that kind of keen analysis, right? RAY: Actually, I’m guessing you have the same problem that we saw recently in the shop. TOM: It also was a Corolla. Every- thing under the sun had been tried to stop it from vibrating. RAY: I had the car out for a test drive, and I was stopped at a light. The thing was shaking and buzzing, and for some reason, I decided to pop the hood release. And the vibration stopped. TOM: Turned out the hood was vi- brating. RAY: There are two little “bumpers” that stick up from the radiator support under the hood. Their job is to push up against the underside of the hood when it’s closed and keep it from vibrating. I guess they had worn down, and they weren’t doing their job anymore. TOM: They’re actually adjustable, so all we had to do was back them out a few turns, close the hood and voila! We charged the lady 450 bucks and gave her the car back. RAY: No, it was a five-minute job. So we charged her only $425. But I’m guessing that’s what’s wrong with your car, Jillian. Have your mechanic check it out, and let us know. ——— What is the most cost-effective way to buy a car?

Videos Increase Healthcare WorkForce Awareness Six teams of South Dakota high school stu- dents earned cash prizes with their originality in telling the story of the state’s healthcare work- force shortage and the pro- motion of those careers. Their videos will be posted online in an effort to edu- cate their peers about the state’s workforce needs and the possibilities avail- able with healthcare ca- reers. The contest is spon- sored by the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations, the South Dakota Healthcare Work- force Center and Yankton Rural AHEC. Entries fo- cused on one of two cate- gories: healthcare workforce shortage in South Dakota or the promo- tion of healthcare careers. Winners in the work- force shortage category are: • First — Aberdeen team of: Amber Bellikka, Jessica Foster, Shayle Finnesand, Chance Glaser, Carly Hu- bert, Paige Hoffmann, Emily Miller, Alexis Rath, Brandon Ronning, Hailey Sumption and Kaitlyn Weisenburger; • Second — Madison team of: Brendon Klopf and Erin LeMair; • Third — Highmore team of Tristan Ashdown, Sydney Cowan, Brady LaM- ont, Bennett Peterson and McKenzee Zilverberg. Winners in the career promotion category are: • First — Beresford team of Maddie Antonson, Megan Dahlin, Hannah Hep- ner and Tiffany Hoffman; • Second — Beresford team of Shelby Bickett, Lexi DeLay, Devin Erlandson and Arianna Lyle; • Third — Beresford team of Alexandra Johnsen, Bailey Nelson, Abigail Wiebers and Christian Wil- son. Videos featured careers such as nursing, childlife specialists along with phys- ical therapy. One team took a documentary approach to the healthcare workforce shortage and others a more humorous delivery to get their peers’ attention. The contest aims to bring a greater awareness to high school students, their peers and others about the demand for healthcare workers in the state. “The students’ work helps us to educate the public and to increase awareness of the need for healthcare workers in our state,” said Sandy Viau- Williams, executive director of Yankton Rural AHEC. Videos were judged on four criteria: educational value, entertainment value, originality and content. Videos were less than 5 minutes in length. They are posted at www.yrahec.org. First place team members in both categories shared a $750 prize, second place finishers received $500 and third, $250. In the decade leading up to 2020, more than 8,000 new healthcare workers will be needed in South Dakota. There will be a 17 percent decrease in high school graduates between 2002 and 2018. By the year 2025, the number of elderly in South Dakota will double. This creates a challenging situation to meet potential growing demand with a de- clining supply of workers.
