PT Cruiser Air Conditioning Questions/Problems
beckert1 Posts: 1Ok I was really sceptical about this but when the air con on our 2006 PT Cruiser (bought in 2008 ex demo with only 27,000 currently on the clock) went. Just as summer kicked in and 2 weeks before Xmas, we didn't want to take it in for fixing not knowing how many hundreds it would cost.
So decided to give this paperclip test a go yesterday... 5 minutes later, air con back on. Well worth giving this a go. Thanks so much for posting it!

shobudsteelman Posts: 7Have been meaning to get back on here for weeks, since I first posted here my earlier concerns about the truth of a cutoff valve underneath the low pressure cut off switch. In my search for an answer, I learned that this is not only the low pressure cutoff switch but the CYCLING SWITCH as well. Once I had tried the paperclip test and had my air conditioner up and running in seconds, I knew this switch was the problem. As a backyard mechanic with 38 years experience, I was very concerned about whether there actually was a cutoff valve beneath this switch or not on the 2007 year model. I bought a new low pressure/cycling switch at the local auto parts store for around $17 and him-hawed around for several more days, all the while using the paperclip to keep my air conditioner running (something that I and other knowledgeable people would not recommend doing as a semi-permanent or permanent fix, but this vehicle is usually used sporadically, and I knew that my Freon level was fine as there had been no problems immediately prior to this switch going bad). One day, rather frustrated, I happened into a recently opened repair shop in our small town, popped out of my car and asked the very young mechanic headed my way if he had time to answer a question for me. I popped the hood and showed him the new switch and asked if in fact there was a cutoff valve underneath. To which he replied yes, and offered to put the new valve in for me for $5. Can you believe it? The dealership had quoted me a price of $225 to do the same thing only they insisted the system would have to evacuated of Freon and recovered, the switch replaced, and the Freon put back in the system, AT WHICH TIME, they would also top off my Freon level. I gladly paid the $75 diagnostic fee that day, but had no access to the amount of money, real or plastic, that they were wanting to charge me. At any rate I now can attest under oath that there IS a Schrader valve underneath the low pressure cut off switch located on the silver canister mounted to the firewall on the 2007 PT Cruiser, and for a grand total cost of $17 and less than five minutes work, ANYONE can make this repair! See the picture I posted on my Facebook wall: firstname.lastname@example.com for the proof!
shobudsteelman Posts: 7Here is the url for the picture of the Schrader valve underneath the low pressure cutoff/cycling switch on the 2007 PT Cruiser. No one should be afraid of attempting this repair given this proof that such a valve exists:

bthompson40207 Posts: 62The LPS is the Low Pressure Switch that cycles the A/C compressor on and off during normal operation. In the case of the PT Cruiser and other Chrysler vehicles, it also enables the low-speed radiator fan (replacing the fan is a frequent mistake). It is located atop the accumulator (firewall, passenger side). It is easily accessible and replaceable. Carefully unclip the connector and test compressor engagement with a paperclip. You can get the Sentech LPS at AutoZone (etc.) for under $20. No hose, vacuum, or freon required. The LPS is screwed onto a valve fitting to prevent loss of freon gas (just unscrew and re-attach quickly).
shobudsteelman Posts: 7Dave
The LPS stands for Low Pressure Switch, which, on the PT Cruiser is one and the same with the air conditioner cycling switch (a nice tidbit of information to know since some mechanics as well as auto part store clerks refer to by the first and others by the second, leading you to believe there are TWO different switches). It is mounted atop a silver-colored metal canister which is attached to the firewall on the passenger side of the vehicle. -
misselissa21 Posts: 1I have a 2007 PT Cruiser and 2 or 3 years ago the A/C stopped blowing cold air unless I was driving. It would blow hot air and make the engine sputter when stopped at a light or stop sign, or when idling. Within the past few months it started gurgling when parked. Then, yesterday, it started blowing smelly smoke out of the vents, so I turned it off and haven't turned it back on. Now, it is dumping hot liquid into the drivers side of the car burning my feet when I am driving. It leaks more liquid as the car gets hotter, and when I make a right turn. It smells awful, and is filling my floorboard with liquid. The engine is not overheating, and I checked the fluids in everything I could find under the hood, but I am not exactly car savvy. I know it has something to do with the A/C, but where do I start?
Thank you,
I took a picture of where it's dripping/pouring from, but there is nothing there that looks like it has a leak. -
bronzedart Posts: 1We own a '04 pt, the air is blowing warm. The compressor isn't working, I tried the paperclip to jump the cycle switch and it came on but still warm. Replaced the switch but it still doesn't come on unless I jump the connection, and still warm. I noticed the ac control fan switch inside the car doesn't light up blue when you turn it to the cool settings also, it does on the white side. Any help out there? Also I don't have a lower side port in my line to recharge it as pictured online and in the book, help?

cevans3901 Posts: 1Hi, I have a 2007 Pt Cruiser. Replaced the fan last year, and had no more problems for several months. Once when I turned it on it blew hot air only and compressor wouldn't come on. First time in the spring, it worked fine and was ice cold, but when I turned it on again, and after many attempts, compressor won't come on. Freon is full. Any suggestions?
bthompson40207 Posts: 62
ptcruzr Posts: 4Here is what I have checked so far:
low pressure fuse - ok
Freon level - ok
new low pressure relay installed
Compresser belt - ok
High pressure fan works when radiator is hot. But the air conditioner still does not work. We added coolant and have looked all over and see no reason why the fan is not working when air conditioner is on. There seems to be little if any cool air coming from the vents, however, the weather has been cool. When the a/c is turned on, the car seems to surge when idling but as yet has not stalled. When the a/c is turned off, no problem. We are wondering what to check next prior to simply assuming that it is the fan. Is there a way to check the compressor? What about hoses or switches or anything we may have missed. Thanks for any help. -
jkfl Posts: 4I don't know much about this stuff at all... but I can tell you I have a 2003 and have had to replace the coolant fan TWICE. I also ended up having the compressor, evaporator & dryer replaced but the air still didn't blow cold ($1000+). THEN they "tried" to tell me I needed a new condenser as well, but another mechanic figured out the inside/outside "door" (i.e. you can switch back & forth) was stuck only bringing outside air in. It took a few minutes to fix that and I was good to go (saved me $400)! Now I'm dealing with the motor mounts needing to be replaced AGAIN. The car shakes like hell but there's no way I can afford this repair. I would NEVER have purchased this car had I known the cost of upkeep. Good luck!
bthompson40207 Posts: 62
bthompson40207 Posts: 62The paperclip test does one of two things: it verifies the LPS as a culprit, or, it indicates another source of the problem. By using the paperclip to short out the LPS connector cable contacts, the low-speed radiator fan should activate. This must happen for the A/C to function. If the paperclip is properly shorting out the contacts in the LPS connector cable and the low-speed radiator is still not running then there is a good chance that the fan, relay, or fan cable is defective (assuming a good fuse). If those things are known good, then there is a problem in the compressor clutch engagement (assuming that the original issues was non-engagement).
ptcruzr Posts: 4If we turn on the air conditioner and the LPS is working, then should the low speed fan be running?
If we short out the LPS connector cable contacts(with the paper clip), does that assume that the LPS is not working even though it appeared to be working with the ohmmeter which showed continuity? Is there another switch, fuse, or cable that might be defective?
We have checked the following and determined that they are working:
COmpressor belt, fuse for low speed relay, freon level, low speed relay, high speed radiator fan (or at least the fan came on when the radiator was hot), low pressure switch (by ohmeter test).
Is there an easy way to find out if the clutch is engaged or not without putting the car up on lifts? -
rbail Posts: 1Melissa...does it smell sweet? If so, it's more than likely antifreeze. Can you find out what color? My 07 has red colored coolant. Also, most AC systems won't be pouring fluid. My 13 years of being a Ford Technician tells me you have a heater core thats bad. Hope this may help you out some. Randy Bailey
johngee3 Posts: 2Allow me to perceive you as somewhat of an authority. My P/T overheated twice, with the 1st time being low coolant and the 2nd time they replaced the fan. NOW it runs in idle for as long as 45 minutes with the needle in the normal position and (so far) I've been able to drive 12 miles without the needle moving UNTIL I switch on the AC and it goes up again until I turn off the AC. Help!
bthompson40207 Posts: 62Which of the two fans was replaced? The low-speed fan is a MUST for A/C - no low-speed fan = no A/C. The high-speed fan will run independently of the A/C and the low-speed fan. Secondly, if the LPS is "stuck" in the closed position (ON) the compressor will over compress and over-heat the condenser; causing the radiator to over-heat.

bpupic Posts: 1My PT 2.4 (2003) has the following problem: in the past 20 days it leaked freon gas twice, which has been just filled in. Moreover, the A/C turns on even when the regular outside air cooling is on. Temperature of the car is always optimal and its control system indicates no error. What could be the problem???
wrosamond Posts: 1I have a 2004 PT Cruiser and the a/c unit has gone out 3 times. It seems to loose charge in "hot" weather and blows warm air. I have replaced a/c unit 3 times within last month. Seems like it over pressures and pops overpressure valve. It worked real good at first, but after the outside temp. got hot it blew warm air. A puff of vapor was seen when I stopped.

A lot of us out there haven't been lucky enough to land our dream job right out of school. As a matter of fact, several of us have been through quite a few jobs over the years. I know I've done everything from home health to library work, telemarketing to retail. I'm sure you've had a few job interviews from time to time as well. But after the questions they ask you... it makes you wonder why they ask certain questions!
There's something thematically appropriate about a movie telling the story of a butler who quietly influenced the United States taking the number one spot at the box office over its flashy, bigger rivals. Lee Daniels' 'The Butler' took multiplexes by storm this weekend, taking down last week's competition as well as a handful of seemingly strong newcomers.
New in theaters this week are a biopic about one of America's great innovators, the sequel to a surprise 2010 hit and an early Oscar hopeful with big-name cast.

Not everybody can go to work with a smile on his or her face. However, there are places in America where that actually is the case. CareerBliss.com recently teamed up with Forbes to compile a list of the happiest and unhappiest cities for workers
The national unemployment rate spiked following the 2008 financial crash, and it has remained stubbornly high ever since. Unfortunately, it has been even worse for returning American servicemembers. Today, though, Wal-Mart announced a plan to hire 100,000 veterans over the next five years.
With the job market being so tight, people are trying to do whatever they can to give themselves an edge — including having their tattoos removed.
One thing that every person is thinking about these days is gainful employment. I'm lucky to have a pretty good job as it is, to be honest. I don't know how to do anything else! But on my drive to work every day on 65 Highway, I see a lot of different places are hiring.

We were visiting Minneapolis and just happened across the Blackbird. What a great meal! The waitress was great and recommended some particulars. We had chicken and lemon grass potstickers that were delicious. Their "shave apple" salad with a white cheese, and a tarragon/curry vinaigrette was outstanding. I had rainbow trout that was prepared very well and our dessert was, again, way above average. The restaurant is a little tight on the seating but overall it is a great place for dinner.

Spoke to Todd from keg connection. He walked me thru the whole deal, was gentle with this noob, and gave reasonable advise. So far the experience with them has been great considering that customer service in this country has been in the toilet for years (definitely another thread and possibly another board) but I'm getting very good vibes from this place, and I will keep yall posted!
+1 I've place 2 major orders through KC and I have had good experiences both times.
I dealt with someone else (Ben) at KegConnection, they were even helpful after my order when I wanted to switch one of my connections to a Sankey connector.
Indeed a big thanks to Ben @ Keg Connection for being helpful. I wanted some customizations to one of their keg kits and they were most accommodating.
KgConnection rocks I have purchased kegs, hoses and any thing else that deals with kegs from Ben@KegConnection. Every time is enjoyable and there products are top notch in my opinion.
I agree great customer service
Also purchased from them, definitely a good decision!
Keg Connection is moving to a bigger building this week. Despite this both Todd and Ben have been pretty cool about passing on information etc.. I am very excited about my soon to be kegging setup.. bring my perlicks :P
Is EVERYONE getting a Kegerator for the holidays?? I just ordered my 2 faucet tower kit on Saturday with Perlick upgrades as well. -Craig
I ordered Friday morning, Todd said the order would be shipped today, Monday. Now Monday evening and.... No email, no order number, and the order has not shipped. Although their advise is spot on, during the next few weeks, I think they're disorganized a bit. If you need Kegs find another vendor until they set up their new place. I know it seems like a flip flop but its not. They're a great bunch of guys and their hearts are in the right place, but under the circumstances they just cant perform during the restructuring.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These are feminine and exactly what I was looking for when purchasing my Mehendi invitations. I was able to customize it the way I wanted and it turned out really great. My only regret is not ordering it on shiny or better paper. The paper it comes on works well, but it would have been even better getting it on a higher grade paper."
"Love everything about this card for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner; understated, but lovely in the ecru textured signature paper. I used the format exactly as suggested and listed the menu items that needed to be selected with the rsvp on the reverse. The complimentary designer review was wonderful for this, making that layout perfect for me. And to top it all off, the order arrived in much less time than stated. I couldn't be happier!"
"My Invite came out better then I expected. Great production, customer service and fast delivery! Thank you wedding paper divas."
"Nice quality.glad that I opted for the return address printing. Perfect for the family and friends party before the big event!"
"I ordered this invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner and I am very happy with the finished product. This was actually my 3rd design pick, but when I ordered samples (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) it moved up to first. I customized by dropping the couple's last names and enlarging all the type. I changed to the usual upper/lower cases as I don't like all caps. The process of customizing, ordering and proofing was very easy and there were no glitches. The price was good and I even saved a few bucks by going through the Costco website. The whole on-line experience was much easier and more efficient than leafing through sample books. And my future daughter-in-law loves it!"

Visa, MasterCard and major banks agreed Friday to pay at least $6 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by retailers.
A banking industry trade group said the settlement would allow stores to charge customers more to pay with a credit card.
Lawyers involved in the case called it the largest antitrust settlement in history.
The dispute dates to 2005.
The retailers claimed Visa, MasterCard and the banks conspired to fix the fees that stores pay to accept credit and debit cards.
The fees average about 2 percent of the price of a purchase.
Visa and MasterCard do not lend to the people who use the cards that bear their logos. They make money on these fees, called "interchange" in the industry. They are set by card processing networks but collected by, and split with, the banks that issue the cards.
Most major U.S. banks were defendants.
The merchants include grocery chains Ralph parent Kroger and Safeway and the Rite Aid drugstore chain.
Mitch Goldstone, co-owner of ScanMyPhotos.com in Irvine, has been the lead plaintiff of the class action lawsuit covering approximately 7 million U.S. businesses that accepted Visa or Mastercard credit and debit cards for payments for goods or services since 2004.
"I'm so excited today," Goldstone said in a phone interview shortly after the settlement was announced.
"Every Orange County business that accepts Visa and Mastercard will get money back and their customers will win as well because businesses will be able to lower their prices."
Goldstone said he started fighting the credit card companies in 2005 over the fees they charged merchants for accepting credit card payments.
He said that with technology he had been able to reduce the price he charged customers for photo scanning by 98 percent and he didn't understand why banks and credit card companies couldn't do the same.
Merchants will be reimbursed out of settlement funds based on how much they paid in fees to the credit card companies and banks. Goldstone said he doesn't know how much he will receive because "Visa has a 108-page payment schedule for merchants and a hundred separate fees. I don't even know what they were charging me, and I was the lead plaintiff on this case."
Goldstone made many trips to Washington D.C. and Brooklyn, NY, where the case was being heard in federal court.
"It's been my life for seven years," he said.

What's in a Name?
On one of my first days at Ortlieb I was trying to enter a small order into the computer but could not find the correct article number for a particular pannier anywhere. So I asked Ian, our product manager, "What is the part number for a Roller-Packer Plus?" He replied laughing to himself, "There isn't one."
I was confused and couldn't figure out why he was laughing. But he quickly explained that a 'Roller-Packer Plus' was not only not a product that we sell but it wasn't even a possibility of being a pannier we make. Still confused and embarrassed at my lack of product knowledge I asked, "Why?"
Seven months later and fully versed in our product, I hear people ask for 'Roller-Packer Plus' or 'Front Plus Classics' and realize that our wide variety of panniers and their names can be confusing. So I will pass the wisdom I learned that day from Ian on to you. The most basic explanation is that each word in the pannier names has a meaning, and that meaning correlates to a specific function of the pannier…a very German way of describing product and we are a German company after all.
For a more in depth explanation of the names of our panniers and what they signify please see the chart below. Soon you will learn why Ian found humor in my asking about a "Roller-Packer Plus".

Michigan crops more at risk with climate change
ANN ARBOR, MI (AP)-- Scientists say as the climate gets warmer, Michigan may experience more of the spring thaw-and-freeze patterns that devastated fruit crops last year.
The prediction came as experts outlined the likely effects of climate change on the Midwest during a conference Tuesday in Ann Arbor.
Michigan state climatologist Jeff Andresen said the risk has risen in recent decades of early spring warm-ups that cause trees to emerge from winter dormancy too soon. If the thaws are followed by late freezes, it can kill buds and ruin crops.
That happened last year, when most of Michigan's tart cherries and apples were ruined.
The report says farmers may be able to adjust to climate change in the short term, but will find it increasingly hard to deal with extreme heat and drought.

I started seeing Calley around the welding shop I work at back in July. She pretty much ignored me. She would catch mice in the scrap pile and carry them to her home, across the alley and under a shed. I decided she looked too skinny so I started leaving food and fresh water in the scrap pile. After only a couple days of feeding her, she would be there everyday to greet me when I got to work. She let me pet her and you could feel all of her little bones. She was starving. So of course I heaped her food dish and started giving her canned food too. After a couple weeks of feeding her, she brought her kittens out. (I had no idea she was nursing kittens) I decided to do the TNR (trap, neuter, release) thing with her. When I saw that the kittens were eating solid food, I made an appointment and got her fixed and shots and then I brought her back to her kittens and let her go. A couple weeks after that she and the kittens disappeared. It drove me crazy wondering and worrying about her. She came back after 5 days but I didn't see the kittens. I brought her to the vet to make sure she didn't have any fleas worms mites or ticks and then I took her home. A week or so after I brought Calley home, the kittens came back and took up residence in the scrap pile. I continued to feed them until the city animal control showed up. I don't know who called them but it was for the best. I live trapped them and they were taken to a no kill shelter that has a barn cat program. They were wild and wouldn't let anyone touch them. It was their best option. Calley or Cal O Mal as I call her, is my sweet baby. She's living life like a pampered princess should. I already had 2 cats and I wasn't looking for a 3rd, but she stole my heart.
Ever since I got a new job last summer and moved into a new apartment, I've been looking to adopt a cat. Growing up in a house that always had cats, life just wasn't the same when you live alone with no pets.
Therefore, last weekend, after months of online searching and constantly checking the nearby Petsmart and Petco, I finally made a two hour trip to visit an young orange tabby kitten. His info said that he had been left in a box in the pouring rain as a two week old kitten. The other kitten who was in the box didn't make it, but this orange tabby did. He ended up being bottle fed and has a little tear on his ear, perhaps from the cold as a baby. When I got there, I knew he was the one for me.
As a six month old kitten, he's enjoying his new home and already eating me out of house and home. His favorite hobbies include playing with the laser light, dragging around his favorite little hedgehog toy, playing hide 'n' seek under the entertainment center, having the ability to sound like a bird when he cries, licking people's feet, jumping on the bed when his mom is making it and pretending it's a trampoline, and waking up his mom and dad in the middle of the night by stepping on their heads.
I'm so glad he loves it here! He's the "purr-fect" addition to my small apartment. Meet Rory. (Meaning: The Red King)
I had been on to my partner for months about getting another feline friend for our darling Lola (almost 3 years old now). He wasn't keen on the idea but the day I brought Bovver home, he fell in love with our new baby boy.
Bovvers mother(Molly) was merely a kitten when my cousin rescued her from the scrap yard and took her in. And it didn't take long before she realized Molly was pregnant! She amazingly birthed 5 gorgeous kittens. Unfortunately the property contained a number of dogs and other dangers, and Molly (a little feral) seemed intent on taking her kittens outside. With huge concern that the worst was to happen to her kittens, my cousin was at a loss of what to do. They couldn't afford vaccinations, let alone enough food for now 6 felines. That's when she got hold of me and I contacted the center I adopted Lola from. I was a bit of a "middle man" between the two, constantly taking photos, spending time with the kittens and reporting back to the amazing rescue crew. And I managed to convince them to take in Molly and her 5 beautiful babies. However, one of the kittens stole my heart completely.
The idea of him waiting for his forever home broke me. And that's when I decided to take him home (unbeknown to my partner at the time).
Bovver has become a huge part of our family, a great companion to us and our other cat. And I am so pleased to say that his three sisters, brother and mother have found their forever homes, all desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
We now have two rescue cats, and though the road has been paved with hurdles (behavioural & medically), we wouldn't have it any other way.
In high school, it was hard for me to trust people; I was bullied, teased and gossiped about. This caused me to become severely depressed and later develop anxiety issues. I knew I needed a best friend; the kind with fur and whiskers! I went into a pet store to buy fish food and other aquatic pet needs when I came across a small adoption center. After not having a cat for many years ( my previous fur baby died when I was 12 years old) I was falling head over paws when I saw Chip. At the time, his name was Little One. His story will break your heart.
Chippy was a feral cat who was captured, along with his mother and siblings. The abuser killed the mother and siblings and tortured Chip by burning his tongue, trying to poison him and shooting him in the leg with a pellet gun, which left him having permanent nerve damage. After he was rescued by a nice woman (who unfortunately had too many cats) she gave him to the adoption center. I begged my mom for days until she finally gave in. I decided to call him Chip, because his ear is clipped from the TNR program. Chip was a nervous wreck naturally when he first got to my house. However, he soon learned to trust me and realized I was going to be his best friend until his last days on this Earth. Through him, I realized that not everyone is out to harm you, and its okay to trust people. We learned to trust and invite people in who want to care and love. Chippy is truly my best friend and has changed my life.
It was the year 2000 and I decided that I wanted a furry roommate. We had always had dogs but I decided on a cat since I worked odd hours and lived in an apartment. I went to the local shelter with a very specific cat in mind. It had to be male and I didn't want an all white, all black or an orange cat. These things I knew for sure! As I looked at all the available cats, I spoke to each one in turn. As I looked in one cage, there sat an orange female named Ruth so properly with her little white paws just so and I poked my finger in her cage as I had been doing and said hello. She swiped at me with one of those perfect white feet and I said, "With an attitude like that, no one is ever going to take you home!" Needless to say, I couldn't forget about that cat. All the things I didn't want! I went back the next day and brought her home with me and changed her name to Willow. She taught me what living with a cat means and I couldn't have loved her any more! In September of 2014 she became very ill very quickly and I had to say goodbye to my beautiful ginger kitty. She was the first pet that was ever just mine and I miss her every single day.
One year ago this week, I went to the local rescue adoption that comes to our local Pet store every Saturday. When I arrived they had all the cats in their crates waiting to be set up. I noticed the sweetest little kitty looking at me from the holes in the little pink carrier. I put my finger in tentatively and she immediately rubbed on my finger. As they set up the booth my eyes kept being drawn to the adorable little grey/white sweetie. They moved her to the wire crate and she definitely was paying as much attention to me as I was to her. Her name was Annie and she was very affectionate and upon opening her cage she immediately started loving on me. When they finished putting the signs on the cages I noticed that her sign mentioned health problems. Annie had severe stomatitis and her teeth were rotting in her mouth. This caused really hideous breath. She had been on antibiotics and steroids many times in her short 2 yr old life. Because she had been in 4 foster homes and returned from 2 adoptions she was not receiving the kind of medical attention she needed. Immediately I felt a kinship with Annie because just like her I had to deal with pain everyday. After lots of debate I knew there was no way I could walk away. What a sweetie, and what a joy to my life. When she arrived at our home she could only take a few bites of food before shaking her head and waiting until her pain subsided. We renamed her Danearys/Dany after the Mother of Dragons (dragon breath) from Game of Thrones. After about a month she had all her back teeth pulled. What a huge difference- she has gone from almost 6lbs to 8lbs. She can eat with no pain now and she is the most lovable little one ever! And best of all NO bad breath!
Beth found the tiny pup injured by the highway. She and Dave cared enough to invest a couple hundred dollars in a Vet check. Then they needed to find a home for the little one. And so Peaches came to join our family. For several weeks her brain injury caused compulsive circling, partial blindness and deafness, and a dragging foreleg. She gradually improved, until now, a year later, she has become the happiest, busiest little dog I have ever known, and a welcome member of our 5 rescue dog "pack".
Her habitual circling has now become an endearing dance. When excited she hops and spins like a little furry dervish. Her perceptual problems usually don't cause difficulty, although she does have a tendency to get disoriented during our high desert back country walks, so I'm kept on my toes watching for her. She more then holds her own in "chase-n-wrassle" games, even with dogs much larger then she. Peaches is also the honorary "mom" to the new kitten.
Peaches is not the first "special needs" dog in our family. Some years ago I was blessed with the companionship of Ruckus, who spent the last half of his long life in blindness. Despite this, he was always an enthusiastic back country walker, getting along by listening for my footsteps, the bell on my walking stick, and occasional verbal warnings of obstacles.
As a lifelong adopter of rescue and "pound" dogs, I am here now to extol the joys of sharing your home with those with physical difficulties and special needs.

I was on my job as a telephone company technician and had just finished a job at an apartment building near Ocean Beach, Ca. when 3 young boys ran up to me for some help. They had found a kitten and stuck him in a running clothes dryer in the apts. laundry room. They ran out and the door locked behind them. I used my screwdriver to pry open the door and free the frightened kitten. He immediately ran out to the parking lot and into the engine compartment of a parked car and became stuck. We searched for the owner but ended up having to open the window with a coat hanger to get to the hood latch and once again I freed him. He was covered with grease and after biting me, he ran up a tree and out on a very small limb. Once again he was hanging on for dear life. I got out my ladder and this time stuck him in my canvas bag. Luckily, it was the end of my shift and he came home with me. We took him to the vet and got him fixed and his shots up to date. This guy has become the most awesome cat in the world. His persona is pure love. That was 14 years ago & he is still amazing in every way. This is our Steve. We call him our Love Cat.
I work as a cocktail waitress in a bar that backs up to an alley and a courtyard. I was taking a break out back and I hear one of the kitchen guys say "Hey Kayla! There's a kitten down here!" Everyone who works there knows I like cats because they've seen me convince the older ferals that frequent the alley to allow me to scratch behind their ears or under their chin. I looked down the alley and sure enough there was a kitten, about six or seven weeks old just meandering up and down the alley. I could tell from far away that he was limping and part of his ear was missing (I later learned he had been caught, neutered, and released so they clipped his ear). I approached the kitten and he would run just a little further away with each approach. Eventually he sprinted away and ran underneath some of the coolers near the back of the restaurant. I reached underneath one of the coolers and dragged the little kitten out. He was terrified and struggled but as soon as I held him against my chest he snuggled right in. I placed him under a milk crate and sprinted upstairs to tell my manager. He allowed me to keep the kitten in our "greenroom" where no patrons go, so I kept him there until the end of the shift and then took him home. One of my coworkers has a girlfriend who loves cats and lived a block away so she ran home to grab some food for him for during the shift because he was starving. I could feel his bones and he was covered in fleas. I soon realized that the bottoms of two of his paws were burned, probably from stepping on some hot metal. I took him to the vet the next day and other than the slight malnourishment, fleas, and burns he was a healthy kitten. I decided to name him O'Malley after the alley cat in Aristocats. Today, about a year later, O'Malley is a rambunctious, mischievous, little cuddle-monster.
Patches is a hand-me-down cat, a very sweet but not very smart calico. Her first owners named her Lollipop, and gave her up for adoption at a year old. Her second owners, who happened to be friends of my brother's, renamed her Patches and had her declawed. They also didn't treat her very well. My brother moved in with them and the first time I met Patches, she was covered in matted fur, and was timid and attention-starved. She bit my mother the first time Mom tried to pet her. Every time I visited, I told her, "If I could, I would take you home and love you." Eventually, my brother's friends had to move and they gave him Patches, because she was "too much work".
In 2009, my brother had to move to an apartment that didn't allow pets. So for Patches (and her adopted sister, Miw), it was either take her to the shelter, or take her home with me. For me, there was only one choice. I loaded them up and took them straight home. My stepfather didn't want "another cat", let alone two, but ironically, he's Patches's favourite person in the world now. Today, she's a blissfully happy cat, very outgoing and affectionate, the most cuddly cat I've ever met. I managed to keep my promise: she's very content and adored in her fur-ever home, where she's queen of the house.

The top stories in the Norwalk Reflector-Herald on this date 94 years ago:
Had some exciting time
Henry Miller of Monroeville, township trustee of Ridgefield Township, had the double experiences of automobiling and sleighing yesterday afternoon on leaving this city for his home.
He was running his big white steamer out West Main Street in the streetcar tracks. Approaching West Street he endeavored to get out of the tracks into the roadway and in so doing the car was thrown sideways and slid along the smooth snowy surface of the pavement like a bobsled, making a fast turn around a corner.
The automobile did not stop until it hit a large telephone pole at the corner of Main and West streets, with a terrific force. The body of the auto was badly smashed and the machinery damaged somewhat. Mr. Miller and his companion, Frank Fritz, were given a severe shaking up.
Driving club elects officers
At a meeting of a number of owners of driving horses held in the harness store of Frank L. Nagel, on East Main Street, last evening, officers for the Norwalk City Driving Club for the ensuing year were elected as follows:
President - Frank A. Adelman
Vice President - Dr. H. Fulstow
Secretary and treasurer - Dr. A.C. Smith
Race committee - J.W. Noggle, F.L. Nagle and Orrie Ferguson.
Narrow escape while skating
Miss Bernice Greene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.F. Green and a teacher in the Hartland School, and one of her pupils had a narrow escape from drowning one day last week. Eight little girls, her pupils, went out on a gravel pit pond not far from the school to skate. The ice was very thin and before they could be warned of the danger, one twelve-year-old girl broke through the ice and fell into the water. Miss Greene noticed the danger and rushed out into the ice and after a hard struggle succeeded in rescuing her. The water was about five feet deep, and miss Greene displayed great heroism in rescuing the girl.
In Society
Teddy, a little Scotch collie dog, belonging to little Kathryn Samats of Woodlawn Avenue, was run over and killed by the Wheeling passenger train yesterday at noon. Everyone knew Teddy, and all will be sorry to hear of his sad death.
Church anniversary approaching
The Milan Presbyterian Church will celebrate its 95th anniversary on April 27, and is already looking forward to its centennial in 1918. Methodist Church will be one hundred years old in 1916, these two churches being the oldest in Erie County.
Teacher becomes a bride
It was a complete surprise Monday morning when the news was reported through the East Norwalk Public School District that the teacher, Miss Fannie Reeder, of Norwalk, married. Miss Reeder for nearly a year has been a very satisfactory teacher in this school district. Mrs. Fannie Reeder Protzman has many true friends here who sincerely wish her real prosperity in the recently acquired sacred marital relations in life.

Hi, Sorry, I too have searched immigration records for Francis Kincannon without success. However, the date of the arrival of the Kincannon name in the Colonies was established shortly after an unfavorable harvest in Ireland in 1739. It has been said that �Many of the very best citizens of Ulster joined the ever increasing tide of immigration and among the passengers were such names as Campbells, Bells, Browns, Logans, Blairs and Kincannons.� (Thomas W. Preston, Historical Sketches of the Holston Valleys, p. 24, Kingsport Press, Kingsport, TN., 1926). I also have the Trimble book on the Kincannon and McDonald familiy of SW VA. It's well done and I would be happy to share the information. Tutt Lambert Notify Administrator about this message?
