Chevy Aveo Hatchback
You can buy it from Helm Publications...www.helm.com, I believe. It is a 2 volume set...very detailed...
hi, i have 2004 aveo hatchback with 54,000 miles on it.
i found on the chevrolet website that aveo's and cobalts come with a 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty.
i called chevy right before i found this information and the lady told me that its 3 year/50,000 mile warranty.
does anyone know for sure which is correct?
my starter and timing belt just broke and i dont have a million dollars to fix this stuff. any help is appreciated. thanks.
I don't know about the 2004 models, but I am looking at the window sticker that I saved from my 2005 hatchback, and it clearly states "5-Year/60,000 mile limited powertrain warranty...see dealer for details".
I just found the quote below on Edmunds review of the 2004 Aveo...
"If the Aveo has a weak spot to consider, it would be its warranty. With only three years or 36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and five years or 60,000 of drivetrain coverage, the Aveo doesn't quite match its competition."
I would think you are covered on both parts, as they are definitely drivetrain related...
A) As "clearly indicated in their official report" this is "clearly" not the same Aveo as is currently released in the United States. Look at the picture of both the car being tested, and the picture of the car tested. The description of the side air bag system also confirms this.
The 2005 Kia Rio they tested corresponds with the 2006 model in the US.
I understand your desire to inform everyone of how poorly the _next_ Aveo (sedan only, at this point) did in the tests, but please do some research before you come in here and bash a car based on false information.
kris14 Posts: 5I admit the front on the Euro NCAP's designated Model 2006 Aveo test car looks slightly different from the U.S. model 2006 Aveo. I do not see any difference in the side view of the crashed car.
Your statement that the crash test is for the coming U.S. Aveo model 2007+ may indeed be correct. I find it impossible, however, to believe that GM-Daewoo has managed to design a new model for world export that is significantly less safe than the current U.S. 2006 model.
Incidentally, I did not write about the safety of the Aveo solely for existing Aveo owners benefit but more so for all the people that value safety and check out this forum before they buy. Hopefully GM-Daewoo will find a way to improve the design of the model 2007+ Aveo, based on the Euro NCAP test.
awesome thanks!
my service technician ended up covering it with the warranty... but he can't find the part! even the factory doesnt have it!
Thanks for letting me know.
I have spent a few more hours with the Wave. I would say that GM Daewoo did a good job in getting the power out of the engine when needed (by revving the engine). This is probably the reason for the bad gas mileage. It's pushing almost the same acceleration power as a Cavalier but with a much smaller engine. That's the only thing I dislike.
But I guess this is better than Corollas/Echos/Tercels I have been in. No matter how much you step on the gas same thing happens - slow accelration
This model is the third version of the old Lanos platform, a car which incidentally did better on the test back in 1999. So it is clearly possible to do worse on a test with a new car (even though it shouldn't be) I admit, seeing those pictures puts some doubt into my mind, but I also doubt that a car that could got more stars in US testing
than the Scion xB, could do that badly.
I also hope that GM-DAT finds a way to improve this cars scores - that is an embarassment.
The Chevy Kalos is the same as the Aveo. The head lights are different. They are the original Italian design. They were changed to meet US regs here. Also they do not get the 1.6 engine. 1.4 is the largest they get. They get nicer wheels then we do and have some with sport suspension. Other wise it is the same car. Europe also gets a neat 3door hatch that should have came to the USA.
iluvmysephia1 KC MetroPosts: 6,876at how many 3 and 4-door rigs look like the silver Kalos Sport in the picture in Europe. I took a gander at Car magazine (a British mag, I do believe)and in the back they have small pictures and short rundowns on all cars available over there. Cars this size are almost the norm over there and there are many makes of cars available.

I've always liked the angled headlights because they match the angle of the tail lights. I'm sure they're the original design. I'm guessing that the horizontally straight headlights on the U.S. version allow for wrap-around parking/turn signals, thus eliminating the need for separate side-clearance lights ahead of the front wheels, as there are behind the rear wheels. Oddly, however, I have a toy/model of the Korean domestic Kalos, and it has the same front end as the U.S. version. Go figure! And I really wish GM had wired up the small, round city-lights inside the headlight units. I'm sure leaving them empty was a money-saving move, especially since those lights aren't really necessary in the U.S., but the city lights on my wife's Honda Si function, and they look very cool!
what are city lights?
I can't remember where I first ran across the term "city lights" (probably the Internet), but I started using it for lack of a better way to describe the small, round lights/housings that (on the U.S. Aveo, at least) are on the outsides of the headlights, inside the main assembly. (The city light is on the left of the headlight in the photo below.) I've never seen angled (original design) Aveo/Kalos headlight assemblies up close, so I don't know if there are city lights inside them.
I just wish the city lights on the U.S. Aveo worked. It seems silly to have conspicuous light housings with nothing inside. I spent almost an hour, back when I first bought my Aveo, trying to find a switch that turned these small lights on. I gave up only after I went under the hood, looked behind the city lights, and discovered that the opening where a bulb should poke through was covered with a piece of plastic! Cheapness wins again!!
thanks for the information on the city lights.
I just wish the city lights on the U.S. Aveo worked. It seems silly to have conspicuous light housings with nothing inside.
Well, I am not sure about the US. But in Canada, all cars must run with daytime running lights (DRL). This means that, even without the parking/low-beam on the high beam will run at 1/2 (1/3) strength. This has the same functionality as the city lights from what I gather. Since this DRL has to be implemented by law there is no need for the city lights
we have the DRL's here but not city lights.
Here's what I think. (Sorry to carry on about something so trivial.) On my wife's Civic Si, the city lights function as the parking lights. They come on alone with the first click of the light switch, and they stay on when the headlights are turned on. The amber turn signals are separate. They're on the sides on the headlight housings and only work as turn signals. On the North American Aveo it's different. The horiztonal amber lights under the headlight housings function both as parking lights and turn signals, making the city lights unnecessary... which is why they're not hooked up. BUT... they must be hooked up in some markets or they wouldn't be there. Somewhere on earth they must be functional! Bottom line: I still think having non-working lights on the front of my car is cheesy!
poncho167 Posts: 1,178Most cars in the U.S. have them, but they are not required by law. Believe it or not there are kits made to disable them because some people are not into public safety.
kleinauto Posts: 3Thankyou very much but my knowledge of computers is very poor. So I guess I may have to spend $400 bucks to replace the speakers.
Other than that the car runs great and it's very practical.
fdanna Posts: 263In Europe the amber lights do not illuminate as "parking lights" they only function as directionals (which makes perfect sense to me). Only the city lights come on (white). I've never used parking lights and I don't even understand the concept. I do think it's stupid to illuminate amber lights for anything other than a lane change. Clearly, when your headlights are on, having the amber lights on at the same time is just redundant and makes it harder for oncoming driving to sense it is blinking without staring. This is only done in the US and Canada.
I've disabled the amber lights coming on with the city lights on my Ford Focus (which has city lights as part of a headlight upgrade). Looks better too.
digitalquirk Posts: 5I have a soft spot for the Aveo and cars of its ilk. The first car I ever owned that could be considered reliable and that I could afford to keep on the road for more than a couple of months was a Nissan Micra 5 door. A silver 5 year old 3 speed automatic with a 49 HP 1.2L engine and just over 60,000 miles, I bought it in my 3rd year of College; it was there for me when I got married, bought my first house, and saw the birth of my first child. I finally sold it when it had over 130,000 miles, owing me absolutely nothing. I was at a stage in my life where I was commuting every day, and while it was great around town, it struggled to keep up on the highway while I had the accelerator pegged to the floor. I always thought it'd be perfect if only it had a 1.6L engine and a manual transmission. I moved up to bigger, more powerful cars.
When the Aveo came out, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to revisit those days, and went to the dealership to buy one. Instead, I ended up falling in love with a 2 year old low mileage black Grand Am GT. Let me tell you something about owning something that can do 0-60 in under 8 seconds: it feels real good, rather like being on a jet plane as it launches into the atmosphere. It's also addictive, which can be a problem. Then there's the ability to pull .82g in a corner. There's the 200 watt 8 speaker Monsoon stereo system. There's the 4 wheel disc brakes that can bring it all to a halt much quicker than most other cars on the road today. There's the standard features, such as cruise control, traction control, ABS brakes, 4 vanity lights, automatic headlights, power sunroof, oil life monitor...I could go on and on with the endless features. There was the fact that it's a bigger car, and looks sharp, especially with the chrome 16" wheels. For the price of a brand new Aveo, I bought a loaded 2 year old Grand Am GT and an extended warranty. You want value for your dollar; it doesn't get better than a 2 year old domestic GM vehicle.
I still think there may be an Aveo in my future; I figure I may buy one for my son to learn to drive on. Of course, I'll drive it for a couple of years first (helps with insurance rates when a car is a little older), then sell it to him, then get something else. Some things I'd like to touch on after reading some of these posts:
-There's no reason why a properly maintained Aveo wouldn't last past 300,000 miles. The only reason why cars like it usually don't is because they're usually treated poorly.
-If you're concerned about crashworthiness at higher speeds, don't get any car in the Aveo's class! The Chevrolet Impala and Malibu still get very good fuel economy, can be had very gently used for the price of a new Aveo, and will offer superior crashworthiness. Clearly, the Aveo (and cars in its class) can handle collisions at in-town speeds (<35 MPH) with 5 stars. It's evident to me that the Aveo is meant as an urban commuter, scooting in and out of tight spaces rather than as a highway cruiser. It should also be noted that the current average speed in rush hour traffic in around major urban centers is typically much less than 35 MPH. Most days, you're lucky to get out of 2nd gear.
-As the problems get worked out and the car improves, the price will climb.
My dream Aveo would be a silver base model with a 5 speed. I'd have the windows tinted and I'd install a decent aftermarket stereo system. I'd also have to add an armrest and cruise control. I'd add extra gauges, like a volt gauge and an oil pressure gauge. I'd put meatier, sticker tires on it, along the lines of the Cooper Cobra GT (one of the best performance tires for the price). I'd replace the shifter bushings with some firm nylon ones, and do some mild performance upgrades (ie; cold air intake). Then I'd use it for scooting around town, zipping through traffic and in and out of tight parking spaces.
I appreciate everyone's answers. If the test drive goes well I probably will purchase the car since it seems like a bargain and I would be assured of at least getting about 10 or 11 miles per gallon better than what I am getting now.
The term city lights is what I have always heard them called. Way back in the sixties VW's had them in the main headlights. Most European cars had them. I know 70's vintage Renaults had small white lights beside the amber turn/parking lights. Also, the practice of having the amber "parking" lights stay on with the headlights also started in the late sixties. My friend has an early sixties Studebaker that the parking lights are only on when the headlights are off. I'm assuming it was the late sixties safety reg's that caused this to change. I'm sure you could fit lights in the housing of the Aveo. Large LED's fitted would make the housing glow fairly bright.

judyhnm Posts: 1I am looking at a 2006 Chevry Aveo to tow behind my RV. Can it be towed 4 wheels down? -- Thx
After taking a test drive, I was pretty set on getting an Aveo up until last evening when doing some research. I noticed on another sites forum that there were numerous complaints regarding electrical problems including the clock needing replaced several times and the car even shutting off while people were driving it. Doing more research this morning only seems to confirm that these problems are common.
This is a shame given that the car has character and I was relatively impressed with it.
From the owners manual -
Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all
four wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must
be towed, you should use a dolly. See "Dolly Towing"
that follows for more information.
I have a 2005 hatchback with 12,500 miles with zero problems so far. I read about the electrical problems with the clock but came to the conclusion that these were on earlier models and it had been resolved. The car was purchased last August when the gas prices started going up. Now that it looks like gas is going to be higher and higher, I'm really glad I have it. The mileage has been right around 30-31mpg on average, but last week I got 35.1 on a highway trip with a strong tail wind. Now my four-wheel drive Sliverado sits in the garage waiting for when I need to tow my camper or haul something big.
wave54 Posts: 211Haven't had the car quit while driving, but do have the clock problem intermittently -- out of warranty though.
Have heard of other owners having problems with valves requiring complete replacement. Seems to be a spotty issue only affecting some vehicles, regardless of model year.
Also, the timing belts tend to fail early, far short of the 60K mile replacement guideline. Mine went at 38K miles (without actually snapping) and have heard of others failing before 50K. To be on the safe side, will replace after 40 - 50K miles. Not happy about the $500 repair cost for a belt replacement! Wish the automakers would give it up on the rubber belts and go back to timing chains or a gear drive instead.

You are searching for a 4 star difficulty hide....micro but not a nano.
Please park in the lot just north of the cache. Do not park near the cache and the gated service road.
Myth has it Saint Umper was the father of geocaching. He was the first to hide a geocache in a small village west of the Vatican...Well ok. I made that up. I needed something to screw with your head.
Can you find St. Umper?
FYI...I recently renamed this cache. The following will not give you any clues..just background on the hide.
Our team's first 5 star difficulty find was in Michigan...GC2BT9B.
A team of 6 spent spent 3 hours. The reason it was so difficult was because the area had so many possible hides which made it nearly impossible. Our cache will not be as hard on the shear fact that there are less diversionary hide opportunities. Nonetheless, this cache is inspired by HMMMM in Michigan. Ours will be less mind bending...and will take most about 10-20 minutes. Some people have struggled with this one..so I changed the name...the devil is in the details.
Please...no hints in the logs. None...THANKS.

HAMBURG (Aug. 23)
Willy Hase, 45-year-old former Gestapo officer in Cracow, Poland, in 1943, was ordered extradited to Poland today by a British extradition court here to stand trial as a war criminal.
Hase is accused of having killed, or ordering the execution of, some 7,000 Jews in Cracow in 1943. A Jewish witness testifying during the initial hearing here said that he recognized Hase as the murderer of his children. The Jew said he punched Hase in the face.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Bank of America Corp. (BAC) continue to fall this afternoon following the bank's announcement earlier today that it would suspend stock repurchases, a dividend increase and resubmit a capital plan, after it uncovered an incorrect accounting adjustment.
The stock is down -6.30% to $14.94.
Morgan Stanley (MS) analysts today said the bank should retain its dividend increase but not continue its repurchase plan, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Analysts say the market reaction is overdone. Investors are taking into account that stock buybacks will be eliminated through 2016, according to Morgan Stanley.

It was positive that the error was found internally through the CFO group after a review of the 10-Q filing, which was better than the mistake being brought to their attention by a third party or the Fed. The hit to earnings per share will be about 1.3%, according to the report.
Morgan Stanley analysts lowered their 2015 earnings per share estimate by 2 cents to $1.79 on higher share count, but the adjustment had no impact to their 2014 EPS estimate, the Journal noted.
The company said it will review its financial accounts and plans to request a capital action plan that is less than its previously announced 2014 plan.

National Theatre's Phedre cinema screening attracts lower income audiences
Research into the National Theatre's live screening of Phedre last year has revealed the cinema audiences had a lower average income than theatregoers who saw the performance in the NT's South Bank home.
However, 91.3% of the cinema-goers had seen a play within the last year, and 41.3% had been to the National Theatre within the last 12 months, according to a report published by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts.
The research shows that 24.5% of the Phedre cinema audience earned less than £20,000 per annum, compared with 15.8% of the theatre audience. At the other end of the scale, 12.9% of people watching the performance in the cinema earned more than £50,000, compared with 25.5% of those sitting in the National Theatre.
The NESTA briefing, which is based on audience surveys from the first NT Live pilot - Phedre - states that almost 30% of cinema respondents claimed they were more likely to attend a play at another theatre in future as a result of the screening. Just under 90% said they were more likely to go to other live broadcasts of theatre productions.
Cinema audiences also reported higher levels of emotional engagement with the performance than those watching it at the NT, with 60.6% of cinema audience responses strongly agreeing that they felt "totally absorbed" in the production compared with 38% in the theatre.
NESTA Creative Industries director Hasan Bakhshi admitted that he did not expect this level of emotional engagement from the cinema audiences. He added that he had also been struck by the fact the "liveness" of the performance was as important for the cinemagoers as the people at the theatre.
He said: "Somehow, this technology allowed the theatre to break the physical constraints that are presented by traditional theatre and actually managed to maintain the "live" and, in some ways, rather surprisingly, develop it."
From the research, it seems that the National Theatre was able to draw on the relationships cinemas across the country had already established with their audiences - over half the respondents who saw Phedre in the cinema found out about the screening through their cinema.
NESTA's research briefing entitled Beyond Live is part of a wider study by Bakhshi and Professor David Throsby into innovation in arts and cultural institutions. The full research report will be published this spring.
The National Theatre is currently planning the second season of NT Live, which is due to begin in the autumn.

AUSTIN, TEXAS – A federal judge declared a ban on same-sex marriage in deeply conservative Texas unconstitutional Wednesday, prompting celebrations by gay marriage advocates over what could be their biggest victory yet in the U.S.
Wednesday's ruling will allow the second-most-populous state to continue enforcing the ban pending an appeal that likely will go to the U.S. Supreme Court. It follows similar recent decisions in Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia.
Proponents of same-sex marriage have been emboldened by last year's landmark Supreme Court ruling that said legally married gay couples could not be denied federal benefits. Lawsuits challenging same-sex marriage bans have been filed in dozens of states.
The legal victories have come amid growing support for gay marriage, according to polls. Opponents of gay marriage have been scrambling to respond. Bills are making their way through several state legislatures — some intended to protect gay-marriage bans, others to protect individuals or businesses who, for religious reasons, don't want to serve same-sex couples.
In another closely watched case, Arizona's governor on Wednesday vetoed a Republican bill that was designed to give added protection from lawsuits to people who assert their religious beliefs in refusing service to gays. Opponents called it an open attack on gays that invited discrimination.
In Texas, U.S. Judge Orlando Garcia issued a preliminary injunction after two gay couples challenged a Texas constitutional amendment and a long-standing law.
"Without a rational relation to a legitimate governmental purpose, state-imposed inequality can find no refuge in our United States Constitution," Garcia wrote. "These Texas laws deny plaintiffs access to the institution of marriage and its numerous rights, privileges and responsibilities for the sole reason that plaintiffs wish to be married to a person of the same sex."
Garcia said the couples are likely to win their case and the ban should be lifted, but said he would not enforce his ruling pending one by a federal court of appeals, which already is hearing two other states' cases. He also will give Texas time to appeal to a federal appeals court.
Todd Staples, a candidate for lieutenant governor who drafted the Texas constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, denounced the court's decision. "I am disappointed that judicial activism is once again trying to trump the will of the people. This ruling is the poster child of the culture war occurring in America today," he said.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement, "Texans spoke loud and clear by overwhelmingly voting to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman in our Constitution, and it is not the role of the federal government to overturn the will of our citizens."
At least 17 states, mostly in the Northeast, and the Washington capital district now allow marriage of same-sex couples.
The Supreme Court, in its decision last June, declined to rule on the merits of a voter-approved California law that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. The effect of the decision was to allow same-sex unions to resume in California, but the high court said nothing about the right to marry.
The court did order the federal government to recognize valid same-sex marriages by striking down the part of the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act that denied same-sex married couples the federal benefits and rights enjoyed by heterosexual couples.
Every judge who has decided a same-sex marriage case since that ruling has come down on the side of gay marriage and has drawn heavily on the high court's opinions.
Opponents of gay marriage, meanwhile, have called for extraordinary measures in response.
A bill recently introduced in Congress by conservative Republicans titled the State Marriage Defense Act would require the federal government to respect each state's determinations of its residents' marital status when applying federal law. It has no chance of passage in the Democratic-led Senate.

A pensioner has died in a house fire despite attempts by neighbours to save her.
Firefighters were called to the property in Warrington Road in the Brislington area of Bristol at 7.20pm on Sunday.
The woman, who has not been identified, died at the scene after attempts to resuscitate her failed.
Avon Fire and Rescue Service said smoke from the blaze, which is not thought to be suspicious, prevented neighbours from getting inside her home.
A fire service spokesman said: "Once on scene crews in breathing apparatus gained entry to the house where they found a fire on the ground floor.
"Firefighters used a high-pressure hose reel to extinguish the fire in the kitchen area.
"Before crews arrived neighbours had tried to enter the home to help a woman who was believed to be still inside.
"During a search of the property firefighters found the body of an elderly woman. Despite the efforts of fire and ambulance crews, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Live from Port Charlotte: Maddon's cleveriness ('09 is greater than '08), Longoria's absence
UPDATE, 2:33: No issues during the first full-squad workout, and among the more interesting observations was how good Crawford looked, having spent this off-season working out hard as usual, but also on grass in Houston, rather than on turf in Arizona as he had the last few years, and with a trainer who specializes in hamstrings, so his legs should be strong all season.
Pena said he felt great as recovers from January surgery to repair two tears in his lower abdominal muscle. Maddon said Longoria was in obvious discomfort from his wisdom teeth extractions so they told him to stay off the field. The arbitration-hearing avoiding deal with Willy Aybar that's been in the works for a week is expected to be finalized this afternoon. According to SI.com, it's worth about $2.6-million with some escalator clauses.
UPDATE, 12:20: Here's early word on the new slogan, at least unofficially: '09 is greater than '08. And in shorthand, we're guessing: '09 > '08.
UPDATE, 11:50: Doesn't sound like anything major with Longoria. According to the Rays, he left the field after feeling some discomfort from his wisdom teeth extractions on Friday and they "are just being cautious against any possible infection.''
Also, word is that INF Ray Olmedo will make it to camp later this afternoon.

Manager Joe Maddon revealed this year's motivational slogan to the players during his pre-workout address, and said he will make it public after today's session. "It's not that big a deal,'' he said. "It's clever. Or at least I've been told it's clever. I'll tell you guys this afternoon.''
The Rays are spread out all over the 5-1/2 practice fields, and there a few hundred fans on a sunny day. 3B Evan Longoria is not taking part in the drills with the other infielders; he was on the field earlier, but appears to have gone back inside. Not sure why or what it means yet -- he did have his wisdom teeth taken out last week.
The first casualty of the spring was senior advisor Don Zimmer, who had to get a cortisone shot in his left knee this morning after stepping in a hole while moving between fields on Tuesday. Zimmer is using a golf cart to get around today.

Tampa, Hillsborough County preparing to sue BP over oil-spill claims
Days before the third anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, attorneys for Hillsborough County and the city of Tampa are moving to file lawsuits against oil giant BP over tens of millions of dollars in lost tax revenues.
Hillsborough County commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday to file suit over the county's claim that it suffered nearly $43 million in losses — from hotel, gas, sales and other tax and fee receipts — as a result of the spill.
Commissioners previously had voted to pursue a claim against the company for the losses. The county has entered the claims process, but commissioners' original vote didn't explicitly authorize a lawsuit. They approved pursuing the lawsuit Wednesday without discussion.
The statute of limitations for filing a claim through the courts expires Monday, officials say. The county has hired the Fowler White Boggs law firm to pursue its claim. The firm is working under a contract that would pay it 20 percent of what it recovers, plus legal expenses, if it secures any money for the county. It will not be paid otherwise.
Meanwhile, Tampa's claim for more than $50 million to cover damages to business and tourism has not been resolved, City Attorney James Shimberg Jr. said Wednesday.
Consequently, Shimberg said, the city's special counsel on the oil spill, Steven Yerrid, is finalizing a complaint against BP expected to be filed in federal court by the end of the week.

It wasn't so long ago when I thought that dinner was supposed to be a rather grand affair involving some sort of protein, some sort of starch and some sort of vegetable. And, if I was really industrious, a salad would start it off. Well, that thinking started to change for me about ten months ago when I began the Weight Watchers program, yet again!
I vowed that this stint with Weight Watchers would be different from all the others. How? Well, for one thing, I recognized that in the past I had filled my day with some real food, but mostly garbage, processed food substitutes. Yes, I remained within my daily points allowance and lost the weight, but I felt hungry all the time. I never kept the weight off once I got to my goal. Not even for a day. Because once I hit that goal, I was so starved mentally and physically that I was out of control. I knew that I was doing something wrong.
This time I was fortunate. I happen to have a penchant for some of the "Housewives" shows and I happened to read a particular NYC Housewive's book called "Naturally Thin." It was in Bethanny Frankel's book that I first came across the term "Volumetrics" and first saw a recipe for Zucchini Soup. THANK YOU MS. FRANKEL! I started to piece it all together . . . yes, I needed to eat fewer calories in order to lose weight, BUT I also needed to feel full and satisfied (that's the volume part of the equation), AND my body needs lots of nutrients to give me all of the energy and vitality that I need to get through each day. How can you accomplish all of this? VEGETABLES
Is it true that there are magical weight loss foods? Heck, I don't know. I'm not a doctor or even a nutritionist. What I do know FOR SURE is that if I fill my tummy with nutritious (read "unprocessed"), low calorie food (for you Weight Watchers out there, anything that is 2 points or less per cup of food) then I lose weight. Soups, salads, smoothies plus creative almost vegan dishes like the recipe below fill me up, taste amazing, and have turned my body into something it has never been before. And dinner got a whole heck-of-alot easier each night. No more hour and a half long sessions in the kitchen after work. Just a few minutes assembling a salad and warming up whatever soup or vegetable side dishes that fill up my refridgerator and freezer (more on how they got there in a future post).
The following is a scrumptious side dish. You could serve it with a salad and some crackers and a healthy dip for a low calorie lunch or dinner. If you simply can't go without the meat, it is also fabulous served with chicken, turkey or fish (just ask my husband).
Braised Celery with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers
Makes 6 servings, each serving = 1.5 WW points (about 1.5 cups=1 serving)
based on a recipe by Mark Bittman
roughly 2 1/2 pounds celery, washed, trimmed and cut into 2″ lengths
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup minced onion or shallots
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 Tbsp drained capers
1 cup pitted and sliced or chopped black olives
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes (can use fresh–just core, seed and chop them)
1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, deep pan or pot over medium heat.
2. Add the onion or shallot and the celery to the pot and and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the flour. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more.
3. Add the stock and stir. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low. Add the capers, olives and tomatoes. Cover and cook until the celery is very tender; 10-15 minutes. Uncover; if the mixture is very watery turn the heat up and boil off some of the liquid. When the mixture has a saucy texture, it is ready.
Refridgerates and reheats well. Some people don't like capers–just leave 'em out!

Carpenter Community Charter Governance Council
As a district-affiliated charter school, Carpenter has significant autonomy over policies, programs, and procedures at the school. The school's Governance Council, comprised of elected teacher, parent, and staff representatives, participates in decisions regarding curriculum, hiring, budget, enrollment, and day-to-day and long-term concerns. The Governance Council acts in an advisory role to the school's administration.

Governance Council meetings are generally held every third Thursday of the month at 2:45 pm in Café West. Meetings are open to the public. Parents, guardians, and all members of the community are encouraged to attend.
If you want to place an item on the agenda and/or have a concern or idea you wish to make known to the Council, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Meeting notices and agendas are posted on the Governance Council bulletin board in the school's main hallway at least 72 hours in advance and can also be found on the school's website.
The Council has established certain advisory committees in order allow broader participation and to help the Council operate more efficiently as it works towards achieving the goals outlined in our charter. These committees meet separately from the Governance Council, but report their progress at the regular monthly Council meetings. Committee meetings are posted on the school calendar and on the Governance bulletin boards. Our standing committees include:
Budget & Finance
Positive Behavior
Strategic Planning
Ad hoc committees are established when a specific issue requires a dedicated team to conduct research before a governance decision is made. Our current ad hoc committees include:
Extracurricular Programs
