Cruze Cruise Drive-away Event

Area dealers get chance to take a Cruze (Taken in part from an article written by John Luciew, The Patriot News)

Most times, when car dealers take a road trip, they slap the magnetic plates on a demo model and roll. However, John Hickey, along with other dealer members of the Central PA Chevy Dealers LMA, chartered a Coach Bus to take them and their invited media guests on a trip for a "Cruze Cruise Driveaway" Event at the Lordstown, Ohio GM Plant on Sep-tember 21st and 22nd.

It was a much more momentous occasion that prompted these representatives of 14 central Pennsylvania Chevrolet dealerships, to load into the charter bus and head for Ohio on Tuesday, September 21st. They were off to meet their future.

The new model, designed to be easy on the wallet, light on gas, but heavy on features and styling, represents GM's most direct assault yet on the compact-car market long ruled by the likes of the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla.

"This car is critically important to the long-term success of GM," said John C. Hickey, president of Sutliff Chevrolet, who toured the auto plant that day. The same holds for the Cruze's importance to the Harrisburg-based dealership, which took delivery of its first three Cruze models that Sep-tember week.

"This car is your bread and butter, middle America, all-day, everyday vehicle," Hickey added. "It's going to be a high-volume car for GM's highest-volume brand."

Expectations couldn't be higher.

GM is looking to sell some 200,000 Cruze models annually. All of them will be built at the Lordstown plant, which is run-ning full-tilt at three shifts a day to supply enthusiastic deal-ers.

John Hickey and the other local dealers participating in the trip got to do more than look. As part of the scheduled fac-tory tour, which was open to the media, they test drove the Cruze side-by-side with Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas in a closed course adjacent to the plant.

Afterward, John Hickey along with his guests, Dennis Buter-baugh of WHTM Channel 27 News, and John Luciew of the Patriot News, drove away forming a convoy of Chevy Cru-zes back to Pennsylvania and Sutliff Chevrolet. The object was to get as much media exposure as possible, create a fun event and also get 14 Cruzes to market early. Most likely, the new models wore those tell-tale dealer plates as they caravanned back on the Pennsylvania Turn-pike.”

My message for today...be thankful for the “Big Rocks” in your life.

John Big Rocks

by Unknown Author

An expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high- powered overachievers he said, "Okay, time for a quiz" and he pulled out a one-gallon, mason jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.

When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?" Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes." The time management expert replied, "Really?"

He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel

to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is the jar full?" By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered.

"Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?"

"No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he

grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?"

One eager beaver raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!"

"No," the speaker replied, that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all.

What are the 'big rocks' in your life -- time with your loved ones, your faith, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these BIG ROCKS in first or you'll never get them in at all." So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are reflecting on this short story, ask yourself this question: What are the 'big rocks' in my life? Then, put those in your jar first."

Members from the Progress Fire Department travelled to Emmits-

burg, Maryland the first weekend in October for their fifth con-

secutive year participating in the National Fallen Firefighters

Weekend. Progress is always honored and proud to do their part

in this special weekend — and Sutliff Chevrolet is equally proud

to lend it’s American flag — to honor the families that lost a loved

one in the line of duty.

Pennsylvania Health Dept Urges Smokers to Quit During

35th Annual 'Great American Smokeout'

On the heels of the Great American Smokeout held November 18th, Sutliff Chevrolet is adopting its own tobacco-free policy on all campuses effective January 1, 2011. Employees on the company health care plan may contact Dolores McGee, Human Resources (phone 717-920-5558 or [email protected]) for assis-tance in enrolling in a smoking cessation program offered by Capital Blue Cross or Keystone Health Plan Central. To contact the health plan directly, employees may call:

CBC PPO 1-800-962-2242 KHPC 1-800-669-7061

The Department of Health and the American Can-cer Society also offers support to help Pennsyl-vania smokers give up tobacco. "Pennsylvania has made great strides in reducing tobacco use in adults with rates showing a nearly five percent decrease since 2003," said acting Sec-retary of Health Michael Huff. " Even though quit-ting is difficult, managing a potential disease that results from smoking will be much more difficult." Today, approximately 20 percent of adult Pennsyl-vanians smoke cigarettes – about the same as the national smoking rate. Cigarette smoking contin-ues to be the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly one of every five deaths nationwide is related to smoking. Cigarettes kill more Americans than alco-hol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined. The Department of Health provides tobacco pre-vention and cessation services throughout the commonwealth to individuals who want to quit smoking through www.DeterminedToQuit.com. The website features an online quit companion, along with other resources and tips designed to help quit-ters remain tobacco free. In addition, Pennsylvania offers a free "quitline" at

1-800-QUIT-NOW. Individuals that receive support during their quit attempts are much more likely to succeed. "Research shows smokers – on average - try to quit at least seven times before they succeed," added Huff. "We encourage Pennsylvanians to use Nov. 18 as their first step to reaching their goal of becoming tobacco-free."

John Weikle, Jon Murray, Paula Grunden and “friends” have been active in the community pro-moting Sutliff Chevrolet’s Commercial Truck Center the past few months. They represented Sutliff for Fall Customer Appreciation day at Lowes in Harris-burg in September. Bill Krieger cooked up a batch of his famous Sutliff chili for the Harrisburg Home Builders Association Chili Cook-off in October. And November found the group at the Business Expo at the Farm Show Building. Immediately af-ter the expo, they participated in the HBA Building Industry Night.

As part of Chevy’s Giving More year-end sales

event, Sutliff Chevrolet is proud to give back

more by once again reaching out to the commu-

nity through its participation in the Marine Corps

Reserves Toys for Tots campaign.

Sutliff Chevrolet invites employees and custom-

ers to drop a new, unwrapped toy in the bed of

the designated Silverado in the middle of the

Sutliff Chevrolet Showroom at 1251 Paxton

Street, Harrisburg, PA. Donations must be re-

ceived by December 10th.

UNITED WAY KICK-OFF SUCCESSUL

Thanks to all the employees who helped raise $1,451 at our United Way kick-off on September 24th. Jack Benner, Tom Bischoff (WV Store), John Hickey, Jeff Millar, Bill Krieger, Scott Roberts (ADP), Dan (Crime Intervention Alarm) and Carl Townson were the brave souls who vol-unteered for the dunk tank in the name of charity!

In addition to the dunk tank, employees paid to wear jeans for the day and bid on items donated by their fellow employees. Some of the more notable auction items included a 6-month “You Buy-I’ll Fly” lunch pick-up service, two year-long premium parking spaces, Golfing at Ar-mitage Country Club, dinners, desserts and snacks, Penn State tickets, yard work, small engine repair, car detail ser-vice, clothing, Avon jewelry, wine and gift cards.

A special thanks to Enterprise Rental who provided hotdogs, chips and sodas for the event!

Sutliff Sudoku

To solve a Sudoku, you only need logic and patience. No math is required. Simply make sure that each 3x3 square region has a number 1 through 9 with only one occur-rence of each number. Each column and row of the large grid must have only one instance of the numbers 1 through 9. The difficulty rating on this puzzle is easy.

Sutliff Chevrolet Consumer

Council “Customer Touch”

The Sutliff Chevrolet Con-sumer Council met on September 9th to discuss a variety of topics, including social networking and customer service. Everyone in attendance agreed that com-munication is key to customer satisfaction. They want to be kept informed every step of the way as to what is happening with their vehicle. Toward that end, Sutliff Chevrolet recently adopted ADP’s Customer Touch service. The service advisors are now able to use “real time” technology to automatically re-mind customers of their service appoint-ments, let them know when special order parts are received, ask questions and/or contact them when their vehicles are ready for pick-up.

From: John Davis [mailto:[email protected]] To: Sheila Rouse Subject: That was awesome

Thanks for the information about the flag raising. I arrived to hear most of the Colonel's words. I also had the opportunity to touch the flag as it was being raised. Great. On my way to Sutliff I called all of my relatives who have served or are currently serving to say thanks. From World War II to Vietnam and those currently serving with the Air National Guard out of State College. I make the calls every year.

You and Sutliff are awesome. The pin is fantastic you are a talent and from what I saw deeply appreciated. Thanks again. Page 7

Service with a

Smile! Our new Equinox rides beautifully. It was like driving to work on a cloud. I could really tell the difference riding on the same roads that I travel to work every day. Add satellite radio to that, [and I am in heaven].

E. Rouse

I just want to take a moment to send kudos to Joe

Polillo for helping me when I took my car in for service.

He thoroughly explained what I needed and helped

me make an informed decision.

A Satisfied Service Customer

Joe Polillo is an outstanding tech. Fixes things cor-

rectly the first time! This has not always been the

case at other GM dealers.

Paul Gawel

Paul Holsopple, my salesman, does great work.

This is my third truck with him — a fourth from

Sutliff. I am completely satisfied.

Philip Stroup

Paul Holsopple was fantastic. He was person-

able and knowledgable...Highly recommend him

and Sutliff Chevrolet.

Kathleen O’Day

Thank you for having the playroom in the lounge —

it is such a big help!!

John, Just a quick note on a non lacrosse related topic. I have had my Yukon in to the truck center a couple times for some mi-nor repairs. Both times I dealt with Dave and he is out-standing! Best experience that I have had with a dealership service department! Having lead our company's customer service department, I know that you always hear about bad experiences. It is nice to hear the good, Dave is first rate and a credit to your com-pany! Have a great weekend! David Heisey Director, Sales Provista

Thank you all for taking

time out of your busy day

to support the veterans on

Veterans Day. The

“raising of the flag was so

beautiful. It makes tears

come to your eyes. Keep

up the good work! Keep

the faith.

These steps can lead to financial free-dom in the years to come

Your retirement plan might be affected because of the slow economy, but there are still things you can do to make that money last for a lifetime.

Pay off your debts and avoid taking on new ones. If your debt level is unpayable, visit the Associa-tion of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling at www.aicca.org or call 800-703-8787.

Don't pay off debts with money from an IRA or 401(k). This money is protected from bankruptcy.

Know what your expenses and income will be when you retire. If you start living on your retire-ment budget now, you will have less chance of running out of money.

Increase your savings even if it means changing your lifestyle.

Invest in low-cost stock index funds so you have greater returns on your investments. Stay away from individual stocks.

Avoid taking Social Security until age 70. Your check will be 76 percent larger than if you take it at age 62.

Work longer, especially if you have health insur-ance on your present job. If you must retire, find a new job that offers health insurance, such as Costco, Home Depot, or Walmart, which have benefits for part-timers.

Put off taking a reverse mortgage. They are avail-able at age 62, but wait until your 70s or 80s.

Buy an immediate fixed annuity. Payouts are based on your investment, your age and the type of benefit you want, says financial advisor Jane Bryant Quinn.

If all else fails, you might have to move in with your children. That idea should get you moving.

Drinking water lubri-cates joints, prompts

metabolism

Sometimes aching joints are just telling you they're thirsty. Whether or not you have ar-thritis, water works by filling the spaces between joints.

The right amount for you could be more or less than the recommended eight glasses of water a day. When you exercise, if the weather is hot or your health condition requires more, eight glasses may not be enough.

If you drink many other fluids, the minimum amount of ac-tual water you need to drink is two to three glasses a day. Water moves nutrients through your body, hydrates your joints and cells and in-creases metabolic activity.

Low-fat milk and calcium-fortified orange juice are good drinks. Two or three cups of green tea or one cup of fruit juice are excellent drinks.

Two cups of caffeinated coffee, soft drinks or tea count in your favor.

Sodas that contain phosphoric acid, which can pre-vent calcium from being absorbed, can increase your risk of osteoporosis, say researchers at the Cleveland Clinic.

Always drink alcohol in moderation, one or two glasses a day at most. Alcohol is dehydrating, which can decrease the amount of water in your body and decrease water's benefits.

About 20 percent of your fluid need is met by the foods we eat. The other 80 percent must be from beverages.

Remember that water is a pleasant drink. It's safe, inexpensive and always available.

Sutliff Chevrolet’s Con-

sumer Council, enjoys a

tom labeled for the dealer-

ship.

ANNOUNCING SUTLIFF CHEVROLET

COMPANY STORE LANDS END

BUSINESS OUTFITTERS

Sutliff Chevrolet is pleased to an-nounce the grand opening of its online employee company store. Employees will now be able to go online to shop for their company approved apparel and gear. Even if you have never shopped online before, you’ll find this site easy to use and convenient. Orders will now be shipped directly to your home — otherwise everything remains the same. Sutliff Chevrolet will pay the shipping and you will pay for your uniform clothing through payroll deduction.

As a GM dealership employee your price is the published price plus $5.95 for the logo less 10% off the total before shipping. If there is a special Landsend sale going on at the time of your order, the discount(s) will be honored by the company store.

Sutliff will pay for 50% for on-duty indoor wear and $20 toward the cost of your choice of one jacket for your personal use for outdoor wear.

Employees are reminded that uniforms are to be worn as just that – uniforms – not as an accessory. That means ALL cloth-ing visible to our customers must have the Chevy logo and sweater sets must be worn as a set with the Chevy logo on both pieces. Jeans, even on Saturday, are not allowed in cus-tomer contact areas.

Please see Sheila Rouse, ext. 1770 or [email protected] for assistance in placing your first online order. She will provide you with the store URL and advise you of any restrictions that may apply. If you do not have access to a computer, Sheila will be happy to assist you.

NO PARKING REMINDER Employees are reminded that they are to park in the designated area adjacent to the Prep Shop

building. The good news is that sales and service business is improving...the bad news is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find places to put service cars because employees are often times parked in the spaces. This problem is only go-ing to escalate as new car inventory continues to grow — 80 Cruzes are on the way! Unless you are a United Way parking space holder, please park in the designated employee parking across the street. Because of the inventory situation we have not been policing the parking lot. However, circumstances now make it necessary to begin doing so again. If you feel you qualify for an exception, please talk to your supervisor.

It’s Coming… a CHANGE is Coming… There is a change coming for all of you who are enrolled in a Sutliff Auto Group sponsored medical plan. Effective January 1, 2011 Capital Blue Cross is switching Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) from Express Scripts to CVS/Caremark.

A Capital Blue Cross implementation team is hard at work to ensure none of us ex-perience a “whoops”. The team is transferring all accrued indemnities (prior

claims), valid prior authorizations (PA) and valid mail-order prescriptions from Express Scripts to CVS/Caremark so everything is in-place and ready to serve the needs of every Capital Blue Cross (CBC) mem-ber.

To ensure you have a clear understanding of what will take place, CBC will send out packets of informa-tion. The packets will contain a brief overview of the transition and what you can expect as well as any new customer service phone numbers or web addresses you might need to use to contact CVS/Caremark. In addition, CBC members will receive new ID cards with the CVS/Caremark logo…..NOTE: These new ID cards will not be valid until January 1, 2011; you will continue to use your current card until midnight on December 31, 2010.

Any mail order prescriptions you currently receive will continue so long as the prescription is valid, has a valid PA (prior authorization) and is eligible to refill.

For those using a retail pharmacy…….if you currently use a CVS retail pharmacy, nothing will change for you; if you use the services of another pharmacy, you will want to move to a CVS retail pharmacy to be able to take full advantage of the prescription drug program. And, should you choose to do so, you may continue to use your current pharmacy as most pharmacies participate in the CVS National Pharmacy Network. However, whether moving to a CVS pharmacy or continuing to use your current pharmacy, you will likely need to show you ID card the first time or two you go to fill a prescription.

For those utilizing the convenience of the mail-order pharmacy…..nothing will change other than where the prescription is filled. Beginning January 1, 2011, members should send NEW mail-order prescrip-tion requests and refills directly to CVS/Caremark. The new address is:

CVS Caremark

PO Box 2110

Pittsburgh, PA 15230-2110

Remember, CBC will transfer any current valid mail-order prescriptions to CVS/Caremark. However, if the prescription a compound or is a controlled medication (Class 2 through Class 5 – most of these are pain medications), a new prescription will be required.

For those using the services of CuraScripts, Inc (the specialty pharmacy that provides drugs such as those used in chemotherapy)……nothing will change….you will continue to utilize CuraScripts.

If you have questions regarding this transition, you may visit CBC’s web site at www.capbluecross.com or call the Human Resource Department – Dolores can be reached at 717 920-5558; Rebecca can be reached at 717 920-5556.

Kathi Dymond and Brenda Washinger participated in the Walk Against Breast Cancer on October 23rd. Brenda shares: “We greatly appreciated what everyone could give at this time of year and the way the economy is. Every little bit helps. Although we didn’t exceed last year’s donation, we were able to give the American Cancer Society a donation of $2,000. Employees donated $1,000 and Sutliff Chevrolet matched that donation. We think that everyone is in agreement that this is a good cause because it has touched someone in their family or someone they know. We need to find a cure. We are not the only ones who support this worthy cause — if you look around, almost every-where you go in the month of October you see PINK.” Thanks again from Kathi and Brenda. Anyone inter-ested in walking next year, please contact Brenda at Ext. 1703. They would like to get a bigger Sutliff team next year to show their support.
