Virginia Statehouse News
RICHMOND Virginia drivers
may want to renew their licenses a
bit early to avoid the increased fees
laid out in Gov. Bob McDonnells
budget proposal.
Te governor on Monday pro-
posed a series of fee increases in
his frst two-year budget, includ-
ing a $20 minimum fee on all
drivers licenses, as well as higher
rates to replace registration and
title documents for vehicles.
Gov. Bob McDonnell said the
fee hikes are necessary to cover
operating expenses for the ser-
vices of the state Department of
Motor Vehicles, or DMV, after
Virginia extended its drivers li-
cense period to eight years from
fve in 2008.
Tis is only to cover costs for
existing operations, he said. Te
obligation is to make sure that the
fees match the service.
State budget forecasts estimate
that the DMV will lose nearly $23
million in the next two years be-
cause drivers dont have to renew
their licenses as often.
Te governors proposed hikes
are expected to bring in an addi-
tional $10 million during the next
two years.
Republicans have campaigned
and achieved major election vic-
tories in the House of Delegates,
state Senate and the governors
mansion on the promise of not
raising taxes even when faced with
a potential defcit of $1.5 billion.
McDonnell claimed to do just that
in his address to the Joint Money
Committees on Monday.
Te budget funds operations
through revenue growth and
spending cuts without raising
taxes, he told the audience of
senators, delegates and depart-
ment heads at his budget address
here.
The governors allies are be-
hind the proposal, including
House Majority Whip Kirk Cox,
R-Chesterfeld, who has opposed
fee increases.
Tat is something weve been
very reluctant to do, he said.
Te governor laid out the test,
which is: Does the fee pay for the
service? Tat is something well be
looking into.
Mike Tompson, president of
the Thomas Jefferson Institute
for Public Policy, a nonpartisan,
conservative nonprofit, said he
is also inclined to support the fee
hikes, despite his opposition to
tax increases.
A fee is for those who use the
service, rather than an income
tax, which applies to everybody,
he said.
The philosophical difference
between a tax increase and a fee
hike does not do much to convince
Richmond native Gwen Cox, 49,
who said he feels DMV payments
are no diferent than income or
sales taxes.
People have to drive for work,
so youre going to have to pay it,
she said. Tis is a case of a politi-
cian saying one thing and then
doing another once hes elected.
DMV spokeswoman Melanie
Stokes said the average driver
is not expected to see his costs
increase.
Te $20 minimum fee will pre-
vent many drivers from obtaining
temporary licenses on a year-to-
year basis at $4 per year. Stokes
said this measure is targeted at
Northern Virginia, where many
people commute to Washington,
D.C. for a short period of time
before moving.
But a new $20 fee would apply
to all drivers, doubling the cost for
lost licenses, as well as doubling
replacement title fees to $10. Car
owners also would face a $10 late
fee for registering a vehicle after
state deadlines.
Driver advocate AAA said it will
be monitoring all transportation-
related budget items throughout
the 2012 session, though it has not
analyzed the DMV hikes.
Te concern would be if the
fees are equitable and if they are
needed for services, AAA spokes-
woman Georjeane Blumling said.
We will review and see how it
would afect the driving popula-
tion.
McDonnel l opponent and
House Minority Leader David
Toscano, D-Charlottesville, said
he was surprised that the governor
could see the logic of a balanced
approach for the DMV, but not
state revenue in general.
Tats the real dilemma for the
governor. Youre going to have
to raise taxes and revenue or cut
spending or both, he said. I think
the DMV plan is a situation were
going to have to look at.
Te proposed changes would
not go into efect until 2013.
Te General Assembly will have
three weeks to digest the gover-
nors 700-page proposal before it
reconvenes Jan. 11.

Radiator Woes
Q:
Ive got an old hot-water
heating system that pumps
water from the boiler to the radia-
tors around my house. Ive noticed
that some of the radiators heat only
halfway: The bottom part heats,
but the top part doesnt. Any rea-
son for this? Jerry in Randolph,
Mass.
A:
Radiators that dont heat up
completely or that feel cooler
toward the top may have air trapped
in them, a problem that can be
resolved pretty quickly by bleeding
the air out.
First turn off the thermostat (you
dont want the system running while
you do this) and let the system cool
down for a few minutes. Then start
with the radiator thats closest to the
boiler. Locate the air vent near the top
of the radiator. Being careful to pro-
tect your hands from the hot water,
open the air vent just one turn using
a screwdriver or a radiator key. You
should hear air hissing out. As soon
as water starts to appear at the vent,
close it up. Move to the next affected
radiator and repeat the process.
Because so many radiators are
showing trapped-air problems, you
may have a bigger issue with the
heating system. If the problem returns
after you bleed the radiators, contact
a professional to check out the entire
system. Trapped air can cause corro-
sion inside the pipes, leading to other
problems.

More Vets Landing
Government Jobs
The effort to put more veterans into
government jobs is paying off. John
Berry, director of the Office of Per-
sonnel Management, recently gave
a speech at the Veteran Employment
Symposium boot camp and gave
some of the preliminary statistics for
fiscal 2011:
Hiring percentages are at a 20-year
high, up 26 percent from last year and
24 percent over 2009. (Thats when an
Executive Order was issued, creating
the Veterans Employment Initiative.)
Out of 24 federal departments, 22
of them hired more veterans than they
did in 2009.
Out of those 24 departments, 23
of them hired more disabled veterans
than they did in 2009.
Veterans accounted for 29 percent
of new hires. That comes to 4.5 percent
over 2009 and 2.9 percent over 2010.
Not only that, but a pilot program
was approved during the meeting
to hire formerly homeless veterans,
starting soon. The programs will give
veterans a chance to work in various
departments in the government and
match job skills.
If youre unemployed or want a
government job, this is good news for
you. Go online to www.FedsHireVets.
gov and click Veteran, Transitioning
Service Member or Family Member,
depending on your circumstance. Yes,
even some family members (spouse,
widow/widower or mother of a vet-
eran) can be meet eligibility criteria.
Learn about Veterans Preference
(this can be confusing, as its not the
same as preference for federal civilian
employment) and how you qualify for
5 or 10 points in eligibility preference.
Be sure to read about Special Hiring
Authorities for Veterans. Certain other
qualifications, such as having a cam-
paign badge or a service medal for a
military operation, are extra items in
your favor.
To see the video of the speech Berry
gave, go to www.opm.gov and put
boot camp in the search box.

Heat Your Home Safely
If you plan to use a wood stove, freplace, or space heater, be
extremely careful. Follow the manufacturers instructions and
remember these safety
tips:
Use freplace, wood
stoves, or other combus-
tion heaters only if they
are properly vented to
the outside and do not
leak flue gas into the
indoor air space.
Do not burn paper in
a freplace.
Ensure adequate ven-
tilation if you must use a
kerosene heater.
Use only the type
of fuel your heater is
designed to usedont
substitute.
Do not place a space heater within 3 feet of anything that may
catch on fre, such as drapes, furniture, or bedding, and never
cover your space heater.
Never place a space heater on top of furniture or near water.
Never leave children unattended near a space heater.
Make sure that the cord of an electric space heater is not a
tripping hazard but do not run the cord under carpets or rugs.
Avoid using extension cords to plug in your space heater.
If your space heater has a damaged electrical cord or produces
sparks, do not use it.
Store a multipurpose, dry-chemical fre extinguisher near the
area to be heated.
Protect yourself from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning by
installing a battery-operated CO detector and never using genera-
tors, grills, camp stoves, or similar devices indoors.
tip of the week
By Jonathan Bennett
Frederick County Report
Allow me to say, I like bluegrass
music and I like tomatoes. Bear
with me.
Surely theres a place in the area
that has both, provided by a gen-
teel and welcoming couple who
will treat me like a familiar guest
on my frst visit to their market.
Oh, yeahthey gotta have a mar-
ket.
Still reading? Good.
Am I asking too much, want-
ing homegrown hothouses and
southern (well, Mason-Dixon-line
proximity) hospitality set against
a backdrop of banjos and lilting
vocal harmonies? Should I take
ofense when what friends I have
left look at me with bewildered
concern when I express these
longings? Hardly. As in most
scenarios where agricultural and
musical proclivity is matched
only by the tenacity to placate
said desires (surely Im not alone
in thisbut maybe I am), I will
have not only the last laugh, but
ripe homegrown tomatoes in the
middle of winter.
Just a couple miles past Route 37
on Route 522 outside (but still part
of ) Winchester is a place where I
found everything missing in my
life in that particular window of
time on that afternoon. David and
Linda Lay own and operate Lindas
Mercantile and Farm Market. Te
Lays are partners with Fruit Hill
Orchards, with whom they grow
and harvest about forty acres of
seasonal fruits and vegetables,
like tomatoes, sweet corn, lettuce,
cucumbers, apples, and diferent
kinds of berries. In addition to the
crops, the Mercantile also ofers
fowers and bedding plants, natu-
ral beef, local cofee, and baked
goods so scrumptious Im forced
to use that word.
Right now, weve got about a
quarter of an acre under plastic,
says David as he walks me through
their opaque greenhouses in
which lettuces, kale, andyes,
tomatoesare growing. I might
be the only guy around right now
picking this kind of thing, he says.
Hes probably right. Outside, it
feels like late December. Inside the
greenhouses, he keeps the temp a
balmy ffty-fve.
Inside the market, Linda is
busy making homemade biscuits
and pies to fll an order for a cus-
tomer. Aside from their recipes
for the baked goods, the Lays
also have their own formulas for
barbecue sauces, jams and jel-
lies, andketchup. We send the
ingredients to Gourmet Central
in Romney, she says, and they
use our recipes to make all this.
Maybe David noticed me lingering
over the shelf of diferent ketch-
ups, because he hands me a bottle
and tells me its on the house. I
was gonna buy some anyway, but
what kind of guest would I be to
turn down something thatsfree?
Nice gesture.
David sits down behind the
counter and clicks a computer

mouse a couple times and says,
You mentioned on the phone you
like music. Ever hear this? With
that, the sweet and easy sound of
bass and banjo and guitar drifts
out from speakers I dont see. Im
already impressed with the music,
then a siren song that seems to
be the hallmark of really talented
bluegrass singers begins. I listen.
Damn, I think but dont say. Ten
ask, Whos that?
Tats Linda, says David.
I turn to Linda, who is mixing
dough in a bowl, smirking coyly.
Yeah, thats me, she acknowl-
edges humbly. I grew up singing,
competing in festivals and compe-
titions. Im not surprised; Lindas
singing would give Alison Krauss a
run for her money (When she tells
me sang alongside Alison Krauss
when both were young musicians
making their names, I am, again,
not surprised.) The music Im
hearing is as good as any blue-
grass Ive heard, but has touches
of country and Cajun rhythms.
Teir band, Springfeld Exit, has
played up and down the east coast,
David tells me. We play a lot of
cover songs, a few originals. And
we hold jam sessions each sum-
mer. Tose weekly jam sessions,
planned ahead but impromptu in
practice, start in May of each year
and run the length of the season,
and are open to anyone with an
instrument or a voice wishing to
join in, or just hang out and listen.
Their next gig is at the George
Washington Hotel on Tursday,
January 12, and you can bet Ill be
there.
So. Homegrown produce?
Check. Unique condiments and
pastries? Yep. Top-shelf mountain
music? Indeed. I found it all in one
place. And, dear reader, so can
you.

Many people take advantage of
year-end automotive incentives to
trade in their cars for something
shiny and new. Theres a good
chance that incentives will be
even more enticing this season
thanks to events that occurred
in early 2011.
The earthquake and subse-
quent tsunami that ravaged Japan
in March 2011 impacted the
production and supply of many
vehicles. Furthermore, many
domestic cars are built or are
comprised from parts that are
made outside of their native
countries. Terefore, its not just
Japanese brands that have been
afected by extreme weather this
past year.
What this spells out in dollars
and cents to the average consumer
is the ability to save some money
on a new car simply because au-
tomotive retailers are looking to
move merchandise and recoup
some of the losses from earlier in
the year. Many automakers are
extending incentives until the frst
few months of 2012 to capitalize
on post-holiday spending. Some
industry experts predict low in-
terest rates, competitive rebates
and other wheeling and dealing
to attract customers. Although
the sales prices may be available,
customer interest might still be
tepid because of the ongoing re-
cession. However, there just may
be ample opportunity for those
with spending cash to save on a
new vehicle.
When heading to the dealer-
ship, keep these tips in mind.
* Know the invoice price on
the car by doing your research. It
will help you negotiate the lowest
price available.
* Dont appear too anxious to
buy a car at a particular dealer-
ship. Tell the salesperson youre
shopping around.
* Its best to negotiate for the
lowest total price of the car, NOT
the lowest payment. Sales strate-
gies often enable salespeople to
work the numbers to get you your
payment. But that could mean a
longer loan term, which would
raise the overall cost of the car
due to interest.
* Check out the safety re-
ports and crash test ratings of
the vehicle youre considering.
Also, research the resale value if
youre not planning on keeping
this car for a long time. It could
make a difference in the make
you select.
* While some dealerships may
not be open to negotiating price,
they may be ofering a low in-
terest rate, which can save you
money. Also, certain extras could
be included for no cost.
Now could be the time to see
record-low prices on vehicles as
dealerships try to move leftover
inventory and recover from the
slump in production caused by
last years tragic earthquake in
Japan.

By Jonathan Bennett
Te NFL season has come to
an end, and local fans are likely
having mixed reactions to the
results. Fans of the Washington
Redskins are likely disappointed
by the failed season that started
out so brightly. Local fans of the
Baltimore Ravens are celebrat-
ing their teams capture of the
AFC North Division title, a frst
round bye in the playoffs, and
homefeld advantage in that frst
playof game. Te many people
in Frederick County that can be
seen wearing the black and gold
of the Pittsburgh Steelers are also
likely happy with their teams fn-
ish and trip to the playofs, though
envious of the Ravens, who swept
them this year.
Te Redskins fnished their sea-
son at 5-11, a very disappointing
record for Coach Mike Shanahan
and his players who started the
season out very diferently. After
starting out the season at 3-1, the
Redskins seemed on the verge of
breaking out into a successful sea-
son. Ten the wheels came of and
disaster struck. Tey went on to
win only two of their next twelve
games, though they did defeat the
playof-bound New York Giants
twice during the season. Injuries
in particular seemed to take their
toll, and the Redskins and their
fans will now turn their attention
to the NFL draft in the spring,
where they will look to build for
the future.
Te Baltimore Ravens won the
AFC North Division largely on the
backs of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
who the Ravens defeated twice.
Tose two teams fnished with the
same record, but the Ravens own
the head-to-head tiebreaker, and it
was a valuable tie-breaker. It gives
the Ravens a week to rest their
team and a homefeld advantage
in the frst playof game. Tey will
only play on the road if they face
the New England Patriots in the
AFC Championship. Baltimore
takes to the playofs a very strong
team, with a typically Baltimore-
style stingy defense that is ranked
2nd in the NFL in stopping the
run. Teir quarterback, Joe Flacco
is undeniably an elite level quar-
terback when it comes to talent.
Now Flacco needs to prove he can
lead his team to wins in playof
games if he wants a Super Bowl
Ring.
Tat Ravens defense is led by
veteran Ray Lewis, who provides
invaluable leadership and inspira-
tion to his teammates. Stopping
the run is important in the winter
playof months, forcing quarter-
backs to throw in possibly bad
weather. In any event, the Ravens
are also ranked 4th in the NFL for
stopping the pass. Teir ofense
is less of a reason why they are
headed to a frst round bye and
they will need to address their
mediocre passing production if
they plan on moving on to the
Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh
Steelers face the Denver Bron-
cos next week and are beset by
injuries. Teir star running back,
Rashard Mendenhall, is out for the
season with a knee injury and their
quarterback Ben Roethlisbeger is
hobbling with a high ankle sprain
that would sideline most other
players. Despite the injuries,
Steelers fans take heart in know-
ing they have a veteran team with
stars like Troy Polamalu, and they
have deep trust in Roethlisberger,
who has proven himself with two
Super Bowl victories.
Teir defense is ranked 1st in
stopping the pass and are also
smothering when it comes to stop-
ping the run, though they will be
missing Safety Ryan Clark for their
game against Denver. He has a
sickle cell trait that does not allow
him to play in a high altitude like
Denver, indeed when he tried to
play in Denver before he almost
died. Coach Mike Tomlin took
the decision out of Clarks hands,
saying he wouldnt endanger his
well being for a game.
As the playoffs open some
residents of the Valley are already
looking to next year, hoping their
team can rebuild and that 2012
will be kinder than 2011 was.
Others, particularly Steelers and
Ravens fans are excited for the
playofs, and a rematch between
those two divisional foes is cer-
tainly possible in the second round
of the playofs. Tat game, which
would be played in Baltimore,
would be a hard-hitting fght to
the fnish: just the kind of game
Ravens and Steelers fans are used
toand love.
Redskins end a disappointing season
By Jonathan Bennett
Art can take on many forms.
Perhaps its a female dancer in
abstract watercolor, a subtle-to-
crashing symphony score, an epic
novel with no wasted words or
a doll made of discarded scarves
with a pickle-jar lid for a hat.
Like I saidanywhere.
Te Frederick County Habitat
for Humanity invites you to step
out of your cerebral comfort
zone for an unorthodox take on
what constitutes art. On March
17, 2012, H4H will present its
second annual Salvage Art Show
& Auction at the Museum of the
Shenandoah Valley. Te show is an
opportunity for both professional
and novice artists to display works
composed of salvaged materials,
primarily those found at their Re-
store, a home improvement ware-
house on Abrams Creek Drive
that sells new and used building
products. The possibilities are
limited only by contributors
imaginations; theres not much
thats of-limits as far as acceptable
materials, and aesthetic value is
perhaps paramount to any form
or function.
Since learning of this decidedly
offbeat celebration of journey-
man creativity, Ive unwittingly
developed a curiosity about the
artistic potential of random in-
animate objects, a curiosity that
I either didnt have before or one
unmasked by knowledge that such
a competition exists. Where to
fnd out more? And who does this
kind of thing, anyway?
Well, the competition is open
to everyone, really, but they com-
pete in two divisions says Joan
Beverly, Resource Development
Director for Habitat for Human-
ity in Winchester. Teres one for
novices and one for professionals,
and we had some fascinating en-
tries in our frst year. Last years
winner was a woman who makes
broaches and other jewelry from
recycled computer chips. Her
pieces really are beautiful. (Yet
another idea, I thought. If the
words are coming reluctantly
one evening, I can always smash
this keyboard apart and make a
QWERTY necklace with a used
window blind pull-string)
Anyway, as with any competitive
endeavor, a winner is determined
by meeting certain criteria, and
this one is no diferent. Tis being
a salvage art undertaking, each
piece must include at least one
piece of material...well, salvaged.
From where? Its important to
remember that the salvaged ma-
terial doesnt necessarily have to
come from the Restore, Joan says.

We have had a 6 week Art Class program
throughout the summer which has been a great
success!! Te last session began Aug. 9th and
theresponse had been heart warming and great
fun, says Annette Tait (Art Director). I have
enjoyed meeting more residents of Front Royal
asI ama transplant from Northern Virginia.
We began classes July 5th 2011 in the Great
Room at Loving Arms with 4 students. Since then
the classes have grown, 10-12 individuals. We hada
variety of levels including one participant who has
had her work in Juried Art Show!!
Our main focus is on graphite (pencil sketches),
watercolor, watercolor pencils, pen and ink and
mixed media.
Tis new venture at Loving Arms has been a
huge success with the original 4 students bringing
a friend and spreading the word. We are having a
great time with lots of good conversation, laughs,
along with producing some impressive art work.
Chef Patrick even brought in some goodies for

Frames at the Restore. Take out the old pictures, put in
your new creations, or use the frames themselves to make
something original.
But there is an incentive to use
stuf from the Restore; with each
twenty-dollar entry fee, a voucher
for the same amount is made avail-
able to use for items in the shop.
Ten, skilldoes the piece refect

artistic vision? Next, original-
ityhow the %$#@ did they come
up with this? Finally, composition.
Will thewhatever it is, will it
last? Is it assembled in such a way
as to not fall apart on the ride
home? Unless its supposed to, in
which case, its a unique, skillfully
composedhouse of used cards.
So far we know the who, what,
when, and where. But why partici-
pate? Maybe you have an inordi-
nate number of shoestrings and
old lampshades lying around. Even
more plausible is the notion that
you want to support Winchester
Habitat for Humanity and the fact
that the proceeds from the Salvage
Art Show go toward building af-
fordable homes right here in our
community. If you win, the gravy
is that you will be featured in a
spring issue of Valley Homes and
Style Magazine (hello, exposure).
So gather up some hand-towel
racks and surplus foor tiling and
adhesive and enter the Salvage
Art Show. Even if your creation
doesnt take frst prize, youll still
be supporting a good cause. And if
I see a replica of Te Tinker made
of towel racks and tile and Gorilla
Glue, Ill know someone read this
and stole my idea.

Perhaps snatching public relations defeat from the jaws of a potential
Iowa victory, Texas Congressman Ron Pauls verifed Twitter account
caused quite a distraction tonight by posting the following about Repub-
lican rival and former U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman.
@jonhuntsman we found your one Iowa voter, hes in Linn precinct 5 you
might want to call him and say thanks
Huntsman is sitting out the Iowa caucuses and setting his sights on next
weeks New Hampshire primary.
We frst learned about this on the social network Google+ from a post
by popular user Linda Lawrey who has over 340,000 followers.
Shortly after Lawreys post the Paul campaign deleted the Tweet. Ten
a few minutes later it was posted again.
No ofcial word yet from the Paul or Huntsman campaigns.
Ron Paul campaign Tweets, deletes, re-Tweets
cheap shot against Jon Huntsman
By Jonathan Bennett
Virginia and its Republican
party stand at the center of a con-
troversy that could prove crucial
in the later stages of the race for
the Republican nomination for
President of the United States, if
that race is still competitive when
Marchs primary rolls around.
Several candidates, all of whom
are aiming for the conservative
base that will likely show its
strength in a Republican primary,
will not be allowed to appear on
the ballot because they did not
turn in the required number of
signatures. Virginia front-runner
Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and
Michele Bachmann are protesting
loudly that the number of signa-
tures required and several other
strict rules involved set the bar
much too high and they point out
that the requirements are much
stricter than most other states in
the nation.
Whether the absence of these
names will matter is a question
that can only be answered when
we know if the race will still be
competitive by the primary day in
March. If Rick Perry, a southern
governor, is still competing for the
nomination he would likely fnd
voters sympathetic to his positions
and rhetoric, and the same can
be said of Bachmann. Newt Gin-
grich, who lives in Virginia, has
even more possibilities of success
here. Teir absence from the bal-
lot, therefore, could efect the race
in an important way, particularly
with the primary taking place on
so-called Super Tuesday when
a large collection states will hold
their primaries and caucuses.
However, despite the fact that
the requirements are unusually
strict, it is possibly a sign of dys-
function in these three campaigns
that the bar wasnt reached. Ron
Paul and Mitt Romney, the only
two names on the Virginia ballot,
were able to get there because of
their superior organization. It
does not say much about the or-
ganizing ability and efciency of
these campaigns that they could
not gather the signatures for an
important Super Tuesday contest.
Tat lack of attention to Virginia
is surprising and in stark contrast
to a President who is already cam-
paigning in the Old Dominion.
The inability to gather the
signatures may speak volumes
about the current state of these
three campaigns, but the debate
over the number of signatures will
likely continue. Te absence on
the ballot of candidates who are
running serious campaigns for the
most important elected ofce in
the world strikes many people as
an impediment to the democratic
process. While the rules were
known to all campaigns, it would
seem that the average Virginia
voter is being hurt in this process,
as these serious candidates will
not be spending precious time and
money in Virginia if their names
are not on the ballot. Not to men-
tion the agony for TV stations who
wont get all that usual ad money
and the jobs lost to potential and
current political feld operatives.
When Super Tuesday rolls
around, Mitt Romney may well
have wrapped the nomination up
in the early states. Ron Paul may
still be leading his revolution and
bring his energy-driven campaign
to Virginia. But if Rick Perry or
Newt Gingrich want to win the
Republican nomination, they will
have to do it without Virginias
delegates, something that their
campaigns should not be proud
of.

Winter Reading Program
Events in January at Handley
Regional Library
Handley Regional Librarys Youth Services librarians will pres-
ent an informational program for parents at Bowman Library on
Tuesday evening, January 24 from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. Reading To-
gether and being involved in what the kids are reading helps them
in school while also reinforcing the joy of reading. And reading
together doesnt have to stop once the kids can read on their own.
Reading anythingcomics, poems, graphic novels, magazines, or
booksout loud together is a great way to spend time with older
kids and teens.
Many times knowing where to start is all that is needed. Te re-
gional systems librarians will share books and reading techniques.
Recommended book lists will be available for all ages of children
(birth through teen). Te librarians will share information also
about the national program, Every Child Ready to Read.
Is there a hooting owl in the story? Does the child cry? Does the
dog dance? Books ofer opportunities to make animal sounds.
Parents can imitate childrens voices and move the book and their
bodies and feet.
Techniques for bringing stories alive through the use of expressive
voices and music will certainly be part of the experience. Parents
will leave with lots of ideas to put to use immediatelyperhaps
at bedtimea great time for Reading Together.

and new readers will have an opportunity to read to a good lis-
tenera specially trained dogand share a story. Tis Paws-for-

The white rhinoceros is not actually

white. Te white part of the name comes
from the Afrikaans word wijd, which
means wide; it describes the animals
lips.

Are Your Medications
Right for You?
Are you taking a PIM? Tats a Poten-
tially Inappropriate Medication. New
research at Cornell University revealed
that 38 percent of seniors getting home
health care are taking medications that
arent efective or safe, or arent appropri-
ate for seniors.
The study, reported in the Journal
of General Internal Medicine, says that
those who receive home care are three
times more likely to be prescribed an
inappropriate medication. Being in a
nursing home can result in 50 percent of
patients getting at least one PIM.
Many of us take multiple medica-
tions (the average is 11) prescribed by
a number of doctors, and therein can
lie the problem if someone isnt keeping
an eye on possible drug interactions. If
a patient is taking 15 or more diferent
medications, the risk is fve times higher
that one of those is inappropriate.
The risk seems to drop the most
for those who actually go in to see the
doctor.
Te suggested resolution to the prob-
lem is to add a safety mechanism in the
form of having a medical professional
actually come in to check all the medi-
cations. (Tere are 77 medications we
shouldnt take, according to the study.)
All of this is a bit mind-boggling. At my
local pharmacy, the prescriptions come
with a leafet that tells about possible drug
interactions, but before it even gets to the
point where patients are handed the bag
with their prescription, the pharmacist
himself would have piped up and said
something. Ive even seen him place a call
to the doctors ofce to verify and warn
them of a possible problem.
If youre given a new prescription, ASK
about potential interactions with other
drugs you take.

Salt & Pepper Shakers
Q:
Several weeks ago, I found a
pair of salt and pepper shak-
ers at a flea market. The set was
made by the U.S. Glass Company,
and the pattern, in dark amethyst,
seems to be California. I paid
$25, and the condition is good to
excellent. Robert, Lyons, N.Y.
A:
Your set was made in about
1900 and probably would
retail in the $135 to $150 range. The
U.S. Glass Company was actually a
consolidation of more than a dozen
companies, all based in Pittsburgh.
Although it went into receivership
in 1907, several of the companies
continued to produce ware for sev-
eral more decades. The rare amethyst
color is one of the factors that makes
your salt and pepper shakers particu-
larly valuable.

Q:
My dad played in several big
bands as a sideman through-
out the 1930s. He appeared on
numerous recordings, and he is
missing at least a dozen cuts he is
certain he did. Needless to say, I am
scrambling to track down the origi-
nal 78-rpm issues. Can you help
me? Steve, Binghamton, N.Y.
A:
Tracking down older record-
ings can sometimes be diffi-
cult. It is becoming hard to find 78s
even in thrift shop. Part of this is
because most people have discarded
the turntables on which to play older
recordings.
One of the better vintage music
stores is Richard Gesners The Music
Connection, 1711 South Willow
St., Manchester, NH 03103. This is
one of New Englands largest music
stores and is a full-service business.
For example, the inventory includes
steel Victrola needles, paper sleeves
for 16-, 33-, 45- and 78-rpm record-
ings, cylinders, cassettes, compact
discs and even 8-track tapes. It also
maintains a customer want list.
Another source that might be help-
ful is Record Finder, P.O. Box 23060,
Glen Allen, VA 23060.

Q:
I have an elderly friend

leather. Who can I contact to find
out what this collection is worth?
Lettie, Albuquerque, N.M.
A:
The New Mexico postcard
club meets about every month
in Albuquerque. The contact person
is Nancy Tucker, thesandiakid@

Adopting Dogs
From Puppy Mills
DEAR PAWS CORNER: My
family would like to adopt a shelter
dog, and a recent news story about
several dogs rescued from horrible
conditions in a puppy mill facility
really captured our hearts. Howev-
er, the shelter caring for these dogs
is not immediately putting them up
for adoption, and it says there will
be stricter requirements for those
who want to adopt them. Why is
this? Karl in South Florida
DEAR KARL: Many shelter pets
come with their own special set of
behavioral quirks, often due to the
stress and trauma of being abandoned
at a shelter. But dogs (and cats and oth-
er pets) that suffer especially traumatic
situations, such as abuse or starvation
or neglect, can have a very difficult
time adapting to home life.
Because of this, many shelters have
developed special policies regarding
these rescues. As you found, the pup-
py-mill dogs were not immediately put
up for adoption; theyre being treated
and evaluated. Some may never be
considered safe to adopt.
Once dogs are considered healthy
enough to adopt, the shelter is follow-
ing guidelines to make their transition
to a new home as smooth as possible.
For instance, it may not allow a pup-
py-mill rescue to go to a home that
has kids under age 10. First-time pet
owners will likely be discouraged or
outright not allowed to adopt. Adopt-
ers may need to attend special classes,
and the shelter may ask to make fol-
low-up visits to the dogs new home.
Many rescues need a great deal
of one-on-one attention, love and
patience. If youre an experienced
dog owner, meet the guidelines and
are willing to take on the challenge of
rehabilitating a rescued dog, go for it.
But if youre not sure, then consider
very carefully whether your family is
ready to care for a rescued pet.
