No bull: Wild West Festival No. 30 a big hit By Natalie gentry According to everyone involved, this year’s 30th Annual Wild West Festival was a great success. The morning started off at a pleasant 73 degrees as almost 200 vendors, concessions, and children’s area booths were set up. There was a little something for everybody including cowboy hats, jewelry, clothing, home decor, skin care, homemade soaps, wood crafts, sauces and jellies among others. Michelle Deweese, assistant at the Chamber, pointed out that the success of the event every year is due to the volunteers from the Chamber, its board of directors, the community, churches, and area businesses. “It’s really just unbelievable how they come together for the Wild West Festival,” Deweese said. “Many get up at 5 a.m., work all day in the heat and don’t leave until late in the evening – it’s a lot of work.” One of those volunteers has worked ceaselessly each year since the event’s inception 30 years ago. Mary Harms has been so devoted to the event that she’s earned the nickname “Queen Mary” Deweese said. Tried and true The event kicked off with the annual parade. Although there wasn’t a competition for the parade entries this year, there was no shortage of participants. “We had more than 70 entries of all kinds,” said Springtown Chamber of Commerce Director, Amy Walker. “It was our biggest parade ever!”

As always, the World Famous “Wheelie-ing Elvi” mini-motorcyclists were crowd pleasers, with their bejeweled jumpsuits and Elvis Presley-like pompadour hairdos. In addition to the parade, certain events are Wild West Festival staples. The “Legends of Texas” gunfighters always draw a crowd with their combination of Western wit and physical hijinks. Three times during the day, the classic Old West archetypes of a coolheaded lawman, a bumbling deputy, and conniving bandits were used to draw in bystanders and place the crowd in the middle of a John Wayneesque gunfight. As always, the newly dubbed “John Conway Children’s Area” was packed all day as well. “There were kids everywhere,” Walker said. “They were having a great time on the huge slide, mechani- A fiddler leads old soldiers during the Wild West Festival’s parade.

A noteworthy accomplishment The Tabernacle Square improvement project is a finalist in the TDA’s Best Public Improvement category, which recognizes excellence in public projects and planning in downtowns or commercial districts throughout Texas. Other finalists in this category include Cuero’s Downtown Beautification Project and Ganado’s Downtown Improvement Project. Winners will be announced on Nov. 6 at the Presidents Awards Luncheon held in conjunction with the 2014 Texas Downtown Development and Revitalization Conference in Granbury. The TDA is an independent, statewide nonprofit organization comprised of over 430 members, involved in downtown and commercial district revitalization projects. TDA provides resources to members through networking opportunities, marketing, education, and advocacy to achieve community goals.

An anticipated $14,600 of street maintenance tax revenue should be raised if the Reno citizens vote for the return of a 1/4 percent (one-fourth of one percent) street maintenance sales tax in the Nov. 4 special election. “It’s important for the citizens of Reno to know that this is not a new tax,” said Mayor Lynda Stokes. “We are reinstating a tax, and to do so we must put it on the ballot.” “This sales tax will, in fact,

help lighten the burden on the citizens,” she continued. “Anyone (even non-residents) purchasing items or services from a Reno business will be contributing to the maintenance and repairs of our roads.” VFD fees The voluntary $5 per month donation for the Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) will be replaced by a $5 per month Public Safety Surcharge. According to Mayor Stokes, less than a quarter of a percent of citizens have been paying the $5 VFD donations. “Our VFD can’t operate on less than one fourth of a percent participation from our residents,” she said The surcharge will generate approximately $51,000 annually and will be offset by a matching expense account for public safety services.

Walker seems confident that the Wild West Festival will continue to get better with age. “There are always a few things that we can do better and we will make notes to address those issues, but I visit several festivals a year and I truly believe ours is one of the The Reno City Council recently approved the proposed operating budget for the 2014best!” 2015 fiscal year.

Bummed out about jolly good toilet paper TV ads?

hings keep on a-changing. Modern Library’s Greatest Book of the 20th Century, Ulysses by James Joyce, was banned for decades. Back in the day, the word “pregnant” could not be uttered on TV. On the radio, “Louie, Louie” was banned mainly because parents in 1963 – hearing the most popular version, by the Kingsmen – thought their children were being told vile things through the lyrics. Even though the “obscene” words were anything but, parents – and the FBI! – were sure the

song could not possibly just be about a man at sea pining for a girl. Spouses Rob and Laura Petrie and Lucy and Ricky Ricardo had to sleep in separate beds on The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy. I remember being startled when David Letterman uttered “*ss” – as in “jawbone of an...” – on TV late one night. Today, all those one-time horrifying things are tame. But there’s one subject going around ON YOUR today that’s still hard to get behind: MARK the proliferation of toilet paper comMark K. Campbell mercials. Charmin’s happy bears suggest we

“enjoy the go” as in “We all go; why not enjoy the go?” Also: “It’s good for your bottom and your bottom line.” Somehow, I can not see Mr. Whipple uttering these lines. Cottonelle has ramped up the issue by encouraging

people to use wipes. A cheery lady with a British accent says, “Let’s talk about your bum.” Their Facebook page has 389,846 likes. And their Twitter account proffers “parties” on subjects like “Tell All From Inside the Stall.” The company is pitching flushable cleansing cloths. After all, if your baby’s behind is good enough for a wipe, yours should be, too. Cottonelle’s bottom line is trying to make a major culture shift – “one bum at a time” – and that ain’t easy. Not everyone is infatuated with hearing about bathroom habits being heralded by a happy Brit. Comments

on the commercials range from “garbage” to “disgusting.” I understand that old people wish it was still 1953 when the world was so much better, when kids could ride bikes, and neighbors baked pies, and people didn’t talk about their bathroom habits on TV. (Here comes my big but...) BUT what’s wrong with making life a little easier? Like the Kingsmen said: “We gotta go now!” Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and that Kingsman’s album was one of the first LPs he ever bought.

ebruary 29. Before daybreak, we saw General Sesma leave his camp with a large body of cavalry and infantry, and move off in the direction of Goliad. We think that he must have received news of Colonel Fanning’s coming to our relief. We are all in high spirits at the prospect of being able to give the rascals a fair shake on the plain. The business of being shut up makes a man wolfish. I had a little sport this morning before breakfast. The enemy had planted a piece of ordnance within gun-shot of the fort during the night, and the first thing in the morning they commenced a brisked cannonade, point blank, against the spot where I was snoring. I turned out pretty smart and mounted the rampart. The gun was charged again, a fellow stepped forth to touch her off, but before he could apply the match, I

let him have it, and he keeled over. A second stepped up, snatched the match from the hand of the dying man, but Thimblerig, who had followed me, handed me his rifle, and the next instant the Mexican was stretched on the earth beside the first. A third came up to the cannon, my companion handed me another gun, and I fixed him off in like manner. A fourth, then a fifth, seized the match, who both met with the same fate, and then the whole party gave it up as a bad job, and hurried off to the camp, leaving the cannon ready charged where they planted it. I came down, took my bitters, and went to breakfast. Thimblerig told me that the place from which I had been firing was one of the snuggest stands in the whole fort, for he never failed picking off two or three stragglers before breakfast, when perched up there. And I recollect, now having seen him there, ever since he was wounded,

even among its protecting branches we find the egle, the kite, and the owl preying upon the helpless dove and sparrow. Beneath its shades myriads congregate in goodly fellowship; but the lamb and the fawn find but frail security from the lion and the jackal, though the tree of independence waves over them. Some imagine independence to be a natural charter, to exercise without restraint, and to their fullest extent, all the energies, both physical and mental, with which they have been endowed; and for their individual aggrandizement alone, without regard to the rights of others, provided they extend to all the same privilege and freedom of action. Such independence is the worst of tyranny. Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown. He is the director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

Davis, Abbott answer questions in McAllen

ith less than six week s u n t i l election day on Nov. 4, the first of two scheduled gubernatorial debates was held in the Rio Grande Valley city of Edinburg on Sept. 19. Democratic Party nominee for governor Wendy Davis, a state senator from Fort Worth, and Republican Party gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott, Texas attorney general, fielded questions from Carlos Sanchez, editor of The Monitor, a daily newspaper in McAllen, and Telemundo’s McAllen news anchor Dalila Garza. Abbott and Davis responded to questions for 60

minutes on topics such as border security, economic development, education and education funding, abortion and visions of the future. On education, Abbott said, “I want to put our trust where it belongs, and that is with our teachers, and get all these onesize-fits-all mandates from Austin, Texas, off the backs of our teachers.” Davis said she voted against legislation that cut $5.4 billion from the state education budget and that Abbott has been defending those cuts in court ever since they were passed and those cuts have led to overcrowded classrooms and teacher layoffs, and shortchanged school children.

Ladies earn another set of victories

District starts Friday at home by mark k. campbell Two more volleyball wins put the Lady Porcupines safely over .500 as district play finally nears. Springtown (16-14) recovered from a slow start to beat Krum 3-1. SHS lost the opening match, 16-25 but bounced back to win 25-19, 25-22, 27-25. Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We played much better. Our defense hustled and pursued balls that we haven’t gotten before. “Everyone played well.” That included standout senior Brooklyn Dauenhauer who lead her teammates with 17 kills. She also impressed with 21 digs, 14 assists, and 3 aces. Kaitlyn Hill’s 5 aces stymied Krum. SHS piled up 98 digs, including 22 from Mackensie Martin and 21 by Kendyl Dean. Springtown blocked 7 balls with Ashton Weaver getting

credit for 2.5 of them. In the final tune-up before district begins against Castleberry Friday, Sept. 26, SHS swept Breckenridge 25-12, 2514, 25-18. Martin served 4 aces while Weaver and Sydney Farris had 2 apiece. Lady Porcupine leader Brooklyn Dauenhauer (6) swats a ball past a pair of leaping Krum would-be blockers. PLEASE SEE JV, PAGE 11A.

With break over, SHS Porcupines head to Vernon

Contest a triple dead heat Of all the weeks in the football contest – 11 of them – the one that ran last week was likely the toughest. That’s because an open date for the Porcupines forces the selection of games that many contestants are probably not too familiar with. So someone predicting every game correctly is impressive. And three prognosticators getting every game right is downright freaky. But that’s what happened last week. The tie-breaker of Dallas 34, St. Louis 31 (45) decided who got what cash. Yet even that didn’t sort things out – a pair of contestants guessed the same on the tie-breaker. So, with predictions of 48 each, Woody Young and Eddy Swanzy won the combined first and second place cash, earning $15 each. Despite a perfect card, James Franklin had to settle for third Ryan Snow and the Porcupines, off an off week, will motor to distant Vernon for a non-district clash with the Lions. Photo by Mark K.

by mark k. campbell Off weeks allow for recovery and, for new Springtown football coach Brian Hulett, several more days to get his Porcupines more accustomed to him and his staff. The Porcupines (2-1) smashed Wichita Falls Hirschi 51-29 on Homecoming Sept. 12. Then came the off week. Now, there is no more rest. Non-district action resumes when Springtown takes a long trip to Vernon, 142 miles and more than 2 hours northwest. Awaiting there are the 2-2 Lions. Vernon lost its first two games – at state-ranked Graham, 45-21, and at Altus, Oklahoma 20-13. When the Lions won in week three, it was big. Running back Isaiah Love ran for almost 400 yards in a 41-7 blowout of Burkburnett. Last week, Vernon beat the same Hirschi squad the Porcupines took down earlier; VHS

The SHS JV beat Dublin 2-0 behind 7 kills from Jazz Mannin and 6 from Raynee Henderson. Karrah Cooper dug out 22 balls in a loss to Krum. Taylor Keith served 3 aces.

Racers compete in Fort Worth Ladies speed CC Results around WESTERN HILLS COUGAR INVITATIONAL Fort Worth 2-mile course September 20, 2014 Another race and more improvement from the Springtown High School cross country teams. Competing in the Western Hills Cougar Invitational in Fort Worth, every Porcupine ran a personal best, coach Trent Davis said. The varsity girls ran in a two-mile race for the first time – previous meets had the Lady Porcupines going three miles – and all posted times under 15 minutes. Sharaia Stout beat everyone to the finish line, in 14 minutes 11 seconds. SHS won the event, officially. The girls junior varsity finished fifth as Hanna Phares paced the SHS JV. For the boys, Richard Najera again proved to be the team leader. His time of 19:21 in the threemile race led all Porcupines. Carson Croft and Eric White crossed the line nine seconds apart. After competing for four consecutive weeks, Springtown racers will take a week off before heading to a race in Decatur that’s an annual pre-district challenge for many local squads – The Assault on Eagle Summit at Decatur High School, famed for some substantial hills near DHS. That race is Oct. 4.

Springtown Middle School Volleyball The 8th A (2-0) took down Highland, 25-8, 20-25, 25-4. “We served them off the court in the first and third sets,” coach Ashley Watson said. “They served us off the court in the second set.” Charisma Jones paced SMS with 17 points, 4 aces. She also dug out a team-high 22 balls. Khloe Smith led with 7 kills. Addison Farris had 5 assists. That second set loss was “upsetting” the coach said because “these girls have never lost a set

in middle school until this game.” Coach Watson added that she was glad to see her squad overcome that. The 8th B (2-0) fought off Highland, 25-15, 23-25, 25-10. The match mirrored the A’s match, Coach Watson said. The B won sets 1 and 3 easily but got too comfortable in 2. Deven Triggs led hitters with 6 kills. Taylor Cox was deemed the top player with 15 points (4 aces), 13 positive sets, and 17 digs.

Movie Man

Thursday, September 25, 2014

Some call it Maze: YA film kind of corny late Trends in Hollywood are always copied. When teens flocked to Young Adult (YA) novel adaptations thanks to Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games, the rush was on. Yet, fickle teenagers have turned their collective noses up at most of the latest YA cinematic efforts. About the film The list of misfires is long, including the still in theaters (if you hurry) The Giver as well as recent releases like Beautiful Creatures, The Host, and The Mortal Instruments. A couple with sequel possibilities have been decent successes, but they were not monster breakouts as hoped. Ender’s Game (2013, Movie Man No. 1060, a 6) and Divergent weren’t giant hits but could get sequels – the latter for sure (Insurgent, currently set for March 20, 2015; Divergent took in $151 million in America – the Movie Man skipped Divergent for 300: Rise of an Empire [MM #1079, 7]), the former maybe. Still, the YA wave could be fading. It’s too early to tell if The Maze Runner’s $32-plus million dollar take in its first week will be enough to inspire further adaptations. However, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 will be massive (it could reel in Guardians of the Galaxy [which should end up around $340 million] as the biggest movie of 2014). That, and a good showing by next year’s Insurgent might be enough to keep the YA trend going. One negative aspect for YA movies is that they don’t perform well worldwide. Unlike action movies, a lukewarm U.S. reception to a teen film bodes poorly for overseas take; however, even a “bomb” action film takes in big money elsewhere. For example, The Expend-

ables 3 has made just $38.9 million so far this summer; it’ll likely peak at $40 million. But internationally, the film has taken in another $150.1 million. So The Expendables 4 might show up well before Ender’s Game 2. The plot (spoiler) Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) awakens to find himself in a rising metal mesh elevator. When it stops, several young men, in their teens and early 20’s, peer down at him. O’Brien does not know why he’s there or even his name. He learns from the group’s leader, Alby (Ami Ameen), that he is the monthly arrival from the mysterious elevator, along with some supplies. Ameen explains that a group of males lives and survives in “the glade” that’s completely surrounded by a massive wall. One part of the wall opens daily and contains a gigantic, changing maze. The group survives by taking specific jobs, farmers, shelter-builders, etc. The elite job is “runner” – speedy dudes who race through the maze, mapping it, and making sure they return by nightfall. Monstrous creatures patrol the twists and turns at night and no “glader” has ever lived through the night in the maze. O’Brien earns the respect of most of his mates with a brave act and earns the honor of becoming a runner. Then something happens that has never occurred to the boys before – a girl arrives in the elevator, clutching a note that says she will be the last person sent. When O’Brien kills one of the maze monsters, a “griever,” a metallic “key” is found inside it. He determines that the way to the group’s salvation is to enter the maze and use the key at the appropriate

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man part of the maze, No. 7. Not everyone agrees, especially when grievers leave that maze and ravage the glade, and some, led by tough guy Gally (Will Poulter), refuse to enter the maze. Grievers descend on the group inside as they struggle to get to No. 7. They succeed but find something they did not expect. Then something else they didn’t expect. Then, a final twist that sets up a sequel. What works Early on, The Maze Runner is very effective and mysterious. Figuring out what’s going on is fun then. (But also see What doesn’t work.) O’Brien is good as the confused guy who keeps having queer dreams that hold the key to what’s up. There’s not a lot of computer generation here, and that’s OK. The maze is cool and so are the grievers. The soundtrack gives away clues that the critters aren’t what they seem and point to a not very surprising twist late. (The aural tactic was used to much greater effect in the unfairly maligned Vanilla Sky [2001, MM #434, 6].) The Movie Man was distressed initially that O’Brien sure figures things out easily; how did he know the metallic cylinder was a key?

And why should they enter No. 7 where gladers know that’s where all the grievers are? Then one of the twist endings made it make a little more sense. That was a nice move. Best scene The escaping group has maneuvered through the maze and battled several grievers to get to No. 7. A coded door is opened and they enter into a long hallway. That leads to a small door that simply reads, “Exit.” After all they’ve been through, one of the gladers says, “Seriously?” at the obviousness of it all. That was the best (and lone) chuckle

in the movie. What doesn’t work (spoiler) The characters are fuzzy, and the female, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), whose role is vital, kind of disappears. The initial twist is so obvious (hint: the best horror movie of the last 10 years, The Cabin in the Woods [MM #978, 8] got there first two years ago) that it feels like an insult. There is such a horrible cliché in the movie that it got docked a point. It’s the ol’ take-a-bullet-for-the-leaderbut-ask-him-to-deliver-yourbeloved-homemade-trinketto-your-parents-as-you-die bit. It’s unintentionally funny. The greatest crime is the blatant way The Maze Runner sets up its sequel hopes; a character literally says as the movie’s last line that now it’s time for “phase two.” The final 10 minutes are horribly cliché and a bummer.

meets Lost. It started great and petered out. But the Movie Man would pop into a sequel – if it happens. Next up The Equalizer with the great Denzel Washington. After that, here’s what the Movie Man is looking at (plan accordingly, knowing things might change): Gone Girl (Oct. 3); Dracula Untold (Oct. 10); Fury (Oct. 17 [it has a great trailer]); Kingsman: The Secret Service (Oct. 24); Nightcrawler (Oct. 31): and Interstellar (Nov. 7, the Movie Man’s most anticipated movie of 2014).

Our national anthem turns 200 by mark k. campbell The British were bombing Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor on Sept. 13, 1814. Already in the War of 1812, the invaders had burned the U.S. Capitol, the Treasury Building, and the presidential home. Now, watching The Battle of Baltimore from sea, Francis Scott Key, an attorney and amateur poet, was sure the British were about to claim another victory. For 25 hours, Fort McHenry was pounded relentlessly while Key sat in his ship in the harbor, watched over by enemy

vessels. He had boarded British boats earlier, trying to negotiate for the release of a captured surgeon. The attack was so fierce that Key said, “It seemed as though mother earth had opened and was vomiting shot and shell in a sheet of fire and brimstone.” Dawn neared, and Key was certain the Union Jack would be flying over Fort McHenry. But it was not. At “the dawn’s early light,” the American flag still flew; no surrender was made and the British retreated.

Pen to paper at sea Key started writing his poem on the back of a letter while still on his ship. He put his words to a then-popular English tune, “The Anacreontic Song.” His brother-in-law, a commander at Fort McHenry, read it, passed it out among his men, and had it published in the Baltimore Patriot newspaper as “Defence of Fort M’Henry.” Soon, with a new title – “The Star-Spangled Banner” – the poem was printed across America. While Key might have borrowed a phrase from Shakespeare – who twice used “star”

‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ began as a poem

and “spangled” together in plays – it was Key who came up with “In God We Trust” in verse four: Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’ Today, In God We Trust adorns our currency. Becoming an anthem It took some doing to make “The Star-Spangled Banner” our national anthem. The tune was adopted by the North during the Civil War, along with “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” (The South sang “Dixie.”) In the late 1800’s, the military used the song for ceremonial purposes. By 1917, the army and navy played “The Star-Spangled Banner” at all ceremonies. Other patriotic songs were popular – “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and “Hail, Columbia” especially. But, a move was underway in America to make “The StarSpangled Banner” the official national anthem. However, it took decades. President Woodrow Wilson had signed an order naming the song the national anthem for military ceremonies in 1916. But the tune was still not considered universally as the nation’s anthem. Politically, no fewer than 40 attempts at getting it so designated failed. Finally, Congress got it done, on March 3, 1931, and Presi- Old Glory survived a vicious bombing by the British dent Herbert Hoover signed it that inspired the anthem.

they arise. Blowouts Worn tire treads increase the risk of punctures, which can lead to blowouts. Bald tires also may blowout as a result of friction on roadways that is met with minimal rubber. Getting caught on the side of the road with a tire blowout can be a hassle, so routinely check tire treads and replace tires accordingly. Tread depth Average new tires on cars usually start with 10/32 inch to 11/32 inch of original tread depth. When tread reaches a depth of 2/32 inch, they are considered worn out. There are different ways to gauge tread depth. Insert a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it is time to replace the tires. Another coin test is to insert a quarter into the groove.

If the tread touches Washington’s head, you have at least 4/32 inch of tread left. Don’t have any currency on hand? Then look at the treadwear indicator bar molded into the tires. When these bars become flush with the adjacent ribs of the tire, the tires should be replaced. Alignment According to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, improper alignment causes rapid or uneven treadwear. Tires should be aligned and balanced periodically to avoid irregular wear and having to replace tires prematurely. Tread pattern Tires feature different tread patterns depending on the brand of tire. They may be directional, asymmetrical, nondirectional, and directional/asymmetrical. When purchasing replacement

tires, it is adviseable to match the tread pattern to the existing tires. This helps enhance the performance of the car. In fact, some newer cars require tread to match. Mismatched treads may cause problems with transmission shifting or impact control and steadiness. Tire pressure Underinflation of tires can cause failure, stress and irregular wear. Underinflated tires also may contribute to loss of control that leads to accidents. Always maintain the manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct pressure, which should be adjusted based on the temperature. Tires should undergo the same inspection and maintenance as other parts of the vehicle. Tires are a vital component to safe driving, and routine maintenance can prevent accidents and other problems.

Restoring headlights can dramatically improve visibility The road can be unpredictable, and many things can compromise driver safety. Though some of these things, like smartphones and loud music, are easily avoided distractions, some safety risks require a little more effort to overcome. Such is the case with cloudy headlights. Cloudy headlights can compromise a driver’s vision, putting motorists and their passengers at risk of accident and injury. Though it’s easy to overlook headlights when performing routine vehicle maintenance, drivers should know that, as headlights age, they become discolored and develop a hazy or yellowed appearance due to exposure to the sunlight, pollution, ozone and chemicals used in car washes. As headlights become increasingly hazy, they emit less light and glare increases significantly. “Driving with headlights that have become clouded over

time leaves drivers vulnerable to risky driving conditions,” said Ann-Marie Hines, Senior Marketing Manager of Philips Automtoive. “These dim headlights function improperly for drivers, limiting the amount of light on the road, and actually dramatically increase the glare that other drivers see.” Fortunately, ensuring optimal headlight performance can be relatively simple and dramatically improve visibility, ensuring the safety of drivers and their passengers. * Clean headlights before driving in inclement weather. Drivers know to clean their windshields before hitting the road in snowstorms, but few drivers exercise the same caution with their headlights. Salt from snowy roads or debris blown about from seasonal winds can accumulate on headlight lenses, decreasing their effectiveness and light output

as a result. So before hitting the road in inclement weather, be sure to remove any dirt or film from headlight lenses that might have built up over time. * Address headlight issues before they appear. Though headlights will inevitably wear down over time, drivers can still take preventative measures to improve the performance of their headlights so their visibility is not compromised. The Philips Headlight Restoration Kit includes a pre-treatment that provides long-lasting UV protection for headlight lenses. Thanks to the kit, which also includes a cleaner/polish and restorer/protector, drivers can restore a headlight lens in as little as 30 minutes. Drivers hesitant to perform their own restoration can calm their nerves by taking advantage of a short how-to video that shows motorists how to restore headlight lens clarity in a matter of min-

utes. The video, which can be found at www.philipsautolighting.com/headlightkit, can help drivers restore their headlights to “like new” quality while increasing visibility and reducing glare. * Replace headlight bulbs. Much like light bulbs used in a home, headlight bulbs tend to wear down over time. Humidity, electrical resistance, filament fatigue and general usage combine to reduce the light output of headlight bulbs, which experts recommend should be replaced every two years. When replacing headlight bulbs, drivers can upgrade existing bulbs with a new generation of high performance light bulbs that mark a dramatic improvement over the traditional halogen bulbs which are standard on many vehicles. Philips Upgrade Headlight Bulbs are designed to put substantially more light on the road while

creating a better beam pattern that is much longer than that produced by standard halogen bulbs. Available in a variety of brands, these uniquely designed bulbs are even tailored to meet specific driver’s needs, ensuring commuters, soccer moms and sports enthusiasts won’t fall victim to poor visibility no matter where their travels take them. * Routinely clean your vehicle’s glass and mirrors. Dirty and aging headlight lenses are not the only thing that can compromise a driver’s vision on the road. Debris and film buildup on windshield glass and on

rear- and side-view mirrors can reduce vision, especially for drivers who smoke inside their vehicles. Make cleaning the glass and mirrors inside and outside of your vehicle part of your routine vehicle maintenance. Such cleaning won’t take very long, but it will significantly improve visibility. When cleaning side-view mirrors, be sure to properly adjust them to eliminate blind spots. More information is available at www.philips.com/automotive.
