COLONIAL HEIGHTS VS DINWIDDIE, VIRGINIA WINS

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team will be back in action tonight at home at 6pm against Dinwiddie. Who would have ever thought that we would be able to play on the field this soon after all the rain we had Sunday night into Monday, the strong wind really helped out in the drying process. The weather over the next 5 days looks like some Chamber of Commerce weather with temps in the mid 70's to low 80's over that period of time. The Virginia baseball team beat Towson yesterday 8-5, the Cavs will face Towson again today. The VCU basketball team looks to capture the CBI Championship with a win at St. Louis tonight, if the Rams lose tonight they will have another shot at St. Louis on Friday. If you don't have anything else to do tonight you should com on out to the ball game. MICKEY

Worn-out wipers or no fluid
Many accidents are a result of poor visibility. Often you don't realize your wipers are shot or the washer tank is empty until your visibility is limited, such as in a heavy rain or snowstorm or in the glaring sun with a dirty windshield. And a torn wiper blade can allow the wiper arm to rub against the glass, possibly ruining the windshield.

How to prevent it:
In our tests, we've found that wipers usually degrade in performance after only six months. Get new ones at least twice a year; the Valeo 600 Series, RainX Latitude, Anco 32 Series, and Michelin RainForce top our Ratings. Keep the windshield-washer reservoir full. Pack spare wiper blades and a gallon of nonfreezing washer fluid in the trunk.
