Mishler strong in Turkey Creek

Republican voters from Turkey Creek Township gave Gregory Mishler a strong plurality with 442 votes to Robert Meeks’ 281 and Philip Treesh’s 111, but it wasn’t enough to pull numbers up from other precincts. Meeks will face Jay Rigdon in the general election in an attempt to secure the state senator’s seat for the 13th district. Rigdon was a 264-120 winner over Dennis Sprunger in Turkey Creek Township, getting strong help in the second district, where he out-polled his Democratic challenger 54 to nine. In the race for state representative, 18th district, Republican J.D. Geiger slipped by Dale Mock, 286 to 232, with a strong showing in the sixth district. However, David Wolkins, who placed fourth in Turkey Creek Township, won the overall vote to earn the right to face Democrat H. Dale Tucker, who was unopposed and garnered 329 votes from the 423 Democrats at the polls in Turkey Creek Tuesday. Republican Judith Cox gained balanced ballots from all six precincts to slip by Gloria Maple 268 to 260 in Turkey Creek, while Democrat Paul Onstott, who ran unopposed for treasurer, gathered 341 votes. There were no surprises on the national level, with George Bush, Richard Lugar, John Hiler, and John Mutz the big Republican winners, while Michael Dukakis, Jack Wickes, Thomas Ward, and Evan Bayh got the nod from Turkey Creek Township Republican supporters. Jesse Jackson garnered nearly half of his 74 votes from the sixth district, but was still soundly defeated by 227 votes.

Upgrade your furniture

Here’s a spring cleaning tip that could save you a bundle of money down the road — don’t forget to clean your upholstered furniture. Upholstery collects dust and soil from food spills, body oils and clothing. This soil, while making your upholstery look dull, also acts as an abrasive and causes upholstery to wear out prematurely. Cleaning upholstery regularly can save money for homeowners, according to Quentin Rench, president Von Schrader Company, a leading manufacturer of upholstery cleaning equipment. “For most’ homeowners, furniture represents a very large investment — usually right behind the home, automobile and education. Regular professional cleaning, at least once a year, is the best way to help protect your investment and extend the life of upholstered furniture,” said Rench. “If upholstered furnishings are neglected, they can wear out before their time.” You can protect your furnishings year-r,ound by cleaning “'smart” — concentrating on the areas that receive the heaviest * use, such as armrests, headrests and cushions. Here are a few more tips: • Vacuum regularly. Vacuum-

Buying homeowners insurance? Consider all replacement costs

Sarah and Mike Connor were thrilled about purchasing their first home. Amid their celebration, however, was some serious thinking about how they would protect their purchase. For millions of Americans, a home represents the largest single investment they’ll ever make. That makes buying adequate insurance coverage an important follow-up step. When shopping for their insurance, the Connors found that most home insurance policies provide replacement cost coverage for the dwelling. When insuring their personal property the Connors quickly became acquainted with the two major types of property coverage: Actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost. The differences between the -two coverages are very important. Simply stated, ACV insurance, when purchased, covers the contents of a home for its original worth less a deduction for depreciation (wear and tear, age, etc. . . .). In other words, a company would pay the cash amount insured property is worth at the time of loss. For example, if the Connors purchased a sofa for SI,OOO five years ago, it might be worth only SSOO today because of depreciation. If the sofa were destroyed by fire, SSOO (the actual cash value) is what the insurance company would pay under ACV coverage. However, the Connors probably couldn’t buy the same sofa for only SSOO today, because inflation may have increased the price to as much as $1,500. For homeowners, the alternative to ACV is replacement cost insurance. This coverage usually pays the cost of replacing property at today’s prices without a deduction for depreciation. . In other words, the Connors might receive $1,500, or an amount necessary to replace the destroyed sofa with a unit of the same type and quality. ~ To obtain replacement cost coverage for the contents of their home, the Connors should know that insurance companies generally require homeowners to carry an amount of insurance that is at least 80 percent of the full replacement value of the home. This enables homeowfiers to collect the full replacement

ing furniture removes dust and food particles that become ground-in and cause fabric to look worn and matted. • Rotate cushions. Cushions sag and begin to wear unevenly; rotating and reversing cushions will help disguise the effects of daily use. • Never scrub spills or spots. Rubbing will only spread the spill and force it into the fabric and cushion. Instead, blot the spot with a clean white towel. After you have absorbed most of the spill, use a very small amount of clean water or spot-removing solution and continue blotting with a clean portion of the towel until the spot is removed. • Be patient. If the spot will not come out — do not persist. Trying many different cleaning agents and techniques may ruin upholstery. Talk to a professional. While there are several methods available for do-it-yourself upholstery cleaning, including rental equipment and aerosol sprays, Rench recommends having upholstery professionally cleaned to save valuable time and to protect against possible damage. “Professionals can take the worry out of cleaning,” said Rench. “Do-it-yourself methods

cost of any partial loss. To understand how much insurance they need, the Connors should determine the cost of rebuilding their home from scratch. This should not be confused with the market value of the home. The market value is the price the fibme would see for, and could be more or less than the replacement cost. For example, if the cost of rebuilding the Conners’ home was SIOO,OOO, to qualify for replacement cost coverage on its contents, they would have to insure their home for SBO,OOO (80 percent of $100,000). Therefore, if a fire should cause SIO,OOO damage to the kitchen of their home, the Connors would receive SIO,OOO, less their deductible, to cover the necessary repairs. If the Connors had decided to insure for less than the required 80 percent, they would collect a lesser percentage of the SIO,OOO loss, depending on how far below the 80 percent level they chose to insure. Consumers should shop around for the coverage that fits their needs, and periodically check with their insurance company to make sure their home coverage is up-to-date. As rebuilding costs

can be difficult and messy, and the results may not be satisfactory. Also, rental cleaning equipment and over-the-counter spray products often use less effective detergents than professional methods. So, cleaning is more difficult and the results can be disappointing. Detergents used with rental equipment often leave residue that actually causes upholstery to soil quicker,” said Rench. Water, common to many cleaning tasks, is not ideal for cleaning upholstery. Too much water can cause fabrics to shrink, seams to loosen and buttons to rust. Excess water and heat during cleaning can cause some fabric dyes to bleed. Professional cleaners, using the Von Schrader dry foam extraction system, clean with very little water. The dry foam dissolves soil and holds it above the fibers, rather than allowing it to seep into the backing. Instantly, the foam is vacuumed and furniture is ready to use again in less than one hour.
