Chet Hobert Gave Rise To Winchester Recreation Park

Forty years ago Chet Hobert planned a park by pacing off three baseball diamonds on the old Rouss Farm. He helped pave a dirt drive to the Lion Club shelter and urged purchase of the land, now near Shenandoah College. Hobert later led Coiner's Store in Berryville and is known for his Clarke County ties.

Congress study urges targeting complaints via your congressman

Washington reports that a study of 22 federal agencies found officials spend more time on congressional inquiries than on serious consumer complaints. The result suggests writing your congressman may yield faster action, with praise for some agencies and criticism for others. The research was funded by a HEW grant and notes mixed progress since a prior study.
