Oral History Interview with Gene Hawkins
by: jtracy
Oral history interview with World War II Veteran Gene Hawkins, spouse of Paula Hawkins, the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate based on her own attributes and the first woman to be a senator from Florida.
U.S. Senator Paula Hawkins and her husband Gene, pictured with their family and President Ronald Reagan.
Pictured from left to right: Senator Paula Hawkins, Kelley Hawkins (McCoy), Jean Hawkins, Kevin Hawkins, Gene Hawkins, President Ronald Reagan, Genean McKinnon, and Joel McKinnon.
LISTEN Part I (18:18) (Text highlights from audio.)
My name is Walter E. Hawkins I was born in Atlanta, Georgia December 25, 1923.
What was a typical Sunday like for you growing up?
Well, going to church was always important. But otherwise... my mother had six children. I was the youngest. And so, typically going to church was a very important item and took quite a bit of time on Sunday. We were very poor so we didn't do really grand things on Sunday except church.
What did your parents do for a living?
My father was a house painter and my mother was a housewife. My mother was the mother of six. And an interesting thing, my father died when I was two years old and left my mother a widow with six small children. So therefore we, much of this was during the Depression, so we had a very hard time in terms of economic things.. Well, see my mother had no official training for the business world, but she did sew for Goodwill, made very little money. But she did later attend a business school where she learned the important things in those days: shorthand, typing. And so, she eventually was hired for a civil service position after she had gone to school and qualified herself. And she remained in that activity until she retired. It's very interesting. Yes, she still raised six children, very difficult.
Newspaper salesboy for The Atlanta Georgian
I, at the age of eight years old in Atlanta, I walked downtown and sold newspapers on the street. [The Atlanta Constitution?] It was called The Atlanta Georgia, it later became one. But during my youth it was The Atlanta Georgian. And I would sell that newspaper for 5 cents and I would make 2 cents. [That's a lot.] That was good. [Who determined the profit margin. Did the paper?] Yeah, the paper. Two cents, that's 40%. [That was a great job at the time wasn't it?] Oh, yes, it really was. And I was happy to have it and all of the six children worked at something to help bring in enough money for us.
Where did you go to school?
I went to grammar school, it was Williams Street School and then later Bass Junior High School, and then, Atlanta Tech High School... I got a conventional education in English and math and all of that. But they did have a lot of courses that you would say would be technical. Operating instruments and ham radio and that kind of thing... And in those days Atlanta had no coeducational school. We had girls high, we had boys high, we had tech high. It was very novel. Eventually after the war, they became integrated with boys and girls in the same school.
World War II
World War II, as you know as December 7, 1941, I graduated from Tech High about three months later and I wanted to be useful, but I was very young. I did join the service and for training initially. I went for training in electronics for radio and radar because that was heavily needed in the war. And so, I went to school at Georgia Tech not for college education, but just for the opportunity to learn elementary electronics and so forth. I went there and I also went to Philadelphia Philco School all to teach me radio repair, radar and those type things. And so, finally, I finished that about a year later. And then I was called up for active duty in April 1943. And that's when I went into the service and I utilized these skills. I was in the Pacific. And so, I did a number of assignments connected with radio, radar, and other technical things.
Army Signal Corps Active Duty in the Pacific
After the preliminary training I received then when I was in the Army I utilized that training in repairing radios and other technical things. And so, my entire career in active duty in the Pacific in the Army was taken up in technical assignments. [And was this the Army Air Corps?] It was the Signal Corps, the Army Signal Corps and I was attached to the 8th Army under General Douglas MacArthur....
You were in Japan?
Yes, I was at the end of the war, very important. I was in Manila, the Philippines, and the bombs were dropped. You know, the famous bombs, and so, Japan surrendered. And very soon thereafter, there had to be an occupying force to go to Japan. It was initially not large and I was one of those selected to go because of my training. Because we had the task of visiting their factories where they produced goods for their army and their air force and so forth.
Technical Intelligence
So I was with a small outfit called technical intelligence. Only five of us. I was electronics, someone else was chemistry, you know the news for covering such things as war producing plants. And so, I did go along with the several hundred that occupied Japan very early. And our group was called technical intelligence and we had the assignment of visiting the so called war plants that Japan had and evaluating and making sure they were dormant. And that was very interesting.
A Japanese silk parachute...
And a little side bar story, at one of those plants, a colonel gave me a parachute... and maybe you know that Japanese silk that comprises a parachute is very high quality. The silk products they excelled in. So, I didn't know what to do with this parachute, but I shipped it home to Paula and at this time she lived in Logan, UT. And I thought nothing of it. But to finish the story, I'll show you a picture when we married in September 1947 in Logan, UT where she had moved to. And unbeknown to me her mother had taken all the silk out of it and had made it into a wedding gown... so that's an example of bringing home not a pistol or relic such as that, but a device that became Paula's wedding dress...
Gene and Paula Hawkins wedded on September 5, 1947 in Logan, Utah.
At this point in history am I allowed to ask what your impression was or was this all top secret?
No. No secrets. Japan had surrendered and there was no element of animosity. They were very humble and they yielded any and everything we GI's needed. And so, when we landed in Yakima and got aboard trucks and drove to Tokyo 20 miles away, we didn't know what to expect from the Japanese people. Would they be fierce? They were known as Kamikaze pilots and so forth. So we were apprehensive. But after we landed and got on the Army trucks and we went to Tokyo 20 miles the people were so subservient and they were bowing, they were bowing - Obeisance is the word - as we drove and drove. And that was a remarkable discovery on our part. They truly, and history has shown that, Japan became a great ally of ours and they are to this day...
The GI Bill
A great thing our government did for the military people was offer what we call the GI Bill. College tuition, expenses for getting an education and I took advantage of everything I could. Receiving a bachelors' degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in electrical engineering at Georgia Tech. I could not have done this otherwise because our family was very poor. Was your mother alive when you graduated? Yes, yes she was and I know she was proud.
Career path to Central Florida...
After I received my electrical engineering education, I entered the electronics field in sales instead of design. I always loved to sell and meet people. I got started in that at eight years old selling newspapers in Atlanta. I always enjoyed meeting people and I learned to form associations that were good. And so, when I finished, the chief things I did after college was in the field of sales. And, very interesting. And eventually I ended up having a partnership with another person here in Florida. That's what brought me to Florida in sales and what I sold was electronic components such as fuses and capacitors and so forth. And I really enjoyed that; it became my career.
Manufacturer's Representative Agency
And what brought me to Florida, I had joined this, it's called Manufacturer's Representative Agency which was a sales agency and we represented manufacturers who made such things as fuses, capacitors, and so forth. And I started out with them in Atlanta and traveled seven states. And after two to three years, they saw that they needed to have an operation in Florida with headquarters here. And I was chosen out of the seven sales people. I was chosen to come to Florida, open the office and expand the sales here. And this was 1945. I moved my family from Atlanta to Winter Park and began to expand the business throughout Florida.
Yeah, the company became known as HHP, which was Hawkins, Hoto, and Peregoy, which became HHP. And we traveled the entire state selling electronic components, products which, we represented approximately 18 components, 15-18 companies there. We would sell their products and receive a commission because we had the territory as an exclusive territory. And I continued in that realm for almost 40 years in Florida until I retired and I sold my portion of the business.
Who were you selling the components to, would this be for use in space or construction?
It would be like Martin Company or Harris Company. Mainly it was wholesale distributors such as Hughes Supply, Hammond Electronics, and so forth. We had many customers. I'll put a little parentheses on this. This was before the Internet. Now, the Internet has almost destroyed that business whereby people call, knock on the door, and meet the customer and write orders. Now as you know, all that's done by the Internet....
Basically, the products these wholesale distributors were selling locally were technical devices or components. And they had to stock them locally. For example, in Orlando I probably had 10 distributors and I would call on them or our people would, write orders, and shake hands, thank you very much. The relationships were strong and very beneficial.
What was the climate like doing business in Florida at that time? Was it a good place to do business?
It was a growing place and it was a good place. Because industry was expanding, moving in, and the developments, when I came down here television was in its infancy so television became a growth industry. But we would sell parts, replacement parts for television and radio and so forth and that was a growing business. And also Martin opened and we sold [to] Martin; Harris opened and we sold [to] Harris. And a number of other producing businesses came to Florida. And as they came we would sell products to them. So it turned out I was in that business 40 years before I retired.
And at just the right time.
Yes, it was at the right time. That's right. And, I might say this, that when we came to Florida, Paula was truly a housewife. And we lived in, we first rented in Winter Park. Later we built a home in Maitland and that's how she in the political realm came to be known, as she eased into politics she became known as the Maitland housewife. You'll find that in some of the writings. But she had no intent nor did I to see her meander into politics. She was a true housewife and at this time we had a total of three children... I have eleven grandchildren and twenty three great grandchildren.
Where did you meet Paula Fix?
I met her at church in Atlanta. She and I were the same Mormon faith. And her parents moved from Rhode Island to Atlanta because her father, who was a lifetime naval person, he worked for the Navy and he was transferred to the Georgia Tech Naval Unit in Atlanta. And at that time Paula was around nine years old and her family was religious, quite religious and attended the same church that I did. So we met at church... We would go to some of the dances. Dancing was a big thing in those days. Bands like Henry James, Glenn Miller, and other big band type bands. And we would go to dances. And we would jitterbug together and other dances of the day. Oh, she could really dance. And, in those days, young ladies, teenagers, dancing was a big thing and it was very usual for young girls like that to become good at dancing. It's not quite the same today.
We married in Logan, UT and one of the reasons, Mormons, the ideal location for a marriage is in the temple and so, we married in the temple in Logan, UT. It's called the Logan Temple... it was built in approximately 1850... and that's where we were married... We were married civilly September 5 in 1947 and then ten days later we were married in the Temple which is vastly more binding. We marry for time and eternity and so forth. So it's a special, very special thing to be married in the temple. But civilly, is equally, it's important but there are more eternal consequences from a marriage in a temple. And so, there was ten days a part in the temple in Logan. And, if you don't have the date, it was September 15, 1947.
That was a very important time to get married in our country wasn't it?
You're right. It was. That's exactly right. We had the war and people began to establish families. And marriage was a big deal and more plentiful than today....
In addition to serving our country in WWII as you did, you also, in the history of our country went on to be greatly admired for your role in supporting your wife, Senator Paula Hawkins, as she served our country in the U.S. Senate. I'm sure when you got married you never anticipated the role you would have?
And, in fact, if I could say this, when we married neither she nor I had any idea that she would enter the political realm. I can tell you just a little bit how this came about. She was always conservative, loved the country, loved the Founding Fathers. She was a very, very patriotic person naturally.
Republican Party Orange County Committee Woman for Maitland
And so when we lived in Maitland, maybe you know this story, Maitland did not have sewers, septic tanks all over Maitland. And, Paula said, "Hey, we're old enough, The City of Maitland, to have sewers." And Dommerich Estates was just being built. You know Dommerich? And they were putting in streets... There's a gap here. I was traveling and she had to have something to do. So she joined the Republican Party Orange County Committee as what we call a committee woman for Maitland, her precinct in Dommerich. And that put her for the first time in the political realm.
Community Activist
But then more particularly, when they were putting in streets for Dommerich it was a natural to put in sewer lines. And forget about septic tanks. I don't have to tell you why. But as a mother she was very concerned about that. But the city fathers didn't want to spend the money for sewer lines and so forth. But they were putting in the streets. So she became very intense about this. And the city fathers would not move. So she put together a group of people who felt the same way. Some of them were Martin people and other assorted, but you had to hustle them up, put them together, and activate. And she was the root doer. And a number of these people as I say worked at Martin and so, they selected people as candidates for mayor, city council, and so forth. They became fairly widely known.
Housewife Paula Hawkins pictured here with her husband Gene, and their children, Genean, Kelley, and Kevin in front of their Central Florida home, circa 1958.
Maitland Housewife and Community Leader
And so they would meet and Paula was basically the leader and they all felt the same way and so they recruited. Paula wasn't recruited as a city councilman or mayor, but she was the pusher, the doer. They would meet in our house and they filed for public office and then they campaigned in Maitland by phone or whatever. And each one of them won. One of them was a professor at Rollins. He became the mayor. And it was truly a ground up affair. And she became known fairly widely for this. And, I guess, maybe that's where she got the term "Maitland housewife" because she was.
Paula Hawkins Post Office Building
But anyway, here's something that you may know, you may not. The Maitland Post Office it's named after Paula Hawkins. And if you ever go to the Maitland Post Office, you'll find a bust of her and her name. And her dear friend, John Mica put this together. By this time, John had been her aide early on when she was first in the Senate. And he saw the many things that she did in Washington. He went to work getting approval in the House of Representatives to have the Maitland Post Office named after Paula Hawkins.... It was in recognition of what she had done by this time.
Tell us about your role supporting Paula Hawkins...
Well, it began as I saw the activity in Maitland, what she did politically to achieve Maitland having sewers. It was very political and that was her first activity. And so, she did it so well, and became fairly well known in Maitland for that achievement. And, I guess, you could say that she kind of liked the task and the achievement. It's there today. And that's one of the reasons why she's in that post office. Between that and also she became in the Republican Party a precinct committee woman... And I'm watching all this. I'm running my business and doing all that. But I'm kind of watching the amazing things Paula did. And as a precinct committee woman for Orange County Republicans she was very active in that and worked hard. When there was an election she knocked on doors like a trooper and handed out literature. She had not become notable countywide, but in Maitland she had become very notable. Anyway, she worked so hard and I'm seeing all this and I'm saying to myself, Paula Hawkins is really something that I did not realize I married. But here I see Paula go from a true housewife to the lower stages of the political realm...
Running for the Public Service Commission
They asked her to run for state office, the Republican Party in Florida. And, a likely thing they felt was she was a housewife, run for the Public Service Commission that was statewide. There were three public service commissioners and the Public Service Commission, you probably know, they have control over the companies that have the electrical, the telephone, all of those companies that are basically without competition in their area: Florida Power, Florida Power and Light, and so forth; the duty of the Public Service Commission and, it still is, to regulate those utilities. And so, the leaders of the state Republican Party had seen what Paula - what a dynamite she was. And they said, "Paula, there's a seat open in the Public Service Commission and because you are a housewife you know all about the domestic things; you pay the bills and so forth. You use electricity. Why don't you run for the Public Service Commission? And, I got a phone call one day, "Gene, we want Paula to run for the Public Service Commission." I said, "Wow, she can't do that." And they said, "We think that she can. Would you let her?" Well, here I am, she's going like a freight train, can I say, no I don't want her to run? I couldn't do that. I just couldn't do that because I love the Republican Party. I'm a loyal Republican and we wanted to see the party grow in Florida. So I finally said, "Well, okay."
So it was, nobody knew her statewide. She was known in Central Florida. So she had to run Panhandle, Jacksonville, you know, the whole state. And the Democrat who was going to run, he was a senator, a state senator from Miami. And he had a following, had financial backing already. And that's, it's like David and Goliath if you will. So here, this gal took oh, by this time the exhilaration in her was strong, you know. The can do, will do, and so forth. I didn't think she had a prayer. So she signed up to run. Had no money - I say no money - the kind of money it takes to run statewide.
Paula's Listening Post
So I'll tell you what she did. She had a friend who had a Winnebago that would loan the campaign a Winnebago. And Paula said, "Okay, we'll borrow that." And she got some young students from FSU to drive it and go with her. I'd say that she got five teenagers, boys and girls, to go with her. She's fascinating at this time and making history in a local way. So, they took this Winnebago and made a sign around it. That picture's somewhere - Paula's Listening Post. And she would, they would all get in there and she'd go to the malls.
"I'm Paula Hawkins and I'm running for Public Serrvice Commission..."
In those days, the malls were very important. She'd go, let's say for example, like Ft. Lauderdale Mall and she would carry a microphone, and nobody knew her in these locations. She's walk up and say, "I'm Paula Hawkins and I'm running for Public Service Commission and I have the background for it because I use electricity, I use the telephone, I'm a housewife, and I'm a customer so I understand what's needed to regulate these monopolies." She did this again and again all over. It was amazing.And somehow, the press began to see this and they'd write a little story and it became novel and it was just unbelievable. She didn't have the money, but the rented Winnebago and these students glad to help - it was unbelievable.
Paula Wins the Public Television Debate
So there was a debate at the end of the campaign between this professional Democrat Senator who was running for the Public Service Commission... and he had the recognition, had money... I use the expression David and Goliath. So anyway, there was as time wore on, the media got very interested in this novel thing. And they began to write more and more. And then at the end of the campaign, there was a debate on public television. And Paula, she really creamed him. I shouldn't use that expression. She really won that debate. And overnight, the polls had showed she didn't have a chance, but this public debate was viewed by a lot of people because it was novel. Nobody thought that Paula could win. But anyway, she debated this state senator, Democrat from Miami, and basically she won the debate. No question about it. And, got exposure, considerable exposure that night. And the election was held and she won by just that much. It was remarkable. It's never been done again. I don't think it ever will be done again. No money, but a will and an intrinsic talent. Handshaking thousands and thousands of people in those malls. And you get the media's interest...
So that was in November of 1972 and then she got reelected to the Public Service Commission and she ended up serving as Chairman of the Commission from 1977 to 1979. And she was the first Republican and first woman to serve on the Commission since 1887.
It was quite an achievement. She did become chairman and the other way she really, really made her future, when there's a rate increase, let's say, Florida Power, for example, we need a rate increase. And you apply to the Public Service Commission. And then the Public Service Commission, they had the lawyers, and they had these three commissioners and they would hear the case in headquarters in Tallahassee. And Paula's watching all this. And they met in secret. That was what they did. And Paula said, "This is wrong." That is what they did. She said it again and again. This is, we should come under the Sunshine Law. And the commissioners said, "No, we've never come under the Sunshine Law." And their own attorney said, "No, Public Service Commission does not come under the Sunshine Law." But Paula said, "We'll find out."
Public Service Commission Comes Under the Sunshine Law
And so, she went to a Democrat senator,,, he was the attorney general for the state... and she said, "Please check. I believe that we come under the Sunshine Law." (Which means that the press can come in...) "I'll check and let you know Commissioner." I don't know, two weeks later or whatever it was, he announced... that the Public Service Commission comes under the Sunshine Law.... But she [Paula] saw extreme coziness between the commission and you could say the utility leaders and that was a fact. So that made big news. Big news. Bold. Because here's a little female David going up against Goliath. Because these other two commissioners always voted the same and she voted against large rate increases and made a big name, big name for herself. Became statewide popular, not just Maitland. Boom for Paula! And it was incredible....
Voting Against the Utility Rate Increase
Now let me tell you a little thing that happened. She saw these votes and she knew the corruption and they were approving too much money. And they could say, we need a 200 million dollar rate increase; I'm talking about the utility. And they'd have people assigned to influence the commissioners because that's all you had to do - sell two out of the three and then you've got it. So Paula went... she went to the head of the Florida Supreme Court, a respected jurist, and she told him what the problem is, "What can I do about it?" And he said, "Well, you vote your way. Let's say they're asking $250 million dollars, you think they deserve $150, whatever it is. Vote for a $150 million dollars, but you write why. Write why and you turn that in and we the court will have to hear it. The Supreme Court because here's a body representing people of the state. Does that make sense to you? Yes, you write it up and sign it. Sign how much you approve and why. And we the state Supreme Court will hear it." Wow!
Utility Rebate for Customers
So that happened and she got two or three, I forgot which rates for those particular ones that she wrote up. And so, there were rebates sent from Florida Power and Light or whoever it is and that user represented. Let's say, she got a rebate of 50 million dollars, I don't have those figures, they're available, but that household would get it's share - a rebate. Now that's no small thing...
Visiting Genean McKinnon in Washington
One day she was in Washington, our daughter Genean McKinnon... she lived in Washington because she worked with Skip as a legislative aide. Well, I was up there with Paula up there in Jeanne's house. Well, one day there was a knock on the door and Genean goes to the door and opens the door. It's the guy named Dick Morris. And there's an open seat at that time. The campaign is going to be coming and there's a seat open at that time for the U.S. Senate. And Dick Morris is a pollster; he's brilliant. So he's looking for a client to run their campaign and he says to Genean, "Is Paula Hawkins here? Well, can I see her?" So, he comes in and he knew the polling. She was sky high in the polls because of what she had done. And people say, here's a dynamite for the people person.
Dick Morris
So he says, "I'm Dick Morris and you need to run for the U.S. Senate and I will run your campaign." And I'm there also. And Paula and I both say, "We don't have the money." And he says, "You will win. I've seen the polls, they're this high." And we don't have the money to run statewide for the U.S. Senate. I think there were television communities if you will. You have to be on the air in Jacksonville and you have to be on the air with ads, in Pensacola, Miami, and Tampa, you know, throughout the state. And we certainly, I didn't have that kind of money. He said, "Don't worry about that. You will win. I've seen the polls."
Lou Frey
Well, we already had several Republicans running and I'm going to just whisper in your ear one of them was Lou Frey.... He'd been a ten year congressman from Central Florida, very talented, formidable and he had already signed up to run for that Senate seat, unknown to Paula and me. When we learned, we said, "She can't do it." I think there were four people were out there campaigning. And Dick Morris said, "Don't worry about that. I've seen the statewide polls you will win. Run."

Bill Brock
The leader of the U.S. Senate was a fellow by the name of Bill Brock. He was the chairman of the Republican Party and he knew Paula because Paula worked in the party as Precinct Committee Woman. He knew what she could do and whatever... He had known Paula because of the party work and so he got on the phone and said, "Paula, you got to run. We need a woman in the Senate." I'm hearing this and I said, "Tell him let's run his wife."
Paula Hawkins Wins the Primary by a Wide Margin
Well anyway, it was kind of amazing. Paula had attained nationwide status among Republicans because of the Public Service Commission and, you know, whatever. So, Dick Morris he knew that he would get money if she won from the U.S. Republican Party. .. So long story short, she did. I'm just going to tell you, these other fellas, including Lou Frey, have been running for, I'd say like three months. And so Paula would be coming in three months late and so forth. Dick Morris kept saying, "Don't worry, I know what the polls are." And so, the way the Florida law was, you had to win if there were several people in that primary. You had to win 51% of the vote to say I'm in. Well, the election, out of four or five people, she carried I want to say like 48 % and then Lou Frey was next. Let's say that he carried 31%. So the party thought, now I hate to say this because we like Lou Fry, but if you carry 48% you're inevitably going to win in the runoff. But he felt he could beat them even in the runoff. But she won clearly by a wide margin.
Political Debate at Rollins College
So now she's got to run in the general election against the Democrat... But anyway, Dick Morris says, "You know we'll win." But it was a tight race, very tight.... And there was a debate, a Public Service Debate, meaning she didn't have to pay for it. That gave her exposure. The debate was held at Rollins. And Dick Morris kind of gave her some tips about how to handle yourself in a debate and it was a tough debate. And Paula won the debate and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980. It was the same year Ronald Reagan was elected....
Paula Hawkins Wins the U.S. Senate
And now, now the nation, "The Washington Post" ran an article - she really broke the ceiling. Because honestly, here's a woman elected to the U.S... Senate and "The Washington Post" had a two to three page article even though they're Democrat... There was one woman senator, Nancy Kassenbaum, and she had won. But her father was governor and very, you talk about coattails, from Kansas... and Kansas is a Republican state.... But the line written was that Paula Hawkins won the U.S. Senate without having the benefit of any famous person, if you will. That's kind of how I came in because her husband was, had never been anything politically and so forth. So I became now a little bit of an enigma. I began to get a little space. But anyway, the word that went around, the first senator elected to the U.S. Senate, female senator, on her own....
United States Senator Paula Hawkins
The Missing Children's Bill
But she had ideas of what she wanted to do. And, at that time, you know, John Walsh, his son had just gone missing in a mall down in Hollywood. And Adam Walsh became very famous and others had gone missing. It was coming to be a factor. Kids would be picked up on the street... So Paula had thought about legislation... it was called the Missing Children Bill; had to be approved in the Senate and then the House. But anyway, she was in the Senate so the bill had to come first in the Senate. She wrote it and she and her aid, who lives in Jacksonville now, they basically wrote the legislation and what it called for. And now, Paula is taking this to other senators saying,"Would you cosponsor? Would you give me your vote?" and so forth.

The Missing Children's Center
It was tough because the FBI people didn't think the missing children - they were more concerned about drugs and, you know, really high level things. Paula had hearings. And it came up in the hearing, someone said from the FBI, we have to find million dollar resources... And so Paula said, "If a racehorse is worth millions of dollars, how much is a child worth?" And she was dynamic. She had the hearing and the FBI was opposed and they got a lot of senators to agree not to vote for it. But anyway, Paula persisted and persisted and she finally got the bill passed. And it's in Alexandria, Virginia - the Missing Children's Center. And Paula has been recognized again. And later she passed the Missing Children or Abused Children has been added. How many children they've found...
Senator Paula Hawkins' Idea for Missing Children Legislation builds on local policing...
We were driving from Maitland to Winter Park. I don't know if you know where that turn off is if you're coming 17-92 there's a little turnoff to go to Winter Park. Anyway, I had not - you know, how you put a little tag on annually on your car... well I hadn't put mine on. ... So here's where she gets the idea. So the police car blew a whistle, stopped me, I pulled over... Paula's listening and she sees this guy. He had called ahead on his computer... Paula's watching him on the computer. Her eyes got that big. Wow! Wow! It doesn't matter how that came out, but that's when she got the idea about missing children legislation. It called for every county police people, city police, take all elements of policing if you will. The bill called for it. If a child goes missing, get his name and all the details when and where it happened and get on the Internet and let it be known widely... And that's where, if you ever should go to - it's just outside of DC headquarters.... They've got a person that can do a sketch, send that out. You know that center - every state, every county, it's phenomenal what the bill called for....
Legislation by Senator Paula Hawkins
The amount of legislation she ended up in passing.
She became fascinated in the drug problem. And she said, "There's got to be a way to fight the production and sourcing of drugs that come into this country." So she wrote an amendment to the foreign aid package... and she got an amendment passed. It's called the Paula Hawkins Amendment. And the amendment says that any country producing drugs that get into this country and whatever, unless they have a program to diminish the quantity, their foreign aid can be cut.
The Paula Hawkins Amendment Abroad
So she got that passed and she says,"I'm going to Bolivia, I'm going to the producing countries." And she therefore got in Spanish, this amendment, what the law is in this country. And I went with her, John Mica, too, he was her aide by this time. And I remember going to Bolivia... and here's this little housewife going in there, had an appointment with the commissioners. And she sits with them - hands off in Spanish her amendment - and said, "We need your cooperation...." But anyway, she sits with these legislative leaders and she says, "I need your support because the cocaine is coming into our country and doing great harm..." Well, long story short, they gave the excuse of the coca... But then she went to Columbia and I went with her and long story short wherever she went to, Pakistan, that's where the poppies come and that's where the heroin comes and I went with her and she did the same thing there. But anyway, so her battle, she had a battle for missing children, she had a battle for drugs, and others...

How did you navigate your role?
They had a Senate Wives Club. So they said to me, "Gene, you've got to join the Senate Wives club." I said, "I''m not a Senate wife." But they kept prodding me. I'm talking about the wives. And I went one time. I didn't have a purse. But they all welcomed me because I was novel. And they changed the name to the Senate Spouse's Club. You probably know that. And they treated me good.
The best example of the treatment I got was when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated where they wanted to give the special seat for the inauguration. So they had me sit between Elizabeth Taylor... wife of the Virginia senator. So the wives at the inauguration all had special seats up close. So they arranged for me to sit between Elizabeth Taylor and Nancy Thurmond, who had been Miss South Carolina. So I sat between them and was right there. The world doesn't need to know that, but that is a true story. That's a great seat. So, I got some benefits... I traveled with her and I made some novel things just being, you know my presence at a lot of these things boosted her somehow. Because here is I carrying her bag. But she was the voice and the doer...
She has an honorary degree from Rollins and I think four or five from universities around the country... I went with her to Utah state, that's in Logan. And she received an honorary degree there and others....
I was a little bit helpful getting her elected because in every campaign I did have an involvement, but small. You can't imagine me going into a mall with a microphone saying, "My wife is running for the Public Service Commission." It had to be Paula with those beautiful brown eyes and that presence...
Paula loved the founders of this great nation and knew much concerning them and that's why she had involvement. She was a true patriot. And I feel that I share her appreciation of this great country equally. And we are at a critical time, and my prayer is that this nation will forever be strong and a great example to all nations of the world.

Hey guys,
I encountered a problem last week when I picked up a Jeep Travel Bug from "Witches Brew". I copied down all of the numbers on the tag, and dropped it at one of the next caches I found, "ESP Travel Bug Hotel".
However, when I got home and tried to log the TB's movements, I got a "No Match" message on any tracking number I tried to put into the log page, and thus it won't allow me to log it. I've tried every number I had, plus the "reference number" given on the TB page. I've also tried contacting the last three people to handle this TB and nobody has had any useful information as to which number they used.
My desperation was such that I went back to ESP Travel Bug Hotel today to see if I missed any numbers, and I hadn't, which made me quite exasperated.
Any advice on what I can do? Right now, geocaching.com still thinks this TB is in "Witches Brew".
Thanks in advance!
A common error is mixing uo the letters I & O with the numbers 1 and 0.
The reference number on the TB page is not for logging; it's just for reference. The 3053 is also no good for logging.
There must have been something else on the tag.

I am shopping for a new gas-fired range for my off-grid home. I know that I need one without an energy-wasting "glow bar" in the oven. Any suggestions?
David S. Martin • via email
Most gas ovens use either a pilot light—a continuously burning flame—or an electric element (aka glow bar) for lighting the gas flame. The downside of a standing pilot light is that, since it is always on, it uses a small amount of a fuel continuously, which can add up.
For an off-grid system, the electrical draw of a glow bar—which is about 500 watts—can eat up far more of your renewable energy than you'd want. Cooking a holiday dinner during the winter, for example, could easily consume 3 to 5 kilowatt-hours. For a 24-volt system, that's up to 200 amp-hours or more for cooking alone—and that's a lot of electricity to make up for during winter's limited number of sun-hours. If your family bakes a lot, such an oven would be a large, year-round draw.
For that reason, many off-gridders end up using ranges with pilot lights. But for folks who also want to minimize gas use, even that is a problem. Most ranges allow users to turn off the pilot light just for the cooktop, which can then be safely lit when needed with a simple, long-handled flint striker. You can turn off the pilot lights using the adjustment for pilot flame height, often deep inside each burner's knob shaft. (Check your range's documentation for adjuster location and how to do this.)
But it is more difficult, often impossible, to turn off the oven's pilot light. Unlike the cooktop burners, the oven burner needs to cycle on and off so it can regulate oven temperature—and needs to relight each on-cycle (either via a pilot light or glow bar). On my last oven, there was no way to turn off the pilot light completely.
The other alternative is to find a range, like a Peerless Premier, that uses an electric spark to light its pilot light when the oven is turned on, and turns the pilot off again when the oven is turned off. Some of these ranges also have an AA-battery-powered spark igniter, for completely cordless operation. For on-gridders, that means the oven can even be lit during utility outages.
If you go with a Premier or other spark-based range, see if you can get one from a local appliance dealer or your propane dealer. They are not as commonly available as many stove brands, but having a local source can be helpful when parts or service are needed.
Finally, be sure you specify the type of gas you have when purchasing your stove. Most off-gridders use propane, which requires different burner orifices than natural gas. If you cannot find a propane range, and the appliance store can't handle a conversion, you may be able to make the change yourself using instructions in the range documentation. Otherwise, make arrangements to stop at a local propane dealer on your way home from the appliance store—they can change the orifices and adjust all of the burners for you.

I also purchased the 36" Unique Stove and have had the same problems with the oven. Did anyone ever find a solution to the problem
We have had nothing but PROBLEMS with our new UNIQUE gas range. Purchased a 36" Unique Elite all gas range in 2/17 and it has already been replaced once because the oven either will not light or will not stay lit. This does not happen all the time but often enough to ruin many loaves of bread and many dinners. We are having the same problem with the replacement. Be forewarned - the warranty only covers parts - not service.
I have the same problems. Did you ever get a solution to the oven problems. Mine also has a temperature problem does yours?
We just purchased a 30" Elite Off-Grid range and have the same problem with the oven. I'm able to light the oven after 3 or 4 tries, but then the oven burner goes off after 1-2 minutes, Also, the red/green indicator for the oven never gets out of the red zone, while the broiler gauge immediately climbs out of the red to full green in less than 10 seconds.
Did you find a resolution? I purchased the extended warranty and thought that the warranty covered labor too,
Bought a cheap Amana range for my no-electric hunting cabin. Has sparkers for stove top and glow bar for oven.
Bought a battery and a 250W inverter. Not big enough
Bought a 500W inverter. Worked, but the overpower alarm kept going off.
Bought a 1000W. Haven't tried that yet.
Question is, will my battery last? If that glow bar remains on for entire time that oven is on, that's going to drain that battery pretty quickly.
Any thoughts? Can the glow bar be changed out for a sparker?
Michael...thanks for the response. As best as my research will reveal, these glow bars are 500W at 120V AC. They remain lit for the entire time the oven is on. Thermostat calls for heat, gas valve opens, glow bar lights the flame. At most, I'll use the oven 6 hours between charges. Will a 100ah deep cycle do the trick?
This is in our hunting cabin w/out utilities. It gets used during the fall for deer season and maybe a few other weekends throughout the year. I located some true "off the grid" ovens, but those I could find were $600+. Too much for how we're gonna use this. That's why I'm trying to retrofit.
I have had a 30" Danby LPG converted range (4 burner top and oven) for over 25 years…purchased used. Never have had it plugged into electrical. I light the stove top with a match and the oven with a long barbecue lighter when they became available (before, we used long matches). No problems, and love the stove. The electric clock is always right twice a day. However, I need to replace it because rats/mice have urinated in the oven lining and when the oven is heated, the smell is overpowering. It's time to replace this old warhorse. I had no idea that newer stoves have to keep a pilot light lit. I want a stove just like the one I have. Nothing electrical needed.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is surprising, but that's the greatest feature about this old range. It's a Danby Cuisine III. I just get on my knees, press the oven knob in and turn it slightly, then with the other hand apply a flame to the thermostat under the igniter tube with a match or similar, and it lights. I then select the oven temperature. As a fire chief, I am aware of LPG appliance hazards. And as a consumer that has to transport my LPG to an island in small quantities via a ferry, I am aware of the cost of having a pilot light always on. Perhaps this feature cannot be found in newer ranges. Too bad, if that's the case.
It contains a Harper Generation Six Oven System with a Harper KOOL-LITE ignition system, an electronic module which provides a spark to light the constant and heater pilots when the oven control knob is turned on. During an electrical power failure (or if you don't want to use electricity) , you simply turn the thermostat past the 140 degree mark and hold a lighted match at the forward section of the pilot. With the pilot burning for 30-40 seconds, the flame responsive unit being suitably heated opens the main gas valve to bring the oven to temperature. The pilot remains on until oven turned off. The Spark Ignition Module, described in the following link describes in greater detail how the controls work: https://www.frenchranges.com/wp-con...
Easy, Turn knob for oven to standby, push in to light pilot. Just leave it in the standby until you are ready to use oven pilot stays lit as long as in standby position. When ready to use turn to desired temp. When done turn it back to standby if you are going to use it again, or to off to extinguish the pilot.
I just bought a Unique 30W range for my off-grid cabin in Canada. Electric spark ignition on stove top burners provided by two 9volt batteries, Also the oven has a pilot light that is ignited from the batteries as well, and has a standby function that allows the pilot light to stay lit if you intend to use the oven regularly, if not it can be shut off and re-lit electrically when needed. The stove top burners operate independently of the oven pilot.
I found this by accident but I read it thoroughly because I found it interesting.
You can pick any non glow igniter gas range you like really. here is how. If you are already living off grid or whatever you like to consider yourself as, you probably already do a lot of thinking outside the box, you probably already have a load of DIY things that you take for granted that everyone should be doing. You are probably capable of doing this is what i am getting at.
the Gas clicker that operates a gas grill will ignite a propane or Natural gas burner as that is what it is for. If you can run a detour line for the gas in a pilot lite to a place that you can install a valve that is easily accessible to you and then the return line back to the pilot lite, you can install a Click igniter that only fires the pilot. You see? when you want to turn your oven on normally you would be lighting your pilot 1st. turn the pilot gas on with your remote, push the clicker you installed Now you can turn your oven on normally. when you are done with your oven, shut it off normally, and then you shut your remote gas off to the pilot. Poof. only catch is you have to remember that or you will have your pilot running full time wasting your fuel.
the clicker to start the pilot does not even have to be powered by a Battery. Mines a push button and generates its own ignition spark from the energy I exert when I push that button. You could get one that has a battery but why? LOL
anyway, I just call this procedure. Remote pilot lighting.
I, too, would be very leery of making DIY changes involving flammable substances. But that's clearly a personal thing. BUT I can report happily that after MANY backs and forths and scratching of heads on the part of many parties, I have a new Whirlpool range that does have the Direct Spark Ignition. So they exist, and the power draw is very low.
I bought a Whirlpool range about a year ago. The clock stays on all the time but the draw is minimal. I believe that all Whirlpool models have the "Direct Spark Ignition (DSI)" to light the oven. It draws just a few watts when the oven is lighting but nothing when it is running. I am very happy with it.
On the website they don't talk about DSI and most sales people have no idea what it is or how it works. In the manual, under "troubleshooting" if it has DSI it will say something like this:
Gas range noises during Bake and Broil operations
The following are some normal sounds with the explanations
Click The igniters will click several times until the flame is detected. These are short clicking sounds like tapping a nail onto a piece of glass - This is normal.
The only other way to be sure it has DSI is to find the service manual that shows the replacement parts.
Hi -- so glad to hear you've found a model with DSI. Any chance you can send the model number? I had, in fact, found the statement about the sounds of the oven on line, and it gave me hope, since it sounded exactly like what you'd expect with a spark ignition. But when I went to Lowes, all the Whirlpools seemed to have glow bars. And when I download replacement parts lists, they shwo glow bars. Of course those manuals cover many different models. So I'd be very happy indeed to know what model you got!
My Whirlpool is a WFG540. BestBuy shows it for sale but they seem to change model numbers very frequently.
For comparison, I looked at one new Whirlpool WEG730. Then I clicked on replacement parts and eventually landed on this page:
They show a "spark module" as a replacement part down in the oven.
I sometimes got good answers by emailing questions to their website -- the chat feature almost never got accurate answers.
One other approach is to go to a small appliance shop, where the sales person and the service person are the same -- they are more apt to know what they are talking about than sales people at the big box stores.
Good luck!
Has anyone found a good gas stove model, of any kind, with as little power draw as possible? A stove repair person has told me that modern glow bar systems don't stay "on" constantly during oven use. Also that pilot light stoves are now illegal in New York State. I'd love to hear if anyone has found good options for off-grid stoves.
The prices on the Peerless Premier stoves are kind of outrageous, but perhaps it's because they serve a small market? What is your experience in terms of the quality of these stoves? It sounds older models are much better than newer ones -- is it because the 2 companies merged and quality is down? Also -- in some of the literature, it sounds like some of the Premiere stoves may use a glow bar -- since Lowes, for example, doesn't have any models on the showroom floor, what's a good way to make sure I'm getting the oven spark ignition model? Are you aware of the Whirlpool Direct Spark Ignition system? I find it in their technicians manuals, but I can't find any models that actually have it.
Thanks -- I saw somewhere that "Peerless" and "Premiere" merged at some point. I was getting the impression that Peerless was much better quality than Premiere. Do you have direct experience with any recent models? I've been knocking on the Whirlpool website and so far haven't gotten anyone to has knowledge of the DSI, so I suspect you're right that it's been discontinued. I also read somewhere that Samsung has models that use an intermittent pilot, but was told in a chat yesterday than all of their models use glow bars for their ovens, and that the bars stay heated as long as the oven is on. New question: do you have knowledge of the possibility of changing a glow bar oven to an intermittent pilot? I've seen a lot of information on change furnaces, etc. but not stove ovens.
I'd read Ian's post, and was optimistic, but the reviews (I never know how much credence to give online reviews) of the Premiere stoves on Amazon are, for the most part, terrible! This has made me wonder about changes at the manufacturer. It sounds like Ian's stove is several years old.
FYI, the Peerless Premier range here in my off-grid homestead has spark ignition for both cooktop (six burners) and oven. Since the inverter is not always on here, we often light the burners with a match. I've never tried lighting the oven with a match, but know that once it is started (with AC from inverter), it no longer needs AC.
This range has performed very well for many years.

I have to reply to the original post by Umba. I too purchased the Unique off-grid Range and had it hooked up to propane. That was two years ago and have spent just as much on service calls as on the range itself. The oven does not work - the pilot light can only be lit while down on hands and knees - and it takes a long time to light and then it does not turn off as per the knob. So much for the automatic battery igniter. Have only used the oven once. A technician is coming yet again to change the thermo coupling - tomorrow. Adjusting the burners is brutal - no one knows how to do it. Can only use one burner as a result because the smell of the propane is too much from the other three. I would never suggest a Unique Propane Range to anyone. Two years of dealing with Unique itself. The propane fridge works well - it is a direct vent unit which is great. The range however is a nightmare for those of us far from a town and service technicians - none of which have experience with this particular make of range or fridge. After two years am still cooking on my outdoor bbq which tends to freeze up at (-)25 celcius.
Hi! We bought a Unique gas stove brand new for almost a grand that has never worked right even after two service calls and lots of tinkering. We were told anymore visits would cost us so being poor we had to just live with it. The problem is that the pilot light for the oven does not stay lit except at random times for short periods of time. We now have to get down on our knees with a lighter and light it. It runs through batteries with lots of clicking and spark even when it does light it has to be relit several times before it stays lit. The front burner didn't light at all brand new until they came and messed with it. Do you have an idea what is causing this? The servicemen seemed mystified and told us that no one else had a problem with theirs so they didn't know how to fix it. I guess we are just really lucky!
Two things come to mind. First and possibly most important, is that this stove came with a warranty, and those who sold it to you should be forced to uphold it.
Second, this might not be the stove's fault. The first place I would look at is the size of the gas pipe. It sounds to me like it might be starved for fuel.
Don't really know what the previous technicians tried but a couple of things come to mind. First the pilot light stays on because a thermistor else you'd blow up your house it could be faulty/loose wire. But this is not likely. Pressure regulator and/or a kink in your feed line might make the service unreliable. Solving complex problems is best done by eliminating what you do know until you find the root cause. Yours is a fairly simple system. A feed line, valve, pressure control, a jet, pilot control, thermistor, burner and thermostat. Figure out what works then work on what doesn't. Access to parts is whole other question.
Troubleshooting over a forum discussion would be difficult. Might be worth the cost of appliance repairman plenty in the phone book.
Keep us posted.
Hello Michael, i have considered your advice and my wife agrees with you. i thought she would find it inconvenient to light the burner each time. she says the pilot light is ok in the winter as they do keep the area a little warmer, but i should disconnect them for the warmer months and use the lighter. there are only 2 pilot lights for the top burners actually. this will mean only one pilot for the oven, and will be a good compromise i think. Thank you.
Excellent. Check your documentation for how to adjust the pilot light flames. In one stove, there is a slotted adjuster inside the shaft for the knob, which requires a small screwdriver with a long enough shank. In another, there is a separate little hole in the stove's porcelain shell under the knob, with a slotted adjuster just inside.
As for strikers, I like the flint-type because they do not require a flame. I've been using the same one since 1989, just requires a new lighter-type flint every year or two. Here is something similar: http://www.spiritburner.com/fusion/...
i live off grid- and have propane cook top and oven combo unit- what erks me is that when the oven is in use the electrical usage jumps by 500 watts- how is that? the only thing I can figure is there's and electrical relay holding open the gas valve. so even a completely gas option is not a sure thing.
Dusty, your oven probably has the glow bar that this article is referring to.
respectfully- absolutely positively does not have a glow bar. it's LPG gas powered electronic spark- both top and bottom.
mind you this is not a super expensive range, but I just wanted to comment, that just because you have gas up and down- does not guarantee a low wattage device. it was as much as surprise to me as it would be to anyone and very counter intuitive- and the most usage from the oven for us comes in the evening- beginning of the dark cycle- also not a good :(
Hmmm, hard to imagine a 4 A 120 VAC solenoid being involved, but it sure sounds like it. What's the brand and model of the range?
it's a GE- rather low end model similar to this one - without the self cleaning feature and without the high output burner- plugs into a regular duplex wall outlet. as boring as they come. :)
It was exactly because of issues like this that I started the thread -- there seems to be no way to find out for sure how much power a particular range will draw. I liked one Samsung model. I called the manufacturer and they assured me that they use a spark system for oven ignition, not a glow bar. So I went to a local appliance dealer to buy it and he looked at the repair parts list and said it uses a glow bar. At GE they told me that all of their ranges use glow bars. I called some manufacturers more than once. Some of the customer service people were honest and said they did not know. Others gave answers that were contradicted by other reps at the same company. It quickly became clear that many of them have no idea and are not able to find out.
I bought a Whirlpool and it draws 3 watts when the oven is on. And if I unplug it I can still light the stove top with a match but cannot use the oven. So I am happy.
It would be great if HomePower would set up a page where users could report how many watts are used by different models that off-gridders have bought.
i bought a country house in 1986 that had a propane range with 5 pilot lights, 4 burners and the oven. i am still using that stove. the stove is used daily, we boil water for tea on it as well as cooking. a 100lb propane cylinder lasts about 6 months. if a pilot is out, or if the tank is very low, we can smell it and relight the pilot or change the tank. a small pilot or blocked orifice is usually corrected by a sharp tap with a fork. it is a very good system. hard to improve on.
Hi Carl. You could improve on that further by shutting off the 4 pilot flames on your cooktop, and using a striker to ignite them on demand.
It has been a slow process trying to gain information about the options for gas ranges that use low amounts of electricity. Websites seldom give this information and most sales people are uninformed. Even specialists at the manufacturers' sites often give incorrect information.
Most brands use glow bars, but a few do not, including Premier, Whirlpool, Samsung and LG. Some convection ovens have only a small fan that uses little power, but some appear to have "true convection" with fans that have electric elements. In addition, converting some brands to LP rather than natural gas reduces the output of burners by one-third.
I wonder if someone is collecting information about the electric needs of various brands of gas ranges. I would certainly be willing to buy the range from a firm that could answer these questions.
That's a good question. Energy Star does not list ranges, which is too bad, and I could find no real info on electric usage.
But, again, I sure do like that Peerless, with a model available with no glow bar and no always-on pilot lights.

Dover Police have arrested one juvenile and identified four others in an attack on a Parkway Academy student.
Detectives with the Dover Police Department have identified the five suspects in an April 29 assault that took place on a school bus.
The attack was captured in a 30-second video by one of the five teenagers, which was then posted on the Internet. Dover Police became aware of the attack through routine monitoring of social media sites, said department spokesman Cpl. Mark Hoffman.
Although the police department revealed the identities of the five suspects in a press release, their names are being withheld in keeping with Dover Post's policy of not publishing the names of juveniles unless they have been charged with felony crimes.
Each student, including the 15-year-old Frederica boy who recorded the video, will be charged with a single count of third-degree assault and third-degree conspiracy.
One student, a 16-year-old from Milford, was arrested April 30, and later released to a parent pending an appearance in Kent County Family Court.
According to the warrant of probable cause, released by Justice of the Peace Court 7, Dover, the assault took place at approximately 3 p.m. while a busload of students from the Parkway Central Academy was being driven home.
The attack actually occurred on Sedgewick Drive, Magnolia, but Dover authorities assumed responsibility for the case since the bus was considered an extension of school property.
Parkway Academy is located at 111 S. West St., Dover; it is one of four schools operated by Providence of Delaware, of Wilmington, a subsidiary of Providence Service Corporation, and, according to its website, is an alternative discipline school that provides individual services for troubled students. Parkway's pupils travel daily to the school from their home school districts.
PSC Regional Vice President Abdul-Malik Muhammad said the school has been working with the students' home district to address disciplinary matters.
"Parkway Academy Central is deeply saddened and concerned by the recent incident that took place on Tuesday involving an act of violence by some of our students on one of our school buses," he said in a statement to the Dover Post.
Victim calls for help
The video shows the 15-year-old victim, who is white, sitting by himself as another student walks up the aisle. That student then attacks him from behind, while a second joins in and a third jumps over an empty seat to also join the attack. The victim falls to the floor in the aisle, covering his head and face with his arms.
All of the attackers were black, according to the warrant.
The victim is heard calling for help at least once during the incident as the bus continues moving. The bus driver apparently made no attempt to stop the assault; Muhammad said the driver has been placed on administrative leave until an investigation is completed.
Hoffman said the victim did not suffer serious injuries, although the warrant noted he suffered "substantial pain and swelling" to the back of his head.
All of the suspects were identified through the cooperation of the Parkway Academy staff, Hoffman said.
In addition to the person who recorded the attack, the assailants include a 17-year-old from Magnolia and three Milford students, ages 15, 16 and 17.
Warrants have been issued for all four remaining students, Hoffman said, adding the police will thoroughly investigate any similar incidents.
"The Dover Police Department will not stand for this kind of violence or activity in our schools or on our school buses," he said. "All of our children, regardless of what school they attend, should feel safe in that environment and not have to deal with type of behavior."

The first motorcycle was likely built in 1885 by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, although motorized bicycles were present in the eastern United States as early as 1865. Regardless, a motorcycle typically comprises two wheels with one being a front wheel and the other being a rear wheel. These wheels have a central hub, which rotates about an axel that is connected to the motorcycle frame. Additionally, the rear wheel is typically the drive-wheel, whereas the front wheel is not usually powered.
China Motorcycles
August 1951, China officially has begun to trial, production of motorcycles, cars by the then People's Liberation Army Beijing with Liu Chang completed a system of five heavy military motorcycle trial tasks, named by the Central Military Commission Jinggangshan card.The car speeds up to 110 kilometers per hour. By 1953, annual production exceeded Jinggangshan brand motorcycles 1000. The advent of Jinggangshan motorcycle, marking China's motorcycle industry has opened up a new era.
The past 30 years, China's motorcycle industry growth rate faster. Yield from the product point of view, with an annual output of 49,000 from 1980 to 1990 the development of 970,000, and today, more than a thousand million, China became the world's largest motorcycle production country, motorcycles have been become a pillar industry of national economy - an important part of the automotive industry.
Future of China Motorcycles
Motorcycle through a hundred years storm, is moving towards newer, faster, safer direction.
The introduction of the modern motorcycle industry a lot of advanced technology.
The electronic control system for optical communications, radar distance control system, electronic map navigation systems, sound systems, high-tech electronic muffler motorcycle in a number of concepts in the use of the modern motorcycle is more perfect, more a shocking .

Like many of us on these forums, I have been hoofing it for years. Working on my book, editing, sending to agents. Over and over you get the rejects. And these are hard times to get into print. SO MANY people writing books. So little money around that agents/publishers don't want to take risks. All very understandable.
So many turn to self publishing, especially on Kindle, which costs nothing.
But my feeling (which I have had all my writing life) is that to self-publish is taking a huge risk, not with money, but with your reputation. Who will tell you the book is not good enough? Because you are putting it out there with no advice. You know when a publisher takes a financial risk with your story that they believe there is genuine promise there. If you publish yourself then that element is taken away. There are so many bad books out there that authors have published themselves.
This is just a personal thing for me, but unless my book is published the traditional way, I will never know if it is really good enough or if I am just deluding myself.
I constantly battle with this, but have read a lot of posts on here with great interest.
Anyone else feel like me, or if not, got a convincing argument for me?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the second consecutive week, a pair of MIT student-athletes collected both the men's and women's Runner of the Week awards from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). Brooke Johnson (Shoreham, N.Y.) and Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) earned the weekly honors on Monday after MIT took home both the men's and women's team titles at the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational on Saturday.
Johnson was the top overall runner at the UMass-Dartmouth Invite, crossing the finish over four seconds faster than her nearest competitor. The junior posted a time of 17:54.35 on the five-kilometer course and was the first of five Tech harriers in the top nine places.
Harper took second in the men's race with a time of 24:50.99. The senior helped the Cardinal and Gray capture the team crown with a total score of 31 points.
Last week, Benjamin Mattocks (Sharon, Mass.) and Alexandra Taylor (Harbor Springs, Mich.) were recognized by the conference following MIT's season opening Engineer's Cup meet.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Reporting - Historical Data Server Data: Historical report is missing data for a recent interval
From DocWiki
Historical report is missing data for a recent interval
|Problem Summary
|A historical report is missing data for a recent interval.
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|This could occur because you are running the report at the end of the last interval (for example it is 12:31 and you are running a report from the 12:00:00 to 12:29:59 interval). Data replication from the Logger to the Historical Data Server can be delayed by 1 to 5 minutes. The data for the last interval might not be in the HDS yet.
This could also be because the Logger connected to the HDS has gone offline or because the Logger went offline and is now in the process of recovering. When the Logger fails, the HDS does not switch to the back up Logger. Instead, it waits for its Logger to recover. When the Logger recovers, it begins receiving current data and recovers data from the back up Logger for the time it was down. Once data recovery is complete, the Logger begins to send the recovery data to the HDS. Report data for the selected interval is available once the Logger has completed recovery and the data is replicated to the HDS.
This problem could also occur if the HDS has gone offline or because the HDS went offline and is now in the process of recovering. If it is recovering, data for the selected interval will be available when recovery for that interval is complete. If the HDS has failed, the data for that interval will be available when the HDS comes back up and completes recovery for that interval. In either case the data is still on the Logger and is not lost.
|Recommended Action
|No action is necessary; the data will appear in reports when the recovery and/or replication processes are complete. Try running the report again in several minutes.
|Release 7.5(1) and 8.0
