In the Shadow of the Raven

MartinÊs Mirth The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their par-ents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories. “

Johnny, do you have a story to share?” “Yes ma’am, my daddy told a story about my Aunt Carol. Aunt Carol was a pilot in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy ter-ritory and all she had was a small flask of whiskey, a pistol and a survival knife. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn’t fall into enemy hands. Her parachute landed right in the middle of twenty enemy troops. She shot fifteen of them with the gun until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, ‘till the blade broke and then she killed the last one with her bare hands.” “Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher. “What kind of moral did your daddy teach you from that horrible story?” “Stay the heck away from Aunt Carol when she’s been drinking.” Remember: Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.

Broadway and film veteran Duffy Hudson brings his talent and fascination for Edgar Allan Poe to life in this unique one-man play at the Kimball Junction Branch on Friday, July 16th at 6:30 pm.

Your Home: Ten Energy-Saving Tips to Lower Your Energy Bill This Summer Key Points * Air-conditioning accounts for 16% of annual energy costs for the average home. * Have your unit inspected annually by a qualified professional and install a programmable thermostat. * Proper insulation and selective landscaping can save on energy costs all year long. As the temperature rises, thoughts of those high summer cooling bills put many homeowners into a cold sweat. After all, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that summer air conditioning accounts for more than 16% of annual energy spending in the average home. As summer approaches, there are some low-cost steps that you can take to help keep your home comfortable and to help lower your energy bills. 1. If you have not already done so, have your air-conditioner checked by a qualified professional. Servicing typically in- cludes a check on refrigerant levels, the compressor, hoses, the ductwork, and the thermostat. 2. Turn up your thermostat—set the thermostat at 78°F when you are at home and up to 85°F when you will be away. A programmable thermostat is an excellent way to save energy and maintain home comfort year-around. 3. Make sure your thermostat is not located near lamps or electronic appliances. It can sense heat from these devices and make your air-conditioner run longer. 4. Replace air conditioner filters—dirty filters restrict airflow and cause your system to run longer, thus wasting energy. Re place your filter at least once per month. 5. Weather-strip, seal, and caulk leaky doors and windows and install foam gaskets behind outlet covers. 6. On warm, sunny days, keep window coverings closed to prevent solar heat gain. 7. Use ceiling or room fans in occupied rooms. These will get air moving and help to reduce the temperature. 8. Have the windows in your home tinted. Tinting is effective at blocking the rays of the sun from reflecting through the glass of your windows and into your home. 9. Install a whole house fan. These devices circulate cool air throughout your house and exhaust hot air out of the attic. 10. If your air conditioning unit is older, consider replacing it with a newer, more efficient model. Make sure and purchase a product that is ENERGY STAR certified for energy-efficient performance. Why Stop There? While ten is a good number, it is no reason to stop saving on energy costs. There are a variety of other ways that you can save energy in the summer and all year long. * Make sure that your home is properly insulated. This will reduce energy costs and keep you comfortable in summer and winter. * Plant leafy shade trees around the South and West corners of your home. Trees will keep the hot sunlight away from your home in the summer to reduce cooling costs. Trees also lose their leaves for winter when you need that sunlight to help heat our home. While summer presents a number of unique opportunities to make your home more energy efficient, it is important to remember that conservation is a year-round effort.
