PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT
--
The "Oil is History" photography
series of Louise Marler will be on display at the Arts Council
of Southeast Missouri in Cape Girardeau for the month of May.
Louise's photographs were taken at the former Hoffman property
in Ste. Genevieve, well known by locals as a beautiful auto
graveyard, with rows of old cars from the 1930's through
1950's. How can a bunch of rusty old cars be beautiful? What
do they have to teach us? Check out Louise's stunning
photographs and you'll be won over. The exhibit is open
9:00-5:00 during the week, 10:00 - 4:00 on Saturday. For more
information on the art of Louise Marler visit:

FAQ
Q: "What's with the armadillos? I thought
they were found in the South. How do I keep them out of my
garden?"
A: Armadillos are indeed migrating northward.
They eat insects and grubs, but in the process of rooting for their
dinner armadillos can damage a lawn or garden. For tips on how to

Hot Topics
Tips for Saving Money on
Gas
-
Get the junk out of the
trunk. For every extra 250 pounds your engine hauls, the car
loses about one mile per gallon in fuel economy.
-
Slow down. While each
vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at different speeds, gas
mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. As a
rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph
is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.
-
Buy the lowest grade
(octane) of gasoline that is appropriate for your car. Check your
owner's manual for this information. As long as your engine doesn't
knock or ping, the fuel you're using is fine. You can save hundreds
of dollars a year.
-
Aggressive driving
(speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower
your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent
around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so
you may save more than gas money.
