TRAVEL....Air Conditioning or Windows Down?(BPT) - Summer is peak travel season for most Americans. Those hoping to spend less on fuel and more on fun can find ways to stretch their travel budgets with better vehicle care and use. One hotly (pun intended) debated topic during summer driving season is whether it is more fuel efficient to use the air conditioner (AC) or roll down the windows and catch the breeze to stay cool. To settle the AC versus windows question, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee compared the performance of a Ford Explorer and a Toyota Corolla. It’s probably no surprise that fuel consumption was the lowest when AC was off and the windows were up. But that’s not a great option on a 95-degree day. When driving at speeds slower than 75 mph, researchers found it was more efficient to roll down the windows. At speeds faster than 75 mph, it was more efficient to run the AC in the Corolla, but not the Explorer, likely because the larger cabin was harder to cool. Edmunds.com experts found similar results with a Toyota Tundra, which got almost ten percent better gas mileage at 65 mph with the windows down and AC off. In Consumer Reports tests with a Honda Accord, using air conditioning while driving at 65 mph reduced gas mileage by more than 3 mpg, while the effect of opening the windows at 65 mph was not measurable. So deciding whether to choose AC or open windows depends on driving speed, wind speed, terrain, vehicle size and aerodynamics. Thankfully, other ways to improve fuel efficiency are less complicated. Good vehicle maintenance is the best way to improve fuel economy, says Andrew Hamilton, technical services and quality manager for Cenex brand lubricants. “To maintain your vehicle's top fuel efficiency, perform regular maintenance, including oil changes and replacing the air filter and spark plugs,” says Hamilton. Use the manufacturer recommended engine oil to get the most from your engine. “Using the wrong oil viscosity can reduce fuel efficiency by five to ten percent,” says Hamilton. “Use the correct oil grade and choose an engine oil that contains friction modifiers, such as a full-synthetic oil like Cenex Maxtron.” Finally, don’t forget tire care. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 1.25 billion gallons of gas are wasted every year by driving on underinflated tires. “Properly inflated tires last longer, reduce braking distance and improve fuel efficiency,” says Hamilton. The inflation guidelines can be found in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door. For more gas-saving tips and to nominate someone to win free fuel, visit Cenex.com. Man Caught Toppling StatueToms River Police said security cameras in the city's downtown recorded a man trying -- and initially failing -- to knock over the bronze statue about 3:20 a.m. Sunday. The statue, one of 20 placed around the business district as "cultural enhancements" on loan from Seward Johnson Grounds for Sculpture, eventually topples as the man violently rocks it back and forth. "The statues typically weigh over 1,000 pounds and, as seen on the video, take a significant effort to knock them over," police said in a Facebook post.

Columcille Offers Guided Tours Second Saturdays
The tour will start at 10:00am with an orientation talk in the standing stone circle by Irish historian and storyteller Tom Egan who will explain the park's mission and the origins of European standing stone monuments. Tom will also give details on the origins and extent of the European Celtic culture with a short explanation about the gods and goddesses of ancient Celtic Mythology. Included is an explanation of who Columcille was in the context of early Irish history and an explanation of how the park's founder Bill Cohea became inspired to create the beautiful place we will be touring.
The tour will then begin. Stops along the tour will include St. Columba's Chapel, St Oran's Chapel, Signal Hill, Thor's Gate, the Labyrinth, Temple of the Glen and the Cauldron stone. Plus the Fairy Ring, the Sacred Mens's site, Celtic eye, the Sacred Women's site, Manannan's Stone and the Sirius Stone. At each stop along the tour the special meaning of that place will be discussed, particularly as the place relates to the topics that were covered in the initial orientation talk. These discussions at the sites along the way typically vary considerably in content and depth to keep them responsive to the varied interests of individuals taking each tour. The tours will end at the Voyagers Lounge around noon, where those on the tour are invited to sign the guest book and examine the publications, crystals and other material related to the park that are available there.

Ask The Doc........ Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing. Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making. I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile. It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry. Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com. Slate Belt Senior Center
