HEALTH TIP
FOOD FRAUDS!
Some foods that we think are healthy can be sneaky little diet wreckers. University of Pittsburgh nutritionist Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, shares a few of these "food frauds," starting with Caesar salad. Just a small bowl has 300-400 calories and 30 grams of fat, thanks to loads of dressing. For other food frauds and possible remedies, CLICK HERE.

SAVINGS TIP OF THE WEEK!
When doing laundry, save energy, time and money by using shorter wash cycles. According to the Whirlpool Institute of Fabric Science, six to eight minutes is plenty if clothes or linens have been used just a few times and are not stained.
|
 MAGNET WARNING!
So many purses and wallets now come with those handy magnetic closures, but they may be strong enough to deactivate your credit cards. The First Data Payment Processing Company of Atlanta warns that some store security-tag deactivators can also damage the cards. Keep your cards in a section of your wallet or purse far away from the magnets. Avoid the security-tag remover by always handing your card directly to the cashier rather than placing it on the counter.

Learn about current oyster restoration efforts and St. Lucie River restoration. The lecture begins at 7:00 p.m., is open to the public, free of charge and reservations are not required.
