ENERGY EFFICIENCY - Rotary Club President Stephen Bell welcomed Mitch Ross, statewide manager of energy efficiency with the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation (AECC), as this week's guest speaker at the Rotary Club of Arkadelphia.
He provided tips on how to make your home more energy efficient. With the hot summer days already here, he offered ways to save on your energy bill.

Who knew August in Arkansas would deliver inches of rainfall and below normal temperatures? But, the heat will return and we will have many air conditioning days left this year. If you have a window air conditioning unit, this month's column is for you. http://arkansaslivingmagazine.com/article/a-window-ac-primer/
