Spot-The-Tot:
A Quick Checklist for Child Safety Around Vehicles Danger can come from any direction, and parents must be aware of the risk of
"backover" or "frontover" incidents. Many of these preventable injuries occur in
driveways or parking lots when drivers are unaware children are near vehicles.
Parents, caregivers, drivers, and kids can all do their part to make sure that
children do not share the same space as vehicles.
Walk all the way around your parked vehicle to check for children - or
anything that can attract a child like pets or toys - under or behind your
vehicle before getting in and starting the engine.
Accompany young children when they get in and out of a vehicle.
Identify and use safe play areas for children away from parked or moving
vehicles. Block driveways so cars cannot enter and exit.
Designate a safe spot within a driver’s sight for children to wait when
nearby vehicles are about to move.
Firmly hold the hand of each child when walking near moving vehicles and
when in driveways, in parking lots or on sidewalks. Article complements of safekids.org
August Is The BEST Month To Buy These… Linens & Storage Containers: As the kids head off to college, lots of stores
have sales on new dorm supplies.
Outdoor Toys & Camping Equipment: The weather won't be warm for much
longer, and stores want to get rid of these summer toys that take up tons of
space. You'll find some pretty great deals here if you shop around.
Kids' Clothing: It's back to school season, so lots of more
kid-oriented stores are having sales.
School Supplies: Again, back to school sales mean good deals
on lots of office supplies. You can either buy now, when the
sales are going on, or later in September, when stores are getting
rid of leftovers.
Wine: It's still early in the harvest, but you can find some smaller-run wines for
cheap during the month of August.

The Funny Bone Doh!...
A lady was buying a turkey
but she wasn’t pleased with
the one that the butcher
offered her.
“It’s not big enough,” she
specified.
The butcher knew that it was
his last turkey but he
pretended he would go and
have a look in the cold
storage. What he actually
did was, stretch the turkey’s
legs apart and put it in a
bigger box.
“Oh, that’s a good size,” said
the lady, when the butcher
showed it to her. “I’ll take
them both.”

1⁄3 cup soy sauce
1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon

What flavor!
Thanks for the Kind Words
“The service was quick and easy.
They fixed what needed to be
fixed. When I left there I felt like
I was driving a new car. I thought
that I may have needed more than
an oil change and I certainly did.
Also they were reasonable and I
trust them.”
- Joanne Valenti

3 Yoga Moves to Make You Less Grumpy 1. Downward-facing dog – Start on all fours with your
hands under your shoulders, palms pressing evenly into the
floor. Tuck your toes under and lift your knees off the floor
as you straighten your legs, as shown. Hold for three to five
breaths.
2. Forearm plank – Start on all fours, then lower onto your
forearms and slowly step your feet out behind you, as
shown, and tuck your tailbone slightly. (If this is too
difficult, drop to your knees.) Pull your abs in tight, and
hold for three to five breaths.
3. Legs up on the wall – Get yourself into this position with
a folded blanket under your butt and lower back, as shown.
Hang out here for up to 10 minutes, or whatever you have
time for. Then breathe a happy sigh of relief!
Garage Sale Insider Tips That Can Mean Big Savings 1. Keep a list of things you are looking for that you KNOW you want.
2. Find a good route, in a fairly affluent area, and follow the route and
signs along the way.
3. Get to know your prices, just as you do with your regular shopping.
4. Polish your negotiation skills! This is the best place in the world to
practice negotiating, even for kids.
5. In addition to items on your list, look for things that will make nice
gifts. Keep a list of those people you need to buy gifts for.
6. If you have an expensive car, use a different one for garage sales.
7. Look for block sales. These are great because you can park your car
and walk to several at once. Save gas!
8. Don’t be afraid to ask for something you might be looking for but
don’t see.
9. Budget a certain amount per month for garage sales. Keep the
money in an envelope so you will have cash for your purchases. If you
buy items to give as gifts, then you might add some to your garage
sale funds from your gift fund. There’s always a way to do some
creative financing here.

neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it

August Customer of the Month: Barbara Archer
Barbara Archer used to be a snowbird, visiting from Swarthmore, Philadelphia. She fell in love with the beauty of Venice and moved here as a full-time resident 12 years ago.
Long since retired from a career in retail, she now focuses solely on her passion for art and has become an award-winning professional painter.
Barbara has been creating distinctive been art and teaching art for over 40 years. Her teaching experience includes beginning and advanced drawing,
painting, soft pastels, color theory workshops, decorative painting and faux finishes.
Locally she’s has taught many classes at the Venice Art Center and is currently teaching at Creative Classes, located at 2357 S. Tamiami Trail in the Holiday Center.
“I love to teach adults classes on drawing, painting and pastels at Creative Classes in Holiday Center on Hwy 41,” Barbara said. “I’ve also enjoyed teaching at Venice and Englewood Art Center.”
“I paint mainly landscapes and portraits in oil, acrylic and pastel,” Barbara said. “I also do collaborative BrushedLens artwork with my partner, John Baldwin.”
Barbara explains that the BrushedLens unique artwork, like the blue heron and mother chick piece, combines John’s photography and her painting. More examples can be found on their website at http://thebrushedlens.artspan.com/.
When she isn’t indulging in her passion for painting Barbara can be found in her garden, tending to the fishpond in her back yard or boating with John.
Barbara has been a loyal customer of 1 Stop Car and Truck Repair since 2000 and considers herself a second-generation customer.
“My uncle always said he got really good service at 1 Stop,” Barbara explained. “One day I found one of their postcards reminding my uncle of an oil check and I decided to bring my own car in. I’ve been a customer ever since.”
Barbara doesn’t hesitate to refer people to 1 Stop Car and Truck Repair.
“Everyone at 1 Stop is very friendly, professional and extraordinarily honest,” Barbara said. “They tell me what’s wrong with the car without talking down to me because I’m a woman. They’re just really nice guys.”
