A few month’s ago a friend of mine, who owns a Flea Market, asked if we would be interested in helping their community compile a listing of all the shops in their town and perhaps provide a printed map so visitors could find them more easily. I was happy to look into the idea and was pleasantly surprised to find how many Flea Markets there are in the NWA area. It is much bigger than I ever imagined! After days of visiting one store after another, what excites me the most is how every shop I visited is uniquely different from the others. I quickly realized the importance to promote a list of every Flea Market in NWA by providing a FREE online listing available at your finger tips.

The mayor of Prairie Grove was quoted in an article 6

Mercy Flyer CMYK.indd 6

9/5/13 9:50 PM

last year stating that their town was “A little Branson of Flea Markets...” Once you step inside any Flea Market, you have went back in time and opened a treasure chest of endless stories about our nation’s history and our own memories. Most of the shops have multiple booths inside their store, each one displaying their own unique products.

After beginning our journey, we found every town in NWA is a little Branson of Flea Markets... We have learned these business owners are involved in the support of their local community and other non-profit organizations and in fact are making a difference in our future while preserving the past.

We are proud to announce in this article the launch of http://nwafleamarkets.com !!! Be sure to read our article each month as we will be featuring how business owners are making a difference in their communities. Take time to visit our website and schedule your trip to tour each town in NWA and visit every Flea Market listed... I encourage you to invite other friends and family to go with you on your journey so you can share your memories and have fun out and about!

ENJOY! ENJOY! ENJOY! Tim Pennington NWA Flea Markets .com 7

Why is it so hard to talk to the ones we love about the really big things?...the really big things like how should it go at the time of death?

How do you start the conversation?

Do you try, ”What if…”?

Maybe, “You know, Honey, I’m really concerned about…”

Should you stay general: “You know, theoretically, people don’t get out of this world alive...”?

Why is it we can talk about what TV program to watch or where to go out to eat, but we can’t talk about the possibility of death or how we should plan for it?

Does talking about death bring bad luck?

How can we talk about death and keep hope alive?

Should we call in an expert on something that seems so personal and private?

The folks at Washington Regional Hospice have experience talking about these really big things. They’re a team of folks – doctors, nurses, chaplains, social workers, and volunteers. Surely someone in that group speaks your language and can help start the conversation. Call and ask to set up an information visit today to find out more about what Hospice does for you and your loved ones, 1-800-HOSPICE ( 1-800-467-7423).

Car Care 101 Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Car Running Longe

Be Mindful of Brakes – Allowing you the very important ability to stop your vehicle, the maintenance of brakes is vital. Have them checked annually by a professional and be aware of the signs of wear including delayed response when pushing on your brake pedal, the brake light appearing on your dashboard or any high-pitched squeal or harsh grinding sounds.

Change Oil Often – Oil is the lifeblood that keeps key engine components in good working condition by reducing friction and wear. Change your oil about every three months, or check your owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals. This will ensure you are doing your part to maintain the frequency of oil changes your car needs.

Always be sure to check for proper oil levels when preparing for any long trip you may be planning.

Use Engine Treatment – To reduce wear and extend engine life, use an engine treatment, such as Synergyn XtrA MPG anti-friction formula. This added lubrication can keep your engine running smoother, providing greater wear protection than oil alone and extends the life of your car’s engine.

Change Power Steering Fluid – This part of your vehicle helps you to steer with minimal effort. Be sure to have the power steering fluid changed every 50,000 miles or three years. If your fluid level is low, you may have a leak which will need to be reviewed by a mechanic.

Replace Engine Coolant – In order to keep your engine running efficiently, engine coolant removes excess heat. Depending on the type you purchase, most antifreeze or engine coolants can last from 30,000 - 50,000 miles, or about three years. You can check your engine’s level by locating the plastic coolant reservoir under your hood.

Replace Air Filter – The air filter prevents airborne contaminants from being pulled into your car’s engine. Because wear is dependent on amount of driving, regular highway drivers should have their air filters replaced about every 15,000 miles to improve fuel economy, emissions and performance. Another way to improve fuel economy is by using an engine treatment product, such as Synergyn XTrA MPG Engine Treatment.

Maintain Tire Pressure – Having the right amount of pressure in your tires can prevent poor mileage, tire blowouts or uneven wear. Because a change in temperature can dramatically impact tire pressure, it is important to check tire pressure with extreme weather changes, or to be on the safe side, every couple months.

Rotate Your Tires – To keep the amount of wear on tread even, minimize vibration of wheels and prolong the performance of your tires, get your tires rotated regularly. Most professionals recommend a rotation around every 4,000 miles or when you go in for oil changes.

For more information on improving fuel economy, reducing wear and extending the life of your car’s engine, visit www.synergynusa.com.
