local families to participate in a challenge to win three months' worth of energy bills.  The Alabama Public Service Commission announced this year's Anybody Can Service, So Let's Conserve energy efficiency campaign called the "Anybody Can Serve 30-60-90 Challenge".</div> <bR> <div> A colloborative effort of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, AARP and the Council of State Governments, among other groups, Anybody Can Serve was introduced last year as a way to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by making it a day of service.</div> <bR> <div> This second year of the campaign features the "30-60-90 Day Challenge" in which each state will choose one low to middle-income family (with a household income no greater than $50,000) to participate in a conservation challenge.  Each of the selected families will recive an Energy Efficiency Toolkit containing energy-efficient light bulbs, a water-heater insulation blanket, weather stripping and caulk to use on their home.  They will also receive a webcam to aid them in documenting their conservation efforts through video blogs, which will be posted on the Anybody Can Serve website.  </div> <bR> <div> Participating families will be asked to submit their utility bills from April, May, June of 2009 to establish a baseline cost for their utility services.  After weatherizing their homes and installing the efficiency devices, they will report their utility bills for April, May and June 2010.  The family that shows the greatest gain in efficiency will have their utility bills paid for three months.</div> <bR> <div> You'll find the online registration site from a link on the Alabama Public Service Commission's home on at www.psc.alabama.gov.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP

HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Art exhibit is full of fresh air</B></div> <div> The Mountain Valley Arts Council introduced it's newest gallery exhibit entitled "Local Colors".  The new exhibit is a collage of <I>en plein air </I>paintings, metal sculputure,  and handmade jewelry.  Twelve artists and two artisans from Marshall and Madison Counties have come together in a spectacular showing of locally-inspired artwork.</div> <bR> <div> <I>En plein air</I> is French and means "in the open air".  The expression is used particularly to describe the act of painting outdoors.</div> <bR> <div> Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-19th century, working in natural light became particularly important to Impressionism.  The popularity of painting <I>en plein air</I> increased in the 1870s with the introduction of ready-to-use paints in tubes.  Previously, artists had to grind and mix dry pigment powders with linseed oil.  </div> <bR> <div> It was also during this period that the French Box Easel was invented.  This new tool, highly portable with telescoping legs and built-in paint box and palette, made excursions into the forest and up hillsides less onerous.  Still made today, they remain an ever-popular choice for the outdoor artist.  </div> <bR> <div> Some well known Impressionist painters were great proponents of the technique including Claude Monet, Camille Pissaro, and Pierre-August Renoir.  Much of their work was done outdoors, in the diffused light provided by a large, white umbrella.</div> <bR> <div> The idea for the MVAC exhibit came from a group of local artists known as the Wyeth Circle.  In the Spring of 2009, the group invited a world-renowned <I>en plein air</I> artist and instructor Sam D'Ambruoso to come to Guntersville to teach a workshop.  Several artists from Huntsville also joined the group.  Mr. D'Amburoso chose locations to paint in Marshall County that exhibited the most beautiful Spring foliage and color.  The group invited Mr. D'Amburoso to return in the Fall for a follow-up workshop.  </div> <bR> <div> As a result of these classes, many beautiful paintings were created of some of the most beautiful scenes in Marshall County.  The students wished to share their love of creating art from the outdoors and proposed the exhibit to the MVAC.  They further wanted the exhibit to contain three dimensional works by local artisans to add variety to the show.  From the inspiration of the Wyeth Circle, "Local Colors" was born.</div> <bR> <div> Participating artists are Freeda and Phil Vest of Guntersville, Ed Williams of Arab, Milla Sachs of Guntersville, Glenda Bragg of Huntsville, Sara Ann Frank of Huntsville, David Hammock of Arab, Jason Stoddard of Guntersville, Sarah Thiemonge of Huntsville, and Ann Upchurch of Huntsville.</div> <bR> <div> The exhibit will be on display through February. Gallery hours are Monday - Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p..m.  The MVAC is located on Gunter Avenue in northtown Guntersville.  For more information, call the MVAC office at 256-571-7199.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 75 WIDTH="251"><div>  <FORM ACTION="http://www.fun927.com/snd/snd2.php" METHOD="POST"> <input type=hidden name="recipient" value="birthdayclub@fun927.com"><input type=hidden name="required" value="realname, email"> <P ALIGN=Center> First and Last Name:   <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="realname"> <P ALIGN=Center> Daytime Phone: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Daytime phone"> <P ALIGN=Center> City where you live: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="City where you live"> <P ALIGN=Center> email: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email"> <P ALIGN=Center> Name of Company where you work? <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="employer"> <P ALIGN=Center> City where you work: <INPUT TYPE=”text” NAME=”city where you work”> <P ALIGN=Center> <INPUT TYPE=submit> </FORM> <P ALIGN=Center>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="272"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="75" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="272" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="243"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="75" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="243" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
