Deputies were unable to find the dogs or any owners, but several neighbors said there is a den of coyotes in the area. The reported dogs matched the description of the coy- otes. Vandalism • The rear window of a 1984 GMC was reported broken out Monday in the 1300 block of Lincoln Street.

She makes beau- tiful handcrafted jewelry and sells it in boutiques and gift shops around the city where she lives. Her prices are way below average for comparable products, but she prefers it that way because her pieces always sell quickly. One of her accounts is the local hospital gift shop. Read on, and you'll understand why her clever sales techniques came to my mind. TREASURE HIDDEN IN HOS- PITAL. I have discovered some of the most unique and reasonably priced pieces of jewelry at hospital gift shops. Often these items are locally made. -- Mary, Georgia TWO-FISTED WINDOW WASHER. I use two microfiber cloths and warm water for washing my windows, no longer requiring paper towels or cleaning products to do the job. I just wet one of the cloths with warm water, wring it out and wipe down the window (or mirror). I use the second cloth as a "polishing" cloth to dry and polish the glass. This is the quickest method I have ever used for washing my windows. For the first time, I have streak-free win- dows, with no film or residue. Good for the environment, good for my bud- get and easier on my time, too! -- Dawn, Wisconsin PART-TIME AIR CONDI- TIONING. When I turn on the air conditioner in my car, I set the fan to recirculate, rather than pulling in out- side air. Once the air inside the car is cool, I turn off the air conditioner but leave the fan running. It continues to blow cooled air for quite a while. I drive a Chevy Cobalt and recently drove for nearly 30 minutes in 95 degree heat, and the car remained comfortable. This tactic helps with gas mileage and performance if you drive a four-cylinder car like mine. -- Dollie, North Carolina Esther, email Mary Hunt CLEVER HUMAN TRICK. I massage tender areas of my back by putting a tennis ball into a king-size pillow case. I hold the open end and throw the case with the ball inside over my shoulder. I lower or raise the pillowcase and position the ball in hard-to-reach areas of the back. Then I move my body and the ball against a wall for a perfect massage in just the right spots. The ball never gets away from me, as a loose ball might. -- Everyday Cheapskate STINGY SOFTENING SAVES $$. My best laundry savings tip is to cut dryer sheets into four pieces with a pair of scissors. I use one strip for each load of laundry. I've found that one strip is as effective in the dryer as one full sheet. -- Sue, email FILE UNDER "D" FOR DECORATIONS. For the different holidays, I use gel cling decorations on my win- dows and storm door, then store them for reuse in plastic folders available in any office supply store. The gels cling to the plastic folder without damage, keeping them clean and dust-free. The folders can be labeled by holiday and stored easily just about anywhere. -- Lori, Michigan Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state.
