La Featuring Quinta Art Celebration 200 artists from across the U.S. and World
• Think money doesn’t grow on trees? Try telling that to a certain dog in Colombia. After seeing students pass money to a food stall attendant, the enterprising pooch began a regular practice of “paying” for dog biscuits with tree leaves. • In a few American cities, Halloween was originally called “Cabbage Night.” The name came from a Scottish fortune-telling game in which girls would use cabbage stumps to predict the identity of their future husband. • Sea sponges, like humans, sneeze to clear their internal filter systems. Unlike humans, such sneezes last about half an hour. • In the 18th century, some wealthy folks with gardens decorated their plots with “ornamental hermits” -- actual people whom they paid to dress like a Druid (however they took that to look) and wander around their estates. • In 2004, Alice Pike tried to use a fake $1 million bill to purchase $1,675 worth of merchandise at Walmart, expecting to receive change from the undoubtedly startled cashier. Well, she did think the bill was genuine ... as she remarked (from jail), “You can’t keep up with the U.S. Treasury.” (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Fascinating facts about Painting • The Earliest Known Oil Paintings Date Back to the 14th Century Before the emergence of linseed oil in paint artists had to mix the dried pigments into a paste using egg yolk! • Acrylic Paint Only Became Commercially Available In The 50s The resin was patented in 1915 by a chemist and inventor Otto Röhm from Germany and continued to be developed up until it became widely available, making painting a whole lot easier for artists. • World War II Brought Changes To The Paint Industry Linseed oil was in short supply during
World War II, forcing paint manufacturers to research other options. This led to the invention of artificial resins, which were cheap, held colour well and lasted a long time. • Artists Used to Store Their Paint in Animal Bladders The bladder was fashioned into pretty purses until the paint tube was invented in 1841. • Spray paint was invented in the 1949 By Edward H. Seymour, he added paint to existing spray can technology at his wife Bonnie’s suggestion. It’s usefulness in working illicitly at speed was exploited in the 1970s by Graffiti Artists.

Cahuilla Road, Palm Springs, Fridays 7:30 p.m., Saturdays 2 and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday 2 p.m. For tickets and information 760-322-0179 or dezartperforms.org.

“Shrinkflation.” That’s a word that’s been in the news lately, and one that we need to pay attention to. We know prices are increasing on our groceries. We see it every time we look at the price tags on the shelves when we shop, and certainly at the checkout. But shrinkflation is a different thing and can be harder to spot. Shrinkflation is sneaky price increases. In shrinkflation, the prices don’t go up, but what we get comes down. This is impacting most things across grocery stores, including dairy, shampoo, meats, frozen foods, toilet paper, pet food, pastries, candy bars, laundry detergent, sliced cheese, tea bags ... well, everything. Example: The price of a can of beans stays the same, but we get fewer ounces. Ex-
ample: The price of a loaf of bread stays the same, but it’s smaller. Same with cereal, which you’ll have noticed when the box sizes changed. In my case, one particular item (frozen meatballs) at my local store dropped from 64 meatballs to 56 ... fewer for the same money. Keep an eye on the unit pricing on the tag on the grocery store shelf. Yes, it’s in tiny print (which is one reason to carry a small magnifying glass at all times), but the numbers will tell you the unit price per fluid ounce, pound or count. Over time you’ll be able to see if you’re getting less for your money. Look at generics to save money (and, in many cases, get a better product) or just change brands. Buy more than one if the price is good, but watch the expiration dates. Lastly, consider signing up for a store’s loyalty card if you get cash benefits for doing so, and sign up for the emailed weekly sales flyer to shop from. By shopping carefully, we can beat them at their own game.

They were taking down a building on the campus of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign recently when they found a 116-yearold time capsule in the building’s cornerstone. It caused quite a stir as there was no record of the capsule. There’s plenty of time to think about what might be in the capsule; it won’t be opened until next fall when the university celebrates its 150th anniversary.
