Video: Lake Erie "Beyond the Surface" Part II

On the surface, it looks like any other body of water. Yet the 11th largest lake on earth has a deeper story to tell. In its currents flow a timeline of the American dream; its successes, its failures, and its future. The story of Lake Erie is one of environmental recovery, economic resurgence and diversity of purpose. Yet this is a very pivotal time for the lake and our region.

While experts believe that the quality of the lake improved dramatically from 1975 thru 1995, the past ten years have been more disturbing. Threatening invasive species, watershed problems and the need for economic utilization force us to learn how to best balance commerce, recreation, homeland security and environmental concerns.

WKYC-TV/HD presents Part 2 in our series "Lake Erie: Beyond the Surface." Shot completely in high definition, we explore the economic importance of one of our most precious natural resources.

News: Energy Saving Tips

As the cooler days and nights set in, we have some easy tips you can use to reduce your home energy costs and keep more $$$ in your wallet this winter:

1) Adjust the setting on your hot water tanks to "warm." Get an insulating blanket for the heater to make it run more efficiently. Insulate hot water pipes where they travel through unheated areas of the basement.

2) Add a storm door to your front door. Make sure your weatherstripping around that door and all others is intact. If not, replace it.

3) Check the attic to ensure proper insulation. Since heat rises, it will go right out your attic if it's not well insulated.

4) Install a new digital thermostat to allow you to program it depending on your lifestyle. Lower it during the day if no one is home.

5) Vacuum and/or replace your furnace filters, air conditioners and heat pump filters.
