CREEKSTONE REALTY
Creekstone Realty
Coming from a law enforcement family I learned early in life that honesty and integrity are the
foundation on which you must build your life. In 1972 I became general manager of a
successful corporation. I also worked in a large bank for 5 years and at the same time owned
a retail business. During that time I became licensed in Real Estate. I've traveled all over,but
after a trip to the Georgia mountains I made the decision to cut all ties and move here to
Cleveland. This is where the best time of my life began. My husband, Kevin and I love to fish,
garden, and scuba dive in our time off. The most important part of our life is family. I am the
owner and broker of Creekstone Realty, Inc. We are a family-operated business which is very
concerned with service. Please let me help you find the peace and happiness that I have found
here in the Georgia Mountains.

I've been interested in Energy Saving & Recycleing what we can. I realized that
simple things, even one thing can help our planet. I've started & maybe you would like
too or maybe you'd like more information

Use your dishwasher. Contrary to popular belief, it's greener than hand-washing - if you run it with
full loads & scrape rather than rinse. The average dishwasher in American homes today uses 8.7 gal. of
water. Washing by hand for 10 minutes with water running can use 20 gallons.
Do not over-dry laundry. An electric dryer operating an extra 15 minutes a load can cost you up to
$34 a year. Gas dryer, $21 a year. * Clean the lint trap before every load. A clean trap can save as
much as $35 a year in energy costs.
Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth & save as much as 10 gallons a day, a person.
Recycling one Soda (aluminum can) saves enough energy to run a television for three hours.
Polyethylene plastic bags take up to 1000 years to break down. Bring your own (string, canvas, any
kind of reusable) bags to grocery stores & say "no" to the store's plastic bags.
Power your home electronics off. A home office with a computer, printer, fax machine, computer
speakers, scanner & cordless phone could consume as much power as two 75-watt light bulbs left on
24/7. That could cost you $100 a year in electricity. Plug equipment into a surge protector-power
strip. Power off all equipment & then turn off the power strip at the end of the day.
A year's worth of newspapers from a big-city daily weighs nearly a half-ton. Every ton of paper that
gets recycled saves the equivalent of 17 trees, saves enough energy to power an average home for six
months, saves 7,000 gallons of water and keeps 60 pounds of pollutants out of the air.
Three simple ways to improve your GAS mileage: 1. Don't drive aggressively. Speeding, rapid
acceleration and hard braking can lower your highway gas mileage by as much as 33 percent and city
mileage by as much as 5 percent. 2. Don't go super-fast. Driving 75 mph instead of 65 mph can cut
fuel economy by as much as 15 percent. 3. Keep up with your car's maintenance. Clean air filters
can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. Properly inflated and aligned tires improve
mileage by about 3 percent.
