Editor’s note
New Smart editor, April Trotter
“We could buy a camper.” The words came out of my mouth, but I couldn’t believe I had said them. My husband, Mark, and I had been talking about our summer plans, and, oddly enough, buying a camper seemed like a logical choice. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not the rugged, outdoorsy type. But traveling on the open road with all of the amenities of home seems tempting. After reading the story on pages 18-19, I might be convinced that owning an RV could be a new goal. It’s likely that we’ll spend much of the summer at our new home, where we’ve undertaken some landscaping projects. We recently bought trees,
a first-time task that we researched (and called a friend who’s a forester). To find the tree that’s right for your yard, check out the guide on pages 22-23. After a hard day of working in the yard, I might indulge in a cocktail that I could spruce up with some basil from my container garden. I’ll use the recipes on page 10 as inspiration. The basil gimlet from Victor’s Italian Restaurant sounds refreshing. Those recipes could also be useful if you’re planning a Fourth of July party. It’s not too late to grab some of the accessories we found on pages 26-27. Plan to watch the local fireworks displays, which are listed on page 32. Don’t forget that the London 2012 Olympics begin July 27. Find out how to get in touch with your innerOlympian on page 44.
This summer, I’m passing the torch to April Trotter, who is the new editor for Smart. April is from Tunkhannock, which is near Scranton, and lives in Fairview Township. She earned her journalism degree from Penn State in 2007. She likes to play kickball and dabbles in gardening, which you can read about on page 24. You can reach her at atrotter@ydr.com or @apriltrotter on Twitter. April created the 100 Days of Summer online guide to summer fun, which you can find at smartmagpa.com. Be sure to check it throughout the summer if you need something to do. And if you’re headed to the beach or a day of lounging by the pool, don’t forget to take Smart with you.

Herbs with spirit Sprigs from your garden add a refreshing twist to your favorite summer cocktails. By Susan Jennings for Smart
Nothing says summer quite like sipping a refreshing cocktail on the deck. This year, spice up your favorite summer standbys with clippings from your herb garden. Everything from basil to thyme to lavender can infuse fresh flavors to otherwise played-out drinks. Nadine Reiss, the director at the Capitol Bartending School in Harrisburg, said that these days, mixologists are treating cocktails more like a dish than a drink. “People are getting way more experimental than they were 10 years ago,” she said. When using herbs in a drink, she recommends using a basic, clear alcohol that will complement the flavor. Chameleon-like vodka works well because it takes on
Basil gimlet
Basil berry
Pinch of basil 1¼ ounce lime juice 1¼ ounce vodka
3 destemmed strawberries 2 lemon slices 3 leaves of flat basil ½ ounce simple syrup 2 ounces vodka ½ ounce fresh lemon juice Champagne or sparkling wine, to taste Strawberry for garnish
Muddle basil then add lime juice and vodka and strain mixture into a martini glass. Garnish with basil leaf. — Victor’s Italian Restaurant, York

the flavor or whatever it’s mixed with, she said. And gin, with its complex, botanical undertones, is a great match for basil, rosemary or thyme. “One of my personal favorite fresh summer drinks is muddling cilantro and mango together and adding a flavored vodka — like a tangerine-flavored vodka —ice and soda water,” Reiss said. “It’s really light, really refreshing.” Want to go even further outside your comfort zone — try lavender. “People tend to think of lavender as bath soap,” Reiss said. “But if you make it a cocktail, it’s actually really good.” She likes mixing a little lavender-infused simple syrup in a gin martini with a splash of blackberry liquor. The following herbal-infused cocktail recipes come from restaurants throughout the state.
Watermelon verbena sangria 1 bottle of light wine, such as Torrontes 1 seedless watermelon, peeled and cubed ¼ cup rum ¼ cup Cointreau ¼ cup brandy Simple syrup, to taste 1 can Sprite 1 lemon, juiced 1 bunch of lemon verbena, for garnish
The Zephyr 3 slices of cucumber 3 sage leaves Simple syrup, to taste Gin, to taste Muddle cucumber, sage and simple syrup. Put mixture in a rocks glass with ice, top with gin. — Firecreek Restaurant, Downingtown
In a pitcher, add wine, watermelon, rum, Cointreau and brandy. Let steep for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, add simple syrup to taste. Pour over ice. Slap lemon verbena to release the fragrance and oils and garnish each glass. — Bolete, Bethlehem

Using herbs According to Nadine Reiss, director at the Capitol Bartending School in Harrisburg, there a few different ways you can use herbs in a cocktail: Muddling — Put herbs at the bottom of your glass and use a plastic or wooden muddler to mash them down and extract the flavor. Don’t mash too much though, cautioned Reiss. “You don’t want a chomped up gross-looking mess in your beverage.” After muddling, add the alcohol, shake the mixture, strain it and pour over ice.
10 | smart
Simple syrup — Many cocktail recipes call for simple syrup or some other type of sweetener. To make simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Add any type of herb, allowing it to steep for at least 20 minutes before straining into an airtight container. Make sure the syrup isn’t boiling when adding the herbs, Reiss said, so you don’t cook the flavor out of the herbs. Experimenting with flavors — making simple syrups by reducing fruit juices and steeping herbs in the reduction.
Infusing alcohol — Another way to add herbal flavors to a cocktail is to infuse the alcohol itself with the flavor. To do this, muddle the herbs then add them to a bottle of alcohol and let it steep for a few days in the refrigerator. Avoid mold growth by making sure that everything you’ve muddled is completely covered by 80-proof alcohol, Reiss said.

Braids are a hot weather hair fix I enjoy the warm weather, but lately York has been experiencing record-high temperatures and lots of humidity. Hot temperatures can make for a lot of bad hair days. To avoid this, try a fun updo with braids.
Here’s how:
Gather top half your hair at your temple, and divide the section into two parts. Braid one side and secure it with a small, clear elastic band. Bring it over to the opposite side of your head, and pin it with bobby pins. Next, braid the other side. Secure it with another small, clear elastic band, and bring that braid over to the other side. Pin it in place. Take the remaining back section of hair and make a third braid, and secure with elastic band. Bring the braid up toward the front of your head and secure it with bobby pins. I added a decorative barrette to help conceal some of my bobby pins. TIPS: ■■ This is not a formal updo, so don’t worry about it looking too neat and tidy. Think more in terms of looking like a carefree hippie than a prom queen.

When Garby’s Salon opened 15 years ago, it was one of five salons in Red Lion. Today, there are 15 salons nearby. It’s a sign that nail-salon services continue to be popular as people forgo more expensive entertainment and opt for more affordable indulgences. A trip to the salon with friends can be a quick and inexpensive way to pamper yourself. Jo Anna Shovlin of Windsor Township, who has been sporting stylish nails for as long as she can remember, said she is impressed with the array of choices she has now compared to years ago. Shovlin admires the elaborate artwork performed by today’s nail technicians. “The designs they create today are awesome,” she said. When it comes to her own nails, Shovlin is partial to pink-and-white acrylic nail tips, a triedand-true favorite, a specialty at Garby’s Salon. “My clients like these because they are durable and natural looking,” said Garby Snell, owner of the salon. Shovlin gets a touchup every two weeks, along with a paraffin dip to combat dryness. “Paraffin dip has been around for a long time,” Snell said. “It’s a deep moisturizer, excellent for arthritis and especially popular during the winter months.”
For those daunted by the upkeep required by nail tips, shellac is a durable option that can last for several weeks. “The shellac and the color gels are a nice alternative,” Snell said. “The shellac, made by Creative Nail Design, is what I believe to be the best. It’s a chip-free, extended-wear color that applies like polish and dries with an LED light. Eighty percent of the people who use it say it’s excellent.” Another shellac-type product that promises a long-lasting, flawless manicure that will last weeks without breaking, chipping or flaking is Gelish. It offers more colors than shellac and includes neons, which are popular with younger clients. Snell suggests returning to the salon for removal of Gelish and shellac, which is included in the price of reapplication at most salons. “It’s easier on the nails to have it done professionally and only takes about 10 to 15 minutes,” she said. For those who suffer from allergies, Snell recommends silk wraps. “The silk wrap is a resin — a thin fabric that looks like a natural nail and is less damaging and drying to the natural nail,” she said. Cost-conscious consumers yearning for a bit of flair might want to opt for crackle polish, a relatively new product that is gaining popularity

and is offered by many salons. The polish comes in a variety of colors and creates a shatter effect on nails as it dries. Mini-manicures also are an option for those with both time and cost constraints. Or why not take advantage of a “polish change,� offered by many salons? Most “polish changes� include not only the removal and application of polish but also nail shaping, sanding and cuticle trimming. These services and more can have you creating your own unique nail style in no time, customized to your time, taste and budget.

Speak the lingo Shellac: A chip-resistant option that looks like polish, but it dries in minutes and lasts longer than traditional polish. Gelish: Similar to shellac but offers more colors, including neon, which is popular right now.
Silk wrap: Recommended for people with allergies, it’s a thin fabric that looks like a natural nail and is less damaging and drying to the natural nail.
Crackle: Polish that comes in a variety of colors and creates a shatter effect on nails as it dries.
Magnetic: Iron shavings are infused in the nail polish. After applying the polish a magnet is swept over to create various patterns.

Rising to the challenge By APRIL TROTTER for Smart
Jess Reed is 30 pounds lighter these days. That success didn’t come from crash dieting or weight-loss supplements. Instead, Reed ate right, exercised and sweated her way toward her goals. The Springettsbury Township mother of three has been training multiple times a week at Phases Fitness in York Township. She has also had many successes off the scale: making it through entire fitness classes, folding herself into a “half pretzel” during yoga and figuring out how to fit some much-needed “me time” into her busy schedule. In addition to shedding pounds, Reed is also losing inches and body fat. And she’s coming to terms with the deep-seeded emotions that accompany such a big lifestyle change. She wrote during Week 8: I had quite an emotional breakdown today, and evidently this is all part of the process. I didn’t really consider what effect this journey would have on me mentally; I just considered the physical aspect. I didn’t get to be 300 pounds by loving myself, so I should have seen this coming. Reed has struggled in her weight-loss challenge at times, and has reminded us that she is human and makes mistakes.
SMART TIP:
But one bite of brownie or a late-night snack at a bar didn’t make her fall off the wagon; instead, it inspired her to push forward and continue on her lifechanging journey. Phases co-owner Mindy Quesenberry has been with Reed every step of that journey. Quesenberry has weighed in on Reed’s progress each week and has offered suggestions to anyone else considering creating a healthier lifestyle. She has remained vigilant in Reed’s fitness and nutrition goals. In addition to coaching Reed, Quesenberry has been a sounding board and — along with Reed’s husband, family and friends — one of her biggest supporters. Quesenberry wrote during Week 5: Jess is a real person, with responsibilities, real emotions and has to go about her everyday life while attempting to walk through this journey. There is no monetary prize, there are no promises, and the account of her journey is as she sees it. The prize she will receive from all of this is the people she will inspire, the strength gained emotionally, and an overall new view of wellness. There is no bigger prize! You can follow along on the Smart Health Challenge — with everything from cupcake wars to ‘80s prom nights — at smartmagpa.com.
For an emotional connection to your weight loss, Mindy Quesenberry recommends setting three, realistic, short-term goals that will result in one, big, long-term goal.

Summer is prime time for chowing down food that sticks to your ribs — and your gums. From corn on the cob and fresh veggies to berry seeds and barbecue ribs, there are plenty of reasons to reach for the floss after that family picnic. Unfortunately, from a dentist’s perspective, even the discomfort of food lodged in their mouth isn’t enough to get patients flossing regularly. Dr. Fabio Beltran of Shrewsbury Family Dentistry in Shrewsbury Township said that a small percentage of his patients floss seven days a week. “Fifty percent floss very little or not at all,” he said. “Ten percent or less floss every day.” Their biggest excuse? “I’m too busy. That’s probably the No. 1,” he said.

Not flossing can have short- and longterm effects on a person’s health. While brushing can rid your mouth of some bacteria that builds up from eating and drinking, it doesn’t get in the crevices between your teeth and gums. Built up over time, the bacteria can cause cavities, gingivitis (gum inflammation) and bad breath. If left unchecked, it will lead to periodontal disease and tooth loss, Beltran said. If halitosis and missing teeth aren’t incentive enough to floss, consider this: “They’re finding more and more information about how patients who floss on a regular basis have a 24 percent reduced chance of getting heart disease,” Beltran said. That’s right, not flossing can affect your heart health. What’s more, periodontal disease in pregnant moms has also been linked to low birth weight. Other studies have found potential links between oral health and Alzheimer’s
disease and cancer. But flossing can be kind of a pain, right? Beltran said he hears the excuse — especially from older patients with arthritis — that they lack the dexterity to floss. Others say they stopped flossing because it’s too painful and it makes their gums bleed. Tools such as dental picks and floss threaders can help patients who have trouble with traditional flossing, Beltran said. And while most people think they need to stop flossing when they see blood, Beltran said that it’s just part of the recovery process. After a week or two of flossing regularly, patients should notice less pain and bleeding. “I think for adults — if you haven’t started, you can always start and you’re always going to find improvement in your dental health by flossing,” Beltran said.
Flossing bits ‘n pieces On June 29, 2011, 3,000 fans at a Lowell, Mass. Spinners’ baseball game flossed simultaneously as part of the Massachusetts Dental Society “Floss Night.” MDS maintains this is a record for simultaneous flossing. On March 19, 2004, 1,470 students, parents and teachers at Lake Norman Elementary School and Brawley Middle School in Mooresville, N.C., flossed their teeth for 55 seconds on a single line of dental floss measuring 6,000 feet (1.14 miles).

How to floss
Dr. Fabio Beltran, who practices at Shrewsbury Family Dentistry, offered the following flossing tips: 1. Use about a foot of floss — for people who have teeth that are tightly space, he recommends using waxed or Teflon-coated floss such as Glide. 2. Wrap floss two or three times around two fingers. 3. Gently insert floss between two teeth and make a “C” shape, wrapping the floss around one side. 4. Glide the floss up and down gently two or three times (more if you haven’t flossed in a long time or have more plaque buildup) — making sure to go under the gum line. Repeat on other side. 5. Repeat process between all teeth. 6. Brush 7. Rinse with oral rinse such as Listerine.
Kids and flossing
Beltran recommended that children be introduced to floss once they have most, if not all, of their baby teeth. However, if you have a resistant young flosser on your hands, he said there’s no need to start enforcing a daily habit until they’ve developed all of their permanent teeth — generally by the time they’re 12 or 13.

When home is on the road For family vacation fun... there’s a camper for everyone
Jim and Christy Simons of Hanover leave town with their kids, Trinity, 7, Dalton, 2, and Hope, 10 (not pictured) in their travel trailer at least once a month in the summer. Christy says her favorite destination is Tall Pines Harbor in Stanton, Va. Photos by KATE PENN for Smart
By STEPHANIE KALINA-METZGER for Smart
Christy Simons of Hanover spent many years camping as a child, so when her father invited her family to stay in his RV, she and her husband packed up the kids and took off for a campground in New York. “We liked it so much that we went out and bought our own,” she said. Her children, 10, 7 and 2 years old, now look forward to each new camping season. “We take them to the playgrounds and the arcades and they enjoy fishing and campfires and meeting other children,” she said. If the gas prices climb too high, they won’t miss out on their much-anticipated family vacation. “We can always camp locally. There are a lot of campgrounds in Gettysburg where we can go this year,” she said. Middletown mom Suzanne Williams also
enjoys the RV lifestyle. “We bought our RV about a year and a half ago and we love it. It is fun to set up your traveling ‘house’ and live at a different place for several days or longer,” she said. The Williams family also enjoys the many activities available at the campgrounds. “Most have fishing, biking, outdoor movies, arts and crafts, swimming and trail walking,” she said. “It really brings families together. My 7-year-old daughter, Eden, cannot wait until RV season.” Dan Saltzgiver, owner of Reichart’s Camping Center in Hanover, agrees that traveling in an RV is a bonding experience. “It allows you to spend quality time with them,” he said. “Many of these campgrounds are destinations in a sense. Some have miniature golf, water slides and other activities for the family. Disney even has an RV park where you have the option of staying in one of their units or bringing your own,” he added.
Financing For customers who want a sneak peek before they visit a retailer, many RV stores list prices and pictures on their websites and long-term financing is often available. “We finance up to 15 years, which makes it very affordable. Interest rates with the RVs are very low — some as low as 5.5 percent and the interest is tax 18 | smart

deductible since it’s considered a second home, which adds to the affordability as well. Many of the new units are as low as $150/month,” Saltzgiver said. And for those who want to buy a used unit, financing is available as well, but typically for a shorter term. So, grab the kids and explore. Your home away from home awaits — with a price and a style for every taste.
Choices galore
Foot Pain?
Motorhomes
Many doctors and physical therapists refer their patients to Foot Solutions to aid in pain reductions and balance improvements.
There are many options to fit a variety of budgets and lifestyles, and, although salesmen at RV centers are able to give you advice, it can’t hurt to learn in advance what choices are available.
Class A Motorhome Conventional Class A’s contain most of the amenities of home, with comfort being the key consideration. Most models include centrally controlled heat and air, as well as a kitchen, bathroom and entertainment center. Once vacationers arrive at their destination, they can double their living space with “slide outs,” which can add up to 3 feet on either side with a mere push of a button. Class B Motorhome The Class B RV usually contains a bathroom, a sleeping area and a small kitchen area. Big enough for four people to sleep in, it ranges from 16 to 21 feet. They are a good choice for those who want better gas mileage and don’t spend a lot of time in their camper.
“Hybrids have been around for 10 to 12 years or more now,” said Saltzgiver. “They are a very popular part of our business and are not quite as heavy to tow. They include many amenities, such as an awning, bathroom, shower and stove.”
Towables The fifth wheel Fifth wheels range from 21 to 40 feet and include all the conveniences of home and then some. Popular options include a panoramic window to enjoy taking in nature’s beauty, or a ramp to aid in transporting other vehicles. “We sell what we call ‘toy haulers,’ which is a fifth wheel with a ramp, for motorcycles and four wheelers. It’s like having a garage on your RV,” Saltzgiver said. Lightweight towables Dick Ritter, owner of Kennedy RV and Powersports in Dillsburg, said many customers are opting for lightweight towables. “They are more streamlined and made to be pulled with a half-ton truck or a full-sized SUV,” he said.

Current trends Depending on your budget, you can opt for as basic or as luxurious a model as you can afford. According to Ritter, “the latest craze is outside kitchens — which include a stove, refrigerators, cookprep area and storage. You just lift up a door and pull it out,” he said. Also popular now are outside bathrooms. “You can go directly in and out of the restroom, without walking through the camper,” he said. This option might be popular with families who want to take a beach vacation and avoid tracking sand through the living area.

Pack it up, pack it in Let the (organized!) summer fun begin By APRIL TROTTER for Smart
We’ve all seen — or even worse, been — that family at the beach. You know, the family with a chair for every member, enough sand toys to entertain all of the kids in the ocean, several coolers of drinks and a cabana. The family who doesn’t look like they’re going to enjoy some sand and surf for the afternoon so much as setting up shop for the week. But Bobbie Friedman, owner of Simplified by Bobbie, said it doesn’t have to be that way.
Amusement park
“The focus should be on the people you’re with, not the stuff that you bring,” said Friedman, a professional organizer and home-management consultant based in Penn Township. While our inclination is to pack more than we’ll ever need just in case, she recommends a minimalistic approach. “Everything for me is about keeping it simple,” she said. Friedman shared her tips for paring down your packing for popular summer activities.
Picnic in the park
■■Pack everything in a backpack so your hands are free ■■Bring sunscreen, travelsize wipes and a miniature first-aid kit ■■Purchase water bottles on carabiners so they can be attached to backpacks or belt loops ■■Take advantage of rental lockers if your family is going to visit the water park — don’t lug wet clothes around for the day
■■Pack two separate bags: one for food and one for fun ■■In the fun bag, pack a ball, Frisbee or other light-weight activity for the family; a blanket; and a miniature first-aid kit, sunscreen and bug spray ■■Consider making individual lunches ahead of time and packing them in compartmentalized containers to avoid the hassle of preparing lunch in the great outdoors ■■Avoid salads and sandwiches with mayonnaise that won’t fare well in the heat and sun ■■Bring at least one bottle of water for every family member — and pack extra if needed ■■Bring a plastic bag for trash
Day at the beach ■■Wear as much as you can — sunglasses, sarong, hat, water shoes, etc. — to avoid weighing down your bag ■■Use a bag with a lining that can easily be wiped out or one that is completely machine washable with compartments to keep things organized ■■Bring sunscreen, a blanket and lots of water ■■Consider renting an umbrella or chairs to avoid carrying them down to the water ■■Pack easy sandwiches like peanut butter and jelly and freeze grapes for a refreshing snack ■■Put the kids to work and have them carry their own towels and a few sand toys in a mesh bag

Pat’s Corner Q: I live in an old farmhouse and I am not sure my kitchen will take the weight of a ceramic tile floor. What can I do? A: All three major flooring manufacturers now offer “luxury vinyl tiles” in large and small sizes which look exactly like ceramic tile. These tiles are usually installed over a thin plywood underlayment. This will not add any significant weight to your structure. They can be grouted with an acrylic grout or be placed directly together which gives the appearance of a paver stone... a perfect fit for your farmhouse. If you have any flooring questions for Pat, send him an email at: patrick@embeeandson.com Your question may be published in the next issue of “Pat’s Corner.”

Kathy Elliot, landscape designer for Rockelman’s Nursery in York Township, offers tips on how to pick the perfect tree for your yard.
By Susan Jennings for Smart
Picking out a tree for your yard requires a little more research, time and commitment than grabbing a six-pack of pansies for those planters on your porch. After all, this plant will hopefully be around for decades — not just one growing season. But don’t be daunted — we talked to an expert who offered plenty of tips for what to do when you’re ready to branch out.
Who we talked to: Kathy Elliot, landscape designer for Rockelman’s Nursery in York Township.

The two main things to consider when buying a tree are culture and aesthetics, Elliot said. Culture considerations include factors like the type of soil you’d be planting the tree in, access to sunlight and exposure to wind or pollution. “If you live in the city (ask yourself), ‘Is my tree going to survive if I have big trucks rolling by regularly? Will it tolerate snow removal and salt thrown at it?’” Elliot said.
Buyers should assess the location they’d like to plant a tree in and decide whether that tree will thrive there. Consider what kind of leaves and fall color it has, and when and if it flowers. “What are its peak seasons and do they match your schedule?” she said. If you buy a tree that flowers in the summer, such as a sweetbay magnolia or a crape myrtle, but you’re away on vacation when it’s in bloom, then what’s the point of having that tree? Elliot asked. In addition, you’ll want to think about how the tree will look next to your house. “If you have a rancher — your house is very horizontal in its presentation — I wouldn’t go for really tall, skinny, pyramidal trees,” Elliot said. “I’d complement the architecture of the house.” For smaller, one-story homes she recommended trees that are smaller with horizontal branches, like a crab apple. For a larger home, she said a nice, tall tree like a crimson spire oak would be ideal. A couple of other factors to think about before buying are if you want the tree to serve a certain function (provide shade, privacy, etc.) and how high maintenance or messy it is.
Find the right tree Elliot offered suggestions for ideal trees for the following uses.
The tree for: Climbing
■■ Maples — their lower branches tend to be horizontal and are pretty sturdy, but wait until the tree is a bit older and the bark is woody and corky — not soft — so that the tree won’t be damaged.
Branch out
Find the perfect tree for your outdoor space
Shade ■■ Red maples, sugar maples, black gum and tulip trees.
Foliage ■■ Red sunset maple — leaves turn crimson or yellow. ■■ Honey locusts — beautiful golden color. ■■ Serviceberry trees — turn orangish-red. ■■ Autumn blaze. ■■ Sugar maples. ■■ Fruits/nuts. ■■ Serviceberries — easiest fruit trees to start. They’re easy to grow, very tolerant of most conditions and produce berries that taste a little like wild blueberries.
Tree house ■■ Buy a house with a very old, established tree already in the yard. Maples and oaks are best because the wood’s really hard.

When should you shop for your tree? “As far as buying and spending on trees, you might want to spend a year looking at trees,” Elliot said. When you shop depends on what you want the tree for. If you’re looking to add vibrant foliage to your yard, visit the nursery in the fall, before the tree has dropped its leaves. This will allow you to see how healthy the crown is, too. If you’re looking for a flowering tree, it’s better to shop in the spring and summer months.
When should you plant your tree? “The best time of year to plant a tree is when you can get a shovel in the ground and have the money,” Elliot said. By planting in the fall, you can take advantage of the warm soil and give the tree’s roots time to establish before the weather gets cold. Also, if the tree’s leaves have dropped for the year, it can focus more energy on the roots. If you choose to plant in the spring, the tree will benefit from good, soaking spring rains and its leaves will send beneficial sugar stock to the roots. “There are advantages of planting in the fall and advantages in the spring,” Elliot added.
Be aware that there are certain trees that might take longer to get settled in and would benefit from being planted in the spring rather than the fall, Elliot said. If you have questions, ask a landscaper.
How much should you plan to spend on your tree? Prices depend on a number of things including the tree, its size, and if its balled and wrapped in burlap (which tends to be costlier than a potted tree), Elliot said. A ballpark figure for a smaller tree — one that measures a 1- to 1 ¼-inch in caliper (the diameter of the tree’s trunk) and is 5 to 8-feet tall — is anywhere from $50 to $170. Larger trees — those with 3 to 4-inch caliper — can run you $300 to $500. A 16 to 18-foot birch tree can be up to $1,000, she said. If you don’t want to plant the tree yourself, plan on spending $100 on planting fees for a small tree. Those fees increase the larger the tree. “Generally around 80 percent of the tree is going to be planting fee, in addition to cost of tree,” Elliot said.
■■ Plum, serviceberry or birch trees — not totally opaque. ■■ Emerald green arborvitae — for a denser screen, which works well in urban areas. ■■ Steeplechase or green giant arborvitae — if you have a deer problem.
Sun ■■ Flowering cherry or flowering crab apple — do well in a really sunny, dry, windy spot.
Flowering ■■ Chokecherry, Crab apple, Redbuds, Dogwoods, Magnolias and Serviceberry — have lots of very small flowers, “so the whole tree lights up,” Eliot said.
Maintenance: Won’t litter yard ■■ Autumn blaze maple — It has really “good manners,” Elliot said. It has great fall color and you won’t find “helicopters” all over your yard. ■■ Japanese snowbell — Not a native, but they make great patio tress. They do have seed capsules, but they dry up and are small.
Will litter yard ■■ Sweetgums — drop prickly, bare-feetstabbing balls. ■■ Silver maples — their high roots and enormous seed production can cause problems. ■■ Oak trees — drop acorns everywhere.

Buckle in for a tour of what’s new at area parks
By APRIL TROTTER and BILL WARNER for Smart
It’s a symbolic gesture of old meets new this summer at Hersheypark. Skyrush, the park’s newest roller coaster and one of the most-hyped rides in its 105-year history, soars, dips and weaves around the Sweetest Place on Earth’s oldest ride, the 66-year-old Comet. The new coaster’s 3,600 feet of bright-yellow track also crisscrosses the western end of Spring Creek, the oldest section of Hersheypark, several times. 28 | smart

“When we sent the proposals to Intamin they decided they liked this site because of the interaction with the creek and the Comet,” said Kathy Burrows, Hersheypark’s public-relations manager. “They thought it would give us the best bang for our buck, so to speak.” Riders will climb a 200-foot hill right out of the station, hit speeds of 75 mph on the other side, experience zeroG’s on five smaller hills, and encounter sharp, banked turns just inches from the ground. “It’s the tallest, largest, fastest,” Burrows said of Skyrush’s place in Hershey roller-coaster history.

Daily guide to family fun By APRIL TROTTER for Smart
This will be my first full summer in York County.
After spending the last four years in Harrisburg and Carlisle, I learned that summertime in southcentral Pennsylvania means a lot of festivals and outdoor dining. But I’m not sure where the best place to grab a funnel cake or dine alfresco is south of the Cumberland County line. I hope you can help me learn my way around York and Adams counties. If your church, business or club holds summer events that are open to the public, let us know. We’re taking submissions for our 100 Days of Summer searchable online guide at smartmagpa.com. Our 100 Days of Summer pages will be highlighted through September at the top of our Smart website, so check it often for those days when you and the kids need something to do.

Local shows include:
Fireworks will light the sky for the Fourth of July. If you’re lucky, you can see a display from your own backyard. If you plan to travel to a show, be sure to get there early and stake out your spot. If you or your friends prefer setting off fireworks in the backyard, please be careful. Firecrackers, sparklers and rockets accounted for most of the injuries seen in emergency departments between June and July in 2005, according to the most recent report available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sparklers were associated with more than half of the estimated injuries among children younger than 5, the CDC reported. So, please, keep an eye on the kiddos.

Celebrating Smart Magazine
Serenity Spa and Salon
with
By E.C. Pollick
On Thursday, May 17th, we celebrated the Smart Magazine Spring Open House at Serenity Spa and Salon at Heritage Hills Resort. Nearly 125 people attended this free event and enjoyed a fun evening of beauty and pampering. The first 100 people to RSVP for the event received a free goodie bag, complete with various salon products including hair spray, a candle, professional shampoo, and of course, the May/June issue of Smart magazine. For all those who did not receive goody bags, plenty of free products were available to them. In the Links Center at Heritage Hills, several stations were set up for attendees to enjoy. A massage station manned by professional massage therapists gave free chair and hand massages. A nail care station showcased three new OPI colors and the full line of salon products and services for all things nail care. Hair care stations displayed salon products and demonstrated Pure hair extensions and the newest innovation in hair styling: hair stencils using a colored, dry shampoo. Attendees walked around in style with bright colored hair extensions and unique stencil designs. Additionally, skin care specialists featured the salon’s premier skin care products by a woman who pioneered Glycolic acid in skincare, Jan Marini.

Heritage Hills provided hors d’oeuvres, coffee, beverages and wine for guests to enjoy. Attendees also were able to take a tour of the salon and schedule their next appointment. Thankfully, renovations were complete just before the event. After tearing down some internal walls, Serenity Spa and Salon was able to expand the hair salon from 8 stations to 10 stations and add another 2 pedicure chairs to better accommodate large parties. Additionally, the front desk was moved and the waiting room expanded. When guests had a free moment, they traveled up to the Heritage Hills Masters Suite located on the 5th floor. There they found the Smart photo shoot, more raffle prizes, free hair care and beauty samples provided by Serenity Spa and Salon, and a place to mingle while overlooking a grand view of the golf course through the suite’s 2 story window. Serenity Spa and Salon gave away over $1,000 value worth of products, services, and prizes. Attendees had the chance to win gift baskets/bags stocked with professional hair and nail care products and certificates to salon services. One package included an overnight stay at Heritage Hills and a $25 gift card.
“The event went very well and exceeded my expectations,” Serenity Spa and Salon manager and hair stylist Jennifer Ryder said. She said the salon was initially expecting 50-75 people to RSVP and were shocked with the overwhelming response. Jennifer says that the event was so successful that more like it are sure to come. Thank you to Serenity Spa and Salon, Heritage Hills, and all of our guests for a successful Spring Open House!

Kim Korn, of Stewartstown, worked to be civil with her ex during her divorce to spare her now-grown son, Gavin, from witnessing petty arguments. By BETH LEARS MYERS for Smart
When people get married, they don’t intend for that marriage to end. However, divorce is a reality for many American parents and children. The divorce rate in the United States is around 50 percent. And, according to a report by Rutgers University titled “The State of our Unions 2005,” only 63 percent of American children grow up with both biological parents. Children are not equipped to deal with adult issues, but children in families that are divorcing are thrust into an adult world. They might feel pressured to choose between two parents they love. They might be forced to cope with information that they are not capable of processing. They might feel that they have lost the stability that they need to thrive. Parents watching their children experience these emotions will often be overwhelmed with guilt, yet feel helpless to make those feelings go away. It is important to remember that children are suffering through this time, and they need the attention and guidance to help them transition as smoothly as the situation will allow. “When I was going through the process, I knew that I probably wasn’t devoting enough attention to what my daughter was feeling,” said Heather Rohrer of York, a mother who divorced when her daughter was 4. “I felt like she needed more from me, but I just didn’t have enough strength to go around. I felt guilty.” This is a common problem for divorcing parents, said Dr. Jean Pollack of Innovative Counseling in Hanover. “Guilt is a natural response,” Pollack said.
“But feeling guilty doesn’t help at all.” Instead, Pollack encouraged parents to cognitively change their way of thinking. “When you’re feeling guilty about the divorce, think about all the things you have done for your child. Energy levels actually go up when your mind changes from a negative to a positive thought.” Positive thinking is certainly a valuable tool to help parents cope, but it is important to remember to not act so positively toward your child that you give them a sense of false hope. If both parents are certain they will divorce, they need to be honest with the child. “If you’re not honest with the child, it can be damaging to them,” Pollack said. “Children who witness a marriage falling apart are aware of what’s going on,” Pollack said. “If you don’t tell them the truth about the divorce, they won’t trust their own feelings.” Once both parents and children are certain that a divorce is inevitable, the best thing parents can do is work together to make the child a priority. Unfortunately, “parents that handle this really well are the exception, not the rule,” said Dr. Jonathan Gransee, who practices in York and Lancaster. The fact that many divorces end on bad terms leads to parents’ inability to work together. Gransee said that unresolved issues between the parents often result in using the child as retaliation, even if it’s unconsciously. “Parents may not even realize they’re doing it,” Gransee said. Even in the toughest of situations, he said, “be mindful of the effect your behaviors have on the child.” Pollack and Gransee agree that the parents’ behavior is one of the main factors that can help or harm children. “Everything you do, you are teaching your child by example,” Gransee said. The behavior parents should model at this time is that it’s OK for the child to love both parents. It is harmful to make the child feel as if their loyalties are torn, or they are stuck in the middle. In addition to encouraging children to maintain a healthy relationship with both parents, Gransee reminded parents not to use children as messengers. “Both parents should talk directly to one another, not through the child,” Gransee said. Interactions between the parents should be civil. If that is not possible, “do not allow the child to witness stressful interactions,” Gransee said. “This can make them feel anxious, insecure and upset. You need to protect them from harmful interaction.” Stewartstown resident Kim Korn, a divorced mother of a now grown child, agreed that keeping interactions civil provides the most
PROTECT YOUR SKIN OVER THE SUMMER! Heather Rohrer of York said she felt like she should have spent more time with her then-4-year-old daughter, Maura Hain, during her divorce. Experts say guilt is common, but parents should stay positive and focus on all the things they have done for their children.

secure environment for the child. “I am so thankful that my ex and I were able to work things out without resorting to petty arguments,” Korn said. “We were lucky to get along so well, and I think that’s the best thing we could have done for our son.” Pollack agreed. “Role model respect and honesty,” she said. “They’re watching and they will follow what you’re doing.” Pollack also encouraged parents to remember that children are flexible. “If they’re treated with respect, listened to, and you are honest with them, they will be fine,” she said.

Red Lion native celebrates third novel
Author found inspiration everywhere for ‘Invisible Woman.’ By SARAH CHAIN for Smart
Laura Rudacille didn’t plan on becoming an author. When she graduated from Red Lion Area Senior High School, she went on to beauty school. She wasn’t even an avid Rudacille reader. But more than 20 years later, Rudacille has published three novels — and she’s not giving up writing any time soon. “When I was writing (my first novel) ‘Here’s the Thing,’ I thought, ‘I’m a hairdresser, what the heck am I doing?’” Rudacille said. “I certainly don’t hold the credentials people would expect an author to have.” Luckily, the Windsor Township resident has supportive friends — and quite the famous role model. When “Here’s the Thing” was nothing more than journals, a friend typed them up for her. When
Rudacille needed help editing the manuscript, a former high school teacher stepped in. Rudacille also gathered inspiration from a meetand-greet with best-selling romance writer Nora Roberts. “You’re standing in a room with someone whose words you like and you realize they’re just a person,” Rudacille said. Writing “Here’s the Thing” was a fiveyear process, but Rudacille was hooked by the end. Her most recent novel, “Invisible Woman,” was released by Infinity Publishing in November 2011. It follows a trio of women approaching mid-life who take part in an “Awakening Goddess Retreat.” The inspiration came from Rudacille’s own questions as she approached 40. Reconnecting with her best friend from high school led to a trip to Colorado and a day of fly fishing, reminding Rudacille of the simple things she enjoyed. “It’s a real turning point for a lot of people,” she said. “People say, ‘I’m not living unhappy for the rest of my years,’ however long that might be.” The book grew into a celebration of friendship,

Rudacille released her third novel, ‘Invisible Woman.’
Rudacille said. Each of the characters — Jillian, Arie and Sarah — was inspired in part by friends, salon customers and Rudacille herself. “It’s fiction, and yet it’s not,” she said. “I think all of the characters are me, in one way or another.” Rudacille used the book to pass on what she had learned from others about the importance of taking time for oneself. “What really gives you pleasure when you don’t have family and work obligations and bills?” Rudacille said. “These are the things we forget to do.” The trio’s journey helps readers understand that they are entitled to be happy, Rudacille added. “Every woman, regardless of upbringing or job or education, everyone sort of deals with these issues,” Rudacille said. She relied on a variety of expertise from friends, family and salon customers for the quotes that open each chapter. Her favorite responses came from older women. “I love the 70-year-olds,” Rudacille said. “They don’t make an excuse for anything; they don’t apologize. There’s a confidence that comes with selfacceptance.” As for what’s next, Rudacille is working on an untitled romance novel with loose connections to “Saltwater Cowboy.” Her book-in-progress is set on the same island, Chincoteague, Va., as “Cowboy,” but it’s not a direct sequel. And although she sometimes still feels funny calling herself an author, she enjoys feedback from her readers. “It’s my passion,” Rudacille said. “(And) it’s very humbling to have someone say this moved me to tears, or I laughed out loud. It’s been really sort of fun.”

It might seem early to be thinking about going back to school, but now is the perfect time to think about giving back. Hair Cuttery is gearing up for its 13th annual Share a Haircut program. “A haircut goes along with a new backpack, supplies and shoes for back to school,” said Diane Daly, Hair Cuttery’s director of public relations. Daly said the program, which gives children from low-income families a free haircut, is a great way for kids to recognize the importance of philanthropy. “Because they’re getting a haircut, another less-fortunate child can get a free haircut.” To participate in the program, bring your child in for a back-to-school trim anytime between Aug. 1 and Aug. 15. Hair Cuttery will donate one coupon for a free haircut for each paid service it receives during that two-week period. York County Children and Youth Services will then distribute the vouchers to families in need, Daly said. The coupons will be valid through Dec. 31, 2012. For more information or to find a Hair Cuttery near you, visit haircuttery.com.

The Better “Living” Room in our House! • Providing Local Service • Custom Built Units • 50 Year Warranty • Free In-Home Consultation
We love our new all season room. We call it the “mood changing” room. When it’s cold or raining outside, we go into the room and it immediately changes our mood form mediocre to that of joy and happiness. The only regret we have is that we didn’t get this room years ago. Yes, by the way we love the name of your business because it is exactly what you have given us. A Better Living. Thanks to Garrety Glass for making our dream come true. ~ Sue & Rick, York Pa

SMART WOMAN
The By APRIL TROTTER for Smart
Art of dance
Rasmita Amin has danced for Bollywood celebrities and the prime ministers of India and East Africa. After moving to the area in 1985, she volunteered at the Hindu American Religious Institute temple in Fairview Township, where she taught dance for 17 years. In 2006, Amin opened Natyashala Dance School. She has 40 students 6 to 16 years old in York and Lancaster counties. Amin teaches traditional and folk dances in rented spaces throughout the area, as well as private lessons in her home studio. What do you like best about dance? Dance makes me happy and keeps me active physically. I also teach yoga to my dance students — it gives them strength and flexibility. What is the biggest difference between Indian and American dance? The biggest difference is variety. We have four major classical dances and every state in India has its own traditional folk dance with different music, language and costumes.
RASMITA AMIN
Age: 50 Lives in: Springettsbury Township Family: Husband Hasmukh and sons Harshal, 24, and Ronak, 22 Occupation: Director of Natyashala Dance School and office manager for Dr. Deepa G. Bhatt, York Education: Degrees in Bharata Natyam (Indian classical dance) and accounting from M.S. University of Baroda, India. Also studied folk dancing under dancer and choreographer Pratibha Pandit.
Take a lesson For information, on upcoming events or classes, email rasmitahamin@msn.com
How do you balance owning your business with teaching and having a family? It was difficult to balance work and family when I was in retail. But with the dentist’s office hours, the support of my husband and both boys in college, I was able to dedicate more time to doing what I love most: teaching dance.
Smart video Watch Amin perform Alaripu, which is the first traditional Indian dance students learn after mastering all the basic steps, at smartmagpa.com.
Who is your favorite dancer? Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit
What are the highlights of your dance career? Accompanying the late Indira Gandhi, then the prime minister of India, to East Africa as part of a cultural delegation group. Natyashala’s first big public show at York College last fall had close to 500 people in attendance, and two of my students performed their arangetram (completion of Bharat Natyam training). 46 | smart
What’s your favorite part of teaching girls traditional Indian dance? My favorite part is teaching the girls the traditional steps the way I learned from my guru (dance teacher) in Bharat Natyam. I love watching them perform with the beautiful, colorful costumes — that just takes me back home.
