ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Lewisburg Children’s Museum is proud to be participating in this year’s First Community Foundation Partnership’s annual online giving campaign. Raise the Region. “Play is a powerful part of childhood,” says Kahla DeSmit, LCM Executive Dir. “Free play enhances a child’s brain development, improves cognitive and fine motor skills, and promotes emotional intelligence and understanding; our participation in Raise the Region,supports the power of play”. In addition to its free play exhibits, the Museum offers weekly programming and various classes and workshops for preschool through elementary age children. “Like everyone else, inflation has hit the Museum hard,” adds Mary Beth Harris, LCM Board Pres. “We have immediate expenses that continue to increase each year, and the community’s support

through Raise the Region allows us to continue earmark programs like our Count Me In fund.”

The Museum’s Count Me In initiative provides free or reduced admission and program fees to support underserved families in our community. Many families enjoy museum visitation through the Museums for All program, which is a national program that provides reduced admission to families that present their EBT/ Supplemental Nurtrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cards. In addition to EBT/SNAP families, the Museum offers discounted admission for active and retired military families, senior citizens, local school groups, and more. The Museum also provides local libraries with family day passes that patrons can check out, visit the museum for free, and return to the library. Since its opening in 2017, the Museum has engaged over 120,000 children and their families through both on and off site events and programs. Historically, 10% of museums yearly general admissions accessed the Museum through one of its Count Me in programs. In 2022, it was closer to 30%. “We will continue providing a space for children to joyfully play and learn,” adds DeSmit. “Our Count Me in fund is truly a community effort, and our participation in Raise the Region ensures that cost is not a prohibitive factor as families look for opportunities to inspire learning, imagination, and play. ”This 30 hour online giving event

begins Wed., March 8, 6 PM through Thurs, March 9, 11:59 PM. Contributions can be made at https://www. raisetheregion.org/organizations/lewisburg-childrens-museum (https://www.raisetheregion.org/organizations/lewisburg-children-s-museum.

We Change Lives - YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN!

What a year! Because of your generosity, we were able to say yes! Yes, to provide art, history, culture, and STEM programs to over 27,000 people this year. Yes, to 23 new partners across ten counties in our region. Yes, to the schools, libraries, and community centers from Williamsport to Selinsgrove, Benton to

Shamokin, and everywhere in between!

Donors like you made it possible for us to expand the number of programs and events we produce by 20% this year. Maybe you’ve seen us at your local library, attended one of our events, seen all we are doing on our Facebook page, or read about it in the paper. Where you keep up with the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum please know everything we do is because you make it happen! We think you’ll agree; we’ve been making the most out of every dollar trusted to us. I have to say; I feel a bit guilty because I get to see, first hand, the impact of your donations. I had a dad tell me that he’s amazed at what his son learns and retains in our science classes. I read a message from a mom who said she’d seen tremendous growth in her son with autism since being enrolled in our summer camps. Visitors from outside our area tell us countless times, “I wish we had something like this where we live.” We’ve partnered with local schools to identify education gaps and developed STEM, music, and fine arts programs to provide solutions for our community’s students. Looking to 2023, your donations could be used to expand our offsite instructor program to include new destinations, help to bring our new Solar Energy exhibit to life, add interactive components in our PreK play area, fund Intro to Arduino Classes at your local school district, underwrite fine arts classes, support our free admission flagship events; The Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire, Geology Rocks, and BloomCON Hak4Kidz and so much more. Thank you for your support. I can’t wait to se the difference we can make next year!

7 Garden Growing Basics for Beginners

(Family Features) Growing your own produce is an all-around smart practice, from the money you’ll save at the grocery store to the contributions you can make toward a cleaner planet.

Maintaining a garden takes some effort, but it’s a project even a beginner can tackle with ease.

Consider these tips to start growing your athome garden:

1. Select a perfect spot. You’ll want to place your garden in an area where you see it often so you’re reminded to weed and care for it regularly. Find a flat area you can access easily, where erosion and other pitfalls (including hungry wildlife) won’t be a problem.

2. Choose between ground and containers. There are pros and cons to gardening in containers vs. the ground, and there’s no universal

right choice. Rather, the best garden depends on your goals and preferences. A ground garden usually offers more space and may provide a better growth environment for roots. However, a container garden is often easier to maintain and may be all you need if you wish to grow just a few plants.

3. Understand the importance of quality soil. You may think any dirt will do, but keep in mind the soil you plant in will be the primary source of nutrients for your produce. Not only that, but quality soil provides stability so plants can root firmly and grow healthy and sturdy to support their bounty. Quality soil also allows for ample drainage. Organic matter like compost, leaf mold or aged manure all help improve soil quality.

4. Keep water close. Lugging water can quickly eliminate the pleasure of tending your garden, so be sure you’re situated near a hose. You’ll

know it’s time to water when the soil is dry about an inch below the surface.

5. Plan for plenty of sun. A bright, sunny spot is a must, since most vegetables, herbs and fruits depend on six or more hours of sun every day. Remember the sun’s path changes throughout the year, and as trees and foliage grow, they may produce more shade with each growing season.

6. Consider what you’ll grow. Starting with veggies you know you like is a smart starting point since you’ll be pouring sweat equity into making them grow. Over time, you might add new varieties, but early on, keep your focus on foods you know you like so you can see a meaningful return and avoid waste. You’ll also need to consider what you can grow to maturity within your area’s growing

season. If necessary, you might want to start transplants you can nurture indoors before moving them outside when the temperatures allow.

7. Plant according to a calendar. Knowing how long it takes different foods to mature will help you create a planting calendar. You don’t want to harvest everything at once, and if you stagger planting and replant what you can, you’ll have a garden that produces food for your family for a longer period of time.

* If your countertop is cluttered with small spice containers and oil bottles, elevate them with a decorative cake stand. Place small jars below and top with pretty decanters and additional spices.

* If you’re using prime cabinet space for items you only use once a year, such as holiday cake pans or a big serving bowl you pull out for parties, consider storing them in the attic or a closet instead.

Bathroom

* Instead of hanging just one towel bar on the back of the bathroom door, hang multiple to maximize your drying space.

* Most modern cabinetry has adjustable shelving. If you haven’t customized the heights of your shelving to accommodate different sized bottles and containers, give it a try.

* A three-tiered fruit basket might seem perfect for the kitchen, but it’s also a handy way to store bathroom essentials right beside the sink.

* Flour and sugar canisters can also be repurposed in the bathroom to keep makeup, toiletries, cleaning supplies and soaps contained. Make sure to buy bins that stack easily.

Bedroom

VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH

* Nix those nightstands and hang small shelves on either side of the bed. This cuts down on the clutter you can keep and makes cleaning underneath a breeze.

* Rolling bins that fit under the bed are perfect for storing linens, out-of-season clothing and children’s toys. They’re also the perfect way to slide building block projects out of sight without destroying your child’s latest masterpiece.

* Closets with a single hanging rod are one of the biggest space-wasters in the bedroom. Double their storage capacity by hanging a second rod or shelf below shorter jackets and shirts.

Upgrade Your Home, Downgrade Energy Usage

7 efficient home improvement projects

VALLEY HO E IMPROVEMENT VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH

(Family Features) The best home upgrades not only make spaces more livable and energy-efficient but are also cost-effective. Making energy-efficient improvements is a savvy way to save money on utility bills, curb energy usage and add to the house’s value.

Consider a variety of home improvement projects, both big and small, that can

reduce the financial burden of maintaining your home throughout the year and improve energy efficiency. Add

A costeffective way to save on heating and cooling

bills is adding a layer of insulation in the attic where heat loss is typically greatest due to hot air rising. While many newer homes are adequately insulated, those that are several decades old (or older) may benefit from an upgrade in not only the attic but other common problem areas where air can escape such as basements,

crawl spaces, fireplaces and ductwork.

Seal Doors and Windows

Windows and doors are common culprits for energy loss. While a complete replacement of doors and windows can be pricey, adding exterior caulk and weather stripping to fill in gaps where air can escape around these openings can make a noticeable difference for a fraction of the cost and make it cheaper to heat and cool your home.

Install Skylights

Skylights are a cost-effective option for transforming any room in the home with natural light while also delivering energy-saving benefits. For example, Sun Tunnel Skylights from Velux can be installed in as little as 90 minutes and funnel natural light from the roof through the attic and into the room below with an aesthetic that resembles recessed lighting. Customizable with six diffuser film styles to complement interior design,

the skylights can make a home more energy-efficient by reducing reliance on artificial lighting. An optional daylight controller makes it easy for homeowners to adjust natural light entering a room, and a solar nightlight provides a moon-like guiding light at night. Installed with the solar nightlight, the skylights qualify for a 26% federal tax credit on solar property.

Add Reflective Window Film

When the sun shines through windows, it can heat up the home’s interior quickly and trigger the air conditioner to turn on. Window coverings, such as blackout curtains, can help, but adding low-e reflective window film to your windowpanes, particularly southernfacing ones, can provide an additional shield from the sun’s hot rays and reduce energy costs.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat is an efficient way to control the climate inside your home, and those with smart technology take programming to a whole new level. Today’s smart thermostats not only let homeowners control temperatures from their smart devices while onthe-go but can also learn daily habits and adjust the temperature accordingly with no other manual adjustments

necessary. In addition, some utility companies offer incentives like money back at the end of the year for installing a smart thermostat because the energy savings are so substantial.

Replace Appliances

Because appliances like refrigerators and ovens, among others, are major energy users, investing in more efficient models provides both cost and energy savings. Additionally, homes more than 15 years old could benefit from updates to the air conditioner or heater as systems 15-20 years old or older may be candidates for replacement as they’re inefficient by today’s standards.

Add Ceiling Fans

In comparison to running your air conditioner consistently, the cost of running a ceiling fan (or several) is significantly less.

Particularly on days that may not require cooling the entire house

completely, fans can provide a gentle breeze and circulate air in the spaces you use most often. Simply adjust the switch to the counterclockwise position to ensure it’s pushing air downward during warmer months.
