Announcements

Lycoming College Summer Stock marches into town with The Music Man July 26-28. Lycoming College, in collaboration with the Community Arts Center, will bring this golden age musical to life starting July 26 through July 28. The Lycoming College Summer Stocks mission is to offer an opportunity for middle and high school age students to work and perform under guidance from professional theatermakers so that they can bring new passion and skills back to their community and educational programs. Each year, the summer stock program presents a student-centric show with professional production values to a large enthusiastic audience

in the beautiful Community Arts Center. Lycoming College Summer Stock returns to the Community Arts Center stage this July 26 through 28 with The Music Man. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson’s sixtime Tony Award-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a familyfriendly story to be shared with every generation. The Music Man follows fasttalking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize-this, despite the fact that he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by the curtain’s fall. Tickets cost $10-$20 plus fees and will go on sale Monday, March 4, at 10 am and can be purchased at CACLive. com/TheMusicMan or through the Box Office at 570-326-2424. Auditions, open positions, and more information about the cast and crew will be released on the CAC social media channels and website and the Lycoming College Theatre website, Lycoming.edu/theatre/ summer-stock.aspx.

Take On Spring Road Trips

5 tips to keep vehicles running smoothly

(Family Features) With the windows down and nothing but open road visible through the windshield, spring days often bring out the best driving conditions. When it’s time to hit the pavement, make sure your ride is in tip-top shape following a winter of snow, salt and sand.

be a good time to have a professional take

VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH

Give a Thorough Clean

All that winter buildup can lead to grime both inside and outside your vehicle. A deep clean including the undercarriage, engine bay and obvious areas like doors and windows can help eliminate salt buildup. Give the interior a scrub as well to get rid of trash, dirt, debris and unnecessary items that may be weighing down your car and hurting its fuel efficiency. Plus, that clean look and smell can make road trips that much more enjoyable.

Check (or Change) the Tires

Changing air temperatures can lead to fluctuations in tire pressure. As the weather warms, be sure to check tire pressure frequently to avoid overinflation that leads to wear. It’s also an opportunity to check tread depth as it may be time for new tires altogether.

Change the Oil

While most experts recommend oil changes every 5,000 miles or so, depending on the age of your vehicle, a spring auto checklist isn’t complete without checking (and possibly changing) the oil. Fresh oil keeps engines running as intended, and by changing oil in the spring, you can help ensure you’re ready to hit the road for most - or all - of spring and summer.

Test the Wiper Blades

In many parts of the country, spring means rain. Ensuring wiper blades are ready to take on weather ranging from sprinkles to downpours is practical for maximizing safety on the road. Cold weather and ice can cause cracking on worn out wipers, which makes spring a perfect time to assess winter’s damage.

Consider a Professional Inspection

If it’s been a while since your vehicle was properly inspected, now may

a look under the hood. Wiper blades and tire pressure are easy for many car owners to handle, but alignment, suspension, brakes and other key elements of vehicle safety and efficiency are often best left to those with trained eyes. Letting a certified mechanic assess your ride is a perfect way to ensure you’re ready for the open road.

Expert Landscaping Tips for Choosing and Installing Plants VALLEY HO E IMPROVEMENT VALLEY AUCTIONS

(StatePoint) The perfect landscape may start with a healthy, lush lawn, but for interest and depth, you’ll also need to consider the plants that surround it.

Thankfully, it’s easy to make considerable improvements to your backyard life using tips from professionals. Landscape designer Doug Scott has partnered with lawn care equipment manufacturer Exmark, to offer these tips for selecting and installing plants that will beautify your outdoor living areas.

Choosing Plants

• Choose plants wellsuited for your specific growing conditions. Knowing your growing zone is important, however you should also be mindful how conditions like sun exposure can change as you move around your yard.

VALLEY HEALTH

• Choose the right size plants for the space. Bear in mind that what you’re planting today is much smaller than what it will be once it’s matured. Always read a plant’s care label to understand its optimal growing conditions and size at maturity.

HAL THOMAS LAND SURVEYING

• From a design perspective, think in terms of texture, layers and drifts. When addressing the overall texture of your planting beds, choose plants that vary in form, size, color and leaf structure. This will create greater interest, and a space that’s more visually appealing and enjoyable to spend time in.

For a lush look, think in terms of layers when considering composition. Much like in a painting, you should have background, middle ground, and foreground layers. Your background layer should consist of taller evergreen shrubs to provide something alive and green to look at all year long, no matter what’s happening in front of them. Your middle ground layer should be lower than the background layer to create interest, and is where you can add a contrasting evergreen shrub or pop of color with a perennial plant. Finally, your foreground layer should help transition the planting beds to your lawn space. You can accomplish this with smaller perennials, evergreens, annuals or creeping ground covers.

When addressing drifts, read the plant labels to know how large they’ll grow. This can help ensure plants grow in together as they mature, but are not overcrowded.

VALLEY DINING

Installing Them

1. Dig a hole that’s about two times the diameter of the pot your plant’s being transplanted form, and about the depth of the pot.

2. Mend in compost or soil conditioner to give your plant the organic material it needs to thrive. If you’d like, add slowrelease fertilizer, and mix well.

3. Place your plant in the hole, making sure that it sits at, or just above, the level it did in the pot.

4. Backfill with soil, stopping to add water when the hole is about halfway full.

6. Soak your plant with more water.

7. Finish by adding mulch, making sure it’s pulled away from the base of your plant.

Scott offers more insights in “How to Choose Plants for Landscaping,” a recent episode of “Done-ina-Weekend Projects,” an original series from Exmark. To watch the video, visit Backyard

5. Fill the rest of the hole with soil, then firmly press down.

“Now that you have the inspiration and know-how needed to choose and install plant material, you can create landscaping that reflects who you are and how you’d like to live outside,” says Scott.

4 Summer Tips to Make Your Bathroom Routine More Planet-Friendly

VALLEY AUCTIONS

(StatePoint) Warm weather is here and if you’re spending more time in nature, you may be wondering how to align your own routines to be more planet friendly. One easy place to make improvements is in the bathroom. Here are four simple tips to do just that:

1. Take shorter showers. Simply shortening your shower time can help reduce the amount of energy your home uses to heat water. You might also consider turning the water temperature down a bit. Cooler showers are not only better for the planet, they can be better for your skin and hair -- and a lot more refreshing in the warmer months!

2. Turn off the water when brushing. Turning the water off when you brush your teeth can make a huge difference over time.

Think of it this way -- if you heed your hygienist’s advice and brush for 2 minutes twice a day, you could be running the faucet needlessly for 1,460 minutes a year!

VALLEY HEALTH

3. Recycle recyclables. Some research suggests the bathroom may be the least sustainable room in the house -with only 25% of people claiming they actively recycle products used there, compared to 50% in the kitchen. Whenever possible, try to select products that come in recyclable packaging and be sure to take the extra step of disposing bathroom products in the proper receptacle.

4. Check labels. Checking the label can help ensure the ingredients and processes used to make your products align with your values. Some people carefully scan ingredient lists and many look for third-party certifications. The cruelty-free mark from PETA certifies no animal testing was performed with the product. Ingredient quality certifications

are also important, but less common. Herbal Essences, for example, partners with leading plant scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to certify the quality and authenticity of the botanicals used in its shampoo and conditioners. Full of ingredients your hair loves like Aloe and Camellia seed oil, and free of things like parabens, dyes and phthalates, you can get healthy, beautiful hair and have confidence in the ingredient quality. Herbal Essences has also recently introduced a new bottle design with less plastic. To learn more, visit herbalessences.com.

Over time, small changes can have a huge impact. This summer, consider a few simple bathroomroutine changes that can help make a positive difference.

Promote Happiness With This Mother’s Day Gift Guide

(StatePoint) Sometimes, it’s the little things in life that can make one’s day. Use this Mother’s Day gift guide to promote happiness in your mom’s life:

Better Mornings

Coffee and tea have been scientifically proven to boost happiness. But if your mom is like many moms out there, she may get so busy taking care of others she forgets to drink her beverage before it gets cold. What if she could enjoy her coffee or tea from the first sip to the last at just the right temperature? Nextmug, a temperature-controlled, self-heating mug, stylishly maintains an individual’s beverage at their ideal temperature -- 130, 140 or 150 degrees Fahrenheit -- for hours. The stainless-steel body of the mug has an elegant ceramic matte finish in a range of gorgeous colors like burgundy, dusty rose and pistachio. At 17 ounces, the ergonomically designed body and handle will fit comfortably in her hands, making it a happiness-inducing sidekick for her days, whether they take place at home or in the workplace. And with no setting up an app, no passwords or rebooting and no security concerns it’s incredibly easy to use. To learn more, visit nextmug.com.

Endorphin Boost

Did you know that exercise is one of the best ways to promote happiness? Not only can it be a major confidence booster, it releases endorphins that offer a postworkout bliss. However, many people new to exercise don’t know how to start working out or have questions about doing so safely. If your mom is one of those people, consider gifting her a session with a personal trainer. In one session, the trainer can assess your mom’s current level of fitness and offer her a sensible routine to do on her own. Or, if your mom is social or loves variety, consider getting her a fitness membership to a service like ClassPass. This will allow her to take various types of fitness classes so she can see what style of workout she likes best.

Happy Faces on Rotation

Sometimes all one needs to smile is a reminder of a happy memory. Upgrade your mom’s photo display game with a digital frame so she can be treated to a slideshow of loved ones anytime she wants. With a model that connects to WiFi, she can easily send photos to the

frame through email or via online photo collections. As a thoughtful gesture, consider pre-loading it with some of her favorite family photos.

This Mother’s Day, honor your mom with thoughtful and fun gifts that will promote her happiness.
