How to Prepare Your Home for Any Emergency

VALLEY AUCTIONS

(StatePoint) While no one wants to dwell on worst-case scenarios, the last year has in many ways illustrated that there are no certainties in life. Preparing your home to handle a wide range of emergency scenarios will offer you peace of mind now and keep your family safe in the future.

To get prepped, start with the essentials.

With sufficient fuel, water, food and other necessities, you can ride out potential emergency scenarios. Here’s how to collect and store these items safely and securely:

VALLEY HEALTH

THE FAMOUS

“Unique Retail With 375 Shops” OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK: 10AM-5PM FRIDAYS: UNTIL 8PM • SUNDAY: OPEN AT 8AM 100 North Water Street • Lewisburg, PA 17837 570.524.5765 • www.streetofshops.net

Water The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends storing at least one gallon of water per person per day for 14 days so that in the event of an emergency that affects water supply, you’ll have enough for both drinking and sanitation.

When it comes to long-term storage though, standard plastic bottles are not ideal as they degrade over time, compromising water quality and safety. Instead, consider taking a cue from the military. Standard issue to U.S. and Canadian Armed Forces, Scepter Military Water Cans hold 5 gallons and are made from rugged, high-density polyethylene. BPA-free, they keep chemicals, odors and tastes out of your water; corrosion- and fungus-resistant,

water also stays clean and safe. And because they are virtually indestructible and can withstand extreme weather conditions, they can pull double-duty and come with you on camping trips, sports expeditions and other adventures. Millions of these containers have been used around the world by U.S. Armed Forces and are now available to consumers, making them a must-have for any emergency supply kit.

Fuel Homeowners should have a fresh supply of gasoline, diesel and kerosene so they can operate generators, chainsaws and other tools often needed during and after emergencies.

Fuel containers should be stored in secure, dry locations away from heat sources, pets and easy access to children. You should also be sure to select containers that exceed ASTM and CPSC minimum standards, such as the 23 colors, R-values 6 to 18, Windows — CALL FOR PRICES 8x7, 9x7, 8x6/6 or 9x6/6 White, Brn, Alm, SS, Raised Panel Steel......................$229.00 8x7, 9x7, 8x6/6 or 9x6/6 White, Brn, Alm, SS, Raised Panel Steel 2” Insulated..$299.00 8x8, 9x8, 8x7/6 or 9x7/6 White, Brn, Alm, SS, Raised Panel Steel 2” Insulated. $379.00 10x7 or 10x6/6 White, Brn, Alm, SS, Raised Panel Steel 2” Insulated.................$379.00 10x8 or 10x7/6 White, Brn, Alm, SS, Raised Panel Steel 2” Insulated.................$439.00 16x7 or 16x6/6 White, Brn, Alm, SS, Raised Panel Steel 2” Insulated.................$609.00 10x10 Commercial Steel Woodgrain Finish White, Brn.........................................$539.00 12x12 Commercial Steel Woodgrain Finish White, Brn.........................................$689.00 Manufacturers prices subject to change.

Food The CDC recommends storing at least a threeday supply of food for emergency scenarios.

Be sure these are items with a very long shelf life that don’t require refrigeration or cooking. They should also meet the dietary needs of all household members.

Periodically check your supply to ensure expiration dates have not passed Add resilience and charm with and refresh items as needed. To avoid spoilage and odors, 25 STYLISH COLORS store food in airtight Strong Resistance to Scratching & Fading containers away from GALVALUME OR GALVANIZED 28 Gauge for Better Durability petroleum products and heat.

Testimonials: (Looking for some new comments of success) Fall 1991 and January 1992 Testimonials: My cousin and his new wife (both in their early 40’s) were visiting my mom, my sister, and I. My sister asks, “So, how did you meet?” They kind of giggled and asked each other, “Should we tell them?” They said they met through the LYBL column.

My sister and I decided we would try our fare at meeting “Mr. Right”. (BTW, my cousin and his wife are still married and hopelessly in love.) My sister didn’t have much luck, but in January 1992, I saw this ad that kept drawing my attention. As described, he really wasn’t what I was looking for, but...

We met later that month for the first time; got engaged in 1993 and married in 1994.

We will celebrate our 25th anniversary this October and we have a 23-year-old daughter who lives out of state. Thank you, LYBL! Mr. & Mrs. J.N. 4/4/17 Testimonial: I placed an ad 1/2/94 and met the love of my life.

He has 3 boys and I have 3 girls. We were married 8/26/95 and now we’re the Brady Bunch. Thanks for helping us find each other.

Birds Attacking Your Windows? Here’s How to Stop It banging into your window. When repeated, these actions deplete a bird’s energy and put its health and the health of its nesting young at risk. Though this can occur at any time of year, it happens most often in spring, with males.

A Solution

(StatePoint) If you’ve ever noticed a bird attack your windows, you may wonder why this strange behavior is occurring. Beyond the potential disruption it might cause your family, repeated attacks can be harmful to birds. Understanding the problem however, can help you put a stop to it, and better protect the birds nesting on your property.

You can help stop this problem from occurring. One good solution designed to do so is Stop Bird Attack, a removable, white coating that may be sprayed on any window. It eliminates the bird’s window reflection, calms the bird and stops the attack. Effective for Northern Cardinals, American Robins, California Towhees and other territorial birds, Stop Bird Attack is made by WindowAlert, a brand that also makes bird window decals and UV Liquid products that help prevent bird strikes (another common hazard to birds). More information can be found by visiting windowalert. com.

The Problem

Take it a Step Further

Many birds will stake out a territory, perhaps by your home, and vigorously defend it. If a territorial bird discovers its reflection in your window, it may perceive this reflection to be another bird competing for its territory and mate, compelling the bird to attack. This attack of its own reflection can take the form of pecking or scratching at your window, as well as flying up and

While you are at it, consider other dangers to birds that you can eliminate on your property. For example, by swapping out conventional pesticides

with essential oils, you can ward off pests in your garden without putting birds at risk. You might also try keeping pet cats indoors or in an enclosure to prevent them from attacking birds.

“While your home’s windows can be an unexpected hazard to birds, it’s important to be aware of the easy solutions that can help keep them safe this spring nesting season and beyond,” says Spencer Schock, founder of WindowAlert.

In a recent episode of the Exmark Original Series, “Done-in-A-Weekend-Extreme,” landscape designer and show host, Doug Scott, spoke to organic gardener Joe Lamp’l of “Growing a Greener World” about the ins and outs of raised garden beds.

Here are some of the top insights and tips Lamp’l shared.

• Why use raised garden beds? A raised garden bed can help facilitate the ideal growing environment, as most people don’t have that perfect soil naturally in their yard. Their accessibility makes them easier to work in and maintain. Plus, they’re a nice architectural design element in any landscape.

• What materials work best? Treated lumber is the most readily available and economical material and will likely last the longest, however, being an organic gardener Lamp’l prefers untreated Raised garden beds create visual interest and an ideal growing environment. hardwood, as it identify potential red flags, including: lasts almost as long and doesn’t contain chemicals.

Spring Maintenance Checklist for Homeowners

• According to Energy Star, 20-30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system of a typical home is lost due to leaks, holes and poorly connected ducts. Consider professional duct sealing for improved energy efficiency and lower bills.

• Check to see whether your furnaces and air conditioners bear the ENERGY STAR logo. If not, consider a new unit. A properly-sized and installed ENERGY STAR air conditioner uses up to 20 percent less electricity than older models, and doing so may make you eligible for a Federal Tax Credit.

• Have a technician give your home’s cooling system a pre-season tune-up so that everything is running efficiently by the time warmer weather

Think Spring! Come In Now!

Use Household Items

(StatePoint) Time for your annual spring clean? Make sure you’re equipped with the right tools and strategies. Here are a few cleaning hacks to help ensure a smooth and easy process.

De-Clutter First Reducing clutter in your home means fewer objects to launder, dust and wipe down, and should be the first step of your spring clean. Start with dressers and closets. As the seasons change, you’ll likely be reorganizing them anyway in order to stow winter items away while making spring and summer garments readily accessible.

Specializing in Vegetable Seeds & Growing Supplies

A true deep clean is not just about what meets the eye, it’s also about what meets the nose. Unfortunately, certain nooks and crannies of the home have a sneaky habit of odor buildup. Squash problem areas with a versatile, essential item you probably already have on hand -- baking soda. Place an opened box in your fridge to absorb unwanted odors, swapping it out every month or so. Do the same in pantries where food items like onions and garlic are stored in order to neutralize their strong smells. You might also try using ARM & HAMMER Garbage Disposal Cleaner, which are capsules containing baking soda. Leaving behind a citrus scent, they are a useful tool in combatting kitchen sink odors.

Spring Onions Seed Potatoes Over 25 years of empowering landowners, improving wildlife populations, increasing hunting success and leaving the land better than we found it!

A few essentials and some smart cleaning strategies is all you need to give your home some TLC this spring.

As you do your seasonal swap, have bags and labels onhand to sort items by what you are keeping, what you plan to donate, and what needs to be recycled or discarded. Use the same organizational method to pare down knickknacks, books and other odds and ends as you tackle pantries, shelving and more. Take this opportunity to wipe down shelving, particularly surface areas with food, dust and other residue build-up.
