Battery Basics For Your Home And Car (NAPSA)-It’s a good idea to check and, if need be, change the batteries around your house every six months or so, to make sure 10 essential convenience and safety items are operating properly: 1. Auto battery. Harsh, cold weather affects auto batteries more than any other engine component. Engines require more cranking amps and batteries are less efficient, reducing their charge acceptance and ability to start an engine. 2. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Every home needs working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Batteries should be changed twice a year. 3. Flashlights. Prepare for storm power outages by making sure you have several working flashlights with fresh batteries. 4. Radio. If the power goes out, it can be helpful to have a working battery-powered radio to monitor weather conditions. 5. Clocks. When turning the clocks forward or backward for daylight saving time, it’s a good idea to install new batteries, too. 6. Cordless tools. Overuse can drain the battery down to the point it stops working, which can damage the battery. Periodically charge it overnight for optimum run time and life. 7. Audio and video remotes. Stock up on AA and AAA batteries for TV remotes and video game controllers. 8. Laptop and cell phone. Review your laptop and cell phone battery capacity and INSURED E RE F PE T IMA T ES EX ES RIE PA036105 NC ED SIN CE T&R HOME IMPROVEMENTS 197 9 Finished Basements/Attics • Plumbing • Decks Kitchens • Sheds • Ceramic Tiles • Laminate and Hard Wood Flooring • Electric • Drywall Additions • Interior Painting • Windows/Doors Siding & Trim 570-688-9028 fax: 570-629-7851 10% SENIOR DISCOUNT William Buskirk Home Repair Specializing in Exterior Repair Home Improvement • Odd Jobs Residential Small Business Free Estimates Insured Since 1973 PA024261 • NJ 13VH06837500 570.992.6401 • 610.390.9696 “Absolutely Reliable When You Need Us” Sales - Service - Installations - Repairs Need a Heating or A/C System?

The exterior of your house commands most first impressions, and even mild winters inflict seasonal damage. Consider the following lawn and garden maintenance tips from home and garden experts at HGTV and MarthaStewart. com: • Start gently, remove piles of dead leaves from the lawn. Not only will your grass grow greener, a clean lawn helps maximize fertilizers and pesticides. Don’t fertilize your grass too early though. April is the general benchmark; any sooner might result in yellow spots. • Check gutters for leaks and debris. Loose gutters cause improper drainage. Downspouts should point away from the foundation of the house and must be clear of all debris. • Start a roof fund. It’s a good rule of thumb to check your roof for rotted, buck- relief like Absorbine Jr. (www.absorbinejr.com) on hand. Its herbal ingredients and uncanny ability to ease muscle and back led, loose or missing shingles after winter because summer sun will only worsen the damage. Since roof maintenance is so expensive, it’s also smart to start a fund before you need it. • Remove piles of wood or debris stacked near the home. It should be kept far away from the foundation and stacked 18 inches off the ground. These preventative measures help keep insect pests from exploring your home. • Don’t strain yourself, and stay hydrated. This might be the first time you’ve done any heavy lifting or spent hours in the sun for months. Remember to drink plenty of fluids, take breaks and stretch your muscles. If you suffer from backaches and muscle strains, keep some FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, September 5, 2014 Page 21 pain make it a musthave for yard work. • Call a professional to clean your AC unit.
