Lawn Growing And Mowing Made Easier(NAPSI)When your
yard is saying I want tobe a lawn, six tips canhelp the grass grow
greener on your side ofthe fence:1. Water rarely but
thoroughly. Most lawnsneed a good soaking to adepth of six to eightinches.2. Water early, before
10am, so that the grassgets to dry before thesun gets too hot.
3. Mow weekly: Regu-lar mowing makes yourlawn healthier andeasier to cut.
4. Keep the mowerblade sharp for a cleancut and to reduce lawndisease.5. When you mow, cut
only a third of the heightof the lawn to encour-age strong roots.Cutting too shortstresses the lawn, creat-ing an environment
ideal for weed growthand disease.6. Get a good mower.
To help, leading engine
manufacturers areincorporating uniquenew features into their
products that deliverprofessional results andmake cutting the lawn amuch easier and moreenjoyable experience.When selecting a
walk-behind mower, itswise to look at the
engine. Select a repu-table engine brand andconsider these ques-tions:
Is it easy to start?With some enginestoday, priming andchoking are a thing ofthe past. Smart-Choketechnology automati-cally manages the start-up process so theres norisk of flooding theengine. Is it easy to fill?
Filling the fuel tank onmany mowers can be achallenge. Engines withAccu-Fill, however,incorporate a uniqueangled neck as well asan opening that is 45
percent larger thanthose in most mowers. Will it perform?
Look for an engine withConsistent-Cut technol-ogy. This system deliv-ers more power to themower in extreme loadconditions.For additional
resources, visitKohlerEngines.com orcall 800-544-2444.
Recycle Your Rain To Go
Green And Save Green!(NAPSI)-Home-
owners today are look-ing for ways to protectthe environment and bemore eco-conscious.Better utilizing one ofour most preciousresources, water, is atthe top of the list. Fortu-nately, there are newand easy ways to saveon water usage by recy-cling rain.A growing number of
homeowners are realiz-ing that it doesnt makesense to pay for water tocare for your gardenwhen you can simplycollect water in a rain
barrel. Consider this:One inch of rain over
1,000 square feet of areayields 623 gallons. Oneinch per hour of rainfallyields about 10 gallons
per minute per 1,000square feet. So it doesnttake long to fill a fewrain barrels with water.But once youve
captured all that rain,how do you get it out soyou can use it? With aneco-friendly pumpsystem, you can easilyrun a hose or sprinklerfrom your rain barreland power the water out.Systems like the Rain-
Perfect pump fromRule help in twoways-by harvesting rainand using the power ofthe sun. Since solarenergy powers therechargeable NiMH
battery, theres no needfor an electrical outlet.The pump and solar
panel install easily andprovide enough pressurethrough an ordinarygarden hose to run mostlow pressure sprinklers,for keeping the gardengreen, washing a car orwatering just aboutanything around thehouse. Since waterusage can increaseduring warm weather byas much as 30 percentfrom lawn, flower andvegetable garden water-ing, its a perfect way togo green and save greenat the same time!The RainPerfect pump

By Sarah LorenExperience is something
that makes everyone feelbetter about making impor-tant life decisions. WithState Farm Agent LucyFlinn, customers will findover 30 years experiencewith the company, andthats just the beginning.Lucy and her employees
have over 90 years experi-ence with State Farmcombined.Lucy Flinn, located at 106
South Broadway, provideseverything that State Farm
has to offer. Surprising tomany, they arent limited toinsurance.
Insurance is just thebeginning, Lucy said.
Insurances provided byState Farm include vehicle,residential, life, annuities,health, small business, andmutual funds. However,State Farm also offers
banking products.We do everything youcan think of, Lucy said.Over the years, wevedeveloped into a one-stop-shop for insurance and
financial services.Because Lucy has been
with State Farm for solong, she knows the ins andouts of every product, newand old. Not only will thiscome in handy whencustomers are shoppingaround, but Lucys manyareas of expertise will doso, as well.Although Lucy hadnt
planned on a career as aninsurance agent, her desireto help people whilemaking a living fit the bill.With training in sociologyand psychology, Lucysfirst experience withhelping people was in herrole as director of awomens crisis center.Because the pay wasntgreat, Lucy also worked as
a waitress at three differentestablishments, leaving herwith four jobs.While completing a
research project for workon careers for women inthe upcoming 1980s, Lucyfound which jobs wouldgive women the opportu-nity to advance and earnmore money. As it turnedout, banking and insurancewere the furthest behind inhiring women.I thought, [Insurance is]
perfect for me. I couldmake money and helppeople, Lucy said.
After filling out numerousjob applications for variousinsurance agencies to noavail, Lucy thought she hita dead end. But whileworking an unplanned shift
at the Holiday Inn, fatetook its course.
As it turned out, Lucyended up waiting on a tableof men who worked forState Farm. One of themhappened to be John Hill, aclaims adjuster in Atlanta,Georgia. After telling Johnabout her struggles, Johnagreed to see what hecould do to get her a job.And he did just that.
Just a few months later,Lucy began her career withState Farm in Virginia.Since then, she has movedto many locations, experi-encing various positionsand aspects of State Farmas a whole. Now located in Wind
Gap, Lucy is exactly whereshe wants to be.
I wanted to be an agentin a small town, Lucysaid. I love Small Town,America.These communities have
been phenomenally recep-tive.Although Lucy goes
above and beyond to giveher customers and commu-nity the best, she still hasher concerns.Insurance is a commod-
ity that many people purchase based on price,Lucy said. A lot of peopledont know what they have,and a claim is not the timeto find out.Settle your confusion and
call Lucy Flinn to set up anappointment at 610-863-5190, or visit lucyflinn.com for more information.
