Yard of the Month: Coopers mix gardening tricks with know-how to make yard thrive
Underneath the tall pin oak trees, the crisp white blooms of azaleas and daffodils welcome guests to the home of Don and Cynda Cooper at 806 Crescent Drive in Lancaster.
The contrast of these blossoms against the bright green blades of winter rye grass is just a small example of how this yard earned the designation as April Yard of the Month by the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs.
The Coopers will receive a $25 gift certificate compliments of Ace Hardware and Garden Center of Lancaster for turning their yard into a showplace.

Routine vehicle maintenance can cut gas expenses
Next to buying a home, an automobile is the second largest investment for most consumers.
April is National Car Care Month, the time of year to focus on taking care of that investment.
It’s especially important in light of record high gasoline prices.
According to AAA Carolinas, the average price per gallon of unleaded regular gasoline in the Lancaster area was about $3.20 on Monday. The AAA survey, updated daily, tracks prices at roughly 80,000 service stations across the country, including five in Lancaster.

Spring rabies clinics begin Thursday
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control usually partners up with local veterinarians this month to provide rabies shots for pets at reduced cost clinics throughout the state.
But that won’t happen in Lancaster County this year. The clinics here won’t be sponsored by DHEC or the local health department.
Dr. Forrest Faulkner of Faulkner Animal Hospital is going it alone to provide rabies shots at 11 clinics between Thursday and May 6.
The issue, said Bill Sims of DHEC in Lancaster, is the $3 cost set by the State General Assembly.
