oad trips are a tradition enjoyed by people of all ages. Cross country trips, adventurous jaunts through Europe and fall excursions to see the autumn leaves are just a few of the more popular road trips travelers enjoy each and every year. Though road trips leave travelers largely in control of their own getaways, there are ways trips can quickly spiral out of control. Careless planning or unforeseen auto troubles can turn a dream road trip into a nightmare. Before setting on a road trip this season, travelers would be wise to consider the following dos and donts of road tripping.

Dos and Donts of road trips R

DO: Get some rest.

when they inevitably appear. In addition, plan for pit stops to stretch your legs or enjoy an early dinner during rush hour. Vacation should not include the daily grind of rush hour.

DO: Prepare the vehicle.

Nothing is more integral to a successful road trip than a vehicle that can withstand the trials and tribulations of the road. No one is happy when a vehicle breaks down during a road trip, but such breakdowns are almost always preventable. Though a flat tire or a car accident cant be predicted, drivers can safeguard themselves against mechanical problems by taking their car to a mechanic a few days before the trip begins. Make sure to do so several days in advance so if the car needs work, the mechanic has ample time to make any repairs. Waiting till the last minute is a bad idea, as theres no guarantee the mechanic can fit the car into his schedule. Also, waiting until the last minute might prove more expensive, as mechanics might be forced to have new parts shipped overnight to ensure the trip can start on time. Such shipping costs will be passed on to the automobile owner.

Its tempting for road trippers to burn the midnight oil, as roads are less crowded late at night and its easy to make up for any lost time that occurred during the day. Drivers must get some rest themselves. Despite being sedentary while behind the wheel of a car, drivers do get tired and its easy to fall asleep at the wheel when its dark out and the highway is essentially empty. No matter how much time needs to be made up, drivers must get adequate rest.

DONT: Leave little time to get home.

creates a few problems. First and foremost, a crowded car is an uncomfortable car. Road trippers spend a significant amount of time in the car, so driver and passenger(s) alike will want to be comfortable. A case of bottled water might save a few dollars, but those savings should not come at the expense of comfort. Another downside to packing too much is the effect it might have on fuel efficiency. Fuel costs are still significant, and a car thats weighed down with unnecessary items will need more fuel to operate. Avoid

double-packing items and keep in mind the vehicle does not need to be a rolling pantry.

strict schedule. Such schedules will make the trip seem hurried, robbing it of its relaxing nature.

DO: Enjoy the road.

Part of the joy of road trips is their laid back nature. Unlike other vacations that require travelers get to the airport by a certain time, road trips allow travelers to move at their own pace. Enjoy the opportunity to vacation without having to wait in long lines at airports or sit through long layovers. Enjoy the road and the scenery it provides. Dont feel as though the trip needs to adhere to a

DONT: Be surprised by delays.

Expect delays when traveling by car. Rush hour traffic and road work will rear their ugly heads sometime during the trip. Build these delays into the trip so theyre less stressful

Eventually, the car is going to have to turn around and come home. Dont leave all that driving to one day. Take a different route home and enjoy new sights and stopovers along the way. If the return trip is made with few stops, chances are travelers will be road weary upon returning home, and all that R&R earned on the trip will have been for naught. n

Yoga is about your body. Being in the class for one hour is your gift to yourself.
Laurie Garrett

Good for the body and soul

By Rochelle A. Shenk Special Features Writer

oga has been practiced for over 5,000 years, so it may not be accurate to call it a trend. However theres been an increasing awareness of yoga as an exercise option in the past decade with people of all age groups. Yoga is different from other forms of exercise it generates motion without causing strain and imbalances in the body, and it stresses quality of movement over quantity of movement. Laurie Garrett, owner of The Yoga Room in Manheim Township, says that she began practicing yoga in 1994. I was 35 and very active for exercise I ran and lifted weights but I developed back problems. I

sought medical treatment, but really felt that I was way too young to have these issues. I started taking yoga classes as a way to help with my back, and at that time there were not a lot of yoga classes in Lancaster, she explains. After experiencing yoga herself, she wanted to become an instructor and graduated from White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA, in 1997. She opened The Yoga Room in 2002. There are different styles, or limbs, of yoga. Hatha yoga is the wide umbrella for these eight limbs. Some forms of Hatha yoga present a challenging aerobic workout, some focus on precision of posture and alignment, while others are gentle and restorative. Yoga is like ice cream there are many different flavors. You

stand at the store and decide what you would like to try, and not every flavor is right for every person, Laurie says. Yoga can be used to improve a range of areas from flexibility to mental concentration. The book Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing by Dr. Timothy McCall, published by Bantam Books, January 2007, lists 40 Ways Yoga Heals. The health benefits include increased flexibility, improved balance, improved posture, improved joint health, stronger bones, and increased control of bodily functions. Yoga also relaxes and improves the function of the nervous system, lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol, strengthens muscles, lowers blood sugar, lowers blood pressure, improves levels of cholesterol and

triglycerides and relieves pain. Laurie teaches Vinyassa style yoga as well as a gentle restorative class. (Vinyassa means to flow from posture to posture linking breath and movement.) Many of her students are Boomers. Yoga either grabs you or it doesnt. Yoga is about your body. Many people dont come to yoga to be flexible theyve gotten to a point in their life where their body doesnt react like it used to and they want to do something about that, she says. Some people are put off by a preconceived concept of yoga. Ive had people tell me that they cant twist their body like a pretzel, so they dont want to try yoga. I suggest that they give the class a try some people may have issues like a knee replacement or other medical issue and they cant do

a certain pose picture perfect, but there are ways to modify and we focus on that. You find that after a while you can do things better you may hold a balance pose longer or stretch deeper, she adds. Like many Boomers, Laurie has aging parents to care for, and she says that yoga can help relieve the stress of every day life. You may have issues, but you can still find a way to ease through life by keeping your mind at ease. By focusing on the postures and breathing during yoga, you can remove yourself from your cares for a little bit, she explains. Many beginning yoga students find mirrors in the studio a concern. She says that the thing to remember about the mirrors is that theyre a tool to help with alignment. n

Basic pizza dough recipe

a kitchen staple
countries like India, pickled ginger and minced mutton are eaten on pizza. In Japan, squid and Mayo Jaga are common. However pizza is enjoyed, its one of the few foods that transcends generations. It can be both gourmet fare and quick finger food depending on the venue. Furthermore, pizza can be made and enjoyed at home.

izza is among the most popular foods for adults and children alike. Since it was first enjoyed hundreds of years ago, billions of slices of pizza have been eaten worldwide. Americans alone eat approximately 350 slices per second. While popular toppings in North America include pepperoni, mushrooms and sausage, in

One of the secrets of good pizza is the dough. While some people shy away from yeast doughs at home, with a little know-how home chefs can begin making pizza just like the professionals. Aspiring pizza pros or just people who love their pizza can try their hands at this recipe for delicious pizza dough, which can be customized with toppings and flavors as desired. n

Easy Pizza Dough

4 cups Bread or all-purpose white flour 1 cups lukewarm milk 2 teaspoons active dry yeast 2 taBlespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt cup additional milk ( Milk replaces water in this recipe to add flavor to the dough. If milk isnt available, substitute with water).

1. Preheat oven to 450 F. 2. Prepare the dough starter. In a large liquid measuring cup, add the 11/4 cups warm milk, 1 teaspoon sugar and the yeast. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes. Allow the starter to foam up, which is called proofing. 3. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center of the flour. Add the salt. Mix to combine well. 4. Mix the starter with the remaining milk, olive oil and the flour in the mixing bowl until combined and a little sticky. 5. Either turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 8 minutes to get a smooth, elastic, rubbery dough ball, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead. 6. Put the kneaded dough in a bowl and drizzle with some olive oil. Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rise around an hour, or until it doubles in size. The rate of rising will depend on the temperature in the house and the potency of the yeast. 7. Sprinkle cornmeal on the bottom of the pizza pan. Deflate the dough and press into the pan. Stretch and flatten as necessary. 8. Top with sauce, cheese and favorite toppings. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottom of the pizza looks slightly browned.

Beaching it ...
T h e O u t e r Ba n k s o f Nor th Carolina

inivans all around Lancaster County sport OBX bumper stickers. The Outer Banks of North Carolina have been a vacation destination for my family too, off and on (mostly on) for many years. Way back when we first started going there, there was no grocery store. We had to cross the bridge over the sound to buy our supplies in Elizabeth City. Over the years, the Outer Banks, though still a vacationers paradise, has become built up and more commercial with a six-lane highway flanked by strip malls to meet travelers every vacation need. Our complaint, however, is more with getting on to the

By Meredith Westgate Special Features Writer

Outer Banks. After the long drive south on Rte. 95, there is the inevitable traffic jam crossing the 3-mile Wright Memorial Bridge over Currituck Sound adding one to three hours to the seven hour drive, depending on traffic, especially if you happen to be going north to Corolla. Its the only way to get there. As domain owner Trevor Dixon (www.downtownshortpump. com) wrote in 2008, The Outer Banks is pretty much my second home. I go there all the time with family and friends. For the most part, I stay in either Corolla or Duck (or somewhere in between), both of which are a good 45 minutes north of the Wright Memorial Bridge, and thats without traffic backups. The Mid-Currituck Bridge would not only alleviate congestion,

but also shave a lot of time off travel for people like myself that stay on that stretch of beach. Think about it. If youre driving from Richmond, you come in south down Highway 158 on the mainland, then go across the Wright Memorial Bridge, and drive north again, and by the time you reach your beach house youre 7 miles from where you were two hours ago. The Mid-Currituck Bridge is expected to open to traffic in 2016. If youd like an alternative until then, the small, barrier island of Wrightsville Beach is further south about an eight hour drive in the same direction, BUT its the only beach on the Cape Fear Coast with an Interstate leading right to its doorstep. In three years of vacations at Wrightsville, we have

never been stopped in traffic. You do the math. The trip is a little further, but its worth the savings in time and frustration. Wrightsville Beach is a friendly seaside community where families have been coming for more than 100 years. Named one of Americas Great Little Beach Towns by Family Fun Magazine in 1995 and, more recently, one of the top 10 surf towns in the U.S. by Surfer Magazine, Wrightsville offers an eclectic mix of families making sand castles with plastic buckets and shovels and bronzed college kids (many from UNC, Wilmington) running jauntily up the beach with surfboards. (Easily) million dollar yachts and sailboats with crisp white sails glimmer in the sunshine as they make their way down the Intracoastal Waterway.

Once accessible only by boat, the island was connected to the mainland at the turn of the 19th century by a trolley system which brought vacationers from Wilmington and beyond. The Lumina Pavilion, built in 1905 was the place to be. Entertainment venues included a bowling alley, shooting gallery, dance hall, and movie screen. This historic landmark was torn down in 1975, however, photographs and artifacts from the Lumina and other historic sites can be seen at the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, located at 303 W. Salisbury Street. With a five-mile stretch of wide sandy beaches with scenic ocean views, shopping, and restaurants ranging from crab shacks to gourmet, Wrightsville continues to be a great vacation

destination. Wedged between the Intracoastal Waterway (the canal that extends from Boston to Key West, Florida and the Atlantic Ocean), Wrightsville boasts spectacular sunrises and sunsets both over water. At the north end of the island, trafc is minimal on the twolane road. This quiet, mostly residential neighborhood (there are also a couple of beach front hotels) is surrounded by marshland on one side; the ocean on the other. The Mason Inlet Waterbird Managements Area at the northern tip of the island off limits. From the end of the road, you can see Figure Eight Island a few miles north. To the south, is the unspoiled wilderness of Masonboro Island, the largest undisturbed barrier island (about 8 and a half miles long) along the southern North Carolina coast.

This island, which has been put in preserve by the state of North Carolina, is inhabited by more than 250 species of birds including cormorants, pelicans, and blue herons; and other species including endangered loggerhead sea turtles. A few blocks north of the bridge is one of Wrightsvilles landmarks, Johnnie Mercers pier, restaurant and arcade. The pier extends 1200 feet over the ocean where novices and serious shermen use everything from drop lines to surf casting rods to catch sea trout, ounder, and crab. Johnnie Mercers Pier is the only concrete shing pier in the state of North Carolina. The water in the Outer Banks can be rough, but Wrightsville Beach has gentler, warmer waves, perfect for the beginner surfer (and swimmers

like me who are deterred by cold water). Even on weekends when the beach is busiest, you can still nd plenty of surf. Midweek in mid-July, the beach was surprisingly empty. Our beach house was at the southern end of the island across from a Public Beach Access. The next set of beach umbrellas and chairs with beachgoers at 11 a.m. was 50 yards to our left; 30 to our right. continued on pg.12

Dr. Gary Scibal

Lititz Doctor Gives Back to His Community

By Wendy Komancheck Special Features Writer

r. Gary Scibal, of Lititz, didnt always want to be a doctor. Instead, he wanted to be a research scientist, but soon learned that he wasnt cut out to be in the lab full-time. After confronting reality in a real lab

during my freshman chemistry course, I realized that was not going to happen, explains Scibal. It was the most uninteresting experience of my life. Medicine was a good alternative. Dr. Scibal was born in 1950 and grew up in Linford, New Jersey, a small town near Ocean City. Growing up in Linwood during the fties and sixties, Scibal

enjoyed playing a lot of baseball and basketball. He also enjoyed listening to the great music of the sixties. In 1976, Scibal and his wife, Cyndy, moved to Lancaster County when Scibal entered his residency training in family practice at Lancaster General Hospital. In 1979, Scibal joined the Lititz Family Medicine practice at 562

Second Ave. in Lititz. Scibal decided to join Lititz Family Medicine (LFM) because he knew two of the practices doctors one was a resident upperclassman and the other a doctor at LFM. He remembers being impressed with LFMs Dr. Art Holder, who has since retired, and who participated in the weekly conference called the Grand

Rounds at Lancaster Gener was impressed with his cur and knowledge and tho that it would be great to wo a practice with him. Actua didnt know much about the of Lititz, itself, when I decid join the practice, Scibal says As a family doctor, Scibal e the personal relationships th has developed with his pat

But Im ptimistic at this point, says . How can you say youre s about cutting costs and not ss a malpractice system which s doctors to order many cessary tests? And I think our cians have not done a good resenting the options for

change to the American people. Finally, from a physicians standpoint, Scibal recommends that his patients take care of themselves by attending to their own medical needs. But realize that eventually your life will end. This should not be a source of great anxiety, but for many, it is. Make sure while youre on earth that you make a difference in the lives of others. I try to encourage my patients to nd something that they can do to serve others. It will bring them great joy, Scibal says. Scibal takes his own advice. In February 2011, he and a missionary team, sponsored by Sturgeon Bay Moravian Church in Wisconsin, visited Kruta, Honduras to work with Harvest the Rain; Scibal attends the Lititz Moravian Church (www. lititzmoravian.org) at 8 Church Square in Lititz. Harvest the Rain works to bring safe drinking water to the Hondurans through collecting rain water. Additionally, Scibal and

a doctor-in-training from the Sturgeon Bay congregation delivered medicine and medical equipment to a small clinic in Kruta. He advises aging Baby Boomers to avoid discussing their various ailments with others.

Most people care less than you might think. Also, Scibal wishes he would see less self-absorption in Boomers which he says everyone struggles with. He quotes Steven Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,

Try rst to understand, then to be understood. Scibal feels he made a wise choice back in his freshman year of college. His compassion and wisdom benet the patients that he cares for at Lititz Family Medicine.

Our multidisciplinary approach provides the best, most comprehensive Neurosurgical and Orthopedic care to each and every patient. Dr. Harry Singh is an excellent addition to our unique blending of disciplines.

Two miles south is the Oceanic Pier (also known as Crystal Pier), a popular shing and surng spot. At the base of the pier is the Oceanic Restaurant, reputed to be the best seafood place in Wrightsville. Having dined there, I can certainly recommend the food and the panoramic ocean views it offers. The town of Wrightsville is a small triangle of shops and restaurants just big enough to supply a bit of entertainment and whatever you forgot to pack. Wings, a chain store known to beachgoers everywhere, has beach chairs and towels, pails, t-shirts, postcards, and souvenirs. Next door is the Trolley Stop, which has for many years, served ten kinds of hot dogs (including the North Carolina, which is smothered in mustard, chili, and coleslaw). Ice cream lovers will have difculty choosing between the Original Ice Cream Shop at Wrightsville Beach (housed in a trolley car) and Kohls Frozen Custard shop between the Trolley Stop and South Beach Grill. There is also a Ritas and several other bars and eateries. Back to the water Besides swimming, sunning, and surng, there are many marinas with boats to rent or charter: shing boats, jet skis, sailboats, kayaks, and windsurfers. Classes are offered by several local surf shops. You can also try clamming and oystering at Masonboro Sound. Locals and tourists alike enjoy a walking/ running path known as The Loop, a 2.45-mile path around the inner island which passes over the Intracoastal Waterway, parks, and scenic marshes. There is also a River to the Sea bike route from Wilmington to Wrightsville. My husband and I enjoyed rides from one end of the island to the other (about 10 miles round trip). Trafc during the week was surprisingly minimal. If you tire of the beach, (or have a sunburn), you can always head for the shops. On the way to Wilmington, there are many boutiques and gift shops. Lumina Station, the shopping village by the beach is just over the bridge,

and there are many other shopping malls with department stores, chain restaurants, and miniature golf courses. Next visit, I hope to take in a visit to nearby Airlie Gardens, 67 acres of formal gardens, wildlife, historic structures, walking rails, view of Bradley Creek, ten acres of freshwater lakes, and its famous landmark, a 462-year old oak tree. The

gardens are known for a collection of over 100,000 azaleas and camellia cultivars which bloom throughout the winter and early spring. Its about a ten minute car ride to historic downtown Wilmington where

there are historic and fun things to do, including horse carriage rides, the Wilmington Railroad Museum, and tours of the Battleship North Carolina, commissioned to ght in the Pacic in WWII.

Best Seafood:
The Oceanic at 703 South Lumina Avenue the food is great, and the ocean view is spectacular. Ask for a table with an ocean view. Also excellent is the Blue Water Grill, 4 Marina Street, where you can eat inside or on deck. Either way, watch the boats pass by and admire the moored yachts on the Intracoastal Waterway. Time it right for the sunset.

Best Fishing:
Johnnie Mercers Pier is recommended by many, but costs $8 per rod. (Somebody caught a 100 lb. Tarpon on July 11). And yes, there is a fee just to walk on it! We had fun shing at the inlet on the southern end of the island. My husband snagged a 4-foot shark (this is not a sh tale) there a few years ago, but no luck this time.

52nd Annual Harvest Days

LANDIS VALLEY HOSTS

number of live demonstrations, but its more of a celebration of harvest traditions. Harvest Days really hasnt changed in the last 50 or so years. Its a family event, and there really is something for everyone, explains Cindy Kirby-Reedy, events coordinator at Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum. Over 40 acres of the museums site is used for the event. Returning this year after a several year hiatus is an antique tractor display. Older gentlemen really enjoy that area; some of them remember farming with some of those vintage tractors, she says. Cindy Kirby-Reedy says that demonstrations focus on traditional Pennsylvania German crafts that would be done at this time of the year, and one of the most popular demonstrations is apple butter making. Bushels of apples are peeled early Saturday morning and are boiled in large kettles that are stirred throughout the day. It is a daylong process and takes quite a large number of volunteers, but it is really interesting to watch, she says. Jars of apple butter are also available for purchase. There are three bake ovens at Landis Valley, and demonstrators will be using all three. A costumed demonstrator in the tavern will prepare traditional foods such as stuffed pig stomach, pickled eggs and pickled beets. The bake oven at the circa 1830s brick

andis Valley Village & Farm Museum, Lancaster, celebrates Pennsylvania German life and the fall harvest with its 52nd annual Harvest Days at Landis Valley from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 8 and Sunday, October 9. Some people have a misconception that Harvest Days is a craft show; there are a large

farmhouse will be used to bake bread, as will the bake oven at the log farm. The log farms bake oven has a smoke house attached to it, and it will be operating during Harvest Days. Natural dye making will also be featured at the log farm. You can learn about the plants are used to make dyes, how dye is made, and the process of dying textiles, Kirby-Reedy comments. Additionally theres a demonstration on the process

of making linen from the flax plant. Harvest Days also features a sheep-to-shawl demonstration. There are a lot of different steps to the process. Its something thats a big draw, she says. There are some hands-on activities including a Childrens Discovery Tent with a number of activities designed specifically for children including make-and-take crafts. Children also will enjoy the straw maze and the pumpkin patch where they can select a pumpkin and decorate it. Children also enjoy the rope making area. They can select different colors to make their own rope. Youll see them walking around the site with colorful lengths of rope, KirbyReedy says. Homemade apple cider and heirloom apples are featured in an apple tasting area. There are a number of heirloom apple varieties, and they have really fun names. People are welcome to taste all the varieties as well as the apple cider, she says. Apple cider and some of the apples are also available to purchase. Corn meal thats produced during the corn milling demonstration is also available for purchase. The hit or miss engines located in front of the hotel are a popular spot for a lot of people. Many of these engines operate a piece of machinery one of them is a miniature hay baler, she explains.

The wonderful thing about Landis Valley is that when you park and enter the village, you take a step back in time. The buildings and costumed demonstrators help create that feeling.
~ Kirby Reedy
A horse drawn wagon ride not only is relaxing, but it can provide an overview of the site and activities that are scattered throughout the site. Harvest Days also features live music. The wonderful thing about Landis Valley is that when you park and enter the village, you take a step back in time. The buildings and costumed demonstrators help create that feeling, Kirby Reedy says. She adds that some of the demonstrators and volunteers have been participating since the first Harvest Days event, and there are also a number of volunteers and demonstrators that participated in the event for 20 or 30 years. n
Admission to the Harvest Days is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, $8 for children ages 5 to 11, and children ages 4 and under are admitted free of charge. For further information visit www.landisvalleymuseum.org
