MIDDAY REPORT: Changing your driving habits?; new homes, but no flood of students; share best prom photos
HAVE you changed your driving habits yet?
- Your turn: Have you cut back on driving?
- Prom to remember? Share photos
Are you considering changes as gas prices continue on their upward climb?
More Centre Countians are taking the bus and making other changes, as Mike Joseph reports today, and it's your turn online to share what you're doing.
There's a poll, a "your turn" and other opportunities to share, and you might pick up some ideas from others as you read the posts.
No doubt, basic fillups are taking more and more out of your wallet. What are you doing?
This tops the midday report on a sunny Tuesday. Thanks for joining us.

YESTERDAY we made a big deal about of snow in the morning, and you wondered: Really, was it that much?
Well today there's a photo from Jo Hays Vista, linked to the weather story here.
Yes, Pine Grove Mountain had four inches of snow on May 12, not quite a record but worth featuring.
It's improved sharply. Enjoy this nice day.
...
DO NEW homes, a couple thousand of them, mean many more students heading to State College Area schools?
Yes, sure.
Well, not so fast.
The school board heard findings of a demographic study last night, and you can read about it in Dena Pauling's story today.
“Perhaps to your surprise, ironically, in terms of direct impacts, it’s not nearly as massive as it would appear,” said Shelby Stewman, Carnegie Mellon University professor. “You can’t look at the scale of housing and expect that to deliver into students.”
Read the details today.

PROM to remember?
Of course it was, and we're asking today if you’d like to share your best photos with our readers.
Bellefonte, Bald Eagle Area, Penns Valley, State College, Philipsburg-Osceola and regional students are welcome to share photos, and we’ll publish some of them in the Centre Daily Times close to commencement time.
All will become part of a gallery on CentreDaily.com.
Send photos, if you’d like, to cdtonline@centredaily.com.
