Good News<br />
Faith Christian School's first Roseto<br />
Remembrance Run 5K <strong>and</strong> 1 mile fun walk<br />
was held on May 2<strong>5th</strong>. It was a special event,<br />
Scott Ewing was supposed to be a part of<br />
the event, but passed away suddenly on May<br />
21st. Those involved with h<strong>and</strong>ling the event<br />
made a tribute to Scott Ewing. <strong>The</strong>y made a<br />
card for Scott with Isaiah 40:28-31 printed on<br />
it <strong>and</strong> pre-race they sang Amazing Grace in<br />
his honor. After some moments of mourning<br />
the "Scott Ewing Timing Team" consisting<br />
of friends <strong>and</strong> family went into action <strong>and</strong><br />
h<strong>and</strong>led the event in a fashion that Scott<br />
would have been extremely proud of. <strong>The</strong><br />
team did this to show love for each other,<br />
the community, <strong>and</strong> most of all love for their<br />
dear friend Scott. <strong>The</strong> event was a success<br />
because<br />
of the<br />
generosity<br />
of Scott<br />
Ewing <strong>and</strong> all<br />
involved.

Why Isn't My House Selling?<br />
In the past I’ve been told that I sometimes<br />
use a sledgehammer to kill a butterfly. I<br />
am afraid that today my brutally honest<br />
response to this question will uphold that<br />
statement but here goes.<br />
One reason could be that it is just to<br />
unusual for most buyers. Another reason<br />
could be that it is situated in an unfortunate<br />
location - to close to the highway or l<strong>and</strong>fill,<br />
under a jet flight pattern, in an area that<br />
has become commercial in nature, or some<br />
other situation that cannot be corrected.<br />
Some houses have been modified in such<br />
a way that they do not meet the needs of<br />
most buyers, for example, a home that has<br />
been modified by changing the garage into<br />
an apartment to accommodate another<br />
family member. <strong>The</strong>n there is the issue with<br />
upkeep. Is your house in reasonable repair?<br />
Is there any chipped paint? Are the windows<br />
operable? I can go in this area but you get<br />
the thought.<br />
You knew this was coming - the most<br />
prevalent reason that a property does not<br />
sell is related to pricing! In book #1 of real<br />
estate you’ll find the statement “Every<br />
property WILL SELL - when it is priced at<br />
an amount that a buyer is willing to pay.”<br />
Overpriced homes will do several things,<br />
none of them good. Most seriously, they<br />
will stay on the market longer <strong>and</strong> cost<br />
you in the end. <strong>The</strong> old rule of thumb<br />
is that if you price a home over the true<br />
market value, when it eventually sells<br />
you will end up with much less than if<br />
you would have realized had you started<br />
with a realistic price. In today’s real estate<br />
market there are a significant amount of<br />
REAL ESTATE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Real Estate Guys: Ron DeCesare, Ron DeCesare Sr.<br />
homes for sale. As a result of the default<br />
issues loan programs have been tightened<br />
<strong>and</strong> credit requirements have increased.<br />
Employment concerns due to the economic<br />
climate are a factor. Fuel prices have<br />
diminished the amount of people who<br />
formerly would have chose to live in our<br />
area <strong>and</strong> commute further to work. I could<br />
go on, but the point is that there simply<br />
are fewer buyers. Sellers, therefore, must<br />
look at the correct listing price for their<br />
homes as they are compared to comparable<br />
homes on the market. <strong>The</strong> simple rule of<br />
supply & dem<strong>and</strong>. A knowledgeable real<br />
estate professional should inform you as<br />
to the realistic potential sale price for your<br />
home. In many cases the realtor simply<br />
is not accurate or, unfortunately, tells you<br />
what you want to hear in order to get your<br />
listings. This is crucial element. I suggest<br />
that you interview several real estate<br />
professionals <strong>and</strong> hire the one that you<br />
believe will best be able to represent your<br />
interests throughout the complex marketing<br />
<strong>and</strong> sale process.<br />
What else can you do?<br />
A few tips for you are as follows:<br />
1. To reiterate the #1 issue - Make sure that<br />
your home is not priced above “For Sale”<br />
homes in the surrounding area. Be brutally<br />
honest with yourself. When similar homes<br />
in similar areas are for sale, it is only logical<br />
that the lower priced home will sell first.<br />
2. Make your property look better that those<br />
you are competing with by sprucing up the<br />
l<strong>and</strong>scape <strong>and</strong> exterior - first impression<br />
counts.<br />
3. Time should be spent cleaning the<br />
interior <strong>and</strong> putting things in their place.<br />
Discard or store clutter. Buyers want to<br />
visualize where they will put their things<br />
more than your extensive collection of stuff.<br />
Finally, “Don’t shoot the piano player”<br />
A real estate professional will expose your<br />
property through proven methods. Always<br />
choose Broker or agent with a proven track<br />
record <strong>and</strong> interpersonal skills to represent<br />
you. You must feel confident that your agent<br />
has the ability to get the job done - then<br />
let him do it! <strong>The</strong>re will be testy times. You<br />
will be tempted to blame the agent for<br />
your home not selling. Remember that the<br />
realtor is motivated to sell your property. He<br />
does not earn a dime unless your property<br />
sells. Keep this article for those testy times.<br />
Honestly review the various items in this<br />
article <strong>and</strong> asses the position of your home<br />
in the market <strong>and</strong> make corrections if<br />
necessary. <strong>The</strong>n feel confident <strong>and</strong> keep<br />
your chin up.<br />
Keep the faith - Every home will sell!<br />

WTH are gmos?!<br />
By Jackie Talero-Rueda, <strong>The</strong> Crunchy Mom<br />
After watching a documentary on YouTube called,<br />
Genetic Roulette <strong>The</strong> Gamble of Our Lives, I<br />
started learning more about GMOs <strong>and</strong> tried<br />
avoiding them at all costs. GMOs are genetically<br />
modified organisms. A GMO is an organism whose<br />
genetic material has been altered using genetic<br />
engineering techniques. What’s the big deal you<br />
ask? Well I’ll give you two very important reasons. <strong>The</strong>y are in<br />
about 85% of the processed foods we consume yet few studies<br />
have been conducted on their safety <strong>and</strong> long term effects from<br />
eating them. <strong>The</strong> few studies that have been done are by the same<br />
company that makes the GMO seeds <strong>and</strong> only for a period of 3<br />
months! <strong>The</strong> second reason is that GMO seeds call for a greater use<br />
of chemical pesticides <strong>and</strong> herbicides because they are engineered<br />
to resist them. GMO crops can be sprayed with higher amounts<br />
of these weed <strong>and</strong> pest killers (A very popular weed killer br<strong>and</strong><br />
comes to mind) <strong>and</strong> nothing happens to the crop. We are eating<br />
this pesticide infested food! Gross. GMOs were introduced to our<br />
food supply in the late 90’s <strong>and</strong> of course, without sufficient testing.<br />
By 2012, 88% of corn (maize) <strong>and</strong> 94% of soy grown in the United<br />
States were genetically modified, according to the US Department<br />
of Agriculture. I could go back <strong>and</strong> forth on the vast amount of<br />
health problems GMOs could potentially be causing but I’m not a<br />
scientist. I’m just a mom doing tons of research for the well being<br />
of my family. Currently, 64 countries around the world require<br />
labeling of GMOs. <strong>The</strong> US isn’t one of them. So what did I do? I<br />
started buying organic because anything certified organic CANNOT<br />
be genetically modified. Some products are also certified Non-GMO<br />
<strong>and</strong> I also buy those. Hopefully the FDA will hear the pleas of many<br />
concerned citizens <strong>and</strong> start requiring the labeling of GMO produce,<br />
products, <strong>and</strong> GMO fed animals. In the meantime you can visit<br />
some of these websites so you can educate yourself on GMO foods<br />
<strong>and</strong> have an “aha moment” like I did.<br />

Tea Tree Oil<br />
Tea Tree Oil, a natural oil used as a repellent is said<br />
to counteract bacteria, fungi <strong>and</strong> viruses as well as<br />
eliminate parasites. It inhibits inflammation,eases pain<br />
<strong>and</strong> protects the skin. This oil has been shown to<br />
penetrate outer layers of the skin <strong>and</strong> attack infections,<br />
helping to heal wounds. This is known to repel<br />
Mosquito's fleas <strong>and</strong> other bugs as well. Be sure to<br />
protect yourself when you go outdoors.<br />

Strawberry season is upon us <strong>and</strong> local farms <strong>and</strong> farmer's markets<br />
will be offering fresh picked or pick your own strawberries. It is also<br />
the season for local strawberry festivals offering fresh strawberry<br />
pie, shortcake <strong>and</strong> other delicious strawberry treats. Here are a few<br />
tips for picking the best berries <strong>and</strong> keeping them fresh.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> deeper red the strawberry the sweeter the berry will be.<br />
• When picking your own strawberries pick the berries with the<br />
caps on (the little green leaves on top of the berry) they will stay<br />
fresh longer.<br />
• To keep strawberries fresh for a longer period line a clean<br />
container with a paper towel, place your cleaned berries in the<br />
container <strong>and</strong> cover with another paper towel <strong>and</strong> the container lid.<br />
Store in the refrigerator they should stay fresh for up to a week.<br />

Exploring <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Belt</strong><br />
Anne Fantini is a local artist residing in Mount<br />
Bethel. She traveled to Arizona, Nevada, <strong>and</strong><br />
California for both vacationing <strong>and</strong> shooting!<br />
Top: "PSALM 23" taken in Death Valley, CA<br />
Bottom: "Alter" from Bell Rock in Sedona, AZ<br />
<strong>The</strong> story behind "Alter" is that travelers who hike<br />
Bell Rock in Sedona find a stone <strong>and</strong> hold it between<br />
their h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> release all of their negative energy<br />
into the stone <strong>and</strong> then place it on an "alter",<br />
sometimes balancing the stones on top of each other.<br />
This was one of the larger alters Anne came across<br />
while hiking Bell Rock <strong>and</strong> she loved that the alters<br />
are undisturbed <strong>and</strong> no one questions their validity.<br />

Tips for Staying Positive<br />
1. Begin each day with a grateful heart. Even when<br />
times are tough we all have something to be grateful<br />
for. Express your gratitude.<br />
2. Smile. Even when you don't feel like smiling it<br />
will make you feel better <strong>and</strong> you just might make<br />
someone's day a bit brighter!<br />
3. Surround yourself with positive people.<br />
4. Exercise has physical, mental <strong>and</strong> emotional<br />
benefits. Take a walk, a fifteen minute stroll can<br />
change your mood.<br />
Happiness rcannot be traveled to, owned, earned,<br />
worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual<br />
experience of living every minute with<br />
love, grace, <strong>and</strong> gratitude.<br />

THE FASTEST/EASIEST WAY TO DRIVE A NICE CAR TODAY!
Four out of 10 drivers don't know this<br />
dashboard warning could save their lives<br />
(BPT) - When it comes to tire pressure safety, many<br />
drivers fall flat in connecting this all-important safety<br />
concern with the dashboard icon that could alert them<br />
to a problem, a new national survey shows. With an<br />
estimated 245 million cars <strong>and</strong> light trucks on U.S.<br />
roadways, driver safety concerns are top-of-mind among<br />
consumers. In fact, 95 percent of drivers consider vehicle<br />
safety features an important issue when shopping for<br />
a car. Unfortunately, when it comes to recognition of<br />
lifesaving vehicle dashboard icons, many drivers are<br />
unaware, uninformed <strong>and</strong> unprepared.<br />

Four out of 10 drivers are unable to identify the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning symbol located<br />
on vehicles' dashboards <strong>and</strong> don't know what the icon is when they see it, according to a new consumer survey<br />
conducted on behalf of Schrader International. However, nearly 90 percent of drivers think properly inflated tires<br />
<strong>and</strong> paying attention to an automatic warning system could save their lives.<br />
This demonstrates a drastic disconnect between what drivers consider crucial to their safety <strong>and</strong> their actual ability<br />
to recognize the tire pressure warning symbol. <strong>The</strong> need for additional education is clear. Fortunately, there are<br />
already more than 104 million vehicles in the U.S. now equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, <strong>and</strong> 91<br />
percent of the entire U.S. vehicle population is expected to be TPMS-equipped by 2023.<br />
So, what does the TPMS alert mean for drivers? <strong>The</strong> TPMS vehicle dashboard icon is a crucial safety warning<br />
symbol that indicates one or more of a vehicle's tires are significantly underinflated by more than 25 percent.<br />
Underinflated tires can impair a car's ability to maneuver <strong>and</strong> brake properly. This means a driver whose TPMS<br />
light appears is three times more likely to be involved in a crash related to tire problems than a vehicle with<br />
proper inflation, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA also reports<br />
underinflated tires are estimated to cause: 200,000 accidents, 660 highway fatalities <strong>and</strong> 33,000 injuries annually,<br />
as well as 3.5 million gallons of gasoline wasted daily.<br />
To help raise awareness about TPMS <strong>and</strong> the importance of proper tire pressure, Schrader, the leading global<br />
manufacturer of sensing <strong>and</strong> valve solutions <strong>and</strong> pioneer of TPMS, along with OEM car manufacturers, aftermarket<br />
retailers, <strong>and</strong> state <strong>and</strong> federal governments, are dedicating resources toward consumer education. Schrader<br />
has provided the online resource TPMSMadeSimple.com for complete insight into TPMS <strong>and</strong> the benefits of<br />
maintaining proper tire pressure.<br />
If the TPMS icon appears, your tires are sending you a very important message: one or more of your tires are<br />
significantly underinflated <strong>and</strong> you or an auto service technician needs to take a closer look as soon as possible.<br />
When this occurs, exercise caution <strong>and</strong> do the following:<br />
* Find a safe place to pull off the road to check your tire pressure. Keep a tire gauge with your set of emergency<br />
items in your vehicle.<br />
* If the light comes on while driving at highway speed, immediately grab hold of the steering wheel with both h<strong>and</strong>s<br />
in case you are experiencing a blow-out (rapid deflation) scenario. Slowly decelerate to a safe speed <strong>and</strong> find a<br />
safe place to pull off the road to check your tire pressure.<br />
* Once checked, if the tires all appear normal, proceed carefully to the nearest gas station or tire service center to<br />
add air to your tire(s).<br />
* If needed, have the problem tire or tires <strong>and</strong> the TPMS system serviced at your nearest tire service center.<br />
<strong>The</strong> TPMS icon should turn off within several minutes after inflating the tires to their recommended pressure.<br />

How to personalize your backyard with a beautiful concrete path<br />
(BPT) - Paths provide the practical purpose<br />
of connecting two or more locations but a wellmade<br />
walkway that will st<strong>and</strong> up for years can<br />
enrich the natural l<strong>and</strong>scape of a backyard <strong>and</strong><br />
complement the exterior look of a home.<br />
While traditionally popular materials for creating paths, like brick<br />
<strong>and</strong> stone, are attractive <strong>and</strong> durable, they can be expensive <strong>and</strong><br />
challenging to install. An easy <strong>and</strong> affordable alternative is to build<br />
a path yourself using a plastic form <strong>and</strong> pre-mixed packaged<br />
concrete. Taking this approach not only minimizes cost, time <strong>and</strong><br />
headache, the preference <strong>and</strong> personal taste of each individual<br />
homeowner dictates the color, style <strong>and</strong> movement in the finished<br />
concrete path.<br />
It starts with selecting the style of path, which can range from a<br />
natural looking country stone pattern to a more st<strong>and</strong>ard running<br />
bond brick pattern. <strong>The</strong> QUIKRETE Walkmaker forms are 2 foot by<br />
2 foot <strong>and</strong> conveniently hold one 80-pound bag of concrete, so<br />
homeowners can work on the path at their own pace by following<br />
these simple directions.<br />
Remember when working with cementitious products, always wear<br />
eye protection <strong>and</strong> gloves.<br />
On Friday, May 30, Miss Rose's Preschool celebrated<br />
their preschool graduation at Grace United<br />
Methodist Church in Pen Argyl, PA.<br />
Congratulations to the Class of <strong>2014</strong>!<br />
Steps for laying a path<br />
* Remove the sod <strong>and</strong> soil to the desired width, shape <strong>and</strong> length of<br />
path, be sure to keep it as flat <strong>and</strong> level as possible.<br />
* Slowly mix the concrete <strong>and</strong> water in a wheelbarrow with a garden<br />
hoe, shovel or in a concrete mixer according to the directions on the<br />
bag.<br />
* Lay the form at the beginning of the path <strong>and</strong> fill with concrete<br />
mix, being sure to smooth the surface with a trowel.<br />
* Promptly remove the form <strong>and</strong> smooth the edges of the path with<br />
a trowel before the concrete mix hardens. For a nonslip finish, brush<br />
the surface with a stiff broom.<br />
* Continue by placing the form against the completed section of the<br />
path. <strong>The</strong>n fill with the concrete mix, remove the form <strong>and</strong> smooth<br />
the surface. Repeat the process until the path is complete.<br />
* To create a curved walkway, after removing the form from the<br />
freshly poured section of path, reposition the form in the direction<br />
of the curve <strong>and</strong> press down to slice off the corner. Use a trowel to<br />
consolidate <strong>and</strong> smooth cut off edges.<br />
<strong>The</strong> path can be further customized by incorporating liquid colors,<br />
stains, <strong>and</strong>/or embedding gravel or other small aggregates into the<br />
concrete.<br />
For more tips, direction <strong>and</strong> information on laying a concrete path using forms<br />
<strong>and</strong> pre-mixed packaged concrete, visit www.quikrete.com<br />

Psalm 91:4<br />

Words of Wisdom<br />
O God you are my keeper.<br />
You are my refuge, even when<br />
everything seems to go wrong<br />
around me, I would know you<br />
are there for me. You are there<br />
to console me. You are there<br />
to comfort me. You are there to<br />
show me the way.<br />
God is always our refuge,<br />
whether we are aware<br />
of it or not.<br />
Set your eyes on Him.<br />
