RAMINATOR CAR CRUSH ON SUNDAY, JUNE 15TH<br />

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 />

Anne Fantini is a local artist residing in Mount<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 />

REFUGE<br />

Psalm 91:4<br />

hhh<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 />
