New Fabrics & Classes at The Country Quilterie The Country Quil-terie at Carriage House Square, 2783 Route 115, Effort, PA is pleased to announce the new Summer Schedule of quilting classes at The Quilt-ing Academy, locat-ed at Carriage House Square, across the parking field from the store. Visit our web-site www.countryquil-terie.com and click “Quilting Classes” for the latest postings, which include photos, descriptions, dates, times, and fees. Or, you can stop in or call the Country Quilterie at 570-620-9707 for

complete details. Open Sew classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM at the Quilting Academy for just $10.00. Would you like to learn how to quilt, or do you have a quilting project that you need help fin-ishing? Perhaps you are an experienced quilter who would like to join a group to quilt with. These Open Sew classes are perfect for all skill lev-els and for those who have never quilted before. Stop by and check it out. Visitors are always welcome

at The Quilting Acad-emy, 2785 Route 115, Suite 103, (Carriage House Square), Effort, PA 18330. New shipments of the latest fabrics have been arriving all week. We are stacking our shelves with beauti-ful, first quality, 100% cotton blender fabrics, fabulous, soft flannels and gorgeous 108” wide backing fabric in every color. More than five-hundred bolts of

the newest fabrics are due to arrive in the next few weeks, so be sure to come in and see the latest offerings, all at discount prices! We’ve added more than fifty new designs to our pattern racks, and we’ve been busy making new samples, that are hanging in thestore. We have an or-der of Hoffman Batik Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes on their way, in luscious colors.

Purchasing a home is getting easier. Sellers are definitely motivated. Interest rates are low. And, at Bankers First Mort-gage, their under-writing is more “common sense” than any of the local banks in our area. “Purchasing a home doesn’t have to be a difficult task”, states George Hanzimanolis, president of Bankers First Mortgage. “There are a number of buyers and sellers that would

love to get together. Unfort-unately, they may not know how to structure the purchase agree-ment to make the transaction flow easily.” According to Hanzimanolis, “There are so many little tips when buying or selling your home. The way the agreement is structured can save parties hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. I love working with buyers and helping them in the

Thinking Of Buying A Home???

transaction. It makes everything run so much smoother, and my borrowers can get into a home with little or no money down, no closing costs, and even a credit for escrows.” “Generally, we look at three categories to qualify for a loan. The first category is credit. We can offer financing for credit scores as low as 600. The second category

is down payment. We have programs with no money down, or as little as 3 1/2 % down. The third and final test is income. Our guide-lines allow for co-signers and expanded debt to income ratios. As long as the loan makes sense, we should be able to help our clients”, states Mr. Hanzimanolis. “I encourage anyone interested in

buying or selling a home to contact me before they even speak with their Realtor. I can advise you how to make the best of the home buying, or home selling process. Sellers are thankful when they speak with us in advance. While we do not own a real estate company, we know

all of the Realtors in the area, and area happy to recommend a pro-fessional who will work to sell your home quickly. As for the buyers, we want to make sure you get the best possible scenario when purchasing that home.” Call Bankers First Mortgage today at

570-620-9561 or online at BankersFirst.com and request your free mortgage pre-app-roval package. If you want to sell, feel free to call George Hanzi-manolis and ask for tips on how you can attract more buyers and sell your home quickly.

Health (NU) - Ever notice how many profession-al athletes have been sidelined lately by concussions? Experts have. Since the prob-lem also affects youth sports from soccer to

bicycling, they’re la-beling it “a national epidemic.” “Not only are most athletes susceptible to concussions from collisions, but in pro hockey alone there

are more than 50,000 ‘hits’ annually - and too many are serious injuries to the head,” says Dr. Ted Car-rick, board-certified chiropractic neurol-

ogist who treats ath-letes from around the world and is active in the Foundation for

Chiropractic Progress (www.yes2chiroprac-tic.org).

( N A P S A ) - W h i l e high heat can drain your energy, increase your utility bills and make your AC work overtime, there are simple ways you can save energy without compromising com-fort. Try fighting back against heat in your home with these tips: • Install a program-mable thermostat: There’s no need to keep the AC blasting while you’re away. A programmable ther-mostat can help you time your AC use and cut up to 20 percent from your cooling bill. • Change your light-bulbs: CFL and LED lightbulbs give off significantly less heat than incandescents

and use less energy. If you don’t want to replace all your bulbs at once, prioritize the hottest or most fre-quently used rooms of your home. Lon-ger-lasting LED bulbs are good for hard- to-reach places, such as in garages or high ceil-ings. • Use appliances wisely: Avoid using the oven if you can-fire up the grill instead to keep the heat out-doors. Check if your dishwasher has a non-heated drying setting and if it does, use it. Save clothes drying for nighttime-or, better yet, hang the wash on a clothesline. They’ll smell fresher, too. • Use a fan: It costs just pennies an hour to

Keeping Your Cool In A Heat Wave

operate and can make a room feel four to six degrees cooler-it’s low tech and low cost. While some believe a fan cools the room by drawing in fresh air, it really works by help-ing perspiration evap-orate from your skin, so there’s no need to keep it running when you’re not around. • Check for duct leaks: Your AC’s effi-ciency can be affected if ductwork isn’t prop-erly balanced. Call an HVAC professional to have your system examined, and while they’re at your home, they can perform any necessary tune-ups to the AC itself. • Control sunlight in your house: If it feels drab to shut out sunlight with drapes or blinds, consider installing a heat-re-jecting window film. These films can help keep your home cool-er, reduce energy use and protect your fur-nishings from UV

rays. For example, 3M Sun Control Win-dow Films can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent by reject-ing solar heat. They also help block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays to minimize

fading of furniture and carpet. The films are available in sever-al varieties that do not change the appear-ance of the window, so there’s no obvious tinted look. To find how much

energy you could save with this improve-ment, check out the Cooling Savings Cal-culator at www.3m.com/windowfilmso-lar.

(NAPSA)-Accord-ing to the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA), 50 per-cent of an average U.S. home’s energy bill can be linked directly to cooling and heating costs, which amounts to approximately $1,100 per year, de-pending on location. Installing an ener-gy-efficient cooling and heating system can be one of the most significant up_grades a homeowner can make to save on these utility costs. A new development in home cooling and heating systems offers that chance. This new line of ductless cooling and heating systems is described as the most energy efficient avail-able. The Hyper-Heat-ing INVERTER(tm) (H2i(r)) MSZ-FH Mod-els from Mitsubishi Electric US Cooling & Heating Division (Mit-subishi Electric) have the highest efficiency ratings for cooling and heating systems at 30.5

A More Efficient Approach To Cooling

And HeatingSEER (Seasonal Ener-gy Efficiency Ratio). H2i MSZ-FH Models are the best way to cool and heat a home, using up to 40 percent less energy per room than a traditional cen-tral air system.

No Ductwork One characteristic

of the system is that it operates without ductwork. Cooling and heating systems without ductwork have been com-monplace in homes throughout Europe and Asia for decades. A ductless system of-fers greater energy efficiency than a tradi-tional central cooling and heating system as well as lower operat-ing costs. “More homeowners now realize how much money can be saved by investing in energy-ef-ficient cooling and heating. Because of

this trend, energy effi-ciency is no longer a fringe product benefit. Homeowners expect it from the products we choose for our homes, and we should,” says Mike Smith, Mitsubi-shi Electric.

Additional Benefits Other benefits of installing the system include:

• The ability to con-trol each room inde-pendently: Rooms (or zones) can be cooled or heated to a specif-ic temperature and turned off when un-occupied. “We’ve been trained from child-hood to turn off the lights when we leave a room to save ener-gy; ductless zoning

systems allow us to do this with cooling and heating as well,” says Smith. • Minimal sound disruption: The sys-

tem provides the qui-etest possible opera-tion for both indoor and outdoor environ-ments. Continued on Page 9 Efficient Approach

Contined from Page 8 • A cleaner environ-ment: The system’s triple-action filtration system is designed to reduce allergens, vi-ruses and bacteria cir-culating in the home’s air. • Green certifica-tions and tax cred-its: The H2i MSZ-FH

Models are ENERGY STAR(r) qualified. Plus, the systems may also be eligible for lo-cal, state and federal tax credits or utility rebates in many states. This can help home-owners gain a return on their investment. To learn more, you can visit www.mitsub-ishicomfort.com.

(NAPSA)-Despite increases in their fre-

quency and severity, power outages are still

Five Ways A Power Outage Can Cost You

Money

viewed by many peo-ple as merely incon-venient. Short outag-es-perhaps four hours or less-certainly fall within that category. Beyond that, power outages can start to cost you a lot of mon-ey. Here are five ways an extended power outage can impact your checkbook: • Lost refrigerated and frozen goods. The USDA recommends throwing away refrig-erated foods stored for more than two hours

at over 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Because refrigerators and freezers can’t stay cold without electricity, an extended power out-age can cost you hun-dreds in spoiled and wasted food. • Damage to your home. Without a sump pump to keep the basement dry, air-con-ditioning to prevent moisture and mold, or heat to keep pipes from freezing, you could suffer damage to your home in the

thousands of dollars. • Expenses from staying at a hotel or eating out. If you have no heat or running water, you might have to move the family into a hotel for a night or two. Add restau-rant tabs to that and you’ve lost another couple hundred dol-lars. • Additional costs for short-term goods. If you choose to re-main in your home, you will need to in-vest in batteries for

radios and flashlights, coolers to store food, and ice to keep that food cold. • Loss of income. Depending on the im-pact on your home and family, you might have to spend a few days away from work. If you work from home, you stand to

really lose income during a power out-age. To learn more about backup power sys-tems that can help you avoid additional costs related to power out-ages, visit the Generac website at www.gen-erac.com.

When Is The Best Time To Begin Orthodontics? By the age 7, the first adult molars erupt, establishing the back bite. During this time, an orthondontist can evaluate front to back and side to side tooth relationships. For ex-ample, the presence of erupting incisors can indicate possible over-bite, open bite, crowd-ing or gummy smiles. Timely screening in-creases the chances for an incredible smile. What are the advan-tages of interceptive treatment? Creating room for crowded, erupting teeth, creating facial symmetry through in-fluencing jaw growth, reducing the risk of trauma to protruding front teeth, reserving space for unerupted teeth, reducing the need for extractions, reducing treatment time with braces. Orthodontics is not merely for improv-ing the aesthetics of the smile; orthodontic treatment improves bad bites (malocclu-sions). Malocclusions occur as a result of tooth or jaw misalign-ment. Malocclusions affect the way you smile, chew, clean your teeth or feel about your smile. According to stud-ies by the American Association of Ortho-dontics, untreated mal-occlusions can result in a variety of problems: C r o w d e d t e e t h are more difficult to properly brush and floss, which may con-tribute to tooth decay and/or gum disease, protruding teeth are

more susceptible to accidental chipping, crossbites can result in unfavorable growth

and uneven tooth wear, openbites can result in tongue-thrusting habits and speech im-

pediments. Ultimately, ortho-dontics does more than make a pretty smile, it

creates a healthier you! For more informa-tion regarding Ortho-

dontics, please call Kilareski Orthodontics at (570) 421-0383 or

(570) 839-7751.

Faith Fair/Flea Market Faith Lutheran Church will hold its 18th Annual Faith Fair/ Flea Market on Saturday, August 9, 2014 outdoors, rain or shine, 8AM to 3PM. The Fair/Flea Market will open beginning at 8AM with many area vendors. Coffee, tea and homemade baked goods will be available for sale in the morn-ing. Be sure to come early so you don’t miss out on the delicious baked goods made by the “best bakers” from Faith! At 11AM, you can enjoy a lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, pierogies, chips, soda and water. Lunch will be available until the closure of the fair/flea market at 3PM From 4PM-6:30PM, we will be holding our pig roast dinner. Buy your tickets at the fair! The menu is roast pork, baked potato, green beans, apple sauce, roll and a choice of dessert. Guests may dine in or take out. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children 4-10. The dinner is held in-doors. Our facility is air conditioned and accessible to persons with disabilities. Tick-ets will be available the day of the fair until

sold out. Bring the family for a day of fun and fellowship. Faith Lu-theran Church is lo-

cated at 550 Route 940 Blakeslee PA, one mile east of Blakeslee Cor-ner and six miles west of Pocono Pines next to Matirko Hardware. For more information

about the fair/ flea market or to order pig roast dinner tick-ets, call 570-646- 0309 or look on our web-site: faithlutheran-blakeslee.org. (NAPSA)-To get

the grass greener on your side of the fence, consider these sugges-tions: • Water, water, ev-ery day-at least at first. From when the lawn is first planted until the shoots start to show, keep the top half inch

of the soil moist. • Stay sharp. Make sure the blades on your lawn mower are sharp so as not to injure the blades of grass. • Mow less. Don’t remove more than a third of the top growth in a single cutting.

Great Growing Ideas

• Mow more easily. To help homeowners make the most of their mowing, the world’s largest producer of outdoor power prod-ucts has come up with two new machines. Homeowners deter-mined to mow more securely on hilly ter-rain or damp grass can now experience with a walk mower the kind of traction and han-dling they can get in an

automobile-All-Wheel Drive. Designed for uneven terrain and the toughest mowing con-ditions, the sleek yet rugged HU800AWD features a heavy-duty steel deck and a pow-erful Honda GCV 190 engine. When you have a lot of lawn to mow, there’s the new R 120S Rider. It has a front-mount, 42-inch side discharge deck, which offers ex-cellent visibility and makes trimming and mowing underneath

overhanging objects easier than ever. These mowers are available exclusively at Lowe’s and autho-rized Husqvarna deal-ers.

(NAPSA)-Hitting a pothole can be more than a momentary jolt. While the tires and wheels should be visually inspected as soon as possible, you should know there could be damage to the steering, suspen-sion and alignment systems that you can’t see. To help determine if hitting a pothole has damaged your vehi-cle, watch for these warning signs: • Loss of control, swaying when making routine turns, bottom-ing out on city streets or bouncing exces-sively on rough roads. These indicate that key safety-related sys-

tems-the steering and suspension-may have been damaged. They largely determine your car’s ride and handling. Key compo-nents are shocks and struts, the steering knuckle, ball joints, the steering rack or box, bearings, seals and hub units, and tie rod ends. • Pulling in one direction, instead of maintaining a straight path, and uneven tire wear. Proper wheel alignment is import-ant for safe handling and long-lasting tires. • Low tire pres-sure, bulges or blisters on the sidewalls, or dents in the rim. These problems should be checked out as soon

as possible as tires are the critical connection between your car and the road. As a general rule of thumb, he advises, steering and suspen-sion systems should be checked at least once a year and wheels should be aligned at the same interval. Mo-torists who drive in areas where potholes are common should be prepared to have these systems checked more frequently.
