During her senior year at Gettysburg College, she travelled home to attend the founding board meeting of the Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley. In 2007 at the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Society, she was honored as the only living founding member. She maintained her membership throughout her life, contributing a number of items to the Society’s collection. After moving to Clemson, Ada Lou made yearly trips back to the Ephrata area for long visits. Ada Lou moved from
ters, recognizing their lasting contributions to the founding of our nation. The celebration will begin with a commemorative church service, followed by the dedication of a bronze America 250! Patriots Marker and a wreath-laying ceremony in the churchyard to honor these Revolutionary War families. Enhancing the day’s obser-
vance will be the participation of the Lancaster County Pennsylvania Society Sons of the Revolution Color Guard and the Brandywine Colonials Fife and Drum Corps, whose ceremonial presentations will add to the patriotic significance of the occasion. Refreshment will follow the dedication ceremony.

She spent the last 2 months of her life enjoying time with her two children and grandchildren. A perpetual lover of games and cards, especially bridge and hearts, she slyly shot the moon two weeks before her death, feigning ignorance of the rules – and ignorance of what game was being played. She loved sitting with her family watching sports, especially cheering on her beloved Clemson Tigers. She had a special affection for the family dogs Ellie and Mercury. You could often find her working on a crossword puzzle while enjoying a cup of her favorite drink – COFFEE! Ada Louise was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Bill, her brother, Glenn S. Kreider and his wife Judith Kreider, and her sister, Joanne S. Parrott. She is survived by her son, Mark William Steirer and his wife Richelle (Hatch) Steirer and their children, William Oliver, Katherine Eva and Preston Otto Hoffmann. And by her daughter, Kristen (Steir-

In a large bowl, combine the soup, milk and seasoned salt. Add the chicken, the bag of vegetables, ½ cup of the cheese, and ½ cup of the fried onions. Turn the mixture into an 8” by 12” baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, unwrap the crescent rolls; separate them into two rectangles, pressing together the perforated cuts. Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 3 strips. Remove the casserole from the oven and remove foil. Place the crescent roll strips across the top of the casserole to form a latticework. Return the casserole to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven again and top the lattice with the remaining cheese and fried onions. Bake until the cheese melts and the onions are brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

2026 Borough of Denver
Leaf Collection Program Leaf collection services will be provided for Borough residents on Mondays and Thursdays for a ten (10) week period during the months of October, November, and December. The Public Works Department will collect leaves starting on the northern end of the Borough on Monday and Thursday of each week. During the peak leaf season, the Department will start collecting leaves on the northern end of the Borough on Monday and finish the Borough by Tuesday. The Borough will again start collecting leaves on the northern end of the Borough on Thursday and finish the Borough by Friday. Please note, the leaf collection schedule may be modified due to inclement weather. Listed below is the proposed 2026 Leaf Collection Schedule: October 5th and October 8th October 12th and October 15th October 19th and October 22nd October 26th and October 29th November 2nd and November 5th November 9th and November 12th November 16th and November 19th November 23rd November 30th and December 3rd December 7th and December 10th Guide to the 2026 Leaf Collection Program * All pickups start on Mondays and will continue through Friday. Leaves also can be taken to the Borough Lot Composting Facility during regularly scheduled hours. * Residents are asked to rake their leaves to the curb. It is important that leaves are free of sticks, rocks, stumps, etc. to prevent damage to the leaf vacuum equipment. * Avoid placing leaves within 15 feet of a vehicle. Also, do not park on leaves as this may start a fire. * Avoid placing leaves within 10 feet of a storm water catch basin. Keep inlet grates clear of leaves. Please note, the Borough requests that residents remain aware of the impacts that leaves can have on the Borough’s stormwater management system, waterways, and the Chesapeake Bay. Please refrain from piling leaves in the gutter prior to a scheduled rain event.

THIS WEEK’S
Biblical Message
Rejoice in Every Good Thing By Pastor Kevin Sadler “And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm… And He hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land… And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which Thou, O LORD, hast given me… And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee” (Deut. 26:8-11). Deuteronomy 26 instructs Israel how, after they entered the Promised Land and conquered it, they were to bring the first fruits from their first harvest that they
Lord spoke unto us. All came to pass.” We should start thanking Him now for this by faith! Out of thanksgiving, Israel was to bring the first and the best of their harvest in a basket to the priest at the tabernacle and then profess audibly, acknowledging God’s faithfulness to Israel in preserving them and bringing them to the land as He had promised (Deut. 26:1-4). They were to rehearse how God had heard their cries and prayers for help in Egypt and that He delivered them out of their hard bondage and affliction “with a mighty hand” (Deut. 26:5-8). God brought Israel out of Egypt by His faithfulness to them and then He would bring Israel in to the Promised Land by His faithfulness to them, giving them a wonderful land which would meet their every need (Deut. 26:9). Israel was to acknowledge God’s goodness, mercy and working on her behalf. They were to remem-
reaped from the land and to present it to the Lord in worship and thanksgiving (Deut. 26:1-2). Now this was told to Israel before they entered the land, but these instructions were given in full expectation that they would conquer and possess the land as God said they would (Deut. 6:1; 7:12). God is faithful, and when He makes a promise, it’s as good as done. Joshua wrote years later: “And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which He sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein… There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass” (Josh. 21:43-45). Having trusted Christ as our Savior, God says we’re heaven bound. One day when we stand in God’s heaven, dwelling in the presence of God, blessed and exalted in Christ, we’ll also say, “Not one thing failed of any good thing the
ber how God provided for them, and to worship Him because of “the firstfruits of the land, which Thou, O Lord, hast given me,” and rejoicing “in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee” (Deut. 26:10-11). We have a deliverance to remember and thank God for, a deliverance from sin by the sacrifice of our Savior. Christ delivered us from the bondage of our sins with strength, “with an outstretched arm” on the Cross, and “with a mighty hand” that was pierced for our sins. God redeemed us and brought us out of the bondage of our sins, and He is faithful and He will bring us in to our hope of heaven one day. Like Israel of old, we should recognize how God has provided for us and has worked in our lives. We should praise Him together because of His goodness to us, thanking Him and rejoicing in “every good thing” which the Lord has given unto us.

Proceeds from this annual event allow the Cloister to compete with private collectors and other institutions on the open market for original items made at the Cloister. Over the years, sales of apple dumplings have been used to purchase one-of-akind furniture, rare music manuscripts, and the original 1739 deed to the historic site—more than 100 items since the creation of the fund more than 40 years ago. Last year the Back to the Cloister Fund purchased a Jacob Gorgas tall case clock that was made circa 17901795 in the Gorgas shop in Ephrata. The clock is displayed in the Visitor Center at the Cloister. The apple dumplings, made by Achenbach’s in Leola, will be available for purchase at the drivethrough tent beside the Museum Store at the Historic Ephrata Cloister. There is no guarantee supplies will last until the end of the day on Saturday, so plan to make your purchases early. Free delivery is offered for orders of 20 or more within 10 miles of the Ephrata Cloister. Delivery orders must be

Helpful Tips You Can Follow If Your Home Is Damaged In A Storm Natural disasters and severe storms can leave a trail of devastation in their wake. When such events occur, people are left to pick up the pieces, and that may involve assessing damage to their homes. The aftermath of a storm is a difficult time for individuals whose homes were damaged or lost. Knowing what to do in the aftermath of a storm that damaged or destroyed their homes can start victims on the road to recovery that much sooner. • Check to confirm everyone is alright. The first step anyone can take after their home is damaged is to confirm everyone is safe. That includes residents of the home as well as neighbors. Check to ensure elderly residents and neighbors or those with mobility issues made it through the storm DCE_MoldAdRev_hrPR_121623.pdf

safely. A 2011 study published in the journal Medical Anthropology found that the greatest mortality during
and immediately after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was among the elderly. The study noted individuals over age 60 accounted for 75 percent of the bodies found immediately after the storm.
• Assess and document the damage. Once everyone is safe, assess the damage from a reasonable distance. It’s necessary to keep your distance because the property may still be vulnerable

to further damage, including collapse. If it’s safe to do so, you can then begin to document the damage, utilizing a smartphone to take photos and videos of the property. If it’s safe to enter the property, take as many photos and videos of the interior of the home as possible, making sure to upload them to cloud storage soon thereafter. Photos and videos taken immediately after a storm can facilitate the claims process with your insurance provider. • Contact your insurance provider. If conditions allowed for safe assessment and documentation of the damage, contact your insurance provider to report it and begin the claims process. Chances are many others will be contacting the same provider, so it’s best to begin the claims process as soon as possible. It also helps to recognize patience will be necessary. Many insurance providers now allow policy holders to file claims through apps on their mobile phones, and doing so can be invaluable if tablets, laptops and other devices were damaged or destroyed during the storm.
• Ask your provider what you can do. Insurance policies may only cover damage that occurred during the storm. Post-storm damage, such as water issues that arise because windows or doors were damaged during the storm, may not be covered. That’s why it’s a good idea for homeowners and others to call their insurance providers and ask what to do to prevent further, potentially uncovered damage. • Recognize criminals pose a new threat. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) encourages survivors to be cognizant of fraudulent schemes that often arise in the aftermath of a storm. Examples of scams include housing inspectors claiming to represent FEMA, fake offers of local or federal aid and fraudulent building contractors. Always ask for identification and do not work with anyone asking for cash in return for assistance. Knowing what to do in the aftermath of a devastating storm can help survivors get on the road to recovery more quickly.

When It’s Time To Replace Your Windows Did You
Windows are a major component of a home. Window installation professionals will tell homeowners that the average life span of residential windows is between 15 and 30 years. Most well-maintained products can last 20 years, so homeowners who have windows approaching that age may want to schedule a window assessment and possible replacement. Replacing windows is a job that requires advanced skill, and this is not a do-ityourself project. There are many qualified professional window installation companies that will work with homeowners to measure, order and install windows that will fit with the style of a home and local weather, all while providing features the homeowner desires. • Difficulty opening and closing windows. A window that does not operate as it should can aggravate homeowners. If windows are sticking shut or cannot be securely closed, it’s probably time for something new. • There’s apparent window damage. Accidents

happen, and if a rock is kicked up from a lawnmower and cracks a window or if spring baseball practice has gone awry with an errant throw, windows may require replacement. • Drafts in the window are common. If heating and cooling systems are working overtime, drafty, poorly insulated windows could be to blame. Various agencies can perform energy efficiency tests in a home. Windows that are determined to be the weak spots should be replaced.
• Dated windows are present in the home. Older windows may pose safety hazards, especially those in older homes. A larger window may be needed to comply with fire safety codes allowing for window egress. Dated windows also may simply look “old” and compromise the aesthetics of a home. • Outdoor noises are noticed quite readily. Newer windows can help reduce noise transmission. So those leaf blowers, airplanes, barking dogs, and kids play-
ing basketball up the street won’t disturb homeowners as they try to enjoy some peace and quiet indoors. • Fading indoors is noted. Windows that do not feature low-emissivity (Low-E) glass coatings will not block UV rays. Those rays can cause fading to wood floors and furniture or pretty much anything the sunlight touches. Replacing existing windows with Low-E coating alternatives can safeguard belongings and improve window efficiency. Window replacement may be necessary when existing windows are showing signs of aging or damage.
Know?
The waterfall edge style of countertops has evolved from a high-end niche trend into an increasingly popular staple of modern architectural design. Unlike traditional countertops that end at the edge of the cabinet, a waterfall edge makes a 90-degree turn and continues down to the floor, covering a kitchen peninsula or island. According to Angi, waterfall edge countertops are known for their seamless and continuous appearances that really are showstopping to see. They tend to make a bigger visual im-
pact compared to traditional horizontal slabs. It’s important to note that not every stone fabricator is willing or able to execute the waterfall effect. Installation requires a precise mitered edge, which risks chipping the fine-cut corner. The added expense also is nothing to take lightly. Waterfall edges also can make cleaning more involved. There is no lip at the end of counters, so it’s hard to get a dustpan flush to catch crumbs off the surface. Also, the side panels of stone mean there’s extra surfaces to clean and seal. The uniqueness of waterfall edge countertops merits careful consideration prior to installation.

Shaped To Perfection
Have you ever passed by a house with two ball-like trees flanking the front door? Those ball-like trees are called topiaries, and it took several hours of careful shaping and pruning to create them. Today, there are many plants that are suited for shaping. Some of these include boxwoods, fuchsia, holly, hydrangeas, ivy and lantana. In order to shape your plants, you need some lightweight potting soil, a 3-1/2-inch pot, pruning shears, staking ties and water-soluble fertilizer. Then you can follow these steps to create your topiary: 1. Plant a rooted cutting in some lightweight soil and let grow. 2. Transplant the plant when fully rooted to a 3-1/2inch pot and prune the side shoots to promote vertical growth. 3. Stake the plant with ties and put it in a sunny spot to grow for a couple of months. 4. Trim off the main verti-
cal shoot of the plant when it reaches two feet and strip off the bottom two-thirds of the shoots. 5. Feed the plant a watersoluble fertilizer once a month and loosen the ties around it as it grows. 6. Remove the growing tips to maintain a full top and prune as necessary. 7. Repot the plant when needed. If your plant does not have a central leader branch, you may need to use a wire topiary form to shape it. Simply put the form into the pot and fill around it with soil. Plant some rooted cuttings, wind individual strands around the topiary form and secure with twist ties. Put in a sunny pot and let grow, fertilizing when needed. Remove the growing tips to keep the top full and prune and repot when necessary. As your plant matures into a full-grown topiary, it will require less and less maintenance. All you will need to do to keep it looking nice is prune it every couple of weeks, removing the ragged ends and tucking in the misplaced branches.
Gas Fireplace Safety Tips To Consider This Season Few images capture the spirit of a season as well as a family gathered around a fireplace embodies winter. Winter is indeed a time when families spend more time together indoors, and there’s no better gathering spot than around a warm fireplace. Heartwarming scenes around a fireplace are even more enjoyable when safety has been prioritized. While natural fireplaces with roaring flames are notable safety risks, it’s important that individuals with gas fireplaces embrace fire safety as well. The following are some gas fireplace safety strategies everyone can embrace. • Avoid the DIY installation route. Even the most skilled do-it-yourselfers are urged to let the professionals install a new gas fireplace. Gas lines are nothing to mess around with, and professional installation teams have ample experience setting up new gas fireplaces in a home. • Be sure to install a carbon monoxide detector on the same floor as the fireplace. During the gas fireplace installation, ask that a carbon monoxide detector with bat-
tery backup is installed on the same floor. The detector alarm will alert individuals if something is amiss, like a gas leak. Periodically inspect the detector to ensure it’s working properly. • Periodically inspect your safety screen. Glass panels are standard features on many gas fireplaces. Such panels separate the fire within the fireplace from the people and items outside of it. Glass panels can become extremely hot, which is why most gas fireplaces come with safety screens as well.

These mesh safety screens can keep curious kids and pets from touching hot glass panels, and also protect adults. Inspect the safety screens periodically to ensure they’re still intact and up to the job, replacing them if necessary. • Keep objects a safe distance away from the fireplace. Experts advise keeping objects a minimum of three feet away from the fireplace at all times. Fabrics and other materials that contact the glass pose a fire hazard, so keep the area in front of the fireplace clear. • Make the fireplace off limits to children and pets. Though the aforementioned safety screens are a vital safety feature that can keep kids and pets safe, it’s still best that kids and pets are kept away from the fireplace at all times. Turn off the fireplace if kids are playing in the room, and use safety gates to keep kids and pets away when the fireplace is in use.

• Book annual fireplace inspections. Annual inspections of the fireplace can ensure everything is working properly. Professional inspections may detect potentially harmful gas leaks, and annual checkups also can help individuals extend the life of their fireplaces. • Recognize outdoor gas fireplaces have their own safety protocols. Outdoor fireplaces have become wildly popular in recent years. Homeowners who install outdoor gas fireplaces on their properties must recognize these awe-inspiring features require their own unique safety measures, including turning off the gas supply at the end of outdoor entertaining season and protecting the fireplace from the elements when necessary. Gas fireplace safety strategies can protect residents and also increase the life expectancy of these sought-after features.

Tips To Take Care Of Wood Flooring
Natural wood flooring is a stunning feature of millions of homes. Wood floors are appreciated for their durability and aesthetic appeal, each of which is bolstered when floors are properly maintained. A host of variables can affect how long wood flooring lasts and how its appearance holds up over time. Wood flooring in homes with pets that roam around the house, such as cats and dogs, may require more frequent maintenance than those without pets. The same goes for homes with children, who may routinely track dirt in from outside or spill food and drinks with greater frequency than adults. But even wood flooring in homes without pets and children requires consistent maintenance. Homeowners who want to protect their wood floors and ensure they maintain their aesthetic appeal for the long haul can consider the following maintenance tips, courtesy of the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA). • Sweep, dust or mop each day. The NWFA recommends daily maintenance to remove dust and dirt that accumulates each day. Such cleaning can prevent damage that can compromise the aesthetic appeal of the floors and potentially affect their longevity. • Clean spills immediately. Spills are inevitable, especially in homes where young children live. Though spills might not be preventable, the damage they can cause can be avoided with a prompt response. Cleaning spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth can ensure the floors do not soak up the spilled liquids. The NWFA notes that mopping wood floors with a wet mop or steam mop will damage the finish and the wood
over long periods of time. If allowed to soak into the floor, spilled liquid can contribute to warping, swelling and staining. Each of those issues can be costly to address, but a quick and immediate cleanup can prevent all three from happening. • Vacuum once per week on the bare floor setting. Utilizing a vacuum is less taxing on wood floors than sweeping so long as the vacuum is on the bare floor setting. Sweeping is best avoided to prevent small particles from being dragged across the floor, which gradually wears down the finish and ultimately contributes to a dull look. Vacuuming vertically lifts the debris off the floor, ensuring nothing is dragged along the surface of the floor. If you’re using a manual vacuum instead of a robotic vacuum, vacuum with the grain to reduce the risk of damage. • Apply wood flooring cleaner once per month. If your wood floors are newly installed, ask your installer to recommend a cleaner specifically designed for the finish on your floor. If your floors are not new, contact a flooring professional for a recommendation. Wood flooring cleaners specific to a given floor’s finish are important because these products are specialized and formulated with both cleaning and protection of the floor itself in mind. The right wood floor cleaner won’t lead to dull-looking floors nor damage the finish. • Recoat floors if they start to look dull. The NWFA notes that recoating with wood floor finish every three to five years can renew the appearance of natural wood flooring that might be starting to look a little dull. Well-maintained wood floors add much to a home’s interiors. Some simple maintenance can ensure wood floors remain durable and aesthetically appealing for decades.
Safety Considerations When Pressure Washing Water is essential to cleaning, but it can be an even more powerful asset when there is great force behind it. This is the concept behind pressure washers, which are tools that spray water at high pressure in order to clean an assortment of surfaces. Pressure washers are typically used to clean siding, farm equipment, industrial machinery, concrete patios, and much more. The power behind pressure washers can cause injury. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says pressure washers can cause of a host of injuries, including: • The strong spray can cause serious wounds. Highpressured water can cut through flesh. • The fast, strong spray can strike objects and toss them powerfully into others who are close by. • Electric shock may occur if the pressure washer is not used properly. • The force from the washer can knock a person off balance, whether operating the tool on the ground or while on a ladder. In most cases, injuries due to pressure washer usage are entirely preventable. Those who plan to use pressure washers should always do so with safety in mind. Here are some precautions to take. • Identify potential hazards. Identify potential hazards with each different surface before beginning the job. Weather, personal fatigue, slippery surfaces and

Waterproof gloves also are wise to provide better grip. Ear protection for a gaspowered pressure washer can protect against hearing loss. • Start off with the widest spray. Pressure washers often include various nozzles or nozzle settings that may range from a 65-degree mist to a zero-degree pinpoint jet. Most people never need to use the most intense jet sprays. Begin washing with the widest angle spray tip, from around two feet away, to test cleaning capabilities, and adjust nozzle and distance as necessary, according to PressureWasher.com Pressure washers help clean any number of surfaces.

Shedding Some Light On Using Solar Energy Nine Signs Consumers shopping around for home improvement projects may be leaning toward overhauls that can reduce energy consumption and save them money in the long run. This is a driving factor behind a growing number of homeowners investigating solar energy for their residences. How does solar power work? Solar power harnesses the sun’s energy and converts it into electricity that can be used in homes. Many people are familiar with photovoltaics (PV), which are the panels that absorb sunlight and create an electric field across their layers. Another solar technology, known as concentrating solar power, is primarily used in large power plants and is not appropriate for residential use, according to Energy.gov. According to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Re-
newable Energy, hundreds of thousands of solar panels have been put in use across the United States since 2008.
Costs associated with solar The up-front expense of solar panels is significant, costing anywhere from $10,000 to $14,000 for initial installation. However, comparatively speaking, homeowners can spend $1,500 or more per year on electricity, so solar panels will pay for themselves over time. Keep in mind that costs may vary depending on energy needs and how many panels will be required to service the system.
How much electricity can I expect? The Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Advice says that the amount of power generated from a solar energy system depends on a few factors: 1. The average number of hours of direct, unshaded sunlight your roof gets each year; 2. The pitch (angle), age and condition of your roof, and the compass direction it faces; 3. The size and strength of your system; and 4. Environmental factors such as snow, dust or shade that may cover the system. Save even more money Consumers can contact their utility companies to find out if they provide homeowners who produce solar power with “net metering.” This program pays the homeowner money or gives credit for excess power the system produces and returns to the electric grid. Individuals also may be eligible for energy tax credits or other benefits. Homeowners may find it worthwhile to explore solar energy, particularly if they consume a high amount of electricity.
Of Pest Infestation
Individuals want a home that is welcoming and comfortable. Unfortunately many conditions that people find appealing also appeal to pests. Pests may be more problematic at certain times of year, such as when weather is extreme and pests like rodents or even raccoons seek refuge in a home. During times of year when temperatures are mild, certain insects may begin to hatch or swarm, becoming problematic around the home. Some signs of pests taking up residence may be readily apparent, while others may be less obvious. The following are nine signs of pest infestation in or around a home. 1. Droppings: Small droppings may indicate that pests are nearby. Droppings will vary depending on the insect or rodent. It’s good to familiarize yourself with the appearance of various droppings, from mice to termites to bed bugs. 2. Footprints: Footprints are another sign of pest infestation. Footprints left in dirt around a home, or in dusty areas in the attic or basement, may show that pests are tracking in and out of the house. 3. Sawdust piles or trails: Sawdust could be indicative of termites or ants. Insects like carpenter bees also may
burrow into areas of wood and leave sawdust behind. 4. Shed wings, skins and casings: Many insects molt and, during this process, will shed certain parts of their anatomy to grow larger. Roaches, bed bugs and beetles are some pests that might be scattering sheds or egg casings in a home. Termite wings are discarded once the swarmers choose a new location for the colony. 5. Foul odors: Musty or foul smells, particularly in hidden areas, may indicate pests are nesting nearby. 6. Unexplained noises: Scratching or scurrying in walls or floors often indicates pests are present. 7. Bites: Waking up in the morning with welts or red areas on the skin might indicate the presence of bed bugs or other biting insects. 8. Presence of nests: Those who can see nests in corners or undisturbed areas of the home likely have pests present. Rodents often use chewed cardboard, insulation, paper, and other scavenged items to create nests, according to exterminators. 9. Increased number of beneficial insects: An influx of spiders and other predatory insects may indicate there are plenty of food sources in the home for them to feast on. Pests can be problematic, but homeowners who recognize signs of infestation can take prompt action.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VERTEX MECHANICAL | STEVENS, PENNSYLVANIA
VERTEX MECHANICAL REMAINS FOCUSED ON LOCAL OWNERSHIP AND COMMUNITY Stevens-based home services company says being part of the community means more than simply doing business here STEVENS, PA - In an industry where locally recognized home-service companies are increasingly changing ownership, Vertex Mechanical is emphasizing something that has been central to the Stevens-based company: local ownership, local relationships and involvement in the community it serves.
"If you just moved into a house and don't know how everything works, call us," Youndt said. "We'll walk through it with you. We'll show you what things do, what you should be maintaining and what you should keep an eye on. We don't need to sell you something to start a relationship."
Vertex Mechanical provides heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical services throughout the region. Owner and President Vincent Youndt says the company's goal goes beyond repairing and replacing equipment.
Youndt said the company's hope is simple: when that homeowner eventually does need professional help, Vertex will already be someone they know and trust.
"We value each of our customers like we do our own families," Youndt said. "It's our goal to be your trusted resource when it comes to the things that make your home work." For Vertex, being a local business also means participating in the community outside of customers' homes. The company has supported numerous local schools, youth organizations, churches and nonprofit organizations. That involvement has ranged from taking Cocalico High School teachers and local Little League families to a Reading Phillies game to working alongside Lions Club members serving hamburgers during one of the organization's largest annual fundraisers. Those activities are part of what Vertex calls being a member of the "Home Team." "We don't just want our trucks to be seen in the community," Youndt said. "We want our people to actually be part of it. This is where we live and work, too. When the community succeeds, all of us benefit."
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE SOMETHING BREAKS
Vertex is also taking a somewhat different approach to introducing homeowners to the company. Rather than requiring a service problem before a homeowner calls, Vertex offers a complimentary evaluation of a home's heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems with no obligation. The service can be particularly helpful for people who have recently purchased a home and aren't familiar with its mechanical systems.
The approach also reflects the company's desire to move away from promotional gimmicks sometimes associated with the home-services industry.
THE HOME TEAM
“WE WANT OUR PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY BE PART OF IT.” - Vincent Youndt, Owner & President
"We're not interested in confusing people with offers that sound like you're getting a furnace for free when you buy an air conditioner," Youndt said. "We would rather sit down with a homeowner, answer their questions and give them straightforward information so they can make a good decision for their home."
TAKING ON THE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS Vertex has also made solving unusual and difficult home-comfort problems an important part of its business.
For Vertex Mechanical, those questions are closely connected.
The company's technicians work across heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems, giving the team the ability to investigate problems that may involve more than one part of a home. "We actually like the problems that make you scratch your head a little bit," Youndt said. "If someone has been told that something can't be fixed, we want them to give us a call. We may be able to find another solution, and having that initial conversation with us isn't going to cost them anything."
KNOWING WHO IS BEHIND THE COMPANY
Youndt also encourages homeowners to learn more about the companies they hire to work inside their homes. That includes asking who owns the business, where decisions are made, who will stand behind the work and how the company participates in the community.
"We're building a company that we want to be here for the long haul," Youndt said. "We want to take care of your home today, but we also want to be the company you call five or ten years from now - and the company you're comfortable recommending to your family." That long-term approach is what Vertex means when it describes itself as part of the Home Team: local people taking care of local homes while supporting the schools, organizations, churches and communities around them.
ABOUT VERTEX MECHANICAL Vertex Mechanical, based in Stevens, Pennsylvania, is a locally owned home-services company providing heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical services. The company serves homeowners throughout the surrounding region with a focus on technical expertise, customer relationships and community involvement.

Potential Threats And Hazards To Pet Health In Your Own Yard Homes are often characterized as sanctuaries for their residents. Though such characterizations often are made in reference to humans and their domiciles, homes also should be safe spaces for pets. Pet owners go to great lengths to ensure their pets are healthy and happy, and that typically includes efforts to ensure their home interiors are free of hazards that could affect their furry friends. But there are various threats to pet health in a yard
as well. Recognition of those threats and what can be done to minimize them can ensure exterior spaces are as safe for pets as areas inside the home. • Mulch: Mulch is found in many yards, as it adds aesthetic appeal to a landscape and helps soil retain moisture, which can safeguard trees, plants and flowers from drought and the dog days of summer.

population growth are driving forces behind that increase, which suburban homeowners may already be witnessing. As more and more wooded areas are leveled to create additional housing, wildlife such as deer, racoons, opossum, foxes, and more are losing their habitats and subsequently being seen with greater frequency in suburban neighborhoods. Wildlife can carry disease that can make domesticated animals sick, and some wildlife might go on the attack when they encounter cats or dogs in backyards. Monitoring pets whenever they’re outside, sealing garbage cans so wildlife is not attracted to the yard and keeping compost piles free of foods that might draw wildlife to a yard are some of the ways to reduce the chances of interactions between wild animals and domesticated pets. These are just a handful of threats to pet health that might be lurking in your backyard. Always keep an eye on pets when they’re outdoors and speak with a veterinarian to identify ways to minimize threats.

Considering A Home Renovation? - Here Are Some Budget-Friendly Tips Renovations around the house require an investment of time and often considerable amounts of money. Findings from the 2024 U.S. Houzz & Home Study show that home renovations are becoming more expensive. The median renovation spending for homeowners has gone up 60 percent since 2020. Angi, a home services website, reports the average renovation cost for homes between 1,250 and 1,600 square feet is $51,772, but the final cost of home renovations depends on the scope of the project. Homeowners who are conserving funds can rest assured that it is possible to make meaningful changes both inside and outside a home without breaking the bank. Here are some ways to renovate a home on a budget. • Create a budget and don’t waver. Figure out exactly what you can afford for a renovation and then make that your maximum dollars spent. Research comparable projects in your area and be honest about whether you can afford the renovation asis or if you must adapt ideas to fit your price. Make sure to build in a cushion of around 15 to 20 percent for any unforeseen expenses that may arise once a renovation is underway. • Maximize an existing
floor plan. This Old House suggests looking for ways to maximize your current layout before you invest in major renovations like an expansion. Bring in a designer with an eye for utilizing space. For example, see how you might be able to replace shelves with pull-out drawers in the kitchen. Moving furniture around or rethinking floor plans also can help to lower costs. • Balance DIY with hiring contractors. You can save money by tackling some projects yourself, but only if you are confident in your renovation skills. Rather than risk making costly mistakes and having to redo
things, hire well-vetted pro- provement materials and fessionals but ask if there’s furnishings. any DIY work you can do to cut costs. • Take advantage of free • Check clearance and resale stores. Shop discount stores for building materials to save money. For example, if a builder ordered too many cabinets they may offer them to Habitat for Humanity ReStores, which are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers. Checking the clearance and markdown sections of other stores may yield considerable savings on items needed for a renovation. Warehouse retailers like Costco or Sam’s Club also can be great places to find certain home im-
services. Certain stores may offer things like free consultations with designers who can show you what a renova-
tion can look like. This is advantageous to the stores because once you see the potential you’re more likely to buy the products, even if it’s not mandatory. • Resurface instead of redo. Certain items can be made to look new with minimal effort. Paint is a relatively inexpensive tool that can transform walls and more. A good hardwood flooring company can buff out a floor and put a new coating instead of an entirely new floor. Kitchen cabinets can be resurfaced instead of replaced as well. Finding ways to perform home renovations on a budget may require some creative thinking, but it’s possible to get results at the right price point.

Mold Prevention And Health Problems Linked To Mold Exposure
Mold is a natural part of the environment and can be found growing just about anywhere that moisture and oxygen are present, advises the Environmental Protection Agency. Mold is a fungus that can be helpful because it breaks down dead organic matter. But mold growth indoors can prove problematic, not only to personal living spaces but to one’s health. When mold grows outdoors in the fresh air, exposure to it can be minimal. However, mold growing in- ed conditions that adversely overall health. The Rhode says exposure to a large doors can cause concentrat- affect indoor air quality and Island Department of Health number of mold spores may cause symptoms associated with allergies, such as runny nose, watery eyes, headache, fatigue, and sneezing, among others. Exposure to certain molds, such as Stachybotrys and Aspergillus, can cause more serious illness because of the mycotoxins these molds produce. Aspergillosis is a fungal lung infection with emerging antimicrobial resistance, 80 says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The World Health Organization, the National Academy of Medicine and the National Toxicology Program report that occupants of damp, moldy buildings have an increased risk of respiratory problems. Repeated exposure to mold can lead to asthma, which is a chronic airway disease characterized by inflammation, states the National Institutes of Health. Individuals can experience shortness of breath and airway obstruction from the overproduction of mucus. Additional conditions also can be attributed to mold. For example, valley fever is linked to the fungus Coccidioides, which lives in soil in some areas of the southwestern United States. Mucormycosis is a severe but rare fungal infection caused by a group of molds known as mucormycetes, says the CDC. It affects the sinuses or the lungs of people with weakened immune systems. Though some people who come in contact with mold will not develop any adverse
symptoms, it is still best to address indoor mold problems promptly. These steps can help. • Use dehumidifiers in damp areas, such as basements. • Ventilate bathrooms, kitchens and laundry areas. • Fix any leaks in pipes, walls or windows promptly. • Use mold-resistant paint. • Make sure that clothes dryers and exhaust fans vent to the outdoors rather than an attic or another room. • Remove mold with moldkilling products. The CDC says mold can be cleaned from hard surfaces with soap and water or a bleach solution of no more than one cup of household bleach to one gallon of water. Mold is everywhere in the environment, but prevention of indoor mold growth can help people avoid respiratory issues and other health problems.

Tips To Clear A Cluttered Home
The dawn of a new year is often characterized as a chance to wipe the slate clean and start anew. The tradition of making New Year’s resolutions reinforces that characterization, as many people resolve to turn over a new leaf and commit to a year of self-improvement on January 1. While the phrase “wipe the slate clean” may be figurative, some also might take it literally, particularly in regard to their homes. Those who want to turn over a new
leaf in a cluttered home can consider these storage solutions to give spaces a fresh and less claustrophobic feel in the year ahead. • Clear kitchen countertops. Kitchens are the most popular rooms in many homes, and that popularity can come with a cost. Clutter can quickly accumulate on kitchen countertops, which is both inconvenient when preparing meals at home and unsightly to residents and guests. Appliances used with frequency, such as coffee machines and toasters, can be given countertop real estate, but store lesser used items, like blenders and waffle makers, in cabinets or pantries. Mail or materials sent home from children’s schools also can pile up in a kitchen, so re-
solve to go through the mail each day and discard unnecessary items. School papers can be read when children arrive home from school and any that need to be kept can be stored in a folder placed inside a drawer in the kitchen or a home office. • Install drawer dividers. Drawer dividers can help clear up cluttered spaces that might not be visible to the naked eye. Dividers inserted into kitchen drawers can ensure leftover containers are stored neatly and are easily accessible. Drawer dividers in a home office space can make sure desks don’t fall victim to disorganization, which can make it harder to find supplies and important documents. • Consider furniture that
pulls double duty. Some home furnishings are more than meets the eye, and that multifunctional utility can help people conquer cluttered spaces. Storage ottomans are a prime example of furniture that serves multiple purposes. Blankets and throws left out on chairs and couches can make living areas feel more cramped and less organized. A storage ottoman can be a great solution in such spaces, providing both a place to put one’s feet and also a clever storage solution for blankets and pillows. A coffee table with a small drawer or two can make for a multifunctional centerpiece to store remote controls, coasters and other small items that can encourage the buildup
of clutter if left out when the room is not in use. A storage bench in bedrooms and guestrooms also can ensure these spaces stay clear of clutter. • Think vertical. It might be possible to work your way up if storage is a problem in certain areas of the home. Vertical storage solutions might be especially useful in areas like a garage, which can be difficult to navigate if garden tools and other outdoor items are left on a floor. Overhead storage racks that utilize a crank to raise and lower the rack when items need to be accessed and stored can be great ways to store holiday decorations and other items. Kitchens with high ceilings
also can employ a hanging pot rack to create more cabinet space and reduce the amount of items that need to be stored on countertops. Clutter can quickly take over a home. But some simple storage solutions may be all anyone needs to more effectively organize a home.

Home Theater Features To Consider
Dedicated home theaters and the more diverse “media rooms” still command their share of real estate in homes. A report from the Business Research Company estimates that the home theater market size will reach $66.16 billion by 2027, with a 19.5 percent growth rate between now and then. Home theaters can fall into a wide range of categories. Some media room enthusiasts embark on retrofitting spaces on their own, making equipping the room a do-ityourself endeavor. Others interested in a state-of-theart setup may leave the work to a professional, especially if it involves construction or installation of large equipment. Some things need to be kept in mind for those interested in putting in home theaters, especially if they want to create the ultimate home theater experience. Here is the gear to consider. AV Receiver An AV receiver will process all the different input and output sources involved in a home theater setup. This includes Blu-ray, streaming devices, video games, screens, and speakers. The AV receiver should have enough inputs to play several sources. Screen Depending on the space and size of the room, a home theater may feature a traditional large screen television or a projector and projector screen for a more cinematic feel. According to U.S. News and World Report, some of the newest television technology comes by way of OLED, or organic light-emitting diode. OLED employs emissive technology that utilizes millions of pixels that emit their own light rather than relying on a separate backlight. Many people believe OLED displays are the best on the market today. Surround Sound An immersive home theater audio experience requires surround sound. This includes a combination of floorstanding speakers, sub-
woofer, single center speaker, and possibly smaller side speakers to truly disperse sound around the room. Those who have small home theater spaces that do not necessitate surround sound can opt for a soundbar. Some soundbars use advanced digital sound to trick the ears into thinking there are speakers all around them. Plush Seating Reclining on individual seating is one of the perks of going to the movies. Increasingly homeowners are designing their home theaters to include cinema-style recliners. Look for options at furniture retailers that include large armrests with cupholders and spaces for snacks. Some even have small LED lights for increased comfort moving around dark rooms. Homeowners with large home theater capabilities can offset seating and even place it on risers to simulate a traditional theater and improve the viewing experience. Smart Light Fixtures Utilize smart light bulbs in fixtures so that lights can be colored or dimmed appropriately depending on need in the media area, such as those from Philips Hue. Light strips can be run along the baseboards of the room to define the perimeter and give it that distinct movie theater feel. Additional considerations for a home theater include a miniature vending machine, refrigerator, popcorn maker or small snack station for refreshments.
Kitchen Cabinets: Reface Or Replace Them?
The kitchen is a busy room in many homes. That popularity likely has something to do with why so many homeowners spend sizable sums renovating their kitchens. According to highlights from the 2022 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends Study, the median spend on major kitchen remodels grew by 14 percent from the previous year, and minor remodels increased by 25 percent. Spurred on by increased time spent at home during the pandemic, the main impetus for kitchen remodels according to the study was that homeowners wanted to make these improvements all along and finally had the time and means to do so. There are many aspects of a kitchen that homeowners can change. Houzz found 94 percent of renovators either fully or partially replaced cabinets in their improvement plans. Cabinets are a major component of kitchen layouts. Cabinets help to establish the aesthetic of a kitchen and serve a useful function, providing necessary storage space to ensure the room does not appear cluttered. Homeowners have different options when it comes to cabinet renovations, and they may need to decide if they need to replace or reface their cabinets. Replacement Cabinet replacement involves removing all of the existing cabinets before new cabinets are leveled and installed. According to the
© 2026 King Features Syndicate
Most people call in professionals to change their cabinets. Cabinet replacement can be a do-it-yourself job, but it involves measuring and ensuring everything fits and is leveled appropriately. Homeowners who choose to reface their cabinets themselves may opt to paint or restain. Wood veneer or a new door and drawer panel installation can be complicated and is best left to qualified contractors.

The 1978 song by Warren Zevon started as a joke suggested by Phil Everly (of the Everly Brothers) and was penned in 15 minutes. It was the recording that was difficult, taking nearly 60 attempts. 2. Prince, in 1979. The song went to No. 1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart and stayed there for two weeks. 3. The Animals, in 1965. It appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. 4. From Sterno, the liquid fuel used under buffet chafing dishes. 5. “Suspicious Minds,” by Elvis Presley, released in 1969. Written and first recorded by Mark James in 1968, the song failed to chart until Presley’s version became a No. 1 hit. Presley’s recording was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
and in the same location. The cabinet boxes must be in good shape to facilitate a refacing. The process involves installation of new drawer fronts and cabinet doors, as well as veneering of the cabinet boxes. New hardware typically is installed as well. The insides of the cabinets typically remain the same. The Spruce says cabinet refacing can be 30 to 50 percent cheaper than a replacement.
home improvement resource The Spruce, homeowners can expect to pay between $13,000 and $30,000 for contractor grade cabinets. Cabinet replacement is a good idea when homeowners want to add more cabinet space or create a new layout in the room. Refacing Cabinet refacing is less messy and less disruptive than replacement. All cabinets remain the same size

Homeowners also should not underestimate the challenges of working on ladders that are high up off the ground. Professionals are accustomed to such challenges, while DIYers may not be comfortable climbing ladders with materials and tools in hand. A gutter replacement is a worthwhile investment that can ensure rain water efficiently and effectively runs through gutters and away from the roof. Make sure the job is done right!

Signs gutters should be replaced Various signs indicate it’s time to replace existing gutters. Homeowners should act promptly if any of the following signs arise, as poorly functioning gutters can make it hard for water to get into the downspouts, ultimately pushing it backward and likely underneath roof shingles, where the result can be costly water damage. • Peeling paint • Cracks • Pooling water in the gutter • Mildew in the gutter, which

Certain home renovation projects are more glamorous and exciting than others. A remodeled kitchen is sure to garner its share of “oohs and aahs,” while a newly paved driveway is much less likely to dazzle guests. A gutter replacement is another job that might not have the wow factor. But fully functioning gutters are a must and can help to prevent potentially expensive roof damage. Gutters rarely draw attention, but homeowners can keep an eye out for signs that indicate gutters need to be replaced. Here are some things to look for:

Considering An In-Law Suite?
The modern real estate market has led millions of aspiring homebuyers to reconsider their approach to buying a home. Low inventory has led to high home prices. When paired with mortgage interest rates that have remained north of 6 percent for years, the high sticker price of homes has made many buyers wonder if homeownership is simply beyond their means. It’s impossible to know if or when home prices will come down, but some buyers have chosen to seek homes that can accommodate multiple generations. According to the Pew Research Center, the share of multi-generational homes rose from 7 percent in 1971 to 18 percent in 2021. A multitude of factors have contributed to that increase, and housing affordability is one such variable. In 2024, researchers studying multigenerational households at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania noted that housing affordability declined considerably in recent years but also had been on the decline
for decades. As homes become less affordable, the number of multi-generational households tends to increase, and that’s something modern buyers can keep in mind as they look for a home. In-law suites that accommodate multi-generational households can provide a pathway to homeownership for buyers who otherwise may be priced out of the market. Buyers considering homes with an in-law suite or those who want to add one to their existing homes can familiarize themselves with these convenient and potentially cost-saving features. • Note the significance of a separate entrance. Whether you’re looking for a home with an in-law suite or hoping to add one on to your existing home, a separate en-
trance for suite residents can allow them to come and go as they please. That sense of independence is significant. In addition, a separate entrance can make a home seem less like a multigenerational residence, which at times can feel crowded, and more like a single-generation home. That can afford all residents a little more peace and quiet in a typical day. • Expect an increase in taxes if you’re adding on. As with any addition to a home, adding an in-law suite to an
SALES EVENT SEPT. 16-NOV. 16
existing home is likely to result in an increase in homeowners’ property taxes. The amount of that increase is contingent upon variables unique to each residence, like location and the size of the addition. When shopping for homes with existing inlaw suites, buyers can request existing tax information so they are not surprised by the number like they might be if they add on to an existing home. Despite that, it might still be in prospective buyers’ best interest to
add on to an existing property and pay the additional taxes than it would to buy a new home. • Try to include features residents have come to expect when living independently. An in-law suite should include its own private bathroom, a washroom for a washer and dryer and a kitchen or kitchenette. If everyone in a multi-generational household is forced to use the same bathrooms, washers and dryers, and kitchens, then the home might begin to feel cramped rather quickly.
• Try to secure off-street parking. Though it might not affect the ambiance within the in-law suite itself, an offstreet parking spot is a convenience residents will appreciate. Such a space will allow residents to come and go as they please and save them the headache of moving their vehicles for snowplows and street cleaners. In-law suites could be an in-demand feature as more homeowners and aspiring buyers seek to reduce housing costs by embracing multi-generational living arrangements.

If your interest in porcelain pigs has waned, it may be time to clear out collectibles to make room for other things. Assess your paper files Major financial records and/or business documents can be kept indefinitely, but other files likely can be shredded. The Internal
consensus is to keep bank and credit card statements, pay stubs, paid medical bills, and such for a year before discarding them. Going digital by scanning files or documents and storing them securely might be an alternative to bulky files. Getting organized means figuring out what to keep and what needs to go, a process that differs for each person.
