Good News
Faith Christian School's first Roseto Remembrance Run 5K and 1 mile fun walk was held on May 25th. It was a special event, Scott Ewing was supposed to be a part of the event, but passed away suddenly on May 21st. Those involved with handling the event made a tribute to Scott Ewing. They made a card for Scott with Isaiah 40:28-31 printed on it and pre-race they sang Amazing Grace in his honor. After some moments of mourning the "Scott Ewing Timing Team" consisting of friends and family went into action and handled the event in a fashion that Scott would have been extremely proud of. The team did this to show love for each other, the community, and most of all love for their dear friend Scott. The event was a success because of the generosity of Scott Ewing and all involved.

REAL ESTATE
Why Isn't My House Selling? In the past I’ve been told that I sometimes use a sledgehammer to kill a butterfly. I am afraid that today my brutally honest response to this question will uphold that statement but here goes. One reason could be that it is just to unusual for most buyers. Another reason could be that it is situated in an unfortunate location - to close to the highway or landfill, under a jet flight pattern, in an area that has become commercial in nature, or some other situation that cannot be corrected. Some houses have been modified in such a way that they do not meet the needs of most buyers, for example, a home that has been modified by changing the garage into an apartment to accommodate another family member. Then there is the issue with upkeep. Is your house in reasonable repair? Is there any chipped paint? Are the windows operable? I can go in this area but you get the thought. You knew this was coming - the most prevalent reason that a property does not sell is related to pricing! In book #1 of real estate you’ll find the statement “Every property WILL SELL - when it is priced at an amount that a buyer is willing to pay.” Overpriced homes will do several things, none of them good. Most seriously, they will stay on the market longer and cost you in the end. The old rule of thumb is that if you price a home over the true market value, when it eventually sells you will end up with much less than if you would have realized had you started with a realistic price. In today’s real estate market there are a significant amount of
The Real Estate Guys: Ron DeCesare, Ron DeCesare Sr. homes for sale. As a result of the default issues loan programs have been tightened and credit requirements have increased. Employment concerns due to the economic climate are a factor. Fuel prices have diminished the amount of people who formerly would have chose to live in our area and commute further to work. I could go on, but the point is that there simply are fewer buyers. Sellers, therefore, must look at the correct listing price for their homes as they are compared to comparable homes on the market. The simple rule of supply & demand. A knowledgeable real estate professional should inform you as to the realistic potential sale price for your home. In many cases the realtor simply is not accurate or, unfortunately, tells you what you want to hear in order to get your listings. This is crucial element. I suggest that you interview several real estate professionals and hire the one that you believe will best be able to represent your interests throughout the complex marketing and sale process. What else can you do? A few tips for you are as follows: 1. To reiterate the #1 issue - Make sure that your home is not priced above “For Sale” homes in the surrounding area. Be brutally honest with yourself. When similar homes in similar areas are for sale, it is only logical that the lower priced home will sell first. 2. Make your property look better that those you are competing with by sprucing up the landscape and exterior - first impression counts. 3. Time should be spent cleaning the interior and putting things in their place.
Tips to Spruce up your Back Yard or Patio without Breaking Your Budget: 1. If you can't afford to replace your patio furniture replace the cushions and paint the old furniture 2. Buy a new patio umbrella 3. Light up your backyard, porch or patio and walkways with solar lights, hanging lights or rope lights 4. Plant a few new perennials and add some colorful annuals to your flower beds 5. Make your own fire pit. Easy and inexpensive use rocks or pavers. 6. Purchase inexpensive flower pots and fill with Herbs
Discard or store clutter. Buyers want to visualize where they will put their things more than your extensive collection of stuff. Finally, “Don’t shoot the piano player” A real estate professional will expose your property through proven methods. Always choose Broker or agent with a proven track record and interpersonal skills to represent you. You must feel confident that your agent has the ability to get the job done - then let him do it! There will be testy times. You will be tempted to blame the agent for your home not selling. Remember that the realtor is motivated to sell your property. He does not earn a dime unless your property sells. Keep this article for those testy times. Honestly review the various items in this article and asses the position of your home in the market and make corrections if necessary. Then feel confident and keep your chin up. Keep the faith - Every home will sell! If you have any real estate questions feel free to call us at The Great American Real Estate Company, Wind Gap, Pa. 610-863-6205

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

Strawberry season is upon us and local farms and farmer's markets will be offering fresh picked or pick your own strawberries. It is also the season for local strawberry festivals offering fresh strawberry pie, shortcake and other delicious strawberry treats. Here are a few tips for picking the best berries and keeping them fresh. • The deeper red the strawberry the sweeter the berry will be. • When picking your own strawberries pick the berries with the caps on (the little green leaves on top of the berry) they will stay fresh longer. • To keep strawberries fresh for a longer period line a clean container with a paper towel, place your cleaned berries in the container and cover with another paper towel and the container lid. Store in the refrigerator they should stay fresh for up to a week. Do you have a favorite strawberry recipe that you would like to share. Email your strawberry recipes to thebeltandbeyond@gmail.com
Strawberry Spinach Salad Recipe Strawberry Season is here and there are other ways to use those delicious berries than just desserts. Here's an easy and tasty recipe for a quick lunch or even dinner.

WSCI Radio Artist of the Week Listen LIVE 24/7 online at www.WSCIRadio.com
ROI and the SECRET PEOPLE Renowned for their exciting live shows, Roi and the Secret People (RSP) features the mesmerizing voice of Mike Roi and the musical talents of Randy Melick on guitar, Craig Martyn on drums, Dan DeChellis on piano, and Glen Radomski on bass. Roi, who hails from South Florida, set out to assemble a group of talented, experienced, and like-minded musicians to create the version of rock music he was raised with. Armed with all original music, RSP has played such renowned clubs as Rockwood Music Hall, Mercury Lounge and Arlene’s Grocery in New York City and The World Live Cafe, The Northstar Bar, The Tin Angel, and The Legendary Dobbs in Philadelphia. RSP's first album, Dog St., includes a variety of tunes from the stunning, haunting song, “Firefly,” to the balls-tothe-wall sound of the title track “Dog St.” Their newly released 2nd album, Phoenix, blends Roi’s pop sensibilities with an alternative rock twist mired in sounds from the likes of Nick Lowe to Tom Petty. Roi has been known to say that all he needs is a good bottle of bourbon, a good cigar, and a guitar to create the kind of true-blue, sexy, and salt-of-the earth music that has captivated audiences in up and down the Eastern seaboard. Eclectic, diverse, and thoroughly original, RSP is a band that combines a classic rock vibe with a lyrical, wholly unique sound.

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

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

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

How to personalize your backyard with a beautiful concrete path (BPT) - Paths provide the practical purpose of connecting two or more locations but a wellmade walkway that will stand up for years can enrich the natural landscape of a backyard and complement the exterior look of a home. While traditionally popular materials for creating paths, like brick and stone, are attractive and durable, they can be expensive and challenging to install. An easy and affordable alternative is to build a path yourself using a plastic form and pre-mixed packaged concrete. Taking this approach not only minimizes cost, time and headache, the preference and personal taste of each individual homeowner dictates the color, style and movement in the finished concrete path. It starts with selecting the style of path, which can range from a natural looking country stone pattern to a more standard running bond brick pattern. The QUIKRETE Walkmaker forms are 2 foot by 2 foot and conveniently hold one 80-pound bag of concrete, so homeowners can work on the path at their own pace by following these simple directions. Remember when working with cementitious products, always wear eye protection and gloves.
26
Steps for laying a path * Remove the sod and soil to the desired width, shape and length of path, be sure to keep it as flat and level as possible. * Slowly mix the concrete and water in a wheelbarrow with a garden hoe, shovel or in a concrete mixer according to the directions on the bag. * Lay the form at the beginning of the path and fill with concrete mix, being sure to smooth the surface with a trowel. * Promptly remove the form and smooth the edges of the path with a trowel before the concrete mix hardens. For a nonslip finish, brush the surface with a stiff broom. * Continue by placing the form against the completed section of the path. Then fill with the concrete mix, remove the form and smooth the surface. Repeat the process until the path is complete. * To create a curved walkway, after removing the form from the freshly poured section of path, reposition the form in the direction of the curve and press down to slice off the corner. Use a trowel to consolidate and smooth cut off edges. The path can be further customized by incorporating liquid colors, stains, and/or embedding gravel or other small aggregates into the concrete. For more tips, direction and information on laying a concrete path using forms and pre-mixed packaged concrete, visit www.quikrete.com or look for QUIKRETE on Facebook.
