Announcements
The White Deer Commu nity Park is hosting its 1st Annual Bigfoot & Bluegrass Festival on October 11, 2025, from 10 am to 6 pm. Although early in the planning process, this event is already showing signs of a fun-filled, wellattended event. Currently we have three guest speakers specializing in all things “Bigfoot,” and we have a live band, for two performances. This event will feature several contests for the community to participate in including the Longest & Bushy Bigfoot Beard, Largest Foot (as compared to Bigfoot’s), and a Bigfoot Calling Contest. The Pennsylvania Bigfoot Project will be offering hands-on fun to teach children how to make plaster casings of Bigfoot prints. Along with all the Bigfoot fun, we are also offering a Craft/Vendor show with up to
75 vendors participating. Thus far, our reach for the craft/vendor show has drawn and booked a vendor from near and far, with the furtherest coming from midstate Ohio. We are anticipating a large and geographically diversified attending audience, as we are aware that our advertising efforts have reached into upper New York State, Ohio, New Jersey and Maryland. 10/6

Navigating Your Options After a Natural Disaster
(StatePoint) After a disaster strikes, following these essential steps can help you protect your home, stabilize your finances and begin the process of rebuilding:
Contact Your Insurer Immediately. Your insurer will assess the condition of your property and reimburse the costs to repair or replace any damages subject to your policy’s coverage. The insurance company may send an adjuster to investigate your claim and determine how much they will pay. You may consider having a contractor assess the damage and develop a repair plan, but avoid making costly repairs until the adjuster confirms what will be reimbursed.
coverage. For additional assistance with temporary living expenses, contact organizations such as the Homeowner’s HOPE hotline at (888) 995-HOPE.
your normal mortgage payments resume.
Your mortgage servicer will be in touch within 30 days of the end of your forbearance period. Keep an open line of communication with them to navigate your repayment options, which may include:
• A full reinstatement, in which you pay in one lump sum the total mortgage payments you owe, including taxes and insurance premiums paid, delinquent interest, any legal costs and other expenses incurred by the loan servicer.
Many policies also cover the cost of temporary housing, food, pet boarding and other household expenses if you are displaced. When you speak with your insurer, gather as much information as possible about your
Contact Your Mortgage Servicer. Let your mortgage servicer know about your circumstances as soon as possible. They can help you understand the mortgage relief options available to you. Forbearance is a common option, allowing you to make reduced payments or pause your mortgage payments for a specified period of time. If your loan is owned by Freddie Mac, you may be eligible for enhanced mortgage relief options.
Know Your Repayment Options. When your disaster forbearance period ends, your options vary depending on your circumstances. Regardless, it’s important to prepare for when
• A repayment plan, which increases your regular monthly mortgage payment for a short period of time to make up for the mortgage payments you missed.
• A payment deferral, which moves your missed mortgage payments to the end of your loan term, but keeps your monthly payment amount the same.
• A loan modification, in which you and your loan servicer agree in writing to modify or restructure your mortgage to make it more affordable and sustainable. Loan modifications typically reduce the amount of your monthly payment by changing the terms of your mortgage, which may include the length of your loan term or the interest rate on your loan.

Tips to Stay on Top of Chores This Back-to-School Season
VALLEY HO E IMPROVEMENT VALLEY AUCTIONS VALLEY HEALTH
(StatePoint) The start of a school year ushers in new messes and less time to tackle them. But you can stay ahead of dirt, clutter, slime and grime with these innovative tools and strategies:
Power Through Messes
Busy households, especially those with kids and pets, can benefit from a powerful cleaning tool that makes everyday floor care faster, easier and more efficient. That’s where solutions like the Tineco GO H2O HammerHead MessDetect, available at Target, come into play. A 3-in-1 mop, vacuum and self-cleaning system, its versatility and ease of use will encourage you to make quick daily passes in high-traffic zones so that even with little ones and furry friends tracking in dirt, you can keep the home spotless.
Dust bunnies and after school snack crumbs have finally met their match thanks to its lay-flat design and 128-degree swivel brush, which let you reach under low-clearance furniture without heavy lifting. Plus, the bacteria-resistant Zero Tangle Brush tackles pet hair effortlessly. The brush, paired with an anti-odor solution, help keep your home smelling fresh.
There’s a reason Tineco is found in over 19.5 million homes. The brand is constantly improving its products.
The GO H2O Hammerhead Mess Detect features a 60% larger water tank than previous models, a cordless 30-minute runtime, and battery-saving smart MessDetect Technology that automatically adjusts cleaning power and water flow based on dirt levels, so you can clean your whole home without interruption, and cut down on time-consuming refills and recharges. With an LED screen that complements cleaning, displaying mess detection and cleaning progress, you can stay informed as you go. Plus, maintenance is simple. When you’re done, place the unit on its dual self-cleaning and charging dock so it’s fresh and ready for the next use.
Optimize Kitchen Tasks
Smart technology is helping hectic households streamline cooking and cleaning tasks for fresher, more organized kitchens. Certain smart fridges feature internal cameras connected to an app. These allow you to view the contents of your fridge so you can meal plan from anywhere -- your workplace, the school pickup line, the grocery store -- before even walking in the door. They can also help you stay on top of lingering items, and avoid unpleasant leaks and odors in hard to reach spaces.
Today’s latest dishwashers are also saving parent-chefs time and energy on busy weekdays. Embedded AI technology detects how soiled a dish is and adjusts settings accordingly, eliminating the need for pre-rinsing. On the tail end of a cycle, AI is optimizing drying so that dishes come out of the machine ready to be stowed. The best part? These functions can be operated remotely. Using a connected smartphone to run the dishwasher, you can return home to clean dishes, giving you more time to help the kids with their homework, prepare dinner and relax.
Get Help, But Make it Fun
One of the best ways to manage messes is by recruiting the entire family to help. To make it fun, engaging and streamlined, use an app like Sweepy. In addition to organizing a cleaning schedule for you based on your availability, and helping you prioritize what tasks needs to be undertaken first, the app also gives you the option of gamifying household chores. Simply add household members to the app, assign them tasks to complete, and have them compete for a spot on the leaderboard, so that clean-up is something that kids will actually look forward to!
This back-to-school season, don’t let messes get the better of you. With new tools and smart strategies, you can tackle everything from grassstained sports uniforms to mountains of school clutter with ease.

How to Achieve Big Flavor That Wins All Football Season
(StatePoint) From backyard watch parties to stadium parking lots, fall weekends mean two things: football and BBQ. As you fire up the grill, remember that the secret to crowdpleasing smoky flavor is starting with the best fuel.
“Whether it’s pellets, chunks, chips or charcoal, the best wood creates the best fuel that helps you achieve a clean, consistent burn and smoky, authentic flavor,” says Levi Strayer of Bear Mountain BBQ.
Delivering big, bold wood-fired flavor on any grill, Bear Mountain BBQ is helping you kick off game day. Along with the Grill Dads, they are sharing this recipe for Smoked Pulled Pork. Sure to outshine any restaurant’s pulled pork, this one is smoked low and slow, using Bear Mountain’s Tailgating BBQ Blend wood pellets. It’s finished with a pro-level resting trick for maximum flavor.
Smoked Pulled Pork Ingredients:
• Two 7-9-pound pork shoulders (bone-in preferred)
• 4 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons coarse black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
• BBQ sauce, preferably with a strong apple cider vinegar base
1. Before lighting your grill, think about your wood. Use Bear Mountain Tailgating BBQ Blend for a sweet, smoky balance. This dynamic blend of oak, maple, hickory and cherry hardwoods has just enough complexity to make your pork sing without overpowering it.
2. Combine salt, pepper, garlic and ancho. Coat the shoulders heavily — pork can take a big and bold rub.
3. Set your pellet grill to 225 degrees F. Smoke until the internal temperature hits around 170 degrees F and the bark is dark, rich and firm to the touch. This takes several hours, but good bark shouldn’t be rushed. Every grill and every pork shoulder is different, resulting in drastically different cook times, so follow the internal temperature guidelines.
4. Wrap each shoulder tightly in foil

and return to the grill. Bump the temperature up to 275 degrees F. Cook until the meat is probetender — usually between 198–207 degrees F. You should feel zero resistance when probing.
5. Pull the pork off and let it rest (still wrapped) until it drops to ideal shredding temperature (145–155 degrees F). This step makes all the difference. Pro tip: Hold the pork (wrapped and whole) in a toaster or oven that goes down to 150 degrees F for up to 12 hours. It’ll just keep getting better. This is how the professionals do
it. You might want to make this the night before and hold until tailgate time.
6. Shred the pork by hand (with gloves if it’s hot). Add a splash of your favorite vinegar-forward BBQ sauce. Then, taste and season. You’ll likely need a decent pinch of salt to really make the flavors pop.
7. Pile the meat high on a soft roll, top with tangy mustard slaw and enjoy!
Adding a rich, smoky flavor to your playbook this football season is easy when you choose pellets made from premium, all-
natural wood that is free from fillers or binders. Bear Mountain BBQ’s winning line-up includes pellets, chunks, chips and charcoal, so no matter what you’re cooking or what type or brand of grill you use, you’ll have the best fuel to deliver the best flavor.
Bear Mountain’s Tailgating BBQ Blend is available at Lowe’s and other retailers nationwide.
This football season, turn up the heat and the team spirit with crowd-pleasing, smoky flavors that win every bite.

Avoid Fraud. Fraud and scams often spike after natural disasters, making it important to be wary of communications you receive. To help avoid scams, rely on information from trusted resources, such as your mortgage servicer, insurer or HUDcertified housing counselors,
and be aware of some of the most common postdisaster scams. These include high-interest loans and repairs, contractors asking for payments in advance of work and entities claiming to be disaster relief professionals requesting your sensitive information.
For disaster relief and mortgage assistance resources, which can help you recover after a disaster, check out My Home by Freddie Mac at myhome. freddiemac.com.
In the wake of a natural disaster, you don’t have to face recovery alone. Being proactive can get you on the road to recovery.
