Truly an Easter Angel The Angel of Hope She is simply the most precious angel you will ever own, and unlike any angel you have ever had. Why? She is created in the mold with a single drop of Holy Water from Lourdes. Many years ago I received a beautiful bottle of Holy Water from Lourdes. I had wondered some 15 years later how I could use this Holy Water to give Hope to everyone. Hope, just a 4 letter word but it can change lives. With so much negative in today’s world and the uncertainty we are living through as to what tomorrow might bring I feel the world needs hope. I decided to take a small very plain, but eloquent angel mold Water, and is gift boxed …making it a wonderful gift to give to those we love, and those in need of a miracle. Please take the time and as I would pour the mold, I would add a drop of Holy Water from Lourdes. In my heart I can honestly tell you the idea was born here at Created-By-U Ceramics in Effort, PA. The Angel of Hope has become the symbol of our store, being hand painted on the premises she is by far awe-inspiring.

Page 10 FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, April 11, 2014 Has Purchasing A Home Finally Gotten Easier? By Russell Pinsley Experts continue to tell us the combination of low interest rates and the lowest home prices in years has created the perfect home buying opportunity. However, lenders have tightened lending guidelines so much, obtaining a mortgage has been the biggest challenge. There is evidence that the tougher mortgage market is starting to loosen up. Some lenders are starting to offer mortgage programs to help potential borrowers get mortgages, even with some past credit or income issues. Bankers First Mort- gage in Tannersville has introduced a new mortgage program for first time home buyers. A first time buyer is defined as someone who has not owned a home in the past 3 years. George Hanzimanolis, President of Bankers First Mortage, states, “We recognize a large part of the potential housing market is the first time buyer with limited or less-than-perfect credit. Often, they have a small down payment, but cannot afford closing costs or money for escrows. We offer a mortgage program that uses common-sense underwriting, A first time buyer can now purchase a home with a small down payment, finance closing costs, and we will even give them a credit to pay some or all of the FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, April 11, 2014 Page 11 tax escrows.” This program has proven to be very popular among realtors and financial planners who recommend Bankers First Mortgage to their clients. Realtors have complained the banks have gotten so difficult to work with, but professional mortgage companies like Ban-kers First Mortgage have become a popular and important source for mortgage fin-ancing. “Credit issues can make it difficult when applying for a mortgage”, states Mr. Hanzimanolis. “Our underwriters understand people make mistakes, and if it makes sense, those same people should be given another chance.” Bankers First Mort-gage can accept credit scores as low as 600, whereas most local banks require scores above 680 or even 700. If you are considering purchasing a home, now may be 800.B.A.DONOR the time. Bankers First Mort-gage is located on Route 611 in Tanners-ville. They can be reached a 570-620-9561 or visit their website at www. bankersfirst.com.

Some tankless units, such as those manufactured by Rinnai, allow homeowners to save up to 400 percent on energy bills. Rinnai tankless water heaters give homeowners the flexibility of on-demand hot water whenever they need it. Because the water is heated as needed, there’s always enough for hot showers, baths, laundry and dishwashing - even if these are done simultaneously.
