Orthodontics for the Whole Family
Federal & State
Government Programs
For Mortgages
The
mortgage
industry has seen
some big changes in
the past two years.
While the mortgage
market was probably
too liberal a few years
ago, the real estate
correction has forced
banks to tighten up so
much, many qualified
buyers are finding
it difficult to get
financing. Our federal
and state governments
are offering mortgage
programs
and
tax
incentives
to
help
the
public.
Unfortunately, many
people are unaware
of the opportunities
available.
“It
seems
the
government programs
are changing every
day to encourage
people to buy a home,
or refinance to help
reduce their monthly
payment”,
states
George Hanzimanolis,
president of Bankers
First Mortgage in
Tannersville, PA. “We
are working with
every program out
there so our customers
can take advantage
of every opportunity
available. I encourage
every home buyer or
home owner to call us
and let us answer their
questions. I believe
they will be shocked
at what is available”.
“Low interest rates,
coupled
with
the
lowest home prices
in years are helping
buyers purchase a
home with very little
money down, and they
end up paying less
than they were paying
in rent.”

Orthodontic Treatment
Braces aren’t just
f o r k i d s a n y m o re .
Tooth alignment can
be changed at any
age if gums and bone
structure are healthy.
We offer a variety of
treatments that are designed for different
age groups including
adults. A new smile
can begin today.
Orthodontic treatment at later stages
in life can dramatically improve your
personal appearance
and self-esteem. Improving the health of
your gum and teeth
are equally important.
Crooked teeth and a
bad bite can contribute
to gum and bone loss,
tooth decay, abnormal
wear of the tooth enamel and surfaces, headaches and jaw joint
(TMJ/TMD) pain.
Good news! The
new techniques and
appliances we use
greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease
the frequency of visits, shorten treatment
time and may allow
you to choose from
several options. Your
options may include
metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that
can be worn at night to
improve mild cases of
misaligned teeth.

They say that “fengshui” (repositioning
items within a given
space) promotes a
healthy and prosperous lifestyle. However, we think that simply having a sewing
space is enough to
live a happy life, but
feel free to rearrange it
however you’d like.
Here at The Quilted
Crow, it certainly feels
like we’re practicing
feng-shui, as we have
been rearranging the
shop due to all of the

have another new collection called “Heart
and Home”. Check
these fabrics out on

Many of us have
jobs or life styles that
are very demanding;
we care for the grandchildren as well as our
parents, our jobs are
all about the numbers,
our toys are electronic.
In fact, some of us are
so tuned in to technology, that days go by
without any real human contact. We have
to be reminded not to
talk on our cell phones
or text while driving.
Kids are entertained
in the back seat with
iPads and iPhones,
videos and electronic games. Our minds
are occupied but what
about the rest of who
we are?
There is a saying,
“Stop and smell the
roses.” To me that
means, be sure to do
those things that feed
your soul. In your fast
paced life, make room
for those things that
calm you, bring you
joy, connect you to the
creation, and bring
you a sense of well being. That is what our
quilt shop is all about.
Stop by and see for
yourself.

While the type and
size of farming operations has changed
over the years, agriculture is still an import-
ant part of the Monroe County economy.
Many families have
actively farmed the
soils of this county for
over 100 years. At the
same time young families have returned to
the farm to raise crops
of corn and soybeans
as well as raise cattle,
sheep, goats and poultry. Many have joined
in the growing of
fruits and vegetables
to meet the ever expanding demand for

Consider Siding That
Better Protects A Home
From Weather
( N A P S A ) - Yo u r
home is probably the
biggest monetary investment you’ll ever
make, so it’s a good
idea to carefully discuss your house’s siding choices with your
home builder or remodeler.
For homeowners, in
particular,
nature’s
wild side-hurricanes,
high winds, heavy
rain, fire and floodcan be a big concern.
What’s more, that sort
of thing seems to be
on the upswing: According to Weather.
com, four of the top
five costliest hurricanes have occurred
since 2005, while Insure.com notes that six
of the top 10 costliest
wildfires have struck
in the last 10 years.
That’s why, if you’re
considering a home
building or remodeling project, it’s important to choose products
that best protect that
investment, including
the siding.

high school classes.
But, more importantly,
at SSPP School, you

Small class sizes allow
teachers to spend time
with their students,
treating each like their
own, nurturing them
and communicating
with their families
to share in their
education and bring
out the best in each
student.
In addition to their
regular
curriculum,
which exceeds state
standards, SS Peter and

and may be required
to take placement tests
in reading and math.
Students registering
for
Kindergarten
must be five years old
by October 15, 2014
and present a birth
certificate, baptismal
certificate,
and
immunization records.
A readiness screening
will be presented
to all prospective
Kindergarten
students.
Students registering
for Preschool must
be four years old by
October 15, 2014 and
present birth and
baptismal certificates.
Last year, SS Peter

sponsored which includes many benefits:
receipt of a Certificate of Sponsorship, a
map of the sugarbush
showing the location
of your tree, a pint of
our own pure maple
syrup and free admission for up to four
people to our Annual
Public Maple Sugaring Day on Saturday,
March 1, 2014. Sponsoring a maple tree
makes a great birthday
or Christmas gift.
This
fundraising
program, sponsored
by Monroe County
Conservation
District’s
Environmental Education Center,
helps offset costs for
the maple sugaring
educational program
that has benefited
students throughout
Monroe County for
over 30 years. The
Center always tries
to keep costs to the
students affordable,
but due to the overwhelming interest in
our program the expenses have increased.
