And, at Bankers First Mortgage, their underwriting is more “common sense” than any of the local banks in our area. “Purchasing a home doesn’t have to be a difficult task”, states George Hanzimanolis, president of Bankers First Mortgage. “There are a number of buyers and sellers that would love to get together. Unfortunately, they may not know how to structure the purchase agree-ment to make the transaction flow easily.” According to Hanzimanolis, “There are so many little tips when buying or selling your home. The way the agreement is structured can save parties hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. I love working with buyers and helping them in the transaction. It makes everything run so much smoother, and my borrowers can get into a home with little or no money down, no closing costs, and even a credit for escrows.” “Generally, we look at three categories to qualify for a loan. The first category is credit. We can offer financing for credit scores as low as 600. The second category is down payment. We have programs with no money down, or as little as 3 1/2 % down. The third and final test is income. Our guidelines allow for cosigners and expanded debt to income ratios. As long as the loan makes sense, we should be able to help Mention this ad our clients”, states Mr. Hanzimanolis. “I encourage anyone interested in buying or selling a home to contact me before they even speak with their Realtor. I can advise you how to make the best of the home buying, or home selling process. Sellers are thankful when they speak with us in advance. While we do not own a real estate company, we know all of the Realtors in the area, and area happy to recommend a pro-fessional who will work to sell your home quickly. As for the buyers, we want to make sure you get the best possible scenario when purchasing that home.” Call Bankers First Mortgage today at 570-620-9561 or online at BankersFirst.com and request your free mortgage pre-approval package.

Once active orthodontic treatment is complete and your braces are removed, patients often think that this is the end of their orthodontic treatment. However, there is one final stage in orthodontics to ensure the longevity of your new smile. It is called retention. Retention is a passive treatment period where retainers are used to hold your teeth in the corrected position. Your retainer wear is a very important phase and is sometimes the most difficult stage in your orthodontic treatment Why Retainers? Summer Fun at Quiet Valley Farm 570-992-6161 • www.quietvalley.org Enjoy old-time crafts, games, farm animals, hiking & nature Preschool Program: Begins 4/29 Nature Explorers: K-2nd Gr. Farm Explorers: 3rd-5th Gr. Quiet Valley Explorers: Ages 11-14 process. If retainers aren’t worn as instructed by your orthodontist, your teeth will want to shift back into their original position. It is up to you to make sure this doesn’t happen. Retainer wear is considered to be a lifetime commitment to guarantee the stabil- ity of your treatment plan. The first two years of your retention phase are the most important.

Continued From Page 6 of our patients receive a removable acrylic retainer for the upper arch, and an essix (clear retainer) and a lower fixed retainer for the bottom arch. It is highly recommended that you wear your retainers at least 14 hours each day. Retainer care is also as important as retainer wear. Keeping them clean and handling them carefully are important for the longevity of the retainer, which can be costly to replace if you should lose or break them. Your teeth need time to adapt to the corrected position and by following through with your retention phase and wearing your retainers as instructed, you can keep your smile as healthy and beautiful as the day your braces were removed. To make an appointment or to answer any questions you may have, please call Kilareski Orthodontics at 570-421-0383 or 570839-7751. dietary needs.)

But if you think about it, it is the color scheme of the quilt that can really make or break a quilt. That is, bright colors can make even the dullest design interesting and will draw the eye towards it instead of any small mistakes you may have made. As for the type of fabric…as long as you purchase from The Quilted Crow, you won’t have to worry about the quality of the fabric. But since color is so important in a quilt, we’d like to help you out a little. It is easy to get lost in a shop full of so many color options and combinations that it can become overwhelming. So, when you’re first starting a quilt and trying to decide what colors you would like the quilt to be, you may want to visit colourlovers.com, which is a color palette generator. You can experiment by making your own color palette or choose from over a million color palettes already used. This will give you a better idea of what fabrics to look for in the shop and what colors will work well with each other. Happy coloring! The Quilted Crow is located at 179 Interchange Road, Lehighton, PA 18235. For more information, call 610-379-4700, email qcrow@ptd.net, or vis- it the website at www. The-QuiltedCrow.com.

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 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. Each angel, also comes with its’ very own explanation of the presence of Holy 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 to visit our website ( HYPERLINK “http:// w w w. s u z i e m . c o m / store.htm” www.suziem.com/store.htm) and click on the link (The Angel Poem) This poem was written by me after the recent natural disasters and shooting tragedies. I was so inspired by the many people who placed their lives on hold to help those in need. These people were angels on earth, they are real life angels of hope and I felt inspired to pay tribute to them in my poem which I recite…I’m sure you’ll enjoy! Is the Angel of Hope your miracle waiting to happen? We are so proud to say that the Angel of Hope can be purchased at Gift Design Galleries, an exquisite gift store in the Lehigh Valley Mall, Whitehall, PA and of course at Created-By-U Ceramics, Effort, PA.
