By Candy MartinIn early 2011, Doug

and Jen Serfass

contacted local realtorRon DeCesare,owner/broker of GreatAmerican Real Estate inWind Gap, to discuss

purchasing their firsthome.After meeting with

Ron and looking atmany properties theyselected the one theynow call home. Thehome was for sale as a"short sale" whichmeans a property that isfor sale at a lower pricethan what is actuallyowed on it. "Buying a

short sale home is a verytrying process. In ashort sale the lender

who holds the currentmortgage says that theywant to sell the prop-erty, however theiractions do not alwaysexpress the same idea.They usually are verydifficult to get to settle-ment for numerousreasons," says Ron.For Doug and Jen the

process of buying theirhome took nine tediousmonths. They encoun-tered many obstaclesalong the way and facedeach tirelessly to maketheir dream of home

ownership a reality.Doug, who proudlyserves our country in

the Air Force NationalGuard, received wordthat he would bedeployed to Afghani-stan before finalizingthe settlement of theirhome.At this point many

couples may have givenup. Jen continued on inthe pursuit of purchas-ing their home whileDoug was in Afghani-stan. Finally, in late

November the day ofsettlement arrived.When Doug returned

home in April of 2012

he brought a gift forRon, one that Ron neverexpected but is veryhonored to have. Doug

presented Ron with anAmerican flag that wasflown on a B-1BBomber on December20, 2011 during Opera-tion Enduring Freedom.Ron says, "When they

showed up at my officewith this gift I honestlywas taken back. Amidsteverything, they tho-ught of me. The flag andcertificate will be a

permanent display inmy office with muchgratitude. Doug and Jenare two very special

people and it was mypleasure to help themacquire their home.When asked the reason

for giving their realtorthis gift Doug replied,Purchasing our homeas a short sale was a

tiresome and stressfulprocess. If it had notbeen for Ron constantlyfighting for us the

purchase would havefallen through. Jen and Iwanted to show ourappreciation and for hisefforts we decidedflying a flag for him ona B-1B Bomber was

perfect!Today, Doug and Jen

Serfass are happilysettled into their homein Roseto and lookforward to many yearsthere.

Flowering Shrubs In Containers Bring Easy Elegance To A Garden( N A P S I ) M a n y

believe containergardening is the new

way to grow: Its a fun,easy way to add colorand bold seasonal inter-

est to any size garden.Planting flowers andtropical plants incontainers every yearcan become costly, butits easy to minimize theexpense by mixing insome shrubs.Every garden can

benefit from the morepermanent, year-roundbeauty of floweringshrubs in containers. Itseasy and rewarding todo, as long as thegardener follows a fewsimple guidelines.

Choosing a locationfor a potted shrub is thefirst step, as this willdictate what you cangrow.Locations with easy

access to water and outof the path of highwinds are best, andsome sun is imperativefor shrubs.Roses, butterfly bush

and lilac need at leastsix hours of uninter-rupted sunlight daily;hydrangeas, azaleas andweigela will benefit

from some shade duringthe hottest part of theday, especially in warmclimates.Your local garden

center is the best placeto shop for plants. Tohelp narrow yourchoices, consider howtall youd like yourshrub to be and whatyoud like it to contrib-ute to your garden.Low-growing shrubs,such as OSO Easy rosesand Lo & Behold

butterfly bushes, offervivid color at eye level,while taller shrubs likeFine Line buckthornand Black Lace elder-

berry add dramaticheight and create

privacy.To make sure your newshrub will survive thewinter in your area,choose a variety thattolerates temperaturesat least one zone colderthan the zone you live in(visit provenwinners.com to findyour hardiness zone).The container you

choose must be largeenough to accommo-date your shrub.Look for sturdy pots

that are at least 18across and 16 tall to

allow enough room for

the plant to grow; largeris preferable. Thecontainer must haveseveral open drainageholes in the bottom.Since your potted shrubwill remain outdoorsyear-round, look forfrostproof or weather-

proof containers if youlive in a cold climate.Fill your container

with potting soil. Do notuse garden soil or topsoil, which may hinderdrainage.Avoid putting anything

in the bottom of the potto take up space, as theweight of soil createsstability and the shrubsroots will need theroom.

Fill the pot to within 2of the top, tamping soildown gently to preventsettling later.Make a well in the

center of the pot toaccommodate the new

plant. Remove the shrubfrom its pot (rap on itssides to dislodge it),gently untangle anyvisible root, and place itin the hole.For a complete selec-

tion of colorful hardyshrubs and tips on careand container design,visit www.proven

Take Dinner Outdoors With An Easy Summer Picnic

(NAPSI)As theweather heats up,

picnics offer the perfectoutdoor activity forfamily, friends andfoodies alike.A meal under the sun

provides a picturesquesetting to impress lovedones with an on-the-gogourmet feast whilemaking the most of yourtime outdoors.Any picnic pro knows

that a great mealincludes seasonal, easydishes that celebrate theseason without causingextra work or hassle.For many, packing

food for travel andanticipating the heat can

put limitations on picnicdishes. Chef EdwardLeonard, CertifiedMaster Chef and LeCordon Bleu executivechef, offers his own

picnic pointers to helpanyone create the

perfect alfresco meal.Everyone loves a

picnic, but eating thestandard sandwich cantake the excitement outof it, said Chef Leon-

ard. To make the mostof your picnic experi-ence, its essential tothink about featuringseasonal foods thatcelebrate summer.Le Cordon Bleu chef

instructors suggestkeeping your meal lightwith plenty of saladsand fruit.The chefs recommend

making a watermelonand feta salad or creat-ing an heirloom tomatosalad with fresh herbslike basil or sage.For protein, focus on

meats that are cookedslowly at a lowtemperature becausethey tend to keep well.Try cold pulled pork or

roast beef. When itcomes to side dishes,consider cultured,

pasteurized ingredients- like sour cream orGreek yogurt - for the

base of any sauces.This will eliminate any

issues with using egg-based products that cango bad in the heat.Visit www.chefs.edu

Take The Sting Out Of Summer Driving(NAPSI)The cost ofgoing on a vacation orroad trip may pinch yourwallet as gas prices are

projected to continue torise, according to theU.S. Energy Informa-tion Administration.While you may be able

to adjust your travelplans with shorter tripsthat are closer to home,one way to take the stingout of the cost ofsummer travel is tomake sure your vehicle

is road ready and useproducts that willimprove your gas mile-age and save you moneyon maintenance costs.Simple steps like

checking your tirepressure and getting atune-up will improveyour gas mileage. Upgrade your fluids.

Not all motor oils are thesame, and many peopledont know how toselect motor oil that willhelp them get optimum

performance out of theircar.

Upgrading yourvehicles lubricants isoften the quickest andcheapest way toimprove your cars

performance and

reliability. Improvedlubrication with

premium syntheticmotor oil like RoyalPurple frequently trans-lates into improved gasmileage.Individual results will

vary, but numerousconsumers have seen asmuch as a 5 percentincrease in fueleconomy by upgradinglubricants.The switch to synthetic

can save you in another

way. The number ofmiles between oilchanges can often bedoubled or even tripled.Extended service inter-vals, sometimes as muchas 12,000 miles betweenoil changes, keepvehicles out of the shopand save consumersmoney. Watch your tire

pressure. Tires are massproduced for a variety ofvehicles, so inflatingyour tires to the numberon the outside wall ofthe tire is not sufficient.

Check to see what yourmanufacturer recom-mends.According to the U.S.

Department of Energy,keeping your tires

inflated at the correctpressure can result ingasoline savings up to12 cents a gallon.

Check your oxygensensor. Have yourmechanic check youroxygen sensor at eachtune-up. Oxygen sensors

play an important role in

your engines perfor-mance and in reducing

pollution.Depending on the age

of your vehicle, oxygensensors should bechecked and replaced ifneeded from 30,000100,000 miles. Keepingthe oxygen sensor freshmay improve fueleconomy as much as 1015 percent.Whether youre hitting

the road this summer ona trip or daily driving,making sure yourvehicle is ready for theroad can mean savingseven if youre payingmore at the pump.For more information,

Put Your Old Car On The Road To Giving And Getting

You can do well and do good by donatingyour old car to charity.

(NAPSI)The nexttime you find yourselfstuck with an old vehiclethat barely runsordoesnt even run atallyou may besurprised at just how farthat car can go.If you donate it to a

charitable organization,you can help others, helpthe environment andhelp yourself to a taxdeduction.Donating a car can

generate enough cash to: Supply a months

worth of food for afamily of five, Provide more than

two years worth ofgeneric drugs to a seniorcitizen, Support education,

medical research andyouth programs, Help rescue animals

from neglect and abuse.Besides the good

feeling you get fromhelping others, you can

benefit in another way.Because donatedvehicles qualify as chari-table gifts, you may beeligible for a tax deduc-tion. If your vehicle sellsfor less than $500, youcan claim up to $499. Ifit sells for more than$500, you can deduct theactual sale price.Most vehicle donation

programs provide fullservice, including free

pickup coordination,processing of the paper-work and sending youcompleted tax forms.Recycling the metal

from old vehicles savesenergy, conserves natu-ral resources andreduces the pollutionthat can come from steel

production. Accordingto the Institute of ScrapRecycling Industries,recycling one carconserves 2,500 poundsof iron ore, 1,400

pounds of coal and 120pounds of limestone.

Thanks to the salvageauction industry, thenation sees significantenergy and environmen-tal savings by recyclingold materials, such asaluminum and steel,rather than relying oncreating those materialsfrom scratch and using

precious resources fromthe environment.Annually, more than

1.7 million tons of steeland more than 268,000tons of aluminum arerecycled. This elimi-

nates the need to manu-facture such metals andtranslates to a reductionin landfill space in oneyear that would equal all31 NFL football stadi-ums filled 12 feet deep.Surprisingly, although

vehicle donationprograms have beenaround for years, many

people dont know muchabout them or how easyit can be to donate.

Nearly three out of fourAmericans made chari-table contributions in the

last five years. Sixty-nine percent donatedcash, 67 percent donatedused goods and 47

percent donated time.Only 6 percent donated aused vehicle. In fact,four in 10 respondentssaid they were lackingthe information andunderstanding of theoverall benefits and

process of vehicle dona-tion.A national vehicle

donation program calledOne Car One Differencewas launched to helpdispel common misper-ceptions about the valueand ease of vehicledonation.For more information

The Beginning of theMotor CarKarl Benz is credited

with the invention of thefirst Automobile in 1885

but many other inven-tors were working on theHorseless Carriage ataround or even earlier atthe same time scale.Among other items

Karl Benz invented forhis first production carwere the carburetor, theaccelerator, the spark

plug, the clutch, the gearshift, and finally the

radiator to keep theengine cool whichallowed him to sell

production cars in 1888,in the beginning his carswere 3 wheelers but ashe continued refininghis design the first 4wheel car appeared in1893.But for the next few

years the car was stillhand built and only

available to the very richbut in 1908 Henry Fordchanged everything bymaking the car afford-able to a much wideraudience ( The MiddleClass ) through the usemass production onassembly lines, thismeant the people build-ing the cars did not haveto be as highly skilledengineers or craftsmanas each man worked ona specific area of the car.

The car that created thiswas the Ford Model Tand by 1910 12,000Model T's had beenmade and sold and theycould not keep up withdemand. To help withsaving money on

production most ModelT's were only made in

black but some othercolours were used occa-sionally.
