What Do Home Inspectors Look For?
(PART 1)
You’re currently waiting for the home inspector to go through your home.
While the entire house buying/selling process can be exciting, there’s an equal amount of stress that goes along with it.
Just like you prepared your home for open houses and showings, it’s important to have your home ready for the inspection, too.
Here are some tips to help make the home inspection process smoother with a little less worry once you know what an inspector will be looking for.
Interior
We’ll start with the home’s interior. An inspector will spend most of their time looking through all areas of the home, including attics, basements and crawl spaces.

Interior
We’ll start with the home’s interior. An inspector will spend most of their time looking through all areas of the home, including attics, basements and crawl spaces.
- Doors and windows: A home inspector will make sure your windows and doors are in working order. This includes that they open and close properly and don’t have damage or broken hardware. The inspector will also check to make sure the frames are secured and any glass is undamaged.
- Trim around doors, windows and baseboards: The inspector will check to make sure the wood trim is installed properly and in good condition throughout the home.
- Interior rooms: The inspector will want to make sure your walls are properly framed (and not leaning) and that there’s enough insulation. They will also check to make sure there are sufficient heating vents. A home inspector will also check the paint, wall coverings and paneling to make sure it’s in good condition.

Eggs Increase Risk of Heart Disease
The latest U.S. research on eggs won't go over easy for those who can't eat breakfast without them.
Adults who ate about 1 ½ eggs daily had a slightly higher risk of heart disease than those who ate no eggs. The study showed the more eggs, the greater the risk. The chances of dying early were also elevated.
The researchers say the culprit is cholesterol, found in egg yolks and other foods, including shellfish, dairy products and red meat. The study focused on eggs because they're among the most commonly eaten cholesterol-rich foods. They can still be part of a healthy diet, but in smaller quantities than many Americans have gotten used to, the researchers say.
U.S. dietary guidelines that eased limits on cholesterol have helped eggs make a comeback.
The study has limitations and contradicts recent research, but is likely to rekindle the long-standing debate about eggs.
The new results were published online Friday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
THE STUDY
Researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and elsewhere pooled results from six previous studies, analyzing data on almost 30,000 U.S. adults who self-reported daily food intake. Participants were followed for roughly 17 years, on average.
The researchers calculated that those who ate 300 milligrams of cholesterol daily — about 1 ½ eggs — were 17 percent more likely to develop heart disease than whose who didn't eat eggs.
The researchers based their conclusions on what participants said they ate at the start of each study. They took into account high blood pressure, smoking, obesity and other traits that could contribute to heart problems. Risks were found with eggs and cholesterol in general; a separate analysis was not done for every cholesterol-rich food.

Letter To The Editor........
I am a home-owner who lives within a mile of the Waste Management Grand Central Sanitary Landfill, Plainfield Township. I do not wish to diminish the claims of anyone else because I do not know their reality, so I cannot and will not speak for or about them.
The landfill provides approximately $65,000 each month to the borough of Pen Argyl, which helps to subsidize free trash pick up to all residents of the borough, allows the borough to keep a reserve fund that other municipalities are not able to build and helps keep taxes from being even higher.
Instead of working together for the good of the community, some residents of the Slate Belt, feel it necessary to constantly bash the landfill and individuals who work for WMGCSL. Some are quick to call the DEP hotline, which is not a problem in and of itself. But some residents do not call to report odors to WM.
DEP suggests also informing WM to as many details of the odor as possible. If odor was the true and only issue, wouldn’t the call to DEP be followed with a call to the WM reporting number? How is WM supposed to control odor if they are not aware of the scope, type, or other details of the reported odor? Reporting the issue to WM may help locate and mitigate a problem. WM has been, and continues to be, a good neighbor.
They have poured a lot of money into the community. Yes, they are required to. Yes, it is in their best interest as a business. But the reality is that benefits to the borough and the greater community exist. Those are indisputable facts, not opinion. Yes, at times the landfill smells. That is also a fact.
How bad would the odor be if the landfill were not required to follow the many rules and regulations for which it is now held accountable? Or if the landfill did not go above and beyond those rules and regulations? Or if WM did not invest in odor control research, technology and infrastructure? There are two sides to every coin. The reality of one does not negate the other.
It is my opinion, and the opinion of many others, that the odor of the landfill is worth the free trash pick-up and the money given to the community and the borough of Pen Argyl. The landfill, in some form, will be around for quite a while; however, the perks which come with it will not last forever.

Taking The War Out of the Warrior
Bangor’s Tom Menhennitt has written and published his first book “Taking The War Out of the Warrior,” which he will introduce at a launch party scheduled for 2:00pm March 31 at the Bangor Trust Brewery in downtown Bangor.
The book is “based on a chapter of my life when I was going through a separation with my wife, and then eventually a divorce,” he said. “I was filled with hate and anger and wanted to die. Through many experiences, it was exposed that I had some hidden truths to be unlocked . Through miracles and eye-opening experiences, my heart became softer and (I) learned to live a positive and happier life.”
He also has become an inspirational speaker which led to an unexpected interview with Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global
Menhennitt says that the public is invited to the launch party which will include a live artistic representation, music and lots of fun.

They've shared bills with acts such as Sierra Hull, Sarah Jaroz, Billy Strings & Don Julin, Della Mae, The Brothers Comatose, The Lil Smokies, Whiskey Shivers, Old Salt Union, The Lonely Heartstring Band, Willie Watson, Blind Boy Paxton and Michael Daves during their tenure as group and continue to perform for live audiences throughout the US. Sign up for the mailing list to catch the next show! "What a crack team of pickers and voices you have put together. Great dobro playing, world class harmonica. Damn it sure sounds fun with your city pickers at the microphone." - Ketch Secor / Old Crow Medicine Show

McFadden moved at age 10 from Brooklyn, NY to Hackettstown, NJ and lived near Union Cemetery. She became intrigued by a monument in the Cemetery.
The name and picture on the monument was of Tillie Smith, a 19 year old woman who “Died in Defense of Her Honor.” This haunted Maryann and she felt as if she was meant to write this novel, to give Tillie a voice. McFadden will have a question and answer session about her book and a Book signing. Copies will be available to purchase.
Luncheon, catered by Cafe ’on Broadway, will be at 12:00 pm (Doors open at 11:30 am) and will consist of soup, sandwich, chips, desserts and beverages. Tickets are $10 each and MUST be purchased in advance of the event. There will be no tickets available at the door.

Fine Policy For Kids
The Bangor Public library is happy to announce a new policy for kids to take responsibility for their own fines. Starting now if a junior patron (ages 15 years old or under) owes fines on their card only they may read their fines away. The junior patron will be required to read at the library in front of one of the staff members. Junior patrons will fill out a reading log; every half hour that they read will equal $1.00 off their fines. Fines can only be read off junior patron cards. The library believes that with this new policy junior patrons will learn responsibility as well as filling in the reading gap that so many kids face today. For more information please contact the library at 610-588-4136
