Merchants Bank has received an Outstanding rating, the highest possible rating, on their most recent Community Reinvestment Act exam from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), enacted by Congress in 1977, encourages depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate. According to the FFIEC website: The CRA requires the federal financial institution supervisory agencies, in connection with their examinations of certain depository institutions, to assess the institutions' performance. A financial institution's performance in helping to meet the credit needs of its community is evaluated in the context of information about the institution (capacity, constraints and business strategies), its community (demographic and economic data, lending, investment, and service opportunities), and its competitors and peers. Upon completion of a CRA examination, an overall CRA Rating is assigned using a fourtiered rating system. These ratings are: Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve, and Substantial Noncompliance.

Proud of the Banks latest rating, Anthony Biondi, Chief Executive Officer of Merchants Bank, commented, With very few banks with this elite rating, this is the first Outstanding rating we received since my tenure here and I suspect that it may be our first ever. I applaud the Merchants Bank team for a job well done and for harmoniously aligning our business strategy as a Community Bank with the needs of the local community. Along with lending practices, loan-todeposit ratios and investments and services, the FFIEC also evaluates the qualified philanthropic activities the bank, including employees volunteer hours for qualified organizations. In 2012, Merchants Bank employees volunteered 1020 hours to CRAeligible organizations and programs and are on pace to beat that statistic for 2013. For an organization with less than 100 employees, we are very impressed by the volunteer efforts of our employees. These hours do not even reflect the volunteer time to organizations and projects that do not qualify under CRA, said Richard Hotchkiss, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Bank management

estimates that employees donate over 2,000 hours of their time every year to not-for-profits. As further evidence of their community support, Merchants Bank won two volunteer awards this year: Greater Lehigh Valley of Chamber of Commerces The Spirit of Forks Award as well as the Volunteer Center of the Lehigh Valleys Spirit of Volunteerism Award. Videos about the Banks activities to win these awards can be accessed here: Spirit of Forks and Spirit of Volunteerism. For more information on CRA ratings, please visit the FFIEC website at: http://www.ffiec.gov/cr aratings/ratings_faq.ht m. Established in 1890, Merchants Bank is a locally owned and operated community bank. Headquartered in Bangor, PA, Merchants has two branch offices in Bangor and additional offices throughout the Lehigh Valley, including Mount Bethel, Wind Gap, Nazareth, Forks Township, Martins Creek, Easton and Bethlehem, PA. MNB Investment Services is a division of the bank and offers investment and wealth management financial services. For more information, please visit www.merchantsbangor. com.

Nine small business owners in Small Business Majoritys network joined President Obama at the White House today to discuss the Affordable Care Act and its impact on small businesses and the economy. Small business owners traveled from eight statesColorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginiato stand alongside other small employers, business leaders, elected officials and advocates as the president talked about the impact the new health insurance marketplaces will have on small businesses and the self-employed. On the day the New Mexico Healthcare Insurance Exchange went live I went online, expecting a frustratingly long mess of

enrollment tasks, said Michael Cadigan, an attorney from Albuquerque who took time away from running his small law practice to attend the event. I was pleasantly surprised that it took me about 15 minutes to sign my firm up for the program. Based on the estimate I received, Ill be able to provide excellent, flexible coverage to my employees with a savings of more than $1,000 per month for my firm. Each employee was able to choose a plan that fit their needs, which is a change from our old one-size-fits-all plan. Last week, it was announced that the online portion of the federal small business marketplace through Healthcare.gov will be delayed a year. But until the online portion is up and running, small businesses will be able

to purchase insurance through it exactly as they do now in the outside market. The new marketplaces can still offer the most competitive combination of price and quality for small businesses purchasing health insurance, said Rhett Buttle, VP of External Affairs for Small Business Majority, who also attended the event. We know from our opinion polling that two-thirds of small business owners would use the marketplace or at least consider using it, compared to a mere eight percent who say they would not. Its important we continue educating small employers about the alternative pathways for enrolling in the marketplace so they have the opportunity to find more affordable health coverage.

Hello fellow readers, Since my recent admission several of you have fessed up that you have yet to cut back your perennials. Glad I am not the only one! And it is true that leaving seed heads on your dormant perennials over winter will encourage many of your plants to spread. John from Bangor and Terri from Frelinghuysen asked if there is a way to encourage self-seeding. If you want to foster seedlings, don't deadhead, don't use Preen (weed preventer), and don't mulch heavily (yay- another reason not to mulch). Giving your seeds a hand selfseeding is a bit of an oxymoron; a quirky word for an expression using words with opposite meanings. Nonetheless I am all for helping good things along. I've found that self-seeding occurs best in soil with a loose or crumbly surface. Before the ground freezes you can scratch the surface with a garden rake and broadcast seeds or

simply lay the deadheads on the naked soil and let Mother Nature do her part. It is also fun to collect seeds and start your own plants come spring. But leave some if you dont mind. Even if you arent particularly interested in encouraging selfseeding, birds will be grateful if you leave your dry flower heads. There are oodles of flowers that produce seeds to tempt birds. A few popular ones include: Asters, Blackeyed Susans, Coneflowers, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Daisies, Goldenrods, Marigolds, Sedums, Sunflowers and Zinnias. Theres a nifty fact sheet published and online by Minnesota based Dundee Nursery which provides tips to keep plants looking their best listed by botanical and common names. It includes if deadheading the plant during the growing season will encourage re-blooming, if letting seed heads remain will encourage spreading, , and what plants provide winter interest. Busted! Some of my dormant plants neither are particularly good self-seeders nor considered interesting in the winter. Good thing beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are hungry birds to feed. Rationalization rocks! Garden dilemmas? askmarystone.com

(NAPSI)Ah, the holidays! Theyre a time filled with family, friends, large parties and the inevitable holiday entertaining stress. While more guests and big holiday meals can put a serious strain on a homes plumbing system, a plumbing emergency should be the last thing you need to worry about during a festive gathering. Did you know that the day after Thanksgiving is the single busiest day of the year for Roto-Rooters residential plumbers? North Americas No. 1 plumbing repair and drain service company sees, on average, a 47 percent increase in incoming calls on that day compared to an average Friday. This holiday season, avoid embarrassing overflow disasters and flushing money down the drain by following these tips to help keep your bathroom pipes flowing properly and freely. 1. Dont be a victim of the lingering flush: Do you hear water running in your toilet tank for an extended time after a flush? If so, then your toilet may be leaking and wasting up to 200 gallons of water daily! Stop jiggling the handle and pick up the phone for a professional, like your local Roto-Rooter plumber. 2. The secrets in the TP: Use the appropriate amount of toilet paper. Charmins reengineered design allows for easier breakdown of toilet tissue, giving your bathroom pipes a break so you can truly enjoy the go. 3. Dont plunge your life away: If a toilet requires plunging on a

regular basis, this could mean there is an obstruction down the drainpipe. It may even be a symptom of a bigger problem farther down the sewer line. Have someone take a look. 4. Toilets do not get better with age: If your toilet was made before 1994, it is probably costing you a fortune in water and its time for an upgrade. Newer toilets use only 1.6 gallons per flush and the newest low-flow designs provide the same amount of flushing power as old 3.5gallon models. An efficient, new toilet will conserve water and save you money month after month. 5. Dont let the outside in: Be sure to disconnect outside water hoses. If left connected, water in the hoses can freeze and expand, causing faucets and connecting pipes inside your home to freeze and break. If you are experiencing any of the problems listed above, please v i s i t www.RotoRooter.com or call (800) ROTO-911 [(800) 768-6911].

(NAPSI)The family entertainment network INSP has expanded its commitment to veterans by partnering with the congressionally chartered United States of

America Vietnam War Commemoration and by providing the networks video, entitled Thank You For Your Service, an homage to Vietnam Veterans.

The video, part of INSPs critically acclaimed Moments series, is being presented throughout the country by the Commemoration to thank and honor Vietnam Veterans and their families. In recognition, the official commemoration flag and certificate, signed by the Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were presented to INSP Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Cerullo during a ceremony held by the Commemoration. I have had the privilege of playing this video for thousands of people around the country. This stirring tribute never fails to inspire deep emotions. It has helped bring healing and encouragement to true

patriots, many of whom have felt taken for granted and ignored, says Lieutenant General Claude Mick Kicklighter, United States Army (Retired). Cerullo accepted the flag and certificate, saying, It is gratifying to know that Thank You For Your Service has touched so many lives. The video has been featured on the Pentagon Channel, USAAs Web channels, and at several national conventions, including those of the American Legion and the Vietnam Veterans of America. INSP is producing another veteran series entitled Moments of Valor, in partnership with the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. We have pledged to continue this campaign to honor our veterans,

Cerullo said. As part of our work with The Vietnam War Commemoration Committee, INSP is donating 1,000 specially designed videos of Thank You For Your Service to veterans. We hope that this small gesture will have a lasting impact. Moments is an INSP original, inspirational, award-winning video series that celebrates uplifting stories of hope. The videos air as a public service throughout the day on INSP. They are also available on a special website, www.moments.org. INSP is available in more than 75 million households across the U.S. Viewers can find INSP channel information by visiting www.insp.com/inspchannel-finder/.

The E-ZPass Group has entered into an agreement with OmniAir Certification Services Inc. (OCS) to develop an independent third-party certification program for the communication protocol used by the E-ZPass equipment. Work is starting now, and the program will be complete by the end of this year. Having this certification program is important because: There is a huge push

for interoperability between the various toll systems around the country by 2016. Many systems today use different technologies that cannot communicate with one another. Not all equipment using a certain technology performs at the same levels. Having a certification process in place will allow independent verification that a manufacturer's equipment not only performs in accordance with the published communication standard, but also meets E-ZPass performance criteria. Ensures the toll road customers continue to receive convenient top notch travel experience they have become accustomed to. E-ZPass Group Executive Director PJ Wilkins says "This effort will ensure

that equipment used by toll agencies is compatible with our own, and we can be confident that it will perform at the high level expected by our customers." How it will work: The IAG uses an "open" technology that can be manufactured by many different companies. Equipment manufacturers will now have a readily available process for getting their equipment "certified" as being in compliance with the published standard, as

well as meeting the performance criteria established by the IAG. This leads to improved competition, and potential for reduced costs. Suzanne Murtha, Interim Executive Director of OmniAir Certification Services offered "Using independently evaluated testing techniques that have industry support and consensus is key to the continued improvement of efficiency in tolling and transportation systems."
