Affordable Care Act
If you are one of the over 3.6 million Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers without health insurance, then you should be aware that a new online health insurance exchange or marketplace is scheduled to open October 1 for coverage effective January 1, 2014.
The exchange, a part of the Affordable Care Act, will allow people to go online and shop from an assortment of government-approved health insurance plans. Also, it will match them with tax credits to make the coverage affordable. It's open to people who don't have access to a qualified plan at work.
The tax credits are available for a single person earning just under $16,000 up to a family of four with an income of about $94,000. The amount of the tax credit will vary by income and would be forwarded directly to their health insurance plan, with the process handled by the exchange.
Governor Tom Corbett has chosen to use the federal health insurance exchange site for Pennsylvania’s online marketplace at HealthCare.gov. In New York State insurance seekers may go to www.nystateofhealth.ny.gov.
Small businesses will also be able to shop for coverage on the exchange, which is intended to allow them to enjoy size-related savings previously available only to large companies

Misty Pine Rentals Featured In The Keystone Edge
A local business is featured in The Keystone Edge
http://www.keystoneedge.com
Mark and Evelyn Keiter told a similar story about Misty Pines, a cabin rental they started in neighboring Cameron County a few years ago after Mark got laid off from a good job as a foreman in a steel mill in southeastern PA.
“After visiting relatives in the area, seeing the elk for ourselves and reading the Fermata report we decided this was the area we wanted to live in,” Evelyn Keiter explained recently by email. “We knew we wanted to be in the hospitality business and saw that there was a need for it. … We pulled up stakes, sold our home and business and moved to Cameron County to escape the rat race ... This was a scary undertaking but we were ready for a big change.”
The Keiters bought 40 acres with a scenic view and transformed an abandoned house on the property into two rental suites complete with private entrances, hardwood flooring and new appliances.
“With a lot of hard work, vision and hope, we turned that abandoned house into something special,” Keiter said. “As of September 5th we will have been open for five years, I almost can't believe it. The time has gone so quickly and we have met so many nice people.
“Often local people will ask us "’Why did you move here?’” Keiter said. “The one word answer would be ELK. Maybe if someone has never lived anywhere else they don't appreciate the beauty and excitement that's right outside their back door here in the PA Wilds but we are loving it. The possibility of seeing an elk or bear in our everyday travels does not grow old. Knowing that we are sharing our home with the majestic elk puts the "wild" in PA Wilds for us. We love being able to provide a quality place for people to stay while they are experiencing a glimpse of where we get to live every day. … There are so many other things to do and see in the area but the elk are the number one draw.”

James J. Chmelar
James J. Chmelar, 55, of Leander, TX (formerly Emporium, PA) passed away at his home on August 29, 2013, after a 2 year battle with Glioblastoma (brain cancer). Jim was a kind, loving, and compassionate man.
Jim was born on September 22, 1957 in St. Mary’s, PA, son of the late Leopold and JoAnn (Barr) Chmelar. He was a 1975 graduate of Cameron County High School and held numerous degrees such as Bachelor degrees in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and Fire Science from Empire State University. Jim also served as a deputy sheriff in Cameron County, as well as volunteering 20+ years in both the fire and ambulance departments as a fire fighter/EMT.
Jim has spent the majority of his career as a Quality Engineer, and in the oil industry. His work took him to far flung reaches of the globe including China, Romania, and Russia. In more recent years, since Jim’s relocation to Texas, he has been most well known as a doting grandfather, and even earned the title of “The Best Tickler in the West”. Jim worshiped at Living Water Lutheran Church, where he has an even larger “Family” who has shared love and support over the past several years. Jim’s greatest joy in life was loving and taking care of his family, listening to music, playing the guitar, and giving the best bear hugs.
Jim is survived by his deeply beloved wife, Lisa B. Chmelar, his son, Leo McDowell- Chmelar, who he cherished, a sister, Vicki Wenner and husband Jim of Emporium, two brothers, Mike Chmelar of Emporium, and Joseph “Skeeter” Chmelar and wife Yvette of St. Mary’s, his step daughters, Sarah Teale and husband, Maca and Katie Ryan and husband, Joe, both from Leander, TX. Jim also had 4 grandchildren, Louis, Nole, Taylor, and Brodie, all from Leander, TX, and several nieces and nephews. Preceding Jim in death besides his parents is a brother, Bob Chmelar.
To honor Jim, a Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, September 14, 2013, at 11:00 am at the St. John’s Lutheran Church, with the Rev. Bruce Burkness as celebrant.
According to what we believe would be Jim’s wishes, the family request that in lieu of flowers, donations are made to his son, Leo McDowell –Chmelar’s education fund. Donations can be made to the Jim Chmelar Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank-MAC, T7009-010, 920 N. Lakeline Blvd., Cedar Park, TX 78613 or to a charity of the donor’s choice
