Workshop Is Fun But A Lot Of Work

Two Different Formats

Bradford Journal Photo Fifth grade students in Mrs. Cottillion’s classroom at School Street Elementary School were busy with a reading workshop, November 9th during our visit there. Working on their guided reading worksheets are (l-r) Holly Tsepelis 11, Mia McAndrew 10, and Sayge Bruno 11, all reading Esperanza Rising; and Bailee Fitzsimmons 10, reading Al Capone Does My Shirts, A Tale From Alcatraz. They tell us that the workshop is nice because it allows them to be with friends but it’s “like” work because they have to read a lot of pages.

Silent Reading From The Hallway Bench

We visited two fifth grade classes at School Street Elementary School this week. The first was Mrs. Baldwin’s class where she gives students fifteen minutes of easy reading before their language arts session begins each day, when the students concentrate more fully on English fluency. Students in Mrs. Cottillion’s class were busy at Reading Workshop where students are first guided in their reading through the use of worksheets, followed by discussions among groups of students regarding the various books included in the workshop……...The Bradford Journal Christmas Magic page begins with this edition (see page 11). Those businesses found on this special, sponsor the idea and have shown special interest in encouraging area residents to visit local area shops, businesses, and eating establishments during the upcoming holiday season. Included on the page are Little Fabric Garden, Timeless Treasures Gift Shop, Tasta Pizza of Bradford, and Tasta Pizza of Limestone, Bottorf Embroidery, Bradford Vet’s Club, How Ya Brewing, Cavallaro’s, John Williams European Pastry Shop, Dexter’s Service & Collision, and Burns & Burns Associates, Inc. ….…

Remember to sign up and/or show up for the 5K run/walk that will be held by the VFW Post #212 next Saturday, November 21st. Proceeds will be donated to various veteran’s causes, concentrating on those afflictions created by wars and actions that have taken place over the last fifteen years. The Post Commander, Ron Peters reminds our readers that the major problems today include high suicide rates, joblessness, and homelessness……..The Bradford Area High School will be the location for the “Fall Back in Love With Your Schools Open House to be held this Thursday, November 12th. Tours will be given of the High School, where there will be an introduction of the Bradford Area School District Foundation, the Bradford Area High School Alumni Association, and where the Community Involvement Committee chairperson will talk about the importance of involvement of the community in students’ education.……..We had an interesting experience on our return trip from Levittown, PA (just north of Philadelphia) this last weekend. We plugged our home address into the GPS and were told “Can’t Find Route”. We tried different cell phones and different GPS Apps but the answer was the same, “Can’t Find Route.” This was made more mysterious by the fact that the GPS could find routes into Buffalo, Jamestown, Coudersport, and Port Allegany. And while it was possible to find our way back with a regular map and a few questions asked at a gas station (just like the old days), it was quite disconcerting to see the statement “Can’t Find Route” as if Bradford no longer existed.

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “Keystone Turned Down” -by Bob Perry In an arrogant and defiant declaration, President Barrack Hussein Obama has put the issue of building the Keystone pipeline to rest for at least another 14 months. This has been one of the tools in the kit of issues politicians keep in abeyance only to surface whenever a distraction is needed or a polarization issue is needed to gain support, be it in general or on the specific subject.

The only reason the President has been involved in this decision in the first place has been that the pipeline crosses an international border. The timing is as a result of a deadline for all reports being received November 9th. If it had been me designing the pipeline I would have started the pipeline on the U.S. side of the border and have rail cars unload the oil into a depot which inserts it into the pipeline leaving the defiant Obama powerless. An addition to the pipeline crossing the border could be accomplished at another time.

It has been seven long years that the pipeline has been an issue with the declaration by Obama on the being pushed to the side many times citing reasons, usually without merit, a decision has to be delayed. Of course, the announcement was made on a Friday which is the day it would guarantee the least exposure. The Congressional approval of the project became a reality in January 2015 after the Republicans gained control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The vote count did result in insufficient support to override a veto by the President. The argument Obama had given numerous times was that the pipeline would be detrimental to the environment increasing climate change but last year the State Department released an 11 volume environmental review that the construction of the pipeline would NOT significantly increase the rate of planet-warming pollution into the atmosphere. There was a list of reasons that Obama gave to delay a decision including a law suit in a Nebraska court (resolved), reviews by the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Commerce, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Interior, and Department of Defense.

The reason Obama used was a declaration it was not in the best interest of the nation but wait until a major train derailment happens with casualties and major property damage and the reason becomes mute.

The rational on this decision by the

president is truly without using reality of what is happing and the actions being used increase the pollutants into the atmosphere by rail shipments along with adding $7 to $8 cost per barrel to the product over pipeline shipping to get it to the Gulf Coast. Who better to refine the oil than the refineries in the Gulf Coast. Clearly the decision is a defiant one with political overtones.

The reality is however that with a Republican President elect the Keystone Pipeline project will find new life and be approved.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Moving Soon? Keep Costs Under Control Even if you’re only moving across town, it’s likely to cost more than you think.

According to the latest figures from the American Moving and Storage Association, the average cost of an in-state professional move – based on 7,570 pounds of stuff – is $1,170. The average state-tostate move costs $5,630.

How can you control moving expenses?

Start making a master checklist to collect data and consider all costs and personal aspects of a potential move. You may even want to include a pro-and-con list that addresses all conceivable economic and lifestyle outcomes – the real long-term costs and benefits of a move. After deciding whether the move is worthwhile, consider these subsequent steps: Seek solid advisors. Whether or not you plan to sell a home with a licensed real estate broker or agent, most are open to do a market valuation of your property and suggest repairs or improvements that could maximize a sale price. If you use a qualified financial planner or tax advisor, include that individual in early discussions on how a move might affect your finances. Also, if you’re selling property, find an experienced real estate attorney to review broker and sale contracts.

Get multiple estimates from movers. An early walk-through at your home or apartment by two to three U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-registered movers (http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/hhg/search.asp) can provide a reality check on how much you’ll want to take and whether you can afford luxuries like packing or storage.

Online resources can also help you evaluate those estimates.

Watch for fraud. Recent news reports have highlighted a trend called “hostage load,” a practice whereby unscrupulous moving companies demand more money from customers before finishing a delivery. Getting references from trusted friends and advisors is a good first step to finding the right registered mover for your relocation. DOT has launched the “Protect Your Move” (http://www.fmcsa.dot. gov/protect-your-move) site that allows you to download a moving fraud protection guide and offers tips on proper ways to investigate and hire a mover.

Start downsizing – now. Getting early estimates from movers certainly helps you decide what you’re really willing to take.

If there are valuables you think you can sell, consult professional appraisers and even general marketplace sources like eBay to get a realistic idea of value. Otherwise, consider garage sales and donations for the rest.

-by Nathaniel Sillin Insure what you’re moving. Whatever Give yourself adequate time and resources plans you’re making for home or renter’s to plan all aspects of this major life and coverage at the new destination, make sure money event. you have proper coverage in place for the contents of your move. The Insurance Information Institute provides a useful guide (http://www.iii.org/article/getting-rightinsurance-coverage-moving) to properly insuring the possessions you’re moving.

Build a cash reserve for deposits, fees and incidentals. Keeping moving costs low can help you handle dozens of smaller and sometimes unexpected expenses that crop up immediately before, during and after a move. Budget for those hidden costs which can include deposits, fees and multiple trips to the discount store, home center or grocery.

Bottom line: Thinking about moving?

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Substance Abuse: What You Need To Know Now (NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about is constantly late for work or school, misses deadlines, alienates family, feels isolated, helpless or ashamed and uses alcohol, marijuana, opiates or other drugs— or misuses prescription medications—the problem may be a substance use disorder.

If so, it’s important to recognize that treatment can help you recover your ability to live a full life.

“Substance use disorder is not a moral flaw or personal failing. It is a complex brain illness—commonly associated with genetic and biological factors—that interferes with a person’s day-to-day ability to function,” said Martin Rosenzweig, M.D., senior medical director, Behavioral Solutions at Optum. “Unfortunately, the stigma associated with having a substance use disorder often deters people from seeking treatment.”

Young Adults at Risk According to Dr. Rosenzweig, teens and those in their early 20s are particularly vulnerable to struggling with substance use. That’s because their brains are still developing and they’re susceptible to peer pressure and partaking in risky behaviors.

The rate of substance use disorder among people ages 18 to 25 is twice that of adults 26 and older, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. More than one-third of the nation’s 35 million 18- to 25-year-olds reported binge drinking (generally defined as having five or more drinks on the same occasion) and roughly one-fifth reported using an illicit drug in the past month. Heroin use more than doubled among this age group in the past decade.

Parents should be alert to potential warning signs of substance use disorder among their children. Suddenly declining grades, peer group changes, moodiness, secretiveness and withdrawal from activities may be red flags.

Treatment Effective treatment for substance use

AICR HealthTalk

-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Why are more cancer treatment centers offering yoga programs?

A: Yoga is now among the recommended activities to improve quality of life during and after cancer treatment for some cancer survivors. Research is growing in support of physical benefits of exercise during and after cancer treatment, and while limited research shows such benefits with yoga, this probably varies with the amount and type of movement. According to clinical practice guidelines for breast cancer from the Society for Integrative Oncology, yoga has enough research supporting its use that it should be offered to breast cancer survivors seeking ways to decrease anxiety and improve mood.

Although research suggests that improvements in sleep quality and quality of life may be small, it may also be helpful for these purposes to some breast cancer survivors.

A randomized controlled trial published after release of these guidelines also indicates potential for yoga to decrease menopausal symptoms in women taking anti-estrogen medications and to reduce fatigue. Less research is available regarding yoga among survivors of other cancers, although some studies do report improvements in sleep and health-related quality of life.

Other forms of “meditative movement,” such as tai chi and qigong, could potentially offer similar benefits. Studies suggest that meditation, group programs in stress reduction, massage, music therapy, relaxation techniques and breathing exercises can also help address side effects faced by cancer survivors. Yoga includes a variety of forms; each may offer somewhat different benefits, and depending on physical limitations for an individual cancer survivor, some may be more appropriate than others. As with any plans for physical activity, cancer survivors may want to discuss interest in yoga, and potential for any recommended modifications, with their health care providers. disorders includes: • Medication • Individual and group counseling • Intensive outpatient treatment • Treatment in a live-in health care facility supervised by trained staff • Community-based support programs.

Treatment can occur in different settings. A person with a substance use disorder may not necessarily need medication or all the treatment services listed above.

“It is important to develop a support system to help avoid a relapse and promote long-term recovery,” said Dr. Rosenzweig. “Natural support systems such as family, friends and peers in your community can be involved in your recovery effort if you attend a local treatment clinic or center.”

Caregivers Face Own Health Risks When A Loved One Requires Constant Care Burden Often Falls On One Person, Causing Physical, Emotional And Financial Strains When a major illness or injury leaves someone in need of long-term, nearly round-the-clock care, it’s often up to a family member to step in and provide it.

But research shows that the role of caregiving can lead to its own health issues,

PennDOT Lowers Weight Restrictions On Bridge In McKean County (Bradford, PA) – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is notifying area drivers that posted weight limits on a Route 146 bridge in McKean County will be lowered, effective immediately. The bridge spans Potato Creek in Norwich Township, about one mile south of the village of Colegrove.

In February of 2014, PennDOT posted the bridge for 35 tons for single vehicles and 40 tons for combination vehicles. The weight restrictions have now been lowered to 23 tons for single vehicles and 27 tons for combination vehicles. The Colegrove Bridge was built in 1931, is 61 feet long, and carries an average of over 200 vehicles daily.

Reducing the weight traveling on the bridge will slow deterioration and preserve safety until repairs or replacement can occur.

creating a significant amount of stress and strain for the caregiver.

“That stress can come in many forms,” says Marylee MacDonald (www.maryleemacdonald.org), a caregiver advocate and writer whose debut novel, “Montpelier Tomorrow,” was inspired in part by her experience helping care for her son-inlaw.

“There is emotional stress, physical stress and even financial stress. Sometimes there’s also additional stress from the guilt that caregivers feel when they find themselves resenting the people they are caring for.”

A recent study by the AARP Public Policy Institute and the National Alliance for Caregiving revealed that 22 percent of caregivers felt their health had gotten worse because of caregiving.

“I don’t think that’s all that surprising,” MacDonald says. “If anything, it’s a wonder that the percentage isn’t higher.”

Other findings in the study included: • Nearly one in five caregivers (19 percent) reported a high level of physical strain resulting from caregiving, while 38 percent considered their caregiving situation to be emotionally stressful. Those percentages go up significantly for caregivers who provide 21 or more hours of care each week.

• When people feel that had no choice in taking on their caregiving role, the stress becomes even greater. More than half – 53 percent – of those people report high levels of emotional stress.

• Caring for a close relative causes more emotional stress than caring for another relative or a non-relative, with 45 percent of those caring for a spouse and 44 percent of those caring for a parent reporting emotional stress. That compares to 35 percent of those caring for another relative and 18 percent of those caring for a non-relative.

• Finances sometimes take a hit, with 18 percent of caregivers saying they experienced financial strain. Financial strain was more commonly reported by higher-hour caregivers.

“What often happens these days is that most of the burden falls to one person, with maybe other family members stepping in occasionally to provide respite care,” MacDonald says. “Some of that is because of the way society is today. We

don’t have three generations living within a few blocks of each other any more.”

MacDonald’s involvement in caregiving began when her son-in-law became afflicted with ALS and she put some of her own goals on hold to help her daughter.

“My son-in-law’s illness threatened my daughter’s happiness and I wanted to protect her,” MacDonald says. “I think that’s only natural. But it also made me aware of the strains that caregivers are under, and that in many cases there aren’t always good long-term institutional care options available. That puts the onus on family members.”

Depending on the situation, caregivers become responsible for any number of duties. They help the care recipient get in and out of bed and chairs. They deal with incontinence or diapers, help the recipient to and from the toilet, and assist with bathing or showering.

They also provide transportation, take care of grocery or other shopping, and do housework.

“People have their own lives to live, and not everyone wants to work without pay 24/7, for months or years on end,” MacDonald says. “That’s another reason why one person often has to take on the bulk of the responsibility alone.”

MacDonald says caregivers overwhelmed by the stress must make a concerted effort to find things that will bring happiness into their lives.

“Finding your bliss ranks high on the to-do list,” she says. “It’s not easy, but you always should be on the lookout for things that surprise you and bring you joy.”

FAMILY FEATURES

P

repare a fiesta this holiday season with side dishes inspired by the Latin kitchen for a lively alternative to your typical celebration.

Recipes that draw on regional ingredients, such as chili peppers, cilantro, yuca and quinoa, are a delicious way to amp up flavor and bring Latin American style to holiday spreads.

“These recipes are a change of pace to more traditional holiday menus and are also good for you with an average of only 125 calories per serving,” said Manuel Villacorta, an award-winning registered dietitian who developed CanolaInfo’s recipe collection. “The dishes have all the Latin flavors I love plus an extra measure of nutrition thanks to canola oil, which has a neutral taste to let other ingredients shine, and also contains the least saturated fat of all common vegetable oils.”

For more recipes and facts about cooking with canola oil, visit canolainfo.org.

Green Bean Saltado Servings: 4 2 tablespoons canola oil 8 ounces green beans, ends trimmed 2 medium red onions, cut into strips 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon aji amarillo (or mild chili) paste 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 teaspoons cumin 2 tomatoes, seeded, sliced into narrow strips 1/2 cup chopped cilantro In large saute pan or wok, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans and cook 5 minutes.

Add onion, garlic, paste, vinegar, soy sauce and cumin. Stir to combine. Cook 3-5 minutes or until onions are fragrant but still hold their shape.

Add tomatoes and cook 1-2 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and add cilantro.

Stir to combine. Serve warm.

Roasted Winter Veggies and Tri-Color Potatoes Servings: 10 1 1/2 pounds tri-color potatoes, quartered 1 pound Brussels sprouts, cut in half 1 large red bell pepper, coarsely chopped 1 medium red onion, coarsely chopped 2 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise and sliced 2 medium carrots, sliced 1/4 cup chopped rosemary 1/3 cup canola oil 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder Heat oven to 400 F. In large roasting pan, place vegetables. Add rosemary, canola oil, salt and garlic powder, and stir to combine. Cook about 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Quinoa Salad with Aji Amarillo Dressing

Fiesta Rice Servings: 16 8 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth 2 cups wild rice 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 medium white onion, chopped 1 cup diced red bell peppers 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup finely diced parsley In large saucepan, bring broth to boil, then stir in wild rice and salt. Reduce heat and simmer covered 40-45 minutes, or just until kernels puff open. Uncover and fluff with fork and simmer additional 5 minutes.

Drain excess liquid.

Place cooked rice in large serving bowl and set aside to cool.

In large saute pan, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 1-2 minutes or until translucent.

Add peppers, walnuts and raisins. Cook until lightly browned and fragrant. Add sauteed mixture and parsley to wild rice.

Stir to combine and serve warm.

Servings: 10 1 cup quinoa 2 cups vegetable broth Dressing: 1/4 cup canola oil 1 tablespoon aji amarillo (or mild chili) paste 1 cup whole cilantro leaves 1/4 cup lime juice 1 teaspoon salt Salad: 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen) 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup celery, chopped 1/2 cup red onion, diced Rinse quinoa well under cool water in fine sieve for several changes of water. Drain well. In large pot, boil vegetable broth and quinoa over medium heat. Reduce to simmer and cook quinoa until tender but still firm to bite, about 15 minutes. It’s done when germ separates, making it look like a curly Q. Drain well and return quinoa to pot off heat. Cover with tea towel and replace lid, allowing it to steam and fluff as it cools.

For dressing, add all ingredients to food processor and blend until smooth.

For salad, if using fresh peas, bring medium-size pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add peas and cook about 5 minutes. Strain and rinse with cold water to cool.

If using frozen, skip this step.

In large mixing bowl, combine cooled quinoa, peas, beans, celery, red onion and dressing. Mix until dressing is distributed evenly and serve.

Note: May be prepared one day ahead.
