We stopped in at both the art room and the music room at GGB Elementary School, Monday, November 6th and walked away with some nice photo editorial material for the pages of this week’s Bradford Journal. In the art room, long term substitute Janelle Gilmore explained to the first-grade students from Mrs. Lohrman’s classroom that their project for the day was to make a bat. And while the project worked out well, with children able to complete it during the class period, we found another aspect of our visit there to be equally as interesting. These young students when asked, knew a lot about bats: For example, they knew that bats are nocturnal, eat insects, hang upside down, get into peoples’ houses, and while they don’t see too well they have excellent hearing. One student even brought it to our attention that bats don’t soar like birds but must continue to flap their wings to remain aloft. We thought this was a lot of information for the 6-year-old students to know, in fact I’m not sure we knew that these scary little creatures existed when we were six……..Next we stopped at the music room for the last 5 minutes of the class period where long time general music teacher Rebecca Ruckdeschel was leading students from Mrs. Sheeley’s first-grade class room in “The Library Song,” followed by a quick session on rhythm. Here the students alternatively created a rhythm by clapping their hands, and the other students in the class attempted to repeat it……..Veteran’s day ceremonies will take place in Veterans’ Square, Bradford, this Saturday, November 11th. The Bradford American Legion Post #108, will once again conduct the ceremonies, complete with a 21-gun Honor Guard salute, laying of wreaths in honor of each branch of the armed services, along with the speeches and music to complement it all…….. Fireworks and light shows have always been a part of the New Year’s Eve celebration. The bright lights and loud noises accompanying the countdown seems to emphatically punctuate and give corporeal closure of the year, clearly separating it from the next. Recently our Bradford City Council passed a law that effectively limits such traditional festivity in Bradford. The only display of fireworks allowed, within the winter weather accessible areas of the City, must be of the type known as “close proximity” displays, and these are very expensive. What First Night Bradford needs now is a hero who will provide the funding to allow for the continuation of an age old tradition.
It’s A Matter Of Opinion... Guest Columnist “The SALT Assault” The proposed partisan Republican House tax plan starts off with an assault on the SALT (State And Local Tax) deductions tax filers use to reduce their tax liability to the federal government. Talk about starting a fight from both sides of the aisle as well as some state governments! Comprehensive tax reform has been needed for decades and, although it will fall short of overall reform to provide long-term fiscal stability and eliminate disenfranchisement by broadening the base, the current proposed changes could go a long way to leveling the playing field. Current law allows filers to itemize and deduct SALT to minimize their tax liability. Proposed is the elimination of state income and sales taxes and cap the deduction to $10,000 on property taxes. According to The Tax Policy Center, these deductions are an indirect federal subsidy to state and local governments as the high taxes they impose serve to “export a portion of their tax burden to the rest of the nation”. On the surface these changes look to start leveling the playing field as federal assistance should be more direct than subversively through complicated and transparent tax laws. States most affected by these changes would be ‘net donor’ states (states who pay more in taxes than they get back). Negatively, these states will potentially find it more difficult to find funds to provide some services including social benefits. Higher income earners are more likely to use the SALT deductions and the proposed changes will affect the more affluent than all other classes.
Claims are being made that it will be devastating for the middle-class is more than misleading as conjecture seems to rule the process. In 2015 some $550 billion of SALT deductions were made in filings with over 75% of those claimed by people with incomes over $100,000. The majority of households that have income over $200,000 are subject to the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) which keeps many high income filers from using lots of deductions including SALT deductions to achieve their bottom line. The AMT and the estate tax both are to be repealed with the proposed changes. Also proposed is the doubling of the standard deduction which would have a double effect as the number of filers using itemized deductions would be reduced and providing more filers with having zero tax liability. The reducing of the tax groups to four from seven along with rate reductions in the lower three will likely reduce the liability for a large segment of the filers. It will be interesting and confusing if the tax reform is made law and retroactive by the year’s end. For sure there will be winners and losers regardless of the changes in any reform. Hopes are the changes, if enacted, will spur growth in the economy to the point that the deficits going forward will decline due to increased revenue and offset any increase due to lower taxes. Considering all the changes it seems clear that the burden on the IRS will be reduced as fewer flags will surface for many out-of-range deductions will be removed.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Hints To Keep Your AICR HealthTalk -by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN Hair Healthy American Institute for Cancer Research
(NAPSI)—For most women these days, healthy, vibrant-looking hair is one of their top beauty priorities. Six Hacks For Great-Looking Hair 1. Live right. The best thing you can do for your hair is to drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Also, don’t smoke, and try to avoid polluted environments. 2. Protect your hair while achieving healthy curls with Curlformers. You can now get terrific curls without using any heat or harsh chemicals. That means no breakage, no lasting damage and no compromise on color quality. 3. Don’t wash it in very hot water. That can make your hair dry and brittle as it strips protective oils from your hair. Go for water that’s just a bit warmer than your body temperature. 4. When you do wash your hair, concentrate on cleaning primarily the scalp, rather than washing the entire length of hair. Washing only your hair can increase the risk for flyaway hair that’s dull and coarse. 5. Use conditioner after every shampoo to increase shine, decrease static electricity, improve strength and protect against harmful UV rays. Concentrate conditioner on the tips of the hair, not on the scalp or the entire length of the hair. 6. How often you should wash your hair depends on how oily it is. If your scalp is very oily, you may need to wash your hair as often as once a day. If you have chemically treated hair, your hair may be drier, so you may want to wash it less frequently. As you get older, your scalp makes less oil, so you may not need to shampoo as often. But if you see flakes in your hair, you may not be shampooing enough. This can lead to dandruff and other scalp diseases. Bold, beautiful and voluminous curls made to garner that “all eyes on me” standout style are easier to achieve with Curlformers—the world’s only patented heat-free, salon-quality hair curler. You can create stunning, textured curls without heat, mess or frizz. It works for all hair types, including wigs and weaves, so just about everyone can enjoy the glamorous, stylish, finished look of their choice, without damaging the natural curl pattern. Curlformers styling kits are easy to use, too. They come in three curl styles—corkscrew, spiral and barrel. To create beautiful flowing curls, follow these three simple steps: • Step one: Choose your curl style and apply the kit to your damp hair.
Q: What’s the difference between an antioxidant and a phytochemical?
A:Antioxidants are substances that prevent damage to cells from highly reactive, unstable molecules called “free radicals.” A balance between antioxidants and free radicals in our body is important for health. If not kept in check, free radicals lead to cell damage linked to a variety of chronic diseases. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds in plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. In laboratory studies, many phytochemicals act as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and removing their power to create damage. Some nutrients, like vitamins C and E and the mineral selenium, seem to block free radicals directly not only in the laboratory, but within the human body, too. When it comes to phytochemicals, however, lab test results don’t accurately depict effects in the body. In fact, many of the phytochemicals that show high antioxidant scores in lab tests can’t even be absorbed from the gut. However, healthful bacteria in the colon may break down many of them, forming other compounds that can be absorbed. Phytochemicals and the compounds that form from them seem to act in a variety of ways to protect health. Some can increase cancer cells’ tendency to self-destruct; others may stop carcinogens before they have a chance to begin the process of cancer development. They may also block the development of new blood vessels tumors need. Some fight inflammation. Many phytochemicals also seem to support our body’s ability to balance antioxidants and free radicals. The human antioxidant defense system includes a complex network of enzymes and other compounds working with one another and with antioxidant nutrients supplied by food. The important take-home message from today’s research is that we need a wide variety of plant foods in our diet to get the full spectrum of phytochemicals available to protect our health.

Top eggs with chopped bacon and shredded cheese. For a unique variation, try topping eggs with cooked crab meat and chopped scallions.

What You Need To Know About Applying To College
(NAPSI)—Many students and their parents may be surprised to learn it but college application season doesn’t have to be stressful. Here are some things students should know that can help. First, it’s now easier than ever for students to show their best work on the SAT. Accepted at all colleges and universities, the SAT measures the few things needed for college success and reflects what students are already learning in class. What’s more, students prefer the new SAT to the old test by a 7 to 1 margin. Here’s why: • Gone are “SAT words”—words no one has seen before or will likely see again. • There is no penalty for guessing. Students no longer lose points for wrong answers. • There is more time per question. Students have 43 percent more time than on the ACT. • Only relevant math concepts are tested. Students just need to know essential skills for college and career. The new SAT is the only college admission test that comes with free, personalized, online study tools with Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy (www.satpractice.org). Students have access to thousands of interactive practice questions, video lessons, test-taking tips, and strategies, including eight full-length practice tests. Recently released data about free Official SAT Practice show that nothing advances student opportunity and success like personalized practice. The data link 20 hours of practice using Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy to a 115-point average score gain from the PSAT/NMSQT to the SAT—an increase nearly double the average score gain of students who don’t use it. Just as students can take advantage of free test practice, they can also take advantage of free resources to navigate the college application and financial aid process. To begin building their college lists, students can use free resources such as the College Board’s www.BigFuture.org or the CollegeGo app to search for and compare colleges; navigate the college application process from start to finish with deadline reminders, tips and guidance; find scholarships; and understand financial aid. That’s important, because there are billions of dollars of financial aid available to help students pay for college. BigFuture.org includes a Scholarship Search tool for finding scholarships, other financial aid and internships from among more than 2,200 programs, totaling nearly $6 billion. There are many kinds of scholarships, with scholarships from colleges being the most common type. Additionally, with the PSAT/NMSQT or the PSAT 10, students have access to more than $180 million in scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and several other College Board scholarship partners.
URGENT—Your Vehicle May Have A Dangerous Air Bag!
Bradford Journal Photo Bat project completed in Janelle Gilmore’s art classroom at GGB Elementary School, November 6th, (l-r) Ethan Distrola 7, Shayne Cabisca 6, and Derek Dixon 6 give us some characteristics of bats. They tell us that they hold disease down by eating vermin, and sleep upside down, among other things. They are first grade students from Mrs. Lohrman’s classroom.
(NAPSI)—A few simple steps protect your family and loved ones. You may be driving a vehicle with a defective driver’s side air bag, passenger’s side air bag or both. If you have one of the following vehicles, please call your local Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge or Ram dealership to schedule a FREE repair: The Problem Here’s why: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 34 million vehicles have defective air bags, which can cause serious injury or death in the event of a crash. Even a minor fender bender can cause these air bags to explode, spraying metal fragments into drivers and passengers. A Solution Fortunately, there is a solution, re-
pairs are FREE and Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram dealerships have plenty of new air bags available to replace them. You don’t even have to take the vehicle back to the same dealership from which you bought it; any authorized dealer can make the free repairs. Learn More: For further facts, or if you are not sure whether your vehicle is part of this, you can: 1. Go to recalls.mopar.com and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), found on the driver’s side dashboard near the windshield or the inside driver’s side door. 2. Get in touch with your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram dealership. 3. Call the dedicated toll-free number: (866) 220-6765. Se habla espanol.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Changes To The FAFSA Make It Easier To Apply For Student Aid
Do you have a high school senior who is knee deep in the college admissions process? Writing essays and filling out forms can be a stressful process for students, just as covering the cost of college can be for parents. This year, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) submission period opened on October 1 – three months earlier than in previous years. That extra time to get financial information in order could be a big benefit to many families. Don’t put off completing the application, sending the FAFSA in early could increase your financial aid package and give you more time to compare aid offers from different schools. Understanding this form of student aid. The FAFSA determines your family’s expected contribution to the cost of higher education and serves as an application for federal financial aid, such as student loans, work study and the Pell Grant. It’s also used by some state agencies and schools to determine aid, including merit-based awards, and some scholarships require applicants fill out the FAFSA. Current and prospective college students must complete a new FAFSA each year. Dependent children will need their parents’ financial information to complete the form, and parents may want to work on the application alongside their child. Most students complete the FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov. While it can be complicated, once you have all the paperwork in order, the application could take less than 30 minutes. New changes in tax requirements make filling out the FAFSA easier. The earlier submission period isn’t the only difference for the FAFSA this year, there’s also a change in the tax information you need to submit. You’ll now report your income based on the student’s and parents’ tax return from two years before the school term begins. Your 2015 tax return for the 2017-2018 FAFSA for example. You might be able to electronically transfer your tax return information to your FAFSA using the Internal Revenue Service’s Data Retrieval Tool. If you’re unable or don’t want to use the tool and don’t have a copy of your 2015 tax return, you can order a free tax transcript of your return online, by mail or by calling 1-800-908-9946. The 2017-2018 FAFSA requires that applicants use their 2015 tax return information even if there have been significant changes in your financial
situation since then. After submitting, applicants can contact schools’ financial aid offices to make adjustments. Pay close attention when filling out the FAFSA because some of the questions, such as those pertaining to current assets, are based on when you fill out the form, not your tax return. Submitting your application early offers several advantages. The federal deadline for the 2017-2018 FAFSA is June 30, 2018, but don’t wait that long to complete your application. States and colleges have deadlines of their own, and your eligibility for aid can depend on meeting these deadlines. Some states and schools also distribute aid on a first come, first served basis. Submitting your application early can help ensure you’ll receive the aid you’re eligible for before the funds run out. Prospective students who submit the FAFSA early might receive estimated financial aid offers from schools earlier as a result. This gives families more time to compare the offers before making the big decision on which school to attend. You can list up to 10 schools on the FAFSA, including schools you’re considering but haven’t applied to yet. Submitting your info holds your place in line for aid, and you can switch out schools later if you want. You’ll also receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) after submitting the FAFSA that you can send to additional schools. Many states require you send your
by - Nathaniel Sillin
FAFSA to at least one in-state school to be eligible for state grants, and some states require you list a state school in the first or second position to be eligible. The Department of Education has a list of each state’s requirements. Bottom line. The FAFSA’s submission period opens up three months earlier than in previous years. Sending your FAFSA in early could increase your eligibility for financial aid and give you more time to compare aid offers from schools.

7 Steps to Better Security Online
Photos courtesy of Getty Images
V
FAMILY FEATURES
irtually no one would park a car in a busy area, leave the keys in the ignition, roll the windows down and walk away. Yet many people who would take precautions to protect their vehicles leave access to their personal and financial information wide open. In this digital era, it pays to be just as diligent when it comes to virtual properties as it does physical ones. These seven steps can help you create a more secure environment that protects you from online attacks. Make your device a fortress. Whether you’re using a desktop, laptop or mobile device, taking proper precautions to safeguard the device itself is your first line of defense. Use reliable internet security software, apply firewalls, block pop-ups and prevent sites from logging your location. Make it a habit to log out of websites and regularly delete your history and cookies, especially if you’re using a public system or one that others access regularly. Shop smart. Only make purchases from encrypted sites and limit purchases to a single credit card that you regularly monitor. It’s a good idea to make online purchases using a card with a clear policy about your liability in the event your card number does get stolen or you unknowingly purchase from a fraudulent seller and need to recoup your funds. Be wary of strangers. Although social interaction with people you’ve never met is the norm via chat rooms and other internet-enabled sources, it’s still smart to treat those encounters with caution. Never divulge personally identifying information or financial details, and avoid opening emails or following text or message links from unknown senders. Keep privacy in mind. Know that virtually anything you post online can become public at the hands of someone with ill intentions. This even applies to things you post that you intend only for friends and family to see, as one of them can easily copy and forward on your photos, words, etc. If you’d be worried about the general public seeing it, don’t post or share it. Go ahead, be vain. Looking for yourself online isn’t really an ego move, it’s a smart one. Periodically searching your own name could reveal information in the public domain that you’d rather keep private or it could point to potential identify fraud. Monitor your credit and accounts. Particularly if you have an active online life, whether for social, work or practical purposes like banking or shopping, pay close attention to your credit and bank accounts. Hackers find all sorts of ways to get to your identity, but regular monitoring can help you identify a problem before it spirals out of control. Manage passwords responsibly. If you’re like most people, you probably use the same (or a variation of the same) password across numerous accounts. It’s human; it’s easy to remember. However, once a thief or hacker figures out your log-in credentials, all of your personal information and finances are ripe for the taking. Avoid repeating passwords across multiple sites and change passwords often for better security. For more tips to protect your family’s privacy and stay safe while online, visit eLivingToday.com.
4 Tips to Make Sense of Cyber Security
I
t’s no secret that kids have a sense of invincibility. While that trait can bring some endearing reminders of the innocence of childhood, it can also have some highly unfortunately consequences. In the context of cyber security, an action by an unknowing child can impact the entire family. The majority of U.S. households are filled with devices that pose a potential threat to your personal security. In fact, according to the 2016 Global Consumer Security Survey by Trend Micro, nearly half of households have two or more computers and nearly a third have three or more smartphones. Despite the many benefits of a highly connected world, the potential for danger is strong. While there are plenty of parental controls and blocks available, they aren’t foolproof. Educating children about potential risks and how to avoid them with these tips from Trend Micro can go a long way toward protecting your family from potential cyber problems. 1. Understand what you’re saying yes to. Be involved, knowledgeable and interested in the devices, apps and sites your children use for school and for fun. For sites they use for school, ask their teachers for more information. For apps they’re using at home, spend 15 minutes trying it yourself. 2. Use privacy settings and features. Make sure you understand what privacy protections your browser or devices offer for your family when your kids are accessing their favorite sites, apps and online services. Many browsers allow you to prevent sites from tracking what you do and where you go online, so spend some time looking at web browser settings to see what privacy options are available to you. 3. Use features and services available within an app or website. Also take a look at the privacy settings available in the specific apps, websites or games your family uses. Most will let you have a private
account, which means the whole world won’t be able to see what you post or who you’re connected to. 4. Remember that being online is a public life. Nothing is truly private online. If you and your family keep this in mind, it can help you all think through what you are about to post, like and click on, as well as who you connect with online. Explore more ideas to keep your kids and family safe online at internetsafety.trendmicro.com.

Have A Deliciously Healthy Holiday Season
(NAPSI)—A delicious holiday season can be healthy, too. One key: Find small, simple ways to incorporate more nutritious foods, without losing the flavors you love. Blueberries can help. “Blueberries are a small, tasty package with big health benefits,” advised registered dietitian and spokesperson for the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council Patricia Bannan. “They’re sweet, tart and delicious but, at only 80 calories per cup, they make a nutritious addition to a holiday dish or an easy, on-the-go snack. Just rinse and go. Blueberries are also an excellent source of vitamin C, which can give the immune system a boost.” Blueberries are low in sodium with virtually no fat. They’re a good source of dietary fiber (3.6 grams per serving), which aids digestion, keep you feeling fuller longer, and help you resist some of those tempting seasonal treats. Blueberries complement different flavors and cuisines and add depth to sweet and savory dishes alike. For a festive twist, add them to favorite holiday recipes such as this: Blueberry Ginger Jam−Filled Scones Makes 16, 3-inch scones Blueberry Ginger Jam: 3½ cups fresh (or frozen) blueberries ¼ cup maple syrup 3-inch piece fresh ginger (about 2 tablespoons finely grated) 1 tablespoon lemon juice Scones: ¾ cup toasted pecans, ground into flour 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup whole-grain spelt flour 2 tablespoons sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for topping 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon kosher salt ¾ cup cold low-fat buttermilk ¼ cup cold unsweetened applesauce 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes 1 egg, for egg wash To a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of blueberries and maple syrup and cook over medium-high heat. Grate the ginger into the mixture. Cook for 8 minutes, letting the mixture come to a light boil. Once the fruit has cooked down and the jam has thickened, add the remaining 1½ cups blueberries and stir in the lemon juice. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Chill covered in refrigerator until ready to use. In a large bowl, whisk the ground pecans, flours, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk and applesauce and whisk until smooth. Set aside. Add the cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your hands, gently rub the butter into the flour until pea-sized pieces form. Pour half of the wet mixture over the dry mixture and gently combine, incorporating more of the wet mixture with the second addition. Pat the dough to quickly flatten and then gather it back into a mound and repeat. After two or three repetitions, the dough should be well formed. Form each scone by packing 4 tablespoons of dough, spoonful by spoonful, to form 16 balls. Transfer to two large plates. Dip the back of a 1-tablespoon measuring spoon in flour and press into each ball to form a well for the jam. Scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of the jam into each well. Freeze the prepared scones for at least two hours before baking to let the pastries set. Preheat the oven to 375° F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. For the egg wash, beat an egg with a splash of water in a small bowl and set aside. Remove the scones from the freezer and evenly space them over the sheet pans, at least 2-inches apart. Brush the outer rims of the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake from frozen until cooked and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

A
state-of-the-art zoned climate control system can be configured to your specific needs, but all the customization options can make it tricky to predict how much your installation might cost. Taking into account these variables can give you a better sense of how much you’ll be spending.
A
FAMILY FEATURES
New equipment. Each system includes an outdoor unit, indoor unit(s), controls and parts including the refrigerant lineset, wiring and electrical accessories. Conditioning one room or zone comes at a significantly different price than cooling and heating a home with eight or more zones. Generally, new equipment comes in between $3,000-$15,000, depending on the number of zones and size of the home.
s much as half of the average homeowner’s monthly utility expenses go toward cooling and heating, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). For many households, that makes energy the largest home-related expense each month, next to a mortgage payment. Fortunately, numerous technological advances are making it easier than ever to manage home energy use. In fact, the DOE estimates you can save as much as 10 percent a year on energy costs by simply adjusting the temperature up or down when you’re away during the day. Installing a programmable thermostat that never forgets to adjust on a busy morning and kicks back on before you arrive home can help you earn these savings and reduce energy consumption.
Labor. This is what you will pay a licensed HVAC contractor to install the system (and remove your old one, if necessary). Contractors’ labor prices vary widely, but expect to spend an amount roughly equal to your equipment cost, depending on your geographic location and the complexity of the installation.
Home Automation
Newer smart, programmable thermostats can be controlled remotely by internet-connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones. Some models can also monitor your energy usage and system efficiency, providing data to help you make further adjustments to how you operate your HVAC system. Lighting is another major energy challenge. However, smart light bulbs let you adjust your home’s ambiance (and energy usage) with just a couple of quick taps. Paired with motion sensors that detect movement (or a lack thereof) and adjust lighting accordingly, smart bulbs can help reduce the waste of energy caused by lighting unused rooms. Similarly, smartphone applications that connect to other appliances, utilities and home features offer the best of personalized comfort and convenience while providing tools to help minimize your home’s energy consumption.
Zoned Climate Control
If you’re like most homeowners, there are parts of your house that simply don’t get much use or only get used during certain times of the day. Maintaining the temperature in those uninhabited areas can be costly and wasteful. As an alternative, an option such as zoned climate control allows you to stay comfortable in the rooms you use without spending a fortune on energy bills.

While a zoned system is generally considered a premium home feature, it isn’t unattainable and actually offers long-term savings, due to its energyefficient operation. The home is divided into zones, designated by floors, rooms or areas – however the homeowner chooses – which eliminates the “all on” feature of traditional air conditioners. A system like Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating’s Zoned Comfort Solutions offers a true zoning-system with convenient controls and automation, along with whisper-quiet operation. Both ducted and non-ducted units are available depending on the space and occupant needs. Additionally, some models have advanced filtration features to help eliminate allergens, contributing to improved air quality. For a new build, installing a zoned system from the outset is relatively simple. However, zoned systems are also a possible solution for replacing your home's HVAC system or rectifying a problem with a single uncomfortable room.
Pairing the system with sensors or remote app controls can bring operating costs even lower through computerized automation.
Renewable Energy
Another option to offset some of your home’s energy and utility costs is generating your own renewable energy through solar or wind power systems. Installation depends on many variables, such as how much energy you use, local codes and standards, and whether the house and surrounding terrain are situated to allow you to capture adequate natural power. For a home under construction, your builder should be able to offer guidance; for an existing home, contacting a local renewable energy organization or state office is a smart first step. Find more ways to save money on your energy bill at mitsubishicomfort.com.
Additional costs. Depending on your existing system, you may incur costs for items such as electrical work to install a new 240V outlet ($200-$1,000, or more if your electrical panel requires a new circuit); an equipment pad, stand or brackets for the outdoor unit ($50-$300); ductwork (prices vary greatly depending on the home); and controller options (approximately $200-$300 each). Unique situations. Some homes, such as older homes, high-performance homes and homes in extreme cold-weather regions, often require auxiliary heat or specialized designs or equipment, all of which can impact the cost of the system. However, with Mitsubishi Electric’s Zoned Comfort Solutions, 100 percent heating down to a 5 F outdoor temperature can be attained. Rebates. Some states offer rebates for the installation of more energy-efficient appliances, including HVAC systems. These rebates can help offset some of the upfront costs associated with installing zoned systems. Consider speaking with a professional or researching available rebates in your region before purchasing a new system.

Happy, Healthy Meal Planning P
FAMILY FEATURES
lanning a full meal – appetizer, main course and dessert – can be difficult for many home chefs. Having an eye toward nutrition to go along with taste can make it even more difficult. Combine these two high priorities, flavor and nutrition, with these healthconscious, full menu recipes for Tuscan White Bean Soup, Seared Polenta Rounds with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions, and Apple Spice Bread. Find more healthy mealtime solutions at Culinary.net.
A Nutritious Treat
Finish off a nutritious family meal with a dessert that doesn’t go overboard. This Apple Spice Bread can cap the evening off with a tasty yet health-conscious treat including Granny Smith apples. Visit aicr.org to find more healthy and nutritious recipes.
Apple Spice Bread
Reprinted with permission from the American Institute for Cancer Research Servings: 10 Nonstick cooking spray 2 medium Granny Smith apples (about 2 cups) 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole-wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 3 tablespoons canola oil 1 egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Heat oven to 350 F. Coat 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Peel and grate apples. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning. In large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Mix well. Make well in center and set aside. In medium bowl, combine apples, brown sugar, oil, egg and vanilla. Mix well. Add mixture to dry ingredients and mix until just blended. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, until toothpick inserted near center comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on wire rack, 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.
Bolder, Healthier Meals
One of the challenges of cooking at home is creating bold and unique flavors with healthy, organic and wholesome ingredients without spending hours in the kitchen. With the right tools, you don’t have to go to extremes or make drastic changes to eat healthy. For example, purchase products made with certified organic ingredients that have no artificial colors or flavors and are grown by trusted farmers who share the same passion. Consider including items like Organic Simmer Sauces from SEEDS OF CHANGE, which donates 1 percent of sales to support and develop sustainable community-based farming and growing programs. Add zest to your meals by sauteing your favorite protein, veggies or tofu with one of an array of flavors: Sesame Ginger Teriyaki, Taco Roasted Chipotle, Sweet and Sour, Mushroom and Tikka Masala. Just add and simmer for 10 minutes. Start your journey toward bolder, healthier meal options with this Seared Polenta Rounds with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions recipe. Find more organic ways to add nutrition to your meals at seedsofchange.com.
