5 ¢ENTS WORTH

by Grant Nichols

We stopped at three locations for this week’s Bradford Journal photos. The first was the band room at School Street Elementary School, December 10th, where we watched a play entitled Cindy Eller Plays Ball by Joanna Korba, a modern day version of Cinderella, presented

by Julia Speaker’s 3rd grade enrichment class. Parents and grandparents were in attendance for the event where enrichment students from five different classrooms worked together for a couple of months to put on the play. Many pictures and a video of the play can be found in the photo gallery associated with this week’s issue. Our next location was downtown Bradford, December 12th, where we photographed a couple of events taking place during the Old Fashioned Downtown Christmas. We spent most of our time looking around and enjoying the activity on the Streets but we stopped long enough during a Studio B dance performance to take some photos for this issue. The last stop for the Bradford Journal this week was the Children’s Christmas party sponsored by the Bradford American Legion Post #108/ Club/Auxiliary held at the Pizza Hut, December 13th. There, two photographers, Robin Ackler and Mary DePalma covered the event……Posters are up, and the media is announcing First Night Bradford 2016! And admission buttons to all regular First Night Bradford 2016 venues are now available at the following locations: Tops Market, The Tin Ceiling, Bella Capelli, 6V Sales & Service, McKean County Animal Hospital, WESB/ WBRR Office, Colonial Media Group, Bradford Chamber of Commerce and the Bradford Family YMCA. For the low, low price of $5.00, new year revelers can attend all the events beginning at 11AM at the Bradford Area Public Library, continuing through the first night firsts from 1-3PM, leading up to an evening of entertainment from 6PM until 11PM (at most venues). Also up are posters announcing a special two hour show by the high intensity, audience friendly national band, N’Demand to be held at the Bradford Area High School, from 4PM until 6PM. Tickets for this special show, guaranteed to bring lasting memories of the New Year’s Eve, can be had for an additional $15.00 if they are bought in advance along with the $5.00 venue button (a total of $20.00 will buy one show ticket and one button if purchased in advanced). So it’s time to hurry!

Christmas is coming and the $5.00 venue buttons will make good stocking stuffers.

On the other hand, the $20.00 N’Demand Ticket and venue button combo is guaranteed to bring a great New Year’s Eve experience- an experience that Dr. Livingston Alexander, President of Pitt Bradford might even consider to be “Beyond”.

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “The Climate In Paris” -by Bob Perry Last Saturday there was an agreement in Paris from representatives from close to 200 nations to fight climate change.

The identified culprit is greenhouse gases with man being identified as most responsible for the increases of it. As we know, the greenhouse gases trap the heat that the environment. The real goal is to reduce the man-made emissions to a level whereby the forests and oceans can absorb them. We could have the oceans rise and therefore have more emissions absorbed.

Realistically, however, mankind can take it upon itself to create more and larger forests. Having planted thousands of trees in my lifetime, I urge anyone interested in helping to contact organizations, such as the Boy Scouts of America and conservation groups, that plant trees annually, and help them plant some. If you are a land-owner with a certain acreage you may qualify for free trees from a state agency including the game commission. You will do more to help the environment than the representatives who attended the meetings in Paris who are unlikely to wander out to plant anything.

It does not take a lot of brain power to understand the greenhouse gases produced by the mere traveling to Paris by the representatives is greater than some entire third-world nations for a whole year. There is a long-term goal to keep global warming below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The agreement has no teeth because there are no sanctions that will be placed on countries that do not cut the gases.

While there is an agreement there it needs to be ratified by 55 countries before it takes effect. More trips by hundreds of dignitaries producing more pollution to get it done. We all should be able to remember the issue of the deforestation of the Amazon Rain Forest as it was and continues to be the most important forest in the world. The size of the Forest is 48 times the size of the United States. Hard to imagine! In order to help the poor countries fight climate change some $100 Billion annually had been previously pledged by the wealthy nations, but the agreement did not state any definite amounts.

The United States has been investing some $400 million annually in grantbased resources in helping developing countries minimize greenhouse gasses. In November, the Obama Administration announced an initiative titled

the American Campus Act on Climate (ACAC) (not to be confused with the American College Application Campaign) to get support from higher education in the climate change issue and hopefully more support for the ‘Climate in Paris’. Over 300 colleges and universities have joined the initiative and they have adopted a pledge to support the United Nations Climate Negotiations in Paris along with seeing the need to accelerate the transition to lowcarbon energy.

Realistically, the change to low-carbon will occur as the economics permit reasonable cost of the alternative energy sources.

Individually, we can be part of the solution by reducing pollution and planting some trees.

Anna With Real Santa

Anna is the daughter of Cabel and Emily Kellogg of Shinglehouse, PA. They were in town shopping for a Christmas tree. While they stopped for a little break, when they saw the real Santa, they jumped right into the party. (See more pictures in the photo gallery.)

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Why A Little Chocolate Can Be Good For Weight Management (NAPSI)—Here’s something that is sure to be sweet music to the ears of every chocolate lover: A little dose of the world’s most popular food type and flavor can actually support an individual’s weight-loss goals.

The reasons a bit of chocolate can be helpful primarily have to do with indulgence, satisfaction and balanced eating.

Indeed, for the vast majority of people, dieting involves taking on rigid restrictions like the complete elimination of certain foods or eating unreasonably small portions. These are extremely difficult to sustain over time. In “The Magic of Sensible Dieting,” author and registered nurse Bella Tindale explains that it is these strict constraints that make it almost impossible to stick to harsh regimens.

Balanced eating, however, is not about complete restriction but more on setting practical boundaries. It allows for controlled, portioned and moderate indulgences. A small amount of chocolate, even consumed daily, can offer a delicious treat without disrupting a healthy eating lifestyle.

“Balance is what makes weight loss sustainable,” said registered dietitian and nutrition communications specialist Kelli Shallal, MPH, RD. “Small, regular indulgences enable you to enjoy life without guilt and without compromising longterm healthy weight goals. It might seem contradictory, but the truth is that you can maintain balanced eating and still have a little chocolate daily.”

One of the keys to success is focusing on rewards rather than restrictions. Having something to look forward to each day can provide a strong incentive for staying on that healthy diet track.

Another key is avoiding those pangs of guilt that can lead to a sense of helplessness or loss of control, feelings that can sabotage regular eating habits that are healthful and maintainable. In fact, the psychology of dieting suggests that those who associate foods like chocolate with

AICR HealthTalk

-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research Q: If I order vegetable-topped pizza, do a couple of slices count as a serving of vegetables?

A: Vegetable pizzas are a great choice, but most take-out or frozen pizzas don’t supply a meal’s worth of vegetables, even with tomato sauce. If you order a combination of several different veggie toppings, an entire 14-inch (large 8-slice) pizza might contain the equivalent of about a cup. To make pizza fit as part of a healthfully balanced meal, try adding extra veggies of your own. While waiting for pizza delivery, microwave, steam or sauté some vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers or broccoli. Leafy greens work especially well as an add-on, because a good size portion cooks down to a size that can fit on each pizza slice. You can use fresh, pre-washed spinach or any leafy greens and microwave them right in the bag, or quickly thaw and heat some frozen spinach or kale for your pizza. Sauté these briefly with some garlic or sprinkle with a dash of Parmesan for extra flavor as you add it to the pizza. Another option is to make pizza at home, starting with pre-made crust or whole-wheat dough to save time, if you like. Then you can load the pizza with lots of vegetables, making it healthier, tastier and more filling. Yet another approach for pizza as part of a healthful meal is to have a side salad or a plate of antipasto to round out the meal, with raw vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, marinated mushrooms or artichoke hearts, leftover roasted vegetables and raw carrot sticks or pepper strips. These options provide the chance to get a reasonable proportion of the two to three cups of vegetables daily that are recommended for us from age nine onward. Moreover, getting extra vegetables can help make a meal filling enough without the excess calories that can add up so quickly when satisfying hunger with pizza alone. “celebration” have a better time losing weight; this, according to research published within the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

“When you treat small indulgences of chocolate as a celebration, you set yourself up for more success in losing weight because you will maintain a feeling of being in control of your nutrition,” said Suk Cho, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer with Isagenix. The organization is a leading global health and wellness company and provider of nutritional systems and solutions for energy, performance and weight loss.

“Moderation is still the recipe for success. Chocolate should be just one small part of balanced eating. But it is good to know that a little of this satisfying comfort food can be incorporated into a healthconscious lifestyle.”

Cho added that there are great ways to appropriately include chocolate into everyday eating. One example is Isagenix’s IsaDelights® premium individually packaged chocolates. The line features dark and milk chocolate flavors, but has been recently expanded to include new salted caramel milk chocolate and dark chocolate with mint options.

Much like managing money, when one pays close attention to the daily budget, buying something special once in a while is okay.

The same holds true for dieting. Sticking to a sensible plan that is higher in protein, higher in nutrients and lower in unhealthy fats and refined carbohydrates is a proven way to help achieve weight-loss goals. And it provides the flexibility that allows for that extra little chocolate treat now and then.

olate can be good for weight management or for more on chocolate-flavored snacks and meal replacement options, visit www. isagenix.com

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Don’t Let The Last-Minute Holiday Rush Crush Your Budget For all the planning we do during the holidays, the last couple of weeks before the big parties and family gatherings can trip up the best of budgets.

Perhaps what’s needed is some lastminute tricks to keep overspending to a minimum. Here are a few ideas to get you through.

Track your spending. If you’re close to the upper end of your budget and you’re not quite sure what’s happened, go through those receipts. Maybe you and your partner or spouse are shopping independently, spending too much on gas, meals out or failing to coordinate on the items you need. Maybe the kids are adding items to their lists at the last minute. It’s toughest to say no to kids, so see if there are adult gifts, decorating items or seasonal specialty food you really don’t need to purchase.

In other words, if your budget is tight, identify the expenses you can alter and adjust your spending plans.

Don’t ignore the cost of returns.

Some retailers are strict about return policies on a host of items, which makes it doubly important to save all your receipts. If you’re giving gift cards, make sure the recipient has the purchase receipt in case the card doesn’t work.

If you’ve bought items online, make sure you keep critical return information and package return stickers in case you need them. However, take one additional step with shipped returns – see whether the seller is charging you more for their convenient shipping label option than shipping the item back locally in your own packaging. Finally, keep restocking fees in mind – some retailers charge in excess of 10 percent of the item’s cost to accept a return, particularly for electronic and mechanical purchases that involve heavy packaging. Ultimately, the best time to check return policies is before you buy, but if you do have to return items, consolidate those trips to save time, gas and money.

“Piggyback” the purchases of others. If you have a large gift list for loved ones or family, be a nosy shopper.

Maybe your sister is finally giving her movie freak husband the room-sized flatscreen he’s always wanted. Maybe your nieces and nephews are getting expensive dolls, toys or technology items that require clothes or software of some sort. If you are trying to cut your holiday budget, check in with loved ones to see if you can supplement these expensive gifts with accessories that might be easier on your budget and appreciated just as much. Pitching in for a couple

-by Nathaniel Sillin of outfits for the expensive doll – rather than having to buy the expensive doll itself – saves you money, gives your loved ones a break on the subsequent purchases they’ll need to make and the recipient gets more of what he or she wants. A win-win all around.

Watch out for theft. All the smart shopping in the world won’t lessen the headaches from thieves who target your packages, personal and online data or the contents of your wallet. Fast-approaching holidays and busy sched-

ules can leave us tired and distracted, so keep a close watch on potential risk for identity theft, (https://www.identitytheft.gov) package theft from cars, homes and apartment vestibules. If you take public transportation, use extra caution to keep your money, purchases and personal technology hidden from thieves.

Bottom line: Don’t let the last, busy weeks of the holiday season knock you off budget or threaten your financial security in other ways.

Gov. Wolf Announces Partnership With Waze (Harrisburg, PA) – Governor Tom ficient traffic monitoring by sharing said Paige Fitzgerald, Connected Citi-

Wolf has announced travel information available for Pennsylvania roadways is being expanded through a free, twoway data-sharing partnership between the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Waze (www. waze.com), a real-time crowdsourced navigation app through which drivers share road conditions.

“As travelers rely more and more on their smartphones for real-time traffic data, this new partnership represents yet another way PennDOT is modernizing to keep up with the demands of its customers,” Governor Wolf said.

free, anonymous, crowdsourced incident reports and slow-down data from Waze users (called Wazers). Waze will receive PennDOT’s road condition reporting data to share with its users, while the department will use data reported by Wazers to supplement internal traffic-condition monitoring.

“PennDOT is always looking for ways to make it easier and safer to travel on our roadways,” PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “This partnership will advance our efforts in showing a government that works by improving our data while providing verified information through the app.”

According to Waze, Philadelphia has more than 417,000 active users per month and Pittsburgh has more than 80,000 active users per month. The mission of Waze Connected Citizens Program is to help Wazers, as well as cities and citizens collaborate to improve their community and answer the question “What’s happening on our roads right now, and where?”

“Waze is only as strong as the information it receives from its users,”

zens Program Manager at Waze. “With many Pennsylvanians already using Waze and partnerships with more than 25 U.S. municipalities including the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Waze already enables and empowers drivers. Our goal is to further connect Pennsylvania cities through this data exchange. The immense data PennDOT can contribute to Waze makes them an important partner moving forward.”

Deep technical knowledge is not required to be selected as a partner of the Connected Citizens Program. It is critical that prospective partners prove their dedication to citizen engagement and commit to use Waze data to improve city efficiency. Partners are also expected to measure and share their findings with other municipal organizations, developing case studies that serve as keys to a global set of improvements which can be made for collective mobility.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGE

The Real Cost Of C.A.R.E. (NAPSI)—According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, life expectancy in the U.S. is at a record high of 78.8 years and continuing to climb. As Americans live longer, the prospect of becoming a caregiver or needing one is an undeniable reality. In fact, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 70 percent of adults 65 or older will require some form of long-term care (“LTC”).

However, Northwestern Mutual’s new C.A.R.E. (Costs, Accountabilities, Realities, Expectations) Study suggests that Americans are not prepared for the financial and emotional implications of caregiving.

Though many caregivers ultimately find the experience very gratifying, the day-to-day realities could be quite sobering. According to the C.A.R.E. Study, the majority (59 percent) of Americans feel that taking care of two adults between the ages of 85 and 90 could be harder than managing two children, ages 3 and 5. This may explain why three in 10 caregivers experience anxiety while nearly half say they are routinely tired.

Kamilah Williams-Kemp, vice president, long-term care, Northwestern Mutual, notes that caregivers often don’t know what to expect until they are in the situation. “People tend to believe that caregiving is mainly about chores like food shopping, so the intimate nature of some of the tasks and the general role reversal between parent and child can be quite eye-opening,” says Williams-Kemp.

The largest gap between perception and reality may be around financial considerations. Experienced caregivers who have incurred expenses as a result estimate those costs comprised roughly a quarter of their monthly budget. Among Americans who anticipate future caregiving costs, two-thirds say that would have a significant toll on their finances—yet four in 10 have not planned for how they would cover them.

“Tapping into savings/retirement funds or reducing discretionary spending are common ways of managing the financial pressures of caregiving,” continues Williams-Kemp. “However, this approach may actually create more stress because it impacts lifestyle and future financial security.”

Northwestern Mutual’s 2015 Planning & Progress Study showed that

Americans are already concerned about having sufficient savings to take care of their own needs. More than one in 10 (12 percent) think there is a 100 percent chance their savings will run out someday, while many working Americans expect to delay retirement past traditional retirement age due to necessity, citing insufficient savings as a key reason.

The good news is that it’s possible to take control of your potential long-term care needs, which could help mitigate the stress regarding care decisions for your loved ones. Williams-Kemp suggests the following: • Recognize that you have options.

While it’s best to get a jump start on long-term care planning, there is a range of solutions at various life stages that can be integrated into your financial security planning.

• Have a candid conversation. Longterm care is a challenging topic but understanding your family member’s wishes and expectations for care, as well as addressing your own, can be key to building a sound financial strategy.

• Talk to a financial professional.

Don’t underestimate the value of expert guidance in navigating complex scenarios and tailoring a strategy that aligns with your individual goals, needs and resources.
