LOCAL & AREA NEWS Veteran’s Square Improvements

Photo provided New benches to be installed in Veteran’s Square later this spring.

As part of their ongoing downtown improvement efforts, the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce and the Main Street Program are working on the next phase of rehabilitating Veteran’s Square, with plans to purchase and install eight steel eight-foot park benches.

The benches are being made my Swanson’s Fabrication of Bradford, a local company specializing in structural steel

and aluminum, including custom design and engineering. “It was important to us to use a local manufacturer for this project,” said Anita Dolan, Main Street Manager, “and Swanson’s Fabrication has an excellent reputation for working with their customers to achieve high quality, professional results.”

Each bench will have a bronze plaque signifying who donated the bench. Wright Monumental Works, also of Bradford, will be creating the plaques. “This is a hometown effort with the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street program working together with local companies to achieve a positive visual impact in Veteran’s Square,” said BACC Executive Director Ron Orris. Each bench will have a cost of $1750, which includes engraving the plaques. Companies, organizations, or individuals interested in purchasing a bench in memory of or in honor of someone should contact the Chamber office at 814-368-7115.

In addition to installation of the benches, the Chamber and the Main Street pro-

gram will also be holding a clean-up day for Veteran’s Square later this spring and planting dozens of roses in the area where the tree came down last year. The expected timeline for completion of these efforts will be late April or early May, so that the improvements are all in place before the Memorial Day parade and services.

As Dolan noted, “In an effort to keep improving the look of our historic district, the purchase of the new benches will complement the work that was done on the gazebo last year, therefore improving the overall appearance of Veteran’s Square, which is a significant part of our Main Street’s history.” In 2014, the two organizations worked together to give the gazebo a freshly-painted new look, while the Chamber provided patriotic decorations throughout the summer months and holiday lights and greenery during the Christmas season. “Veteran’s Square is a downtown landmark that deserves our attention and care, and we look forward to continuing to partner with the Main Street program to help keep it at its best,” said Orris.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH

by Grant Nichols

We stopped at GGB Elementary School this week for the photos in this issue. Our first stop was Mrs. Coles’ art classroom where we found Mrs. Tillford’s pre-kindergarten students hard at work constructing and coloring snowmen from the perspective of a bird’s-eye point of view. Whether these four or five-year-old children were copying their teacher’s model (they were doing a good job of it) or whether they were actually getting outside of themselves to see the snowman as a bird would do, we do not know.

However it is something to consider, that such a concept as seeing things outside of themselves, learning to take another point of view, is being taught in art……..Our second stop was in Mr. Atteberry’s second grade classroom where students were engaged in language arts work associated with the first of Dr. Seuss Reading Spirit Days taking place. While some were reading Dr. Seuss books, others were engaged with books of their choice by different authors. In addition, their teacher had supplied students with work sheets containing many of Dr. Seuss’s poems (that were eventually illustrated and found themselves as books), along with work sheets containing rhyming words……..As local and regional gasoline prices have varied over the past couple of weeks, prices for gasoline in the Seneca Junction area have remained 25-30 cents lower per gallon than locally controlled gasoline. We are told that those who drive to the Salamanca Casino, Jamestown and Olean have been taking advantage of this and are able to save about $4.00 a fill-up.

And to this we say, “Good for them!” ……..Having watched water main breaks over the past 30 or so years in Bradford, we think that each passing year brings more direct damage to the delivery system and more damage to the community at large, as old rusted pipes predictably burst throughout the City during extreme temperature and pressure changes. It is our understanding that surpluses in revenue collected from operations of the system each year, along with money garnered from the State and Federal government, have been used to lay new pipes in an effort to expand the delivery area and the number of customers. Perhaps it’s time that the water authority board, and management, become good shepherds of this vital service and begin to use surpluses and government money to repair the infrastructure that they have neglected for so many years.

It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist “Classical Liberalism” The development of ideas for improving government in the 18th -century led to a political ideology that became known as Classical Liberalism.

This ideology focused upon the freedom of individuals and this implied that the individual had an inherent responsibility for the self in all aspects.

The key values are liberty and equality, and should exist throughout the world.

By all measure any effort to change things including government structure is measured by whether or not the change increases or decreases the individual liberty. The place of government is to act only to prevent harm to others. Peace is more possible without the interference of government. The individual is essentially considered of more importance than that of the collective.

Since the individual had more responsibility the need for government interfering was diminished therefore a limited government was essential. The freedoms that were envisioned included freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, markets and the press. The founding of the United States of America included these rights and the success of the new nation was assured as long as these rights were protected.

As time has progressed we have become a different nation as distortions have emerged in the interpretation and application of rights. The mere idea of limited government has become a farce as government at all levels have made almost all issues something they can latch onto and give legitimacy to their existence. This makes more and more demand on the resources of the individual thus reducing the freedom of economy each of us had. The lack of accountability in government has promoted corruption at all levels as the unfettered leverage placed upon representatives through money has all but guaranteed failure. Power concentrated in government has proven to be more value to those that govern than those who are governed.

As for the freedom of markets, one is hard pressed to find any segment of the financial world that does not have controls placed upon it by with increasing regularity the progressive movement is distorting all sorts of freedoms by declaring more and more privileges as rights making us all less free and more dependent. Is not then individual the better judge of their own resources than

-by Bob Perry

those that claim to know better but usually don’t?

Classical liberalism looks at civil societies as being the better cure for social problems than looking to government for the cure. For example poverty can be better dealt with by organizations like churches and voluntary organizations, but, with government assuming control, not those willing to give but the government forces the tax payers to foot the bill. Loss of a freedom of the individual to use one’s own resources as one sees fit. This is one example of government planning our lives.

We would be much better off living by the values of Classical Liberalism than the road we were led down.

Poems From Dr. Seuss

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES Getting Serious? Five Important Money Questions To Ask If your relationship is heading toward joint finances, it’s essential to talk about it first – openly and honestly.

A 2014 survey (http://www.nefe.org/ press-room/news/financial-infidelityposes-challenge-for-couples.aspx) by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) found that 13 percent said they had failed to share information about their personal debt or income, which had “an effect on the relationship.” his year, consider thinking beyond the roses and candlelight dinners to a potential future of merged finances. Here are five key questions that should drive your conversation: Where are you financially as individuals? Take time to talk about your household debt – including student loans, credit cards, mortgage and medical bills, and share your credit reports from the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). Each can be obtained once a year for free (https://www. annualcreditreport.com/index.action). It’s also important to discuss assets – not only the savings and investments you hold, but also how future job or education plans can improve the marriage or family’s financial health.

What are your money personalities?

This is a personal finance question that many financial planners still ask to get a sense of your money management habits.

It’s intended to identify which person in the relationship is the spender or the saver.

It’s particularly important to ask each other whether you save or spend to make sure you’re on track to achieve your long-term goals.

How do you want to live? This question is about shared financial and personal goals and how you will achieve them together. Discuss how you’ve been living thus far, and what you might change. Be honest about where you want to live, what kind of home and family you want to have, what kind of career or retirement you want and start discussing concrete ways you both will get there.

How will you handle everyday spending? Determine how you will share accounts, pay bills, budget, save for the future and bank – jointly, separately or both.

Figure out how will you jointly manage credit and the smartest ways to save for retirement. If you want a family, decide how you’ll plan for kids financially. Finally, work together when problems come up. As with all issues in a relationship, ongoing communication is key.

What if you need help? There are options if you or your partner doesn’t know where to start. Licensed financial and tax professionals can provide guidance on is-

sues from basic budgeting (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/savingspending/budgeting/) to prenuptial agreements. Friends and family are a good resource for recommendations.

Also keep in mind that some religious denominations actually offer solid financial planning advice as part of premarital counseling and the NEFE has a quiz (http://www.smartaboutmoney.org/ToolsResources/LifeValues-Quiz.aspx) for potential spouses. For debt issues, the Na-

tional Foundation for Credit Counseling is a good independent resource that can offer advice on improving credit issues as a couple. The earlier you can put together an advisory team that fits your needs, the better.

Bottom line: If you and your sweetheart are considering tying the knot or expanding your family, don’t ignore money issues. It can be a difficult conversation to initiate, but it’s an important one to start planning your financial future together.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE 5 Tips to Having A Happy, Healthy Heart

(NewsUSA) - Everyone knows heart health is vital. Yet, more than 600,000 Americans die of heart disease every year -- or one in every four deaths -according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

By arming yourself with information about nutrition, fitness and lifestyle choices, you can reduce your risk for heart disease.

From picking protein-rich foods that are low in saturated fat to snoozing for the optimal amount of time each night, here are some valuable tips to keep your ticker happy: * Get your protein from foods that are low in saturated fat. While a good steak or hamburger can be enjoyable, it is also high in saturated fat. Better choices are fish, poultry and nuts. If you want something even lighter, consider a protein shake. The Bowflex Body French Vanilla Fitness Shake (www. bowflexbody.com), for instance, offers 15 grams of protein per serving and a scant 1 gram of saturated fat. An added bonus is that these shakes activate the metabolism and help build muscle, burn calories and boost energy. * Put down the smartphone. In today’s world of 24/7 connectivity, it’s important to unplug from work, email and devices for at least an hour a day.

This helps reduce stress, which is important for keeping your blood pressure and heart rate levels from going too high. * Get some rest. Experts recommend aiming for around seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Consistently getting too few or too many zzz’s can be unhealthy. * Move your body. A recent study from the University of Cambridge determined that inactivity is more dangerous to your body than obesity. There are limitless activities to get your heart pumping, such as walking, swimming or biking, to name a few. Looking for a workout you can do at home? The Bowflex TreadClimber (www.treadclimber. com) combines the motions of a tread-

AICR HealthTalk

-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN American Institute for Cancer Research Q: If 100% juice is the recommended choice, why is the sugar content on some still so high?

A: The reason sugar content is high even in 100% juice is because listed grams of sugar include all forms of sugar, including those that occur naturally in the fruits. But a product labeled 100% juice means it contains only juice or juice concentrate with no added sugars. Choosing 100% juice helps you avoid “empty” calories, which means the natural sugar and calories come with some combination of vitamins, minerals and natural plant compounds (phytochemicals).

Navigating juice labels requires careful reading. For example, “100% cranberry juice” must be exclusively cranberry juice; “100% juice, cranberry” cannot contain added sugar, but may be a blend of several juices, and cranberry need not dominate. Since the juice of some fruits, like grapes, tends to be naturally higher in sugar and sweeter tasting than an equal amount of other juice, producers often use grape and apple juice concentrates as the primary juice in a blend, even when the label lists another fruit, such as cranberry, peach or raspberry, as the juice flavor and name. Read the label.

Juice drinks or cocktails – not 100% juice – may have a small amount of real fruit juice, but also contain added sugars like beet and cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup. These beverages lack the nutritional benefits of 100% juice.

You can have juice drinks that are lower in calories and sugar by diluting them with water, which will also dilute nutrient content. Drinking 100% juice is recommended as the best fruit beverage option, but also note that for most people, solid fruits are an even better choice. A cup of unsweetened solid fruits provides more fiber and about half the calories and sugar as a cup of unsweetened juice.

What Is Your Cat's Bad Breath Telling You? (NewsUSA) - How many times has your cat come to wake you up by rubbing his face against your face in the morning?

Your cat looks adorable, but the odor coming from his mouth may make his affection less than welcome. Of course, you want to freshen your cat’s breath, but before you look into kitty breath mints, you might want to make an appointment with your veterinarian.

While post-tuna halitosis is no cause for concern, your cat’s breath should not stink consistently. If you notice an unrelenting odor, your cat might be suffering from an undetected health issue, such as oral disease or diabetes. If you notice the following smells, have your cat examined by a vet: * A sweet smell. If you cat’s breath smells fruity, it could be a sign of diabetes, especially if the sweet breath is combined with excessive thirst, frequent urination and weight loss. * An ammonia-like smell. If your cat’s breath smells like urine, he could have kidney disease. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, thirst and frequent urination.

Why You Shouldn’t Go Cheap When Filing Your Taxes Financial Expert Explains Why You Should Hire A Good CPA & Not Part-time Help; Offers Tips It’s that time of year for part-time help at the local tax-preparation location, when drivers can see seasonal staff standing at busy intersections wearing costumes of the Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam. But they’re not the only ones who are hired part time, says professional advisor to Certified Public Accountants Gary Marriage, Jr. “I sometimes ask people, ‘Do you want a guy in a costume to handle your taxes?’

Of course, the guy actually doing the paperwork probably won’t be the guy standing near the traffic, but he’s also not the person you want dealing with your bottom line,” says Marriage, CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors (www.naturecoastfinancial.com).

“I know millionaires who go to these pop-up tax firms; they’d rather spend a few hundred dollars on their return than a grand or two with a skilled CPA. But this apparent savings comes at a cost, because a good accountant is likely to find many thousands of dollars in savings in a single tax return, and they are far less liable to make a mistake.”

Marriage offers additional tips for consideration this tax season.

• Have your records handy, and consider a long-term relationship. Not only is it advantageous to file taxes through a CPA, it’s also smart to have all relevant records readily available at your disposal – no matter who is helping you with your return.

“Not only do I strongly advise you to use a reputable CPA that you can trust, I also think you should try to establish a long-term relationship with him or her,” Marriage says. “Think of a financial professional as similar to a doctor or lawyer – the better they know you, the better off you’ll be. High-net-worth individuals have the most incentive for professional financial services, even if they’ve made a hobby of saving money by doing things their own way.”

• High-income earners pay the vast ma-

jority of income taxes – don’t volunteer more. Taxpayers with incomes exceeding $100,000 earn 60 percent of the country’s income, yet contribute 95.2 percent of the income taxes, according to recent estimates from Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation. Additionally, those earning more than $100,000 – a bit more than 20 percent of taxpayers – pay for 75.7 percent of total federal taxes, excluding the burden on corporate and investment taxes.

“There are many high-income earners who are passionate about their careers and love

what they do; they care more about their work than their income,” he says. “These tend to be the folks who need reminders that there are legal avenues available for protecting their hard-earned money.”

• High-net-worth individuals should consider CRAT. Many people, financial professionals with years of experience, do not know about Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts, a form of financial protection that Marriage often teaches to CPAs. CRATs are a flexible and effective instru(Continued on page 16)

ment used in financial and estate planning.

A CRAT provides a significant tax shelter for any assets and property placed within it. That allows any assets in a charitable remainder annuity trust to increase in value without being taxed on the increase. A well-constructed CRAT can provide financial security for the annuitants.

“CRATs are surprisingly underutilized, but many CPAs I run into simply don’t know about it,” Marriage says. “It’s worth asking your financial advisor about, and if your advisor is unfamiliar with the structure, encourage him or her to look into it.”

About Gary Marriage Gary Marriage Jr. is the founder and CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors (www.naturecoastfinancial.com), which educates retirees on how to protect their assets, increase their income and reduce their taxes. Marriage is a national speaker, delivering solutions for pre-retirees, business owners and seniors on the areas affecting their retirement and estates. He is an approved member of the National Ethics Bureau, and has been featured in “America’s Top Hometown Financial Advisors 2011” and most recently selected to co-author a book with Steve Forbes titled, “SuccessOnomics: Power Principles.”

Marriage is also the founder of Operation Veteran Aid, an advocate for war-time veterans and their families.

What Is Your Cat's Bad Breath Telling You? (Continued from page 10) * A bile-like smell. If your cat’s breath smells like vomit, he may have liver problems. Look for other symptoms, including a swollen belly, loss of appetite and jaundice, or a yellow discoloration in your cat’s eyes and gums. * A smell similar to bad breath smell in humans. If your cat’s breath smells like human morning breath, it might have gum disease, the most common cause of halitosis.

Gum disease is caused by destructive bacteria, which can build plaque and infect the gum line. Professional tooth cleanings can help control the problem, but cats (and noses) benefit greatly from weekly tooth brushing. If your cat won’t allow you to brush its teeth, try using an oral care probiotic such as Teddy’s Pride (www.myteddyspride.com). The tasteless, odorless probiotic powder, which can be sprinkled on pets’ food, flood the mouth with healthy bacteria, so the harmful bacteria that cause bad breath have less room to grow.

5 Signs Your Headache May Be Caused By TMJ Medication Will Mask The Pain, Not Cure The Underlying Problem, Expert Says Nearly everyone on occasion experiences a throbbing headache that interferes with concentration at work or school, or saps the joy from the day.

But sometimes the source of that headache can be surprising. For many people, the pain that emanates from the head can be traced back to their teeth, their bite relationship and the alignment of the lower jaw.

“Pain doesn’t happen randomly or because of bad luck,” says Dr. Fred Abeles, author of the book “Break Away: The New Method for Treating Chronic Headaches, Migraines and TMJ Without Medication” (www.FredAbeles. com).

“There’s a cause and effect to almost everything in the human body.”

With many headaches, Abeles says, the cause is the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, the place at the front of the ear where the lower jaw and the temporal bone on the side of the head meet.

Sometimes the bite and the lower jaw are out of alignment, putting additional strain on muscles, which leads to the headaches. And for many, TMJ headaches aren’t going away because people try to mask the pain with medication rather than correct the underlying cause, Abeles says.

But how do you know a headache is caused by TMJ? Abeles says these are some of the warning signs.

• Your jaw clicks or pops. Any joint in your body should work silently and seamlessly, Abeles says. If your jaw clicks or pops when you open or close it, it’s a clear sign that the lower half of the joint is not in the proper position.

Even if the popping and clicking don’t produce pain, he says, the muscles that have to support and stabilize the joint become fatigued and will produce pain.

• Your bite feels off. The TMJ is the only joint in the human body that has 28 teeth stuck between the opening and closing motion of the joint to complicate things, Abeles says. Every other joint is completely controlled by muscles, and the position of the joint, its movement and range of motion are mediated by muscle.

The TMJ’s position is dictated by where our teeth come together in our bite. So if your bite feels off or your teeth don’t

fit together well, there’s a good chance your TMJ joints are off, too.

• You have pain around your forehead, temples, back of head or radiating down your neck. Ninety percent of pain comes from muscle, Abeles says.

If your muscles are not functioning well because of fatigue from supporting one or both of your TMJ joints in an improper position, they produce pain. It’s much like when you exercise or work hard and feel muscle pain later, he says.

The only difference is that TMJ is more subtle and chronic.

• You have forward head posture.

Our heads are supposed to be centered over our shoulders. If yours is in front of your shoulders when you are upright, you have “forward head posture.” That relates to your bite and your airway.

The human head weighs about eight to 10 pounds. The farther forward it is off the center axis, the more strain it places on neck muscles and vertebrae.

• You snore. Snoring is a red flag that respiration during sleep is disturbed, Abeles says. Several factors can lead to snoring, but one of the most important is the position of the lower jaw, he says.

If your lower jaw is a little too far back, then the tongue is farther back as well.

“If the tongue is slightly farther back than optimal it vibrates against our soft palate, closes off our airway and we snore,” Abeles says. The snoring doesn’t cause the headache, he says, but it could be a sign the lower jaw is too far back. As a result, the muscles that support the jaw in an improper position produce the headache pain.

About Dr. Fred Abeles Dr. Fred Abeles is known as one of the most sought after TMJ experts in the United States (www.FredAbeles.com).

He’s famous for getting results where all other have failed and getting those results without the use of surgery, needles or drugs. He is author of the new book “Break Away: The New Method for Treating Chronic Headaches, Migraines and TMJ Without Medication.”

Abeles is the Clinical Instructor and Regional Director for the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies – one of the most prestigious post-graduate teaching centers in the world today.

Dr. Abeles has been featured on NBC and CBS, consults with leading dental manufacturers on the development of new dental products, been on the cover of the profession’s biggest magazines and instructed dentists throughout the United States and Canada on state-ofthe-art techniques for treating headaches and temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Grandparents, Keep Your Meds Up and Away From Young Children (NewsUSA) - Grandparents love spending time with their grandchildren. Grandbabies bring so much joy. However, it’s not unusual for the curious, tiny fingers of youngsters to end up in places they shouldn’t. Putting precious or breakable objects out of reach is important, and so is keeping medicines and vitamins up and away and out of sight of young children.

More than 70,000 children end up in emergency departments each year after getting their hands on medicines left within reach. That’s 165 kids -- or roughly four busloads of kids -- per day. Far too often, that medicine belonged to a grandparent.

With Help From Chile, Blueberries Stay Fresh All Winter NewsUSA

(NU) - They’re delicious, nutritious and versatile. They’re naturally fat-free, high in vitamin C and a rich source of antioxidants. Americans love them in cereals, salads, sauces and as toppings and by the handful, but when winter comes around, many people assume fresh blueberry season is over.

Not so fast. When the snow flies in Minneapolis, things are just heating up in places like Chile. Thanks to a robust South American fruit industry, fresh blueberries now maintain their favored position in North American produce aisles, culinary creations, and home kitchens all year long.

The popularity of blueberries has soared in recent years, driven by their impressive nutritional resume. One half-cup of blueberries contains just 42 calories and helps meet the recommended 5 to 9 servings a day of colorful fruits and vegetables. The “Little Blue Dynamos” pack in fiber, potassium, Vitamin C and more cancerfighting antioxidants than either wine or green tea. Recent studies also show that fresh blueberries can help keep skin looking younger; help prevent dementia, Alzheimer ’s disease and heart disease; and serve as a natural anti-inflammatory.

Helping the cause significantly is that most people consider fresh blueberries a treat, including children who remain blissfully unaware of the health benefits. Fresh blueberries are easily enjoyed as a grab-and-go snack, but there are other sweet and sa-

vory ways to beat the winter blues with this superfood.

• Blueberry French Toast Sandwich. A satisfying favorite on winter weekends.

• Peanut Butter & Blueberry.

Add fresh blueberries to this classic sandwich. Almond and cashew butter also taste great with blueberries.

• Blueberry Salsa. Swap the traditional tomato for fresh blueberries, a surprisingly cool complement to hot peppers.

• Blueberry Coleslaw. Cabbage and blueberry combine two nutritional powerhouses into a savory side.

and bedside tables, purses and pockets, and loose pills on tables or floors. Weekly pill minders can help you keep track of multiple medications, but they rarely have child-resistant features so a curious child can’t get into the colorful medicines stored inside.

“Grandparents and parents may not be aware of the danger posed by leaving medications where young children can reach or see them,” says Dr. Dan Budnitz, director of the Medication Safety Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “A few simple steps -- followed every time -- can protect our children.”

So, grandparents, enjoy your precious time with your young grandchildren. But whether hosting them in your house or visiting at theirs, remember to store your medicines in a place they cannot access.

Here are some tips from CDC’s “Up and Away and Out of Sight” initiative: *Keep all medicines and vitamins up and away and out of sight in a high cabinet or other place inaccessible to your grandchildren. If you think you may forget to take your medicines if they are not in sight, leave yourself a reminder on the refrigerator or somewhere you check daily. *Never leave medicine or vitamins out on a counter or bedside table, even if you have to take the medicine again in a few hours. *Always relock the safety cap on a medicine bottle. If it has a locking cap that turns, twist it until you hear the click. *Never tell children medicine is candy so they’ll take it, even if your grandchild does not like to take his or her medicine. *Keep purses, bags or coats that have medicines or vitamins in them out of reach and sight of young children. *Program the Poison Help number (1800-222-1222) into your phone so you have it in case of emergency.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGE Lighting For Aging Eyes -- Don’t Get Left in the Dark (NewsUSA) - Lighting becomes more important as people age. According to the American Lighting Association (ALA), with each passing year, everyone requires more light to see properly.

Terry McGowan, director of engineering for the ALA, says, “Older eyes experience two important changes.”

First, the amount of light required to sustain visual performance increases with age. Research shows that a 60-year-old needs twice as much light as a 30-yearold.

Second, with time, human eyes become more sensitive to glare. This can seem like a bit of a Catch-22, as more light can often result in increased glare. That’s what makes the quality of light more important as you grow older.

With many baby boomers reaching their mid-60s, homeowners should consider user age as a factor in their home lighting design. It is easy to enhance the visual performance and enjoyment for baby boomers and older folks with a few simple lighting adjustments: * Turn on one or two table lamps while watching TV to reduce the contrast between the bright screen and the surrounding darkness. * Use a torchiere for uplighting as well as downward illumination for versatility.

Look for a fixture with a separate task light attached or one with a glass bowl at the top to shine some light downward. * Have a task light that can be directed or pivoted.

In addition to providing sufficient light, proper lighting design is essential to human health.

“As people get older, it isn’t just the

amount of light, it is also the color of the light and when it is applied, that is key to regulating things such as circadian rhythm and REM sleep cycles,” says McGowan.

Growing research indicates that light can impact human health in numerous ways, including susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease. The question is: What exactly can aging people do to help their eyes and health?

The answer, according to McGowan, is to enjoy bright days and dark nights. “If you’re older and don’t sleep very well, expose yourself to bright light, such as daylight, early in the morning ... a walk outside will do it ... and sleep in a dark room at night. That will do everything required to regulate your circadian rhythm,” says McGowan.

To see fixtures to help improve light quality without increasing glare, visit a local ALA-member retailer or go online to www.americanlightingassoc.com

10 BASIC MAINTENANCE TIPS To keep your car operating at its best Spring into action with these 10 basic maintenance procedures to make sure your vehicle is running at peak performance for the summer driving season.

FAMILY FEATURES

f you’re like thousands of other car owners who neglected maintenance during the brutal winter months, your vehicle could use a little extra care by now. Setting aside some time will help get your vehicle ready for the spring and summer driving season.

Particularly now that lower gas prices are leaving more money in consumers’ pockets, it’s an ideal time to invest that savings into your vehicle so it is safe, more dependable and lasts longer. After all, keeping your car well maintained lets you avoid the cost of higher payments, insurance increases and all the costs associated with purchasing a new car.

“Whether you visit a professional service technician or do it yourself, a thorough vehicle inspection this spring can help keep your car safe and dependable, and help you avoid much higher costs down the road in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value,” White said.

“Your car has been through a long winter, working overtime in harsh conditions, but factors such as extreme cold, potholes and road salt have taken a toll,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. “Most Americans rely on their vehicles nearly every day to get to work, school and everywhere in between, so taking the time for car care now can save headaches and money in the long run.”

A vehicle inspection should assess the following: Brakes Wheel alignment Battery Check engine light and other illuminated dash Levels and condition of all fluids board indicator lights Tires tread depth and air pressure Interior and exterior lights and wiper blades Belts and hoses In addition, a repair shop can perform a computerized analysis to identify problems with the engine’s performance.

Once your seasonal “check-up” is complete, you can ensure your vehicle’s ongoing bill of health with three simple steps: 1. Keep your vehicle clean.

Regular car washes and waxes protect the paint and body of your car from corrosive debris. In parts of the country where salt is used on the roads, regular washing is especially important.

2. Keep an eye on the little things.

Your windshield wipers aren’t cleaning as well as they should? Your gas tank is missing its cap? There’s a warning light on your dashboard? When you see your car needs attention, don’t delay. Repairing small things now can help avoid more costly problems down the road, and add years of useful vehicle life.

3. Keep your car on schedule.

Every vehicle has a manufacturerrecommended maintenance schedule.

Whether you choose to do your own maintenance or patronize a local repair shop, following a routine service schedule is essential to keeping your car in safe and dependable working order.

1. Check all fluids including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission, as well as windshield washer solvent and coolant.

2. Check the hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.

3. Check the battery and replace if necessary.

Make sure the connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.

Free Car Care Guide Want to learn more about your car? The free Car Care Guide reviews vehicle systems and basic services in an easy to read, non-technical format. Order a free copy for your glove box at www.carcare.org/car-care-guide.

4. Check the brake system annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change.

5. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there is an unusual noise. Exhaust leaks can be dangerous and must be corrected without delay.

6. Schedule an engine check to help it deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy, and produce the lowest level of emissions.

7. Check the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, as proper cooling performance is critical for the comfort and safety of you and your passengers.

8. Inspect the steering and suspension system annually including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components.

9. Check the tires including tire pressure and tread.

Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment.

Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.

10. Check the wipers and lighting so that you can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation.
