LOCAL NEWS It’s A Matter Of Opinion... Guest Columnist “What We Deserve ” -by Bob Perry We the people of America are not getting what we deserve, which is a transparent government and the truth from the politicians that run for elected office. What we do deserve is ‘civility’ from representatives we have elected. When any elected representative of the people, or spokesman of same, state clear falsehoods and/or a misrepresentation of the truth, they need to be held responsible for such an act resulting in a penalty . The act of initiation of a direct falsehood attacking the character of another goes beyond the pale and is deserving of elevated penalties. With the growing effect of political PACs, and their support of a candidate, but legally unable to interact with a candidate, their attack(s) on another candidate creates perceptions affecting votes and isolates a candidate from responsibility of the attacks. By not disavowing the attack(s), the candidate should by lack of such action, be held responsible for such attack (s). Viewing that we the judge and jury and vote, the noted in-proprieties could be considered perjury and therefore punishable.

We are in the midst of probably one of the most divisive and downright nasty presidential campaigns ever, and there seems to be no protection against such abuse. Isn’t it interesting that it is not an ethics violation for a member of Congress to lie in defamation of a person’s character on the floor of the Senate? Recalling that twice in this current campaign time frame Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, attacked presidential candidate Mitt Romney creating perceptions that are false. It is apparent that he was acting the part of an ‘attack dog’ to discredit Romney. So when can we the people be protected from false information and invalid ‘soundbytes’ filling the airwaves? Seventy-eight percent of us are frustrated with the rhetoric, and 66% of the time candidates have been witnessed attacking their opponent. All we want and deserve is the unvarnished truth! For the better part of four years we have witnessed an administration that vowed to be the most transparent in history. But has proven to be one of, if not the least, transparent one ever. The latest saga, being the Benghazi incident, is proving to show a lack of transparency as to the actual events, and a distortion of what the truth is. If left to their own devices, the political parties will not provide any solutions since they are not effective in restraining their own members from being guilty of noted wrongdoings. Attempts have been made for politicians to agree to respectful discourse. And, one such attempt was made by evangelical activist Mark DeMoss who sent a letter to every governor and member of congress with the dismal results of receiving only three signatures (notabley those of - Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn); Representative Frank Wolfe (R-Va); and Representative Sue Myrick (R-NC). DeMoss shut his effort down after spending $30,000 and receiving a volume of hostile mail. Sad commentary indeed! We do need to find some solution to this prevailing issue and the lack of agreement of candidates to live by a code of ethics that are based upon Christian values. I urge you to vote for candidates that better represent such values.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES The Ins And Outs Of E-payments -by Jason Alderman Are you ordering far fewer checks for your bank account these days? Does a roll of postage stamps seem to last a lot longer? Like most people, you’re probably performing many more financial transactions electronically, either by choice or because companies and government agencies have increasingly made it all but mandatory. For example, most gyms require automatic deductions from a checking or credit card account. Utilities, mortgage lenders, insurance companies and others strongly encourage electronic payments. And many states now distribute benefits like unemployment, child support and disability assistance using prepaid cards instead of paper checks. Electronic transactions have caught on because: They’re cheaper. Businesses save on the costs of printing, processing and mailing millions of paper checks and statements; and with first-class postage costing 45 cents, customers rack up savings over time. And they save millions of tons of paper. They’re faster. Bill payments, funds transfers and direct deposits to your bank account or prepaid card occur the same day (often instantly), versus being delayed in the mail. And, if you sometimes forget to mail payments on time, auto payment protects against late fees and overdraft charges. They’re convenient. You can choose one-time bill pay, where you first review your bill and then authorize payment; or recurring bill pay, where your bills are paid automatically at a scheduled time – for either for the full amount (usually mandatory with utilities), the minimum payment due, or an amount you choose. You can usually have funds drawn from either your checking or credit card account (be sure to ask). They’re safer. Even in these high-tech times, old-fashioned mail theft remains a major problem. For example, in 2010 more than 540,000 mailed federal benefit checks were reported lost or stolen and had to be replaced. That doesn’t mean electronic transactions are risk-free. As with email or any kind of online activity, you should take precautions to protect your computer (and cell phone) from being hacked. For example: • Make sure your anti-virus and antispyware software is up-to-date. • When making online payments, look for safety symbols like a padlock icon in the browser’s status bar, an “s” after “http” in the URL, or the words “Secure Sockets Layer” (SSL). • Review credit card and bank account statements regularly and report duplicate bill payments or suspicious/unauthorized charges to the card issuer. • Ask whether your credit or debit card offers “zero liability,” which means you won’t be responsible for unauthorized or fraudulent purchases. • Regularly order your credit reports
from the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), and review for errors or fraudulent activity. You can order one free report annually from each at www.AnnualCreditReport.com, or more frequently for a small fee from each bureau. • Create complex, random passwords and change them regularly. Be a savvy consumer whenever using a bill-paying service:
• Ask if any fees are involved. • Before signing the agreement, make sure you understand and accept the terms. • To stop service, you must notify the merchant as well as the bank/credit card company. Cancellation may take a month or two to become effective, so plan ahead. • If your payment card expires, the merchant will need new card information to ensure uninterrupted service. • Track expenses carefully and keep your budget up to date.

Halloween Safety Tips:
With many communities holding trick-or-treat nights, PennDOT is urging motorists to slow down and watch carefully for little princesses, witches and pirates. Children are unpredictable – and even more so when they’re excited -- which means motorists need to slow down and expect the unexpected. We’re also asking parents to help by reviewing safety tips with their children and helping them to choose safe costumes. Motorists should be extremely cautious on neighborhood streets as children may dart out between parked vehicles or walk on the side of the road. In addition to motorists, parents and guardians can help increase safety and visibility of children by following a few simple tips: •Buy or make brightly-colored, highly-visible costumes that do not interfere with a child’s ability to see, hear or walk; •Consider adding strips of reflective tape to darker-colored costumes or trick-or-treat bags; •Encourage children to carry a flashlight or glow stick; •Accompany young children while they are trick-or-treating; •Remind children to pay attention to their surroundings and to look both ways before crossing a street; and

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Help Your Heart & More
AICR HealthTalk Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN
American Institute for Cancer Research
(NAPSI)—Although heart disease is the cause of one in four deaths in America today, you don’t have to be a part of those statistics. A Fruitful Solution A simple citrus fruit, bergamot, can help. It contains antioxidants to protect cells from oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals. Research on bergamot extract published in peer-reviewed journals showed: • Reductions in total cholesterol of approximately 30 percent; • Reductions in LDL (bad) cholesterol of 38 percent; • Reductions in triglycerides of up to 40 percent; • Increases in HDL (good) cholesterol of up to 42 percent; • Reductions in blood sugar of between 20 and 30 percent. Although bitter in taste, the patented extract of the fruit makes it easier to take and helps target cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose and abdominal obesity, the major components of metabolic syndrome, also known as prediabetes. This affects about 35 percent of the U.S. population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Called BergaMet MEGA, this all-natural dietary supplement also helps support weight management when paired with a healthy diet and exercise. Explained cardiologist Ross Walker, M.D., “We’re talking about ‘diabesity,’ which represents all of the problems of metabolic syndrome rolled into one. The multiple properties of the bergamot fruit allow it to work at many levels in cardiovascular prevention.” According to one cardiologist, who purchased 450 bottles of BergaMet Pro, he is seeing benefits in lipid levels and significant weight loss in just seven weeks. Learn More: You can find further facts and order a supply at: www.bergamet.com and (855) 556-2131.
Q:Do supplements of B vitamins really help people who are nervous or low on energy? A: Supplements can legally carry claims about how a nutrient is linked to structures or functions in the body, but these claims don’t always mean what consumers assume. Vitamins B-12 and B-1 (thiamin) are important for healthy nerve cells that send messages to the brain, allowing us to see, smell and move. However, that does not mean that boosting these vitamins offers any help to people who feel nervous. Likewise, we need several B vitamins for metabolic processes that convert the food we eat into energy. If your diet is low in B vitamins, therefore, you may feel less fatigued if you boost consumption of these vitamins. Other people, such as those who have had certain kinds of digestive tract surgery or disease (such as celiac disease or Crohn’s) or who take medications (like some peptic ulcer meds or metformin), may not absorb the B-12 they need despite adequate intake. Because about 10-30 percent of adults over age 50 have reduced stomach acid that splits food’s vitamin B-12 into an absorbable form, they are advised to take a B-12 supplement. However, once needs are met, research suggests that adding more does not improve energy level. If you are low on energy because of lack of sleep, over-zealous calorie-cutting, a poor diet low in other nutrients, a sedentary lifestyle or too much work or stress, you need to address the real problem to resolve your energy shortage. Q: How can I be sure my baby is getting enough from breastfeeding? My mother keeps telling me I should “supplement” with formula, too. A: In most cases, experts advise not to feed a baby formula while getting breastfeeding established, because this can decrease baby’s demand for breast milk and end up reducing mother’s milk supply. Ask your baby’s doctor if your baby is growing at a healthy rate. It is quite normal for babies to lose weight during the first week after birth, but then should be consistently gaining. Growth rate of breastfed babies is typically a bit slower than that of babies fed only formula, and research now suggests this may be a healthier pattern. For the first few days, mothers produce thick, immuneboosting colostrum rather than regular milk. After that, expect your baby to wet five to six disposable, or six to eight cloth, diapers daily. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, besides the number of wet diapers, another sign that your baby is getting enough milk is acting satisfied after each feeding. At first, your baby may have two to over five bowel movements daily, but then it is quite normal to reduce to two or fewer daily. Feed your baby as often as he or she wants to feed, which will change with growth spurts, but is usually at least eight times a day. Let your baby nurse until satisfied, often 10 to 20 minutes per breast.Your body produces breast milk based on demand, so if you think your baby needs more milk, boost production by adding extra feeding times daily. Also, make sure you are getting adequate rest and drinking enough water. And not only does smoking let harmful chemicals into your breast milk, it also reduces your milk supply; so if you’ve been a smoker, this is a fabulous reason to quit. If you have questions, or think your baby is having trouble getting the hang of this, contact a lactation (breastfeeding) consultant at your local hospital or the La Leche league in your community or online.

Host A Tailgating Party At Home
(NAPSI)--You can score an instant touchdown with your party guests during football season-or at any time-by offering a hot baked potato bar fully loaded with fan favorites and some new players. Unlike watching the big game on the screen, a hot potato bar is anything but a spectator sport. Encourage guests to engage in “full contact” with your potato bar, where they can customize their spuds with toppings of their choice. “If dressed properly, baked potatoes with toppers are hearty enough that they can serve as an entrée,” explained Fred Williams, EVP Concept Development for Buffets, Inc. “This fun and interactive party idea caters to various tastes and ages.” Dish up the ingredients buffet style, so guests can serve themselves, experimenting with whatever winning combinations work for them. A buffet setup leaves you free to mix and mingle with your friends. Just remember to keep hot items in warming dishes, cold items on ice, and refresh the buffet occasionally as necessary. First, make sure you have the right spuds. Williams suggests using russet potatoes, which are great for baking. He recommends baking over microwaving, as the potatoes will maintain their natural flavors and have a consistent texture. Select potatoes that are the same size, so they cook evenly. Remember to scrub potatoes clean under running water and pat dry before baking. After they’re cooked, slit the potatoes lengthwise and keep them warm in a chafing dish, so guests may grab and load. “Top This” Build the base of your potato bar with simple and classic favorites such as butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, cheese, green onions and bacon bits. These ingredients are great on their own but can also complement other toppings. Next, spice up the offering with savory toppings such as vegetarian or meat chili,
shredded cheese, salsa, sliced jalapeños and pico de gallo. For the more adventurous guests, offer these delicious and less traditional toppers: • Shredded chicken with barbecue sauce • Baked beans and sausage • Tuna tossed with creamy peas • Crab with an Alfredo sauce • Coleslaw • Chicken salad. The beauty of a potato bar is that guests can splurge or go for a little garden variety, healthful options: • Steamed vegetables such as broccoli, green beans or asparagus • Roasted peppers and onions • Goat cheese and sautéed spinach • Kernel corn • Black or red beans. Don’t forget to try baked sweet potatoes on your potato bar. These can become especially sweet when topped with cinnamon and chunky warm apple sauce. If you need more inspiration for your hot potato bar, you can visit a Buffets brand restaurant-Ryan’s®, Country Buffet®, Fire Mountain®, Granny’s Buffet®, in addition to HomeTown Buffet® as well as Old Country Buffet®-to check out the “Top This!” setups throughout the restaurant. While there, you may care to top off your potato with a wide selection of options, then pair with a terrific partner-the new thick-cut Rancher’s Select® Sirloin.

Build Early Literacy Skills A Fun Way (NAPSI)—When children grab an object, there’s no telling where their imagination will take them. Suddenly, they’re creating a rocket ship, repurposing it into princess attire or using it as the first building block of a make-believe world. Children often see things for what they can be, not as what they are, allowing them to concoct a new reality with its own set of rules. To them, it’s all in the name of having fun, but this fun also serves an important function. According to early literacy and children’s literature specialist Sue McCleaf Nespeca, play is not time spent away from learning; rather, play is the way young children learn. Through play, children develop motor skills, problem-solving abilities and sensory perception. What many people don’t realize, however, is that play also helps to lay the foundation for literacy. According to “Every Child Ready to Read,” a research-based toolkit created by the Association for Library Service to Children and Public Library Association, divisions of the American Library Association, play is actually one of the best ways for children to learn language and literacy skills. To play is to engage. The more young children engage, the more they absorb, so parents should consider adding fun interactive elements to story time. To help, a pioneer in creative play, LEGO DUPLO, has created a series of Read & Build sets that combine colorful building bricks with short-story board books that can create a rich and engaging experience. As parents read the books, children can get deeply involved in the story by building the characters and objects they’re hearing about. At the end of the book, children can use the bricks to further explore the story or invent new ones; either way, McCleaf Nespeca says, they will be on the way to developing the aural and oral skills that are essential to early literacy. “I am always looking for new ways to excite my son to read,” says one mother. “The combination of reading and building is perfect as it is something we can do together and is an activity that truly keeps his attention.” McCleaf Nespeca recommends reading a story through once to familiarize children with the story and characters. She then suggests rereading it, adding in ways for children to engage and better understand the story, such as with the building blocks or with simple songs and finger games, to lay the foundation for a love of storytelling and reading. As children develop an early connection to reading, it propels them to explore other types of play that are also believed to improve early childhood literacy, such as socio-dramatic play—when children create
their own stories within pretend realities. By storytelling in their imagined world, they have a forum to express themselves verbally and make a stronger connection to letters, words, language and story. To encourage this form of play, parents can designate an area of the playroom and stock it with versatile materials, such as books, props, costumes, construction toys,
books, empty boxes, paper towel tubes and craft supplies. By inventing more opportunities for them to play with language and by interspersing play with story time, parents can help their children acquire the essential building blocks for early literacy and develop a lifetime love of learning.

Simple Steps That Can Cut Energy Costs (NAPSI)—There’s good news for homeowners. By taking a few practical steps, they can help to put a lid on rising energy costs. According to the ENERGY STAR program, the typical U.S. household spends approximately $1,300 per year on home energy bills—and 50 to 70 percent of that is spent on heating and cooling. Fortunately, one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to reduce energy use at home is to ensure that your home is properly insulated. Starting At The Top From attics to basement walls to floors over crawl spaces, there are many areas of the home that can benefit from proper insulation. One of the more important places to start is the attic. It’s the most accessible and least expensive to insulate. Some recommend using a fiberglass loose-fill insulation, such as CertainTeed’s InsulSafe SP, which boasts superior thermal efficiency and sound control. Adding insulation can also qualify homeowners for rebates and tax credits. Check out www.certainteed.com/itools to find out what incentives are available in your area. A Helpful Energy Audit Another resource is the Residential Energy Services Network, or ResNet. It offers certified auditors who can help homeowners evaluate a home to determine where and how energy is being lost.

Say Ahhh To Get More Zzzz’s Dentists Help Patients Say “Good Night” To Sleep Issues (NAPSI)—Healthy teeth, healthy gums and now... healthy sleep? For those who have never consulted a dentist about treatments for sleep apnea and snoring, it may be time to make an appointment. Dental sleep medicine is a growing segment of dentistry that focuses on managing snoring and sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy—an effective alternative to the standard treatment of the disease, the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine and mask. Oral appliance therapy uses a “mouth guard−like” device, worn only during sleep, to maintain an open, unobstructed airway. “Oral appliances are very effective in treating sleep apnea because they help open the airway for patients,” said B. Gail Demko, D.M.D., president of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM). “Depending on the patient’s needs, the device will either hold the tongue in place or support the jaw in a forward position to keep the patient’s airway open and provide more refreshing sleep.” The Dangers of Sleep Apnea According to the AADSM, at least 12 to 18 million adults in the U.S. have obstructive sleep apnea, which causes them to stop breathing hundreds of times a night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute. Sleep apnea is a potentially life-threatening condition that can increase the risk for serious health problems, from congestive heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure and heart disease to diabetes, obesity, depression and impotence if left untreated. Traditional Treatments CPAP is the traditionally recommended treatment for sleep apnea. Sleeping with a CPAP machine, which includes a face mask, tubing and a constantly running motor, however, can be difficult to adjust to. According to the AADSM, up to 50 percent of sleep apnea patients do not comply with or tolerate CPAP. Alternative Solutions From a Dentist Dentists pioneered the use of oral appliance therapy for the treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. For many, oral appliance devices are more comfortable to wear than a CPAP mask. The devices are also quiet, portable and easy to care for. Research suggests that oral appliance therapy can often equal CPAP in effectiveness and offers a higher patient compliance rate. “Dentists trained in dental sleep medicine work in conjunction with a sleep physician and recommend a specific oral appliance based on a patient’s needs,” said Dr. Demko. “The important thing for patients to remember is that effective oral devices are always custom fit by a dentist and may need adjustments over time to ensure maximum effectiveness.”
Oral appliance therapy is recommended for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Once a patient is diagnosed with primary snoring or obstructive sleep apnea by a board-certified sleep physician, a dentist trained in dental sleep medicine can provide treatment with oral
appliance therapy. There are more than 80 different styles of oral appliances that have received FDA clearance and the treatment is often covered by medical insurance. To find a local dentist who offers oral appliance therapy, visit www.LocalSleepDentist.com
Survey Reveals Myths About Back Pain (NAPSI)—People are so afraid of being told they will need surgery that they may not seek even the most basic help for their back pain. That’s a key finding of a recent member survey of an organization dedicated to improving spine care—the North American Spine Society (NASS). “It is heartbreaking to see that myths and an unnecessary fear of surgery are holding people back from getting even the most conservative help for their back pain,” said Joseph Cheng, MD, MS, associate professor of Neurological Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and NASS Public Affairs Committee chair. Most Don’t Need Surgery According to Cheng, the vast majority (90 percent) of people with back pain will get better without treatment or by using conservative treatments, such as anti-inflammatory medication, exercise, coping skills and physical therapy. Spine surgery is recommended in only about 1 percent of cases, with very specific diagnoses, after a more conservative course of treatment already has been tried. Back Pain Myths Despite these facts, patient concerns about potential surgery came up many times throughout the “9 for Spine” survey results. The survey shows that 66 percent of spine specialists surveyed believe that fear of possible treatments, including surgery, keeps their patients from seeking help for back pain. Many of their patients believe the myth that once you have spine surgery, you are
destined to have multiple spine surgeries. The survey also found that over 12 percent of patients wait more than 90 days from the onset of their back pain to seek help from a spine specialist—far longer than the recommended four to six weeks. Preventing Back Pain When asked what advice they would offer their patients to prevent back pain, 76 percent of the specialists surveyed stressed the importance of regular exercise and nearly 50 percent urged patients not to smoke. Said Dr. Cheng, “Right at the top of the list are common sense things like exercising regularly, not smoking, maintaining a healthy body weight and using proper body posture and mechanics when using electronic gadgets or lifting heavy objects.” The North American Spine Society’s 6,500 members are dedicated to providing the highest-quality spine care.

RECT LOW HEAT. Cook the ham, with the lid closed as much as possible, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham (not touching the bone) reaches 135° F, 1¼ to 2 hours (about 10 minutes per pound). Replenish the charcoal as needed to maintain a steady temperature, adding three to five lit briquettes to each pile every 45 minutes, along with the remaining drained wood chips. Meanwhile, make the glaze. 4. In a small saucepan combine the glaze ingredients and simmer over medium heat until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. 5. Glaze the ham during the last 30 minutes of cooking time. If the ham begins to look too dark, cover it with foil and stop glazing. Carefully transfer the ham from the foil pan to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Cut the ham into slices and serve warm. For more information and tips on smoke cooking, visit www.weber.com/smoke
