Two new trails have been added to the Tuna Valley Trail System. There are now nine trails bringing the total to 31 miles for walking, hiking and biking enjoyment.

The two new trails are the “Marilla Rocks Trail” and the “Blaisdell-Emery Trail.”

The Marilla Rocks trail is two miles in length and starts off Route 346, about one mile past the Marilla Reservoir.

The total revenues are projected at $35,736,498; expenses are $36,621,279; and a surplus transfer of $884,781, making for a balanced budget. In the coming school years, the district will be purchasing three new 72-passenger buses; and will fund year two of the replacement of the track and the turf; will continue to fund retirement stabilization; and will maintain all athletic programs. In other business, the board created two new positions - district wide principal for curriculum/assessment and federal programs/grant director.

COMMENTS AND OPINIONS 5 ¢ENTS WORTH

by Grant Nichols

For our photos this week, we visited the third and fourth grade classroom at the Bradford Area Christian Academy (BACA) and a couple of fifth grade classrooms at School Street Elementary School.

The students there, aware that less than three week’s remained of the school year, were in a good mood for posing. In addition, we have included the photos showing yet another contestant (Rob Esch) in the ongoing man vs. food competition at Monte’s Restaurant……..While we usually argue against controlling the flow of automobiles and pedestrians with traffic lights, stops signs, parking meters and one way streets, this week we’re arguing for such intervention. It seems that the availability of parking on Kennedy Street, between Main and Boylston has gone from bad to worse. Before the sidewalk and street renovation there, it was possible to put an hour’s worth of time on the parking meters along the street and stop in at a restaurant along Kennedy or Main and have a bite to eat. Or, on having fed the meter, it was possible to go into Cavallaro’s emporium and spend some time planning, perusing through the different departments, or going through the JC Penney’s catalogue. Now-days it’s still possible to do the same, only if one of the ten paid parking meters on the street is still available, and then, only if we set our personal timers for a measly 30 minutes. That’s right, the maximum time available on the meter is just 30 minutes- thirty minutes to go into a restaurant, order, wait for the food and eat it! Granted, that’s enough time for a martini lunch (makes us wonder who decided on the maximum parking time allowed), but it’s not enough time to do more than pick up a lunch by going through a busy lunchtime drive through lane at a fast food restaurant (which makes us wonder once again if it wasn’t a silent partner in McDonalds that decided on the maximum time for parking on Kennedy Street).

Our suggestion (g-d forbid we should be struck by a bolt of lightning for suggesting traffic control) is to make Kennedy Street between Main and Boylston Street a one way, one lane street, allowing parking on both sides. This would give that section of the street ten more parking spaces. In addition, we suggest that the parking meters on that area of the street be adjusted to allow for at least an hour for conducting our business before returning to our parking location.

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

Preparing For Trip

-by Vince Vicere Our Worst Fears

Everyone’s worst fear came true when a major oil rig fire followed by the well blowing out, created a massive crude oil spill and ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The rig was owned by Transocean, leased by BP, and recently serviced

by Halliburton. While eleven members of its staff were killed, the initial announcement by BP that they had every thing under control was certainly an understatement. The so called safety blow out valves failed and by the fourth week, crude oil by the thousands of barrels poured into the gulf. Not only is this catastrophe destroying the proximal and extended ecological environments, it’s also sure to inflict immeasurable economic damage to the gulf economy in the sectors that include tourism, the fishing industry, and sports fishing- all upon which the area leans heavily for its financial wellbeing.

Ironically, at the time of the explosion the companies involved were receiving awards for record setting safety. Individuals who witnessed the congressional hearings watched in dismay when the CEO’s of Halliburton, BP, and Transocean wouldn’t accept responsibility for the root cause of the blowout, each blaming the other. President Obama made it clear that he felt their behavior to be insufferable and that they should instead be working on a solution to fix the leak pronto, to minimize the ecological and economic damage to the gulf.

So much for the Tea Baggers insistence that government should bug out of the business of private enterprise. It should be obvious to all, that industry is not selfregulating. First, the financial industry led us into a deep depression after years of deregulation, and now the oil industry has shown that without the strict rod of government, expensive safety measures will be overlooked. Given that big oil, supporting industries and regulatory agencies together set the stage for the chain of events that culminated in this disaster, it’s now time for them to seize the opportunity to make sure the systems become fail-safe for future drilling.

AREA & REGIONAL NEWS PennDOT Offers Safety Tips

Karen’s Korner -by Karen Cassin

State Farm® Agent

Saving For College Since State Farm has entered the field of financial services, I’m talking with more families about planning for the future.

While families almost always want to talk about retirement, their most immediate concern is saving for their children’s college education. This is wise as a college education will, in most cases, be a family’s second largest expense after home ownership, so it deserves careful planning. Rising college costs make saving even more important.

According to The College Board, Trends in College Pricing 2008, the average published total charges, including tuition, fees and room and board for in-state students at public four-year colleges and universities in 2008-09 are $14, 333, 5.7 percent higher than 2007-08. For private four-year colleges and universities, the same total charges are $34,132, 5.6 percent higher than a year earlier.

If those numbers don’t make you want to start putting money aside, I don’t know what will. The good news is that with sound planning and a long-term outlook you have the potential, over the course of 18 years, to build up a nice college nest egg. State Farm offers very affordable, simple options you can begin taking advantage of today, including tax-advantaged savings vehicles, to help you reach your college savings goal.

You’d be surprised how even small amounts on a regular basis can make a big difference. For example, an account in which you save $150 per month could create a nest egg of $47,337 after 18 years.

This calculation assumes a monthly investment in an account earning 4 percent annually for 18 years and does not take in to account any taxes or fees. It is also assumed that no withdrawals are made from the account.

As with any investment, saving for college takes preparation, some guidance and, in many cases, sacrifice. Americans have traditionally been more than willing to make that sacrifice to secure a better future for their children. By setting up a plan with earning potential, we can help our children fulfill their learning potential.

There is no assurance that any investment will achieve its investment objectives. The information presented in this document does not constitute tax advice.

Please consult your tax advisor for specific information about your tax situation, including any state tax consequences of an investment.

Adults and Children Need to Practice Safe Riding Behaviors (Harrisburg) – Noting that bicyclist fatalities in Pennsylvania increased in 2009, PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E. is reminding children and adults of important tips to ensure safety while riding.

According to PennDOT, 16 bicyclists lost their lives last year, including four children under the age of 18 -- an increase from eight bicyclists who were killed in 2008. In addition, more than 550 riders under the age of 18 were injured in crashes in 2009.

“Riding a bike is great exercise, but any time you ride along a road, even a neighborhood street, you need to keep safety in mind,” Biehler said. “Bicyclists need to be responsible by following some basic safety advice, including being visible to motorists and

being predictable in their actions. Motorists also need to remember to watch for bicyclists and share the road with them.”

Before getting on a bicycle, everyone should consider receiving training in the skills necessary to ride safely on the road.

Once bicyclists are ready to ride, they should make sure bikes are equipped with reflectors, a white headlight and a bell or horn. Riders should also wear brightly-colored clothing when riding, especially near dusk.

The safest place to ride is along the right side of the road with traffic. Riders should stay in a straight line whenever possible and keep about a car-door width away from parked vehicles.

In addition, bicycle riders must obey all traffic signs and

•Drivers should use extra caution while entering the construction area from the on-ramp areas. Watch for slow moving and stopped vehicles through the entire work zone and obey posted speed limits.

PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions before heading out.

signals. Just as they would do when crossing a street, riders should look left, right and then left again before entering an intersection.

PennDOT also recommends signaling your intentions before proceeding so that motorists have a chance to react.

Bicyclists also should avoid distractions – such as cell phone or headphone use – or anything else that could interfere with their vision, hearing or focus on the road.

PennDOT also reminds parents and guardians about the importance of teaching children safe riding behaviors from a young age.

“Pennsylvania has a variety of bicycling opportunities for the family, such as Rails to Trails and the BicyclePA routes,” Biehler said. “Regardless of where you are riding, parents should pay close attention to younger children who are more likely to be impulsive.”

Parents are also re-

minded that Pennsylvania law mandates that children under 12 must wear an approved safety helmet.

However, PennDOT suggests all bicyclists, regardless of age, wear an approved helmet and other protective gear.

Finally, PennDOT offers these additional tips for safe riding: •Adjust your bicycle to fit. The seat height should be adjusted to allow a slight bend at the knee when the leg is fully extended.

The handlebar height should be at the same level with the seat.

•Make sure tires are inflated properly and your brakes work before you leave.

•Always ride with at least one hand on the handlebars.

•Watch for road hazards such as potholes or broken glass.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Just A Bite Of Dessert? Make It With Blueberries!

(NAPSI)-No matter what they say, when it comes to dessert, size matters.

Keeping portion size under control is easy when you make “Blueberry-Lemon Teasers.” Use convenient products--fresh blueberries, frozen pound cake, and instant pudding--and your little desserts are easy and quick to make.

Get started by rinsing the blueberries then pat dry. Whip up the instant pudding and set it aside. Now make cake crumbs.

One way to do it fast is to cut off about one-third of a 10.75-ounce frozen pound cake and, with the coarse side of a grater, grate crumbs into a bowl. Or chop the cake into pieces and pulse in a food processor until you have coarse crumbs. If you want to make crumbs from homemade cake, freeze it first for easier handling.

To assemble the desserts, line up six small glasses and stack about two tablespoons each of the cake, the pudding and the fresh blueberries in the glasses; repeat until all the ingredients are used. A spoonful of whipped cream tops them off.

Serve the “Blueberry-Lemon Teasers” immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Dessert is ready when you are and at just 172 calories per serving, you can kick back and enjoy a guilt-free dessert that delivers plenty of flavor with creamy texture and juicy blueberries in every bite.

Summer is blueberry season and a good time to enjoy fresh blueberries every day.

Blueberries can be found in supermarkets, superstores, farmers markets and roadside stands. At www.nabcblues.org/upick. htm or www.pickyourown.org you can find a list of U-Pick blueberry farms. For loads of blueberry recipes, nutrition information and more, go to: www.blueberrycouncil.org BLUEBERRY-LEMON TEASERS 1¾ cups low-fat milk 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix 2 cups fresh blueberries 1½ cups crumbs (about 4 ounces) from frozen reduced-fat pound cake ½ cup sweetened whipped cream In medium bowl with electric mixer or wire whisk, blend milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes; set aside for 5 minutes to set. Into six 6-ounce glasses, evenly divide half of the cake crumbs, pudding and blueberries; repeat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, top with a swirl of whipped cream.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE Guided Reading And Story Charts With Maps

Bronchitis Or Pneumonia?

Question:I had a cold recently that traveled down into my chest. I went to the doctor and was told that I had bronchitis. My wife, however, argues that I must have pneumonia since I am coughing so much. Are bronchitis and pneumonia very different, and what are the distinguishing factors that tell them apart? Finally, it seems like both illnesses are treated the same way, so how much does it really matter which one you have?

Answer: As you well know, pneumonia and bronchitis are both illness that affect the lungs and bronchial tubes. Although many of the symptoms are similar, indeed, they are very different diseases.

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, the twin passages that connect the trachea to each lung. The symptoms can be quite severe and they can also persist in what we call chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is a type of ongoing obstructive lung disease. It is usually cause by smoking or long-term exposure to cigarette smoke, and it can last for several months.

For this comparison, we will focus on the acute (not chronic) bronchitis, because that sounds more like what you are describing.

Acute bronchitis and pneumonia can both be caused by either viruses or bacteria, meaning that they often start out as a cold or flu, but not always. Both can also be caused by prolonged or intensive exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, chemicals or severe dust. Both illnesses can cause a persistent cough. Finally, both illnesses typically last for at least a week and sometimes up to two.

The cough that stems from bronchitis is usually dry in the early days, but then you begin to cough up yellow or green mucus. The cough can be quite harsh and cause pain in the chest wall and, eventually, sore stomach muscles. Wheezing is usually prominent in acute bronchitis. Often, these symptoms accompany those of the cold that preceded it. Bronchitis patients do not usually have a fever, but they may experience mild shortness of breath.

It may surprise you that pneumonia may cause a cough: but not always. When it does, the coughing typically produces mucus from the onset. Also, pneumonia patients usually experience a fever of over 101 degrees farenheit. They also have some difficulty taking a deep breath, and they are slightly short of breath.

Acute bronchitis and pneumonia can occur at any age, but both illnesses tend to be worse in smokers, elderly people, or people of any age who have other chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.

Blood tests and x-rays may be needed

Q: Why do registered dietitians recommend beans as a protein source when they are considered an incomplete protein?

A: Beans offer many advantages as a protein source. They are considered “incomplete” or “low biologic value” because content of one or more particular amino acids (the building blocks of protein) is low. However, grain products such as bread, rice, pasta and tortillas have plenty, and beans supply the amino acid lacking in grains. Evidence now shows that you don’t have to eat the beans and grains in the same meal; as long as you get a few servings of grains throughout the day, you will get complete protein over all. Beans are recommended because they are top sources of dietary fiber, which can lower blood cholesterol levels and may reduce risk of colorectal cancer. They’re also excellent sources of many of the nutrients lacking in typical U.S. diets, including potassium, vitamin B-6 and magnesium, as well as natural plant compounds that are powerful antioxidants. Beans are a great source of folate, protecting against birth defects when consumed before and during pregnancy and keeping our DNA healthy to lower cancer risk. About a third of the starch in beans is called “resistant starch,” which is fermented by our normal gut bacteria to produce butyrate, a compound that seems to promote healthy colon cells less likely to develop into cancer. In addition to all these nutritional benefits, beans to differentiate between the two illnesses.

If the infection is viral, usually supportive care is all that is needed for treatment of either. If the infection is bacterial, antibiot-

are among the most economical forms of protein and they are more environmentally friendly than relying on meat and other animal foods for all our protein.

Q: Do those elastic tubes and bands really work for strength training?

A: Yes. Elastic tubes and bands are now available for virtually all levels of strength training, and they’re inexpensive and easily stored.You need to use the right band or tube to match your strength level and the particular muscle group being exercised (chest presses, for example, need more resistance than the arm curls that exercise your upper arms). When working with an elastic tube or band, you secure it under your feet or around a heavy piece of furniture or a pole.

Focus on squeezing the muscle in use when you encounter resistance as you pull on the tube/band and as you return to starting position. Just as when strength-training with free weights or stationary machines, good posture and proper technique is important to appropriately work the muscle and to avoid injury.You can use many of the same exercises you may have learned with other forms of strength training, but if you haven’t received instruction, it’s best to learn good technique by meeting with a certified fitness trainer at a local facility. If this isn’t possible, check out a recognized fitness organization’s DVD or website. For example, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) offers a free suggested routine with elastic tubing.

ics are usually prescribed. Based on your specific medical history and illness, your physician will determine the right treatment plan for you.

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE MAY 20 - MAY 26, 2010

ARIES - (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) The week begins with a stunning New Moon in your sector of finances.

So if you visit a church or local spring fete, do buy that raffle ticket.

TAURUS - (Apr. 20 - May 20) This is your special opportunity to dazzle! Why? Because the heavens are pouring genuine stardust upon you Taurus.

GEMINI - (May 21 - June 20) Finances show signs of an improvement, but you may have to be canny.

Sometimes tactics are important.

CANCER - (June 21 - July 22) With a highly positive New Moon, one which emboldens you, plus the arrival of Venus in your sign later this week, this can be a time when things start to click into place.

LEO - (July 23, - Aug. 22) Have you been so caught up in career and professional considerations that more personal needs have taken a backseat?

VIRGO - (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Your desire to fly freely is laudable - especially if you are one of those Virgo’s who usually tends to put duty before pleasure.

LIBRA - (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Are you pleased with some of the instinctive moves you’ve recently made? Or does it feel that these have caused a storm which is yet to totally settle down?

SCORPIO - (Oct. 23, - Nov. 21) You’ll be able to see all sorts of issues more clearly this week, and if you have been waiting to unblock any log jams, the chances are, the opportunity to do so will emerge.

SAGITTARIUS - (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) There is a really positive celestial breeze blowing in your direction.

However, coercion will not prove to be a useful tactic around finances.

CAPRICORN - (Dec. 21 - Jan. 19) A romantic involvement can reach a tipping point. If there have been recent spats, if you can agree to disagree, this could be a time of very positive new beginnings .

AQUARIUS - (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) If the foundation stones in our lives are well established, so the structure that goes up above them, is robust and durable. Just don’t let someone close, subtly guilt-trip you.

PISCES - (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Venus moves into a delicious area of your Solar horoscope this week, ideal to ramp up the temperature in your love life. Yet is someone all they seem? As much as attraction can be a massive factor, think too of emotional suitability.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGE Celebrate Older Family Members During May Older Americans Month is a great opportunity to celebrate and honor our seniors. The month-long celebration this May also provides an occasion to highlight the need for mid-life and older family members to make thoughtful choices than can help them remain healthy, productive, and financially secure in their later lives.

One advantage to getting older is that

you’re likely to be able to handle everyday stress better. Older adults appear to do, on the average, a much better job of dealing with the daily stressors in life, says Dr. David M. Almeida of Penn State University. “This may be due to a lifetime of having stressors and developing good strategies to deal with them. We also have some evidence that shows older adults are more

in tune with their emotions than younger adults.”

Younger adults are less effective in regulating their emotions. They often let their emotions take over in stressful situations. They have more heated discussions and arguments, they engage in more physical displays of anger. If an older adult experiences a stressor and sees it has some emotional input, she is more likely to take steps to remedy the stressor.

Dr. Almeida is studying the health effects of everyday stressors of life such as arguing with your children, having a sick spouse or dealing with a deadline at work, in contrast to major life events such as divorce and job loss. These daily stressors have health implications and it’s possible these stressors might interfere with the adult doing healthy things such as eating properly and exercising. Everyone who eats when under stress knows this to be true.

Researchers have found that younger persons have more stressors and are more likely to report physical and emotional reactions to them. Younger persons have more interpersonal tensions than older persons. In mid-life people have more overloads and too little time.

Older individuals, those age 60 and older, were more likely to have stressors that occur to other people in their lives, such as Bradford Journal Photo having a child with a problem or a spouse During guided reading, these fifth grade students in Mrs. Baldwin’s class at School who is sick.

Older people Hannah Florentine, Nic Spencer, and Rachel Close. spend more time sharing information on the health of friends and family and discussing health conditions, medications, etc.

Most of us are aware that stress affects our health, but we may still be blinded when our own lives and health are involved. Typically as we age, we become more aware of how stress impacts our health and we become better at not getting caught up in the drama of the event. Many older adults make an effort to stay away from stressful situations. For those older adults who have no choice, they often find ways to cope with the stressor such as developing a network of people to provide help.
