First Night Bradford will not be held this year due to the fi nancial inability to provide the quality and quantity of enter-tainment that our community is used to and expects. The First Night Bradford 501(c)3 status is currently on hold, pending documenta-tion of past years. This impaired our ability to receive the amount of corporate dona-tions that we have become accustomed to. It is important for us to state that the indi-vidual community support was outstand-ing. We cannot begin to thank everyone; individual and corporate, for the amaz-ing support they have shown this project for nearly two decades. The First Night Bradford committee would like to apolo-gize for the late release of this notifi cation, however we were working very diligently, until the very last moment, trying to fi nd a way to hold the Arts & Culture festival this year. We have begun the process of refi ling the past forms to get our Non-Profi t status back in good standing. And we have also obtained the assistance of a grant writer to help First Night Bradford obtain proper funding for the coming years. The First Night Bradford committee is now concen-trating their efforts on reorganizing and getting everything in line and scheduled for next year.

First Night Bradford Cancelled First Night Bradford would like to also make it known to anyone who made a do-nation for this year’s event and would like it refunded; they can contact us at First Night Bradford, PO Box 706, Bradford, PA 16701. Any unclaimed donations will

remain in the First Night Bradford ac-count to be used for next year. First Night Bradford would like to sin-cerely thank everyone who has had a hand in making First Night Bradford such an amazing experience for so many years.

“In Search For Peace ” -by Bob Perry Peace on Earth is being cried out for again this year as there is a heightened lack thereof for a growing number of people around the world. With little control by individuals in establishing peace as promised by world leaders it becomes more of a responsibility of each individual to establish and main-tain peace in the home, the community and the self. The search for Peace is after all an in-dividual task for each of us and needs to be recognized as such. Know that if there is trouble in your heart you will not fi nd peace. In your attempt to fi nd peace you will discover it is a full time job, as we are all tested con-stantly. Decisions that require checks as to the acceptability of thoughts and actions against individual moral and ethical code must be monitored to as-sure there is no compromising of the same. “What would Jesus do?” is the one standard question that is fail safe in keeping your direction in life a good one. Regardless of your religious affi lia-tion, or none at all, knowing the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and the love and peace he spread wherever he traveled and preformed miracles helps everyone. There is none to compare with him. In addition, following the Ten Com-mandments, which is not always easy to do, creates personal accountability for the life that you have lived while on the earth plane. For those that reach adulthood, refl ecting on 1st Corinthians 33:11 will give you a reference to check-ing on the things you are doing. “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” Simple things a child does that an adult should never do include such things as: lying; stealing; bearing false witness: taking up activities denied as a child like smoking, drinking alcohol, and using recreational drugs; etc. To fi nd peace in your mind, heart and soul there must be peace within your body, thus those things that nega-tively alter the chemistry of the body will prove to be detriments to fi nding peace. Through all the esoteric search-ing I have done in this lifetime the one inescapable thing I found is each of us is responsible for the life we live and are answerable for it.

The Day of Judgment will fi nd each of us having to answer for the life we lived, and do not be surprised if the fi rst entity we must answer to is the self. Be a peace seeker.

Happy To Be There

Bradford Journal PhotoKaine Meacham 5, son of Jon and Chel-sea Meacham, gives us a nice smile as he begins with one of the many delicious Christmas cookies and cupcakes in front of him. This was the day and hour ap-pointed for the Bradford VFW Post #212 children’s Christmas party, December 6th, presented by the Frances Sherman Ladies Auxiliary in the Events Center there. (See videos in gallery.)

We attended two events at the Bradford VFW Post #212 over the weekend. The fi rst was the annual children’s Christmas party presented by the Frances Sherman Ladies Auxiliary that drew parents, grand-parents, and children of all ages. Cook-ies, candy, and lots of presents were there in abundance, and of course, Santa Claus (Dean Meacham) was the center of atten-tion. The second event was the Christmas Bash & Benefi t Event to fund the VFW community chest and the general account. There were lots of regular raffl e winners including the grand prizewinners, Jerome and Tammy Tingley, who won a cart-ful of meat. We came away from these events with many pictures, some of which can be seen on the pages of this edition, the remainder to be found in the associ-ated photo gallery. We also took a video of during the children’s Christmas party that can be found in the gallery……..An-other photo taken for this week’s issue, records the Bradford American Legion Post’s $2,000.00 donation to The McK-ean County SPCA, designated for the new animal hospital be built there…….And to complete our rounds for this week’s photography, we visited the Foster Town-ship Municipal Building on December 7th during the last moments of this year’s 11th Annual Holiday Craft and Vendor Show. We took many photos and a couple of vid-eos that include most of the vendors locat-ed within the auditorium area, along the hallways, and inside the little rooms……..This week fi nds two more entries to our Christmas Magic Page. One is Kel’s Gifts, located at 111 Main Street, offering great prices for unique items, and the oth-er is Gabriel’s Bistro located at 88 Main Street. This newly opened restaurant of-fers European style, lunches, dinners, and more……..Our week was shattered by the unexpected death of our friend Nan-cy Lucco of the New Keystone, December 4th. She set a great example of calmness, regularity, and sensibility, in the otherwise frantic small business world of Bradford. And we will miss her, and her matter-of-fact approach to life……..It’s interest-ing that one of the justifi cations given by those who defend the inhuman ac-tivities of members of our CIA, is that everything they do is approved by our law and our courts. That was the same ap-proach taken by many of the highest-level Nazi war criminals in justifying their ruth-less inhuman torture of millions of Cath-olics, Jews, and dissidents during World War II. Inhuman behavior, as it applies to people in modern western civilizations, is well recognized, and cannot be mollifi ed by court order.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESIRS Pension Update: New Limits for 2015

-by Jason Alderman Is it ever too late to plan for retirement? No, as long as you’re willing to be thrifty and extend your working years and be mindful of your individual and employer-based retirement savings options. Build-ing a successful, comfortable retirement depends on a variety of individual factors, including where you live, how long you plan to work, your health and your other investments and assets. The IRS recently announced an update for your options, including cost-of-living adjustments that will give many taxpayers the advantage of putting more away dur-ing 2015. Here’s a summary: Regular contribution limits for 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal employee Thrift Savings Plan. Increased from $17,500 (for tax year 2014) to $18,000 (for tax year 2015). The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 in these plans is increased from $5,500 to $6,000. Contribution deadline: Dec. 31. Annual contribution limits, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). For both tra-ditional and Roth IRAs, the annual con-tribution limit is not subject to a cost-of-living adjustment and remains at $5,500. The over-50 catch-up contribution amount is $1,000. There are particular restrictions (http://www.irs.gov/publications/p590/in-dex.html) based on income levels, work-place retirement plan coverage among other issues. Contribution deadline: April 15. Higher 2015 income phase-out levels for traditional IRA contributions. For sin-gles covered by a workplace retirement plan, the 2015 cutoff is now increased to a modifi ed adjusted gross income (AGI) between $61,000 and $71,000. The IRS website details other signifi cant increases and updates in phase-out levels for mar-ried couples and singles. Higher 2015 income phase-out levels for Roth IRA contributions. The IRS website also updates higher phase-out levels for married and single taxpayers on its web-site. For married couples fi ling jointly, the 2015 level is now $183,000 to $193,000. Here’s what you can do if you’re in your 50s and you haven’t yet saved much for retirement: Get qualifi ed fi nancial advice. Organi-zations such as the Association for Finan-cial Counseling Planning and Education (http://members.afcpe.org/search), Certi-fi ed Financial Planner Board of Standards list qualifi ed fi nancial advisors, and your state CPA society can suggest tax profes-sionals in your area. Budget and downsize. Want to retire? Start living like a retiree while you’re still working. Most experts believe late start-ers (50 and over) need to put away at least

10 percent of gross income to start making headway. Create a realistic budget, trim debt and consider cheaper housing, trans-portation and lifestyle options. Take advantage of “catch-up” contribu-tion limits. Retirement savers over the age of 50 have the option to put more away not only in traditional and Roth IRAs but also 401(k) plans – not including SIM-PLE 401(k)s, 403(b) plans, SARSEP and 457(b) plans (see Annual contribution limits, IRAs above).

Keep working…strategically. If you’re lucky, you love your work or are in a posi-tion to change careers to one with better retirement savings options. If so, consult an expert on ways to keep earning and in-vesting effectively. Bottom line: The government’s cost-of-living adjustments will allow you to save more for retirement in 2015, but don’t wait until then to evaluate your goals to set – or reset – your retirement planning going forward.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEUnderstanding Breast Cancer

(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about is ever diagnosed with breast can-cer, there are three bits of good news you should know about: 1. Almost all breast cancers can be treated successfully if detected early. In fact, the fi ve-year survival rate for women with localized breast cancer is now 98 per-cent. 2. The more you know about the condi-tion, the better you can combat it. Here are a few facts: Risk factors include early menstrua-tion; late menopause; not having children; having a fi rst child after age 30; using oral contraceptives or estrogen replacement therapy; a close relative with breast can-cer; the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene; a high-fat diet; drinking more than two alcoholic drinks a day; and radiation exposure. The earliest sign may be an abnormal-ity found on a mammogram. Others may be a lump, thickening, swelling, distor-tion, tenderness, skin irritation, dimpling, or nipple pain or ulceration. Treatments include chemotherapy—medicine that gets rid of fast-growing cancer cells; radiation—strong energy rays aimed at the cancer cells to stop them from growing and spreading; surgery—to remove all or part of a tumor. 3. One of the best cancer hospitals in the country is the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. Its 14 specialized divisions feature a team of medical, research, nursing and support staff with expertise that translates into more advanced, focused care. The Center provides comprehensive multidisciplinary care, state-of-the-art technology, access to clinical trials, com-passionate care and medical expertise—all under one roof. Physicians there belong to Regional Cancer Care Associates, one of the largest professional hematology/on-cology groups, and the Breast Oncology Division received Disease-Specifi c Care Certifi cation from The Joint Commission, scoring perfectly with no recommenda-tions for improvement. It’s listed among the top 50 U.S. News and World Report Best Hospitals for Cancer and it’s dedicat-ed to diagnosis, treatment, management, research, screenings, preventive care, and survivorship of patients with all types of cancer. Unlike many cancer centers, the Breast Oncology Division at the Center, led by Dr. Stanley Waintraub, maintains a team of on-site full-time breast surgeons. The division’s multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment includes work-ing closely with a team of surgeons, ra-diologists, geneticists, pathologists, plas-tic surgeons, oncologists, nurses and

AICR HealthTalk-by Karen Collins, MS, RD, CDN

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Are beets really nutritious? A: Beets are a great nutrient-rich vegetable with low calorie content despite their sweet taste. They are an excellent source of folate, a B vitamin that is heart-healthy and, because of its role in producing and repairing DNA, seems to be part of our anti-cancer arsenal, too. The red color comes from compounds called betalains, which laboratory studies suggest could be both heart- and cancer-pro-tective. In animal studies, beets seem to inhibit carcinogen formation and in-crease production of immune cells and body enzymes that help fi ght cancer de-velopment. Whether cooked, canned or raw, beets provide an array of nutrients, including potassium and vitamin C. Gently home-cooked beets maintain much of the nutrition, and raw beets preserve even more of the heat-sensitive nutrients. Try them peeled and grated raw into salads for an added burst of color.Cooking beets is easy: leave about one inch of stem intact to minimize color loss while cooking, and roast them in the oven on their own or mixed with other vegetables, or steam them lightly. For best nutrient content, don’t overcook: keep roasting to 45 to 60 minutes and steaming to 15 minutes or less. Pop them out of their skin after cooking, perhaps wearing rubber gloves to avoid temporarily pink-colored fi ngers. Golden beets are less common, and though without the red betalain compounds, they provide lutein, a healthful carotenoid compound.

Bradford Journal PhotoOn a blustery cold day, December 3rd, members of the Bradford American Legion Club & Post #108 presented a $2,000.00 donation to the McKean County SPCA.

(Harrisburg )– PennDOT and the Pennsylvania State Police today urged motorists to “steer clear” of police, emergency responders, road crews and tow-truck operators while they carry out their duties. To draw additional attention to the “Steer Clear” law, PennDOT will dis-play a message from Dec. 6-13 on more than 200 electronic message signs across the state. The message will be displayed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. when-ever other traffi c alerts aren’t being dis-played. “Please remain aware and move over when fl ashing lights, fl ares, or emer-gency personnel appear on state road-ways,” PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. “This law is often ignored or disregarded due to speed, space or time. Let our workers, police and other responders focus on doing their jobs and returning home safely every day.” In October, a state police trooper was severely injured while removing de-bris from Route 119 in Westmoreland County. The marked patrol car was positioned so that it blocked the right lane of the roadway, moving traffi c into the left lane. As the trooper began re-moving the debris from the roadway an SUV approached the slowed traffi c from the rear and was unable to stop in time – striking the trooper. “When you see law enforcement personnel on a traffi c stop, assisting at a crash scene, or tending to a disa-bled motorist, please move over. If you cannot move over due to heavy traffi c, please reduce your speed and proceed with caution,” said State Police Com-missioner Frank Noonan. “Your life and that of the fi rst responder may de-pend on it.” Pennsylvania’s Steer Clear Law re-quires motorists to move to a lane that is not immediately adjacent to an emer-gency response area. Such areas include locations where police are making traf-

fi c stops, where highway or construc-tion workers are involved in emergency assistance, or where tow trucks are re-sponding to disabled vehicles. If drivers cannot move over because of traffi c or other conditions, they must proceed at a speed that is “reasonable and prudent,” according to the law. The law applies any time an emer-gency vehicle has its lights fl ashing and where road crews or emergency person-nel have lighted fl ares or have posted

PennDOT And State Police Urge Motorists To Steer Clear Of Emergency Responderssigns or other traffi c control devices. Failure to move over or slow down can result in a summary offense that carries a fi ne of up to $250. In addition, fi nes will be doubled for other traffi c violations occurring in these areas. If the violation leads to a fi rst responder being injured, a 90-day license suspen-sion could result. For more information on traffi c safe-ty in Pennsylvania, visit:

Get-tough-on-crime policies that mandated incarceration for decades have had an unplanned-for conse-quence: The number of elderly inmates in federal and state prisons is increas-ing far faster than growth overall. With those graying prisoners come all the problems associated with aging: de-mentia, incontinence, dental problems, chronic illness. In fact, aging acceler-ates in prison. Prisoners are deemed “elderly” at 55 by the National Com-mission on Correctional Health Care because inmates tend to be about 10 years older physiologically than their chronological age. “The fastest growing segment of the prison population is people aged 50 and older, and the states are not prepar-ing for them,” says Ralph Spinelli, a 74-year-old Ph.D. student at the Gold-man School of Public Policy, and a criminal justice reform activist. From 1995 to 2010, the number of prisoners aged 55 and older nearly quadrupled while prison populations overall grew just 42 percent, according to a Human Rights Watch report. “Even if you don’t care about the welfare of those inmates – and you should, because many of them will be getting released and returning to soci-ety – think about all the money you’re spending.”Failing to meet the physical, medical and nutritional needs of aging leads to more severe health conditions that re-quire expensive treatments, Spinelli points out. But what will be even more costly for states will be the fl ood of lawsuits from both advocacy groups and the prisoners themselves. Spinelli, who served prison time in the 1970s and the 1990s – the latter when he was in his 50s -- details his experiences in a new book, “Prison as Punishment,” (http://www.ralphspinel-li.com/). The story of his incarcerations in two different prison systems casts a light on policies that can lower recidi-vism and help parolees become produc-tive, law-abiding citizens. He offers these suggestions for ad-dressing our aging prison population: • Create a policy to mandate that prisoners get assigned lower bunks be-ginning at age 50. It’s diffi cult to climb up and down from a top bunk as you get older, and many older men tend to be up and down more often during the night as enlarged prostate glands require frequent urina-tion, Spinelli says. “Instituting that policy wouldn’t start a riot -- the younger guys aren’t go-ing to get angry about it. And after it

3 Tips For Addressing the Growing Elderly Prison PopulationSimple Strategies Will Save Tax Dollars While Addressing Basic Needs, Says Ex-Con Doctoral Candidate

has been in place a little while, it just becomes the way things are,” Spinelli says. Such a policy would also be a simple way to acknowledge inmates’ human-ity -- something that’s lacking in prison and has a detrimental effect on rehabili-tation, he says. • Allow inmates to buy, or families to send, special personal hygiene items. No prison that Spinelli knows of al-lows inmates to purchase adult incon-tinence pads at the canteen, or to have their family send them. It’s not that they’re trying to be cru-el -- they just don’t think about those things,” Spinelli says. “It’s younger people running the prisons.” In order to allow a new item, admin-istrators have to plan protocol for eve-rything from how to determine who’s eligible, perhaps requiring a doctor’s prescription, to how to dispose of them. “All of that can be done, of course, but until someone realizes items like Depends are needed, it won’t be done.” • Provide basic preventive medical care. While prison infi rmaries address ill-ness, injury and acute health issues, they don’t generally screen for prob-lems that become more common as we age. “In California, a woman has to have a detectable lump in her breast to get a mammogram,” Spinelli says. While he was in prison in the 1990s, he recognized he had a number of pros-

tate cancer systems. He requested a common lab test that serves as a screen-ing for prostate cancer and was denied. “When I got out, I had prostate can-cer,” he says. “I’ve had 13 surgeries and it has metastasized.” Spinelli says the measures he sug-gests don’t have to cost a lot and in some cases, would cost nothing. Pro-viding some preventive medical care will help avoid expensive, taxpayer-funded treatments, whether in prison or when older inmates are released. It will also prevent time- and money-draining litigation that states can ill afford. “We send people to prison as pun-ishment, not for punishment,” Spinelli says. “Growing old in prison is punish-ment enough.”

About Ralph Spinelli Ralph Spinelli, (www.ralphspinelli.com), is prison reform activist work-ing on his Ph.D. at the University of California Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy. At 61, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of San Francisco, and deliv-ered the commencement speech during his graduation. He also earned a Mas-ter of Fine Arts degree in non-fi ction writing from St. Mary’s College of Cali-fornia. Spinelli, a retired executive with a major hotel/casino company in Ne-vada, served prison terms in the 1970s and the 1990s. He recently published “Prison as Punishment,” a revealing memoir about life in two very different prison systems.

Choose Spray Foam For Lower Energy Bills And A Cozier Home This Winter

(NAPSI)—With the chill of winter settled in across much of the country, keeping homes warm while also main-taining manageable energy bills is a major concern for homeowners. Install-ing spray polyurethane foam (SPF) in-sulation may ease these concerns. SPF offers a continuous seal for your home that in addition to providing a layer of insulation can help prevent drafts and offers improved control of indoor temperatures. It is so effective because it is applied as a liquid and

then expands into foam insulation and air sealant, which keeps cold air out by sealing cracks, seams and joints. Be-cause of added insulation and less heat loss due to drafts and cracks, less en-ergy may be needed for heating during the cold winter months. Other benefi ts of SPF insulation in-clude: • By reducing air leaks, SPF can im-prove moisture control to help reduce mold and mildew formation. • Sealing gaps with SPF provides a barrier to the exterior and helps keep pollen and dust outside. • SPF insulation in walls and attics can help minimize noise by reducing both high- and low-frequency noise. It is always recommended to hire a professional installer when using SPF to insulate and air-seal exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces and basements. To learn more about SPF’s benefi ts, visit www.whysprayfoam.org

Braised Beef BrisketThis recipe has graced the holidaytable of the Simon family, the ownersof Omaha Steaks, for generations.Prep time: 30 minutesCook time 8 hoursServings: 6–8

1 Omaha Steaks Brisket (3 pounds)

2 tablespoons canola oil4 teaspoons Omaha Steaks All

Natural Seasoning2 cups diced yellow onion 2 tablespoons fresh chopped

garlic 1 cup bottled chili sauce1 package dry onion soup mix

1/2 cup beef broth1/4 cup soy sauce1/2 cup red wine

Thaw brisket overnight in refrigerator.Heat canola oil in large pan.Blot brisket dry with clean paper towel and

generously season each side with 2 teaspoonsseasoning.

Brown brisket in hot oil on both sides forabout 2–4 minutes each side. Remove brisketfrom pan and place in crock pot, raised sidebraising pan or Dutch oven.

Add onion and garlic to hot oil and cookuntil trans parent. Add remaining ingredientsand bring to a boil. Pour sauce into crock pot,raised side braising pan or Dutch oven.

If using crock pot, cook on low for 6–8hours. If using braising pan or Dutch oven,cover tightly with foil or lid and place in oven at 250°F for 6–8 hours.

Serve the same day or cool overnight in refrigerator before slicing and reheating in sauce.

� Braising (from the French word“braiser”) is a combination cookingmethod that uses both moist and dryheats. Typically, the food is firstseared at a high temperature, thenfinished in a covered pot or pan at alower temperature while sitting insome amount of liquid, which mayalso add flavor.

� The purpose of braising is to breakdown the connecting tissues,enhancing the meat’s tenderness.

� Some examples of cuts that aretypically braised include:

� Chuck (Chuck Eye Roast, ChuckArm Roast, Chuck ShoulderRoast, Short Ribs)

� Brisket (Whole Brisket, BrisketFlat Roast, Brisket Point Roast)

� Shank (Cross Cut Shanks, WholeBeef Shanks)

� Round (Top Round Roast, BottomRound Roast, Eye Round Roast,Boneless Rump Roast)

� First brown your roast using a largepan and some oil over high heat,seasoning the protein first.

� Once the roast is browned, “deglaze”the pan using wine or some of theliquid that will be used in the braisingprocess, to capture drippings fromthe pan that are loaded with flavor.

� Once the roast is browned you willwant to place it, along with all theliquid including the pan drippings,in a Dutch oven or deep roastingpan. It is very important to coverthe top of the pan as tightly aspossible so steam and pressure willbuild up during the oven cookingprocess.

� The liquid for the braising processcan vary depending on the dishyou’re trying to make. For example,barbecue sauce would be used for abarbecue brisket, and beef brothwould be used for a pot roast.Usually if using a thick liquid suchas barbecue sauce you will want tothin it down with wine, broth orwater. It will thicken as it cooks,and if it gets too thick it will burn.

� You can also experiment withputting root vegetables in thebraising pan along with your roastto create a complete meal andenhance the flavor.

� The oven part of the process isusually done at 250°F and can vary in time from 3 to 8 hours,depending on what cut is beingbraised and how big it is. A generalrule of thumb is that the proteinwill shred easily with a fork when it is properly braised.
