5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“The Constituent” -by Bob Perry

Seemingly lost in the battle of rights is that of the constituent. A constituent is a legal resident with the ability to cast a vote for a candidate giving authorization to act as a representative in government. Being the source of power for our form of government, constituents over time have seen their infl uence in gov-erning continually being reduced once the votes have been counted. The elected are granted the privileged power of represent-ing the constituents and were suppose to be the only ones the elected were answer-able to. This right took on a much differ-ent face through the infl uence created by legislative and often litigated infl ux of fi -nancial support from other than individual constituents. There are numerous adjec-tives that describe what the constituents have become and non seem to describe it better than ’apathy’. The feelings of apa-thy (a lack of caring) are generated by nu-merous means usually outside the control of the constituent. Constituents that usually vote become non-voters as they form a disillusion (apa-thy) over the political process and/or poli-ticians in general. Some who continue to vote get lazy and vote for the fi rst name they see or recognize just to get it over with. The feelings of ‘my vote doesn’t matter’ is a powerful one because in re-

ality ‘one vote’ versus the difference in votes refl ects that ‘one vote’ makes no dif-ference. The ‘one vote’ not cast by large numbers of would-be voters indeed makes a difference giving the ’right of assembly’ an important role in having like minds supporting positions and candidates and getting the vote out. Apathy in the voting process seems to be contagious. The lack of interest in voting in elections peaks in voting districts in which the overwhelm-ing one political party or the other and fo-cusing on the predictable outcome over-rides the urge to voice the opinion of a vote. Once the vote is cast the constituent faces a sense of detachment as responses from all too many representatives is in the form of a general response with thanks for the contact and a guarantee the submitted suggestion will be taken into considera-tion. Not any guarantee in most cases heed-lessness becomes evidence the lack of caring of the representative. 2016 needs to be a year in which constituents need to fi nd ways which can start changes to improve the representative process eliminating outside infl uences. It would be a positive to have candi-dates do more knocking on doors seek-ing the support of individuals in the form of votes and campaign fi nance.

In past years, during the end of the year holiday season, the Bradford American Legion Club and Post #108 distribute socks to veterans who are residents of area nursing and as-sisted living homes. This year was no different, and while our photographer was only available for part of the dis-tribution, our readers will fi nd many pictures that refl ect the Legionnaire’s activity on the pages of this issue of the Bradford Journal and in the associated photo gallery……..Our apologies to the grandparents of Wyatt Burkett, Brian and Dianne Boser, who were incorrectly identifi ed (as Glenn and Barb Boser) within the top left front page caption line of our issue of De-cember 17th. For those who noticed and are concerned about the error of our ways, we say “Roses by any other name smell as sweet.” For those who noticed and weren’t concerned, we say bravo (mistakes happen), and for those who didn’t notice because they didn’t read the caption or because they don’t know the Bosers, this exposure of our er-ror can serve as a lesson on how easily well intended efforts can go sour………So far, we like the approach taken by Governor Wolf in trying to pass a sound budget for the citizens of Pennsylva-nia. His proposed budget that has been bounced around and criticized by the State Assembly and Senate was, after all, based directly upon the election platform that garnered him a landslide election. While it is maddening that there is still, for all prac-tical purpose, no fair and balanced budget, his line item veto allowing funding for schools and human services operations, is commendable. We hope he holds out long enough to force our other elected repre-sentatives to put a lid on annual infrastruc-tural defi cits through suffi cient funding of State coffers….….Mark your calendars for another Vet Jam to be held at the VFW Events Center, Saturday, Janu-ary 16th. See bands such as Dog Day Sun Rise, Mid night Special, Vapor, Good-Bye Dawn, Fracture, Grave Dodgers, Counter-feit, and Marshmellow Overcoat as well as Acoustic Acts such as Megan Prosser, Acoustic Brew Crew, Mollie Hollebeke, and No-Name Duo. ……..As a reminder, tickets for the N’Demand Production to be held at the Bradford Area High School from 4-6PM, Thursday, Decem-ber 31st, and Buttons for admission to all other fi rst night venues and activities will be available for reasonable prices at the door. Take advantage of some great all day and evening entertainment to usher in the New Year. (See posters for First Night Bradford events in our online edition: www.bradfordjournal.com)

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES

Create a Financial Calendar for the New Year -by Nathaniel Sillin

When was the last time you made a fi nancial resolution on New Year’s Eve? If you can’t remember, you’re in good company. The Allianz Life Insurance Com-pany of North America’s annual New Year’s resolutions survey (https://www.allianzlife.com/about/news-and-events for 2014 reported that 49 percent of re-spondents said that health and wellness were their fi rst priorities for the coming year, up from 43 percent in 2013. Only 30 percent ranked fi nancial stability as their top goal for the year. In 2016, maybe it’s time to push fi -nancial fi tness to the top of your list by creating an annual fi nancial calendar that helps you save, spend and invest a little smarter. Here are some sugges-tions to build your calendar: Set three important money goals for the year. Three money goals may not sound like a lot, but if you’ve never thought about money goals before, es-tablishing these targets can make a ma-jor difference in your fi nancial life. Set goals that address key money concerns or serve as a springboard for a solid fi nancial future. Choose what makes sense for you, but here are three basic goals to start with: • Create or reset your budget. If you’ve never made a budget before, spend a month or two tracking every-thing you spend. Review your fi ndings closely and see whether you’re spend-ing less than you earn. If not, determine if you can cut spending to direct more funds to meet key goals. If you already have a budget, consider reevaluating your fi nances to see where you could cut costs. • Build an emergency fund. An emergency fund (http://www.practi-calmoneyskills.com/emergencyfund) contains between three to six months of living expenses you can draw upon only in a real fi nancial emergency such as unemployment, illness or a major unplanned expense. • Save for something special. Make one of your three goals a fun goal – a vacation, a new bike, a wardrobe up-grade – something that feels like a re-ward. Here are calendar items that might help you reach those goals. Make sure you note staggered re-ceipt dates for each of your three free credit reports (https://www.annual-creditreport.com) from Experian, Tran-sUnion and Equifax so you can keep a steady eye on your credit and spot ir-regularities if they happen.

Prevent severe money surprises by marking key repair or replacement dates on home, appliance and other personal expenses that might be com-ing up in the future. Use the time you have now to schedule inspections and estimates for each so you’ll be able to start setting aside funds in advance. Retirement readiness is another key calendar item. At least once a year, con-sider reviewing your holdings in retire-ment or investment accounts to make sure they’re still performing as you’ve planned or if not, whether you need to restructure the investments in your portfolio. Put the open enrollment dates for employer- or self-employment benefi ts on your calendar and then mark a date several weeks before to allow you to start thinking through necessary chang-es. The way you choose employer or self-employment benefi ts is a key part of your fi nancial planning and should intersect with other independent money decisions you’re making for yourself and your family. Insurance renewal dates are impor-tant to mark as well. If you’re not com-parison-shopping for the auto, home-owners or health insurance coverage you buy on your own, there’s a good possibility you’re losing out on money, service or coverage. Set two dates each year to review your overall fi nances. You might con-

sider dates in June and November to see how you’re doing with budget, savings, spending, investment and tax issues. The June date is for corrective actions; the November date is to deter-mine the last-minute spending, savings or tax moves you want to make before December 31 and to set fi nancial goals for the New Year. If you work with a qualifi ed fi nancial or tax expert, con-sider involving him or her in the con-versation. Bottom line: If you use a calendar or datebook to keep on schedule, add important money dates and activities so you can meet your lifetime fi nancial goals.

Time-Saving Slow Cooking (NAPSI)—On those busy days when you don’t have much time, a slow cook-er can be the solution to getting a hot, wholesome meal on the table. Simply add all the ingredients in the morning, turn on the device, and you get to come home to a wholesome, hot meal, espe-cially good on chilly days. So many recipes, especially ones for slow cookers, soups, stews, and roasts call for an onion. That is because on-ions stand up to slow cooking and en-hance the fl avor of everything cooked with them. Onions are one of the most versatile vegetables. Use these tips for buying and storing them. Choose onions with dry outer skins, free of spots or blemishes. They should be fi rm and have no scent. Avoid bulbs that have begun to sprout. Not sure what color to use? Really, you can use all three any way you like, but these guidelines will help. Yellow onions are all-purpose, great raw or cooked. Most well-known sweet onions are yellow. Red onions are best for roasting or grilling. White onions are commonly used in Mexican and Italian cuisine, prepared salads, and sauces. Whole, unpeeled, onions should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight. Lack of air circulation will reduce their storage life. Do not store with potatoes. Cut onions should be refrigerated and can be stored in a sealed container for up to 7 days. Here’s a recipe that will appeal to

both children and adults: It’s a fresh take on classic onion soup that com-bines onions with apples.

Slow Cooker French Onion Country Apple Soup with

Cinnamon Cheese Toast

Serves 4-6

¼ cup olive oil4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings3 apples, peeled and diced3 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons all-purpose fl our5 cups low-sodium beef broth½ cup apple cider1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce1 teaspoon brown sugar½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon dried thyme½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground6 slices French bread, cut ½-¾-inch thick1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1½ cups hickory-smoked Gruyère cheese, shredded6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crum-bled (optional)

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion slices and cook on medium heat until transparent, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. Add apples and garlic; stir un-til warmed through. Transfer the onion-apple mixture to a slow cooker and add in beef broth, apple cider, Worcester-shire sauce, brown sugar, salt, thyme and black pepper. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Before serving, place French bread slices on a baking sheet. Top each with ¼ cup Gruyère cheese, sprin-kle lightly with cinnamon and broil for 1-2 minutes, until just browned. Gar-nish soup with turkey bacon crumbles and apple slices. Serve bread alongside each bowl of soup. Recipe and image provided by the National Onion Association.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Two years ago, 66-year-old Barbara Scott weighed 208 pounds and wasn’t happy with not only her ap-pearance but her health. After giving up on other weight loss methods, Scott de-cided to customize her approach. First, she began tracking her caloric intake every day; then, she layered on a fi tness plan. She enrolled in the na-tion’s leading fi tness program designed for older Americans and started a fi ve-day-a-week exercise regimen. “I’ve lost 65 pounds and dramati-cally improved my overall health, well-being and quality of life,” said Scott. “I truly believe I’ve added years to my life expectancy and I look forward to exercising until my 90s!” If losing weight or simply getting more active is something you’ve been thinking about, the New Year is a great opportunity to start anew. To avoid res-olution pitfalls and fi nd long-term suc-cess like Scott, put a plan in place fol-lowing the guide below. 1. Be Honest and Realistic. If you want to ensure lasting change, you must fi rst assess your current fi tness level and then implement reasonable goals to guide you on your way. 2. Be You. Whether a yogi, mara-thon runner or someone stepping into the gym for the fi rst time, start with a fi tness routine that works for you. Sil-verSneakers offers many different fi t-ness options that help older Americans stay active and live their best life. 3. Find the Fun. Choosing activities that capture your attention is the fuel to keep you motivated. SilverSneakers’ varied offerings allow you to tailor the program to your interests, whether that be a group fi tness class, tennis, yoga or weight training. 4. Stick With It. You will inevitably hit bumps in the road when starting a new routine, but be persistent! Seek new friendships on your path to well-being—peers that will celebrate your

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Do herbal enemas and other types that cleanse the colon protect against colon cancer? A: No well-controlled, scientifi cally accurate studies offer support for such suggestions. The mucus and bacteria that product advertisers talk about removing are a normal part of our digestive system, helping it to function and stay healthy. Suggestions that we need special procedures to remove toxins are unfounded. The kidneys and liver have intricate systems to fi lter and eliminate toxins. Toxins can come from food and from the breakdown of food. Studies do show that food wastes move through the digestive system considerably faster in people who eat high-fi ber diets than in those whose diets are low in fi ber. Some scientists sug-gest that fi ber helps lower risk of colon cancer in part by reducing the time that any cancer-causing substances in waste are in contact with intestinal membranes. Other scientists credit the healthful substances that intestinal bacteria produce from fi ber as cancer-protective. Not only are colon cleanses, sometimes called colonic irrigation, unlikely to protect against cancer, frequent use of high colonic enemas and other products for colon cleansing might even have negative health effects by reducing popula-tions of health-promoting bacteria called the microbiota that live in your diges-tive tract. Safety of cleanses or irrigation depends on how they are done; irriga-tion with large amounts of coffee or other fl uids have been linked with some deaths, mostly from the result of severe electrolyte imbalances. To lower risk of colon cancer and for better overall health, the American Institute for Cancer Research recommendations supported by strong scientifi c evidence are to eat a mostly plant-based diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans; get regular exercise; limit consumption of red meat, processed meat and alcohol; and maintain a healthy weight.

Preparing For Life With Your Adopted Dog (NAPSI)—Each year, approximate-ly 7 million pets enter U.S. shelters. Unfortunately, 3 million of them are euthanized—but you can help change that. Save a life by choosing to adopt your next dog and consider these tips. Step 1: Test the waters Before committing to adopting your own dog, volunteer to pet sit for a friend or foster from a shelter. You can care for a dog while it grows or recovers from illness or surgery. Plus, you can help save lives by freeing up space in a shelter. Step 2: Do your research Find vet offi ces close to home and your job, as well as low-cost spay/neu-ter clinics in case your dog isn’t already fi xed. Check out breed restrictions where you live to ensure that when you bring your new dog home, there are no barriers to unconditional love. Step 3: Make a plan Plan a budget to make sure your new dog gets what he or she needs. These costs can range from pet sitters to train-ing classes, and from food and bowls to collars and a leash. It’s also impor-tant to think about potential vaccina-

tions and microchips to keep your new dog happy and healthy. While loving an adopted dog comes with a cost, the life-time of love in return is invaluable. Step 4: Choose your companion While it’s impossible to predict which dog will steal your heart, it can be helpful to research breeds ahead of time that fi t your lifestyle. Consider things like energy levels, grooming maintenance required and the ideal age of your companion before going to the shelter. For example, a corgi’s high en-

ergy is a great complement to an out-doorsy lifestyle. However, an older dog may be a better fi t for a low-key environment. If your heart is set on a purebred, you’ll be glad to know that about 25 percent of dogs in shelters are purebred. Welcoming an adoptable dog into your home is much more than just day-dreaming about petting your neighbor’s pup. When you adopt, you not only save a life, you also enrich your own. By bringing home a new best friend, you can be a part of PetSmart Chari-ties’ mission to end pet homelessness in a generation. And don’t forget about feline friends. If a dog isn’t the right fi t for you and your family, there are plenty of loving cats and kittens ready to call your house home. For more information, go to www.petsmartcharities.org

Deter Smartphone Thefts And Protect Your Data (NAPSI)—As Americans increas-ingly prefer mobile-fi rst lifestyles, our mobile devices hold personal data that must be protected. That’s why the wire-less industry is proactively working to help you protect your smartphones and your information. CTIA and participating wireless companies developed the “Smartphone Anti-Theft Voluntary Commitment” that will, at no cost to consumers: • Remote wipe the owner’s data in the event it is lost or stolen; • Render the smartphone inoperable to an unauthorized user; and • Prevent reactivation without the owner’s permission. Yet if the smartphone is recovered by the owner, the data on the smartphone can be restored to the extent feasible. In addition to the voluntary commit-ment, CTIA and its member compa-nies are individually and collectively developing consumer education cam-paigns to remind consumers about the numerous apps and features—many for free—available today to help deter theft and protect your personal information. These efforts are clearly working; there was a more than 20 percent increase in PIN and password usage from 2012 to 2015 according to a recent survey. While the wireless industry is ac-tively helping protect consumers, it’s important that users also take some im-portant and simple steps to protect their smartphones and their personal infor-mation. BEFORE your smartphone is lost or stolen:

1. Be Aware. Know your surround-ings and be cognizant of your smart-phone use behavior. Try not to call attention to your smartphone, leave it lying around or let strangers “borrow” it. 2. Lock It. Set a hard-to-guess pass-word to protect your device and change it regularly. 3. Add Apps. A number of apps can remotely track, lock or erase/wipe per-sonal information on your smartphone. In addition, some remotely trigger an alarm so people know their smartphone is stolen or photograph the thief so you can send it to police. CTIA developed a list of apps available on Apple (iOS),

Android, BlackBerry, and Windows platforms so you can choose the best one(s) for you. 4. Save It (Again). If you have pho-tos, e-mails, contacts, videos or any-thing else that you want to make sure is available if your smartphone is ever lost or stolen, save it somewhere else, such as a computer, USB drive or cloud service. 5. Insure It. Consider insuring your device through your wireless provider or a third-party entity so if it is lost or stolen, replacement is covered. AFTER your smartphone is lost or stolen: 1. Report It. Immediately notify your wireless provider to avoid incurring charges. Tell the police what tracking or similar apps you have installed that may help them. If your device is lost, instruct your provider to put a “hold” on your account. 2. Locate It. Never attempt to re-cover your smartphone on your own, warns CTIA,; your safety should al-ways be your No. 1 priority. If you’ve installed apps to remotely track your smartphone, however, activate them from a safe location and remotely lock your smartphone. 3. Erase It. If you have sensitive in-formation relating to fi nances, health or work, or you believe your smartphone won’t be returned, “remote wipe” it-similar to resetting it to its default set-tings. If you stored any passwords on your smartphone for email, fi nancial accounts or remote work access, make sure you change them.

Buying Smart Home Technology? Ask Three Questions First (NAPSI)—This year, many fami-lies will become owners of smart home technology for the fi rst time. Connect-ed to the Internet and controlled by smartphone apps, smart home devices promise to enhance everyday life with convenience, energy savings and even security. However, taking the wrong approach when buying them can lead to an expensive case of buyer’s remorse. This very new technology comes with some unique considerations and options that many shoppers may over-look in pursuit of the best deal at re-tail. Before clicking ‘buy’, experts say, shoppers should consider the follow-ing questions to determine the best ap-proach. 1. Can I install it? Devices such as connected light bulbs may be simple to install, but oth-ers, like a smart thermostat, will require competence with electrical wiring and heating systems in order to work right. If DIY is a concern, buyers should research the ‘do it for me’ option: the growing network of smart home ser-vice providers who supply, install and confi gure smart home devices. 2. Is security important? Many of this year’s most popular smart products, such as streaming vid-eo cameras and smoke detectors, of-fer awareness of what’s happening at home. But when it comes to security, they are self-monitored. You’ll get a text message if there’s trouble at home but what happens if you don’t get the message or can’t respond? For the security minded, profession-ally monitored options are a better buy. These systems send you a text notifi ca-tion if there’s an emergency and auto-matically contact emergency respond-ers on your behalf. 3. Am I investing in a smart device, or a smart home? A common cause of smart home frus-

tration is devices that don’t intercom-municate, requiring the user to use mul-tiple apps and complex workarounds to automate their home. As more devices are added, the situation grows more complex. For shoppers planning to buy more devices in future, a solution such as a smart home security system eliminates

the problem before it begins. The solu-tion approach gives the buyer a com-plete ecosystem of smart home devices, connected by a single software plat-form and mobile app that ensures every device—current and future—can con-tribute to the goal of a smarter home.

Understanding Science News About Exposure To Toxic Substances

(NAPSI)--If you’re like many Amer-icans, you’re concerned about the health effects—to yourself and the environ-ment—of exposure to toxic substances. Fortunately, when you see news re-ports on scientifi c research, there are some simple ways to fi gure out what the new research means for you. When evaluating scientifi c studies regarding chemicals and toxic substances, you should ask the following questions: • Has the study been reproduced or is this a one-time reporting event? If it hasn’t been reproduced, the results may not be predictive of the response in most people. • Was the study conducted on experi-mental animals, cell cultures, or based on human evidence? If it’s one of the fi rst two, the results might be informa-tive, but don’t always directly translate to responses in people. • How do the dose levels in the study compare to actual or predicted human use levels? Frequently, because toxi-cologists are interested in determining the ability of a substance to cause harm (e.g. the worst-case scenario), they use experimental doses that are much high-er than the amounts humans or the en-vironment will experience. • What was the route of exposure

used in the study; that is, did the study employ one of the three basic ways by which humans are often exposed—by eating or drinking, breathing, or plac-ing the substance on the skin—or were invasive approaches, such as intrave-nous injection, used? The effects of toxic substances can depend strongly on the route of exposure, an important factor that must be considered in evalu-ating the likelihood of harm. The expert members of the Society of Toxicology also point out that risk is composed of two key variables: hazard (the capability of something to cause harm) and exposure (the amount of something a subject experiences over a defi ned period of time). Both variables need to be present for a risk to exist. A potential hazard associated with a chemical, natural toxin, or other agent needs to be accompanied by expected or actual human exposures to pose a health risk. By answering these important ques-tions, you’ll be better able to understand the risks you may—or may not—actu-ally face.

What Happens When Your Body Can’t Regulate Calcium? (NAPSI)—Calcium is important for the development of strong bones and teeth. But it also plays a role in other important functions in the body. For instance, calci-um helps blood to clot and supports nerve function, as well as muscle contractions, releasing hormones, and maintaining a normal heartbeat. If the body is unable to maintain the necessary levels of calcium in the blood (serum calcium), the conse-quences can be serious or even life-threat-ening. The parathyroid glands are small nod-ules located near the thyroid that produce parathyroid hormone, or PTH. This hor-mone regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood.3 When levels of PTH are too low, it can lead to low levels of cal-cium and high levels of phosphate in the blood. In turn, this can cause a range of persistent physical, emotional and cogni-tive symptoms.3 Hypoparathyroidism A rare disease called Hypoparathy-roidism is characterized by low or absent endogenous PTH with low levels of cal-cium in the blood. Hypoparathyroidism can affect someone at any age,5 and an estimated 70,000 patients in the United States are living with the chronic disorder. Hypoparathyroidism most often occurs following surgery such as a thyroidecto-

my, a common procedure for patients with thyroid cancer during which all or most of the thyroid gland is removed. Less com-monly, Hypoparathyroidism can also be caused by some autoimmune disorders, genetic risk factors, increased levels of

iron, copper, or iodine in the parathyroid glands, or may simply be undetermined.7 More females appear to be diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism relative to males, with a 3:1 predilection.6 How is Hypoparathyroidism diag-nosed? Hypoparathyroidism can be diagnosed based on the identifi cation of a patient’s symptoms by conducting a review of a pa-tient’s medical history, a thorough physi-cal exam, and specifi c laboratory tests. In some cases, genetic testing can be used to confi rm a diagnosis.5 How is Hypoparathyroidism treated? Symptoms of hypoparathyroidism are often managed with oral calcium and ac-tive vitamin D to raise calcium levels in the blood. For more information about avail-able treatments for hypoparathyroidism, patients should consult their health care practitioner or endocrinologist.
