“Test Of Civil Unrest” -by Bob Perry In 1950 President Harry S Truman organized the FCDA (Federal Civil Defense Administration) through ex-ecutive action as a way to inform the citizenry of communism and announce any threat of a communist attack. The successor to FCDA was the DCPA (De-fense Civil Preparedness Agency estab-lished in 1972 in the DOD (Department of Defense). The function of DCPA was to coordinate and direct all federal, state and local civil defense activities. In 1979 President by Executive Order merged the DCPA into FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). In 2003 FEMA was merged into the De-partment of Homeland Security. Civil defense preparedness is essential but there is a lack of FEMA being involved in the current civil unrest as a result of the demonstrations, sometimes violent and destructive, which have popped up in numerous cities across the US. What needs to be addressed is the narrative that has spurred the unrest along with making the institutions and persons ac-countable for any and all false narra-tives. This may well be a responsibility of Homeland Security to resolve any and all issues of civil unrest - Test civil unrest! There is an apparent test of civil un-rest by those who desire unrest and to what level the unrest can be elevated by continuing to promote false narratives. The “Hands up. Don’t shoot.” narra-tive, fi rst stated by Michael Brown’s friend has been refuted by the Grand Jury testimony as having any content of truth, has been continually promoted, and instigators seem to enjoy the result-ing unrest. The media is a huge contributor to the unrest as they willingly published in papers and false information and, as we all know, perception is reality despite the facts. Media needs to report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!! Homeland Security should be soliciting the Attorney General to hold responsible parties accountable. Those that lie and promote false narra-tives must be curbed. It is quite necessary to note the part that President Obama has been playing in the divisive rhetoric he has put forth. We remember Obama accusing the Cambridge police for acting ‘stupidly’ before knowing the facts. Then there was Obama weighing in on the killing of Trayvon Martin killing before know-

ing the facts. Both Obama and Eric Holder have prejudged the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri by opening up a civil rights investiga-tion prior to knowing the facts, and it is clear there is no evidence of any race factor which is necessary for such a case. These actions are not helping but add-ing to the issue of disharmony between the races. All the rhetoric continues to create feelings of being ‘victims’. The last note is to refl ect on Obama’s state-ment on the Grand Jury’s decision. He stated “And so we need to accept this decision was the grand jury’s to make.” What he did not say was it was a legal decision and he accepts that decision and the citizens of Ferguson should as well. What he did was to create the im-pression that there is distrust between minorities and the police across the na-tion which turns up the heat by stating “The fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color.”. By all appearances, divisiveness seems desirable. Responsible leader-ship is desperately needed in the White House!

“In-Store Specials Continue This Week”

The Bradford American Legion Club and Post #108 gave away a total of $10,000.00 to various organizations around town last week, and we photo-graphed them at each location. We also spent time at the 1st Annual St. Jude’s Strike Down Childhood Cancer Tourna-ment were we photographed some teams, discovered a surprise birthday party, and more. And to round out the week in pho-tos, we stopped at the 1st Wesleyan Church during Camo Sunday there. We photo-graphed the children’s church in a down-stairs classroom, and congregants taking light refreshments in the social hall………Many have noticed that Al Dexter, own-er of Dexter’s Service & Collision is working at expanding his body shop and garage work areas. With winter being so tough on our autos, it’s good to know that he’ll have plenty of capacity to handle the mechanical problems and body work that winter is sure to bring…….The VFW has scheduled a Christmas Bash (Annual Meat Raffl e) for this weekend Decem-ber 6th. The event, open to members and guests, opens at 6PM. There is no entry fee……..As promised, we can expect the 11th Annual Holiday Craft & Ven-dor Show to take place this Saturday, December 6th from 10 AM to 3 PM. And Sunday, December 7th, from 11AM to 4PM. As in the past, we can expect a lot of excitement, with 30 vendors and crafts-men present at the Foster Township build-ing located along East Main Street………An additional entry on our Christmas Magic page this week is Smith’s (watch-es & clocks) where we can expect to fi nd deep discounts on all gold and silver jew-elry in the store…….Our readers should remember that parking is Free around town, through Christmas…….. Stop in at Cavallaro’s along Kennedy Street in Bradford to see what Anthony has done to rearrange his Picture Framing and How Ya Brewing store. Now we can watch the craftsmen at work…….Since the 1960’s, experts on education in the United States, have been saying that our stu-dents lag behind in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills. We have always argued against this, pointing to all the technological advancements that have been made here in space explora-tion, electronics development, medicine and pharmaceuticals, not to mention our military and economic might. On the other hand, taking a look at our elected lawmak-ers and their behaviors in the House and Senate, and knowing that they attended U.S. schools, we would say that the defi -cit in education likely falls along the lines of socialization, political science, ethics, humanities and the liberal arts in general. And that if we lag behind in anything, it’s in the humanities and liberal arts.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESSmart Tax Moves To Consider Before New Year’s Eve

-by Jason Alderman The fl urry of activity during the last weeks of December can make it diffi cult to pay attention to fi nances. If you want to save on your tax bill come April, now’s the time to make some critical moves. If you have a tax advisor or fi nancial plan-ner, it’s wise to run these ideas by them fi rst. Here are some suggestions to inves-tigate by year-end with follow-up in the new year: 1. Accelerate your deductions and defer your income. It makes the list every year because it works. To keep your 2014 tax bill low, try to defer bonuses, consulting income or self-employment income until 2015 while taking as many deductions as you legally can in 2014. Deductions may include paying your January federal and state income taxes before Dec. 31, real es-tate taxes and interest payments. 2. Bunch non-urgent medical expenses this year or move them to 2015. If you have non-emergency medical procedures coming up, it’s a good idea to pack them into the same year so people under age 65 can exceed the 10 percent adjusted gross income (AGI) minimum for medical ex-penses. For those over age 65, the AGI minimum is 7.5 percent. 3. Make last-minute withholding ad-justments. If you’ve started making more money later in the year, make sure your withholding or estimated tax payments are adjusted before Dec. 31 so you don’t face underpayment penalties later. 4. Evaluate your traditional and Roth IRA holdings. Many people who expect their tax rate to go up in retirement con-vert traditional IRAs to Roth accounts in advance. Those who don’t do so keep their traditional accounts as-is. No matter how close you’re getting to retirement, it’s a good idea to take inventory of your IRA investments to make sure they’re accessi-ble and to contact your tax advisor if you have questions about strategy. 5. Contribute as much to retirement ac-counts as possible. Putting money away for retirement is always a good idea – for your tax bill and for your future. For tax year 2014, individual 401(k) (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/401k) contribu-tion limits are $17,500 and $5,500 for an IRA (not including catch-up contributions for taxpayers 50 or over). In 2015, those contribution limits will go up to $18,000 and $6,000 respectively. 6. Consider HSAs and FSAs. High-deductible insurance plans may offer a health savings account (HSA) option that allows you to deposit pretax dollars to pay for medical expenses high-deductible plans don’t cover. Flexible Spending Ac-counts (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/fsa) also allow pre-tax dollars to pay for dental care, vision checkups and glass-es and over-the-counter drugs. 7. Gather state and local sales tax re-ceipts. If you itemize your deductions,

consider whether to deduct state and lo-cal sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes. 8. Consider a gift. Individuals can give up to $14,000 a year per benefi ciary to as many people as they’d like during 2014 free of gift or estate tax. That amount goes up to $28,000 per benefi ciary per year for spouses (both individual and spousal numbers will stay the same in 2015). 9. Make a last-minute charitable de-duction. If you itemize, you can deduct for charitable contributions – but do some homework fi rst. GuideStar.org lists every IRS-registered nonprofi t organization, so you can do full research on the organiza-

tion’s work and legitimacy as well as its tax status. 10. Take that home offi ce deduction. If you use part of your home for business or if your offi ce is an unattached structure, you may qualify for a home offi ce deduc-tion up to $1,500 a year. 11. Watch the news and keep your tax preparer’s number handy. Congress may spend its fi nal days arguing over a vari-ety of expired tax breaks still pending. It’s important to keep an eye on tax news be-tween now and New Year’s Day. Bottom line: Use the end of the year to gather records and advice and make smart choices taxwise and otherwise.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDECold & Flu Season:

Beware Of Medication Overdose

(NAPSI)—As cold and fl u season begins, it is important to pay attention to the active ingredients in prescription and over-the-counter medications you take to alleviate your cold symptoms, especially if you already take medi-cines for chronic pain. Every year, it is estimated that more than 126,000 hospitalizations and 17,000 deaths in the U.S. are due to overdose of acetaminophen and NSAIDs. Acetaminophen, which is an active ingredient in brands such as Tylenol®, NyQuil® and Percocet®, is safe when taken as recommended, but can lead to liver damage when taken in excess. NSAIDs, which are a class of pain-re-lieving drugs that include brands such as Advil®, Motrin® and aspirin, can cause stomach damage when overused. It is important that you read medi-cine labels and only take one product at a time that contains the same active ingredient, even if you are taking medi-cine for different symptoms, such as knee pain and a cold. And talk to your health care provider about your medi-cine use and other options for manag-ing symptoms. Gut Check: Know Your Medicine, a campaign from the American Gas-troenterological Association, aims to educate consumers about medication safety. Visit www.GutCheckFacts.org to learn more.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Does physical activity protect against catching a cold or wear down your resistance? A: Regular moderate physical activity reduces the risk of respiratory infec-tions, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. The common cold is an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus. Whether you get sick with a cold after you’ve been exposed to a virus depends on many infl uences on your immune system, such as how well you’re eating and whether you’ve been get-ting enough sleep, as well as age, stress and tobacco use. Physical activity seems to be among those important infl uences, too. Intense heavy exercise (as in run-ners training for a marathon) may decrease immune function and leave people more vulnerable when exposed to cold viruses. However, several randomized controlled studies have shown that people walking 35-45 minutes fi ve days a week reported about half as many days with cold symptoms as inactive people in the studies. Part of this protection may come from promotion of healthy IgA lev-els, the immune cells particularly linked with fi ghting colds and other respiratory infections. In several studies of seniors age 65 and above, those assigned to an aerobic exercise group showed better IgA levels than did a control group. Several large population studies have also shown that frequent aerobic activity compared to a sedentary lifestyle predicts fewer sick days during the cold season.

Sock Style (NAPSI)—Until recently, men’s socks were limited to black, navy or white. Today, a stroll down the hosiery aisle reveals bold designs and countless colors. The once basic sock is now the ideal accessory for imparting fl air, color or personality to a wardrobe. “The sock has replaced the tie as the can-vas for sartorial self-expression,” said Trish McHale, head of marketing for Gold Toe Socks. “Socks are fashion statements and more men are putting an exclamation point to that fact.” Since 1934, Gold Toe has adapted to fash-ion’s fi ckle nature. Today, its “G” collection is the brand’s answer to the needs of a young-er and more fashion-forward consumer. “This year, we’re seeing more modern and abstract geometrics—and a lot more color,” said Matthew Mull, sock designer. “But the desire to be different can lead to creative trendsetting style—and to fashion missteps.” Here are a few tips to blend bold and brash socks into your wardrobe:• Socks should be a refl ection of your person-ality, not a wild exaggeration.• Step into style slowly if you’re unsure. Start with updated classic patterns like rich plaids, herringbones and geometrics.• The style or weight of your socks should complement your shoes. Heavier socks are more casual; thinner socks are more upscale and dressy.• There are no rules for matching socks, but the most stylish men match them to their pants.• The key is to be savvy and dress for the oc-casion. Stick with the brand you trust. The traditional dress sock will always be essential, but brighter and more creative styles certainly have made socks the perfect accessory that they have become,” said Mull. The Gold Toe brand has continued to thrive these past 80 years by combining du-rability and comfort with fashion. To learn more about sock style, visit www.facebook.com/goldtoe

Kids Can Learn Life Skills (NAPSI)—There could be good news for parents who want their children to grow up to be independent, fi scally re-sponsible adults. A digital curriculum that offers students a chance to explore person-al fi nance topics through interactive learn-ing has been updated and improved. The digital and paperless curriculum and custom software—made possible by a multiyear funding commitment from the KPMG Foundation for Junior Achieve-ment USA® (JA)—lets middle and high school students engage in real-world fi -nancial activities such as online banking and paying bills via tablet PCs, while be-ing introduced to such concepts as insur-ance, credit and long-term investments. Middle and high school students are known for being increasingly more tech savvy (44 percent of millennials check their phones more than six times an hour). Using technology that they’re already ac-customed to will better prepare them for

fi nancial success, according to the pro-gram’s supporters. Upon completion of the in-class work, students visit a JA Finance Park facility or mobile unit and take part in a virtual experience to put their newfound skills to the test in real-life scenarios. Just as in the “real world,” students must make fi nan-cial trade-offs for what they want versus what they can afford. For more information on bringing this program to your local school, visit www.ja.org

Hints To Help You Get The Sleep You Need (NAPSI)—Here’s an eye-opening sta-tistic: According to the National Institutes of Health, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep a night, but nearly 30 percent are getting six or less.

Five Steps To Better Sleep

If you’re ever among them, consider these fi ve tips:

1. Try to go to bed at the same time each night and rise at the same time each morn-ing.

2. Avoid large meals before bed.

3. Avoid caffeine and alcohol close to bed-time.

4. Avoid nicotine.

5. Get a mattress with the right degree of fi rmness for you.

For example, a soft mattress is for sleepers who prefer to feel it hug them in a supportive embrace but not let them sink in too much.

Choose soft if you:

• Sleep on your side and sometimes your back

• Like to feel enveloped in your bed and linens

• Have trouble with your arms falling asleep before you do.

The standard comfort level used in the fi nest hotels is luxury fi rm. This balances cushioning and contouring support to en-sure proper spinal alignment.

Choose luxury fi rm if you:

• Sleep on your side, back or stomach

• Switch sleeping positions often in the night.

Firm is for sleepers who prefer an ini-tial plushness quickly followed by fi rm support.

Choose fi rm if you:

• Sleep on your back or stomach

• Prefer a mattress that you fl oat on top of instead of sink into

• Have been told by your doctor to sleep on a fi rm mattress.

Finding A Quality Mattress

Whatever degree of fi rmness you like, you want your mattress to be top quality. Look for higher density of nontoxic foams and dual innerspring construction, which prevents sagging. In the case of memory foam mattresses, look for higher weight and density and nontoxic foams. Focus only on a memory foam mattress that al-lows for the most effi cient air circulation within the mattress. Memory foam mat-tresses are a rising choice with consumers, as they offer the elimination of pressure points or discomfort that can contribute to the “tossing and turning at night” to fi nd a comfortable sleep position. A well-handcrafted memory foam mattress also eliminates “motion transfer,” the annoy-ing transfer of motion from one side of the bed to the other that can come from sleep-ing next to a restless sleeper. Also look for coil-on-coil construction. The lower coil unit should offer a con-nected, hourglass-shaped, steel support base while the top coil unit features an in-dividually wrapped, pocketed coil system that contours and responds to your body, eliminating most motion transfer. As for where to get a good mattress, a study by the Research Triangle Insti-tute may help. It found many people feel “rushed” by in-store salespeople. As a re-sult, online mattress purchasing is on the rise. If you go that route, look for a mat-tress that’s delivered and set up in your home. A boxed compressed mattress may

not recover to full size and, while some manufacturers fold mattresses for home delivery, a high-quality mattress should not be able to be rolled up. Make sure the manufacturer uses top-quality foams and that the company is mandated to follow proper guidelines. Nonmandated foams from other countries can contain danger-ous carcinogens, linked to a variety of health concerns. Make sure the manufacturer offers no restocking fees and a true return policy where you can get a full and prompt re-fund of the purchase price. The largest “online only” luxury mat-tress fi rm, Saatva (which means “truth”) develops, manufactures and distributes an impressive line of ultrapremium mattress-es in America with what many consumers have called unparalleled price, perfor-mance and service—and it has a 15-year warranty. The company’s unique online-only business model means it can offer high-ly reduced prices for luxury mattresses and help customers with true comparison shopping, providing easy-to-read, objec-tive measures on a website designed for easy navigation:

Prepare For Long-Term Care (NAPSI)—As Americans live long-er, the prospect of becoming a caregiver or needing one is an undeniable reality. In fact, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 70 percent of adults 65 or older will require some form of long-term care (“LTC”). Despite the clear need, the majority of Americans have not taken proactive steps to address care for themselves or their loved ones—but you don’t have to be among them. Findings from Northwestern Mu-tual’s 2014 Long-Term Care Study re-vealed that even though three-quarters of individuals agreed that planning is important as longevity increases, just a fraction have spoken to family members

about their wishes or discussed their own preferences. Of those who have considered LTC planning, the major-ity expect to rely on personal savings, which may be unrealistic, as a private room in a U.S. assisted living facility or nursing home can average $38,000 and $90,000 per year, respectively, ac-cording to data from Northwestern Mu-tual’s Cost of Long-Term Care Study. Moreover, since AARP research indi-cates that 87 percent of Americans rely on unpaid or informal caregivers, it is not surprising that more than half of fu-ture caregivers in Northwestern Mutu-al’s Long-Term Care Study believe that caregiving will affect their budgets and retirement savings. According to Steve Sperka, vice president of long-term care at North-western Mutual, the signifi cant fi nancial and lifestyle implications of caregiving should elevate planning for LTC to a key priority. “Our new study confi rms what we have heard fi rsthand from cli-ents—that fulfi lling caregiving obliga-tions can take a serious economic and emotional toll on families,” said Sper-ka. “Caregivers, particularly members of the Sandwich Generation simultane-ously providing for young children and elderly relatives, are sacrifi cing family

time and career opportunities while in their professional prime.” The good news is that it is possible to take control of your potential long-term care needs and help ensure clarity for the future in the event of an unexpected illness or condition. To protect income and assets and mitigate the stress and uncertainty that accompany diffi cult long-term care events, Sperka suggests the following: • Recognize that you have options. While it is optimal to get a jump start on long-term care planning, there are a range of considerations at various life stages that can be integrated into your fi nancial security planning. • Have a candid conversation. Long-term care is a challenging topic but understanding your family member’s wishes and expectations for care as well as communicating your own is the key to building a sound retirement plan. • Talk to a fi nancial professional. Do not underestimate the value of expert guidance in navigating complex sce-narios and tailoring a strategy that will align with your individual goals, needs and resources.
