But these students added a little excitement to the photo by showing us that they already knew something about choreography and stage presenta-tion. Left to right are Connor Schuster 9, Dawson Johnson 10, A.J. Gleason 10, Max Matheson 10, and Brendan Warner 10. They are students from Mr. Franz’s room, there for a special.

She is helping them prepare for standardized testing. This problem in-volves time, and teaches the student to eliminate the extraneous details, using only the information that is necessary to solve the problem. It also reminds them that when they are adding intervals in a time problem that each 60 minute incre-ment equals another hour.

McKean County Bridge Work Continuing

(Bradford, PA) – The Pennsylva-nia Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is continuing work to ad-dress the preservation of eight bridges in McKean County. Preservation work on the bridges will extend their use-ful life and allow PennDOT to remove them from McKean County’s structur-ally defi cient list, keeping them in ser-vice for many years to come. In 2015, PennDOT completed work on a Route 155 bridge spanning Birch Run, two miles southeast of Turtle-point. This year, preservation work will address the other seven bridges. Earlier this month, work began on the following bridges: • A Route 646 bridge in Foster Township. This 40-foot bridge spans Pennbrook Run near the village of Gil-more. This construction zone features temporary traffi c signals that enforce an alternating traffi c pattern. PennDOT expects preservation work at this site to last through June. • A bridge on Route 6 in Hamlin Township, This 15-foot bridge spans the

Kane Branch of Marvin Creek near the borough of Mt. Jewett. This construc-tion zone features lane shifts marked by barrels and traffi c channelizers. PennDOT expects preservation work at this site to last through May. Next week work will begin at: • A bridge on Route 446 in Eldred Township spanning a branch of the Al-legheny River. Temporary signals will be in place April 21, as work begins on this 9-foot bridge. The temporary traf-fi c signals will enforce an alternating traffi c pattern. PennDOT expects pres-ervation work at this site to last through June. Under this contract, four other bridg-es will see preservation work through October. • A 21-foot bridge on Route 46 that spans Daly Brook in Keating Township, about three miles south of Smethport. Temporary traffi c signals will enforce an alternating traffi c pattern. • A 23-foot bridge on Route 346 (West Washington Street) in the City of Bradford that spans Bennett Brook.

Lane shifts will move traffi c around this work zone. • An 11-foot bridge on Route 770 (Minard Run Road) in Bradford Town-ship that spans Minard Run, two miles south east of the village of Degolia. Temporary traffi c signals will enforce an alternating traffi c pattern. • A 70-foot bridge on Route 1019 (Mill Street) in Port Allegany Borough that spans Lillibridge Creek. Work will take place June 6 through August 9 and a detour will be in place. Work on the structures will include deck repairs, concrete repairs, rebar in-stallation, guide rail installation, pav-ing, and miscellaneous items. All work is weather and schedule de-pendent. L.C. Whitford of Wellsville, New York is the contractor on this $2.9 million project. Drivers are reminded to move through work zones with caution, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up. Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffi c delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffi c speed infor-mation and access to more than 770 traffi c cameras.

“Offshore”-by Bob Perry

In an effort to hide income and in the process avoid income taxes people with huge sources of funds have sought in-stitutions offshore wherein to deposit funds with a guarantee never to be dis-closed. The people that do have accounts include the likes of celebrities, politi-cians, criminals, tax-dodgers, money-launders, and traffi ckers. The recent disclosure of the Panama Papers has revealed some 11 million documents, which were stolen from Mossack Fon-seca, a Panamanian law fi rm based in Panama City, which contain names of people around the world who have been participating in hiding funds for various reasons. Essentially this law fi rm sets up un-traceable shell companies which pro-vide shelter for the criminal activity from laundering money to the drain-ing of public funds. Nothing new here unless the entire list of the participant names fi nds the light of day. Report-edly there are over 140 politicians from 50 different countries who are partici-pants in this activity revealed in the Panama Papers. While some names have been released the chances are that many of participants use fi ctitious names and will not be found out. When it comes to money transparency is not high on the list of credibility. Investi-gative journalist are to be given credit for searching and uncovering where the money is hidden. Starting in the Middle Ages Switzer-land created a secretive banking sys-tem centered primarily in Geneva and Zurich as a safe haven for wealth and quite notably it served dictators, des-pots, arms dealers, etc. very well over time. The banking laws have been chang-ing in Switzerland to limit tax-fraud and tax-evasion as agreements with the U.S. and the E.U. (European Union) have been made. In the case of the E.U. the agreement takes effect in 2018 giv-ing time for current account holders to disappear. The banking laws over there included one that the disclosure of an account holder was a criminal act but law changes have made adjustments to align with banking laws of other coun-tries.

The Swiss banks do make a distinc-tion between tax-fraud and tax-evasion for domestic account holders but for-eign account holders lose the distinc-tion and are subject to their secrecy lifted. In reality the United States is becom-ing the world’s largest tax haven as off-shore wealthy seek a place to hide and evade their own country’s view. Many of the Swiss accounts have been mov-ing from over there to over here. What is interesting is advisers are actively promoting the U.S. as one place where accounts will continue to have secrecy from overseas authorities. Wherever there is corruption there is a need for the corrupt to hide the spoils the acquire nefariously. Surely the off-shore hiding of wealth will never end as corruption has no end in sight.

Most of the photos in this issue were taken in two classrooms at the School Street Elementary School. One set was taken in Mrs. Bechelli’s third grade classroom where her students were participating in a review of math con-cepts for standardized testing. There, it was interesting to see them using a smart electronic board in the front of the classroom (instead of a blackboard) and then using dry erase tablets at their tables (instead of scratch paper). Many of us can remember when there were large chalkboards (blackboards and greenboards) at the front of the class-room, and we know that school children in the early twentieth century used lit-tle chalkboards at their tables. While a giant step in electronics was necessary to make smartboards possible (comput-ers), the idea of using the personalized dry erase board is nearly a throwback to the personalized chalkboards of the of a hundred years ago. But there we have it, “a thing of beauty is a joy for-ever,” there’s no need for a calculator at this level of math and the dry erase board saves a lot of paper…..The other set of photos was taken in Lisa Fedak’s music room where Mr. Franz’s fourth grade students were learning about mu-sical instruments. The students are now required to wait until their fi fth grade year to select the instrument they want to play. This gives them time to receive a preview in their music classes, of all the instruments available for them. to pursue…….There was a nice turn-out for Jim, “Jimbo” Deloe’s memo-rial service held last weekend and we were happy that we attended. While we never knew much about Jim’s per-sonal life, he was a long time acquaint-ance and remains in our thoughts. We took pictures of him on stage with his guitar, we were there when he was made manager of the Italian American Society Club (IAS Club), and we were there to give a little coverage to his chili cook-off events at the club. Year’s later he did a lit-tle construction work at our home, and yet later, last year in fact, he submitted a poem that in our opinion, summed up his ideas about life. Other than this we knew little of his comings and goings, but we’ll al-ways remember how free he was with his smile……..Remember to save Saturday, May 7th, on your calendars as a remind-er to attend the East Bradford Annual Stinkfest taking place as always, come rain or shine. Also remember that the Bradford VFW Post #108 will be host-ing the after party and awards ceremony at 6:00 PM, following this year’s barstool open to be held Saturday, April 30th.

Bradford Journal PhotoSmart Lab teacher, Chuck Bell, displays one of the work areas in his science room at School Street Elementary School, April 18th. His job is to let all the students at the school participate in the Smart Lab learning activities, brought to the school through the STEAM program funding. Chuck tells us that he teaches two class each of 3rd, 4th, and 5th, grade students each day, where students learn about elec-trical, electronic, and computer circuits; and how to write and operate video game and robotic programming. In a nutshell, he attempts to teach students how to solve science-oriented problems.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESWhen Changing Jobs, Should You Leave 401(k) Money Behind? With the average American spend-ing only 4.6 years at any given job, it’s never been more important to have a plan for any retirement funds you’ve accrued at any employer. A big problem that began during the 2008 recession but continues today in-volves loans, hardship withdrawals and complete cash-outs of 401(k) plans. A 2015 Boston College study (http://crr.bc.edu) reported that 1.5 percent of retirement assets “leak out” of 401(k) plans and personal IRAs each year, re-ducing an individual’s wealth at retire-ment by about 25 percent. Meanwhile, a 2014 Fidelity Invest-ments study sounded a particularly ur-gent alarm about 401(k) cash-outs and workers under the age of 40. The mu-tual fund giant noted that 35 percent of all participants were simply cashing out their 401(k) assets when leaving a job. However, for workers aged 20-39 – indeed, those with the longest savings horizons – that number jumped to 41 percent. So what should you do? A great deal depends on your age, time to retirement and specifi c needs. Start by taking an inventory of your retirement assets. Either alone or with the help of a qualifi ed fi nancial or tax expert, put together an offi cial list of current and former 401(k) plans, per-sonal IRAs or, depending on your years of work history, assets from traditional defi ned benefi t retirement plans that were popular more than 20 years ago. Then see where you are. Make sure you always review retire-ment options whenever you change a job. If an employer is highly motivated to get you on board, query the com-pany about the retirement savings op-tions that would fi t the position you’re interviewing for. Ask hiring managers in general terms about how well their retirement options have performed and if you would have the option of rolling over your 401(k) assets to that employ-er. If, for example, your prospective employer has a more generous match-ing feature than your current employer has, that could create a favorable envi-ronment for transferring those assets. If not, you may want to keep your mon-ey in your employer’s existing plan or consider a rollover to a personal IRA with the features you’re looking for. Ask plenty of questions. Evaluate IRA choices carefully. If you are considering rolling your former employer’s assets into a personal IRA, evaluate your tax situation, both Tradi-tional and Roth IRA options and their

performance and fee levels before you arrange for a transfer. Go for the best-performing invest-ment options that fi t your needs and anticipated retirement date. Employ-er-based 401(k) plans generally dis-close investment choices and invest-ment fees (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/401k_employee.html). It may be a good idea to get qualifi ed help to review those documents. Age is im-portant. There’s typically a 10 percent penalty if you withdraw money from a 401(k) or IRA before age 59 ½. But if you lose or leave your job at age 55 or later (or earlier for certain public em-ployees), you can generally take 401(k) withdrawals without penalty. An IRA rollover requires the account holder to be at least 59 ½ years old before they can take a penalty-free IRA distribution. While keeping your money invested as long as possible is key to a successful retirement, withdrawal issues are also important to consider based on your age and time to retirement. Invest on your own. It’s important to do parallel personal retirement plan-ning with any employer-based retire-ment options available to you. Again, get qualifi ed help to assist you in evalu-ating the retirement savings and invest-ment decisions you make on your own and at work. Bottom line: Frequent job changing can derail anyone’s retirement plan-ning. Whether you roll over a former employer’s retirement assets every

by - Nathaniel Sillintime you switch or decide to keep your money in certain plans, get help if you need it.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—You don’t have to let the joys of warm weather driving be dimin-ished by the irritating pollen and pollut-ants that can be drawn inside through your car’s air-conditioning and ventila-tion systems. Cabin air fi lters clean the incom-ing air, removing allergens, as long as they’re replaced regularly. “A dirty or clogged cabin air fi lter can cause contaminants to become so concentrated in the cabin that passen-gers actually breathe in more fumes and particles when riding in the car than when walking down the street,” explained Rich White, executive direc-tor, Car Care Council. “Replacing the cabin air fi lter is a simple way for you and your passengers to breathe easier while driving.” In addition to trapping pollen, bac-teria, dust and exhaust gases, the cabin air fi lter prevents leaves, bugs and other debris from entering the heating, ven-tilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. A restricted cabin air fi lter can mean musty odors in the vehicle and impair airfl ow in the HVAC system, possibly causing interior heating and cooling problems. Over time, the heat-er and air conditioner may also become damaged by corrosion. Cabin air fi lters should not be cleaned and reinstalled. Instead, they should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or per the owner’s manual. Most fi lters are accessible through a panel in the HVAC housing, which may be under the hood or in the interior of the car. An automotive service technician can locate the cabin fi lter and replace it ac-cording to the vehicle’s owner manual. Some fi lters require basic hand tools to remove and install their replacement while others just need your hands. To learn more about cabin air fi lters, view the Car Care Council’s Car Care Minute video and see the free digital

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Does a lactose-free diet play a role in reducing cancer risk? A: For people who can’t digest lactose, a naturally occurring sugar in milk, eat-ing or drinking milk and other dairy products can lead to uncomfortable cramp-ing and diarrhea. Overall, research shows no reduction in cancer risk by avoiding foods with lactose (dairy products). In fact, the latest report from the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) analyzing the evidence links milk and cal-cium intake with lower risk of colorectal cancer. There is some research linking consumption of dairy products with increased risk of prostate cancer, but the evidence here is not strong. A few studies have also linked high consumption of lactose with greater risk of ovarian cancer, but overall research does not show any clear link between lactose or dairy consump-tion and ovarian or other cancer. Limited animal research even shows possible protective effects of lactose for the colon. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend 2-3 servings of dairy per day as part of an overall healthy eating plan. One serving equals 1 cup milk or yogurt or 1 1/2 ounces natural cheese.

Review Math For Standardized Testing

Photo by Mary DePalmaFollowing some Spring lawn and drive-way cleanup, on a warm sunny day, April 16th, at his home at 545 Parkside Drive, Limestone, NY, William Hare poses with his 8-year-old dog, Cody. Bill tells us that he made the swings on his porch. He also mentioned that big porches are coming back into style, and when they do, he’ll be ready to supply them. Sooooo…. we sup-pose anyone who is interested could stop by, and order one from him. We’re sure Bill would be happy to make a few more.

Bridge Repair In Norwich Township

Repair work is taking place this week on a Route 146 bridge in Norwich Town-ship, according to the Pennsylvania De-partment of Transportation (PennDOT). The bridge is located about 1 mile south of the village of Colegrove, near the inter-section of Routes 146 and 46. The 61-foot bridge spans Potato Creek and carries an average of 200 vehicles each day. Repair work is scheduled Tuesday through Fri-day, April 19 through 22. The bridge is structurally defi cient and is currently posted with weight restrictions of 23 tons for single vehicles and 27 tons for combination vehicles. PennDOT cur-rently plans to replace the bridge in 2017 and next week’s repairs will keep it in ser-vice until replacement takes place. A bridge crew from PennDOT McK-ean County Maintenance will do the repair work. The bridge will be closed during repairs and area drivers will need to fi nd alternate routes. Should work progress allow, PennDOT will re-open the bridge ahead of schedule. All work is weather de-pendent.

McKean County Bridge Projects

(Clearfi eld, PA) – The Pennsylvania De-partment of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Rapid Bridge Replacement Project will begin soon in McKean County. Seventeen bridges are being replaced under the pro-ject, with six starting this year and 11 in 2017.

(Continuned from page 18)will result in temporary occupation and permanent acquisition of a small amount of state game lands property along Emporium Road. It appears that this will not adversely affect the activities, features, and attributes that qualify the property for protection under Section 4(f) guidelines. The Pennsylvania Game Commis-sion, which holds jurisdiction over the park, is also being con-sulted. Additionally, the bridge replacement on Wilcox Clermont Road (JV-71) will result in temporary occupation and permanent use of Elk State Forest. Because it appears that this will not ad-versely affect the activities, features, and attributes that qualify the property for protection under Section 4(f) guidelines, a de minimis Section 4(f) will be prepared as well. Elk State Park is also being consulted. The bridge replacements are part of the Rapid Bridge Re-placement Project, a Public-Private Partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) un-der which PWKP will fi nance, design, replace and maintain the bridges for 25 years.

Brain Health Registry: Speeding Path To Alzheimer’s Cure (NAPSI)—The statistics on Alzhei-mer’s disease bear witnessing. The preva-lence of the condition is estimated to triple by 2050, growing from 5.3 million today to 16 million. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and the fi fth leading cause of death for those aged 65 and older. And costs for the disease are taking a toll: In 2015, caring for those with Alzhei-mer’s was estimated to be $226 billion, with half of the costs borne by Medicare, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. By 2050, the cost of Alzheimer’s could jump to $1.1 trillion (in 2015 dollars). That makes Alzheimer’s disease ripe for breakthroughs in prevention and cura-tive treatments. The Alzheimer’s Associa-tion says that new treatments for the dis-

ease cannot be discovered without clinical trials, which are seeking tens of thousands of volunteers, both with and without the disease. Getting On Board With A Registry One of the easiest ways to participate in a clinical trial for Alzheimer’s disease is through a health care registry, which matches individuals to clinical trials. The Internet-based, free national Brain Health Registry launched in 2014 is one such registry. With 40,000 current members, its goal is to double the number in 2016. The Brain Health Registry aims to re-duce the cost of patient recruitment for clinical trials by building a large online pool of potential candidates. Once volunteers are registered on the site, they complete questionnaires about basic demographics, health, lifestyle and medical history, along with cognitive tests and a consent form on the Brain Health Registry website, www.join.brainheal-thregistry.org. The National Institute on Aging makes a strong case for participation in clinical trials:• Help others, including future family members, who may be at risk for Alzhei-mer’s disease.• Receive regular monitoring by medical professionals.• Learn about Alzheimer’s and one’s health.• Test new treatments that might work bet-ter than those currently available.• Get information about support groups and resources. The state of research for Alzheimer’s pales when compared to other diseases.

In 2011, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent only $480 million on Alz-heimer’s, while cancer research received about $6 billion, heart disease, $4.2 billion and HIV, $3.2 billion. Alzheimer’s Affects More Women, Minorities Alzheimer’s disease affects a dispro-portionate number of women, African Americans and Hispanics, as well as older adults over 65. Two-thirds of the 5.1 mil-lion people currently suffering from Alz-heimer’s disease are women. Unfortunately, African Americans rep-resented 12 percent of the U.S. population in 2011 but only 5 percent of clinical trials, and Hispanics comprised 16 percent of the population but only 1 percent of clinical trial participants. A recent University of California at Davis study shows that despite a congres-sional mandate that research fi nanced by NIH include minorities, nonwhites com-prise fewer than 5 percent of participants in NIH-supported studies. The FDA’s Offi ce of Women’s Health identifi ed major barriers to minorities: lack of disease education; insurance sta-tus; patient inconvenience costs; unavaila-bility of transportation; distance to a study site; and patient and family concerns about risk.

Students Learn About Musical Instruments

Bradford Journal PhotoThese fourth grade students from Mr. Franz’s classroom were being introduced to the trumpet and French horn, in the music room, April 18th at School Street Elementary School. The general music and vocals teacher there, Lisa Fedak, tells us that students are introduced to all the instruments during fourth grade music and that by next year they will be able to better make a choice as to which instrument they want to learn. Left to right are Tyson Ray 11, Liam Haven 10, Austin Tingley 10, Joyce Loncki 9, and Aggie Collins 10.
