Unwanted Medication Collection Over 70 McKean County Residents de-livered medications to the Drug Enforce-ment Agency’s National Unwanted Medi-cation Collection Program on Saturday, April 30, 2016, at the Penn State Exten-sion Offi ce in Smethport. Over 17 boxes were collected and sent to an approved medical waste incinerator for proper disposal. The event was sponsored locally by the McKean County Sheriff’s Offi ce, Penn State Extension, and PA CleanWays of McKean, an affi liate of Keep PA Beauti-ful. Unused medications should not be fl ushed or washed down the drain, be-cause research shows us that water quality and aquatic organisms can be affected.

Public Invited (Harrisburg, PA) – Pennsylvania’s 14 Welcome Centers, which are managed by PennDOT, will conduct special programs and promotions to mark National Travel and Tourism Week from May 1-7. “Pennsylvania Welcome Centers serve as attractive gateways to our visitors, and their staffs will work with local visitors bureaus and other tourism industry mem-bers to help promote this special week,” said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Rich-ards. “The events will spotlight local at-tractions and demonstrate why tourism is one of Pennsylvania’s top industries.” In many cases, Welcome Centers pro-vide the fi rst impression of Pennsylvania to out-of-state visitors. Each Welcome Center is a complete travel resource center for motorists, offering many free tourism services, such as lodging and restaurant reservations. In 2015, Pennsylvania Wel-come Centers served more than 3.3 mil-lion customers and assisted over 17,000 travelers with lodging reservations. “During National Travel and Tourism Week, Welcome Centers spotlight attrac-tions from the most popular to ‘hidden gems’ that make Pennsylvania such a great place to visit and explore,” said Rich-ards. “From Trolley Museum displays in Greene County to Smokey the Bear in Fulton County, Welcome Center visitors will be able to learn more about tourism hot spots across Pennsylvania.” In addition, Richards noted that visitors will also have the opportunity to receive free promotional items from state tourism partners and to learn about various prod-ucts made in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s Welcome Centers are open 24 hours a day, and tourism staff is available at most locations from 7 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week, including most holidays. Pennsylvania’s 14 Welcome Centers are

“The Walk”-by Bob Perry

On August 7th, 1974 a French high-wire artist by the name of Philippe Petit created a thrilling visual by walking a wire from one of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center to the other Tower. Truly an amazing feat which surely required an immense courage along with unshakable determination. With no doubt he talked the talk and walked the talk as hopefully one day we can witness in Washington D.C. Philippe’s walk was 200 feet (61 me-ters) in distance and he proved his for-titude by walking it eight (8) times in 45 minutes - an artistic crime gaining him fame. The danger involved was a potential fall of 1350 feet to pavement below. Perception of this feat was that Philippe proved in action the abilities he possessed. The Walk I would like to see is from the White House to the Capitol Build-ing by a sitting President, to create the perception at least, of fulfi lling a prom-ise of working with Congress has been taken seriously. The distance is approx-imately 1.9 miles (3100 meters) and by walking some 2.5 miles per hour it would be accomplished in 45 minutes matching the effort Mr. Petit made in the Towers Walk. The perception cre-ated when a President says working with Congress is a priority and follows this up by inviting party leaders to the White House is like inviting someone into the lion’s den with the agenda of bending wills. This is a perception of participation under duress. To create the perception of working with Congress, the mere act of going to the Capitol would pay huge dividends both with the legislators and the public at large. How many walks have presidents taken such a walk to work with Congress? None I can fi nd except in the series The West Wing when President Bartlet (fi ctitious char-acter) walks to the Capitol Building to meet with the Speaker of the House. I would like to see in my lifetime for a sitting President take the Walk, not just once, but on any issue of importance, sending a clear message of intent of attacking a serious issue, fi nding com-mon ground and accomplishing a legis-lative solution to overwhelming prob-lems this country faces. Issues like the defi cit and debt and working to become fi scally sound! We need to resolve the issues politi-cians address but do not resolve, only to keep them for positioning against

an opposing party or creating polariza-tion when seeking election. Our repre-sentatives in Washington are good with words but are huge failures on action. If I were President the Halls of Con-gress would see me on a frequent basis to create a work-with relationship along with seeing if the Legislative Branch of the government is working. I would take the Walk!

Mother’s Day Tea 11:30 am to 1 pm - May 7th in Veteran’s Square Downtown Bradford

Photos for this edition were taken by Mary DePalma during the Kids Fest held at the Bradford Family YMCA; by Ernest Lathrop during the afterward party and awards ceremony at the VFW Post #212 (following the BarStool Open event); and by the Brad-ford Journal at the swimming clinic held in Clarence, NY. All three events took place on Saturday, April 30th. Enjoy!......The big deal this weekend, Saturday, May 7th, is the Annual East Bradford Stinkfest running from 11 AM in the morning until 6 PM. As usual, we will fi nd part of East Main Street blocked off from vehicle traffi c to allow for food and craft concessions. Businesses along the street will also be open with their own brand of entertain-ment. And a children’s carnival will be conducted by the Bradford Area High School Cheerleaders to include games and face painting. Pony rides will also be available for the children. And once again we can expect live band music to complete the party atmosphere. Re-member too that Tasta Pizza, Monte’s Restaurant and Our Renna’s, while outside of the blocked off area of East Main Street, are all a part of East Bradford and welcome those in attendance for the Stinkfest to cross over the barriers to visit their restaurants………And while we’re on the subject of East Bradford, it has come to our attention that Our Renna’s has completed their fi rst year of operation in Bradford. Their managers mention that they are grateful for all the cooperation they have received from businesses and the community in making their fi rst year a success…….The Pennsylvania Electric Company (Penelec), itself a part of a larger conglomerate, First Energy Cor-poration, has notifi ed its customers that it will be increasing the power cost to their customers by 17.1 percent. Our ques-tion, and the question that others should have, is why they are asking for such a large increase. We live in the same world they do, and to our knowledge, the cost of the raw materials, labor, and plant have not increased anywhere near the amount that they are looking for in increased revenues. Perhaps they are losing retail customers and need to prop up the revenue side to satisfy investors. Whatever the reason, we think that 17.1 percent increase is a trend and parallels the outrageous oil price in-creases that occurred before our last reces-sion. Fortunately their request must be ap-proved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC). Our only question is, “Do members of the PUC live in the same world we do?” And maybe more impor-tantly, “What would Bernie Sanders say about all this?”

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESWorking Out On A Budget It’s true–good health really does save money. A Towers Watson survey (https://www.towerswatson.com/en-US/Press/2012/11/research-shows-prevention-is-key-to-reducing-health-care-costs-for-all-em-ployees) noted that employee wellness programs saved employers an average of $100 in health care costs per worker. So if you’re going to get healthy, do it the smart way and make well-researched spending decisions throughout the year. Here are a few tips at the starting line. Do a little heavy lifting with your budg-et fi rst. Whatever your goals, check your overall fi nances to see what bad health be-haviors might be costing you now in terms of immediate everyday costs or long-term impact on medical bills. You might fi nd that a successful fi tness plan can return hundreds of dollars–and possibly thou-sands–to your budget. Pick a workout you like. If you loved swimming or jogging as a kid, such sports might be a good place to restart your fi t-ness regimen. Restart your fi tness habits modestly but consistently with activities you like. If they require a facility, test it out for a few days to comparison-shop. If they’re offering specials, read the fi ne print carefully and try to stay away from long-term membership commitments if you can. Don’t overlook your community. Check out taxpayer-supported facilities and activities you’re already paying for in your community to see what they offer. Community centers are great resources for inexpensive or free classes. You might be surprised how many free public tennis courts, swimming facilities and other rec-reational spaces are available in your city or town. Also take advantage of any re-gional, state or national parks that are near you. There’s no greater motivation to stay active than getting outside. Find buddies. You’ve seen them when walking or driving past a park or other lo-cations around town–people who run to-gether, walk together or dance together. Joining a fi tness group doesn’t have to cost any money at all; you might make new friends and you’ll hopefully challenge and keep each other motivated. You don’t need all the latest gear. Un-less you need specifi c clothes or equip-ment for protection or safety, raid your closet to save on your fi tness plan. Keep it cheap and focus on improving your health. Consider setting workout milestones and reward yourself with a new purchase after hitting your goals. Adjust your commute. If you have ac-cess to public transportation, take the bus or train more often–you’ll automatically

walk more to and from your destinations. If you do drive, park at the farthest end of the lot to add a short, cost-free workout into your daily schedule. Prepare your own meals. Working out is important to getting healthy, but eating properly can help you achieve results fast-er. One of the most effective ways to im-prove a diet–and save money while doing it–is resolving to prepare more meals at home (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/lunch/). Also, commit to selecting more healthful options whether

by - Nathaniel Sillinyou are at home or dining out. There are almost limitless resources in libraries and online to learn about quick, healthy food preparation and smart food shopping. Bottom line: Working out on a budget doesn’t always require added expenses. There are many inexpensive or free op-tions to meet both health and fi nancial goals in your neighborhood, at work and many other places.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—As the weather improves, spring is the perfect time to ease back into working out. “The sooner you start, the easier it is to achieve your goal,” explains Tom Holland, exercise physiologist and Bowfl ex Fitness Advisor. “Small changes spread out over more time is the secret to success.” Holland recommends these three ways to improve your spring exer-cise routine. 1. Maximize your routine with a total-body focus. An effective fi tness regime targets the body as a whole, improving your overall fi tness level. For example, the Schwinn Airdyne Pro (www.schwin-nfi tness.com) incorporates Airdyne tech-nology for a total-body workout with a fan that uses your own body’s resistance for power. The bike lets you tailor the level of intensity as you set your own pace—the more effort given, the more resistance it delivers. This offers a custom workout suitable for any phase of your fi tness jour-ney. 2. Find a low-impact option that can support long-term success. Getting back into an exercise regime can be exciting, but fi nding activities that support individ-ual fi tness levels is essential. For example, running is an effective cardio workout, but can also be jarring for the body. For easing into a new routine, low-impact op-tions such as walking, cycling and rowing can all be great places to start. Or look for equipment that can help soften the impact of high-intensity workouts. The Octane Fitness Zero Runner ZR8 (www.octanefi t-ness.com/home/products/zero-runner/zr8) turns running into a low-impact exercise thanks to the uniquely designed frame and the machine’s natural, smooth motion that replicates real running. 3. Get intentional about your choic-es—work out smarter, not harder. Fit-ness needn’t be complicated to be effec-tive. Take advantage of tools that simplify your workout. For example, the Bowfl ex SelectTech 560 Dumbbells (www.bow-fl exselecttech.com) help you work out smarter with the built-in 3DT electronic sensor and Bluetooth connectivity that records reps and weight lifted, as well as

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Will an exercise journal help me be more active? A: An exercise journal is a way to track and log your exercise to see progress to-ward your physical activity goals and to plan your next steps. By keeping track of what types of exercise you do and when you do it, an exercise journal can help keep you accountable to yourself for the goals you set. Even if you feel discouraged by an unusually inactive day, seeing your progress can help you stay on track. Tracking also provides a reality check if one inactive day is growing into a pattern of inactivity. Keeping an exercise journal can also be a valuable tool to problem-solve how you will deal with barriers you encounter. You’ll be able to identify days, times and forms of exercise with which you seem to be most successful, and when there’s a consistent pattern of missing planned activity. For example, do plans work out better for morning, lunchtime or evening exercise? Do you stick with your plans better when committed to a group, one friend, or getting time alone? If you want to change your physical activity habits or want to maximize chances you’ll stick with current habits, experiment with different kinds of exercise journals. Try a simple paper form that you can personalize to track what’s important to you. Check out apps or online sources, which often offer some bells and whistles like graph-ing your progress or other motivational messages. What you track depends on your goals. Walkers and runners might track distance, steps, time or pace. Track strength-training progress by listing amount of weight and number of sets and repetitions to help you know where to start and when to advance the challenge so you keep gaining strength. To help you start and stick with exercise, keep track of what physical activi-ties you try and what you enjoy most. Also, add notes about how you feel on the days you exercise to remind yourself of the boost in energy or mood that you feel each time you’re active. Tracking could be just the help you need to make time for physical activ-ity more often.

Although they’re often the smallest rooms in the house, they’re also amongthe most essential and most commonly remodeled spaces. When youapproach design with both function and style in mind, you can elevateyour bathroom to be much more than an afterthought.

While the bathroom is a space where function matters greatly, that’s no reason toskip adding personal touches to the space. From fixtures and decor that reflect yourpersonality to accessories and features that fit your lifestyle, you can incorporatedetails that make your bathroom as much about you as the rest of your home.

The focal point of many bathrooms is the cabinetry, and the array of productsavailable today make it possible to create nearly any look you can imagine. With an option such as Wellborn Cabinet Inc.’s Elegant Bath Collection, the possibilitiesare endless. The extensive collection of designer vanity suites, basic vanities andaccessories fits a broad range of design aesthetics with an array of popular doorstyles and finishes.

If a remodel is in your plans, consider these in-the-now design trends to helpcreate a bathroom retreat that blends your individual style with everyday luxury.

Contemporary style Whether it’s a desire to capture the classic Zen spa style at home or simply a grow -ing penchant for modern interiors, the bathroom is no exception for those whogravitate toward contemporary design. Cabinetry featuring clean styles, sleek hard -ware and full overlay doors lend well to a contemporary look. Add com plemen tarylighting and fixtures, and keep accessories and decor simple and clutter-free toround out the look.

Painted cabinetryMany a bathroom has fallen victim to monochromatic monotony. Fortunately, these days more bathrooms are getting a fresh look filled with colorful expression. If you’ve considered the cabinetry off-limits before, now is the time to brighten up your bathroom and make a statement with boldly hued woodwork. For a moresubtle look, glazed richly toned stains may be the answer. Take another step towardthis color-friendly style with neutral painted finishes and paints with glazes. Or go all-in with fully custom painted cabinetry, with Wellborn Cabinet Inc.’sColorInspire program, that draws from the broad selection of shades from theextensive paint programs of well-known brands such as Sherwin Williams,Benjamin Moore and Valspar.

Floating vanitiesIn keeping with the trend toward modern motifs, floating vanities provide a clean, minimalistic appearance in a contemporary design. Particularly in a smallerroom, this open, airy look is a stylish alternative to the pedestal sink as it lends an illusion of space while bringing expanded flooring into view. Paired with the

proper cabi netry and colorscheme, the floating vanitycan work equally well in atransitional design.

Storage solutionsFrom pull-outs, tilt-ups androll-outs to hidden outlets,simplified storage is in bigdemand, according to theNational Kitchen & BathAssociation’s 2016 DesignTrends Report. Keepingclutter off the counter iseasier than ever with cleverstorage solutions such asWellborn Cabinet Inc.’saccessory base pullouts or toe kick drawers that createan extra place to stow yourbath essentials in the space

below the cabinet. Another solution to a common problem, the U-shaped slidingshelf wraps around the sink plumbing to hold towels, soaps and hair accessories,providing easy access to stored items while maximizing storage space inside your vanity.

Choose Your Door DesignThe type of door overlay you choose for your bathroom cabinetry can make a big difference in the overalllook of the room. Determine which door style fits best with your design:

Full overlay doors span over the frame and have a concealed hinge for a clean look.

Traditional overlay doors reveal some of the frame for a classic design.

Inset doors are placed inside the cabinet frame. Some brands, such as Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., offeroptions like beaded or non-beaded face frames.

LEO - (July 23, - Aug. 22)You need to trust your instincts in the absence of facts this week.VIRGO - (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)This week could be a memorable one in terms of reviving what was, not so long ago, dismissed as irrelevant or unsuitable.LIBRA - (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)If you’ve a growing sense of rebelliousness within you, then this is a perfect time to let it reveal itself.

(NAPSI)—For those with vision correc-tion needs, the daily rituals required in or-der to see clearly with glasses or contacts can be a real struggle. So it isn’t surprising that so many people consider LASIK as an attractive alternative to treat their vision correction issues. Although it is incred-ibly popular, LASIK is surprisingly mis-understood. Like many things that make their way into cultural norms, LASIK’s prevalence and success have led to the rise of many myths about the procedure. If you are among the millions considering LASIK, the American Refractive Surgery Council is here to dispel some common myths about the laser vision correction surgery: Myth: The LASIK procedure is the same today as when it was fi rst performed 20 years ago. Fact: Many new LASIK technologies and techniques have been introduced over the past two decades, many in just the past few years, that have improved the safety and visual results achieved for peo-ple choosing LASIK. As a result, today, LASIK has a 96 percent patient satisfac-tion rate. Myth: You can’t have LASIK if you have astigmatism. Fact: LASIK is approved to treat near-sightedness, farsightedness and astigma-tism. Advancements in LASIK make it possible for more people with different kinds of vision prescriptions to be treated than ever before. Myth: Everyone who wants LASIK can have it done. Fact: Not everyone is a good candidate for LASIK. If your corneas are too thin or irregular, or if you have certain eye or health diseases, LASIK may not be right for you. A qualifi ed ophthalmologist spe-cializing in refractive surgery can evaluate your vision and health to help determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK. Myth: You can cut the cost of LASIK by shopping around for a special deal. Fact: It’s true that many LASIK centers advertise special deals, but when it comes to your vision, you want what’s best for your eyes, not your wallet. Bargain-priced vision correction may not include the level of care you want or use the latest technologies. Look for an experienced, highly qualifi ed surgeon who works with the most advanced LASIK technologies available today. One deal you can feel good about: Many refractive surgeons of-fer free LASIK consultations. To fi nd out more about LASIK, read the American Refractive Surgery Council’s “Insight” blog at www.americanrefrac-tivesurgerycouncil.org/blog

At the left, Amber Webster can’t bear to look. It’s been a tough day on the course in the various establishments around town and they need some luck. Or maybe they just need to relax a little, and enjoy the party with some good food, and a couple more cool ones.

Research Suggests More Planning Needed (NAPSI)—About 10,000 baby boomers retire every day across Amer-ica but research from the Insured Re-tirement Institute (IRI) has found they are losing confi dence in their ability to attain fi nancial security during their re-tirement years. A 2015 study by the IRI found that only 27 percent of boomers are highly confi dent their savings will last throughout retirement. This is the lowest level since 2011, when this an-nual study began. Retirement planning experts say the lack of confi dence could be the result of a combination of factors that have made saving for a secure retirement more diffi cult. These factors include longer life spans and thus potentially

longer retirements, uncertainty with re-tirement programs such as Social Secu-rity and Medicare, and the rising cost of health care. The survey found that many boom-ers have not risen to the challenge and have inadequate savings for retirement. As a result, they may need to work longer than planned or face steep cut-backs to make ends meet in retirement. “Unfortunately, many baby boom-

ers are unprepared for retirement and few can be absolutely certain their sav-ings will last 20 to 30 years after they have stopped working,” IRI President and CEO Cathy Weatherford said. “But there’s some good news in our research. We have found—overwhelmingly—that those who have developed a holis-tic retirement plan are by far the most confi dent and best positioned to attain a fi nancially secure retirement.” National Retirement Planning Week® 2016 is April 11 to 15. Given the benefi ts of having a comprehensive retirement plan in place to guide you to a secure retirement, Americans are encouraged to use this time to develop their own plan. Those who have already done so are urged to review and update their plans. To help with the process, the Nation-al Retirement Planning Coalition estab-lished the website www.RetireOnYour-Terms.org, offering Americans of all ages the latest retirement planning in-formation, tools and resources. The site organizes these resources based on life stages, ranging from students all the way to those in their 70s and beyond. Those who require additional assis-tance and individualized guidance are encouraged to consult with a fi nancial professional. Financial advisers can help you explore your retirement needs and develop a savings plan to get there.
