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

Guest Columnist

“Christmas 2015” -by Bob Perry

It is Christmas time once again and may there be good cheer among man-kind and peace around the world. In the celebration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, may the teachings, lessons and examples of miracles He left be-hind be consolation during these stress-ful times of uncertainty. The one thing we all need to do is be prepared for the end of physical life through death by living a Christian way of life and lov-ing your neighbor as yourself. It is im-portant to review periodically how you are living such a life and look for im-provements therein. Loving yourself is often a diffi cult thing to accomplish as there are so very many temptations in life that defeat love. There is much truth to the perspective that the ability to love another is possible only if you love yourself. One of the keys to lov-ing yourself is to understand reverence and have a deep reverence for the gifts in life that were present when you en-ter this life. Included in the gifts is a physical body, a soul, a mind, a spirit-ual connection; all containing so much

potential in becoming a guiding light to the self and others. In having reverence for the physical body the rules need to be simple and it is up to you to create them. Recommended is not to change what was given you and maintain it with reverence. The mind is special and how the physical is maintained will refl ect on the mind as the chemical bal-ance within the body affects the func-tioning of the mental activity within the brain. The mind is ever powerful as it has the power to affect healing of the body by using the power of belief. During the days of Christmas celebra-tion review your beliefs and if they are lacking read some spiritual writings, possibly including the Bible, and fi nd the threads of eternal truths to follow. The Bible contains the answers to all the problems we face in life so become familiar with the parables put forth and realize the pathways available to you. Have a wonderful Christmas and give and receive with the love contained within.

With only three days remaining un-til Christmas vacation at the pub-lic schools, students were still busy absorbing rudiments of the three R’s at School Street Elementary School. Some were learning about equivalent fractions, some were working in writ-er’s workshops, and some reading read-er’s theatre plays. We also collected a couple of photos that show how third grade students at that school decided to give gifts of food, treats, and toys to the animals at the McKean County SPCA……..We encourage our read-ers to spend some time at this year’s First Night Celebration (Day-long New Year’s Eve entertainment for the whole family). Venues will run from 11:00 in the morning until the concluding fi reworks as we break into 2016. New this year will be the 4:00 PM -6:00 PM performance of the high energy, audience friendly N’Demand band, sure to highlight the memorable event. Tickets purchased in advance for this performance will come with a free general admission button and venue booklet, and cost only $20.00. Once again the general venue admission but-ton will come with a venue booklet and cost only $5.00.

On The Buffalo Bills- by Dave Close

For fi fteen years and now most likely sixteen years, the Buffalo Bills will not make the NFL play-offs and it makes a Bills fan wonder what happened to all of the preseason hype that seems to have eroded into just more BS! The blame fi l-ters onto many directions: the front offi ce, the coaches, and the players. The front of-fi ce hired Rex Ryan, who in turn hired his coaches (most who were with him with the Jets). Ryan talks a good game but the actions by his penalty-plagued players on the fi eld have been mediocre at best. So as the season nears an end, odds are that Bills fans will once again watch other teams, not the Bills, in the play-offs! I coached with Bill Polian back in the seventies in New York City. Bill was smart, tough and goal-orientated. He later built the Bills into winners and four Su-per Bowl appearances. He was one of the best at what he did. He hired coaches who also were the best at what they did. He got players who where dedicated and very good at what they did. Perhaps the cur-rent front offi ce, GM, coaches and players can refl ect back on the glory days of the Bills and make the changes it will take to at least make the play-offs without feed-ing the fans a bunch of excuses. Fans have heard those excuses for fi fteen, going on sixteen years!!!

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES

5 Things To Do With An Unexpected Inheritance -by Nathaniel Sillin

Unexpected money from a friend or relative can be a great surprise or a po-tentially diffi cult money lesson. How you plan for unexpected money issues overall can be a key to how well you’ll handle a sudden windfall. Many people don’t do so well. A recent study (http://researchnews.osu.edu/ar-chive/inheritance.htm) from Ohio State University suggests that adults who inherit money are saving only about half of what they receive. Researcher Jay Zagorsky re-ported that about only 11 percent of the participants had received an inheritance with the median amount only around $11,340. Zagorsky suggests awareness of such high spending numbers suggest it is time for a campaign on saving inherited wealth. Want to get there early? Here’s a plan for dealing with an unexpected inheritance or any other surprise money issues in the fu-ture: 1. Start by getting control of your current fi nances. Why wait for an inheritance? In 2013, the Gallup organization reported that only 1 in 3 Americans actually prepared a written or computerized household budg-et. If you’ve never prepared a budget be-fore, know that it is the traditional starting point for all personal fi nance decisions. 2. Start saving now. The long-term pur-pose of budgeting (http://www.practical-moneyskills.com/ budgeting/) is to fi nd excess dollars so you can save and plan for the future. Even if it’s a few dollars a week as other resources go toward everyday ex-penses, get in the habit of regular savings and investment now. Consider activating direct deposit to build those amounts au-tomatically. If an inheritance happens, you will already have savings habits in place and account relationships set up to receive the money. 3. Line up qualifi ed advice. Skilled fi nan-cial or tax experts can help you review what you’ve done so far with your money and suggest ways to make your personal savings or investments go farther. Having this relationship in place before an expect-ed – or unexpected – windfall is valuable. They’ll know your situation and the best ways to handle new money. If an inherit-ance happens, consider a certifi ed fi nan-cial planner, certifi ed public accountant and an attorney involved in trust or estate matters for your fi nancial team. 4. Evaluate your relationships. Money can change people for better or worse. This is why you see so many troubling news sto-ries about people who have an unexpect-ed windfall. The best approach to sudden money is to go quietly and immediately into the planning phase – don’t make an-

nouncements and involve only key loved ones who need to be part of the process. 5. Don’t go on a spending spree. If you’re lucky enough to receive an inheritance of signifi cant size, planning doesn’t mean quitting your job, buying a car or moving out of your current place, at least not im-mediately. Involve members of your fi nan-cial team in your planning. After any tax or estate issues are settled and money is free for use, extinguish long-standing ex-penses, build an emergency fund and then

establish savings and investments that are appropriate for you and your loved ones. Once details are complete, do have some fun, but try to keep the cost below 10 per-cent of the total inheritance amount. Bottom line: Inherited money can help build a fi nancial future. Get some advice, plan thoughtfully for taxes and invest-ments and save a little bit for fun or lux-ury. Without proper planning, windfalls don’t always last as long as you think.

Letters To The Editor: The FDA recently approved the sale of genetically modifi ed fi sh in the USA. This is the fi rst genetically altered ani-mal meat allowed for sale in the US. The Aqua-Advantage company will be selling this fi sh to supermarkets. I quote from an article in the New York Times (Nov. 20th, 2015 edition). “The Aqua-Advantage salmon contains a growth hormone gene from the Chinook salm-on and a genetic switch from the ocean pout, an eel-like creature, that keeps the transplanted gene continuously active.” This will cause the fi sh to grow much faster and the company will make more money selling this fi sh. The salmon won’t be labeled as GMO fi sh. When you go to the supermarket there’s no way to tell which fi sh are GMO and which aren’t. I think that this is terrible. The FDA should be for the people. The FDA ap-proves many medicines, which are ad-dictive and cause terrible side effects, one of which is death. How can we be sure that it is safe to eat this fi sh?According to the article I read in the New York Times, some super markets

have said that they have no plans to sell GMO fi sh because of local opposition.I think that anyone who is strongly apposed to the selling of GMO fi sh should let our local stores know this. We should threaten not to buy any fi sh from their store if they sell GMO fi sh. A boycott of this kind would be effec-tive if enough people joined in. I will be passing around a petition to send to the managers of our supermarkets. If anyone is interested in signing it, please contact me by mail or phone. Even if you approve of the GMO fi sh, I would like to hear from you. Sharlene Alden, 96-1/2 Euclid Ave., Bradford, PA 16701, 814-362-4750

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Did you know that keep-ing your toothbrush clean is a simple way to help protect your health and the health of your loved ones year-round, and especially during fl u season?

Dentists’ Advice for the Entire Family According to pediatric dentist Dan-ielle Gilbert-Fowler, D.M.D., “Oral health is not just about your mouth, it’s about your overall health. The mouth is a major doorway for all sorts of micro-organisms, which can be linked to any-thing from the common cold to heart disease and diabetes. Hence, the impor-tance of having a healthy mouth cannot be overstated.” “More than 300 kinds of microor-ganisms thrive in the human mouth,” explains Astrid Shroetter, D.D.S. “What’s more, the typical toothbrush is reused for months and never cleaned thoroughly.” Research indicates that kids get sick on average about 10 times a year—that’s almost once a month. While den-tists and parents both encourage good oral hygiene, it would be nice to do so without worrying about potential rein-fection caused by brushing teeth with

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: How am I supposed to use those “% Daily Value” fi gures on food labels? A: Checking “% Daily Value” information can help you in two ways: as a guide for identifying foods relatively high or low in certain nutrients, and as a tool for com-paring different food choices. The Daily Value is a research-based estimate of how much of that nutrient an aver-age adult should eat as part of a healthy 2000-calorie diet. The % Daily Value tells you how much of the target amount for that nutrient is in a serving of that food, based on the serving size listed on the label. For a nutrient that’s best to limit, such as saturated fat or sodium, containing less than 5 percent of Daily Value means a food can be an especially good choice, while containing 20 percent or more of the Daily Value signals need for caution. But if it’s a nutrient you’re trying to boost in your eating habits, such as dietary fi ber or vitamin C, a food that contains 20 percent or more of Daily Value can be a good choice to help you reach healthy levels. The % Daily Value (%DV) fi gures won’t give you – or any individual – precise help because people’s needs vary depending on age, gender and overall calorie require-ments. But you can use the %DV to compare brands to help you choose a lower sodium soup or a higher fi ber breakfast cereal, for example. When you compare %DV, check the serving sizes on the packages to make sure you’re comparing the same amounts.

contaminated toothbrushes. As Dr. Gilbert-Fowler puts it, “You wouldn’t clean your house with a dirty wash-cloth. Why clean your teeth with a dirty toothbrush?”

A Solution “It’s important to keep toothbrushes in a clean environment and separate from other toothbrushes,” recommends Gilbert-Fowler. “Use of a Steripod® clip-on toothbrush protector will help keep your toothbrush clean and protect against outside contaminants and cross contamination from other toothbrushes. It’s important for kids and adults alike to replace toothbrushes every three months or more frequently after any ill-ness.” Developed by doctors and inde-pendently tested for effi cacy at an ac-credited lab, Steripod is a clip-on pro-tector that fi ts any standard or electric toothbrush. Using a patented natural vapor shield of thymol, derived from the thyme plant, Steripod keeps tooth-brushes fresh and clean for up to three months. Simply clip it on your electric or manual toothbrush and it goes to work; no cables or batteries are needed. You can use it at home, work, the gym, school or when you travel.

More Pearls of Wisdom for Your Pearly Whites:

To further put the bite on dental dis-ease, heed these fi ve tips from the ex-perts at the American Dental Associa-tion: 1. Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled brush. 2. Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or if the bristles are frayed. 3. Use an ADA-accepted fl uoride toothpaste.

Bradford Journal Photo At School Street Elementary School, De-cember 21st, third grade teacher Mrs. Kit-tell asked one of her students, Owen Man-ion 8, to explain equivalent fractions to the class, December 21st, and Owen did a great job. Here he stands at the board with a classmate Katie Courteau 8, who is probably happy that she wasn’t the one chosen to do the explaining.

Resolve To Give Blood In January (ERIE, PA)– This January, during Na-tional Blood Donor Month, the American Red Cross encourages people to roll up their sleeves to give blood to help main-tain a suffi cient blood supply for patients. Since 1970, National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January to not only honor blood and platelet donors, but also to help increase donations during the winter months. Maintaining a suffi -cient blood supply for patients is diffi cult at this time of year because extreme win-ter weather and seasonal illnesses often impact donor turnout. Karla Essmiller became a blood do-nor in college, but the importance of giv-ing blood hit home when several family members had medical emergencies. “It only takes once sitting in a hospital, pray-ing that your loved one will live through the day, to know how thankful you are for every single thing done to help them,” she said. “Donating blood is a simple gift that I can make that may help up to three peo-ple live another day. That makes me feel like a hero.” The Red Cross encourages eligible do-nors to resolve to give blood regularly, be-ginning in January. Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types AB, O, B negative and A negative. To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcross-blood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming blood donation opportunities:

How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcross-blood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identifi ca-tion are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet cer-tain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and

their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profi t organization that depends on volun-teers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org or visit us on Twitter at @RedCross.

Four Tips For A Safe Holiday Season (NAPSI)—Between picking up last-minute presents and visiting guests and family, don’t forget safety precautions around the home to avoid preventable accidents, especially with small chil-dren. As you decorate your home for the holidays, you may be unknowingly displaying household hazards for your young children. Children are curious and are constantly exploring, and often have a tendency to put items in their mouth. To avoid a potential accident in your home this holiday season, observe these four simple suggestions and keep your family safe from accidental inges-tions and your days merry and bright. 1. Safe cleanup. Amid all the hustle and bustle of the holidays and all the prep work needed to get things ready, it’s good to remember to keep young children out of the laundry room. A recent study conducted by the Ameri-can Cleaning Institute found that over half of parents (61 percent) are storing laundry packets in-sight or in-reach of children. These packets contain highly concentrated detergent and can cause serious injury or illness if exposed to the eyes or swallowed. To ensure that your little ones are safe, always store

tree. Ornaments can fall and break due to people brushing up against the tree or the tree limbs drooping over time. Be sure to keep a close eye on young children around the tree as these orna-ments could be a hazard if handled in-correctly or swallowed. Keep this advice in mind this holi-day season and it can help make a saf-er, happier one for you and your loved ones. Happy Holidays! The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) urges parents and caregivers to keep their families safe from accidental ingestions this holiday season and re-evaluate their laundry routines. To learn more about ACI’s simple laundry safety steps, visit www.keypledge.com

liquid laundry packets up high and away from children. 2. Be bright about lights. When setting up your decorative lighting this year, be sure to replace any string of lights that has worn, broken cords or loose connections. Children may be mesmerized by the holiday glow, which could lead to the accidental ingestion of a broken light. Always keep a close eye on your holiday lights throughout the season as some lights could break af-ter you have done your initial holiday decorating. 3. Plant precautions. If you deco-rate with holiday plants, keep them where pets and children can’t reach. Poinsettias may not be as dangerous as some people believe but they can make an animal sick and cause a rash in hu-mans. Mistletoe and holly, however, can be more dangerous than generally known, especially if ingested, so be sure to hang them out of sight and reach of small children and pets. 4. Keep ornaments on the tree. Decorating the tree is a holiday tradi-tion that is enjoyed by many. Don’t forget to make sure the ornaments are fully intact and securely fastened to the

Cheer Your Guests With Healthful Choices (NAPSI)—When the party’s at your place, you want to put out a spread that both tastes good and is good for your guests. Experts can offer a few tips on how to make a meal that is both deli-cious and healthful. Consider this: The National Cancer Institute estimates that at least 35 per-cent of all cancers have a nutritional connection. It could be obesity, insulin resistance, sex hormone changes or im-paired blood glucose levels, depending on the type and location of the cancer. So when planning a menu for your next family dinner, major occasion or get-together with friends, you want to offer a healthy meal. Consider both the different dishes and how they’re pre-pared. Doctor’s Advice: Here are four tips from Dr. Julianne Dunne, gynecolo-gist and obesity medicine specialist at Westmed Medical Group: 1. Side with the good guys: When it comes to side dishes and appetizers, stick to fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and healthy fats and oils. Instead of potato chips, pita chips and corn chips, offer a crudité selection of celery and carrot

sticks, cucumber slices and zucchini spears. Use these in healthy dips, such as guacamole (avocados are a source of healthy fats), hummus (chickpeas are high in protein) and salsa (full of veg-etables). Also, offer a selection of nuts. 2. Meat the latest standards. A recent report from the World Health Organi-zation said eating processed meats may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. It may be best to choose grass-fed or pasture-raised meat that is free of an-tibiotics and hormones. Look for the term “certifi ed organic” on the label to avoid pesticides, fertilizers and GMOs. Choose unprocessed, nitrate-free and low-sodium options. Explains Dr. Jonathan Finegold, Gastroenterology, Westmed Medical Group: “It’s well established that a diet high in red meat, especially processed meats, is a risk factor for colon cancer. I recommend a balanced diet high in fi sh, chicken and vegetables. There can be some red meat but it should be grilled to medium—not well-done—consistency and certainly not fried or overcooked. Lean meat such as a fi let mignon may be better than a fatty T-bone steak.”

3. Go wild for fi sh. When serving fi sh, your best bets are wild salmon, sardines, mussels, rainbow trout and Atlantic mackerel. A great choice for an entrée can be poached salmon served with steamed broccoli and mashed cau-lifl ower. This meal is high in omega-3 fatty acids and fi ber but low in calories and carbohydrates. 4. Cooking caution. The National Institute of Cancer warns that when meat, fi sh and poultry are cooked us-ing high temperatures—such as in pan-frying or grilling directly over a high fl ame-chemicals that are potential car-cinogens can form. Safer methods of preparation include steaming, baking at or below 350° F, boiling or poaching. If you’re going to use the grill, turn the meat frequently and avoid any burnt, blackened or charred portions. Learn More: You can fi nd more good advice at www.westmedgroup.com
