“The Climate In Paris” -by Bob Perry

Last Saturday there was an agreement in Paris from representatives from close to 200 nations to fi ght climate change. The identifi ed culprit is greenhouse gases with man being identifi ed as most responsible for the increases of it. As we know, the greenhouse gases trap the heat that the environment. The real goal is to reduce the man-made emissions to a level whereby the forests and oceans can absorb them. We could have the oceans rise and therefore have more emissions absorbed. Realistically, however, mankind can take it upon itself to create more and larger forests. Having planted thou-sands of trees in my lifetime, I urge anyone interested in helping to contact organizations, such as the Boy Scouts of America and conservation groups, that plant trees annually, and help them plant some. If you are a land-owner with a certain acreage you may qual-ify for free trees from a state agency including the game commission. You will do more to help the environment than the representatives who attended the meetings in Paris who are unlikely to wander out to plant anything. It does not take a lot of brain pow-er to understand the greenhouse gases produced by the mere traveling to Paris by the representatives is greater than some entire third-world nations for a whole year. There is a long-term goal to keep global warming below 3.6 de-grees Fahrenheit. The agreement has no teeth because there are no sanctions that will be placed on countries that do not cut the gases. While there is an agreement there it needs to be ratifi ed by 55 countries be-fore it takes effect. More trips by hun-dreds of dignitaries producing more pollution to get it done. We all should be able to remember the issue of the de-forestation of the Amazon Rain Forest as it was and continues to be the most important forest in the world. The size of the Forest is 48 times the size of the United States. Hard to imagine! In or-der to help the poor countries fi ght cli-mate change some $100 Billion annu-ally had been previously pledged by the wealthy nations, but the agreement did not state any defi nite amounts. The United States has been investing some $400 million annually in grant-based resources in helping developing countries minimize greenhouse gas-ses. In November, the Obama Admin-istration announced an initiative titled

the American Campus Act on Climate (ACAC) (not to be confused with the American College Application Cam-paign) to get support from higher edu-cation in the climate change issue and hopefully more support for the ‘Cli-mate in Paris’. Over 300 colleges and universities have joined the initiative and they have adopted a pledge to sup-port the United Nations Climate Nego-tiations in Paris along with seeing the need to accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy. Realistically, the change to low-car-bon will occur as the economics permit reasonable cost of the alternative ener-gy sources. Individually, we can be part of the so-lution by reducing pollution and plant-ing some trees.

We stopped at three locations for this week’s Bradford Journal photos. The fi rst was the band room at School Street Elementary School, December 10th, where we watched a play entitled Cindy Eller Plays Ball by Joanna Korba, a mod-ern day version of Cinderella, presented by Julia Speaker’s 3rd grade enrichment class. Parents and grandparents were in at-tendance for the event where enrichment students from fi ve different classrooms worked together for a couple of months to put on the play. Many pictures and a video of the play can be found in the photo gal-lery associated with this week’s issue. Our next location was downtown Bradford, December 12th, where we photographed a couple of events taking place during the Old Fashioned Downtown Christmas. We spent most of our time looking around and enjoying the activity on the Streets but we stopped long enough during a Studio B dance performance to take some photos for this issue. The last stop for the Brad-ford Journal this week was the Chil-dren’s Christmas party sponsored by the Bradford American Legion Post #108/Club/Auxiliary held at the Pizza Hut, De-cember 13th. There, two photographers, Robin Ackler and Mary DePalma covered the event……Posters are up, and the media is announcing First Night Brad-ford 2016! And admission buttons to all regular First Night Bradford 2016 ven-ues are now available at the following locations: Tops Market, The Tin Ceiling, Bella Capelli, 6V Sales & Service, Mc-Kean County Animal Hospital, WESB/WBRR Offi ce, Colonial Media Group, Bradford Chamber of Commerce and the Bradford Family YMCA. For the low, low price of $5.00, new year revelers can at-tend all the events beginning at 11AM at the Bradford Area Public Library, con-tinuing through the fi rst night fi rsts from 1-3PM, leading up to an evening of enter-tainment from 6PM until 11PM (at most venues). Also up are posters announcing a special two hour show by the high in-tensity, audience friendly national band, N’Demand to be held at the Bradford Area High School, from 4PM until 6PM. Tick-ets for this special show, guaranteed to bring lasting memories of the New Year’s Eve, can be had for an additional $15.00 if they are bought in advance along with the $5.00 venue button (a total of $20.00 will buy one show ticket and one button if pur-chased in advanced). So it’s time to hurry! Christmas is coming and the $5.00 venue buttons will make good stocking stuffers. On the other hand, the $20.00 N’Demand Ticket and venue button combo is guar-anteed to bring a great New Year’s Eve experience- an experience that Dr. Living-ston Alexander, President of Pitt Bradford might even consider to be “Beyond”.

Photo by Mary DePalma On December 13th, in Bradford, Santa (the real one- he tells us it’s the only name he has), holds 8-month-old Anna Kellogg during the Annual American Legion Post 108/Club/Auxiliary Children’s Christmas Party held this year at Pizza Hut. Anna is the daughter of Cabel and Emily Kellogg of Shinglehouse, PA. They were in town shopping for a Christmas tree. While they stopped for a little break, when they saw the real Santa, they jumped right into the party. (See more pictures in the photo gal-lery.)

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Here’s something that is sure to be sweet music to the ears of every chocolate lover: A little dose of the world’s most popular food type and fl avor can ac-tually support an individual’s weight-loss goals. The reasons a bit of chocolate can be helpful primarily have to do with indul-gence, satisfaction and balanced eating. Indeed, for the vast majority of people, dieting involves taking on rigid restric-tions like the complete elimination of cer-tain foods or eating unreasonably small portions. These are extremely diffi cult to sustain over time. In “The Magic of Sen-sible Dieting,” author and registered nurse Bella Tindale explains that it is these strict constraints that make it almost impossible to stick to harsh regimens. Balanced eating, however, is not about complete restriction but more on setting practical boundaries. It allows for con-trolled, portioned and moderate indul-gences. A small amount of chocolate, even consumed daily, can offer a delicious treat without disrupting a healthy eating life-style. “Balance is what makes weight loss sustainable,” said registered dietitian and nutrition communications specialist Kelli Shallal, MPH, RD. “Small, regular indul-gences enable you to enjoy life without guilt and without compromising long-term healthy weight goals. It might seem contradictory, but the truth is that you can maintain balanced eating and still have a little chocolate daily.” One of the keys to success is focusing on rewards rather than restrictions. Hav-ing something to look forward to each day can provide a strong incentive for staying on that healthy diet track. Another key is avoiding those pangs of guilt that can lead to a sense of help-lessness or loss of control, feelings that can sabotage regular eating habits that are healthful and maintainable. In fact, the psychology of dieting suggests that those who associate foods like chocolate with

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: If I order vegetable-topped pizza, do a couple of slices count as a serving of vegetables? A: Vegetable pizzas are a great choice, but most take-out or frozen pizzas don’t sup-ply a meal’s worth of vegetables, even with tomato sauce. If you order a combination of several different veggie toppings, an entire 14-inch (large 8-slice) pizza might con-tain the equivalent of about a cup. To make pizza fi t as part of a healthfully balanced meal, try adding extra veggies of your own. While waiting for pizza delivery, micro-wave, steam or sauté some vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers or broccoli. Leafy greens work especially well as an add-on, because a good size portion cooks down to a size that can fi t on each pizza slice. You can use fresh, pre-washed spinach or any leafy greens and microwave them right in the bag, or quickly thaw and heat some frozen spinach or kale for your pizza. Sauté these briefl y with some garlic or sprinkle with a dash of Parmesan for extra fl avor as you add it to the pizza. Another option is to make pizza at home, starting with pre-made crust or whole-wheat dough to save time, if you like. Then you can load the pizza with lots of vegetables, making it healthier, tastier and more fi lling. Yet another approach for pizza as part of a healthful meal is to have a side salad or a plate of antipasto to round out the meal, with raw vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, marinated mushrooms or artichoke hearts, leftover roasted vegetables and raw carrot sticks or pepper strips. These options provide the chance to get a rea-sonable proportion of the two to three cups of vegetables daily that are recommended for us from age nine onward. Moreover, getting extra vegetables can help make a meal fi lling enough without the excess calories that can add up so quickly when satisfying hunger with pizza alone.

“celebration” have a better time losing weight; this, according to research pub-lished within the U.S. National Library of Medicine. “When you treat small indulgences of chocolate as a celebration, you set your-self up for more success in losing weight because you will maintain a feeling of be-ing in control of your nutrition,” said Suk Cho, Ph.D. and Chief Science Offi cer with Isagenix. The organization is a leading global health and wellness company and provider of nutritional systems and solu-tions for energy, performance and weight loss. “Moderation is still the recipe for suc-cess. Chocolate should be just one small part of balanced eating. But it is good to know that a little of this satisfying comfort food can be incorporated into a health-conscious lifestyle.” Cho added that there are great ways to appropriately include chocolate into eve-ryday eating. One example is Isagenix’s IsaDelights® premium individually pack-aged chocolates. The line features dark and milk chocolate fl avors, but has been recently expanded to include new salted caramel milk chocolate and dark choco-late with mint options. Much like managing money, when one pays close attention to the daily budget, buying something special once in a while is okay. The same holds true for dieting. Stick-ing to a sensible plan that is higher in pro-tein, higher in nutrients and lower in un-healthy fats and refi ned carbohydrates is a proven way to help achieve weight-loss goals. And it provides the fl exibility that allows for that extra little chocolate treat now and then. For more information about why choc-

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES

Don’t Let The Last-Minute Holiday Rush Crush Your Budget -by Nathaniel Sillin

For all the planning we do during the holidays, the last couple of weeks be-fore the big parties and family gather-ings can trip up the best of budgets. Perhaps what’s needed is some last-minute tricks to keep overspending to a minimum. Here are a few ideas to get you through. Track your spending. If you’re close to the upper end of your budget and you’re not quite sure what’s hap-pened, go through those receipts. May-be you and your partner or spouse are shopping independently, spending too much on gas, meals out or failing to co-ordinate on the items you need. Maybe the kids are adding items to their lists at the last minute. It’s toughest to say no to kids, so see if there are adult gifts, decorating items or seasonal specialty food you really don’t need to purchase. In other words, if your budget is tight, identify the expenses you can alter and adjust your spending plans. Don’t ignore the cost of returns. Some retailers are strict about return policies on a host of items, which makes it doubly important to save all your re-ceipts. If you’re giving gift cards, make sure the recipient has the purchase re-ceipt in case the card doesn’t work. If you’ve bought items online, make sure you keep critical return informa-tion and package return stickers in case you need them. However, take one ad-ditional step with shipped returns – see whether the seller is charging you more for their convenient shipping label op-tion than shipping the item back locally in your own packaging. Finally, keep restocking fees in mind – some retail-ers charge in excess of 10 percent of the item’s cost to accept a return, par-ticularly for electronic and mechanical purchases that involve heavy packag-ing. Ultimately, the best time to check return policies is before you buy, but if you do have to return items, consolidate those trips to save time, gas and money. “Piggyback” the purchases of oth-ers. If you have a large gift list for loved ones or family, be a nosy shopper. Maybe your sister is fi nally giving her movie freak husband the room-sized fl atscreen he’s always wanted. Maybe your nieces and nephews are getting ex-pensive dolls, toys or technology items that require clothes or software of some sort. If you are trying to cut your holi-day budget, check in with loved ones to see if you can supplement these expen-sive gifts with accessories that might be easier on your budget and appreciated just as much. Pitching in for a couple

of outfi ts for the expensive doll – rather than having to buy the expensive doll itself – saves you money, gives your loved ones a break on the subsequent purchases they’ll need to make and the recipient gets more of what he or she wants. A win-win all around. Watch out for theft. All the smart shopping in the world won’t lessen the headaches from thieves who target your packages, personal and online data or the contents of your wallet. Fast-ap-proaching holidays and busy sched-

ules can leave us tired and distracted, so keep a close watch on potential risk for identity theft, (https://www.iden-titytheft.gov) package theft from cars, homes and apartment vestibules. If you take public transportation, use extra caution to keep your money, purchases and personal technology hidden from thieves. Bottom line: Don’t let the last, busy weeks of the holiday season knock you off budget or threaten your fi nancial se-curity in other ways.

Gov. Wolf Announces Partnership With Waze (Harrisburg, PA) – Governor Tom Wolf has announced travel information available for Pennsylvania roadways is being expanded through a free, two-way data-sharing partnership between the Pennsylvania Department of Trans-portation (PennDOT) and Waze (www.waze.com), a real-time crowdsourced navigation app through which drivers share road conditions. “As travelers rely more and more on their smartphones for real-time traffi c data, this new partnership represents yet another way PennDOT is modern-izing to keep up with the demands of its customers,” Governor Wolf said. The program promotes more ef-

said Paige Fitzgerald, Connected Citi-zens Program Manager at Waze. “With many Pennsylvanians already using Waze and partnerships with more than 25 U.S. municipalities including the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Waze already enables and empowers drivers. Our goal is to further connect Pennsylvania cities through this data exchange. The immense data PennDOT can contribute to Waze makes them an important partner moving forward.” Deep technical knowledge is not re-quired to be selected as a partner of the Connected Citizens Program. It is criti-cal that prospective partners prove their dedication to citizen engagement and commit to use Waze data to improve city effi ciency. Partners are also expect-ed to measure and share their fi ndings with other municipal organizations, de-veloping case studies that serve as keys to a global set of improvements which can be made for collective mobility.

fi cient traffi c monitoring by sharing free, anonymous, crowdsourced inci-dent reports and slow-down data from Waze users (called Wazers). Waze will receive PennDOT’s road condition re-porting data to share with its users, while the department will use data re-ported by Wazers to supplement inter-nal traffi c-condition monitoring. “PennDOT is always looking for ways to make it easier and safer to trav-el on our roadways,” PennDOT Sec-retary Leslie S. Richards said. “This partnership will advance our efforts in showing a government that works by improving our data while providing verifi ed information through the app.” According to Waze, Philadelphia has more than 417,000 active users per month and Pittsburgh has more than 80,000 active users per month. The mission of Waze Connected Citizens Program is to help Wazers, as well as cities and citizens collaborate to im-prove their community and answer the question “What’s happening on our roads right now, and where?” “Waze is only as strong as the in-formation it receives from its users,”

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGE

The Real Cost Of C.A.R.E. (NAPSI)—According to the Cent-ers for Disease Control and Prevention, life expectancy in the U.S. is at a re-cord high of 78.8 years and continuing to climb. As Americans live longer, 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 per-cent of adults 65 or older will require some form of long-term care (“LTC”). However, Northwestern Mutual’s new C.A.R.E. (Costs, Accountabilities, Re-alities, Expectations) Study suggests that Americans are not prepared for the fi nancial and emotional implications of caregiving.

Though many caregivers ultimate-ly fi nd the experience very gratifying, the day-to-day realities could be quite sobering. According to the C.A.R.E. Study, the majority (59 percent) of Americans feel that taking care of two adults between the ages of 85 and 90 could be harder than managing two children, ages 3 and 5. This may ex-plain why three in 10 caregivers experi-ence anxiety while nearly half say they are routinely tired. Kamilah Williams-Kemp, vice presi-dent, long-term care, Northwestern Mu-tual, notes that caregivers often don’t know what to expect until they are in the situation. “People tend to believe that caregiving is mainly about chores like food shopping, so the intimate na-ture of some of the tasks and the gen-eral role reversal between parent and child can be quite eye-opening,” says Williams-Kemp. The largest gap between perception and reality may be around fi nancial considerations. Experienced caregiv-ers who have incurred expenses as a result estimate those costs comprised roughly a quarter of their monthly budget. Among Americans who antici-pate future caregiving costs, two-thirds say that would have a signifi cant toll on their fi nances—yet four in 10 have not planned for how they would cover them. “Tapping into savings/retirement funds or reducing discretionary spend-ing are common ways of managing the fi nancial pressures of caregiving,” continues Williams-Kemp. “However, this approach may actually create more stress because it impacts lifestyle and future fi nancial security.” Northwestern Mutual’s 2015 Plan-ning & Progress Study showed that

Americans are already concerned about having suffi cient savings to take care of their own needs. More than one in 10 (12 percent) think there is a 100 per-cent chance their savings will run out someday, while many working Ameri-cans expect to delay retirement past tra-ditional retirement age due to necessity, citing insuffi cient savings as a key rea-son. The good news is that it’s possible to take control of your potential long-term care needs, which could help mitigate the stress regarding care decisions for your loved ones. Williams-Kemp sug-gests the following: • Recognize that you have options. While it’s best to get a jump start on long-term care planning, there is a range of solutions at various life stages that can be integrated into your fi nan-cial 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 addressing your own, can be key to building a sound fi nancial strat-egy. • Talk to a fi nancial professional. Don’t underestimate the value of ex-pert guidance in navigating complex scenarios and tailoring a strategy that aligns with your individual goals, needs and resources.
