Guest Columnist

“State Of The Union Lies 2014” -by Bob Perry Having stated that children lie, I feel that the occupant in the White House is some-one that has not grown up as of yet. How is it that a man of 52 years of age, holding the most prestigious job in the nation con-tinues to tell untruths? There is a problem with his honesty, and as I have mentioned so many times, the lies MUST stop! In the latest State of the Union speech, Barack Hussein Obama is being credited with telling seven (7) whoppers! 1) He has created 8 million jobs. Lie! There has been a net gain of 2.4 million jobs on Obama’s watch which does not ac-count for population growth and we now have the lowest labor participation rate since 1978. 2) “More than 9 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage.” Lie! He is counting the people that already had Medicaid but must sign up anyway. Additionally, over 5 million have lost their insurance because of the ACA (Affordable Care Act) result-ing in fewer having insurance than before the Act. 3) Raising the minimum wage will help families. “We have a bill - a bill to fi x that by lifting the minimum wage to $10.10. Lie! Artifi cially forcing a business to pay more than the competitive wage is worth will put more people out of work. The lack of business experience is showing more and more. 4) Income inequality is worse than it has ever been. Lie! Income inequality was worse in 2000 and 2007. It is the same as it was in 1987 if you consider the income redistribution that is occurring in addition to the taxing that is increasing. BIG Lie! 5) His wage hike for federal workers will bring immediate relief. Lie! The action he plans to take is to require federal contrac-tors to pay federally funded employees at least a minimum of $10.10 per hour. The action he could take would only apply to new contracts and the earliest would be in 2015. His idea if immediate is a strange one. In addition the increase would apply to about 11% of the employees he men-tioned. 6) He will cut red tape that is holding up construction jobs. Lie! The hold up in the construction jobs is that the government does NOT have the money for the projects being held up! Note that under Obama’s watch, 720,000 jobs have been lost. Lets see if he gets around to approving the Keystone Pipeline project after this, for he has no reason to hold it up any longer. The State Department has given the green light. Feel like it will be many months as he continues to drag his feet.? 7) He claims to have kept Medicare pre-miums fl at, added years of fi nances to for Medicare and lowered drug costs for sen-

iors. Lie! The ACA has increased Medi-care premiums for upper income ben-efi ciaries and he has indicated he wants expand the increase. The giant trust fund for inpatient care gained solvency of more than a decade because of cuts to service providers under the ACA. Those cuts, however, cannot be used to expand cover-age for then uninsured and shore up Medi-care. The ‘Lie of the year’ for 2013 was made by President Obama when he stated re-peatedly “If you like your health care you can keep it”. This promise was impossi-ble to keep and he knew this at the times he repeatedly stated it. While what he said was a lie to all Americans but he made a failed attempt to apologize only to those affected by stating “I’m sorry that they are fi nding themselves in this situation based on my assurances they got from me,”. Last Fall approximately 4 million policy-holders got letters of cancellation and this year there will be millions more that will lose their insurance who need a sincere apology. Do not expect it! The apology will not be accepted and in November in-cumbent elected offi ce holders that voted and supported the ACA law will fi nd that elections do have consequences. Make sure you know how your repre-sentatives in Congress voted according to their position.

Photos for this week’s paper come from visits to various locations around town February 2nd, during Super Bowl Game No. XLVIII. We took a couple photos at the New Key-stone, a couple at Rookies Sports Bar, many more at the Bradford American Legion Club Post #108, and others at the VFW’s Vet’s Club. And while we were at it, we did our best to keep track of the action on the fi eld, and the new and interesting commercials. The competi-tion was, to say the least, disappointing (with one team so thoroughly embar-rassing the other), but we did enjoy the commercials and the interaction with the people at the various clubs who were celebrating the game……..Valentine’s Day will soon be here and the special Valentine’s page in this week’s paper is sure to give our readers a little help with ideas for the occasion. Smith’s Watch & Clocks’ Incredible Store re-minds us that they have jewelry that is always 33-50% lower in price than all local competition, and KEL’S Incred-ible Gift shop at the same Smith’s loca-tion, has among other fi ne gifts, a line of alcohol Free perfumes that hold their fragrance longer; Kristin’s Konsign-ments is once again offering their buy 1 and get one free - all for a dollar; Bot-torf’s Embroidery reminds area coach-es and players that a 20% discount is available for Team Uniforms through March; John Williams European Pastry recommends sweets, and the great food in their restaurant for our sweethearts; Man’s World reminds us that they have been a local trusted source of tuxedos for 40 years; and Timeless Treasur-ers recommends that we stop at their store, and “renew our love with a gift that lasts”. We suggest that our readers check the special Valentine’s page (pg 11) in this edition and make a special effort to stop in town to take advantage of the offers.………The executive Di-rector of the Bradford Area Public Library, Guy Bennett, mentions this week, that the children’s book enti-tled Pluto’s Secret: An Icy World’s Tale of Discovery, is now available there. For a summary of the book and a bio on the author, Dr. Margaret A. Weitekamp, see page 9 of this issue……..Much time has been spent discussing and exam-ining the drawbacks and merits of in-creasing the minimum wage. We think it would be more effective to take the time instead, to look at factors in our time worn economic and social systems that make such wage adjustments ap-pear necessary in the fi rst place.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESRule Changes Tighten Reverse Mortgage Eligibility

-by Jason Alderman Reverse mortgages have become increasingly popular in recent years, as cash-strapped seniors seek ways to keep pace with rising expenses – not to mention cope with the pummeling their retirement savings took during the Great Recession. But the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) noticed that borrowers increasingly have been opting to withdraw most or all of their home equity at closing, leaving little or nothing for future needs. Consequently, by mid-2012 nearly 10 percent of re-verse mortgage holders were in default and at risk of foreclosure because they couldn’t pay their taxes and insurance.That’s why Congress authorized HUD to tighten FHA reverse mortgage re-quirements in order to: encourage homeowners to tap their equity more slowly; better ensure that borrowers can afford their loan’s fees and other fi -nancial obligations; and strengthen the mortgage insurance fund from which loans are drawn.

Here are the key changes: Most reverse mortgage borrowers can now withdraw no more than 60 percent of their total loan during the fi rst year. Previously, borrowers could tap the entire amount on day one – a recipe for future fi nancial disaster for those with limited means. The fi rst-year limit may be waived for certain homeowners whose “man-datory obligations” (e.g., upfront insur-ance premiums, loan origination fees, delinquent federal debt, etc.) exceed the 60 percent amount; but they’ll have to pay a higher upfront mortgage in-surance premium – 2.5 percent of the home’s appraised value instead of the normal 0.5 percent. (Note: Credit card debt isn’t considered a mandatory obli-gation, so those with signifi cant credit card debt may not be able to withdraw enough to pay off their debt.) Generally, borrowers can take the money either as a lump sum at closing (with a fi xed-rate loan), or as an ongo-ing line of credit or monthly payments (adjustable rate loan). However, lump-sum payments are now subject to the 60 percent mandatory obligations test, so to withdraw more than that you’ll have to go the line-of-credit route, at least for the fi rst year; after that, you can tap the remaining balance if you wish. Under previous rules, almost anyone with sizeable home equity could take out a reverse mortgage. Now, potential borrowers must undergo a detailed fi -nancial assessment to ensure they’ll be able to meet future tax and insurance

obligations. Lenders are required to review the borrower’s credit history. They also must analyze all income from earnings, pensions, IRAs, 401(k) plans or Social Security, and weigh it against the bor-rower’s likely living expenses, includ-ing other outstanding debts. Those who come up short (i.e., are more likely to default) may be required to set aside money from their reverse mortgage to cover future obligations – thereby low-ering the amount of equity they’d be able to tap. The new regulations also reduce the maximum amount of home equity that can be borrowed against – 10 to 15 per-cent less than before, on average. Gen-

erally, the older you are, the more eq-uity you have and the lower the interest rate, the more you’ll be able to borrow. Note: The age component of this cal-culation is based on the youngest party listed on the loan. Because reverse mortgages are so complicated, potential borrowers are required to consult an HUD-approved counselor before being allowed to ap-ply. Do preliminary research at helpful sites sponsored by HUD (www.hud.gov), the Consumer Financial Protec-tion Bureau (www.cfpb.gov) and AARP (www.aarp.org). Also check with an accountant, fi nancial planner or lawyer specializing in elder law to make sure a reverse mortgage is right for you.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDETreating Tumors With Radiowaves

(NAPSI)--As many scientists have dis-covered, doing medical research is a bit like climbing a mountain. You start off all full of vigor and then as the way gets steeper, the climber gets wearier—but the goal, reaching the peak, is still in sight. Similarly, people trying to fi nd treatments for cancer often start with a great idea but then fi nd themselves slog-ging through diffi cult experiments, need-ing funds and equipment and so on while still trying to reach their goal of improving and saving lives.

An Intriguing Line of Research For example, a cancer patient, John Kanzius, came up with an ingenious the-ory: Tiny pieces of metal can be sent to cancer cells and then hit by a radiowave at a low, controlled frequency. The radio-wave will heat the metal, destroying only the cancer while leaving surrounding tis-sue unharmed. Kanzius and Dr. Steven A. Curley, now the lead researcher of the Kanzius Non-invasive Radiowave Cancer Treatment, worked on controlling radiowaves with a special device that they learned could heat metal and kill cancer—in petri dishes.

How It Works After multiple studies that helped dif-ferentiate the unique proteins of a cancer cell from those of neighboring healthy ones, researchers could fi nd and destroy the cancer without side effects.

The Next Steps Now, the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation is trying to continue the re-search to see if this treatment can work in people. Generous donations meant it was able to begin clinical testing using three new, large radiowave devices (GenV), capable of performing human treatments. After further experiments, data collection and analysis, it’s hoped the FDA will give the Foundation the go-ahead for human tri-als—taking it a long way up that mountain to save lives.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Recipes and nutrition articles everywhere are promoting kale, a vegeta-ble I never even heard of until recently. Is it really that great? A: Kale is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, along with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, caulifl ower and more. It has become more popular as people try it in restaurants and hear about its nutritional qualities from the media. Just like other healthful vegetables, it’s simply a great way to add variety to a healthy eat-ing pattern. Like spinach, Swiss chard, collard greens and broccoli, kale’s dark green color signals that it’s very high in beta-carotene (which forms vitamin A and seems to offer cancer protective benefi ts of its own) and lutein and zeax-anthin (two other carotenoids, linked with eye health). It’s loaded with vitamin C and the calcium it contains is well absorbed. Compared to other dark green vegetables, kale does not contain as much folate, magnesium and iron. But like other cruciferous vegetables, kale contains compounds that break down into iso-thiocyanates, phytochemicals that show cancer-fi ghting properties in lab studies. What’s more, isothiocyanates seem to turn on tumor suppressor genes. These genes slow cell growth so that cell damage can be repaired, and they also stimu-late self-destruction of damaged cells.

Fuss-Free Dessert Ideas (StatePoint) When preparing impor-tant meals, you may lose steam by the time you get to the sweet stuff. But creating desserts that stand out doesn’t have to be a daunting prospect. There are simple things you can do to give treats fl air, without spending hours slaving away. Whipped topping makes a perfect fuss-free topping on special occasion pies, cakes and cookies, as well as your everyday favorites like fruit, coffee and ice cream. Your family and guests will taste the difference, so be sure to use natural ingredients. For example, Reddi-wip is made from real dairy cream, unlike

other leading brands which have hydro-genated oils as their top ingredient. To deliciously top off your meal, try this recipe for Apple Crumble Pie, where warm apple pie fi lling is topped with a brown sugar and oat crumble and served in a fl aky pie crust. Want to save even more time? Consider pick-ing up a frozen dessert pie, such as one from Marie Callender’s and top it off with Reddi-wip for a quicker, but still super tasty, dessert option. Ingredients: • 1 frozen pie crust (9-inch), thawed • 1 can (21 oz each) apple pie fi lling • 1/2 cup all-purpose fl our • 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats • 1/2 cup fi rmly packed brown sugar

Providing a history of the small, icy world from its discovery and naming to its recent reclassifi cation, this book pre-sents a fascinating look at how scientists organize and classify our solar system as they gain new insights into how it works and what types of things exist within it.

To serve, divide spinach between fourplates, placing a mound on each. Topspinach with cutlet and spoon shallot andpear sauce over top.

Check the Neck for RipenessPears are best enjoyed at the peakof ripeness. The best way to judgewhether a fresh pear is ripe, sweetand juicy is to “check the neck”:

� Press the neck, or stem end, ofthe pear with your thumb, and if it yields to gentle pressure itis ripe and ready to eat.

� To ripen your pears at home,keep them at room temperature.Display these beautiful fruits ina decorative bowl as you waitfor them to ripen.

� To slow ripening, simply put thepears in the refrigerator.

Bradford Journal PhotoTony Pascarella and Sandy Hale, regu-lars at the VFW, enjoy the evening out at the Bradford Vets Club for a Super Bowl evening, February 2nd. They tell us they are enjoying the game and that there have been no surprises. Tony tells us there was too much hype on Peyton Manning, and that the score at the moment showed it (29-0, Seahawks).

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGEThe Road Ahead: Planning For Retirement

Pointers and Programs To Help Make The Most of the Golden Years (NAPSI)—If you or someone you love is among the 13 percent of Americans over 65—or soon will be—there are a number of things that may pay to know when it comes to retirement planning.

What You Should Know According to the U.S. Census Bureau, persons reaching age 65 have an aver-age life expectancy of an additional 18.6 years, meaning retirement could last for decades. To make the most of your retire-ment years, careful and strategic planning is critical. There will be many decisions to make, including whether you need to make lifestyle changes, whether you want to continue working, what goals and pri-orities you have, sources of income and benefi ts, and how you want to spend your time. Often times, it can be helpful to con-sult with a fi nancial services professional to make these decisions—and maybe, the place that you work.

6 Decisions to Consider Financial professionals say it’s im-portant for your fi nancial plan to include products that provide lifetime income. Six key planning elements to think about be-fore retiring include: 1. Decide how you want to structure your retirement savings. If you are mar-ried you may wish to consolidate accounts, while others will choose to keep accounts separate. 2. Communicate openly with your sig-nifi cant other and talk through your fi nan-cial differences. Set goals and spending budgets so you are in agreement about how to spend during retirement. 3. Learn about your pension and what rules apply to your pension and retirement savings.

4. Establish a Social Security game plan. Work through the numbers and de-cide if it’s more benefi cial to draw those benefi ts through your spouse’s working years or your own. 5. Consider age when purchasing fi nan-cial protection products. Is one spouse sig-nifi cantly older? 6. Seek legal counsel about all your es-tate planning options. Wills, living wills, trusts and powers of attorney are all legal means of ensuring your wishes are carried out. It is also important to update all these documents any time there is a change in your marital status or family structure.

Helpful Resources An easy, but often overlooked resource in retirement planning is your current em-ployer and the resources it offers. Through the workplace, many Americans can take

advantage of a program that provides an opportunity for personalized guidance. For example, one St. Louis woman never knew she’d be an entrepreneur in retirement until she participated in an employer-offered program, and met Todd Gentry, CFP, ChFc, CAP, a Financial Ser-vices Representative and Special Needs Planner. Through the retirewiseSM pro-gram, a MetLife-driven comprehensive educational program offered to individu-als in the workplace, Gentry was able to assist this woman facing early retirement reach unexpected success. “Through the retirewise program, we help participants identify and achieve their retirement goals,” Gentry noted. “We cov-er topics from savings and investments, employer benefi ts and creating an income plan for retirement years.” Tim Essman, a Financial Services Rep-resentative with Wealth Strategies Group in San Diego, helped another woman who had worked for 35 years achieve her dream of visiting her Italian relatives, which in-cluded the purchase of a condo in Italy. “Programs like retirewise encourage individuals to think about their retirement and provide tools and resources to help them reach success,” says Jeff Tulloch, vice president at MetLife. “At the conclu-sion of our program, for example, partici-pants and their spouses have the oppor-tunity for a complimentary face-to-face consultation with a specially trained rep-resentative to take the training to the next level and move toward execution. It can be extremely helpful to ask your employer or HR representative if they offer such a program.” Overall, it’s a good idea to fi rst envision what you want your retirement to look like and then work with an advisor to see that vision come to life. He or she can help you articulate the retirement you want and help you fi nance and plan based on current and future fi nancial planning trends.
