Combined with healthy eating, it can help to reduce or maintain body weight and de-crease incidence of certain chronic diseas-es. Spring is a great time to get outside and be more active and eight weeks can help turn those healthy behaviors into healthy habits. Take the fi rst step and join in Eve-rybody Walk Across PA!

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

Guest Columnist

“Initiative - Part III - Campaign Finance” -by Bob Perry

The language of this initiative has a simple message: A candidate seeking offi ce may receive donations ONLY from individuals who can vote for said candidate. In a democratic republic the process of electing representatives re-stricts rightfully those who can vote for a candidate and the electorate deserves the environment in which there is NO outside infl uence during the process. Not only during the electoral process but the duration of holding offi ce. Previously, I wrote an article on “Out-side Infl uence”, in which I stated that campaign contributions by others who cannot vote for a candidate has a more pronounced infl uence on the offi ce seeker than the vote of an electorate and is a key to access to one who gains an elected offi ce and the decisions made by the elected. The Supreme Court has issued decisions that restricting contri-butions by wealthy individuals and cor-porations to a political candidate or po-litical committees is a violation of free speech. The actual challenge that needs to be made to the Court is for a decision as to the right to whom contributions can be made. Free speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment, but contributions, while certainly an expression, is more than free speech simply because it is a tangible asset. To back up any argu-ment that contributions are considered free speech then we can argue that a vote is also free speech. If contributions cannot be restricted than anyone should be able to vote for anyone anywhere at the voting booth outside of the voting district. This Initiative would eliminate any candidate from receiving contribu-tion from any special interest including a political party, corporations, unions, organizations, PACs, foreigners, lobby-ist, and also family that does not reside in the voting district. For example, should a Hollywood ac-tor be able to contribute fi nancially to a Senatorial candidate in an election they cannot vote for? Not and be able to have a enduring accountable repre-sentative government. There are all too many examples to list in this article but if you think a bit you can fi nd all sorts of situations that have occurred you do not agree with.. Free Speech gives all the aforemen-tioned the right to support any candi-date indirectly thus making their ‘Free Speech’ contribution. Yes, political par-

ties are special interest groups of the highest order! An elected needs to be owing to no-one other that the elector-ate who got them into offi ce. Parties are good at making offi ce holders un-derstand how they got into offi ce and holding them accountable whenever they do not support the party line. Par-ty ’whips’ are most effective when en-forcing the accountability. It is money, its power and infl uence that has com-promised our ability to have effective government. Money is a major player in getting candidates look at the tax code that continually has modifi cations ’bought and paid for’ by the benefac-tors of such change. Ayn Rand in her writings equated politics to capitalism and, as we have witnessed, it is the capitalism in politics that has brought us to the very brink of collapse of our republic. The very value of money is increasingly not understood. If I were to create what I perceive as fair campaign contribution rules I would have no limit to contributions by anyone who wants to, to be able to make to a candidate as long as they can vote for the candidate. Plain and sim-ple! I have written three articles of Ini-tiatives (Oath of Offi ce; Congressional Term Limits; Campaign Finance) en-couraging political action utilizing the existing avenues for making the chang-es I have suggested. There is a constitutional crisis for our democratic republic and ’we the people’ have the obligation to take ac-tion and make necessary changes to put power back into the people‘s hands. What are you willing to do? Some-thing I hope.

Photos and videos from the VetJam rock concert held January 31st, at the Bradford Vet’s Club Events Center, fi ll this issue and its associated photo gal-lery. A total of eight area bands and seven acoustic acts took place over the eight-hour event, many of whom we captured for this edition. A journey into our photo gallery to see the videos is well advised for those who want to see what’s happened to rock, played by the guys who grew up with it. Perhaps the most interesting thing we noticed during this concert was that the young people, though their music is quite different today, still seem to have a fasci-nation with the rock from the past……..A BAHS Alumni Association committee meeting was held January 28th at the Lighthouse Restaurant where it was an-nounced that Christina Distrola is now in charge of the photographs taken during all past organizational events. Emma Wright (membership chairperson) announced that Bill McCloskey was the fi rst paid-up member for 2015. And President Bill Moore announced that work necessary to give this year’s high school scholarships would begin in late March and April. The next meeting is scheduled at the same location at 1PM, February 25th and all members of the association are welcome to attend……During a news conference, February 10th, the FNB organization announced that this year’s First Night Bradford (Bradford’s New Year’s Eve cultural and arts festival) is alive and well. Committees have been set up, non-profi t re-instatement procedures are well underway, and the process of contracting venues and securing host loca-tions will begin this month. In addition it was announced that this year’s fundraiser for the event is scheduled to begin in May or June with hopes that through active participation by corporate sponsors and the community at large, a bigger and bet-ter event will be made possible……..The drums of war grew louder this week with announcements of more behead-ings and more burnings by various dis-tinctly named terrorist groups or groups not so distinctly named, that nevertheless left terror in their wake. It is unfortunate that the world has not changed much since the time of the Gauls in Western Europe, the Vikings in Northern Europe and the Mongol hordes who invaded Europe from the East. In short, “share and share alike” hasn’t been a popular notion throughout history. Neither has “live and let live”. Whether it’s called terrorism or just regu-lar murder, we think there’s still a lot of human slaughter taking place at home and around the world, and usually in the name of bringing good order, sensible living, and justice to all.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESCredit Cards Credit cards offer many advantages. There is the convenience of being able to buy needed items now and the security of not having to carry cash. You also re-ceive fraud protection and in some cases rewards for making purchases. With these advantages also come re-sponsibilities. You need to manage credit cards wisely by understanding all of the card’s terms and conditions; stay on top of payments; and realize the true cost of purchases made with credit. Using a credit card is like taking out a loan. If you don’t pay your card balance in full each month, you’ll pay interest on that loan. Choose Wisely The best way to maximize the benefi ts of credit cards is to understand your fi -nancial lifestyle - your money needs and wants. Once you determine how you’ll use a credit card, it’s important to under-stand all of the card’s features including: • Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) and whether rates are fi xed or variable • Annual, late and over-limit fees • Credit limit on account • Grace periods before interest begins accruing • Rewards including airline miles or cash back

Stay Alert Some credit card issuers offer free, per-

sonalized and automatic alert messages to your phone and email to help you keep track of: • Available credit • Balances • Payment due dates • Payment histories • Purchase activity Understand Your Rights Credit cardholders are entitled to pro-tections: Zero liability means you are not re-sponsible for fraudulent charges when you

report them promptly. In some cases, you have the right to dispute purchases with merchants for un-satisfactory products or services. Follow the 20-10 Rule This general “rule of thumb” helps you understand how much credit you can af-ford. Credit cards are loans, so avoid bor-rowing more than 20 percent of your an-nual net income on all of your loans (not including a mortgage). And payments on those loans shouldn’t exceed 10 percent of your monthly net income.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEThree Easy Changes You Can Make Today

To Meet Your Long-Term Diet

Goals

(StatePoint) The biggest hurdles to sticking to a new diet are convenience and fl avor. Who wants to eat food that doesn’t taste good or is hard to make? You and your family are more likely to stick to your commitments if the changes you make suit your schedule and your palate. Here are three easy changes you can make to your diet today:

Hydrate Yourself Water reigns supreme as the health drink of choice among nutritionists and dieticians. Most diet plans include the following crucial advice: Stay hydrat-ed, but avoid sugary beverages. In addition to all of the critical func-tions water performs in your body, stay-ing hydrated will help you feel fuller so you eat less over the course of the day. But water doesn’t have to be taste-less to bestow benefi ts. There are many virtually calorie-free ways to dress up water and add a hint of nutritional val-ue: Add slices of strawberry or cucum-ber, wedges of lemon, lime or orange, chunks of watermelon or several sprigs of fresh mint or basil. Refrigerate until you’re ready to drink. Or get hydrated with green tea, which is loaded with an-tioxidants.

Snack on Bold Flavors Whether you’re on the go or at home, snack time can be a dieter’s downfall. Rather than buying full-sized bags of high-fat snacks like chips, which are easy to binge on, opt for single-serving snacks that are wholesome and full of fl avor. For example, olives in ready-to-go cups are a fuss-free way to punch up the fl avor profi le of a meal or snack. Pearls Olives to Go! single-serving Black Pitted Olives in a cup can be just

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Is it true that vinegar helps control blood sugar? A: Research is intriguing but remains inconclusive on the link between vine-gar and lower blood sugar. Several controlled trials – in healthy people and those with diabetes – have found that when people consume about two teaspoons of vinegar with a high-carbohydrate meal, the rise in blood sugar and insulin follow-ing the meal are lower than after a similar meal without vinegar. However, fur-ther investigation is needed to confi rm this effect, since some studies have shown no benefi t. Human trials have been small and short-term, and theories about how this works are mostly based on animal studies. Vinegar’s effect on reducing the rise in blood sugar following a meal seems to be strongest when the meal is high in carbohydrates but low in fi ber. High-fi ber meals often lead to a slower rise in blood sugar anyway, and vinegar seems to have minimal additional effect on blood sugar after those meals – which are the sort of meals that overall tend to best promote good health. Keep in mind that a major infl uence on unhealthy el-evations in blood sugar and insulin resistance comes from overweight and lack of physical activity, so continue working on a healthy lifestyle. The evidence does not support using vinegar as a magic ticket to controlling blood sugar. Consider any blood sugar or insulin effect a potential side benefi t of enjoying a salad with a vinegar-based dressing with meals or enhancing the fl avor of cooked vegetables. Reducing large blood sugar surges is an important step in preventing organ dam-age from diabetes, and it may help reduce development of insulin resistance and its many negative effects on risk of heart disease and cancer.

They’re easy to open and stay fresh until you’re ready to eat them, which makes them perfect to stow in a gym bag or desk drawer. Pearls recently added three new fl avors to their Olives to Go! portion-controlled cup line, including Kalamata Pitted Greek Olives, Pimiento Stuffed Spanish Green Olives, and Sliced Cali-fornia Black Ripe Olives. Add to salads or sandwiches for bold fl avor without a lot of extra calories. Read more about incorporating olives into a healthy Mediterranean diet at www.Olives.com.

Make Friends with Fat A major mistake many dieters make is trying to cut all of the fat from their diet. Fat is a necessary component of any healthy diet. Monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and Omega-3 fatty acids should comprise the majority of the fat you eat. Great sources of healthy fat include olive oil, salmon, tuna, avo-cado, olives, seeds and nuts. Olives and avocados are fruit, so they also boost your fruit intake. Try tossing olives, canned tuna or avocados into a salad; sprinkle almonds or walnuts over oatmeal; swap com-mercially made salad dressings and marinades with good-quality olive oil and fl avorful herbs and spices. To make your commitment to healthy eating a long-lasting one, be sure the changes you make are sensible, sustainable and, above all, delicious.

Mushrooms Make For Fast And Easy Side Dishes (StatePoint) Whether you have only a few minutes to put together a meal or days to prepare, mushrooms are a great addition for marvelous fl avor and mini-mal fuss. The key is choosing the right mush-rooms and herbs to suit your cooking method and available time. Here are some simple tips from the experts at Whole Foods Market, to create memo-rable combinations in minutes: Only fi ve minutes and no stove? Pair such mushrooms as white buttons, cremini or truffl es with herbs like pars-ley, chives, tarragon or cilantro, to cre-ate a fresh salad or a relish to top on crostini, soup or baked potatoes. Fifteen minutes and a stovetop? Try mixing fresh herbs like oregano, marjo-ram or sage with chanterelles, morels or oyster mushrooms with olive oil. Warm over a stove and in minutes you will have delicious sautéed mushrooms. Thirty and a hot oven? Make roast-ed mushrooms by pairing portobellos, porcinis or shiitakes with rosemary and thyme, and your guests will sure to be impressed. More tips and recipes are available at wholefoodsmarket.com With a little planning, enjoy a deli-cious, stress-free meal.

For Older Adults, Regular Exercise May Stem Aging Effects (StatePoint) One out of every three adults over 65 years old falls each year, according to the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention. And for older adults with dementia, the risk of falling is three times higher than those with no cognitive impairment, according to the AARP Bul-letin. However, research supports the notion that many of the physiological changes re-lated to aging -- such as loss of balance -- can be prevented or postponed with regular exercise. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that many senior living communi-ties are making comprehensive health and wellness programs available to their resi-dents. “We’re seeing residents increase their

mobility, endurance and balance, and im-prove their range of motion and fi tness levels,” says Katie Westberg, national di-rector of Life Enrichment at The Good-man Group, a company that has developed a new fi tness program for its senior living and health care communities. Additionally, Westberg cites that par-ticipants feel better and are having fun, showing quick results to their overall well-being, “Many of the residents involved in our FIT Functional Fitness program start seeing long-lasting and signifi cant strength training benefi ts within an eight to 16 week period.” The experts behind the FIT Functional Fitness program, a new, national, person-alized functional fi tness program devel-oped by The Goodman Group in partner-ship with a physical therapist and board certifi ed geriatric specialist, are offering some tips for older adults looking to im-prove their well-being and restore their vigor. • Engage in exercises that can improve your core strength, balance and cardio-vascular health. If you live in a senior living community, inquire about on-site programs. Additionally, many community centers and health clubs conduct exercise classes designed specifi cally for senior health. • Invest in a stationary bike. It’s easy to incorporate this activity into your day

while watching TV, listening to music or talking to your family, and pedaling low-ers blood pressure, according to AARP. • Consult your physician before get-ting started. Your exercise routine should take into account your current health level and functionality as well as your physical needs. • Food and health are directly correlat-ed, so pair your exercise with healthy eat-ing. The FIT Functional Fitness program at The Goodman Group, for example, incorporates local, organic, seasonal pro-duce as well as lean protein alternatives and plant strong ingredients in their menu options. • Stick to it. Results may come quick-ly, but a long-term health benefi t requires commitment. For more information about senior fi t-ness and health programs, visit www.The-GoodmanGroup.com. While you can’t stop time, research shows that with exercise, you may feel better, longer.
