“Yoga, Yogurt and Meditation ”

- by Bob Perry

Here are three things that you may want to consider as a treat for yourself in a healthful benefi cial way. Yoga is a Hindu practice of physical, mental and spiritual discipline that proves to be a superior aid in refi ning one’s life goals and improving one’s health. There are numerous yoga programs available in the form of classes and videos, and with-out doubt, if you are not participating now, check it out. Discipline is an essential component in maintaining good health, and without it spiritual evolvement will not be achieved. When you search for a yoga routine look for one that includes ex-ercises for the face, eyes and the neck as they are ‘out of the box’ exercises that are often overlooked as needing exercise. By eating some yogurt daily your health is aided by the digestive system having an adequate supply of good bacteria for a normal digestive process. Combine fresh yogurt with some fruit, like a banana, and anyone will fi nd eating it an easy habit to obtain. Add to these two suggestions a meditation routine. There are so many that surely anyone can fi nd one that is comfort-able and easy to do. Anyone who needs stress relief can reduce their blood pres-sure and face any situation with calmness and insightful reactions. Search the internet on these subjects. If you add any of these to your daily routine your life will be enhanced. If you have any serious health issues, like a physical or digestive problem, consult your physi-cian before starting any of the above men-tioned regimens.

PA Migration Count 2012 *What is the Pennsylvania Migra-tion Count? The Pennsylvania Migration Count (PAMC) was established to gather annual data on migratory bird popula-tions, and to help answer some fundamen-tal questions regarding their distribution throughout Pennsylvania. PAMC is an annual one-day snapshot of bird popula-tions within our state attempting to answer which species are present, where are they and how many there are? Detecting the changes in population will help give us an early warning of possible declines and it is hoped that steps can be taken toward as-sisting their future survival. *How does it work? The Pennsylvania Migration Count takes place each spring on the second Saturday in May, in con-junction with International Migratory Bird Day. PAMC is similar to the Christmas Bird Count (CBC). The difference is that PAMC takes place on a countywide basis, rather than within the confi nes of a CBC circle. The rules are simple: spend some time in the fi eld counting all birds encoun-tered in a specifi ed area, and keep track of miles traveled and time spent counting. Participants are free to roam their favorite county birding locales at any time during the 24 hour period, starting at 12:01am, counting every bird that they fi nd. Totals are passed along to county compilers, who, in turn, report to the state compiler. The state compiler maintains the PAMC data, and an annual report is published in Penn-sylvania Birds, the journal of the Pennsyl-vania Society for Ornithology (PSO). *When did it start? The Pennsylvania Migration Count originated as part of the continent-wide North American Migration Count (NAMC) in 1992, when there were 141 observers in 10 Pennsylvania coun-ties. The count grew steadily in popular-ity in PA over the years, and was renamed PAMC in 2003, refl ective of the fact that the national count was struggling every-where but in Pennsylvania. Last year 903 observers from 53 counties participated in the PAMC. They counted 199,120 birds of 238 different species in over 2932 fi eld

hours. This year there are already more counties committed while we are always looking for more people to help. This year has us up to 59 counties committed out of the 67 in the state. *How can you help? Birders of all skill levels can help out with the count. Beginning at midnight with the songs of the Whip-poor-wills and the hooting of the Great Horned Owls, the PAMC is a great way to spend time outside. Whether you tally birds in your backyard, at your feeders, the local little league ballfi eld, along the river, on a lake, at your camp or spend time hiking through a state park, your observations count. Forms and infor-mation for PAMC participation are avail-able from your county compiler, or go online at http://www.pabirds.org/PAMC/Index.html . Data can be submitted via e-mail or post. If participating or for more information, please contact the county compiler fi rst, to avoid duplicate submis-sions from the same area. If no compiler, contact [email protected] for sub-mission or assistance. In the area, con-tact John Fedak for McKean County at [email protected] . Laura Carlson, [email protected] , will be com-piling for Elk County and Mark Johnson, [email protected] , will be compiling for Cameron County.You are always welcome to enter your own infor-mation on www.ebird.org, a free & public site, for submissions by the general pub-lic. This contributes valuable information that is used to track trends of birding pop-ulation and distribution. This site allows you to keep track of your own sightings where ever you go and see what else is be-ing seen in your area.

COMMENTS AND OPINIONS 5 ¢ENTS WORTH

by Grant Nichols

Having Good Time At The New Keystone

Bradford Journal PhotoAt the New Keystone, May 5th (l-r) Scott Sheridan, Bill Sheridan, and Megan Kirsch pose for a picture. These young people were obviously having a great time. Scott and Bill were once carriers for the Bradford Journal. Ahhh! Those were the good old days.

Pre-Wedding Party For Amanda Gutherie

Bradford Journal PhotoAmanda Gutherie will be married at the end of the week and this young group of people was helping her celebrate during a pre-wedding party at Tortugas on Cinco de Mayo. Included in the photo (generally for the left to right) are Sara Burgess, Chelsea Smith, Jessica Lonzi, Leslie Mongillo, Melissa Smith, Amanda Gutherie (with glasses, surrounded by her friends), Kim Lindquist, Kathi Davis, Melissa Anderson, Jennie Mongillo, Kara Cleveland, Steph Young and Val Couch. What a great night!

This weekend brought with it a good deal of activity to the Bradford area- the East Bradford Stinkfest, the Cin-co de Mayo Tortugas closing party, and the Derby Gala at the Pennhills club for the benefi t of the Bradford Area Public Library to name a few of the events. And while there were even more activities taking place in the area, we chose to make the annual Stinkfest event and the Tortugas party the focus for this week’s photos for the Bradford Journal. (Photos taken but not found on the pages of this issue, can be found in the photo gallery associated with the issue)……..Be sure to take a look at our mother’s day page in this edition. The vendors who sponsored it are cer-tainly positioned to help us fi nd tokens of best wishes to please ourselves or please our mothers on this special holi-day……Joyce, the manager of the Roadhouse in Lewis Run tells us that one of the bands scheduled for a May appearance at her establishment, the “Saloonatics” has changed its name. The new name is “Legacy”. They will be performing at the Roadhouse on Sat-urday, May 19th from 9pm to 1am. Be sure to mark your calendars…….Those who wish to become members of the Bradford Area High School Alumni Association should pay their mem-bership dues of $7.00 now. All checks should be made payable to the BAHS Alumni Assoc. and sent to 967 High Street, Bradford, PA 16701-3814 (the home of Norma Crooks). Remember also to send a note indicating whether you plan to attend the October banquet tentatively scheduled to be held on Oc-tober 6th at the Bradford Club…….. We would also like to remind our readers who are in some way inter-ested in learning how to knit or in knitted products themselves that they need not look any further than Keeping Ewe In Stitches located at 10 Chestnut Street at the same location as the Time-less Treasures store……….The price per barrel of oil throughout the last 60 years has in many ways deter-mined the destinies of nations large and small throughout the world. Leaders of nations have been assas-sinated, countries have been invaded, and economic instabilities have been created by fl uctuations in its price. It is our opinion, therefore, that this is not a commodity whose price should be de-termined by the whims of the gamblers in the commodities market.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES

For many people, having roommates is a natural transition between leaving their parent’s house and buying their own home. It can be a great way to trim expenses and save for the future. But if you’re not care-ful, cohabitating can also devolve into constant bickering over fi nances and dirty dishes. Roommate tensions are not limited to strangers. When cash-strapped young adults return to the nest, or older parents move in with grown kids for fi nancial or caregiver assistance, long-suppressed family grievances can erupt if you’re not careful. The key to living amicably with others is open communication. All parties must feel free to ask candid questions about their roommate’s fi nancial situation and living preferences. Schedule regular meetings to discuss household issues and air any com-plaints or perceived inequities before they magnify and sour the relationship. Try to agree on living arrangement de-tails before moving in together. If you’re moving into an established household, make sure you understand and agree with how fi nancial obligations and tasks will be divided. A few considerations: • Whoever signs the lease is respon-sible for paying rent and meeting other le-

gal obligations, so you may want to have all roommates sign the lease if possible. • You may need the landlord’s per-mission for a new roommate to move in. The landlord may want to run a credit check and may even ask that a new lease be signed. • If one bedroom is more spacious or has a private bath, a 50/50 split may not seem fair. The same goes if assigned park-ing or other amenities aren’t equitable. Calculate rent amounts together so no one feels slighted later on. • Find out which utilities are paid by the landlord and which you’ll split. Con-sider usage levels: Say one roommate works from home and runs the heat all day, or another never watches TV or uses the Internet. • Some people are territorial about their food, especially when budgets are tight. Decide whether you’ll go in together on groceries, cleaning supplies and other household items or each buy your own, and set rules for replacing used items. • Many landlords (and utilities) will only accept a single check, so it’s up to everyone to settle up and pay each month-ly bill on time. Spread the risk by putting each utility in a different person’s name. • Each roommate should carry their own renters insurance; otherwise your possessions and liability aren’t covered in

How to Avoid Being a Bad Roommate-by Jason Alderman

case of theft or accident. • If your place needs common area furniture or appliances, it may be simpler to buy pieces individually – and keep the receipts – so when you move there’s no question of ownership. • Inevitably, your possessions will get mixed in together. To make it easier when your household eventually disbands, make an inventory of who owns what. You may want to draft a roommate agreement that establishes household rules and duties. In addition to the billing and cost-sharing information outlined above, also include details such as: • Rules for recovering your share of the security deposit. • Rules governing pets, houseguests, parties, noise, smoking, alcohol and other potential disagreements. • Housecleaning schedule and re-sponsibilities. • Agreement about how to handle damages caused by roommates or their guests. • Move-out procedures, including how much notice is required and who is responsible for fi nding the new tenant.

� Choose fresh, ripe, firm fruits. Underripe apples, forexample, will make hard sour slices, while overripeapples will be mushy and bland.

� To ensure even cooking, sort fruits for size and ripeness. If slic ing fruits, slice evenly.

� Rinse and clean fruit thoroughly — dirt can harborbacteria.

� To take the skin off peaches, dip them in boiling waterfor 30 to 60 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoonand immediately dip into cold water. Slip off the skins.

� To keep apple slices from browning, put them into watercontain ing ascorbic acid until you’re ready to use them.

Spending 30 to 60 minutes a day walking can have a major effect in reducing risk of health problems, with cancer, diabetes and heart disease only the most obvious. The vital message here: don’t let advice to check with your doctor before becoming more active steer you away from that goal. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Doing activity that requires moderate effort is safe for most people. But if you have a chronic health condition such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, or other symptoms be sure to talk with your doctor about the types and amounts of physical activity that are right for you.” If you are 70 or older, a call or visit with your doctor fi rst is always a good bet. Check this list widely used by fi tness professionals called the PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire). Q: Foods that fi ght infl ammation are supposed to be so healthy. But what exactly is infl ammation? A: The redness you see when you hit your thumb with a hammer or get a splinter is a sign of infl ammation, the body’s normal response to injury or infection. Increased blood fl ow to the area brings white blood cells and proteins to attack or damage intruding bacteria. The infl ammation that signals a health issue is chronic, low-grade infl ammation, which seems to damage body tissues in ways that promote development of chronic disease. For example, infl ammatory cells have been found in the fatty plaque that builds up in blood vessels and leads to heart disease. And infl ammation seems to cause cell changes that result in our body’s inability to respond to insulin appropriately, increasing risk of type 2 diabetes. Infl ammation may also promote cancer develop-ment by damaging our genes, increasing cell turnover and increasing development of blood vessels that allow cancer cells to grow and spread. The good news is that many of the same basic lifestyle choices that we already know promote overall health seem to decrease development of chronic infl ammation. Excess body fat releases proteins that travel throughout the body promoting infl ammation, so reaching and maintaining a healthy weight shows major effects on reducing infl ammation. Avoid tobacco; be physi-cally active in some way every day; and eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. Including fi sh (especially fatty fi sh like salmon) and walnuts for omega-3 fat is helpful. In the past, there was some thought that polyunsaturated rich vegetable oils (corn, saffl ower, soybean, and sunfl ower) worked against the infl ammation-fi ghting effects of omega-3 fats, but that has been disproven; monounsaturated rich vegetable oils such as olive oil and canola oil are both excellent choices.

Natural Remedies For An Active Lifestyle

(NAPSI)—Being active is critical for staying healthy—so it’s a good thing ex-ercise-related aches and pains, sore mus-cles, and foot and leg cramps don’t have to put a damper on the activities that people love. Thankfully, there are many safe and natural remedies to keep pain at bay. Soft-tissue pain often benefi ts from rest, ice, compression and elevation. While rest gives your body time to heal, ice is handy for reducing swelling and dulling pain in sore spots. Be sure to wrap ice in a towel to prevent skin damage and aim to ice the injured area for about 20 minutes an hour or as needed, for one to two days. Gentle compression may help to keep swelling in check, while elevation can also reduce it. Injured ligaments and tendons respond well to increased blood fl ow, so moving and working with a physical therapist may help you return to pain-free workouts fast-er. Applying gentle heat can improve cir-culation to make achy muscles feel better, and a warm shower or massage can soothe sore muscles. Remember, if you are ever in doubt about your injury, check with your doctor. Still competing professionally after 45 years, 70-year-old NASCAR driver Mor-gan Shepherd keeps in shape by being ac-tive every day and looking after his health naturally. For Shepherd, the keys to stay-ing healthy are choosing a fun activity, eating well and staying hydrated. “Some people like running but I prefer to get my running done on roller skates,” says Shepherd. “I get a really good work-out, plus I hydrate with plenty of water, before, during and after a skate.” When you need more than rest, ice or heat but don’t like the side effects of stronger pain medicines, all-natural ho-meopathic products offer safe, effective solutions for aches and pains.

While probably not politically correct, the fact is the Three A’s — age, appear-ance, and attitude — have a major impact on the plight of the older, unemployed worker. If people think that these charac-teristics don’t really matter when evalu-ating an applicant’s chances of success in fi nding a job offer, they are mistaken. Studies have shown that, for better or worse, personal appearance and the ability to communicate clearly and convincingly are probably the two factors that predict best as to whether a person will ultimately land a job. First let’s talk about age. There are a number of reasons companies discrimi-nate against older workers – some of them based on fi nancial reasons and oth-ers grounded in deeply held biases lacking empirical support. On the fi nancial side, employers are often worried about pay-ing older, and likely more experienced, individuals higher wages. Obviously, the longer people have been in the workforce with greater education and job knowl-edge, the higher they expect to be paid for their talent and expertise. Hiring a young-er person lowers a company’s labor costs. There is also the widely-held notion that older workers are more likely to get sick, costing a company money in the face of fast-rising, healthcare expenditures. On the other hand, there is the misconception, unsupported by hard data, that older em-ployees take more sick time. The opposite has been proven to the case as more ma-ture employees are less likely to call-off sick and abuse personal time to take a long weekend or recover from a late night of partying. Besides economic considerations there are prejudices about older employees and their ability to contribute in a changing world. Many companies feel that with increased reliance on technical skills, es-pecially the use of computers and social networking tools, older workers are from another era and age – more specifi cally, the Stone Age. While those who entered the workforce before computers were so prev-alent might be behind the learning curve, computer skills and being savvy about so-cial networking tools can be learned, often quickly and inexpensively at a local com-munity college. Among the issues biasing employers against older applicants are the concerns surrounding personal appearance – anoth-er unmentionable, taboo topic in today’s politically correct climate. Whether we approve or not, studies have shown there is a bias in favor of thinner and more ath-letically fi t applicants versus those that are overweight. In sum, attractiveness, in gen-eral, plays a signifi cant part on the selec-tion process. Despite all of the statements that appearance is on the outside and it’s what’s on the inside that counts, the fact remains that personal appearance has a great deal to do with whether a person is hired, or even called back for a second round of interviews.

Does appearance matter? Well, it de-pends. For jobs where there is a high degree of contact with the public or a company’s customer base, it can be more of a factor than some would like to admit, especially when fi rst impressions count in furthering a company’s cause, like getting a foot in the door for a sales rep. For example, my cardiologist looks like an Olympic high hurdler leaping over desks and examining tables as he sprints into the waiting area to greet the tall, leggy blond offering the latest samples of the her company’s cho-lesterol-reducing medicine. However, for jobs that would be classifi ed as individual contributor roles, physical appearance is not terribly relevant. Unfortunately, job interviews involve making favorable fi rst impressions, and hence no matter how isolated the position being advertised, the ability of the applicant to impress an in-terviewer is an important factor in getting hired. Finally, there is the matter of attitude. Angry, resentful, and bitter job applicants do little to help their cause. All too often the interviewer or HR representative at the company gets the full brunt of the ap-plicant’s anger and annoyance with their raw deal from a previous employer along with the natural frustration of a person’s prolonged job search. While at the end of the meeting the candidate might feel re-lieved and momentarily purged, the poor company representative is bewildered, not knowing what to think. In other instances a person’s attitude is primarily a refl ection of their sense of defeatism over the whole job search pro-cess. There is no question that it is a grind. A hang-dog attitude that fails to inspire a sense of energy and optimism in the em-ployment interviewer will likely lead to a self-fulfi lling prophesy and another rejec-tion letter or rebuff by email or voice mes-sage. It should come as no surprise that one of the leading causes of burnout with any activity results from trying so hard to succeed with little return for one’s efforts. Thus, it is important to fi nd ways to keep your spirits up and maintain a positive at-titude in the face of rejection. Counterproductive attitudes can also be apparent when an applicant makes it clear that the job being offered is far beneath the person’s experience level and expertise. On other occasions, bad attitudes emerge when older workers fi nd themselves be-ing interviewed by people the same age as their children, and their resentment is palpable. Remember, it is not the fault of the interviewer or the entry-level HR rep that he or she is young. It obviously be-comes a red fl ag to a potential employer if the job candidate cannot seem to get along with younger coworkers. Finally, it is eas-ier said than done in terms of maintaining your cool when the applicant draws inter-viewers or HR reps who are arrogant, dis-respectful, or harboring obvious signs of ageism in their attitudes. Of course age, appearance, and atti-

tude are not all unrelated to each other. The older worker may or may not have made an effort to stay fi t. Moreover, those same effects of aging and appearance also hurt one’s self-esteem and adversely im-pact a person’s attitude. Furthermore, ex-tra weight or graying (or no) hair make a person look and feel older. Finally, feel-ing defeated and depressed can add years to your personal appearance and also lead to unhealthy behaviors like overeating. In other instances, there are even unhealthier behaviors, like alcohol abuse which dete-riorate appearance and take its toll. While no sure-fi re ways exist to elimi-nate all of the effects of aging, appearance, and attitude, there are proven techniques that can mitigate their impact. The key, of course, is to maintain a level of self-disci-pline to feel better about your appearance and have a healthier and more productive attitude, which, in turn, will allow you to be viewed as a more viable job candidate. In the end, the onus is on you to show that you can contribute to an organization’s survival and growth in a period of diffi cult economic times. Stephen A.

Stop The High And Low Blood Sugar Roller Coaster (NAPSI)— “You could live a normal life.” Those were the words that 15-year-old Steve Edelman kept hearing from the nurses when he was hospitalized follow-ing his type 1 diabetes diagnosis in 1970. He wondered why they kept repeating this to him. “I started to get worried,” recalls Dr. Edelman, an endocrinologist and clinical professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. “But it soon became clear that I’d have to learn to control my diabetes if I wanted to live a healthy, full life.” As a patient and a physician who treats people with diabetes, Dr. Edelman under-stands the challenges faced by the nearly 26 million Americans with the disease. He founded Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD), a nonprofi t organization that holds conferences featuring programs and resources to help educate and empower people with diabetes. Dr. Edelman notes that it is especially important for patients to overcome the fear factor. “Some of the biggest barriers I’ve observed that prevent people from controlling their diabetes are emotional ones,” says Dr. Edelman. Fear, miscon-ceptions and depression can be powerful derailers of proper care. While people are afraid of complications, many also fear what they’ll fi nd when they really exam-ine their diabetes. Dr. Edelman says that it’s not uncommon for people to equate blood sugar levels with their own self-worth. These attitudes can sometimes lead patients to “forget” to get their lab tests or to bring their log books or meters to their doctor for review. Dr. Edelman also emphasizes that regu-lar blood glucose testing is a critical part of good diabetes management. Testing provides key insights that allow patients and their health care providers to adjust treatment as necessary and to see how food choices, activity and many other fac-tors affect blood sugar levels throughout the day. When treating highs and lows, it’s im-portant to be proactive in looking for root causes in order to take steps to prevent them in the future. “Otherwise, if people just treat them in the moment and move on, they can get on a roller coaster of re-acting to patterns of highs and lows over and over again without even realizing they may be connected,” he says. Fortunately, advances in blood glucose monitoring technology are making this easier. The OneTouch VerioIQ Meter with PatternAlert Technology is the fi rst meter to fi nd patterns of high and low blood sug-ar and provide alerts right on the screen. With every test, the meter compares the current result with previous results and alerts the patient when it fi nds a pattern. This enables the patient and their health

care professional to more easily recognize the issue and take action to correct poten-tial problems. “This is particularly important for peo-ple taking insulin because they have the greatest risk of experiencing low blood sugar which can be dangerous,” explains Dr. Edelman. “So identifying and correct-ing a developing pattern of low blood sug-ars as early as possible is key.” Dr. Edelman offers other suggestions for successful diabetes management. He ad-vises patients to talk to their doctor about diet and exercise. He also recommends

taking notes between visits about any con-cerns patients may have, and he encour-ages talking about other factors, such as stress, that could affect blood sugar levels. “Managing diabetes is a marathon, not a sprint,” says Dr. Edelman. “Get educated, take advantage of the latest tools, and nev-er give up hope because it’s never too late to take control of your diabetes.” For more information about the One-Touch VerioIQ System and diabetes, visit www.OneTouch.com.

Lighten The Load In The Laundry Room (NAPSI)—The average American fam-ily washes eight to 10 loads of laundry each week, states the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Most people would agree that laundry seems to be a never-ending chore. However, with an or-ganized and well-designed laundry room, it’s almost effortless to launder even the largest loads. You may spend less time cleaning up life’s little messes with these helpful tips:• Make separating light, dark and hand-wash clothing a simple task by sorting the items into specifi c hampers.

Help For Those Hurt By Foreclosure Errors (NAPSI)—If you received any notices about foreclosure of your primary resi-dence in 2009 or 2010 and suffered fi nan-cial harm because of errors in that foreclo-sure process, even if you did not lose your home, you may qualify for a free, inde-pendent review. The deadline for requesting that re-view is July 31, 2012. Conducted at the direction of the Of-fi ce of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Fed-eral Reserve, the Independent Foreclosure Review will determine whether you suf-fered fi nancial injury and should receive compensation or other remedy because of errors or other problems during the fore-closure process. To be eligible, the mortgage must have been active in the foreclosure process be-tween January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2010. The property securing the loan must have been your primary residence, and the mortgage must have been serviced by a mortgage servicer covered by the OCC and Federal Reserve enforcement actions issued in April 2011. For a list of those companies, visit www.independentfore-closurereview.com. To know if your mort-gage was active in the foreclosure process during the eligible period, check to see if you received foreclosure-related notices during that period. Request for Review You can submit a request at the same site or complete and return a request form by mail. More than 4.3 million forms and letters explaining the process were sent to eligible homeowners. If you have questions about completing the form or need to request one, you can call (888) 952-9105 between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. (Eastern), Monday through Fri-day, and between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Satur-day.

“I want people to know this process is free to eligible borrowers who ask for a fi le review, and that they give up abso-lutely none of their rights in asking for the independent review of their case,” said Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry. “All eligible borrowers who submit requests can be assured that their fi le will be reviewed professionally and evaluated fairly to determine whether errors resulted in fi nancial injury.” Not all reviews will fi nd errors, and not all errors result in fi nancial injury. Where the review fi nds fi nancial injury, the remediation offered is intended to ad-dress direct fi nancial harm and can range from a few hundred dollars to more than

$100,000. More than 136,000 people have requested a review. Assistance is available in over 200 lan-guages including Spanish, Chinese, Ko-rean, Vietnamese, Hmong and Russian. Watch out for Scams There is only one Independent Foreclo-sure Review and it is free. Beware of any-one who asks you to pay for any foreclo-sure review service or offers to complete the request form on your behalf.

An Affordable Way To Protect Your Future (NAPSI)—There’s good news if you are looking for a way to safeguard your family’s fi nancial future while main-taining your budget—term life insur-ance. Term life is temporary insurance de-signed to last for a specifi c period of time, and it can be one of the more eco-nomical ways to purchase the life in-surance your family needs. According to Mutual of Omaha Vice President Ernie Rongish, there are a number of advantages to term life in-surance. A Benefi t For a Fixed Period Term life insurance is especially suit-ed for people who want competitive premiums, are looking to supplement life insurance they get from work or to make sure longer-term fi nancial obliga-

tions, such as a mortgage, are taken care of should something happen to them. “With term life, you choose a fi xed benefi t amount for a specifi c period of time,” Rongish said. “Plus, whether you choose a 10-, 15-, 20- or 30-year term, you pay just for that length of time and the premiums are guaranteed not to in-crease throughout the full policy term. Death benefi ts of $100,000 and up are generally available and you can convert the coverage to permanent life insur-ance if your needs change.” Customer-Friendly Features Along with simple and quick underwrit-ing provided by many plans, popular fea-tures of term insurance include: • A variety of rider options, including an accidental death benefi t that pays benefi ts in addition to the term life insurance ben-

efi t in the event of accidental death; • A waiver of premium feature that waives your term life insurance premiums if you incur a disability; your premiums are waived for as long as you are disabled; • An accelerated death benefi t that pays a lump-sum benefi t immediately if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness; • A provision whereby you can convert your term life insurance plan to permanent insurance should your life insurance needs change. Many consumers who have worked hard to establish a comfortable home and lifestyle for their family see term life in-surance as a smart and affordable way to help protect their family’s future.

The Best Way To Protect Pets From Parasites (NAPSI)—While there are many rea-sons to be happy about mild weather, dog owners know that warmer days can put their dogs at an increased risk for fl ea and tick infestation. Flea and tick bites are not just annoying. These pesky bites can ex-pose dogs to a number of parasite-borne diseases. Itchy fl eabites can turn into open sores from constant scratching and lead to in-fections and serious skin problems. Tick bites can transmit Lyme disease, which in dogs can cause joint damage, kidney, heart and nervous system damage. People can get infected, too. The best way to solve a fl ea and tick problem is to prevent one. Being proac-tive is the best practice and a comprehen-sive system of pest prevention is the most effective. Some people may try to save money by not buying treatments for their pets but that can lead to spending more on veterinarian and doctor bills later. A comprehensive system involves treat-ing not just your dog, but also your home and, if necessary, your yard. Start by protecting your dog. Make it a year-round practice to use fl ea and tick topical drops or a collar. Just because parasites are more prevalent during the warmer months does not mean your dog is not at risk during the rest of the year. If you fi nd yourself with a fl ea prob-lem, act quickly, as this can turn into a full-blown infestation in no time. Here is a handy solution checklist: • Topical drops. Take care of your pet with a fl ea & tick treatment such as Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® fl ea & tick treatment for dogs. This treatment will provide immedi-ate relief by starting to kill fl eas within 15 minutes and will last a full 30 days. • Defl ea your home. Unlike ticks and mosquitoes, which only breed outdoors, fl eas can thrive indoors. Female fl eas start producing eggs 24 to 48 hours after tak-ing their fi rst blood meal and can lay up to 50 eggs per day. These eggs are laid on your dog and easily fall off onto bedding, carpets, furniture and everything else your dog comes in contact with. Where your dog rests and sleeps becomes a primary habitat for eggs and developing fl eas. Treat your home with products that kill adult fl eas plus fl ea eggs and fl ea larvae, breaking the fl ea life cycle. Should you fi nd a widespread infesta-tion, use a home fogger to alleviate the problem. • Don’t forget your yard. The fi nal step in a complete pest management system is taking care of your yard, a place where fl eas, ticks and mosquitoes can be preva-lent. Ticks fi nd their hosts by climbing on grass, shrubs and other outposts. To fully protect your dog, be sure to use products such as Hartz UltraGuard Yard Spray to

eliminate multiple types of pests outside your home. For over 85 years, Hartz Mountain has provided products to keep pets healthy. An

Doubling Down On The Fight Against Doubling Down On The Fight Against Older American HungerOlder American Hunger

(NAPSI)—Nearly 9 million Americans 50 and older are currently struggling with hunger or lacking suffi cient nutrition and food resources. And the problem is pre-dicted to increase 75 percent by 2025, ac-cording to AARP Foundation. Fortunately, an effort to eradicate this growing problem is under way and gaining traction. Since AARP and AARP Founda-tion launched Drive to End Hunger last year, the initiative has donated more than 6.6 million meals and driven corporate and individual donor commitments with an expected value of $18.1 million. Chase Card Services (Chase), a division of JP-Morgan Chase & Co., makes a donation to AARP Foundation for Drive to End Hun-ger each time an AARP Visa Card from Chase account is opened and the card is used. Last year, Chase contributed $1.6 million to this important cause, which is equivalent to an estimated 750,000 meals for older Americans in need. To attract even more attention and re-sources to this often-overlooked issue, Chase is doubling the donations made with the AARP Visa Card to AARP Foundation for Drive to End Hunger during the month of May, which is Older Americans Month. For more than a year, Chase has been do-nating $0.03 for each purchase made with the AARP Visa Card and $1 for each new account opened. However, in May, Chase is increasing this commitment by donat-ing $0.06 for each purchase made with

the card, $2 for each new account opened, in addition to a $100 cash back bonus for cardmembers after their fi rst use of the card. All told in 2012, Chase will donate up to $2 million to AARP Foundation. Doubling donations provides an easy way for cardmembers to make a differ-ence in the lives of millions of Americans who face hunger each day. This year, in addition to the donations made through AARP Visa Card purchases, Chase has teamed up with four-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jeff Gordon and Drive to End Hunger and will appear on the No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet for fi ve 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races throughout the country.

Tips On Making Healthy Vision Last A Lifetime (NAPSI)—Vision changes as people get older, but vision loss is not a normal part of aging. That’s the word from Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Eye Institute. He believes that early diagnosis, timely treatment, and appropriate follow-up care can help prevent irreversible vi-sion loss from common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Dr. Sieving says that it’s possible to make healthy vision last a lifetime. To help, he offers the following tips: • Know Your Family History. Some eye diseases are hereditary. Talk with your family members about their eye health history, then talk with your eye care pro-fessional to learn what you can do to pro-tect your vision. • Eat Right to Protect Your Sight. Eat-ing foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and C may help keep your eyes healthy. • Give It a Rest. Work at a computer all day long? Give your eyes a 20/20/20 break: Every 20 minutes, look about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds to re-duce eyestrain and fatigue. • Let the Sun Shine. When shopping for sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B radia-tion. Early stages of common eye diseases typically have no symptoms and can only be detected through a comprehensive di-lated eye exam. Pupil dilation allows a doctor to closely examine the back of the eye for signs of eye disease. The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health, leads the federal government’s research on the

visual system and eye diseases. NEI supports basic and clinical science programs that result in the development of sight-saving treatments. For example, said Dr. Sieving, recent clinical trials spon-sored by the NEI have provided doctors with crucial data regarding prevention and treatment of age-related macular degen-eration (AMD). The Age-Related Eye Disease Study de-termined that taking high levels of antioxi-

dants and zinc reduces the risk of develop-ing advanced AMD by about 25 percent. The NEI comparison of AMD treatment trials found that the two most commonly used AMD drugs—one that was designed for use in the eye and a much cheaper drug that was developed to treat cancer—are equally effective in treating AMD.

Foot, Knee Or Ankle Pain? Don’t Rule Out Gout (NAPSI)—Eight million Americans have gout. It’s the most common form of infl ammatory arthritis in men over the age of 40. However, its symptoms can be similar to those of a stubbed toe or ankle sprain, which is why so many people of-ten misinterpret the pain associated with a gout attack for something else. Jim Be-lushi is one of them. When the actor and performer’s big toe became too swollen and painful to touch, he credited it to a jogging injury. But after a visit to his doctor, he found out that he actually had gout. “When gout attacks for the fi rst time, many sufferers mistake the pain for an im-pact-induced injury or a sprain,” said Her-bert S. B. Baraf, M.D., clinical professor of medicine at The George Washington University. “It is important to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of gout and to seek proper treatment.” Now, knowing the importance of diag-

nosis and taking an active part in treat-ment management, Belushi is taking part in the “Check Out Your Gout” campaign to increase awareness surrounding gout and a more advanced form of the condi-tion known as refractory chronic gout, or RCG. Symptoms of gout manifest in painful fl ares that can include sudden infl amma-tion, redness and swelling in the joints. Gout fl ares are common in the big toe but can happen in any joint of the body. “When I fi rst developed gout, I didn’t want to do anything about it. I thought I could tough it out, but when the pain be-came too unbearable for me to perform on stage, I saw a rheumatologist and got my gout under control,” said Belushi. Gout is caused by a high level of uric acid in the blood. When this level be-comes too high for the body to process, uric acid builds up and can crystallize in and around joints, resulting in a gout at-

tack. In advanced cases, collections of uric acid crystals may deform joints and even cause visible lumps to form on hands, feet and joints. “It is important to seek the help of a rheumatologist to manage the under-lying cause of gout: a high level of uric acid. Over time, gout attacks may become more frequent and severe, leading to joint destruction, deformity and other health is-sues,” said Dr. Baraf.

Five Tips For Tasty Entertaining (NAPSI)—Sunny skies mean impromp-tu potlucks—and when your friends call, you don’t want to be left scrambling. These fi ve tips will keep you prepared when an invite comes your way: 1. Use what you have. Save time by keeping a few cupboard-friendly basics on hand: crackers, veggies or pita bread are great options that pair well with a cheese plate, dip or spread. 2. Try heatless recipes. Save yourself the sweat: Abandon the stove in favor of no-cook favorites like salads and crudités—they’re not just faster, but often healthier, too. 3. Spice up store-bought. Basic French bread turns into a swoon-worthy side when you mix up a fl avored spread, such as the recipes below for Cinnamon Sugar and Nutty Island spreads. 4. The fewer the ingredients, the bet-ter. Keep it simple; when paired thought-fully, simple ingredients—such as lemon and olive oil or cinnamon and sugar—can truly shine. 5. Taste is key. Love using butter in your recipes? The spreads below use the new Smart Balance® spreadable butter, which tastes like regular butter but has 40 per-cent less saturated fat because it is blended with pure canola oil—a great option for those looking for a better butter.

Prepare Your Vehicle To Help You Fight Allergy Season (NAPSI)—Allergy experts predict a longer allergy season is likely this year due to the mild winter that most parts of the U.S. experienced. So it’s more impor-tant than ever to jump-start efforts to re-duce allergy and asthma irritants around your home—and especially inside your vehicles. “The air inside your vehicle can be six times more polluted than the air outside,” explains Paul Kortman of NAPA Filters, the world’s largest distributor of light- and heavy-duty fi lters for the automotive af-termarket. “Without proper fi ltration with a clean, functioning cabin air fi lter, the air inside the passenger cabin can be full of allergens and other pollutants. That can mean a signifi cant health risk for kids and some 60 million people who suffer from asthma and allergies in the U.S.” Cabin air fi lters block airborne contami-nants like pollen, dust, car exhaust, aller-gens and the smelly buildup caused by mold, mildew, algae and fungi and more. Without a clean, functioning cabin air fi l-ter, microscopic contaminants are pushed into your car, much of it through vents. A dirty cabin air fi lter can degrade and po-tentially damage your vehicle’s heating and air-conditioning systems. Breathe Easier Behind The Wheel If you have a 2000 model year or newer vehicle, you probably have a cabin air fi l-ter. They are typically located under the dashboard or attached to the glove box, but some are found in the engine com-partment. While a recent survey showed that 95 percent of vehicle owners are con-cerned about in-car air quality, just 26 per-

cent said they knew there was a cabin air fi lter in their vehicle. Driving conditions will determine how often a cabin air fi lter needs replacing. Dirt roads, dust-or pollen-fi lled areas and stop-and-go heavy traffi c shorten a cabin air fi lter’s life. Most vehicle manufactur-ers suggest cabin air fi lters be replaced every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Service specialists can check the condi-tion of your cabin air fi lter and install a

new one in as little as 20 minutes. “Checking and changing a cabin air fi l-ter is a simple, cost-effective way to make a big difference in the quality of air you breathe in your vehicle,” Kortman adds. “We hope to help people and families with allergies become more aware of how it can help in fi ghting off a tough allergy season.” For more information, visit:www.NAPAFilters.com

America Needs Inflation (NAPSI)—High gas prices should make more Americans become pro-infl ation—at least when it comes to tire pressure. The Facts The U.S. Department of Energy says properly infl ated tires can improve fuel economy by 3.3 percent and save 1.2 bil-lion gallons of gasoline nationally. The National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration estimates that underinfl at-ed tires contribute to more than 600 fatali-ties and 33,000 injuries a year. Yet fewer than one in fi ve vehicles has four properly infl ated tires, according to a Rubber Man-ufacturers Association tire pressure study. Worse, at least 15 percent of vehicles were found to have at least one tire underinfl at-ed by at least eight pounds per square inch (PSI). What You Can Do Heeding a few hints, however, can not only help motorists stay safe, but help them save money. • Good driving habits help keep tires in optimum condition (avoid fast starts, stops, potholes and curbs).

Alignment: Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven and rapid tread wear. Rotation: Rotate tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help you achieve more uni-form wear. Tread: Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse conditions. Learn More: For more facts and tips, go to www.betiresmart.org

• Take fi ve minutes a month to check all your tires. Simple, regular maintenance can help drivers save as much as 12 cents per gallon at the pump and keep tires roll-ing longer so they don’t need to be re-placed as often. To be tire smart, you need to play your PART—Pressure, Alignment, Rotation and Tread. These are the key elements of proper tire care. Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly with a tire gauge and infl ate to vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
