Wesleyan Church To Hold Camo Sunday

The First Wesleyan Church of Bradford, Pa. will be holding it’s second annual Camo Sunday Event on Sunday Novem-ber 30th at 11:00Am at their facility lo-cated at 692 South Kendall Ave. After last years’ nationwide media exposure, Pastor Chris Terbush wanted to take the Camo Sunday event to a new level. Authors, speakers, and television per-sonalities Chad and James Hampton will be the guest speakers for Camo Sunday 2014. The identical twin brothers, whom are also pastors, use their love of hunting and outdoor activities to share the Gospel. In 2005, the brothers started the outreach ministry “Huntin the Truth”. Huntin for Truth’s mission is to minister to physical challenged men, women, and youths with no father fi gure. Since its inception, their ministry has grown to include chapters in Michigan, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ken-tucky, and New York. The two brothers have also used their hunting experience and their Christian walk to author a na-tionally recognized book entitled “Secrets of the Hunt”. Chad and James Hampton are noted

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

Guest Columnist

“Conspiracy To Dupe” -by Bob Perry The appearance of numerous videos of Jonathan Gruber from MIT on how the ACA (Affordable Care Act) was created has fi nally revealed the conspiracy by ar-chitects, the Senate and President Obama to dupe the American public on a massive scale. Numerous lies were told to the public to create the perception that their best in-terests were being protected by creating a health care system that was fair and pro-vided coverage for all. Lies included “you can keep your doctor”, “you can keep your health care plan”, and “your costs will be reduced by $2,500 per year”, in addition to others, were intentional and deliberate and are inexcusable. Mr Gruber is an academic professor at MIT and was a contributing architect in creation of the health care system in Mas-sachusetts as well as the ACA. Gruber has taken great pride in being part of dup-ing the public which notably was with the willing support of the media. Duped also was the CBO (Congressional Budget Of-fi ce) as they were given guidelines as how to score the ACA which included disguis-ing the individual mandate as a penalty not as a tax. While the Supreme Court saw that it was indeed a tax, the Court was duped in other aspects. Academics, including Obama and many of his close confi dants, have exhibited the attitude that they know what is best for

you and continually manipulate the truth along with outright lies to create false per-ceptions. Gruber in his pronouncements portrayed the public as being too stupid to understand, and that the ‘lack of trans-parency’ was a huge advantage in getting the legislation passed. The public expects information provided about legislation to be the ‘truth,’ and it is a true sign of arro-gance by those who provide lies and false perceptions thus producing duping. This shows a limited intelligence on the part of anyone who practices deception. Audio in the videos exposes that there was a conspiracy between the architects, legislators and the President to dupe the public by not providing transparency in the sausage making process. Obama has long touted that his administration is the most transparent in history, but the lack thereof with the ACA proves that his words are but lies. This brings us to the question as to do elected offcials have any right to lie to their employers and the only answer is ‘NO!’. Currently I am working on recommend-ed actions you as an electorate may take in claiming your right to hold elected offi -cials accountable. Certainly there will be hearings on the deception and anyone that participated can look forward to censure in some form.

Following the Veteran’s Day ceremo-nies in Veteran’s Square, November 11th, for which we displayed photos and videos in our last issue and as-sociated gallery, we attended a Vet-eran’s Day dinner, at the American Legion Banquet Hall. The food was good, the company was great, and we took many photos that have been placed on the pages of this week’s edition of the Bradford Journal. In addition, we stopped at School Street Elementary School, on November 21st where we photographed math teams in Mr. Glea-son’s fi fth grade classroom. We also photographed a team of students work-ing on a history project at the school, on the same day. Apparently the team approach to learning, regardless of the subject matter, is being used to augment learning and socializing there. And stu-dents tell us they like it…….. Accord-ing to the signage around town, there will once again be a Holiday Gift and Vendor Show at the Foster Township Building on East Main Street, a two-day event to be held December 6th and 7th. Margie Harris, the event or-ganizer asks that our readers mark their calendars to save the dates. She also mentions that there will be forty craft-ers and vendors at the event, making it well worth our while to attend……..Psychological experimentation car-ried out in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s seemed to indicate that peo-ple’s perception of reality could often be altered by what other people said they saw, believed and/or reported to be true. Here is an example of one such experiment:. Experimenters set up a situation in which several people stood in a line and looked at the posi-tions of two dots projected on a wall. Each person was asked, one at a time to verbally say whether the dots were level with each other. The dots were ac-tually projected at obviously different levels, but all those in the test subject line, except for the subject at the end, were told to say that the dots were at the same level. The subject at the end of the line could hear what the others were reporting. Finally, when it came to this last subject’s turn to say what he saw, he reported that the dots were at the same level. While other interpreta-tions of the results can be offered, one thing is clear. The willingness or seem-ing need for people to be in agreement or at the least to give reported acquies-cence to what those around them see or believe, makes survey results presented by the media, a powerful tool for those who wish to tamper with an individu-al’s personal perceptions.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES7 Ways To Cut Your Holiday Expenses

-by Jason Alderman When it comes to holiday spending, waiting in store lines all night and jostling for discounts will mean very little if you don’t have a budget that shapes your fi -nances year-round. With the average U.S. household spending $600-$700 in 2014 for the holidays, putting that money to-gether shouldn’t be a game of chance. Here are some tips to get it right: 1. Before you make a list, plan. How’s your debt? Do you have an emergency fund or any savings put aside? Start the holiday season by getting a handle on what you owe and what you’re spending day-to-day. Then plan a holiday budget (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/YourHoliday-Budget) as early as possible that allows you to spend wisely. 2. See what spending is really neces-sary. It’s tough to cut young kids off a gift list, so turn to the adults. If your fi nances are limited, it’s worth asking adult friends and family members if they’d consider a gift swap or forego gifts altogether. They might actually think it’s a good idea. 3. Attack your everyday expenses. Want to afford the holidays? Consider evaluating some expensive habits. Try re-ducing the amount you are spending on expensive nights out. Cook at home and bring your lunch to work. Use public trans-portation. Compare and cut your auto and home insurance premiums. Turn down the thermostat, dump magazine subscriptions, gym memberships and any other budget item you’re not using. You’ll fi nd that sav-ings build quickly. 4. Browse before you buy. Assuming you’ve made a tight gift list, create a gift budget (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/YourGiftLog) tracking precisely what you’re willing to pay for every item. For must-have, non-negotiable gifts, you may have to pounce before Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday and Monday for both price and selection. Also, don’t forget to budget for holiday entertainment www.practicalmoneyskills.com/Entertainment-Planner). It’s a potentially huge cost. Plan ahead and don’t waver. 5. Create your own Holiday Club. Online savings and money market ac-counts can allow you to set aside your hol-iday budget in small amounts throughout the year and they’ll pay better rates than the last few banks offering Holiday Club savings accounts. 6. Watch gas and shipping. Smart shoppers weigh the value of store trips versus online shopping. They also keep an eagle eye for advertised online and ship-ping discounts. Sign up for special deals and coupons, consolidate in-person trips to stores and make sure you review return policies at online and bricks-and-mortar

stores before you buy. Paying return fees or missing a window to return a gift en-tirely can cost big money. 7. Keep good records. Whether you track your fi nances on paper or on a com-puter, develop a system that allows you to match your holiday list to what you spend every year. Good recordkeeping not only allows you to track the numbers, but also prevents you from duplicating gifts or overspending year to year. And it’s always a good idea to keep a list of what you get

from others to make sure you’re thanking people appropriately. Finally, consider whether it’s worth making new holiday traditions that go be-yond gift giving. Some families consider contributing throughout the year to a joint vacation or reunion fund to bring every-one together. You might also consider the needs of aging or needy relatives who need assistance with chores, transporta-tion or pet care. The holidays are what you make them.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEProtect Yourself

From Falls

(NAPSI)—Every day, more than 150 Americans are injured after falling from heights. Here’s how you can avoid becoming part of this painful statistic. The Problem Many falls from height result in in-jury or death because fall protection gear wasn’t used properly or at all. What To Do If you or someone you care about has a job, a hobby or a household chore that requires climbing, it’s wise to remem-ber that fall protection is essential when working more than four feet above the ground (over six feet above the ground in the construction industry). What To Ask Here are four questions to consid-er: 1. When you climb, do you maintain 100 percent tie-off? That means climb-ers are always connected to a restraint or fall-arrest system and to the struc-ture they’re climbing. One of the most common and most dangerous misuses in climbing among both industry veter-ans and new workers is disconnecting at height from their fall protection to transfer to another point or work area. 2. Do you believe the “six-foot rule”? There is a myth that people who stay six feet or more from an unpro-tected side or edge of a structure—such as a house under construction—don’t need fall protection. The apparent logic behind this misconception is that the berth between a person and the fall haz-ard is wide enough to eliminate the risk of falling. The fact is, physical space does not help prevent falls. Workers can unconsciously come too close to an unprotected edge in the course of their workday or slip and slide off an edge. 3. Do you wear the right-size har-ness? Fall-arrest harnesses are only ef-fective if they fi t well. The harness must also be properly adjusted, fi tting snugly without causing discomfort. 4. Do you have an escape and res-cue plan? According to a recent sur-vey conducted by 3M Fall Protection,

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: Are some kinds of pie lower in calories than others? A: How a pie is made has a bigger infl uence on its calorie content than what kind it is. The one exception is that an equal sized portion of pecan pie almost always provides 100 or 200 calories beyond fruit and pumpkin pie. However, if pecan pie is your favorite and its super-sweet taste leaves you satisfi ed after a smaller slice, enjoy a thin slice of what you like best. Apple pie may contain from 300 to just over 400 calories per slice, depending on how much fat and sugar are added. A slice of pumpkin pie traditionally contains about 320 calories, but recipe adaptations like using evaporated skim milk can reduce fat from the usual 14 or 15 grams per slice, consequently reducing calories, too. If the pie fi lling is what you love, leave the crust behind and save 125 to 150 calories per slice. If you’re the one cooking the pie, you can even bake the fi lling without a crust, more like a custard or fruit cobbler. If the crust is part of what you love about pie, you can reduce the crust’s calories somewhat and make it healthier by limiting added fat, using a mixture of canola oil and butter, and making half the fl our whole wheat. The biggest calorie savings comes from sticking to only one piece of pie, eating it slowly and savoring every bite.

20 percent of companies don’t have an escape and rescue plan. For those that do, it might involve calling 911. Unfor-tunately, emergency responders often lack the proper equipment or training to rescue a person suspended at height. The wait time for rescue can be highly dangerous because the average time until the onset of the initial symptoms of suspension trauma is between fi ve and 20 minutes. Expert Advice

“Falls are easily preventable by fol-lowing a few basic safety precautions,” explained Ray Mann, Fall Protection Technical Service, 3M. “So gear up with the appropriate safety equipment.” Learn More: To see why using fall protection equipment is just as impor-tant as other safety equipment such as seat belts, life jackets and bike helmets, visit www.3M.com/FallProtection and watch the video called “Make it Home.”

Safe Cars For Teens (NAPSI)—Many teens aren’t driving the safest cars, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Here are some dos and don’ts to help put your teen in the safest ride possible: Do look for a car with good safety ratings from trusted sources such as IIHS and the NHTSA. Don’t get a car with high horse-power. Do get a car that your teen feels comfortable driving and has few blind spots/obstructions. Don’t get a car that’s so old it lacks the most up-to-date safety features. Do seek cars with electronic safety control capabilities. Don’t buy a car with salvage, total loss, or rebuilt titles. If you do, Do everything to make sure the car was properly repaired back to manu-facturer specs. Don’t skip the test drive or me-chanic’s inspection. Do get a Carfax Vehicle History Report to fi nd out about potential

problems. Shop at the all-new Car-fax.com and get a free Carfax Vehi-cle History Report with every car for sale. Learn More: You and your teen can fi nd more tips plus a car buying guide on Carfax.com as well.

Fear The Flu, Not Ebola (NAPSI)—According to a poll con-ducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, 40 percent of Americans feel that they or their immediate family is at risk of getting Ebola. Yet with only a few con-fi rmed cases of Ebola in the United States, the actual risk of contracting the disease is extremely low. In fact, other infections that don’t hit the same emotional hot but-tons as Ebola—such as MRSA, an antibi-otic-resistant bacterial infection, and even the common fl u—pose much more of a risk than Ebola to the average American. So what is a rational response to the Ebola virus? Learn The Facts Don’t panic! Instead, educate yourself on these Ebola facts, and share what you learn with others. 1. Ebola is only moderately contagious. It is extremely infectious, meaning a very small amount of the virus can cause an in-fection. However, it is NOT airborne, as highly contagious viruses are. Like HIV, Ebola is passed through the bodily fl uids of an infected person. 2. Ebola is only transmissible when symptoms are active. In other words, you cannot contract Ebola from someone who has the virus but is asymptomatic, or who has recovered from the infection. 3. The risk of an Ebola outbreak in the United States is very low. Because Ebola is not spread through casual contact, it is extremely unlikely that an outbreak will occur in this country.

Fear The Flu! Considering these facts, it makes more sense to worry about less-hyped but much more common infections, such as infl uen-za. You might be surprised to fi nd out that the fl u, which IS airborne, and is therefore highly contagious, kills between 3,000 and 49,000 people per year. (The number of deaths is dependent on multiple fac-tors, such as which strains of the virus are spreading, how many people get vacci-nated, and how effective the fl u vaccine is against the strain that is causing illness.) In addition, complications of fl u—includ-ing bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and wors-ening of chronic medical conditions—are also a concern. For this reason, the Cent-ers for Disease Control recommends that everyone 6 months of age or older get a fl u vaccine every season. Another infection to fear more than Ebola is Staphylococcus aureus, particu-larly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA. Of-ten contracted through hospital stays, but now showing up in the wider communi-ty, MRSA bacteria are resistant to a wide spectrum of antibiotics—including methi-cillin, penicillin, oxacillin, and amoxicil-lin—and infection can be fatal. According to a study published in The Journal of the

Dr. Pescatore

- by Dr. Fred Pescatore

American Medical Association, MRSA was responsible for the deaths of 18,650 people in the United States in 2005--more than the 16,000 caused by AIDS.

Bolster Your Immune System Aside from the obvious steps of wash-ing your hands frequently and getting a fl u shot, what’s the best way to protect your-self against highly contagious infections such as the fl u and MRSA? Bolster your immune defenses, because a strong im-mune system will help you stave off what-ever infection your body has to confront. Here are three quick tips to strengthen your immunity. 1. Reduce your sugar intake. It may seem benign, but sugar depresses immune function. Research as far back as 1973 shows that when people are admin-istered 100 grams (or 20 teaspoons) of sugar (either as glucose, fructose, sucrose, honey or orange juice), the ability of white blood cells called neutrophils to engulf bacteria declines by 50 percent. The effect is observable within 30 minutes and lasts as long as fi ve hours. You’re not likely to ingest 100 grams of sugar in one sitting, but considering that a soda has 40 grams, it’s easy to see how a few servings can add up. 2. Get enough sleep. Sleep is not a luxury. It is absolutely es-sential for various body functions, includ-ing immunity. A recent study drove this point home. Volunteers snorted nasal drops that contained a cold-causing virus. Then they were monitored to see how much they slept and who caught a cold. Amazingly, people who slept less than seven hours a night were nearly three times as likely to get sick as those who got eight hours or more. Likewise, another study found that folks who were restricted to getting four hours of sleep nightly for six nights before receiving a fl u vaccine only made half the amount of antibodies as normal. 3. Restore your peak immunity with a unique natural mushroom extract

called AHCC®. You can also give your immune system a natural boost by taking AHCC (short for Active Hexose Correlated Compound), a natural extract from the roots of Japanese medicinal mushrooms that has been ex-tensively studied for its ability to stimu-late immune response and protect against viral, bacterial and fungal infections. One of the distinguishing features of AHCC is its low molecular weight of 5,000 dal-tons, which is 1,000 times lower than that of most medicinal mushroom extracts. This is one of the attributes that provides AHCC with superior absorption and clini-cal effi cacy. The subject of more than 20 human clinical studies, AHCC is a highly effec-tive immunomodulator. It is not directly anti-viral, anti-bacterial or anti-fungal. Rather, it works by making your immune system work better. Research has shown that AHCC increases the number and ac-tivity of several components of the im-mune system, such as cytokines (immune messengers), as well as natural killer cells, macrophages, T cells and dendritic cells (all types of white blood cells that destroy pathogens and abnormal cells). AHCC has also been shown in a 30-sub-ject human clinical study to increase the antibody response to the common infl uen-za virus when combined with the seasonal fl u shot. Interestingly, the fl u shot alone did not produce a statistically signifi cant response. Given the facts, there is no rational rea-son to fear the Ebola virus. More common and contagious infections, such as the fl u and MRSA, should be of much greater concern. However, taking the proper pre-ventative steps outlined above can give you some peace of mind knowing you’re giving your body the best chance of stav-ing off any kind of infection.

Live Long And Prosper? Yes, It’s Possible (NAPSI)—Life expectancy in the United States is increasing. According to government data, today’s 65-year-old will likely live beyond age 85, and a little more for women, who tend to live longer than men. By 2040, 79 million Americans will be 65 or older, nearly double the size of that age group today. One problem is that expenses are keep-ing pace with the uptick in longevity. The realities of infl ation, climbing health care costs and insuffi cient savings are putting a damper on the prospect of a longer life for a good number of Americans. In fact, Northwestern Mutual’s 2014 Planning & Progress Study found a full third of Amer-icans do not feel fi nancially prepared to live until the age of 85-which may help

explain why one in three adults does not think he or she will ever retire. The good news is that it is never too late—or early—to overcome the fi nancial security fear factor. Here are some ideas on building a fi nancial foundation that can help extend your lifestyle through your life span. • Fail to plan, plan to fail—Nowhere is that saying more valid than with fi nan-cial matters. Northwestern Mutual’s 2014 Planning & Progress Study also found that disciplined planners feel signifi cantly more fi nancially secure and happy in re-tirement. In addition, the lack of effec-tive planning was one of the top reasons cited for why some Americans feel they are “playing catch-up” with savings and investments. • Silence is not golden—While conver-sations about money can be diffi cult, they are essential. Since partners and, in some cases, adult children have a stake in fi nan-cial decision making, it is important to work collaboratively on refi ning fi nancial priorities and accountabilities. Long-term care is one example of a planning consid-eration that tends to impact the entire fam-ily. • Don’t go it alone—An overwhelming majority of Americans do not have a fi nan-cial adviser even though research suggests there is a correlation between professional

guidance and fi nancial security. An expert can take an objective look at your resourc-es and goals, counsel you on the merits of various risk and investment solutions, and devise a strategy to meet immediate and future needs. To learn more about how you can se-cure your fi nancial future, talk to an expe-rienced adviser or visit the Northwestern Mutual Online Learning Center on www.nm.com for a wide range of infor-mation and resources.
