Section Of Route 4005Closed Near Johnsonburg

(Johnsonburg, PA) -- The Pennsylva-nia Department of Transportation has closed a section of Route 4005 near Johnsonburg to traffi c. Deteriorating roadway conditions made the closure necessary. Effective on May 12 at 1 p.m., Route 4005 (Old State Road) was closed from the Jones Township line to Route 4003 (Tambine Road). The closed section is about three-quarters of a mile long. There are no homes, camps, or busi-nesses located along this section of Route 4005 but drivers wishing to travel through this area will need to use alternate routes. PennDOT expects the road to be closed until further notice. Repairs will be made to the roadway as soon as funding for those repairs be-comes available. PennDOT thanks area drivers for their patience during this closure. Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffi c delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffi c speed infor-mation and access to more than 770 traffi c cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts ac-cessible on the 511PA website.

Over 500 law enforcement agencies participate in “Border to Border” Initiative Stressing Zero Tolerance Across State Lines

(Harrisburg, PA) – PennDOT, state and local police are partnering for nationwide “Click It or Ticket” seat-belt enforcement running now through June 7. To kick off the enforcement, Pennsylvania is one of 16 states and Ontario, Canada, that participated in a Border-to-Border seat-belt initiative. The enforcement involves more than 500 state and municipal law enforcement agencies across the eastern sea-board, conducting increased enforcement at state borders to emphasize police focus on seat belt usage. Throughout the Click It or Ticket mobilization, enforcement will focus largely on nighttime operations, using Traffi c Enforcement Zones and roving patrols on roadways identifi ed as having higher unbelted crash rates. “Seat belts save thousands of lives every year, but far too many motorists are still driving unbuckled,” said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. “PennDOT wants to make the roads as safe as possible, especially at night when crash risk increases. We urge the public to join us in this mission to decrease these crashes.” According to PennDOT data, unrestrained fatalities dropped from 425 in 2013 to 383 in 2014. The statewide number of crashes in which people were not wearing seat belts also decreased to 13,627, compared to 14,436 in 2013. “While the number of unbuckled fatalities has decreased from last year, there was still a signifi cant number of heartbreaking cases reported,” said Acting State Police Commissioner Marcus L. Brown. “In so many of these instances, the victims may have survived if they had been properly restrained – seat belts are the most effective means of reducing fatalities or serious injury.” Motorists are reminded that Pennsylvania’s primary seat-belt law requires drivers and passengers under 18 years old to buckle up, and children under the age of four must be properly restrained in an approved child safety seat. Children ages 4 to 8 must be restrained in an appropriate booster seat. In addition, children ages 8 to 18 must be must be in a seat belt when riding anywhere in the vehicle. Also, drivers and front-seat passengers 18 years-old or older are required to buckle up. If motorists are stopped for a traffi c violation and are not wearing their seat belt, they can receive a second ticket and second fi ne. Funding for this enforcement effort comes from part of PennDOT’s statewide dis-tribution of $1.7 million in federal funds from the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration.

PennDOT, Police Partnering to Urge Increased Seat Belt Use

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

Guest Columnist

“Who’s Paying The Bill?”-by Bob Perry

It’s the state tax-payers, of course. The ACA (Affordable Care Act) in ac-tion shows that there are some racial and socioeconomic disparities still in existence whether covered or not. A language barrier is a problem as all too many who transplanted to the US have not learned the English language. The ACA was to expand health care to the poor through an expansion to Medicaid, but, as you might recall, the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that the states could decide to not provide the expansion as 22 states have done. The cost of premiums for coverage, especially in the states not expanding Medicaid, is a barrier leaving many without coverage. This leaves many having to decide between food for the table, or paying for health coverage, and food wins out most of the time. The biggest losers in this debacle are the state tax payers because under Medicaid the state pays the insurance companies the ‘tax,’ and the insurance companies pay the ‘tax’ to the federal government, with the state losing 54 cents on every dollar of insurance tax. It is estimated that Pennsylvania will pay up to $1,000,000,000 (one billion) for this additional burden. Thanks for such a well planned out system: NOT! The looming question is how is the Supreme Court’s going to rule on sub-

sidies in the states that did not establish the exchanges? Currently, subsidies are awarded to some based on their income level, but in the federal exchanges states the Court may rule that the law as written stands and subsidies in those states will cease to exist. If the subsidies cease then those who were receiving it will most likely be un-able to pay the premiums which would skyrocket. There are 8.8 million sub-scribers receiving subsidies in the 22 states with federal exchanges and their average premium reduction is 72%. A loss of subsidies will undoubtedly put the burden on the states to pay. When the state pays the tax payer pays! In all of this the insurance compa-nies were hopeful that there would be a surge in new customers to pay for the additional coverage as mandated by the ACA, but the reality is, they have had to increase premiums to both individu-als and companies that provide cover-age. As we all know companies that incur additional cost of any kind fi nd a way to pass the cost into the product costs. Bottom line: We the taxpayers are the losers due to a so-called law that is possibly the worst law ever passed by Congress and made into law by a con-nect-the-dots signature by our current president.

Photos for this edition were taken from visits to two third grade classrooms at School Street Elementary School, where, in our opinion, the students in both classrooms were fully engaged in their work assignments and enjoying what they were doing. As usual, the photos and cap-tions tell it all……...With the primaries over in McKean County the Republican incumbents who have won the nomina-tion by their party can get on with busi-ness as usual. Opposition by the Demo-crats who will run against them in the upcoming General Elections is practically non-existent. But that’s the way it is in these parts……..Our electronic version of William Deresiewicz’s book Excellent Sheep-The Miseducation of the American Elite has fi nally arrived and we’ve been enjoying the read. Our fi rst impression was that the author, having had the experi-ence as a professor at Yale for ten years, was addressing only the singularly narrow education increasingly afforded by the ivy league schools, the application of the in-tellectual abilities of its students, and the system that got them there. But as we read and digest, we have a strong suspicion that he is projecting his fi ndings over the edu-cational system in general, pointing out that life is a lot more than making a liv-ing, being consumers, and being subjects of the state………We had known that there were groups that recreated Civil War Battles as a hobby, but this week we discovered something new. There is an organization that recreates battles that took place before the 1600’s. This group, The Society for Creative Anachro-nism (SCA) by name, is an international living history group with the aim of study-ing and recreating mainly Medieval Euro-pean cultures and their histories before the 17th century. The group is devoted to the Middle Ages choosing to selectively rec-reate the culture and choosing elements of the culture of interest to them. Founded in 1966, the non-profi t educational corpora-tion has over 30,000 paid members as of 2014 with about 60,000 total participants in the society (including members and non-member participants. The SCA engages in a broad range of activities, including SCA armoured combat, SCA fencing, archery, equestrian activities, feasting, medieval dance and recreating medieval arts and sci-ences, including a broad range of crafts as well as medieval music and theatre. Other activities include the study and practice of heraldry and scribal arts (calligraphy and illumination). Members are afforded op-portunities to register a medieval personal name and coat of arms (often colloquially called a “device” in SCA parlance). SCA scribes produce illuminated scrolls to be given by SCA royalty as awards for vari-ous achievements. (This information was taken from Wikipedia where there is plen-ty more for those who are interested.)

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESA First-Year Money Management Guide For The New College Grad

-by Jason Alderman A young adult’s fi rst months out of col-lege are about personal freedom and fi nd-ing one’s path as an adult. Building solid money habits is a big part of that. Most grads are managing money alone for the fi rst time – fi nding work, places to live and if they’re in the majority, fi guring out how to pay off college loans. For many, these are daunting challenges. If you are a young adult – or know one – here are some of the best routines to adopt from the start: Budgeting (http://www.practical-moneyskills.com/budgeting/) is the fi rst important step in fi nancial planning be-cause it is diffi cult to make effective fi -nancial decisions without knowing where every dollar is actually going. It’s a three-part exercise – tracking spending, ana-lyzing where that money has gone and fi nding ways to direct that spending more effectively toward saving, investing and extinguishing debt. Even if a new grad is looking for work or waiting to fi nd a job, budgeting is a lifetime process that should start immediately. A graduate’s fi rst savings goal should be an emergency fund to cover everyday expenses such as the loss of a job or a major repair. The ultimate purpose of an emergency fund (http://www.practical-moneyskills.com/emergencycalc) is to avoid additional debt or draining savings or investments. Emergency funds should cover at least four to seven months of liv-ing expenses. Retirement may seem a distant spot on the horizon after graduation, but suc-cess depends on saving and investing as soon as possible. New grads can benefi t from the IRS’s Withholding Calculator (http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/IRS-Withholding-Calculator) to determine the right amount of tax is being withheld from weekly paychecks. From there, he or she can evaluate personal retirement savings options and employer’s plans as well – both will be necessary to retire effective-ly. Signing up for automatic deposits into retirement accounts and personal savings allows money to grow without the tempta-tion of spending it fi rst. Insurance is crucial. Renter’s insurance is important not only to cover personal be-longings that are lost, stolen or damaged, but most policies cover living expenses in an emergency and offer liability and medi-cal coverage if someone gets hurt at one’s apartment. Auto insurance is the law in many states, and even though disability coverage may be available at work, it is important to determine whether additional individual coverage should be purchased. Finally, the Affordable Care Act has made health coverage a must for young adults. New graduates may stay on a par-

ent’s plan until the age of 26 even if they have the option for health coverage at work. After age 26, health insurance can be bought privately or through federal and state exchanges. Young adults should get into the habit of tracking their credit reports from the beginning. By law, everyone has the right to receive all three of their credit reports for free (https://www.annualcreditreport.com) each year, and it is important to stag-ger requests from the three credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion – to better check for inaccuracies and potential identity theft. Finally, for those still having trouble

making ends meet, moving home for a lim-ited time period could be an option. New grads should negotiate an affordable rent on a fi xed timetable and use those savings to create investment accounts that can pay for major goals like a home, a wedding or graduate school. If you’re working with a fi nancial advisor already, ask them to weigh in with additional ideas. Bottom line: The fi rst year out of col-lege, young adults encounter a range of fi nancial challenges that will shape their money behavior for a lifetime. Embracing budgeting, saving and investing is crucial even with the smallest of amount of re-sources.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEUnderstanding

Rheumatic Diseases

(NAPSI)—Many people start to feel pain and stiffness in their bodies over time. Sometimes, their hands or knees or shoulders get sore or hard to move, and may become swollen. These people may have arthritis, a condition believed to be caused by infl ammation of the tissue lin-ing the joints. It can be a challenge, but there are things people with rheumatic diseases can do to feel better.

Types of Rheumatic Diseases The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis usually comes with age and most often affects the fi ngers, knees and hips. Rheumatoid arthritis happens when the body’s own defense system—called the immune system—doesn’t work prop-erly.

What To Do See a doctor. Only a doctor can tell if you have arthritis or a related condition and what to do about it. He or she will ex-amine you and may take X-rays of your bones or joints. You may get a prescrip-tion for medicine to help with the pain, stiffness and infl ammation. If you still have pain after taking your medicine, try:

• A warm shower• Gentle stretching exercises• An ice pack on the sore area• Resting the sore joint• Telling your doctor.

Lupus Arthritis is often seen with lupus, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system turns against the body. More wom-en than men have lupus, and it’s less com-mon in Caucasians than in other ethnici-ties. Symptoms can include painful or swol-len joints, fever, fatigue, a red rash across the nose and cheeks (called a “butter-fl y rash”), chest pain, hair loss, anemia, mouth ulcers, and pale or purple fi ngers and toes from cold and stress. Some peo-ple also experience headaches, dizziness, depression, confusion or seizures. No single test can determine whether a person has lupus, but several tests can help confi rm a diagnosis and rule out oth-er causes. Medicines used to treat lupus can include non-steroidal anti-infl amma-

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: How fast do I need to walk for it to count toward the recommended 30 minutes of moderate activity daily? A: You can fi nd reputable sources with lists of activities that identify your activity’s intensity – labeled as light, moderate or vigorous. For example, walking as moderate activity typically refers to “brisk walking” at a pace of three-and-a-half miles per hour, whereas very fast walking (at four-and-a-half miles per hour) or jogging (fi ve miles per hour) is classifi ed as vigorous activity. But these categories don’t necessarily work for everyone. One easy way to estimate your activity intensity is to tune in to how you are feeling. Based on a 10-point scale, where sitting is 0 and working as hard as you can is 10, moderate aerobic activity is a 5 or 6. Moderate activity means you breathe a little harder, and although you can talk, you can’t comfortably sing a song. In contrast, vigorous activity is a 7 or 8 on this scale, with heart rate substantially increased and breathing hard enough that you can’t say more than a few words without stopping to catch your breath. For researchers, moderate activity is activity during which heart rate is at 50 to 70 percent of estimated maximum heart rate, whereas activity is vigorous if heart rate goes up to 70 to 85 percent of estimated maximum. Keep in mind the heart rate that represents “moderate” activity varies among indi-viduals, and the walking pace that brings someone to that heart rate will vary, too. For example, someone who has been inactive or who is recovering from illness or surgery might fi nd activity “moderate” in intensity when walking at a pace slower than ex-pected based on a standard formula. Likewise, someone who is very fi t might walk at a pace rapid enough that would be vigorous for some people, but with a small enough increase in heart rate that it’s moderate exercise for him or her. According to the Cent-ers for Disease Control and Prevention, moderate activity that you do in blocks of 10 minutes or more counts toward the goal of at least 30 minutes a day; if you can total 60 minutes, that’s even better.

tory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen and naproxen, antimalarials, corticosteroids, drugs that dampen the immune system (immunosuppressives), and drugs known as BLyS-specifi c inhibitors. One key to managing lupus is to make healthy lifestyle choices such as eating well, exercising regularly and not smok-ing.

Health and Human Services’ National In-stitutes of Health (NIH), supports research into the causes, treatment and prevention of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases; the training of basic and clinical scientists to carry out this research; and the dissemination of information on re-search progress in these diseases.

Memorial Day 2015 Memorial Day represents something more than just another day off from work. In this time of national and world uncertainty, we have been reminded of the need for a strong, unifi ed national identity - a spirit of cooperation. It’s increasingly important that we, as Americans, learn to appreciate what we have: our resources, the varied qualities we have in each other. It is a time to refl ect on the work and sacrifi ce of those who fought for our right to a secure, profi table life. Our veterans stand out in this group. Through the decades, from our very beginning, our service men have given their youth, risked personal safety and comfort to protect and prolong what we know as the “American Way of Life.” Many have lost their lives. At this time, we feel it crucial to honor the memory of those men and women, to keep it alive in all of us. It’s time to start working together again to keep our values intact.

“I am the Flag” - by Ruth Apperson RousI am the fl ag of the United States of America.I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia.

There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the national fl ag.My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen white stars in a fi eld of blue, rep-resented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated to the personal and religious liberty of mankind.

Today fi fty stars signal from my union, one for each of the fi fty sovereign states in the greatest constitu-tional republic the world has ever known.

My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual qualities of the citizens of my country.My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American men and boys and the self-sacri-

fi ce and devotion of American mothers and daughters.My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.

My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.I represent these eternal principles: liberty, justice, and humanity.

I embody American freedom: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press, and the sanctity of the home.

I typify that indomitable spirit of determination brought to my land by Christopher Columbus and by all my forefathers - the Pilgrims, Puritans, settlers at James town and Plymouth.

I am as old as my nation.I am a living symbol of my nation’s law: the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.I voice Abraham Lincoln’s philosophy: “A government of the people, by the people,for the people.”

I stand guard over my nation’s schools, the seedbed of good citizenship and true patriotism.I am displayed in every schoolroom throughout my nation; every schoolyard has a fl ag pole for my

display.Daily thousands upon thousands of boys and girls pledge their allegiance to me and my country.

I have my own law—Public Law 829, “The Flag Code” - which defi nitely states my correct use and dis-play for all occasions and situations.

I have my special day, Flag Day. June 14 is set aside to honor my birth.Americans, I am the sacred emblem of your country. I symbolize your birthright, your heritage of liberty

purchased with blood and sorrow.I am your title deed of freedom, which is yours to enjoy and hold in trust for posterity.

If you fail to keep this sacred trust inviolate, if I am nullifi ed and destroyed, you and your children will become slaves to dictators and despots.

Eternal vigilance is your price of freedom.As you see me silhouetted against the peaceful skies of my country, remind yourself that I am the fl ag of

your country, that I stand for what you are - no more, no less.Guard me well, lest your freedom perish from the earth.

Dedicate your lives to those principles for which I stand: “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I was created in freedom. I made my fi rst appearance in a battle for human liberty.God grant that I may spend eternity in my “land of the free and the home of the brave” and that I shall

ever be known as “Old Glory,” the fl ag of the United States of America.

FAMILY FEATURES

As you prepare your favorite marinades this summer, remember that not all cooking

oils are created equal. But have no fear, good-for-you grilling can be as easy as using

a heart-healthy oil, such as Mazola® Corn Oil.

According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, corn oil can signif -

icantly reduce both total and so-called “bad” LDL cholesterol more than extra virgin olive oil1.

In fact, Mazola Corn Oil has four times more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than olive oil

and 40 percent more than canola oil2.

What’s more, because of its neutral taste, corn oil won’t interfere with the natural flavors

of your favorite foods and ingredients. Additionally, its high smoke point makes it perfect for

a variety of cooking styles, including stir-frying, sautéing, grilling and even baking.

Find more information about the heart health benefits of corn oil and a variety of delicious

grilling recipes at www.Mazola.com.

Which health screenings and exams are top priorities for you? If you’re like most adults, monitoring your weight,cholesterol, and blood pressure is probably part of yourhealth care routine. But what about vision care?

When adults reach their 40s, they often start to notice small changes in their vision, which can impact their daily lives and job performance.Whether having difficulty reading a book or working on a computerscreen, such changes can be frustrating, but they can often be addressedby an eye care professional.

A comprehensive dilated eye exam is the best way to detect diseasesand conditions that can cause vision loss and blindness. That’s becausemany have no symptoms in their early stages.

According to the National Eye Institute, all adults aged 60 and oldershould have a comprehensive dilated eye exam, with the exception ofAfrican Americans, who are advised to get the exams starting at age 40due to a higher risk of developing glaucoma at an earlier age. Even if you haven’t experienced any issues with your sight, a dilated exam candetect serious eye diseases and conditions such as age-related maculardegeneration, cataract, diabetic eye disease, and glaucoma.

During a dilated eye exam, your eye care professional places drops in your eyes to dilate, or widen, the pupil. This lets more light enter theeye, similar to the way an open door lets more light into a dark room andallows your eye care professional to get a good look at the back of youreyes to examine them for any signs of damage or disease.

Common Eye Diseases and ConditionsJust as the rest of your body ages, so do the eyes. The following are common diseases and conditionsassociated with aging that can be detected with propermonitoring from an eye care professional:

� Cataract. People who experience this clouding of the lens in the eye often report increased glare andfading of colors.

� Diabetic eye disease. A complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness, its most commonform is diabetic retinopathy, which happens when the disease damages small blood vessels inside the retina.

� Dry eye. Dry eye can feel like stinging or burning,and can lead to blurred vision or even vision loss if left untreated.

� Glaucoma. Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in visionloss and blindness. Open-angle glaucoma is the mostcommon form of the disease.

� Age-related Macular Degeneration. Age-relatedmacular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that blursthe sharp, central vision you need for “straight-ahead” activities such as reading, sewing, anddriving. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail.

Regular eye exams go a long way in helping you see well fora lifetime. But there is more you can do. Experts at the NationalEye Institute recommend following these additional steps toprotect your vision.

1. Live a healthy lifestyle. Living an overall healthy life is goodfor your eyes. This includes:

� Maintaining a healthy weight. Being overweight or obeseincreases your risk of developing diabetes and othersystemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss fromdiabetic eye disease or glaucoma.

� Eating healthy foods. You’ve heard carrots are good foryour eyes, but eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables,particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, orcollard greens is important for keeping your eyes healthy,too. Research has also shown there are eye health benefitsfrom eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such assalmon, tuna, and halibut.

� Not smoking. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is forthe rest of your body. Research has linked smoking to anincreased risk of developing age-related macular degen -eration, cataract and optic nerve damage, all of which can lead to blindness.

2. Know your family history. Talk to your family members abouttheir eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone hasbeen diagnosed with an eye disease or condition since manyare hereditary. This will help to determine if you are at higherrisk for developing an eye disease or condition.

3. Use protective eyewear. Protect your eyes when playing sports, working with hazardous materials, or doing chores likemowing the lawn. Protective eyewear includes safety glassesand goggles, safety shields and eye guards specially designedto provide the correct protection for a certain activity. Mostprotective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is10 times stronger than other plastics. Many eye care providerssell protective eyewear, as do some sporting goods stores.

4. Wear sunglasses. Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, buttheir most important job is to protect your eyes from the sun’sultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for onesthat block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-Bradiation. Exposure to excess sunlight can increase your risk of cataract and age-related macular degeneration, tissuegrowth on the white part of eye that can cause discomfort and blurred vision.

(INDIANA, PA)— Danni Jo Cobb, Bradford, has been selected for the Sutton Scholars academic achievement schol-arship program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. “Sutton Scholars are an elite group,” James Begany, IUP Vice President for Enrollment Management and Communi-cations, said. “We’ve established this pro-gram to recognize the best of our freshman applicants, ones who have very strong ac-ademics and outstanding promise.” Cobb, daughter of Matthew and Diana Cobb, Gilbert Lane, Bradford, is a sen-ior at Bradford Area High School. Cobb is a member of National Honor Society, her school’s marching band drumline, and key club. She dedicates time to Corydon Township Volunteer Fire Department. She will attend IUP in the fall as a technical theatre major. Students must apply to be considered for the program and are chosen following an on-campus competitive interview pro-cess. Started in 2012, the Sutton Scholarship is funded by the Foundation for IUP, along with gifts received from alumni, friends and employees. IUP’s Class of 2012 des-ignated a portion of its class gift to this scholarship fund. The scholarship is available to Penn-sylvania students and can be renewed for four years of study. Sutton Scholarship recipients are also eligible for the Sum-mer Scholars Academy, which provides scholarship funds for four years of sum-mer course work.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGEExercise As You Age: Enjoy The Benefi ts Of Fitness (NAPSI)—As you age, regular phys-ical activity is one of the most impor-tant things you can do for your physical and emotional well-being. Older adults are recognizing the incredible impact of physical activity and fi tness, and are becoming more active than any previ-ous generation. For millions of active older adults, the path to improved well-being starts with SilverSneakers® Fit-ness. In fact, 66 percent of participants said they would exercise less or not at all if it weren’t for SilverSneakers. The innovative program guides members through their fi tness journey, helping them to improve their physical, mental and emotional well-being, and reach their fi tness goals. According to

the SilverSneakers Fitness annual par-ticipant survey, measuring fi tness activ-ities and attitudes, 83 percent of older adults enjoy aerobic activity three or more times per week. Additionally, 65 percent do muscle-strengthening exer-cises three or more times per week, and 49 percent do fl exibility exercises three or more times per week. Exercise is a preventative measure that can improve well-being and health as we age. From tennis and yoga to hik-ing and dance, fi tness offers many ben-efi ts for older adults including reducing health issues and increasing energy and emotional well-being. Additionally, exercising through a program allows people to meet new friends, socialize with others and have fun. SilverSneakers classes are a great way to stay healthy and foster friend-ships, as more than 37 percent of partic-

ipants say they attend class to socialize. In fact, 68 percent participate in classes with a friend and 34 percent participate with a spouse or signifi cant other.

That is why SilverSneakers Fitness offers a variety of unique programming that provides members with access to fi tness facility amenities, specialized group exercise classes, and Silver-Sneakers FLEX™, which offers con-venient neighborhood classes and ac-tivities at parks, recreation centers and other local venues. Those who are interested in start-ing a fi tness routine are encouraged to take the following steps before they get started:

• Seek out an exercise that you enjoy.

• Consider any limitations and share those with your instructor.

• Start slow so that you don’t risk in-jury.

• Increase your water consumption to stay hydrated.

DecodingDisabilityCoverageTake the guesswork outof disability coveragewith these tips fromCarol Harnett, presidentof the Council forDisability Awareness:

� Understand what isoffered in employeebenefits and look into“buy-up” options thatwill provide greatercoverage.

� Know that some states mandate thatemployers provideshort-term disabilitycoverage and setparameters for what is included.

� If neither benefitoption is available,individual insurancepolicies are an option.

� Look for additionalchoices. If you belong to a profes -sional organization,you may be able to buy disabilityinsurance at com -petitive rates.

� To find out moreabout long-term andshort-term disabilityplans, as well as otherinsurance options,visit www.assurantemployeebenefits.com.

A Financial Primer for GradsBecause it’s never too soon to start planning a secure financial future, it’s a good idea for college grads to begin assoon as they land their first job. Not only does it teach them responsibility, but it lessens the burden on their parents,says Mary Beth Storjohann, a financial planner with Gen Y clients. She suggests graduates:

� Sock away at least $25 to $50 from each paycheck in a savings account.

� Take full advantage of employee benefits such as matching 401(k) contributions. Not participating in these plansis leaving money on the table.

� Start a repayment plan for student loans, carefully manage any other debts and live within their means.

One Size Doesn’t Fit AllThe financial responsibilities of a single person are very different than those of a parent with three young children or a middle-aged couple who plan to retire inthree years. In each scenario, individuals need to determine which tools will besthelp them achieve their goals.

Health and dental insurance are important to people in every phase of life.Securing adequate coverage not only protects your health — it can protect yourassets and keep your financial plan on track if a catastrophe occurs.

“A single accident or severe illness could cost thousands and prevent an indi -vidual from being able to work, so health insurance should be a priority,” saysCarol Harnett, president of the Council for Disability Awareness.

An Ounce of Prevention Saves MoneyIf basic health coverage doesn’t include vision and dental, these can be added on to provide important preventive care that helps keep expenses at bay.

“Employer-provided dental benefits provide affordable access to care to meet immediate dental needs through early diagnosis. They also help prevent future dental disease, along with its pain and cost,” says Dr. Jim Barrett, clinicaldirector at Assurant Employee Benefits, which specializes in employee benefits and services.

Vision checkups not only ensure good eye health, they are critical for success at school and at work.

Disability InsuranceNo one likes to think about becoming disabled, yet accidents and critical illnessescan happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone, and result in loss of income.

“One out of four people in their 20s will become disabled at some point,” saidMary Beth Storjohann, founder of Workable Wealth, which works with GenerationY clients. “They think that disability insurance is just for older people, but don’tthink about pregnancy complications or cancer.”

According to the Council for Disability Awareness, the average group long-termdisability claim lasts 34.6 months. Disability insurance can help ease the pressureof worrying about returning to work immediately, and allow the individual toconcentrate on getting well.

Planning for OthersLife insurance is a great way for families with children to ensure that youngsters’needs will be met if one or both parents were to die.

And while single twenty-somethings may think life insurance isn’t necessary,they could leave their own parents financially strapped if they co-signed any loansfor their children.

Don’t Be Distracted From Long-Term GoalsYes, parents want to protect their children from financial hardship, but they alsohave a responsibility to take care of themselves. While it’s nice to help with tuitionor a down payment on a new house, don’t dip into retirement savings to do so,Storjohann warns.

“(Students) can take out loans for education, but you can’t take out loans forretirement,” she says.

FAMILY FEATURES

Successful financial planning means establishing goals, using the right tools and updating the plan to ensure it continuesto meet your needs.

Some of the most useful tools can be health, dental, life and disability insurance, all of which help protect families and preserve assets.

“Financial planning is crucial for everyone. Defining goals for each stage of your life, whether it’s college or retirement,and outlining how you will reach those goals helps ensure success,” says Dan Danford, founder of Family Investment Center.

Memorial Day 2015 Memorial Day represents something more than just another day off from work. In this time of national and world uncertainty, we have been reminded of the need for a strong, unifi ed national identity - a spirit of cooperation. It’s increasingly important that we, as Americans, learn to appreciate what we have: our resources, the varied qualities we have in each other. It is a time to refl ect on the work and sacrifi ce of those who fought for our right to a secure, profi table life. Our veterans stand out in this group. Through the decades, from our very beginning, our service men have given their youth, risked personal safety and comfort to protect and prolong what we know as the “American Way of Life.” Many have lost their lives. At this time, we feel it crucial to honor the memory of those men and women, to keep it alive in all of us. It’s time to start working together again to keep our values intact.

“I am the Flag” - by Ruth Apperson RousI am the fl ag of the United States of America.I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia.

There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the national fl ag.My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen white stars in a fi eld of blue, rep-resented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated to the personal and religious liberty of mankind.

Today fi fty stars signal from my union, one for each of the fi fty sovereign states in the greatest constitu-tional republic the world has ever known.

My colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and spiritual qualities of the citizens of my country.My red stripes proclaim the fearless courage and integrity of American men and boys and the self-sacri-

fi ce and devotion of American mothers and daughters.My white stripes stand for liberty and equality for all.

My blue is the blue of heaven, loyalty, and faith.I represent these eternal principles: liberty, justice, and humanity.

I embody American freedom: freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press, and the sanctity of the home.

I typify that indomitable spirit of determination brought to my land by Christopher Columbus and by all my forefathers - the Pilgrims, Puritans, settlers at James town and Plymouth.

I am as old as my nation.I am a living symbol of my nation’s law: the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.I voice Abraham Lincoln’s philosophy: “A government of the people, by the people,for the people.”

I stand guard over my nation’s schools, the seedbed of good citizenship and true patriotism.I am displayed in every schoolroom throughout my nation; every schoolyard has a fl ag pole for my

display.Daily thousands upon thousands of boys and girls pledge their allegiance to me and my country.

I have my own law—Public Law 829, “The Flag Code” - which defi nitely states my correct use and dis-play for all occasions and situations.

I have my special day, Flag Day. June 14 is set aside to honor my birth.Americans, I am the sacred emblem of your country. I symbolize your birthright, your heritage of liberty

purchased with blood and sorrow.I am your title deed of freedom, which is yours to enjoy and hold in trust for posterity.

If you fail to keep this sacred trust inviolate, if I am nullifi ed and destroyed, you and your children will become slaves to dictators and despots.

Eternal vigilance is your price of freedom.As you see me silhouetted against the peaceful skies of my country, remind yourself that I am the fl ag of

your country, that I stand for what you are - no more, no less.Guard me well, lest your freedom perish from the earth.

Dedicate your lives to those principles for which I stand: “One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I was created in freedom. I made my fi rst appearance in a battle for human liberty.God grant that I may spend eternity in my “land of the free and the home of the brave” and that I shall

ever be known as “Old Glory,” the fl ag of the United States of America.
