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

Guest Columnist

“Keystone XL” -by Bob Perry

Building the Keystone XL Pipeline will clearly make North America a more secure energy producing continent by reducing dependence on foreign energy supplies and creating jobs, both in the short term in the building of the pipeline and long term with the processing of the oil. Safety in the transportation of the oil has statistics on the side of a pipeline as there are fewer incidences per mile than trains and trucks carrying oil in addition to reducing the in-juries of the workers. Five impact statements have been pro-duced by by the State Department and all have reached the same conclusions that the pipeline would have minimal envi-ronmental impact and the water resources would not be put at risk. Currently the US imports 7 - 8 million barrels of oil per day, and by becoming self-suffi cient in energy production we would realize the stabiliza-tion of energy prices. Economically the pipeline would add more than $3,000,000,000 (3 billion) to the US GDP and we all can agree that this would be a positive result. More jobs would produce more taxes for localities, states and the federal government. As a shovel-ready project the jobs to be created would support more than 42,000 direct and indirect workers. This is a no-brainer! Without question the pipeline is a huge benefi t to both United States and Canada and the possibility still exists that China may be the benefactor if the project never gets approved. The unions are one of the strongest sup-

porters of this project and it is clear that if the President does not approve this by election time the party of the president will suffer consequences at the polls. Eleven Senate Democrats have sent letters to the President urging the approval of the project, and it is a key issue to the Senate candidates who may well lose their elections without approval. Those object-ing to the approval are environmentalist who are strong supporters of the President, but who garners more votes at the ballot box? The unions or the environmental-ist? A decision on approving the pipeline was delayed before the 2012 presidential elec-tion and here we are two years later and the decision is still on delay. 1700 miles of pipeline transporting 700,000 barrels of this oil per day is most compelling to have it shipped by pipeline and the time to build it is long overdue. Like numerous other major issues that face us, without the right decision or a delay of a decision, this deci-sion not being made makes one conclude that that is the way he, (President Obama), wants it. The power of a President can have dra-matic effects on our lives and the lives of generations to follow. The national debt alone is so very large that every conclu-sion I have known about declares it can never be repaid. And the saga continues as President Obama makes it clear it is the way he wants it. Is he our friend?

We spent a few hours over the last weekend at this year’s Stinkfest, and while the crowds were a little thinner than the previous years, the event was as wonderfully stinky as ever. Leak fl avored dishes were avail-able from the vendors along East Main Street and from the various eating and drinking establishments along the way. Once again their were pony rides and a carnival for the amusement of the chil-dren, outdoor vendors peddling every-thing from satellite TV programming to jewelry, and a good deal of socializing along the whole route. Since the weath-er was slightly inclement this year, we took more photos inside various loca-tions along East Main Street. In par-ticular, we spent time at Monte’s Res-taurant, the New Keystone, and Togi’s Sub Station…….In addition, we at-tended the Bradford YMCA Barra-cuda Swim Team 2013-2014 Awards Banquet and took videos and photos, a few of which can be found on the pages of this edition. All of the award winners and videos can be found in the photo gallery associated with this issue……..Our readers will soon, once again, have an opportunity to discover the origin of the following business wise, and memo-rable quotation, tailored for our times: “In an age of rapidly expanding technology, the acquisition and exploitation of intel-lectual property is the single most success-ful business strategy on the planet.”……..Ron Peters, President of the Bradford Vets Club tells us that the VFW Post 212 is presenting a Mother’s Day Brunch at the Bradford Vets Club’s Event Center on Mother’s day, May 11th. It will be held from 9:30AM until 2PM and include a full breakfast, chicken & biscuits, and dessert. In addition, a carnation will be given to each mom. The tariff for this meal is only $8.00 for adults, and $4.00 for children over ten. Children under 10 eat free……..Verizon telephone land lines were out of service in the downtown area of the City of Bradford, May 6th. We can remember when one of the arguments for keeping land lines, after the advent of cell phones, was that land lines were more reliable. For example “What would we do to commu-nicate if the cell phone satellites failed, or the cell phone towers failed? How would we keep our businesses running? What we witnessed in downtown Bradford was just the reverse. While people had cell phone communication, many businesses who had credit/debit card machines con-nected to land lines could not complete on the spot, monetary transactions. Our ques-tion at this point is, “Who is legally liable for such loss of revenue in the downtown business district?”

Bradford Journal PhotoLeft to right, Tish Kelly and her friend Gerry Pehonsky of Bradford, spend some time with their friends, Steve Himes and Sherise Bray, from Columbus, OH at Monte’s Res-taurant, May 3rd during the annual East Bradford Stinkfest. Tish tells us that Steve and Sherise came in specifi cally for the big annual event. It had been a great day for all of them.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESHelp Your Mom Get Organized for Mother’s Day

-by Jason Alderman Mother’s Day is May 11. If you’re wracking your brain for ways to show your mom appreciation for all the sacri-fi ces she made while raising you, here’s a thought: Why not offer to spend some time helping to sort through her fi nan-cial, legal and medical paperwork to make sure everything is in order? While fl owers and candy offer im-mediate gratifi cation, I’ll bet your mom will truly appreciate the long-term val-ue of getting her records in order now so that she – and you – will be able to take appropriate actions later on, should the need arise. Some of the areas you might want to organize include: Retirement income sources. Gath-er these documents so your mom will have a better idea how much income she’ll have available throughout retire-ment: • Register your mom at mySocial-Security (www.socialsecurity.gov/my-account) to gain access to personalized estimates of retirement, disability and survivors benefi ts, lifetime earnings records and estimated Social Security and Medicare taxes paid. • You’ll also need your dad’s state-ment to determine any potential spousal or survivor benefi ts for which she might be eligible, so sign him up as well. • Annual statements for pension, IRA, 401(k) or other retirement savings plans for which she’s eligible. (Check your dad’s statements too in case she’s eligible for spousal death benefi ts.) • Bank statements for checking, savings, money market and CD ac-counts. • Company stock and bond certifi -cates, and statements for other invest-ment accounts. Outstanding debts. Also gather monthly statements and outstanding balances owed for major expenses in-cluding: home mortgage or other prop-erty loans, home equity loan or line of credit, car loan or lease, credit cards, medical bills and personal loans. Other important documents. Your mom should have documents instruct-ing how she’d like her affairs to be han-dled, both while she’s living and after death. Look for: • Medical, homeowner/renter, auto, life, disability and long-term care insurance policies. • A will (and possibly a trust) out-lining how she wants her estate man-aged after death. • Durable power of attorney and health care proxy specifying who will make her fi nancial and medical deci-

sions if she becomes incapacitated. • Also, a living will tells doctors which medical treatments and life-support procedures she does or doesn’t want performed. • Birth certifi cate, marriage license, Social Security card, funeral plans, safe deposit box information, etc. • Contact information for profes-sional service providers (doctors, phar-macy, lawyer, fi nancial advisor, bank, insurance companies, etc.) Also give these providers your own contact infor-mation in case of emergencies. Review these documents regularly and make updates whenever her situa-tion changes. For example, make sure that designated benefi ciaries for your mom’s will, life insurance and retire-ment plans accurately refl ect her cur-rent wishes. If you need help guiding fi nancial discussions, Social Security has created a special website for women (www.ssa.gov/women) that provides information on retirement, disability and other is-sues – in English and Spanish. They also have a Retirement Estimator (www.ssa.gov/estimator) that enters her earnings information from their records to esti-mate her projected Social Security ben-efi ts under different scenarios (age at retirement, future earnings projections, etc.) Another good resource is the Wom-en’s Saving Initiative, a program jointly developed by Heinz Family Philanthro-pies, the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER) and Visa Inc. This program features a free book called “What Women Need to Know About Retirement,” which you can download

as a PDF or audio fi le at: www.practicalmoneyskills.com/re-sources If you need professional help, con-sult a licensed fi nancial planner who can design a personalized retirement strategy. If you don’t know one, try the Financial Planning Association (www.plannersearch.org).

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEMeet Health Care’s Secret Weapons:

Pathologists

(NAPSI)—The next time you or some-one you care about needs hospitalization or just a medical test, your well-being could depend on a medical professional you may have never even see: your pa-thologist. Who Are Pathologists? Pathologists are board-certifi ed physi-cians who use technology such as digital imagery, advanced screening tools, mo-lecular-based diagnoses and others that were once just imagined to identify and diagnose disease. Pathology and laborato-ry results comprise as much as 70 percent of the information in a patient’s health re-cord. Pathologists are investigators on whom every medical specialist relies to provide a range of services, from prenatal testing to cancer screening, to guide the clinical team on how to treat their patients. The right test at the right time can make all the difference in diagnosis, treatment and re-covery. The pathologist’s pursuit of preci-sion extends across a continuum of care during a patient’s lifetime. What Pathologists Do For example: • By helping health care providers pick the right test at the right time, unnecessary testing and unnecessary procedures are avoided. • Pathologists use molecular testing to look for multiple drug-resistant organisms in patients and identify those at high risk for a surgical site infection so doctors can proactively treat that patient and avoid the problem. • They’re on call to examine samples taken during surgery and to review those results, which can be life-changing. • Pathologists also provide data and data analysis about the entire population of patients so doctors can determine who’s likely to be at high risk for cardiac dis-ease, vascular disease and diabetes. See-ing trends lets doctors be proactive and

Q. I’d like to eat more whole grains, but I need to limit sodium, and many are surprisingly high in sodium. What do you suggest? A: One easy way to get whole grains is with breads and cereals, though wheth-er whole grain or not, these do often contain high amounts of sodium. So, to keep sodium in check, try expanding your vision of whole grains to less processed options. Compare labels to fi nd lower sodium options like old-fashioned or one-minute oatmeal rather than instant, and shredded wheat rather than higher-sodi-um types of cereals. Instead of prepared whole-grain mixes, like boxed seasoned brown rice, that include large amounts of sodium (some contain about 500 mg of sodium per serving), choose plain, unseasoned whole grains (0 mg sodium) and add your own herbs, lemon juice and other sodium-free fl avorings. Some whole grains that cook in less than 15 minutes include bulgur, quick-cooking brown rice, whole-wheat couscous, quinoa and whole-grain pasta. Try wild rice, millet, barley, wheat berries, amaranth and freekeh (“free-kuh”) when you have more time. If some of these grains are unfamiliar to you, check the Whole Grains Council website <http://wholegrainscouncil.org/whole-grains-101/whole-grains-a-to-z> or recipes from the American Institute for Cancer Research <http://www.aicr.org/reduce-your-cancer-risk/diet/reduce_diet_recipes_test_kitchen.html> for ideas. Then have fun experimenting!

plan for what the community needs. The diagnostic truths that pathologists reveal can help all of society lead better, healthi-er lives.

REGIONAL & AREA NEWSStatewide Mentored Youth Fishing Day Set for May 10 (HARRISBURG, PA) -Excitement is building among anglers and kids for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Com-mission’s (PFBC) popular Mentored Youth Fishing Day, which will be held on May 10 on 41 waters across the state. So far, nearly 1,800 kids have ob-tained a free permit to fi sh on the day, and another 1,300 have purchased a voluntary youth fi shing license. “We’re excited that so many mentors and kids are making plans to participate in the program,” said PFBC Executive Director John Arway. “This program is designed to encourage adults to take kids fi shing, to show them that fi shing is fun, and to promote active, outdoor recreation. With warmer weather now here, we are prepared to deliver a great experience.” The program was originally sched-uled over two days, March 22 and April 5, but was rescheduled into one statewide day because of unusually cold weather and unexpected ice cover. “The pilot program last year was a huge hit with anglers and their friends and we have received nothing but posi-tive comments about it,” Arway added. “Adults and kids are excited and we want to keep it that way.” “To ensure kids and their mentors have an outstanding chance to catch fi sh on May 10, we will stock a fresh load of trout at each water on May 9,” he added. “Then the waters will be closed to all fi shing from noon on May 9 until 8 a.m. on May 10.” The program waters will be open on May 10 only for mentored youth day participants from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and anglers may keep two trout. After 7:30 p.m. the waters will be open to all anglers and the standard regulations on those waters will apply. To participate, adult anglers (16 years or older) must have a valid fi shing license and trout/salmon permit and be accompanied by a youth. Youth anglers must obtain a free PFBC-issued permit or a voluntary youth fi shing license. Both are available at www.GoneFish-ingPA.com or at any of the more than 900 licensing agents across the state.Also, the PFBC is reminding anglers that the process to participate this year has changed. Last year, participants registered online. Because the program is expanding statewide this year, and with an eye to the future, the PFBC is now using the Pennsylvania Automated License Ser-vice (PALS) to issue youth permits and voluntary licenses. “Issuing permits and licenses through PALS allows us to collect and

manage information regarding youth anglers,” said Carl Richardson, PFBC education section manager. “Specifi cal-ly, this process provides us with more customer data for better assessment of lifelong fi shing license buying habits and to develop programs designed to retain anglers.” As a result, anglers must create a sep-arate customer account for each child in the PALS system. In order to obtain the permit or voluntary license, the youth’s address, social security number, date of birth, height and eye color must be provided at the time of the transaction. Phone number and e-mail address are optional. These may be added to the customer’s profi le at a later time by fol-lowing the instructions in The Outdoor Shop at www.GoneFishingPA.com. Click here for detailed instructions. For every voluntary youth license sold, the PFBC will receive approxi-mately $5 in federal revenue from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Sport Fish Restoration Act program, which provides funds to states based on a for-mula that includes the number of li-censes a state sells. All revenues earned from a voluntary youth fi shing license will be dedicated to youth fi shing pro-grams. Also, vouchers for the voluntary license will be available at the 900 license-issuing agents and online. A voucher acts as a gift card and does not require any personal information at the time of sale. Clubs, organizations, busi-nesses, and individuals who are inter-ested in promoting youth angling can purchase quantities of voluntary youth license vouchers to distribute to chil-dren. Personal information is required at the time the voucher is redeemed and a customer identifi cation number is is-sued. “Based on last year’s event, we ex-pect that lots of fi sh will be caught,

many memories will be made and there will be plenty of fun to go around,” said Arway. “Don’t miss out on this special opportunity.” More information about the pro-gram, including a list of the waters, is available at www.GoneFishingPa.com

(NAPSI)—Protecting your home against break-ins may be easier than you fear. Here are a few hints that can help: • Install lighting: Motion-sensing lights can be a great way to increase se-curity without having to leave your out-side lights on all night. Use them in any shadowy area where an intruder may linger. • Maintain your landscaping: Don’t let overgrown shrubs give a criminal a place to hide. Keep trees and shrubs near the house neatly trimmed and be on the lookout for footprints near win-dows or trampled planting beds. • Keep valuables out of sight: Put away electronics or other valuables whenever practical. Consider mount-ing large items such as TVs or artwork where there is no direct sightline to a window or keep drapes or blinds drawn. • Your house never goes on vaca-tion: A vacation can make your home an easy target. Never post on social media sites that you are going away. To deter trouble, invest in some inexpen-sive timers, which can be set up with staggered timing on multiple lamps and in multiple rooms to mimic a realistic lighting pattern. Visit the post offi ce or fi ll out a form online to have your mail held while you’re away. Talk to your neighbors to let them know you’ll be gone, and if your trip overlaps with trash day, ask if they can move your bins out for pickup and take them in af-terward. • Upgrade door locks: Add dead bolts to any doors that don’t have them,

Simple Ways To Protect Your Home Against Burglary

including the garage and shed. Dead bolts are signifi cantly harder to force open than the more common spring bolts found in many doorknobs. • Fortify windows: Glass windows are one of the most vulnerable areas of any home and intruders often tar-get windows if doors are locked and secured. Whenever you’re away or asleep, close them and install locks on any windows that don’t have them. You can also get security window fi lm. One manufacturer, 3M, offers security fi lms designed to hold broken glass together.

The fi lms prevent shattered glass from fl ying into the house, reducing poten-tial injury. Tests have shown that win-dows protected with security window fi lm can deter intruders for as long as two minutes-giving police additional response time. Security window fi lms also reject up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays, reducing the effects of fading on your furnishings, and block IR rays, keeping heat out of your house.

Uncovering The Latest Trends Underfoot (NAPSI)—From setting the right mood to creating a strong style statement, there’s no question that the fl oor is the single most important visual element in a home. To help you fi nd a way to put your fl oor to work for you, here’s a brief look at some of the latest trends in fl ooring. Hardwood Trends Hardwood continues to be the fastest-growing segment in fl ooring due to its long-lasting durability and rich look. Ac-cording to current home sale reports, an investment in hardwood fl oors pays off when it comes to the overall value of your home. Lighter colors, longer and wider planks, and enhanced fi nishes are just a few of the style elements trending this year. Highly detailed wood grain surfaces are also in fashion as people seek to bring more natu-ral, unfi nished looks into their home. Distressed, weathered, wire- brushed, soft-scrape, even “demolition-style” sur-face treatments are popular these days. Sun-bleached blondes, driftwood-inspired gray-browns and other matte fi nishes in white oak, walnut and maple varieties are gaining ground by making imperfection a design element. Eco-friendly reclaimed wood sourced from historic buildings, factories, truck decks, mills, farms, food crates and other materials is another great option offering loads of character and unique, organically created surface textures that also easily mask scratches and wear. Technology is also playing a large role in the category, offering machine-created fi nishes that are scratch, stain, moisture and humidity resistant. One new surface treatment even helps clean the air. Acti-vated by light, titanium dioxide on the surface of the fl oor works like a living tree in your home. This natural purifi er breaks down pollutants such as formaldehydes, which can be present throughout a home, and converts the toxins into harmless mol-ecules. Hardwood plank sizes are also chang-ing in width and length. Wider planks are contemporary looking and give smaller rooms the illusion of a larger space. Long-er boards, sourced from older trees, are in-creasingly popular for their pleasing look and structural integrity. Coinciding with the durability trend, bamboo continues to grow in popularity for its diamond-hard surface and ability to perform in wet environments. As it is a reed that grows in water, bamboo is the only naturally sourced hard fl ooring that is moisture resistant. That makes it a great choice for kitchens and wet rooms. Carpet Trends Carpets today have come a long way from basic natural fi bers such as wool and cotton. Synthetic alternatives offer some of the softest, most luxurious, easiest-to-care-for and affordable fl ooring surfaces in history. New enzyme treatments in carpets cre-ate a moisture barrier between the carpet and the padding underneath, extending life span and enhancing appearance. Completely eco-friendly carpets have also made an appearance. One manufac-turer launched a carpet line made from

100 percent recycled plastic. The new synthetic fi ber is affordable, durable, and soft to the touch. Along with ever-popular shades of beige, sales of gray carpets are surging. To add some spice and avoid monotony, some manufacturers are presenting carpets with peppered bits of color against a neutral background. The new presentations help to hide fl aws while adding dimension to rooms. Patterned carpets are also gain-ing ground, offering fl oral, diamond and winding vine looks. Area Rug Trends Area rugs are all about color, pattern and texture, and this season everything is coming up soft, warm and cozy. As with the hardwood category, a growing trend in soft surfaces is nature-inspired looks such as tree bark and stratifi ed rock. You can even get a rug with a rippled surface that looks like a pond that a stone has been thrown into. Another eye-catcher is a shimmering rug that achieves a metallic look with fi nely woven nylon fi bers that sparkle when struck by light. You might not think sustainability when you think of area rugs, but think again. The ultimate in eco-friendly fi bers—re-cycled paper—has made its way onto the fl oor in the form of a soft, cozy shag rug. For those who want to customize the look of a room, one company offers inter-changeable solid and multicolored square rug panels that can be interconnected through a Velcro backing. Consumers can buy the affordably priced 16x16-inch squares at their local fl ooring store and as-semble them on their own. This appears to be part of another emerg-ing trend-low cost. Many are bypassing expensive heirloom pieces in place of more affordable rugs that make bold fash-ion statements and can be replaced in a season or two. Tile Trends From ancient Greece to current day, tile is as practical as it is glamorous. Tile trends today include aluminum, porcelain planks that you’d swear are weatherworn hardwood, and microthin ceramic tiles. Tile is the low-maintenance option among hard-surface fl ooring materials—and ce-ramic and porcelain are excellent choices when it comes to longevity and value. Low porosity makes most sealed tile resistant to moisture, stains and bacteria, and thus uniquely hygienic. Wood looks and natural stone treatments in ceramic tile are on the rise as consum-ers seek to bring the outdoors in. Porcelain planks made to look like hardwood fl oors can be placed where hardwood cannot go, including bathrooms and even pool decks. In addition, tile can be eco friendly, con-taining a high percentage of recycled ma-terials. Giant tiles, spanning two feet or more across, are becoming increasingly popular as they cover more surface area with less interruption of grout lines. In addition to clean lines and an ability to add dimen-sion to small spaces, these tiles are easier to keep clean. Some companies have presented mi-crothin ceramic tile that can be laid over existing fl ooring, thereby reducing instal-

lation time and costs. Resilient Trends Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is both afford-able and easy to maintain. New technol-ogy lets LVT replicate the high-quality look of hardwood, granite, marble, slate and other materials. Color variations and even surface texture offer design elements that originated in nature. Unlike natural materials, however, LVT is very durable and quick to clean. LVT is an excellent choice for wet envi-ronments such as bathrooms and kitchens. It is one of the easiest fl ooring materials to install, softer underfoot than other hard surfaces and warmer than tile and stone. A chart topper when it comes to eco friendliness, cork is naturally antimicro-bial, antibacterial, waterproof, a great in-sulator and extremely warm and comfort-able to walk on. It repels dust and is even fi re resistant. Plus, cork today is available in a rainbow assortment of colors, textures and new factory fi nishes to keep it dura-ble. Laminate Trends Advancements in digital imaging tech-nology let laminate—a photographic im-age fused beneath a protective layer—re-alistically mimic many materials. Today’s laminate fl ooring is versatile and cost ef-fective whether you want a custom look or want to adopt the look of another type of fl ooring.

Caregivers Of People With Schizophrenia Need Support, Not Stigma (NAPSI)—An estimated 2.4 million Americans are living with schizophre-nia. However, the condition impacts many more than those patients alone. It also impacts the people who love those patients, care for them and worry about them. It takes courage, compassion, and a commitment to stand and face this serious condition together. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s an ideal time to recognize this often overlooked caregiver population. Caregivers act as advocates, collabo-rate with treatment team members and often are the main support in the dai-ly life of their loved one with schizo-phrenia. Results of an online survey* among 302 unpaid caregivers to adults with schizophrenia reveal that many caregivers face challenges in caring for their loved ones, yet they strive to maintain a positive outlook. “Caring for a loved one with schizo-phrenia has considerable challenges be-cause of the stigma associated with the disease. Many people don’t understand schizophrenia and they may fi ll those gaps with fear. It’s a unique caregiving experience in that sense,” said Randye Kaye, mental health advocate, actress and author of “Ben Behind His Voices: One Family’s Journey from the Chaos of Schizophrenia to Hope.” Kaye is the primary caregiver for her son, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 12 years ago. Her book is a memoir of her experience as a mother and caregiver to her son, from the onset of his battle with schizophrenia along the hopeful road to managing his disease. Results from the survey suggest that caring for someone with schizophre-nia can be associated with signifi cant challenges. Of caregivers surveyed, 79 percent felt their loved one has experi-enced isolation and 57 percent felt they have experienced isolation as a result of their loved one’s schizophrenia. Perhaps because of the perceived stigma and social isolation, caregivers may feel they lack support from others. Seventy-nine percent of those surveyed said they wish there were more oppor-tunities to talk to others about caring for someone with schizophrenia and more than half (57 percent) have felt nobody understands what they are go-ing through. Despite challenges, 94 percent of car-egivers surveyed said they try to main-tain a positive outlook and 68 percent would likely be as involved in their loved one’s care even if someone else was willing and able to be a caregiver. Kaye knows fi rsthand how important the caregiver’s role is in contributing to successful outcomes for a loved one with schizophrenia.

“I know from experience the physi-cal and emotional burdens of caring for someone with schizophrenia, but I also know how critical my involvement is to my son’s success,” said Kaye. “I’ve learned that a caregiver’s informed in-put can be an incredibly valuable con-tribution to an effective treatment team. That’s why it’s important to develop strong and trusted relationships with members of your loved one’s treatment team.” Feeling supported is key for caregiv-ers, said Kaye. There is a notable dif-ference between caregivers who feel satisfi ed by the support that’s available and those who do not, according to re-sults of the survey. Compared to those who are dissatisfi ed by available sup-port, caregivers who are satisfi ed are more likely to feel grateful (39 percent v. 23 percent), content (27 percent v. 11 percent) and proud (38 percent v. 24 percent) about being a caregiver for their loved one. They are also less likely to feel stressed (36 percent v. 66 percent), challenged (40 percent v. 58 percent), frustrated (25 percent v. 54 percent), overwhelmed (28 percent v. 40 percent), and sad (25 percent v. 40 percent), and they’re less likely to feel that nobody understands what they’re going through (49 percent v. 65 per-cent). This reinforces that action is required to help provide caregivers with the sup-port and resources they need. “If you are caring for someone with schizophrenia, you are not alone. There are others out there who are going through what you’re going through, and there are resources that can help,” said Kaye. If you or someone you know is strug-gling to provide care for a loved one with schizophrenia, visit WeLiveWith-SZ.com to register for resources and fi nd the support you deserve. *The survey was conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of Otsuka America Phar-maceutical, Inc. and Lundbeck. The survey was administered online within the United States between January 20 and 27, 2014, among 302 adults who provide unpaid care for an adult with schizophrenia. Data were not weighted and are only representative of those who completed the survey. Certain per-centages include net values (such as those who selected “somewhat agree” and “strongly agree” on a four-point agree/disagree scale). References: 1.

Enter The Bigger And Better Eggland’s Best “Your Best Recipe” Contest For A Chance To Win $10,000

(NAPSI)—If your creative juices start to fl ow when you enter a kitchen or if you have a crowd-pleasing egg recipe hidden up your sleeve, then you might have what it takes to win the 2014 Eggland’s Best “Your Best Rec-ipe” Contest! Egg enthusiasts have until July 31, 2014 to visit the Eggland’s Best web-site to submit their most original and mouthwatering recipes into one of four categories: Breakfast, Appetizer, Main Course, and Dessert. Recipes must include at least two whole Eggland’s Best eggs and will be judged against criteria including crea-tivity, taste and visual appeal. Among this year’s judges is Donna Pochoday-Stelmach, the winner of the fi rst-ever Eggland’s Best “Your Best Recipe” Contest. “I’m honored to be part of this year’s competition as a judge,” said Donna Pochoday-Stelmach, 2012 Grand Prize Winner and 2014 judge of the Eggland’s Best “Your Best Recipe” Contest. “Cre-

ating new recipes and elevating classic recipes, is one of my passionate hob-bies. The one ingredient that remains consistent in my recipes is Eggland’s Best eggs, since they are fresher and nutritionally superior, compared to or-dinary eggs.” Eggland’s Best will be awarding the best recipe in each category $1,000. One of these four recipes will also re-ceive the $10,000 Grand Prize! This year, Eggland’s Best is introduc-ing “Fan Favorite” and “Kid-friendly” awards where two additional recipes will have the chance to win a $1,000 cash prize. Visit: www.egglandsbest.com/yourbestrecipe to submit your recipes and learn more about the offi cial contest rules.

Peach-Blueberry Egg Bread Bake

Ingredients

5 cups egg bread chopped into 1 inch pieces

5−6 peaches, skinned and sliced into small slices

2 cups blueberries

3 Eggland’s Best eggs

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 cups milk

4 ounces butter, unsalted, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Directions

1. Spray a deep pie baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. 2. Place half of the egg bread in bak-ing dish. 3. Add 2 cups of peaches and ¾ cup of blueberries over the egg bread; cover with remaining half of egg bread. 4. In a medium bowl, beat eggs; add maple syrup and brown sugar gradually until well blended; add in milk, butter, then vanilla and cinnamon, and whisk until blended. 5. Pour liquid ingredients over the bread cubes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. 6. Preheat oven to 350°, remove dish from refrigerator and uncover. Spread the remaining peaches and blueberries over the top of the egg bread. Sprin-kle granulated sugar over the dish, and bake for one hour until it has puffed up and is lightly brown. 7. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.

Protecting Against Sun Damage While In A Car

(NAPSI)—The average American spends more than 101 minutes a day in a car. Unfortunately, what many drivers and passengers fail to realize is that when they are in a car, not all the danger they face is on the road. Both drivers and passengers are often exposed to harmful ultraviolet A (UVA) rays, particularly from the side windows of the cars in which they ride. “Damage from certain kinds of ultravio-let rays is cumulative,” says Dr. Dee Anna Glaser, vice chair of the dermatology de-partment at St. Louis University. “These rays penetrate deep into the skin and can silently accelerate the aging process, cause wrinkles and even skin cancer.” Fortunately, adding a UVA-blocking fi lm or tint to car windows can be an ef-fective way to help block damaging rays and protect yourself while you drive. For example, a range of window fi lm options, sold under the brand name LLu-mar, provide UV protection. There’s even a clear fi lm that appeals to those who do not want a darker window appearance, or where the use of dark fi lms is prohibited by state law. When applied over ordinary automotive glass, this fi lm’s virtually in-visible protection blocks more than 99 percent of harmful UV rays.* LLumar window fi lm acts as “sunscreen”—offer-ing daily sun protection with a one-time application.
