“The Real Criminals”Part I

-by Bob Perry The creators of the US Defi cit and Debt are the ‘Real Criminals’ and ironically it is ‘us’ that put them into offi ce and in most cases repeatedly. Without question, the legislators we have elected to Congress have exhibited a serious defi cit in under-standing and performing their fi duciary responsibilities. In particular, representa-tives that have held offi ce in the House of Representatives and Senate from the mid ninety’s through the current session, have failed beyond measure. Alone the un-funding of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, totaling three trillions dollars, is un-forgivable and any legislator who held of-fi ce during this period can aptly be added to the ’Can Kickers List’. We can rightly add the Medicare Plan D (the prescription drug plan) which was passed unfunded with a $9.4 trillion liability. How dare they do this to the US economy! Every time they un-fund a mandate they are digging the hole deeper and deep-er. The real way to take the shovel away is to dis-elect all the ’Criminals’, but the par-ty loyal have an undying need to protect party favorites who have the best chance of creating seniority which produces com-mittee chairmanships and legislative lev-erage. Today the US borrows 40 cents on every dollar it borrows and, with the ex-panding debt, that is bound to rise. Un-conscionable, any way you look at, it! There is a continous effort to pass legisla-tion without the proper funding. One so-lution could be that all future borrowing becomes the fi scal responsibility of the

PennDOT, State and Local Police to Conduct Seat-Belt Enforcement Effort

(Harrisburg) – PennDOT will partner with state and local police in a national “Click It or Ticket” seat-belt enforcement effort through June 10. The effort will emphasize the state’s primary seat-belt law for drivers and pas-sengers under 18 years-old, and will in-clude outreach to boost awareness of seat-belt safety and laws. “With the busy Memorial Day week-end signaling the start of the summer trav-el season, I strongly encourage everyone to buckle up every time, no matter how far you’re traveling,” PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. “Buckling up is the easiest way to keep you and your loved ones safe; it can increase your chance of surviving a crash by up to 60 percent.” According to PennDOT data, 509 peo-ple died last year in unbelted crashes, a decrease from 524 such fatalities in 2010. However, the total number of crashes in which people were not wearing seat belts rose last year to 16,298, compared to 15,442 in 2010. Police will also focus on nighttime seat-belt enforcement, as 293 unbuckled fatali-ties occurred last year between 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m., including 145 between 10 p.m. and 2:59 a.m. “The ‘Click It or Ticket’ campaign can be a very effective tool for getting people to buckle up,” State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said. “We’re conducting this enforcement operation for one reason: we want everyone traveling on Pennsylva-nia roads to reach their destination safely. “All it takes is a few seconds to buckle your seat belt. Failing to take this simple step could be the difference between a joyful summer and a tragic one, so please buckle up,” Noonan added. 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 appro-priate booster seat. In addition, children ages 8 to 18 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 buck-le up. If motorists are stopped for a traf-fi c violation and are not wearing their seat belt, they can receive a second ticket and second fi ne. More than 600 municipal police de-partments and the Pennsylvania State Po-lice will participate in the enforcement. Funding comes from part of PennDOT’s statewide distribution of $1.5 million in federal funds from the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration. Visit www.JustDrivePA.com for more information on seat-belt safety and PennDOT’s other important traffi c-safety initiatives. In addition, the Pennsylvania Depart-ment of Transportation has announced that all driver license and photo centers, including its full-service center in Har-risburg, will be closed Saturday, May 26 through Monday, May 28 in observance of Memorial Day. Customers may still obtain a variety of driver and vehicle products and services online through PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services website, www.dmv.state.pa.us. Driver and vehicle online services are available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and include driver’s license and photo ID renewals; vehicle registration renewals; driver-history services; changes of address; driver license and vehicle reg-istration restoration letters; ability to pay driver license restoration fee or vehicle fi -nancial responsibility restoration fee; and exam scheduling. There are no additional fees for using online services. A complete listing of PennDOT driver and photo license center closings in 2012 is available on the website under “News, Stats and Facts.” PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffi c conditions before heading out.

5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols

With about ten school days left of school for the year, we place yet two more classrooms of fi fth grade stu-dents from School Street Elementary School on the pages of the Bradford Journal. We visited Mrs. Reiley’s and Mr. McGinnis’s classroom and noticed that even at this late date, so close to the end of school, teachers were still hard at work teaching……..Bradford Journal hard copy readers might make a mental note that information regarding Slavin’s Country Cup-board and it’s offerings, while not in the hard copy, can be seen again this week on our website edition. Tim tells us his store is not only a good source of supplies for those who are camping and boating in the Willow Bay area, but also a good source for moderate-ly priced entertainment for those who love outdoors fun……..For those who might miss the appointed hours for Barbequed Spare Ribs at the Bradford American Legion, Friday, or the Burg-ers and BBQ at the restaurant by the same name, the Roadhouse now serves steak dinners from 11am to 11pm. This Friday, Money-4-Nothing will be play-ing there from 9pm-1 am……...During the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s various nationally known race car drivers would occasionally address the entire student body at Bradford Area High School during regular assemblies. It was their mission to impress safe driv-er habits on young drivers. We can re-member them stressing that speed was not the killer on the racetracks or the roadways. Rather, they said it was in-attentiveness to road conditions, other drivers and mechanical conditions of the car, that cause the problems. Over our many years of driving we have dis-covered something more. There are a lot of “pokers” on our roadways. For example, in town, people will come to a complete stop in the line of traf-fi c to discharge passengers, or drive at the absurdly low speed of 15 mph. In the outskirts of town along South Ken-dall Avenue, drivers on the 45 mph or 55 mph roadway often come to a com-plete stop before making turns from the highway. They even poke along at 30-35mph creating long lines of traffi c. It is our opinion that most people sense that roadways are meant to move traffi c quickly and effi ciently. Others because they like special attention (being at the head of the parade) or because they have no sense at all create hazards that often result in accidents.

elected Legislative and Executive mem-bers of the government. To please the electorate for the upcom-ing election, the Senate wants to pass a law keeping the college loan rate at 3.4 %, but want to pass it unfunded. The House wants to pass a law by funding it and fi nd-ing funds that were set aside as a slush fund in the health care law. We need to elect the people that are insistent upon funding all legislation. The issue of student loans is an overreach of the federal government by barring private lenders from issuing gov-ernment-guaranteed loans. Annually, the federal government needs to come up with $100 billion dollars (that’s $1 trillion to the budget) loan to students - unfunded of course. The federal government is insist-ing to be the exclusive banker to Ameri-can college students. Note that the student loan legislation was passed by the party in power at the time so it would expire this summer prior to the election - criminals! Is this madness ever going to end? Speaking of the budget, the Senate again this year refuses to pass a budget and the question to be asked is “who is li-able for preventing a budget to be passed and what is the applicable punishment?” Looks like criminals are in the business of protecting criminals.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES

Prepare Your Kids for Summer Job Expenses-by Jason Alderman

High school and college students hop-ing to fi nd temporary jobs may be in for a tough time this summer – once again – as they compete with older, more experi-enced workers in a still-struggling econo-my. But if your kid is fortunate enough to fi nd work, there are a few things he or she – and you – should know about the eco-nomic and tax ramifi cations of temporary employment: Payroll deductions. If this is their fi rst job, warn your kids about common payroll deductions that can take a big bite out of take-home pay. Common culprits include state and federal income taxes, Social Se-curity and Medicare (FICA), health and unemployment insurance, uniforms and union dues. When starting a new job your child will be asked to fi ll out IRS Form W-4, the Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certifi cate. Employers use this form to de-termine how much income tax should be withheld from your paycheck. The form’s instructions help determine how many personal allowances can be claimed. Note: If you claim your children as de-pendents and they earn less than $5,950

tips, bank account interest and certain scholarship-paid expenses (such as room and board) must be reported as taxable in-come. IRA contributions. Retirement is prob-ably the last thing on your teenager’s mind, but you should know that they are allowed to open and contribute earned in-come up to $5,000 to an IRA each year. If you or the grandparents want to make a down payment on your kid’s future, con-sider funding an IRA. For teens it usually makes sense to open a Roth IRA as op-posed to a traditional IRA. Here’s why: With a Roth, you pay tax on the con-tributions that year – and kids are usually in the lowest tax bracket. Then, contribu-tions and investment earnings grow tax-free forever. With a traditional IRA, you make pretax contributions but pay income tax on withdrawals at retirement – usually at a much higher tax rate. If someone opened a Roth IRA at age 16 and contributed only $1,000 a year, the account could be worth over $300,000 by age 60. Sit down with your kid and play around with the Roth IRA Calculator at www.dinkytown.net – it’s a great way to teach the importance of compound earn-ings.

during 2012, they probably won’t owe any income tax for the year. If so, they can request that employers not withhold income taxes by claiming an “exemption from withholding” on Line 7 of the W-4. However, if you notice on their year-end W-2 form that the employer did indeed withhold federal and state income taxes, your child must fi le a tax return in order to get a refund. Self-employed status. Many teens start their working careers by being self-em-ployed, doing part-time jobs like babysit-ting, yard work or housekeeping. It’s im-portant to know that this income is also subject to income tax. If their self-employment net earnings exceed $400 in 2012, your kids also must pay self-employment tax, even if they owe no income tax. This tax is similar to the Social Security and Medicare taxes that get withheld from regular wages. Self-em-ployment tax is assessed at 13.3 percent of net self-employment income reported. The IRS provides a handy guide called “Taxable Income for Students” guide that explains what types of income are and are not taxable (www.irs.gov). For example,

THE FLAG OF OUR FATHERSMemorial Day 2011 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.

lic 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-sacrifi 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 forefa-thers - 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 display 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 coun-try, 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.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEAICR HealthTalk

Q: Is it true that regular soft drinks are a concern for heart health? Doesn’t heart disease risk come from too much saturated fat and sodium? A: Studies linking sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption with increased risk of heart disease have surprised many people. It’s true that too much saturated fat increas-es risk of heart disease and too much sodium tends to raise blood pressure, which also raises risk. Being too sedentary raises heart disease risk as well. Another concern is that regular soft drinks are concentrated sources of calories, and being overweight increases heart disease risk. Recent studies still link frequent consumption of regu-lar (sugar-sweetened) soft drinks with increased heart disease even after adjusting for people’s weight and recent weight changes. In two large U.S. cohort (population) studies, the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, each 12-ounce daily serving of a regular soft drink increased risk of heart disease 15 to 19 percent, even after accounting for differences in physical activity, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. Among women, weight related to part but not all of this link. For men, those with highest consumption of regular soft drinks had higher levels of several markers of chronic low-grade infl ammation compared to those who drank the least. Infl ammation can damage blood vessels and seems to be an important contributor to cardiovascular disease (as well possibly promoting development of type 2 diabetes and cancer). Perhaps part of the increased risk of heart disease was related to other differences between those with higher and lower soft drink consumption, but for now these fi ndings do add more support to recommendations from several expert health panels that we avoid or minimize consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks.

Hearing Well Makes Life More Enjoyable

(NAPSI)—If you’re planning to spend some time enjoying the great outdoors, you may want to get your hearing checked. Warm-weather outdoor activities such as picnics and nature walks are a lot more fun when you can fully experience them-which includes being able to hear what family and friends are saying. According to a recent study by Hear the World, 66.2 percent of people agreed that hearing at full capacity makes it easier for them to enjoy such activities. That’s why the team behind the study encourages people to take a free online hearing test at www.HearTheWorld.com to ensure their hearing is up to par. “It’s the season when people are getting out and enjoying warmer nights and long-er days,” said audiologist Susan Which-ard. “Ensuring that your hearing health is good can make your summer signifi cantly better.” According to the “Hearing is Living” study, 27.6 percent of people agreed that “Not being able to hear the sounds of na-ture can be very stressful in daily life.” Travel and Exercise Getting a hearing checkup can benefi t more than an enjoyment of nature—it can have an impact on a person’s overall en-joyment of two other key warm-weather activities: travel and exercise. According to the study, people who have addressed their hearing loss enjoy their travels more, have greater fl exibility in planning their travels and make more positive experi-ences during their travels, with 71 percent of respondents reporting they have “good experiences” when they travel. Also, those with a hearing aid engage in sports more often than those not wearing a hearing instrument. Not only are the bene-fi ts of exercise abundant, but 64.6 percent of study respondents said that when hear-ing loss is no longer an issue, it’s easier to socialize. Quality of Life Improvement Eighty-three percent said that their general quality of life has improved after addressing their hearing loss; also, 54.9 percent of those who have been checked and addressed their hearing loss agree that having a hearing aid makes it easier to do what they like in their free time. Among respondents with moderate to severe hearing loss, owners of hearing aids fi nd it easier to relax, are more able to adapt to different situations, feel less bored and have less diffi culties concen-trating.

3Ways to Boost Curb Appealfor Under $100

Want to add curb appeal, but don’t have muchmoney to spend? Here are some simple things youcan do for under $100.

� Clean up the yard. Put away unused items, likelawn furniture. Clear leaves and branches outfrom under shrubs, other plants, and the housefoundation. Make sure the lawn is free fromdebris and that grass clippings are not left onthe driveway or sidewalk. Borrow or rent apower washer to clean off the driveway, steps,sidewalk and porch.

� Trim, prune and divide. Overgrown plants canblock light from getting inside the house, andthey make the house and yard look unkempt.Trim shrubs, making sure to remove deadbranches. Get rid of dead or diseased plants inthe landscape. If you have perennial plants thathave gotten too big, divide them and plant themin other places around the landscape.

� Add new mulch. Mulch not only helps yourplants, but it gives garden beds a neat and tidyfinish. Wood mulch comes in different colors,but to showcase your plants the most, considera dark brown mulch — it resembles fresh,healthy soil, so your eyes are drawn toward the plant and not the mulch itself.

FAMILY FEATURES

When it’s time to sell your home, you want to do every -thing you can to make it enticing to potential buyers.One of the most important things you can do is boostyour home’s curb appeal.

In fact, the National Association of Realtors says that curbappeal sells 49 percent of all homes. To help you build curb appealfrom the ground up, TruGreen and Jason Cameron, licensed con -tractor and TV host, have teamed up to give you some simple,doable tips to improve your lawn and landscape.

Water RightImproper watering can be a big drain on curb appeal. Check the working condition of sprinkler heads and water lines to make sure they’re working properly. To ensure your manual orautomated watering system covers the landscape efficiently, set a one-inch deep empty food can in the middle of your lawn soyou can measure the depth of water collected each watering cycle.In addition:

� Don’t over water. Watering too much can result in shallowplant roots, weed growth, storm water runoff, and thepossibility of disease and fungus development. Give yourlawn a slow, steady watering about once a week. Adjust yourwatering schedule depending on rainfall, as well as yourgrass and soil type. Trees and shrubs need longer, less frequentwatering than plants with shallower roots.

� The best time to water is early morning, between 4 and 7 a.m.This helps reduce evaporation, since the sun is low, winds areusually calmer and temperatures cooler. The EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) says that you can lose as much as30 percent of water to evaporation by watering midday.Always be mindful of local water restrictions.

� Take advantage of rain. Let nature water your landscape asmuch as possible. Rain barrels are a great way to harvest rainfor watering your plants later on — and it saves you moneyon your water bill, too.

Complement With ColorCreate an instant pop of color to help your home’s curb appealbloom this spring. Consider your home’s exterior when selectingflowering plant combinations for plant beds, window boxes orfront porch planters. With a white house, any color combinationwill work well. With a yellow house, red or pink blooms tend tocomplement best.

Here are some other colorful tips to keep in mind:

� For a calming effect, use cooler colors like blue, green andpurple. They blend into the landscape for a peaceful look.

� Bold colors add excitement to the landscape. Warm yellows,oranges and reds make the garden lively. Yellow reflectsmore light than other colors, so yellow flowers will getnoticed first.

� To brighten up a dark or shady corner, use pale colors, likepastel pinks and yellows.

� Not all color needs to come from flowers. Foliage can be agreat landscape enhancer, so look for colorful grasses andplants like silvery lamb’s ear, variegated hostas, and Japanesepainted ferns. Jason Cameron, licensed contractor and TV host, says that color plays an important role in boosting your home’s curb appeal.

Grass vs.WeedsWeeds are plants growing where you do not want them to grow. They canbe unsightly in both your lawn and landscape beds.

Grassy weeds can be subdivided into annual and perennial grasses. Annualgrassy weeds, such as crabgrass and annual bluegrass, are generally easierto control than perennial grassy weeds like dallisgrass and bentgrass. Leftuncontrolled from seed, crabgrass alone can choke out desired turf grassesand develop ugly seed heads in the summer and fall that lay the ground -work for next season’s crop.

No matter what your weed problems are, a lawn care approach that worksin one region of the country doesn’t necessarily work the same in another area.

According to Ben Hamza, Ph.D., TruGreen expert and director of tech -nical operations, TruGreen will design a custom plan to provide your yardexactly what it needs to give your lawn the right start.

“We offer customized lawn care designed specifically to meet your lawn’sneeds throughout the year based on climate, grass type, soil condition andusage. And we back it up with our Healthy Lawn Guarantee,” Hamza said.

SLAVEN’S COUNTRY CUPBOARD3461 W. WASHINGTON ST. BRADFORD


Encouraging Parents To Read To Their Children (NAPSI)—Research shows that suc-cess in school and life starts with literacy. Consider this: Only 32 percent of fourth graders read at a profi cient level and 34 percent can’t even read at the most ba-sic level. Access to books continues to be one of the single most important factors in a student’s success, but far too many of America’s children do not have this most basic resource for learning. When children become good readers in the early grades, they are more likely to become better learners throughout their school years and beyond. In a nationwide effort to communi-cate the importance of reading to chil-dren, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) has launched a national public service an-nouncement (PSA) campaign, Book Peo-ple Unite. The campaign-made possible through a partnership with RIF, the Li-brary of Congress and the Ad Council-fea-tures many beloved book characters and a star-studded soundtrack, aimed at spark-ing a movement to put books in the hands of children who need them most. Pinocchio, Madeline, Humpty Dumpty, Curious George, Raggedy Ann and Andy star in the PSA, encouraging parents to “Read to a child today and spark a lifetime of ambition.” The original song in the tel-evision PSA was produced by Grammy Award-winning band The Roots. Celeb-rity vocalists Jack Black, Chris Martin, John Legend, Jim James, Jason Schwartz-man, Consequence, Regina Spektor, Nate Ruess, Carrie Brownstein and Melanie Fiona lend their voices to the song. By visiting www.BookPeopleUnite.org, individuals can join the movement by taking the pledge and declaring them-selves a “book person.” Each person who pledges will receive a free download of the song featured in the PSA. The site also features access to the Library of Congress’ and RIF’s respective websites, where peo-ple can fi nd tips and advice for reading with their children.

“One book can spark a lifetime of am-bition, and we are asking the nation to join us in igniting a culture of reading where all kids can explore, dream and achieve,” said Carol Rasco, president and CEO of RIF. “This PSA is part of our campaign to unite a community of people who be-

lieve in the transformative power of books and are committed to this critical cause. Together, we can realize our vision of a literate America.” RIF has been providing free books and literacy services to children and families in need for 45 years. And since 2000, the Ad Council has partnered with the Library of Congress on a national reading campaign. The organizations reach out to children in an effort to inspire fun and promote litera-cy in all types of learning, including read-ing books, magazines and cartoons, online and interactive tools, visiting museums, creating music and using one’s imagina-tion. “As America’s oldest cultural institu-tion, the Library encourages the use and enjoyment of our nation’s creativity and knowledge. We hope this entertaining campaign—combining beloved children’s book characters and world-renowned mu-sical talent—inspires families to establish a lifelong love of reading,” said Gayle Os-terberg, director of communications at the Library of Congress.

Choose “The Right Seat” For Children In CarsChoose “The Right Seat” For Children In Cars (NAPSI)—U.S. Transportation Secre-tary Ray LaHood recently announced the launch of a series of new public service announcements (PSAs) released in part-nership with the Ad Council that promote child car safety among parents of children ages newborn to 12. According to the Department of Trans-portation’s National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (NHTSA), motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 1 through 12 years old. From 2006 to 2010, 4,028 children ages 12 and younger were killed in crash-es and another estimated 660,000 children were injured in crashes involving a pas-senger vehicle. However, NHTSA reports that child restraints in the vehicle saved the lives of an estimated 9,611 children ages 4 and younger from 1975 to 2010. “While safety is our top priority for everyone on our roadways, we’re calling on parents to do everything they can to protect our most vulnerable passengers,” said Secretary LaHood. “These new pub-lic service announcements will encourage parents to choose the right seat for their children and properly secure them every time they get behind the wheel.” Working with the Ad Council as part of an ongoing campaign to ensure child car safety, NHTSA unveiled new PSAs that will air on television, radio, online and in outdoor advertising nationwide. “The Right Seat” effort aims to make sure all parents and caregivers are properly secur-ing children ages 12 and under in the right car restraint (rear-facing, forward-facing, booster, seat belt) for their age and size. Targeting parents and caregivers who think their children are already using the right car seats, the key message of the PSAs is “Parents who really know it all, know for sure their child is in the right car seat.” “The proper use of a child seat is the most effective way to keep a child safe in a moving vehicle,” said NHTSA Adminis-trator David Strickland. “Parents and car-egivers should always use a child seat and, based on NHTSA’s updated guidelines, should keep their children in their current seats for as long as possible before mov-ing them up to the next type of seat.” Coinciding with the release of the new PSAs, NHTSA also launched “Parents Central,” a new one-stop-shop website with tools and resources for keeping chil-dren safe in and around cars. For more than 25 years, the Ad Coun-cil and NHTSA have worked together on consumer safety PSA campaigns. Previ-ous campaigns targeted individual stages of child passenger safety; i.e., the LATCH system, booster seats and seat belts. The English-language PSAs were created pro bono by advertising agency Gotham, Inc. “We are proud to partner with Secre-

tary LaHood, Administrator Strickland and NHTSA to extend our more than 25-year partnership with NHTSA by releas-ing new PSAs that address the absolute importance of child car safety,” said Peg-gy Conlon, president and CEO of the Ad

Council. For more information, visit www.Saf-erCar.gov/TheRightSeat. Brought to you by the National High-way Traffi c Safety Administration.

Things To Know Before Your Next Trip (NAPSI)—Investing a little time and effort when preparing for your next trip can pay big dividends when it comes to safety and convenience. To help, here are some tips: • Avoid exchange lines, and unfavora-ble exchange rates typically offered in airports, hotels and foreign banks, by pur-chasing foreign currency before leaving the United States. • Always have local denominations to pay for taxi fares, tips and meals. • When using ATMs, use the same cau-tion you would when you’re at home. Don’t fl ash your cash after leaving the machine. Use only ATMs in safe locations and from reputable fi nancial institutions—such as large, well-known foreign banks. • Carry only the funds you need for each day’s outing. • Keep photocopies of your key docu-ments separately. Photocopies might not always be accepted but they can speed the process of getting replacements and/or be better than nothing. • To get extra fi nancial protection when traveling, carry and use a credit card. To minimize risk of theft or loss, take only the cards you will need, not every card you have. • Consider using a card that offers trav-el-related consumer rewards. For exam-ple, if you use the AAA Member Rewards Visa Signature® credit card* to book your vacation, you can earn three times the dol-

lars spent on travel purchases in benefi t points, plus double points on gasoline pur-chases and one point on purchases every-where else. Other benefi ts include: —Travel and emergency assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year —Auto rental collision damage waiver —Lost luggage reimbursement —Common carrier travel accident in-

surance, automatic common carrier travel accident death and dismemberment insur-ance, up to $500,000. • Before you depart, make a list of the account numbers of the credit cards, debit cards or prepaid travel cards you plan to take and the numbers on your traveler’s checks. Keep the list with you. Give cop-ies to a traveling companion and to some-one at home who you can call in case of trouble. • Keep cards in a safe place where they won’t bend or scratch. Never write a PIN on the card or carry it in your wallet or purse. • In Europe, you should plan to cash traveler’s checks at a bank in the country you are visiting, rather than presenting them to the merchant. To learn more, visit the website at www.AAA.com. *For information about the rates, fees, other costs and benefi ts associated with the use of the AAA Member Rewards Visa Signature credit card, visit www.AAA.com.

Helping Your Pet Get Ready For The Road

(NAPSI)—Investing a little time and effort before you leave can pay big divi-dends when traveling with your pet. Here are some tips that can help keep you and your pet on the road to happiness: • If traveling by car, the experts at the ASPCA recommend using a well-venti-lated crate or carrier. Make sure it’s large enough for your pet to move around in. It can help if you let your pet get used to the carrier before you leave. • Pack a travel bag for your pet. Include a bowl, food, water, leash, plastic bags and grooming supplies. Additionally, remem-ber your pet’s favorite toy or pillow. • If your pet still shows signs of travel

anxiety, you’ll be glad to know there are natural remedies that can help. Veterinar-ian recommended and 100 percent natu-ral, Rescue Remedy Pet is designed to help address a wide range of pet problems including anxious behaviors from travel or change in routine, fear of loud noises, barking or scratching. You can fi nd Rescue Remedy Pet at Whole Foods and anywhere natural prod-ucts are sold. Visit www.rescueremedy.com/pets to learn more.

Tips To Beat The Heat (NAPSI)—Here’s eye-opening infor-mation: Whether you get enough sleep can affect your mood, your weight, even your heart health. Fortunately, there are things you can do to improve your chances of getting a good night’s sleep. Summer heat and additional hours of sunlight can take a toll on our sleep qual-ity. In fact, a recent Sleep Number survey revealed that 37 percent of people struggle to catch restorative sleep during the sum-mer months—more than any other season. “For example,” said Pete Bils, Vice President of Sleep Innovation and Re-search at Sleep Number, “in order to fall asleep, the normal sleep cycle requires our body temperature to drop, and the excess body heat we release is absorbed by our bedroom and mattress. If the room is too hot or the bedding isn’t breathable, the heat will be trapped next to us—making it diffi cult to get quality sleep.” Bils offers the following tips to help people get great sleep: Excessive temperatures and humidity disrupt sleep • The optimal sleeping temperature is 65 degrees Fahrenheit with 65 percent humidity. So use a fan or a lightweight blanket during the summer, or adjust your thermostat to maintain a more comfort-able sleeping temperature. • Body heat is released through your feet, head and hands, so keep them uncov-ered. • Go to bed with damp hair. As the wa-ter evaporates, it creates a cooling effect. Light is the most powerful infl uence on your sleep schedule • The increase in daylight hours tends to delay bedtime, pushing people to get less shut-eye than they need. Use light-blocking blinds or curtains or wear an eye mask at night to help you fall asleep. • About an hour before bed, don’t ex-pose yourself to bright lights or screens

(overhead lighting, television, phone, etc.). The natural sleep process, the secre-tion of melatonin, begins when exposed to dim light. Maintain constant sleep and workout schedules • Avoid the tendency to stay up late and sleep in during vacation. Altering your sleep schedule midweek actually creates jet lag-like symptoms, which impact your motor skills, concentration, mood and health. Do your best to maintain a consist-ent sleep schedule, even while traveling, seven days a week. • Don’t exercise too late in the evening in order to allow enough time for the body temperature to cool down before bedtime. • Find bedding that works for couples

who can’t agree on warmth. Check out Sleep Number’s exclusive In Balance bed-ding collection items, featuring Outlast temperature-balancing material, proven to wick moisture and draw excess heat away from the body so sleepers stay at a com-fortable temperature all night long. Sleep Number utilizes the material, originally developed for NASA, in a variety of bed-ding products including sheets, blankets, duvets, comfort layers, mattress pads and its Innovation-series line of beds.

Securely Access Your Social Security Earnings Information Online (NAPSI)—Secure and convenient on-line access to your Social Security earn-ings and benefi t information is available due in part to fraud prevention services that help the U.S. Social Security Admin-istration (SSA). The SSA uses Experian fraud preven-tion services to securely authenticate and safeguard the identities of consumers who now have online access to their Social Se-curity earnings and benefi t information through the SSA’s new online Social Se-curity Statement. The Statement is simple and easy to use and provides people with estimates that can help them plan for retirement. The on-line Statement also provides estimates for disability and survivors benefi ts, making it an important fi nancial planning tool. In addition to helping with fi nancial plan-

ning, the online Statement offers a con-venient way to determine whether your earnings are accurately posted to your So-cial Security records. To get a personalized online Statement, people age 18 and older must be able to provide information about themselves that

matches information already on fi le with Social Security. Then, Social Security uses Precise IDSM, Experian’s fraud detection and prevention platform, to securely au-thenticate and further verify the person’s identity. Once verifi ed, the person can cre-ate a “My Social Security” account with a unique user name and password to access his or her online Statement. To get your Social Security Statement online, go to: www.socialsecurity.gov/mystatement


A Sweet, Cool Treat To Try (NAPSI)—Americans, it seems, are re-ally hot for ice cream. People in the United States indulge more than those in any oth-er nation, averaging 48 pints of ice cream per person, per year. Ninety-eight percent of all U.S. households purchase ice cream, with more sold on Sunday than any other day of the week. Here are a few more Cool Facts: • The fi rst ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776. • George Washington loved ice cream and had two ice cream machines at his home. • It takes 12 gallons of milk to make one gallon of ice cream. • The most popular fl avors are Vanilla, Chocolate, Butter Pecan, Strawberry and Neapolitan, followed closely by Choco-late Chip, French Vanilla and Cookies & Cream. • Cherry is the No. 1 Popsicle fl avor. • Twin Popsicles were invented during the Depression so that two children could share one treat. Now you can fi nd special deals on ice cream and novelties at the grocery store as the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) celebrates this love for cool treats with an annual June/July Summer Favorites Ice Cream & Novelties promotion. Those experts on cool foods remind you to make the ice cream aisle your last stop, keep frozen purchases together in a separate section of the cart, and pack ice cream in an additional brown paper bag for the ride home. Once you get home, you may care to try this tasty, favorite ice cream dessert:

Setting The Stage (NAPSI)—With a fl ood of real estate listings on the market, sellers continuous-ly search for ways to stand out. The process is called staging. Done correctly, it can make a house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer and make home-buyers want to buy it. To help, here are some tips: • Curb Appeal: The exterior of the house is the fi rst thing potential buyers see; make sure it’s bright, clean and invit-ing. • Clean: Clean from top to bottom, get-ting rid of clutter and organizing the space. Don’t forget the ceilings and fans. • Brighten Up: Do what you can to help buyers envision living in the space. Make sure windows are streak free. Hide personal pictures. Instead, decorate with fresh fl owers. • Living Space: Choose neutral tones

for the walls and furniture. Slipcovers are an inexpensive way to spruce up old furni-ture. Add pillows for pops of color. • Dining Area: Set your dining room or kitchen table. Use brightly colored plates and napkins. • Master Bedroom: You can make the space appear larger by limiting furniture to essentials; a bed and dresser will do.

Working closely with a licensed real estate agent can often help sellers achieve the best results. For more staging and DIY tips, visit: www.Homes.com’s Idea Gallery

Less-Than-100-Calorie BBQ Sides! (NAPSI)--BBQ lovers, you can have it all—delicious, quick, better-for-you side dishes in 100 calories or less per serv-ing! Registered Dietitian and weight-loss instructor Jennie McCary, MS, RD, LD, says that “every BBQ should have tasty, easy-to-prepare side options that won’t derail your diet.” Here are her three grill favorites, from the fruity to the traditional to the unexpected. 1. Fruity favorite: Pineapples rings. “I like to add a little fruity sweetness to my BBQ menu by grilling fresh pineapple rings,” says McCary. Grilling brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit, and one fresh, thick slice of pineapple is about 80 calories. 2. Traditional favorite: Corn on the cob. For a buttery corn on the cob, spray your husked ears of corn with 10 sprays of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray Original instead of using butter. McCary says, “The spray adds the great butter taste to corn with 0 grams of fat, 0 calories and 0 grams of trans fat per serving.*” 3. Unexpected favorite: Green beans. “I rarely hear of people grilling their green beans, but it’s a super simple way to make a tasty BBQ side that has 90 calories per serving,” says McCary. Try her favorite recipe made with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Light Spread, which has 50 per-cent less fat and calories than butter and no partially hydrogenated oils, so there’s 0 grams of trans fat per serving.*

Studies Prove Purified Dead Sea Salts Provide Highly Effective Relief

(NAPSI)—Can’t breathe? Headaches or stuffy nose? Cold? Flu? Chances are, it’s allergies. In fact, a growing number of people—50 million in the United States—suffer from allergies, which doctors agree can be debilitating. According to Dr. Scott Cordray, a board-certifi ed otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon and founder of LAVI Dead Sea Sinus Solutions, allergies are more than an annoyance. “They can make peo-ple feel sick and keep them from going to work or school,” he said. “Allergies can take a dramatic toll and lead to even worse diseases.” Often confused with cough, cold or fl u, allergies are the fi fth-leading chronic dis-ease in the U.S. and account for nearly $8 billion in health care spending. Taking Control The good news is there’s hope. “There are things you can do to take control,” said Cordray. “Minimize exposure—wear a mask, for example, to protect yourself from pollen and dust. Practice good nasal hygiene by regularly using nasal moistur-izers or sinus wash. And fi nally, treat the symptoms.” Doctors frequently prescribe nasal ster-oids or other medicated solutions that of-fer temporary relief, but these come with unwanted, potentially dangerous side ef-fects. Natural solutions—most made with sodium chloride (table or sea salt)--may provide some relief, but don’t reduce swelling or congestion like medicated al-ternatives.

A Scientifi cally Proven, All-Natural Al-ternative Now, two internationally recognized medical journals cite a natural, powerful alternative using Dead Sea salts, which—unlike other salts that are nearly 100 per-cent sodium—are rich in magnesium and potassium, bringing highly effective relief to those who suffer. According to clinical studies published in the International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology and The Laryngoscope, Dead Sea salts are superior to other salts in preventing and treating allergy and other chronic sinus symptoms and as effective as topical nasal steroids in reducing swell-ing and congestion. Purifi ed Dead Sea salts offer the bene-fi ts of medicated solutions without the po-tential side effects. That makes it helpful for anyone—especially those for whom prescription or medicated products may not be an option, including cancer pa-tients, older Americans or those undergo-ing postoperative care. Because of its anti-infl ammatory prop-erties, Dead Sea salts have a long history of effectively treating skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. This same anti-infl ammatory effect is now proving ben-efi cial in treating allergy symptoms and related illnesses.
