Left to right are Gregory Tyler 11, his friend Brett Kubeja 10, and Gregory’s mom Marie Ober. Greg and Brett attend St. Bernard School and play trumpet in the school band. Now it was time for them to see where they could take their band in a few short years, or simply to scope out a position for themselves in the Marching Owls. Just a couple students, looking ahead.

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

Guest Columnist

“Good Or Bad” -by Bob Perry

Is there such a thing as bad publicity? A Dublin wit once stated: “There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary“. In the world of politics, ‘publicity, whether good or bad, is good’. Name recognition is the real key in getting votes at the ballot box. This election cycle for president has seen an up-tick in publicity for the poll leaders for both parties, at least so far. Phineas T. Barnum has been given credit for the statement:‘There is no such thing as bad publicity’. Oscar Wilde expressed a thought that relates: ‘The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about’. These insights have proven to be invaluable to politicians who are in a large part nar-cissist in nature. Hear me, see me and vote for me. Works! The political parties, special interest groups of the fi rst magnitude, blast us with propaganda on the nominated can-didates with hopes they will recognized when the confused and ill-informed voters enter the ballot box and absent from a list of must votes react and vote for a recognizable name (usually an in-cumbent) or the fi rst name on the bal-lot. This time around we have been wit-nessing daily publicity centered around Donald Trump and Hilary Rodan Clin-

ton, the leading candidates in the polls. The pace is furious and unrelenting. In looking at the commentary by Donald it is clear many of his statements are like lightning bolts with personal at-tacks that do not get apologized for. A recent one was directed towards Carly Fiorina declaring why would anyone vote for a candidate with that face. One would think the female support would decrease, but there has had little effect. The attacks towards and from the news media involving Donald Trump keeps his name in the news and we can ex-pect it to continue as long as he is in the race. If the time comes Mr Trump feels the Republican Party is not treating him fairly he may well bow out opening the fi eld up to established party members to get increased publicity and possibly wind up winning the nomination. We all may remember growing up that the bad boys were talked about a lot, especially in school, and it was proved over and over again that the publicity they got was successful in getting girls attention and dates of-course. So, if anyone has a desire to run for elected offi ce, be prepared to receive the ’good with the bad’. Don’t forget, sometimes there’s the ugly, so go prepared! (Like being ig-nored!)

This year’s 36th Annual Autumn Clas-sic event took place on a beautiful au-tumn day, September 26th, and we were there to cover it. While ten bands performed for the event, we concentrated on our favorite bands (call us prejudiced), from Bradford, Otto-Eldred, Port Alle-gany and Coudersport. Photos of the Otto Eldred and Port Allegany High School Bands, as they were on Parkway Field, are found on the pages of this edition. And while we didn’t take any picture of the Bradford High School Marching Owls or the Coudersport High School band, we did manage to capture their performances in videos that can be found in our associated photo gallery. In addition, as is usual for such an event, we have included within the pages of this edition photos of volun-teers who made it happen, as well as many in attendance who spent the day watch-ing the performances………. As it turns out, September 26th was the date for two other important events. The fi rst was a workshop for Chivalric Masons, members of the Knight Templar of Penn-sylvania held at the Masonic Center on South Avenue, Bradford, for which, while it drew participants from Pittsburgh, Erie, Warren, Austin, Port Allegany, Bradford, and Smethport, we have no pictures. The second event was that of the Tri-County Fire School held in Smethport, PA. There, Mary DePalma was able to photograph many of the participants in this regularly scheduled school that provides continuing education for paid, volunteer, and industri-al fi re fi ghters. Her photos have also been included in this edition along with cap-tions that more fully explain the various sessions taking place at the school……..Our conservative writer, Regular Guest Columnist Bob Perry, very often refers to the impropriety of “kicking the can” alluding to the political practice of not solving legislative problems such as budget defi cits, and just patching things up to keep government running, effective-ly pushing them into the future for others to solve. While he is referring to activities in Federal government, this same mode of action, that of “kicking the can” is alive and well in the Pennsylvania Assembly. There, the PA House and Senate are at-tempting to avoid doing what is neces-sary to correct the condition of enormous ongoing structural defi cits in the budget (amounting to 10’s of $billions) by pass-ing yet again (as they have over the last twenty years) another stopgap budget, to supply money necessary for government operation until a real budget can be estab-lished. Nobody wants to see taxes rise to cover budgeted expectations. But if the can is to be stopped, that’s just what has to happen.

Bradford Journal PhotoThe Otto Eldred High School Band, small in number, but big on performance, took the fi eld just after 6:00 PM with a rendition of Rocky, “The Final Countdown” and more, during the 36th Annual Autumn Classic competition and exhibitions. Ten bands from far and wide performed during the event that ran from mid afternoon until mid even-ing, September 26th. (See videos of other bands in the photo gallery.)

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES10 Open Enrollment Mistakes To Avoid

-by Nathaniel Sillin How much time do you spend re-viewing your benefi ts before open en-rollment each year? If your answer is “not much,” you’re not alone. A recent survey by insurer Afl ac (http://workforces.afl ac.com/about-the-study.php) says that 90 per-cent of Americans choose the same ben-efi ts year after year and that 42 percent forego up to $750 annually by making poor choices. Rushing through annual benefi ts up-dates or making such uninformed deci-sions in insurance, retirement or other workplace-based benefi ts are actually part of a bigger story. Open enrollment is just one part of an overall fi nancial plan: Unfortunately, too many employ-ees see it as the only fi nancial planning they have to do all year. In reality, a safe fi nancial future de-pends mostly on the savings, investing and spending decisions you make out-side the workplace. As many employ-ers are looking to shrink or discontinue the retirement and health benefi ts they offer, it’s time to take a fresh look at open enrollment. Here are 10 benefi ts mistakes you might want to avoid. 1. Not having an overall fi nancial plan. Your company may offer excel-lent benefi ts now. However, the Labor Department reports that average work-er tenure at U.S. companies is only 4.6 years, so the biggest open enrollment mistake might be assuming your cur-rent benefi ts assure your fi nancial fu-ture. It’s important to work alone or with qualifi ed advisors to determine the right work-based benefi ts as part of overall spending, savings and invest-ment activities throughout your life-time. 2. Making choices at the last minute. Your benefi ts are important and de-serve time for consideration. Put your open enrollment dates on your personal calendar with a reminder a few weeks ahead of time to coordinate with quali-fi ed advisors if you have them. 3. Forgetting to coordinate with your spouse or partner. Many employ-ers are planning big changes to spouse/partner benefi ts. While the Patient Pro-tection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) lets parents keep children on their health plans until age 26, more employers are instituting “spousal surcharges” or ex-cluding spousal coverage altogether if they already have access to employer health insurance. 4. Ignoring your state’s Health In-surance Marketplace. Even if you have employer health insurance, things

change. If you lose a job or cannot stay on your spouse or partner’s health plan, it might be worthwhile to famil-iarize yourself with your state’s ACA-mandated health insurance marketplace ahead of time. 5. Underestimating how big life events might affect your benefi ts. Sal-ary changes, marriage, divorce, serious illness or starting a family are big sig-nals to check your benefi ts, preferably well in advance of open enrollment. Think through every potential situation you might face and ask questions about how those changes might affect your benefi t selections. 6. Passing on fl exible spending ac-counts (FSAs) and health savings ac-counts (HSAs). FSAs are workplace-based accounts that allow you to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to help you pay for healthcare and dependent care expenses during the calendar year. HSAs, if you qualify, also allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars in a quali-fi ed investment or savings account for long-and-short term medical expenses not covered by insurance. They don’t require you to spend out those funds every year. Your workplace benefi ts counselor, qualifi ed fi nancial advisor and Internal Revenue Service Publica-tion 969 can assist with eligibility, types of accounts, contribution limits and tax issues associated with these choices. 7. Leaving retirement selections

unchanged. As the Afl ac data indicates, many individuals don’t change their in-vestment focus in self-directed retire-ment plans for years. That’s why re-viewing options in advance is essential. 8. Overlooking wellness options. Many employers pay for exercise, cho-lesterol screenings, weight loss, smok-ing cessation, immunizations or related benefi ts that can make you healthier, save money and possibly lower health premiums. 9. Bypassing transportation breaks. If you drive or take public or company-sponsored transportation to and from work, you may qualify for specifi c dis-counts or tax deductions. IRS Publica-tion 15-B covers these programs and how to use them most effectively. 10. Forgetting education benefi ts. If an employer is willing to train you to advance in your career, don’t pass it up. However, get advice on the possibility of tax liability for these benefi ts. Sepa-rately, check out employer-sponsored education grant or scholarship awards for you or your kids – that can be free money. Bottom line: Open enrollment is just one piece of a well-organized fi nancial puzzle. Make sure your employer pro-vided benefi ts choices compliment sav-ings, investing and spending decisions you’re making on your own.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEIf You Have Symptoms of

Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease,

Get Tested! (NAPSI)—Chest discomfort. Heart-burn. Tightness or pressure in the throat, jaw, shoulder, abdomen, back or arm. What medical condition could these symp-toms be associated with? The answer may surprise you. The answer is a common heart disease called obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). “Obstructive CAD is a blockage of the heart arteries and it can be very seri-ous,” said Dr. Alan Grossman, a Medical Director of Non-Invasive Cardiology at the Heart and Vascular Center of Arizo-na. “Unfortunately, it is one of the most diffi cult diseases to diagnose because the symptoms are shared by many other health conditions. Diagnosing obstructive CAD in women is even more challenging because the symptoms that women expe-rience are more diverse and less obvious than the symptoms men often exhibit.” For many years, the standard approach to diagnosing obstructive CAD involved advanced cardiac tests that come with risks of radiation exposure and compli-cations from invasive procedures, but an emerging fi eld of medical research called cardiovascular genomics has given doc-tors a new way to decide if their patients’ symptoms are caused by obstructive CAD. Mandy Welsheimer is glad she lives in the era of cardiovascular genomics. Heart disease runs in her family, so when she began to experience chest pain, she spoke with her doctor immediately. “I was relieved when I learned that my risk of obstructive CAD was low,” said Welsheimer. “All it took to determine that I was at low risk was a blood test taken right in the doctor’s offi ce—I didn’t have to run on a treadmill or do any complex follow-up procedures.” The test Welsheimer received is a blood test that uses age, sex and gene expression (the Corus® CAD test) to calculate a sin-gle score that indicates the likelihood of the presence of obstructive CAD. Unlike a genetic test, which provides information about a patient’s lifetime disease risk, this test provides a current-state assessment of obstructive CAD by looking at age, sex and the expression of genes associated with the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Traditional tests for obstructive CAD are known to be less accurate in women, but this test accounts for cardiovascular differences between the sexes. It’s much safer for the patient and also has the ben-efi t of saving the health system money by reducing unnecessary tests and proce-dures.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: What do you suggest for healthy choices when tailgating? A: There are many delicious options for tailgate parties that promote good health by providing plenty of plant foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans and limiting high calorie foods. If you grill, choose chicken; include some vegetable kebabs, too, for a delicious way to add vegetables. If you like make-ahead dishes, chili, sloppy joes, lasagna, and enchilada casserole can all be lean and healthy when prepared with lots of vegetables and beans. Try them with lean ground turkey if you don’t want to make them vegetarian; if the dish includes cheese, limit the amount and use reduced-fat options.For options that let you do the prep work in advance, stir-fry some vegetables and chicken, and let people create their own fajitas by rolling them up in whole-wheat tortillas, with or without some reduced-fat cheese. If your tailgates tend toward sandwiches and subs, make them lean with fresh meat like turkey or a little lean roast beef and load them with vegetables. Cut the sandwiches into small sections to make portion control easier for people, and make some with whole-grain bread and rolls.Since it’s easy to nosh through more chips than intended, provide a range of veg-etables instead; add some whole-wheat pita bread wedges and hummus if you want. Grapes and melon chunks on skewers or toothpicks make a healthy way to fi nish off the tailgate with a sweet note. Since drinks can add so many unwanted calories, make sure to offer one or more calorie-free selections, like water (plain, sparkling water, or infused with a little fruit or cucumber and basil) and tea (iced, plain or chai-fl avored tea).

If you are concerned about the symp-toms of obstructive CAD, talk with your doctor. For more information about the blood test, visit www.cardiodx.com. Fast Facts • One in seven deaths among Ameri-cans is caused by CAD.1 • Diagnosis of obstructive CAD is more diffi cult in women because their symp-

toms are more diverse and less obvious. • A new blood test called Corus CAD helps doctors identify patients who are at low risk so that unnecessary and potential-ly harmful cardiac tests can be avoided. 1Mozzafarian D, Benjamin EJ, Go AS, et al. on behalf of the American Heart Association Sta-tistics Committee and Stroke Statistics Subcom-mittee.

Bradford Journal PhotoMoments after the ribbon cutting, September 24th, at Sam’s Place (89 Main Street Bradford), owner Sam McEwen was heard to exclaim, “So that’s it? Let’s tape it back together and do it again!” Helping with the event were Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce, Executive Director, Ron Orris, and his membership coordinator, Tricia Wilt. The restaurant is focusing on bringing back old time recipes including Broaster Chicken and the original Texas Hots. And we happen to know that chicken and biscuits will also be a regular menu item there.

Grand Opening Of Sam’s Place Downtown

Bradford Journal PhotoIt was the day of the long awaited grand opening for Sam’s Place (89 Main St., Bradford), September 24th, and everyone was excited, even the chicken (a Sam’s Place employee, Heather Ruffner). She was clucking around and fl apping her wings, waiting for the ribbon cutting which soon followed. This restaurant boasts “Bring-ing Back Old Hometown Recipes,” two examples of which are “Broaster” chick-en, and the original Texas Hots.

xxxx Hot Tips On Getting Ready For

Cold Weather (NAPSI)—Just as you wouldn’t drive your car 100,000 miles without changing the oil, regular preventative maintenance is the best way to ensure trouble-free op-eration and peak performance from your home’s heating and cooling system. Pre-season maintenance can help you avoid a system failure in severe weather, when you need it least, and it can keep your en-ergy bill from getting you hot under the collar. What To Do A complete cleaning should include replacing the fi lter and cleaning the duct-work, from where the air enters the return duct, through the air handler (blower, coil, and head exchange), to the exit, where the air is released to condition the home. This will remove built-up particulates and con-taminants, improving indoor air quality and maximizing system effi ciency. Why To Do It • You Save Energy: According to the United States Department of Energy, HVAC systems account for approximately 56 percent of the energy use in a typical home. When those systems begin to wear, they begin to operate less effi ciently. Even in new buildings, HVAC systems can be dirty, and will become more heavily fouled through everyday use. Contami-nated heating and cooling systems can be problematic for occupants, contributing to poor indoor air quality, system failure and increased energy use. Proper maintenance and cleaning prac-tices, such as those suggested by the Na-tional Air Duct Cleaners Association (NA-DCA), can result in at least an 11 percent energy savings for home and business owners, according to a study conducted by the organization. • You Improve Indoor Air Quality: In a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust are created annually through every-day living. Your heating and cooling sys-tem is the lungs of your home. The system takes air in and breathes air out. Contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated fi ve to seven times a day, on average. Over time, this causes a buildup of contaminants in the ductwork. Dirt may contribute to health issues, especially in people with respiratory con-ditions, autoimmune disorders or certain allergies. Where To Learn More Further facts and tips are at www.na-dca.com. The locator there can help you fi nd nearby NADCA-certifi ed profession-als. They adhere to a standard that can en-sure a quality performance.

Bradford Journal PhotoWorking the gate for the 36th Annual Autumn Classic, September 26th, were Mary Gunter, and Dr. Kurt Laemmer. They tell us they were working the evening shift for the event whose gates opened at mid afternoon and continued until mid evening, and that they were enjoying all the smiling faces on an ideal day. Ten bands performed handily across the Parkway Field, Bradford followed by a dance exhibition by the Queen B’s of Bradford’s Studio B Dance Academy.

Close Calls (NAPSI)—At least 1,500 people a year could avoid getting injured or killed on the road, government and university researchers say, if road rage could be eliminated. How To Stop It One way to do that, according to study.com, is to reduce tailgating, espe-cially by young drivers. The Hartford Courant found the most common “contributing factor” noted by police in crashes caused by new driv-ers was following another vehicle too closely. Most crashes where tailgating was the primary causal factor happened be-tween 2 and 3 p.m., about the time high school classes are done for the day. In other words, the typical crash caused by a 16- or 17-year-old driver doesn’t involve a car careening off the road during a boozy, late-night joyride. The Cause Tailgating is so high on the list of accident causes because stopping in-volves more than just applying the brakes. It also includes perception time (realization that you need to stop) and reaction time (moving your foot to the brake pedal). At 60 mph, by the time the vehicle begins to slow down, it will have traveled more than 130 feet. Most drivers know they should maintain a minimum of three seconds between a car and the vehicle in front. However, depending on factors such as vehicle condition, size and type, speed, time of day, road and weather condi-tions, and visibility, the time it takes to fully stop can vary dramatically. For example, a wet road can quadruple the time required to fully stop, and increas-ing speed from 35 mph to 55 mph nearly doubles the required stopping distance. What You Can Do If you fi nd that another vehicle is tailgating you, remain calm and don’t let ego get in the way of safety. Do not slam on your brakes, honk your horn or use angry gestures. Instead, if there is an alternate lane, safely move over so the other car can pass. If you can’t move over, slowly increase the distance between your car and the one in front of you. That way, if the tailgater hits you, you’re less likely to hit another car. Learn More: For further informa-tion on what to do if someone is tailgat-ing visit www.accidentattorneys.org

While it’s important to take care of yourself at every life stage, seniors are more vulnerable to age-related ailments such as high blood pressure and dementia—but by investing a little time and energy you can make small changes that help create a more enjoyable future. Here’s a look at three good ways you can optimize your physical, mental and social health as you grow older: The Mind Matters Stimulating your brain regularly is a good way to prevent forgetfulness and

keep your wits sharp. A national study of 3,000 older adults found that after fi ve years, those who did brain training programs improved in cognitive speed, memory and reasoning. This helped with everyday tasks including managing medi-cations, preparing meals and overseeing fi nances. Card games and board games are great ways to challenge your thinking power while connecting with friends and there are many versions you can play by yourself on a computer. Free apps with mind-stimulat-ing games and activities are easily acces-sible on iPads, tablets or smartphones and are specifi cally designed to train memory and attention. Make New Connections Having close relationships and staying socially active are essential to maintaining quality of life. In fact, research shows that social interaction in older adults can re-sult in such health benefi ts as lower blood pressure, reduced risk of depression and potentially reduced risk for cardiovascu-lar problems, some cancers, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s dis-ease. While it’s sometimes diffi cult to get to-gether with loved ones who live far away or have school and work commitments, technology lets people connect instantly through text, voice, photos and video. To

combat loneliness and social isolation, arrange regular Skype calls with family members and set up a group chat with friends to discuss common interests. Get Physical Exercise doesn’t have to mean running a marathon or lifting triple-digit weights. In fact, overexerting yourself may cause ad-ditional health problems. Try yoga, pilates or tai chi to relax and tone your muscles while improving fl exibility and balance. Daily walks around your neighborhood are a good form of physical activity that require minimal investment. If you’re concerned about exercising alone, consider getting an automatic fall detection alert system so you can feel more confi dent. Companies such as Bay Alarm Medical offer medical alert devices that instantly call emergency services with the touch of a button in case of a fall, diz-ziness or other accidents. Aging is a natural life process and taking proactive measures to be physically, men-tally and emotionally sound can ease the process. During Healthy Aging Month—and all year long—taking the small steps, literally, can go a long way in improving your health and overall well-being.

Living with TechnologyThe construction is finished, the walls are painted and curtains are hung.But wait ... What’s that interruptingyour perfect aesthetic? Today’s hightech homes come with plenty of con -venience, but all those gadgets andgizmos can botch your sleek design.

The thought of devices such asductless air-conditioning units on the walls might be intimidating, butremem ber that microwaves, flat screensand thermostats were all once unfamil -iar elements of the home landscape and today most homeowners barelynotice them.

Fortunately, many of these tech deviceshave been created with aesthetics inmind. For example, MitsubishiElectric’s systems are available in awide range of options to blend into the look and feel of your old home –ducted, ceiling-recessed and evencabinet-concealed floor-standing units.

Technology also lends a new range of sounds to the household. Look fordevices that keep operations whisper-quiet for minimal distractions.

Lightly colored cabinets and countertops will make a small kitchen space feel larger, according to Nicole Curtis, star of HGTV’s “Rehab Addict .”

FAMILY FEATURES

Not every home renovation is a complete do-over. In fact,some projects are more about preserving the characterand charm of the original structure than making every -thing shiny and new.

A self-taught home rehabber, licensed real estate agent anddesigner, Nicole Curtis, star of HGTV’s “Rehab Addict,” hasmade an art of introducing the comforts and conveniences ofmodern living while restoring homes to their former glory.

Whether you’re giving new life to a historic treasure or simplysprucing up a more modern home, there are many ways to retainfeatures that keep the integrity of the original design intact whilekeeping your renovation budget under control.

FlooringUpdating tired, worn flooring is an important way to make a room feel fresh and inviting. Remember that much like fashion trends come and go, so dopopular styles for home decor. The dingy carpet you can’t wait to tear out mayactually be covering a hidden gem – original hardwood floors.

Many homeowners rush to rip out old flooring at the first sign of damage,Curtis said. Her advice: approach your renovation with a “what can I save”rather than a “what can I lose” mentality. Damaged sections of wood flooringcan be patched using reclaimed wood from other parts of the house or even theattic. A good sanding and a fresh coat of stain can leave you with a beautifullyimperfect surface filled with character that simply can’t be bought.

Heating and Cooling SystemsAdding a temperature control system to a home or considering how to integratean addition into an existing system can be a daunting proposition. In those cases,not only is a ductless system one of the easiest options for improved home comfort,it also preserves the existing structure and architectural integrity of a home.

“No ductwork makes my life so much easier,” Curtis said. “There’s less timeand money spent on finding ductwork space and installing the systems, so we no longer have to sacrifice design.”

Installing a ductless system, such as those offered by Mitsubishi ElectricCool ing & Heating, is a simple solution for eliminating window units and base -board heaters that detract from the beauty and architectural essence of yourhome. There’s no need to tear through or lower ceilings to make space for ductsand no messy demolition is required.

The complete line of energy-efficient ductless systems from MitsubishiElectric provides individual temperature control for specific temperatures ineach room, installation flexibility and quiet operation – all features that are not available with traditional central systems or window units.

Kitchen and BathTwo rooms that see the greatest attention in home makeovers are the kitchen and bath, and they’re also commonly the most expensive. In some cases,updates are truly necessary to keep pace with matters like modern plumbing.But before you make plans to gut a room, consider how you might repurpose the existing contents to fit your needs.

In the kitchen, you may be surprised by how sanding and staining or paintingthe existing cabinetry transforms the space. Remember that lightly coloredcabinets and countertops will make a small kitchen space feel larger, and youcan bring pops of color into the room with the backsplash and decor.

Especially if you’re rehabbing an older home, you may find a bath without ashower. In most cases, it’s actually fairly simple to convert a claw-foot tub withsome plumbing improvements and the addition of a shower curtain. Tired tileand grout may simply need a thorough cleaning or you may be able to add paintfor a fresh look.

Approaching your renovation with a mindset of preserving the original elementsas much as you can lets you save money while creating a home with a uniqueblend of the past and your own modern touches.

If a ductless heating and cooling system is the right solution for your home renovation project, start shopping with these points in mind:

Sustainability: A system that is ENERGY STAR®

certified may qualify for local, state and federaltax credits or utility rebates. Shop for systemsthat operate with environmentally friendlyrefrigerant and recyclable components.

Energy efficiency: Save on energy bills withmodels that readily adjust to temperature fluc -tuations. Mitsubishi Electric systems use a finelytuned INVERTER-driven compressor for up to40 percent more energy efficiency than conven -tional central air systems and window units.

Air quality: Eliminating ductwork alone helpsimprove air quality. Add a ductless system that gives extra attention to air quality with a specialized filtration system and you cansignificantly reduce allergens, viruses andbacteria in the air.
