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

““Supreme DepartureSupreme Departure”” -by Bob Perry

The departure of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia from the earthly plane will prove to be a most timely one. A man of faith, family and the law. His legacy will prove to be one, if not the most, infl uen-tial justice of the Twentieth Century. He set himself apart from the rest by focusing upon the actual text and the original un-derstanding (originalism) of the Constitu-tion. Justice Scalia seemed most in touch with the founders and their intent and vi-sion for their creation. Justice Scalia was a traditionalist and considered a ‘rule as a rule’ which provided him with a position that required more than progressive argu-ments to incline him to change any rule that was in place. Scalia uniquely was able to separate his personal preferences from his conclu-sions thus resisting temptation to mitigate those conclusions. As a protector of con-servative values he may well have been the last to protect our exceptional country from unrest that has been gathering with time. The very balance of the Supreme Court between conservatism and progres-sive liberalism may change as a result of the justice that replaces Scalia. The nega-tive situation that has been created is that if a decision comes down as a tie (say 4 - 4) the lower court decision stands with no defi nitive stand taken by the Court. This could be confusing if there are two or more confl icting lower court decisions pertaining to the same challenge. There are a number of very critical is-sues the Court is considering at this time including: Executive Action on Immi-gration by President Obama; Affi rmative

Action(Fisher vs. University of Texas at Austin); Public union dues (Friedrich vs. California Teachers Association); Abor-tion (Whole Women’s Health vs. Cole); Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) (Zubik vs. Burwell). If in the case Scalia is re-placed with a liberal judge, cases which progressives desire to be reversed will likely include a Second Amendment chal-lenge. If such a challenge results in a de-nial of the right to bear arms for protection there will be unrest in this country like never before. Question is who will POTUS (President Of The United States) nominate to replace Justice Scalia. As for any opposition to a nomination it would be wise of objectors to simply say “Show us what you got” and deal with the nominee. The absence of POTUS at Antonin’s funeral will serve as a sign of disrespect and the only excuse possible would be that Antonin will not be present at Obama’s fu-neral. As for the circumstances surrounding Antonin Scalia’s death there will remain unanswered questions due to the unortho-dox handling of his remains. The American Public deserved knowl-edge that would have removed any and all doubt that there was any foul play in his death. A simple toxicology screening prior to the embalming would have elimi-nated most of the unanswered questions. An autopsy would have answered the question if there was oxygen deprivation in his lungs. Conspiracy theorist will spin possibilities for a long time.

This week, Mary DePalma covered the “Heart Healthy” health fair held at the Bradford Family YMCA, February 18th and came back with an issue full of pictures and captioned explanations which should give our readers a fairly good idea of just what went on during the event. In all, free screenings includ-ed Blood Pressure/Pulse Oximeter; BMI/body fat; Cardiovascular Risk Assess-ment; Foot Care and Bone Density; EKG; and Venous Ultrasound Screening. And the Bradford Dental Center was on hand to point out the relationship between oral health and heart disease. But that wasn’t all. Dr. Herrmann, MD, PhD, FACC, FASE of Medicor gave an interesting and informative lecture entitled “Risk Factors for Heart Disease,” in which he discussed modifi able risk factors. Here he referred to diet, weight, and exercising. He em-phasized that modifying total cholesterol using drugs was not enough-that a dietary approach was necessary to reduce lipids in all forms. Using available information and services the doctor announced that he was recently able to lose 112 pounds, both reducing his risk of hearty disease and showing that he practices what he preach-es. Sponsoring the fair were the Bradford Area YMCA, Bradford Regional Medi-cal Center, HAMOT-UPMC of Erie PA, and Medicor Associates of Bradford and Erie……..Remember to attend the ben-efi t Craft and Vendor Show being held for Michele Distrola this weekend, Feb-ruary 27th at the Asbury United Method-ist Church at 385 East Main Street, Brad-ford. A nurse by profession, Michele’s vascular system is being compromised by diabetes, her kidneys are failing and she is on a regular regimen of dialysis. And this, including her time away from work, costs a $bundle$ more than she has……..The talk around Bradford still refl ects the strong feelings that people have about a Mayor and Council that would saddle them with a rainwater tax. Somehow they have intuited that there are right and wrong ways to raise money to pay for re-pair and replacement of our storm sewer infrastructure. While there have been vari-ous ideas as to how such money should be raised to do the work, all seem to agree that a rainwater tax is not the way for our city leadership to take us. While it looks like the fi nal execution of the proposed rain tax is about to take place with little that local citizens or businesses large and small can do about it, perhaps it’s not too late for council to raise the money through sales of Municipal Bonds. This wouldn’t give them extra money for another round of pay and benefi t raises, but it would cer-tainly raise enough to do the job.

Sharing Money Problems With Kids Kids are surprisingly resilient in the face of a crisis. But even so, serious family money troubles can potentially affect a young person’s home life, edu-cation and outlook on money manage-ment down the road. While my wife and I don’t have kids, children under the age of 10 who are particularly mature – and particularly observant – often can immediately pick up on a parent’s stress over money or other issues. How can you be honest about your fi nances with a child under the age of 18 without spreading confusion or stress? The American Psychological Association points out (http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/children-economy.aspx) that kids can often deal with a cri-sis fairly well but most aren’t yet keen-ly aware of tension in the household. When sharing money problems with your kids, here are a few ideas from the APA and other resources you can use: • Tell the truth, but watch how you tell it. You want to spare your child from hardship and worry, but it’s important not to say things are great when they’re clearly not. Try to explain in brief but truthful detail about what’s happen-ing and leave time for questions. Any child, no matter how sophisticated, can become worried if his or her par-ents reveal extreme fear about money concerns. Keep in mind there’s a great opportunity in these conversations to understand your child’s thoughts and attitudes. Make it a kind, understanding conversation, and listen for clues. • Keep the discussion age-appro-priate. Teens may be more aware of general fi nancial circumstances be-cause they can spot different behavior at home or because their friends’ par-ents might be going through similar circumstances. However, younger kids generally have less knowledge and ex-perience to process what’s going on. Tell kids what they need to know, but don’t overload them with information. • Set an example. It may be diffi -cult, but demonstrate grace under pres-sure. Be calm and reasoned. If you are looking for work, discuss that with your children and even share what that pro-cess is like. Remember, kids learn by example. If they see their parents deal-ing sensibly with adversity no matter how long it takes to right the ship, that’s a very important lesson. Communicate behaviors that they will need to learn if they’re going to successfully deal with money problems as adults. • Introduce or reinforce money les-sons. Whatever the problem, reinforce

smart spending and savings behavior no matter what the child’s age. Howev-er old they are, (http://www.practical-moneyskills.com/EducateKids/) kids should get regular lessons in the rela-tionship between money and the things in their life. • Make it educational. Commu-nicate behaviors that kids will need to successfully manage money in the fu-ture. Whatever the problem, reinforce smart spending and saving behavior no matter what the child’s age. Teach-ing kids about money can be fun by introducing educational games. The Practical Money Skills website offers a collection of games (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/games/) kids can play to learn how to save money. Talk to them about important fi nancial concepts such as budgeting – and bring them to life using real-life examples like planning an affordable family va-cation or outing. • Introduce the emergency fund. One of the essential building blocks of personal fi nance, the emergency fund exists to protect savings and keep bor-rowing to a minimum. Older children might embrace the value of an emer-gency fund as a way to offset the fi nan-cial loss of a lost bike or smartphone or some other personal item. For adults, the general rule of thumb on emergen-cy funds is to have at least three to six months of savings on hand in case of a lost job or expensive repair. The key is to talk with the teen about the parallel

by - Nathaniel Sillinfi nancial risks in their lives that might benefi t from the existence of emergen-cy savings. • Focus on things more important than… things. Parents can use a tough fi nancial stretch to focus on the posi-tive, such as time spent enjoying fam-ily, friends and pets, which doesn’t cost much at all. Good health and healthy behaviors are essential elements of cor-recting problems, overcoming tough times and living a full life. In short, use this moment in time to help your child put money in the proper perspective. Bottom line: A money crisis can tru-ly test the strength of a family. Should you fi nd yourself in a fi nancial bind, use it to teach your kids some very im-portant money lessons.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Millions of Americans suf-fer from chronic eye conditions caused by parasites living on their eyelids. But a new hygiene spray helps control the conditions that make it possible for those nasty bugs to survive, bringing relief to countless pa-tients whose eyes are red and painfully dry. Tiny parasites called demodex mites are a huge problem in America. The para-sites burrow into the skin of the eyelids, causing infl ammation and plugging glands in the eye that help keep the tear fi lm in-tact. The result: red, infl amed and dry eyes, often with a crusty buildup of debris. The parasite infestation also often attracts oth-er microbes, such as bacteria, that add to the infl ammation and discomfort. For many years, this problem was al-most impossible to solve. Lid scrubs con-taining tea tree oil can knock back the par-asites, but the amounts needed to control the mites usually irritate the eyes. Now, however, eye doctors have a new weapon. It’s an eyelid hygiene prod-uct called Avenova from NovaBay Phar-maceuticals. Avenova contains Neutrox, pure hypochlorous acid. In your body, hy-pochlorous acid is produced in your white blood cells and kills microorganisms. In laboratory studies, Neutrox demonstrates this same activity. Avenova, applied to skin of the eyelids, has helped patients with demodex infestations and at the same time is nonirritating and safe for chronic use. This is important, because demodex infestations can be managed but never cured. “Avenova with Neutrox is fi nally bringing relief to patients who have been suffering for years,” says Kathryn Najafi -Tagol, M.D., head of the Eye Institute of Marin in California. It’s also remarkably easy to use—just spray it on a cotton pad and wipe the eyelids. As Richard L. Lindstrom, M.D., found-er and attending surgeon of Minnesota Eye Consultants, concludes, “Avenova represents a major advance in eye care.” To learn more, visit www.Aven-ova.com, call (800) 890-0329 or see the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJoIOTvFGCI.

American Institute for Cancer ResearchAmerican Institute for Cancer Research Q: What exactly is a plant-based diet? I hear about this for cancer prevention but am confused. A: : In general, when you hear the phrase plant-based diet it means that the majority of what you eat comes from plant foods - vegetables, fruits, grain products, beans, nuts and seeds. Some people or groups use the phrase to mean a vegetarian diet (with no meat or poultry), or even a vegan diet (with no animal products at all). A plant-based diet - whether or not it’s vegetarian - is at the heart of nutrition recommendations to promote overall health and reduce cancer risk. This allows us to get plenty of the plant foods that supply dietary fi ber and nutrients and phytochemicals, while more easily managing our weight as we fi ll up on foods that are generally relatively low in in calo-ries. If someone chooses to include meat, fi sh or dairy products, these foods play a sup-porting, rather than starring, role. Although highly processed foods like chips, crackers and pastries may technically be plant-based, these foods won’t provide the health ben-efi ts from whole and minimally processed foods and can lead to eating more calories than you need. So, choose a balanced, predominantly whole-foods, plant-based diet to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. The New American Plate from the American Institute for Cancer Research is a good model that can help you implement a plant-based diet to lower risk for many cancers. In this model, at least two-thirds of your plate is fi lled with plant foods like vegetables, whole grains, beans, and fruit. The rest of your plate, one-third or less can contains animal foods like fi sh, poultry, meat or dairy products. This is a fl exible way to enjoy more colorful plant foods, yet incorporate more modest amounts of meat and dairy. For help working towards a plant-based diet, sign up for the New American Plate Challenge (napchallenge.org), a free 12-week weight loss program focusing on eating smart and moving more.

Save Time With These Smart Cleaning Shortcuts

(NAPSI)—These clever cleaning short-cuts can help you have both a sparkling clean house—and more time for yourself and your family. Nurture Neglected Areas: Vents, walls and baseboards are often forgotten nooks and crannies where dust and grime collect. Use a vacuum extension hose to remove dust from vents and fans. Then wipe down baseboards with a damp cloth and spot clean walls. Let It Go: Toys and clothing are typical clutter culprits. Focus on these and donate or ditch anything unused, outdated or out-grown. Trouble parting? Remind yourself that you’ll never have to clean these items again. Shades of Success: Open and close

shades and blinds frequently to shake off the dust that can accumulate on the fabric. Tote Your Tools: Keep all your clean-ing supplies together in a bucket or plastic box on wheels. That way, you won’t have to keep going back for another bottle, rag, bag or brush. Deal With Dust: When you dust, work top to bottom and back to front so the dirt falls onto the fl oor. Clean the fl oor last. Track Down Stains: Freshen fl ooring and furniture that have fallen to spots and spills. Opt for a multisurface stain remov-er such as Motsenbocker’s Lift Off that’s safe to use on carpets, upholstery and hard surfaces. Spray soiled areas, then blot dry. Let The Sunshine In: Clean windows wiping side to side and avoid circular mo-tions that create a static charge and attract dust to the surface. Choose a cleaning formula developed specifi cally for glass, such as Invisible Glass, that’s free of streak-causing soaps, scents and dyes.

(NAPSI)—According to the American Kennel Club, some half a million pets are affected by house fi res each year—but there are steps you can take so yours aren’t among them. The Problem: Pets are often kept inside the house while their people are away. Un-fortunately, if a fi re starts or there’s a gas leak and the smoke alarm sounds, pets are trapped as they can’t call for help. Some Answers: This risk can be re-duced two ways. First, it’s a bright idea to take steps to keep fi res from starting and spreading. Here are a few hints on how: • Install smoke detectors, at least one on each fl oor and near bedrooms. Check the batteries monthly and change them at least once a year. • Keep portable and space heaters at least three feet from anything that may burn. Never leave heaters on when you leave home or go to sleep. Children and pets should always be kept away from them. • Never smoke in bed or when you’re sleepy. • Keep cooking areas clear of combusti-bles and wear short or tight-fi tting sleeves when you cook. • Keep pot handles turned inward so they don’t overhang the stove. • If grease catches fi re, carefully slide a lid over the pan and smother the fl ames, then turn off the burner. • Lock matches and lighters away where kids can’t reach them. • Don’t leave lit candles unattended. • If an appliance smokes or has an un-usual smell, unplug it immediately and have it fi xed before you use it again. • Replace frayed or cracked electrical cords and don’t overload extension cords. They should not be run under rugs. • Never tamper with the fuse box or use an improper-size fuse. Even the best precautions can’t prevent all house fi res. The second key to saving dogs and cats from fi res is for pet own-ers to fi nd out about the threat and call for help or get home as quickly as possible. That’s where a simple but vital electri-cal device can come in. Once installed, the Leeo Smart Alert—which doubles as a sleek, modern LED night-light and comes in a variety of colors—continuously lis-tens for your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If they sound, the Leeo Smart Alert immediately calls and texts you so you can take quick action to protect your pets and your home. The Smart Alert is easy to set up using the free Leeo smartphone app for iOS and Android. No tools or special installation is required—simply plug it in and set up

New Comfort For Older HomesNew Comfort For Older Homes (NAPSI)—The charm of an older home is an attractive selling feature. Less ap-pealing are the ineffi ciencies of an older heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system or the absence of a cool-ing system. Updating to an HVAC system improves comfort and often makes good economic sense, but it requires careful planning. Asking the right questions and enlisting the help of a qualifi ed HVAC contractor can make it possible to create a comfortable, effi cient environment with-out spoiling the character of these classic structures. Step 1: Determine how much equip-ment you need Ask your HVAC contractor to con-duct a “Manual J” load calculation to de-termine your home’s unique heating and cooling needs. This calculation analyzes everything that affects air temperature in your home—things like windows, orien-tation to the sun, and duct leakage. Using this calculation, your contractor can rec-ommend the right-size equipment for your home. Step 2: Determine the location of the unit and inspect ductwork Ask your contractor where the new equipment will be located and whether your ductwork is properly sealed, insu-lated and sized for the equipment. Dust

and debris in the ductwork can reduce the HVAC system’s effi ciency and damage its components, so have the ductwork in-spected before shopping for a new system. Your contractor should also inspect the home’s electrical system to be sure it pro-vides enough power to handle a new, up-graded HVAC system. Step 3: Discuss your effi ciency and “stage” options Whether shopping for a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, always check

the effi ciency of the unit you are consider-ing. The effi ciency of a fuel-burning fur-nace is expressed as the annual fuel utiliza-tion effi ciency (AFUE). Air-conditioning systems are rated according to their sea-sonal energy effi ciency ratio (SEER) and heat pump effi ciency is expressed as the unit’s heating seasonal performance fac-tor (HSPF). Generally speaking, a higher AFUE, SEER or HSPF means increased effi ciency and reduced operating expens-es. If you’re in the market for a new fur-nace, choose from a single-stage, two-stage or modulating furnace. Single-stage furnaces operate at full capacity all the time. Two-stage furnaces have two sepa-rate heating settings—a lower setting that is used when the furnace turns on and runs during milder winter days and a higher stage for colder conditions. Modulating furnaces, such as the York® Affi nity™ Series gas furnaces, can run at any speed within a set range, allowing them to choose the precise speed that’s most effi cient for the given heating demand and offering the most energy-effi cient heating solution. Also, consider installing a programma-ble thermostat to control your new HVAC system. These thermostats offer accurate, reliable, energy-saving performance, and in some cases they include Wi-Fi® sup-port to work with mobile devices to easily program a system remotely. Step 4: Understand your warranty Finally, be sure to check the warranty coverage offered by the equipment manu-facturer. Your contractor should be very clear about what’s covered. Also, ask whether an extended warranty is available and what advantages it offers. To learn more about energy-effi cient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) products, visit www.york.com, www.youtube.com/yorkhomecomfort and @YorkHVAC on Twitter or call (877) 874-7378.

Movie Night: The Ultimate Evening InMovie Night: The Ultimate Evening In (NAPSI)—Friday nights are great for an evening in and even better with a movie. Whether it’s with family, friends or solo, there are a few essentials that will turn regular old movie night into the ultimate movie night.

The right movie It’s all about the movie. Figure out ahead of time who’s going to be there and choose a movie based on your au-dience.

• Family night-animation

• Girl’s night-a chick fl ick

• Couple’s night-a romcom

• Guy’s night-a thriller

The right ambience

Comfort is key. Be sure to have plen-ty of throw pillows and blankets. Dim the lights as low as possible and use a few votive candles to create the mood.

The right menu Food and drink are all-important. Why watch a movie without good things to eat? Be sure to select a menu that allows you to prepare everything in advance so all you have to do is pop things in the oven. If you’re watching an Italian-themed movie, consider an Italian menu. Here are a few quick and delicious ideas: • Have a selection of wine on hand and beer on ice and don’t forget some-thing nonalcoholic. • Pizza is ideal and it pairs perfectly with beer and wine. Forget about order-ing in—it’s always cold and who wants the pizza guy showing up in the mid-dle of your movie? Plan ahead, make it yourself and serve it with a simple salad—it’s easy (see recipe). • Something to nosh on while the piz-za is in the oven? Try mixing 4 ounces of roasted salted almonds or roasted salted cashews with 1 (6-oz.) can of Lindsay Naturals Green Ripe Olives, drained with one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Toss and enjoy. • What’s a movie without popcorn, either store-bought or microwaved—it doesn’t matter as long as you have it. • Top it all off with something sweet-cookies, ice cream or cupcakes are sure to satisfy every sweet tooth.

Pizza with Green Olives, Caramelized Leeks, Goat Cheese

and Arugula

At a Glance:

Prep Time: 40 minutes, plus time for dough to refrigerate overnight and to

rise

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons warm water (105 to 115° F)½ teaspoon active dry yeast1 1/3cups all-purpose fl our, plus more for the work surface1/3 cup whole wheat fl our½ cup cool water (65° F to 70° F)½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste4 tablespoons butter2 pounds leeks, dark green parts trimmed, white and light green parts cut into ½-inch slices1½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (optional)Black pepper, to taste6 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese¾ cup halved Lindsay® Naturals Cali-fornia Green Ripe Olives2 cups baby arugula leaves (about 1 ounce loosely packed)Directions: Combine warm water and yeast in large bowl of stand mixer fi tted with dough hook; let stand until yeast dis-solves, about 15 minutes (mixture might not be foamy). Add fl ours, cool water and salt; mix on medium-low 4 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then mix on medium-low un-til dough is smooth, elastic and slightly sticky, about 3 minutes.

Lightly oil medium bowl. Transfer dough to prepared bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature 30 min-utes. Refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days. Transfer dough to countertop and let rise, covered, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, in large skillet over me-dium heat, melt butter. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until start-ing to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to very low and cook, stirring occa-sionally, until leeks are golden in spots and very tender, about 30 minutes. Add thyme and salt and pepper to taste; set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 500° F, ideally with pizza stone. On lightly fl oured surface, roll or stretch dough into a 12- to 14-inch round. Transfer to pizza pan or fl our-dusted pizza paddle; top with leek mixture, cheese and olives. Transfer to oven and bake until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Scatter arugula over pizza, cut into wedges and serve.

Try this pizza with caramelized on-ions instead of leeks and with other types of cheese-feta, mozzarella or Par-mesan would be delicious.
