Pond And Lake Management

Workshop Offered Extension Water Specialists, Bryan Swistock, from Penn State University and local Penn State Extension Educator, Jim Clark, will present a workshop on pond and lake management in Cameron County on Thursday, September 5th, 2013, at the Miglicio Property on Rich Valley Road in Emporium, PA. The workshop is FREE but participants must pre-register with Jim Clark at 814-887-5613 or [email protected]. The workshop will run from 6 to 8 PM in the evening. Clark and Swistock manage an on line pond management class for Penn State Ex-tension and have taught over 200 Pennsyl-vania pond owners. The ponds at the work-shop site will be used to talk about pond management issues, like how to evaluate and manage fi sh populations and chemi-cal and non-chemical control approaches to control aquatic plants and algae. Thirty one pond owners in the Sinnemahoning Watershed had there pond water analyzed through the Penn State Water Lab and the combined results will be shared. The workshop and pond testing project were paid for by a grant from Headwaters RC&D and administered by the Cameron County Conservation District. Addition-al questions about the workshop can be emailed to Clark at [email protected]. Penn State is committed to affi rmative action, equal opportunity, and the diver-sity of its workforce.

Bradford Journal PhotoEvergreen Elm Biodynamic Gardeners swept the McKean County Fair’s vegetable entries with 30 out of 30 ribbons: 23 fi rst place blue, 5 second place red, and 2 fourth place yellow. Their master gardener, L.A. Rotheraine said, “The secret to our success this year was teamwork, a lot of laughter, and everyone performing in harmony with the natural earthly and heavenly forces that permeate the Elm Street Garden.” Assem-bled in their city garden area, from left to right are Jeff Van Scoter, L.A. Rotheraine (behind), Karie Johnston, Patty Price, Randy Johnson, Robert Tubbs, Brandi Buck, and Lisa Williams. While many local gardeners have had varying success with their pro-duce over the years, L.A. Rotheraine and the Evergreen Elm Gardeners have had blue ribbon prize winning crops every year for the last 23 or so years, regardless of the cli-mactic conditions. Rotheraine suggests that this is probably due to, “ the use of ‘open pollinated’ seeds, and that no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in the garden. In addition, our success can also be attributed to Evergreen Elm’s unique organic hill-ing system.” (See photos in gallery.)

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

Guest Columnist

“Pick And Choose” -by Bob Perry Unfortunately the Justice Depart and the Obama Administration has been, and continues to practice, a ‘Pick and Choose’ as a mode of operation. The Justice Department under the so-called leadership of Eric Holder is picking and choosing what laws it decides it wants to enforce. Having taken the oath to en-force the laws of this nation, Holder is in violation of that oath and Congress needs to address the issue and seek a remedy. President Obama is part and party to the issue since he can remove Eric Holder if he was perceived to be derelict in his duties. Having not re-moved Holder, Obama is in lock step and more likely than not advising him what to do. Obama is the leader of the ’Pick and Choose’ philosophy with his picking to ‘lead from behind’ in the af-fairs of the world. Currently the Syr-ian Civil War has progressed to what appears the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, which was most likely preventable had leadership been shown by the President. The attitude of waiting and seeing what transpires is proving to be a major mistake. To lead in issues like this our President should have been engaged from the onset with Bashar al-Assad on resolving the con-fl ict, which has progressed to genocide on a large scale. If I were President I would have been communicating on a daily basis from the get-go to live up to the promises he made in 2000 when he was appointed President by the rubber-stamp Parlia-ment. After the Arab Spring that started in early 2011 Assad made some move

toward change but they have been too little and too late. Surely our leader could have had a major effect, but our leader has chosen not to be directly in-volved. Will Obama choose to not take appropriate action if proof of the use of chemical weapons is verifi ed? Another prime example of laws not to enforce has been the immigration laws. National political leaders in both major parties have not had the will to either enforce the current laws or to create immigration reform that resolves the ongoing problem. Obama pledged (guaranteed) that in the fi rst year of his fi rst term an immi-gration bill that he would fully support. Here we are in the fi rst year of his sec-ond term and nothing has been achieved. Choosing not to live up to a promise of a guarantee. A failure of leadership of the fi rst order. As you might remem-ber I have previously noted more than once that the major immigration issue we have, could have been avoided had the 1986 Immigration Reform Act in-cluded verbiage that any illegal immi-grant, not protected by asylum, would ‘forever forfeit’ the right to ever apply for citizenship. Surely this needs to be included in any immigration bill that is proposed and supported. Politicians have and will continue to ‘Pick and Choose’ to not include such verbiage. Elections have consequences, so when in the voting booth next time, ‘Pick and Choose’ candidates that are leaders. Not either followers or organ-izers like Obama.

One photo in this issue concerns itself with the already famous award winning Evergreen Elm Gardeners and their blue ribbon victories, once again, during this year’s McKean County Fair. Most of the others give coverage to the 34th Annu-al Crook Farm Country Fair as we walked around the Crook Farm fairgrounds dur-ing the afternoons of August 24th and 25th and came away with photographs of a broad spectrum of people from various surround areas enjoying themselves at this well established well known event. In ad-dition, we managed to peek in on vendors and craftsmen, entertainers and volun-teers who, being the core of the country fair, make it possible. While many photos are displayed in the hard copy, others are found only on a full page collage in the associated online edition. As always how-ever, all photos taken can be found in our gallery…….In addition to the regular photos, we managed to take one video of the Enchanted Mountain Line Danc-ers, August 25th as they performed one of their routines on the main stage. This video can be found in our photo gallery along with all other photos……We’d like to thank our sponsors for this week’s special acknowledgement to the Brad-ford Area Public Library on its 112th Anniversary found on page twelve: Cin-dy’s Beauty Salon at 45 Melvin Avenue, Cavallaro’s Custom Picture Framing at 12 Kennedy Street, John Williams European Pastry at 20 Mechanic Street, and Bottorf Embroidery and Screen Printing at 217 W. Washington Street. Our library has be-come a multipurpose center that offers the best in educational, informational and lei-sure resources, local electronic and print library services; in state, interstate, in li-brary, inter library and World Wide Web Library Support Services; as well as Chil-dren’s Programs, Public Meeting Rooms, Special Displays and Collections……..As strip mining, timber, oil and gas operations look to expand in Pennsyl-vania the push is on by certain legisla-tors partial to those interests, in both our State House and Senate to remove or limit controls by environmentalist driven state operations that tend to complicate such in-dustrial expansion. While these legislators claim that they only want better oversight of overzealous environmentalist driven impediments to industry, or the creation of laws that would balance the protection of endangered species and government regulation, at least one of them, Martin Causer, has been quoted saying, “We can’t run jobs and business out of the state just because species are threatened with ex-tinction”. Our opinion is that this whole scenario would be comical, in a slap stick sort of way, if it weren’t so frightening.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESHonoring Grandparents Who Raise Their Grandkids

-by Jason Alderman In 1978, Congress passed legislation proclaiming the fi rst Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. Presi-dents since Jimmy Carter have issued proclamations urging citizens to, in the words of President Barack Obama, “honor those who have helped shape the character of our nation, and thank these role models for their immeasurable acts of love, care and understanding.” At a stage in life when many people are already comfortably retired, some 2.7 mil-lion grandparents have taken on the respon-sibility of providing basic needs for their grandchildren, according to data compiled by Generations United. An alarming 21 percent of these vital caregivers live be-low the poverty line, even though 60 per-cent are still in the workforce. All told, an estimated 7.8 million chil-dren under 18 live in households headed by grandparents or other relatives, includ-ing those whose parents are absent due to death, substance abuse, military deploy-ment or other reasons. Ironically, even though many of these “grandfamilies” barely scrape by, they save taxpayers more than $6.5 billion each year by keeping children out of the fos-ter care system. So it only seems fair that many federal, state and local aid programs are available to help these guardian angels provide fi nancial and emotional safety nets for their grandchildren. Among the many diffi culties these families sometimes face: • If you become your grandchild’s foster parent, you’re responsible for day-to-day decisions and care, although the state retains legal custody and pays for the child’s care. • Unless you establish some form of legal relationship (custody, guardianship or adoption), the parent may be able to take your grandchild from your home at any time. • In some states, it’s diffi cult to en-roll the child in school or get medical care without some form of legal relationship. • Most senior-only housing complex-es don’t allow child residents – which is legal – so some grandfamilies are forced to move. However, grandfamilies may be eligi-ble for several federal tax credits: • A Child Tax Credit of up to $1,000 for each qualifi ed grandchild, provided they lived with you for more than half the fi ling year and are under 17 at year’s end. • If you qualify for the Earned In-come Tax Credit, you may be eligible for an additional amount for grandchildren you support. • A Child and Dependent Care Credit

for childcare expenses incurred so you can work or seek employment. • If you adopt your grandchildren, you may be eligible for a nonrefundable Federal Adoption Credit of up to $12,970 per child. In addition, depending on your income and the health/disability status of your grandchildren, you may also be eligible for benefi ts from Medicaid, your state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro-gram and numerous other federal, state and local aid programs. Helpful resources for grandfamilies in-clude: • Grandparents Raising Grandchil-dren, a government-sponsored site at. www.usa.gov, that provides links to vari-ous subject-matter experts. • AARP’s comprehensive Grand-

Families Guide (at www.aarp.org). • Benefi ts QuickLINK, an AARP tool to fi nd out whether you or your grandchil-dren qualify for 15 different public ben-efi ts. • GrandFacts, a searchable database at www.aarp.org, where you can locate key state and local resources, foster care policies and services, public benefi ts, fi -nancial and education assistance, and rel-evant state laws. • Generations United, whose “Grand-families” website highlights challenges often faced by these households (www.gu.org/OURWORK/Grandfamilies.aspx).Do something to honor your own grand-parents this Grandparents Day. And if you know others who are raising their grand-kids, make sure they know about the many available resources.

Business Owners Finding Free Time In The “Cloud” (NAPSI)—Innovative technology is helping a growing number of small-busi-ness owners fi nally enjoy some vacation time. That’s the word from experts who say affordable cloud-based systems are giv-ing business owners and offi ce managers a way to stay in control of their company’s operations wherever they are. By moving their fi nancial records to an online solution, business owners are able to manage their money, bill their custom-ers, pay their bills and even oversee their employees’ or bookkeeper’s activities from anywhere, even the beach. Plus, online information can be more secure given that it is protected by bank-level security measures rather than scat-tered about multiple offi ces, desks and briefcases. All that’s needed is a smart-phone or any connection to the Internet. To help business owners streamline their operation, René Lacerte, CEO and founder of Bill.com, a leading bill pay-ment, invoicing and cash management on-line solution, offers the following tips: • Abandon the manual method for pay-ables and receivables and switch to a new cloud-based, automated cash fl ow man-agement system such as Bill.com. • Sync your company’s cash fl ow data with your existing accounting software and link it to your bank. This will let you streamline operations so you only need to go to one screen to get all your work done from wherever you might be. • Facilitate customer payments by send-ing automated reminders to customers. This lets you keep your cash fl ow going without wasting time manually sending e-mails or calling.

• Scan all your needed documents to your online solution. That way, you can vacation without bringing any paper-work—and all the data you need will be at your fi ngertips. • Increase your fraud protection when you are out of the offi ce. Don’t worry about checks being lost, stolen or altered when your mail starts stacking up. By us-ing ePayments to both send and receive funds, you never have to worry. • Encourage customers and vendors to go paperless by sending bills and pay-ments electronically through your system. That way, everyone can work more effi -ciently and effectively. You are apt to get fewer calls or e-mails if everyone has easy access to information. • Control access to your company’s cash fl ow data by setting up a cloud-based system that allows only certain employees to view specifi c data and perform preap-proved tasks. This eliminates mistakes and the ability to alter your data. Plus, by moving the functions online now, business owners can enjoy more time away from their desk in any season.

Mealtime - Easy as 1, 2, 3 (Family Features) The days just keep getting busier and busier. Schedules are more hectic and, too often, meals take a backseat to family chaos. Instead of opt-ing for delivery or carry-out, build a rep-ertoire of nutritious, delicious and quick recipes that can be prepared at home for the entire family to enjoy. A salad is a simple mealtime solution for a household on the go. This Beans & Greens Salad takes less than 15 minutes to assemble when you begin with a pan-try staple, a can of READ 3 or 4 Bean Salad, and just four other ingredients. Al-ready seasoned and ready to eat, this salad is chock-full of green beans, wax beans, kidney beans and chickpeas in a tangy, slightly sweet dressing. Toss the bean sal-ad with mixed greens and lemony vinai-grette, then top with crumbled bacon and cheese, if desired. For additional recipes and more information about READ Sal-ads, visit www.readsalads.com. Not only is it easy to make, it’s very versatile whether served as a side salad or a light, meatless main dish. The addition of sliced cooked chicken or beef makes a heartier entree. You’ll feel good about this meal, and you’ll feel even better about your newly acquired spare time.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEStay Summer Healthy

All Year Long (NAPSI)—If you’re like most Ameri-cans, now is the best time to get the body you want. According to a study conducted by Nautilus, Inc. and uSamp, 64 percent of people are unhappy with their bodies and 61 percent work out more in the summer. But you don’t have to lose your summer momentum. See the helpful tips below. Useful Ideas 1. Add a social element and let the world know you’re shaping up. People who post workouts to social networks for positive affi rmation are nearly three times more likely to personally track their fi t-ness programs than those who don’t and that can help you stick to it. According to the study, 87 percent of people who share their workouts to social networks track their personal fi tness progress through journaling, mobile apps or tracking devic-es. 2. Start exercising at home. The study also found that 86 percent of people who own fi tness equipment work out every week and that 45 percent of women enjoy working out at home because they don’t feel embarrassed. Useful Devices Fortunately, there’s a variety of fi t-ness equipment that makes it easier to do. Here’s a look at three popular items: • Bowfl ex® UpperCut™: For chiseled abs, strong shoulders and a defi ned back, all without the use of bulky weights, many fi tness fans turn to the Bowfl ex UpperCut. This portable workout tool uses “Activa-tion, Repetition, Control (ARC) Technol-ogy” to activate up to 30 percent more muscle, so you can do four times as many repetitions and perform moves you could never do alone. • CoreBody Reformer®: You can combine the benefi ts of yoga, Pilates and dance to engage multiple muscle groups all at once with the CoreBody Reformer. The end result can be not only a strong core, but lean and shapely legs, sculpted arms and a sexy, defi ned back. • Bowfl ex® Boost™: A smart activity tracker, the Bowfl ex Boost was designed to keep you moving. Tracking your steps, distance and calories is easier and more affordable thanks to preprogrammed dai-ly goals and easy Bluetooth syncing, and everyday activities such as walking, run-ning and lifting count toward your pro-gress.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: How risky are the compounds called AGEs in cooked meats? A: AGEs (advanced glycation end products) are compounds that seem to increase oxidation and infl ammation in the body; they are linked to heart disease, and may play some role in cancer development. These compounds form when beef, pork, chicken and fi sh are cooked, especially at higher temperatures and with dry heat (roasting, grilling, frying and broiling). However, they also form in other foods and within the body. AGEs form when high-fat foods are heated to high temperatures and in produc-tion of dry-heat processed snack foods (such as crackers, chips and cookies). Animal and limited human research suggests that greater consumption of AGEs raises their level in the body. Although many foods contain these compounds, research suggests that people who eat the major sources – diets high in grilled or roasted meats, fats and highly processed foods – may consume more than double the AGEs of people who eat meals rich in plant foods with smaller amounts of meat, especially prepared by moist heat (in soup or stew, microwaved or poached). It would be premature to make dietary changes solely based on concern about AGEs, but the mostly plant-based diet with meats in only moderate portions (infrequently cooked at high temperatures) and with limited use of highly processed foods is already the advice to reduce risk of cancer and promote overall health. AGEs form within the body during normal metabolism, but in greater amounts in people with high blood sugar and perhaps with obesity. So the bot-tom line is that the basic steps that decrease risk of cancer and heart disease seem to also go a long way to decrease exposure to AGEs. Q: Does someone with high blood triglycerides need to eat less fat? A: Triglycerides are fat, but excess triglycerides in the blood usually come from over-production within the body, not from food itself. Experts now say that high blood triglycerides are a sign of heart disease risk and also of an environment within the body likely to promote risk of diabetes and even some cancers. For people who are overweight, weight loss is usually the key to reducing triglyceride production. Losing even 10 pounds is often enough to make a difference, but it has to be kept off. If you are overweight, eating less fat will help if that strategy reduces your overall calories and leads to weight loss. But sometimes, too much carbohydrate (especially as sweets, soft drinks, large portions of juice and refi ned grains) is what’s behind excess weight and over-production of triglycerides. Too little physical activity is often another part of the problem. Moderate walking 30 to 60 minutes a day can substantially lower blood triglycerides for many people through its effects on body hormones. Too much alcohol can raise triglycerides, so while moderate use may be safe for some people, others may need to avoid alcohol. Genetic disorders, as well as certain diseases and drugs, can also cause high blood triglycerides. People with extreme elevations in blood triglycerides, which is relatively uncommon, may need a very low-fat diet. But for most people with high triglycerides, weight loss, daily moderate exercise and a balanced plant-focused eating pattern are the keys. A registered dietitian can help you sort out the problems and solutions. Ask your physician for a referral, or fi nd one in your area using the website of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

PennDOT, Pa. Insurance Department Urges Vehicle Owners To

Keep Insurance Information Current

Inaccurate Information Could Result in Registration Suspension

(Harrisburg) – PennDOT and the state Insurance Department today urged motor-ists to contact PennDOT if they change their vehicle insurance provider, as vehi-cle owners – not insurance providers – are responsible for reporting new policy in-formation to the department. “People may assume that when they start a new vehicle insurance policy, the new company notifi es us that they’re covered. That is not the case,” PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Safety Administra-tion Kurt Myers said. “We urge our cus-tomers to provide updated insurance in-formation to PennDOT when requested to avoid any penalties, such as registration suspension.” Drivers must purchase auto insurance – or maintain “fi nancial responsibility” – in order to legally drive in Pennsylvania. Auto insurance protects owners against fi -nancial loss in the event of an accident by paying for damages to their own car or to another person’s property. “Though certain coverages are required in an auto policy, there are additional op-tions consumers can choose to customize a policy to fi t their needs and their budg-et,” Executive Deputy Insurance Com-missioner Randy Rohrbaugh said. “Con-sumers need to remember that if you fail to renew your policy, or if your policy is canceled, you could face fi nes, penalties and driving restrictions.” When PennDOT receives notifi cation from an insurance company that an in-dividual’s insurance has been cancelled, PennDOT sends a letter to the individual requesting verifi cation that a new insur-ance policy is in place. By law, if an in-dividual does not respond to the letter providing current insurance information, PennDOT is required to administer a three-month vehicle-registration suspen-sion. If a suspension occurs, the vehicle own-er must surrender the vehicle’s registration plate to PennDOT in order to begin the suspension. The owner will be required to provide current proof of insurance to the department and pay a $50 fee in order to have the vehicle registration restored once the suspension has been served. For more information on insurance requirements, visit www.dmv.state.pa.us and visit the “Vehicle Insurance Informa-tion” section in the motor vehicle infor-mation center.

Creating A Safer Home Environment For Your Children

(NAPSI)—Having small children in your home means appropriate measures need to be taken to ensure they grow up in a safe environment. While childproofi ng different areas of your home such as cabi-nets and electrical sockets, don’t forget to review your window coverings. Access to windows and dangling window covering cords can pose a safety hazard to curious children and even small pets. “Although nothing replaces the watch-ful eye of a loving parent, there are certain steps you can take to reduce the risk of in-jury around windows,” said Tracy Christ-man, window coverings expert and Vice President of Vendor Alliance at Budget Blinds. “Window safety is often over-looked and it’s important for parents to be fully aware of all the potential dangers.” Tracy offers the following useful tips to help parents get started: 1. Arrange furniture away from win-dows. Always set up furniture—such as cribs, chairs and toy chests—away from window areas so that they cannot be used to access window treatment cords. In ad-dition to installing window screens, plac-ing furniture away from the window area also minimizes the risk of the child acci-dentally falling out of an open window. 2. Choose cordless window coverings. The Window Covering Safety Council recommends cordless window treatments in homes where children are present. Shut-ters and roller shades are inherently cord-less and come in a wide variety of playful colors for your children’s rooms. You can also select cordless cellular shades that provide insulation to help keep your kids warm in the winter. 3. Add safety features to existing win-dow covering cords. It’s sometimes easier to add safety features to existing window covering cords than to purchase new treat-ments altogether. Options include breaka-way tassels that are designed to break apart under minimal stress, and cord cleats, which allow you to safely tie cords up and away from your toddler’s reach. A growing trend in the window cover-ings industry is motorization. Motorized window coverings provide convenience since they can be opened and closed us-ing a handheld remote and also increase safety by eliminating the need for cords. Virtually any window covering can be motorized. For more information on window cov-ering safety, visit www. budgetblinds.com/safety or call (866) 590-6341. Budg-et Blinds offers free in-home consulta-tions and its products meet or exceed the American National Standard for Safety of Corded Window Covering Products set forth by the Window Covering Manufac-turers Association.

Preparing For A Conversation About Metastatic Melanoma (NAPSI)—Dealing with a new cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. But talk-ing to your medical team about the disease treatment options available and personal goals may help best address your specifi c case. When Jim Murch went for a chest X-ray, his doctor discovered a mass that turned out to be melanoma, a form of skin cancer in which cells that produce the skin’s pigment grow out of control. Murch was shocked to learn that his cancer had already developed into metastatic mela-noma, the deadliest form of the disease. “When my doctor found the mass, my wife and I were in denial,” Murch said. “But an open discussion with my medical team helped me understand my diagnosis and learn more about the available treat-ment options.” If you or a loved one is faced with a di-agnosis of metastatic melanoma, you may feel overwhelmed with questions about the disease and next steps. It is important to have an open dialogue with your medi-cal team to help get the information you need. Here are some important topics you may want to discuss with your medical team following a metastatic melanoma di-agnosis. 1. Understanding Your Diagnosis Your medical team may talk about melanoma in terms of “stages,” starting at stage 0 and going up to stage IV. The stag-es are determined by how thick the tumor is and whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of your body. For metastatic melanoma, you may have a diagnosis of stage IV, meaning the cancer has spread to one or more distant sites. 2. Choosing Your Treatment Plan Depending on your diagnosis, your medical team may discuss with you poten-tial treatment options for metastatic mela-noma. This may include immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or other treatment ap-proaches. It is important to discuss with your medical team the potential risks and benefi ts of a treatment, based on a prod-uct’s FDA-approved label. 3. Achieving Treatment Goals It is also important to discuss your per-sonal treatment goals with your medical team, as this may help inform treatment decisions. A metastatic melanoma diagnosis can be a diffi cult experience for patients and their loved ones. Fortunately, in recent years, additional therapies have become available to help fi ght the disease. One of these treatment options is Yervoy, also known as ipilimumab. Upon approval by the U.S. FDA in 2011, it became the fi rst treatment for metastatic melanoma to sig-nifi cantly extend survival for patients in a phase III study. Yervoy is approved for the treatment of patients with melanoma that has spread

(metastatic) or cannot be removed through surgery (unresectable), and works through the immune system.ÊYervoy (ipilimum-ab) may not work in all patients and may affect healthy cells, too, which could re-sult in serious side effects in many parts of the body. Some of these side effects may lead to death. A phase III clinical study showed that some patients taking Yervoy lived much longer than patients who did not receive it. People treated with Yervoy lived a median of 10 months, compared to a median of six months for those who were treated with an experimental drug alone. As follow-up of these patients contin-ued, it was estimated that 46 percent of patients taking Yervoy alone were alive at one year and 24 percent were alive at two years. By comparison, 25 percent of pa-tients taking the experimental drug alone were alive at one year and 14 percent at two years. Of the 676 patients in this trial, 137 pa-tients (20 percent) received Yervoy alone, 136 patients (20 percent) received another experimental drug alone, and 403 patients (60 percent) received both treatments. In the trial, patients were previously treat-ed with one or more of the following: aldesleukin, dacarbazine, temozolomide, fotemustine, or carboplatin. The primary goal was to measure how long patients lived with Yervoy in combination with the experimental drug compared to the exper-imental drug alone. Over the course of the study, treatment with Yervoy decreased the risk of death by about one-third com-pared to patients who received the experi-mental drug. Individual results will vary. The serious side effects of Yervoy (ip-ilimumab) may include: infl ammation of the intestines (colitis) that can cause tears or holes (perforation) in the intestines; in-fl ammation of the liver (hepatitis) that can lead to liver failure; infl ammation of the skin that can lead to severe skin reaction (toxic epidermal necrolysis); infl amma-tion of the nerves that can lead to paraly-

sis; infl ammation of hormone glands (es-pecially the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands) that may affect how these glands work; and infl ammation of the eyes. In ad-dition to the serious side effects, the most common side effects of Yervoy are tired-ness, diarrhea, itching, and rash. These side effects are most likely to begin during treatment; however, side ef-fects can show up months after the last infusion. Healthcare providers should per-form blood tests, such as liver and thyroid function tests, before starting and during treatment with Yervoy. The oncologist may decide to delay or stop Yervoy. Patients should call their healthcare pro-vider if they have any signs or symptoms or they get worse. Even seemingly mild symptoms can lead to severe or even life-threatening conditions if not addressed. Patients should not try to treat symptoms themselves.

Create Great Grilled Sides (NAPSI)—Making a healthy choice for your family can be easier and more enjoy-able than many people realize. Consider this: Nutritionists say you should have at least fi ve servings of fruits and vegetables every day—and what better way to make them thrilling than by grilling? Whether you’re picking them out of your own garden or picking them up on sale at the store, when you have an abun-dance of fresh vegetables, it can be smart

to give them a good grilling. Cooking veg-gies on the grill adds a hearty fl avor and unique taste to peppers, onions, tomatoes, squash, asparagus and more. To keep them healthful as well as tasty, it’s a good idea to brush them fi rst with versatile canola oil. It has a vanishingly mild fl avor of its own and a high smoke point that lets the fresh fl avors of the sea-son shine through. Plus, canola oil is high in omega-3 and lower in saturated fat than

any other cooking oil. Try it with this quick and easy recipe for a savory dish that can make eating all your vegetables a pleasure.

Fresh Grilled Vegetables

3 to 4 tablespoons canola oil

2 teaspoons fi nely chopped garlic

½ lb. fresh asparagus (6 to 8 stalks), with tough portion removed and stalks cut into 1-inch pieces

½ cup fresh mushroom caps, sliced

1 red pepper, sliced with seeds removed

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 medium onion, sliced into ½” rings

1 cup summer squash (green or yellow), sliced

1 cup green beans or sugar snap peas

¼ cup basil leaves, torn loosely (optional)

salt (optional) to taste

freshly ground pepper

Preheat grill to medium high. In a large bowl, toss the prepared garlic and vegeta-bles with canola oil and season with salt and pepper as desired. Grill the vegeta-bles, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a serving platter. Sprinkle with basil.

How The Affordable Care Act Affects Your Tax Return (NAPSI)—In addition to signifi cant health insurance changes, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 included tax law changes. Several of those changes will impact 2013 fed-eral tax returns, due April 15, 2014. “Online tax preparation solutions like TaxACT will cover all the tax implica-tions of the Affordable Care Act plus hundreds of other tax law changes,” said TaxACT spokesperson Jessi Dol-mage. “All you have to do is answer simple questions. The program does the math and completes the tax forms for you.” The tax law changes in the health care act, also known as “Obamacare,” for 2013 returns include: • Reporting health insurance premi-ums, fl exible spending beyond payroll deductions and other premiums paid by employees and their employers. “Sim-ply enter the amount in Box 12 with Code DD on your Form W-2 when prompted by the tax program,” said Dolmage. “You’re providing informa-tion only; it won’t change your taxable income.” • Higher threshold for deducting medical expenses. The threshold for itemizing medical expenses increases to 10 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). The threshold for tax-payers age 65 and older remains at 7.5 percent. Tax software will calculate the deduction based on medical expenses entered. • 3.8 percent tax on net investment in-come. Individuals and heads of house-hold with an AGI of $200,000+, mar-ried couples fi ling separately with an AGI of $125,000+, and couples fi ling jointly with an AGI of $250,000+ must pay the tax. Answer a few questions about investment income and your tax program will do the rest. • Additional 0.9 percent Medicare tax on wages and compensation in excess of $200,000. Taxpayers in those same

AGI ranges are subject to the additional Medicare tax. It’s automatically with-held from employee wages, with the to-tal amount provided in Box 6 of Form W-2. The tax is calculated for business owners or self-employed using fi gures on Schedule SE. The health insurance requirement be-gins to have implications on 2014 in-come tax returns (due April 2015). If you have health insurance, your online tax solution will guide you through the simple process of reporting it on your tax return. If you don’t have health insurance for a total of three or more months in 2014, you may pay a penalty that’s reported and calculated on your return. Tax programs will calculate the amount based on the number of unin-sured individuals in your household and household income. Uninsured individuals can shop and apply for health insurance through on-line “marketplaces,” also called “ex-changes,” starting October 1, 2013. States will have their own market-places, use the federal government’s

Health Insurance Marketplace, or have a hybrid of the two. Enrollment closes March 31, 2014. If you don’t have access to minimum required employer-provided insur-ance and purchase insurance through a marketplace, you may qualify for a tax credit. The money can be used to pay for out-of-pocket expenses such as deductibles, co-payments and co-insur-ance. Eligibility and amounts are based on the cost of marketplace premiums and your household size and income. The credit will be paid directly to the health insurance company. If you elect to receive a lesser credit or no credit at all, you can claim the refundable credit on your 2014 tax return. Whether you have a simple or com-plex situation, TaxACT makes it easy to navigate the tax implications of the Af-fordable Care Act anytime, anywhere. Prepare, print and e-fi le your federal taxes free at www.taxact.com/afforda-ble-care-act. Visit the Health Insurance Marketplace for information about in-surance options at www.healthcare.gov

Protect Your Child (NAPSI)—Parents need no longer fear the dreadful note home from school announcing an outbreak of head lice, if they heed these hints: • A weekly head check can help you stay ahead of an outbreak.

Survey Shows Men And Women Relax In Different Ways (NAPSI)—If you’re like most peo-ple, you like to relax on vacation—but just how do different people relax? A recent national survey came to an in-triguing conclusion. The survey re-vealed that men and women have very different notions of what makes a vaca-tion truly relaxing. It turns out while almost one in four women would rather read more to re-lax, 34 percent of men would rather have more intimacy on vacation than at home. The men may be on to something, the survey suggests. It found that 45 percent of men feel relaxed when they return home from vacation as opposed to 43 percent of women, who feel tired and need a vacation from their vaca-tion. Here are a few more facts that the survey, conducted by Princess Cruises, found:

Go Big or Go Home The majority of Americans, aged 35 and older, report that it typically takes them two or more days to settle into their vacation, perhaps needing extra time to unplug from the offi ce. In fact, nearly two out of three Americans sur-veyed prefer at least a full week away on vacation, as opposed to a day off here and there, to completely check out and feel relaxed. Celebrity Vacation Date Men and women also seem to be at odds when asked which female celeb-rity they’d like to relax with-40 percent of women would rather laugh with co-median Ellen DeGeneres, whereas 42 percent of men lean toward either girl-next-door Taylor Swift or on-screen siren Scarlett Johansson. When asked which male celebrity Americans would want to vacation alongside, men and women came together and agreed col-lectively (22 percent) that leading hunk Hugh Jackman is their man of choice. When it comes to a musical compan-ion, Justin Timberlake wins hands down in a showdown with Rihanna, with 18 percent of men and women preferring to get their sexy back versus 13 percent who would rather shine bright like a diamond. In analyzing generational preferenc-es, Millennials (approximately 18 to 31 years of age) tend to prefer young-er celebrity companions, with almost one-quarter choosing Johansson (22 percent) and nearly one-third choos-ing Ashton Kutcher (31 percent), while Baby Boomers (aged 49 to 67) would rather spend a vacation relaxing with folks closer to their own age: DeGe-neres (25 percent) and Anderson Coop-er (22 percent).

No Wake-up Calls, Please Nothing says relaxation like burying yourself in white, crisp, clean sheets with no alarm clock set. Millennials agree, with one in four choosing sleep as the activity they most enjoy doing more of on a relaxing vacation than when they are at home. On the other hand, only 14 percent of Americans 65 and older are eager to sleep on vaca-tion. Nearly one in four parents prefer sleeping more on vacation than nonpar-ents. In fact, for parents, getting more sleep on vacation is more of a priority than having sex (23 percent and 20 per-cent, respectively).

“It’s defi nitely interesting to see how men and women like to relax while on vacation,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president. “The good news is, Princess Cruises offers a wide variety of restful and relaxing op-tions for any traveler looking to unplug and escape.” Princess Cruises annually helps more than 1.7 million passengers “escape completely” aboard its worldwide fl eet of ships to exotic destinations.

A Tasty Way To Promote Reading (NAPSI)—While a good breakfast can help kids get a great start to the day, books can help keep their minds active all day long. Yet more than two-thirds of children living in poverty don’t have any books at home1. To help support childhood literacy, Frosted Mini-Wheats and other Kel-logg’s brands are joining with Scho-lastic to help families earn free books and put 200,000 books into the hands of children in need through the charity Books for Kids. Recently, children’s book author, ac-tor and father Taye Diggs demonstrated his support by creating a public service announcement to raise awareness about childhood literacy. Diggs explains how families can earn free books for their home libraries and provide books to kids in need. “This is such an important cause for me, especially as a dad, because I know

the impact that reading can have on young minds,” said Diggs. There are two ways to support chil-dren’s literacy: 1. You can collect the Great Starts Great Stories codes from participat-ing Kellogg’s products to receive a free book or “gift” a book to a school in need through the charity Books for Kids. 2. You can also visit www.Scholas-tic.com/MiniMissions to participate in Frosted Mini-Wheats Mini™ Mis-sions. Visitors can earn two free books monthly while supplies last, as well as enter a sweepstakes2 to win Scholastic books and grants for their school and community.
