Kennedy Named Executive Director Of BACC The BACC Board of Directors has named Kara Kennedy as the new Ex-ecutive Director of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce. Kennedy, a resident of Bradford for more than 18 years, will begin serving in her new po-sition on January 1st. “I am honored to have been given this opportunity,” said Kennedy. “I have enjoyed working with Ron (Orris), our Board of Directors, and our members, and look forward to continuing the pro-gress that we’ve made at the Chamber.” Kennedy acknowledged that Orris’ departure from the Chamber will leave big shoes to fi ll, but she is looking for-ward to tackling the challenge. “I have learned a lot from Ron during our time together at the Chamber, and appreciate his support and vote of confi dence as I move into this new role.” “It is a pleasure to have Kara Kenne-dy replace me as the Executive Direc-tor of our Chamber. We have worked side by side over these past fi ve and a half years, and all of our victories were because of our team work,” stated Or-ris. “She will do an outstanding job as director, and I look forward to seeing her vision for the future of the Cham-

ber. I’m sure we will still be working together on some projects that will continue to make the Bradford area a great place to live. I wish her all the luck in the world!” Tim Asinger, President of the Brad-ford Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, said, “While I know I speak for all of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce mem-bers and board members when I say that we are very sad to see Ron Orris depart the organization, the Board is equally excited to have Kara Kenne-dy step into the Executive Director’s position for BACC. Kara has worked closely with Ron for several years and gained tremendous experience. Addi-tionally, she will bring her own ideas and unique style to the position. Our members, Board of Directors, and Ex-ecutive Committee are excited to start working with Kara in her new role.” Kennedy has served as the Cham-ber’s Event Coordinator since Janu-ary 2010, and has been instrumental in planning Chamber events, co-writing the monthly newsletter, and maintain-ing communication with members and the public. During her tenure with the

Chamber, the Oktoberfest/Annual Auc-tion has fl ourished, and new events in-cluding Bradford Brewfest, the Mem-ber Family Cookout, and Cash Mob Bradford have been introduced. Her previous professional experi-ence includes sales and team manage-ment with Tastefully Simple, a national direct-sales company, as well as ad-ministrative work in student affairs and academic affairs at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, Saint Francis University, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In addition to her role at the Chamber, Kennedy currently serves as president of the Bradford Owls Soccer Booster Association and vice-president of the Bradford Community Soccer Club. She is a member of St. Bernard Parish, and resides in Bradford with her husband, Rhett, and their four sons.

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

Guest Columnist

“Thankful” -by Bob Perry

It is Thanksgiving once again and this year special thanks for the gifts and les-sons given to us by the native American Indian. Beginning with social structure, eve-ryone knew their place within a struc-ture segments of tribe (nation), clan, villages and families. Both the tribe and clan each had a leader in the fi gure of a chief who was selected by the people and always the chief was to be brave and wise. Leadership on the tribe level usually was split between a civil lead-er who guided in times of peace and a war leader in times of strife. Clans and families were the important structures of daily life with the men usually hav-ing the function of leadership outside the home but the woman had care and leadership within the home. The values that were most important to all Indians was respect, honor and status. Good deeds and generosity were acts that re-fl ected in respect from others leading to increased honor and status. Physical punishment for crimes and loyalty acts against the tribe was not necessary as the perpetrator faced rebuke and shame in from of the tribe. Repeated acts and other extreme cases led to expulsion from the tribe. Certainly there are nu-merous lessons as examples that if im-plemented would cure a lot of ills. Being called on the carpet by parents or persons of authority in front of fam-ily and the offended straightens out the

road ahead for many. The most notable insight into wisdom as thought by the Indians is all decisions made on per-sonal, governmental, and business lev-els must consider the effect it will have on our descendants seven generations into the future. May we not lose sight of this and work wisely to consider it on our every move. Then there is the food! Almost sev-enty percent (70%) of all crops grown world-wide today were cultivated by the Indians and we thank you! Where would we be without tomatoes, pota-toes, corn, etc. The fi rst real ’Thanks-giving’ was food provided for the Pil-grims at Plymouth, Massachusetts who were starving by the Wampanoag Indi-an Tribe. Included in the Pilgrims was my 12th Great Grandfather William Brewster (spiritual leader) in direct lineage and his survival provided the possibility of my existence. Thanks! Then there is the spiritual world that has provided insights as it was used to gain insights into the past, present and future. Great respect for animal life and animal spirits as animal life provided food, clothing and shelter, and thanks was given for animals giving their lives for provisions received from them. The Indian ways of hunting, fi shing, raising domestic animals, farming, gathering and sharing are national treasures. Spe-cial thanks is requested

November 21st was the day scheduled for the First Annual 5K Run/Walk event sponsored by the Bradford VFW Post #212, and we were there to cover the event. Over $2,000 was raised for the Pennsylvania Veteran’s Foundation and a lot of people had a good time. Then, on Monday, November 23rd we stopped at the Bradford Area Public Library and the School Street Elementary School for more photos. At the Library we found a couple of young visitors from Bethlehem, PA enjoying some quality time with their grandparents, and also a University frater-nity decorating a Christmas tree. And at the school, we found members of the “K-Kids,” a division of the Kiwanis who had collected Thanksgiving food for people living at the Bradford Area YWCA……..This is the third week for our Christ-mas Magic 2015 found on page 21 of this edition. With the rush of holiday shopping soon to commence, we suggest that our readers take a close look at this page in particular, and give special atten-tion to all of the holiday ideas in this is-sue of the Bradford Journal in general, to help guarantee a less hassled holiday ex-perience……..Once again this year, the First Wesleyan Church of Bradford will hold a Camo service, Sunday, November 29th at 10:30 AM. This service is direct-ed to hunters and outdoors people..……..It’s time to begin thinking about First Night Bradford, the alcohol free New Year’s Eve entertainment event of the year. The committee is hard at work mak-ing the fi nal touches to the event which will include many of the same venues as previous years, but will noticeably include a big change- that of the inclusion of an afternoon performance of N’Demand, a nationally known experienced company, a variety band that is guaranteed to leave its guests laughing, dancing, singing, and en-joying the remainder of the event. Tickets for their performance, along with buttons and program booklets will be available for advance purchase soon……..The Co-pley News Service has outdone itself this week, in an article entitled “Jour-nalists: Your bias is showing,” One argument is that the DNA of liber-als makes them gravitate to jobs in the arts, journalism and academia. Another is that a liberal cannot produce a con-servative or balanced account. There-fore, the article says, citizens must see the news with a critical eye. Having just said that liberals enter fi elds known for critical thinking, which of our citizens outside those fi elds of critical think-ing are genetically capable of thinking about what the critical thinkers write. Perhaps they were just kidding.

Bradford Journal Photo Students from Mr. Gleason’s fi fth grade classroom begin to fi ll up this table in the cafeteria at School Street Elementary School, November 23rd. From the left, clock-wise around are Bianca Baker, Brendan Confer, Krysta Vanyo, Madison Persing, Myra Baker, and Olivia Coles, all 10-years-old. The food for the day included chicken ten-ders and meatball subs as a main course with salads and a drink. They tell us they are especially hungry because they’re late for lunch due to their having attended a science program at the Bradford Area High School.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESYour Year-End Financial Checklist

-by Nathaniel Sillin It will begin soon enough – all those “beat the rush!” ads for holiday shopping, activities and events. Right now, you have a great opportunity to beat the rush to or-ganize your year-end fi nances and make some smart moves for the New Year. Consider the following tasks for your year-end fi nancial to-do list. Total up your year-to-date spending. Whether you organize by computer or on paper, make sure your tracking system for spending, saving and investment is up to date. This way, you can make sure you are on budget for the year and ready with data for tax time. Once you are fi nished, deter-mine your net worth – what you own less what you owe – and get an early idea of what you need to change next year. Check in with your planner or tax pro-fessional. Late December is a busy time for fi nancial professionals. Take a minute to see if they can review your numbers and make suggestions on year-end fi nan-cial activities and new moves you should make in 2016. Make sure you’ve reviewed all your credit reports for the year. You are enti-tled to one free copy (https://www.annu-alcreditreport.com) of each of your three major credit reports from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. It’s generally wise to schedule delivery of each at different points in the year to catch errors or irregu-larities. Check and rebalance your portfolio. With the dramatic market swings this past year, be sure to check if your retirement and other investments are still on track with your investment goals. Get qualifi ed help if necessary to see if the assets you own still fi t your needs. And if you need to do any tax selling by the end of the year, now is the time to start thinking about it. Check your insurance coverage. If you buy your own home, auto, life or other insurance policies, contact two or three agents representing highly rated (http://www.ambest.com) insurers to review the adequacy and pricing of your coverage. If you have made any structural changes or improvements to your home, make sure those actions are refl ected in your home-owners insurance. Such work may boost your home’s replacement value. Also, if you’ve had a major life or fi nancial event like a new baby or the purchase of a new home it’s time to make sure all your cov-erage is suffi cient. Update your W-2, benefi ts and estate plan if necessary. While you’re updating your insurance and investment needs for big life events related to family, property or marital status, see if your tax withhold-ing and employee health coverage and in-

vestments need review. Get qualifi ed help to make this assessment if you are not sure. Empty out your fl exible spending ac-counts. If you have a Flexible Spending Account for health care or other qualifying expenses, it’s time to submit outstanding claims from the doctor, dentist or optom-etrist. Remember you can only transfer $500 in your remaining balance over to the next year. Make any appointments or medical purchases you need to now and get the paperwork in fast. Do a last-minute tax review. If you work alone or with a tax professional, re-view your annual income, investment and spending data to see if there’s anything you can do in the fi nal weeks of the year to save on taxes. If tax-deductible dona-tions to qualifi ed charities and nonprof-its are recommended, consult sites such as GuideStar (http://www.guidestar.org), CharityWatch (https://www.charitywatch.org/home) and Charity Navigator (http://www.charitynavigator.org) to evaluate your choices so you know your contribu-tion is being well spent. Save time and cut back on waste with online bill pay and deposits. Automatic online bill pay means you won’t have to waste time writing checks or risk late payment fees. Scheduling bill payment through your checking and savings ac-counts can save time and money, while setting up regular electronic deposits to savings and investment accounts can

also help you save money before you are tempted to spend it. Bottom line: Doing a last-minute re-view of your fi nances can potentially save money and help you save, spend and in-vest smarter in the coming year.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(StatePoint) Dry eye syndrome -- when your body doesn’t produce enough tears to keep your eyes moist -- is not just uncomfortable, it can lead to eye damage. Unfortunately, the problem is com-mon and can worsen with age. In fact, Americans spend about a third of a bil-lion dollars annually on over-the-coun-ter eye drops, or “artifi cial tears,” a solu-tion which is only temporary. And their prescription counterparts may produce such side effects as allergic reactions, acute and chronic conjunctivitis, sting-ing and blurred vision, among others. Indeed, the preservatives in eye drops themselves can even be a source of dry eye syndrome. So before reaching for those drops, consider these alternatives:

Change Your Lifestyle Reducing your alcohol intake can have many positive benefi ts on the body and you can count relief from dry eye syndrome among them. Additionally, avoid exposure to cig-arette smoke and other air pollutants. If you’re a smoker, relieving dry eye syn-drome may be great motivation to quit. Screen time can also worsen dry eye syndrome. Unfortunately, this is one thing that’s hard to avoid. Screens may be an integral part of your work day, and you likely carry a smartphone or tablet with you when you are on-the-go. However, you can take frequent breaks from staring at your screens. Be sure to schedule time periodically where you actively look away from your screen --

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: How long would I have to walk to burn off the calories in holiday treats? A: It depends on the treats you choose and how fast you walk. Holiday cook-ies often have 60 to 140 calories each, and sweet desserts may contain from 200 to 600 calories or more per serving. If you walk at a moderate 3 miles per hour pace and weigh 150 pounds, you would need about 24 minutes to burn the calories in one 140-calorie cookie, and well over an hour for other sweet desserts. If you can comfortably walk at a brisk pace of about 4 miles per hour, you could cut your walking time to 15 minutes to burn the same number of calories; or if you walk briskly for 24 minutes, you’ll burn almost 200 calories. Looking at this math, it’s easy to see that although boosting physical activity at a time when there’s more high-calorie food around can help avoid weight gain, adding extra exercise can’t easily keep up with how quickly excess calories accumulate with overeating. However, don’t look at walking and other exercise simply as a way to bal-ance calories you consume. Physical activity, independent of weight, links with nu-merous health benefi ts, including lower risk of several cancers. It also helps your body regulate blood sugar and keeps several hormones at healthy levels. For many people, daily physical activity also helps handle stress, raise energy lev-els and improve sleep quality, which are all often challenges at busy times of year. So enjoy sweet treats of the season, choosing those that you enjoy most at times when you can truly taste and savor them.

a perfect time to take care of the whole body and stand up and stretch.

Consider Supplements Recent discoveries show that protec-tive plant compounds from the South American maqui berry can reduce light-induced damage to tear glands and enhance tear production. Consider taking maqui berry extract, which can represent an effective approach to re-store comfort and composition of one’s tears. “If you’re accustomed to thinking of eye drops as the sole solution, it can be diffi cult to imagine an oral treatment having such a profound impact on tear production. However, protective plant compounds can actually restore your eye’s delicate ecosystem from the in-side out,” says Michael A. Smith, MD, senior health scientist for Life Exten-sion and host of Healthy Talk on Radi-oMD.com. Along with a maqui supplement, consider upping your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, which boost production of the oily layer of your eyes, improving the integrity of the tear fi lm and slow-ing the evaporation of tears. In addition to fl axseeds, walnuts, salmon and other foods that are chock full of the nutri-ent, consider omega-3 fatty acid sup-plements. For more information, visit www.lifeextension.com/Tear or call 866-280-2851.

Embrace Your Four Eyes Dry eye syndrome can be exacerbat-ed by contacts. It can also be caused by LASIK surgery to correct one’s vision. You can reduce symptoms by stick-ing with your glasses. If you can’t say no to contacts, consider fi nding a pair of glasses you truly love and taking a

Route 6 Bridge Work in Port Allegany Winding Down

(Port Allegany, PA )– The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is nearing completion on its replacement of a Route 6 bridge in Port Allegany. The bridge spans Lillibridge Creek at the east end of the borough near the Gulf gas station. Clean-up and sealing will take place November 23 through 25. Crews have been working since April to replace the original, 71-year-old bridge. Once work is complete, PennDOT will remove it from McKean County’s struc-turally defi cient list. The new bridge will carry an average of more than 7,600 vehi-cles daily. Construction activity has included bridge replacement, curbing, new side-walk, drainage improvements, and road-way paving. The Dolomite Group/A.L. Blades & Sons, Inc. of Hornell, New York has been the contractor for this $2.5 mil-lion job. Crews from IA Construction Company will be working through Wednesday to wrap up 2015 work on a Route 155 project from Port Allegany to the Potter County line. Work on this 8-mile project will re-sume in spring of 2016 and will include drainage improvements, paving, and guide rail updates. Work will also include replacement of the super structure on a large, Route 155 bridge at the south end of Port Allegany. PennDOT will issue an up-date on the project before work resumes.

Seat-Belt Use, Impaired Driving a Focus for ‘Operation Safe Holiday’Agencies Encourage SaferRide App

use for Safe Rides Home (Harrisburg, PA )– The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Pennsylvania State Police and Pennsyl-vania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) are combining enforcement, education and smartphone technology to make this holi-day season a safer one through “Operation Safe Holiday” and the SaferRide app.

During “Operation Safe Holiday,” law enforcement agencies statewide will focus on nighttime seat-belt use and impaired driving. The SaferRide app, developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffi c Safety Ad-ministration, helps individuals arrange a taxi or contact a friend to get a safe ride home after drinking. “Unfortunately, the holiday season turns tragic for many families due to crashes and deaths on our roadways,” PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “While we’re partnering with law enforcement and other safety partners, we urge the public to do their part to keep the season safe – always buckle up and never drive impaired.” The operation begins with statewide Click It or Ticket seat-belt enforcement that runs from November 23 to Novem-ber 30. Law enforcement agencies also will conduct sobriety checkpoints, rov-ing patrols and regular traffi c safety pa-trols on Thanksgiving Eve, November 25, and from November 28 through the New Year’s holiday to crack down on drivers impaired by drugs or alcohol. According to PennDOT data, the holiday season continues to be the lead-ing time period for traffi c crashes. The Thanksgiving holiday period, including the weekends before and after the holiday as well as the day itself, experienced the highest number of crashes and fatalities of any major holiday season last year. A total of 4,311 crashes and 39 fatalities occurred statewide during the Thanksgiving travel period. The Christmas and New Year’s travel periods, including the weekend be-fore Christmas, Christmas, the weekend before New Year’s, New Year’s and the weekend after, saw 4,184 crashes and 41 fatalities.

CROSSWORD SOLUTION SUDOKU SOLUTION

“In 2014 alone, there were 440 fatal crashes involving unbuckled occupants throughout the commonwealth,” said Act-ing State Police Commissioner Tyree C. Blocker. “This is just one example of how deaths from being unbuckled or driving impaired are, in many cases, preventable.” Additionally, during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays last year, 1,039 of the statewide crashes in-volved a driver impaired by drugs or alco-hol, with 35 fatalities in those crashes. In that same period, there were 937 crashes with unbuckled occupants, with 32 fatali-ties in those crashes. The public can help make the season a safer one by never driving impaired. Indi-viduals can download the free SaferRide app on Android and Apple devices from the Google Play or iTunes stores. Once downloaded to a smart phone, the Safer-Ride app provides three simple options to a user: review and call taxi services avail-able in the area, call a contact programmed into the app in advance and view a map of the user’s location. The PLCB will spread the word about the app this holiday season on its web-sites, at Fine Wine & Good Spirits Stores, at licensed locations and through social media. Printed material distributed at Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores and posters made available to licensed bars, restau-rants, hotels, taverns and other social set-tings feature a QR code that customers and patrons can scan using smartphones for direct access to a PLCB website featuring information about the SaferRide app and direct links to download it. “For many years Senator Stewart Greenleaf has pursued a way to help en-sure Pennsylvanians have a safe way to get home after celebrating,” said PLCB member Mike Negra. “Thanks to his en-couragement and the federal government’s development of this app, we’re happy to spread awareness of the SaferRide app as a safe alternative to get home.” The PLCB is also making available on its SaferRide app website a toolkit of pro-motional materials, including social me-dia ads and web banners. Individuals and organizations interested in promoting the SaferRide app are encouraged to down-load these resources from the website and spread awareness through their own net-works of partners, fans and followers. The PLCB regulates the distribution of alcoholic beverages in Pennsylvania, oper-ates more than 600 wine and spirits stores statewide and licenses more than 20,000 alcoholic beverage producers and retail-ers. The PLCB also works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through partnerships with schools, com-munity groups and licensees. Taxes and store profi ts – totaling more than $14.5

billion since the agency’s inception – are returned to Pennsylvania’s General Fund, and the PLCB also provides fi nancial sup-port for the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Pro-grams, other state agencies and local mu-nicipalities across the state. For more in-formation about the PLCB, visit www.lcb.state.pa.us. The holiday seat-belt and DUI enforce-ment are funded by part of PennDOT’s statewide distribution of $6.5 million in NHTSA enforcement monies this fed-eral fi scal year. For more information on PennDOT’s highway safety efforts visit www.JustDrivePA.org. The public can join the discussion us-ing the hashtag #PASafeHoliday.

Treat Your Guests To A Terrific Trifle

(NAPSI)—This elegant Swedish Ten-Minute Trifl e makes a great dessert, es-pecially for berry lovers. Sweden, home of the smorgasbord, a tempting spread of sweet and savory dishes, is a rich source of healthy, delicious, special occasion rec-ipes for home entertaining. One of their secrets: Sweden’s forests are full of tart-sweet lingonberries, picked and served with everything from waffl es and pastry to Swedish meatballs. The lin-gonberry was featured on “The Dr. Oz Show” as a “superberry,” loaded with an-tioxidants and bursting with juicy fl avor. The next time the party’s at your place, take a tip from Swedish home cooks: You can serve lingonberry jam with ham or turkey instead of cranberry sauce, or use it as a topping on pancakes or waffl es for a festive brunch. For a quick and delectable dessert your guests will love, try this Ten-Minute Tri-fl e from the makers of Felix Lingonberry jam—it’s a fresh take on an all-time clas-sic.

Ten-Minute Trifl e8-10 ginger biscuits(or biscuits of your own choice), crushed2/3 cup Felix Lingonberries1 cup whipping cream, whipped1 teaspoon vanilla sugar Crumble some ginger biscuits, putting half in the bottom of a glass. Whip cream together with vanilla sugar. On top of the biscuit crumbs, add a layer of lingonber-ries, then a layer of whipped cream. Re-peat, fi nishing with a layer of cream.

FAMILY FEATURES

Busy weeknights can make for hectic meals, but these simple recipes prove youdon’t have to trim out flavor or precious moments spent with family whenyou’re cutting minutes off your dinner prep time.

The secret to making quick meals your family will love is quality ingredients. Tastymeals are easy when you incorporate the wholesome flavor of all-natural ingredientsyou feel good about serving your family, such as Hunt’s tomatoes. Hunt’s peels itsdiced, whole and stewed tomatoes using steam from simple hot water, so no chemicalbyproducts get put back into the earth.

Rely on these additional tips to help save time with your weeknight dinner prep:

� When you’re exploring new time-saving recipes, consider both prep time andtotal cook time. Many dishes can be assembled in minutes, leaving you time to help tackle chores and homework before sitting down to dinner.

� Enlist backup when the prep time is a little longer. For example, an extra set of hands from a little helper can shave minutes off the assembly of thisEggplant Lasagna, while getting a youngster excited about dig ging into aveggie-centric dinner.

� Make what you can ahead of time. Assemble a dish such as these Oven RoastedBrussels Sprouts with Tomatoes in the morning and slip them in the refrig erator,so all you have to do is slide them in the oven at dinner time.
