Tasta Pizza won all their games to advance to second place, while Dexter’s fell to third. Among the top scorers for the cap-tains in the JV section, Cadence Panol (captain of Dexter’s Service Center) is in fi rst place, Andy Mangold (cap-tain for Beefeaters’ Restaurant) holds second, and Alex Mangold (captain of Prestige: Watch & Jewelry) advanced to third. Other top scorers in the jun-ior varsity, who are not captains, in-clude top-scorer Gabe Wyant (member of Lang Surveying) in fi rst, Maximil-ian Panol (member of Burns & Burns team) is in second, and Mallory Whit-low (member of the Tasta Pizza team) moved into third place.

Tied for top individual in the varsity section are Mike Jones (captain for Dr. Gonzalez) and Greg Henry (captain for Edmond Chevrolet/Ed Shults Toyota). Tamara Ferguson is one point behind the leaders in third.

Public Invited To Meeting On Bridge

Replacement Projects (Clearfi eld) The company that will be replacing 17 McKean County bridges over the next two years has scheduled a meeting for anyone interested in learning more about the project. The project contractor, Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) invites the public to a presentation on three bridg-es planned for 2017. Two of the bridges are on Derrick Road (SR 346) over Fos-ter Brook (JV65 and JV66) and one is on Olean Road (SR 646) over Pennbrook Run (JV67). The meeting will be held at the Foster Township Municipal Building, 1185 East Main St, in Bradford, PA on Thursday, February 18 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be a brief presentation about the project and then members of the con-struction team and PennDOT will be available to answer questions about plans, project construction information, detour routes and other details. The bridge replacements are part of the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project, a Public-Private Partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) under which PWKP will fi nance, design, replace and main-tain the bridges for 25 years. As part of PWKP, Walsh/Granite JV will oversee construction. The P3 approach will al-low PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving signifi cant sav-ings and minimizing impact on motorists. To see the bridges included in the statewide initiative and to learn more about the Rapid Bridge Replacement Pro-ject and P3 in Pennsylvania, visit www.P3forPA.pa.gov.

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

Guest Columnist

“Catch And Release” -by Bob Perry

We are not talking about trout fi shing but, the U.S. illegal immigration policy and the action President Barack Hus-sein Obama has taken reinstating the policy of not retaining an illegal when encountered, and the illegal claims to be in the U.S. since the start of 2014. Current law compels the Border Pa-trol to detain any illegal alien they en-counter. Obama’s order instructs the Border Patrol to break the law by this new policy and all an illegal has to do is claim to be in the U.S. since the start of 2014. The Border Patrol cannot take any other action except to release them un-less of course they are being detained for criminal activity. Illegal aliens have been ordered to appear at a deportation hearing but that is being waived. It does not take a genius to perceive that Obama has a disdain for the exception-al nation that United States is, and the accumulated actions he has taken can only serve to weaken the US going for-ward. Obama is making laws again that override existing laws, and is establish-ing another claim he has more power than Congress. Only the Supreme Court apparently has the power to halt

the executive action, or is it the gump-tion? Of course the outcome of this issue may have consequences when, and if, the Supremes rule in favor of Obama’s executive amnesties order. As for the Supreme Court, it was envisioned that the Justices would be somewhat, or mostly, immune to out-side infl uences, included, but not lim-ited to, Congress; the President; ideol-ogy; political affi liation. Sad to say the Court is not proactive whenever Congress or the President’s Administration clearly act outside the law and the Constitution. Many ideal-ogues want open borders and why do they want such a thing when they will be the last to open the doors to their house and take illegal aliens as mem-bers of the household. One thought is to consider this as a ‘stand down order’ adding to other ‘stand down orders’ including hav-ing the Justice Department not enforc-ing existing laws, and recommending States not to enforce laws they do not want to. Are we becoming a less law, or a law-less nation?

Four of the photos in this issue were taken by Mary DePalma during her vis-it to he 26th annual International Cros-by Cow and Coyote Hunt benefi t, held in Downtown Crosby, PA February 12th-13th, 2016. This fantasy event included a parade, games, competitions, raffl es, and even the crowning of a new King and Queen to serve as royalty for the 2016-17 edition of the same. More importantly, the majority of the proceeds were earmarked for Smethport area nonprofi ts, with some even fi nding its way to local veterans’ organizations……..It’s not too early to mark our calendars for the Craft and Vendor Show Michele Distrola benefi t scheduled for Saturday, February 27th to be held at the Asbury United Method-ist Church, 385 East Main Street, from 10AM to 3PM. Among the Vendors regis-tered so far are Tupperware, Avon, Carols Custom Creations, Essential Oils, Taste-fully Simple, Close to My Heart Scrap-booking, Usborne Books, Creative Hands, Charming Gardens, Designs By Brissa, and Mary Kay. We can also expect to fi nd a Chinese auction, and a baked food sale. Michele, as a nurse, has cared for people over many years. Now she needs a caring hand herself, to cover some of the expens-es associated with kidney failure, dialysis, and diabetes……..It seems that the pri-mary actors in today’s western culture, in spite of the fact that they are facing what they recognize as worsening, po-tentially unsolvable social, political, and economic problems, are unwilling to embrace existing, historically viable alternatives. The present monetary sys-tem creates economic bubbles that crash on a regular basis, destroying investments that such a system promises to its peo-ple, and puts the wealth of the world in an increasingly smaller number of hands. No one wants this to continue. It is obvi-ous that with such increased wealth comes increased responsibility in keeping the whole system running. And it is also obvi-ous that this is beyond the ability of those who through the existing system have become kings. The worldwide recession of 2008 that has left us with $trillions in worthless paper still being shuffl ed from fi nancial institution to fi nancial institu-tion is proof of this. And the irony here is that while half of the world’s people are starving, with no solution under the pre-sent monetary system in sight, resources suffi cient to supply everyone with all the necessities of life are now available and within the reach of present technology. But there is no way to convince those who control the wealth that propping up prices through scarcity interferes not only with supplying the needs of the people, but also makes their own position more fragile by destroying markets and causing political upheaval and instability.

Photo by Mary DePalmaThe changing of the Royalty, February 13th, during the 26th Annual International Crosby Cow and Coyote Hunt benefi t, was a really big deal during the two day fan-tasy extravaganza. Here, the King and Queen for 2015-2016, Brian and Sue Lathrop of Crosby at the left, get ready to pass their robes and other tools of high offi ce to the 2016-17 Queen and King Carrie “Twerp” Kisko and Frank Placer of Crosby. Proceeds as in the past will go to many and various nonprofi t local organizations.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESMaking Phased Retirement Work for You Phased retirement – a catchall term that describes a variety of part-time and reduced-hour work arrangements before leaving an employer for good – is gaining steam. But before you sign on, it’s impor-tant to understand how “phasing out” may affect your long-term fi nances. Washington is leading the way. The fed-eral government authorized the move for its own employees several years ago and began accepting applications in late 2014 from workers aged 55 and up with a desire to switch to half-time employment in ex-change for receiving half their salary and annuity. For employees with a long-term view, phased retirement can offer signifi cant benefi ts, but it requires due diligence and planning. Among the advantages, phased retirement means that there doesn’t need to be a hard stop on a successful career. In fact, a 2014 study (http://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/press-releases/glob-al-wealth-and-investment-management/merrill-lynch-study-finds-72-percent-people-o) by Merrill Lynch in partnership with Age Wave said that 72 percent of pre-retirees over the age of 50 report that their ideal retirement will include working “often in new, more fl exible and fulfi lling ways.” The study also noted that 47 per-cent of current retirees were already work-ing or planning to work during their retire-ment years. If your company is talking about phased retirement or may do so in the future, here are some key questions to consider: What exactly do you want to phase into? For some workers, retirement re-ally will mean a classic vision of travel and leisure leading into old age. But for others, the picture may be different. Some retirees will want to work and some retir-ees will have to work. Such decisions will summon a host of personal fi nance and tax issues based on your personal situation – read heavily and consult qualifi ed experts before you make a decision. What options will my employer offer over time? While the federal government is in the lead with phased retirement, most private employers are moving at a slower pace. This gives you time to plan. For ex-ample, in a 2013 benefi ts study, the So-ciety for Human Resource Management noted that only 6 percent of employers had a formal phased retirement program that provided a reduced schedule and/or responsibilities prior to full retirement. Watch how your employer’s plan evolves and ask questions. Phased or not, do you have a retire-ment plan in place? The decision to make a full or transitional exit from one’s em-ployer should come after years of saving and investing both at home and at work. Years before deciding how you want to leave your career, talk to qualifi ed retire-ment experts about your personal fi nancial circumstances and what you want to do in

the next phase of your life. If it’s a new career, volunteer work or full retirement, develop a plan fi rst. Have you talked to your senior col-leagues? There’s nothing like direct ad-vice from individuals closer to retirement to help you with your own set of pros and cons. Even if there’s no phased retirement program at your organization right now, it’s still worth talking about retirement preparation with senior colleagues will-ing to share what they’re doing. Also, start your own retirement planning in earnest with qualifi ed retirement and tax experts. How will phased retirement affect your overall benefi ts? If you’re working at a lower salary level at the end of your ca-reer, ask how that might affect your future retirement benefi ts. Make a list of all the benefi ts and perks you now receive as a current full-time employee and investi-gate how every single one could be affect-ed by phased retirement. And if you leave the company permanently before qualify-ing for Medicare, know how you’ll pay for health insurance. This is a particularly important issue to discuss with a qualifi ed fi nancial or tax advisor. Bottom line: Phased retirement can of-fer the opportunity to adjust to full-time retirement or set up a new career once you fi nally leave your current employer. However, before you leap, fully investi-gate how such a transition will affect your overall fi nances and future retirement ben-efi ts.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Keeping blood pressure under control can mean adding things to your life, such as exercise, that help lower it. But you may not realize that it also means avoiding things that raise it. If you or someone you care about is among the one in three U.S. adults—about 80 million people—with high blood pressure, you need to be aware of these six things that can raise blood pressure and thwart your efforts to keep it in a healthy range. 1. Salt. The American Heart Asso-ciation (AHA) recommends people aim to eat no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. That level is associated with lower blood pressure, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. Be-cause the average American’s sodium intake is so excessive, even cutting back to no more than 2,400 mg a day can improve blood pressure and heart health. 2. Decongestants. People with high blood pressure should be aware that the use of decongestants may raise blood pressure. Many over-the-counter (OTC) cold and fl u preparations con-tain decongestants. Always read the la-bels on all OTC medications. Look for warnings to those with high blood pres-sure and to those who take blood pres-sure medications. 3. Alcohol. Drinking too much alco-hol can raise your blood pressure. Your doctor may advise you to reduce the amount of alcohol you drink. If cutting back on alcohol is hard for you to do on your own, ask your health care provider about getting help. The AHA recom-mends that if you drink, limit it to no more than two drinks per day for men and no more than one drink per day for women. 4. Hot Tubs & Saunas. People with high blood pressure should not move back and forth between cold water and hot tubs or saunas. This could cause an increase in blood pressure. 5. Weight Gain. Maintaining a healthy weight has many health ben-efi ts. People who are slowly gaining weight can either gradually increase the level of physical activity (toward the equivalent of 300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity) or reduce caloric intake, or both, until their weight is stable. If you are overweight, losing as little as fi ve to 10 pounds may help lower your blood pressure. 6. Sitting. New research shows that just a few minutes of light activity for

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I’m trying to lose weight. Should I cut calories at meals or snacks? A:The goal is to cut from 250 up to 500, or perhaps even 750, calories daily. You may fi nd there’s a particular time of day when you eat more than you need. Perhaps at dinner you tend to eat high-calorie dishes or often go back for seconds. Are your snacks loaded with sugar or fat? Or maybe there’s a time of day when you eat or drink a large amount without paying attention. That sort of mindless or stress-prompted eating can add hundreds or even a thousand calories without much nutritional value and not satisfy your hunger. Keeping a record can be an excellent tool to help you see where you can cut calories. Jot down everything you eat and drink for a few days, and note how hun-gry you are before and after you eat. You may not fi nd a single stand out source of excess calories, but rather a pattern of 50 or 100 extra calories you could cut at multiple times through the day. For example, instead of cutting a snack com-pletely, you could eat a smaller portion. A registered dietitian-nutritionist can help you identify some meal or snack alternatives. It doesn’t matter whether your calorie cut comes in one big change or a collec-tion of small changes. What does matter is that you are eating the healthful foods you need to maintain your energy and health, and that you are creating a strategy that can work for you every day.

people who sit most of the day can lower blood pressure in those with type 2 dia-betes. Taking three-minute walk breaks during an eight-hour day was linked to a 10-point drop in systolic blood pres-sure. Learn More: For more informa-

Elimination Of Registration Stickers (Harrisburg, PA) – At the invitation of PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards, legislators and law enforcement offi cers recently received a demonstration of Au-tomated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology that provides law enforcement a better tool to verify expired vehicle reg-istrations. “License plate reader technology al-lows a single law enforcement offi cer to quickly, accurately and reliably check the status of thousands of license plates on a single shift using information from PennDOT’s registration database to de-termine if there are expired registrations or lack of insurance for the vehicle,” said Richards. “It is a true force multiplier.” Plate reader technology holds numer-ous advantages over the visual inspec-tion of registration stickers, which can be counterfeited, sold, affi xed to dead plates or applied to plates for which they were not intended. By querying the registration information using ALPR technology, a law enforcement offi cer can identify ex-pired vehicle registrations and insurance coverage. If there is something wrong, the offi cer would be immediately alerted by the ALPR of a problem with the vehicle’s registration. To help law enforcement to prepare for the provision of Act 89 of 2013 that eliminates issuance of vehicle registration stickers by 2017, PennDOT is proposing a grant program utilizing the savings from the elimination of the registration stickers. The grant program could provide grants to law enforcement offi cers for the purchase and maintenance of license plate readers. With the elimination of registration stickers beginning January 1, 2017, cus-tomers will see a signifi cant benefi t in in-creased convenience when renewing vehi-cle registrations. “Without the registration sticker, the future of Pennsylvania vehicle owners certainly looks brighter with respect to the registration renewal process,” said Rich-

ards. “By further leveraging technology, we can make renewing your vehicle’s reg-istration and having an immediate, perma-nent registration credential in hand as easy as spending a few minutes online from your home computer.” Beginning January 1, 2017, custom-ers who renew online will be able save a copy of and print a permanent registration card on demand. Future plans also include allowing customers to eventually up-load their registration cards to their smart phones and eliminate the requirement to print a copy altogether. Further savings will be realized in re-duced mailing costs. Currently, 40 percent of customers already renew vehicle reg-istrations online. Eliminating the need to mail these customers a registration sticker coupled with the ability to print their reg-istration card on demand will eliminate more than $2 million per year in mailing costs. In addition, the elimination of the registration stickers will save $1 million a year in product costs, bringing the esti-mated fi rst year savings to approximately $3.1 million. The last registration sticker will be is-sued December 30, 2016. Customers will still need to have their vehicles registered and inspected, but will not be required to display a registration sticker on their li-cense plate after December 31, 2016. For more information on the plan to eliminate registration stickers, please visit www.dmv.pa.gov and look under the Reg-istration Stickers tab under Vehicle Regis-tration. The elimination of the registration sticker was evaluated as part of a Penn State University research study that con-cluded eliminating the registration stick-er would have no impact on compliance with vehicle registration laws. A copy of the study is on the Driver and Vehicle Ser-vices webpage at www.dmv.pa.gov at the Registration Stickers tab under Vehicle Registration.

It may sound contrary to your healthy eating plan, but the humanbody actually needs some types of fat for heart and brain health.One common source is cooking oil, such as olive oil.

Of the cooking oils most commonly used in North America, suchas olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil and various vegetable oils, oliveoil contains the most monounsaturated fat,which is widely recognized for its poten -tial role in reducing the risk of coronaryheart disease. In fact, beginning in 2016,olive oils will display the Amer ican HeartAssociation’s Heart Check-Mark* to alertconsumers about olive oil’s heart-healthybenefits.

Don’t Be A Hack: Cybersecurity Expert Provides Tips To Prevent Social Media Hacking

(NAPSI)—Each year, 9 million peo-ple fall prey to cyberattacks, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Data breaches wreak havoc on one’s personal and fi nancial lives and can cause head-aches for years to come. Unfortunately, you or someone you know has already likely been hacked at some point—and if you haven’t, now is a good time to make sure you’re fully protected. Hackers use a variety of means to capture personal data, from keystroke logging and phishing e-mails to cred-it card or other fi nancial information theft. While you can protect yourself by changing passwords and verifying where an e-mail originated, consumers need to take less obvious steps to pro-tect themselves. Dan Konzen, Phoenix college campus chair for University of Phoenix College of Information Systems & Technology, and a cybersecurity expert, teaches oth-ers how to protect themselves online by performing live hacks of social media sites, starting with information they thought was secure. “Social media sites like Facebook lead users to believe their informa-tion and data are secure through a few self-selected security settings,” said

Konzen, who co-founded his own cy-bersecurity company. “The best way to protect yourself is knowing what information is available online and how to reduce access. Con-sumers think because they have a pass-word on an account, they’re protected. But today’s cybersecurity criminals can often get around basic passwords and uncover personal information like ad-dresses and GPS coordinates on things like a photo.” Konzen often performs live hacks to

show people just how easy accessing blocked or hidden information can be. He offers the following tips for people to protect themselves: 1. Use VPN networks and Tor brows-ers on public networks when available. 2. Use websites like www.agilebits.com/onepassword or guerrillamail.com to protect passwords and e-mail addresses. And make sure passwords are more than eight characters long and contain numbers and symbols. 3. Remember that nothing posted online is truly hidden, secure or pri-vate—and that doesn’t pertain only to the Internet; information from apps, smartphones and tablets can also be ac-cessed. Take extra steps to keep fi nan-cial information, passwords, e-mail ad-dresses and other personal information secure. “We can’t just turn off our phones and never use electronics again; that’s not realistic,” Konzen said. “You need to be aware of what is being put out there and make sure all your data is se-cure.” For people interested in additional ways to protect their online identity, or interested in courses on cybersecurity, many colleges offer cybersecurity de-gree programs. According to the Bu-reau of Labor Statistics, cybersecurity jobs are expected to grow 37 percent by 2022. University of Phoenix, for exam-ple, offers associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees and a number of cer-tifi cates in cybersecurity on campus or completely online.

SENIOR INFORMATION PAGEWhat To Do When Life Insurance Premiums Rise (NAPSI)—If you are one of the American seniors facing an increase in your life insurance premiums, you may have more options than you realize. The Problem Several life insurance carriers have raised rates for this year, some by as much as 200 percent. “Over the course of the past few months, thousands of policy owners have begun receiving letters from their life insurance carriers, informing them that the companies will be increasing the ‘cost of insurance’ built into cer-tain life insurance policies,” explained Darwin Bayston, president and chief executive offi cer of the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA). “This

is an especially disturbing surprise for seniors, many of whom trusted their in-surance companies to stand by the an-nual premiums they were quoted at the time they agreed to purchase the poli-cies.” The insurance companies have been

notifying policyholders that they have three options: They can pay higher pre-miums in order to keep their existing death benefi t, they can maintain the same premiums but sacrifi ce some of their death benefi t on the policy, or they can surrender the policy back to the in-surance company for its nominal cash value. An Answer There is another way, however: a life settlement—selling the policy to a third-party investor for an immediate cash payment. Candidates for life set-tlements are typically aged 65 or older, with a life insurance policy that has a death benefi t of more than $100,000. The sale can also help take some of the sting out of increases in other re-tirement expenses such as health care costs. This may be a more effi cient and fl exible solution than reductions in your benefi ts and, for many people, it’s a better alternative than letting the pol-icy lapse or surrendering it back to the insurance company. Learn More: For help deciding if a life settlement is for you, please visit www.lisa.org. To view a video on this issue, go to www.lisa.org/options.

Wiping away the grime of winter doesn’thave to mean launching an attack withdangerous chemicals. As you tackle this

year’s spring cleaning chores, take a note fromMother Nature and rely on the cleaning power of a surprisingly effective natural product: vinegar.

During the last century, vinegar has becomeincreasingly recognized as a low cost and eco-friendly household product. From cooking and can -ning, to cleaning items indoors and out, homeownersare discovering that this eco-friendly, acetic liquid is as versatile as it is useful.

“Cleaning with vinegar has always been aneffective way to banish dirt and grime in kitchens,bathrooms, the garage and the outdoors,” said MikeSmith, executive vice president of sales and market -ing at Mizkan Americas, the makers of Four MonksCleaning Vinegar.

Despite its strong cleaning power, vin egar doeshave one downfall: its distinctive odor. You canexperiment with dozens of DIY recipes online toovercome this dilemma, or you can rely on a store-bought non-toxic cleaning vinegar such as FourMonks, which is made from a proprietary processthat reduces the strong aroma and leaves a clean,crisp scent.

Learn how vinegar can make it easier to tacklecommon tasks around the house with these hacksand discover more uses for cleaning vinegar atVinegarTips.com.

In the BathroomRid a faucet of lime deposits by tying a plasticbag containing one-third to one-half cup ofvinegar around it and leaving it there for two or three hours. Wipe down with a sponge andscrub any remaining deposits with an oldtoothbrush. The same approach can be used to remove buildup on a showerhead.

The fizzing combo of vinegar and bakingsoda can unclog and remove odor from a tubdrain. Pour half a cup of baking soda in thedrain, then follow with two cups of hot vinegar.Immediately plug the drain with a rag to keepthe bubbles contained for 10 minutes. Rinse by pouring a kettle of boiling hot water downthe drain.

Spray shower doors with vinegar after you’vesqueegeed the glass – or before you turn on thewater – to help release hard water deposits.

Clean shower door tracks by filling themwith vinegar and letting it sit for a few hours.Pour hot water into the tracks and scrub awayany remaining film with a toothbrush.

To make the toilet bowl sparkle, pour in acup or more of vinegar and let it sit for severalhours or overnight. Scrub well with the toiletbrush and flush.

Remove old bathtub decals with vinegarheated in the microwave.

In the Laundry RoomRemove coffee and tea stains by flushing the area with vinegar, rinsing and repeating. For wine stains, saturate the spot with vinegar andallow it to stand for several minutes. Then, washas normal. Tip: For more delicate fabrics or pre -caution, test on an inconspicuous part of thegarment first.

Restore yellowed clothing by soaking garmentsovernight in a solution of 12 parts warm water and one part vinegar. Wash them the followingmorning.

Soak new garments in a few cups of vinegar for10-15 minutes before washing to stop dyes fromrunning in the wash.

If frequent ironing has left your iron plate dirty,make a paste from one part vinegar and one partsalt to scrub it clean.

Remove scorch marks from an iron by rubbingit with a warm solution of equal parts vinegar andsalt. If that doesn’t work, use a cloth dampenedwith vinegar.

Forgot that you left wet laundry in the machineand it now smells moldy? Pour a few cups of vin -egar in the machine and wash the clothes in hotwater. Then run a normal cycle with detergent torinse the clothes.

Prevent lint from clinging to clothes by addinghalf a cup of vinegar to the wash cycle.

Vinegar is the acetic liquid that resultswhen a product containing sugar is allowedto ferment. Vinegar can be created fromnearly any product containing sugar; fruitand grains, such as barley and corn, arecommon sources of vinegar.

The ingredients in vinegar depend on the type of vinegar produced. For exam ple,Four Monks uses distilled vinegar proc -essed from corn, so it’s safe for yourfamily. All vinegars are diluted with water to the preferred acidity before bottling.Four Monks has 6 percent acidity, which is20 percent stronger than tradi tional vinegar,but gentle on everyday surfaces. This aceticquality is what enables vinegar to effectivelyclean while being safe for the body and theenvironment.
