McKean County Bridge Replacements Meeting Cancelled (Clearfi eld, PA) A public meeting that was scheduled for March 24 at the Port Allegheny Fire Department Ban-quet Hall to discuss bridge reconstruc-tion on SR 155 has been cancelled. The construction company that will do the work wants to take more time to de-velop and evaluate alternative plans for handling emergency vehicle traffi c during the fi ve weeks the bridges are scheduled to be closed. Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP), the company that will be re-placing 17 McKean County bridges over the next two years, scheduled the meeting to provide information and get public input on three bridges planned for 2017 and one scheduled for this

summer. Organizers have now decided to postpone the meeting until a solution to getting emergency vehicles around the closure could be developed and ex-plained to local residents and emergen-cy responders. All four of the bridges planned for discussion are along SR 155 from the Potter County line to north of Turtle-point. The bridge replacements are part of the Rapid Bridge Replacement Pro-ject, a Public-Private Partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP) under which PWKP will fi nance, design, re-place and maintain the bridges for 25 years. As part of PWKP, Walsh/Gran-ite JV will oversee construction. The P3 approach will allow PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving signifi cant savings and mini-mizing impact on motorists. To see the bridges included in the statewide initiative and to learn more about the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project and P3 in Pennsylvania, visit www.P3forPA.pa.gov.

“Unrest Growing ”-by Bob Perry

The increasing contention being created in the campaigns for the nominations for the upcoming presidential election are dis-turbing but expected. The Donald Trump campaign rally which was cancelled in Chicago over con-cerns of strife, potential injuries and ar-rests turned out to be a concerted effort by protestors to deny the rally speakers the First Amendment Right to speak. No-tably there were numerous protestors that infi ltrated the rally posing a security issue. The rally was being held at the University of Illinois at Chicago and it begs the wis-dom of holding such a rally on a university campus in the fi rst place since free speech on campuses has suffered at the efforts of protestors who strive to disallow opinions they do not side with. For years notable speakers who have a conservative agenda have been turned away from speaking at campuses through the efforts of objectors. The efforts by those who disagree to shut down free speech seemingly do not see the direction in which civil unrest is being pushed. On the previous day Trump held a rally at the Peabody Opera House in St Louis where there was violence with 32 peo-ple arrested and this incident prompted the cancellation of the Chicago event. Should the voting age change to align with a known ability of individuals to reason and foresee consequences before fulfi lling their ability to derail this demo-cratic republic? The huge support by the

young of a socialist running for president is a signal of danger. The efforts of oppo-nents of Trump’s have put forth a some-what unifi ed attack, except John Kasich, to somehow prevent Donald Trump from becoming the no nominee and notably this effort has produced support that has been disrupting some of Trump’s events. Equating Trump to Hitler is proving to incite people and it places those who un-fairly create this impression partly at fault for some of the growing unrest. The sleep-ing giant that will produce unrest that will pale anything happing now is the econom-ic turndown that may occur and it appears to be close at hand. All who have had a hand in directing the fi scal policies and spending over decades share a responsi-bility in the state our Federal Government fi nds itself in. With an economic turndown that is major will fi nd money in shorter supply producing runs on banks affecting the supply. If banks institute negative in-terest rates on savings we will surely see withdrawing funds in such accounts. With all this happening the food supply will be affected and shortages would come quickly as any city has but a three-day supply on hand. Each of us should have at least a month’s supply of food available for backup. There is little doubt that unrest will grow as the year progresses and expect the un-expected. Are we in for an October sur-prise again this election year?

Mary DePalma outdid herself once again this last week, with photo submis-sions from fi ve different locations in-cluding, Limestone, East Bradford, Brad-ford, Crosby, and Mr. Jewett: On March 16th she stopped at the Limestone Ameri-can Legion for a picture of a birthday cel-ebration; on St. Patty’s day, March 17th, she stopped at the Mt. Jewett Library, the Crosby Legion, and ended the day with some good coverage of the Girls’ Night Out YWCA benefi t held at the Bradford Club; and fi nally she stopped at the New Keystone bar and restaurant, March 19th, where a Bradford Dart League end-of-the-season party was going on. In addi-tion, Mary was able to capture a photo of the smaller of the two transformers being transported to Penelec’s (1st Energy) new installation at Pierce Brook Substation. According to Mary, this photo was meant to show the enormity of such transform-ers in relation to an adult person, and this was the smaller of the two being used in the project……..A benefi t will be held for Les VanGorder, a tragic automobile victim, Saturday, April 2nd from Noon to 4 PM upstairs at the Bradford Ameri-can Legion. Mark your calendars for the Saturday following Easter, to help out with this worthwhile event. There will be Raffl es, 50-50’s, Chinese Auctions, Food and Music, and of course, plenty of great people with which to socialize.……..Years ago, we included in this col-umn, articles from an organization known as the National Motorist As-sociation (now known as the NMA). They advocated against the 55 mph National Maximum Speed Law until it was repealed in 1995, following which, they worked to improve the traffi c jus-tice system by encouraging motorists to challenge all traffi c tickets in court. For example the NMA offered to pay the fi nes for members who challenged their speeding tickets in court and were subsequently found guilty. Our reason for bringing this organization to our readers attention once more, is that the NMA had maintained over the last 35 years that their studies showed that a “safe” speed was better refl ected by the average speed of the drives along a giv-en roadway, than the posted (read po-litically motivated) speed limits. While many States, including Pennsylvania ignored their studies, this state has fi -nally conceded to the ancient wisdom of the NMA. Following an eighteen month study along PA’s Interstate 80, where the speed limit was raised from 65mph to 70mph, they found that while there was no average increase in speed by drivers, there was actually a decrease in the number of traffi c accidents.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES6 Tips For Planning A Property-Sharing Vacation If you’ve thought about renting prop-erty on vacation, keep in mind that it’s become a lot easier – and in some ways, harder. Much of the vacation rental process has moved online, making the process simpler and more accessible. Also, the so-called “sharing economy” has allowed more peo-ple in the lodging business renting rooms and dwellings. In fact, a 2015 study by consulting fi rm EY notes that in one year alone, the world’s dominant online room-sharing company – less than 10 years old – added more listings to its inventory than the largest global hotel companies added rooms during the same period. So vacation rentals are easier than ever, right? Possibly, but you still need to pro-tect your money against disappointing choices and possible fraud. Before com-mitting to any kind of property rental or property-sharing vacation, do your home-work. Here are fi ve tips to get started: 1. Evaluate your destination fully. The busiest tourist destinations generally have the broadest range of lodging options – from luxury hotels to hostels. Vacation rentals are usually a happy medium, lo-cated in desirable neighborhoods with a homey feel and kitchen availability that can make a stay a lot cheaper. However, every destination has certain ways of han-dling vacation rentals. While the newer generation of property-sharing companies might be active here, evaluate traditional options like vacation property brokers and listing services to compare prices and of-ferings. Also, search the name and address of the vacation property you’re consider-ing with the words “vacation rental scam” to see if any indication of fraud, crime or other trouble turns up. 2. Check local short-term rental laws. While it’s generally easier to do this do-mestically than abroad, make sure the kind of vacation rental you’re considering is legal. Check recent news clips or con-tact a local tourism bureau or chamber of commerce to see whether your target mu-nicipality doesn’t have legal or zoning re-strictions on your chosen rental. 3. Verify the renter personally and with local experts and agencies. If your renter is reputable, he or she should be more than willing to have a detailed conversa-tion about the property, costs, fi nancial arrangements and onsite rules – includ-ing deadbolt locks you can control if you are renting rooms within their residence. Make time to call the local tourism bureau, chamber of commerce, or the local chap-ter of the Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org) 4. for any details about the renter or the property. Ask the renter for referrals from

previous renters, if possible, and consider the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Scam Watch travel page (https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/taxonomy/term/877 ) for extensive updated advice on renting out-of-town property. 5. Ask for all completed agreements and liability insurance documentation be-fore paying. Before you reserve, ask to see all contract information with pricing and scheduling information fi lled in as well as proof of insurance on the rental prop-erty. You should understand all payment and property rules affecting your stay and what might happen if there is accidental damage to the property while you’re there. Share these documents with your home or rental insurer for input before you sign. If a renter hesitates to share this information, you might want to consider other options. Also, review your personal health, prop-erty and liability coverage to make sure you’re protected during the trip. 6. Weigh all spending risks of the rental transaction. If you’re planning to rent va-cation property, take the extra step of call-ing your credit card and travel insurance companies to determine whether they offer any particular protections in case something goes wrong with the rental. It’s a good way to review the full range of protection available to you on any out-of-town trip. And if a vacation landlord asks for advance cash payment – particularly wired money – be very cautious. Many travel scams begin with wired cash. Bottom line: Planning an upcoming vacation? Before you commit to a vaca-

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—At a checkup, often, the fi rst thing your health care provider does is check your blood pressure—and for good reason. High blood pressure is the lead-ing cause of death in the United States, affecting nearly one in three adults—but you can control it. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a serious condition that increases a person’s risk for heart attack, stroke, and kidney and heart failure. Of-ten, high blood pressure has no signs or symptoms. Managing Your Risks People at an increased risk of devel-oping hypertension include those whose blood pressure is at the high end of the nor-mal range, African Americans, and people who are overweight or obese. Also, peo-ple are more likely to develop high blood pressure as they get older. Fortunately, there are many ways to manage high blood pressure and lower your risk of negative outcomes. Eating a healthy diet, losing weight, managing stress and getting more exercise are life-style changes that can make a big differ-ence for someone with high blood pres-sure. In addition, a primary care physician may prescribe medication to lower high blood pressure. If you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, you should talk to your doctor about treatment options and select a plan that works for you. Once Is Not Enough The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently reviewed the science on screening for high blood pressure and recommended such tests in adults age 18 years and older. Having a high blood pressure reading during a doctor’s examination does not al-ways mean a person actually has continu-ous high blood pressure. A blood pressure reading can be high for other reasons, such as:• Stress, emotion, pain, physical activity, caffeine consumption or nicotine use• Some people have high blood pressure only in a medical setting or around medi-cal staff, also known as “white coat hyper-tension”• An incorrect reading. Unless it is clear that treatment should begin right away (because of very high blood pressure, signs of organ damage, or a diagnosis of high blood pressure caused by another medical condition), the Task Force recommends that people who have a high blood pressure reading during their examination also take their blood pressure several times outside of the doctor’s offi ce to confi rm the diagnosis before starting treatment. There are two ways to confi rm high blood pressure outside of the offi ce. Your doctor may provide a wearable machine that automatically records your blood

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: What is a low glycemic index diet and does it help for weight loss? A: A food’s glycemic index (GI) refers to how it affects blood sugars shortly after it is eaten. The amount and type of carbohydrate in food, along with its fi ber and fat, affect how quickly the food’s carbohydrates are absorbed, which affects blood sugar. Fiber and fat slow down carbohydrate absorption. Foods that raise blood sugars more tend to be digested more quickly, and are said to have a high GI. An overall diet with more foods lower in glycemic index can lead to lower levels of insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar and also promotes storage of extra calories in body fat. However, a low glycemic index diet does not necessarily lead to long-term weight loss. In controlled clinical trials, when calorie level is kept the same, diets with an overall low glycemic index don’t lead to any greater weight loss, or body fat, than diets with an overall high glycemic index. To lose weight, start by looking for nutrient rich food swaps to reduce your overall calories. Just because a food has a low glycemic index doesn’t mean it’s a healthful or low calorie food. There are foods low in calories and glycemic index like leafy green vegetables and dry beans that are nutrient-rich and help create an overall healthy diet that can promote weight loss. If you want to experiment and see whether paying attention to foods’ glycemic index makes a difference for you, add that strategy to the more important steps of choosing more low calorie foods and taking smaller portions of high calorie foods.

Screening For High Blood Pressure

pressure every half hour. Or, he or she may suggest you use a home blood pres-sure monitor to take more readings. Your doctor will then look at these numbers to confi rm your high blood pressure diagno-sis and see if you need to begin treatment for high blood pressure. Anyone age 40 years and older and those who are at an increased risk for high blood pressure should be screened every year. People ages 18 to 39 years and those who do not have other risk factors should be screened every three to fi ve years.

First Transformer Almost At Installation Site

Photo by Mary DePalma The Mammoet Company Transportation Product Manager Farid-Ejel poses with the 96-wheel fl atbed truck along Pierce Brook Road, March 19th, carrying cargo for which he is responsible. It is loaded with the smaller of two transformers heading for Penelec’s (1st Energy’s) Pierce Brook Substation, just a short way down the road that will help support a 230 kV transmission line installation. The second, and larger transformer is scheduled to be delivered to the same site on March 24fh. Farid says that the transpor-tation of valuable products of this size requires a good deal of planning to insure both timely and safe delivery and public safety.

Route 155 Project To Resume (Port Allegany, PA) – The Pennsyl-vania Department of Transportation re-sumed its Route 155 project in the Port Allegany area on Monday, March 21. The 8-mile project stretches from the Route 155 bridge at the southern end of Port Allegany to the Cameron County line. The improvements will provide motorists with a smoother road sur-face and also keep a Route 155 bridge in Port Allegany in service for years to come. Initial work this spring will address drainage upgrades, with replacement of the bridge’s superstructure set to start in April. The bridge work will be done under a half-width restriction which will require an alternating traffi c pat-tern across the bridge. The single-lane pattern will be enforced by temporary traffi c signals. The temporary traffi c signals will be installed April 4 and will be on fl ash mode for a week. The sig-nals will be fully operational on April 11, when the alternating pattern begins. Once work starts on the bridge and the temporary signals control traffi c fl ow, drivers will encounter travel de-

lays. The bridge carries and average of more than 1,300 vehicles each day. IA Construction Corporation of Franklin, PA is the contractor on this $8 million job, which is expected to last until late September. Overall work on this project will include drainage im-provements, paving, guide rail updates, and the superstructure replacement.

Second Super Load Transport Set Near Port Allegany (Port Allegany, PA) – The Pennsyl-vania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is alerting area motorists that Mammoet USA NE Corp. will transport a second transformer super load on Thursday, March 24 along Route 155 and Route 6 in the Port Al-legany area. The transformer will follow the same route as the fi rst transport of March 17, traveling from a rail siding about two miles north of the SR 155 and SR 6 intersection near Port Allegany to the Pierce Brook Substation, located at 983 Pierce Brook Road in Keating Town-ship. Weather permitting, the transport

is expected to start around 9 A.M. and last as late as 5 P.M. The transformer will travel south on Route 155 to Route 6, turning right onto Route 6 and then travel west on Route 6 until it reaches Pierce Brook Road. It will then travel north to the Pierce Brook Substation site. Route 155 will be closed from the rail siding to the Route 6 intersection. Once the super load is on Route 6, Route 155 will be opened and Route 6 will then be closed from Port Allegany to Pierce Brook Road. Routes 155 and 6 will not be closed at the same time. The transformer will be transported

on a dual-lane trailer that will take up both lanes of Route 155 and Route 6, requiring consecutive, full closures on Route 155 and Route 6. Drivers should expect signifi cant delays during the transport and are encouraged to fi nd alternate routes through this area. Roadway message boards will be in place prior to this activity to alert driv-ers of the coming closures and traffi c delays. Pennsylvania State Police will accompany the transport to enhance safety.

Tax Extension Facts (NAPSI)—The IRS has good news, bad news and better news for many tax-payers. The good news: You may be able to get an extension and fi le your taxes as late as October 17. The IRS knows sometimes you just can’t and that information needed to fi le a return, such as a Schedule K-1 or Form 1099, may not arrive in time. The bad news: You still have to pay your taxes by April 18. The better news: An extension lets you

take advantage of any retroactive changes to the tax law that might be made, without having to fi le an amendment. Plus, some people believe fi ling an extension reduces your risk of being audited, since the long-er a fi le is in the system, the longer the IRS has to look at it. Here’s further advice on making the most of an extension situation. Expert Advice “If fi ling your return by April 18 of this year just isn’t going to happen, there are

actually several ways you can request an automatic extension of time to fi le an indi-vidual return,” explains Terry Durkin, an enrolled agent (EA) and president of the National Association of Enrolled Agents. “You can e-fi le the ‘Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return,’ which can be found on the IRS website (Form 4868), or you can print that application out and mail it to the IRS. If you e-fi le Form 4868, do not also send a paper Form 4868. “If fi ling an extension on your tax re-turn, remember that you still must pay any amount owed by April 18 and mail it to the IRS,” she adds. “All or part of your estimate of the income tax due can be paid with a credit or debit card or by using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System.” You can fi nd a list of service providers on Form 4868 through which you can pay your tax debt by phone or Internet. You can also fi nd an EA nearby in the searcha-ble “Find an EA” directory at www.eatax.org. Only EAs, CPAs and attorneys have unlimited rights to represent you before the IRS. An EA can act as your agent be-fore administrative levels of the IRS and talk to or meet with the IRS in your stead. Learn More:For further facts, call 855-880-6232.

NEW BIG SELECTION!




Something about warmer weather inspires home owners tolavish attention on their homes. While painting and declut -tering are great ways to revitalize home decor, there’s nobetter way to breathe new life into interior spaces thandecorating with light.

Incorporating light into interior design can go far beyond a fewstrategically placed, attractive lamps and some upgraded overheadlights. It’s possible to use both natural and artificial light ing tocomple ment other decor and architectural elements, and to create a brighter, upbeat mood that makes your home more enjoyable year-round.

Lighting typesEvery home needs a little of each of the following types of lighting tomeet your needs throughout the day:� Task lighting focuses light into a specific area, for tasks that require

more illumination.� Accent lighting shines a light on decorative

elements, such as art or architec tural features.� Ambient lighting provides general lighting for

everyday activities.� Natural lighting from above makes a home feel

open and inviting, while also providing balancedlight for reading, cooking and other every dayactivities.

Natural beauty plus improved air qualityThere’s no debating the benefits of natural lightfor boosting mood. Enhance day lighting bylightening up window treatments to allow for asmuch sunshine as possible. Choose fresh paintcolors that play well with the directional lightingand consider installing skylights in rooms whereadding windows isn’t practical or where morebalanced natural light can add drama and differ -entiate living spaces.

Adding skylights is a relatively low-cost, but high impact home improvement that can be accom -plished by a professional in a day or two or over a singleweek end. They not only enhance home decor, but deliverenergy-saving benefits as well. Fresh air skylights can helpreduce dependence on artificial lighting and mechanicalventilation, which saves money on electricity bills.

Skylights can work in concert with vertical windows toprovide improved passive ventilation that improves air qualityand energy efficiency. For example, Energy Star-qualifiedfresh air skylights, such as those at veluxusa.com, let youcircu late air in your home with flexible features to match your needs.

Manual and electric venting models are available, but top-of-the-line, solar-powered fresh air models offer all the featuresof modern, no-leak skylights plus significant savings onproduct and installation costs. They feature a solar panel thatcharges a hidden internal battery, which operates the controlsystem. These skylights require no wiring, making for easy and cost-effective installation. An integrated rain sensorautomatically closes the units in case of inclement weather and all Velux skylights offer three layers of water protection

backed by installation and no-leak warranties. A variety of light-filtering, light-blocking and light-controlling solar powered

blinds are also available in a mix of designer colors and patterns to enhance decorwhile improving skylight energy efficiency by as much as 45 percent. The sky -lights, as well as the blinds, are operated by a program mable remote control andare eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit, as are installation costs.

Lightening colorsSome hues absorb more light, making them appear darker and causing the room to look dark as well. Fresh paint brightens any room, but to amplify the effectchoose lighter, less intense colors such as pastels, whites and grays. Rememberthat colors appear truer when they are awash in natural light.

Continue the color upgrade through key decorating elements, such asupholstery fabric, accent rugs, window treatments and wall art. Replace heavydrapes with translucent sheers that admit natural light and give rooms an airy,open feeling.

Upgrading other light sourcesWhile you take steps to maximize the amount of natural light that enters yourhome, artificial lighting will always be needed, whether at night or for a drearyday. Choose light fixtures – including floor and table lamps – that continue thebright, easy atmosphere you’ve already created with color and natural light.

Keep in mind the importance of layering light with a mix of sources throughouta room and choose lighting styles that fit the room’s purpose. For example, inkitchens where a lot of work gets done, overhead and under-counter lights providethe best illumination for cooking and other chores. In bedrooms, wall sconces andtable lamps provide softer, more soothing light.

Don’t overlook energy efficiency when you’re revamping your artificial lighting.You can boost your home’s energy efficiency by replacing old, electricity-guzzlingincandescent light bulbs with energy-sipping CFLs and LEDs.
