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

Guest Columnist

“Indefensible Resistance ” -by Bob Perry The partial government shutdown has provided opportunities for both parties to negotiate a resolution to the impasse and has produced defi ant indefensi-ble resistance from the Senate and the President. Believing they have the upper hand in the situation, the Ma-jority Leader Harry Reid stated in no uncertain terms that no legislation from the House would be taken up that was not a clean CR (Continuing Resolution) without any strings attached. The President has made the same decla-ration and there is chaos in Washington. The Republicans in the House started playing the game of sending selective appropriation bills without any strings attached to the Senate with what is be-ing perceived as an indefensible rejec-tion of those bills. Normally, appropri-ation bills are created individually and sent to the Senate for approval, but, the CR is an attempt to lump outstanding bills to keep the government function-ing for a specifi c period of time. Note that had Congress done its job and produced a budget, we would NOT have the shutdown. Not only do we need a budget, we need a balanced budget

each and every year to know where we stand and where we are going fi scally. Note that Majority Leader Harry Reid has been the primary block for fi ve (5) years in the Senate for this to happen. A budget is required by law, but, there seems to be no accountability in the criminal acts of elected offi cials. In creating the indefensible rhetoric and acts, the Senate and President have exposed their underbelly and are right-ly receiving growing condemnation by the electorate for not being considerate for the likes of the veterans and memo-rials, both here and abroad. Going beyond the pale, the Adminis-tration has directed the barricading of privately funded parks and historical sites like Mount Vernon trying to make the public feel the pain. Remember the President promised it would be painful. The Republicans will win this public relations battle and there will be signif-icant fallout for the Democrats in the 2014 election cycle. Things need to change in Washington and I will start writing some possible solutions.

The Bradford Area High School home-coming parade, held this year on Fri-day, October 4th, with all its fl oats and all the participation by the school age children was, as always, a joy to cover. We began, as usual this year, in the forma-tion area were we were free to pose the midget football and cheerleading teams on their trucks and in their trailers. In addi-tion we were able to obtain more detailed photographs of the thematic high school fl oats and the students populating them. During the parade we captured many pho-tos of those watching the event as well as the parade itself. Once again, most of the photos taken for this event are found in the gallery along with seven short vid-eos of the parade………. On Saturday, October 5th we attended the 10th An-nual Child Abuse Prevention Bowling Expo held at Byllye Lanes in Bradford. There we photographed various notables at the reception table and on the lanes, as well participants who stopped in to take advantage of some great entertainment at a modest price, while making a dona-tion to the Exchange Club’s agenda-Child Abuse Prevention……..Also included in this issue are a couple photos taken at this year’s Pumpkin Fest that took place in downtown Bradford, Sunday, October 6th………Our “It’s Time to Winterize” special can be found on page 9 of this issue. Participating on the special are Cavallaro’s “How YA Brewing”, Burns & Burns Associates, Inc, Dexter’s Ser-vice & Collision, Man’s World, Hedlund Glass, Tasta Pizza, The New Keystone, and Timeless Treasures gift shop........Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged tells a story re-garding the evils of societal controls in general and government control over business activity in particular. In fact, if we were to believe her sorry story, the whole of western civilization will even-tually be destroyed through government laws that control industry. Government control, she says, destroys the profi t mo-tive, and when that happens, those with the wealth pick up their money and go home. And as simple minded as this fear monger-ing was in 1957, at the time the book was written, in a world where wealth was even then becoming more abstract, and home was becoming more than just a singular geographical location, by the late eighties, it is hard for us to believe that people in government, pandering to this same fear, were able to begin the dismantling of laws that kept burgeoning industry, wealth, and greed under control. By the late nineties, the repeal of the Glass Steagal Act, would show just how wrong her ideas were. Within 10 years, as even more strong con-trols were dropped, industry not only dis-appeared from our shores but also existing U.S. wealth became dangerously diluted with bad paper.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESLower Income? Don’t Pass up the Saver’s Credit

-by Jason Alderman In 2002, Congress passed legislation to create an income tax credit designed to encourage lower- and middle-income people to save money for retirement. The saver’s credit, worth up to $1,000 a year for individuals ($2,000 for cou-ples fi ling jointly), rewards people for contributing to an IRA or 401(k) plan. Regrettably, the people most likely to benefi t from the saver’s credit are also those who can usually least afford to set aside money for retirement. It doesn’t help that only one-quarter of people earning less than $50,000 even know the credit exists. But if you can squeeze a few dollars out of your budget, the saver’s credit is worth pursuing. Tax credits reduce the amount of income tax paid, dollar for dollar; so many low-income people can recoup the amount they contribute to retirement accounts by up to 50 per-cent through reduced taxes. And those whose employers match a portion of their 401(k) contributions reap even bigger rewards. Another good selling point: Parents or grandparents who want to jumpstart their low-income kids’ retirement sav-ings can fund their IRA or 401(k) con-tribution, thereby making them eligible for the saver’s credit even if they can’t afford to contribute on their own. Here’s the nitty-gritty on the saver’s credit: The saver’s credit is a “nonrefundable”tax credit, which means it reduces income taxes owed, dollar for dollar – although it won’t generate a tax refund if the credit is more than the taxes you owe. The saver’s credit helps offset part of the amount you voluntarily con-tribute to an IRA or 401(k) plan. Your credit amount is based on your tax fi l-ing status, adjusted gross income and the amount you contribute to qualifying retirement programs. It can be claimed by: • Married couples fi ling jointly with adjusted gross income (AGI) of no more than $59,000. • Heads of households with AGI up to $44,250. • Singles (or married fi ling sepa-rately) with AGI up to $29,500. The credit rate is 10 percent, 20 per-cent or 50 percent of the fi rst $2,000 you contribute ($4,000 for married couples fi ling jointly), depending on your AGI; the lower your AGI the higher the per-centage. For example: • Single fi lers with an AGI up to $17,500 receive a 50 percent credit on

the fi rst $2,000 they contribute (i.e., up to a $1,000 credit); 20 percent on AGI up to $19,250 ($200 credit); and 10 per-cent on AGI up to $29,500 ($100 cred-it). Anything over $29,500, you don’t qualify. • For joint fi lers the credit amount limits are: 50 percent on up to $35,500 AGI (50% X $4,000 = $2,000); 20 per-cent on up to $38,500 ($800); and 10 percent on up to $59,000 ($400).Other eligibility rules: • You must be at least age 18. • You can’t be claimed as a de-pendent on someone else’s return. • You can’t have been a full-time student during any part of fi ve calendar

months in 2013. • You must contribute to a 401(k) by December 31, 2013, or to an IRA by April 15, 2014. Important Note: You cannot claim the credit using IRS Form 1040 EZ, the form many lower-income people fi le. To claim it, you must submit IRS Form 8880 with Form 1040, 1040A or 1040NR. It’s a little extra bookkeeping, but could be worth the effort. Saving money for the future is never easy, especially when you’re struggling to pay daily bills. But if you can some-how manage to take advantage of the saver’s credit now, you’ll thank your-self at retirement.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDETaking A Stand Against Obesity

(NAPSI)—Across the nation, par-ents are taking a stand against obesity and the unhealthy eating habits that have become common in our homes. More and more parents are seeing that what they eat has an effect on their kids’ health. This movement for healthy change is helping to make sure our kids have a healthy future. Research shows that kids whose parents are overweight or obese are at a higher risk for becom-ing obese themselves. In fact, a study in The Journal of Pediatrics found that four in fi ve obese youths with an obese parent will become obese adults. Eating right is a great way to get your family on the road to a healthy life. And making half your plate fruits and vegetables and being physically ac-tive every day can help you get there. And it may also help lower the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The sooner you start making healthy changes, the better! Try some of these tips from the Network for a Healthy California, which works to empower everyone to lead healthier, more active lives. Use these tips to help get your family on the way to better health. Tips to Help Take a Stand Against Obesity • Set a healthy example. Your kids pay attention to what you do more than what you say. Show your kids that you eat and enjoy vegetables at every meal and they are likely to follow your lead. • Cut down on the amount of sugar and salt you eat. Look at nutrition labels to make healthier choices. Flavor your meals with herbs, lemon juice or natural spices and seasonings instead of salt. • Limit the number of times your fam-ily eats out each week to save on calories and money. When you do eat out, pick lower-calorie meals. Grilled items, salads and fruit cups are all great choices. • Make sure your family moves every day for a healthier life. Try a few fun ac-tivities the family can enjoy together, such as taking a walk each night after dinner or dancing around the house. • Take a stand against obesity. Healthy eating and activity help reduce the risk of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Studies published in the Annals of Inter-nal Medicine show that having a normal weight reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 60 to 70 percent.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I’m using a pedometer to track my walking. If I start bicycling, is there a way to translate biking time into steps to include in my daily step count? A: Actually, you can clip your pedom-eter on to your shoe when biking, and your biking can be added right in to your step count. Use the extra clip or safety loop to anchor it to your sock or shoelace to decrease the chance of it falling off. That will give you a more accurate picture of how cycling is adding to your physical activity than trying to convert time you spend cycling into steps to add to your daily total. Depending on how you cycle, you’ll fi nd that the step count or cycling stroke count may be different when walk-ing or cycling the same distance. Many people fi nd it’s lower when they cycle, which refl ects how much time they spend coasting without pedaling. On the other hand, if you are with a group or indoor cy-cling class that has periods in which you pedal intensively, you may fi nd you get in more strokes than when you walk at a moderate pace. The “step” you are taking of boosting physical activity is among the most effective ways to reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and weight gain. And you get all this while promoting overall health, energy and sleep quality! Research strongly supports walking as a

form of activity to reach all these benefi ts, yet adding in some other forms of activ-ity can add still more to the benefi ts you receive by working muscles a little dif-ferently, for example. Using a pedometer has been linked with success at increasing physical activity, especially when you set goals and track your progress. So congrat-ulations on many smart “steps” to good health!

Experts Say Cooking With Kids Can Benefit Food Choices (NAPSI)—For many parents of young children, introducing healthy foods can be a struggle. A recent na-tional survey reported that parents be-lieve that the media has a negative infl u-ence on their children’s eating habits.* The Pampered Chef®, in partnership with the Family Resiliency Center, has found that cooking together helps cre-ate family traditions and teaches chil-dren to make healthier selections. “Involving children in the mealtime process can have a positive impact on their food choices,” explains Dr. Bar-bara Fiese, Professor and Director of the Family Resiliency Center at the University of Illinois. “Children who learn cooking skills and help with gro-cery shopping are more likely to enjoy nutritious foods, like fruits and vegeta-bles.” The Pampered Chef, the largest di-rect seller of kitchen tools, is committed to helping these families come together around the table each night. Through its partnership with the Family Resil-iency Center, they have developed tips that make it easier to include kids in the mealtime process.• Reduce screen time. Cut down on children’s exposure to food advertis-ing by limiting screen time, including game and entertainment websites that promote unhealthy foods.• Start the conversation. Talk to chil-dren before and during grocery shop-ping about what are healthy foods and why you are buying them. Help older children read and understand food la-bels.• Involve everyone. Kids as young as 2 can help with mealtime preparations, such as cleaning counters and tables and helping with napkins and utensils. Older children can mix and measure in-gredients and read recipes.• Make it fun. Use your time in the kitchen together to talk about how foods look, smell and feel. Children learn best when they can utilize all their senses.• Create memories. Share family stories about learning to cook, while spending time together in the kitchen.• Make mealtimes that are quick, sim-ple and affordable. Try this family-friendly recipe for Korean BBQ Pork with Crunchy Wontons, which replaces rice with crisp wontons made in the mi-crowave:

Korean BBQ Pork with Crunchy Wontons

Ingredients:16 square wonton wrappers (3 in./7.5 cm)1 jalapeño pepper, seeded2 medium carrots, peeled

1 large red bell pepper1 medium onion1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb/450 g), trimmed3 garlic cloves1½ Tbsp (22 mL) canola oil, divided1 cup (250 mL) snow peas, trimmed3 green onions, cut into 1?-in. (4-cm) pieces½ cup (125 mL) Korean BBQ Sauce¼ cup (50 mL) apple jellyAdditional sliced green onion for gar-nish (optional)

1. Stack wontons and cut them into ¼-in. (6-mm) strips with Chef’s Knife. Separate strips and place in Small Ridged Baker. Lightly spray them with canola oil using Kitchen Spritzer and toss to coat. 2. Microwave strips, uncovered, on HIGH 3−4 minutes or until they begin to brown, stirring every minute. Spread strips over Parchment Paper to cool. 3. Coarsely chop jalapeño using Food Chopper. Cut carrots lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into thirds. 4. Cut off top of bell pepper and scoop out seeds. Wedge pepper using Veggie Wedger and cut wedges cross-wise into thirds. Wedge onion; cut wedges crosswise in half. 5. Slice pork lengthwise into four strips. Cut strips crosswise into ¼-in. (6-mm) pieces. Mix pork and garlic pressed with Garlic Press in Classic Batter Bowl. 6. Heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of the oil in 11- or 12-in. (28- or 30-cm) Skillet over medium-high heat 1−3 minutes or until shimmering. 7. Cook pork without stirring 3−5

minutes or until browned. Stir pork and cook 1−2 minutes; remove it from Skil-let. 8. Add remaining ½ Tbsp (7 mL) oil to Skillet. Add vegetables; cook and stir 2−3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in pork, sauce and jelly; cook 1−2 minutes or until heated through. 9. Divide wonton strips among serv-ing plates and top with pork mixture. Garnish with additional sliced green onion, if desired. Serves 6

Tips For Navigating This Year’s Health Insurance Open Enrollment Season (NAPSI)—Open enrollment is the time of year, usually between September and December, when millions of Americans have the opportunity to select or switch their health insurance plan for the follow-ing year. Unfortunately, just 14 percent of Amer-icans understand basic health insurance concepts such as deductible, co-pay, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximum, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Health Economics. “Choosing health care coverage for yourself and your family is one of the most important decisions you will make this year,” said Tom Paul, chief consumer offi cer for UnitedHealthcare. “Fortunate-ly, there are a number of useful resources people can use as they review and under-stand their options for selecting the plan that best meets their personal health and budget needs.” Beginning this fall, the Congressional Budget Offi ce estimates that an additional 7 million people may participate in open enrollment as a result of the government’s newly created state health insurance ex-changes, otherwise known as “market-places.” The exchanges are a component of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and are designed to give people, especially lower-income in-dividuals and families that may qualify for federal subsidy assistance, another re-source to purchase health insurance. In general, most people who get health insurance at work will see little or no change in the open-enrollment process, and people on Medicare, Medicaid and

other government insurance programs are also not likely affected. The vast major-ity of Americans—about 157 million with employer-provided coverage, and more than 51 million Medicare benefi ciaries—will continue to select a health insurance plan in the same way they have done in the past. Regardless of how you access health insurance, it’s important to pay attention to the following open enrollment dates and tips: • Employer-Provided Coverage—Fall; specifi c dates depend on the employer Most Americans receive employer-provided health benefi ts, so their open en-rollment process will most likely stay the same. Large employers and some small employers typically schedule a two- to

three-week period during the fall when their employees can select health benefi ts for the following year. • Tip: Ask about wellness programs. Some health insurers, including United-Healthcare, offer incentive-based well-ness programs that provide fi nancial re-wards for completing health assessments, lowering your cholesterol, losing weight or even signing up for a health coaching program. • Medicare Open Enrollment Period—Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 For most Medicare benefi ciaries, the Open Enrollment Period is their only op-portunity all year to make changes to their Medicare coverage. • Tip: Think about what’s changed re-garding your health and your options. A lot can change in a year. Consider if your cur-rent plan is still meeting your health and budget needs. Medicare plans can change each year, too, so spend time reviewing the options available. Some Medicare Ad-vantage plans offer additional benefi ts that can help enhance your health and well-be-ing and save you money, such as vision coverage and hearing aids. You can com-pare your options using the plan fi nder tool at www.Medicare.gov. • Health Insurance Exchanges—Oct. 1 through March 31 A public health insurance exchange may be a good option for people who are eligible to receive a government subsidy that lowers monthly premiums. • Tip: Find out if you qualify for a sub-sidy. In general, subsidies are available to individuals who meet household income requirements and who are not eligible for certain government insurance programs (such as Medicaid) or do not have access to affordable coverage through their em-ployer.

Answer Two Questions To See If You Need A Water Softener (NAPSI)—If you don’t have a water softener in your home, you might not real-ize the effect it can have on your quality of life. Fact is, today’s high-effi ciency water softeners can substantially lower water and electricity costs while making water-using appliances more effi cient. Other benefi ts include:• Sparkling dishes• Shinier hair• Softer skin• Brighter, softer laundry• Better-tasting water. Not everyone with hard water is aware of those benefi ts, however. Your answers to two simple questions can help you de-termine whether your home would benefi t from a water softener. Question 1: What does it cost to treat your water? You may be treating your water to counteract hardness with costly chemical-based products such as deter-gents, shampoos, fabric softeners or dish-washer rinse agents. While you’ll still need to buy these, with a water softener, you will need signifi cantly less. You may also eliminate costly repairs for other wa-ter-using appliances, like a water heater or dishwasher, and reduce plumbing bills. Question 2. What’s your home’s water quality? Certain signs indicate you may

need softer water. Have you noticed:• Soap scum in the shower or bathtub• Stains on your drinking glasses after a run through the dishwasher• Dingy, scratchy clothes• Dry skin and dull hair• Scale buildup on fi xtures• A “rotten egg” odor• A water heater that is leaking or produc-ing unstable water temperatures? A local water expert like a Culligan Man can conduct an in-home test for hard-ness, iron, copper, pH and alkalinity. Peo-ple with well water can have a Culligan Man send a sample to the company’s wa-ter laboratory, which is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accredita-tion Program and the U.S. EPA. Based on testing results, he can recommend a high-effi ciency water softener that meets your home’s specifi c needs, install it, service it, deliver materials and even fi ll your tank. You can also fi nd out about water qual-ity from a water utility, a water quality as-sociation or the U.S. EPA website at EPA.gov.

Consider A Recession Proof Career (NAPSI)—Did the Great Recession impact your employment success? For many, the economic turmoil opened their eyes to the risks of working in cer-tain industries. But at New York Life, a Fortune 100 company actively recruit-ing in your community, you can weath-er the ups and downs in the economy because the public’s need for fi nancial preparation is constant. As individuals get married, have children and care for elderly parents, insurance agents are there to provide fi nancial guidance and support—with each new life stage there are new fi nancial objectives to address for clients. Studies and demographics point to why the best time for life insurance agents is now—because Americans are doing far too little to prepare fi nancial-ly. A 2013 Life Insurance Gap survey by New York Life indicates that people have 41 percent less than they need in life insurance protection, and according to industry statistics, approximately 77 million households still need life insur-ance. Also, people are living longer, traditional pensions are disappearing, and savings rates are minimal. As the fi rst wave of the nation’s 77 million baby boomers reaches retirement, many Americans will be facing a new set of risks and investment decisions. In good economic times and bad, successful life insurance agents have a stable career, providing guidance to consumers about the right solutions to meet their needs. As a life insurance agent, you can earn a good living while creating your own work schedule and at the same time help individuals and families in

your community. You can have a ca-reer in which you are fairly compen-sated based on the hours and effort you put forth—with unlimited potential for growth—and you can do all this while enjoying a stimulating career. At New York Life, agents are of-fered comprehensive sales training and a wealth of marketing resources, as well as continuous support from a staff of experts for a lifetime of learning and professional development. And as an agent for New York Life, you are eli-gible for generous benefi ts. New York Life agents enjoy a career in which they work for themselves but with the sup-

port of an iconic national brand. Now more than ever, working for a fi nan-cially stable company is a smart career choice. Becoming an agent is a great op-portunity for recent college graduates, for those who are looking for a new professional challenge, or for those professional agents who may be seek-ing a company that’s stable and has the highest possible ratings for fi nancial strength. Many of the most successful agents were previously employed as nurses, teachers, coaches or entrepre-neurs involved in other business ven-tures. By learning new skills and ap-plying existing capabilities, you can become successful and satisfi ed life insurance professionals. It’s also an ex-tremely attractive career for women, and the number of women selling in-surance is rapidly growing. In addition, agents with diverse backgrounds are highly sought after to meet the needs of the growing number of individuals from various ethnic backgrounds. By empowering others to make the right fi nancial decisions for themselves and their families, new agents report an extraordinary new pride and fulfi llment in their jobs—unlike any other work they’ve done. Now may be the right time to consider a new career offering many opportunities to grow profession-ally and join New York Life’s prestig-ious national network of 12,250 agents.

Tinkering With Robots Improves Playtime Now, Sets Kids Up For Future Careers (NAPSI)—The phrase “child’s play” means something very different today than it did 10 years ago. Accord-ing to a report by the Institute for the Future called “Transformative Chang-es for Children at Play,” from 1981 to 2003, young people had nine less hours of free time per week—and they’ve got even less today. Their time is spent on-line and on devices—with access to an average of 12 apps at all times—and they are visually literate, preferring things like YouTube video instruction over reading articles. For that reason, it’s important that children make the most of the playtime they do have, pursuing things that not only excite, engage and entertain, but that also make them think. “Today’s kids have different expec-tations about the interactivity of their toys and the ability to fl uidly combine online and off-line experiences as they play. They are incorporating personal touches and design preferences into their playthings. Their desire for deep personalization and self-expression gets fulfi lled when they are able to cre-ate their own toys,” said Lyn Jeffery, Institute for the Future research direc-tor. Tinkering with robots is a great way to give children the fl exibility and crea-tive control they crave. Robotics helps increase focus, improves fi ne motor and problem-solving skills, promotes independence, and builds confi dence. To put it simply, in a Wired.com in-terview, Javier Movellan, an associate professor affi liated with the University of California at San Diego’s Machine Perception Laboratory, said that robots can help “to raise happier and smarter children.” Since its launch in 1998, LEGO MINDSTORMS has been seen by fans as the pinnacle “smart toy.” In the 15 years since, the renowned platform has driven the growth of the consumer robotics category and helped inspire the Maker Movement by encouraging hands-on play and an unprecedented level of tinkering by leveraging the fa-miliar medium of LEGO building. From the bricks themselves to programming software that mimics clicking behav-iors together just like building a LEGO set, sophisticated robotics has become “child’s play.” As a result, the MIND-STORMS community quickly grew to over 50,000 members with over 15,000 creations, from a giant chess set to a pancake maker to a fl ying blimp. To newbies, the Maker Movement can be overwhelming. Here are some tips for getting children as young as 8 interested in tinkering: Get Inspired by the Big Dogs. Just

as active kids look up to professional sports players, young makers can get stars in their eyes for the guys creating bots in their garages. Make magazine’s list of Ten Makers You Should Be Fol-lowing on Twitter is a great start for showing kids that tinkerers are heroes, too. Tinker Together. Spend a Saturday taking apart old printers or DVD play-ers to see how things work-just make sure to set an example and promote safety fi rst, only dismantling items you’re very familiar with. Join a Team. Hundreds of thousands of school and after-school teams take part in international engineering and robotics competitions each year, going head to head in fun robotics challenges that are educational, collaborative, so-cial and fun. Find groups in your area at www.fi rstlegoleague.org. Build a Bot. Look for a versatile toolkit that fosters robotic tinkering, such as MINDSTORMS EV3. Rede-signed to excite and challenge a gen-eration that has grown up in a technol-ogy- and mobile-driven world, the set includes everything kids need to create and command robots that walk, talk, think and do just about anything they

can imagine. Instructions for fi ve hero models and 12 bonus models help kids get comfortable before they tinker on their own. You never know; what may start as a childhood hobby may blossom into a full-blown career. Many of today’s leading companies employ adults who grew up tinkering and credit their play experiences as the reason for their ca-reer passions. “I consider myself a maker and at-tribute the time and encouragement I was given to tinker to my career suc-cess today,” said Lasse Stenbæk Lau-esen, a software and applications de-veloper. “Never would I have thought that my love of building combined with a knack for technology when I was young would mean I’d be designing ro-botic solutions for my job, but that’s the thing with robotics: They let children explore their creativity while develop-ing skills that may lead them to future career paths—all while having a good time and using their imagination.” The Institute for the Future’s other Transformative Changes for Children at Play insights can be found at:
