Cruisin’ Into Christmas Parade Area businesses, non-profi t organiza-tions, school bands, classic car owners, dance teams, and fi re departments are asked to please submit their registration forms for Bradford’s annual Cruisin’ into Christmas Parade as soon as pos-sible, but no later than the November 14th deadline. Forms may be picked up at and returned to the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce offi ce located at 121 Main Street Monday through Fri-day from 10am-4pm, or will be emailed by request to those interested in partici-pating. The Street Dreams Car Club, Brad-ford Area Chamber of Commerce and signature sponsor CNB Bank are mov-ing forward with plans to improve the Sixth Annual Cruisin’ into Christmas parade, which will be held on Friday, November 21st at 6 pm on Historic Main Street in downtown Bradford. One signifi cant change to this year’s pa-rade is the reversal of the parade route – instead of lining up in the high-traffi c area around Davis and Main Street, par-ticipants will report to Campus Drive for line up. The parade route will pro-ceed down Barbour Street to Mechanic Street, and then turn onto Main Street,

ending at Davis Street. Continuing a fun incentive that was initiated last year, cash prizes will be awarded for six different divisions: best holiday music arrangement by a school band, best holiday fl oat by a business, best holiday fl oat by a non-profi t or-ganization, best decorated classic car, best holiday arrangement by a dance team, and best decorated fi re truck. In each category, prizes will be $250 for 1st place and $100 for 2nd place. Questions regarding the parade may be addressed to Gary Hoy, President of the Street Dreams Car Club or Ron Or-ris, Executive Director of the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce.

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

Guest Columnist

“The MIDTERM Results” -by Bob Perry With a wave of unexpected results ac-cording to the polls, Republican candi-dates across the nation found their ways to victory. Notable was the number of Re-publican governors that found their way into state mansions. More notable were the gains made in the Senate where the Republicans gained control and the num-ber one criminal in Washington has been effectively fi red. The average age of the new Senate is to be 12 years less as the some older wood is being put out to pasture. Now if there is any real justice Harry Reid will fail to be elected as Minority Leader. Senator Reid has been rebuked by some outgoing Sen-ators for giving them nothing to run on. One rebuke stated in so much that a record of voting on anything was preferred and explainable to the electorate but having voted on nothing was indefensible which aided in their defeat. Being the obstructionist for legislation as he has been, he deserves being ignored. It appears that Nancy Palosi might well not be elected as Minority Leader in the House of Representatives as she has lost favor and this would be a breath of fresh air in House. Now that Congress will be controlled by Republicans, they must be-come united and work in a bipartisan way with all Democrats. This includes working with President Barack Hussein Obama,

who is now a lame duck with Congress being of the other party. But the question will he work with Congress; the one body of Congress he detests. In the aftermath of the shellacking, Obama called a meeting with Congres-sional leaders to make an attempt to avoid not being relevant. The luncheon on Fri-day last produced differences on immigra-tion that was a bit explosive. Obama, who had promised to get immigration passes in his fi rst year of his fi rst term and failed to do so, now says he has become impatient and has promised executive action. With not enough time to create and pass mean-ingful legislation, the Republican leaders requested more time. Vice President Joe Biden responded with wanting to know how much time they needed only to be cut off by Obama letting Joe that he needs to speak only when asked to. It is apparent that what will be accepta-ble by Obama most likely will not be what is presented to him to be signed into law and with tongue in cheek Obama said a law he would sign would supersede any executive action he would take. We shall see. Let’s hope for the best of outcomes, for somehow, Obama must fi nd something positive in the next two years for a legacy of honor and accomplishment.

In this issue of the Bradford Jour-nal, we have included a photo of the Fretz Owls football team, and allo-cated a good deal of additional space for comments saluting its great sea-son this year. Our thanks to all those who contributed with this submission to our paper. Keep it coming! In addi-tion, on November 10th, we stopped for the fi rst time in many weeks at School Street Elementary School and visited one fourth grade and two third grade classrooms. There, students were busy with language arts. And fi nally, to wind up the week, we attended the Bradford American Legion Post #108 Veteran’s Day Ceremonies in Veteran’s Square, November 11th where we took many pictures, four of which can be found on the pages of this edition. We suggest that our readers visit the photo gallery associated with this issue, to see more photos and videos taken during this well orchestrated Veteran’ s Day event…..,,,, Our Christmas Magic 2014 page begins in this issue. While the page is not complete, those partici-pating thus far are Timeless Treasures Gift Shop, Tasta Pizza, Bottorf Em-broidery, The New Keystone, Caval-laro’s Picture Framing, and How Ya Brewing Stores, Burns & Burns Asso-ciates, Inc., Dexter’s Service & Colli-sion, Bradford City Beers, and Brad-ford VFW & Vets Club……..A friend of ours recently suggested that the results of this months election, on the National Front, was an example of “Democracy in Action”. He said that the election confi rmed that it was the people’s will that both the House and the Senate be run by the Republican Party. But was it really the people’s will? For example only about 60% of U.S. Citizens are registered to vote, and less than 40% of them voted in the November elections. This means that about 24% of U.S. citizens made the decision about changing the composi-tion of the House or the Senate in this last election. To us, the election results hardly refl ect the will of the citizens of the U.S. but rather the will of a quarter of the population. And when we con-sider that about half of that 24%, voted for the Blues, and about half voted for the Reds, meaning that only about 12 plus% of our citizens were responsible for the results of the election. it would be improper to say that the results were the will of the “people”. While it can be asserted that more citizens could have registered to vote, and more of those registered could have voted, that’s a whole different argument.

On Feb. 17, 1943, in Irwin, she married William Clif-ford Hursh, who died May 22, 1993. She was a member of Abundant Life Assembly of God Church in Bradford and a former member of the United Church of Christ in Larimer. She worked as an offi ce manager for several apartment manage-ment companies. Surviving is one daughter, Penny (Rev. Philip) Palutro of Bradford; two sons, Blair William (Judy) Hursh of Seminole, Fla., and Larry C. (Linda) Hursh of Brad-ford; one sister, Margaret Claar of Apollo; one brother, Jay (Sandy) Watson in Flor-ida; eight grandchildren, 16 great-grand-children and several nieces and nephews.

Marion Helenbrook Marion L. Helenbrook, 95, of Bradford, passed away on Friday (Oct. 31, 2014) at her niece’s home in Sayre. She was born on Oct. 2, 1919 in Brad-ford Township on the Helenbrook Farm. She was the daughter of the late Ralph J. and Bessie Lucinda Jones Helenbrook.

Marion attended Custer City School for Grades 1 through 8 and she graduated from Bradford Area High School in 1937 as valedictorian. While attending high school she drove her Model T to school daily. Immediately after graduation, she was recommended by the principal to a local law fi rm. She was employed by Gallup, Potter and Gallup Law Firm for two years. Their offi ces were located in the Hooker Fulton Building on Main Street, Brad-ford. She was then recommended to Judge Charles G. Hubbard who was in need of a secretary. This began her career at the Mc-Kean County Courthouse in Smethport. She worked in the Judge’s offi ce as both secretary and court reporter. She remem-bered the 1940 morning she received the phone call that the Courthouse was on fi re and she immediately drove to Smethport to stand with others at the tragedy. While her career began with Judge Hubbard, it continued under Judge Glenn E. Mencer who served as judge for many years. When Judge Mencer received his appointment to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court as one of the founding judges, he main-tained a home offi ce in his home county and Marion was the administrator. When Judge Mencer was appointed by President Ronald Reagan as United States District Judge for the Western District of Penn-sylvania, Marion retired but continued to visit the courthouse as she obtained a No-tary Public Commission and took sworn statements for fi ling in the Prothonotary’s Offi ce. Marion attended Custer City Church for several years and visited often in her lifetime. Her membership began in the Hill Memorial United Methodist Church in Bradford when it was an Evangelical United Brethren congregation and she re-

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES6 Must-Know Facts About Obamacare Open Enrollment

-by Jason Alderman If you buy your own health insurance, add this important date to your yearend to-do list: November 15. That’s the date open enrollment is available for individual healthcare plans offered through the Healthcare.gov site, your respective health insurance mar-ketplace (https://www.healthcare.gov/medicaid-chip/eligibility/) or independent agents in your community. If you’re working for a company that provides your health insurance, chances are your open enrollment period has al-ready begun. The SHOP insurance mar-ketplace, open to small businesses and nonprofi ts with 50 or fewer full-time em-ployees, also begins taking online applica-tions November 15. If you buy your own personal or family coverage, don’t wait until November 15 to start planning your 2015 coverage deci-sions – do it now. Here are six things you should know to get started: 1. Timing is tight. Last year’s health insurance enrollment process lasted six months. This year, it’s only three – No-vember 15 to February 15. You may be able to enroll outside of those dates if you’re facing a major life change like a divorce, birth of a child or marriage; oth-erwise, that’s your window. 2. Sticker shock is a possibility. Oba-macare didn’t guarantee cheap healthcare coverage; it guaranteed available health-care coverage. Keep in mind that if you bought health coverage last year, your in-surer will automatically re-enroll you on December 15 for new coverage effective January 1. However, that’s no guarantee that your monthly premium will stay the same. Some experts are predicting only modest increases (http://www.cnbc.com/id/102055144#.), but depending on where you live, your premiums might go up or down. And if your 2013 carrier grandfa-thered your 2014 coverage, those changes may go well beyond price. 3. Your doctors and hospitals might change. Hospitals and physician practic-es scrutinize the state of the health insur-ance market very closely. Their income depends on it. In 2013, some medical practices made news by dropping insur-ance plans altogether and accepting only cash or credit; others changed the insur-ance plans they would honor. Something to keep in mind: the best way to confi rm that you’ll still have access to your fa-vorite doctor and hospital choice is to pick up the phone. Your doctor’s website may list the particular insurance plans his or her practice may accept, but don’t expect the list to be current. Call your practitioner or their business offi ce to confi rm they’re sticking with your plan or any you’ve cho-sen to use instead. You don’t want to be surprised with enormous out-of-network costs later.

4. Planning future health needs is im-portant. If in the next year you’re plan-ning to expand your family, undergo elec-tive surgery or other factors that could affect how you’ll use the healthcare sys-tem, query the plans about specialists, prescriptions and other specifi c services before you sign up. It could save you thou-sands in potential out-of-pocket costs. 5. Coverage isn’t immediate. Depend-ing on when you enroll during the open enrollment period, your actual coverage may not start until two to six weeks later. Check effective dates of coverage for eve-ry plan you’re evaluating to make sure the timing addresses your particular needs. 6. You can get help. Personal referrals from friends and fellow professionals to

particular plans and agents are always a good way to start your enrollment search. There may also be nonprofi t assistance within your community or state to help you evaluate individual plans. On the na-tional level, nonprofi t Enroll America runs a nationwide site (http://www.enrollamer-ica.org/resources/in-person-assistance/) with specifi c tools and resources for help in your search. Start now to build a good toolbox full of online and personal resources to help you with your 2015 health insurance search.

mained an active member there after the merger which created the United Method-ist Church across the country in 1968. A celebration of the merger was held at Hill Memorial in which Marion participated. In her church life, Marion was a member of the choir, the Fellowship Class and the United Methodist Women. She was ac-tive on a number of committees and held a number of responsible positions for the Church through the years. She taught a variety of classes including Bible Studies, the Junior High School Student class and she was instrumental in forming the origi-nal Fellowship Class for those post High School. She was deeply loved by family and friends. She has been described as “smart” and “sweet” but also as “elegant” as people remember her noticeable pres-ence in both the Bradford and Smethport communities. One of her lifetime goals

was to visit every named Atlantic Beach on the East Coast of the United States; she accomplished this goal. She also traveled to Israel; as one of the highlights of her vacation experiences which included trips to Egypt, England, Sweden and Denmark; she was able to experience the Pyramids and the Little Mermaid statue in Copen-hagen harbor. Seeing the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem was always the mo-ment she selected to call the highlight of her travels. She is survived by her only niece, Rev. Dianne Marion Bentley, DMin cndt. and her nephew-in-law, Chris Bentley both of South Waverly; grandniece, Lucinda (Rick) Gumaer, two grandnephews; An-drew (Holly) Glover and Cody Bentley; great grandnieces and grandnephews; Paige Gumaer, Logan Gumaer, Emmeline Glover and another precious child who

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEThe Top Five Advances In 50 Years Of Progress

Against Cancer

(NAPSI)—The American Society of Clinical Oncology, the world’s leading professional organization representing physicians who care for people with can-cer, announced the “Top 5 Advances in 50 Years of Modern Oncology,” based on results of worldwide voting on Cancer-Progress.Net—ASCO’s interactive web-site documenting the history of progress against cancer. The “Top 5 in 50” results identify piv-otal discoveries in chemo therapy, pre-vention, molecularly targeted therapy and supportive care that have stood the test of time, and upon which further discoveries have since been based. Federal funding played a role in many of these advances as a result of research supported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH has lost almost a quarter of its purchasing power in the last decade, adjusting for infl ation. “Over the past fi ve decades, NIH-fund-ed research has transformed the outlook for people with cancer,” said ASCO Presi-dent Peter Paul Yu, M.D., FACP, FASCO. “These Top 5 in 50 highlight transforma-tional discoveries that represent a shin-ing sliver of what we have learned from a sustained investment in federally funded research. However, without greater fed-eral investment going forward, the pace of progress against cancer and other diseases will be far slower.”

The “Top 5 Advances” were: 1. The fi rst chemotherapy treatment that cured advanced Hodgkin’s lympho-ma, called MOPP, discovered in 1965, paving the way to 90 percent cure rates for patients with this disease today. 2. The HPV vaccine, Gardasil, ap-proved to prevent cervical cancer in 2006. 3. The targeted drug imatinib (Gleevec), approved in 2001 to treat chronic myelog-enous leukemia. 4. A three-drug combination, PVB, de-veloped in 1977 that led to the cure of ad-vanced testicular cancer. 5. The 1991 approval of the anti-nausea drug ondansetron (Zofran) that dramati-

American Institute for Cancer Research Q:I have high blood pressure. What’s the best exercise to help reduce my blood pressure? A: Aerobic activity, the kind that increases your heart rate, will have the biggest im-pact on your blood pressure. The latest recommendations from the American College of Cardiology say that after 12 weeks of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise (about 40 minutes, three to four times a week), blood pressure will drop. The systolic blood pressure (top number) drops by an average of 2 to 5 mm Hg and the diastolic (bottom number) by an average 1 to 4 mm Hg. Depending on your starting level of fi tness, you might begin by walking three days a week for 10 or 15 minutes. Every couple of weeks, add another fi ve minutes to the daily goal. For overall health, try to work up to walking or other aerobic activity fi ve to seven days a week for 30 to 60 minutes. You could reach this with several blocks of 15 to 20 minutes each, if that best fi ts your life-style. Besides walking, other aerobic activities include biking (inside or out), dancing, swimming and active yard work. As your fi tness improves, including some exercise at a vigorous level may bring ad-ditional benefi ts, according to Andrew Freeman, MD, spokesperson for the American College of Cardiology. This level can’t be defi ned accurately by a specifi c pace or heart rate, but here’s a rule of thumb you can use: during moderate activity, you can comfort-ably talk, but not sing; during vigorous activity, you can only say a few words comfort-ably. Don’t push yourself to a pace beyond that. Before beginning an exercise program of more than modest walking for example, people should get the all-clear from their healthcare provider, and this is especially important if you have high blood pressure. Once your fi tness begins to improve, add strength training. Evidence linking it to blood pressure control is inconsistent, but it’s important for overall well being, since without it we gradually lose muscle. If you have high blood pressure, avoid holding your breath or straining with very heavy weights. The combination of regular moderate activity with healthy eating habits and working to reach and maintain a healthy weight can lower your blood pressure and reduce your need for medicine to control it.

Fretz Football Ends Winning Season After fi nishing with a great season, members of the community, team, and coach commented on the team and season. The comments listed below: The Coach“Throughout the year, my coaching staff and I told our student athletes that if they played hard and to the best of their ability they would be the class to bring football back into the spotlight for Bradford. The boys mottos of “who says we can’t? “ and “I believe! “ were a constant reminder of the faith they had in themselves and each other. The philosophy of teamwork above the individual was instrumental in creat-ing the “family like” bond between the boys and coaching staff. I Believe.....GO OWLS! “Coach Mike Gow Kimberlea Maitland Middlebrough “I am so proud of these boys....their team spirit..sportsman ship and unity...Way to go Bradford Fretz Owls....” Jean Whitlow“Words can’t even describe how proud we all are of you!! We’ve watched you com-ing from the midget leagues all the way up to middle school, we’ve watched you grow and come together not only as a team..but as brothers. This year started out with heartache but from that grew strength within each and every one of you. From the tackles, blocks, passes and touchdowns and of course injuries you all have made a memorable year for yourselves. Be proud of yourselves boys! Amazing season!!” Leasa Robinson “As you may know these boys have had an amazing season 7-1. They fi nished the season averaging 32.5 points per game while giving up only 5.75 points a game. They played with their hearts (as the late coach Smith) told them too. They played as a team a band of brothers. Every kid on the team had a time on the fi eld this season. No man left behind. We are all so proud of each and every one of these boys along with their coaches.” Donny Pattison - Player“Fretz football 2014. A 7-1 record. Wish is was 8-0 but not everything goes perfect and we knew that. We had a lot of pres-sure on us after the previous seasons. We overcame controversy. We beat teams we haven’t best in a while. And let me tell you what, revenge is sweet. Beating the teams we didn’t beat the previous year. (Which I was apart of). We had more pride then any team I’ve ever seen. Wanna know who taught us that? Coach Ron Smith. He motivated us all year long. He may’ve not been with us physically, but he was men-tally. My greatest memory ever with him

was before a kick return in a game against Brookville. He told me, pointing to his chest, “It’s gonna take heart. Takes heart to do the things you do. You have plenty of it. Use it and take it to the house.” I re-

turned the kick for a touchdown. My fi rst time ever. It was an amazing feeling that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. He’s an inspiration. I love all of my coaches. Coach Gow, Keller, and Pettit. They mean so much to me and helped me so much on becoming the player I am. They make me excited to play and made me a leader. Something I always want to be. I love my teammates. They made me the player I am. People tell me I’m an amazing foot-ball player, but I couldn’t do it without them. They made me what everyone says

I am. I’m excited for the future of us. We are going to have fun, win many more games, and show pride, modesty, courage, and some smash mouth football

The average person’s caloric needshave decreased since the 20thcentury when lifestyles weremore active, yet nutritional

needs are generally the same. Getting the nutrition you need without consumingtoo many calories can be as simple asincorporating nutrient-dense foods, such as potatoes, into your diet.

Not only are potatoes a cost-efficientkitchen staple, there are dozens of quickand easy ways to prepare this ultimatecomfort food while taking advantage of an extra helping of nutrition.

A medium-size potato (5.3 ounces or148 grams) has only about 110 calories, 4 to 5 percent of the average adult’s totaldaily calories, but provides much higherpercentages of many nutrients.

The potato also is agood source of vitamin C and hard-to-getB6 and has long been known to be astorehouse of minerals. The potatocontains valuable supplies of essentialtrace elements such as manganese,chromium, selenium and molybdenum.

Falsely fattening imageAlthough you may think of the potato as abulky vegetable, it is 80 percent water —just a little less than milk. However, itsassociation with high-calorie toppings likebutter, sour cream, gravy and mayonnaisegives the low-calorie potato a false image.In fact, just one tablespoon of butterdoubles the calories in a baked potato.

FAMILY FEATURES

For seniors, keeping in touch with

friends, family and caregivers

is important to maintain an active

social life and remain independent. The

number of seniors — and the need to find

creative ways to be mindful of their care —

is on the rise. With nearly seven million

Americans providing support

as long-distance caregivers,

according to the National

Institute on Aging, staying in

touch is especially important.

NurturerelationshipsEmail, cell phones and texting are some of the ways tech nologyis helping people stay connectedtoday. These tools can be espe -cially useful for seniors livingaway from friends and family orfor those who aren’t able to travelas much as they used to. Oneaffordable option is a com pletephone system, such as VTechCareLine, which has no monthlyfee. Offering a wearable pendant,one-button or voice-activateddialing, big buttons and volumebooster, CareLine has featuresdesigned with seniors in mind.For more informa tion aboutkeeping seniors safely connectedvia a phone system, visitwww.vtechphones.com/careline.

Going placesSeniors today are staying active,spending time with friends andfamily outside of their home,rekindling old passions andexplor ing new activities that keep them on the move. Even forseniors who aren’t able to be asactive, changes in scenery, like aneighborhood walk or visit to thepark, are great ways to get fresh air, uplift spirits and live a healthier life.

Since transportation can some times be achallenge, especially for seniors who rely oncaregivers who work full-time, there are numerousorganizations that provide transpor tation resourcesfor seniors to assist in getting them safely todoctor’s appointments, organized activities at localcommunity centers, shopping excursions and more.

Your local Area Agency on Aging is a goodresource to begin researching options in your area.Find your local agency at www.n4a.org.

Help Create ConnectionsHelping an elderly person who lives alone stay connected with others can play a major role in that senior’squality of life. As a caregiver, you can help foster those connections by:

Selecting a Senior PhoneA phone system can providevaluable security and peace of mind for seniors livingalone and the loved ones whoare responsible for their care.To get the maximum benefitof a phone system designedfor seniors, experts recom -mend shopping for thefollowing features:

Voice amplification

Conversations are easier tohear and understand when you can adjust the volume of incoming sound. Look forunits that can be adjusted byup to 40 decibels.

Caller ID announce

Hearing who is callingannounced through thespeakerphone prevents the risk of falls or other injuriesassociated with running tocatch a ringing phone.

Photo dial

As memory and or vision fails, it can be difficult toassociate names and numbers.A phone that allows you toassociate photos with speeddial numbers will help yourloved one keep importantnumbers straight, which isespecially important in anemergency or time of need.

� Coordinating arotating visitorschedule with friends and family.

� Asking others to make regularcalls to check in and chat.

� Researching localsenior programs, such as classes, shop -ping excursions or fitness programs.

� Identifying resourcessuch as transportationservices that are avail -able to help seniors getout and about.

“There are dozens ofreasons people look todevelop healthier eatinghabits, ranging fromweight loss to diseaseprevention,” said ReneFicek, registered dieti -tian and nutrition expertfor Seattle Sutton’sHealthy Eating (SSHE).“Regardless of the moti -vation, success beginswith a well-balancedeating plan that is basedon sound nutrition and physical activity.”

Ficek offers this advice to individuals lookingfor a new approach to eating:

� Adopting a healthy diet is the key to success -ful, long-term weight loss. A healthy dietprovides adequate calories and nutrients tosupport your body’s energy and nutri tionalneeds while allowing you to shed an averageof 1–2 pounds per week.

� Be wary of diet plans that promise loss offive or more pounds per week, which isunrealistic and unhealthy.

� Look for a meal plan that takes the guess -work out of eating right by serving calorie-and portion-controlled meals that reflect awell-balanced diet.

� Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday. If you have been primarily sedentary,start slowly with a moderate walk each day, working up to more aggressive cardio -vas cular exercise and weight training todevelop muscle.

Meal Program Lets SeniorAchieve Lifelong Goal

Decades of weight loss and gain followed — as much as 400 poundsup and down through the years. Now, at 63, Janet Wilke is adoptinghealthier eating habits and learning exactly what and how much to eat.

In May 2013, Wilke weighed in at 299.8 pounds. Just 15 monthslater, she achieved her goal weight of 150 pounds. Her secret? Aneating plan that guides her to make healthy choices at each mealfollowing a 1,200-calorie eating plan created by Seattle Sutton’sHealthy Eating (SSHE), a family-owned company based near Chicago.

“In the past when I would lose weight, I would save my clothes justin case,” Wilke said. “This time, I am confident because I know exactlywhat to eat and how much and I feel fabulous. I have never felt asenergetic and healthy as I do now, and the smaller size is a bonus.”

Through SSHE, Wilke orders convenient and freshly-prepared mealsdelivered to her home. A weekly menu consists of three meals per day,with both regular and vegetarian menu options available to provide a mix of vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts and low-fat dairy products.

“Now, I look for opportunities to move because I feel so ‘light’ andpain free,” Wilke said. “I can get up and down out of my chair almosteffortlessly and my sleep has improved as well. I have even given away all of my ‘too big’ clothes because I know that I will not regainthe weight.”

Number CrunchHealthy eating meansunderstanding andclosely monitoring thecalories and nutritionalvalue of the foods youeat. The registereddieticians and researchand development teamsat Seattle Sutton’sHealthy Eating preparemeal plans that complywith the followingnutrition guidelines:

� Low in fat (25 percentcalories from fat)

� Low in saturated fat(less than 7 percent)

� Low cholesterol (lessthan 200 mg)

� Calorie-controlled(1,200; 1,500vegetarian; or 2,000per day)

� Sodium-restricted(less than 1,500mg/day on the 1,200calorie plan)

� No hydrogenated orpartially hydrogenatedoils (zero trans fat)

� Free of food dyes andharmful additives aspreservative

FAMILY FEATURES

When you set out to make life changes such as weight loss or

adopting a more active lifestyle, it can be tempting to look for

shortcuts that expedite your path toward your end goal. How -

ever, long-term success is more attainable for those who take a slow and

steady approach that puts health first.

� Find ways to make your new lifestyle as convenient as possi -ble, such as meal programs that save on grocery shopping andcooking time or gyms that specialize in short, well-roundedworkouts.

Another important aspect of a successful weight loss program is a menu that incorporates high-quality ingredients to create anappetizing array of meals that adhere to current nutrition guidelines.

Finding a menu that offers variety is a smart approach, Ficeksays. “When you’re watching what you eat, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and eat the same foods repetitively. Unfortunately, thatapproach can backfire if you become bored with your food andgravitate toward options with new flavors that may be less nutri -tionally beneficial.”

On the breakfast menu, SSHE offers options such as StrawberryYogurt & Dark Chocolate-Berry Crunch Parfait, which featureslayers of strawberry Greekyogurt with orange-cherry-cranberry sauce and adecadent granola-berry-darkchocolate crunch. Or forlunch, the Pecan-CranberryMixed Greens Salad offers afresh mix of salad greens,roasted pecan halves, Swisscheese, dried cranberriesand celery seed dressingserved with a tomato juicesipper.
