Local 4-H Members Compete In Show The second annual Pennsylvania State 4-H Junior Horse Championship Show was held July 25-26, 2015 at the Centre County Grange Fairgrounds in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. More than 200 4-H members from across Pennsylvania exhibited horses in perfor-mance and In hand classes, totaling over 500 entries for the weekend. The Junior Horse Championship Show is the premier competition of the year for most 4-H horse members enrolled in junior horse projects.

Events include breed conformation and futurity classes for yearling to 5 year old horses, as well as barrel and driving futu-rities. In hand trail and performance skills classes were also part of the Junior Horse Show. Results from the show are available on the Pennsylvania 4-H Horse Program website. All exhibitors competed at a preliminary level in each class for a merit placing. At this level each entry was evaluated against

a standard of excellence and received a blue, red, or yellow merit placing. Blue merit placings then advanced to a champi-onship class, where they competed against all blue merit winners in their division. Winners of all championship classes were awarded a neck sash and a Junior Horse Championship Show jacket. Winners of all In Hand championship classes then ad-vanced to compete for Grand Championhonors. Local exhibitors competing at the show were Emily Gustafson, daughter of Brian and Amy Gustafson of Smethport. She showed her horse Delux in the Dark and received blue merit awards in Western Pleasure Future Walk/Jog/Lope 5 year old; Western Pleasure Skills 5 year old and Quarter Horse 5 year old Gelding which advanced her to the championship class-es.

Guest Columnist

“Our System Is Broken”-by Bob Perry

“I will tell you our system is broken” is a quote by Donald Trump in this past Thurs-day’s GOP Debate in Cleveland Ohio. The reference seems to be somewhat ig-nored but clearly is declarative about the corruption of the world the politicians live in in Washington. Additionally Donald said “I give to eve-ry body” (politicians) followed by “When I need something from them …. I call and they are there for me.” He has discussed how he makes contributions to politi-cians including those he does not know, and gets favors just because he gave, and the favors are undoubtedly awarded with the expectations of more, and hopefully increased contributions. I encour-age all to read Bill O’Reilly’s Culture of Corruption to better understand the cul-ture of corruption our political class lives and breathes in. In an effort to change this culture I have been proposing a major change at the state level on what contribu-tions politicians can accept. In today’s world elected offi cials are permitted to represent all who contribute to them within the established laws gov-erning contributions. I submitted a formal proposal in the state of Idaho where I live for approval from the Secretary of State to place an initiative on the 2016 statewide ballot changing the laws. Currently, I am working on readdressing

the proposal as a request was returned re-questing additional precise changes in ex-isting laws. Again I urge anyone interested in addressing a similar change to contact your state representatives to aid you in the process your state has for making such changes. As a reminder, the change I seek sim-ply is to make but one restriction for any-one seeking an elected offi ce and holding and that is to accept contributions solely from a constituent. (If the contributor is one who lives outside the representative district they cannot make a contribution, relative or not.) In my proposal I make no limitation as to how much anyone can contribute along with the contribution information acces-sible online. The electoral process is de-signed elect representatives for specifi c electoral districts, but the representation created by fi nancial contributions needs to be limited to constituents that reside with-in each electoral districts. Back to Donald Trump. My opinion to his seeking the nomination was, and re-mains, that he will add much to the con-versation whether or not he wins. Surely more fi reworks are coming. For sure our system is broken and I wonder if anyone else is trying to make changes to fi x it. You can still get an initiative (proposition) on the 2016 ballot.

Seventeen photos from Bradford’s Ital-ian Festival have been included in this is-sue, along with a couple videos of a great entertainer, Mike Lundy, performing un-der the name of Prairie Dogma. His com-fortable presentation including ad lib and improvisation were well received by those who were present in the entertainment tent from 1PM until 5 PM on Saturday August 8th. While this year’s pictures include a few of the old-time Italian families, most of them show Italians-by-choice enjoying the good food, great entertainment, and friendly atmosphere for which the event has become known. …….As usual, other pictures and videos taken during the Italian Festival can be found in the photo gallery associated with the issue. Select-ing any Journal photo in the electronic edition will lead to a link through which the photo gallery can be accessed……..Remember that the First Night Brad-ford, Star Search Contest will be held this Friday, August 14th in the University Room of the Commons Building at UPB. There, 13-14 contestants who already have been auditioned will compete for a position on stage during this year’s First Night Activities…….. Remember too, that this coming weekend brings with it The Bradford Gun Show to be held at the Masonic Center, 625 South Avenue, brought to us by the Orak Grotto working together with the McKean County Rifl e Club and Acme Ammo, Saturday, August 15th from 9AM to 4:30PM, and Sunday from 9AM to 3PM. This buy, sell, trade event promises to include Firearms, Hunt-ing Supplies, Targets, Military Optics, Knives, Fishing Equipment, Ammo, Re-loading Equipment and Supplies, Sporting Goods, Collectables and Much More. As usual we can expect plenty of free park-ing……..The schedules for the 36th An-nual Crook Farm Country Fair and Old Time Country Music Festival are now available on the Bradford Landmark So-ciety’s website: < bradfordlandmark.org > It’s worth a trip to Bradford on August 28th, 29th, and 30th to attend this longtime proven event which is sure to please……..It makes no difference whether claims of police brutality are true or false, real or imagined, people around the nation are being exposed to a picture of violence involving police shootings. Beyond the potential for uncontrolled civil unrest, the gun violence creates greater pressure and public sentiment for disarming the entire population (with the exception of the po-lice and the militia of course). Instead, perhaps it’s time to take the guns from our Police Offi cers and make available to them, less lethal, 21st century alternatives for their protection. “Oops, killed another suspect,” just doesn’t hack it anymore. Very few care whose fault it is, they just want to stop the extreme violence.

Richard, here visiting family, fi nishes up his sub sandwich while Sam, who has been busy talking, makes a little headway into his ribs and meatball sub cuisine.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES10 Ways To Become Financially Independent

-by Nathaniel Sillin After the 2008 economic crisis, many people assumed they would never be able to reach true fi nancial independence – the ability to live comfortably off one’s sav-ings and investments with no debt what-soever. However, individuals willing to use their time horizon to plan and adjust their spending, savings and investment behav-iors might just fi nd fi nancial independence is possible. Here are 10 ideas to get start-ed. 1. Visualize fi rst, then plan. Start by considering what your vision of fi nancial independence actually looks like – and then get a reality check. Qualifi ed fi nan-cial experts can examine your current fi -nancial circumstances, listen to what fi -nancial independence means to you and help you craft a plan. The path to fi nancial independence may be considerably differ-ent at age 20 than it is at age 50; the more time you have to save and invest gener-ally produces a better outcome. But at any age, start with a realistic picture of your options. 2. Budget. Budgeting (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting/) – the process of tracking income, subtract-ing expenses and deciding how to divert the difference to your goals each month – is the essential fi rst task of personal fi -nance. If you haven’t learned to budget, you need to do so. 3. Spend less than you earn. It might be obvious, but it’s one of the most diffi cult fi nancial behaviors to execute. Adhering to a lower standard of living and expenses will help you put more money into savings and investments sooner. 4. Build smarter safety nets. Emergency funds and insurance are rarely discussed in combination. The traditional defi nition of an emergency fund is a separate account for cash that can be used instead of credit to repair a broken appliance or other ex-pense that may run a few hundred dollars. However, many people keep insurance deductibles high to keep premiums low. Would you have enough cash on hand to cover an insurance deductible if you had a sudden claim? If not, build your deduct-ible amounts into your emergency fund. 5. Eliminate debt. Though consumer debt levels have generally fallen since the 2008 fi nancial crisis, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in February that home, student loan, auto and credit card debt began creeping up again in 2014. Getting rid of revolving, non-housing debt (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/costofcredit) is one of the most effective ways to free up money for savings and in-vestment. 6. Consider your career. Financial in-

dependence doesn’t require you to quit a career you love, but you really can’t get to fi nancial independence without steady income to fuel savings and investments that will build over time. Speak with qual-ifi ed advisors about your income, benefi ts and retirement picture fi rst, and see if you might be able to expand your sources of work-related income, such as consulting part time. Also keep in mind that over the age of 50, the Internal Revenue Service al-lows you to make catch-up contributions (http://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Plan-Participant,-Employee/Retirement-Topics-IRA-Contribution-Limits) to both 401(k) and IRA accounts. 7. Downsize. You’ll generally reach wealth fi nancial goals faster if you can cut your overall living expenses. For some, that means selling your home and moving to a smaller one or to an area with lower living costs and taxes. You can also sell or donate property you don’t need and use those proceeds to extinguish debt or add to savings or investments. 8. Invest frugally. Become a student (http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/undrstndgrtrmnt.html) of investment fees and commissions because they can cut signifi cantly into your principal. Make a full evaluation of fees you are paying on every investment account you have and

if you’re working with a licensed profes-sional who sells you fi nancial products, know what fees they’re charging for their investment and advisory services. 9. Buy assets that generate income. Stocks, real estate, collectibles or cash in-vestments all have up and down markets. But do your homework and focus on in-vestments bought at attractive prices that are likely to appreciate over time. Also, don’t forget to study the tax ramifi cations of any investment transaction you make. 10. Always know where you are fi -nancially. Financial planning isn’t about making one set of fi nancial decisions and assuming you’re set. Lives and situations change and your fi nancial planning must be fl exible enough to withstand both posi-tive and negative changes without derail-ing your hopes for fi nancial independence. If your forte is not investment, fi nancial planning or tax matters, by all means bring in qualifi ed experts to help. But fi nancially independent people generally have their money issues at their fi ngertips not only for their own use, but for estate purposes as well. Bottom line: Financial independence involves diligence and a bit of sacrifi ce, but even the smallest moves can yield big outcomes.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEMinimally Invasive Endo-scopic Vessel Harvesting

For Bypass Surgery

(NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about has heart disease and needs to have open-heart surgery (also known as coronary artery bypass graft [CABG] or bypass surgery) to treat blocked ar-teries, there’s another important pro-cedure you should know about: endo-scopic vessel harvesting (EVH), which nearly all (94 percent) U.S. hospitals are now performing, with more than 2 million procedures completed world-wide since 1996. To prepare for bypass surgery, the clinician takes healthy blood vessels from other parts of your body and uses them to bypass the blockage in your heart. There are two main methods: the conventional open vein harvest-ing (OVH) technique, which requires a long incision along the leg that is often extremely painful and prone to healing complications, and EVH, which is per-formed via a minimally invasive tech-nique requiring a single, small incision either in the leg or forearm. EVH has increasingly become the standard of care for CABG surgery given the sig-nifi cant clinical and cosmetic benefi ts without compromising long-term pa-tient outcomes or safety. In fact, studies show that compared to OVH:

1. EVH patients report less leg pain and scarring following the procedure.

2. EVH signifi cantly reduces leg wound complications and infection.

3. EVH reduces the length of stay at the hospital.

4. EVH patients experience lower rates of hospital readmission and out-patient offi ce visits.

“EVH is ideal for patients at greater risk for developing leg wound com-plications, such as patients with dia-betes or obese patients,” said Saurabh D. Ashier, PA-C, Surgical Assistant, Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I love picnics, but it seems that all the traditional favorites are so unhealthy. Is there a way to keep the fun parts and make the meal healthy, too? A: Start by looking at the basic proportion of foods in the meal: how many different vegetable and fruit dishes are there compared to starchy dishes (like potatoes, breads, rice and pasta), meats and packaged snack foods? Grain products are nutritious, espe-cially if they’re whole grain, but many picnics are over-laden with starchy foods and low on fruits and vegetables. Add trays of raw fruit or vegetables, and experiment with different vegetable salads for more variety. If you like to grill, load the grill with veg-etables, which gives these nutritious, low-calorie foods great fl avor. You can put a new twist on potato or pasta salad by substituting a variety of chopped vegetables for some of the potatoes or pasta. This is a great way to work an additional serving of vegetables into a meal, while reducing calories and increasing nutrients. Most picnics include meat or poultry, like fried chicken, grilled meat or cold cuts in sandwiches. If you’re contributing to the picnic fare, an easy option is the rotisserie chicken available at most supermarkets. You can also choose lean, unprocessed meats and keep your portion to deck-of-cards size. If there are multiple meat options, choose one and enjoy another some other time.Healthy eating can include some desserts too. Have a dish of fruit salad with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream. If brownies are a must-have, cut them in two-inch square pieces, which supply 100 to 150 calories each. That makes it easier for those who are watching calories. The irony of picnics is that, although they are held at the height of fresh fruit and vegetable season, these nutrient-rich foods are often the smallest part of the meal. An updated picnic can have all the traditional foods, but include more of the season’s bountiful produce.

Southern California Keck School of Medicine. “Diabetes and obesity are on the rise in this country, which means an increasing proportion of bypass surgery patients are at high risk—so it’s impor-tant now more than ever for hospitals, clinicians and their patients to recog-nize the value of EVH.” EVH technology has continued to evolve to make the procedure easier, faster and more protective of the har-vested blood vessel-ultimately contrib-uting to more successful outcomes for the patient and fewer repeat surgeries to treat a new blockage. “Advances in modern technology make it possible to perform EVH in

ways that result in reduced pain and less scarring for the patient, while also leading to faster recovery, better clini-cal outcomes and enhanced patient sat-isfaction,” explained Scot C. Schultz, M.D., McLeod Regional Medical Cent-er, Florence, S.C. “As EVH becomes standard of care for reducing morbidity and improving patient satisfaction, it’s critical that we continue to train even more clinicians on the proper tech-niques to minimize vessel injury and protect the harvested graft in order to ensure the patient has the best long-term outcome possible.” Learn more at:

Mary Chris DePalma PhotoMary Anne Knight gives us a smile from her seat at the back of an Air Express Flight, August 8th, during the Wings Over Bradford airplane promotional event held there. She said that she saw a beautiful view of the Kinzua Bridge location and that the pilots were friendly and awesome.

Excited About Flight

Bradford Journal PhotoFollowing a civil wedding ceremony, with family and friends, in the gazebo at Veter-an’s Square in Bradford, Saturday, August 8th, Mr. and Mrs. Pat and Rhonda Mc-Cormick show their exuberance at taking the big step in their relationship. They tell us that while they’ve known each other for a long time, they fi nally decided to get together this last Memorial Day, and that this makes it offi cial. Pat a building contractor, and Rhonda, a Metrics Ana-lyst who works for GE Transportation in Emporium, plan to get back to work on Monday.
