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

Guest Columnist

“ Media Bias”-by Bob Perry

The information we are fed from the news media is by-in-large biased and we have become selective in which outlets that align most with our individ-ual ideology. It is diffi cult to impossible to fi nd any personalities that report the news without any spin including those that claim to have a no-spin policy, es-pecially when it comes to political is-sues. Even in watching PBS, which is supposed to be un-biased, you will also fi nd some bias depending on the sub-ject. The arbiters of the truth are seem-ingly among the missing. Watch the White House Briefi ngs and you may cease to watch it as the truth and prom-ised transparency are shades of grey. With fewer reporters imbedded in the military these days reports of activity is fi ltered and much of the reports are coming from the Administration, some-times with obvious bias. It appears that it may be philosophically impossible to get the truth as everyone has some bias. Truth is what we all need and search for it and you will fi nd it elusive. Is truth only possible when the subject is per-sonally experienced since viewing and seeing a video of the subject will be fi l-tered by our own bias. Search for the truth on the internet is like disobeying Zeus and opening Pan-dora’s Box wherein all the evils in the world exists. One of the evils that exists on the internet Social Media is the unbi-ased search results when you are look-ing for information on subjects that fall within the bias of the search engine you use. When you enter search criteria the application you are using, can and most often does, modify the search words and string them to do the search. Per-sonnel in control of the search engine will take a word and can change it to misdirect the intent of the search. For example, the word ‘investigation’ can be changed to ‘invest’ and the search results will be markedly different. Facebook recently was challenged on the accuracy of the Trending Topics which alerts viewers articles they can select to view as it appeared conserva-tive articles were not being given credit for views by members. Facebook did an internal review and claimed there was “no evidence of systematic politi-cal bias” but plan to add more oversight to the trending topics team. The prom-ise of action is an indication some bias has been involved in the trending issue. More recently Google has come un-der attack as there is an appearance

that their auto complete search func-tion has been manipulating results in favor of Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton. Google has vehemently ob-jected to the claim, but it must be noted that the same searches conducted with Yahoo and Bing searches. It has been noted that Google has been disallow-ing results which are not disparaging or offensive when related to a person’s name. An example would be a search of a political candidate which includes a word like ’crime’ or ’criminal inves-tigation” and when accompanied with a certain name, the search algorithm can be changed to show favoritism. True or not, I can conclude after a career in information technology all the claims may well be true as software is the fi lter for any designated result. If any search is conducted for infor-mation on the internet, it defi es the im-agination that anything other than what is fully requested and found should the results. This has nothing to do with ‘political correctness’ but does produce ‘political incorrectness‘, especially when it has a bias in a political world.

The BAHS Alumni Association hon-ored their three scholarship recipients, Kirstin Lekas, Sharon Wackwitz, and Ky-lee Schaumleffel, with a luncheon, June 16th at the Pennhills Club, Bradford, and we were there to take pictures of the entire event. While most of the photos are found in the gallery, a few have found their way to the pages of this edition. We have also included photos taken early morning, June 15th depicting members of the Bradford Area Public Library Teen Book Club on their way to New York City. Their Chap-erone, Judy Carr, the program and Com-munity outreach Coordinator at the BAPL reports that among other things, the young people were fascinated by the skyscrap-ers, the many nationalities, and the many languages being spoken there. For those who hadn’t been there, we’re sure that New York City, especially in a radius of ten blocks around and including Times Square, was much more overpowering than their previous perceptions garnered from videos and movies alone. And last but not least, we included a photo taken at the Mike Ross estate, on Lafayette Av-enue in Lewis Run. We knew that he was a great barber, but we had been unaware of his talents in cultivating Peonies…….While visiting in the Philadelphia area this last weekend we came across a res-taurant worth mentioning. It’s located in the Northeast, heading north on the Roosevelt Blvd, a couple miles before the place where the roadway resumes its proper name as US Route 1. To be exact, it’s located at 11650 Roosevelt Boule-vard and presently runs under the name “5 Star Diner.” This sit down restaurant offers great food in liberal portions, and does so quickly (within 10 minutes) and all at rock bottom prices -a full breakfast for about $5.00 a plate. And for what it’s worth, there’s a rollerdrome conveniently located next door for those who want to work off the extra calories……And while we’re in the mood for recommending we suggest that our readers take a look at our “Sizzling Summer Savings!” spe-cial on page 11 of this issue. CHU LEE GARDEN Chinese Restaurant located at 405 E. Main Street, has recently joined us on this page and would like our read-ers to take note that they have an active web menu. By going to < www.chuleegar-dens.com > we can read their complete menu, order on line, and have the food de-livered (on orders of $10.00 or more) to locations in the Bradford area……Ladies night is scheduled for July 7th (4-9PM), with sidewalk sales taking place on the 27th and 28th –all in downtown Bradford. Mark your calendars!

Photo by Mary DePalmaMembers of the Bradford Area Public Li-brary (BAPL) Teen Book Club were head-ing out to tour a little of New York City on the early morning of June 15th. Here, Victoria Slaght, a 10th grade student from Bradford Area High School shows us a lit-tle of her excitement. She tells us she plans to visit the Hunger Games Display at the Discovery Times Square location, 226 W. 44th Street, NYC. The trip was made available through Bradford Travel Motor Coach- Covered Wagon Tours.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESBuilding A Financial Emergency Kit For Your Family What would a sudden fi nancial emergency be in your life? It could be a storm causing massive property damage to your home. It could also be something more personal, like an acci-dent that would cut off your ability to make a living. Whatever it is, if someone else had to step in to help you in an emergency situation, it’s important to have a plan in place so they know what to do. A fi nancial emergency kit is a cru-cial component in fi nancial planning. In short, a fi nancial emergency kit in-volves identifying and planning for po-tential fi nancial emergencies that could affect you and your loved ones. Build-ing a successful one goes beyond sort-ing paperwork – it involves looking at a variety of potential situations in your life and then asking, “What’s the worst that could happen?” You will want to create a kit – a set of physical or digital documents and in-structions – that can help you or some-one else you trust manage in a crisis. Here are some items you’ll likely want to include: 1. Estate documents. Estate plan-ning is really the highest form of fi nan-cial emergency planning, because it ad-dresses the ultimate personal fi nancial emergencies – medical incapacitation or death. Would your family have easy access to this material if something hap-pened to you? In your family fi nancial emergency kit, estate documents would include copies of current wills (for you and your spouse or partner), your ad-vanced directives (which instruct doc-tors on end-of-life or other stages in medical care), health/fi nancial powers of attorney (which designate specifi c individuals to step in to manage your money or healthcare if you cannot do so) as well as other documents that pro-vide additional guidance for operating businesses and managing and distribut-ing other assets you have. Make sure these documents are always current and that contact information is includ-ed for all the qualifi ed experts you used to prepare them – estate or business at-torneys, tax professionals and fi nancial planners. 2. Insurance policies. Being able to fi nd home and auto policies in a natural disaster is a no-brainer, but it’s impor-tant to think a little more broadly. File as much policy and contact detail as you can for any health, disability, busi-ness, life and accident coverage you have – and remember that it’s particu-larly important to note or fi le documen-tation on this coverage at work, too.

Sometimes we sign up rather blindly for work-based benefi ts only to realize how important they may be in a fi nan-cial emergency. 3. Tax materials. If a family mem-ber dies or becomes incapacitated, tax matters still need to be attended to. If you work with a tax professional, make sure their contact information is in the digital or physical kit (see indexes, con-tacts and guides, below), but it’s also important to keep past returns and rel-evant supporting data based on your in-dividual tax situation. 4. Investment, savings and retire-ment documents. If you work with a qualifi ed fi nancial planner or tax ex-pert, you may have access to a particu-lar system that lists and track this infor-mation in an organized way that many of us don’t have at home. However you plan and track your investments, it should be included in your kit. 5. Indexes, contact sheets and guides. Some people need a little guid-ance, others need a lot. A family fi nan-cial emergency kit needs to be usable by all designated family members. Put yourself in the role of a friend or fam-ily member who’s been called in to help you in a crisis. If you had to step in to settle an estate, healthcare or dis-aster emergency for a friend or family member and they weren’t around to ad-vise you, what information would you need to get started? In any category of

by - Nathaniel Sillininformation you include in a fi nancial emergency kit, include a separate fi le or digital instruction that details people to call, account numbers if necessary, relevant online and physical addresses and other key data to advise that person about what’s in front of them and what they should do. If you work with quali-fi ed fi nancial experts, make sure their contact information is included. 6. Easy access to essentials under lock and key. If you’re away from home when damage occurs or if fam-ily members need to access vehicles or other spaces, make sure you have keys and access codes locked safely in your emergency kit. You will also want to ensure that your emergency con-tacts have the necessary access to your emergency kit in order to retrieve these materials. You or loved ones might also need access to funds, particularly cash in an emergency. If you don’t have a bank account established strictly for emergencies that allows specifi c family members to write checks or make cash withdrawals, you should consider it. Bottom line: Building a fi nancial emergency kit requires some thinking, but it can help you avoid major losses and speed up decision making in a cri-sis. Work with people you trust to make it accessible and useful to your family and trusted individuals.

OBITUARIES( Continued from page 4)

at Bradford Regional Medical Center, sur-rounded by her four children. Born Dec. 29, 1924, in Port Allegany, she was the daughter of Dr. Dwight and Florence Finger Hanna. On June 24, 1950, in Port Allegany, she married Preston R. Abbey, who passed away July 10, 2014. Lois was a graduate of Port Allegany High School and was in the fi rst graduat-ing class from the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, receiving an RN de-gree. Following graduation, she worked in Washington at George Washington Hospi-tal. She returned home to care for her ill mother. She married Preston and they left for their honeymoon the same day the Ko-rean War broke out. Lois and Preston moved to Bradford in 1956, where she became a full-time moth-er. Absolutely nothing came before her family and she was a staunch supporter of her children. Lois inherited a love of mu-sic from her mother, who was a concert pianist and organist. Winters in Bradford were not her favorite time, so over the years Lois and Preston spent many winters in Naples, Fla. While there, Lois loved the sun and going to the beach as well as fi shing, where she usually caught the fi rst and largest fi sh. Lois was a dog lover, a golfer, a top bridge player and loved shopping. She also loved anything chocolate. Lois is survived by her four children, Paul (Connie) Abbey of Cleveland, Ohio, Lisa (Steve) Bastedo of Atlanta, Ga., Lynne (Jim) Gokey of Bradford and Les-lie (Randy) Yokeley of Atlanta, Ga.; nine grandchildren, Lindsey (Eric) Lane, Ken-dall Abbey, Palmer (Kyle) Mlaker, Dru Bastedo, Wesley Bastedo, Kendra Gokey, Ryan Gokey, Hanna Yokeley and Maddie Yokeley. In addition to her parents and

husband, she was preceded in death by her brother, Dwight C. “Pete” Hanna III. There was no public visitation. Private graveside services were held at Fairview Cemetery in Port Allegany. A reception for friends was held at noon Saturday, June 18 at the First Presbyterian Church in Port Allegany. Memorial contributions, if desired, can be made to the Preston R.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE

(NAPSI)—Enjoying a peanut butter sandwich at lunch or snacking on a handful of peanuts won’t just fi ll you up. It’ll also reduce your diabetes risk, according to a new Harvard School of Public Health study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. The study is the fi rst to compare the long-term effects of eating animal pro-tein versus plant protein on type 2 dia-betes risk. Over 200,000 participants, followed for 20 years, showed that those who ate diets high in plant protein reduced their type 2 diabetes risk by 9 percent. Al-ternatively, those who ate diets high in animal protein increased their risk by 13 percent. According to the study, “whole grains, peanuts and peanut butter were the most commonly consumed major food sources of vegetable protein.” In fact, peanuts and peanut butter are among the most popular plant proteins eaten in the United States today. Peanuts contain about eight grams of protein, more than any other nut. They’re also a good source of fi ber and essential nutrients. Unlike animal pro-tein, which can be high in cholesterol and saturated fat, peanut protein is cho-lesterol-free and high in healthy fats. This nutritious package supports heart health, weight management and diabe-tes prevention. Researchers also looked at peanuts and peanut butter specifi cally and their effect on diabetes risk. When one serv-ing of peanuts or peanut butter was swapped for one serving of deli meat, diabetes risk decreased by 21 percent. Swapping peanuts for refi ned grains or potatoes resulted in a 7 to 16 percent diabetes risk reduction. This study provides new evidence that increasing plant protein, particu-larly peanuts and peanut butter, can greatly improve health, especially when substituted for meats and refi ned carbohydrates. Since most households already keep peanut butter on hand, incorporating more plant-based eating into your diet can be very easy.

Peanut Butter & Strawberry Quesadillas

Makes 2 quesadillas

2 (8-inch) whole-wheat fl our tortillas

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: What’s the difference between sherbet and sorbet? A:Both sherbet and sorbet are frozen desserts made with fruit purée or juice, sugar, and fl avorings. Sherbet also contains a small amount of milk, and possibly egg white or gelatin so sorbet is preferable for people who are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy, vegetarian, or vegan. Sherbet and sorbet differ in calories based on the brand. One cup of either one may contain about 160 to 200 calories, which includes some natural sugar from fruit, but also lots of high fructose corn syrup or other added sugar (from 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar). Both are low in fat, typically containing only about two or three grams per cup, far below ice cream. Because it does contain some milk, sherbet has 80 milligrams of calcium per cup, which is about what’s in a quarter cup of milk. Sorbet and sherbet are both lower in calories than the rich, high-fat “gourmet” ice creams. However, their high sugar content means they may have about the same amount of calories as light ice cream or frozen yogurt, or some store-brand ice creams. Since there is wide variation between brands, check labels as you make your choice. Don’t forget the impact of portion size – a low-fat or low-calorie choice still adds up if you eat a big bowl. No matter which you choose, enjoy a half-cup serving in a bowl fi lled with delicious fruit for fewer calories and more nutrients and fi ber.

Peanuts And Peanut Butter Can Reduce

Diabetes Risk

4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

Combine the peanut butter and cin-namon in a bowl. Spread half of the peanut butter over the tortilla. Arrange half of the strawberries over half of the tortilla. Fold the top half over the straw-berries to form a half circle. Repeat for the second quesadilla. Cook quesadil-las in skillet over medium-low heat, turning once, until lightly browned and

heated through (6-8 minutes). Trans-fer to a cutting board, let cool, then cut each into thirds. Learn More: For more recipes and health facts, visit www.peanutpower.org.

Bradford Journal PhotoNancy Allen, Treasurer for the BAHS Alumni Association, and also a member of the Scholarship Committee, was happy to get together with other members, schol-arship recipients, and their guests during a luncheon held at the Pennhills Club, Brad-ford, June 16th. Other members of the Scholarship Committee were Sally Cross, Bill and Donna Moore, Bob and Marilyn Johnson, and Janet Glover. (See more pic-tures in the associated photo gallery.)

Relishing The Moment




Photo by Mary DePalmaIn the wee hours of the morning, June 15th, we found Judy Carr, on a bus fi lled with teens. As the Program and Commu-nity Outreach Coordinator for the Brad-ford Area Public Library (BAPL), she had been asked to chaperone members of the Teen Book Club on a trip to NYC (No-tice her excitement at being up and mov-ing that early.). Following the trip, later in the week, she mentioned that the children were fascinated by, among other things, both the height of the skyscrapers and also the number of people from different countries speaking different languages everywhere they went. The trip was made available through the Bradford Motor Coach- Covered Wagon Tours.

The members of the First Wesleyan Church of Bradford will be holding an old-fashioned tent revival this weekend, June 24th thru the 26th at their facility located at 692 South Kendall Ave. Evangelists Larry and Tamla Leckrone are scheduled to be their guest speakers. Pastor Larry Leckrone of Kurtz, Indi-ana is an ordained elder, a commissioned song-evangelist, and one of only 16 ten-ured evangelists in the Church of the Naz-erene. He and his wife Tamla have traveled around the country for many years con-ducting revivals, camp meetings, concerts, family life festivals and Kids Krusades. Pastor Leckrone is a gifted preacher, sing-er, and trumpet player. Tamla Leckrone is also a talented singer and keyboard player. While in Bradford, the Leckrones will be delivering powerful gospel messages and performing inspirational music during this 3-day event at the First Wesleyan Church. According to Pastor Terri Niver, “with a lack luster economy, multiple acts of ter-ror, and numerous natural disasters, we wanted to bring an uplifting experience to the people in our corner of the world in these uncertain times.” This is not the only event happening at the First Wes-leyan Church this summer. A Christian Music Concert and the return of Drive-In movie nights will be coming up in the next few weeks, as part of the First Wesleyan Church’s summer outreach events. The tent revival weekend gets underway Friday night, June 24th at 7pm with a “Sing Spiritation” and a Coffee House. Saturday, a Kids Fun Event is scheduled from 3pm to 5pm, a Barbeque Dinner follows from 5:00pm to 6:30pm, Revival Service from 7pm to 8pm, and the night ends with a Bon fi re from 8:15pm to 10pm. Sunday, a Revival Service will be held from 10am to Noon. This event is free and opened to the public. Visitors to the tent revival week-end are asked to bring a lawn chair due to limited seating.

How Electronics Affect Your Sleep

Your body functions on a 24-hourinternal clock. This clock is influencedby your physical environment and dailyschedule. Using electronic devicesaround bedtime can throw off your bodyclock and negatively affect your qualityof sleep.

Light and darkness affect your bodyclock. Staring at the blue glow ofelectronic devices – computers, tablets,televisions, gaming systems and/orsmartphones – before bedtime can trickyour body into thinking it’s still daytime.The artificial light sends messages to thebrain to wake up and activates the body.This, in turn, can reset your body clock,delaying your normal sleep cycle.

Studies show that staring at brightscreens within four hours of bedtimereduces melatonin, a hormone thatmakes you naturally tired when it’s timeto sleep. This can cause difficulty whentrying to fall asleep, poor quality of sleepor sleep disorders, such as insomnia.

In the long run, problems sleeping at night can impact you during the day. Lack of proper sleep can lead to impaired focus at work, troubleremembering, fatigue, stress and evenweight gain.

While using electronic devices is one night time distraction, here aresome other common things to avoid to get a good night’s rest:

� Animals

Do not let your pets snuggle with you at night as they typicallyfunction on a different cycle than humans.

� Alcohol

While it initially makes you drowsy, alcohol leaving the bloodstreamwakes the body, interrupting your sleep cycle.

� Vitamins and supplements

Like alcohol, taking a vitamin or supplement too close to bedtime canwake you up later – even if they knock you out initially.

� Caffeine and sugar

Drinking coffee, soda or other sugary beverages should be avoidedwithin four hours of bedtime, otherwise you may be too wired to sleep.

Night Time Stimulants to Avoid

Get Off the Grid

It is important to get 7-9 hours of qualitysleep each night. To get a better night’ssleep, experts recommend:

� Spending at least 30 minutes technology-free before you climb into bed.

� Reading a book or magazine in bedinstead of using an electronic device.

� Making the bedroom a technology-freezone (i.e., no smartphones, tablets,laptops, TV, etc.).

� Using your bed for sleep only – this habitwill create a connection in your mindbetween your bed and sleep.

� Putting caps over electrical outlets in the bedroom to discourage plugging in electronics to recharge.

If your smartphone is your alarm clock, set your phone to sleep mode (do not disturb function) so all calls and texts will be silenced unless it’s an emergency. Be sure to put your phone face down on the nightstand so incoming messages don’twake you up.

Power down tonight and don’t let yourtechnology keep you from a good night’s rest.

Find more resources to help you get abetter night’s rest from Guard Your Health, a health education campaign by the ArmyNational Guard, at guardyourhealth.com.

FAMILY FEATURES

Checking email or flipping through channels instead of sleeping? Playing

video games or browsing social media in bed? If you want to catch

some quality ZZZs, you should put down that smartphone.

The National Sleep Foundation reports nearly 90 percent of adults sleep with at

least one electronic device in their bedroom. However, staring at a screen after 9 p.m.

can zap your body of energy, turning you into a zombie the next day. To get a

good night’s rest, consider shutting off all electronics before climbing into bed.

Route 6 Bridge Job Near Port Allegany

(Port Allegany, PA) – Work to replace a bridge on Route 6 in McKean County gott underway June 21, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transporta-tion (PennDOT). The bridge spans Os-trander Hollow Creek about 2 and a half miles west of Port Allegany. Replacing the bridge will provide drivers with a new, modern structure and allow PennDOT to remove it from McKean County’s struc-turally defi cient list. The current bridge is 23-feet long and dates from 1933. It car-ries an average of almost 2,900 vehicles daily. The replacement work will require closing the current bridge and making use of a detour, which began on June 21. PennDOT’s offi cial detour will direct drivers to use Route 155, Route 446, and Route 46. PennDOT expects the detour to be in place through August 29. Overall work includes replacing the ex-isting, single-span bridge with a pre-cast, concrete box culvert, drainage, approach work, guide rail updates, paving, and mis-cellaneous items. L.C. Whitford Company, Inc. of Wells-ville, New York is the contractor on this $800,000 project, which is expected to be fi nished by mid-November. PennDOT reminds drivers to use cau-tion in construction zones, follow detour signs, obey posted speed limits, and al-ways buckle up. Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffi c delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffi c speed information and access to more than 770 traffi c cameras. 511PA is also available through a smart-phone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.

Get More Potassium With Potatoes (NAPSI)—If you’re like most people, you’re missing out on an important nutri-ent—but there’s a simple and simply deli-cious way to overcome that defi cit. The problem is lack of potassium. A po-tassium-rich diet has been linked, in sev-eral studies, to reduced risk for heart dis-ease and stroke—the two leading causes of death among adults in the U.S. Yet an estimated 97 percent of adults are falling short of the recommended intake. Fortunately, one of the best sources of potassium is a tasty Idaho® potato. It con-tains nearly twice the amount of potassi-um per serving as a banana—and provides roughly one-quarter of your average daily recommended amount of potassium. In fact, Idaho® potatoes are the only fresh potatoes that have been certifi ed heart healthy by the American Heart As-sociation. One great way to increase your potas-sium intake is with this White-on-White Idaho Potato Caulifl ower Soup. This sat-isfying meal is easy to make and great for busy and blustery nights:

White-on-White Idaho Potato Caulifl ower Soup

1 cup fi nely chopped onion2 medium Idaho potatoes (about 1 pound total), peeled and cu into ½-inch cubes32-ounce carton low-sodium vegetable or

chicken broth1 teaspoon garlic powder¼ teaspoon dried rosemary2 cups caulifl ower fl oretsCoarsely ground black pepper1−2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil Heat a large saucepan coated with cook-ing spray over medium heat. Add the on-ions and cook for 3−4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the potatoes, broth, garlic powder and rosemary; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the caulifl ower and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the caulifl ower is soft. Serve as is or puree with an immer-sion blender before serving. Sprinkle with pepper and basil; drizzle oil evenly over all. Estimated Nutritional Analysis per Serv-ing: 168 calories, 0 mg cholesterol, 4 g fat, 104 mg sodium, 9 g protein, 27 g carbohy-drates

Can An Aspirin A Day Keep The Doctor Away? (NAPSI)—Aspirin is a familiar over-the-counter medicine that reduces pain. Taking a low-dose or “baby” aspirin every day has long been recommended to people who have had a heart attack or stroke, so they can prevent another one. Evidence now shows that for peo-ple aged 50 to 69 at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, aspirin can help prevent a heart attack or stroke from happening in the fi rst place and, if tak-en for fi ve to 10 years, can also help prevent colorectal cancer. This is great news because cardiovas-cular disease and cancer are major caus-es of death in the United States. Heart attacks and strokes are responsible for

30 percent of all deaths, and colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer—causing 8.3 percent of all cancer deaths. But just because aspirin is available over the counter doesn’t mean it is safe for everyone to take on a daily basis. Aspirin can cause serious side effects, such as bleeding in the stomach and in-testines, and strokes caused by bleed-ing in the brain. So daily aspirin is only recommended for people who are at in-creased risk of cardiovascular disease and who are not at increased risk for bleeding. You should not begin to take aspirin daily without speaking with your primary care clinician fi rst. Who Should Take Aspirin for Pri-mary Prevention? The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (Task Force) found that how much a person can benefi t from tak-ing aspirin depends on his or her age and risk of cardiovascular disease. Dai-ly use of low-dose aspirin is the most benefi cial for people 50 to 59 years old who have at least a 10 percent chance of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years. The Task Force recom-mends that people in this group start taking aspirin after talking with their primary care clinician. People 60 to 69 years old with in-creased cardiovascular disease risk can also benefi t from taking aspirin, but because the risk of bleeding goes up with age, the overall benefi t is smaller. Therefore, people in this group should make a decision with their primary care clinician about whether or not to take aspirin. It is not clear whether taking aspirin is benefi cial for people with increased risk of cardiovascular disease who are younger than 50 or older than 69. More research in this area is needed. A number of factors go into determin-ing a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease, including age, sex, race, blood pressure level, total cholesterol level, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level—also known as “good

cholesterol.” Whether a person has dia-betes, smokes, or takes blood pressure medication can also affect his or her risk of cardiovascular disease. Talk to your primary care clinician if you are between 50 and 69 years old to deter-mine your risk for cardiovascular dis-ease and for bleeding, and to determine if taking a daily aspirin is right for you. Other Ways to Reduce Your Risk Everyone can reduce his or her risk of cardiovascular disease and colorec-tal cancer by quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet and being physically ac-tive. Keeping blood pressure and cho-lesterol under control can also help pre-vent cardiovascular disease. Regular screening remains an important part of preventing colorectal cancer. The Task Force currently recommends colorectal cancer screening for people 50 to 75 years old, and for some individuals be-tween 76 and 85 years old. Does Aspirin Prevent Other Can-cers, Too? There is growing evidence that as-pirin may also help to prevent cancers other than colorectal cancer, such as cancers of the esophagus and stomach. However, the evidence on aspirin to prevent these cancers is still new and not yet strong enough to be part of a recommendation. No group currently recommends that people take aspirin for the prevention of cancer only, even for people who are at increased risk of cancer. In order for the potential benefi ts of taking aspirin to outweigh the potential risks, a per-son must have increased risk of cardio-vascular disease. Recommendations to Protect Your Health The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is an independent group of na-tional experts in primary care, preven-tion, and evidence-based medicine. The aim of the Task Force’s work is to evaluate and identify critical preven-tive health services that a primary care clinician can perform. For more information on the Task Force and to read the full report “As-pirin Use for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Colorectal Cancer” and the recommendation about screening for colorectal cancer, visit www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org

Understanding PainBefore exploring and choosing long-term treatment options,consider these facts about pain:

1. Pain is output from the brain. While researchers used tobelieve that pain originated within the tissues of the body,newer evidence indicates that pain does not exist until thebrain determines it does. The brain uses a virtual “road map”to direct an output of pain to tissues that it suspects may be in danger. This process acts as a means of communicationbetween the brain and the tissues of the body to serve as adefense against possible injury or disease.

2. The degree of injury does not always equal the degree ofpain. Research has demonstrated that people experience painin individual ways. While some people experience major inju -ries with little pain, others experience minor injuries with a lot of pain.

3. Diagnostic imaging (MRIs, X-rays, CT scans) results maynot show the cause of pain. A 2015 study in Spine, whichanalyzed MRI results of more than 1,200 individuals ages 20-70 who had no symptoms of lower-back pain, found that 87.6percent suffered from bulging discs. Even most subjects intheir 20s had bulging discs – 73.3 percent of males and 78percent of females, respectively.

4. Psychological factors, such as depression and anxiety, canmake pain worse. Pain can be influenced by many differentfactors, such as psychological conditions. A recent study in theJournal of Pain showed that psychological variables that existedprior to a total knee replacement were related to a patient’sexperience of long-term pain following the operation.

5. Your social environment may influence your perception ofpain. Many patients state their pain increases when they are at work or in a stressful situation. Pain messages can be gener -ated when an individual is in an environment or situation thatthe brain interprets as unsafe. It is a fundamental form of self-protection.

6. Understanding pain through education may reduce yourneed for care. A large study conducted on military personneldemonstrated that those who were given a 45-minute educa -tional session about pain sought care for lower-back pain lessthan their counterparts.

7. The brain can be tricked into developing pain in prostheticlimbs. Studies have shown that the brain can be tricked intodeveloping a “referred” sensation in a limb that has beenamputated, causing a feeling of pain that seems to come fromthe prosthetic limb – or from the “phantom” limb. The sen -sation is generated by the association of the brain’s perceptionof what the body is from birth (whole and complete) and what it currently is (post-amputation).

8. The ability to determine left from right may be alteredwhen you experience pain. Networks within the brain thatassist you in determining left from right can be affected whenyou experience severe pain. If you have been experiencingpain and have noticed your sense of direction is a bit off, itmay be because the part of the brain that details a path to eachpart of the body may be impaired.

9. There is no way of knowing whether you have a high paintolerance or not. While some people claim to have a “hightolerance” for pain, there is no accurate way to measure or compare pain tolerance among individuals. While sometools exist to measure how much force you can resist beforeexperiencing pain, it can’t be determined what your pain“feels like.”

America is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Sales of prescription opioids have nearly quadrupled since 1999. According tothe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012 alone enough opioid prescriptions were written for “every Americanadult to have their own bottle of pills.”

Prescription opioids – medications that reduce pain by interrupting pain signals to the brain – only mask the sensation of pain, and they come with side effects including depression, overdose and addiction, plus withdrawal symptoms when stopping opioid use.Pain relief doesn’t have to come in a bottle, however. Physical therapists can provide a safe, drug-free alternative for treating pain.

When to Choose Physical TherapyIn March 2016, the CDC released guidelines urging prescribers to rely less on opioids in favor of non-drug alternatives. The guide -lines recognize that prescription opioids are appropriate in certain cases, including cancer treatment, palliative care and end-of-lifecare, but for most long-term pain management non-opioid approaches are recommended.

The American Physical Therapy Association, through its national #ChoosePT campaign, is reminding patients that they have theright to choose their method of pain treatment. Physical therapists treat pain through movement and patients get to play an activerole in their recovery.

Based on the CDC guidelines, patients should choose non-opioid alternatives, such as physical therapy, when:

The risks of opioid use outweigh the rewards.“Experts agreed that opioids should not be considered first-line or routine therapy for chronic pain,” according to theCDC. “Given the substantial evidence gaps on opioids,uncertain benefits of long-term use and potential for seriousharm, patient education and discussion before startingopioid therapy are critical so that patient preferences andvalues can be understood and used to inform clinicaldecisions.”

Physical therapists can play a valuable role in the patienteducation process, including setting realistic expectationsfor recovery with or without opioids. As the guidelines note,even in cases when evidence on the long-term benefits ofnon-opioid therapies is limited, “risks are much lower” withnon-opioid treatment plans.

Pain or function problems are related to low-backpain, hip or knee osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia.The CDC cited “high-quality evidence” supporting exer-cise as part of a physical therapy treatment plan for thosefamiliar conditions.

Opioids are prescribed for pain. Even in situations whenopioids are prescribed, the CDC recommends that patients shouldreceive “the lowest effective dosage” and opioids “should becombined” with non-opioid therapies, such as physical therapy.Clinicians should continue opioid therapy only if there is “mean -ing ful improvement in pain and function that outweighs risks topatient safety.”

Pain lasts 90 days. At this point, the pain is considered“chronic” and the risks for continued opioid use increase. An esti -mated 116 million Americans are living with chronic pain, but thedanger of masking pain with prescription opioids is clear. Morethan 165,000 people in the United States have died from opioidpain medication-related overdoses since 1999, and every day morethan 1,000 people are treated in emergency departments for mis -using prescription opioids.

If you or a loved one needs help managing pain, talk with yourhealth care provider about safe alternatives to opioids. Additionalinformation on the #ChoosePT campaign, including a pain self-assessment that patients can use to facilitate conversations abouttheir care, is available at MoveForwardPT.com/ChoosePT.
