“Influence On Policymakers” -by Bob Perry A new study has been conducted en-titled ‘Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens’ by Martin Gilens of Princeton University and Benjamin I Page of Northwestern University. The study was dated April 9, 2014 and can be accessed at the following web site:(http://www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/Gilens%20homepage%20materials/Gilens%20and%20Page/Gilens%20and%20Page%202014-Testing%20Theories%203-7-14.PDF) This would certainly be a great sub-ject to write on for college students as well as high school students. The study was done using four theoretical tradi-tions which are: Majoritarian Electoral Democracy; Economic Elite Domina-tion; Majoritarian Pluralism; Biased Pluralism. Note that there are numer-ous charts which depict consideration that were made in the study. Theories on Majoritarian Electoral Democracy are based upon policy be-ing infl uenced by the collective will of average citizens with democratic elec-tions being the power giver. Over time public policy changes little making the study hard to reach conclusions. Theories of Economic Elite Domina-tion clearly are based on policy mak-ing being dominated by those who have substantial and excessive fi nancial re-sources. There are differences of the elite in policy desires which are present from the far right thru the far left. With-out question today we see infl uences as the political donations to candidates and parties has expanded to dangerous levels. Theories of Biased Pluralism, which is a struggle of unrepresented interest groups, showed in the study that public policy results in more infl uence by cor-porations along with business and pro-fessional groups. Notable the average worker is losing their voice and this is very visible in the fact the labor move-ment has been declining. Theories of Majoritarian Pluralism, which is the formation of policies that would be mostly representative of the needs and interests of the population in general, would impose pressure on policy makers to not take actions that would not negatively affect the gener-al population. The intent of this is to prevent tyranny of various sorts. The issuance of paper money was cited as an example and today the issuance of
paper money could be identifi ed as a tyranny against all of us. The study is impressive and suggests that all interested give it a read with an open mind. Consider it an educa-tion which will provide insights as to who has infl uence on policy makers and what infl uence you, as a voter, has. There are winners and losers on any policy that is made. There is a growing number of so-called winners who get Social Security, unemployment insur-ance, Medicare and food stamps. As long as the policies protect these ben-efi ts, the policy makers will make you feel like you have infl uence. We are threatened as a democratic so-ciety if the infl uence on policy making continues to tilt in the favor of special interest and elites.
We stopped at the Hanley Park on a beautiful sunny day, Monday, April 24th to see how well the park was being utilized. And we walked away with a good deal of information that is included as photo editorial throughout this edition. We also stopped in on the fi rst day of the YMCA’s Summer Swim Program to photograph many of last seasons Barracuda swim team members learning to be “land sharks.” Enjoy this week’s pictures.……..Remember the annual Bar Stool Open to be held this coming weekend, April 26th. As we mentioned in our last edition, the event is a putt-putt golf tournament wherein teams go from pub to pub, dressed in all types of costumes “whetting their whistle” as needed, and compete with one another at holes designed by each establishment. Join in on the fun and become a member of a team, or just sit at your local participating club and watch the fun.……..Stinkfest 2014 will take place Saturday, May 3rd in East Bradford. Sponsors for the spe-cial notice in this issue of the Bradford Journal are Hedlund Glass, The New Keystone, Man’s World, Bottorf Em-broidery & Screen Printing, Smith’s Watch & Clocks, and Monte’s Restau-rant….We continue with last week’s comments on the recent move to al-low the use of Radar by local and township policemen in Pennsylvania. Such a change would certainly make a policemen’s jobs easier (speeding ci-tations would be more easily upheld in magisterial courts), and make local elected government offi cials happy, since new funds thereby created would fl ow into their coffers without having to increase taxes. But there is a danger in all of this. Radiation! State troopers us-ing radar devices suffer higher rates of testicular cancer. Again, one medical ex-pert, suggests a potential for sperm muta-tion through random radiation, leading to an increased chance of birth defects, even if radar devices are positioned away from the user’s lap. In addition there have been no studies to determine the effects of ran-dom radiation poisoning when radar de-vices are used in densely populated areas. Just as cell phones have become suspect in brain cancer and head tumor production, so too, radar radiation is likely to cause undetected cellular anomalies in densely populated areas such as the townships and the cities. Obviously there will be those who pooh-pooh such concerns, but to those, we would suggest that they look into the history of the tobacco industry, where their 30-year denial of the cancer causing effects of smoking, resulted wide-spread malignancies and needless deaths.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESReining in Prom Expenses
-by Jason Alderman If you’ve got teenagers, you already know how expensive high school can be. Besides food, clothing and school sup-plies, a whole host of extracurricular ac-tivities are competing for a share of your wallet – even as you frantically try to save for college and your own retirement. One of the biggest expenses you’ll en-counter is prom. Gone are the days of bor-rowing dad’s suit and crepe paper stream-ers in the school gym: Today’s proms are often more like a Hollywood premiere with limousines, designer gowns and swanky after-parties. I’m not kidding. According to a recent nationwide survey conducted by Visa Inc., the average U.S. family with a high school student attending the prom expects to spend $978 this year. Surprisingly, that’s down 14 percent from last year’s survey average of $1,139 per family. A few other interesting statistics the survey uncovered: • On average, parents plan to pay for about 56 percent of prom costs, with their kids picking up the remaining 44 percent. • Parents in lower income brackets (less than $50,000 a year) plan to spend an average of $733 – a considerable share of the family budget. Thankfully, that’s down signifi cantly from last year’s $1,245 estimate. • Those earning over $50,000 will spend an average of $1,151. Here’s a breakdown of how those prom dollars typically get spent: • New prom dresses often cost $100 to $500 or more. • Plan on spending another couple hundred for shoes, accessories, fl owers and professionally styled hair, nails and make-up. • New tuxedos cost several hundred dollars, not to mention the formal shirt, tie, studs and shoes you’ll need. Even renting all this will likely run over $150. • Figure at least $80 an hour plus tip to rent a limousine for a minimum of four to six hours. • Prom tickets typically cost $50 to $150 per person, depending on venue, en-tertainment, meals, etc. And don’t forget about commemorative photos. • The couple will probably need at least $50 for a nice pre-prom meal. • After-parties can run anywhere from a few bucks at the bowling alley to hundreds of dollars for group hotel suites. As with weddings and vacations, spending on prom can easily spiral out of control, especially if your teenager isn’t used to sticking to a budget. Use this as a learning experience by getting your kid involved making tough decisions, helping to prioritize expenses from vital to non-
essential. To help with the prom budgeting pro-cess, Visa launched a free smartphone app last year called Plan’it Prom. You simply enter your budgeted amounts for each item and then track actual spending on your phone or tablet as you shop. The app also includes budgeting tips, a photo gallery and a timeline for tracking pre-prom deadlines. Plan’it Prom is available at the iTunes store, the Google Play store and from www.practicalmoneyskills.com/prom. Here are a few prom cost-saving ideas: • Shop for formal wear at consign-ment stores or online. As with tuxedos, many outlets rent formal dresses and ac-
cessories for one-time use. • Have make-up done at a department store’s cosmetics department or fi nd a tal-ented friend to help out. • Split the cost of a limo with other couples, or drive yourselves. • Team up with other parents to host a pre-prom dinner buffet or after-party. • Take pre-prom photos yourself and have the kids use their cellphones or digi-tal cameras for candid shots at various events. Bottom line: You want to ensure your child has a memorable high school experi-ence, but not at the expense of your over-all budget.

Article submitted The weekly meeting of Top’s # 16 was held on Thursday, April 17th at the First Presbyterian Church with leader Vickie Johnson calling the meeting to order with the Top’s Pledge. The song was “ Pounds Off Parade to the tune of the Easter Parade”. There were 35 members weighing in with a loss of 30 pounds. Best Loser in Waiting was Betty Austin and Offi cers of the Week were Carole Van Sickle and Donna Douthit. The Treasurer’s report was given by Anna Wells. A Birthday award was given to Bev Hannon. The inspirational mes-sage was given by Bev Hannon: “God blesses us with people who brighten up our days by taking time to listen to and to care”. A Household Hint was given by Linda Hedlund: “Coffee Fil-ters: put them between plates when storing. Also inside non stick pots and pans to keep the surfaces from getting scratched when you stack them - this is safe stacking. Also use them for dis-posable bowls for snacks like popcorn, chips, etc.” The Fashion Tip and Joke was given by Jean Miller: “Never put a garment on immediately after ironing, as this can actually cause new wrinkles to form. Instead, let it sit for fi ve min-utes to set the press”. The program by Liz Tanner, was on Tips for trying to change our habits and lifestyle, and also about the Physi-cal Actions we should be doing. The meeting was adjourned with the Top’s Prayer and the Friendship Circle.

Should Know (NAPSI)—Worldwide there are an es-timated 1.5 million advanced cancer pa-tients who experience the disease spread-ing to their bones. If you are a patient with cancer, or care for someone who is, here are a few facts you should know. Bone metastases, or the spread of can-cer to the bone, can be a serious complica-tion that often goes unaddressed and af-fects a substantial portion of patients with cancer from solid tumors, including: • More than two-thirds of advanced breast cancer patients. • Up to 90 percent of advanced prostate cancer patients. • Approximately 36 percent of ad-vanced lung cancer patients. The Importance Of Bone Health If left untreated, bone metastases can weaken bones and even cause them to break. Therefore, it’s important for pa-tients with advanced cancer to understand their bone health and speak with their doc-tors about the steps they can take to better protect themselves. “Patients and their loved ones may not understand the impact cancer can have on their bones,” says Rita Lusen, BreastCan-cer.org. “The Bone Health in Focus initia-tive provides resources, advice and tips to educate patients and caregivers, and en-courages them to speak with their doctors about options to help prevent problems caused by cancer spreading to the bones.” Bone Health in Focus™ Initiative To help educate people on the impor-tance of bone health, Amgen has collabo-rated with leading advocacy organizations, including BreastCancer.org, Us TOO In-

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Will adopting a vegetarian diet help me lose weight? A: It may. Vegetarians, especially vegans (who eat no animal products at all) do tend to be less overweight than non-vegetarians. But to lose weight, you’ve got to eat fewer calories than you burn. Vegetarian diets typically include lots of vegetables and fruits, which contain fewer calories than the same size portion of most other foods. So by following this type of diet, you may automatically reduce your calories. Overeating even healthful vegetarian foods though, will likely keep you from losing weight. For example, a serving of vegetarian foods such as guacamole, cheese, nuts and seeds - are actually higher in calories than a serving of some seafood, poultry and lean meat. Other sources of excess calories from vegetarian foods include beverages like sodas, alcohol and even juice, smoothies and sweetened milk alternatives. Intervention studies show that as long as people limit calories, a vegetarian diet does not produce any greater weight loss than a non-vegetarian option. If you tend to eat portions larger than you need or eat in response to stress or emotions, those are habits to address regardless of the type of diet you eat. A vegetarian diet is one alternative for a diet that can both promote good health and provide fi lling amounts of low-calorie foods to promote weight loss. Even if you don’t completely adopt a vegetarian diet, you can replace some of your high calorie food and drinks with non-starchy vegetables and unsweetened drinks. You can also reduce your portion size of other foods to cut calories with a plant-focused, but non-vegetarian, eating pattern.

How of-ten? 4) What are my options? 5) What are the possible risks of bone metastases? 6) Where can I go for more informa-tion? 7) Is there anything else I should know?

(ELDRED, PA) — "N1XF Is Going Down," by author Steve Jackson is a real life story of a father and daughter who ex-perienced a grueling plane crash. This new book out nationwide narrates how Pat and his companions found their way out of the thick Allegany forest and the small mira-cles of the day that can only be described as divine intervention. "November One X-Ray Foxtrot is go-ing down," was Pat’s fi nal transmission before impacting the trees. Screaming, "We're alive. Thank God we're alive," was what he remembered uttering aloud as he and his companions trudged through the knee-deep snow. With its tail still hanging up in the trees, they scrambled away from the mangled remains of N1FX. Published by Tate Publishing and En-terprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or ama-zon.com. Jackson started to take fl ight lessons in early 2000, with the goal of attending Jamestown Community College.

New Course Teaches Parents Lifesaving Skills (NAPSI)—For parents and child care providers, the stats about acciden-tal injuries of children up to age 19 are daunting—but you can protect your own kids. The Problem More than 12,000 children die from accidental injuries each year and more than 9.2 million are treated in the ER for nonfatal injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control. A Solution To provide fi rst aid and CPR skills, along with peace of mind, the Ameri-can Heart Association—the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organiza-tion dedicated to fi ghting heart disease and stroke—has a new online course, Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED, Part One. The course is designed to meet the training needs of child care providers in almost all 50 states but it’s also a ro-bust resource for parents, grandparents, teachers, babysitters or anyone respon-sible for the care and safety of children. The Web-based, self-directed program uses real-life scenarios and interactive lessons to teach day care workers and others how to manage infants’ or chil-dren’s illnesses and injuries until emer-gency medical services arrive. Child care providers and others will learn crit-ical fi rst aid skills, ranging from how to create a safe environment to prevent injuries in the fi rst place, to lifesaving CPR.
“Reacting quickly and effectively in an emergency is vital because unin-tentional injuries are the leading cause of death of U.S. children,” said Jeff A. Woodin, Lieutenant Firefi ghter/Na-tional Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Paramedic. “This unique hybrid course with online and hands-on skill components educates child care providers and parents about the four steps of fi rst aid and a variety of fi rst aid skills,” said Woodin, who is Imme-diate Past Chair of the AHA First Aid Subcommittee and a member of the In-ternational Liaison Committee on Re-suscitation First Aid Task Force. The training course is an all-in-one solution to learn four key steps in giv-
ing fi rst aid: prevention, being safe, calling 9-1-1 and taking action. Addi-tionally, the course includes adult CPR/AED, child mask, infant mask and asthma care training. The course meets the regulatory requirements for child care workers, but its contents are also invaluable skills for parents to learn so they are empowered to care for their children in the event of an emergency.

Tips On Keeping Children Safer Around Dogs (NAPSI)—Those who don’t believe dog bites pose a serious problem in the U.S. are barking up the wrong tree.
Consider the following:
• An estimated 4.7 million dog bites oc-cur in the U.S. each year.
• Nearly 800,000 of those bites require medical care.
• The insurance industry pays more than $1 billion in dog-bite claims each year.
Fortunately, there are steps that par-ents can take to reduce the risk of prob-lems when children and dogs interact. The fi rst is to educate their chil-dren and supervise them when they are around dogs. Studies have found that the No. 1 dog-bite prevention measure is education. Children who understand how to act around dogs, how to play with dogs, when to leave dogs alone and how to properly meet a dog are much less likely to be bitten.
What can parents do?
To help parents supervise their chil-dren when around dogs, here are some safe rules of behavior for kids, suggest-ed by the Accident Attorneys Organiza-tion:
• Don’t treat a dog unkindly.
• Never hit, kick, slap or bite a dog or pull on his ears, tail or paws.
• Don’t bother a dog when she is busy.
• Never bother dogs with puppies or dogs that are playing with or guarding toys, eating or sleeping. Always leave service dogs alone while they are work-ing.
• Don’t approach a dog you don’t know.
• Never approach a dog that is tied up, behind a fence or in a car.
Always make slow movements, set things down carefully and don’t run when you’re around dogs, as this gets them excited and they may accidently hurt you.
What can dog owners do?
Here are some tips for dog owners that can help to reduce the risk of prob-lems:
• Supervise your dog.
Dogs left on their own may feel un-certain and defensive, or even overly
confi dent, and this poses risks to your dog, as well as to other people and dogs.
• Train and socialize your dog.
Be sure your dog interacts with and has good manners around all members of the family, the public and other ani-mals. Basic training is as important for the owner as it is for the dog, and so-cialization is the key to a well-adjusted adult dog. The Accident Attorneys Organiza-tion has created a downloadable safety guide for dog owners and parents. It also explains the laws governing dog bites. For a copy, visit:

Tire Maintenance Is Key To Safe Summer Driving (NAPSI)—Tires are the only thing be-tween you and the road, so it’s imperative motorists stay on top of tire maintenance. Proper tire maintenance is important all year, but especially in the summer months as the temperature starts heating up and the frequency of tire blowouts increases. Improper tire care contributes to 195 fatalities and 6,300 injuries each year, ac-cording to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration. The agency also estimates that about 11,000 tire-related crashes occur annually. Simply checking your tire pressure can help you and your passengers stay safe during your next summer journey. To get the most from your tires this summer, here are fi ve maintenance tips from the world’s largest independent tire and wheel retailer-Discount Tire: 1. Get Pressure Right—Low tire pres-sure can decrease fuel economy. Tires may lose up to one pound PSI (per square inch) of air pressure per month. The specifi c in-fl ation pressure number may be found on the vehicle placard located inside the driv-er’s door. Don’t forget those trailer tires. Checking the tire pressure for boat, travel and utility trailers is as important as your car or truck. 2. Don’t Overload—Overloading your vehicle or trailer decreases fuel economy due to increased cargo weight. Handling, control and braking are also negatively impacted. 3. Rotate Before You Go—Regular ro-tation helps achieve uniform tire wear and improves road performance. Tires rotated every 5,000 miles have longer life and will help maximize your tire investment. 4. Straighten Up—Proper wheel align-ment provides safe, predictable vehicle control and helps tires wear evenly and last longer. If your tires squeal when you turn or if you notice your steering wheel veers to one side while driving straight, it’s time to get your wheels re-aligned. 5. Bald Isn’t Beautiful—Lack of tread affects the tire’s ability to grip the road, es-pecially in wet conditions. Make sure tires don’t have uneven wear, which indicates something is wrong with the tire. High or low spots or unusually smooth areas may decrease traction and increase the risk of road accidents. “Maintaining tire pressure is one of the most critical things motorists can do to improve road safety while getting the most from their tires,” said Mark Marru-fo of Discount Tire. “Improperly infl ated tires lead to decreased steering and brak-ing control as well as excessive tire wear and fuel consumption. Taking fi ve min-utes each month to inspect your tires will go a long way in keeping you and your passengers safe.” A Five-Minute Fix Checking tire pressure and tread is easy
and can pay dividends when it comes to fuel economy and handling. Don’t go by appearances. Use a tire gauge to check the pressure since a tire can be 50 percent un-derinfl ated but still not appear fl at. Make it a habit to check tire pressure every month and always before a long journey. Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure and don’t for-get to check the spare and trailer tires. “Most people forget to check the pres-
sure in the spare tire and come to fi nd that when they need it, the spare is fl at,” said Marrufo. “This simple check could keep you from a costly tow if you get stuck with a fl at.” Road trippers should also check tire tread depth by using the “penny test.” In-sert a penny upside down into the tread. If you see Abe Lincoln’s entire head, it’s time to replace the tire. To learn more about tire safety, visit www.discounttire.com
(NAPSI)—Many drivers fi nd that if they want to make their car last, it pays to put it fi rst. Taking good care of your car means you are more likely to avoid prob-lems, both now, while you’re driving it, and later, when you sell it. To improve the life of your vehicle and its price at resale, it’s a good idea to get it serviced regularly. The car will not only run better, it will be highlighted on a Car-
