What Happens if Your Social Security or Pension Benefits Are Cut?
By Doug Carey
Last November American Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection. Many of American’s employees are in a defined-benefit pension plan, which means American Airlines promised them a certain amount of money each year in retirement, regardless of what the markets do.

About Town with Lavern Johnson February 9, 2012
Wow, what a lot of good wet snow. Just what we needed! However, schools were cancelled. I think the School District has a few “snow” days planned, and we don’t want to endanger the students waiting for the bus or taking them to school in the early morning. We do have to say, Lyons is in the “Banana” Belt, not as much snow, not so cold, nor not much wind, and it melted fast.

Managing Your Weight
Free Health Lecture in BroomfieldIt’s no secret that the United States has a major weight problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 70 percent of U.S. adults aged 20 years and older are either overweight or obese. If these rates stay at that high level, Americans will face substantial health problems. Being overweight or obese increases the likelihood of developing diabetes, heart disease, stroke, breathing problems, some cancers, osteoarthritis and gall bladder disease.

It is supposed to snow again this week and again next week. Although not a lot of snow, it gives us some needed moisture. There is a drought in Texas and other states, so be glad when we get some snow. The winds of over 100 mph last week did damage to trees, fences, and roofs, etc. At least it got rid of all that ice, which is the most we can say for it.
