The Allegheny Highlands Council, Boy Scouts of America recently recog-nized its 2013 Class of Eagle Scouts at Saint Bonaventure University. The Eagle Scouts, along with their parents and scoutmaster, were guests of the council at a dinner in their hon-or. Fifteen of the 36 young men who attained the rank of Eagle Scout were able to attend, along with other past Eagle Scouts. Collectively, the 36 Ea-gle Scouts gave leadership to commu-nity service projects totaling more than 5,400 hours of service. The honorable Jeremiah Moriarity, New York State Supreme Court Justice, was the keynote speaker. Mr. Moriar-ity is an Eagle Scout himself, earning his Eagle Medal in a Troop in Franklin-ville, NY. He was also a member of the Councils Executive Board for many years.

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

Guest Columnist

“A New States’ Right IV” -by Bob Perry With the ability to remove someone from offi ce with the next election and only a few states having recall capability, the need for state to enact laws and take action to hold offenders accountable still needs to be considered. The executive branches of the states and federal government need accountability as well as the legislative and today rarely does any offi ce holder get their due. Start-ing with the simple lies that are told, puni-tive action needs to be addressed. There is no question that telling lies is a childish action and is done so they learn the bound-aries they must adhere to. Politicians who practice lying seemingly never grew up, but they need to be taught the boundaries. Blatant lies by the executive branch of our federal government have been highlighted with the scandals that have been brewing in Washington and there has been no cred-ible action to hold them accountable. The judicial branch for example, an-swerable to and directed by the President, have been selectively not enforcing laws which is a pure violation of their oath of offi ce. I saw any state suffers any effect of such action has a ’right’ to seek relief from such. Both the President and the Attorney General should be the defendants in such action. As we know, to have standing for such a suit, the plaintiffs being the state, has such standing. When considering judicial ac-countability, the Supreme Court, which has virtual immunity to-date, has no rea-

sonable accountability for their decisions. There have been instances whereby their decision has in effect written law and this is blatant unconstitutional. Citing Roe VS Wade, the decision made by the Supreme Court struck down a law that prohibited states from outlawing or regulating any aspect of abortion during the fi rst trimes-ter of pregnancy plus other restrictions in following trimesters. For this to become a law of the land, Congress needed to create such laws but this was not the case. The Court’s responsibilities are: 1) Leads the judicial branch of the Federal Govern-ment; 2) Interprets the Constitution; 3) In-terprets law; 4) Evaluates constitutionality of challenged laws; 5) Settles disputes be-tween states; 6) Hears cases involving the constitution and federal laws on appeal. Whenever the Court fi nds a law being unconstitutional, it is inherent upon the state(s) or Congress to create laws adher-ing to the Court’s decisions. In the case of Roe vs. Wade, their deliberation and de-cision was made under a false claim and testimony and the plaintiff subsequently has attempted to reverse the decision with no success. Laws that are declared uncon-stitutional can be struck down but de facto laws need to be challenged. I hope that the discourse I have elabo-rated on stirs the discussion of what states ability the states can consider to take ac-tion to correct the unconstitutionality that takes place and hold the parties responsi-ble for their improper actions.

For the fi rst time since the end of No-vember of last year, we visited School Street Elementary School where we took a video and photos in Miss Reiley’s fi fth grade classroom. There, one of her classes was reviewing math, in prepara-tion for taking the Foresight tests. We also photographed fi fth grade students in Mrs. Dittman’s classroom who were working with grids and coordinates, and in Mr. Nolan’s classroom during a shared read-ing period where students were busy read-ing and analyzing a short story……..This week’s State of the Union Address was just so much more emotional, meme laden rhetoric from a Presi-dent who, for the past fi ve years has been unable to work with Congress, and therefore unable to deliver work-able examples of his election pledges. As we should have expected, his talk was a string of boiler plated self-indul-gent excerpts from previous speeches, meant to ingratiate himself with vari-ous groups in our country. For example, he said that he was the son of a single woman, everything is fi ne, the econo-my is moving in the right direction, and with Congress’s help we can make it better. And we shouldn’t forget to men-tion his time worn rhetoric of, energy production is up, employment is up, and schools are getting better. He even included an earmark for those who pro-mote educational infl ation, saying that while our educational system is good, we can make it better by placing even more, younger children, not yet ready for school, into preschools. In addition, the President mentioned that he was in contact with CEO’s who are going to rehire more of this country’s long term unemployed. His address, in short, was a bundle of emotional blah, blah, blahs, pieced together from his past many speeches. In all fairness though, we do understand that the power to act resides in the House and in the Senate whose members are bought and paid for by those who wield the largest economic sword. But we still expect him to be straight with the American public in his talks. When he makes the pathetic implication that things in our economy and around the nation are running as they should, or that he is working with Congress, or that Congress is working with him, he becomes complicit in the hypocrisy and charade of a system in need of repair. We suppose it would be too much, to hope for a rewrite of the Constitution, indicating that the Presi-dent, when in public, has only the pow-er to smile and wave to the citizens. But as reactionary as it might sound, we’ll suggest it anyway.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESHow To Spot A Bad Moving Company

-by Jason Alderman Moving is already traumatic and ex-pensive enough; the last thing you want to worry about is getting ripped off by your mover. Yet each year, the Better Business Bureau receives thousands of complaints against moving compa-nies, mostly alleging lost or damaged property, not showing up on time, over-charging – or, in extreme cases, steal-ing or holding customers’ possessions hostage while demanding more money than originally agreed upon. Before you spend hundreds or thou-sands of dollars and entrust your valu-ables with strangers, here are a few tips for ensuring a positive moving experi-ence, as well as scams to avoid: Screen potential movers. All com-panies that do interstate moves must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (www.protectyourmove.gov). You can use its search engine to screen for complaints, safety information and company con-tact information by company name or by the state where its primary business offi ce is located. Moving companies that don’t cross state lines aren’t governed by federal regulations, but rather, by individual state laws. Go to the State/Local Re-sources tab at FMCSA’s site for links to each state’s regulatory resources. Also make sure the company has at least a satisfactory rating from the Better Busi-ness Bureau. Get written estimates. No reputable mover would ever give a fi rm estimate by phone or Internet, sight-unseen. Al-ways insist on in-home inspections of your household goods and detailed, written estimates from at least three to fi ve moving companies so you can get a sense of true market rates. Movers need to know how much stuff you have, whether particularly heavy, valuable or awkward pieces need to be moved, if stairs are involved, and many other details that will affect their costs. Beware if an estimate is signifi cantly less: This is a common ruse by unscru-pulous companies to bind you to their service, then later hit you up for hidden fees – perhaps even refusing to unload your furnishings until you pay up. By law, movers must assume liabil-ity for the value of property they trans-port. Ask for proof your mover has in-surance and make sure you understand what’s covered. Base-line coverage they should provide is called “released-value protection.” It’s free, but if some-thing is lost or broken, they only have to pay you 60 cents per pound. For an additional fee you can purchase “full-

value protection,” where the mover must repair, replace or provide cash settlement for damaged items. Also consider third-party moving insurance. A few additional tips: • Ask if the moving company will handle the entire move itself or hire subcontractors. Apply the same due diligence to any subcontractors. • Ask whether crewmembers are employees or temporary hires and ask to see verifi cation of background checks, either way. • Ask to see the company’s “tar-iff,” which outlines the maximum costs and how they’re calculated, as well as a list of all items for which you could face additional charges.

• Be suspicious if the mover asks for a large cash deposit or full payment in advance. Also, don’t make the fi nal payment until you’re sure everything was delivered undamaged. • Be wary if the company’s web-site has no local address or license and insurance information, they refuse to put everything in writing or they use an unmarked truck rather than a company-owned vehicle. Interstate movers are required by law to give you a copy of the FMCSA’s booklet, “Your Rights and Responsi-bilities When You Move.” Even if your move is only local, be sure to read it for valuable tips.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEAvoid Fad Diets:

Healthy Weight Loss Tips That Work

(StatePoint) Losing weight to look good may be a great motivator. An even better motivator is to get healthier, as ex-cess fat tissue breeds infl ammation, which can contribute to many debilitating and deadly diseases. And according to many doctors, even just a modest amount of ex-tra weight can be damaging to your health. When it comes to diets, if you’ve “tried them all” and failed, some experts say that could be part of the problem. “Most diet books and programs prom-ise a quick fi x for weight loss -- for ex-ample, avoiding all carbs, eating only raw foods or amping up protein. These fad diets show little respect for the fact that a well-balanced, nutritious diet is criti-cal for our bodies to function properly,” warns Dr. Jennifer Sacheck, an associate professor of Nutrition at Tufts University and co-author of the book, “Thinner this Year: A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit, and Sexy.” In “Thinner this Year,” Sacheck, along with motivational speaker and co-author Chris Crowley, offer a laymen’s explana-tion of the science of diet and exercise, believing that if people truly understand what’s going on inside their bodies, then they’re more likely to make long-term lifestyle changes. “You don’t need a fancy gadget and there is no single magic exercise,” says Crowley. “Health and wellness means a serious lifetime commitment to good nu-trition and plenty of exercise.” With that in mind, the writing duo is offering some tips for losing weight the healthy way and keeping it off for life: • Make up your mind. Set your goal and go for it. This will mean embracing changes in your habits and routines. • Exercise for the rest of your life. Stay motivated by keeping things interesting and changing your workout routine peri-odically. Try new exercise classes or sign up for a big race. “Exercise works like crazy and it changes lives. Big time,” says Crowley. • Eat less and be mindful. Don’t “su-per-size yourself.” At the same time, don’t skip meals. Doing so can lower your me-tabolism and make you more susceptible to binge eating later. • Don’t eat “dead food,” -- food that is loaded with calories and offers little nu-tritional value. Skip or limit refi ned fl our, refi ned sugar, high fat meat and solid fat. Eat healthy fats in moderation and avoid saturated and trans fat. Likewise, don’t drink your calories. Instead, load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean meats. • Learn more. Truly understand the changes that are taking place inside your body as a result of your hard work, so you can be motivated to keep going.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Is it true that we should eat only deeply colored vegetables and fruits? A: No. The deep color in vegetables such as deep green broccoli and spinach, orange carrots and sweet potatoes, and red tomatoes is a sign they contain health-ful plant compounds called phytochemicals. The color of red and pink grapefruit indicates presence of the healthful compound lycopene that is absent from white grapefruit. However, white produce is valuable, too. Onions, garlic, caulifl ower and white mushrooms all provide compounds that seem to inhibit several steps in the process of cancer development. White potatoes provide vitamin C and fi ber, as well as other nutrients. The problem is just that many Americans rely on white potatoes for far too great a proportion of their vegetable choices, ignoring others. Aiming for all the colors of the rainbow is one good strategy for choosing vegeta-bles you eat daily, but unlike rainbows in the sky, the rainbow on your plate can include white.

(Family Features) When family and friends gather together to watch the game, loading up the table with a vari-ety of easy-to-grab, fl avorful appetizers is a winning plan. After all, casual food and good times are what game day is all about. In the world of appetizers, dip is king. From savory to sweet, this simple tail-gating party addition can take on fl a-vors that span the globe, or that are as American and as beloved as the gridi-ron game itself. • Keep it light – A tailgating scene can seem overwhelming for those who don’t want to splurge all their day’s cal-ories, so be sure to have lots of fresh, crunchy vegetables on hand. Start with your standard dippers – like sliced car-rots, broccoli and cucumbers – or score big with unique vegetable dipper op-tions – like snap peas, asparagus spears and radishes. This recipe for Cucumber Cups creates simple and crunchy bite-sized noshes with a delicious dip of Sabra Hummus in the center. For more great game day recipes, visit www.sa-bra.com. • Serve Delightful Dippers – Po-tato and tortilla chips go hand-in-hand with tailgating festivities, but beyond these standards is a whole world of other dipping options. For a Mediter-ranean touch, go with fl atbread, pita bread or pita chips. Instead of plain old butter rounds, opt for more texture with multi-grain crackers that include raw fl ax, chia or sesame seeds. Or, serve up a warm batch of buffalo wings with this smoky and spicy recipe for Hummus Buffalo Wing Dip. • Offer Variety – A large spread of dippers calls for a wide assortment of scrumptious dips. As an alternative to sour cream or cheese-based dips – which are loaded with fat, preservatives and sodium – serve up an assortment of delicious Sabra Hummus. Hummus of-fers up the protein, iron and fi ber that other dips lack. Incorporate a few of these dip tips into your game day strategy and watch as fans huddle up to fi ll their plates.

Hummus Buffalo Wing Dip

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar1 teaspoon olive oil1 tablespoon tomato paste1 teaspoon Dijon mustard1/4 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon onion powder1 teaspoon smoked paprika1 cup Sabra hummus

Whisk fi rst seven ingredients together (vinegar through paprika). Add Sabra hummus and combine thoroughly.

2nd Annual Bradford Brewfest On Tap For Saturday, February 8th (Bradford, PA)--The Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce, Glenwood Beer Distributors, and Bradford City Beers will be hosting the 2nd Annual Bradford Brewfest on Saturday, Feb-ruary 8th. This fun event, returning by popular demand, is scheduled for 5-9 pm at the gymnasium at St. Bernard School, 450 West Washington Street. Bradford Brewfest, open to the public, is designed to offer attendees the chance to sample a wide variety of craft beers. Glenwood Beer Distributors will be offering samples of a variety of fl avors from more than nine different brew-eries: Penn Brewing Company, Pitts-burgh, Pennsylvania; VooDoo Brewing Company, Meadville, Pennsylvania; Great Lakes Brewing Company, Cleve-land, Ohio; Spoetzel Brewery, Shiner, Texas; Harpoon Brewery, Windsor, Vermont; Summit Brewery, St. Paul, Minnesota; Shipyard Brewing Com-pany, Portland, Maine; Hop City Brew-ing Company, Brampton, Ontario; Just Beer Project, Burlington, Vermont; and many more. Samples will be arranged by catego-ry so that attendees can choose to ex-plore a variety of fl avors among their favorite brew types or venture into new styles with which they are less famil-iar. “There should be something to suit every taste, and even to appeal to those people who usually say, ‘I’m not a beer drinker.’ I learned a lot from last year’s event about the different styles and fl a-vors available – Brewfest is a great way to explore new tastes and spend a fun evening with friends,” said Kara Ken-nedy, BACC Event Coordinator. Cat-egories will include ciders, lagers, ales, porters/stouts/bocks, seasonal, etc. Ad-ditional beers and other beverages will be available for purchase from the bar area. Tickets are available at the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce, 121 Main

Street, Bradford from 10am-4pm Mon-day through Friday, at an advance tick-et price of $20 per person. Ticket price includes a souvenir sampling glass, ten craft beer sample tickets, and a door prize ticket. Only 300 tickets will be sold, so purchasing tickets in advance is strongly encouraged. At the door, tickets will be $25 per person. Designated Driver tickets are also available for $10 per person and in-clude free soda and water. All attend-ees must be 21 or older, and must bring appropriate identifi cation – IDs will be scanned at the entrance. Everyone at-tending must register at the entrance to receive their wristband designating full ticket or designated driver. Wristbands are required to be served any beverage or food at the event. This year’s live entertainment will be provided by the popular group, Two Guys Drinking Beer. “We’ve had several requests to bring these guys in for one of our events. People love their music, and Two Guys Drinking Beer seemed like the perfect match for Bradford Brewfest,” stated Ron Orris, BACC Executive Director.

Additional features of the Bradford Brewfest will include local restaurants participating as food vendors, a Chi-nese auction with brew-themed items and other fun prizes, and a 50/50 draw-ing. Bradford Summer Brewfest t-shirts will be available to purchase, and door prize drawings will be held throughout the evening. A new item available for purchase this year will be pretzel neck-laces, made by the students at St. Ber-nard School. Attendees can purchase a necklace to nibble on between samples to cleanse the palate, and all proceeds from the necklace sales will go to St. Bernard School. In addition to Signature Sponsor Glenwood Beer Distributors and Brad-ford City Beers, Bradford Brewfest has received support from Silver Sponsors Kessel Construction, Inc. and Blaisdell Foundation, and Bronze Sponsor US Energy Development Corporation.

Game Day Party Tips for Football Fans (StatePoint) Entertaining this foot-ball season? To make your gatherings memorable, you’ll need to do more than just turn on the game and hope for the best. With the right party plays, you can treat your guests to a spirited game day and a memorable football feast. Try incorporating these game chang-ing ideas into your regular party play-book:

Team Spirit Get your friends geared up for game time from the moment they arrive. Hang a team banner in your entryway and adorn your yard with your team’s colors. Pump up your crowd by playing your favorite game-time tunes. Even if all your guests are rooting for the same team, spice it up with some friendly competition, like wagering on who hosts the crowd for the next game. Have face paint on hand and encour-age your guests to arrive early so the party is well underway at kick-off.

Scoring Big with Dips Food is usually the main attraction at most festivities, and football-themed “home-gating” parties are no excep-tion. Give your spread a thematic look by making a mini football fi eld out of your table. Use AstroTurf as your table-cloth. Then space white tape stripes at intervals for the yard lines. But you can really score big with the food. Dips are the MVP of home par-ties, according a recent survey con-ducted by ConAgra Foods. More than half of the respondents said their guests reach for dips fi rst. And RO*TEL and VELVEETA Famous Queso Dip re-mains king at parties, beating out gua-camole, salsa, spinach artichoke and buffalo chicken dip. So please your crowd and make game day delicious with a quick, easy and zesty dip. If you’re one of the many that have never heard of or made que-so dip, try this simple crowd-pleasing recipe, made with only two ingredients, RO*TEL and VELVEETA:

Ingredients:

• 1 can (10 oz.) RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained

• 1 lb. (16 oz.) VELVEETA, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions:

• Combine undrained tomatoes and cheese in microwaveable bowl.

• Microwave on high for 5 minutes or until VELVEETA is melted completely and mixture is blended, stirring after

3 minutes.

• Serve warm as a dip with tortilla chips, crackers or cut-up fresh vegetables.

Ultimate Queso Bash No matter where the football festivi-ties take place, queso dip is a fan fa-vorite. The VELVEETA & RO*TEL Quesobago, an RV loaded with queso dip, is making a cross-country tour to

college football’s hottest rivalries to in-troduce queso to a new crowd. While it only takes two ingredients to create crowd-pleasing Famous Queso Dip, you can make it your own with a pinch of personality. For queso customiza-tions, visit www.quesoforall.com For the perfect pigskin party, make your football fete fun, festive and crea-tively delicious.

Easy-to-Make Italian Meals (Family Features) In an effort to squeeze in valuable time together, more families are zooming past the drive-thru and head-ing home to the table for simpler, satisfy-ing and more wholesome dinners. Busy schedules can make dinnertime a challenge for many families. With sports practices, dance rehearsals and after-school activities galore, many parents are doing well by just getting their little ones to the right place at the right time. These days, with so much time spent outside of the home, the time spent around the dinner table is priceless. Bring everyone together with an Ital-ian feast With its savory blend of cheeses, sweet garlic and rich sauces, it’s hard to deny the delicious fl avors of Italian cuisine. By combining a few simple, scrumptious ele-ments, you’ll fi nd it’s quite easy to bring the taste of Italy into your own home. Gather the family together with the many fl avorful options available at your local grocery store, such as Michael Angelo’s Gourmet Foods, which offers prepared Italian meals boasting homemade fl avor without the fuss. Here are a few authentic Italian meal ideas to incorporate into your next week-night routine, so you can deliver a dinner that satisfi es every family member.Serve up a salad A crispy, crunchy salad is the perfect starter for an Italian meal and can be tossed together in a matter of minutes. For a simple take on salad, just combine fresh greens – such as chopped romaine hearts – thinly sliced red onions and croutons. To add more fl avor and texture, throw in fresh mozzarella, chopped radicchio, cherry to-matoes and pepperoncini. Don’t forget to fi nish with a generous splash of savory Italian dressing.

Fuss-free entrees There’s nothing more comforting than a warm dish of fl avorful pasta at the end of a long day. When such fl avorful dishes can

be created with the touch of a button, eve-ryone wins. Serve up the delicious combi-nation of vine-ripened tomatoes, sautéed onions, 100 percent semolina lasagna pas-ta, ground beef and premium cheeses in Michael Angelo’s Meat Lasagna. Or, try their Eggplant Parmesan, made with farm-fresh eggplant, imported olive oil, Italian spices and a blend of imported Pecorino and Parmesan cheeses. Warm, garlic goodness A plate of hearty, wholesome Italian food would not be complete without a side of fragrant, warm garlic bread. Heat

up an easy, pre-made variety in the oven, or make your own by simply topping your favorite variety of sliced bread with but-ter, garlic, Parmesan cheese and oregano. Fill your kitchen with ingredients and products that allow you to fi x easy meals that bring the whole family together. They’re the perfect dinnertime solution for busy parents who want to serve a whole-some, better-for-you meal to their family, but don’t always have the time or skills to cook from scratch.

We have mature kitties who know their manners and need a new home. They have all their shots

and have been spayed/neutered, and have their front paws

declawed, therefore they must remain inside cats. If interested in helping us find a new home call the

Bradford Journal at: 465-3468 anytime and leave a

message/name/number, and we will get back to you with more

information.

I will clean out your basement or garage;

thaw frozen pipes; clean off snow

and ice-covered roofs; and do sidewalk

snow removal also.
