First Night Bradford Back On TrackThe First Night Bradford Committee is excited to announce that on Friday, Jan-uary 16th, the fi nal reinstatement paper-work was sent out for the 501(c)3 and should be returned within 90 days. This process could not have been completed without the assistance of Jim Smith and Sherry Deeter of Smith, Best, and Stoneking CPA. We appreciate the time and effort that went into this progres-sion and look forward to reinstatement of our 501(c)3 tax exempt status. Jim Tingley, newly appointed Chair-man of the First Night Bradford Com-mittee, has recently taken over and under his direction and approval of the committee, several modifi cations have been made to the structure of the organization. Functional Teams have been established to focus on the several different categories of the New Years’ Cultural and Arts Festival. Team categories include Finance, Entertainment, Advertising and Pub-lic Relations, Technology, Venues and

Vendors, Public Works and City, and the Finale Team. These teams will function semi-autonomously, headed by a Team Leader, working alongside the main FNB committee to complete responsibilities necessary under the du-ties assigned to each individual team and within the assigned team budget. Starting in February we will begin the process of contacting venues and securing locations to host the variety of acts. We want to emphasize that this is not just a FNB Committee event, but it is a “Community Event” and needs community wide participation. We look at the organizations that will serve as venues as partners in this endeavor and hope that those approached will be excited as we are to participate in this event. After we receive notice that our 501c3 status has been reinstated, we plan to kick off our Annual Campaign. We anticipate this to be in May or early June. This is a critical function for our

committee as we seek to secure funding from both our corporate and individual sponsors for our 2016 First Night. Be-cause we are coming off a missed year, we want to make this year’s event big-ger and better than ever and that means a fairly large budget. This will only be possible through the generous contri-butions of our corporate sponsors and the community at large. We would like to sincerely thank eve-ryone who has had a hand in making the past two decades of, First Night Bradford such an amazing experience. We look forward to making the 2016 First Night Bradford a quality event for everyone. As a volunteer driven organization, we are constantly looking for indi-viduals to join our committee. If you or someone you know is interested in joining any of the teams, please do not hesitate to contact us, as we are always looking for driven volunteers to better our event.

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

Guest Columnist

“Constitutional Convention”-by Bob Perry

Having encouraged political action through suggesting voters take back the power they have squandered over the years, following naturally is the sugges-tion a Constitutional Convention be held to rewrite the documents. A real lack of respect has been shown for the Constitution since it was written as it continues to this day being mis-in-terpreted and trampled upon. Simplicity is needed to show its face in any rewrite with a clear establishment of state rights vs. federal limitation on rights, as well as the limits on all three branches thaat they must adhere to. The power grabs by Congressional and Administrative branches has tainted free-doms of all kinds. Both houses are guilty being undemocratic in their creation, de-liberating and passing of legislation. To-day, quite clearly, rules are created on the fl y that are directly opposed to democratic ideals such as the consideration for amend-ments and deliberation on legislation pri-or to its being voted upon. The Supreme Court, as the interpreter of the Constitu-tion, requires up-to-date clear language so as to eliminate the politically motivated and tortured way they make their interpre-tations. A new and improved constitution could defi ne the Court’s responsibilities so as to make a broad set of considerations when making a decision. Such considerations

should make the legislative process a ma-jor consideration as to the legitimacy of any law under consideration. The Court may well fi nd itself with increased over-sight on the other branches of government with the authority to curb the overstep of bounds to be re-established. Over the years numerous individuals and groups have challenged the right for the federal government to levy and collect income taxes and a constitutional rewrite would solve this issue. Any rewrite must start with the original principles founded upon and structure and discipline must be honored. There is a hope that Christian principles of moral action and thought be of utmost importance and the laws to be created are laws of the citizenry of the country and not of any set of laws imbed-ded in any specifi c religion. There are dangers lurking with a con-vention with the pressures that come with elitist academics wanting to be the archi-tects of governmental direction and, if you would ask them, they would insist they know best. The same variety that is cur-rently leading this country in the wrong direction. The government of this coun-try has us headed in the wrong direction and there is a fair chance a Constitutional Convention can reshape the structures of government and still pay homage to the Preamble of the existing Constitution.

Photos for this edition were taken during the Brewfest held February 7th, at St. Bernard Elementary and Middle School gymnasium, and dur-ing a Sunday afternoon session at the Callahan Ice Rink, February 8th. We took the JRS shuttle bus from the Pecora Plaza area on West Washington Street, where we fi rst collected pho-tos of the driver and passengers, and on our arrival at the Brewfest location collected many more. Of special inter-est during the event was a presentation and demonstration of home-brewing by Cavallaro’s How Ya Brewing, and the presence of a full compliment of members in the No Name Trio per-forming on stage. On the following day we stopped at the Callahan Ice Rink were a birthday party was tak-ing place, both in the party room there, and on the ice. It is interesting that the birthday boy, 9-year-old Ronald “RJ” Packard, of Smethport came up with the idea of using the rink as a venue, even though he had never ice-skated. It seems that RJ, who attends the third grade at Smethport Elementary School, normally spends his free time as a Jun-ior Olympic Wrestler who wrestles for the Port Allegany school. Nevertheless, we are of the opinion he made the right choice for his party venue, a wrestling party might have been a little rough on his guests……..Kevin Burritt, owner of Burritt Appliance Center at 421 East Main Street and his dad Roger made it possible for us to replace the thermostat knob on our kitchen oven this last week. What a place they have! While they sell new and used washers, dryers and ovens, they are also a treas-ure trove for used parts for the same. We thought some of our more tinker-ing readers might like to know. In ad-dition, we discovered something else there. Kevin brought our attention to a “PureWash eco-friendly-laundry sys-tem” that uses various oxygen radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and ozone among other radicals to clean clothing in cold water and without soap. This relatively inexpensive gadget is a must for people who have sensitive skin……..Carol Orris of the Grant and Carol team from Orris Jewelers tells us that this month marks the 65th anniversary of the opening of Orris Jewelers by Grant’s mom and dad in 1950. They ran it for thirty years and then turned it over to Grant in 1980 who was joined by his wife Carol in 1984. Their store is located on Chamber Street in down-town Bradford where we can all soon take part in their celebration.

Bradford Journal PhotoWhile we’ve seen these guys before, posing for photos never gets old for the young and the bold. Left to right in the warm-up area of the Callahan Ice Rink, February 8th are, Max Greenberg 13, Mason Vetere 13, Stephen Tingley 14, and Jimmy Plow 12. They’re good friends and they come skating every day over the weekend.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESTips to Lower Your Taxes April 15 will be here before you know it. Have you done all you can to mini-mize your tax payments and maximize prudent fi nancial planning? If you’re not sure, there’s still time to make a few smart choices before you fi le this year’s tax re-turn. The Pennsylvania Institute of Certi-fi ed Public Accountants provides these tips.

Reconsider the Standard Deduction Many people automatically take the standard deduction on their return either because it simplifi es the task of fi ling or they’re uncertain about the deductions for which they may qualify. For the 2014 tax year, the standard deduction is $6,200 for single people and $12,400 for married cou-ples fi ling jointly. But did you know that you may actually be eligible for a much larger deduction if you itemize instead of taking the standard deduction? In fact, the U.S. Government Accountability Offi ce found that in 2002 as many as 2.2 mil-lion taxpayers likely overpaid their taxes by about $1 billion because they failed to itemize deductions. Common deductions include home mortgage interest, real es-tate taxes, state and local income or sales taxes, charitable donations, losses due to casualties or thefts, and unreimbursed medical or employee business expenses. Depending on which ones apply to you, they could add up to more than the stand-ard deduction, so it’s worth considering itemizing.

Get Organized Holding on to receipts and keeping your documents neatly fi led may seem like a hassle, but well-organized records can really pay off at tax time. For one thing, they can help you establish whether you qualify for some common deductions. In addition, a full view of your fi nancial pic-ture can help you and your CPA identify new opportunities to lower your tax bite or make other smart money management choices that can get you on track to meet your short- and long-term fi nancial goals.

Pump Up Your Retirement Plan If you’re a procrastinator, this might be the tax-saving strategy for you. If you qualify to contribute to a traditional indi-vidual retirement account (IRA), you can make a contribution right up until April 15 and still deduct it on the previous year’s return if you choose. For 2014 and 2015, the maximum total IRA contribution for traditional and Roth is $5,500 ($6,500 if you’re 50 or older). Remember that inter-est and dividends you earn on money in a traditional IRA grow tax free until you withdraw them, which is another great reason to enhance your nest egg. Note: your deductions for a traditional IRA may be affected by whether you or your spouse

is covered by an employer’s retirement plan. In addition, your income level may have an impact on the amount of your de-duction. Contact your CPA for more infor-mation.

Review Your Withholding Everyone loves a tax refund, but if you got a fat check from the IRS last year that may mean that too much is being withheld from your paycheck every week. Review how much you’re having withheld and lower the amount if necessary. Since that

will put more money in your pocket, con-sider dropping it directly into a retirement account or an emergency fund.

Your Local CPA Can Help This is a great time to reach out to your local CPA to discuss your tax situation and any other fi nancial concern. Make an ap-pointment with him or her today to get the advice you need to make smart fi nancial decisions this year. To fi nd a CPA by loca-tion or area of expertise visit:

Our guess is that they are just getting started at the Brewfest event, and that this is going to be a long evening.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDE3 Anti-Inflammation

Recipes To Help Restore Your Health

Nutrition Icon Offers Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Options

The link between chronic disease and infl ammation based on a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle has been made clear by now, as outlined in an article from the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion. The article explores how humankind uncovered the tools to overcome infec-tious disease with germ theory, posited in the 19th Century. More than a century later, as we’ve encountered the wrath of chronic disease – including heart disease, cancer, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, and many others – research has identifi ed a modern-day equivalent, this time caused by infl ammation. “The best medicine to ease the mas-sive suffering endured by so many in our population today is an active lifestyle and an anti-infl ammatory diet; food should be nourishing and pleasurable,” says nutri-tionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Cal-bom, MS. (“The Juice Lady”). Her latest book, “The Juice Lady’s Anti-Infl amma-tion Diet,” (www.juiceladycherie.com), outlines the causes of infl ammation and offers solutions with healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as ro-bust juicing recipes. “Whether you’re on a vegetarian, ve-gan, low-carb, no-carb, Mediterranean, Neanderthal or any other kind of diet, there are delicious recipes available to anyone who wants to up their anti-infl ammation efforts.” Calbom lists just three of her many recipes, with some ingredients that may already be found in your pantry, she says. • Breakfast: Spanish frittata and sim-ple salad with maple orange vinaigrette (serves 4-6). Frittata: 12 large organic eggs; ½ cup coconut milk; ½ tsp. sea salt, or more to taste; 2 tbsp. coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil; 1 small red onion, small chop; ½ cup sautéed mushrooms or your favorite vegetable; 1 cup spinach or arugula. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk the eggs and coconut milk with 2 pinches of salt. Set aside. Prepare pan with coconut oil and medium-high heat and sauté on-ions until translucent, about 3 min. Add mushroom or favorite vegetable and sauté until soft. Toss in spinach and fold into veggie mixture just until wilted. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside. Turn down the heat to low, adding a little more co-conut oil if needed. Using the same skil-let, add the eggs, shaking to distribute the mixture evenly. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 min. using a spatula to spread the eggs from the edges to the center until the edges are no longer runny. Arrange the vegetable mixture over the top evenly.

American Institute for Cancer Research Q: I’ve been seeing news that “sedentary behavior” is bad for your health. Is be-ing sedentary the same as not getting enough exercise, or is this something different? A: You might think of sedentary behavior and the amount of physical activity you get as two sides of the same coin – and both affect your health. Most studies on the health benefi ts of physical activity have traditionally looked at how often people spend at least 10 minutes doing moderate and vigorous physical activities, such as brisk walking, jogging, gardening, dancing, biking and other sports. Although any physical activity is better than none, the recommendation is to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate activity daily for cancer prevention, and accumulating 60 minutes a day seems to provide even more protection. Sedentary behavior refers to what you do the rest of the day. Even people who get 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity daily may spend large amounts of time sitting at work, at home and while traveling from one place to another. Emerging re-search links more time spent sitting to increased weight, waist size, fasting blood sugar, blood triglycerides and insulin levels. All of these are markers for greater risk of heart disease and create a metabolic environment that seems to pave the way for some types of cancer. Especially for people whose days involve a lot of sitting, including some standing or brief walking every hour or so throughout the day links to healthier waist size and less chronic infl ammation. Excess abdominal fat and chronic infl ammation are both linked to increased risk of several types of cancer, as well as heart disease and diabetes. So small amounts of movement – taking stairs rather than an elevator, walk-ing down the hall, standing to talk on the phone – may bring important benefi ts even if they don’t count toward “moderate” physical activity. We may really be looking at two separate aspects of lifestyle that are both important for health: spending less time sitting and accumulating 30 minutes or more of moderate activity each day.

Transfer to a 375-dgree oven and cook for 5 minutes until set and slightly browned. Remove from oven. Be very aware of the hot handle! To fi nish, slide partially cooked frittata onto a large plate; wearing oven mitts, place a plate over the pan and, holding the two together, invert them so the frittata drops onto the plate. Slide the frittata back into the pan so par-tially cooked side is up. Place back in oven to cook 3-4 min. more. “The simple salad with maple orange vinaigrette is something I dreamed up for a ‘breakfast for dinner’ themed night – a nice complement to the main dish,” she says. • Lunch: tropical quinoa salad with cashews with carrot fries (serves 4). Qui-noa: 1 cup dried quinoa, rinsed well; ½ red onion, fi nely chopped; 1 cup apple or car-rot, fi nely chopped; juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp. honey or agave; 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 1 large mango, chopped (not overly ripe); ¼ cup mint, fi nely chopped; 1 tsp. seal salt, to taste; freshly ground black pepper, to taste; ½-inch-piece ginger, fi ne-ly chopped; 1 avocado, chopped or thinly sliced; 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped; 3 cups Romaine lettuce (or greens of choice), roughly chopped. Cook the quinoa: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add the quinoa and simmer, covered 15-20 min. Set aside and let cool (spread out for best results). In a large bowl toss the chopped red onion and apple/carrot. Whisk together the lime juice, honey and olive oil. Add to the bowl. Add the cooked, cooled quinoa and mango to the bowl and toss well. Mix in mint, cilantro, ginger and salt and pep-per, to taste. Garnish with sliced avocado and cashews. Scoop mixture over greens and serve chilled or at room temperature. “Who doesn’t like French fries? – Carrot

fries are a healthy alternative!” Calbom says. • Dinner: grilled salmon and aspara-gus with stone fruit and lavender chutney (serves 4-6). Chutney: 2 lb. stone fruit, small dice; 1 large onion, fi nely chopped; zest of 1 lemon or lime; 2 tbsp. garlic, minced; ¼ tsp. chili fl akes (optional); 1/3 cup red wine vinegar; ¾ cup raw honey or agave; ¾ tsp. sea salt; 2 tbsp. fresh laven-der (or use basil or mint; use 1 tsp. dried lavender if you cannot fi nd it fresh).In a saucepan combine all prepared ingre-dients except the herbs. Bring to a boil. Continue cooking at a rolling boil, 15 min. Stir occasionally. Mix in fresh herbs and/or lavender at the end. “This chutney will get you excited for salmon all over again,” she says. “Of course, buy wild salmon, which is sig-nifi cantly healthier and environmentally friendly.” • Snack: Cherry Chocolate Shake (serves 1). 1 Tbsp. unsweetened, unpro-cessed cocoa powder; ½ cup frozen dark cherries, pitted; 1 cup coconut; almond or fl ax milk; ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract; sev-eral drops of liquid stevia (suggest Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme); ice cubes as desiredPlace all ingredients in a blender and pro-cess until smooth. Cherie Calbom holds a Master of Sci-ence degree in whole foods nutrition from Bastyr University. She is author of 26 books including Known as “The Juice Lady” for her work with juicing and health, her juice therapy and cleansing programs have been popular for more than a decade.

Ahot new dessert

trend is here —

cookies are getting

a makeover. As

identified in the

McCormick Flavor Forecast 2015,

favorite cookie flavors — like

snickerdoodles and gingersnaps —

are being reimagined in new

decadent desserts. From peanut

butter mousse tarts to chocolate

chip biscotti with a creamy dipping

sauce, these desserts redefine

“milk and cookies.”

“Here in the kitchens, we looked

at the distinctive flavors of popular

cookies for inspiration,” said Mary

Beth Harrington of the McCormick

Kitchens. “Cinnamon sugar is the

signature flavor in snickerdoodles,

so we reimagined that cinnamon

sweetness into a peanut butter

mousse and peanut crust, resulting

in a delicious tart.”

An ancient grain with roots that trace back as far as 8000 B.C., sorghum is seeing a resurgence as demand for non-GMO and gluten-free food grows.

Sorghum is an excellent substitute for those with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and can beused to make both leavened and unleavened breads, various fermented and unfermented beveragesand can be steamed, popped, flaked or consumed as a whole grain or syrup.

“Sorghum is light in color, has a pleasing texture and tastes similar to wheat, which makes itperfect for use in gluten-free baking,” said gluten-free expert and cookbook author Carol Fenster.

Sorghum also provides iron, calcium, potassium, as well as polycosinol, which research has shown to lower serum cholesterol and may improve heart health.

Contrary to the perception that some grains lead to a spike in blood sugar, research has indicatedthat sorghum offers slow digestibility and a lower glycemic index. Foods with a lower glycemicindex are believed to increase satiety, which means people feel fuller longer, aiding with weightmanagement.

White, food grade sorghum can be milled directly into whole grain flour to produce foods such ascookies, cakes, breads, pizza dough, pastas, cereals and more. Whole grain sorghum is also a healthyaddition to salads. Sorghum’s natural attributes make it possible to enjoy deliciously healthful andgluten-free versions of some of America’s favorite foods, thanks to these recipes.

For more recipes and tips for cooking with sorghum, visit www.HealthySorghum.com.

On the left is Connor Tingley 17, and on the right is Ashly Colosimo 18. They are skate guards, rent the ice skates, and most importantly in our opinion, the vendors for the popcorn.

Find tax creditsThen, let Free File do the hard work for you. FreeFile software can guide you through finding taxbreaks, and help you receive a more accurate refund.Some people may not even be aware that theyqualify for a tax credit.

For example, the IRS estimates that one out ofevery five taxpayers eligible for the Earned IncomeTax Credit, a refundable credit for taxpayers withmoderate income, fail to claim it.

If you or anyone on your return purchased healthcare coverage from the Health Insurance Marketplace,you may qualify for the premium tax credit. If youchose to have advance payments of the premium taxcredit sent to your insurance provider in 2014, youmust file a tax return. You must reconcile, or com -pare, the advance credit payments with the actualpremium tax credit you are allowed to claim on your return. Learn more at IRS.gov/aca.

Get your refund fasterOnce you’ve completed your return, you can alsoprint a copy and e-file your federal taxes, absolutelyfree. With electronic filing, you will receive a confir -mation within minutes that the IRS has acceptedyour return. Or, if it’s not accepted, you can easilyfind out why. E-file helps make your tax return evenmore accurate, which means a quicker refund. To get your refund even faster, combine e-file withdirect deposit.

The Free File software — designed to provide afast, safe and free filing option — is available online24/7, giving you the freedom to choose when andhow you do your taxes.

FAMILY FEATURES

You don’t need to be an expert on taxes or the new health care law to get it right. TheInternal Revenue Service, in partnership with industry-leading companies, is offering

free tax software that will do the hard work for you. It’s called Free File, and it’s available only atIRS.gov/freefile. Learn more at freefile.irs.gov.

If you earned $60,000 or less — and 70 percent of us do — you are eligible for Free File’s brand-namesoftware. If you made more than $60,000, you stillhave a free option in Free File Fillable Forms. This isthe electronic version of IRS paper forms. It’s prettybasic, so this program is best for people comfortabledoing their own taxes.

Free File’s software programs will help you find thetax benefits you are due, help pick the right tax forms,and do the math for you. This year, Free File also helpsyou complete information on your return that is relatedto the Affordable Care Act. When it comes to the healthcare law, almost everyone will need to do somethingnew when filing a tax return this year. For each monthin 2014, you and everyone on your return will need todo one of the following:

� Report healthcare coverage� Claim an exemption from coverage� Make a shared responsibility payment with your

tax return

Most people will simply have to check a box toindicate they maintained health care coverage for theentire year.

Free File software will ask all the right questions;you supply the answers. More than 43 million peoplehave used Free File since it started in 2003. They havesaved $1.3 billion in tax preparation fees — simply bydoing it themselves. Getting started is easy:

Health Care LawEveryone needs tounderstand how thehealth care law affects tax returns. You will needto complete one of thefollowing steps, andusing Free File, brand-name software makes iteasier for you.

Reporting healthcare coverage

If you and everyone onyour tax return had healthcare coverage for all of2014, simply check the“full year coverage” boxwhen completing yourreturn in the Free Filesoftware. For mostpeople, that’s it!

Claiming a CoverageExemption

If you did not have healthcare coverage for all orpart of 2014, you mayqualify for a coverageexemption. Free File willhelp you complete Form8965 and file it with yourtax return.

Making a sharedresponsibilitypayment

If you or your dependentshad neither health carecoverage nor an exemp -tion, you may need tomake a payment withyour tax return. Free Filewill help you calculateyour payment and reportit on your tax return.

About the PremiumTax Credit

If you or anyone on your return purchasedinsurance coverage fromthe Marketplace, you may be eligible for thepremium tax credit. If you chose to haveadvance payments of thepremium tax credit sentto your insurer in 2014,you must reconcile orcompare the advancecredit payments with theactual premium tax credityou are allowed to claimon your return.

Gather your tax-relateddocumentsCollect the tax materials needed to do your taxes.Here’s what you’ll need:

� A copy of last year’s tax return� Valid Social Security numbers for yourself,

spouse and children� All income statements, i.e. W-2 forms, from all

employers� Interest and dividend statements, i.e. 1099 forms� Form 1099-G showing any state refunds� Unemployment compensation amount� Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace

Statement, if you purchased coverage from aHealth Insurance Marketplace

� Records of your own and your family members’health care insurance coverage, includingemployer provided, government, Marketplace orprivate coverage

Choose a brand-name software productOnce you’ve gathered your materials, go toIRS.gov/freefile to review the 14 company offerings.Each company sets its own criteria, usually based onage, income or state residency. You can either use a“help me” tool that will match software with yoursituation or you can review each of the companyofferings. Most companies also offer state returns,some for free.

Again, if your income was higher and you arecomfortable preparing your own taxes, Free FileFillable Forms may be right for you.
