“Democracy’s Suicide II ” -by Bob Perry Last week’s article merely scratched the surface identifying the activities that are systematically propelling our democracy onto the sword thus committing suicide. Increasingly, Congress has been passing laws which are permitting bureaucrats to create regulations that are becoming re-strictive for the economic engine of this great country to function effectively and expand. While the laws have certain lim-its as to the regulations, there are regula-tions being made that exceed those limits. Whether it is the President creating law by FIAT or bureaucrats making excessive regulations, there appears to be no remedy Congress is willing to pursue to rectify the actions thus allowing the forward motion while the fi gurative feet are stuck in the mud. Will it take action(s) by ordinary citizens to correct the course we are on? Some of-fi ce holders may necessarily be forcibly removed from offi ce. Elections do have consequences but as we all know, the pro-cess of making sausage in Washington has not changed. Once one becomes a mem-ber of Congress one fi nds their purpose is to be a vote for the party or special interest that propelled them into offi ce. The elected that stay in offi ce for dec-ades are protected by the party or interest so as to gain seniority to head departments and hopefully to head the House or the Senate. Department heads control con-tents of legislation formed in their control and stifl es legislative content. The Speak-er of the House and the Senate Majority

Leader have power that overrides the leg-islation that is brought forward which is to me very undemocratic since all legislation deserves a vote by the members to be de-bated. We are a Democratic Republic but it is varying from the originators goal of repre-sentative government. More and more we are seeing referendums are being used to make law by states pushing aside the es-tablished representative government. Any state law that violates a federal law must be struck down by the Justice Department until or unless Congress invalidates the law. When the Justice Department does not enforce the laws on the books It NOT performing its constitutional function. This does not excuse the fact that Con-gress has passed and the President having signed into law legislation that is by the Constitution a states right issue. Getting people to vote is done most effectively by getting them emotionally stirred up and the people positively mo-tivated are more likely to vote for the is-sue. Notably we are in a era that is stress-ing ‘feelings’ and much that is happening on legislation in the state legislatures, in Congress and on referendums is based on such. For example opening statements such as, “it is only right to…” etc., etc. We are defi nitely in the process of prov-ing John Adams right by allowing our De-mocracy to commit suicide. Remember, Tyranny follows if this is allowed to hap-pen. The signs are increasing.

Following a stop at the School Street Elementary School, where we photo-graphed members of Mrs. Bechelli’s third grade classroom, we headed out to the Cow Palace in Limestone, NY. There we photographed custom-ers, restaurant patrons, and even the cooks in the kitchen. The owner, Kathy Henry suggested that our readers visit them on facebook, or better yet, stop out to see her operation, which is not only a restaurant, but also a store, and an ice cream parlor. Following our visit there, we stopped at Tasta Pizza Ex-press in Limestone, proper, where the manager, Jessica Morton, was eager to tell us that they sell not only all the items on the menu at their Tasta Pizza location in Bradford, but also soup; chicken and biscuits on Tuesday and Wednesday; and deals on pizza and wings every day. And fi nally, to round out the photos for the week we stopped at Parts-R-Us behind the old school building in Limestone, where we pho-tographed the boss, John Smith, among others, working their day away- some in the offi ce, and some in the shop area. A look through our photo gallery asso-ciated with this week’s issue will lead our readers to other interesting pho-tos……..We spent time at the YMCA Western District Swim Meet held in Youngstown, OH over the last week-end, and enjoyed watching the com-petitive process in which swimmers were selected to represent the western district at the State YMCA event to be held, March 21st-23rd, at Penn State University. …….. PA 4-H Week runs from March 16th through the 22nd. The sponsors for the announcement found in this edition are: New Key-stone; Hedlund Glass and Auto Seat Cover Company; Tasta Pizza; and Worth W. Smith, Co. Another impor-tant event taking place on Monday, March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day. The sponsors for the announcement of this special day are: New Keystone; Bot-torf Embroidery; and How Ya Brew-ing (Beer & Wine Making Supplies For Your Home)…….The Cross’ Vapetas-tic Vapors store, located next to Main Street Outlet, is a new edition to our Main Street businesses. The owner, Anthony Cross, tells us that his prod-uct is a new and healthier alternative to smoking, and that they have a “taste bar” for sampling the fl avors that are available with or without nicotine. For those who can’t stop smoking, he tells us, this is the alternative that doesn’t include the nasty extras, put into ciga-rettes by the cigarette industry.

BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESMoney-Saving Tips For Seniors

-by Jason Alderman We all love a good bargain, no matter what our age. But if you’re a senior citi-zen on a fi xed income, fi nding discounted goods and services can mean the differ-ence between making ends meet and go-ing without. The good news is that tons of senior discounts are available – often for peo-ple as young as 50. One caveat right up front: Although many senior discounts are substantial, you sometimes can fi nd better bargains – especially on travel-related ex-penses like airfare, hotels and rental cars. So always do your research fi rst before re-questing the senior rate. Here’s a roundup of some of the best senior discounts I’ve found: An AARP membership costs only $16 a year for anyone over age 50, including free membership for spouses or partners (www.aarp.org). AARP’s discounts web-site features discounts on dozens of prod-ucts and services including rental cars, ho-tels, restaurants, clothing and department store chains. AARP also offers an inex-pensive driver safety course for drivers over 50 (members and nonmembers alike) that can lower auto insurance premiums by up to 10 percent or more. Popular AARP discounts include: • 20 percent discount on installation or upgrades to ADT home security sys-tems. • 45 percent off membership to An-gie’s List. • 20 percent off purchases from 1-800-FLOWERS.com. • Up to 25 percent off car rentals from Avis and Budget. • Up to 20 percent discount at many hotel chains including Hyatt, Hilton, Wyndham, Best Western, Days Inn and Ramada, among others. • 10 to 20 percent off at many res-taurant chains, including Claim Jumper, Denny’s and Outback Steakhouse. • 15 percent off many Geek Squad services from Best Buy. • A free 45-minute consultation with an Allstate Legal Services Network attor-ney, as well as 20 percent off member at-torneys’ fees. A quick Google search will uncover numerous other senior discount resources. One popular site is SeniorDiscounts.com, an online directory of more than 220,000 U.S. business locations that offer discounts to people over 50. Registration is free, al-though they also offer a $12.95/year pre-mium that offers members-only discounts and other perks. Other good sites include Brad’s Deals, Sciddy.com and Savvy Sen-ior. Other commonly available senior dis-counts include:

• A 15 percent discount on the lowest available rail fare on most Amtrak trains for travelers over age 62. • Greyhound offers a 5 percent dis-count on unrestricted fares (over 62). • Southwest Airlines offers senior fares (over 65). Although not necessarily their lowest available rates, Southwest’s senior fares are fully refundable. • The U.S. Geologic Survey senior pass (over 62) provides free lifetime ac-cess to more than 2,000 government-man-aged recreational sites (including national parks), as well as discounts on camping and other amenities. Senior passes cost $10 in person or $20 by mail (http://store.usgs.gov/pass/senior.html). • Verizon Wireless offers discounted mobile phone service for subscribers over 65. • Both Walgreens and Rite Aid offer

monthly senior discount days for members of their rewards programs when most non-prescription items are 15 to 20 percent off. Ask your neighborhood pharmacy if they offer similar programs. In addition, many restaurants, depart-ment stores, movie theaters, museums, theme parks, banks, credit card issuers, utilities (including gas and electric, water, garbage, telephone and cable) and other businesses offer special discounts or pro-motions for seniors. Always ask before your purchase is rung up. Bottom line: Abundant resources are available to help seniors save money on purchases large and small. You just have to do a little research – and ask whether senior discounts are available. Remem-ber, 10 percent here and 20 percent there can really add up.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEHow Physical

Therapy Can Help Your Health And Wealth

(NAPSI)—No matter where you hurt—neck, shoulder, back, knee—physical therapy may improve your quality of life and save you time, trou-ble and money. With physical therapy, you’ll be bet-ter able to move freely without discom-fort, feel renewed and maybe avoid in-jury altogether. It may also help you avoid pain-ful, invasive and expensive surgery. Research shows that physical therapy, combined with comprehensive medical management, can be just as effective as surgery when it comes to relieving such conditions as osteoarthritis of the knee. What’s more, falls among the el-derly are prevalent, dangerous, and can diminish their ability to lead an active and independent life. According to the National Council on Aging, about one in three people over 65 will fall at least once this year, perhaps with disastrous consequences. A physical therapist can design an individualized program of exercises and activities with an empha-sis on strength, fl exibility and proper gait. Despite all the advantages of physi-cal therapy, some people are not get-ting all they should and that their doc-tors have prescribed because of high co-payments. These have caused many patients to face a sad dilemma: health care vs. making ends meet. When co-payment plans were fi rst introduced, it was thought they’d lower medical costs by decreasing unneces-sary care. Empirical evidence, how-ever, shows that high co-payments can actually increase health care costs.

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

American Institute for Cancer Research Q. Wine glasses seem to be getting so much larger. Is one glass still consid-ered one serving of wine? A: For many years, a standard all-purpose wine glass has been about eight ounces. That fi ts the standard fi ve-ounce serving of wine well because wine glasses are not supposed be poured full. To appreciate a wine’s fl avor more fully, wine connoisseurs fi ll a glass no more than one-third to one-half full, both to give air space to hold the aroma (bouquet) of the wine and to provide enough room to swirl wine in the glass without spilling it. However, 12- to 16-ounce wine glasses have now become standard at many restaurants, hotels and even private homes, and some are even larger. If people fi ll these glasses beyond that one-third to one-half mark, one glass of wine can provide the alcohol content equal to two or more standard servings of alcohol. The best solution is to practice measuring water into wine glasses at home, to train your eye to recognize different portions. Then, regardless of how big your glass is, you will know when you’ve reached the recommended maximum of wine that defi nes moderation, which is no more than one fi ve-ounce serving a day for women, two for men.

According to research published in The New England Journal of Medicine, high co-payments led to patients skip-ping ambulatory care. This increased health care costs because the patients then needed more acute care, such as at a hospital, later on. The study conclud-ed that “raising cost sharing for ambu-latory care may have adverse health consequences and may increase total spending on health care.” “When you have patients, who are in pain and recovering from injuries, avoiding medically necessary care be-cause they can’t afford the high co-pay-

ments, you know there is a problem,” said Matthew R. Hyland, PT, Ph.D., MPA, CSCS, President of the New York Physical Therapy Association. High co-payments, it appears, add to health care expense and make it hard for patients to get the treatment they need to stay healthy. Many Americans are going to www.house.gov and www.senate.gov to ask their legislators what can be done.

PA 4-H WeekPA 4-H WeekMarch 16 - 22, 2014March 16 - 22, 2014

What’s It All About?

HISTORY OF 4-HHow It All Began: An American innovation, the 4-H youth develop-ment program of the Cooperative Extension origi-nated at the turn of the century because of a vital need to improve life in rural areas. Introducing im-proved methods of farming and homemaking, 4-H taught youth to “learn by doing.” The yearly program in one of those early clubs consisted of growing corn, planting a garden, testing soil, club meetings, and visits to club members’ plots and exhibits. There was a close affi liation between the school and the home in this early 4-H program--adults in the family were often persuaded to adopt new practices because of the successes experienced by the 4-H youth. The fi rst record of any known 4-H type activity was in 1898. Liberty Hyde Bailey of Cornell Univer-sity inaugurated a system of junior naturalist leafl ets in rural schools and assisted in the organization of nature study clubs. The year 1907 marked the beginning of 4-H work under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture. In 1914 the Smith-Lever Act established Coopera-tive Extension, an organizational entity of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the land-grant college system. The Cooperative Extension Service was to conduct educational programs of an “informal, non-resident, problem-oriented nature.” Cooperative Ex-tension provided the professional staff and support needed to direct the growth of the early 4-H pro-gram.The Early Years: In 1915 there were 4-H clubs in 47 states. During World War I, the energies of 4-H members were de-voted to raising food. Projects were raising corn and canning tomatoes. Following a period of readjustment after World War I, 4-H club work showed a contin-ual growth. Some states developed 4-H programs in close relationship to local school districts. Others established clubs as community programs separate from schools. The term 4-H was fi rst used in a federal publica-tion written in 1918 by Gertrude Warren, one of the pioneers of 4-H. In the early 1920’s a group at a conference in Washington, D.C., discussed the need to give boys’ and girls’ club work a distinctive name that could be used nationally. Several people, including Miss Warren, favored 4-H as the name for the organi-zation. In 1924, Boys’ and Girls’ Club work became known as 4-H. The pledge was adopted in 1927. As the 4-H program continued to grow through the 1920’s and 1930’s more emphasis was placed on the development of the individual rather than the product produced. The focus of the program was the development of skills in farming and homemaking.

A major change occurred during World War II when much effort was directed toward victory gar-dens, civilian defense, salvage programs, and bond campaigns as well as food preservation. The victory garden program also brought 4-H to urban people.Expansion to New Audiences and New Places: The 1950’s and 1960’s saw increasing numbers of non-farm youth enrolling in the program. In 1948, 4-H went international with the establishment of the International Four-H Youth Exchange (IFYE, fi rst called the International Farm Youth Exchange.) Today Cooperative Extension and its 4-H pro-grams serve people in towns, cities, and rural areas with information on agriculture, family living, com-munity development, and related subjects. 4-H: An American Idea 1900-1980 is a documented history of 4-H written by Thomas Wessel and Mari-lyn Wessel. Copies may be ordered through the National 4-H Council, 7100 Connecticut Avenue, Chevy Chase, MDú20815-4999. 4-H Around the World: The growth of 4-H around the world has been impressive. 4-H type clubs now exist in at least 80 countries; they have a total membership of over four million young people. It is virtually impossible to travel to any corner of the globe and not en-counter the familiar clover symbol. Famous 4-H Alumni: Nearly 50 million Americans from all walks of life have been 4-H members. A few of the more famous 4-H alumni are Roy Rogers, John Denver, Dolly Par-ton, Alan Shepard, Don Meredith, Tom Wopat, Char-ley Pride, Orville Redenbacher and Reba McIntyre.

On St. Patrick’s Day Everybody’s Irish!Save your green here!

On St. Patrick’s Day—Thursday, March 17—millions of people will don green and celebrate the Irish with parades, good cheer, and perhaps a pint of beer. The modern celebration of St. Patrick’s Day really has almost nothing to do with the real man. For starters, the real St. Patrick wasn’t even Irish. He was born in Britain around A.D. 390 to an aristocratic Christian family with a townhouse, a coun-try villa, and plenty of slaves. According to St. Patrick’s Day lore, Pat-rick used the three leaves of a shamrock to explain the Christian holy trinity: the Fa-ther, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The custom of wearing a shamrock dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries. A St. Patrick myth is the claim that he banished snakes from Ireland. It’s true no snakes exist on the island today, —but they never did. Ireland, after all, is surrounded by icy ocean waters—much too cold to al-low snakes to migrate from Britain or any-where else.

Until the 1970s, St. Patrick’s Day in Ire-land was a minor religious holiday. A priest would acknowledge the feast day, and fam-ilies would celebrate with a big meal, but that was about it. The modern St. Patrick’s Day was basi-cally invented in America by Irish-Ameri-cans. Eighteenth-century Irish soldiers fight-ing with the British in the U.S. Revolution-ary War held the first St. Patrick’s Day pa-rades. Some soldiers, for example, marched through New York City in 1762 to reconnect with their Irish roots. Sometime in the 19th century, as St. Pat-rick’s Day parades were flourishing, wear-ing the color green became a show of com-mitment to Ireland On any given day 5.5 million pints of Guinness, the famous Irish stout brand, are consumed around the world. But on St. Patrick’s Day, that number more than dou-bles to 13 million pints

Deep Freeze Can’t Stop Die-Hard Grillers From Cooking In The Great Outdoors (NAPSI)—Even when the temperatures dip, grill lovers don’t want to-or have to-give up the smoky, delicious fl avors of grilled food. In fact, according to the 25th annual Weber GrillWatch Survey, 51 percent of grill owners fi re up their grills year-round and more than a third of them report grill-ing in below-freezing temperatures. If you’re among them—or would like to be—here’s an essential list of handy tips: Prepare 1. In addition to shoveling a path to your grill, remember to brush all the snow off, since snow on the grill lid will ultimately lower the temperature inside it—resulting in longer cooking times. 2. Just because it’s cold outside, that doesn’t mean you should ever grill in an enclosed space that can trap deadly carbon monoxide, such as inside a garage or un-der an overhang. 3. Plan on adding fi ve to 10 minutes to the normal time it takes to preheat your grill. 4. For charcoal grills, it may be neces-sary to add charcoal more often to main-tain a consistent temperature when it’s cold or windy. When adding charcoal, lift the grill lid slowly and to the side to pre-vent ashes from blowing up on the food. 5. Position gas grills so the wind is per-pendicular to the gas fl ow and not blowing the fl ame down the burner tubes. Accessorize • Remember: Snow gloves are not bar-becue gloves. Make sure you have on heat-resistant gloves when operating your grill. • Use a timer to monitor your food and resist the urge to lift the lid to check the food. Although this is a great tip anytime of year, in cold weather, opening the lid extends cooking time as the grill loses heat quickly in cold weather. Get Grilling • Large pieces of meat—such as tur-keys—which are cooked over indirect heat, work well in cold weather as they

require less attention. Learn More: Try the Pizza with Pro-sciutto, Arugula and Mozzarella from We-

Saving Cars And Cash (NAPSI)—The average car on the road today is 11 years old, automakers report. If yours is among them, here’s good news: You can pocket serious sav-ings on repairs with high-quality used parts. Here’s how it works: Go online to www.pullapart.com to fi nd the price of the part you need and see whether the vehicle’s in stock at the nearest loca-tion. If it’s not, you can see which other vehicles have the same part and wheth-er they’re in stock. At the Pull-A-Part superstore, you’ll see vehicles on stands, arranged in rows. The staff or the store computer can tell you where to fi nd the vehicle you want, and you pull the part your-self. The supply turns over daily, so if you can’t fi nd the vehicle you need to-day, you can sign up to be notifi ed when it’s available. As a bonus, you can be green while saving some green. When you buy a

used car part, you’re keeping it in cir-culation instead of sending something perfectly useful to a landfi ll. Learn More:Further information is at www.pullapart.com

Transporting Your TreasuresChoosing a moving truck foryour DIY move is one of thebiggest decisions you’ll make.When weighing your options,bear these tips in mind:

� Look for a reputable companywith a strong track record ofcustomer satisfaction, flexiblereservation and cancellationpolicies, and emergency-friendly services such as 24-hour roadside assistance.

� Choose the right size of truck to accommodate yourpossessions. Too small, anditems may be shoved in tootightly; too big leaves roomfor items to shift duringtransport. Either way canresult in preventable damage.

� Determine what truck featuresyou’ll need: flat floor, loadingramp/lift, towing equipment orother amenities. Don’t forgetcruise control, climate controland seating options to ensure acomfortable ride.

Major Appliances

Check with the dealer for any special movinginstructions. Remove loose fittings and acces -sories, and pack them separately. Tie down,tape or wedge all movable parts and doors,and pad the exterior well.

Books

Use small boxes so they won’t be too heavy.To protect the spines, pack books flat, alter -nating bindings. Fill empty spaces withwadded paper and reinforce the box bottomswith extra tape.

Bureaus and Dressers

Fill drawers with small breakable items, andcushion them with loose clothes. Securedrawers with a pad or blanket (tape canremove the finish) and tie with rope. Do notoverload drawers with heavy items.

Dishes and Glasses

Individually wrap each piece in plastic beforeprotective newspaper to minimize dishwash -ing later. Place saucers, plates and platters onedge — not stacked flat. Place cups and bowlsinside each other; wrapping three to four in abundle. Fill empty box space with wadded-upnewspaper.

Lamps

Disassemble and pack small bases in dresserdrawers surrounded by loose clothing. Packlarge bases in boxes stuffed with waddedpaper. Box shades individually in boxes withplenty of tissue paper; avoid newspaper — it will smudge. Always pack light bulbsseparately.

Mirrors, Paintings and Prints

Wrap small items in paper and pack in boxes.For larger glass-faced frames and mirrors, usebubble packing and corrugated cardboard tocreate a case and tape well to secure. Mark“glass” or “fragile” on the box, and alwaysload and store on end.

Paint and Flammables

Don’t move paint and flammables, such asalcohol, solvents, lighter fluid, ammunitionand greasy mops or rags. Dispose of themproperly instead.

Radios, TVs and Computers

Box upright and make sure items are wellpadded on all sides, with extra layers on TVand monitor screens. Surround console-sizeequipment with furniture pads; move and loadupright.

Tools and Gardening Equipment

Drain hoses, coil and pack in boxes. Fillremaining space with lawn sprinklers, smallgarden hand tools and so forth. Tie rakes,shovels and other long-handled tools togetherwith rope or tape.

FAMILY FEATURES

Whether you’ve bought a new house or are renting an apartment, you know that finding the perfect place to call home is

just the beginning. Before you can settle in and begin enjoying your new surroundings, you have to actually get all of

your stuff packed and moved.

QUICK TIP: Handling Your ValuablesDuring any move, you need to takespecial care to protect your valuables.Set aside jewelry, important papersand safe deposit box contents in asmall container that you can keep withyou throughout the move. Among theless obvious but important items youmay want to include:

� Vehicle registration and title

� Children’s school records

� Insurance policies

� Bank statements and credit records

� Medical and dental records

� Irreplaceable photographs

� Tax return records

In today’s tightened economy, more and more people areopting for DIY moves. Not only can personally overseeingyour move save money, it can give you a sense of securityfrom having a hands-on role in managing how all yourpossessions are handled.

“Do-it-yourselfers are becoming the norm for residentialmoves, and with the right planning, managing a moveyourself can really pay off,” said Don Mikes, Senior VicePresident of Rental for Penske Truck Leasing.

Selecting the right truck is a critical first step. A clean, safefleet of trucks to choose from is just the beginning. Other serv -ices such as towing equipment, storage space and even movinglabor may help make your moving day run a little smoother.

PA 4-H WeekPA 4-H WeekMarch 16 - 22, 2014March 16 - 22, 2014

What’s It All About?

HISTORY OF 4-HHow It All Began: An American innovation, the 4-H youth develop-ment program of the Cooperative Extension origi-nated at the turn of the century because of a vital need to improve life in rural areas. Introducing im-proved methods of farming and homemaking, 4-H taught youth to “learn by doing.” The yearly program in one of those early clubs consisted of growing corn, planting a garden, testing soil, club meetings, and visits to club members’ plots and exhibits. There was a close affi liation between the school and the home in this early 4-H program--adults in the family were often persuaded to adopt new practices because of the successes experienced by the 4-H youth. The fi rst record of any known 4-H type activity was in 1898. Liberty Hyde Bailey of Cornell Univer-sity inaugurated a system of junior naturalist leafl ets in rural schools and assisted in the organization of nature study clubs. The year 1907 marked the beginning of 4-H work under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture. In 1914 the Smith-Lever Act established Coopera-tive Extension, an organizational entity of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the land-grant college system. The Cooperative Extension Service was to conduct educational programs of an “informal, non-resident, problem-oriented nature.” Cooperative Ex-tension provided the professional staff and support needed to direct the growth of the early 4-H pro-gram.The Early Years: In 1915 there were 4-H clubs in 47 states. During World War I, the energies of 4-H members were de-voted to raising food. Projects were raising corn and canning tomatoes. Following a period of readjustment after World War I, 4-H club work showed a contin-ual growth. Some states developed 4-H programs in close relationship to local school districts. Others established clubs as community programs separate from schools. The term 4-H was fi rst used in a federal publica-tion written in 1918 by Gertrude Warren, one of the pioneers of 4-H. In the early 1920’s a group at a conference in Washington, D.C., discussed the need to give boys’ and girls’ club work a distinctive name that could be used nationally. Several people, including Miss Warren, favored 4-H as the name for the organi-zation. In 1924, Boys’ and Girls’ Club work became known as 4-H. The pledge was adopted in 1927. As the 4-H program continued to grow through the 1920’s and 1930’s more emphasis was placed on the development of the individual rather than the product produced. The focus of the program was the development of skills in farming and homemaking.

A major change occurred during World War II when much effort was directed toward victory gar-dens, civilian defense, salvage programs, and bond campaigns as well as food preservation. The victory garden program also brought 4-H to urban people.Expansion to New Audiences and New Places: The 1950’s and 1960’s saw increasing numbers of non-farm youth enrolling in the program. In 1948, 4-H went international with the establishment of the International Four-H Youth Exchange (IFYE, fi rst called the International Farm Youth Exchange.) Today Cooperative Extension and its 4-H pro-grams serve people in towns, cities, and rural areas with information on agriculture, family living, com-munity development, and related subjects. 4-H: An American Idea 1900-1980 is a documented history of 4-H written by Thomas Wessel and Mari-lyn Wessel. Copies may be ordered through the National 4-H Council, 7100 Connecticut Avenue, Chevy Chase, MDú20815-4999. 4-H Around the World: The growth of 4-H around the world has been impressive. 4-H type clubs now exist in at least 80 countries; they have a total membership of over four million young people. It is virtually impossible to travel to any corner of the globe and not en-counter the familiar clover symbol. Famous 4-H Alumni: Nearly 50 million Americans from all walks of life have been 4-H members. A few of the more famous 4-H alumni are Roy Rogers, John Denver, Dolly Par-ton, Alan Shepard, Don Meredith, Tom Wopat, Char-ley Pride, Orville Redenbacher and Reba McIntyre.

Learn To Swim, Save Your Life

(NAPSI)—You can help to reduce the number of adult drownings in your com-munity this summer by learning to swim and encouraging others to join you. That’s the word from the experts at the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation. It has launched a nationwide campaign to reduce the number of adult drownings, declaring the month of April “Adult Learn-to-Swim Month.” So far the governors of Nebras-ka, Indiana and Washington have issued declarations in support. Alarmingly, 37 percent of American adults cannot swim the length of a 25-yard pool, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This puts them at risk for becom-ing one of the 10 people who drown every day in the U.S. “If we can convince water-shy adults to learn to swim in April, we hope to save lives when people gather at pools and beaches for summer recreation,” says Rob Butcher, executive director of U.S. Mas-ters Swimming. He adds that once adults learn the life-saving skill of swimming, 1,500 programs are available nationwide to encourage adults to keep swimming and enjoy the lifetime health, fi tness and social benefi ts of swimming.

Throwing A ‘60s Dessert Party… Disney Style (NAPSI)—A party doesn’t have to deplete your monthly budget as long as you realize the purpose of entertaining is to have fun with friends. A dessert party is the perfect answer. Everyone loves dessert and, with only one course, the shopping is less expensive and you can often prepare the food beforehand. But what about the theme for the party? That leads us to an idea based on the Disney fi lm “Saving Mr. Banks,” star-ring Tom Hanks and Emma Thomp-son—a ‘60s Dessert Party! A little background. Walt Disney’s “Mary Poppins,” one of the world’s most beloved and enduring family fi lms ever, was released in the mid-1960s, the setting for “Saving Mr. Banks,” which is now on Digital HD, Blu-ray and DVD. The fi lm tells the little-known story of how Walt (Hanks) convinced author Pamela “P. L.” Tra-vers (Thompson) to agree to a movie based on her best-selling book series. In many meetings, the stubborn Travers insists Disney and his team stick to the exact details of her novels. Eventually, Walt makes her understand that despite taking some liberties, using imagina-tion and creativity does achieve what Travers really wanted to say. Creativity, of course, went into dupli-cating the early to mid-‘60s style and look of “Saving Mr. Banks,” a key com-ponent of which was food. TV and fi lm food stylist Chris Oliver (“About Last Night,” “The Master”; TV’s “Parent-

hood,” “Masters of Sex,” “Boardwalk Empire”) was brought in to handle the design. Ms. Oliver’s primary focus was the writers’ room scenes where Walt had plentiful dessert fare wheeled in for breaks. Some of the most popular des-serts from the ‘60s were featured. “The food was meant to refl ect a time line for Mrs. Travers, who, at fi rst, was entire-ly negative about everything Disney. When she fi rst arrives in the room, we put out tons of premade desserts loaded with preservatives—Sno Balls, Twink-ies, etc. (I was particularly proud of the red/green/orange Mickey Jell-O mold.) As the fi lm progresses and Travers sof-tens, we brought in more homemade items with pure ingredients.” Oliver sees the movie as the perfect in-spiration for a retro-themed ladies’ des-sert party. To throw a classic ‘60s party, she recommends starting with “a pastel color scheme, Pyrex serving dishes, fun Jell-O molds, cheese and fruit platters, and cakes with lots of frosting. Popular

desserts of the ‘60s are coconut or but-ter cakes, baked Alaska, souffl és, berry pies and pineapple upside-down cake.” One of Chris Oliver’s favorite dishes inspired by the ‘60s is cherry pie, but her special recipe is a timeless classic with ingredients that haven’t changed for more than a century. For Chris’ Cherry Pie and other favorite ‘60s reci-pes, visit www.facebook.com/Saving-MrBanks. To get more into the spirit of the era as you watch the fi lm together, put on a pot of tea and provide a few side snack dishes like deviled eggs or Walt Disney’s personal favorite, chili: (http://blogs.disney.com/insider/reci-pes/2013/02/04/walts-own-chili/).

An Electrical Safety Guide For The Outside (NAPSI)—Warmer weather means more time spent outside for both children and adults. Whether your outdoor activity includes improvement projects around the home or fun and games in the backyard, you need to be aware of some electrical hazards that may occur. To help, the Electrical Safety Founda-tion International (ESFI) would like to share these tips. • It’s common knowledge that water and electricity don’t mix, but spring showers may increase your risk of electrical shock due to sudden rain or standing water. Do not use an electrical tool that is wet or close to water. • To further reduce your risk, install ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in your outdoor outlets and in the garage to help prevent electrocutions and electri-cal shock injuries. You can also purchase portable outdoor GFCIs for temporary use. • Next, check the product label or man-ual and use only electrical products, such as extension cords, that were intended for outdoor use. Also, be sure to use only equipment that displays a mark indicating

that it has undergone testing by an inde-pendent laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Intertek (ETL) or Ca-nadian Standards Association (CSA). • Inspect your tools’ cords and plugs for damage. Any damaged products should not be used and instead should be taken to an authorized repair center or thrown away. As you work, remember to always hold power tools by the insulated gripping surface to avoid electrical shock. Lastly, if your work requires a generator, make sure your generator is properly grounded and well ventilated.

Also, make sure you remind kids of these important safety tips: • If they see a downed power line, they should stay away from it and report it to an adult. • Do not play with toys, especially kites and remote control airplanes, or climb trees near power lines. • Go inside right away if they hear thun-der or see lightning—do not seek shelter under trees. • Do not play around neighborhood electrical substations or boxes. For additional electrical safety informa-tion, visit www.esfi .org
