Bradford Comes Up Just Short

Bradford didn't win The Weather Channel's Toughest Weather City Tournament but, as Mayor Tom Riel just told us, we are the Toughest Weather City east of the Mississippi.

Even The Weather Channel said we're overachievers because they never expected us to go anywhere in the tournament. The final vote count was 29,837 for Fargo and 25,575 for Bradford. Respectable, considering Fargo's population is 105,000 and Bradford's is about 9,000.

The Weather Channel says, "The championship was really Fargo's only stern test." They got 54 percent of the vote against Bradford, but steamrolled their other competition by between 74 and 91 percent.

To get as far North as Fargo, ND., Bradford people would have to travel to Canada. But if you live in North Dakota you can place one foot in ND and the other in Canada. If you went out and shoveled every time it snowed this year, we all know who is the toughest! Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
