What’s on
Your Plate?
Te U.S. Department of Agriculture
has been trying to help us eat healthier
for a very long time.
Back in 1943, we had “The Basic
Seven” -- seven categories of food we
needed to eat on a daily basis. Serving
sizes weren’t included.
In 1956, the USDA switched to “Te
Basic Four,” and in 1979 to the “Hassle-
Free Guide to a Better Diet.” It added
a new food category with fats, sweets
and alcohol. In 1984, we got the “Food
Wheel: A Pattern for Daily Food Choic-
es.” Tis one included serving sizes.
Eight years later, in 1992, the “Food
Guide Pyramid” came along with those
tiny pictures of food. In 2005 we got the
MyPyramid Food Guidance System,
which was supposed to be a simplifed
pyramid.
Now, in an efort to keep us all eating
correctly, we have “MyPlate.” Te icon is
cute: a plate divided into four unequal
sections, with a fork on the left and a
circle above the plate for “Dairy.”
All this work, and I still didn’t know
how much the USDA intends for me
to eat.
On the website [www.choosemyplate.
gov] I clicked on the Get a Personalized
Plan link and entered my age, weight,
height and level of exercise. It came
back with a diet plan for me, including
information such as “Make at least half
your grains whole grains,” “Vary your
veggies” and “Focus on fruit” with spe-
cifc tips on how to do that.
While the “Plate” is a bit silly, as was
the Pyramid, the information behind it
is solid. Check the USDA website and
see what it has to say.
You know, of course, that an entre-
preneur somewhere is busily creating
MyPlate plates with the appropriate
sections all outlined for us.

R
esidents in Winchester are more than
neighbors, family members and friends,
they are listed as some of the friendliest people
in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast region of
the United States.
Leisure Publishing Company confrmed that
Winchester is one of the two friendliest towns
in Virginia. LPC held a contest to fnd the
friendliest places in the region last winter, and
through an accumulation of votes, Winchester
took the title.
“We are pleased with the results,” said
Winchester-Frederick County Convention
and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Sally
Coates. “Local residents should be proud of
this designation.”
Everyone had the opportunity to vote for
Winchester, Frederick County, or the towns of
Stephens City or Middletown. Coates said that
residents have become accustomed to help-
ing tourists, and enjoy doing so, thanks to the
84 years the city has hosted the Shenandoah
Apple Blossom Festival.
“Winchester has always been the hub of many
important crossroads – like Rt. 522, 50, 11
– and I think our residents have always cheer-
fully helped tourists get around from point A
to point B,” she said.
Te July-August edition of Blue Ridge Coun-
try Magazine will feature the 16 friendliest
towns in 10 states, with a story written by Cara
Ellen Modisett ready to hit stands next week.
“I have traveled all over Europe and the U.S.,
and I really don’t think there is a more beautiful
place,” said Maricarol Miller, manager of the
Old Court House Civil War Museum.

MIDDLETOWN — It was a jam-
packed week-end at Hooked on
Fiber and Gifts in Middletown last
week-end. Te business, almost
a year old, fnally held its Top of
Virginia Chamber of Commerce
ribbon cutting on Friday morn-
ing.
Rich Weller, the Chamber’s Di-
rector of Membership, provided
a greeting, and brought along a
very large pair of scissors to cut
the ribbon. Weller emphasized
that by helping individual busi-
nesses, you also help the business
community, which in turn helps
both the community as a whole,
and the individual members of
that community.
That sentiment was echoed
by Middletown Mayor Mark
Brown.
Te ribbon cutting was attended
by a cross-section of the commu-
nity. Te store’s owners, Becky and
Hall Stalcup, Val Kellam, and Joan
Pembelton, cut the ribbon.
Suzie Smith and Roger Ernst,
Chamber Ambassadors, were on
hand. Mayor Brown and Middle-
town Councilmember Carl Bern-
hards attended. Rosalie Cornwell,
the real estate agent that helped
the group buy the property at 7735
Main Street, and her contractor
husband, Doug, who renovated
the property, came to lend sup-
port.
Stephanie Pembleton, a member
of the Middletown Planning Com-
mission, also attended. In addi-
tion, there were members of the
community, and loyal customers.
The group provided refresh-
ments made with product sold in
the store. Tere was “Savannah
Cinnamon” Raspberry, mixed
with Old Tyme Lemonade, which
made a refreshing drink. Bridget’s
Bakery provided cupcakes deco-
rated in the store’s colors. Inside,
there were meatballs made with
salsa and orange spice, and ham
marinated in hazelnut.
On Saturday, the store held one
in a series of “Sale-a-brations.” Te
rain held of until the very end
of the festivities. Tere were lla-
mas, alpacas, bunnies, and goats.
Tere were spinning, weaving, rug
hooking, and crocheted jewelry
demonstrations.
Vendors included Misty Starr
Alpacas, Our Farms to You (food),
Mountain Haven Crafts (rug punch,
punch needle, and rug hooking),
Acacia Jewelry (crocheted jewelry),
Graustark Farm, LLC Llamas,
Acacia Meadow Farms (weaving),
and Stinkin’ Cute (crocheted items,
especially cute hats.)
During the afternoon, Heart-
strings played dulcimer music and
gave demonstrations.
Te parking lot across the street
at Middletown Courts, was flled
most of the day, with people park-
ing along Route 11, as well.
“We had a great turnout, and we
appreciate the support of the en-
tire community. People came and
had a great time, playing with the
animals, watching the demonstra-
tions, and eating wonderful food.
We continue our quest to provide
quality merchandise, that not only
is made in America, but most often
produced in the local community.
Look for our anniversary celebra-
tion on October 1,” said Becky
Stalcup.
Cornwell said the success of the
business is an inspiration.
“I am delighted with the success
of Hooked on Fiber and Gifts. Te
owners started their business with
a well thought out business plan,
and it has worked. Teir success
proves that Middletown is a vi-
able business community, which
has the support of both elected
ofcials and the community,” the
real estate agent said. “I encourage
other entrepreneurs to consider
Middletown for their business
location.”
Mayor Brown explained that
Middletown is now ofcially des-
ignated the Gateway to the Cedar
Creek and Belle Grove National
Historic Park. As such, he predicts
more tourist trafc coming to and
through Middletown.
“We’ve seen a number of new
stores planning on opening in
Middletown in the near future,
and we expect more within the
next few months. Tank you to
Hooked on Fiber and Gifts for
helping to pave the way,” he said.

MIDDLETOWN – National Park
Ranger Shannon Moeck led tour
group members on the very frst
guided historical Middletown
walking tour Saturday morning,
June 18.
Te tour is only one of the many
tours being ofered in the Win-
chester-Frederick County area
this summer season thanks to a
project being undertaken by the
Winchester-Frederick County
Civil War Sesquicentennial Com-
mittee, and coordinated by the
Winchester-Frederick County
Convention and Visitors Center.
Eager participants began assem-
bling in front of the old potato
chip factory about 15 minutes
before the scheduled start time of
11 a.m., just of of First and Main
streets in downtown Middle-
town.
This particular tour is being
ofered at this time on the third
Saturdays of each month up to
October.
Moeck, who developed the
historical Middletown tour for
interested visitors, was also the
National Park Ranger that guided
tour participants around and
throughout the Cedar Creek Bat-
tlefeld only a few weeks before.
“In this particular part of the
Shenandoah Valley,” said Moeck,
“People saw war coming.”
Like the other tours reviewed
so far in the Frederick County
Report’s series of guided histori-
cal tours, the Middletown walk-
ing tour attracted and entertained
visitors of all ages.
Te inquisitive tour participants
followed closely behind Ranger
Moeck, who shared her knowl-
edge of Middletown’s history as
well as the history behind the
correlating military engagements
that took place at the southern
end of Middletown, at the Cedar
Creek Battlefeld and Belle Grove
Plantation.
Moeck provided the tour par-
ticipants with facts, quotes and
historical accounts that occurred
within the town that sits just
on the outskirts of a battlefeld
where more than 9000 Union
and Confederate soldiers met
their untimely fates in a matter
of only around 24 hours, nearly
a century and a half ago.
She has accrued such a wealth
of knowledge throughout her
studies in history courses locally
at Lord Fairfax CC and her own
diligent personal research.
Moeck claimed that it was criti-
cal to be able to integrate some
history about at least one of the
battles of Cedar Creek into the his-
torical Middletown walking tour
because the military engagements
were of course the major shaping
infuences for this quaint Virginia
town during the most infuential
w a r
at any point in our nation’s
history.
“I want to give you a sense of
what it felt like to live in Middle-
town during the Civil War,” she
said.
Tis walking tour was similar to
the aforementioned Cedar Creek
driving tour in the fact that it was
provided free of charge to inter-
ested participants.
Tis luxury was made possible
due to the tireless eforts of the
work-
ers of the National Park
Service and local volunteers
sacrifcing their time in order to
make sure the invaluable histori-
cal landmarks of the area remain
preserved for many years to
come.
Throughout the two Middle-
town/Cedar Creek tours, group
participants have continuously
expressed their appreciation for
the intimate view into an area
entrenched in so much important
history.
Unlike some more widely-known
Civil War tourist locations like
Gettysburg, Middletown’s tours
allow the participants to tread
the historical streets, which were
once used exclusively by horses
and wagons, in a way that they
might walk down the streets of
their own hometown.
Instead of horde mobs brandish-
i ng
more documentary equip-
ment than a National Geographic
operation, Ranger Moeck and
her associates are able to provide
engrossed visitors to the area
with a comfortable but personal
perspective in a town that once
housed the likes of Generals
Jubal Early, Stonewall Jackson and
many more.
Moeck claims that the relaxed
environment allows her more
fexibility in the precise timing
of the tours, which was about
60 minutes for the Middletown
walking tour, and as a result, more
opportunities to take questions
and provide insight for the always
curious tour participants in order
to provide the best experience
to them.

Moeck urges any groups or individuals who are
interested in learning more about the captivating
history behind the town of Middletown itself or
the two infamous local battles just a few miles
outside of it to contact the Cedar Creek and
Belle Grove National Historical Park by phone
at 540-869-2896.
She also wanted to remind the public that there
will be increasing opportunities and perspectives
available to learn all about the area’s history as
the National Park Service grows into a bigger
local presence as the years go on, but stressed
that it wouldn’t be completely possible without
the continued local support from the generous
residents of Middletown and its other absolutely
precious contributing partners.
“Big things are on the plate for our future here,”
she said.

History
Tim Kaine to participate in Middletown celebration
It was confirmed Monday that Kaine will par-
ticipate in Middletown’s July 4 parade.
“He is looking forward to the Middletown Fourth
of July parade and many more stops in the valley,”

Kaine’s office was contacted by Middletown’s
Mayor Mark Brown several weeks ago. Mayor
Brown is “pleased that Governor Kaine will par-
ticipate in our parade, and that he deems the vot-
ers of the Shenandoah Valley to be significant to
his campaign.” Kaine was recently in Winchester
speaking at a Blue Ridge Democratic Women’s
Committee breakfast. The Middletown parade
is at 4 p.m. on July 4 on Main Street.

Te Frederick County Report
E
arl Zook is living proof that
age can’t dictate limitations.
At age 88, he is in the process
of hiking the Appalachian Trail,
a challenge for anyone. Zook
took on the challenge for a noble
cause. Trough this endeavor, he
is helping to raise money for the
American Institute for Cancer
Research.
Zook, a resident of Stephens City,
began hiking the Appalachian
Trail last year. Unfortunately, he
had to take a reprieve from hiking
due to an ulcer. Tis year, he is
continuing his eforts to reach his
goal. So far, including the distance
he was able to hike last year, he
has hiked from the Pennsylvania
line down to Tornton Gap near
Front Royal, which is 400-500
miles of the 2,172 mile trail. He
says the view from Skyline Drive
is fantastic.
Zook hopes to reach the south-
ern point of the Appalachian Trail,
which is in Spring Mountain, in
Georgia, by September. Next year,
he hopes to tackle the northern
stretch from the PA line and
continue upward until he reaches
Maine. Zook’s ultimate goal is to
fnish the Appalachian Trail at Mt.
Katahdin, Maine by the time he is
90 years old.
Zook became interested in hiking
the Appalachian Trail as a way to
raise money for cancer research.
He has lost two brother-in-laws to
cancer and one sister-in-law.
“Te purpose of my hike is to
help people with cancer,” he said.
Zook is an active member of the
Winchester Kiwanis Club. He says
that every year, club members go
to Camp Fantastic in Front Royal
and serve breakfast to children
who have cancer who are between
the ages of seven and 17.
“Seeing the children with cancer
really pulls at your heart strings,”
said Zook.
Tim Anderson, a fellow Kiwan-
ian, is Zook’s hiking mentor.
Anderson hiked the entire Appa-
lachian Trail about ten years ago.
Prior to his hiking the trail Zook
had never hiked before.
“He [Anderson] has helped me
fnd out how to go about it,” he
said.
Zook is systematic in the way he
is undertaking the 2,172 mile trail.
He lays out the trail in four to fve
mile sections, which is the most he
travels in one day. He does it “one
step at a time”.
Te kind of maps he uses can be
purchased at Harpers Ferry, WV.
Zook makes up index cards of
where he is going each day.
He does not hike on the week-
ends. On Sundays, he goes to
church and occasionally he sleeps
in. Zook never hikes alone.
Tis year, fellow Kiwanis Club
members are hiking with him.
Zook doesn’t stray far from the
trail. If there is an attraction close
to the trail, he will go see it, but he
says the trail is “long enough” as it
is and he doesn’t wish to add miles
to it. Zook chose “Bald Eagle” as
his trail name.
Prior to going out on the trail,
Zook tries to pack light for the
hike. Instead of packing peanut
butter and crackers separately,
he buys them already packaged
together.
“Tere’s no use in getting old if
you don’t get smarter,” he said.
At 10 a.m., Zook takes out his
pre-packaged morning snack of
cookies and peanut butter crack-
ers. At lunchtime, he eats canned
chicken. In the afternoon, he
enjoys a couple of candy bars. He
says that he eats the chocolate
whether it’s melted or not. He
noted that chocolate is a good
energy builder. He also takes some
candy along for the day’s hike.
When out on the trail, he likes to
take high energy food that’s light
in weight. If Zook doesn’t sleep in
his “Waldorf Astoria Suite”—his
tent— he may sleep in a shelter
along the trail. If a hotel is not
near the trail and he doesn’t sleep
in his tent, he sleeps wherever he
has to. He says he has even slept
with mice.
Starting this June, Zook plans to
hike the rest of the summer. Dur-
ing the week of May 23, he was
dog sitting for his son, so he took
that week of from hiking. July 1-8,
Zook will be at Emory & Henry
College in southwestern Virginia.
He will be hiking in the Smoky
Mountains with a group from the
college. Both he and the students
will be transported to and from the
college to the trail.
Raised a Mennonite, Zook has

Trail during one of his hiking sessions in his battle to
tackle the entire trail before he’s 90.

carried the work ethic he learned as a
child over into his career as a salesman.
He didn’t let having only an eighth grade
education stop him from going to the
top in his line of work. Zook worked for
Electrolux for 20 years. He started out as
a door-to-door salesman and retired as a
division manager.
After retiring from Electrolux, he went
to work for Pitney Bowes. After working
for Pitney Bowes for another 20 years,
Zook retired. Of course, he didn’t stay
retired for long. Ten years ago, Zook
started selling promotional items such
as pens, key chains and letter openers.
He says that if he can’t get it for you, then
“you don’t need it”. He told of a customer
who wanted a purple key chain in the
shape of a banana.
Zook wondered where he was going to
fnd something like that. He called one of
his suppliers and was able to fnd exactly
what his customer needed. Te customer
ended up ordering 500 purple banana-
shaped key chains. Tough Zook didn’t
share the following information himself,
he is listed as the top seller of tickets
among the members of the Winchester
Kiwanis Club. Zook sold 720 tickets this
spring and the person who sold the sec-
ond highest amount of tickets sold 439.
Zook has many words of wisdom for
the younger generation. He encourages
young people to take advantage of the
many educational opportunities that
are available these days. As a boy, Zook
attended a one-room schoolhouse. He
recalls a music teacher coming once a
month to teach a one-half hour lesson.
Today’s youths have so many opportuni-
ties available.
“Te secret is to take advantage of them
[is] enthusiasm,” he said. “[It] will take you
everywhere. Fear takes you nowhere.”
He also encourages young people to “try
to be number one, but number two isn’t
bad either”.
Troughout his life, Zook has tried to
take care of himself. His zest for living is
contagious.
“Staying busy is the secret to life,” he said.
“To get to the top of the mountain takes
a lot of hard work: to stay there takes a
lot of character”.
When Zook reaches the end of the
Appalachian Trail in Maine, he plans to
celebrate his 90 birthday at the base of
Mount Katahdin.
“Once you get to the top, the view is
fantastic,” Zook said.
His wife passed away six years ago.
Tey had one son who became an Air
Force pilot and who currently fies as a
captain for United Airlines. Zook has
two grandchildren, a boy and a girl, each
of whom have graduated from Sherando
High School.

Frederick County Report
L
aughter, smiles, and life-
long friendships are just
some of the things that girls
attending the Girl Scouts day
camp June 27 through July
1 at Calvary Church of the
Brethren.
A team of 13 individuals
are working to organize the
event for girls who are not
currently involved with
Girl Scouts, but are inter-
ested in learning more.
“The cost of the camp is
very low, $52 per girl, for
the week, to accommo-
date any girl in grades K-5
who would like to attend,”
said Lynn Thompson,
field director for Girl Scout
Council of the Nation’s Capital.
“We offer up to full scholar-
ships depending on the families
need.”
Thompson said the cost i s
able to remain so low thanks to
corporate grants, this year from
Washington Gas and CareFirst
Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Each
day June 27-July 1 camp starts at
8:30 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m.
“We are offering free transpor-
tation from three bus stops in
Winchester — Food Lion at Fort
Collier Dr., Quarles Elementary
and Pineville Plaza on Weems
Ln. For bus stop times, families
should contact our office at
888-263-8834,” said Thompson.
“Families can also drop off and
p i c k
up children at the church.”
Registering is easy, call the
Martinsburg office at the afore-
mentioned number. Interested
girls should be at least five years
old, for girls who are grade six or
higher an opportunity to exhibit
their leadership skills by volun-
teering, and in turn admission
is free.
“During the week the girls will
be divided into groups by grade
levels to participate in a variety
of activities including crafts, sci-
ence, songs, and games, healthy
living and more,” Thompson
said. “The girls will create tie-
dye, make popcorn, discover
gluep, meet new friends, and
take part in fair style activities at
the ‘County Fair’ at the end of the
week.”
The fair will host water games,
and a chance to play with a
parachute, as well as explore
traditions and values of Girl
Scouting.
“We try to break down ev-
ery barrier to participation,
including cost, language and
transportation with the idea
being that every girl deserve
the opportunity to attend a
summer day camp regardless
of her family’s situation,” said
Thompson. “Activities are led
by traine, approved volunteer
adults and teens.”
Campers need to bring a lunch,
water bottle, sunscreen, bug
spray and a backpack to keep
everything in.

Taking the Mystery
Out of Credit Scores
FICO, short for Fair Isaac Corpora-
tion, was founded in 1956 by a math-
ematician and an engineer who were
interested in the analysis of numbers
— including credit scores. Their work
gave creditors a means of predict-
ing which customers are more or less
likely to default on loans. Your score
can pre-determine how you’re treated
by creditors:
1. A high credit scores equates to a
lower anticipated rate of default.
2. Creditors raise or lower the inter-
est rates they offer you based on your
likely risk of default.
3. The higher your credit score, the
better the deal you’ll get on interest
and the more money you’re likely to
save over time.
The front screen of the MyFico.com
website gives a perfect example of
potential savings: “A 100-point differ-
ence in your FICO score could mean
over $40,000 extra in interest pay-
ments over the life of a 30-year mort-
gage on a $300,000 home loan.”
FICO scores range from 300 to 850
and are based payment history, length
of credit history, new credit you might
open, amount of established credit
and the types of credit. A mix of credit
types — perhaps vehicle, mortgage,
credit card — will yield a better score
than all credit cards or vehicle only.
With all the lender emphasis on credit
worthiness, a simple late payment can
damage your credit score. The later it
is, the more damage is done.
Here’s an additional credit fact:
Unfair though it is, the higher your
credit score, the bigger the “ding” to
your credit if you do miss payments.
Here is a comparison of late payment
and bankruptcy at two levels of credit
score and the length of time for the
score to rise again:
Thirty days late: Credit score of 680
might be cut to 600-620, but can rise
again in nine months. A score of 780
might be cut to 670-690, and it could
take three years for the score to rise
again.
Bankruptcy: Credit score of 680
might be cut to 530-550, and could
take five years to rise again. A score
of 780 might be cut to 540-560, and
it could take seven to 10 years for the
score to rise again.
For more information on keep-
ing your credit score healthy, visit
MyFico.com.

It was 19th-century German philoso-
pher Arthur Schopenhauer who made
the following sage observation: “There
is no absurdity so palpable but that it
may be firmly planted in the human
head if you only begin to inculcate it
before the age of five, by constantly
repeating it with an air of great solem-
nity.”
***
Those who study such things say that
half of all money spent on food in the
United States is spent in restaurants.
***
If, like me, you are constantly finding
excess wire hangers in your closets, you
probably won’t be surprised to learn
that more than 2.7 billion of them were
imported in 2010 alone.
***
You might be surprised to learn that
beer brewers in Australia are on the
cutting edge of alternative energy pro-
duction. They have created a “beer bat-
tery” -- the world’s first, they claim -- in
which electricity is generated by bacte-
ria consuming the waste that is created
by the brewing process.
***
Companies today sometimes seem to
go too far in advertising their products,
but consider Richard Chesebrough,
who invented the petroleum jelly Vase-
line in 1872. In order to market his
new creation as a salve for cuts and
burns, he traveled around New York
state demonstrating the efficacy of the
product by burning his skin with acid,
then applying Vaseline to the injury. A
display of his past burns that had been
healed with Vaseline would, in theory,
convince people to buy the product.
***
If you’re looking to brighten up your
living space with some greenery, you
might want to consider getting a bon-
sai tree. They live longer than any other
houseplant.

place where they’ll pay you a thousand
dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
clever Ewes and Rams love nothing
more than to rise to a challenge. So, by
all means, if you feel sure about your
facts, step right up and defend your
side of the issue.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
You’ve done some great work recently.
Now it’s time to reward yourself with
something wonderful, perhaps a day at
a spa or a night out with someone very
special.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You
love to talk, but don’t forget to make
time to do a little more listening; other-
wise, you could miss out on an impor-
tant message someone might be trying
to send to you.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Your aspect indicates some uncer-
tainty about one of your goals. Use this
period of shifting attitudes to reassess
what you really want and what you’re
ready to do to get it.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your
social life is picking up, and you’ll
soon be mingling with old friends and
making new ones. But ‘twixt the fun
times, stay on top of changing work-
place conditions.
VIRGO (August 23 September 22)
A trusted friend offers understanding
as you vent some long-pent-up feel-
ings. Now, move on from there and
start making the changes you’ve put
off all this time.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) You might well feel uneasy as you
face a difficult situation involving
someone close to you. But you know
you’re doing the right thing, so stick
with your decision.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-
ber 21) You’re a good friend to oth-
ers. Now’s the time to allow them to
be good friends to you. Rely on their
trusted advice to help you get through
an uncertain period.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Family and friends are
always important, but especially so at
this time. Despite your hectic work-
place schedule, make a real effort to
include them in your life.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) That project you’ve been
working on is almost ready for presen-
tation. But you still need some infor-
mation from a colleague before you
can consider it done.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-
ary 18) Don’t let those negative atti-
tudes that have sprung up around you
drain your energies. Shrug them off,
and move ahead with the confidence
that you can get the job done.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Aspects favor some dedicated fun
time for the hardworking Piscean. A
nice, refreshing plunge into the social
swim can recharge your physical and
emotional batteries.
BORN THIS WEEK: You love to
travel and be with people. You prob-

• On July 8, 1776, a 2,000-pound
copper-and-tin bell now known as the
“Liberty Bell” rings out from the tower
of the Pennsylvania State House (now
Independence Hall) in Philadelphia,
summoning citizens to the first public
reading of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. As the British advanced toward
Philadelphia in the fall of 1777, the
bell was removed from the city and
hidden in Allentown to save it from
being melted down by the British and
used to make cannons.
• On July 4, 1826, the 50th anniver-
sary of the adoption of the Declara-
tion of Independence, John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson, the second and
third presidents of the United States,
respectively, die. Both men had been
central in the drafting of the historic
document.
• On July 5, 1865, in London, reviv-
alist preacher William Booth and his
wife Catherine establish the Christian
Mission, later known as the Salvation
Army, to wage war against the evils of
poverty and religious indifference.
• On July 7, 1930, construction of
the Hoover Dam begins. Over the next
five years, a total of 21,000 men would
produce what would be the largest dam
of its time. Today, the Hoover Dam
generates enough energy each year to
serve more than a million people.
• On July 9, 1947, in a ceremony
held at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va.,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower appoints
Florence Blanchfield to be a lieuten-
ant colonel in the U.S. Army, making
her the first woman in U.S. history to
hold permanent military rank. Blanch-
field had served as superintendent of
the Army Nurse Corps during World
War II.
• On July 6, 1957, Liverpool teenag-
ers John Lennon and Paul McCartney
meet for the first time. Lennon was a
member of the Quarry Men, scheduled
to play at a public event. Two weeks
later, Lennon invited McCartney to
join the Quarry Men.
• On July 10, 1962, the United States
Patent Office issues Swedish engineer
Nils Bohlin a patent for his three-point
automobile safety belt. The traditional
two-point belt had been known to
cause severe internal abdominal inju-
ries in the event of a high-speed crash.

• It was American cartoonist,
humorist and journalist Kin Hubbard
who made the following sage obser-
vation: “There’s no secret about suc-
cess. Did you ever know a successful
man who didn’t tell you about it?”
• Next time you’re in Iowa, you
might want to stop by the rural town
of Riverside, which touts itself as the
future birthplace of Captain James T.
Kirk. Yep, the future birthplace. It
seems that “Star Trek” creator Gene
Roddenberry asserted that the charac-
ter of James Tiberius Kirk was born in
Iowa, but he didn’t specify exactly
where. In 1985, the Riverside City
Council voted to declare their town
the future birthplace of the character,
later writing to Roddenberry and
receiving his approval. In honor of its
newfound claim to fame, the city
began hosting an annual Trek Fest,
complete with a Spockapalooza battle
of the bands.
• If you enjoy cooking, you might
have heard of some of the following
cookbooks: “Kill It and Grill It,” “The
Joy of Pickling,” “Full of Beans,”
“The Stinking Cookbook” and “I
Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat!” Then
again, maybe not.
• The term “bric-a-brac,” usually
used to refer to a collection of tawdry
trinkets, comes from the French,
where its original meaning was “at
random.”
• Most parents of small children
know that trampolines can be danger-
ous, and they are. Every year, nearly
100,000 people receive emergency-
room treatment for injuries sustained
while using trampolines. Those
injuries are hardly ever fatal, though.
Pools, on the other hand, are far more
deadly; more than 1,000 people in the
United States die in swimming pools
annually.

humble beginnings for our great men.

Kurt Busch Closing on
Points Leader
For Kurt Busch, the 2011
season has been a process
of ebb and fow ... and ebb
again. Or vice-versa.
Te 32-year-old Busch,
the elder of racing broth-
ers, began the season un-
ofcially with a victory in
the Budweiser Shootout,
followed by fnishes of ffth,
eighth, ninth and seventh in
the Sprint Cup season’s frst
four “point races.” Ten he
went into a slump, with
fnishes of 17th, 16th, 10th,
18th, 22nd, 27th and 14th.
After the season’s frst
four races, Busch stood at
the top of the point stand-
ings. Seven races later,
he had fallen to eighth.
But since then, the graph
has turned upward again.
Busch has fnished fourth,
ninth and second in the
three most-recent races,
lifting him back up to sixth
in the standings, only 35
points behind leader Carl
Edwards.
Busch’s disgruntle-
ment was obvious during
the rough spots. Changes
were made in manage-
ment at Penske Racing, at
least partly in response to
Busch’s complaints, many
of which were heard by fans
over scanners during races.
Now, once again, Kurt
Busch is a picture of con-
tentment, with results to
back it up.
Edwards ran into engine
trouble at Michigan, almost
erasing what had been a
comfortable edge in points.
Busch’s runner-up fnish at
Pocono Raceway was one
ahead of younger brother
Kyle.
“When the point leader
has problems, everybody’s
just chomping at the bit,
licking their lips, going,
‘Wow, look at this, I’m right
back in this.’ When you’re
having good runs like we
are, my little brother and
me, just plugging away,
that helps you feel more
solid when you get to the
month of August, after you
get through the Brickyard,
making that summer run to
the Chase,” said Kurt.
Given recent perfor-
mances, “that summer run
to the Chase” seems prom-
ising for both Busch broth-
ers.
Kurt Busch won the Cup
championship in 2004, the
frst year the Chase format
was implemented. At the
time, he drove a Ford for
Jack Roush. Now he drives
one of two Dodges felded
by Roger Penske.
“Right now it’s all about
consistency,” said Kurt. “I’d
like to break through and
get a win just to help us
feel more confdent in our
Chase position.
“When the point leader
has trouble, everybody ben-
efts from that.”

Biffle Is Racing
as Hard as He Can
This hasn’t been the season Greg
Biffle expected, though he certainly
has time to pick up the pieces.
The 39-year-old Biffle didn’t win
during the 2008 regular season, but
after making the Chase, proceeded to
win its first two races. He wound up
third in the Sprint Cup standings.
For now, Biffle’s first priority is
making the Chase, but that doesn’t
mean he’s going to back off.
“We’re certainly not racing conserv-
atively,” he said. “We’re racing to win,
but we’re not going to do anything stu-
pid.
“We know we have to stay in (the top
12 in order to qualify for the Chase).
It’s tight ... and we’re doing all we can
do.”
Roush Fenway Racing put Biffle in
what was then still the Winston Cup
Series back in 2003. He finished sec-
ond in the Chase standings two years
later. A year ago, three Roush Fenway
drivers — Biffle, Carl Edwards and
Matt Kenseth — made the Chase.
They could do it again, but the posi-
tions of Biffle and Kenseth are hardly
secure as the regular season enters its
final four races.
“We’re just going to have to be bet-
ter,” said Biffle. “We know that. We’re
nervous about getting in (the Chase),
and anything can happen. ... There are
some races we’re concerned about
leading up to the cutoff (end of the reg-
ular season), and we know we’re on
the bubble, so it’s important to have
good finishes right now.”
Biffle, from Vancouver, Wash., is
one of only two drivers to have won
championships in both the Nation-
wide and Camping World Truck
series. (Johnny Benson is the other.)
Biffle also was rookie of the year in
both series. He came up through
NASCAR’s developmental system,
winning track championships early in
his career at Tri-City Raceway in West
Richland, Wash., and Portland (Ore.)
Speedway.
“Really, we’re working as hard as we
can every week to bring the best race
cars we can to the track,” said Biffle.
“It’s important that we have the best
possible equipment right now.
“We’re racing as hard as we can.
We’re not taking big risks, but, at the
same time, we’re racing for the win.”

sports for The Gaston (N.C.) Gazette
