increase sales for local businesses, with an over $2.5-million economic impact on Chautauqua County. Now, the Chamber is transitioning that program from a check to a gift card, making it even easier to use for both local consumers and merchants. The Chamber is reaching out to current gift check participants to transition them into the new program and is inviting all Chamber members that accept credit cards to participate. The Shoptauqua Gift Card is
a closed loop system for participating businesses, meaning that cards sold will stay in the County with our members, keeping money in our local economy. Gift cards will be accepted by swiping them through existing point of sale card systems. Involvement in the new program is easy and free for Chamber members. The Shoptauqua Gift Card program is administered by EML Payments, an international payment systems processor based in Kansas City,
Missouri. Tranum added, “We researched a variety of options and we found that this system is designed to help our members increase sales, keeps dollars in our local economy and takes advantage of current technologies to meet the needs of our members and card purchasers.” For more information about participating in the Shoptauqua Gift Card program, or to pre-order gift cards, please contact the Chamber at (716) 366-6200 or (716) 484-1101.

Horrigan Reminds Residents to use Safety When Viewing Partial Solar Eclipse PUBLIC ENCOURAGED TO WEAR ECLIPSE GLASSES OR USE SOLAR VIEWERS TO SEE AUGUST 21 ECLIPSE Contributed Article Office of the County Executive
Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan encourages the public to use safety while viewing the total solar eclipse that will cross the United States on August 21, 2017. The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979. During the 2017 eclipse, the moon will completely cover the sun along a path from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Individuals in Chautauqua County and other observers outside this path of totality will be able to see a partial solar eclipse. “As individuals join family and friends to view this rare phenomenon, I encourage them to supervise children and take precautions to protect themselves from eye damage,” said Horrigan. Individuals should never look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars or other optical device. The only way for individuals to safely look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is by using special-purpose solar filters such as eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewers. “Ordinary sunglasses will not protect someone’s eyes when they are looking directly at the sun,” said Christine Schuyler, Chautauqua County Director of Health and Human Services. “The human retina is very sensitive to light and the sun’s surface is so bright that it can produce enough light to damage retinal cells.” Individuals who do not use proper solar filters while looking at the sun can damage their eyes, which can cause them to see shadows or a big spot for a couple of hours, several weeks or months. In very rare cases, it can also cause blindness. When using eclipse glasses or solar viewers, it is important for individuals to: • Inspect the solar filter before using it and do not use any damaged or scratched filters; • Stand still and cover their eyes with the eclipse glasses or solar viewer before they look up at the bright sun. Individuals who normally wear eyeglasses, should keep them on and put their eclipse glasses on over them or their handheld viewer in front of them; • Never remove their eclipse glasses or solar viewer while looking at the sun. Instead, turn away and then remove the filter; • Frequently look away from the partial eclipse to keep their eyes cool as infrared heat from the sun can warm the tissues and fluids in the eye and make viewing uncomfortable even with proper filters; and • Do not look at the sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars or other optical device while using their eclipse glasses or solar viewer. The concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter the eyes causing serious injury. For more information about the total solar eclipse on August 21 and how to protect your eyes visit https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov or www.cdc.gov/features/solar-eclipsesafety.

All pets must be on a leash or in a cage and pet owners should bring rabies vaccination records for each animal that will be receiving a shot to ensure proper and effective vaccination. New York State Public Health Law requires each dog, cat and domesticated ferret over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and county residents are encouraged to be responsible pet owners by having their pets vaccinated. Rabies is a very serious disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva and it can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open cut. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and can cause brain swelling and ultimately death within days of the onset of symptoms.

Classic White Cake
Contributing Writer
One of those simple, reliable things in life is plain old birthday cake. Even when it’s not amazing-out-of-this-world good, it’s still good. It takes a lot to mess up a basic vanilla cake. It also doesn’t do it justice to call it birthday cake, when the same kind of cake is used for such a vast array of celebrations. Weddings, graduations, baby showers, bridal showers, new jobs, retirement, anniversaries, the list goes on and on. Even people who don’t really care for dessert go for this kind of stuff. Personally, I am not a huge cake fan, but that’s only because there are so many other desserts to pick from. The point is that it’s rare for people to turn down your most trusted and wellknown dessert. Usually when I’m baking for family, the request is for chocolate cake or some other dessert, and then there are the times when it’s a surprise dessert. I enjoy making exactly what someone has requested, but sometimes, I just really want to try out a new recipe too. Believe it or not, I don’t often make cakes just for our house to enjoy. When I say, ‘not often,’ I pretty much mean not ever. There is no way we would ever eat an entire cake by ourselves. Cakes are reserved for celebrations with family and friends. Recently, there was an anniversary in our family, and I tried out a recipe from one of my most beloved and trusted cookbooks that I had never tried before. This cookbook was one of the first gifts that my husband had gotten me when we were newlyweds, so it’s been around for a while now, and will be around for even longer. I thought that I had tried all of the cake recipes that it had to offer, until I started hunting for a white cake recipe. Although I had made white cake before, for some reason, I had never used this particular recipe, and now I really wish that I had. This cake was fantastic. Again, this is coming from someone who is not really a cake person. It was the perfect blend of dense, and light and fluffy. Not too much vanilla flavor, but just the right amount. The recipe calls for sour milk or buttermilk, I used sour milk (1 1/3 C. milk with one tablespoon of vinegar added) and it turned out great. This addition may also help to repel any unwanted batter testing. One whiff of that sour milk and no kid will want to touch it, ha! I would also like to add that this cake needed the full 35 minutes to bake. It actually stood up to the toothpick challenge after 30 minutes, but it was definitely still gooey in the middle. Without any further ado, I present to you a Classic White Cake recipe. As always, thanks for reading and happy baking from HBK!
Classic White Cake Ingredients: • 4 egg whites • 2 C. flour • 1 tsp. baking powder • ½ tsp. baking soda • ½ C. butter, softened • 1 ¾ C. sugar • 1 tsp. vanilla • 1 1/3 C. buttermilk or sour milk Instructions: 1. Allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare pan(s.) 3. Mix together dry ingredients until well combined. 4. Beat butter until smooth, add sugar and vanilla. 5. Add egg whites to butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well. 6. Alternately add flour and milk to butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. 7. Bake 20-25 minutes for two round cakes, and 30-35 minutes for a 9x13 cake pan. 8. Let cool fully before frosting.

Shoptauqua Gift Card Program Launched to Support Local Business Written by Todd J. Tranum, President and CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier A core focus of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is to help our member businesses increase their sales. Therefore, we are launching the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Shoptauqua Gift Card program to bring more foot traffic and increased sales to our local businesses. Shoptauqua Gift Cards can be pre-ordered now and will be available for distribution in early October at our Chamber offices in Dunkirk and Jamestown. For many years the Chamber has been running a gift check program, which has boosted foot traffic and increased sales for local businesses, providing an over $2.5-million economic impact in Chautauqua County. We will be phasing out the gift check program to make way for the gift card. The Shoptauqua Gift Card is a closed loop system for participating Chamber member businesses, meaning that cards sold stay in the County with our members, keeping money in our local economy. The Shoptauqua Gift Card is a free member service that is easy to setup and easy to use. We encourage current gift check program participants and other Chamber members to sign up as soon as possible for the Shoptauqua Gift Card. We encourage local consumers to purchase Shoptauqua Gift Cards. The cards make a great gift for a birthday
or holiday. Many employers in our area purchase them as employee appreciation gifts. When you buy a Shoptauqua Gift Card you are supporting local businesses and our economy. Our local retailers, restaurants and service providers face unprecedented competition. In particular, large internet sales platforms are crippling storefront businesses across the nation. The Shoptauqua Gift Card is a way to support our local business people and their employees. So, please consider purchasing Shoptauqua Gift Cards.

THURS., AUG. 24TH @ 4:30 PM • JAMESTOWN (Frewsburg), NY
Viscount Mining Corp (TSX-V: VML, OTCQB: VLMGF) is a Vancouver-based mining project generator. Its strategy is to seek out and acquire properties that have potential to contain large amounts of silver, gold, and other valuable metals. Then it conducts new rounds of exploration to see what's actually in the ground and to pin down what the property is worth. Now it appears that this approach is paying off big time for Viscount. The company was able to acquire a property in the historic Hardscrabble Silver District of Colorado Viscount Mining's exposed silver vein at Silver Cliff property that had been assessed in Colorado in the 1980s as containing more than 50 million ounces of silver. The property, named Silver Cliff, hadn't been mined at the time. Last year, Viscount conducted a new round of test drillings at Silver Cliff. The results recently came in recently and confirmed that the property has some of the highest levels of silver ore ever measured in North America. Stock analysts are impressed. According to a new equity research report from Alex Cutulenco of Ubika Corporation, "the enterprise value of [Viscount] could increase to at least $50 million, about five times today's enterprise value." Moreover, the company's potential extends beyond just the Silver Cliff property. As Viscount CEO Jim MacKenzie explains in a recent interview with Stock-Sector, the company also has painstakingly acquired a valuable mining property in Nevada called Cherry Creek. Recent mapping and analysis shows great promise for gold and silver on that property as well. To fully assess the new exploration data and the historical records, Viscount has hired one of the nation's top mining experts, Dr. Gilles Arseneau. Dr. Arseneau has more than a quarter-century of experience evaluating gold and base metal deposits everywhere from North and South America to China and Europe. Once all of the exploration work is done and the data is fully analyzed, Viscount will be looking for experienced partners to mine the property.

His work as a local partner for the New York State Tobacco Control Program concentrated on local implementation of the statewide youth anti-tobacco program (Reality Check); a three-year research project focused on determining best practices for engaging college students in tobacco-free advocacy; and the Colleges for Change program focused on the development of tobacco-free policies for colleges and universities. Most recently he is serving as the Community Engagement Coordinator for Tobacco-Free Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties and serves on the NYS tobacco control regional and statewide representative boards to help shape and advice on upcoming tobacco control interventions. For several years, he has partnered with The National Center for Tobacco Policy to train campus officials across the U.S. to develop effective and sustainable tobacco free campus policies built upon a culture of mutual respect. This has included organizing and presenting at three National Tobacco Free Campus Policy Conferences. During his time in tobacco control, Ken has also worked at building global partnerships around tobacco and has helped to establish tobacco free interventions in the UK, France, Nigeria, Thailand and Malaysia as well as creating several specific global action projects targeting tobacco industry marketing tactics. He has researched the actions of the transnational tobacco companies around global tobacco growing, production and marketing with specific focus on human rights, child labor and environmental violations. The results of his research and first-hand experiences have been presented at numerous colleges and universities, as well as many conferences and trainings, around the world.

Wireless Tips for Boomers Contributed Article StatePoint
There are currently more than 93 million Americans in the U.S. over age 55, according to Census data, and the vast majority (74 percent) of them have a smartphone. And that number keeps growing. In addition, Baby Boom- PHOTO SOURCE: (c) luengo_ua/stock.adobe.com ers spend an average of 149 minutes a day on their smartphones -- about as much as smartphone-obsessed Millennials at 171 minutes per day. Despite these figures, and the fact that members of this generation were the inventors of the wireless industry, many mobile plans for Americans aged 55 plus are still designed for a time before the Internet. They come with limited minutes, and no data. “The fact is that many ‘senior’ plans offer limited services that only work with basic phones. This doesn’t make sense for most of today’s modern, mobile adults,” says John Legere, CEO and president of T-Mobile. “Unfortunately, many carriers and plans treat these generations like they’re stuck in the past.” But even without the dumbed down “senior” plans, empty nesters aren’t given great options. When kids leave the house and are off the family plan, most major carriers raise the per line cost by almost 60 percent, costing customers a hefty sum when it’s time to pay the bill each month. So how can you find the best deal for your needs? When looking for a plan, con-sider the following. • How many lines do you need? Virtually every wireless provider has a lower per line cost for four lines instead of two. So, if you only need two lines, look for a plan that won’t penalize you for not having four. • If you’re a frequent traveler -- whether it’s for business or pleasure -- ensure your wireless plan offers the perks you need to avoid sticker shock on your bills when you get home. T-Mobile ONE includes compelling perks for travelers – like an hour of free Gogo in-flight Internet on domestic flights and high-speed data in Mexico and Canada, and data and texting from 140 countries and destinations around the world. It’s a good choice for those on-the-go. • How much do you use your mobile phone? Be honest with the number of minutes you spend making calls and the amount of data you use. Lately, unlimited plans have become incredibly affordable and popular again. If you don’t want to ever have to worry about your data use, it may be time to take advantage of these deals and switch to an unlimited plan. Consider new options like the recently launched T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+, which is designed specifically for today’s modern mobile adults. For just $60 a month, with taxes and fees included in the price, those who are 55 and older can get T-Mobile ONE, with unlimited talk, text and 4G LTE data, as well as the already mentioned other perks. It also comes with the ability to use your number on other compatible phones, tablets and PCs. It’s limited to those aged 55 and older, so bring your ID when you go to sign up. To learn more, visit t-mobile.com/ unlimited55. Being over 55 doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your wireless plan, so do your research and find a plan that offers you everything you really need to stay connected at the best price.

International Fellowship Inc., headquartered in Westfield, NY is seeking volunteer host families for our foreign exchange students. Founded in 1952, International Fellowship has linked more than 30,000 exchange students with host families The responsibilities of a host "family" are to provide the student with three meals a day, a bed, a place to study, laundry facilities and guidance. Students come with their own health insurance, spending money for personal items, school supplies and any "extras" they choose to do. There is a Local Representative who volunteers as the liaison with the schools, students, host families, and our staff. Our office is available 24-7 by calling 1-800-647-8839. Our philosophy, “Through Knowledge and Friendship Come Understanding and Goodwill.” Exchange students add an international dimension to host families, schools and communities. All grow in knowledge, understanding and acceptance of cultures different from their own. Lifelong friendships often result from participating in the exchange student experience. These students help support local economies and, in a most hopeful way, help to encourage world peace and understanding. Please visit our website at www.internationalfellowship.org or call us at 1-800647-8839 for more information. Our email is: infelwes@gmail.com.

While packing lunch for the kids can seem like a daily grind, you can use the task as an opportunity to help kids form great lifelong habits. Here are five small ways changing your lunch-making routine can have large, positive impacts on the environment, your wallet and your kids’ health. 1. Pack with reusables. On average, a school-age child with a lunch packed in single-serve disposable materials like plastic snack bags or juice boxes generates 67 pounds of waste per school year, which equates to 18,760 pounds of lunch waste for an average-size elementary school, according to the estimates of Waste Free Lunches, a non-profit organization. Reduce your contribution to this waste and save money in the process with reusable containers. Waste Free Lunches
estimated that choosing only reusable containers can save you almost $250 per person, per year. To learn more about reducing lunchtime waste on the household or community level, visit, WasteFreeLunches.org. 2. Choose Made in USA. The “3 Rs” -- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle -- are a great refrain for environmentalists, but to ensure your family’s daily habits are minimally impacting the environment, consider adopting the simple act of choosing Made in USA products. This small change automatically reduces one’s carbon footprint by a magnitude of 10, according to a recent study conducted by Nalgene Outdoor, which offers a vast variety of BPA- and BPS free reusable water and food containers in a myriad of colors and designs, ranging in size from 12-ounces to 48-ounces. You can help explain the significance of buying Made in USA products to kids by telling them it’s like leaving a light on for 30 minutes vs. 3 minutes. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

5 EASY WAYS FAMILIES CAN GO GREEN WHEN PACKING SCHOOL LUNCHES, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 3. Buy food local. Without a doubt, the most nutrient-rich and often most cost-effective way to procure fresh produce is locally. Additionally, anything sourced within 100 miles of home has a significantly lower carbon footprint than something that has traveled through hemispheres to reach your grocery store shelves. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), co-ops and farmers markets are popular ways to find local produce direct from farmers. Check out localharvest.org to find a program near you. 4. DIY grab-and-go snacks. Prepackaged snacks are often priced at a premium and rarely offer nutritious enrichment, but with just a little prep work, you can create your own healthy options more affordably. “I try to choose storage containers that are already pre-portioned so I know the portion that I’m pack-
ing,” says Peggy O’Shea Kochenbach, a registered dietitian nutritionist. “Pack nutritious items like fruits, vegetables and nuts in clear containers in the pantry or refrigerator on Sunday, so that they are ready to ‘grab and go’ for the week.” For safety, store items in BPS- and BPA-free reusable containers, such as those from Nalgene Outdoor Products, which offers a line of reusable storage containers that are clear, ranging in size from 4-ounces to 16-ounces and that are also dishwasher safe. 5. Green your clean-up. Parents should seek reusable items that can both sustain kids’ rough and tough daily activities, but also survive the dishwasher. Close label reading shows that many reusable lunch containers suggest “hand washing.” However, items that are dishwasher-safe can keep your household
saner, cleaner and greener. For your family, cleaning is easy-peasy; and for the environment, research shows a good dishwasher saves 3,870 gallons of water over its lifetime and uses less energy than conventional models, which helps reduce air pollution and combat global climate change, according to the ENERGY STAR program.
Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance Contributed Article Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance
Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance may look like other studios in the area. You may think, "Well, they are all the same, I'll just enroll in the one that my child's friends are attending..." But look around and ask questions, because Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance has important distinctions that make it special. It has a MISSION; "Excellence in dance education in a noncompetitive environment since 1973." Ask a school director if they have a
mission statement. If they don't, what exactly is their goal? Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance teaches much more than dance styles (Ballet, Tap, Irish, Jazz, Pom, Lyrical, Contemporary, Pointe, Pre-School), they teach discipline, creativity, problem solving, and a safe structured social environment. They provide outside performance opportunities beyond Spring Recitals, such as dancing at Senior Centers so that the young dancers involved can see real world situations where their craft can inspire happiness in others. Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance is
also friendly to a family budget. There aren't hidden fees or costume costs that arrive unexpectedly. Performance costumes are rented; alterations, pressing, labeling, and cleaning included. Students and Parents can also shop for class uniforms and dance shoes in our DanceWear Boutique; prices are af-
fordable, fittings are done in person (no on line guessing of size) and it is available year-round, open to the public, no searching all over the County for what a class requires. Ask your dancer's possible teacher what they need for class, and Chadwick Bay Academy of Dance probably already has it!

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “A Ghost Story” Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House
The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the unique and critically acclaimed drama “A Ghost Story.” It will be screened on Sat., Aug. 19, and Tues., Aug. 22, at 7:30 p.m.
A singular exploration of legacy, loss, and the essential human longing for meaning and connection, “A Ghost Story” is the tale of a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost (Academy Awardwinner Casey Affleck) who returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara). He finds that in his spectral
state, he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, ”A Ghost Story” is a wholly-unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll. Adam Graham, in the Detroit News, calls the film “an oddly haunting, wholly original trip.” Brian Tallerico, on RogerEbert.com, calls it “a film that I can guarantee you people will revisit and discuss for years to come. It’s daring, strange, and unforgettable.” Brian Truitt, in USA Today, calls it “beautiful and deeply affecting.” David Rooney, in the Hollywood Reporter, calls it “a poetic meditation on time, memory and spiritual connection that is utterly true to its title.” Joe Morgenstern, in the Wall Street Journal, says “there are mysteries here, not the least of them being how such a modest little movie can evoke such profound feelings.” Rated R for brief language and a disturbing
image, “A Ghost Story” runs one hour, 27 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891.
The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

United States Completes Team th Roster for 28 PGA Cup
Contributed Article PGA of America
The United States will be the hunter in search of a trophy as it sends five veterans and five rookies to face Great Britain & Ireland in the 28th PGA Cup, to be conducted Sept. 15-17, at Foxhills Club & Resort in Ottershaw, Surrey, England. The 10-member U.S. Team in the premier international showcase for a PGA Club Professional was determined Saturday morning following the delayed second round of the 99th PGA Championship. The selection process includes a two-year points system that comprises the past two PGA Professional Championships and two PGA Championships. Two players – two-time PGA Professional Champion Matt Dobyns of Glen Head, New York, and Josh Speight of Locust Hill, Virginia – completed the team after final points were determined. They will join the following eight members who secured berths on June 21, at the 50th PGA Professional Championship in Sunriver, Oregon: reigning PGA Professional Champion Omar Uresti of Austin, Texas; 2016 PGA Professional Champion Rich Berberian Jr. of Hooksett, New Hampshire; 2013 PGA Professional Champion Rod Perry of Port Orange, Florida; Jamie Broce of Indianapolis, Indiana; Mark Brown of Oyster Bay, New York; Paul Claxton of Claxton, Georgia; Dave McNabb of Newark, Delaware; and Adam Rainaud of Chester, Connecticut. Broce, Brown, Dobyns, Perry and Uresti have played in a combined six PGA Cups and own a combined 10-10-6 record. They will face a Great Britain & Ireland Team composed of eight rookies and two returnees from the 2015 GB&I Team that defeated the U.S. to a 13½ to 12½ at CordeValle in San Martin, California. Great Britain & Ireland owns a 5-6-2 all-time record at home. “The last two matches have been very close. It’s never easy to win on their soil, much like the Ryder Cup,” said PGA of America President Paul Levy of Indian Wells, California, who will Captain the U.S. Team. “We have a group of veterans and some talented first-timers. Just like any team event in golf, it is a matter of personalities and desires of the players to arrive at partnerships that will help us win. I will continue to work with the players to find whose games complement each other. CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

UNITED STATES COMPLETES TEAM ROSTER FOR 28TH PGA CUP, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 25 ”We know that GB&I will have a very competitive team and we have to play well to have a chance to win. Our players are determined to go over, win and bring that cup home.” Albert MacKenzie, a PGA Professional from Saunton Golf Club in Devon, England, will debut as Captain for Great Britain & Ireland on a layout that his team knows well. Mackenzie was a vice captain in 2015 as GB&I posted its first victory in the United States. “I feel that we are formidable and robust,” said Mackenzie, following the PGA Professional Championship in Ireland. “I could not be

Here's How Ford Cleverly Got the Transit Connect Past Import Taxes Fast forward 50 years, and the Chicken Tax still exists -- and it's largely been responsible for automakers moving pickup production here. If you've ever wondered why all truck-making automakers build their One of my favorite automotive industry stories from trucks in the States, and why Volkswagen doesn't sell the last decade or so is the one about the Ford Transit the Amarok pickup here in America, the Chicken Connect and the Chicken Tax. Today, I'm going to Tax is at least one of the reasons. tell that story, and you're going to read it, because And then, Ford decided they would start building a what else are you going to do? Go back to work? cargo van...in Turkey. I'll start with the Chicken Tax. Way back in the That cargo van was, of course, the Transit Connect, 1960s, a few European countries placed huge tariffs and the first-generation Transit Connect models on American chicken exports, presumably to protect were all built in Turkey. The problem was that even their local chicken industry. In retaliation, America though the Chicken Tax was initially designed to put huge tariffs on several foreign-imported goods protect American automakers and retaliate against that commonly came from Europe, including light foreign production, it was now going to cause a trucks (this was called the "Chicken Tax," even problem for Ford: The vans would be subject to a 25 though it was actually a response to the European tax percent tariff from being made overseas. So Ford had on American chickens). It may seem odd to think of an idea. "light trucks" as "commonly coming from Europe," The idea was this: Since many Transit Connect vans but the tariff included cargo vans -- and at the time, are sold as passenger models rather than cargo modthe Volkswagen Bus was reasonably popular here in els (especially in foreign markets), they would ship the the United States. Transit Connect to the United States in the alreadyContributed Article Autotrader
available passenger configuration -- with rear seats installed -- and then remove the seats once the vans arrived. This got them around the tax, which had only been levied on cargo vans and light trucks; Ford would argue these were technically not cargo vans when they arrived at the port, but rather passenger vans, and this allowed them to bend the rules. Amazingly, this worked for several years -- but federal regulators eventually got hip to the scheme. In early 2013, the U.S. government forced Ford to begin paying the full tariff; Car & Driver reported that a customs director, Myles Harmon, noted in an internal document that "the product as entered is not a commercial reality; it exists only to manipulate the tariff schedule." Ouch. In fairness to Ford, the Transit Connect is also available to consumers in a variety of configurations including what Ford calls a "Passenger Wagon." It has a normal minivan interior and re-configurable seats so, technically speaking, the Transit Connect is more than just a commercial cargo van. The second-generation Transit Connect, which debuted for the 2014 model year, is no longer built in Turkey -- but it's still built overseas (in Spain), meaning Ford likely still pays that tax despite their brilliant plan to avoid it indefinitely. Doug DeMuro is an automotive journalist who has written for many online and magazine publications. He once owned a Nissan Cube and a Ferrari 360 Modena. At the same time.
