By John Hall for Blue Mountain Town & Country Gazette

This is one of my favorite issues of the year because it is all about vehicles, specifically cars and trucks. When I was a kid I could tell you the type of car coming down the road by the sound of its engine or its horn. Today my ear is also tuned into the sound of a hybrid or electric vehicle coming around the corner. That is why this issue excites me. We are in an automotive age that is disrupted and changing rapidly.

In one of our articles we look at the big question facing many consumers today as they consider purchasing a new vehicle. Whether that vehicle is brand new or slightly used, the question more people are asking is whether or not the time is right to get a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle. Read “The Big Question: Hybrid or Electric?” to find information that could help you make that decision as well.

Now, if you’re a NASCAR fan, you won’t want to miss “NASCAR: Cars and Stars” for some of the latest information on NASCAR’s current season – its 75th. You’ll find out about new rules and regulations, new venues, new drivers and more. Some NASCAR races are now going to take place

The Big Question: Hybrid or Electric?

Source: Various

The automotive and truck age we are living in has had significant disruption over the past few years, presenting us with new decisions to be made – particularly when considering the purchase of a brand-new vehicle. The biggest question most consumers are facing is: Hybrid or Electric?

The Hybrids

Hybrid vehicles have been around a full 25 years. The first mass-produced hybrid vehicle was the Toyota Prius, launched in Japan in 1997.

Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors, which use energy stored in batteries. A hybrid electric vehicle does not get plugged in, but is charged through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine.

The battery can also power auxiliary loads and reduce engine idling when stopped, resulting in better fuel economy without sacrificing performance. Due to the complex nature of their powertrain and advanced technology, hybrid

prices are typically higher than comparable gasoline-powered vehicles.

Electric Vehicles: Is it time to buy?

If you want to get an electric vehicle (EV), the question is, should you buy now, or wait? There’s no right answer to that question. The decision boils down to a few other questions, specifically: How much can you spend? Will you buy new, used or lease? What type of vehicle do you need and do you (or your EV) qualify for federal incentives?

EV pricing, generally well above the industry average, has been declining. New federal incentives could lower EV pricing even more. EV prices are

Hybrid or Electric?

Continued from page 9

also coming down due to competition: Dozens of new EV models are expected in showrooms over the next two years.

Lowering Initial EV Cost

Experts feel the next decade will be America’s “golden age” for electrified vehicles. That’s thanks largely to the Inflation Reduction Act, which offers buyers of eligible EVs either a full ($7,500) or partial ($3,750) tax credit based on certain specifics of the vehicle.

You can also lower your EV costs by leasing. All leased EVs quality for the full $7,500 tax credit because the auto dealer holds the title and can

then, as a commercial entity, claim it and pass it along to you. If you are eager to start driving an EV and saving on fuel costs, leasing could be the best option for you.

Purchasing Used

You can also purchase an EV that is used. It is a much less expensive way to get into an EV and there are still tax credits of up to $4,000 to take advantage of. If you reach all the way back to an early version of the Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus electric hatchback, or Fiat 500e it is even more affordable. Those can be found for $5,000 to $9,000, but the thing to know is that the battery range could have degraded to just 50 miles or less per charge. This is an option if you’re looking for a low-mileage city car.

If you have a long commute or you’re driving a 30-year-old gas guzzler, a hybrid or EV could certainly be your next vehicle. Either will lower your costs in the long term.

NASCAR: Cars and Stars

Source: us.motorsport.com

NASCAR is celebrating its 75th season – the second year of the NASCAR Cup’s Next Gen era – with big news around its cars and stars. In 2023, NASCAR is featuring a series-first street course, wet tires on short ovals, a returning seventime champion, a retirement tour for a Daytona 500 winner and former champ, as well as big driver moves and the arrival of two red-hot rookies. Here are some of the ways NASCAR is getting wild for its 75th season in 2023.

1. New rules and regulations

NASCAR will be racing on wet ovals. It seems unthinkable, but so did racing on dirt and street tracks until very recently. Series officials have approved the use of specially designed wet tires for “limited use” on several of the shorter ovals, including Phoenix, which hosts the series finale. The package will include windshield wipers, rain lights and mud flaps, but NASCAR has made it clear that it will not race in full-blown rain, but

more likely in light drizzle, damp or drying conditions.

2. Chicago Street Course

Continuing with its trend of new venues, NASCAR this season has just conducted the first street-course race in its 75-year history. On July 2, the Cup Series ran on a 2.2-mile, 12-turn course in downtown Chicago. The street-course race, combined with the pre-season Busch Light Clash held on a custom-built quarter-mile oval inside the LA Coliseum for the second consecutive season, opens the door to potential new venues for future Cup Series schedules.

3. Stars Coming and Going

Two huge NASCAR Cup stars with eight Cup titles between them have provided major headlines recently: Jimmie Johnson is returning to NASCAR competition, just as Kevin Harvick prepares to exit.

Johnson will contest a part-time campaign after joining the team ownership of Legacy Motor Club, the new name for the Petty GMS Motorsport operation. His first outing this year was at the Daytona 500, which was his 20th appearance in NASCAR’s biggest race. He has won that race two times in the past.

Harvick will make his full-time exit at the end of 2023. He will end his career with over 800 starts and with 60 Cup victories. Harvick is on the top10 all-time winners list.

4. NASCAR goes to Le Mans

NASCAR made its return to the Le Mans 24 Hours this season after a nearly 50-year absence. In June, a modified version of the Cup Series’ Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 race car competed in the famous enduro as the Garage 56 entry, which the Automobile Club de l’Ouest sets aside each year for the “technology of tomorrow and beyond” in innovative machinery. NASCAR founder Bill France Sr, first took NASCAR to the French classic in 1976.

5. The Rookie Class

The NASCAR Cup Series’ 2023 rookie class is a small one, but it has the potential to produce some surprise results. Going toe-to-toe for rookie honors will be current Xfinity Series champion Ty Gibbs, competing for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Noah Gragson, an eight-time winner in Xfinity in 2022, driving for the rebranded Legacy Motor Club. Both drivers have showcased plenty of talent in NASCAR competition and are matched with organizations where they should be able to compete for wins. So keep your eyes on the NASCAR 2023 season – there is a lot to see.

The Quirky Things on Older Cars

By John Hall for Blue Mountain Town & Country Gazette

We are certainly amazed by the advances in the cars and trucks we’re seeing on the roads today. In many cases there are dramatic new stylings, and in almost all cases there are new technologies that make the driving – or has it become the “piloting” – of today’s vehicles a whole new operational experience.

But what were some of the innovations in cars 50, 60 and even 70 years ago that thrilled and caught the eyes of consumers at that time? Here are just a few of the things we discovered:

The Pushbutton Transmission:

The pushbutton transmission was a bit of “mid-century” design that first appeared in the Chrysler line in 1954. Normally, the gear buttons to push were in a very definitively designed space on the dash. In certain Mercury, Lincoln and Edsel products however, from Ford Motor Company, the gearshift buttons were at the center of the steering wheel.

Ashtrays and Lighters:

Smoking in cars was very common way back when. To address that, manufacturers included ashtrays and lighters in their interior designs. The lighter was often on the dashboard with a pull-out ashtray below. But in some cases the two were packaged

together as part of the armrest on a car door.

The Wing “Vent” Window:

Wing “vent” windows actually came along in the 1930s, but were actively in use for decades. Most cars during the era of the vent window did not have air conditioning, so the little window was an inexpensive way to direct outside air into the passenger compartment and create a cooling breeze.

Riding in the Back of a Station

Wagon: If you remember the big, old, American station wagon, you might remember riding way in the back of it. Those old, American station wagons were generally big vehicles. In many, the cargo area floor could be flipped up to reveal a third, or maybe even a third and fourth bench seat.

If there was only one, it most likely faced the back of the vehicle. If there were two, they would each face the center of the vehicle. Legroom in either setup was definitely designed for the younger members of the family and you climbed in and out through the open tailgate.

Other Differences

There are many other differences between today’s vehicles and those in the past. In the older vehicles you would turn your high beams on by using your left foot to push a special button on the floor. And of course seatbelts were not required in cars until a law was passed in 1972 making them mandatory.

Perhaps the most unusual and quirkiest feature found in an older vehicle was found in the 1959 Volkswagen Beetle or “Bug” as it was commonly known. That model featured a dash-mounted coffee maker, with an actual coffee cup held in place magnetically. At the time it was considered the height of in-vehicle luxury.

Don’t Drive Distracted

SOURCE: penndot.pa.gov (edited)

Anything that causes you to take your attention away from driving, take your eyes off of the road or take your hands off of the wheel is a distraction. Distractions while driving are everywhere and can cost lives. Don’t Drive Distracted!

Pennsylvania's Texting-While-Driving Ban

Here in Pennsylvania, there is a texting-whiledriving ban. The law prohibits as a primary offense any driver from using an Interactive Wireless Communication Device (IWCD) to send, read or write a text-based communication while his or her vehicle is in motion.

The law defines an IWCD as a wireless phone, personal digital assistant, smartphone, portable or mobile computer or similar devices that can be used for texting, instant messaging, emailing or browsing the Internet.

A text-based communication is defined as a text message, instant message, email or other written

communication composed or received on an IWCD.

Fine and Convictions

The texting-while-driving ban institutes a $50 fine for convictions under this section. It also makes clear that this law supersedes and preempts any local ordinances restricting the use of interactive wireless devices by drivers.

The full penalty is a summary offense with a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees. The violation carries no points as a penalty and will not be recorded on the driver record for noncommercial drivers. It will be recorded on commercial drivers' records as a non-sanction violation.

The texting ban does NOT include the use of a GPS device, a system or device that is physically or electronically integrated into the vehicle, or a communications device that is affixed to a mass transit vehicle, bus or school bus. The law does

not authorize the seizure of an IWCD.

Actions Impacting Reaction Times

The following categories of activity done while driving are additional activities that will impact your reaction times negatively:

• Eating, drinking and smoking. These all create safety problems because they often require you to take your hands off of the wheel and take your eyes off of the road. Drivers who eat or drink while driving have trouble controlling their vehicle, staying in their lane and have to brake more often.

• Adjusting the radio, cassette or CD player.

• Talking, texting or emailing on a cellphone or smartphone.

• Interacting with other passengers. This is particularly a problem for novice or teenage drivers. If you are a teen driver with other teens as passengers, statistics show you are more likely to have a crash than if you are driving alone or are driving with adult passengers.

• Searching for or moving an object in the vehicle.

• Reading or writing.

• Personal grooming (combing hair, applying makeup).

• Rubbernecking when passing a crash scene or a work zone.

• Looking at people, objects or events happening off of the roadway.

"Faces of Distracted Driving"

There is an online photo series called “Faces of Distracted Driving” that explores the tragic consequences of texting and cell phone use behind the wheel by sharing the stories of people from across the country who have been injured or lost loved ones in distracted driving crashes.

DIY Car Detailing – Why do it?

Source: Various

Why should I detail my car? That is a question many people ask. The deeper question might be why is it important to detail my car? Is it so much better than just a “normal” car-washing and interior vacuuming? It is.

Deep-cleaning and Protection

If your car really means something to you as an investment for trouble-free, everyday driving or because it’s that dream model you’ve always wanted in your garage, then detailing has real value. Of course you can pay a nice price to have your car professionally detailed and you may want to do that if you don’t have the time or place to do it yourself, or want it done professionally to the highest level. This article however, is about DIY detailing. Really protecting your vehicle inside and out from the elements of nature, not to mention spilled sodas and dog hair in the backseat, is what detailing is about. A good exterior detailing will protect your vehicle from UV rays, road salt and grime, as well as natural toxins like bird droppings and tree sap.

Detailing is an exercise in deep-cleaning and protection and it is something you can learn to do yourself.

Here are links to two “how to detail your car” websites that could be helpful for you:

• A simple car detailing checklist from “doityourself. com”: www.doityourself.com/stry/diy-cardetailing-checklist

• A much more extensive detailing checklist and

well on warm surfaces. When you complete this work in direct sunlight, those products will cure more quickly, harden, and are likely to become more of a hindrance than help.

#2 – Always use different microfiber cloths for different areas of detailing / Always avoid cross contamination in your detailing process. You can easily do that by using dedicated color-coded microfiber cloths for each area (surface type) of your car’s interior and exterior detailing.

#3 – Wash from top to bottom / When washing your vehicle, it’s always best to work in small sections, and always from top to bottom. This way you can make sure dirt and debris travel down the vehicle and onto the ground, rather than over an area already detailed.

#4 – Set aside plenty of time / A major mistake

in detailing is trying to rush the detailing job. Always make sure to give yourself plenty of time to finish everything on the same day. With experience, you’ll develop a detailing process that works perfectly for you.

#5 – Don’t be afraid to use better protectant products / Arguably the biggest pain with car detailing is the time-consuming process of applying protectants. Whether car wax, spray-on coatings, leather conditioners or specific treatments for plastic trim, these supplies cost extra money and take more time to complete. Considering your investment of time, it can make sense to spend a little bit more to use higher quality protectant products.

Macht hoch die Daere

Lift the doors high (Make high the doors)

In the early 17th century a Lutheran pastor, Georg Weissel, wrote a German hymn, entitled, “Lift high the doors.“ I will follow that here with a Dutch translation, an English translation and finally a hymn in English from Catherine Winkworth (a metrical translation).

Die Hoch-deitsch: Macht hoch die Tuer

1. Macht hoch die Tuer, die Tor‘ macht weit; Es kommt der Herr der Herrlichkeit, Ein König aller Koenigreich, Ein Heiland aller Welt zugleich, Der Heil und Leben mit sich bringt; Derhalben jauchzt, mit Freuden singt: Gelobet sei mein Gott, Mein Schoepfer, reich von Rat.

2. Er ist gerecht, ein Helfer wert; Sanftmuetigkeit ist sein Gefaehrt, Sein Koenigskron ist Heiligkeit, Sein Zepter ist Barmherzigkeit; All unsre Not zum End er bringt, Derhalben jauchzt, mit Freuden singt: Gelobet sei mein Gott, Mein Heiland gross von Tat.

3. O wohl dem Land, o wohl der Stadt, So diesen Koenig bei sich hat! Wohl allen Herzen insgemein, Da dieser Koenig ziehet ein! Er ist die rechte Freudensonn‘, Bringt mit sich lauter Freud und Wonn‘. Gelobet sei mein Gott, Mein Troester frueh und spat.

4. Macht hoch die Tuer, die Tor‘ macht weit, Eur Herz zum Tempel zubereit; Die Zweiglein der Gottseligkeit

Steckt auf mit Andacht, Lust und Freud. So kommt der Koenig auch zu euch, Ja Heil und Leben mit zugleich. Gelobet sei mein Gott, Voll Rat, voll Tat, voll Gnad.

5. Komm, o mein Heiland Jesu Christ, Meins Herzens Tuer dir offen ist. Ach zieh mit deiner Gnaden ein; Dein Freundlichkeit auch uns erschein. Dein Heil‘ger Geist uns fuehr und leit Den Weg zur ew‘gen Seligkeit. Dem Namen dein, o Herr, Sei ewig Preis und Ehr.

- Georg Weissel (First published in 1642, seven years after his death.)

Unser Deitsch: Macht hoch die Daere

1. Macht hoch die Daer’, die Dor’ macht weit; Es kommt der Herr vun Hallichkeit, En Keenich vun alle Keenichreich, En Heiland vun ganz Welt zugleich, Der Heil un Lewe mit sich bringt. Dewege yautzt, mit Freide singt; Gelobet sei mei Gott, Mei Schepfer, gross mit Rot.

2. Er iss gerecht, en Helfer waert; Sanftmiedichkeet iss sei Fuhrwaer’ck, Sei Keenich-kron iss Heilichkeet, Sei Septer iss Barmhatzichkeet;

All unsre Not zum End er bringt, Deswege yautzt, mit Freide singt! Gelobet sei mei Gott, Mei Heiland gross in Daat.

3 Oh wohl es Land, oh wohl die Schtadt, As seller Keenich bei sich hot! Wohl alle Hatzer insgemein As seller Keenich ziehet nei! Er iss die rechde Freide-sunn, Bringt mit sich lauter Freid’ un Wonn’. Gelobet sei mei Gott, Mei Par’klet, frieh un schpot.

4. Macht hoch die Daer’, die Dor’ macht weit; Ei’r Hatz’ zum Tempel vorbereidt, Die Bilder vun Gottselichkeit Grickt aa mit Gebet, Luscht un Freid’. Dann kummt der Keenich aa zu eich, Ya, Heil un Lewe mit zugleich. Gelobet sei mei Gott, Voll Rot, voll Daat, voll Gnaad.

5. Kumm, oh mei Heiland, Yesus Grischt’, Die Daer vun mei Herz uff iss. Ach, zieh mit deinre Graade nei; Dei Freindlichkeet aa uns erschein(t). Dei Heil’cher Geischt uns fiehr un weis Der Weg zu ew’cher Selichkeit. Zu deim Naame, oh Herr, Sei ewich Preis un Ehr!

Englisch Iwwersetzing (Non-metrical)

1. Lift high the doors, the gates, open wide; the Lord of glory comes, a King of all kingdoms, a Savior over all the world all at once, who brings with him salvation and life. Wherefore shout, sing with joy: praised be my God, my Creator, rich of counsel.

2. He is just, an esteemed helper; meekness is his carriage, his royal crown is holiness, his scepter is mercy; all our suffering he brings to an end. Wherefore shout, sing with joy! Praised be my God, my Savior, great in deed.

3. O happy the land, o happy the city, when it has this King with it! Happy all hearts in that domain there this King enters in. He is the real joy-light; he brings with him nothing but joy and delight. Praised be my God, my Advocate, at all times.

4. Lift high the doors; the gates, open wide, your heart(s) prepared for the temple; the “images” of godliness put on with prayer, delight and joy. So, the King comes to you, yes, with salvation and life at the same time. Praised be my God, full of council, complete in deed and full of mercy.

5. Come, O my Savior Jesus Christ, my heart’s door is open to you. Oh, enter in with thy mercy; your kindness also is manifested to us. Your Holy Spirit, lead and guide us the way to everlasting happiness. To thy name, O Lord, be praise and honor eternally!

What Do the Recently Released U.S. Coast Guard Safety Stats Tell Boaters About How to Spend the Summer on the Water?

Lakes, launch ramps and harbors will again be crowded on the boating season’s traditional peak summer period. As the number of boats, personal watercraft and paddlecraft goes up, boaters should no look further than recently released annual U.S. Coast Guard statistics for some lessons on how to keep everyone aboard safe during this busy time of the year, especially for on-water fireworks shows.

According to data from the recently released 2022 Recreational Boating Statistics, the top five primary contributing factors in boating accidents last year were operator inattention, operator inexperience, improper lookout, excessive speed and machinery failure.

“Nearly all of these factors will come into play

on the water around Independence Day and the rest of summer, and especially on the evenings with fireworks shows when boaters congregate to view them,” said Chris Edmonston, BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water president.

A long day on the water means stressors such sun, wind and wave action degrade a boat operator’s ability, and adding alcohol to the mix only makes the situation worse. It’s much better to celebrate and imbibe when you are at the dock or safely ashore.

Because everyone wants to see the show, overloading is also a real issue this time of year. Small vessels are prone to swamping in the wake action that follows the close of a show. Weight and balance should be top of mind for small boat operators.

Paddlecraft will also add to the on-water congestion this time of year. Paddlers may not have the full set of safety skills and may not be easy to see, or they might be paddling on highly trafficked waters, so keep an eye out for them.

Wherefore rejoice and gladly sing: We praise Thee, Father, now, Creator, wise art Thou!

2. A Helper just He comes to thee, His chariot is humility, His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings; Wherefore the earth is glad and sings: We praise Thee, Savior, now, Mighty in deed art Thou!

3. O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confessed! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss. We praise Thee, Spirit, now, Our Comforter art Thou!

4. Fling wide the portals of your heart; Make it a temple set apart

From earthly use for Heaven's employ, Adorned with prayer and love and joy. So shall your Sovereign enter in And new and nobler life begin. To Thee, O God, be praise For word and deed and grace!

5. Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me Thy inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in me reveal; Thy Holy Spirit guide us on Until our glorious goal is won.

Eternal praise and fame

We offer to Thy name.

- Catherine Winkworth (In 1855 publication)

[In the Dutch translation, some German words were retained to keep the meter. Their meaning

can be seen in the non-metrical translation of the German. Also note: In the German I did not use a vowel with an umlaut; rather I represented them as that vowel followed by the vowel “e,” (ü is ue, for example).]

[Georg Weissel (1590-1635) He studied at the University of Königsberg, and later at several other universities. He was first a rector of a school but later returned to Königsberg to resume his studies in theology. Finally, in 1623, he became pastor of the newly erected Altrossgart Lutheran Church at Königsberg, where he remained till his death in 1635.

Weissel was one of the most important of the earlier hymn-writers of Prussia. His hymns, about 20 in all, are good in style, moderate in length, and varied in meter.

Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) is well known for her English translations of German hymns; her translations were polished and yet remained close to the original. Educated initially by her mother, she lived with relatives in Dresden, Germany, in 1845, where she acquired her knowledge of German and interest in German hymnody. Also a pioneer in promoting women's rights, Winkworth put much of her energy into the encouragement of higher education for women.

LaRose Skating Rink

When submitting photos that our father, William “Becky” Beck had taken years ago, we try our best to have the correct information identifying the people in each photograph. In the last issue, we incorrectly identified the founders of the LaRose Roller Skating Rink in Lehighton. The names of the couple in the photo were the founders, John and Sallie LaRose. The photo was believed to have been taken in 1941/42 because of the Coca Cola logo painted on the building. Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.

Over the winter months, Becky’s Drive-In upgraded the light source on both of their projectors from xenon bulbs to laser light engines. The colors are now much truer, and the overall picture is significantly brighter! This also reduces their power consumption by one half.

They found that dark scenes in movies now have more clarity. They are really excited for their patrons to see how beautiful the picture looks now!
