TIDBITS® TAKES A WALK DOWN MAIN STREET by Patricia L. Cook There are more than 10,466 miles of streets in the United States named Main Street. Even if the “main” street in a city or town is not called “Main,” it is there – usually the most important street in an area’s history. • Main Streets are all over the world and tell many varied stories The Main Streets at Disney theme parks are based on Walt Disney’s hometown when he was a boy, Marceline, Missouri. Walt wanted to create an area that would bring back memories of childhood in a small town. • San Luis, Arizona’s Main Street is unusual in that it comes to a deadend at the Mexican border. • The Main Street of Melvindale, Michigan runs through a trailer park near The Ford River Rouge automobile plant, which was the largest factory in the world when it was fully operational. The Rouge, which is now a museum, was where the Model A automobile was first produced in 1927. The gigantic facility was Henry Ford’s idea with a factory that would achieve “a continuous, nonstop process from raw material to finished product.” • The Rouge in many ways functioned as a city, without its own Main Street or residents! It had its own railroad with 16 locomotives, a bus network with 15 miles of paved streets, a police force, fire department, and even a fully staffed hospital. In the 1930s, at its peak, more than 100,000 people were employed at The Rouge. turn the page for more!

MAIN STREET (continued): • One of the most famous in Canada is the Main Street in Winnipeg, where it intersects with Portage Avenue, considered the heart of Winnipeg, the center of the country and thereby the heart of Canada. It is also said to be the coldest intersection in Canada! (eh, pretty much an unfair assessment!) • “The Main” in Montreal is actually named Boulevard St-Laurent, also known as St. Lawrence Boulevard. It is considered the symbolic dividing line between the English and French
communities in the city. Designated a National Historic Site in 2002, the street was made famous by the music of Leonard Cohen and books by Mordecai Richler. • Another Canadian Main Street was once listed as the longest road in the world. Yonge Street in Toronto runs from the Lake Ontario shore through Toronto north to become Highway 11 and continue through many country towns and wilderness to Lake Simcoe. • Yonge Street was removed from Guinness list of records in 1998, possibly because of road changes near Barrie,Ontario. The distance for the road is 1,178 miles (1,896 km), which sure seems long enough to be distinctive! A brass plaque is embedded in the sidewalk
EASY MONEY! FAST MONEY! YOUR MONEY!
on Yonge Street near Toronto’s waterfront, across from Dundas Square, that marks distances to key cities of Ontario. The street was named after Sir George Yonge, an expert on Roman roads, by Ontario’s first governor. • Have you heard of the longest Main Street in America? The city limits of Island Park, Idaho follow a 35 mile (56 km) drive on U.S. highway 20 that connects Idaho with West Yellowstone, Montana and Yellowstone National Park. The rural town is only 500-5000 feet wide (152-1524 m) along the highway with fishing lodges, mountain views, the very cold Henry’s Fork (also known as the North Fork of the Snake River), Henry’s Lake as well as Island Park Reservoir. Western hospitality beckons visitors to stop and explore. • Some Main Streets have had many years of decay before being brought back to life by history lovers. One such place is York, Pennsylvania. By 1978 all four of its downtown department stores were shuttered. Through programs provided for re-establishing downtown areas, the town is now thriving and Main Street is a popular destination.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 What happens when we die? Is there life after death? And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into A’bra-ham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth A’bra-ham afar off, and Laz’a-rus in his bosom. Luke 16:22-23. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt 7:13-14. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Harsh Winter Means More Work in Spring Many parts of the country have experienced a bad winter, with snow, ice and below-average temperatures. You might have more to do now than you would during an average spring. How does the outside of your house look? Snow, wind and ice likely have taken their toll on your siding, painted surfaces (like window trim or shutters) and your roof and eaves. Draft up your to-do list as you find battered caulking, broken screens and driveway cracks. And how did your shrubs fare? If you’re on a budget plan, paying monthly for your fuel or electricity, there’s a good chance you got a bad surprise recently when you realized that your monthly payments aren’t going to cover your fuel for the year. Many folks are having to scramble to come up with the cash to pay off the balance before the next budget plan begins, likely in June. Once the fuel company determines your new monthly payment, send extra every month. If next winter is mild and it appears that you’re paying ahead, contact the company in the spring and ask about not making that final payment. If you live in snow country where the roads are plowed and spread with sand and salt, get your vehicle to the car wash as soon as it opens for the season. This is not the time for a do-it-yourself wash with the hand wand at the open-air car wash. You need the drive-through that includes an undercarriage spray wash to get all the salt off the bottom of your vehicle before rust and corrosion set it, as well as cause damage to brakes and fuel lines. Before next winter, have the undercarriage sealed. The same applies if you live near the sea: Overspray and salt in the air can damage your car if left on. Scrub and vacuum your floor mats too. Wash winter coats, gloves and boots now, while it’s easier to get the grime off. Refresh with another wash when winter comes again. If you need to cut back on expenses to cover winter repairs, consider buying only generic store brands for one or two months. You might discover that some of those items are just as good as brand name and thereby cut your bills on a permanent basis. Consider generic for: milk, flour, cleaning products like detergent, children’s cereals, juice, eggs, bread, pain relievers and allergy medicines (compare the ingredients), shampoo and soap. And keep an eye on The Old Farmer’s Almanac for next winter. It predicted this past winter quite accurately. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@ gmail.com.

93 N. Main St.
MAIN STREET (Continued): • Natchitoches, Louisiana, founded in 1714, is the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. The main street in the downtown area faces the Cane River and is named Front Street. This “main” street is kept alive by many small stores with southern charm, tasty restaurants plus a fabulous annual Christmas Festival. It is a destination street to visit. Natchitoches was also given a boost in popularity by the movie, Steel Magnolias, shot on location in 1989. • A famous motorcycle gathering fills up Main Street and the entire city of Sturgis, South Dakota annually. The 74th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will be August 4-10, this year. The first rally was held in 1938 with nine motorcyclists in a race. Now the rally attracts as many as 600,000 motorcycle enthusiasts; but they don’t all race! • The small town of Wallace, Idaho was formed when the silver boom was happening in the surrounding mountains. The main street is actually Bank Street, with impressive old brick buildings harking back to the town’s glory days. With only about 1,000 residents the town hangs on to its roots and entertains travelers along Interstate 90, in the Silver Valley of northern Idaho. • About 11 miles west of Wallace is Kellogg, another small Silver Valley town. The residents approved $8 million in bonds in the late 1980s to build a gondola from Kellogg to the top of Silver Mountain Ski Resort. The 3.1 mile (5 km) gondola ride is North America’s longest and is available for summer adventures on the mountain as well. The ski area was actually owned by the city and its taxpayers for a number of years but is now owned by a private company. In 2008 the company opened Idaho’s largest indoor water park as well, keeping the town on the radar for year round fun. • The entire small town of Eureka Springs in the Ozark Mountains or northern Arkansas is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. South Main Street is included in a loop that can be enjoyed on a drive or trolley ride through the hilly terrain. Like many historic small towns, tourism is the biggest business. • While many towns and cities have Main Streets that thrive because either the city government kept the downtowns alive or private citizens invested time and effort, some have needed help from outside interests. In the U.S., the National Trust for Historic Preservation has a nonprofit subsidiary, the National Main Street Center, Inc., that provides grants and advice to help.

Dog and Cat Shelter Pet of the Week Cammie is a five-year-old shorthaired dilute tortoiseshell. Whenever you go to pet her, she lies on her back and wants her chubby belly rubbed. She can tolerate the other cats, but definitely needs a home with no other pets. It may take a few days for her to get used to a new home, but the wait will be well worth it. She's a sweetie!!!!
Make Dog Training Part of Daily Life DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Kudos on reminding people that they must be actively involved with their dogs if they expect to have good training results. As someone who is “owned” by an independent Siberian Husky, I can attest that nothing in life is free (NILIF)! I have a great system your readers may like. It’s easy and it works. I have two senior dogs now, a German Shepherd, “Ralph,” who was a private rescue, and “Damian,” the Siberian who’s been here all his life. I make both of them sit before they get their meal, and the dish is on the floor. They have to lie down in the morning before they get a “snack” piece of plain toast. My husband and I also make them sit before putting their leashes on to take them for a walk. This has worked great over the years and has been a win-win situation for our whole family. We also have used the crate training method for years. I have a large crate in the kitchen that “Ralph” knows is his den. He sleeps and naps in there, and I trained him to go into it when visitors come to the house or when I’m taking out the trash. It’s turned so that he can see out of it and get a view of all the activity in our home. -- Anita C., Rochester, N.Y. DEAR ANITA: Thank you for passing this along! Working in basic obedience training as part of everyday life is a great way to reinforce that training and encourage positive behavior. While not everyone agrees with crate training, it can be very effective when done correctly. The Humane Society of the United States has crate training tips at www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/ crate_training.html. Send your questions or comments to ask@ pawscorner.com.

ROAD SIGNS The first road signs used were milestones that indicated the distance and directions to destinations. Used as early as the 4th Century, BC, there were approximately 50,000 miles (80,000 km) of roads in the Roman Empire. • The saying “all roads lead to Rome,” was really true in ancient times. Rome was the hub for trade, commerce, culture, politics and military might in all of Europe for many years. • The Forum Romanum, which is the center of the city of Rome, Italy, has the remains of the Milliarium Aureum (column), or the “Golden Milestone.” It was erected in 20 BC by Augustus, first emperor of the Roman Empire, The column was covered with gilt bronze and was the spot whereby all roads pointed out of the city. The names of the principal cities were engraved on the column along with their distances from Rome. • Early road signs in North America were, like those of ancient Rome, mainly for giving the distance from one place to the next. Then as cars became popular in the early 1900s, a need for signs for safety became a high priority. • Early automobile owners were mostly the wealthy who used the auto for convenience and entertainment. They formed clubs and started creating their own signs. Colors, shapes, messages, sizes and placements were not uniform from one area to the next! • As early as 1899, owners of horseless carriages in New York City formed an automobile club when they met at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. They saw the need for signs to guide drivers through the city or to sites of interest within the city. • Several versions of signs were tested during the early years of the proliferation of autos. Standards for the shapes and colors of signs were developed. Round signs were used to warn of railroad crossings; the octagon was used to warn drivers to stop; diamonds were used to alert drivers that caution was needed; rectangular signs were chosen for providing directions and regulatory information. In the beginning signs were all black letters on white backgrounds. • One city known for busy streets, New York City, is where the proposal for adopting universal road signs and traffic symbols started. The proposal was brought by the Deputy Chief Inspector of Police in New York in 1925. • The first historical record of a STOP sign was in 1915, in Detroit, Michigan. Of course, maybe that was because most cars at that time were manufactured in Detroit.

ROAD SIGNS (Continued): • The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD) was first drafted in 1934. Still used today, but of course, updated, it standardized the signs, signals, locations, marking and maintenance for roads and traffic devices. • The octagonal shape of “STOP” signs was first recommended by the Mississippi Valley Association of State Highway Departments in 1923. Now universally used, the red signs are easily recognizable. Originally yellow, the red signs with white letters were not used until the MUTCD revision of 1954. • Many signs are designed with figures instead of just words. This makes them recognizable without knowing the local language. Now, if a kangaroo crossing sign is on the road, you’ll most likely know you’re in a land down-under, not in New York City!
