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. Canada has its share. One of the most famous 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. turn the page for more!

• 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, which sure seems long enough to be distinctive! A brass plaque is embedded in the sidewalk 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. • 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 dead-end 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 1930's, at its peak, more than 100,000 people were employed at The Rouge.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle Faith and Trust Lead to Each Other
Have you ever noticed that when you have faith in something you put your trust in that something? We believe a chair will hold us so we put our trust in it when we sit down. We believe our car will start so we trust the ignition when we turn the key. We believe in the power of light so we put our trust in the light switch as we flip it on. Faith is a springboard for trust Faith allows us to jump and trust allows us to fly. Faith only comes alive when we trust in what we believe. Apart from each other, faith is dead without works and works are dead without faith. If you are struggling in your relationships, it is usually because there is an absence of one or the other or both. I know that my leap of faith into the arms of Christ has allowed me to trust in Him and His Word.

MAIN STREET (continued):
• 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 1980's to build a gondola from Kellogg to the top of Silver Mountain Ski Resort. The 3.1 mile 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.

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 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 1900's, 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. • 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!

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles
Break Out the Steak For years we’ve been told to focus on plant-based proteins (beans, for example) rather than meats and cheeses from animal-based proteins. Now all that may change -depending on our age. Two studies, released within a week of each other, concur: In middle age, a high-protein diet makes us four times more likely to die of cancer, especially animal proteins like cheese, meat and milk, which increases overall deaths. Yet after age 65, an increase in protein is healthy. One study, reported in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, suggests that as we age, we don’t absorb protein like we used to. This lack of protein can lead to a decline in cognitive abilities, as well as how we function in activities of daily living. Researchers studied the diets of over 1,000 seniors with an average age of 67, looking at their intake of plant versus animal protein, and queried them again seven years later. Men with the highest animal protein had a 39 percent lower chance of functional decline. Scientists didn’t see similar results in those who had a majority of plantbased protein in their diets. The other study, in the journal Cell Metabolism, took a closer look at the physics of why protein goes from being bad for us to being good. The growth hormone IGF-I drops off after age 65, and we can become frail with muscle loss without an increase in protein to offset what we’re not processing.

Your best bet: Go to your doctor and ask for a referral to a nutritionist. In the week before you go to your appointment, write down everything you eat to give the nutritionist a baseline of your current food choices. Ask whether, given the two studies, you should make any adjustments in your diet.

On May 1, 2014 we will be celebrating
our 5th year as the 16th Ave Grill. It was 5 years ago that we decided to go it alone and drop our franchise with Country Kitchen. We wanted to be able to offer a broader selection of food items and to have the flexibility to change the menu at any time. And we believe it was a great choice! Mother’s Day, May 11, 2014, we will be featuring a Brunch. We offer all of your breakfast favorites, pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, and cinnamon rolls. Also on the menu will be Sweet and Sour Pork, Chicken Filets, Mini shrimp, rice pilaf, many homemade salads, including our famous Caramel Apple Salad. Cakes, cookies, cream puffs, and many pastries will be available to choose from. And for fun, A NEW CANDY STATION! So be sure and bring Mom out on her special day for our special Brunch. Brunch will be from 8am until 2 pm.
Every Friday we have All You Can Eat Fish Fry. Saturday and Sunday morning Breakfast Buffet Free Wi-fi Extensive menu selection Gluten Free Menu Childrens menu with lots of healthy options Alcohol Free Holiday Brunches And a party room that seats 50 people. We love to have parties, meetings, card players, receptions, and showers. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon. Blane and Joyce Beschta

Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine. Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta
Drywall Repair
Q: I know you’ve covered this many times before, but my two sons were chasing each other and one of them crashed into his bedroom wall and left a big dent and crack in the wallboard! He’s OK, but how do I deal with such a big damaged area? -- Sara in Des Moines
STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● You might be surprised to learn that the bagpipe did not originate in Scotland. This ancient instrument existed in Asia in the pre-Christian era. Those who study such things say that the Emperor Nero was a bagpiper, even performing publicly at Roman athletic events. ● Even cows have best friends, and they will spend most of their time together. ● In a single year, your heart circulates about a million gallons of blood. ● You almost certainly have a Social Security number, but did you ever wonder what the numbers mean? The first three numbers indicate what part of the country you were in when you applied (or when your parents applied for you), the next two numbers are a code indicating the year of your application, and the last four numbers are considered to be your citizen's number.

A: A large area of damage can be a bit daunting, but you can probably replace that section yourself. You’ll need to buy a piece of wallboard that is a few inches bigger on all sides than the damaged area. You’ll also need a utility knife (box cutter), a wallboard saw, a sturdy scrap of plywood or a 1-by-1 board, wood screws, drywall screws, an electric drill, drywall tape, drywall putty (or joint compound) and a putty knife, and fine-grit sandpaper. The wallboard caved in when your son charged into it, meaning the impact probably occurred between two studs. You’ll find this out when you begin to remove the damaged section. Use a pencil and straight ruler to mark a cutting line along the top, sides and, if needed, bottom of the damaged area. Make the area as perfect a square or rectangle as possible, which will make the repair much easier. Using the utility knife, slice along the lines, then follow with the drywall saw to cut all the way through. Be very careful sawing next to the studs, as electrical and plumbing lines sometimes run along these boards. Use the utility knife or angle the saw to slice drywall that’s flush against a stud. Carefully pull away the damaged wallboard. If part of the damaged area is attached to the stud, tug gently on the attached wallboard to reveal the screw, and then either remove the screw or carefully knock out the drywall from underneath it. Measure the new, square hole, and cut the replacement wallboard to those dimensions. Make sure the new drywall fits -- it doesn’t have to be perfectly snug, but should be pretty close. Now, even if part of the new wallboard will be secured to a stud, you’ll still need to add a backing to the unsecured side (or sides) of the patch, especially if it’s a really big hole. The 1-by-1 scrap wood comes into play here. Measure and cut the wood so that it extends an inch or so past the top and bottom of the hole. Place it behind the hole, located about the center of the biggest gap between the studs, and use your electric drill to secure it with a wood screw, top and bottom. With the backing in place, put the new wallboard up with a helper holding it steady. Use drywall or wood screws to attach the wallboard to the backing boards and to the stud (near the original screw location but not at it). Now to cover it up: Place drywall tape along the edges of the new patch. Using a wide putty knife, apply drywall putty or joint compound over the tape, feathering the edges out to better blend with the surrounding wall. Let the compound dry for at least recommended time, then sand the compound smooth. Additional drying time may be needed before you paint over the repair area, and I recommend priming the area first.

HOME TIP: If you don’t want to keep old paint cans around after painting a room, keep the top labels so you can order matching paint from the store if it’s needed later.
NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson
● Yard sale, tag sale, garage sale ... whatever you call it, if you do it right, you can walk away with a de-cluttered home and a nifty bit of cash, too. Here’s my tip: Advertise, advertise, advertise -- on local message boards and websites, as well as using signs. The more people you drive to your sale, the more you are likely to sell. -- JoAnn ● “When you put jewelry out at a garage sale, display it for better results. Use a window screen for paired earrings, or maybe a tie rack for necklaces. I sell a lot of costume stuff in my sales. Kids especially like it.” -- R.G. in Mississippi ● One way to organize a tag sale is to group items in bins by price. Or have a dollar table. If you have lots of clothes, you might price it by the piece and have good price breaks for people who buy lots of pieces. ● “Put well-marked sports equipment in a place that can be viewed by passersby. Make attractive displays of toys and tools as well. People are always looking for these.” -- M.H. in Alabama ● Not sure how to price your items for resale? The rule for yard sales is as follows: For items that are new, still with tags or in original, unopened packaging, price it as 50 percent off retail. For items that are in good working condition, with all parts and accessories, mark them at 30 percent of what you paid. Other items should be marked down to 20 percent. Be honest with yourself. If something is just usable, but not really worth a buck, put it in a “free” bin. Your customers will be grateful, and you might make an additional sale.
