The Kiwanis Club of Tempe What We Do

T

he Kiwanis Club of Tempe was founded in 1952, the year it begin running the Tempe 4th of July fireworks show. Over the years, Kiwanis has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially in Christmas tree sales, over the last 40 years, generating money to make a major donation to the City of Tempe to develop Tempe’s premier city park, Kiwanis Park on Baseline Road.

KCOT’s fundraising potency has allowed Kiwanis to make grants and donations to hundreds of organizations and for special emergency causes, scholarships and permanent community projects and many youth programs such as the “Children’s Charity Fund.” It sponsors the Tempe High School Key Club and the Arizona State University Circle K Club, two Kiwanis Sponsored Youth programs that encourage service projects and leadership development.

The Kiwanis Club of Tempe’s primary focus is service to the community’s children through various programs. One of these programs, which was guided by Robert Kizere, was Carol Balks inspirational program, Read to Exceed. The program encourages reading and book ownership for preschool children enrolled in the Headstart Programs in Tempe. This past academic year, Penny Pease and Sharon Kausal assisted Robert in packaging books for the reading sessions and

scheduling volunteers.

Headstart in Tempe operates out of three locations: Tempe Westside Multi Gen Center, Curry and Tempe North Multi Gen Center. Each facility has a morning and an afternoon class with approximately 17-20 students in each class. In addition to donating books to the children, books were also donated to the classroom for teacher use. Often the readers brought additional donation books to supplement the curriculum as well. The readers were members of KCOT, as well as members from the Tempe business community. Because many of the children are Spanish speakers, often the readers read their books in both Spanish and English to promote better comprehension. KCOT readers included: Lawn Griffiths, Sharon Kausal, Judy Aldrich, Penny Pease, Mike Cryer, Vic Cordts, Rob Kubasko, Linda Spears, Shawn Ward, C.K Liu, Lance Gray, Curt Ritland, Marcie Greenburg, Corey Woods and Linda Wegener.

KCOT’s book donation to the community for this literacy program was approximately 1,440 new books from Scholastic Book publishing at 60 sessions. This is just one of the many community service programs Kiwanis members participate in, a complete list is included on the facing page.

George Washington, is known, with great reason, as “The Father of Our Country.”

He served not only as the first president of the United States, from 1789 to 1797, but also as the Commander of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783.

His strategies and victories during the Revolutionary War are seen as some of the most significant of the time. He forced the British out of Boston and scored a major surprise win when he crossed the Delaware River on Christmas evening 1776 to capture 1,000 Hessians in Trenton, New Jersey.

After the war, Washington was elected unanimously by the electoral college to serve as President of the United States.

He served a second term as president; but refused to serve a third, setting the stage for a two-term limit on US presidencies, a custom made law by the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution.

His farewell address, issued as a public letter in 1796, is considered one of the most important political documents of the nation’s early history, spelling out the importance of national unity and the law set forth by the Constitution.

The Statue of Liberty The people of France gave the Statue to the people of the United States over 100 years ago in recognition of a friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the years, the meanings of the Statue have grown until she has become an international icon of freedom and liberty, the most recognizable symbol of democracy in the world.

The idea of the Statue originated around 1865 with Edouard de Laboulaye who saw the United States as a country that had proved that democracy was a viable type of government. De Laboulaye also saw the gift as a way to reflect his wish for a democracy in France. Artist Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, who was known for large-scale work, was commissioned to design this sculpture. Nothing happened for some time, but in 1874 Bartholdi came to the United States and, as he sailed into the New York Harbor, realized it would be a perfect location.

Bartholdi used a technique called repousse to create her copper skin – hammering out each piece of copper until it was only 3/32 of an inch thick. Bartholdi recruited French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel to build a skeleton for his statue. Eiffel designed a massive iron pylon and secondary skeletal framework that allows the Statue’s copper skin to move independently, yet stand upright.

The Statue was completed in France in July of 1884, then disassembled and shipped to the United States. She arrived in New York in June 1885. Once the pedestal was finished, the statue was re-assembled in four months. On October 28, 1886 the dedication of the Statue of Liberty took place in front of thousands of spectators.

No Big Deal/ Rock n’ Roll High School 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Rock n’ Roll High School provides the East Valley’s young musicians with opportunities to meet, practice and perform.

Rock n’ Roll High School is partnered with Drum Lessons Arizona, Rock Along Productions and local area businesses to provide young people with the facilities and professional guidance in an educational and safe environment.

At Rock n’ Roll High School, leaders strive to give kids ages 8 to 18 an opportunity outside of private lessons to play music together in a friendly, safe and productive environment. They instruct kids both individually and as a group on their chosen instruments, with the goal of helping students develop ear training, write songs and “rock out” together as a band.

Beyond that, Rock n’ Roll High School strives to foster the kind of confidence in kids that inspires them to make positive choices, build strong creative expression and seek collaborative relationships.

Sadly, public schools lack the programming to accommodate the most modern music studies. Concert band classes do not include guitar, bass and drum set opportunities. Jazz band is often not available, or is of a size to only accommodate one or two players on given instruments.

Rock n’ Roll High School is concerned with development outside of private lessons and unorganized settings. We feel these are

22 CBS5 Tempe Town Lake Festival Produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe

the times, outside of that half hour lesson, where students can truly begin to express themselves, work with a group, and reap the benefits of performing.

Rock n’ Roll High School offers kids group band instruction along with many opportunities to jam together informally and formally in a public setting.

American History 101 The Continental Congress passed the Flag Act on June 14, 1777 stating, “That the flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.” That’s the reason Flag Day is held every year on June 14.

Like a fine wine, the band Roxster plays classic arena rock songs that have been perfected by time. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, the band was founded by guitarist Jack “Jaxxon” Schwarz in 2004. The Roxster sound is the result of the band’s determination to perform the music they love the way they know it was meant to be played. The band showcases an incredible blend of vocal and musical virtuosity, a product of the five members’ combined years of musical experience.

Roxster is faithfully re-creating the glory days of arena rock in the ’70s and ’80s. If you were there and miss those days, you don’t want to miss this show! And if you weren’t there, then you are going to want to see what you missed! The band performs all of your favorites – Journey, Van Halen, AC/DC, Queen, Whitesnake and so much more Roxster is: James, lead vocals: A skilled entertainer and the lead vocalist for the band, James has been singing and performing for most of his life. Born in Klamath Falls, Oregon, he started his music career at a very young age, performing the national anthem at spring training games for the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres, and winning numerous vocal awards.

Jaxxon, guitar and vocals: At a very young age, Jaxxon emigrated with his family from the Netherlands to the USA.

24 CBS5 Tempe Town Lake Festival Produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe

He started his music business career in his teens touring throughout Southern California. His performance experience includes clubs and halls spread up and down the West Coast. Aside from his sturdy musicianship, he has been heavily involved in several other facets of the music business, including tour management and instrument manufacturing.

George, guitar, keyboards, and vocals: Originally from upstate New York, George started his professional playing career in bands in 1974, performing as the principal singer/songwriter with bands from New York, Los Angeles and Arizona. George has shared the stage with top acts like Boston, Loverboy, Night Ranger, Foghat, Paul Rodgers, Montrose, the Romantics and so many more.

Mark, bass guitar and vocals: Born in Dallas, the home of the Texas blues, Mark brings the groove and drive to the band’s rhythm section. He brings with him an extensive background in guitar, including a degree in guitar luthiery. He has honed his bass guitar skills, drawing from guitar influences like Eric Johnson and bass influences like Geddy Lee. Mike, drums: Laying down the foundation for the band’s driving sound, Mike plays with taste and dynamics. He spent his early career playing drums for numerous bands in the Catskill hotel scene, as well as traveling the East Coast club circuit.

Attractions Founding Fathers

Casey Lee Smith Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826 Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and the primary author of U.S. Constitution.

He is considered to be among the primary supporters of the concept of republicanism – the idea that individual citizens have liberties and rights – and, as a result, is considered to be among the most influential people in the shaping of American political and legal philosophy.

Besides his work in early U.S. politics, Jefferson was also a noted diplomat, architect and horticulturist. He also founded the University of Virginia. As president, he oversaw the Louisiana Purchase, completed in 1803. The buy, which cost the US about $15 million in cash and debt cancellations, doubled the size of the U.S. at the time and today still accounts for 23 percent of U.S. territory.

6:15 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Singer, songwriter and musician Casey Lee Smith was born and raised in Glendale, Arizona. Casey, 18, is the middle son of Tammy and Ron Smith. Since an early age, Casey has been singing and playing instruments, from the guitar and piano to drums and banjo.

He has the honor of being grand prize winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for the Inspiration/Gospel category.

His song “Never Stood Taller” is now up for the Maxell Song of the Year award. He also has another song, “Losing You” that was a top three finalist for in the country category. He co-wrote that song with Grammy Nominated Guitarist Bryan Austin.

“Casey has all the ingredients of being a major force in Nashville. He sings great, writes great songs and plays a mean guitar. A true artist, even at such a young age,” Austin said.

Smith will release a new CD this month titled, This Is So Me. The songs were written

by Smith and Austin and were produced and recorded by Austin and Hayden Nichols (Clint Black’s band and co-writer) at the Black River Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, in November. His first EP, Casey Lee Smith, was

28 CBS5 Tempe Town Lake Festival Produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe

produced and recorded by Deborah Gibson, Gavin MacKillop (Miley Cyrus, The Goo Goo Dolls) and platinum award-winning mixer and producer Rudy Haeusermann. Smith wrote and played guitar on all his songs on both EPs. Austin, who also sings backing vocals with Gibson, joined him on guitar.

Symbols of Freedom

The Liberty Bell Cast in London, England, in 1752, the Liberty Bell rang when the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence and has become the symbol of freedom in the United States. The bell weighs about 2,000 pounds and is made mostly of copper (70 percent) and tin (25 percent).

Made for the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall), the Liberty Bell was ordered by the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1751 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn’s 1701 Charter of Privileges. Shortly after its arrival in Philadelphia the Bell cracked. Local craftsmen recast the bell using the metal from the old bell, but this one also proved defective. A third was cast by John Pass and John Stowe. Their names appear on the bell, along with the city and date, along with this inscription: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof – Lev. XXV, v. x. By order of the Assembly of the Province of Pensylvania [sic] for the State House in Philad.”

On June 7, 1753, the bell was hung in the tower of Independence Hall; however, during the American Revolution, in 1777, British troops captured Philadelphia. For safekeeping, the bell was moved to Zion’s Reformed Church in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It was returned to Philadelphia in 1778.

As tradition, the bell was rung on every July 4th and on every state occasion until 1846. Not everyone agrees on when the first crack appeared on the Liberty Bell, but by 1846 a thin crack began to affect the sound of the bell. It was repaired so the bell could be tolled for Washington’s birthday on February 23, 1846. In order to repair the bell, a slot was carved along the length of the crack that prevented the two sides of the bell from vibrating against each other. Two rivets were inserted in this slot to control the vibration of the two sides and restored the bell’s tonal quality.

Today, the Liberty Bell hangs in Philadelphia at the Liberty Bell Pavilion on Market Street for all to see and is still gently rung each July 4th.

POW/MIA/KIA Honor Guard Bugle and Presentation of Colors 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

David Carrasco started the Honor Guard in September 2008. Though the group had just five members, it held the first ever “Beirut Remembrance Day Ceremony” on October 23, 2008. Carrasco is proud to say that this group is still the only veterans organization within the State of Arizona to have held such a ceremony.

They will do it a third time this October.

The Honor Guard supported the Buffalo Soldiers in their drive to exhume the remains of Isaiah Mays (he himself a Buffalo Soldier and the Recipient of The Medal Of Honor) who died in 1925 and was buried in a pauper’s grave at the State Mental Hospital located on Van Buren and 24th Street. He was laid to rest with full military honors at Arlington, Virginia.

The organization also donated the flags that once flew over the Ira Hayes Memorial in Sacaton to the Veterans Home on Seventh Street and Indian School. They are on permanent display on the second floor in the group’s name.

30 CBS5 Tempe Town Lake Festival Produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe

In 2008, the Honor Guard won first place in the Veterans Day Parade and second place in 2009. The group has also appeared in a musical video along with the musical group “CTS.” The video was taken on top of the Radisson Hotel in downtown Phoenix.

On July 9, the Honor Guard will travel to California in support of “The Vietnam Memorial” ceremony being held in Westminster. They are supporting the Vietnamese Veterans and their families. To Carrasco’s knowledge, they will be the first out-of-state veteran organization to support them.

The Honor Guard consists of former veterans (Air Force, Army, Marine and Navy) who have served in Vietnam, Desert Storm, Desert Shield, the Gulf and Afghanistan, in addition to Somalia and Panama.

Proudly, they have all served our country with honor and pride and they continue the fight to support our men and women in uniform and remind everyone never to forget those who served ahead of us.

THE STRENGTH TO HEAL our Soldiers’ deepest wounds.

The pride you’ll feel in being a doctor increases dramatically when you care for our Soldiers and their Families. Courage is contagious.

Star Spangled Banner Performed by Star Spangled Idol winners Maycee and Sierra Ruiz 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

It seems that the Ruiz sisters were natural born singers. Growing up in Anthem, they created their own YouTube web show and would sing around the house to their favorite songs – ones by Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Christina Aguilera top the list at the moment – but they never really considered the possibility that they were good.

“We just sang,” Sierra, 14, says.

Just singing, however, got them more than just a couple hits on their internet web show last weekend, when they were both crowned winners of the Star Spangled Idol contest.

Sierra, and Maycee, 12, beat out 11 other finalists on June 26 for the opportunity to sing in front of the 50,000 attendees at this year’s July 4th Tempe Town Lake Festival. The 11 finalists were chosen from scores of Valley residents who came out to perform the week prior in the preliminary round.

Winning doesn’t make the girls nervous one bit, according to their mom, Darcie.

“I think they get some butterflies, but they always say the moment they start to sing, it gets better,” she says. “And they say it’s easier for them to sing to a huge group of people versus something where there is under 20 people.

They rarely sing for the family.”

The sisters said after the win they were excited.

“I don’t know how to describe how I feel after winning,” Sierra says. “We were happy with our performance, but we noticed all of the competition was really tight, and so after every person, we were like ‘They did really good,’ but we had to know in our head that we did the best that we could.”

Judi Yates, the show’s producer said it was the closest race she’d ever seen.

“The winner won by .1 percent this year,” she says. “This was close, guys, really close.”

As for the song itself, both Maycee and Sierra say they’re sticking to the original format, and plan to strengthen their harmonies to really showcase their voices.

Ultimately, Maycee says one reason why she and her sister won the competition was because they had each other there.

“It’s fun having my sister here because she knows me and I know her, so it’s more comfortable,” she says. “It’s comforting to have her there because it’s like when we’re at home, when we sing together to our favorite songs. It makes it easier.”

Sierra shares the same thoughts on having her sister by her side.

“Having your sister there just hits you, like this isn’t going to change, she isn’t going to change,” she says. “We hold our hands together through everything.”

Our National Anthem The Star-Spangled Banner Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that starspangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

During the War of 1812, on September 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key visited the British fleet in Chesapeake Bay to secure the release of Dr. William Beanes, who had been captured after the burning of Washington DC. The release was completed, but Key was held by the British overnight during the shelling of Fort McHenry, one of the forts defending Baltimore. In the morning, Key peered through clearing smoke to see an enormous American flag flying proudly after a 25-hour British bombardment of Fort McHenry.

He was so delighted to see the flag still flying over the fort that he began a poem to commemorate the occasion, with a note that it should be sung to the popular British melody “To Anacreon in Heaven.”

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered that it be played at military and naval occasions. In 1931, the Star-Spangled Banner became our national anthem.

Benajmin Franklin

KONGOS 7:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.

(1706-1790) Benjamin Franklin was a leading author, printer, civic activist and statesmen credited as one of the seven major founding fathers of the United States. He is also considered to be one of the most vocal and earliest activists to campaign for the unification of the original 13 colonies then under British rule. Though he earned great wealth by publishing Poor Richard’s Almanack and The Pennsylvania Gazette, he gained widespread popularity through his demands for the repeal of the Stamp Act, a tax imposed on colonists by the British government. In addition to his efforts at the Constitutional Convention, he also served as Postmaster General and Governor of Pennsylvania.

Franklin is also recognized for his many experiments, including his early work with electricity.

KONGOS is a rock band of four brothers – Johnny, Jesse, Dylan and Danny Kongos. Sons of multi-million-seller British singer-songwriter John Kongos, they grew up in London and South Africa, and are now based in Phoenix.

Their debut album, which the band self-wrote, produced and engineered, was released in 2007, receiving glowing reviews and earning a spot on Get Out’s top 10 local albums. Later that year, they were named Best Rock Band of Phoenix by the Phoenix New Times.

Their single “In The Music” reached No. 9 on the influential TuksFM top 40 in South Africa. Other airplay includes Indie 103.1 in Los Angeles, Q101 in Chicago, 98 KUPD and X103.9 in Phoenix, XFM in the UK, Motor FM in Germany, KNRK 94.7 in Portland, WXPN in Philadelphia and many more.

They’ve played extensively in Arizona and California, including five successful shows at The Viper Room, the most recent being Indie 103.1 sponsored. Their Spring ’08 West Coast tour featured a KNRK sponsored show in Portland, interviews and performances

American History 101 Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride took place on the evening of April 18, 1775, when he set out from Boston to Lexington, Massachusetts, to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were coming to arrest them. That part of the mission was successful, but Revere was arrested early the next morning after he decided to ride with two other men to Concord, Massachusetts, where weapons and supplies were hidden.

Fireworks Display 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.

T

his year’s Fireworks Display, put on by Fireworks Productions of Arizona, will include more than 1,800 fireworks and last about 45 minutes. The night’s attendees can expect a truly spectacular display, said Kendon Victor, the pyro production manager for Fireworks Productions of Arizona. “The grand finale will contain over 650 shells,” he said. “That’s a lot of fireworks.”

Why July 4? Why fireworks?

Independence Day – which recognizes the formal adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress – was not declared a federal holiday until 1941. It was first observed, however, on July 8, 1776 in Philadelphia, when a public reading of the Declaration of Independence took place. It is often said that George Washington celebrated America’s second birthday by providing double rations of rum to his troops in 1778. Annual celebrations of the nation’s birthday began in northeastern states as early as the mid 1780s and have continued throughout the U.S. since.

So why are fireworks the way we celebrate Independence Day? Marshall Brain, founder of the website www.howstuffworks.com, says a better question might be, “Why do guys like to light firecrackers?” The holiday is essentially an excuse to make some noise.

What’s interesting, Brain says, is how quickly the tradition was established. By 1777, people were celebrating the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. “It was a huge deal,” he says. “Once the war was over and won (in 1783), almost everything we associate with the Fourth of July, including picnics and bands and parades, was happening.”

Perhaps more importantly, then, one should ask, with all that partying, why don’t fireworks routinely catch things on fire?

Well, if mishandled, fireworks certainly can cause all kinds of damage. But the reason colorful aerial explosions don’t rain down fiery ashes is there’s nothing left after a few seconds.

When a shell bursts, it’s hundreds of feet above the ground. Brain says the explosion ignites tiny, peashaped bits of metal of the type you might find on sparklers. After burning for a few seconds, they dissolve.

“They’re completely consumed in the process of doing their thing,” he says.

Bits of paper that originally wrapped the shell sometimes make their way back to Earth, but they’re rarely aflame.

Symbols of Freedom

What is That?

Below is just some of the many different types of fireworks you might see tonight. Within each type of fireworks, numerous color combinations are possible.

Brocade: Firework shell containing long burning stars that fall a substantial distance from the shell burst, sometimes changing color as it falls.

Chrysanthemum shell: Firework shell that bursts and emits its stars in a circle (or spherical burst) and the brightness intensifies as the circle grows in size creating a simulation of a flower.

Coconut: Firework shell containing large comets that burst, then fall, creating a pattern of coconut palm tree branches.

Comet: A pressed or solid pyrotechnic material that produces a stream of sparks or fire (tail effect) as it is elevated.

Dahlia: Firework shell that bursts into a spherical shape, similar to a Peony, but usually with fewer, brighter stars.

Multi break shell: An aerial shell comprising more than one section producing a separate effect in sequence and ignited by the bursting of the preceding section.

Pattern shell: Firework shell containing stars assembled in a pattern, including but not limited to Rings, Double Rings, Hearts, Stars, Saturn, Hearts and Mickey Mouse.

Peony: Firework shell that bursts in a spherical shape but does not leave a trail of falling stars.

Salute: Fireworks shell that produces a loud report with a brilliant flash of light.

Strobe: Stars that burn, creating an “on-off-on-off ” light effect like a strobe light.

The Bald Eagle When choosing a national symbol, the Founding Fathers wanted to choose an animal that was unique to the United States.

After six years of debate, Congress selected the bald eagle as America’s symbol in 1782 after being shown a drawing of the bird displayed as a creature of power.

By the end of the year, the seal of the United States was in use.

The design of the Great Seal, which is the coat of arms of the United States, is used by the government in many ways. It appears in some form on coins, postage stamps, stationery, publications, flags, military uniforms, public monuments, public buildings, passports, and other items the U.S. government has issued, owns, or uses. The Seal can be affixed only by an officer of the Department of State, under the authority of its custodian, the Secretary of State.

Symbolically, the Seal reflects the beliefs and values that the Founding Fathers attached to the new nation and wished to pass on to their descendants. The most prominent feature is the American bald eagle supporting the shield, or escutcheon, which is composed of 13 red and white stripes, representing the original states; and a blue top which unites the shield and represents Congress. The motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of Many, One”) alludes to this union.

The olive branch and 13 arrows denote the power of peace and war, which is exclusively vested in Congress. The constellation of stars denotes a new state taking its place and rank among other sovereign powers.

4th Facts Some questions and answers about July 4th Clearly, Americans love a birthday party – particularly when it’s our own. But why do we do the somewhat random things we do when it’s time to celebrate the birth of our country?

Good question. Read on.

If a flag accidentally touches the ground but r remains in good condition, it should simply be r raised so that it doesn’t rest on anything.

Q. Which ingredient is better for potato salad, vinegar or mayonnaise?

Q Why isn’t baseball’s All-Star Q.

A. Klaus Tenbergen, a Fresno State culinary professor and master baker, loves his mayonnaise. But the Germany native says that the charm of potato salad is that it’s a regional dish with many variations: “It’s personal preference.”

In the southern parts of his homeland, residents eat more potato salad with vinegar, and it’s always served warm. In the north, the salad usually is creamier, more buttery, served cold and made with mayonnaise.

Game G played on July 4?

A Stealth bomber flies over Yankee Stadium prior to the start of the 2008 MLB All-Star game in the Bronx, New York, July 15, 2008.

Q. Why is Independence Day

celebrated on July 4?

A. It is the anniversary of the day in 1776 when 56 members of the Continental Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence, forming the United States as a new republic.

The group actually declared independence two days earlier. Founding father John Adams even wrote to his wife, “The Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable ... in the history of America.”

Uh, John? Not so much.

Q. Why do you have to destroy a

U.S. flag if it touches the ground? d?

Q. How did barbecuing – particularly hot dogs – become a July 4 tradition?

A. Cal Clement, who teaches a Fun With Fire barbecue class every couple of years in Hanford, California, says Independence Day barbecues didn’t become routine until after World War II. Soldiers returning home had begun moving to new suburban housing tracts, where backyards made the perfect backdrop to an outdoor meal. Money often was tight, and d they couldn’t afford expensive cuts of meat. Hot ot dogs were cheap.

It didn’t hurt that they were precooked, so all grillers had to do was precooke heat and serv serve. “You don’t sit all day cooking,” Clement says.

A. You don’t. The flag code (which can be found atusflag.org) includes a couple of instructions that people often conflate into this myth: You should do everything possible to prevent the flag from touching the ground, and a flag no longer suitable for displayy should be destroyed, preferably by burning in a dignified manner.

Q. What’s the highest-grossing American movie related to the Fourth of July?

A. According to boxofficemojo.com, “Independence Day” is the highest Fourth of July related box-office success of all-time, pulling in more than $306 million.

– Don Mayhew, McClatchy Newspapers

Q. Were any U.S. presidents born on July 4?

A. Only one: Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president, in 1872.

The next closest is the current occupant of the White House, who was born July 6, 1946. But three of the first five U.S. presidents – John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe – died on July 4. Monroe was the last to do so, in 1851.

A What could be more American than the A. national pastime’s midsummer classic played on n IIndependence Day? Money, for one thing.

Bill Francis, a researcher at the Baseball Hall of Fame’s library, says there is no way team H owners were about to give up the Fourth of July o when it came time to schedule the first All-Star w Game in 1933. The holiday was far too lucrative.

G Most teams scheduled July 4 doubleheaders. Fans flocked to ballparks and d sstayed all day (the first night game was still two years away), buying lots of food and drink. tw Though everyone agreed July was a good month for the All-Star Game, it was scheduled on a fo weekday after the Fourth, where it remains.

Test Your Knowledge Think you know the Declaration of Independence?

Give this quiz a try.

Representatives of the 13 American colonies approved a document 234 years ago R announcing the birth of a nation: the United States of America.

Test your knowledge about one of the most powerful documents ever written, the Declaration of Independence.

1. When did the colonies break

4. Did the Declaration start the

their ties to Britain?

Revolutionary War?

In 1776, in a four-step process.

June 7: Richard Henry Lee, a Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress, presented a resolution that read in part: “Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”

June 11: Congress postponed consideration of Lee’s resolution and appointed a Committee of Five to draft a statement of the reasons for declaring independence: John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Robert Livingston of New York and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia.

July 2: Congress adopted the Lee Resolution and began considering the committee’s declaration.

July 4: Congress approved the Declaration of Independence.

No. The war had begun with the battles of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. By the summer of 1776 American patriots had taken control of every colony, expelled royal officials and created an army led by George Washington.

In August 1775, King George III declared his American subjects to be “engaged in open and avowed rebellion.” An estimated 15 percent to 20 percent of colonists (called Tories) still supported the king.

2. Why was Jefferson the

principal writer?

5. Five signers of the

Declaration were taken prisoner by the British during the Revolution. What happened to them?

Four were captured while engaged in military actions against the British. They were treated as prisoners of war, not as traitors, and eventually released.

The other, Richard Stockton of New Jersey, was taken prisoner specifically because he had signed the Declaration. He was imprisoned in York City like a common criminal. He secured his release by recanting his signature and signing an oath of allegiance to George III.

According to John Adams’ account, Jefferson nominated Adams to write it. No, said Adams, it should be you: “Reason first, you are a Virginian, and a Virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. Reason second, I am obnoxious, suspected and unpopular. You are very much otherwise.”

6. Who were the oldest and youngest of the 56 signers?

3. Where did the ideas in the

Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, 70, and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina, 26.

Declaration originate?

Jefferson maintained – correctly – that it contained nothing new in political thought.

He was influenced by the 17th-century philosopher John Locke’s ideas about liberty and the social contract and by the English Whig party’s theories of government.

7. What was Benjamin Franklin’s remark after signing the declaration?

Noting that the signers were committing treason against King George, Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we

44 CBS5 Tempe Town Lake Festival Produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe

shall all hang separately.”

8. Who was the only college president to sign the declaration?

John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister born in Scotland who was president of the College of New Jersey, later known as Princeton. (Among his descendants is Reese Witherspoon, the actress.)

9. One member of Congress would not sign the Declaration.

Who, and why?

John Dickinson of Pennsylvania. He was hoping for reconciliation with Britain.

He thought his abstention would end his public life, but he later was elected president (governor) of Delaware, then president of Pennsylvania. In 1787 he was a delegate the federal convention that adopted the U.S. Constitution and was one of the signers of that document.
