Many locations are named after famous people in history, many after natural

features or events, and some are named after food, whether directly or indirectly.

We’ll take a look this week at some interesting “foodie” places.

E If you start off your morning with a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, you should feel welcomed in Bacon, Texas, or Bacon Cove in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Add in Two Egg, Florida, and you have a delicious breakfast combo and some interesting locations! E Bacon Cove is a part of Conception Harbor, a rocky area of great interest to kayakers, scuba divers and archaeologists. There are many shipwreck sites in the area as well as one of the province’s last whaling wrecks that is partially submerged.E Two Egg, Florida, was originally named Allison after a family-owned sawmill opened in the area. During the Great Depression, the locals began trading eggs for other needs at the local general store, so the tiny little town changed its name.E Do you want some toast with breakfast? Toast, North Carolina, is just west of Mount Airy. By the way, North Carolina actually has a state “toast,” but it is not the kind made with bread!E With all of the grains grown on the prairies in Alberta, Canada, is it any surprise that there is a place named Cereal? It is a small community east of Calgary in the sparsely populated area of Alberta known as the Canadian Badlands. E In the United States, Battle Creek, Michigan, is known as the “breakfast capital of the world.” In June, they hosted the Cereal Festival and World’s Longest Breakfast Table events. Missed them this year? Watch for them next June.E Oatmeal, Texas, along with its larger neighbor

For those of us who can’t get started in the morning without our coffee (and maybe another cup at mid-afternoon for a little pickup), there’s good news. There are benefits to drinking coffee.The latest research indicates that coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. Granted, this study was done with mice, but many mice studies end up with human correlations. The way it apparently works is that coffee suppresses insulin sensitivity and affects glucose metabolism. Additionally, coffee improves fatty liver. The two seem to go hand in hand, as fatty liver “causes insulin resistance in the liver.” Researchers initially believed caffeine was the reason, but now they wonder if the anti-diabetic compounds come from something other than the caffeine.And that’s not all. It seems that coffee helps to fight off advanced prostate cancer. According to the study, those men who drank the most coffee had a much lower risk of prostate cancer, especially the aggressive kind of the cancer.There’s more. The caffeine in coffee melted away the plaque in the brain caused by

Alzheimer’s disease. Again, this was with mice, but it worked well enough that they tried it on humans. The dose, equivalent to five cups of coffee per day, is a bit much, but the results were promising enough that researchers are looking into using caffeine as a treatment for Alzheimer’s.If you have gout, you’ll appreciate this: Coffee helps fight the disease by reducing the uric-acid levels in the blood. Tea, however, doesn’t work. Therefore, scientists believe it’s not the caffeine that does the trick, but some other component in the coffee itself. For those of us who can’t handle caffeine, we need to beware. Even decaffeinated coffee contains some caffeine. It depends on how the beans were processed and how the coffee is made.

A movement that is gaining popularity among city dwellers is patio gardening. A few pots, good soil, regular attention with water, and sunshine can yield some fresh vegetables for your table. Even if all you grow is fresh basil and tomatoes, you will surely enjoy the “fruits” of your labor. Many areas also have “community” gardens where you can pay a small amount to have the use of a garden plot. Rules require cooperation with other gardeners and requirements for keeping your space in good shape. Check out your options!

Thought of the Week“A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.”

— Robert A. Heinlein

z You might be surprised to learn that it was theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, one of the best-known scientists of all time, who made the following sage observation: “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”z On average, a man’s beard grows about a half-inch every month.z Do you suffer from coprolalia? I would hope not! If you’re a word deconstructionist and up on your Greek, you might be able to figure out that coprolalia means an uncontrollable use of obscene language, since “copro” means “dung” and “lalia” means “chatter” or “babble.”z Marilyn Monroe’s iconic film “Some Like It Hot” (which in 2000 was named the greatest American comedy film of all time by the American Film Institute) was originally titled “Not Tonight Josephine!”

z The next time you have jury duty and want to get out of it, you might want to keep this in mind: A judge in Liverpool, England, dismissed a man from the jury when fellow jurors complained about the fleas in his beard.z At one time, the Catholic Church considered it sinful to eat a hot dog.z If you’re ever visiting Egypt and asking for directions, remember that in that country, “upstream” means south.z It’s probably fair to say that people have been enjoying mixed alcoholic beverages for hundreds of years, but the word “cocktail” wasn’t in general use until 1888, when it was printed for the first time, in a bartender’s manual.z In Connecticut in the 17th century, it was illegal to smoke more than one cigarette a day, and that one had to be smoked at home.

Feeding FledglingsKeep it simple when feeding baby birds. White millet, whole-grain bread, suet nuggets, sunflower heart chips and raw peanuts make great foods for fledglings. Toss these foods on the ground, preferably in front of a bush or brush pile so babies feel more secure on their outings.

“X” Marks the SpotBy Sam Mazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A friend of mine told me that he trained his dog to go in a specific spot in his backyard by using a scented rock to mark the spot. How does that work, and where can I get this rock? — Frank in West Roxbury, Mass.DEAR FRANK: Your friend essentially trained his dog to identify a particular scent with a location that’s OK for him to eliminate. Using a focal point like the rock is pretty helpful when you’re trying to train your dog to do this. Hopefully the scent is unique enough that the dog won’t smell it elsewhere in or around his neighbor’s house!You can most likely find something like the scented rock (or a similar training tool) at a local pet store or online. Look under house training or basic obedience.Most dogs can be trained to use a specific spot, or several designated spots. It’s best if this training begins early in a dog’s life. If the dog is used to just running anywhere in the yard to do his business, disassociating him from this behavior is necessary and adds time to the process. You’ll also

need to be absolutely disciplined yourself with this method — taking the dog out at specified times, daily, to that spot, until he completely associates the area with elimination. Ultimately, you’ll want to be able to just let the dog outside at that specified time and have him go on his own in that spot, although some dogs may never reach that point.The upside of this, of course, is that your lawn will remain free of little surprises as well as yellowed spots on the grass. The extra benefit, however, is that you give your dog a little more “face time” as you work with him to use the designated spot, something that rewards both of you.

Driving through Chicken, Alaska, Ted saw a chicken cross the road. He noticed it looked different and was very fast. He followed it to a small farm where he was amazed to see many three-legged chickens. Farmer John came out and Ted said, “Three-legged chickens? Wow!”Farmer John replied, “Yeah, I bred them that way because I love drumsticks.”“How do they taste?” asked Ted.The farmer smiled, “I don’t really know. I haven’t been able to catch one yet!”

FOODIE PLACES (continued):Bertram, has been holding an annual Oatmeal Festival every Labor Day Weekend since 1978. The water tower in town is painted to look like a cylindrical oatmeal box from National Oats, the maker of 3 Minute Oats, the only oats company that responded to the festival organizers 33 years ago. E By the way, if you visit the “down-under” land of Australia, go south to the island of Tasmania. There you will find Eggs and Bacon Bay and Eggs and Bacon Beach. Also, there are some local flowers known as “Eggs and Bacon” flowers. E Since the maple leaf became the centerpiece of the Canadian flag in 1965 and was officially recognized as Canada’s arboreal emblem in 1996, it’s really no surprise that there are lots of places named maple in Canada. A query on “National Resources Canada” website yielded 167 places.E With the increasing popularity of coffee and coffeehouses in big cities, you may be curious about Hot Coffee, Mississippi. It is a small town that got its name from an innkeeper in the 1800s who put out a sign in the shape of a coffee pot to attract

business. Not only did it help the inn’s popularity, the area adopted the name.E Coldwater, Ontario; Buttermilk, Kansas; and Beer Bottle Crossing, Idaho, all sound like other great places to grab a drink. E Since the sandwich was discovered, it has been a lunch staple in much of the world. The sandwich got its name in 1762 from John Montagu, who was the 4th Earl of Sandwich, when he asked for his meat to be served between two pieces of bread. Sandwich is a small town in Kent in southeast England. In 2003, the 11th Earl of Sandwich and his son, Orlando, teamed up with Robert Earl (not a British Earl) to start a restaurant named Earl of Sandwich at one of the busiest places in the world — Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. There are now a number

of franchises in the United States. E There are a number of other places around the world named Sandwich. One place originally named after the Earl of Sandwich was the Sandwich Islands, which Captain James Cook named after his sponsor, the Earl of Sandwich, in 1778. The islands are now known as Hawaii.E There are also towns named Sandwich in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Illinois and Ontario. E Burnt Corn, Alabama; Greasy Corner, Arkansas; Goobertown, Arkansas; Pumpkin Center, Oklahoma; Conche, Newfoundland; Weiner, Arkansas; and Rice, California. Don’t you want to check them out?E Red meat eaters may have heard of Angus, Ontario, west of Barrie and about an hour north of

Consumers Bailing on Bailout Program

The government’s Making Home Affordable mortgage bailout programs haven’t been as successful as was expected. The programs were designed to lower mortgage payments, allowing homeowners to keep their homes and avoid foreclosure. As it’s turning out, the vast majority of homeowners who get a lowered mortgage end up defaulting on their mortgages anyway.There are quite a few reasons for the failure of the programs. • Banks weren’t initially asking for proof of income, automatically putting homeowners into a trial program. Once paperwork was completed during the trial period, it was discovered that many homeowners had too much income to qualify and were taken out of the program. (This happened with nearly half a million homeowners.) • Paperwork was lost or homeowners failed to send in required documents. • Homeowners are giving up and selling their homes. (Those who agree to a short sale or just give the house back to the bank qualify for $3,000 in moving expenses.) • Homeowners haven’t been able to get through the trial program successfully (payments have to be made on time) before the new modification deal is final.• Even with mortgage modification, homeowners still have other debts to juggle. Not only did they have late mortgage payments, but other bills had stacked up as well before they applied for help. Those bills must still be paid.The number of people applying to the programs has plunged, but a new one, starting in August, could encourage thousands to seek help: the Unemployment Program.Some of the eligibility requirements include:

• Mortgage must have originated prior to Jan. 1, 2009.• Home must be the principal residence.• The mortgage wasn’t already modified by one of the

programs.• Mortgage payments are late, but not more than three

months.• The payment is more than 31 percent of the homeowner’s

income.• The homeowner can prove unemployment by receiving

unemployment benefits.At this point there are a number of programs available: Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), Second Lien Modification Program (2MP), Home Affordable Unemployment Program (UP) and Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA).For more information, go to www.makinghomeaffordable.gov, click on Resources, then click Frequently Asked Questions by Borrowers, or call 1-888-995-HOPE (4673).

Juan Pablo Montoya’s presence in NASCAR is truly historic. He was recognized as one of the world’s great driving

talents long before he strapped himself into a stock car.In addition to his one Sprint Cup victory (at Infineon Raceway in 2007), Montoya also has won both the Indianapolis 500 and the Grand Prix of Monaco. When he moved from Formula One to NASCAR, it was unprecedented.Success hasn’t come easily for Montoya in NASCAR, where he has won only once in 126 starts. New Hampshire Motor Speedway was a disappointment after Montoya’s No. 42 Chevrolet started on the pole. He crashed after tangling with Reed Sorenson late in the Lenox 301 and was credited with 34th place.“The teams are really competitive.…It is hard. It is so competitive,” said Montoya. Montoya made the Chase for the Sprint Cup last year, but the odds are against him. With nine races remaining in the regular season, he is 22nd

in points, 183 behind 12th place. The top 12 regular-season finishers make up the Chase field.What’s frustrating for Montoya is his belief that the team is stronger this year than last.“We are miles ahead right now,” he said. “We have

SucceSS eluSive for Montoyaa much faster race car than what we had last year at this point.“But we had a blown engine. We got together with our teammate. We’ve been involved in I don’t know how many wrecks from other people.…We have been right behind the wrecks. We have been a row or two rows behind where they wreck, and they block the whole track and right there, you are just a passenger. We have had, like, seven of those this year.”Though Montoya is, by background, a road racer, racing a stock car on road courses didn’t come as easily as one might think.“It’s crazy,” he said, “because, for me, it’s awkward being in these cars on a road course.…There’s just no grip. You know what I mean?…It’s just different. Put it that way.”The Bogota, Colombia, native now lives in Miami. He won the Indianapolis 500 in 2000 and the Grand Prix of Monaco in 2003. Montoya’s first NASCAR victory was a Nationwide Series race in Mexico City in 2007.

FOODIE PLACES (continued):Toronto. But the area was not named after angus beef cattle. It honors Angus Warner who discovered the Nottawasaga River.E Another memorable place in Canada is Cow Head, located in the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland in Gros Morne National Park. It is a beautiful area known for its cod, herring, salmon and lobster fisheries. So, why is it named Cow Head?E Salmon is considered one of the healthiest fish to eat, offering a high dose of Omega 3s. Salmon Arm is the largest community on Shuswap Lake, located between Calgary and Vancouver in British Columbia. With its gorgeous lake and mountain setting, the area grew 25 percent between 1991 and 2001 to a population of around 15,000. E Salmon, Idaho, is a small town of about 3,000 in central Idaho known for the Salmon River, also known as “The River of No Return.” The wilderness area surrounding it was explored by Lewis and Clark on their journey to the Pacific Ocean in the early 1800s. It is the birthplace of Sacajawea, the

Shoshone Indian woman who was a tremendous help on their expedition. E Chicken, Alaska, is a small town of about six people in the winter and 50 or so in the summer. A mining town founded in the late 1880s, Chicken became the name when the townspeople decided Ptarmigan was too hard to spell. Ptarmigan are the

small grouse-like birds that miners hunted for food. E Explore the library or internet to find more places with food names. We’ve surely not covered them all. To end this “foodie” exploration there are a couple of other places worth mentioning: Belcher, Louisiana, and Belchertown, Massachusetts. Don’t you wonder who named these towns?
