Bring on the Heat!How appropriate is it that July

is National Hot Dog, Baked Bean,Ice Cream and Blueberry Month??I am sure Chef Vinny will beserving these items as well asmany other summertime favoritesat Belmont’s Fourth of Julycelebration! Please plan to attend,as I know it will be an event toremember.

I found it quite interesting howJuly became the 7th month of theyear and how it became to beknown as “July.” In ancient Rome,July was the fifth month of theyear. It was originally calledQuintilis, which means fifth inLatin. When the Gregoriancalendar was adopted, it becamethe seventh month of the year. Itstill kept the name of Quintilisuntil the death of Julius Caesar.

The seventh month of the yearwas Julius Caesar’s birth month soit was renamed in his honor. Julyis one of the seven months withthirty one days.

On July 19, we will once againhave the Employee Summer Picnicand Carnival. Make sure you get agood seat to watch some of themanagement team being knockedinto the water of the dunk tankwhile the others try to avoidgetting a pie in the face. We willeven have a mystery participant inthe dunk tank this year. I mayeven have to take a shot at thebull’s-eye.

I hope everyone has awonderful July! Stay cool andmake sure to drink plentyof water.

Patriotic PlacesHappy Fourth of July to a few

of the U.S. cities that express theirpatriotism in their name:Independence, Mo.; Liberty, Texas;New Freedom, Pa.; and Patriot,Ind.

Celebrate America’sBirthday

Members of the SecondContinental Congress adopted thefinal draft of the Declaration ofIndependence on July 4, 1776.

In the years following theRevolutionary War, July Fourthwould be marked with speeches,military events, parades andfireworks.

In 1941, Congress declared JulyFourth a federal holiday.

Ask your grandchildren howthey plan to celebrate the Fourthof July. Tell them how youcelebrated at their age. Mostmunicipalities do not allowpeople to set off their ownfireworks, but it used to be acommon practice.

Share with your grandchildrenspecial memories you have of theholiday: potluck picnics, baseballgames or a trip to the beach.Maybe you won awatermelon-eating contest!

A Cricket SymphonyThe sound of crickets chirping

is relaxing for many people. Asthe months get warmer, thecrickets begin to make moremusic. Science can explain howthe temperature affects thenumber of chirps a cricketproduces. There is even aformula for figuring out thetemperature based on thenumber of chirps.

Crickets are cold-bloodedand, because of this, they takeon the temperature thatsurrounds them. As thetemperature rises, the number ofchirps a cricket produces alsoincreases.

To obtain a rough estimate ofwhat the temperature is indegrees Fahrenheit, count thenumber of chirps you hear in 15seconds. Add 37 to that number,and you will have theapproximate outsidetemperature.

While you enjoy the greatoutdoors, listen to the cricketsand try using the formula todetermine the temperature.
