**Helga Kreuter-Eggemann**, née Helga Eggemann (1914 - 16 February 1970), was a German art historian involved in looting art in France during the Nazi occupation.

## Life

Helga Eggemann studied art history and received her doctorate from the University of Berlin in 1941. From 1941 to 1944 she worked for the Nazi looting organisation the Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce (ERR) in France. During this time she was the lover of the business lawyer Alexander Kreuter, whom she later married. She lived in Munich and owned a collection of Gothic manuscripts, graphics from French impressionism and art nouveau arts and crafts.

In 1946 the OSS Art Looting Intelligence Unit investigated Eggemann for her involvement in the Nazi looted art trade and placed her on the Red Flag list.

In 2013, historians tracing the history of a Matisse that had been stolen by Nazis from the art collector Paul Rosenberg found that Eggemann had been involved in processing it at the Jeu de Paume museums where art looted from Jews was collected.

Other studies have found that Eggemann was not only involved in but organized the plunder of French Jewish collectors.

Eggemann was also involved in the looting from Raoul Meyer the Camille Pissarro entitled Shepherdess Bringing in Sheep (“La bergère rentrant des moutons”) and the Schwob d'Héricourt collection among others.

According to the French government's Database of Art Objects at the Jeu de Paume (Cultural Plunder by the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg) dozens of artworks looted from private Jewish collectors in France were inventoried by Eggemann for the Nazis.

title: This Is Our House

abstract: "This Is Our House" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was originally written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child and recorded in 2009. Originally intended as an exclusive track for the forthcoming National League Super Bowl season, it became a hit with Bon Jovi fans who asked for it to be including on the band's new hits collection. Greatest Hits had already been pressed to disk and it was too late to include the song of a physical format but it made its debut proper as a bonus track if one downloaded Greatest Hit from the band's website. The song was also released as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of their Greatest Hits collection in the UK and Europe, but was released as a digital single in September 2011. Bon Jovi opened many shows in 2010-2012 with This Is Our House. Designed as a "sports anthem", the song was used by a number of sports leagues and teams, including Australia's National Rugby League, who prominently used the song as part of its marketing campaign beginning in the 2011 season. In contrast, its use by the New Jersey Devils was deemed controversial by fans due to the traditions surrounding Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll", which the team had discontinued to promote a more positive fan atmosphere. It has been the touchdown song for the New England Patriots since 2009.

"**This Is Our House**" is a song by American rock band Bon Jovi. It was originally written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child and recorded in 2009.

The song was also released as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of their Greatest Hits collection in the UK and Europe, but was released as a digital single in September 2011. Bon Jovi opened many shows in 2010-2012 with This Is Our House.

Designed as a "sports anthem", the song was used by a number of sports leagues and teams, including Australia's National Rugby League, who prominently used the song as part of its marketing campaign beginning in the 2011 season. In contrast, its use by the New Jersey Devils was deemed controversial by fans due to the traditions surrounding Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll", which the team had discontinued to promote a more positive fan atmosphere. It has been the touchdown song for the New England Patriots since 2009.

## Background

"This Is Our House" was written to be a "sports anthem"; speaking of the song, Jon Bon Jovi stated that "Having led an Arena Football League team from inception to championship and as a lifelong sports fan, I know the intensity and dedication that goes into cheering on your team." Owing to its thematic, before the band performed the song during *The Circle Tour* at Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field in Regina, Saskatchewan, Jon Bon Jovi suggested that the Saskatchewan Roughriders (who play their home games at Mosaic) adopt it as their theme song.

## Use in sports

Fitting for its purpose, "This Is Our House" saw a number of uses by sports teams and leagues. In February 2011, Australia's National Rugby League announced that "This Is Our House" would be the official theme song of the league beginning in the 2011 season, securing rights to the song for three years for use in its promotional campaigns. The song primarily appeared in television commercials, and as the theme music for Nine Network telecasts of the league. Fan reception to the campaign was positive, so much so that the NRL wanted to have Bon Jovi make a live appearance during its championship game, the NRL Grand Final. However, Kelly Clarkson was chosen to perform instead. The song was used until the 2013 NRL season, when it was replaced by a cover of "Something's Got a Hold on Me" by Jessica Mauboy. The song was also used in promotions by the New York Rangers, the New England Patriots, and the National Football League.

At their home opener for the 2013-14 season on October 5, 2013, the National Hockey League's New Jersey Devils adopted "This Is Our House" as its goal music, replacing part 2 of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll"—whose use by the team dated back to the team's move from Colorado in 1982. The team later stated that the change was intended to "\[create\] a game experience that represents what we are on the ice, makes all age groups proud of who we are, and represents our community"—a comment alluding a mocking "hey, you suck!" chant sung in tune to the song by fans. The change was met with an immediately negative response; fans booed the playing of "This Is Our House" throughout the game and reacted via social networking services.

Yahoo! Sports writer Greg Wyshynski pointed out the irony of Bon Jovi's music being booed by residents of their own state, joking that doing so "might be grounds for deportation in New Jersey. (OK, maybe just a shakedown from the feds; booing Bruce would mean deportation.)" Following a vote by fans on the team's website alongside Locksley's "The Whip" and Monster Truck's "Righteous Smoke", "This Is Our House" was ultimately replaced by The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army".

## Playing career

Born in Bayport, New York, Cannone played junior hockey for the New England Jr. Falcons of the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) from 2004 through 2006. He then joined the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders of the United States Hockey League (USHL) for one season before enrolling at Miami University, where he played four seasons of college hockey. In 2011, after the end of the college hockey season, Cannone was signed as a free agent by the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League, and was assigned to their Binghamton affiliate in the AHL.

# Helga Kohl

**Helga Kohl** is a photographer born in Poland and based in Namibia whose work explores abandoned diamond mine towns in Namibia. Her main series of buildings in Kolmanskop show how the Namib desert's sands have reclaimed abandoned buildings. She is a member of the Professional Photographers in Southern Africa (PPSA) and her works have been exhibited and collected internationally, though especially prominent in Namibia.

## Early life

Helga Kohl was born in 1943 in Silesia, Poland. She emigrated to West Germany in 1958, where she studied photography and received a degree from the Münster Chamber of Trade. In 1970, Kohl moved to Namibia, where she has worked as a freelance photographer since 1975.

## Career

Her work has explored the abandoned diamond mining sites, particularly those of Kolmanskop in the southern Namib desert. Kohl's photographs capture how the mining town, abandoned in 1954, has been reclaimed by waves of sand. She returned to the site over several decades to capture the changing light, shadow, and architectural wear. During her visits, she would sit and watch the dunes shift in the rooms before deciding to photograph. The final series spent four years in production (1993–1997). Kohl's 1997 *Elisabeth Bay* series explored the abandoned Namibian diamond mining site by the same name. The mine was active between 1908 and 1948. Her pictures document the remnants of how people once occupied the mining town. Its desert-eroded ruins show both where people once lived and the effects of time and nature on human enterprise.

She joined the Professional Photographers in Southern Africa (PPSA) in 1989, received their President's Award in 1993, and was awarded a fellowship in fine art photography in 1998. Throughout the 1990s, she held solo exhibitions in Windhoek, Swakopmund, and Cape Town, and at the 1995 Miss Universe beauty pageant in the Namibian capital. Kohl participated in group exhibitions in Windhoek and Johannesburg, and in several Standard Bank Namibia biennales, of which she won first prize in 2001.

Her photographs were the "signature images" of the 2005 Rencontres Africaines de la Photographie, held in Bamako, Mali, after which they were exhibited internationally and donated to the Namibian national archives. Kohl published a book on the photographs, *Kolmanskop: Past and Present*, a year prior. In 2007, Kohl exhibited at Voies Off at Arles and began an artist residency in Bremen. Her photographs were also shown in a 2013 exhibition at the Washington, D.C.-based National Museum of African Art, *Earth Matters: Land as Material and Metaphor in the Arts of Africa*. Kohl's works reside in private collections internationally and in the public collection of the National Art Gallery of Namibia.

title: Thomas Bellot

abstract: Thomas Bellot was an English naval surgeon and philologist. He was born at Manchester, where his father, after whom he was named, was a practising surgeon in Oldham Street. The father was a native of Derbyshire, and gave evidence in 1818 before a committee of the House of Lords on Sir Robert Peel's factory bill. His mother's maiden name was Jane Hale, and she was the daughter of Thomas Hale of Darnhall, Cheshire, author of Social Harmony, who claimed to be of the same family as Sir Matthew Hale. Thomas Bellot became a pupil at the Manchester Grammar School in 1816, after which he became a pupil of Joseph Jordan, a well-known practitioner in his native city. On 16 February 1828 he was admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and in 1831 entered upon the active service as a naval surgeon, in which he passed the greater part of his life. His first appointment was on the Harrier, where he joined in several boat attacks on the pirates infesting the straits of Malacca. In 1835 he joined the Leveret, and served in the prevention of the African slave trade until 1839. In this expedition he was one of the party that boarded the slave brig Diogenes, and had charge of the wounded prisoners until they were transferred to the hospital at Mozambique. He next served for three years with the Firefly on the West Indian coast. In 1843 he went with the Wolf to the coast of China. During his absence, and without his knowledge, he was elected F.R.C.S. causa honoris 6 August 1844. In 1849 he had medical charge of the Havering, which conveyed 365 convicts to Sydney. Cholera broke out, but his firmness and judgment enabled him to dispense with the exercise of the great powers entrusted to him on this occasion. Some scientific maps and specimens sent by him to the admiralty from Labuan were forwarded to the Museum of Economic Geology. His last outward voyage was in November 1854, when he joined the flagship Britannia, which conveyed Vice-Admiral Dundas to the Black Sea as commander of the fleet. Bellot was assigned the care of the sick at the naval hospital of Therapia on the Bosphorus, as one of the chief hospital surgeons, and returned to England in March 1855 in charge of invalids. This adventurous life was not without influence on his health, and during his stay in the West Indies he had two attacks of yellow fever. He returned to Manchester, and, dying in June 1857, was buried in the churchyard of Poynton, Cheshire. He was honorary member of the Philosophical Society of Sydney, and of several other learned associations. The classical learning received at the Manchester school was increased by further study in the scanty leisure of his busy professional life. He translated the Aphorisms of Hippocrates and of Galen on the Hand (1840). In the latter he was helped by Joseph Jordan. His interest in philology led him to make excursions into the domain of oriental literature. In the intervals on half-pay he visited many cities of Europe, attended the lectures of H. H. Wilson at Oxford, made the acquaintance of Christian Bunsen, and was a friend and disciple of Franz Bopp. Bellot's work on the Sanscrit Derivations of English Words., printed at Manchester in 1856 by subscription, is in effect a comparative dictionary, in which a number of English words are traced to their source. The illustrations range over a wide field of philological knowledge, including Chinese. He had paid considerable attention to the language and antiquities of China, and bequeathed his collection of Chinese books and bronzes to the Manchester Free Library.

# Helix albescens

*Helix albescens* is a species of large air-breathing land snail from eastern Europe belonging to the family Helicidae.

## Description

*Helix albescens* is a relatively small *Helix* species with globular shell, which is whitish to cream-brown, usually with five reddish-brown bands of which especially the second and third may partly fuse. Umbilicus closed, apertural margins may be brown. Characteristic is a very large protoconch (the embryonal shell). The animal is yellow, usually with a dark, brown back.

On the genital system, typical characters are a missing diverticulum of bursa copulatrix (gametolytic gland) and a very short flagellum.

## Distribution and habitat

*Helix albescens* is distributed in southern Ukraine, southwestern Russia (Ciscaucasia) and the Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan). The distribution of mitochondrial genetic lineages suggests that the species originates from Crimea.

The species naturally occurs in shruby habitats (with Christ's thorn, blackthorn, hawthorn, etc.).

## Reproduction

As all stylommatophoran land snails, *H. albescens* is a hermaphrodite. It lays its eggs in small clutches in cavities dug 5-6 cm deep into a damp soil. Egg laying takes many hours, because laying one egg can takes as much as two hours. Recorded clutch size ranges between 6 and 25 eggs, with an average of 18 eggs. Oval eggs are large relative to the animal, with a maximum diameter of 6-11 mm.

# Alyssa Bonagura

**Alyssa Bonagura** (born April 1, 1988) is an American singer-songwriter.

## Early life and career

Alyssa Bonagura is from Franklin, Tennessee. She is the daughter of singers Michael Bonagura and Kathie Baillie of Baillie & the Boys. She has been singing since the age of 2 and is a multi-instrumentalist. At the age of 10, she was asked by Kenny Rogers to sing a duet with him on his Christmas album *Christmas From The Heart*. She was awarded the Sennheiser Scholarship which allowed her to graduate from Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts with a degree in sound technology in 2009. She performed back up vocals in "That Old Glass Case" on her mother's 2006 album *Love's Funny That Way*. While studying in England from 2006 to 2009, she became a temporary member of Pete Wylie and The Mighty Wah! and played at such events as the 2007 Queens Variety Show in Liverpool, England at the Empire Theatre, and Knowsley Hall Music Festival alongside acts such as The Who, The Coral, and The Thrills. She performed at the 2008 European Capital of Culture event, Liverpool: the Musical – the event which inaugurated Liverpool's new Echo Arena with Ringo Starr.

In 2010, Bonagura signed with Rondor Music International (A division of Universal Music) as a songwriter and has successfully written songs for Raquel Castro's debut single "Diary". In 2011, Sarah Jarosz released a single that she co-wrote with Bonagura called "Run Away." She's also co-written the song "Keeping Secrets" with Tyler Ward on his 2012 album *Hello. Love. Heartbreak.* and "Like U" for Kaya Jones.

She has produced artists including Jo Dee Messina and Jessie James Decker. Bonagura co-wrote, produced, and was featured on the song "Unbreakable", the first song Messina has released since her split from a major label. Jessie James' version of Bonagura's song "Nothing More To Say" was featured on Perez Hilton's blog site in 2010.

In 2012, her song "I Make My Own Sunshine" was used in a Lowe's commercial. Her debut album *Love Hard* was released on October 30, 2012.

Penned by Bonagura, her father Michael, and Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, the single, "This Christmas", is the title-track of Nelson's album and marks their first return on a *Billboard* chart in more than 20 years. "This Christmas" debuted at #22 on the Adult Contemporary chart on December 12, 2015.

On March 13, 2016, Bonagura performed with bandmate Ruby Stewart at the CMC Rocks festival in Queensland, Australia. Billing themselves as The Sisterhood, the two had been working together for a year after Rod Stewart told them, "you two should start a band, your voices are good together." The two performed a one-hour set with backing by the Morgan Evans band.

# Historic Chinatown Alley

The **Historic Chinatown Alley** (Chinese: 歷史性 唐人街巷) is an official street in the City of Red Bluff, California (Chinese: 雷德布拉夫) located on Rio Street between Hickory Street and Pine Street, with Walnut Street serving as the center of Chinatown for a small town in Tehama County.

## History

As early as 1852, four years after the first contingent of Chinese arrived in California to work the gold mines during the California Gold Rush, a Chinatown was created to serve the growing population arriving at the last steamboat stop known as Head of Navigation in Red Bluff, California.

There were five original families who settled and made Red Bluff, California their home in the New World. Following the death of Joe You Chew, the Helen and Joe Chew Foundation with the support from the Chinese American descendants of Red Bluff, California championed the “Historic Chinatown Alley” street naming receiving unanimous approval from the Red Bluff City Council and Planning Commission. The alleyway now looks down upon the Chinatown that was once so vibrant and cherished in the hearts of many families, unveiling Red Bluff, California’s beautiful History of Chinese Americans.

### Rise and Fall

Until 1875, Red Bluff was the last steamboat stop on the Sacramento River. While Chinatown was a segregated neighborhood, it was not hindered from thriving because of its access to many modes of transportation first being adjacent to the Sacramento River and later the railroad, followed by Route 99 making access to ship and receive goods fairly easily. Chinatown blossomed through the 1970s until the construction of the I-5 freeway which had changed the flow of traffic causing many to relocate

## Current use

Today, the Historic Chinatown Alley is frequented by the descendants and used as a place for visitors to enjoy a self-guided walking tour.

title: Helmbrechts concentration camp

abstract: As a Nazi concentration camp for forced labor, Helmbrechts concentration camp was a women's subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp founded near Helmbrechts near Hof, Germany in the summer of 1944. The first prisoners who came to the camp were political prisoners from the Ravensbrück camp in northern Germany. Later Jewish prisoners were brought.

The first prisoners who came to the camp were political prisoners from the Ravensbrück camp in northern Germany. Later Jewish prisoners were brought.

## History

In the beginning, no barracks were completed so the women slept in the factory hall. Eventually twelve barracks were completed, but only four were for prisoners living quarters. Fifty-four guards served at the camp; twenty-seven men and twenty-seven women. Most of the women guards served at other camps; many trained at Flossenburg, two at Gross Rosen and some in Ravensbrück concentration camp before they arrived at Helmbrechts. The male guards were mostly older Germans or ethnic Germans who were no longer combat worthy.

Herta Haase, Erna Achtenberg, Ellia Mains, Ingeborg Schimming-Assmuss, and Ruth Hildner were some of the female SS troops stationed in the camp. The male guards profiles however are unknown by the most part. According to a postwar testimony of overseer Elli Mains, relations between the male and female guards were "very good." The camps population was mainly non-Jews, but in March 1945, a group of over 500 Jewish women arrived on foot from the Grünberg subcamp in Poland.

Conditions for the Jewish prisoners at Helmbrechts were brutal with vicious guards and primitive facilities. One prisoner who stayed there a month on the Volary death march writes of sleeping on dirt floors with no blankets. Nor was there access to toilets; only two barrels in the corner of the barracks served 400 women in the barracks, many of whom suffered from dysentery. The guards regularly beat them in the morning for the mess. Weissman Klein reports that each morning the guards came by with a wheelbarrow to haul away the bodies of those who died in the night. Many also died as a result of beatings.

### Evacuation (death march)

In early April 1945 the front closed in on Germany. Commandant Doerr ordered the women and a few men, one being a rabbi, to depart on a death march to the Dachau concentration camp. The extra clothing in the camp was given to the non-Jewish prisoners. Along the way the Nazi guards learned that the US Army liberated the camp and turned the march into (then still occupied) Czechoslovakia. The Germans left all the non-Jewish women at the Zwodau (Svatava) subcamp on the seventh day of the march but took with them the more than 500 Jewish women. Those women marched another two weeks, until May 6, most of them dying from starvation, disease, and the beatings and shootings of the guards. On May 6, they were liberated at Volary, Czechoslovakia. The camp at Helmbrechts was liberated the same day as Bergen Belsen, April 15, but no inmates remained behind.

### Postwar fates of one of the camp guard

In 1996 renewed attention focused on the Helmbrechts sub-concentration camp. Two stories broke about former SS-*Aufseherin* ("Overseer") Ingeborg Schimming-Assmuss who was accused of killing four prisoners at the camp and on the death march into Czechoslovakia. One article began "DEATH FORSTALLED the LAW." "The \[camp\] called her 'the Terrible Inge'- Inge Assmuss, earlier Schimming, one of 27 \[female guards\] inside the external bearing Helmbrechts." She was hidden from prosecution by the State Security Service in Berlin for over 50 years. The first record of murder was done by Ingeborg, as well as the other female guards in Helmbrechts on February 24, 1945. She and the other overseers flogged to death a female inmate, Dr. Alexandra Samoylenko, as punishment for having escaped. The act was tolerated and ordered by camp commandant Alois Doerr. Another former prisoner related, "...on the first day after the march \[began\] an Aufseherin--she was called Inge--tore my completely weakened friend Bassia from my arms with a switch and dragged her into the forest. I heard a shot. Subsequently, the Aufseherin returned alone." Two other inmates also related to Allied forces that the Aufseherin killed other internees. In 1951 a warrant was issued for Ingeborg's arrest to the GDR. Authorities in East Berlin refused to hand over the former SS employee, saying that 'she works for us.' In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell and Inge was still living in East Berlin, scarcely fifty meters from the former wall. In 1994 she was discovered living in Berlin-Pankow. In 1996 Ingeborg Schimming-Assmuss died, a free woman. The German government was in the process of prosecuting the former female guard, but as the title of the article stated, death stopped all proceedings. She was seventy-four years old.

**Rich Isaacson** (born October 18, 1964) is an international music entrepreneur whose influence spans artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, MIKA, Akon, Gustavo Santaolalla, Charles Bradley, Mobb Deep, Melanie Fiona, SafetySuit, and Three 6 Mafia.

## Loud Records

In the early 1990s, Rifkind’s LOUD Records had secured a small production deal with Zoo Records while also running SRC, an upstart street promotion/marketing company designed to connect the dots in the emerging rap scene. Isaacson spent a few weeks on Rifkind’s couch, studying *Billboard*, reading lawyer Don Passman’s "All You Need to Know About the Music Business" and going over the LOUD contracts. He soon took over day-to-day operations at the fledgling start-up.

Together, the pair nurtured LOUD Records from a fledging $3,000-a-month production deal to a $100 million joint-venture label, featuring multi-platinum artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Xzibit, Funkmaster Flex and Three6Mafia. Rich led the negotiation for LOUD’s landmark deal, signing Wu-Tang Clan for $10,000. LOUD released the single, "Protect Ya Neck," with the promise to allow leader RZA to shop the other members of the collective to individual solo deals at other labels.

Isaacson also oversaw the expansion of SRC's "Street Team" concept, a group of 25 tastemakers around the country who marketed underground non-commercial records at the grassroots level. SRC's marketing prowess eventually attracted Fortune 500 companies like Nike, Pepsi, Levi’s, Universal Pictures and Hugo Boss. LOUD and SRC ultimately forged a first-look deal with Miramax Films and the acquisition of SRC by Interpublic.

# Thomas Henry Hastings Davies

**Thomas Henry Hastings Davies** (27 January 1789  11 December 1846) was a British soldier and Member of Parliament.

## Early life

Davies was born on 27 January 1789. He was the eldest son of Thomas Davies, Advocate General to the East India Company in Bengal, and Anna Baillie (a daughter of Hugh Baillie of Monckton). His brother was General Francis John Davies. He succeeded to his father's estate in 1792 and to the estate of his grandfather, Thomas Davies of New House, Herefordshire (who married Mary Warburton), in 1795.

He was educated at the Royal Military College.

## Career

He joined the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment of Foot as an ensign, rising to become a captain before, in 1809, he moved to the Grenadier Guards. He served at the Battle of Waterloo, and was made a lieutenant-colonel the same year. He eventually became a colonel in 1837, retiring the same year.

### Political career

In 1816 he purchased Elmley Castle in Worcestershire. At the 1818 UK general election, Davies stood for the Whigs in Worcester, winning the seat. In Parliament, he tended to oppose government spending, and was critical of what he saw as waste in the British Army. He argued for the Army to intervene in support of Spain when French troops invaded in 1823. He supported Catholic emancipation. He supported electoral reform, and introduced a bill which limited polling to eight days, but introduced multiple polling places in larger towns and cities; this was successful.

Davies held the seat repeatedly, but was defeated at the 1835 UK general election. While campaigning in the election, he was thrown from his carriage, and as a result was partly paralysed. He stood again at the 1837 UK general election, regaining the seat without facing an opponent, then he retired at the 1841 UK general election, as the paralysis worsened.

## Personal life

On 17 January 1824 Davies was married to Augusta Anne Champion de Crespigny (c.1800–1892), a daughter of Thomas Champion de Crespigny, MP for Sudbury, and the former Augusta Charlotte Thellusson (a daughter of merchant Peter Thellusson and granddaughter of Genevan banker and diplomat Isaac de Thellusson).

Davies died on 11 December 1846. By his 1841 will, he left all his property to his wife, which further directed that on her death it was to be divided equally between his brothers and executors, Warburton Davies and Francis John Davies (grandfather of Gen. Sir Francis Davies and Maj.-Gen. Henry Rodolph Davies). After his death she married Sir John Pakington, Bt, the Secretary of State for War, in 1851. In 1874 he was made Baron Hampton and Augusta became Baroness Hampton.

# Trak Auto

**Trak Auto Corporation** was an American retail chain specializing in automotive parts and accessories based in Landover, Maryland. Founded by Robert Haft in 1979, at its peak in 1993 it operated 333 stores around the United States under the Trak Auto, Super Trak, and Super Trak Warehouse concepts. A declining market, stiff competition, and management problems led to a steep decline and bankruptcy, with its remaining stores acquired by and converted to Advance Auto Parts in 2002.

## History

Trak Auto formed part of the stable of discount operations owned by the Dart Group, the family holding company of Herbert Haft, and grew indirectly out of Dart Drug. Part of Dart Drug's strategy was to offer additional merchandise beyond the usual prescription drugs, health and beauty aids, and other merchandise that is typically found in a neighborhood drug store during the early 1970s. Robert Haft noticed that they were selling large volumes of auto supplies in his drug stores. His research discovered that 80 percent of aftermarket auto supplies were sold by independent, mom-and-pop operations, leaving room for a national discount retailer. After studying competitors like Sears and the Pep Boys, Trak Auto was launched in 1979.

Trak Auto expanded rapidly, following the same aggressive strategy as its recently formed sister company, Crown Books: heavy discounts on high-volume products from mostly suburban standalone locations. In 1982, it partnered with Los Angeles-based Thrifty Corp, owners of the Thrifty Drug Stores chain, to open Trak Auto stores in Southern California. The venture lost heavily, which Haft blamed on insufficient volume— "We needed 50 stores in Chicago and 100 in Los Angeles to break even" he would tell *Fortune* magazine in a 1987 interview. After Thrifty agreed to be acquired by Pacific Lighting in 1986, it sold its stake in the West Coast Trak Auto and Crown Books operations back to Dart, paying $11.7 million to be relieved of $40 million in loan guarantees. In an attempt to increase revenue, they advertised as having stores that stayed open later than most auto parts stores, with a few stores open 24 hours.

In 1993, at its peak, Trak Auto operated 333 stores in the Washington, D.C., Richmond, Chicago, and Los Angeles metro areas, but shifted strategy around this time to closing unprofitable stores and replacing them with large-format Super Trak and warehouse store Super Trak Warehouse locations; the first Super Trak opened in 1992. In 1995, it acquired National Auto Stores, which operated stores in the Pittsburgh area, with plans to convert them to its superstore formats. But the early 1990s saw the company roiled by management struggles at the Dart Group, amidst disagreements between Herbert and Robert Haft, and Herbert's divorce with his wife Gloria. The acrimonious family split led *Businessweek* to speculate that the elder Haft was deliberately using accounting measures to undermine the companies, to weaken Gloria and Robert: Trak Auto reported 1994 income had declined by 98% over the year before.

The Haft dispute was settled by the courts in 1995, and Richard Stone brought in to serve as the Dart Group's new CEO in 1997. But while the management situation had stabilized, the company was in a weak position. Sales across the category were flat, as fewer people were interested in do-it-yourself car repairs and improvements, and a strong economy allowed more people to pay for service. In October 1997, Trak Auto withdrew from the Southern California market, selling its 80 stores to CSK Auto, which were rebranded as Kragen Auto Parts. The following year, the Dart Group itself was acquired by supermarket operator Richfood, which was interested only in the Shoppers Food & Pharmacy operations. Trak Auto was quickly sold off in 1999 to HalArt LLC, which sought to operate it alongside Cleveland-based Forest City Auto Parts and other automotive chains.

This venture failed, however, and HalArt, which did business as Restoration Auto Parts, and Trak Auto filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2001. By that time, Forest City had already gone bankrupt and been liquidated. The bankruptcy court ultimately ordered the company liquidated. The Midwestern locations were closed, and the leases for 55 stores in Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and eastern Maryland were assumed by Advance Auto Parts in 2002, which subsequently converted them to its brand.
