June 2015A Day for DadsOn the third Sunday in June, we celebrate the
fathers in our lives. Happy Father’s Day to allthe dads out there!
Wit and Wisdom“By the time a man realizes that maybe his
father was right, he usually has a son whothinks he’s wrong.”
—Charles Wadsworth“I won’t lie to you; fatherhood isn’t easy like
motherhood.”—Homer Simpson“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so
ignorant I could hardly stand to have the oldman around. But when I got to be 21, I wasastonished at how much he had learned inseven years.”
—Mark Twain“Fatherhood is pretending the present you
love most is soap-on-a-rope.”—Bill Cosby“When I was a kid, I used to imagine animals
running under my bed. I told my dad, and hesolved the problem quickly. He cut the legs offthe bed.”
—Lou Brock“The most important thing a father can do for
his children is to love their mother.”—Theodore Hesburgh
Revel in RaspberriesJuicy and sweet, raspberries also reign supreme
when it comes to their fiber content. At 8 grams percup, the berry is the top fiber source among fruits andvegetables. Add them to a morning bowl of oatmeal orcereal, and you’ll get a good portion of yourrecommended daily amount.
Citrus ServerWant a fun way to serve ice cream or fruit salad? Cut
an orange or other citrus fruit in half, then hollow itout. Freeze the peel to use as an unconventional bowl.
Nature’s Best DadsAnimals don’t often get
nominated for father of the year,so let’s hear it for several whoshould. Happy Father’s Day to:
Emperor penguins. Femalesneed to feed and refuel afterlaying eggs, leaving males toincubate the eggs in the frigidAntarctic. For two months, thepenguin dads balance an egg ontheir feet, protecting it with theirbrooding pouches. After thechicks hatch, the fathers feedthem a milk-like substance untilthe mothers return.
Marmosets. Thesetree-dwelling primates often givebirth to twins or triplets. Whenthe babies are a few weeks old,the father steps in to help raisethe young—feeding, groomingand carrying them on his back.
Mourning doves. Thesemonogamous birds team up torear their broods. After workingtogether to build a nest, Dad sitson the eggs from morning toafternoon, then Mom takes overuntil dawn. Both take turnsfeeding their hatchlings.
Sea catfish. Unlike most fish,this bewhiskered father refusesto leave his offspring to fend forthemselves. In fact, he protectsthe fertilized eggs and thehatchlings in his mouth formonths, forgoing food thewhole time.
Wolves. While the she-wolfguards pups in the den, thefather—her mate for life—huntsfor the family. Later, he acts as aprotective mentor.
Laundry EtiquetteWhen you’re doing laundry in
our facilities, please change theloads promptly and clean thelint filters so the machines aremade available to others. Also,utilize only two washers ordryers at one time. The otherwaiting tenants will appreciateyour consideration! Thank you.
BENCHESPlease do not leave unwanted
clothes or food on the benchesnear the elevators. Dispose ofthese items in the dumpster. Thebenches were placed there fortenants to sit on while they waitfor the elevators.
Grapes Are a Great SnackIf you’re trying to control
your weight and reduce hunger,grab a bunch of grapes. They’rehigh in water content and evencontain some fiber, resulting ina filling bite-size snack that’slow in calories. On top of that,grapes contain manganese andvitamins A, C and K, whichbuild healthy bones. Whethergreen or red, grape skins containthe flavonoid resveratrol, whichis thought to help prevent heartdisease, cancer and Alzheimer’sdisease.
BEAUTY IS ABROADBeauty is abroad the land
today,In the wild flowers blooming
along the way,In the changing green in the
light of the trees,Its voice is heard in the
whispering breeze,In the rippling stream as it
guides along,In the happy mates of the
birds sweet song,It climbs a hill, glides over
the ridgeand spans a stream at a rustic
bridge,Oh beauty is abroad today, In
many ways,It smiles and beckons along
the wayIt dances daily in a field
of flowersIt’s flung like a robe over
pastures greenIt rides a cloud on a pale
moonbeam,It’s hiding deep in the heart
of a roseIt lurks in the field where the
violet growsOh beauty is abroad today.And it’s forever there beside
the way.by Christi McMath
A Tribute to theAmerican Flag
For many of us, the memoryof reciting the Pledge ofAllegiance in school is acommon one. Fittingly,America’s classrooms were thereason for the pledge’s creation.
In 1892, Francis Bellamy wasa staff member of “The Youth’sCompanion,” a popularchildren’s magazine. He wastasked with creating a patrioticprogram for the nation’s publicschools to celebrate the400th anniversary ofChristopher Columbus’ arrivalin the New World. A keycomponent of the program wasa tribute to the American flagthat students would recite
together. Bellamy drafted theoriginal pledge: “I pledgeallegiance to my flag and therepublic for which it stands, onenation, indivisible, with libertyand justice for all.”
In October of that year,millions of schoolchildrenparticipated in the festivities,and in time, the pledge becamea part of classroom routine.Through the years, the pledgehas been slightly modified to thewords we know today. In June1942, it was included in theU.S. Flag Code, and in 1945, theofficial name, the Pledge ofAllegiance, was adopted.
