The United States flag was adopted by the Second Continental Congress in 1977 on June 14. The flag has undergone many changes over the years as new states were added to the Union. The origin of Flag Day is thought to have begun in 1885. A schoolteacher, BJ Cigrand, began celebrating the American flag’s birthday. Each year, this idea spread to more people in many cities until there were celebrations across the country. Eventually, the idea made its way to Washington, DC. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson made a proclamation declaring the establishment of Flag Day. It continued to be celebrated in many cities and was declared official when President Harry Truman signed an act of Congress in 1949, declaring June 14 as the official Flag Day.

AMERICAN FLAG FACTS* The colors in the flag stand for virtues. Red represents valor and hardiness. White stands for innocence and purity. Blue stands for justice, persevernce, and vigilance.* Since 1777, the design on the flag has been changed 27 times.* There are certain rules when displaying the flag. They are as follows: 1. The flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset and if left out overnight, should be lit. 2. Never let the flag touch the ground. 3. When displayed on a window or wall, the blue area should be in the upper left-hand corner. 4. The flag should be raised quickly. However, when lowering it, it should be done with respect and ceremoniously. 5. The flag is flown 24 hours a day, seven days a week in a few places due to Presidential proclamations and laws that have been issued.

Father’s DayWilliam Smart was a Civil War veteran who was widowed when his wife died in childbirth after delivering their sixth child. As an adult, Sonora Smart Dodd (one of Smart’s daughters) admired and appreciated her dad’s selfless love and strength in raising her and her siblings. After listening to a sermon on Mother’s Day in 1910 at her church in Spokane, WA, she wanted to find a way to honor her father. Dodd drew up a petition recommending adoption of a national Father’s Day. She chose the first Sunday of June that year (June 5) because it was her father’s birthday. It wasn’t until 1966 though that President Lyndon Johnson signed a Presidential declaration announcing the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday of June.

Happy Father’s Day to all our amazing Fathers!!!!!!

Steps to Safe & Healthy

Fruits & VegetablesFrom the Store to Your Table

Fruits and vegetables are healthy to eat. But did you know that harmful germs, like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, can sometimes be on fruits and vegetables? There are steps that can help keep you healthy-and your fruits and vegetables safer to eat-from the store to your table.* Check for BruisesChoose fruits and vegetables that are free of bruises or damaged spots, unless you plan to cook them.* Keep Precut Fruits & Veg. ColdChoose precut and packaged fruits and vegetables that are refrigerated or kept on ice.* WashWash your hands before and after preparing fruits and vegetables. Wash or scrub all fruits and vegetables under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking. Fruits and vegetables labeled “prewashed” do not need to be washed.* Keep ColdRefrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables as soon as possible or within 2 hours. Refrigerate within 1 hour if the temperature outside is above 90F.* SeparateStore fruits and vegetables away from and not next to or below, raw meat, poultry, and seafood. These items can drop juices that may have germs. Use a separate cutting board for fruits and veg-etables that is never used for cutting or preparing raw meats, poultry, or seafood. Wash cutting boards, counter tops, and utensils with hot soapy water before and after preparing fruits and vegetables.

The medical term for an enlarged prostate is benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is also known as BPH. It is a condition very common in older men and can cause bothersome urinary symptoms. The enlargement of the prostate gland can block the flow of urine from the bladder and can cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. Half of men over the age of 60 will experience the symptoms from BPH. The percentage increases to 90 percent when men are 85 years of age or older. While BPH causes urinary problems, it does NOT cause cancer, the inablility to conceive children or erectile dysfunction. The most common symptoms of an enlarged prostate are:1. Trouble to start urinating and trouble getting it to completely stop2. The feeling of always having to go the bathroom.This can affect your daily routine like sleeping

3. A weak urine stream4. A sense that your bladder is not completely empty, even after you have just gone to the bathroom BPH is a condition that can’t be prevented, but it can be treated. The treatment will depend on the size of the prostate, the age and the overall health of the patient, and the amount of discomfort that the patient is experiencing. Treatments can vary from medication to surgery. If you are noticing symptoms, please check with your doctor. There are some lifestyle changes that can be implemented for people suffering from the symptoms:* Limit beverages in the evening * Limit caffeine and alcohol, increases production and irritates the bladder and worsen symptoms* Limit decongestants or antihistamines - they tighten the band of muscles around the urethra that controls urine flow, making it harder to urinate* Go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge* Follow a healthy diet* Stay active. Even a small amount of exercise can help reduce urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate.

A woman noticed her husband standing on the bathroom scale, sucking in his stomach. “Ha--! That’s not going to help,” she said. “Sure, it does,” he said. “It’s the only way I can see the numbers.”

While flying from Denver to Kansas City, Kansas, my mother was sitting across the aisle from a woman and her eight-year-old son. Mom couldn’t help laughing as they neared their destination and she heard the mother say to the boy, “Now remember - run to Dad first, then the dog.
