Garden Tour To Benefit Historic Fasig House MANHEIM (Lancaster Co.) Manheim His torical Society’s Annual Garden Tour features nine gardens, Sunday, June 22,1 to 5 p.m. Tick ets ordered in advance are $6, on tour day $B. Children under 12 years of age are free with an adult. Family Living Focus by Nancy Crago Allegheny Co. Cooperative Extension Sunday, June 15, is Father’s Day in the United States. The idea for having a day to celebrate fathers is credited to a woman named Louisa Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington. After listening to a Mother’s Day sermon at her church in 1909, Mrs. Dodd was inspired to begin a petition for a day to honor fathers. She appreciated and valued the strength of her own father who had selflessly raised her and five siblings after her mother died in childbirth. The first Father’s Day observ ance was held in Washington in 1910, then spread to other cities across the country. It is now a na tional holiday that is celebrated the third Sunday in June. This is not only the time when we honor our fathers, but many of the other men in our family grandfathers and grandsons, brothers and uncles, sons and stepsons, fathers-in-law and step fathers. Throughout their lives and ours, men make unique con tributions to strengthen the link ages in our families. There are men who treat all family members the same regard less of their ages. In our family it’s my son. He respects the views of his 13-year-old nephew the same as those of his 86-years old grandmother. He also contributes by demonstrating his love and caring for other family members with special words, hugs or a kiss at the right time. Other men contribute by being there when needed, acting as teachers or mentors. A grandfa ther spending time with his grandchildren and listening to their problems, an older brother teaching a younger family mem ber how to ride a bike, a stepfath er helping his stepchild with his homework, or an uncle spending time at the playground with his nieces and nephews are good ex amples of ways men model fa thering and contribute to family life. not are Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 14, 2003-B' Celebrating Men In Our Families Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at Longenecker’s Hardware, Salon Synergy and Shaub’s Dry Cleaning, or at any of the garden sites the day of the tour, as well as the gazebo on Manheim Square.
