Nan’s News

Shortly after we moved in to our new office, I walked into the break room and thought it odd that the

waste basket by the door was nearly full of water. There didn‘t appear to be any water anywhere else. I called

the property manager and maintenance was there in a flash—it was an AC condensation leak. A couple weeks

ago when I arrived in the office and stepped into the break room, water was all over the floor-BIG condensation

leak. Thank goodness for responsive property managers and maintenance personnel.

The winter of 2009 got the best of our magnolia tree. I talked with Cousin Linda of TLC Greenhouse

and Nursery to see if it could be brought back to life. She told me to water it and feed it every week and after

about 2 years, it will revive. Well I watered and fed and then one day Jack called me to report that I would not

be happy when I got home—the guy who mows our lawn—had—you guessed it—cut down the dead tree.

Happy, I was not! So after a conversation with Samuel I started watering the stump—now I have a magnolia

bush—and it is blooming. I‘m so happy!

Jack and I played golf a couple weeks ago. Had a pretty good round—was so excited that on a par five I

was on the green in two—I won‘t tell the rest of the story…I have come to the place with my game, that I enjoy

playing but I don‘t spend the time practicing which for me is what is needed to have a low score. I appreciate

what Jack says ―it‘s my ball, I can hit it as many times as I want‖ and since it is my scorecard, I can write down

whatever I want as well. I like this kind of golf...a lot!

Our surrogate son, Brian, was home from Rochester a few days last month. I enjoyed lunch at Ted‘s

with him. I am so proud of him. He looks great and he is happy that he will be working in the Physics

Department doing research on….It‘ll come to me...sounds interest-

ing. It is hard to believe that he is already a junior. Seems like he

just left for college yesterday. Hopefully he‘ll be home a couple

weeks between summer session and the fall semester and I‘ll be able

to spend more time with him.

Wishing all you Dad‘s a wonderful Father’s Day! May

your day be special!!

Fathers Day, June 19 The world ―father‖ comes from the Old English

word ―foeder‖, and ―dad‖ is believed to be a variation of

the Welsh word ―tad‖, which also means ―father‖. Ac-

cording to a survey by the Public Broadcasting System,

79 percent of kids call the father figure in their lives

―dad‖ or ―daddy‖; 3 percent call them by their first

name; 1 percent call them ‗father‖.

Coffee: Good for more

than waking up early That cup of coffee that gets

you going in the morning—or keeps

you energetic in the afternoon—may

have some positive health benefits.

Though no one is recommending mas-

sive does of caffeine, coffee in mod-

eration may be good for more than just

keeping you awake and alert. Here‘s a

look at some of the research:

Gallstones. Some scientists believe that drinking cof-

fee may reduce a person‘s risk of developing gall-

stones by stimulating gallbladder contractions and

lowering concentrations of cholesterol in bile.

Kidney stones. Studies have suggested that coffee

consumption (caffeinated or decaf) cuts a person‘s

chances of developing kidney stones by as much as 10

percent.

Diabetes. Research involving more than 450,000 pa-

tients indicates that drinking four cups of coffee or tea

a day may reduce one‘s risk for Type 2 diabetes by 25-

35 percent.

Parkinson’s Disease. Men who don‘t drink coffee

are apparently five times as likely to develop Parkin-

son‘s Disease as those who consume lots of coffee—

though the link between coffee and Parkinson‘s hasn‘t

been definitely established. Studies with women have

been inconclusive.

Just don‘t go overboard. Doctors recommend

drinking no more than 24 ounces of coffee a day. That‘s

four 6-oz cups (bet you didn‘t know that——duh!)

Congratulations!!!!

Flag Day, June 14 Flag Day was established in the 1800‘s to recognize the

importance of this cherished symbol. One of the most

powerful images following the terrorist attacks of Septem-

ber 11, 2001, was a photograph of three fire fighters raising

an American flag amid the ruins of the World Trade Cen-

ter. Many people assume the flag was one that had flown

on the building‘s observation deck and was recovered from

the rubble, but it was actually from a yacht docked in the

Hudson River marina at the time of the tragedy.

One of the New York city fire fighters spied the

flag and carried it (and its pole) back to Ground Zero.

There, two others helped him raise it. The fire fighters did

it to raise moral after digging for six hours without

finding survivors.

A photographer from a New Jersey newspaper

caught the scene. Many papers and magazines ran the

photo, which became a symbol of America‘s resolve in the

face of calamity. The flag itself is now on display at the

American History Museum, part of the Smithsonian Insti-

tution in Washington, D.C.

A Bridge to Success...In the 19th century, engineers

doubted they‘d ever be able to build a bridge across the

Niagara Falls. The problem: They couldn‘t see any way to

get a line from one side of the great gorge to the other so

that they could begin the project. No boat could cross the

river without being pulled over the powerful falls. The

other common method, shooting a line from one shore to

the other with a bow and arrow, was impossible because

the gap was too wide.

An engineer named Charles Ellet had an idea: He

sponsored a kite-flying contest. The prize was $5 to who-

ever could maneuver a kite across the gorge and lower it to

a height where someone on the other side could grab the

string and use it to secure a line that joined the two sides.

With that line in place, he could begin building the bridge.

Great ideas connect dreams with achievement—and

often do so with simple tools.

Joan Welsh

“We’ve always done it that way” A management consultant was hired by a

manufacturer in Britain to help improve its general

operating efficiency. At one plant near London, she

spent weeks reviewing daily reports that tracked pro-

ductivity, absenteeism, machine failure, etc.

The reports were filled out by hand (the plant

was small) on a photocopied form. At the top of the

form the consultant noticed a small box that was al-

ways filled out with the number zero. The form had

been photocopied from the original so many times that

she couldn‘t make out the instructions beneath the

box.

When she asked, the plant manager shrugged.

―There‘s always been a zero in that box,‖ he said.

―That‘s what they told me to put there when I started.

I don‘t really know why, but there must be a good rea-

son for it.‖

As the consultant finished her work, she was

checking some file cabinets when she discovered what

looked like the original form, dating back to World

War II. Intrigued, she looked at the box to see what

important data it was meant to track, and how it was

relevant to the plant‘s current operations.

Then she realized the flaw in ―We‘ve always

done it that way.‖

Underneath the box were the words: ―Number

of air raids today.‖

Questions for you…

1. Throw me off the highest building and I will not

break; put me in the ocean and I fall apart. What

am I?

2. You use a knife to slice me but then weep when I

am cut. What am I?

3. I am weightless, but you can see me. Put me in a

bucket and I make it lighter. What am I?

4. I‘m where yesterday follows today and tomor-

row‘s in the middle. What am I?

5. I go all around the world but stay in the corner.

What am I?

6. I have holes in the top and bottom, on the left and

right, and in the middle, but I still hold water.

What am I?

7. No sooner spoken than broken. What am I?

8. You throw away the outside and eat the inside.

Then you eat the outside and throw away the in-

side. What am I?

9. You can catch me but not throw me. What am I?

10. I get wetter and wetter the more I dry. What am I?

Do you know someone who wants

to buy or sell a home!

Let us help them just like we helped

you! Referrals of your family and

friends are always appreciated.

Congratulations….May you enjoy your special day and have a wonderful year!

For the Graduates. “A final exam for the

birds…

Paul was majoring in zoology at college. One semes-

ter he took a course in the study of birds. The night be-

fore the final exam, Paul studied until he had the text-

book nearly memorized. He knew his class notes back-

ward and forward. He was eager to take the exam, cer-

tain of getting a good grade.

The morning of the exam, Paul took a seat in the

front row of the big auditorium where the class was

held. Over 100 students were in the class with him. On

a table at the front was arrow of 10 stuffed birds, each

one with sack covering its body so that only the legs

were showing.

The professor announced, ―For this test, which

counts for 80 percent of your final grade, I want you to

identify each bird up here by its legs, and then discuss

its species, natural habitat, and mating patterns. You

may begin.‖

Paul stared at the birds. All the legs looked the same

to him. After spending half the exam period in growing

frustration as he tried to determine which bird was

which, he picked up his exam and threw it on the profes-

sor‘s desk,

―This is ridiculous!‖ he shouted. ―I studied the text-

book and my notes all night, and now you‘re asking me

to name these birds by looking at their legs? Forget it!‖

The professor picked up the exam booklet and

saw that it was blank. ―What‘s your name, young man‖?

With that, Paul yanked on leg of his pants up. ―Why

don‘t you tell me?‖

Risk is what separates

the good part of life

from the tedium.

Retail Impacts Regional Economy More than 79,000 people are employed in retail with the

Oklahoma City Metro (MSA)

Retail jobs account for $1.95 billion in employee com-

pensation

Retail sales in 2010 equaled $11.9 billion for Oklahoma

City MSA

Retail sales for the metro have grown by 52% since 2000

Sales tax revenue for the City of Oklahoma City ex-

ceeded $350 million in 2010

(stats from OKC Chamber ―The Point‖)

Let’s fly away...for the first time since 2007, the Will Rogers

World Airport has added a new nonstop service. United Airlines can now take

Oklahoma City passengers nonstop to San Francisco.

Tools such as low unemployment, evidence of companies hiring and an

increase in per capita income helped the airport staff to make this deal possible.

The Chamber‘s economic development staff assisted the airport staff in market-

ing Oklahoma City to United Airlines.

―Growing the number of nonstop flights from Oklahoma City is an im-

portant part of our economy‘s growth,‖ said Roy H. Williams, Chamber presi-

dent and CEO. ―I‘m confident that as our economy continues to improve and

our city‘s image gains positive momentum, we will be able to add other major

cities to the list with San Francisco.‖

First day of summer...are you ready to celebrate?

Summer begins in 2011 on June 21 with the summer solstice, the day

when the Earth‘s axis tilts our northern hemisphere most prominently

toward the sun. (In the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice will

occur on Dec. 22, 2011.) On this day, the sun will reach its highest point

in the sky, and afterward the daylight hours will grow shorter.

The solstice has been a time of celebration and ritual in cultures

around the world throughout history. At Stonehenge, a visitor standing

in the center of the stone circle can see the sun rising directly over the

Hell Stone, located just outside the ring of stones. The Egyptian Great

Pyramids were built in such a way that an observer standing near the

Sphinx can watch the sun set directly between two of the Pyramids. Celts and Slavs celebrated the event with bon-

fires and dancing to help the sun increase its strengths. The Native American Hopi tribe had males dress as dancing

spirits of rain and fertility known as Kachinas; the Kachinas were messengers between humanity and the gods who

left the villages at midsummer to live in the mountains where they were said to visit the dead.

The ancient Druids‘ belief that the solstice represented the wedding of heaven and Earth is responsible for

the tradition of brides planning a lucky June wedding.

What your father told you is still true...On

Father‘s Day, we remember those words of wisdom that

Dad passed down to us –whether we listened to him or

not:

On Intelligence “Use that thing on your shoulders

for something other than a hat rack!‖

On Pouting ―If you stick that lip out any further, a

bird will come along and poop on it.‖

On Problems ―if you don‘t want the hole to get any

deeper, stop digging!‖

On Life ―Appreciate scenery, art work, and a rainy Sun-

day. And always keep your gas tank full.‖

On Success ―I learned a lot from my father, especially

about business. Probably the best advice I ever had

came from him. He had a four step formula for getting

things done: Get in. Get it done. Get it done right. And

get out.‖ (Donald Trump)
