OUR FURRY FRIENDS HAVE ALLERGIES — JUST LIKE WE DO
By Hannah [email protected]; 810-433-6792 Your pet may be sneezing for the same reason you are — he or she has allergies. Dogs’ immune systems can recognize substances as aller-gens, which is what happens when humans develop aller-gies, according to WebMD. When animals are allergic to something, com-ing in contact by inhalation or ingestion can be very dangerous. Animals can be allergic to trees, grass, mold spores, dust, cigarette smoke, certain foods, and other common things. Dogs with allergies can also get bacterial or yeast skin infections. With dogs, allergies are most commonly found in terriers, setters, retrievers, pugs, bulldogs, and Boston terriers. The most common type of pet allergy is atopy, which includes ragweed allergies, and pollen and dust allergies, according to drsfostersmithc.com. When dogs are allergic to a food substance, it shows in their gastrointestinal system with vomiting and diarrhea. Experts at WebMD recommend eliminating certain foods and seeing if symp-toms disappear to figure out what the animal is allergic to. Food allergies account for about 10-15 percent of pet allergies, according to drsfostersmith.com. Dogs usually have more allergies than other animals, said Chris Repke, veterinarian at Pointe Animal Clinic in Fenton, listing golden retrievers, cocker spaniels, bulldogs, and shar pei as the breeds that usually get allergies the most.

n Dogs are more likely to have allergies than other animals, and people often pay hundreds of dollars to treat them.
Pet allergies Identifying allergic reactions and treating themSeasonal allergySymptoms include feet chewing, con-stant licking of flank and groin area, rubbing of the face, inflamed ears, frequent ear infections, hot spots in dogs, facial scabbing in cats, asthma-like breathing problemsFood allergyThe only way to identify a food allergy is by only giving your pet a prescrip-tion or hydrolyzed protein diet for 12 weeks. That means no treats or table food. This diet is free of all possible allergens. Flea allergyTaking measures to prevent fleas from making contact with the dog is most important. Flea allergies flare up around the base of the tail and back legs. Certain prescription shampoos can help with itchiness and redness. Fatty acids supplements may also help.
Symptoms your pet has an allergy• Itchy, red, moist or scabbed skin• Excessive scratching• Itchy, red eyes• Itchy on their back or base of tail• Itchy ears and ear infections• Sneezing• Vomiting• Diarrhea • Snoring caused by an inflamed throat• Paw chewing/swollen paws• Constant licking

LOOKINGBACK at this week
IN LOCAL HISTORY
COMPILED BY VERA HOGAN
5 years …Sunday, June 21, 2010Area bars give mixed reviews to smoking ban. Michigan’s smoking ban in public places is affecting local bars, including fraternal orga-nizations, in different ways. Some are reporting decreased business.
10 years …Sunday, June 26, 2005Township residents furious about dangerous intersections. A fatal accident at the intersection of Lin-den and Lahring roads last Friday afternoon may not have occurred if the recommended four-way flashing red lights and stop signs had been installed by the Genesee County Road Commission.
15 years …Sunday, June 25, 2000To Russia with love. The passage of childhood without a mother, a father or any other family tie is an unbearable thought, and yet, is the reality of orphans around the world. During his third missionary trip to Russia’s Kaliningrad at the end of May, youth Minister Matt Hall of Faith Fellowship Ministries in Fenton Township reached out to orphans, extending a message of hope and love to the children of some 20 centers.
20 years …Sunday, June 25, 1995LHS grad killed by train. The life of a Linden teen came to a tragic end early Friday morning as he played a deadly game of chicken with an oncoming train. The 18-year-old was killed shortly after midnight when he and three girls were swinging off the trestle that crosses the Shiawassee River just west of Ripley Road in Linden and playing chicken with the train. The two girls jumped back and he was hit and killed.
25 years …Sunday, June 24, 1990Abandon ship! Man bails out; boat slams into sea wall. A 22-year-old Byron man was arrested Tuesday night for operating a boat while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The arrest came after the boat he was driving hit a raft and then crashed into a sea wall along the edge of Lake Fenton.
30 years …Sunday, June 23, 1985Trial continues for ex-cop accused of Fentonite’s murder. A Genesee County Circuit Court trial contin-ues here this week for a former Flint police officer, who is charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of a drunken Fenton Township man.
n ‘How to Make Friends and Influence People’ should be required reading By Vera [email protected]; 810-433-6823 About six years ago, I returned to work as a Realtor in the Fenton area. Under the brokerage of Patrik Welty, owner of Legacy Realty Professionals in Fenton, I received a gift that literally keeps on giving. During one of our weekly meetings, Patrik spoke of a book he read, one he said he would never have thought to read because of its age and title — Dale Carn-egie’s ‘How to Make Friends and Influ-ence People.’ I silently agreed that the title makes it sound like a lame, how-to book, not one I would have ever read either. But, because Patrik said it, I was interested enough to obtain a copy and believe me, I could not put it down. That Christmas, Patrik gifted each of his agents with a brand new, hard cover of Carnegie’s book, which remains a
valued possession. Since then, I have acquired additional copies of this book, most recently a like-new hardcover copy from the Goodwill store in Fenton. On Saturday, I visited a yard sale and scored even bigger when I picked up a new hardcover combination of two of Carnegie’s books, the one I just mentioned and ‘How to Stop Worrying and Start Liv-ing.’ I haven’t read the latter yet, but am looking forward to digging in as soon as I can. The practices suggested in Carnegie’s book are simple, common sense and something we should all be doing. I firmly believe that ‘How to Make Friends and Influence People’ should be required reading at the high school level. If every young person was required to read and learn from this book, a lot of the bullying and other nasty, mean foolish-ness that goes on with kids would be cut dramatically. Carnegie’s book teaches several prin-ciples, and he uses historic success stories
Special book reminds us how to be nicerto make his point and prove why they work. The first 10 principles involve a few simple things everyone can do to become a better person. Principles
like don’t criticize, condemn or complain. Give honest, sincere appreciation. Arouse in the other person an ea-ger want. Become genuinely interested in other people. Smile. Remember that a per-son’s name is to that person the most important sound in any language. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about
themselves. Talk in terms of the other person’s interest. Make the other person feel important — and do so sincerely. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. There are more, but you get the idea. We need to learn to be nicer to each other and need to be reminded of that from time to time. That’s why I pick up extras of Carnegie’s book at yard sales and thrift stores — so I can give them away to the people who sometimes need reminding.

COMMONSAYINGS
The stories behind
Have you ever thought about the expressions people use on a daily basis and wonder how they became such a widespread part of the English language? Here are some common sayings and the meaning behind them.
BITE THE BULLETMeaning: Accepting something difficult or unpleasantHistory: There was no time to admin-ister anesthesia before emergency sur-gery during battle. The surgeon made patients bite down on a bullet in an at-tempt to distract them from the pain.
BUTTER SOMEONE UPMeaning: To flatter someoneHistory: An ancient Indian custom in-volved throwing balls of clarified butter at statues of the gods to seek favor.
JAYWALKERMeaning: One who crosses the street in a reckless or illegal manner
History: Jay birds that traveled outside of the forest into urban areas often became confused and unaware of the potential dangers in the city – like traf-
fic. Amused by their erratic behavior, people began using the term “Jaywalker” to describe someone who crossed the street irresponsibly.
CAT GOT YOUR TONGUEMeaning: Something said when a person is at a loss for wordsHistory: There are two possible sources for this common saying. The first refers to the cat-o’-nine-tails – a whip used by the English Navy for flogging. The whip caused so much pain that the victims were left speechless. The second refers to the practice of cutting out the tongues of liars and blasphemers and feeding them to cats.
CAUGHT RED HANDEDMeaning: To be caught doing something wrongHistory: This saying originated because of a law. If someone butchered an animal that didn’t belong to him, he had to be caught with the ani-mal’s blood on his hands to be convicted. Be-ing caught with freshly cut meat did not make the person guilty.
GIVE THE COLD SHOULDERMeaning: A rude way of telling someone he isn’t welcomeHistory: Although giving someone the cold shoulder today is considered rude, it was actually regarded as a polite gesture in medieval England. After a feast, the host would let his guests know it was time to leave by giving them a cold piece of meat from the shoulder of beef, mutton, or pork.
THE WHOLE NINE YARDSMeaning: To try one’s bestHistory: World War II Fighter pilots received a 9-yard chain of ammunition. Therefore, when a pilot used all of his ammunition on one target, he gave it “the whole 9 yards.”
RUB THE WRONG WAYMeaning: To irritate, bother, or annoy someoneHistory: In colonial America, servants were required to wet-rub and dry-rub the oak-board floors each week. Doing it against the grain caused streaks to form, making the wood look awful and irritating the homeowner.
RUN AMOKMeaning: Go crazyHistory: Comes from the Malaysian word amoq, which describes the behavior of tribes-men who, under the influence of opium, became wild, rampag-ing mobs that attacked anybody in their path.
SAVED BY THE BELLMeaning: Rescued from an unwanted situationHistory: As scary as it sounds, being buried alive was once a common occurrence. People who feared succumbing to such a fate were buried in special coffins that connected to a bell above ground. At night, guards listened for any bells in case they had to dig up a living person and save them “by the bell.”
WAKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BEDMeaning: Waking up in a bad moodHistory: The left side of the body or anything having to do with the left was often considered sinister. To ward off evil, innkeepers made sure the left side of the bed was pushed against a wall, so guests had no other option but to get up on the right side of the bed.
SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORSMeaning: To reveal one’s true natureHistory: Warships used to fly multiple flags to con-fuse their enemies. However, the rules of warfare stated that a ship had to hoist its true flag before firing and hence, display its country’s true colors.
GO COLD TURKEYMeaning: To quit something abruptlyHistory: People believed that during withdrawal, the skin of drug addicts became translucent, hard to the touch, and covered with goose bumps – like the skin of a plucked turkey.

n It’s a mistake not to be aware of the dangers of this parasiteBy Hannah [email protected]; 810-433-6792 It’s a cloudy, warm day and you’re walk-ing your dog in the park. You’re immersed in nature with trees arching over the trails, the sound of the stream in the distance, and your dog stops to sniff almost every tree. You don’t mind. It’s a beautiful day. However, you don’t think about the blood-sucking creature waiting to crawl on your dog, or your exposed ankles. You don’t think about how it could give you or your dog Lyme disease in 24 hours. It’s a mistake not to think about ticks. A few popular myths include the fol-lowing: • Ticks are only a threat during warm, humid seasons. • Ticks jump on humans and animals to suck their blood. • There’s a good chance you’ll get Lyme disease if a tick bites you. Actually, ticks are active during winter, often crawl instead of jump, and transmit Lyme disease less than commonly believed. These parasites are arachnids, close rela-tives to spiders, and can bite animals and humans. The three most common types, blacklegged ticks (deer ticks), American dog ticks, and lone star ticks can attach to a human or animal’s skin and feed off their blood. A tick’s size varies on the type and stage in its life cycle: egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph, or adult, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). After hatching from an egg, they need blood at every stage to survive. Exposure to ticks is high in the woods because they like to live in bushes and trees, and the fringe area between the woods and the border. Ticks need moisture to survive and are often found near water, such as a stream or a pond. Most people don’t realize that 75 percent of ticks are picked up at the home. Just feet from your house, ticks can be found living in woods, under bushes and vegetation and may jump or crawl to attach to someone or something. American dog ticks are the biggest and most common. They can transmit the Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia, if attached to a human or animal.
Ticks — the myths and dangersLyme disease• In 2013, there were 114 confirmed cases and 54 probable cases of Lyme disease in Michigan.• About 30,000 cases of Lyme dis-ease in the U.S. are reported every year.Symptoms• fever • headache • fatigue • bullseye-like skin rashAs the disease progresses, it can cause a stiff neck, joint pain, tingling or numbness in arms or legs, and facial paralysis.Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
PreventionRepel in and out of the home.Use insecticides like permethrin or N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) to get rid of ticks. Always conduct tick checks while returning inside.Use the sunTicks can’t survive in an environment lower than 80 percent humidity for more than eight hours. Reduce tick exposure on a play set by keeping it in the sun. Monitor the landscapeIf you live near woods that are home to animals like deer, mice, and woodchucks that pick up ticks, make sure those animals don’t come near your house. Source: livescience.com
The blacklegged tick, the smallest of ticks, bites humans and animals in the win-ter months. They crawl, not jump. About 50 percent of blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease and they must be attached to skin for 24-48 hours to transmit it to humans and animals. The lone star tick is mainly found in southeastern U.S. and cannot transmit Lyme disease, but can transmit ehrlichiosis and southern tick-associated rash illness. They’re becoming more prevalent in Michigan, according to michigan.gov, and
can be found in wooded areas with populations of white-tailed deer. Moreover, the risk of a tick bite increases in late spring and summer, according to the CDC. Don’t stop walking your dog in the park — just be careful you aren’t picking up unwanted pets along the way.

BLACKLEGGED TICKPET ALLERGIESContinued from Page 1B “Probably 20 percent or so of my patient visits are allergy related. It’s seasonal, especially this time of year it’s more than that,” he said. Among seasonal, food, and flea, seasonal allergies are most common, followed by flea allergies. “The itching and scratching and redness is the biggest sign, whether it’s with ears or skin,” he said. The itchi-ness usually happens in the ear, armpit, groin or feet. There’s also an odor. Having a pet that has allergies can be expensive if the allergy isn’t easily treated. Some people spend hundreds of dollars on their pet because of al-lergies. “With allergies, where we tend to get itchy eyes, our dogs tend to get more ear issues and skin issues,” Repke said. He said medicine for skin issues can range in cost and application. Some animals just need an antihistamine, but with more serious allergies, they may need steroids. There’s an oral version of steroids that’s reasonably priced. “Steroids aren’t usually too ex-pensive,” Repke said. “It varies by weight.” People may not know their pet has allergies. “If you have a guy who gets chronic ear infections, those are often allergy related as well,” he said. For approxi-mately $30, a veterinarian will take a swab from the ear, put it under the microscope, and see if it’s yeast or bacteria. “Then you know what type of medication (you need),” Repke said. The best way to prevent a flea allergy flare-up is putting a topical solution on the nape of the neck. Pointe Animal Clinic uses Vectra, which costs approx-imately $25 per dose and per month. “If you’ve got a persistent itch, especially if you’re getting hair loss, redness of skin, and scabs, or a lot of discharge and head shaking then you should take them and have their vet take a look and see what they need to be on from there,” Repke said.

Tick removalWhen removing a tick, it’s crucial not to break the head. Tweezers will work, but using a cotton swab is a definite way to make sure the entire tick is removed. Dampen the cotton swab and gently apply pressure to the surrounding area of the skin, while pushing the tick in a circle on its head, like twisting off an apple stem.

nLocal, family-owned storage business now offers more than 300 units, plus outdoor spacesBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 If storage units could talk, what a story they would tell. People move for new jobs, while others go into military service. Some people store their classic cars, while oth-ers use storage in the winter for their summer recreational hobbies and in the summer for their winter hobbies. Storage is big busi-ness right now and no one knows that more than Jim and Carey Abraham, owners of Abe’s Storage in Holly. “We’ve almost doubled our indoor storage capacity, from 160 units to more than 300,” said Abraham, who bought the business five years ago. This expansion has included the ad-dition of three 6,200-square-foot build-ings that feature “drive-up” style units in varying sizes all the way from 5x10
Abe’s Storage doubles its indoor capacityto 12x30, so people can conveniently load in and out of the units directly from their vehicle. Abe’s Storage also offers video surveillance, on-site management six days a week, phone availability 24/7 and an automated gate. Catering primarily to residential cus-tomers, Abe’s Storage also has a num-ber of businesses customers who use units daily. In addition, there’s plenty
of room for outdoor storage of boats, motor homes, etc. “We were 100 per-cent occupied before the expansion and now we have room for peo-ple,” said Abraham. “We offer a low price guarantee that will beat any competitive price
on a storage unit in the local area.” Abe’s Storage also offers U-Haul equipment rentals, along with sales of moving and packing supplies.

nAbout two dozen 2015 high school graduates in tri-county area plan to join armed forcesBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Michael Emington, 18, is following in his family’s footsteps while pursuing his own dreams by enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. “Both my grandpas and my dad were in the military,” so it’s something important in my family,” said this 2015 Linden High School graduate. “I’ve been interested in planes since I was 10 years old.” He is one of about two dozen tri-county area 2015 high school graduates who have announced plans to join the military following graduation. Other LHS graduates with military plans include Nicole Tester, U.S. Air Force; Brett Taylor, U.S. Army and Alex Monticelli, U.S. National Guard. Fenton High School graduates planning to enter military service are: U.S. Army — Wynn Johnson, Andrew Moore and Tyler Rice; U.S. Marines — Allanah Doig, Matthew Flowers, Case McLaughlin-Smith, Bryce Roney and Dominic Weiss; U.S. Air Force — Michael McCowan and Braedon McMaster. Holly High School graduates planning to enter the military are: U.S. Navy — Mat-thew Malay and James Welch; U.S. Army — Ja-cob Kusluski and Travis Hopson; U.S. Marines — Alexander Hansel; U.S. Air Force — Timothy Houck; U.S. National Guard — Austin Nich-olson. Emington will be working on flight control systems on the C-5s, the largest cargo planes in the Air Force, following high technical scores on the ASVAB — the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. “You have to have a score of 50 and score better than half the people
nLinden’s newest eatery presents global menu using many local suppliersBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 People today like to know where their food is coming from. That’s just one of the reasons for the success of downtown Linden’s newest eatery, Bridge 117 Café, which opened in January. “Our emphasis is on fresh food provided by local purveyors,” said owner Jim Lengel. He is proud to use products from Crust, Mason Jar Coffee Co., Banana Brothers Produce, Abbott’s Meats and eggs from local farms. “We will also utilize foods from local farmers markets, too, as they’re in season.” The Bridge 117 Café menu is a mix of foods that Lengel himself really en-joys, from a Pork Milanese Torta with a Mexican flair to Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich sensation. “Our menu has items on it that I’d make for people if I was cooking for them at home,” he said. “My goal is to present a palate of flavors that wakes everything up — a mix of sweet, sour, spicy and savory, all in a tight, purposeful menu.” Lengel is confident that everything that leaves his kitchen is presented at-tractively and tastefully, because he
Bridge 117 Café emphasizes ‘fresh’ menuis the one actually preparing the food. “Everything here is prepared in-house, from marinades and dressings to the finished product,” he said. “We focus on consistent, excellent food.” His background is in economics and marketing, with a lifelong passion for cooking. “I grew up watching Julia Child,” said Lengel, 52. “I went to cook-ing school in Baltimore (Maryland) and
opened up restaurants in the D.C. area and Boul-der, Colorado.” Lengel and his wife, Alicia Kitsuse, moved here in 2010 from Los Angeles for Kitsuse’s work as an urban planner with the Mott Founda-tion. “I had been a cabinet
shop owner in Los Angeles for 13 years,” said Lengel. The couple has one son, Christopher, now 13. “This restaurant brings together all my skills,” said Lengel, looking with pride at the restaurant tables and front counter he built with his own hands. He added that everyone in the business community has been very supportive of his efforts. “The city has also been very helpful,” he said. “There are a lot of positive things hap-pening in Linden right now.”

TRI-COUNTY TIMES | TIM JAGIELO
Bridge 117 owner Jim Lengel serves lunch to a customer last week. His unique brand of fusion dining, made from scratch, is enhanced by the interior that he designed and constructed himself
who’ve taken the test,” said Emington. He scored an 80. Leaving for basic training at Lack-land Air Force Base in San Antonio on Aug. 18, Emington is excited to begin his career plans. “I just want to travel and enjoy what I do in the Air Force,” said Emington, the son of Joe Eming-
ton of Macomb County and Julie Anderson of Linden. “I didn’t want to sit behind a desk.” Lake Fenton High School graduate Cody Jagielski, 18, of Linden, is looking to start the next chapter of his life with a chance to do some-thing positive while working toward a college education. He decided to join the Air Force, signing up for a six-year commitment. “If I go for six years, I will have taken enough classes for a bachelor’s degree or several associate’s degrees,” said Jagielski. “I can complete them after the six years under the GI Bill.” The son of Todd Jagielski
and Lori Martin, both of Linden, Ja-gielski is hoping to work in the area of cyber surety after basic training and technical training. His future goal is a computer science career. “This is the next part of my life. I’m excited.” These tri-county area young people are among the 180,000 who enlist in active military duty every year,
according to defense.gov. The armed forces have become a much more competitive play-ing field than in previous years, with the military currently only accept-ing 20 percent of walk-in applicants, according to military.com. Higher caliber applicants, more stringent requirements, fewer active duty service members and health rea-
sons like asthma and obesity have cre-ated more competition for applicants. The most common cause for rejection is obesity, with almost 30 percent of young Americans too overweight to join the military.
Military is next step for some local graduates

• Father, grandfather• Restaurant owner• Cancer survivorBy Vera [email protected]; 810-433-6823 Mark W. Rummel, age 65, is a res-taurant owner. He lives near downtown Fenton with his wife, Sally. They have been happily married for 37 years.Where did you grow up? I grew up in the Thumb Area, near Bay City, in Sebewaing.What did you enjoy about your grow-ing up years? The great small town at-mosphere, complete with baseball, school plays, band and starting a rock garage band in high school.How did you and Sally meet? We were both working at The Times Herald in Port Huron. A mutual friend told us we should go out. We did.Tell us about your children. Our daughter Sarah is 34 and happily married to hubby Andy, a dentist, with daughter
Ava, 4, and son Gavin, 1. They live in Bay City. She’s a mom and dental hygienist. Our son Andrew is 30 and happily married to wife Maiya. They live in Ferndale. He works for a Japanese auto supplier.Tell us about your grandchil-dren. We love spending as much time with them as possible. We enjoy sitting for them when their parents go out. What is special about your children and grandchildren? I have two kinds of children, our “real” two grown kids and literally hundreds of “Mancino’s kids,” who we’ve worked with since 1998. Giv-ing people their first job helps set good people on a good path. We’ve always
“Expect the unexpected. Enjoy the life experience. After all, nobody is getting out alive.”
Mark Rummel
TRI-COUNTY TIMES TIM JAGIELO
Mancino’s of Fenton co-owner Mark Rummel’s heart still belongs to the newspaper business. Along with wife Sally, he
worked for 29 years as an owner and publisher in
Michigan’s thumb area.
MeetMark Rummel
tried to do more than just have employees here. And it’s working — we’re still in touch with dozens of them, and many are still our customers.What did you do prior to Mancino’s? I worked at our family newspaper in Sebe-waing, later as editor of Central Michigan Life in Mount Pleasant, as a reporter at The Saginaw News, ad sales, promo-tion and circulation director at The Times Herald in Port Huron and then owned our own weekly paper in Pigeon, also in the Thumb, which became The Newsweekly and The Thumb Blanket. The neat thing is, I’ve worked for three of Michigan’s/America’s biggest newspaper companies, including The Walt Disney Company. We were Disney employees while living in a town of 1,200 people.Why did you leave the business? We could see the future wasn’t bright for small newspapers, and I wanted to be my own boss again.
How long have you owned Mancino’s in Fenton? We moved our family here in 1998 to open the restaurant. We’re ready to start our 18th year next month.Why Mancino’s? It worked for me. There are about 80 Mancino’s restaurants in the Midwest — each one a little different from the others. But the first thing I learned is that the restaurant business is brutal. There are long hours, difficult work and thin profit margins. Several national chains in Fenton have closed.What do you like best about living and working in this community? Fenton is a great place to live and work. We love being here, near the center of Michigan. Plus, our children live only an hour away in two directions, and other family mem-bers are nearby, too.What do you like to do in your spare time? I’m a trainwatcher and a reader. I love train travel and going to nearby rail centers to watch trains. My current project is digitizing 110 years of the local newspa-pers from Sebewaing and Pigeon. There is so much history there, and people will be able to search all the old issues. The whole project will probably cost $25,000 and we’re seeking help. Also, I’ve played in oldies bands for more than 20 years, as a drummer. My high school band played on the same stage with Bob Seger one night back in 1967. That was memorable.Tell us something no one knows about you? I’m a four-year cancer survivor, after losing my bladder, prostate, a kidney and more. I feel great today. I’m grateful to the good Lord for that.Today is Father’s Day. What is your best advice to new fathers of today? First, enjoy the very special gift of being a dad. Your children will be little for such a short time, and having a dad involved in their lives is so important to them. Being a dad is so much fun, but kids grow up so fast. I tell my “Mancino’s kids,” who wonder about their future, remember the person you were four years ago, the things you liked, favorite hobbies, music, etc. The person you will be in four years from now will be much different than you are today, so it’s hard to predict what your interests will be then. Expect the unex-pected. Enjoy the life experience. After all, nobody is getting out alive.Best value in the area!
