June 15 marks Fathers Day. Its one of the unsung holidays and so a little history of this day is due.

In the year 1910, a woman name Sonora Smart Dodd in Spokane, Washington USA decided she wanted to commemorate her father, a Civil War veteran named William Jackson Smart. He was a single parent who had raised six children. Dodd had heard a sermon delivered the year before by Anna Jarvis who initiated Mothers Day, and told the pastor of her church that they should have a similar holiday for fathers. She initially suggested June 5, her own fathers birthday. However, there wasnt enough time to prepare and so the day was assigned to the third Sunday of June. It is this date that is still celebrated, both in America and in Vietnam, as the day to honor the role of fathers.

And what an important role it is. Throughout history and in many different societies, the brunt of the work of child rearing falls to the mother. It is not uncommon for the space of the father is a modern family to be a negative space. Which is all the more reason to emphasize the role of the father in the family. Not just as the moneymaker or the decision maker, but as the loving care giver too.

As families modernize, the roles and responsibilities of both parents are becoming more equal, or less clearly defined. Mothers and fathers work together to raise children, but the traditional rules for whom does which part are blurring. Fathers Day is thus a good day to celebrate the non-traditional roles that fathers fulfill, whether that be the stay-at-home dads, or the ones who cook breakfast. Maybe for this Fathers Day, you could be the one who cooks breakfast for your father. Or visit Press Club and let someone else do it for your father.

11MAY


Secretary. Though the definition of the word may be simple, a person employed to assist in record keeping and appointment making, the real work of a secretary can go far beyond what is written in the job description. Counselor, therapist, coach, calendar keeper, event organizer, social planner. To some extent a really good personal assistant can be like some percentage of the employers brain. There are countless facts and details that one need not keep in their memory if they can rely on someone else to do so for them.

Which is all to say, if you are lucky and important enough to have a secretary, know that their work is (perhaps) as vital as one of your bodily organs.

To me, what is most important about Secretarys Day is not to be condescending. And perhaps the most dangerous thing about being condescending is not realizing when you are being condescending. For example, it is condescending to ignore the hard work that someone does for an entire year and then give them flowers one day and that is all they need to make them

happy. It is condescending for a compliment about work ethic and professional ability to include how pretty they are, or how lovely their smile is. Of course, those are nice compliments to get. But the physical appearance of a person should probably not, in the opinion of this writer, factor in to the shower of praise that is given to them on their special day of the year. Maybe it is difficult to see what is wrong with calling someone beautiful when complimenting their work. A persons looks are after all an indispensible part of what we perceive when we interact with them. However, to focus on appearances on a day that is meant to celebrate the hard work that is done professionally, can take away from the dignity and importance of that work. In fact, in some places in the world, the word secretary has come to be considered an inappropriate word for what it denotes about the level of importance of the job. Instead, the name of the day is Administrative Professionals Day.

The day is celebrated differently in different parts of the world, but usually includes social gatherings, gift exchange, or corporate activities. Perhaps we can think about an alternative way to celebrate Secretarys Day this year. Yes, there is nothing at all wrong with giving flowers and nice notes and thank you cards. But one other option might be to open up your calendar (granted you have one separate from the one your secretary keeps) and pick one day, randomly, to bring flowers to work to show your gratitude. After all, might it mean something more significant if the flowers or the praise came on a day that was not internationally recognized as the day you are supposed to bring flowers?

This year, Secretarys Day falls on April 23. It might be a lovely idea to pick one other day in the year to remember to recognize the work of those people on whom you depend. And while were at it, perhaps we can even start to think about how we celebrate Womens Day as well.

Preparation: Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Lay the pie crust in the cocotte. Saut the onions and bacon in butter, add thyme and parsley to taste. Cool and mix the cheese, put it on top of the pie crust in the cocotte.

Mix the cream with eggs and stir well. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour the mixture over the cheese until covered. Add the tomatoes on top and bake at 218 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 150 and continue to bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. Serve with a crispy summer salad and a glass of Chardonnay!

March 29, 8:30pM

It seems a bit absurd to only dedicate one hour a year to the planet that gives us breathable air, drinkable water, and life itself, day in and day out, for billions of years now. Nevertheless, one hour of real attention is better than no hour at all.

Earth Hour, first recognized as a lights off event in Sydney, Australia in 2007, has since grown to include the participation of 7000 cities worldwide. It is an event to encourage families, businesses, and towns, to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour. Usually held toward the end of March, Earth Hour this year falls on March 29, from 8:30pm to 9:30pm.

The hour is more symbolic than functional, a means of raising awareness rather than actually reducing carbon and energy emissions. It is a way to start afresh the dialogue about environmental issues that so often gets pushed to the side in favor of modern convenience.

And, it is one of the rare hours when millions of individuals all over the world pause for a time to direct their attention to a shared concern.

Perhaps one hour is all that we can realistically spend being mindful of the extent to which we use the nonrenewable resources of Earth. Perhaps if we really thought about our consumption of energy every minute of the day, every day of the year, it might be too much to handle. We might get caught up in a dark truth inside our dark rooms.

One thing that is important to think about during Earth Hour is what we are actually doing to celebrate it. Its easy to treat this holiday as any other holiday. To switch on television to see the people in the streets, or to go out in the streets to watch fireworks, use our cell phones to meet up with friends to drive around the darkened streets of the city, or text all our loved ones happy Earth Hour! Of course, all these forms of celebration are counterproductive to the holiday itself.

Rather than the usual kind of festivities, the celebration asked of us from Earth Hour is less social, is less fun; it is really not a celebration at all. It is a quiet reckoning with ourselves, a silent and dark time, maybe even a bit solitary.

But we dont have to think about it as a lonely or depressing time.

No, not at all. It is an opportunity to be introspective, to reflect on more than just energy consumption. It is a time we can reflect on our lives and the blessings of the Earth. It can be a kind of quiet that we do not ordinarily comes across in our normal lives.
