Gemini, this is a good month for starting and
finishing new projects and tying up loose ends.
June is a bittersweet month, and it’s a time to
focus on personal transformation and reinvention
– giving birth to the person you want to be, your
ideal you. Pay attention to your health this month –
avoid overwork or over-activity. As always, be careful with your
relationships – don’t take anything, especially communication,
for granted.
Cancer, your sense of self-reliance and
independence is stronger this month. You can
and should have things the way you like them –
without riding roughshod over others. You need
to be careful about taking verbal commitments
too seriously – people don’t always really mean what they say.
Finances are bittersweet this month. Success comes only
through hard work, but it does come. Things will improve as the
month progresses.

4 WAYS TO BEAT THE HEAT
Eat spicy food. If you’re already
sweating, why would you want to
sweat more? Professor of Food
Science at Penn State University,
Luke LaBorde says “eating spicy
food increases blood circulation and
makes you sweat, so you’ll feel
cooler as the sweat dries.” Dr. Oz explains that the capsaicin in
hot peppers encourages your body to sweat more without raising
your body temperature.
Sleep on ice cold sheets. Chill your bed
by folding sheets and pillowcases, placing
them in plastic bags and sticking them in
the freezer for a few hours, according to
Mother Nature Network. Then make up the
bed just before you turn in for the night.
FLORIDA’S HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS SALES TAX
HOLIDAY – COMING SOON!
Florida hasn’t set the date for this year’s Hurricane
Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday, but here’s a list of items that
will be included in the holiday buying:
•
•
•
Spritz yourself. Keep a spray bottle in
the refrigerator and when the going
gets hot, give yourself a good squirt –
as the water evaporates, it cools you.
Start with your wrists and ankles and
then move on to your arms and legs.
•
•
Shuck your shoes. As the sweat on your feet evaporates, it
cools the skin and the blood in your feet. Blood vessels then
whisk that blood to other parts of the
body so “you’re getting a greater
sensation of coolness” says Donald R.
Bohay, M.D. and a member of the
American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle
Society.

The Summer Solstice heralds the
beginning of summer in the Northern
Hemisphere and will occur on June 21 at
12:38 p.m. The timing of the Summer
Solstice depends on when the Sun
reaches its farthest point north of the
equator. The summer solstice is the day
with the most hours of sunlight during the
whole year. Here are some ways to
celebrate summer:
1. Go fishing.
2. Cook outside. Have a big cook-out on the solstice.
3. Listen to songbirds: We love our feathered friends. Attract
birds to your garden with a bird feeder.
4. Let the light in! With all this extra daylight, hang a sun catcher
in your window or on your porch.
FATHER'S DAY HISTORY
The idea for Father’s Day came to Mrs.
John Dodd as she sat listening to a
Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her father
had raised his children alone on his
Washington farm after his wife died giving birth to their sixth
child. Mrs. Dodd proposed to the Spokane Ministerial
Association and the YMCA that they celebrate a "father's day"
on June 5, her father's birthday. The idea received strong
support, but the ministers of Spokane asked that the day be
changed to give them time to prepare sermons on the subject
of fathers. The first Father's Day was observed on June 19,
1910, in Spokane, Washington, and soon other towns had their
own celebrations. Father's Day did not become a permanent
national holiday until 1972, when President Richard Nixon
signed a law declaring that it be celebrated annually on the
third Sunday in June.

FATHER’S DAY FACTS:

Father’s Day a federal holiday.
There are more than 70 million fathers in the United States.
Americans spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s
Day gifts.
THOUGHTS ABOUT FATHERS
My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.
Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass."
"We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. "We're raising boys."
Harmon Killebrew
I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.
M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter
It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have
a real father. Pope John XXIII
Flag Day, always celebrated on June
14, is a day for and showing respect
for our flag, its designers and makers.
Our flag is represents our
independence and our unity as a
nation and has a proud and glorious
history. It is at the lead of every battle
fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It
even stands proudly on the surface of the moon.
Flag Etiquette. The American flag represents our nation and the
many people who gave their lives for our country and our flag.
Here are the basics on displaying the American flag:
• The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset.
• The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it.
• The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather.
• After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half-staff for 30
days. It's called "half-staff" on land ,and "half-mast" on a
ship.
• When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field , or
"union", is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from
your house).
• Never let your flag touch the ground, never...period.
• Fold your flag when storing. Don't just stuff it in a drawer or
box.
.
Famous Flag People:
Betsy Ross: a seamstress who made clothes for George
Washington. In June, 1776, Washington approached her to
make the country's first flag and the rest is history.
Francis Scott Key: inspired by the British bombardment of Fort
McHenry, Francis Scott Key penned the lyrics to our national
anthem as he witnessed British rockets whizzing in the air while
our American Flag flew in the breeze

have been symbols of love, beauty, war
and politics. On November 20, 1986

House Rose Garden.

∗ Columbus’ crew picked a rose branch out of the ocean on
October 11, 1492. This signaled the presence of land. The
very next day, Columbus discovered America.

vegetable.

accidentally shot an arrow into a rose garden.

Neighborhood Watch is an organization made up of citizens
who are concerned about their neighborhood and the betterment
of their community. It is a means of bringing the community and
police together in a cooperative effort to solve the problem of
crime. Citizens are encouraged to call the police when they
observe suspicious activity and to identify themselves and
furnish the police with whatever information is available to them.
The exchange of information between citizens and police is a
vital link in achieving the desired effectiveness of crime
prevention. Winward Lakes has an active Neighborhood Watch

participation of the citizens and their working with the police to

SPECIAL LITTLE NOTE
Everyone enjoys the monthly dinners, but we really need for a few people to step up and volunteer to set up the tables. What you would
need to do is put tablecloths, silverware and napkins on the tables. This would take about 20 minutes of your time. If you feel you can
help, please contact your Home Owners Association President.
