This dad has always been “more funnier”
By Marybeth Hicks
Years ago when she was only six years old, my daughter Amy said the
biggest difference between mom and dad is, “Dad is more funnier.” So
true. Dad was the parent who composed rap songs about doing dishes,
taught the “I’ve Got Too Much Homework” blues, and cheerfully chatted
it up before school in the morning while all around him, mayhem
erupted. Some would call this oblivious. In fact, I used to call this

The Importance of Being a Good Dad
Senate restores funding for the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood. As we
celebrate Fathers’ Day, I thought I would take this opportunity to
share some thoughts on the value of the fine fathers in our community.
Often a challenge and always a blessing, the role of father is what I
am most proud of in life. As a father of three, I am quite familiar
with the many hats one must wear in order to be a good dad. The list

Living Positive on Less Income
By Sharon Hopper, Senior Scribe
I went into the store to purchase a few things to keep the bugs and

advertised products. My grandmother taught me years ago that salt and
soda made a... Read More. More Opinion. |

HAPPY FATHERS DAY from CHRISTY
|
I wrote this poem for my dad when I was in high school. It still rings
true to my heart today. This year for Fathers’ Day may we all thank our
dad for everything. If you do not have a dad, then thank all the father
figures in your life and/or thank someone you know who is a father
today. Christy L. Riley
