June is National Rose Month
The writings of Shakespeare refer to roses more than 50 times.
There is a rose bush on the wall of the Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany
that is thought to be the oldest living specimen. It is over 1,000 years old.
The rose is the official state flower of New York, Georgia, Iowa, North
Dakota, and the District of Columbia. It is also the official National Floral
Emblem of the United States.
Rose hips, the part left on the plant after a rose finishes blooming, contain
more vitamin C than almost any other fruit or vegetable.
To get one ounce of essential oil of rose, it takes 4,000 pounds of rose petals.
The rose is native to the United States.
About 60 percent of the roses grown in the United States are produced in California.

Manager’s Report
An emergency replacement of the circulating pump for the boiler was required April 30th at a cost of $1,687.00.
Work has begun on the freight elevator. It was decided to start with this car because
it has given us the most trouble lately. Residents are asked to have patience, as there
will surely be delays and inconveniences. Please consult with the office before
scheduling any deliveries.
The contract with Austen Electric has also been signed and the permits ordered for
the new fire alarm system.
The broken cobblestone pathway in the front of the building will be replaced with concrete.

Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
According to the American Cancer Society, sunscreen use by adults and young people
has fallen significantly in the last eight years. Only 40 percent of adults regularly used
sunscreen in 2003, down 14 percent from 1996. In people under 25, only 34 percent
used sunscreen regularly.
In addition to these concerning statistics, the use of tanning salons has tripled
for people under 25. Tanning in general is becoming more and more popular.
Many people believe that indoor tanning is safer than tanning under the sun. But
a February 2003 study found that tanning devices doubled the risk of common
types of skin cancer. People who used tanning devices were 1.5 times more
likely to develop basal cell carcinoma and 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell skin cancer.
What causes teens and young adults to ignore the warnings from doctors? Blame the media. According to A.G.
Geller, lead author of the study, images of tanned models and celebrities compel many teens to want that sunkissed look. Since the chance of getting cancer seems 30 or 40 years in the future, most teens ignore the
dangers.
What are the best ways to protect your skin? It really is simple. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen when
heading outdoors, and try to avoid sun exposure between the hours of 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.

Social Club
S. Glantz provided the minutes of her last meeting,
and regretfully submitted her resignation as
president of the social club. She recommended to
the Board that the organization of social functions
continue under the sponsorship of the Board as a
social committee. Through the hard work and
efforts of the members, with special thanks to
Evelyn Brown and Dorothy Millstein, the club has
raised more than $2,000, which will now be turned
over to the committee.
At the April 21st meeting, owners wondered how
many apartments are occupied by renters. Units
are always in transition, but currently
approximately 185 units are owner occupied or
second homes and 53 are rentals. The developer
still has 6 units of which 1 is in the process of
sale.
Happy Father’s Day
In the late 1800’s, a baby girl, Sonora
Smart, was born. Unfortunately, her
mother died giving birth to her. The usual
practice was to send such a child off to
relatives who would care for her. But
Sonora’s father, William, chose to keep
her close to home, raising the little girl
along with her five siblings alone on a farm in eastern
Washington.
Sonora grew up and married, becoming Sonora Smart
Dodd. One day in 1909, she was sitting in church listening
to a Mother’s Day sermon. Thinking that her father
deserved the same recognition as any mother did, she
began an effort to designate a special day for fathers.
The first Father’s Day observance was held the following
year in Spokane, Washington. She chose the month of
June, the month of her father’s birthday.
Within 15 years, this custom had spread across the
country. In 1924, Calvin Coolidge issued the first
presidential proclamation in support of Father’s Day.
President Richard Nixon made it a permanent designation
in 1972. The third Sunday in June has become a National
Day of Observance in honor of fathers everywhere. One
woman’s love for her father has inspired millions to honor
their fathers as well.
