FAVORITE TV DADS

by Kathy Wolfe They solved sibling disputes, dispensed wisdom, and were pillars of the community. These were our favorite fictional dads, the ones we watched on the small screen while we were growing up.

• For 203 episodes, Michael Landon played the pioneer Charles Ingalls, loosely based on the Little House series of books penned by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Little House on the Prairie aired from 1974 to 1982, and chronicled the family’s life on their Walnut Grove, Minnesota farm in the 1870s and 1880s. The real-life Charles loved traveling and moved his family six times. In addition to portraying Ingalls, Landon directed over 40% of the episodes.

Charles Ingalls holds the #4 spot on the TV Guide list of the greatest TV dads.

• The model dad of the 1950s was Jim Anderson, a salesman and manager of the General Insurance Company. Robert Young portrayed Jim for 203 episodes beginning in 1954 in Father Knows Best, a program with the ideal family and a moral lesson each week. Jim was the husband of housewife Margaret and father to Betty, Bud, and Kathy. The show was not successful its first season and was cancelled. CBS was inundated with viewers’ protest letters, and the series was picked up

by NBC, who moved it to an earlier, familyfriendly time slot, where it remained for the next five years. turn the page for more

Of Linn County

• Another classic 1950s dad was Ward Cleaver, head of the family on Leave it to Beaver, husband of June and father of Wally and Theodore (the Beaver). Ward was a native of Shaker Heights, Ohio, who graduated from State College in Philosophy and served in World War II as a Seabee. During the series’ duration from 1957 to 1963, Ward was most frequently seen in his business suit and white shirt, toting his briefcase to his job at the trust company, although he drove his Plymouth Fury to Mayfield’s country club golf course on the weekends. In real life, actor Hugh Beaumont was a licensed Methodist preacher, who opted for a career in show business. After retiring, he began a new career as a Christmas tree farmer in Minnesota.

• Baby boomers will remember the trials and tribulations of single parenthood from the long-running series, My Three Sons.

Steven Douglas ranks #7 on TV Guide’s list of the greatest TV dads. Played by actor Fred McMurray from 1960 to 1972, Steve was a widowed aeronautical engineer raising three boys on his own, assisted by cranky Uncle Charlie. MacMurray was the only cast member to appear in every one of the series’ 380 episodes. The sons changed over the years, with some growing up and moving away and others being adopted, and the addition of triplet boys to one son’s family in keeping with the “three sons” theme.

• Single dad Andy Taylor served as the sheriff and justice of the peace of Mayberry, North Carolina on CBS from 1960 to 1968 on The Andy Griffith Show.

Fans will remember the opening credits that featured Andy and son Opie strolling down a country lane, fishing poles in hand, to a whistled tune called “The Fishing Hole.” Andy put up with his harebrained deputy Barney Fife, who also Continued next page

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle

What’s the Best Choice?

Are you ever stuck or torn in a decision and don’t know the right one to make? The average person makes 10,000 choices a day. The majority of our choices are a result of previous choices. So the tough part is in the right choice.

How do I make the BEST choice? Paul wrote “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless.

Philippians 1:9-10. If we are rooted & motivated in love & can wrap our minds around knowledge and insight we will have the tools needed to make the right choice. The result of the best choice is knowing that I have done my best and can rest in it. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com

Look over there! Said the frightened skunk to his pal.“There’s a human with a gun, and he’s getting closer and closer! What are we going to do?”

To which the second skink calmly replied, “Let us spray ….”

happened to be his cousin. Around town, Andy played checkers at Floyd’s Barber Shop, visited Gomer Pyle and his cousin Goober down at the filling station, and romanced schoolteacher Helen Crump. At home, he enlisted the help of his Aunt Bee for household chores and assistance with Opie (played by Ron Howard, who went on to movie directing fame.)

• The old West had its own version of the single dad with Ben Cartwright, owner of the 600,000-acre Ponderosa Ranch on the shores of Nevada’s Lake Tahoe. Bonanza endured 14 seasons from 1959 to 1973, frequently ranking as TV’s number one program. Ben was widowed three times, with one son from each marriage – Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe. His first wife was from Boston, where Ben had been a seaman and later a shop owner specializing in supplies for merchant vessels. Newly widowed, he and Adam moved out West. Ben ranks #2 on TV Guide’s list of greatest TV dads.

• It wasn’t the plan for Eight is Enough’s Tom Bradford to be a single dad. The series started out in 1977 with actress Diana Hyland starring as his wife, but Hyland fell seriously ill after taping just four episodes, and passed away 12 days after the first episode aired. Tom remarried a schoolteacher during the series’ second season. Tom was a columnist for a Sacramento newspaper, a storyline based on the real life of syndicated columnist Thomas Braden, a father of eight children who wrote a book about his parenting adventures.

• Another widower, magazine publisher Tom Corbett, was kept busy raising his six-year-old son on The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. Eddie occupied his days scheming to find the ideal wife for his dad Bill Bixby starred as Continued next page

TV DADS (continued):

Corbett during Courtship’s run from 1969 to 1972, moving up to direct eight episodes.

When Bixby had a disagreement with the producer over the direction of the show, it was cancelled after its third season.

• It was the story of a man named Brady from 1969 to 1974. Mike Brady, that is – architect and father of three sons, who married Carol, mother of three daughters, to form one of America’s favorite blended families. The program was created by producer Sherwood Schwartz after he read a newspaper article in the late ‘60s stating that nearly 30% of families had a least one child from a previous marriage. More than 450 girls and boys were interviewed by the producer before narrowing the number down to the six Brady children.

Although Mike was considered one of TV’s greatest dads (#14 on the TV Guide list), in actuality, actor Robert Reed strongly disliked the role and was difficult to work with on the set. He had been trained as a Shakespearean actor at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and viewed the show as a silly sitcom and beneath his acting abilities. However, Reed genuinely liked his co-stars and would even take them on trips during their summer break. The storylines were drawn from the producer’s own family as well as those of the cast members. It must have seemed very realistic to many viewers, as fan mail from children frequently arrived, asking if they could live with the Brady family, due to troubles within their own families.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ● On June 22, 1937, Joe Louis wins the world heavyweight boxing title when he defeats American Jim Braddock in an eighthround knockout. Louis was the first black heavyweight champ since Jack Johnson, who lost the title in 1915. ● On June 20, 1947, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, the man who brought organized crime to the West Coast, is shot and killed. In 1945, Siegel had built the Flamingo Hotel in the middle of the desert, in what would become Las Vegas, with $6 million of the mob’s money. When the hotel wasn’t immediately profitable, he couldn’t pay the money back on time. ● On June 17, 1958, a bridge being built to connect eastern and northern Vancouver in western Canada collapses, killing 59 workers.

The Second Narrows Bridge was 175 feet above the water at its highest point.

● On June 18, 1983, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the space shuttle Challenger is launched into space on its second mission.

Aboard the shuttle was Dr. Sally Ride, who as a mission specialist became the first American woman to travel into space. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A young guy working in a restaurant recently made my day. He leaned over and whispered that if I asked for the “senior dinner,” I would save nearly $2, and the senior dinner came with extras.

Who wouldn’t want that?

Sometimes the hardest part of getting a senior discount is knowing what age qualifies as “senior.” Do they mean 50, when AARP starts sending us mail? Or 55? Or is it 60, 62 or 65?

To find locations in your area that give a senior discount, check these locations online: http://www.sciddy.com -- The site is called “Seniors Pay Less,” and it’s organized the information by category.

Put in your ZIP code and the distance you’re willing to travel. I learned, for example, that there’s actually a pizza shop in my area that gives an over-55 discount. http://seniordiscounts.com -- Full access costs $12.95 a year, but may be worth it if you’ll use your senior discounts. As a sample of the free access, go to the site, click on “restaurants” in the drop down menu and put in your ZIP code.

Your best bet is to call businesses and ask in advance (even Senior Discounts has some outdated information). If there are certain places in your area that you like to shop or have a meal, call to inquire about their age cutoff for seniors discounts. Make your own list.

Don’t forget some of the big-ticket items, like your property tax. Some municipalities give discounts to seniors.

If you’re traveling, ask about a senior discount for motels, airfare and car rental. Ask in places where you routinely spend money, such as the grocery stores, especially the chains.

Carry your AARP card in your wallet, because in many places that’s all you need.

MARY KAY ASH

December 22– January 19

Crash and burn? Not you, Capricorn. You’ve got this one in the bag. Amazing opportunities are headed your way. Enjoy every last one of them.

January 20– February 18

June 22– July 22

Kind words lift a friend’s spirits and start them on the road to recovery.

Bravo, Cancer! Financial endeavors pay off big time.

Splurge a little.

July 23– August 22

Sheesh, Aquarius. You manage to finish tasks as fast as they come.

Your efficiency and organizational skills will be noticed. A purchase requires further research.

The clutter bug strikes.

Hard work will clear away the mess, but it won’t resolve the issue. For that, habits will have to change.

You can do it, Leo!

February 19– March 20

August 23– September 22

Fishing for information will get you nowhere fast, Pisces. The answers you seek are right in front of you. Examine the situation from another angle.

March 21– April 19

Spring fever takes over, and energy soars. Do something out of the ordinary, Aries. Try white water rafting, skydiving or some other adventure.

April 20– May 20

Triumphant Taurus. You succeed in the impossible and are rewarded in an unusual way. A call is returned, and the information provided surprises you.

May 21– June 21 Haste makes waste, Gemini. Slow down and focus on the details. A friend asks an intriguing question. Answer only if you dare. A deadline creeps closer.

Pinching pennies is just one of the many options for shoring up your finances. Look to a trusted advisor for others, Virgo.

The need is clear.

September 23– October 22

A family member resolves to do better. Show your support, no matter how much you doubt them, Libra. They just might pull it off this time.

October 23– November 21

Uh-uh-uh, Scorpio.

You’ve put your needs on the back burner for far too long now. You must attend to them if you want to continue to be a good friend.

November 22– December 21

Honestly, Sagittarius. Did you really think you could get away with it? Fess up, and all will be forgiven.

An update in procedures speeds up the workflow at the office

• In 1952, Mary Kay left Stanley, taking a position with the World Gift Company as its national training director. After nearly a decade with World Gift, she bid for a promotion, but was passed over in favor of a man she herself had trained. She resigned in protest, with plans to write a book that would help women succeed in business. That book became the business plan for her own dream company.

• The year 1963 was an eventful one for Mary Kay, beginning with a new marriage at age 45. She then took her $5,000 savings and leased a 500-square-foot storefront in Dallas.

She bought skin care formulas from a tanner who had created them while working on hides. Her products were packaged in her favorite pastel pink. Tragedy struck a month before the scheduled store opening, when her new husband died of a heart attack, just one month into their marriage. Mary Kay’s 20-yearold son stepped in to help launch the business.

• The Dallas store opened with nine salespeople.

It generated a profit its first year, and by the end of the second year had sold nearly $1 million worth of products. In 1968, the company went public. Mary Kay offered her employees incentive programs for their home demonstrations, including vacations, jewelry, and automobiles. Known for her love of the color pink, beginning in 1969, Mary Kay began giving pink Cadillacs to her top sales performers. The first cars were painted the color of one of her products, a shade of blush called Mountain Laurel. Twenty-five years later she had awarded 7,000 cars with a value of $100 million. The particular shade of pink used to paint the cars belongs exclusively to Mary Kay, Inc. and is not available to other customers. A General Motors dealer will not repaint any outside vehicle Mary Kay’s pink.

GM estimates they have produced more than 100,000 pink Cadillacs for Mary Kay.

• Mary Kay became the author of three bestsellers along her journey. The third book You Can Have It All, published in 1995, achieved best-seller status just days after its launch.

• From humble beginnings of nine salespeople, Mary Kay representatives now number more than 2.4 million. From second-year sales of $1 million, worldwide sales in more than 35 markets are close to $3 billion annually.

Fortune magazine has included Mary Kay, Inc. on its list of “The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America” and “The Most Admired Corporations in America.” Mary Kay was a devoted fundraiser for charities, establishing foundations to combat domestic violence and to fund cancer research.

• Mary Kay retained her CEO position until 1987, but remained active in the company until 1996 when she suffered a stroke. She passed away in 2001. The tremendous success of her company lives on, thanks to a personal belief of hers – “People are a company’s greatest asset.”

• Texan-born Mary Kathlyn Wagner married Ben Rogers at age 17, and the couple had three children before he headed off to the service during World War II.
