Great Outdoors Month
June is Great Outdoors Month
and the perfect time to go for a
stroll or sit in the sunshine. Studies
have shown that spending time
outside can increase vitamin D
levels, strengthen the immune
system and boost energy.
The fastball might be the most
common pitch used in baseball,
but one flying at 105.1 mph is not
something you see every day.
Aroldis Chapman, the current
record-holder for the fastest pitch
in MLB history, has thrown balls
clocked at that speed twice—in
2010 for the Cincinnati Reds and
in 2016 for the New York Yankees.
A Figure of Speech
Phrase: The world is your oyster.
Meaning: The opportunities for
success are endless.
Origin: This idiom is attributed
to William Shakespeare, who
used it in his play “The Merry
Wives of Windsor.” The phrase is
generally a metaphor of hope,
suggesting that you can find
success in life if you’re willing to
work for it, just like you might find
a pearl if you labor to pry open
an oyster’s shell.
Summertime Sips
This summer, relax and unwind
by enjoying an Arnold Palmer,
the refreshing beverage created
and loved by its legendary
namesake. According to the golf
great himself, he got the idea
one day at lunch to add
lemonade to his wife’s batch of
iced tea, and he experimented
until he found the perfect ratio:
2 parts iced tea to 1 part
lemonade. Palmer began
carrying a thermos of the
concoction on courses and
ordering the mixed beverage in
restaurants, and the drink was
eventually named after him.
A Sweet Snack
Brainteaser
It’s the short but sweet season
for sweet cherries, which are now
being harvested in California and
the Pacific Northwest. Once you
get your hands on some, save
a few for a nighttime snack.
Cherries contain melatonin, a
hormone that helps regulate the
body’s sleep cycle.
Question: Take a look at
these words: banana, dresser
and grammar. What makes them
all unique?
Answer: If you take the first
letter of each word and put it at
the end, it will spell the same
word backward.

While many places fly the American
flag, there are eight historic locations
that have official proclamations to
display the Stars and Stripes 24/7.
Celebrate Flag Day on June 14 by
learning about some of these sites:
White House. Photographs show the
flag being flown at the White House as
early as the mid-1800s. During World
War I, it was customary to display flags
on the east and west fronts of the
building for 24 hours a day. In 1970,
President Richard M. Nixon made it
official for one flag to fly above the
White House at all times.
Washington Monument. The
memorial in Washington, D.C., to
America’s first president has 50 flags,
one for each state, encircling
the monument.
Lexington Battle Green. The first
conflict of the American Revolution
took place in this Massachusetts town,
where the 1775 battlefield has been
A Pink Drink
Sipping a refreshing glass of pink
lemonade is the perfect way to cool
off when the temperature climbs.
But have you ever wondered who
invented the drink, and why it’s
tinted pink?
Most historians have traced pink
lemonade to 19th-century traveling
circuses, where traditional lemonade
was already a popular refreshment.
made into a park. Since 1965, a U.S.
flag flies continuously near the site’s
famed Minute Man statue.
U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial.
The statue of this memorial in Arlington,
Va., is based on the iconic photograph
of six soldiers raising the U.S. flag at the
Battle of Iwo Jima. In 1961, President
John F. Kennedy proclaimed that the
flag atop the 60-foot bronze flagpole
be flown 24/7.
Two stories of the origin of the pink
version stand out. In one, Henry Allott,
a teenager working at a circus
concession stand, accidentally
dropped red cinnamon-flavored
candies into a batch of lemonade.
He served the rosy-hued drink to his
waiting customers, and it was a hit.
A second story claims circus worker
Pete Conklin ran out of water while
making lemonade. He grabbed a
nearby tub of water that a performer
had used to wash her pink tights,
added it to his mixture, and sold it as
“strawberry lemonade.”
However the beverage came
to be, it continues to be a popular
thirst quencher. Psychologists believe
that its pastel color is relaxing and
calming, providing ideal relief on a
hot summer day.
