ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent

Q: My daughter and her fiancé are both 35, and make more money than my husband and I do. We really can’t afford the kind of wedding they want, but I’m afraid my daughter will be disappointed if I tell her. What to do?

No more sticky sprays! This pocketsize device will keep bugs away from your picnic or patio for up to 12 hours per cartridge. HOW IT WORKS Load the repellent pad onto the ThermaCELL appliance and turn it on. The heat grill disperses an odorless formula into the air, securing a 15-by-15foot area.

—Gerri H., Kansas City

A: We owe our children many things—love, kindness, discipline, and education, to name a few—but a huge, splashy wedding is not one of them. If you can afford a big shindig, great. If not, your daughter will have to understand—and probably already does. Don’t feel guilty. Instead, ask yourself what you can comfortably contribute and tell your daughter directly. “You might say, ‘We’d love to give you $2,000 toward ﬂowers/a DJ/ your honeymoon’—whatever feels right,” says wedding planner Marcy Blum, author of Weddings for Dummies. “Or perhaps the groom’s parents might be amenable to having you cohost an event that’s usually theirs alone—a rehearsal dinner, for example, or a goodbye brunch.” Whatever you decide, save your sense of duty for something really important that doesn’t cost you money … like, say, valuable babysitting time if/when the ﬁrst grandchild arrives. —Judith Newman Send your questions to Parade.com/mannerup

My Father

THREE YEARS AGO ON FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND, LEGENDARY TV JOURNALIST TIM RUSSERT DIED SUDDENLY. IN THIS EXCLUSIVE TRIBUTE, HIS ONLY CHILD SHARES SOME OF DAD’S WISDOM.

By Luke Russert Photograph by Michael Edwards

Dad”—no title or honor in his life carried more signiﬁcance to my father, Tim Russert. He once told Oprah Winfrey, “When my life is over, there’s nothing more I’ll be judged on than what kind of father I was.” And he was a wonderful one. He was not only my best friend, but my compass. While he was alive, he guided me with his actions and advice. Since he’s been gone, those “lessons of life,” as he once called them, have continued to give me counsel and comfort. Here are three of them.

“Believe in yourself.” If there was one phrase my father never liked to hear, it was “I can’t.” His dad—my grandpa—was a garbage man from South Buffalo, N.Y. He never got to ﬁnish high school and held down two jobs to provide for his family, but he never complained. Through education and years of hard work, my dad rose from South Buffalo to become the preeminent political journalist of his generation. When I was a freshman in high school, I had a terrible time with geometry. My dad found me a tutor, but I still struggled. So my teacher suggested I meet with him at 7 each morning before school for extra help. I told my dad, “That’s crazy! I can’t do that!” He replied, “You’re doing it. I’ll bring you.” Every morning at 6:45 a.m., we’d leave the house. Despite working 12-hour days, 8 • June 19, 2011

often with a Today show appearance between 7 and 8 a.m., my dad never once missed driving me to school. After months of studying, I was facing the final exam. I was so nervous. If I bombed, I was looking at summer school and—worst of all—failure. On the day of the final, my dad took me to school. He got out of the car and walked with me the first 20 yards. Then he hugged me and said, “Luke, believe in yourself. You can do it. Whatever happens, it’ll be okay. I love you, and I know you can do this.” His words made me realize I needed to trust in my ability and in the hours of work I’d put in. I ended up passing, and it’s still one of my proudest achievements. When I got my grade, the first person I called was Dad. He screamed, “Yes! You worked your butt off, buddy! You earned it, and you believed in yourself!” Even now, whenever I worry that a task is too much for me or have doubts about performing my job as a Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News, I think back to that geometry exam. No matter how hard something is, if you’re willing to work, you can succeed. I’m forever grateful to Dad for that lesson.

“It’s okay to be scared.” In 2004, my dad and I were on a South Bend, Ind.–to–D.C. ﬂight that hit very bad turbulence. The plane kept lurching, and it seemed to fall hundreds of feet in a few seconds. I was terriﬁed, and I held on to the armrests for what I thought was literally dear life. But Visit us at PARADE.COM

DAD KNOWS BEST

Advice from prominent pops

Never forget to enjoy yourself “Recently when I was an assistant on a movie, I ended up being put on camera. I called up Dad to ask for advice. He went through different approaches and ways to prepare, and he ended with, ‘Come on, Jess, remember to have fun!’ Whenever I’m under pressure, he gives me a pep talk that always ﬁnishes with that.”

IN HIS DAD’S FOOTSTEPS:

Luke Russert, an NBC News correspondent, is following his Dad’s lead on and off the job

Dad, a veteran flier, didn’t flinch. He put his hand on my back, saying it would be okay, and eventually we reached smoother skies. Still, I walked away from that experience with a fear of flying. Even though I dreaded getting on airplanes, I forced myself to travel. But because I wanted to appear tough, I didn’t mention my fear to anybody. One Sunday night, I was due to fly back to Boston Visit us at PARADE.COM

after visiting family and friends in Washington, D.C. The sky looked ominous, and I hoped my flight would be canceled. It wasn’t. Dad drove me to the airport, and he could tell I wasn’t myself. I was curt and furiously tapping the door handle. As we pulled up to the terminal, I really started sweating and I blurted out the truth: I was terrified about flying. He said, “I’m coming in

“I was 10, and it was my ﬁrst time playing tackle football. While I loved football, I was frightened by the contact. I wanted to quit, but Dad wouldn’t let me. He did hitting drills with me until I stopped being scared. When I got knocked down, he’d say, ‘Are you hurt? No? Then get back up.’ He taught me if you have the fortitude to continue, you can and should.” —John David Washington, running back for the United Football League’s Sacramento Mountain Lions, is the son of Academy Award– winning actor Denzel Washington

I asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you have to be on the Today show in the morning?â&#x20AC;? He responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going through security and walking you to the plane.â&#x20AC;? I was mortiďŹ edâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; I was 21 and I needed an escort.

He told me not to be afraidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that airlines only ďŹ&#x201A;y under safe conditions, that pilots are very well trainedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and he

quoted a statistic about air travel being the safest form of travel. He also said to think of turbulence as â&#x20AC;&#x153;rough waves that hit a boat. It might get choppy, but you know you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sink.â&#x20AC;? When boarding was announced, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love ya, buddy. Call me when you land,â&#x20AC;? and I got on the plane. Even though the flight was a bit bumpy, my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boat analogy eased my mind. I learned that night itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay for a man to show fear and vulnerability. My dad could have said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suck it up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only an hour-and-a-half ďŹ&#x201A;ight.â&#x20AC;? Instead he went out of his way to support my weakness. To this day, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no

My father was competing in the World Series of Golf at the time, but in the middle of the tournament, he jumped on a plane and came to our game. He knew how important it was to us, so it became equally important to him.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jack Nicklaus II, president of Nicklaus Design, is the son of golf legend Jack Nicklaus

Don’t let fear stop you “ ‘Either you stay in the shallow end of the pool, or you go out in the ocean,’ my dad used to say.

Stay calm under pressure “When I was 16, my dad taught me to drive. One day, I was in a busy intersection and the engine stopped. I panicked.

He guided me to a lot, and in the quietest voice said, ‘By the way, never start this car with the air conditioner on—it doesn’t like it.’ We cracked up.

Our planet is home to billions of birds. Assuming that many of them die every day, why do we so seldom see a dead bird on the ground? —Dennis MacAdam, Folsom, Calif.

Readers often ask this question about birds, but never about other common animals, such as mice. The answer is the same: When creatures die, most of them are quickly gobbled up by other animals in the neighborhood. Another question I’m often asked is whether it’s really true that no two snowflakes are alike. The answer is surely yes. But no two pigeons are alike, either. Or pickles or porpoises or anything else, for that matter. For example, consider the human population, which is rapidly approaching seven billion. Do any of us look exactly alike? Nope—not even identical twins. To ask a question, visit Parade.com/askmarilyn

Father’s Day EDITION

HEALTH QUIZ SPECIAL

The best gift you can give Dad on his special day (besides a tie, of course) is knowledge. When it comes to health, here’s how to keep Pop on top. By Joe Kita • Illustrations by Scotty Reifsnyder

(a) Practice deep breathing (b) Pet a dog (c) Buy a heart-rate monitor

True or False: Eating red meat increases a man’s risk for heart disease and diabetes. Answer: False. After examining 20 studies involving 1.2 million individuals, Harvard researchers found no association between eating unprocessed red meat (beef, lamb) and developing these diseases. However, they did ﬁnd that eating processed meat (bacon, hot dogs, deli meats, etc.) raised the risk of heart disease by 42 percent and diabetes by 19 percent.

True or False: Having facial hair can make Dad more miserable during allergy season. Answer: True. Pollen and other allergens can get trapped in mustaches and beards, leading to more sneezing and snifﬂing. To minimize symptoms, Dad should wash his facial hair twice daily or just shave it off during allergy season.

One of the best ways for men to control stress is to …

Answer: (c). All of the above can relax you, but go with the gadget, since guys love them. Heart-rate monitors measure and display heart rate in beats per minute (bpm), helping to quantify anxiety. Alarms can even be set to beep when a heart rate soars.

Over time, users get a better sense of the things that stress them out and how to prevent or control them.

Men who eat lots of ____ have significantly lower rates of Alzheimer’s zheimer’s disease.

What’s the smartest way to stay in shape while working in an office? (a) Do bicep curls with dumbbells (b) Pace while talking on the phone (c) Stand while working at a computer (d) Do neck rolls and shoulder stretches

Answer: (c). Sitting for most of the day increases the risk of heart attack by 54 percent, according to experts at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. What’s What’

The medical condition “wallet neuropathy” can result from … (a) Worrying about making ends meet (b) Sitting on a thick billfold (c) Counting currency (as with bank tellers and fathers of teenagers)

Answer: (b). Sitting on a fat wallet for extended periods twists the spine and compresses nerves in the buttocks and legs, which can lead to inﬂammation, tingling, and lower-back pain.

14 • June 19, 2011

scarier is that sitting is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;independent risk factor,â&#x20AC;? meaning that even if you go to the gym on your lunch break and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke, it doesn't make up for being a deskchair potato. Try elevating your computer and keyboard so that you can stand at your desk.

True or false: Burying Dad in the sand at the beach can make him sick. Answer: True. According to the Environmental Protection Agency and several research studies, beach sand can contain E. coli bacteria and other contaminants that, if ingested, may cause gastrointestinal illnesses and diarrhea. Always wash your hands in fresh water before eating at the beach.

What drug should every older man have instant access to? (a) Antibiotics (b) Aspirin (c) Viagra

Answer: (b). When taken during the ďŹ rst critical moments of a heart attack, aspirin thins the blood and shrinks clots. Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist in Miami Beach, recommends that in an emergency you chew one 325-milligram adult tablet and wash it down with water.

Gwyneth’s Tips

Gwyneth Paltrow reminisces about grilling with her dad

cle

Grilling was my father’s entrée into cooking. He was very into hot dogs and burgers, and he was always very particular about the details, like using mesquite wood. When I was a little girl growing up in California, I would play outside while he ﬁred up the grill. So whenever I have a barbecue, it reminds me of my childhood. And I just love the smell. It’s a wonderful, very visceral way to cook. Dad would make beef burgers and put the cheese on top. But I don’t eat beef, so I make turkey burgers instead. And rather than melting the cheese on top, I stuff it inside. That’s my little twist. It’s delicious! Everyone in my family goes crazy for them.

P “Carefully monitor the grill’s heat. If it’s too hot, the burgers will be charred on the outside and raw on the inside.”

P “I came up with ith the ‘cheese-stuffed’ idea when ﬁlling a turkey burger with bread stufﬁng for a Thanksgiving meal. That’s a fun switch when fall arrives.”

fge

Cheesy Stuffed Burgers 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup peeled and ﬁnely minced yellow onion 1 Tbsp very ﬁnely chopped fresh rosemary 1 lb ground turkey (or ground beef chuck) ½ tsp coarse salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper ½ cup coarsely grated cheese of your choice 4 sprouted grain or whole-wheat burger buns

Paltrow with producer dad Bruce, who died in 2002.

1. Heat oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add onion and rosemary; cook until soft and sweet, about 10 minutes. Let onion mixture cool a bit, and put it in a large mixing bowl with turkey, salt, and pepper. 2. Combine ingredients with a wooden spoon or with your hands. Divide mixture into quarters. Cut each quarter in half and form into 2 patties.

Place 2 Tbsp cheese on one patty; place other patty on top,, pinching edges together. Repeat with remaining patties. 3. Preheat grill to high. Cook burgers 5 minutes on one side; flip, then cook until burgers are browned and firm, about 4 minutes. 4. Serve on buns with all your favorite fixings.
