Clarence Budington Kelland never wasted breath on moral sermons; he preferred action’s plain punctuation. His line about fathers rings because it sounds like porch talk at dusk, truth wrapped in easy rhythm. A kid watching a man patch a screen door or tip his hat absorbs more instruction than any polished lecture, hearing once.

Storytelling, Kelland believed, should stroll beside the reader, not march ahead. Likewise, paternal leadership ambles within eyesight, never issuing commands from some distant hill. The small routines, such as early rising, square dealing, and laughter after an error, quietly condition children to copy. They see nobility isn’t ceremony; it’s consistency, repeated daily until character feels effortless and therefore enduring.

So, on Father’s Day, don’t unwrap guidance; enact it. Let the youngsters catch you writing gratitude notes, mowing a neighbor’s lawn, or finishing the challenging job you alone postponed. When night settles, they’ll say nothing, but their eyes will spark with recognition. They will follow tomorrow because they witnessed devotion in plain clothes there today.

Demonstrate character through small, consistent deeds, letting children witness integrity without fanfare and adopt it naturally.

ELLENDALE, N.D. — Applied Digital on June 2 inked 15-year leases giving CoreWeave 250 megawatts of IT load at its 3,000-acre campus, a deal projected to generate $7 billion and trigger the largest AI-focused data center build in North Dakota history. Shares jumped 48 percent after regulators cleared a 400-megawatt substation supporting phase one.

Walsh Construction will break ground mid-July, deploying prefabricated steel frames, evaporative cooling towers, and heat-capture systems that reroute waste air to dry nearby corn stores, plus onsite battery farms and hydrogen-ready generators for backup. Crews plan to pour 15,000 cubic yards of concrete every four weeks, reaching a weather-tight enclosure by March 2026 and a full rack install by early 2027.

Local officials anticipate 600 union construction jobs, 90 permanent tech positions, and a 12-mile fiber loop linking Ellendale to Bismarck’s internet exchange. State Commerce granted $38 million in tax credits, while farmers signed noise easements, calling the project “worth the growing pains” as AI demand reshapes prairie economies.

Backhoes roared outside Colfax, California, on June 6 as the Placer County Water Agency launched construction of a new $36-million surface-water treatment plant that will replace aging hillside wells vulnerable to drought and contamination. The long-promised project marks the region’s most significant infrastructure investment since Interstate 80 reached the Sierra foothills half a century ago.

Engineers will lay twenty miles of ductile-iron pipe, twin high-efficiency pumps, and a gravity-fed clearwell capable of delivering 12 million gallons daily to six rural communities spanning from Applegate to Weimar. Ozone and activated-carbon filters target wildfire ash, microplastics, and forever chemicals, while backup battery banks safeguard operations during PG&E’s planned safety shutoffs.

Funding blends a $10 million zero-interest state loan, $2.5 million in grant forgiveness, and revenue bonds backed by modest rate adjustments averaging three dollars per household. Officials predict construction will support 220 prevailing-wage jobs and, once complete in 2027, reduce groundwater withdrawals by 80 percent, strengthening both wildfire resilience and salmon flows on the American River.

Shovels hit sandy ground Sunday outside Hudson as McDowell Housing Partners launched Ekos at Bayonet Point, under a three-phase, 360-unit master-planned affordable community. Phase 1 will deliver a four-story building with 114 elevator-served one-bedroom apartments reserved for seniors earning no more than 60% of the area median income, with occupancy expected by late 2026.

Residents will share a standalone clubhouse featuring a pool, fitness studio, computer lab, arts room, and dog park. Broad sidewalks connect the campus to Lakeshore Boulevard and future bus stops. Subsequent phases add 120 additional senior apartments and 126 family units, all enveloped in Florida-friendly landscaping that shades pedestrian paths.

McDowell financed the $110 million build with nine percent low-income housing tax credits acquired by Truist Community Capital, plus a construction loan from Truist Bank and Freddie Mac permanent debt. The developer estimates rents will average $850, nearly half of regional market rates. County officials hailed Ekos as the first unsubsidized affordable complex utilizing modern elevator prototypes to facilitate aging in place.
