DADDYBERG Lets be honest, we tend to pay a little more attention to Mothers Day than Fathers Day.

Im not going to say whether or not this is fair, but I dont believe extra mom attention at all diminishes what dads mean to us, even if they dont get as many presents, flowers and treats on Fathers Day. Im also not going to say what your dad may mean to you, but rather perhaps what you may mean to your dad.

To celebrate fathers, Dove Men+Care released a video mashup of the very moment various men find out theyre going to be dads. The video shows tender emotions and true excitement as it dawns on each man that they are fathers-to-be.

You cant help but feel a few warm fuzzies, if not a new appreciation for what your dad may have felt when he found out that he was going to meet you. My own father told me that feeling of joy and excitement was a powerful experience each and every time he found out his nine children and 26 grandchildren were coming into this world. (Happy Fathers Day, Daddy-O!)

If this video doesnt affect you in some way, let it instead serve as a reminder that Fathers Day is Sunday. So send a card, make a phone call or otherwise celebrate the father and father figures in your life.

Grant funding totaling $93,458 has been awarded to the Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program (GMSP) by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. The approved funding will be used to increase motorcycle safety awareness and outreach by encouraging all motorists and motorcyclists to Share the Road.

“The need for motorcycle safety programs is greater than ever, and this support from GOHS enables motorcycle safety programs and impaired riding initiatives to reach riders and non-riders alike” said Commissioner Spencer R. Moore. “Thank you GOHS for helping (the Department of Driver Services) and GMSP educate and encourage all Georgia drivers to ‘Share the Road.’”

The grant allows DDS to further develop the Motorcycle Safety Outreach Program by continuing to fund a position to promote state and national safety initiatives. The GMSP outreach coordinator researches, coordinates and helps maintain an adequate presence at industry events, local schools and colleges, regional meetings and festivals to increase awareness of motorcycles on the roadways and provide the most current information on motorcycle safety initiatives.

Visitors to a GMSP event display are also encouraged to sign up for regular newsletters which provide additional safety information, as well as review the motorcycle safety message on other social media platforms.

GMSP regulates motorcycle training for new riders, as well as seasoned riders, who want to learn how to ride a motorcycle legally and safely. The program is based on a continuum of learning and therefore offers three entry points to rider education.

Students participating in the Basic Riders Course do not need specialized motorcycle equipment, as the GMSP provides both a motorcycle and a helmet to class participants. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a 90-day license waiver card that exempts them from both the written and on-cycle skills tests needed to obtain a Class M license in the state of Georgia.

Please visit the DDS website at www.dds.georgia.gov for many online services including the convenience of enrolling in a GMSP training class and accessing many licensing services.
