Judy Seckler HORACE MANN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL -- Without the help of a fancy set of wheels or a cell phone, the students at Horace Mann Elementary School have big plans for their moms on this Mother's Day. "I'm going to go on Saturday and buy my mom a single red rose to surprise her," Armen Martirosyan, 10, said. He admitted she deserved more stuff, but he didn't have the time to go shopping because he had to study and do homework. "Actually, I don't like spending money.

Not long ago I wrote a column about how sometimes in terms like “teachers' union” and “homeowners' policy” the apostrophe is optional. If you really mean that the first noun possesses the second, an apostrophe makes sense. But if the first noun is intended as more of an adjective, you can often drop it: teachers union, homeowners policy. The column prompted an interesting response from a reader named Mary, who wanted know how the lesson applied to a recent document she had helped produce that made reference to Founders' Day, complete with apostrophe.

Marshall Allen GLENDALE -- Carolyn Gordon, Jan Adduci and Winnie Calvario had a lot in common this Mother's Day: They each work in the rehabilitation department of Glendale Adventist Medical Center, are 38 and expecting their first baby. "People ask us, 'What's in the water?' " said Gordon, a physical therapist whose baby is due in July. Like any mothers-to-be, the women are full of excitement and some nervousness, especially because of their age. The women hear many myths and misconceptions about being pregnant at an older than usual age. Some people say older women are more likely to have babies with birth defects, or that they shouldn't exercise when pregnant, Gordon said.

GLENDALE — Visitors of Grand View Memorial Park will have an extra day to visit departed friends and family this month, thanks to the Glendale City Council. Grand View was originally scheduled to open this month on May 6 and 20, but the City Council's vote Tuesday added Sunday to the visitation days. Gates will open at noon and close at 4 p.m. — the same visiting hours since the city started visitation days in August. "It's an excellent move," said Palos Verdes resident Richard Stern, whose mother-in-law Geneva Hegemier was interred at Grand View in February, the first to be interred there since its legal troubles began in November 2005.

The gates of Grand View Memorial Park were open on Sunday after the Glendale City Council voted to add Mother's Day to the visitation days. The cemetery has been open for two Sundays per month since January but the City Council decided to give visitors an extra day for Mother's Day as a public service. For many visitors who came to pay their respects to their loved ones on Sunday, the cemetery was particularly difficult to bear because of its unkept and disheveled condition.

DAN KIMBER Forgive me this personal note, but it's long overdue. Dear Mom, After 50-plus Mother's Day cards I've given you over the years, I'd like to say, here and now, what none of them ever did. I really should say "we," because your other sons join me in this. We've had so many talks over the years about just how great we think you are, and we all agree that it's time we let you in on it. First off, there are the thank-yous we owe you. Thanks for having us. If there was some Central Plan for how we all got here, we're very glad that you were chosen to bring us into this world.

CINDY TRANE CHRISTESON "Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." William Makepeace Thackeray There is no way to write about mothers and Mother's Day without knowing that while it is a wonderful and joyous celebration for many, it can a painful reminder of loss for others. I also know that many people, including fathers, grandparents and others, have taken a mother's role in the lives of countless people, and they too deserve recognition.

Valentine's Day is coming. And you know what that means. Lots of exciting, passionate, thrilling talk about possessives -- specifically, the use of possessives in holiday names. (If you know something I don't here, it's probably best that you don't mention it.) All across the nation, couples will come together this Valentine's Day to explore questions such as: Is there an apostrophe in Valentine's Day and where does it go? Is it the same for Saint Patrick's Day? Because that's coming up too and we still haven't figured out whether an apostrophe belongs in Presidents Day. And what about Mother's Day?
