Miss Collyn Lambeck, an 11-year-old fifth-grader at Stockdale Elementary School, is the winner of the Susanna Dickinson Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) award for the essay she wrote for the chapter's American History Essay Contest. The essay contest theme asked students to write as if they were a newspaper reporter when the John Phillips Sousa march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever”, was played. Collyn has a special connection to this song because she is a ranked twirler and has performed routines to it. Her essay won the award from the Susanna Dickinson chapter, and she received...Article Link

John Phillip Sousa and his Marine Corps Band performed in Enid, OKlahoma for a Christmas concert in 1919 and 1925. He also gave concerts in 1921 and 1928 which are all explained. DId he really spend $6,000 ($93,000 today's cost) on white kid gloves? What did he leave for the community? The story of "The March King" in the Cherokee Strip.

This week, Susan leads us through the tales of John Phillips Sousa and Adolphe Sax. 

People on a journey to be healthy and fit often know what they need to do, but for all sorts of reasons they don’t do it. Even those of us who are health professionals fall victim to the many barriers thrown in our path. That is where my accountability groups come into the picture. Each participant receives support and encouragement from the other members and in return, they give their support and insight back to the group. This is both inspiring and motivating for everyone involved.Today I am going to interview a regular member of my monthly groups, who just happens to be an Occupational Therapist (OT). Jennifer Fitzgerald chose to become an OT rather than a physical therapist (PT) because she is a wholistic person who likes to look at a whole person vs one body part or symptom. She works with body mechanics and functional fitness to get to a root cause and help people learn and improve life skills from feeding and dressing yourself to walking, running or even how you play golf.Body mechanics involve exercises designed to improve posture, coordination, and stamina. Functional fitness or movement is exercise that trains your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasizes core stability which is a building block of a healthy body. Proper body alignment gives you core strength and you need core strength to have proper body alignment.Jennifer has worked in every aspect of OT from neonatology to death and dying. She has a degree in General Rehab, a Massage Therapy License and a master’s degree in OT. She is passionate about helping people. Currently her main focus is with kids but being a military spouse with 5 moves in 10 years she has worked with every age in many different settings.In today’s interview she answers questions and describes the “physiological why” behind her answers.Thoughts about “virtual school”.Whether you choose on site or virtual school the issue is not the Corona Virus, it is screen time. In virtual school everything is done looking at a screen on an electronic device. Too much screen time is not good for anyone but especially for those whose brains are still developing. The obvious fact is that if a child is sitting in front of a screen, they are not getting the exercise their body needs. What is not so obvious is what the constant screen time is doing to their brains. The picture on a screen is made up of millions of pixels moving at lightening speed. If you hold your phone camera up to a tv or computer screen you can see the wavering pixels. The brain is processing the pixels at the speed it is receiving them. Kids become accustomed to processing fast moving things so when a teacher stands in front of them, they are bored and lose interest. They crave the fast pace because it is what they are used to. Much of that processing activity occurs in the frontal lobe of the brain which is the behavior center. This could cause unwanted behavior problems. Kids under age 2 shouldn’t be watching screens at all and everyone else should take breaks and get outside, get silly, get fresh air, do brain exercises. Any movement is better than continued staring at a screen.Should middle school kids be lifting weights?Before the age of 15 kids shouldn’t be lifting weights heavier than their body. The growth plates in their body can be compressed and damaged. It is okay to use resistance bands and lighter weights. 10 to 12-year -olds in the weight room don’t know where their body is in space (proprioception) so they could throw out a hip or get a back or shoulder injury. If they are taught the correct body mechanics and the appropriate way to exercise and strengthen their core for their age, they can improve their skills and excel at their sports.Proper movement through the developmental stages is crucial.Babies need to roll over, sit, crawl, stand up, cruise furniture and then walk independently. Doing that in the appropriate order helps the brain to develop. If you skip some of the steps the brain suffers. When working with stroke patients who have lost many of their abilities it is necessary to start at the beginning with rolling over and go through the full progression because the that’s what the brain needs to develop.Playing is more than just for fun. Kids need to ride a bike because the reciprocal movement of the legs connects the brain and body. Running and playing tag is important because the start and stop motion helps with critical thinking. It teaches the brain to shift quickly. Hide and go seek causes the brain to process as do simple card games. The whole family should get away from technology and engage in play together to help children’s developing brains.What about desk ergonomics?Practice 90/90 sitting. Sit up with your back straight bending at the hips at a 90-degree angle. The knees should go out and bend to the floor at a 90-degree angle. Your shoulders should be over your hips. Sit on a therapy ball or ergonomic pillow for proper pelvis alignment. Place computer so arms don’t rest on desk. They should free float without lifting shoulders up. You can slant the keyboard to get rounded wrist, keep fingers and hands soft like playing piano, Elbows close to 90.While standing do a pelvic tilt to align your core. Don’t compensate by pulling shoulders back or rounding them forward.It’s all about your core. Proximal stability gives you distal function. Proximal means close to and distal means far away. So, stability, strength and alignment in your center or core gives you stable function in your arms and legs. It starts at the core and ripples to the whole body.Why do you need to drink water after you exercise?Lactic acid builds up in the muscles when you exercise. It is metabolic waste. You need to drink water to flush the metabolic waste out of your system.How often do I have to do something for muscle memory to kick in?New habits have to be consistent and concise for 10,000 repetitions over 1 to 6 months. You can expect a change within a few days but not the natural movement obtained by doing lots of repetitions. After you have learned it, to become a master you need to do it more. To rehabilitate from an injury, you need to see a PT for exercises several times a week. However, you need to continue those exercises every day at home, even if for only 10 minutes to get the repetitions needed to create muscle memory and have the new movement be natural. Each repetition helps the brain to process what you need to do. Little by little, a little leads to a lot.When working with patients from infants to older stroke victims, therapy needs to be done on both sides of the body. If you teach them to roll one direction, you need to teach them to roll the other. You need to train both sides of the brain. Work on muscle memory to both sides of the body to create right brain, left brain connection. The corpus callosum connects the left side of the brain to the right side, each side being known as a hemisphere. The connection allows information to pass between the two halves. Each side of the brain controls movement and feeling in the opposite half of the body. The hemispheres also process information, such as language. Physical coordination and taking in complex information require both sides of the brain to work together. The corpus callosum acts as the connector.Can OT keep dementia patients out of nursing homes?Yes, there are simple exercises that dementia patients can do, with assistance as needed, that will help to keep them at home as long as possible. Elderly people with dementia or other debilitating diseases suffer difficulty breathing because of immobility in their rib cage. The rib cage is supposed to expand and contract so by doing the following exercises the rib cage mobility can be increased, allowing easier breathing. At the same time the neurons in the brain are making new connections as the right/left barrier is crossed. For people needing assistance, demonstrate or gently grasp hands and help them move them.Exercises:1. Clasp hands together and rest them in your lap. As you breathe in through your nose, lift your hands up over your head. As you exhale through your mouth, bring them back down to your lap2. Clasp hands at chest level opening arms up and putting them back together as you inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.3. Clasp hands in your lap. Rotate at the waist to touch your left hip with both hands and then go back to the middle. Then rotate and touch your right hip and back to the middle.Lower body strengthening and bending of legs is important to keep knees moving. Play lively music to move to. John Phillips Sousa marches or similar music are familiar to the elderly and help to facilitate the movement. Music helps to develop the corpus callosum in all ages, which is especially important for dementia patients.1. Chair pushups: Put your hands on the arms of a chair and try to sit up taller to work the upper arm triceps and biceps muscles. If it is safe to do so, practice pushing into a standing position.2. Stand at a counter-top and practice side to side walking.3. March with high knees: sitting in a chair, holding a counter or marching around the room depending on ability. This gives the brain the reciprocal movement it needs similar to riding a bike.Hopefully, understanding some of the reasons why we do exercises will help you to do them regularly. And of course, for even more motivation you can always join us in an accountability group.Resources:www.facebook.com/houselifestyleswww.healthaccountabilitycoach.com

Not long ago, the Coastal Conservation League hosted a forum with several mayoral candidates here in Charleston. The candidates discussed the massive problem this city has with flooding, and proposed some technocratic, mediocre solutions for moving forward. We were able to score an interview with a real bonafide, flesh-and-blood candidate, Ricky Teckwhite, who is definitely not someone we just made up for laughs. We also propose some very brief solutions of our own that we'll come back to in future episodes. If you have a masochistic streak, you can watch the glorious discussion in it's entirety on Facebook. Don't say we didn't warn ya. Meanwhile, folks are doing real work here on the ground.
