Your Muscular System


The muscular system ismade up of tissues that workwith the skeletal system tocontrol movement of thebody. Without muscles, youcouldnt open your mouth,breathe, shake hands, walk,talk or move your foodthrough your digestive sys-tem. Without muscles, youwould not be able to do any-thing!

Everyones body weight isabout 40% muscle. Thereare over 630 muscles that

help you move. Muscles cant push - they pull. Muscles often workin pairs so that they can pull in different or opposite directions.

The cells that make up your muscles contract and then relax. Mi-croscopic fibers in these cells compress by sliding in past each otherlike a sliding door when you open and shut it. The cells are fed bychemical energy from the food you eat.

There are three different types of muscles. The first is the Cardiacmuscles that are found only in your heart. They power the action thatpumps blood throughout your body. The second type are smoothmuscles and like the cardiac muscles - they are involuntary. Thatmeans that you dont know when they are doing their job! Some ex-amples are - when you breath (movement of your diaphragm) or whenyour eyes blink! Or when you digest the food you eat! They are au-tomatic movements that are controlled by the nervous system andhormones. The third type are muscles known as voluntary or skele-tal muscles. They only work when you tell them to. Like the musclesin your arms and legs that help you walk or pick things up.

You can also hurt your muscles - like pulling or tearing them. But,they can most often heal themselves because they are living bodyparts!

Interesting Facts: You have over 30 facial muscles which create looks like surprise,happiness, sadness and frowning. Eye muscles are the busiest muscles in the body. Scientists esti-

mate they may move more than 100,000 times per day! The largest muscles in the body is the gluteus maximus muscles inthe buttocks.

Its that time of the year again to go in search of the Great Pump-kin. But have you ever wondered how did your pumpkin grow?Gather up the family and lets head to your favorite pumpkin patchand find out.

Your pumpkins life started a few months ago. The farmer had tocarefully chose the spot for planting the patch, a large area with a lotof sunshine. Sometime after the earth had warmed from the winterand the mornings were no longer frosty in late May and early June,the pumpkin seeds were planted into the dark rich soil. The sun con-tinued to warm the earth and rain fell on the land. Deep in the soil,the pumpkin seed grew roots and leaves began to appear out of thedirt. The leaves grew large and after five weeks, the first flowers ap-peared. It contained two kinds of flowers - a male and a female

flower. The male flow-ers had a stamen inthe center that con-tained the pollen. Thefemale flower had ababy pumpkin at itsbase. The pumpkinvines big bright flow-ers attracted many in-sects. They wouldcome often to visit theflowers and as theywalked from the maleflower to the femaleflower, pollination oc-curred.

The flowers then fellfrom the plant and thepumpkin began togrow. It seemed togrow slowly at first andlooked just like a smallgreen ball. Within afew weeks, it grew tothe size of a basket-ball. Pumpkin plantsare very thirsty so the

The Perfect Pumpkinfarmer had to make sure that your pumpkin had plenty of water. Thepumpkin plant grew and stretched into long vines that covered theground. In August and into September, the pumpkin started to changeits color from green into orange. Now its October and the patchboasts of big, beautiful, orange pumpkins. So, let the search beginfor your perfect pumpkin!

Once you get your pumpkin home, the best way to keep your pump-kin fresh is to protect it from cold weather and bacteria that can makeit sick and rot too soon. On nights when the weatherman says it willfreeze, put your pumpkin in the garage or basement.

Next comes the fun part! Deciding what to do with your pumpkin!You could use it as a decoration for your Thanksgiving table, paint itwith a smile like your own, or carve it to make a jack-o-lantern. Letyour creative juices flow. You can use yarn for hair, vegetables for fa-cial features, even add earrings and dress them up with clothes!

After Halloween, do not throw away your pumpkin! If you have a fewseeds left inside the shell, you can recycle your pumpkin by putting itin your garden over the winter. After the snow falls and spring beginsto warm the earth, Mother Nature may leave you a surprise! A newpumpkin plant of your own!

Pumpkin Seed RecipeIngredients:Seeds from 1 pumpkin4 Tablespoons butter1/2 teaspoon garlic salt2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce

The Violin!One of the best known instruments in the orchestra is the violin.

The violin can be traced back to Italy in the early 1500s. The vio-lin was officially designed by Andrea Amati, an Italian lute maker.Amati was asked to build the violin as a lighter alternative to thelyre.

The violin is played with a bow. It is the highest pitched instru-ment in the violin family which includes the cello, the vass viol andthe viola. It is made up of the front, ribs, neck, fingerboard, pegbox,

the scroll, the bridge,the tailpiece, chinrest and the f-holes.It has four strings (G, D, A, and E )which are fastenedto the tailpiece, restover the fingerboardand run to the peg-box. At the pegbox,the strings are at-tached to the tuningpegs. By turningthese pegs, the violincan be tuned. Whenthe musicianchanges finger posi-tions on the strings,different notes aremade. The bow isdrawn across thestrings which soundthe tone.

In the 17th and18th centuries, thecraft of violin makingbegan. Artists such

Itzhak PerlmanIsreali-born United States violinist, Itzhak Perlman has been

noted as being among the leading violinists before the public. Inthe twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, no other concert vi-olinist hasachieved thewidespread ex-posure or popu-larity attained byPerlman.

Despite a boutwith polio at theage of four thatleft his legs par-alyzed, he wasa prodigy andmade his U.S.television debutat age 13 on the Ed Sullivan Show. Taking up residence in NewYork City, he enrolled in Julliard School of Music. There is stud-ied with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay. Recognition of hisgifts led to a highly successful career as orchestral soloist andchamber-music player, with scores of recordings. Blessed with apopular touch, he has appeared on television, played jazz andklezmer music, and involved himself in educating young musi-cians.

as Antonio Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri and Jacob Stainermade them in their workshops. Antonio Stradivarius is responsi-ble for creating possibly the best violin in the world named afterhimself, the Stradivarius. Many professional violinists choose toplay this instrument and they can sell for millions of dollars.

At first, the violin wasnt very popular and considered low sta-tus socially. But by the 1800s, well known composers such asClaudio Monteverdi used the violin in operas. The violin began togain some stature in the Baroque period as more known com-posers began using the violin in their works. One of these com-posers was Johann Sebastian Bach. By the mid-18th century,the violin was a vital part in instrumental music. It wasnt until the19th century that violin virtuosos emerged.

GrandmaMoses

Anna Mary Robertson, known as Grandma Moses was born inGreenwich, New York on September 7, 1860. She was the thirdof ten children born to Russel King Robertson and Margaret Shan-nahan. She had a happy childhood and worked hard on the fam-ily farm. Her father would buy large sheets of blank newspaperand the children would draw. Anna would draw happy, colorfulscenes. Her education was limited as she could only attendschool in the summer due to the cold climate and her lack of warmclothing. At the age of twelve, Anna began earning her living as ahired girl at homes near their farm.

In 1887, Anna married a farm worker named Thomas S. Moses.They settled on a farm in Virginia. Having five children that sur-vived, they moved to Eagle Bridge, New York where she spent therest of her life.

It was here where she painted her first painting. The story goesthat she was wallpapering and ran out of paper, so she put upwhite paper and painted a scene later known as the Fireboard.Her earliest work used embroidery. She embroidered pictureswhat were greatly admired. At the age of seventy-six, because ofarthritis, she began to paint in earnest. Her early work was mostlybased on scenes she found in illustrated books.

In 1938, Annas paintings were discovered by an art collector,Louis Caldor. In October 1939, three of these paintings were ex-hibited at the Contemporary Unknown Painters show at NewYorks Museum of Modern Art. Her first individual showing washeld in New York City in 1940 and she immediately became fa-mous. By 1943 there was an overwhelming demand for her Amer-ican Primitive pictures, partially because her homespun, countryscenes brought about wonderful feelings and memories for manypeople.

She quickly became known as Grandma Moses by the pressand the name stuck. On September 19, 1960 LIFE magazine cel-ebrated her 100th birthday featuring her on its cover. New YorkGovernor Nelson Rockefeller also proclaimed her 100th birthday

as GrandmaMoses Day inher honor.

Her paintingswere used topublicize manyAmerican holi-days includingThanksgiving,Christmas andMothers Day.They werealso repro-duced onChristmas dards, tiles and fabrics in America. At the age of 100,she illustrated Twas the Night before Christmas by ClementMoore.

Halloween is fun because you use your imagination, create a cos-tume and trick or treat! Thats all good, but safety has to play an im-portant role on Halloween Trick or Treat time. Here are a few tipsto help.

Pumpkin Safety Tips Decorate your pumpkin with markers or paint. Leave the carvingto the adults. Use candles carefully. Candle lit pumpkins need to be away fromanything flammable like curtains. Never leave them unattended orbetter yet - use flashlights or battery operated flameless candles.

Home Front Tips Clean up and put away anything that a trick or treater could tripover. Turn the lights on. Control your pets. Take no chances that the family pet may getfrightened or bite someone. Consider sugar substitutes like stickers, pencils, rubber insects,etc.

Costume Safety Tips Create a costume that is bright in color. Trick or treating is tradi-tionally held during the evening so your costume needs to be seenby both pedestrians and vehicles. A good idea is to use reflectivematerials or tape attached to your childs costume and trick or treatbag. A flame retardent costume is also a good idea. Make sure thecostume fits well, including the shoes and you have plenty of roomto dress warmly. A mask can obstruct your vision - make sure it fits and you cansee. How about make-up instead? Test costume makeup on asmall area of skin to make sure you are not allergic to it. Any weapons or props should look and feel harmless and bebrightly colored. Make sure they are bendable and do not have anypointed ends.

Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips Never go into a strangers house and only accept treats in thedoorway. When you are trick or treating, make sure your parents or a re-

sponsible adult is with you at all times. Never trick or treatalone. Be careful when you cross a street. Look in all directionsand make sure there is not a car coming. If you are withyounger children, take their hand and help them cross. Crossthe street at the corner or at a crosswalk. Do not cut throughback alleys or fields. Do not get into a strangers car. Plan your entire route a head of time. Be sure to say thank you for your treats. Be careful walking near lit pumpkins or luminaries. Only go to houses where the lights are on. Walk on sidewalks or driveways. Make sure someone has a cellular phone in case of emer-gency. Carry a flashlight or glow stick to make you more visible. Go out trick or treating only during specified times for yourneighborhood. Have your parents check your candy BEFORE you eat itwhen you get home. Keep only the treats that are unopenedwith wrappers that arent torn or have holes in them. After youeat candy, dont forget to brush your teeth!

Halloween can be so much fun, so be safe this year and havea wonderful time.

Trick Or TreatSafely



Warren G. Harding29th President of the United States 1921-1923

Warren G. Harding was born on November 2, 1865 in Corsica, Ohio.Both of his parents were doctors. He grew up on a farm and went toa small local school. At age 15, he attended Ohio Central Collegeand graduated in 1882. Before even buying his first newspaper busi-ness, he was a teacher, an insurance salesman and a newspaper re-porter.

On July 8, 1891, he married Florence DeWolfe. She was a divorceethat was five years older than Warren Harding. She had a son, Mar-shall. They were said to compliment each other with Hardings friendlypersonality and Florences no nonsense approach to life.

The newspaper Warren Harding purchased was called the MarionStar. This paper became a favorite with Ohio politicians of both par-ties because of Hardings reporting. Florence had strong businesssense and helped him turn the newspaper into a profitable business.

In 1899, he was elected an Ohio State Senator, then a LieutenantGovernor and next a U.S. Senator from Ohio in 1914. He served until1921 when he became President. He ran as the Republican candi-date with Calvin Coolidge and won the election.

History hasnt served President Harding well. He rarely took a firmstand on an issue. He appointed some capable men to his cabinet likeHerbert Hoover, Andrew Mellon and Charles Hughes, but he also sur-rounded himself with old friends in powerful positions. Those men be-came known as the Ohio gang. Many of these men were chargedwith defrauding the government. Harding himself, was never linked toanything crooked. Upset by the talk of corruption among thesefriends, he and his wife Florence, organized a tour of the Westernstates and Alaska. This was an attempt to meet people and explainhis policies.

After becoming ill with food poisoning, Harding had a heart attackand died. His early death probably saved him from impeachment overthe many scandals of his administration.

The most significant scandal was that of Teapot Dome. Secretaryof the Interior, Albert Fall, secretly sold the right to oil reserves inTeapot Dome, Wyoming to a private company in exchange for$308,000 and some cattle. He also sold the rights to other national oilreserves. He was caught and ended up being sentenced to one yearin jail. In addition in 1921, President Harding refused U.S. admittance

to the League of Nations.

President Harding Trivia: He was the first President to ride to his inauguration in an automobile. President Harding was the first President to visit both Alaska andCanada. He was the first President to give a speech over the radio.
