Go for the GoldI don’t know about all of you,

but I love the Summer Olympics!The track and field events leaveyou on the edge of your seat and Imarvel at the speed and grace ofthe swimmers. My favorite event isgymnastics! I remember as a childI would practice on a make-shiftbalance beam in my backyard. Ofcourse that was a bit unnerving formy parents, so I was signed up atgymnastic lessons at the localcommunity center. Consideringthat I was about 5 to 6 inchestaller than the other girls (andboys), I turned out not to be thesuperstar of the team in terms ofgrace, but you should have seenme on the parallel bars and thevault. My length and speeddefinitely helped me in thoseevents. My plastic medals fromlocal events sure felt like goldmedals to me! Oh, those werethe days.

Here are some interesting factsabout the Olympics:

Real Gold MedalsThe last Olympic gold medals

that were made entirely out ofgold were awarded in 1912.

The Olympic FlagCreated by Pierre de Coubertin

in 1914, the Olympic flagcontains five interconnected ringson a white background. The fiverings symbolize the five significantcontinents and are interconnectedto symbolize the friendship to begained from these internationalcompetitions. The rings, from leftto right, are blue, yellow, black,green and red. The colors werechosen because at least one ofthem appeared on the flag ofevery country in the world. TheOlympic flag was first flownduring the 1920 Olympic Games.

WomenWomen were first allowed to

participate in 1900 at the secondmodern Olympic Games.

Enjoy the 2016 SummerOlympics in Rio! I can’t wait tosee the United States bring homethe gold!

Physical Activity forOlder Adults

Many people decrease theirexercise as they age but continuingto exercise has definite benefits forolder people. Being fit isimportant to everyone. Flexibilityand stretching, which helpprovide a full range of motion formuscles and joints, can help youfunction better. Everyday tasksthat are difficult, such as gettingup, walking, tying shoelaces orreaching to a shelf may becomeeasier. When you stay flexible, youalso keep a more natural walkingpattern and decrease your chanceof falling. Most flexibility that isseemingly lost through aging iscaused not only by aging but alsoby inactivity or lack of movement.Aerobic exercise strengthens theheart and reduces the risk ofcoronary artery disease. It can alsoincrease the amount of sleep youget at night and may reduce thetime it takes to fall asleep.

Strengthening exercises canhelp you maintain your muscle,strengthen bones, and protectknees and other joints. Theseexercises may include resistancetraining, such as lifting weights,and weight bearing, such aswalking, jogging or dancing.

Your physical activity does nothave to be strenuous. Older adultscan gain significant healthbenefits with a moderate amountof physical activity. This can bedone in longer sessions of

moderately intense activities suchas walking or in shorter sessionsof more vigorous activities such asfast walking or stair walking. Youcan benefit from physical activityeven if you think of yourself aselderly or you already have oldage conditions such asosteoarthritis or heart disease.Being more active may improveyour quality of life and canprevent or delay disability.

It is advisable to talk to yourdoctor before starting a fitnessprogram. You may have healthproblems that limit what youcan do.

Remember When:Blackboards

For many students, theblackboard was a classroomfixture, and cleaning its eraserswas a common school day chore.The black slate boards werereportedly first used at the U.S.Military Academy at West Point,N.Y., in 1801. In the 1960s,schools changed to boards thatwere made of steel, coated withporcelain-based enamel andtinted green. The color wasconsidered easier on the eyes, andchalk lines erased more easilyfrom the coated surface.

DISCOVERIESUnusual Facts about theAmerican REVOLUTION

Sabrina Rojas Weiss posted onAncestry.com the followinginteresting and little-known factsabout our Revolutionary War.

The Boston Tea Party Had aSequel - We all know that onDecember 16, 1773, Boston’sSons of Liberty dressed asMohawk Indians and tossed 342chests of tea into the BostonHarbor to protest the taxesimposed in the Tea Act. But weforget that they felt the need tohammer the point home with asecond party, on March 7, 1774 —probably because they grabbedonly 16 chests of tea.

Sweet Revenge - While it wascommon practice for Patriots totar and feather Loyalists, theDaughters of Liberty had a lesspainful alternative: They usedmolasses and flowers instead.

Drag King on the Front Line -In 1782, 21-year-old DeborahSampson dressed as a man, calledherself Robert Shurtlieff Sampson(after a deceased brother), andenlisted in the FourthMassachusetts Regiment of theContinental Army. She serveduntil a doctor discovered hersecret while treating her for anunhealed injury. She wasdischarged with honor.

Forget That Paul Revere Guy,

Meet Sybil - The Bostonsilversmith was actuallyaccompanied by 40 other men onhis midnight ride to sound thealarm that the British werecoming. But two years later,16-year-old Sybil Ludington, thedaughter of a colonel, rode 40miles on her own from 9 p.m. todawn to alert New York militiamembers that the Brits wereburning down Danbury,Connecticut.

British Invasion on Broadway- In cities such as New York thatwere controlled by the BritishArmy, some soldiers took time toact in professionally producedplays during the war.

Jack Sparrow, Patriot? - Sincethey didn’t have money for a bigNavy, the Continental Congresshired privateers, aka pirates, toattack British ships. They werethen supposed to split the bootywith the U.S.

Thank That French Kid - TheMarquis de Lafayette, who wasinstrumental in GeneralWashington’s defeat of the Britishat Yorktown in 1781, was only 19when he became a major generalin 1777.

George Washington’s TeethWere a Lie - The general’sdentures weren’t made of wood,as legend has it, but rather ofhippopotamus ivory and cows’teeth, held in place by metalsprings. Fancy!
