Bullying How to Prevent Bullying in School: Four Tips for TeachersWhen Alye Pollack’s You-Tube video was aired on The Today Show, many par-ents and teachers were shocked at the

eighth-grader’s cry for help after suffering in silence for two years while being bullied. But several students who were interviewed didn’t share in the same surprise as their grown-up counterparts — some of those knew very well about the bullying in school that was going on. To teachers, Pollack’s video should be a wake-up call that students are much more aware of what’s going on in schools than we are, and it should also be a reminder that cries for help aren’t always as in-your-face as an online video. Bullying happens in nearly every school despite being one of the most significant dis-tractions from a successful education. How can a teacher prevent bullying from happening in the classroom and beyond? Here are four tips that any teacher can implement to help curb bullying in his or her classroom.

Prevent Bullying Tip #1: Create a “Check It at the Door” PolicySome call it a “safe space.” Elementary school teachers sometimes post it as “class rules.” Whatever your policy is called, it’s impor-tant for teachers to create a positive environment for every student the second they step into the classroom. And it’s important that students recognize what they’re entering into as soon as they open the door. A “Check It at the Door” policy is most effective when it’s posted on or outside the door to your classroom, in a place where students must see it every time they walk in the classroom. From time to time, it can also be re-printed, painted or created so that it gets noticed. When you confront theabully, it’s about principles and they’re not able to say that the victim is just over sensitive. Need an example to model? Take a look at the Check It at the Door Declaration of Harmony Cafés around the country.Prevent Bullying Tip #2: Write Everything DownMemory can be fleeting. But when we write down our experiences and document our actions, we’re able to see patterns or uncover truths we didn’t realize. Keeping a teacher’s journal can be very helpful in preventing bullying in your classroom for a number of reasons. Writing something down helps keep it in your memory longer, and you’re more likely to catch something that is recur-ring. When you’ve got written evidence, it’s harder to forget and ignore the problem, making you more pro-active as a teacher — and possibly a life-saver for a bullied student. If you record inci-dents on a computer, you can search for incidents in seconds with a few keystrokes. This comes in especially handy if you’re talking to a parent (of the victim or the bully), another teacher, an admin-istrator or other legal entity.Prevent Bullying Tip #3: Share Your Own Bullying ExperienceEven if you’re a middle or high school teacher, your students are listening -– and looking up to you. Laughter can be a powerful teaching tool, and it’s important to show kids that you were once like them. Think about it: Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been launched

to the top of charts. Why? Kids want to know they’re not alone. Perhaps you had acne, have a disorder of your own, can’t sing a note (but tried out for the school play anyway) or still struggle with inappropriate comments about your weight. Share how you got through it (or get through it), and became a successful profes-sional. Or share with them some famous examples, like child star Taylor Lautner, better known as dream-boy of the Twilight series, who used to be bullied in school because he wanted to be an actor. These anecdotes might spark the confidence in a victim to come forward to an adult or even speak up for themselves.Prevent Bullying Tip #4: Make Yourself Available to StudentsBullying doesn’t always happen in your classroom. In fact, a lot of bullying happens outside of school hours and even off of school grounds –- or online, as cyber bullying. But that doesn’t mean that the effects of bullying don’t trickle into the school day and that teachers are helpless. Often, when students are be-ing bullied, the last thing they want to do is “tattle,” for fear of even more bullying. Thus, if they’re going to approach an adult for help, they’ll often want to do it when no one is around to hear them or at a time when friends are with them. Teachers who show up for class right before the start of the day, eat lunch in the teacher’s lounge every day and zoom out with the dismissal bell aren’t accessible to students who need a listening ear. Just like college professors do, elementary and secondary school teach-ers can post “open office hours,” where students know they can come in and discuss anything from grades to girlfriend woes. And, it doesn’t hurt to attend the occasional sporting event, school dance or academic competition to see peer-to-peer inter-actions outside of the classroom. Ultimately, bullying isn’t easy to eliminate and every situation is different. But it’s far better to be proactive and err on the side of caution as you prevent bullying than learn a student is hurting themselves –- or worse -– because no one seemed to notice.

Decipher aheadache’s clues

to determine most effective treatment

options(ARA) - Nothing ruins a perfectly fine day quite like a headache. The pain can be impeding, disori-enting and sometimes even nauseating. Roughly 45 million Americans suffer from recurring headaches, according to the National Headache Foundation. However, not all headaches are created equal. There are several different types, each with varying symp-toms. Understanding different headache causes and treatments can help individuals be prepared. Tension headaches, otherwise known as “stress” headaches, are the most common among adults. Symptoms include mild to moderate pain across the forehead or on the sides and back of the head and neck. This headache is often accompanied by a feeling of pressure or tightness. Tension headaches can be triggered by a wide range of factors, such as stress, fatigue, anxiety, hunger or poor posture. The most effective way to treat a tension headache is to take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever and rest until the symptoms subside. Migraine headache symptoms may involve moderate to severe pain. Patients who have sensi-

tivity to light and sound may also experience nau-sea and dizziness. Migraine pain is often described as pounding or throbbing and is usually one-sided, lasting between four hours and three days. Unfor-tunately for migraine sufferers, these headaches are often hereditary and recurring. An OTC analgesic combination can be used as a first-line treatment, but this is most effective when used at or near the onset of a headache, or in conjunction with a prescription medication indicated for the treatment of migraines. Cluster headaches are another variation, and are the least common. Cluster headaches occur more often in men, and happen several times a day, at the same time of day, for a period of time lasting five minutes to an hour. These headaches can cycle for up to a month or longer. This intense pain can be described as a burning or piercing feeling in or around the eye on one side of the head. The patient may also experience eyelid swelling, redness and tearing on one side. Those who suffer from cluster headaches often feel they cannot sit still and will pace during an attack. As with migraines, there are specific medical treatments available to decrease the duration and severity of cluster headaches. Sinus headaches occur when a person’s sinus passages become inflamed or clogged, causing a feeling of pressure in the face. People often con-fuse tension or migraine headaches with sinus head-aches, as the symptoms overlap. A key difference is that these headaches are usually accompanied by other sinus-related symptoms, such as stuffiness,

fever, cough and sore throat. To treat a sinus head-ache, OTC pain relievers can be used to decrease the pain, while an OTC decongestant can help re-duce nasal passage swelling. “There are a number of very effective over-the-counter first-line treatments available to address the symptoms of headaches,” says Dr. Gary Ruoff, a physician certified in headache management and the author of numerous articles on headaches and pain management. “In fact, I recommend many of the ‘store-brand’ pain relievers sold at leading re-tailers and pharmacies, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. These products are approved by the FDA and use the exact same active ingredients, but cost significantly less than the brand names.” Allegan, Mich.-based Perrigo is a pharmaceutical company that manufactures and distributes most of the over-the-counter medications found under store-brand labels at leading national retailers, grocers and pharmacies. According to Perrigo, these prod-ucts are the primary treatments available over-the-counter for tension, migraine and sinus headaches:* Pain relievers: acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin * Migraine relief: acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine combination pills * Decongestants: pseudoephedrine, oxymetazoline “If you continue to experience headaches of any type for any prolonged period of time, I suggest following up with your doctor so he or she may evaluate you for any other underlying conditions and suggest the best course of treatment for your situation,” Ruoff says.

EmbracingModern

TechnologyTECHTAlk

Technology changes our lives, I don’t think anyone can argue against that point. And the state of Maryland was a different place before cell phones were invented. Cell phones were not only invented, they are everywhere. Almost everyone pretty much has access to a cell phone. Monthly rates are consumer level low and long dis-tance charges are a thing of the past. In addition to providing verbal communica-tion, most cell phones have the “text” ca-pability. You can add surfing the internet and checking your e-mail to the new PDA cell phones capabilities. OK, Larry we all know that stuff, who is breaking the law? A lot of us are break-ing the law, that’s who. The next time you are on the road in your car, look around and see how many people are talking on their cell phones or texting or maybe even

reading their email. Yeah dude, but every-body uses their cell phones in the car, who is breaking the law? I might not have all of the legal-ese correct, but as I understand it, hand-held use of a cell phone while driving, is now against the law in MD. Yeah, but every-body talks on their phone in the car, how can that be illegal? I didn’t say that talk-ing was illegal, hand-held use of a cell phone is illegal. Enter another technolo-gy, “Bluetooth”. I get it, so holding a cell phone is illegal, but using a “hands free” device with a cell phone is permitted. So what’s a “Bluetooth”? Bluetooth is a wireless technology that transmits and receives signals over short distances. So a Bluetooth headset or ear bud can be used wirelessly with a cell phone. There are also Bluetooth keyboards, mouses (or

is it mice?), heart rate monitors and other devices which eliminate the wires. I have to admit that I have questions about the new law. If you use a hands free device like a Bluetooth ear bud, you are legal. But you still have to search your contacts or dial the phone to make a call. To me its not the talking that is danger-ous but the eyes off the road and dialing that is dangerous. So is dialing illegal? I understand that texting and surfing the in-ternet are just bad ideas while driving and should be illegal. But who is to say that I am dialing and not texting? Maybe the new law puts the judgment on Police Officers. Was that driver tex-ting, dialing, or talking without a hands free device? Or if a driver has a hands free device, does the violation go away? I have and use a Bluetooth hands free ear bud. It took some getting use to, but I re-ally like it now. But admittedly, there are times such as dialing that I have to touch the phone and look away from the road. What if sometime in the future, there was a phone that you could talk to and op-erate totally hands free? Something like, hey phone, read me my text messages? Or my wife might say to her iPhone, call Larry (she never calls me). Then of course her iPhone would actually dial my num-ber and she would talk on her Bluetooth hands free headset. Now that’s “hands free”! Yeah, but hey Einstein, that will never happen on a small device like a PDA or cell phone. Sorry dude, it is al-ready on the market! The new iPhone 4S has something

called “Siri”. Siri turns the new iPhone into a speech recognition device. It will read you your texts, emails, record and send outgoing texts, reminders and man-age your calendar, all by simply talking to it. The other day my wife wanted to check on a prescription while driving. She simply said, “Siri, please call Rite Aid in Chester, MD. And what if that capability was in-tegrated with our home audio and video systems? I could say something like, go to ESPN. Or what time are the Ravens on this week? Or please play the Allman Brothers Band in Dolby Digital. HOLD UP! That’s a whole ‘nother article wait-ing to be written! Today is about keeping our eyes on the road! The new MD cell phone law says that fines will range from $40 to $100 for vio-lations. I don’t know of anyone that has been fined, but I see many, many viola-tors. Maybe the court of public opinion doesn’t yet recognize the danger or poten-tial of driver inattention. But Officer, my mother called me, I had to answer. Sorry, tell it to the Judge! Steve Jobs is gone, but another one of his technologies is here and making us safer. I will look for Siri to be integrated with many new devices in the very near future. You might not own an iPhone 4S, but please, keep your eyes on the road and your hands behind the wheel! Larry Dent is the Owner of Cheapeake Home Theatre & Hi-Fi.

QACHS Marching Lions Band is a Bronze Level Finalist at the 2011 T.O.B. Atlantic Coast Championships. Saturday morning the Marching Lions Band traveled up to Hershey, PA for the 2011 Tournament of Bands Atlantic Coast Championships. Coming out of last week’s Regional Chapter Championships as the Regional Champions, they advanced on to the post season champion-ships ranked in the #12 position in all of the Tournament of Band’s Competi-tion Circuit. The band once again showed the evidence of their hard work from this past week and improved their score another 2.05 points for a final season score of an 89.1. This is a total improvement in score over a five week period of 12.65 points. After doing some research in the T.O.B. Archives, we also discovered this to be the highest score in the band’s T.O.B. history. If you have not had a chance to see them perform their show, come out Friday night as they perform at the QACHS vs KIHS varsity football game. Thanks to Eric Wright for the award winning news and congrats to the Marching Lions


Maryland Maryland

our

Worcester CountyWorcester County refers to itself as “a small world of

wonders”, and rightfully so! Assateague Island National Seashore, Worcester County, has been named by Dr. Beach as “one of the top five ‘Best Beaches on the East Coast’.” Worcester is proud to an-nounce its status as Maryland’s only sea-side county. The extremely popular resort of Ocean City is nearby, but Worcester is pleased to add the country ambience of its central and southern areas for a more well-rounded “presentation”. Worcester County is also well known for champion-ship golf courses, deep-sea fishing, his-toric towns and villages, and especially their clean, sandy beaches of Ocean City and Assateague Island National Seashore. Visitors are always welcome to come and enjoy their serene coastal bays and rivers, and scenic byways whose destinations take one on tours of pristine environments known as a “birdwatcher’s paradise”. The county seat of Worcester County is Snow Hill. Snow Hill is one of four towns in Worcester County. The other three are: Berlin, Ocean City, and Pocomoke City. Shipbuilding, brick manufacturing, the smelting of iron from bog ore found along the Pocomoke River, and the shipping of tobacco and lumber flourished throughout the late 1700s and early 1800s. Poco-moke City and Snow Hill were the prin-cipal developments along the river. The historic district of Snow Hill is well repre-sented with over 100 houses that are over 100 years old. A walking tour brochure is available to guide visitors through a his-toric trove that is said to be unparalleled in Maryland and one of the best treasures of the Lower Eastern Shore. If one should take a stroll down Main Street in Berlin, he or she would be trac-ing the steps once taken by the Assateague and Pocomoke Indians. Berlin was ac-quired as a 300-acre 1677 land grant. Berlin actually began in the 1790s and is the birthplace of Rev. C. Tindley, com-poser of the song, “We Shall Overcome” as well as Stephen Decatur, the19th cen-tury naval hero. Today, tree-lined streets are homes to art galleries, historical sites, and other establishments. Ocean City is a fine resort that is well known near and far. In 1872 early devel-opers named it the “ladies’ resort of the ocean”. The first hotel, the Atlantic, still stands. The resort increased in popular-ity through the construction of a railroad bridge, then continued to thrive by con-struction of the famous boardwalk in 1910. The resort was ravaged by a hur-ricane in 1933. However, the heavy seas

actually opened an inlet separating the town from what is now Assateague Is-land. The inlet created a safe harbor for fishing and boosted the town’s economy. Someone (name unknown) dubbed Po-comoke, “friendliest town on the shore”. Pocomoke was settled in the 1600s on the bank of the Pocomoke River, finally being named Pocomoke City in 1878. Shipbuilding was the largest enterprise through the early 1900s. More than 200 vessels, from luxury ocean-going schoo-ners to steamships, were built during that period. The Pocomoke River has been designated as a “wild and scenic” river by the State of Maryland. Its surrounding wetlands serve as a sanctuary for more than 127 species of birds and waterfowl. There is a great deal of African Ameri-can heritage in Worcester County. Also, it is important to note that the county has a strong history of resistance to slav-ery through numerous claims that many houses were used as a stop along the Un-derground Railroad. The density of the Pocomoke River served to aid numerous slaves during their escapes to freedom. Following the Civil War, many former black slaves returned to livelihoods that they had known before the war, some-times hiring back as sharecroppers for their previous masters. For a free, color brochure, call: 1-800-852-0335. Another specialty of Worcester County is “Just for Kids”. Children are invited to explore a genuine wilderness at As-sateague Island State Park’s habitats, learn canoe and kayak safety, salt marsh exploration, kite flying, nature experi-ments, experience the wild ponies at As-sateague Island, cast off on a childhood fantasy, and many, many other events/experiences. If bird watching is your hobby, Worces-ter County is a place that you will not want to miss. There are more species of birds that have been sighted in Worcester than in any other county in Maryland! Among all the counties that I’ve experi-enced to date, none has been more diverse and fascinating than Worcester County! This is so true of Maryland our Mary-land; everywhere we go, we experience wonderful places and things we weren’t expecting yet pleasantly surprised. If you would like more information on Worces-ter County, contact Worcester County Tourism at www.visitworcester.org or call 1-800-852-0335. My sincere appre-ciation goes to Worcester County Tourism for furnishing information to me for use in this article.

Queen Anne’s Emergency Center Lab Receives Accreditation

The Queen Anne’s Emergency Center Laboratory recently received accreditation by the American College of Pathologists (CAP).

Under the direction of Reinhardt O. Samuel, MD, PhD, vice chief of Pathology for Shore Health Sys-tem, the Queen Anne’s Emergency Center lab is one of more than 7,000 CAP accredited laboratories worldwide.

Hospice of Queen Anne’s Announces

New VolunteersNine residents from Queen Anne’s and Talbot coun-ties recently completed the Hospice of Queen Anne’s 16-hour patient-family volunteer training program which, with the completion of supervised practice, qualifies them to provide emotional support and prac-tical assistance to patients, families and caregivers. The comprehensive training program is designed to teach volunteers how to companion a patient at the end of life and prepare them with the knowledge and skills to enhance comfort and quality of life. Trainees explore their own feelings about death and dying as they learn how to be with a patient at one of the most vulnerable times in life. Something as simple as holding a hand, playing cards or listening to music together are some of the activities patients enjoy with their volunteers. “Volunteers bring a different perspective to the patient and family. They are vital to the hospice care team be-cause they truly come to us with an open heart and no self-serving agenda other than the love and caring they bring just by their presence in a home,” said Sharon Loving, supervisor of support services for Hospice of Queen Anne’s. For individuals who want to help hospice but are not interested in working directly with patients, Hospice of Queen Anne’s has a variety of non-patient related opportunities. In most cases, the patient-family vol-unteer training program is not required. To enroll in volunteer training or inquire about available volunteer opportunities, contact Jennifer Thomas at 443-262-4112 or e-mail [email protected]. For additional information about hospice care, visit the website at www.hospiceofqueenannes.org.

New volunteers completing Hospice of Queen Anne’s 16-hour training program are: Back row, from left Gail Schaf-fer, Lisa Menditch, Cynthia Backer, Deborah Dingley; Front row, from left are Teresa Baumann, Catherine Knisley, Stephanie Branham, Shelly Kulp and Barbara Galloway.
