It’s 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 let’s head to your favorite pumpkin patchand find out.

Your pumpkin’s 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 pumpkinvine’s 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 changeit’s color from green into orange. Now it’s 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

Your Muscular System


The muscular system ismade up of tissues that workwith the skeletal system tocontrol movement of thebody. Without muscles, youcouldn’t 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!

Everyone’s body weight isabout 40% muscle. Thereare over 630 muscles that

help you move. Muscles can’t 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 don’t 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.

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 1500’s. 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 wasn’t very popular and considered low sta-tus socially. But by the 1800’s, 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 wasn’t until the19th century that violin virtuosos emerged.
