Alexander Graham Bell Alexander Graham Bell was an influential scientist, engineer and inventor. The following are some interesting facts about this man.

• He was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was educated at the universities of Edinburgh and London. Bell immigrated to Canada in 1870 and to the United States in 1871. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1882.

• He is widely credited with the invention of the first practical telephone.

• He didn’t have the middle name “Graham” until he turned 11. His father gave him his middle name as a birthday present as he wanted a middle name like his two brothers.

• Bell was an excellent piano player at a young age.

• His mother and wife were both deaf and this had a major influence on his work. He studied the human voice and worked with various schools for the deaf. In 1872, he founded a school to train teachers of the deaf in Boston, Massachusetts and became part of Boston University • Bell experimented with sound, working with devices such as a ‘harmonic telegraph’ (used to send multiple messages over a single wire) and a ‘phonautograph’ (used to record sound).

• He worked on acoustic telegraphy with his assistant, electrical designer Thomas Watson.

• On February 14, 1876, Bell and an American electrical engineer named Elisha Gray both filed patents with the U.S. Patent Office covering the transmission of sounds telegraphically. There is debate about who got there first but the patent was awarded to Bell.

A few days later he succeeded in getting his telephone to work using elements similar to those of Gray’s water transmitter. Bells first words with the working telephone were spoken to Thomas Watson. They were along the lines of “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” At the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadel-

phia, Pennsylvania, telephone was introduced to the world. In 1877, the Bell Telephone Company was established.

• He had a strong interest in other scientific fields, conducting medical research, searching for alternative fuel sources, experimenting with metal detectors, developing hydrofoil watercraft and more. Other inventions include audiometer, the induction balance, and the first wax recording cylinder.

• Bell was one of the cofounders of the National Geographic Society.

• Bell’s summer home is located at Baddeck on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. Most of his inventions on aeronautics were first tested near his summer home in Canada.

• His study of flight began with the construction of large kites, and in 1907 he devised a kite capable of carrying a person.

• Bell, with the American inventor and aviator Glenn Hammond Curtiss, developed the aileron and the tricycle landing gear.

• His group also started working on hydrofoil boats, which travel above the water at high speeds. Bell’s final full-sized “hydrodrome,” developed in 1917, reached speeds in excess of 113 km/h for many years were the world’s fastest boat.

Let’s Talk...

All kids get teased by a brother, sister, or friend at some time and it’s not harmful when done in a playful, friendly, mutual way.

But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind and constant, it can cross the line into bullying. Bullying is intentional, persistant aggressin and can take on many forms.

Types Of Bullying ►Verbal: Name calling, teasing ►Social: Spreading rumors, leaving people out on purpose, breaking up friendships. ►Physical: Hitting, punching, shoving, kicking. ►Cyberbullying: Using the internet, cell phones or other digital technology to harm others.

It is important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off.

It’s a BIG problem to many children. Bullies can make kids feel frightened, sick, embarrassed, hurt, lonely, not wanting to play outside, or go to school. Bullying bothers everyone, not just the kids who are getting picked on.

There are many reasons that kids bully others. Some bullies torment others because that is the way they have been treated.

They come from families or settings where people regularly get angry, shout and call names. Some TV shows promote meanness. Some bullies need a victim to feel more important or popular or in control.

How To Combat Bullying ►First of all - tell an adult. Find someone you trust and tell them what is happening. Teachers, principals, parents can all try to help you. This is not tattling, bullying is wrong. Here are some ideas. ►Avoid the bully and use the buddy system. Take another way home instead of walking the same way if you can. Buddy up with a friend on the bus, in the hallways or at recess, wherever the bully is. Always offer to do the same for a friend in need. ►It is normal to get upset by the bully. Practice not reacting by crying, getting angry or showing how upset you are. That is what the bullies thrive on. Tell the bully "No! Stop it!" in a loud voice.

Keep your “poker face” on until you are clear of danger. Be brave, take a deep breath, walk away (or run if you have to) to a safe place.

►Remove the incentives.

If they are demanding your lunch money carry your lunch and tell a supervising adult. ►Stay with friends who will help you build your confidence. Get involved with clubs or sports programs. Find activities that can help you learn and feel confident and strong. Maybe it’s a self-defense class teaching martial arts. ►If you see another child getting bullied at your school, tell an adult! Kids can protect and stand up for each other by telling a bully to stop teasing or scaring someone else, and then walk away together. ►Don’t bully back. Don’t hit, kick or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. That just satisfies the bully and it’s dangerous as someone can really get hurt. Get help from an adult.

Bullies usually end up in trouble. If they keep acting out they will have fewer friends sooner or later. Every kid has a choice of how to behave and act. Bullies can learn to change their behavior.

Some kids who bully eventually realize that they don’t get the respect or friends they want by threatening others. Teachers, counselors and parents can help them too. Bullies can change if they learn to use their power in positive ways. Some bullies turn into great kids and some never learn how to do that.

No one needs to put up with a bully’s behavior. If you’re having trouble, talk to someone you can trust. Everyone has the right to feel safe.

HOLT PUBLIC SCHOOLS So You Want to be in the Band?

by Dennis Marvin President Holt High School Band Boosters “So You Want to be in the Band?,� presented by the Holt High School Band Boosters provides information about the high school band experience with the next three summer issues featuring interviews with the Band Directors from the Middle Schools, Junior High, and High School. The Band Boosters hopes this article will encourage kids to think about music, learning an instrument, and joining the band in middle school and for the rest of their years in Holt Public Schools Mr. Michael Emerson Mr. Emerson is the Director of Bands at Holt Senior High School. The following questions were posed by the Holt Band Boosters (HBB): HBB: As you think back in your life, why did you decide to join the school band and get involved in music?

I was always involved in music. My Dad sang in the church choir and we sang a lot. I had done piano, but the only reason I joined the band is that when I was in 6th grade, the band director said she had heard a rumor that I was interested in joining the band even though I was one year late when I could have joined. She said she needed another trombone player. I said ok I would help by doing that. That was my sixth-grade self.

HBB: What instrument did you play and why?

Originally, I wanted to play the oboe. I had scored high on the placement test. If you placed high, you were allowed to play the oboe and that was what I wanted because I viewed it as this prestigious situation. A year later when the band director told me she needed another trombone player, I just joined. Thank goodness that I didn’t play the oboe!

HBB: What was the best part of being in band during

your school years?

I have been involved in music for over 30 years starting DW 6W *HUDUG WKHQ /DQVLQJ &DWKROLF &HQWUDO DQG ÂżQDOO\ ended up at Michigan State University. As for the best SDUW RI EHLQJ LQ EDQG ZDV GHÂżQLWHO\ WKH UHODWLRQVKLSV , stood up at weddings with friends that were in high school or the MSU band with me. There is a lot of musical knowledge that came through, too, but my favorite part was the relationships I built. All of my great friends, with one exception, are from my high school or university band experiences.

HBB: When did you decide you wanted to make music your career as a teacher and why?

Making that decision did not happen until I was a senior in high school. I originally planned to be a physical therapist because I played football and suffered many LQMXULHV WKDW UHTXLUHG SK\VLFDO WKHUDS\ , WKRXJKW WKDW would a good career path until my senior year in high school when we got a new band director that turned me on to more serious literature and music theory and talked to me about becoming a music major. In the fall of my senior year, I decided to look for some auditions and go for it as a music teacher so I auditioned at Indiana University, Central Michigan University, and Michigan State University where I ultimately went. It was never my goal to play professionally which was cemented for me in college. I was always planning on becoming a teacher.

HBB: As a band director, what would you say to students and their parents about taking up an instrument and why?

Two things. First, you do not need to be the world’s most talented person to succeed in band class. If you work even a little‌give effort‌. you will become a

Holt Fest Parade

starter, you will become successful, you will become a very valuable member of the team. Even if you do not have hugely innate talent, if you work, you will improve, and you will become a wonderful member of the team.

There are very few teams like that. Many teams also UHTXLUH WKH WDOHQW DVSHFW Second, in addition to all the friends that happen and the wonderful opportunities and meeting so many people, if you come with just a little effort, it will be hugely rewarding. If you do just a little work and come to band class ready to play and try your hardest, you will have a wonderful sense of accomplishment and it will feel great.

HBB: What do you think students and their parents should know to make the most of their band experience?

Come with effort. I tell the students all the time, band is HDV\ EXW QRW HIIRUWOHVV ,WÂśV QRW GLIÂżFXOW EXW QRW HIIRUWless. When you come in, be ready to try and your skills will improve, and it feels so good to improve. If you look back and see all of the hard work you have done, you can see your accomplishments very clearly if you keep that effort going.

Michigan’s Isle Royale Isle Royale is an island in the Great Lakes that is located in the northwest of Lake Superior. It is 56 miles from the Michigan shore. The island and the 450 surrounding smaller islands and waters make up the Isle Royale National Park.

The island is 45 miles long and 9 miles wide. Ferries from Michigan and Minnesota land at Rock Harbor on the eastern end of the island. Ferries from Minnesota also run to Windigo on the western end. There is also seasonal sea plane service.

There are no roads on the island and in fact, no wheeled vehicles or devices other than wheel chairs permitted by the public.

Siskiwit Lake is the largest lake on the island. It has cold, clear water and contains several islands, including Ryan Island, the largest. Ryan Island contains Moose Boulder.

The island was a common hunting ground for native peoples from nearby Minnesota and Ontario. In prehistoric times, large quantities of copper were mined on Isle Royale and the nearby Keweenaw Peninsula. The region is scarred by ancient mine pits and trenches up to 20 feet deep.

In the mid-1840s, a report by Douglass Houghton, Michigan's first state geologist, set off a copper boom in the state, and the first modern copper mines were opened on the island. Evidence of the earlier mining efforts was

everywhere, in the form of many stone hammers, some copper artifacts, and places where copper had been partially worked out of the rock but left in place. The ancient pits and trenches led to the discovery of many of the copper deposits that were mined in the 19th century.

Isle Royale was given to the United States by the 1783 treaty with Great Britain. The British remained in control until after the War of 1812. The Ojibwa peoples considered the island to be their territory. The Ojibwas ceded the island to the U.S. in the 1842 Treaty of La Pointe.

Once the island became a National Park in 1940, logging and other exploitive activities ended and the forest area began to regenerate.

The western tip of the island is home to several shipwrecks that are very popular with scuba divers, including the SS America.

Recreational activities also include approximately 170 miles of hiking trails, fishing, boating, kayaking and observing nature. The most popular trail, best marked and longest single route is the 40mile Greenstone Ridge Trail that extends down the island's backbone. The trail leads to the peak of Mount Desor, at 1,394 feet, which is the highest point on the island and also passes though northwoods wilderness, and by inland glacial lakes, swamps, bogs and scenic shorelines. There are also numerous campgrounds many of which are only accessible by water.
