THICK

by Patricia L. Cook This Tidbits examines where and when marching bands originated and other trivial matters to help us stay in step with the bands.

• The first marching bands started many centuries ago with military organizations.

The needs of military groups to get thousands of troops moving in the same direction quickly, without mishaps, were best met if everyone stayed in rows, the same distance apart. Orderly movement was easiest if it was done in an organized manner. Because many groups did not have musical instruments, chants of, “Left – left, left, right, left,” giving instruction on which foot should be down helped accomplish the tasks. As military troops grew around the world, choruses of encouragement and sometimes humor were added.

• When available, drums were added to help troops stay together as they progressed along the way. Musical instruments were added through the years and melodies were great for keeping soldiers encouraged and giving them a sense of pride.

• During the Revolutionary War in America, soldiers marched to fifes and drums. The Civil War brought the development of drum and bugle corps. During the big wars: World War I and II, full brass, percussion and woodwind bands formed. turn the page for more!

(continued): • Early military troops in Scotland and some places in Canada marched to drums and bagpipes. Some still use this style.

• Military traditions are still used by modern marching bands. Bands usually march in formation and use orders of “attention”, “about face” and “forward march.” Most marching band uniforms resemble military uniforms.

• The marching bands that most people think of are university, college, and high school bands that perform at football games and in parades. Halftime shows can be quite elaborate and require hours of training.

• The marching band credited with the first modern halftime show at a football game was the Marching illini of the University ofMaster Illinois in 1907. It occurred Hyperlink in page at a game against the University of Chicago.

Weekly MAGIC MAZE

(continued): • The first band to break the tradition of military ranks and form a letter on the football field was Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The letter, of course, was the “Block P” for Purdue.

The first time it was on the field was in 1907 under the direction of Paul Spotts Emrick who was the first band director and served the university band for 49 years, from 1905-1954.

• Emrick came up with the plan for the “Block P” after seeing a flock of birds flying in a “V” formation. He decided that if birds could make a letter a band surely could replicate the action in a formation on a football field. The Purdue “All American” Marching Band still forms the P before every home game.• Purdue is also known for what is considered to be the “World’s Largest Bass Drum.” The original drum built by Leedy Corporation in Indianapolis in 1921 is still used today.

• The large drum is about eight feet in diameter, nearly four feet wide between the drum heads and more than 10 feet high when mounted on the field carriage built for rolling it around.

A crew of four bandsmen handling the drum must have accurate timing and placement for the two beaters to keep accurate time with the band.

• Now, in case you have heard about “Big Bertha” and wonder where she fits in with the above story about the “World’s Largest Bass Drum,” read on.

• Big Bertha is the large drum that belongs to the University of Texas. Created for the University of Chicago, Bertha’s first game was when Chicago played Princeton on October 23, 1922. When Chicago stopped its football program, band at the university was also discontinued. At that time, the large drum was put in storage.

• Colonel D. Harold Byrd, a Texas Longhorn band supporter purchased Bertha from the University of Chicago in 1955. Bertha’s dimensions are eight feet (2.4 m) in diameter, 54 inches wide and more than 10 feet high when mounted on her trailer.

Called the “sweetheart of the Longhorn band,” Big Bertha is escorted by the “Bertha Crew.”

• Members of the Kappa Kappa Psi fraternity of Purdue challenged their Texas fraternity brothers to a drum showdown in 1961 to settle the question of which band had the largest bass drum. They planned the showdown at the fraternity’s national convention in Wichita, Kansas. Purdue kept its side of the promise and loaded their drum on a truck and headed west. They stopped in Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City and Topeka, pushing their drum through the streets showing off.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle GET OFF THE BENCH Life is going by at a hectic pace. You were designed and created for something much more than making a living. The time is now for you to stand up. The poet William Arthur Ward said: “I will do more than belong-I will participate. I will do more than care-I will help. I will do more than believe-I will practice. I will do more than be fair-I will be kind. I will do more than forgive-I will forget.

I will do more than dream-I will work. I will do more than teach-I will inspire. I will do more than learn-I will enrich. I will do more than give-I will serve.

I will do more than live-I will grow. I will do more than suffer-I will triumph.” You must believe in God, believe in yourself, and have the faith to do what you are called to do. It’s time to get off the bench. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com

• Marching bands exist in universities, colleges, senior and junior high schools for more than just football games. They also perform at other school events and parades. Many large parades across the country are magnificent venues for marching bands.

• The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade is one of the famous parades that marching bands love to participate in. There are usually about a dozen bands that are chosen from entries received from the band directors. Having a unique feature helps a band get chosen.

Participants have come from all 50 states and even as far away as Guatemala. A band that always performs and is a crowd favorite represents New York’s own police department (NYPD).

• Independence Day (Fourth of July) parades across the nation are filled with patriotic floats and marching bands playing patriotic music. One of the largest parades is, naturally, the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D. C. The 2012 parade had 28 bands mostly from military units and high schools. There were also marching platoons from all of the military services: Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.

• Marching bands put in many hours of practice and training to get their steps and tunes right. Many dedicated musicians get as much of a thrill by participating in marching drills as they do in hearing the music.

• When the Purdue students and their drum arrived in Wichita, they discovered that their Texas fraternity brothers didn’t bring their drum. By default, Purdue declared their drum as the “World’s Largest Drum.” Since then, the exact measurements of the Purdue Big Bass Drum have been kept secret, preserving the mystique of its existence.

If you have a computer with Internet access, you can have your own account at Social Security, even if you’re not yet collecting benefits.

You’ll be able to do a number of things with your account, including check your payment history, look at your earnings record, get your benefit verification letter and make changes to your direct-deposit information. The benefit letter can come in handy if you need to apply for other benefits or loans. There’s no waiting for the letter to be mailed.

If you don’t receive benefits yet (but are age 18 or older), you can get information and estimates of benefits you’ll receive in the future, your earnings record and estimates of the Social Security and Medicare taxes you’ve paid in.

Why would you want to do this? There’s the convenience, of course. But it also will save Social Security some money.

Instead of having people send out the benefit verification letters, you’ll be able to print it immediately.

To open an online account, click on the My Social Security tab at www.socialsecurity.gov. Be prepared to answer questions only you would know the answer to.

You’ll set up a user name and password.

The requirements are that you have an email address, a Social Security number, a mailing address in the U.S. and be at least 18 years old.

First, though, make sure your computer’s virus program is up to date, including your firewall and WiFi settings, if you have a router.

March 5th 2013

December 22– January 19

You need it. You want it. Go get it, Capricorn. A change at home causes an uproar.

Don’t jump into the fray until necessary. A friend reaches out.

January 20– February 18

Rarely do problems solve themselves, but there are exceptions and this is one of them. Stay put, Aquarius, and everything will work itself out.

February 19– March 20

June 22– July 22

Passion ignites, and sparks fly once again.

Whisk that someone special away on an adventure, Cancer.

A crisis in faith resolves with the help of dear friend.

July 23– August 22 Understanding a system is easy; implementing it, on the other hand, will take finesse. Lucky for you, Leo, you’ve got what it takes. A young one has a question.

August 23– September 22

You’re a class act, Pisces, but few know it until this week when you have a chance to shine. Put your best foot forward, and you may soon be promoted.

Victorious Virgo. A battle you have been waging for some time comes to a conclusion, and you are declared the winner.

Celebrate with that special someone.

March 21– April 19

September 23– October 22

The noose around your neck begins to loosen, thanks to a mentor. Make plans now to return the favor, Aries. Finances and friendship do not mix.

April 20– May 20

You can be crafty when you want to, and this week will call for it. Do not disappoint, Taurus. A special occasion draws near. Start the planning now.

May 21– June 21 A relative’s independence is compromised. Be there for them, Gemini, even if it just to hold their hand.

A small windfall does wonders for your bank account.

Watch it, Libra. This is not the week for snap decisions. Think things through before you push full steam ahead. Words of kindness at home ease a transition.

October 23– November 21

Affairs of the heart move front and center.

A staycation may be in order, Scorpio. Secrets among friends compound.

Steer clear of the matter.

November 22– December 21

Use it or lose it, agittarius.

You have so many more talents you could be capitalizing on. Some could even prove to be lucrative. A date gets the home fires burning.

Eleanor Roosevelt was shy as a child but became one of the most outspoken First Ladies to ever live in the White House.

• Born October 11, 1884, in New York City, to Anna Hall and Elliott Roosevelt, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was named after her mother. When Eleanor’s mother died in 1892 she and her siblings went to live with their maternal grandmother. Her father died two years later in 1894. He was the younger brother of Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States from 1901-1909, • Eleanor was a very shy child but being of wealthy Roosevelt heritage she received an excellent education at Allenswood, a boarding school in London from 1899 to 1902. With the education and maturity, Eleanor developed self-confidence that lead her to become a leader among women of her era.

• After her return from England, Eleanor met a handsome Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) in her affluent circle of friends. The distant cousins became engaged in 1903 and married in 1905.

• According to genealogical records Eleanor and FDR were fifth cousins, once removed.

The closest mutual ancestor was Nicholas Roosevelt. One of his sons was FDR’s greatgreat-great grandfather; another son was Eleanor’s great-great-great-great grandfather.

• President Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor’s uncle, walked her down the aisle and had the honor of “giving her away” in marriage.

• Franklin and Eleanor had six children in the next eleven years; one son died as an infant.

They also had to contend with Sara, FDR’s mother who tried to run their lives in their early years of married life!

• With Eleanor’s encouragement and support FDR entered politics and served in the New York state senate from 1910-1913. It was in Albany, the state capital of New York, that Eleanor started her own rise to fame as an able political helpmate.

• When FDR served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920 during Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, Eleanor gained tremendous knowledge of Washington and national politics.

• When her husband was stricken with polio in 1921, and lost the use of his legs for the remainder of his life. Mrs. Roosevelt devoted her time to caring for him. She also became active in the State Democratic Committee women’s division to keep FDR’s interest in politics piqued.

• Eleanor encouraged and supported her husband as Governor of New York and later, in 1933, as President of the United States.

She “became his eyes and ears” and the closest confidant for her husband, helping and understanding during the trying times of his presidency, which included the “Great Depression” and World War II. • Mrs. Roosevelt changed the role of First Lady. She greeted and entertained thousands with her charm. She expressed her opinions in a daily syndicated newspaper column entitled “My Day,” gave press conferences, travelled all around the country, gave lectures and participated in radio broadcasts.

• After FDR’s death in 1945, Eleanor was selected as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly, serving from 1945 to 1953.

She became the chair of the UN’s Human Rights Commission and helped write the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She considered this one of her greatest achievements.

● The way some items are packaged these days, you need to be Houdini to get into them. When you’re dealing with blister packs -- items sealed inside a hard plastic wrapper that looks to be heat-crimped on the outside -- try your can opener. You can run it around the edge of stubborn plastic packages, enough to get the item out. It’s more secure and safer than a carpet knife or razor.

Whether you spend hours seeking a four-leaf clover or have a favorite rabbit’s foot that you rub, you may wonder about the origins and realities of symbols of good luck.

• The plant that is considered to be the original shamrock is the white clover, trifolium repens, plant. These true shamrocks sometimes produce four-leaf clovers. The way to know that these are the real thing is that the fourth leaf is smaller than the other three leaves.

• St. Patrick was actually born in Britain, kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave when he was only 16. He later escaped and then returned to Ireland as a missionary. He used the native clover to explain the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and is credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish people.

• With four-leaf clovers it is said that the first leaf is for faith, the second for hope, the third for love and the fourth for luck. In Irish tradition, the regular shamrock or 3-leaf clover represents the Holy Trinity: one leaf for each person of the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. When a fourth leaf exists on a shamrock it is said to represent God’s grace.

AARON VOSMEK

• Sir John Melton wrote in 1620, “If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.”

• For people who look more to “luck” than spiritual symbolism from clover, the leaves of a four-leaf clover represents four lucky characteristics: love, health, respect and wealth.

• In the Celtic religion of the Druids in early Irish history, three was a mystical number.

They considered the shamrock a sacred plant because of its three leaves that formed a triad, also called a trifoliolate plant.

•

Early Celts of Wales believed that white clover, held in high esteem, would protect against evil spirits.

• The “luck of the Irish” is spoken about as much in America as it is in Ireland. In fact, many Irish traditions are rooted more in American heritage than Irish.

• St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland is a religious holiday. Many businesses close for the day so families can spend time together. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in America are more American than Irish!

• The Charitable Irish Society of Boston held the first St. Patrick’s Day celebration in America in 1737.

• Shamrocks, the three-leaf varieties, are worn by many in America and Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate Irish heritage. County Cork, Ireland, is known for its growth of shamrock plants. Several million plants are grown and shipped all over the world every St. Patrick’s Day from the area.
