A Memorial Day Poem

In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (Canadian Army)-(1872-1918) (Flanders Fields is an American World War I cemetery on the southeast edge of the town of Waregem, Belgium. Poppie flowers began to grow after the burial of the fallen soldiers.

To Your Health With Jourdin Hendershot:

Sun Poisoning

Sunshine!  Unless you live in the desert where the tempature usually goes from beautiful to warm then to really hot, you probably have spent the last 6 months inside do to the cold, nasty weather.  Well, it‘s finally starting to warm up all around the country which means you are most likely spending every minute you can outside Being outside provides many health benefits.  Some include breathing in fresh air, exercising, reduced stress levels and we can‘t forget about vitamin D! Although it‘s nice to receive health benefits from being outside, there is one major downfall…  SUNBURN.  It can take less than 15 minutes to burn if not protected by sun screen or protective clothing. If you have spent more than 15 minutes outdoors without protection you can develop sun poisoning. Sun poisoning is an extreme sunburn that goes unnoticed until it‘s too late, leading to severe symptoms. I know for a fact that sun poisoning is no joke since I have experienced it once and would never wish it upon anyone.

• Swelling
• Large blisters (DO NOT POP)
• Dehydration
• Flu like symptoms
• Cold sweats
• Fainting
• Rapid breathing

• Stay Hydrated and take some ibuprofen.
• Use cold Aloe Vera to help sooth the skin.
• Do not take a hot shower, use cool water.
• Avoid using scented locations, perfumes, etc.
• Avoid any sun until you are feeling better.

• Wear protective clothing like hats, sun glasses and long sleeved shirts.
• Make sure you have sun screen with at least an SPF of 30 or higher.
• Reapply the sun screen about every 2 hours whether you think you need it or not.
• Stay hydrated &ndash take a water bottle with you and drink constantly.  Do not wait until you are thirsty, by then you are already dehydrated.  Most places have fountains so you can refill.

Keeping Fit With Clayton "TR" Parker

Upper Body Workouts Without Weights

There are many different “at home” workouts that you can do without weights. Last month I gave you 5 leg workouts that you can do to tone up those calves and hamstrings.  I hope you had the opportunity to try them out! This month I will continue this series and move to the upper body.  Unlike the leg workout that is basically universal for both males and females and usually always focuses on building leg strength, the upper body is quite different. Workout routines are different based on your workout goals, desired result and upper body capability.  However, the good news is that there are some simplistic workout routines that are designed to be universal.  They focus on the one part of the upper body workout routine that is necessary for everyone, conditioning.

1. Arm Curls:  Stand on the center of the band, grab the handles of the band and pull up towards your chest.  This will work out your arms and shoulders.


2. Butterflies:  Stand on the center of the band, grab the handles and pull out away from your body.  This will work out your shoulders and neck.


3. Rowing:  Get in the setup position, put the band around the bottom of your feet, grab the handles of the band and do sit ups.  The resistance of the band will be felt going backwards.  This will work out your core and back muscles.


4. Hugs:  Put the band around your back with the handles in your hand.  Move your arms across your body like you are going to hug yourself.  This will work out your shoulders and back.


5. Bucket Lift:  Stand on the center of the band, hold the handles of the band with the back of your hand facing your body.  Pull your arms towards you like you are lifting a bucket off of the ground.  This will work out the backs of your arms, forearms and back.

Interesting Facts About Memorial Day We Bet You Didn't Know

Memorial Day was first observed on May 30, 1868 and was originally called “Decoration Day.” Memorial Day was originally created to honor Union soldiers who‘d died while fighting in the Civil War.  Because of this, southern states did not observe Memorial Day until after World War I, when the holiday was expanded to include soldiers from all wars. In addition to the national Memorial Day holiday, nine states officially set aside a day to honor those who died fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War: Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia.  The days vary, but only Virginia observes Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of May, in accordance with the federal observance of Memorial Day. The red poppy is a traditional symbol of Memorial Day (many veterans wear them to commemorate the day). On the Thursday before Memorial Day, soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard) place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery.  They patrol the cemetery 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing.  This tradition, called “Flags In”, has been in place since 1948. In 2004, Washington D.C. held its first Memorial Day parade in over 60 years. This coincided with the dedication of the National World War II Memorial. Memorial Day traditionally marks the start of summer, while Labor Day traditionally marks the end. “Memorial Day” did not become the holiday‘s official name until 1967, when federal law declared it. In 1968, Memorial Day was moved from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May in order to ensure a three-day weekend.
