EXECUTIVE BOARD PRESIDENT 3 The Presidential Address The Sokol Eye – Sokolským Okem There is this overwhelming rush of emotion that comes over me when something happens in our organization that connects the past with the present. One of those “things” that makes you go, “hmm.” I get the chills and feel as if Tyrs, or “someone” is watching over us. We are so connected to each other with our love and passion for Sokol, there is no doubt, our souls are somehow connected. As you have been reading, our Library Archives and Museum Committee has actively taken action to digitize our collection, find a physical location, and develop a fully working museum and library with programs and displays. For the summer we hired Julie Barcal to begin the digitization process and access the inventory. Some of you remember her father, Stanley Barcal who lived for the Sokol organization, contributed in more than amazing ways, collected his own Sokol artifacts and truly cared about preservation of our history. When I asked Julie if she would begin the process with our collection, she was nearly speechless and very emotional. Julie said to me, “you know Jean, this was my dad’s dream as well… to see that American Sokol build a museum and library… and here I am continuing his dream. I can’t believe this is really happening.” It was at that moment that I not only felt Stan Barcal in our presence but felt his pride through his daughters eyes. Again, that moment gave me new energy to know that we are doing a very good thing. Keeping our history alive, not by collecting alone but by giving it a destination and purpose for others to see. Our story should be told and available to others. It is up to us to make this happen. It will not happen just sitting in a room. It is a grand collection and is important in United States history. We will bring this collection digitally and physically to others through our new efforts and Julie will be a great asset helping to keep the momentum going. If you ever wonder how things happen or why they happen, you must believe that it comes from your own will to make it happen, chance that it can happen, and sometimes there is a part that gets a little extra push from those before us who are watching over us. Thanks Stan for your contributions, for Julie’s knowledge and preservation of your collections and for giving me another push to keep a good thing going. I hope you all agree that we are on a good path with our efforts. The new “Sokol Museum & Library” We have changed the name of our collection to the “Sokol Museum & Library”! We feel this is a simpler name that will be marketable and internet-friendly. We also decided that it defines our collection better because we have items from all Sokol organizations around the world. We hope to showcase different Sokol collections from outside organizations as well as personal collections someday soon. We have also finalized our mission statement and goals as you will find below. We look forward to more progress this summer. MISSON STATEMENT The Sokol Museum and Library is dedicated to preserving the history and accomplishments of the Sokol movement that was based, from its origin in 1862 in the Czech lands, on a program of systematic gymnastic training that cultivates a healthy body, sound mind and responsible citizenship. Sokol became a historic organization that established the Czech culture and Czech identity. The goal of the museum and archives is to demonstrate Sokol’s contributions to society as well as to gymnastics, physical fitness and sports. PURPOSE The not-for -profit museum is formed exclusively and strictly for educational, cultural, and scientific purposes as stated in the Articles of incorporation. Such purposes shall be carried out for the benefit of the public not for the special benefit of any private entity or group. The specific goals of the mission are to 1) provide, preserve and operate a library, museum, and an archives collection, and 2) restore and display artifacts, books, documents, continued on page 10 American Sokol June 2016 4 THE SOKOL EDUCATOR The Sokolfrom The NationalEducator Education Committee Summer Safety As you head off and begin summer fun in the sun, here are 10 tips for keeping kids (and adults, too!) safe this summer, courtesy of American Family Children’s Hospital. Block the Sun The sun's intensity is at its peak during the summer, so it is more critical than ever to apply lotion before going outside. Not just on sunny days either; the sun's rays can still damage your skin when it’s cloudy. Be sure to apply sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) at least 20 minutes before going outdoors. Stay Afloat Teach your children never to enter the water without an adult, and watch them at all times when you are near a pool or beach. Don't allow floaties or other flotation devices to take the place of close supervision. Wear a Helmet Unfortunately, many parents still do not insist that their children wear a helmet every single time they ride their bike. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 85 percent of bicyclists killed in 2003 reportedly were not wearing helmets. Roll with Caution In addition to helmets when inline skating, skateboarding and scooting, kids should always wear elbow, wrist and knee pads to prevent injuries associated with falls. Get Moving Childhood obesity is rising at an alarming rate. According to the American Obesity association, more than 15 percent of Americans ages six to 19 are obese. Summer is a wonderful time to head outside and get some exercise. Practice Car Care Don't ever leave your kids (or pets) in the car while you are running errands, even for just a few minutes. Stay Hydrated If spending time outside in hot weather is necessary, have your child drink plenty of fluids and take frequent breaks in the shade. Watch for Traffic To promote safe pedestrian habits in your children, first set a good example. Your children learn from your actions, so if you walk out between parked cars, jaywalk or cross against a light, it is likely your kids will too. Prevent Bug Bites Never use insect repellent on infants. For older children, bug spray can be used sparingly, but wash it off as soon as your child comes indoors. Play Safely Always supervise your kids when they are playing on equipment. Teach them safe play habits, including sitting on the center of a swing and not twisting the swing chains, which can reduce their strength. The American Sokol provides fitness and community for individuals and families through physical, educational, cultural and social programs.

  • Debbie Meyer
    DEBBIE MEYER Pick up the July issue of Swimming World Magazine and read Debbie Meyer’s article, “Swimming: The Adventure of a Lifetime.” It’s a story with photos about how swim schools are helping make a difference in people’s lives. Meyer opened the Debbie Meyer Swim School in Carmichael, Calif., in 1993, and has taught numerous kids and adults how to swim. In 1968, she became the first woman to win three individual gold medals at one Olympics. Following is more information about Meyer, past and present: Debbie Meyer joined Johnny Weismuller, Mark Spitz and Don Schollander when she was named among the world’s best swimmers of the century by sportscasters across the country. More than 20 years after her phenomenal performance in the Olympics, Meyer is still considered one of the greatest female swimmers of all time. For someone who never took a swimming lesson, her accomplishments are impressive: * At the age of 16, first female swimmer to win three individual gold medals during the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City in the 200, 400 and 800 meter freestyle events. * Two gold medals, 400 and 800 meter freestyle, 1967 Pan American Games, at the age of 14. * Held five world records simultaneously: 200, 400, 800 and 1500 meter freestyle plus the 880 yard free. * Broke 20 world records and 24 American records from 1967 to 1971. * Won 19 national championships from 1967 to 1971. * 1967 TASS News Agency Award and Cuba News Agency Award, both as world’s best athlete. * 1968 James E. Sullivan Award, Genoa (Italy) Outstanding Person Award, Swimming World Swimmer of the Year Award 1967-69.

She is the most famous female swimmer of Roman legend. 216 A.D. - The Baths of Caracalla, regarded as the greatest architectural and engineering feat of the Roman Empire and the largest bathing/swimming complex ever built opens. Swimming in the public bath houses was as much a part of Roman life as drinking wine. At first, bathing was segregated by gender, with no mixed male and female bathing, but by the mid second century, men and women bathed together in the nude, which lead to the baths becoming notorious for sexual activities. 600 A.D. - With the gothic conquest of Rome and the destruction of the Aquaducts that supplied water to the public baths, the baths close. Soon bathing and nudity are associated with paganism and be- come regarded as sinful activities by the Roman Church. 1200’s - Thinking it might be a useful skill, European sailors relearn to swim and when they do it, it is in the nude. Women, as the gatekeepers of public morality don’t swim because they have no acceptable swimming garments.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. Yi necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Philadelphia, PA: Chelsea House. http://dx.doi.org/0791043940 Pages: 6 Tags: 2 quote, today Direct Quote: The only thing keeping an athlete back is the limitations of her body and her ability to dream. Paraphrase: Today, many people take women in track and field for granted. Today, there is not much, if not any, discrimination or regulations against women competing on the track.
