  • Fine Motor Skills and in Preschool, Elementary, and Middle School
    Recommended Activities to develop Fine motor skills and in Preschool, Elementary, and Middle School UPPER EXTREMITY STRENGHTENING: 1. Writing/coloring/drawing/painting on a vertical surface (easel/chalkboard) helps to develop stability in the shoulder/arms necessary for functional hand control. 2. Closely supervised playground activities (monkey bars, climbing), require a lot of heavy work in the shoulders/arms which is necessary for good hand control. 3. Wheelbarrow walking/animal walks activate the shoulder/arm muscles also necessary for good hand control. 4. When watching TV or reading a book, have your child lay on the floor propped on his forearms/elbows as this requires weight bearing through the shoulders. 5. Crab Soccer (soccer in the crab position). 6. Fishing magnet puzzles require adequate shoulder stability, add them to a bucket of water for lots of fun!. 7. Have a pizza night! If you are making dough, let them manipulate it or let them stir it with a wooden spoon to help strength shoulder muscles. 8. Have them help you roll out cookie dough with a rolling pin and decorate cookies with small sprinkles using their fingers to put them on. HAND STRENGTHENING ACTIVITES: 1. Tool use: (picking up small objects (cotton balls) using a variety of tools – tweezers, tongs, eye droppers, turkey baster, cutting different materials (twizzlers, marshmallows, construction paper, straws) – make a game out of using the tools (ie. Who can fill up the cup with the liquid using a turkey baster/eye dropper?) 2. Stringing small beads 3. Playdoh/clay activities – write letters in playdoh, make small balls of playdoh put a hole through it and try to string them, use a garlic press to “cook” with the playdoh, as well as scissors, plastic knives, etc.

  • Shift from WGN Recalls Old Comfort Zone for Fans, Station, Cubs
    Shift from WGN recalls old comfort zone for fans, station, Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 9th, 2014 Wowww! Let’s go, batter up, we’re taking the afternoon off….It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two, from Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo… Everything changes – even the most comfy things that fit to a tee. Familiarity and memories of childhood soundtracks of summer is why we’re all wrung out with the news the Cubs’ radio rights have shift- ed to WBBM-Radio from their 57-season home 60 kc down the dial at WGN. The news wasn’t unexpected. WGN re- opened its Cubs contract – not the other way around – before this season because it was losing its financial shirt, unable to re- coup enough ad revenue to cover produc- tion costs when the baseball ratings had gone in the dumper. A move like this be- came inevitable – just the timing was in question – after Tribune Co. sold the Cubs to the cash-hungry Ricketts family, which is saddled with a heavy debt service man- dated by corporate shark Sam Zell as the structure of the sale. Lou Boudreau (top) and Jack Quinlan in WGN- As long as Tribune Co. -- which acquired Radio's first season with the Cubs radio rights in the embryonic WGN in 1924 -- had um- 1958. brella ownership of the Cubs and WGN TV -radio properties, change was going to be far off in the future. But all bets were off once the team and broadcasters diverged under www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] separate corporate entities.

  • Deserving of Ford Frick Award, Vince Lloyd an Enduring Voice of Summer by George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 3Rd, 2013
    Deserving of Ford Frick Award, Vince Lloyd an enduring voice of summer By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 3rd, 2013 (First in a series of articles running throughout 2014 on the great personalities and events that marked Wrigley Field’s 100 years of opera- tion.) Getting recognized for long and meritorious service at Wrigley Field sometimes takes awhile. The worthy recipient might as well take the late Chicago Tribune sports col- umnist David Condon’s ad- Lou Boudreau (left) and Vince Lloyd were an enduring Cubs ra- dio duo for two decades in the Ford Frick Award's "Living Room vice: “In this business, you Era." learn to be a good sitter.” Ernie Banks waited nearly a decade after Harry Caray’s statue was dedicated in 1999 to have his own monument, and none other than Henry Aaron, at the ceremony, pro- claimed the honor was a decade overdue. Fergie Jenkins had to wait until Greg Mad- dux's career ended to see the Cubs uniform No. 31 they both wore retired. Achievers of a half century ago, such as 22-game winner Dick Ellsworth and 96-RBI producer George Altman, haven’t even been invited back to the Cubs Convention. And, sadly, Ron Santo only garnered Hall of Fame status posthumously, the Veterans Committee voters almost shamed to voting him in a year after diabetes complications finally nailed the beloved “This Old Cub.” The latter route unfortunately will need to be traveled again for the great Vince Lloyd to be considered for the Ford C. Frick Award.
