Bob Dunn, a musician from Beggs, invented the first electric guitar in 1935. 3. Spiro Mounds, Oklahoma's only archaeological park, is a 140-acre site encompassing 12 southern mounds that contain evidence of an Indian culture that occupied the site from 850 A.D. to 1450 A.D. The Mounds are considered one of the four most important pre-historic Indian sites east of the Rocky Mountains. 4. WKY Radio was the first radio station transmitting from west of the Mis-sissippi River. 5. State Motto: Labor Omnia Vincit {Labor Conquers All Things}. 6. “Belle Starr,” one of the most famous women outlaws is buried in an iso-lated grave southwest of Porum, Okla, near the Eufaula Dam. 7. Originally the "Normal School," University of Central Oklahoma was Okla-homa's first public school of higher education. It began as a teachers college, and is now a premier institution of education in this region of the United States. 8. Oklahoma's four mountain ranges include the Ouachitas, Arbuckles, Wichitas and the Kiamichis. 9. Foress B. Lillie was a participant in the land run of 1889, and set up a tent for business as soon as shots were fired. “Lillie's Drug” was the first drug store established in Guthrie.

Kingfisher was the largest wheat market in America and is still perceived as such today. 13.Oklahoma is one of only two states whose capital cities name includes the state name. The other is Indianapolis, Indiana. http://www.50states.com/facts/okla.htm T H E O K L A H O M A H E A L T H C A R E A U T H O R I T Y Exercise Programs for Nursing Home Residents By Michelle Aveyard, eHow Contributor Exercise can be immensely beneficial to nursing home residents and seniors in general. Exercise, if done consistently, can help the circulatory system, increase heart health, fight obesity, strengthen muscles and even lift moods and spirits. Exercise programs are also an opportunity for social interaction. Not only will exercise help nursing home residents' physical health, it can improve their mental health by combating depression and increasing endor-phins. As always, anyone beginning a new exercise regimen should first consult a physician. Walking Regimen A consistent walking regimen is an ideal way for seniors to participate in an exercise program. Walking can be done at an individual pace. It can im-prove health dramatically without excessively strenuous exercise or move-ment. Start slowly, with a couple laps around the cafeteria or hallways. Pro-gress the walks to several laps outside, around the building, around the nursing home neighborhood or even around a track if there is one nearby. You may want to break the walking schedule into smaller groups according to level and abilities. Weight Training Mild weight training gets blood flowing and muscles working, stretching and strengthening. When their muscles are conditioned, it lessens the potential for injuries to the residents. Weight training makes the body more resilient and strong and also increases balance, which is important for seniors. Start with light weights, about one pound or a half pound, and low repetitions. Residents may only be able to do ten repetitions on each side with each limb when they are starting out. Slowly progress them, but keeping in mind their abilities and limitations. Play music and conduct group sessions to in-crease the fun and social interaction of the exercises. Dance Classes Dancing is a fun and challenging route to a cardio exercise routine for sen-iors. Hire a dance professional who specializes in choreographing dance moves and workouts for seniors. Clear a large area, such as a cafeteria or activity room, to accommodate the dancing participants, and play festive music. Always stretch before beginning any dance workout, and cool down at the conclusion. Dancing can help seniors increase flexibility, and regulate blood pressure and overall heart health, decreasing the risk of injuries and health complications. Make sure the seniors are wearing the appropriate shoes for any dance exercise, such as sneakers. http://www.ehow.com/list_6050830_exercise-programs-nursing-home-residents. html T H E O K L A H O M A H E A L T H C A R E A U T H O R I T Y Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) is looking for agencies and organizations that have an interest in becoming Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provid-ers, as well as individuals who are dual eligible and could benefit from participating in the program. PACE is a federal program designed to keep elders living in their homes, con-nected with their communities and out of nursing home facilities. It combines the services of an adult day health center, primary care office and rehabilitation facility into a single lo-cation. PACE provides an all-inclusive comprehensive continuum of care designed to maintain and improve the quality of life for the elderly. PACE enrollees must be at least 55 years old, live in the catchment area of a PACE center, be able to live safely and independently in the community at the time of enrollment, and must be certified for nursing home level of care. There is one PACE facility in Oklahoma located in Tahlequah, Okla (Cherokee ElderCare). Go to http://eldercare.cherokee.org/ to see the wonderful work that is taking place at this facility. In an effort to expand PACE, meetings are being set up throughout the state to encourage stakeholders in the community to gauge the feasibility of establishing a PACE facility in their area. If you would like more information, please contact Ashley Herron at (405) 522-7902 or email her at ashley.herron@okhca.org or David Ward at (405) 522-7776 or email him at david.ward@okhca.org. OLL organized a Focus on Excellence (FOE) advisory board which is comprised of providers and advocacy groups.

Cost of the printing was $3.00 for 30 copies. OHCA is in compliance with Title VI and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Rehabili-tation Act of 1973. Copies have been deposited with the Okla-homa Department of Libraries Clearinghouse. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age or disability in employ-ment or the provision of services. This document can be viewed on Ohca's web site www.okhca.org/OLL. The Oklahoma Long-Term Care (OLTC) Partnership program is a joint effort between the state and private insurance companies to encourage you to plan for potential long-term care needs. The total cost of long-term care is generally not covered by Medicare and medical in-surance and only partly covered by SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid). We recommend that you get advice from legal and financial specialists, your family and a certified OLTC Partnership insurance agent. They can help you make an effective plan to protect your assets. Having such a plan can give you peace of mind. You’ll know that your long-term care needs may be met with less of a financial impact on your family. The OLTC Partnership offers asset protection. For example, if you buy a $100,000 OLTC program policy and use up all of those benefits, then assets equal to those benefits will not be counted, that is disregarded, if you apply for SoonerCare. The OHCA has partnered with the Oklahoma Insurance Department to assure that long-term care agents are properly trained and certified to sell partnership policies. For more information, please visit www.okltcpartnership.org. Opportunities Industrialization Center (IOC) of Oklahoma County, Inc. offers beginning and intermediate computer classes in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access). They also offer keyboard and typing classes for beginning typists. If you never received a high school diploma, GED or need literacy, OIC offers these classes too.

The Oklahoma Long-Term Care (OLTC) Partnership program is a joint effort between the state and private insurance companies to encourage you to plan for potential long-term care needs. The total cost of long-term care is generally not covered by Medicare and medical in-surance and only partly covered by SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid). We recommend that you get advice from legal and financial specialists, your family and a certified OLTC Partnership insurance agent. They can help you make an effective plan to protect your assets. Having such a plan can give you peace of mind. You’ll know that your long-term care needs may be met with less of a financial impact on your family. The OLTC Partnership offers asset protection. For example, if you buy a $100,000 OLTC program policy and use up all of those benefits, then assets equal to those benefits will not be counted, that is disregarded, if you apply for SoonerCare. The OHCA has partnered with the Oklahoma Insurance Department to assure that long-term care agents are properly trained and certified to sell partnership policies.
