THIS IS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA IN FOCUS.

COMING UP, THEY HAVE BECOME A SYMBOL OF FLORIDA AND AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM.

BUT A NEW MANMADE THREAT IS IMPACTING DOLPHINS.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT HOW MICRO-PLASTICS ARE POSSIBLY GETTING INTO OUR WATERWAYS.

FINDING COMMON GROUND THROUGH SONG.

LISTEN TO THE CHOIR THAT IS BRINGING ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.

>> THE HOLOCAUST DIDN'T START WITH VIOLENCE.

IT DIDN'T START WITH THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

IT STARTED WITH WORDS.

STARTED WITH PERSECUTION IS STARTED BY SEPARATING A COMMUNITY.

>> IT'S A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF HATE AS THE NEW EXHIBIT TRACKS, THE EVOLUTION OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND HOW THAT PREJUDICE IS STILL RELEVANT IN TODAY'S SOCIETY.

HELLO, I'M JENNIFER CRAWFORD.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FROM SARASOTA BAY.

DOWN TO THE 10,000 ISLANDS, A GROWING POPULATION OF DOLPHINS IS MAKING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA WATERWAYS HOME.

RESEARCHERS SAY HUNDREDS OF DOLPHINS BELONG TO YEAR-ROUND RESIDENT COMMUNITIES IN THE WATERS ALL ALONG THE COAST.

BUT RESEARCHERS HAVE RECENTLY FOUND THAT DOLPHINS IN THE WATERS OF SARASOTA BAY ARE TAKING IN MUCH MORE THAN FISH SPARKING A NEW CONCERN FOR THE HEALTH OF THE BELOVED MAMMALS.

A NEW STUDY FINDS DOLPHINS IN SARASOTA BAY IN JUST ABOUT 10,000 MICRO-PLASTICS EACH DAY.

BUT THE IMPACTS ON THE DOLPHINS HAS NOT QUITE BEEN DETERMINED YET.

WGC SENIOR ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTER TOM BAYLISS JOINS US NOW WITH MORE.

AND TOM, WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THIS STUDY?

>> YOU KNOW, JENNIFER, WHEN YOU SEE DOLPHINS OUT IN THE BAY AND THEY SPLASH ALL AROUND AND CIRCLES, WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING IS CURRENTLY INCRE AND LITTLE PIN FISSION TOAD, FISH AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THIS STUDY FOUND OUT THAT WHILE THEY'RE DOING THAT, THEY MIGHT IN JUST 2 OR 3 BAIT FISH AT THE TIME.

BUT THEY'RE GETTING NOT JUST THE NUTRIENTS FROM THE FISH, BUT UP TO 10,000 PIECES OF MICROPLASTICS OR AT LEAST THAT.

BUT IT'S WORTH.

BECAUSE THE BAIT FISH IN SARASOTA BAY THAT THEY FAVOR ARE JUST JAMPACKED WITH THESE FIBERS AND THESE PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT ARE SO TINY, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE THEM TO YOU.

>> WHY IS IT SUCH A BIG CONCERN?

>> THAT'S A BIG CONCERN BECAUSE THESE THINGS LAST FOREVER AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE THERE AND THERE AND YOU THERE AND ME THEY'RE IN THE AIR THERE IN THE WATER.

AND NOW WE'VE QUANTIFY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE IN THE VERY FISH THAT SARASOTA BAY DOLPHINS.

WHICH IS A RESIDENT POPULATION HAVING THEM.

THE QUESTIONS UNKNOWN.

DO THEY BUILD UP INSIDE THEM BECOME A PROBLEM TO THE LODGE IN THEIR BRAINS AND BECOME A PROBLEM.

GUSTAVO IS LIVE A LONG TIME.

THAT'S NOT KNOWN YET.

THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT.

AS FAR AS STUDIES ARE CONCERNED.

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THESE MICRO PLASTICS ACTUALLY CAME FROM BASIS?

>> WELL, THAT'S ONE OF THE ONE OF THE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS IN THE REPORT BECAUSE, WELL, THE MICROPLASTICS LOOK THE SAME THE SAME SIZE.

THEY'RE THE SAME COLOR THEY'RE MADE FROM THE SAME MATERIALS WHICH IN THIS CASE ARE MUCH, MUCH ABOUT CLOTHING, FIBERS AND THINGS THAT COME OFF WHEN YOU WASH YOUR CLOTHES.

THEY CAN'T ACTUALLY THE DOLPHINS, THESE BAY FISH BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY'RE FILLED WITH MICRO FOR MICRO FIBERS AND MICROPLASTICS.

AND THERE'S AN ETHICAL PROBLEM WITH THAT.

SO IT'S ALL BUT HAVING SEEN THEM DO IT.

SO IT'S BASICALLY WHAT YOU CALL CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN A IN A REGULAR TERM.

YOU KNOW BECAUSE THAT'S EXACT SAME STUFF THAT'S IN THE DOLPHINS.

SAME FIBERS, SAME COLOR, SAME SIZE.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM TODAY.

>> IS THIS THE FINAL WORD ON THE PROBLEM WAS NEXT?

>> NO, THEY'LL BE MUCH MORE STUDY ABOUT THIS.

THIS STUDY WHICH WAS DONE BY RANDY WELLS, WHO HAS BEEN ONE OF THE TOP GOLF AND RESEARCHERS IN THE COUNTRY'S BEEN BASED OUT OF MOTE MARINE THAT HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE'S NEEDS TO BE A LOT MORE STUDY ON THIS BECAUSE WHAT WHAT ARE THE LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS OF HAVING MICROPLASTICS IN THEIR SYSTEM OR 2 DOLPHINS PASS THEM THROUGH THEIR SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY WERE FOUND AND THOSE THINGS THAT PASS FROM DOLPHINS AND NOT BECOME SO MUCH OF A PROBLEM.

THAT'S ONE OF THE MANY QUESTIONS THAT THIS RESEARCH WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN MAY IN A JOURNAL CALLED MARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE OPENED UP FOR FURTHER FURTHER REVIEW AND FURTHER RESEARCH.

HOW DID THESE GET INTO THE BAY?

WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING QUESTION.

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED BECAUSE FOR 5 YEARS AGO THEY USED TO BE A LOT OF PLASTICS AND LIKE STYROFOAM TYPE PIECES AND THAT'S BEFORE THE CITY DETERMINED THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF STUFF WHICH FLOATS IN THE WATER AND LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE AND OF COURSE, GIVES OFF THESE LITTLE MICROPLASTICS.

SO ANYTHING THE CITY OWNS THAT THAT'S DOWN ON THE BAY WAS PROHIBITED FROM USING THESE TYPE OF PLASTIC CUPS.

YOU KNOW, THOSE THOSE ONES THAT THAT ARE MADE OUT OF THAT WHITE STYROFOAM.

ANY OF THAT STUFF AS WAS BANNED AND WHEN SHOULD NOTE THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY TYPE OF MICROPLASTICS IN THEM.

BUT WHAT THEY DID FIND IS THESE FIBERS FROM CLOTHING THAT YOU GET FROM WATCHING AND YOU'RE LIKE, HOW IS IT?

THE WASHING MACHINE THAT WENT OUT WITH THE WATER IS ENDING UP IN THE BAY.

WELL, AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, MOST OF THEM ARE NOT UPDATED ENOUGH.

THESE FIBERS ARE SO TINY THEY ARE.

WITH A PIECE OF PAPER.

SQUARED.

SO IF YOU ARE ABLE TO CUT THE PIECE OF PAPER AT THE SAME DISTANCE AND DEPTH AS THE EDGE OF THE PEACE.

THAT WOULD BE OUT OUT SMALL.

MOST OF THESE FIBERS ARE.

AND SO THEY GO RIGHT THROUGH THE SCREENS THAT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS HAVE THAT SCREEN OUT.

MOST OF THE NASTY STUFF AND WASTEWATER AND GO RIGHT BACK INTO THE SYSTEM.

>> WHAT A FASCINATING STUDY.

AND WE CERTAINLY I'M SURE CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ON WHAT THE IMPACT WILL BE ON DOLPHINS.

>> MY STORIES ONLINE AND ON THE AIR.

AND NOW HERE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT ON OUR TV PROGRAM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, TOM BAYLISS.

THANK YOU.

>> YOU CAN FOLLOW MORE OF TOM BAYLISS IS ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE WGC YOU DOT ORG.

COMING UP NEXT TO GIVING RETIRED LIVING A DIGITAL BOOST.

HOW SOME SENIOR SOUTHWEST FLORIDA'S SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES ARE EMBRACING AI TECHNOLOGY TO HELP PROVIDE BETTER CARE TO THE RESIDENTS.

WGC XIAN TO PARK HAS THE STORY.

>> ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL COUNCIL ON AGING, A SMALL FALL CAN CREATE BIG HEALTH RISKS FOR OLDER ADULTS.

TO BETTER MONITOR AND ANTICIPATE THE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS.

SOME SENIOR LIVING CENTERS ARE TURNING TO AI TECHNOLOGY FOR HELP.

AND THAT JONES IS WITH THE MOORINGS PARK SENIOR COMMUNITY IN NAPLES.

>> THIS LINE HAS A FULL RECOGNITION IMAGING.

SO FOR RESIDENT FELL IN THIS AREA, IT WOULD DETECT THAT CHANGE IN MOTION AND IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CALL THE NURSE ON DUTY TO CONTENT IN THE ROOM, THOUGH, TO FIND THEM BUT FALL.

>> JONES SAYS THAT RESIDENTS PRIVACY A SAFEGUARD IT MOTION DETECTOR WILL JERRY WANTS IS TRIGGERED A STICK FIGURE IMAGE IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT IT IS NOT.

IT IS TIME TO DEO.

YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE ANYTHING BUT THE MOTION OF STICK FIGURE AROUND ONE IN 4 OLDER ADULTS EXPERIENCE A FALL EACH YEAR, ACCORDING TO CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, HEALTH CARE COSTS RELATED TO THESE FALLS.

OUR ONLY SET TO INCREASE IN TANDEM WITH THE AGING BOOMER GENERATION.

MOORINGS PARK, PRESIDENT AND CEO DAN HAPPENED TO HER SAYS AI TOOLS CAN BE RESPONSES TO INCIDENTS AS WAS SERVED A PREVENTATIVE PURPOSE.

>> BUT LOOK AT A RESIDENT THAT STARTED GOING TO THE RESTROOM OR FREQUENTLY AT NIGHT.

NOW THE AI IS NOT DIAGNOSING HERE, BUT ITS TELL THEM A PATTERN HAS CHANGED.

SO THEY DID A TEST AND THAT RESIDENT HAD A U T I THAT IS A POWERFUL USE OF AI FLEET AWAITED 3 OR 4 MORE DAYS.

THE SYMPTOMS WOULD HAVE STARTED TO SHOW ITSELF AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH HARDER ON THE RESIDENT.

>> AND TOOLS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED AND JUST ONE BUILDING AT MOORINGS PARK SO FAR.

LAVENDER SAYS HIS STAFF IS LEARNING TO MANAGE ALL THE DATA STREAMING FROM VARIOUS SYSTEMS.

>> THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE HAVE OUR BE LIGHT.

WE HAVE WRITTEN THIS IN TRUCKS, WEARABLES.

WE ALEXA DEVICE AND EACH OF THOSE HAVE THEIR OWN AI COMPONENT.

ALL OF THIS STUFF IS LEAST IT COSTS US ABOUT $500,000 A YEAR IN THIS ONE BUILDING FOR THESE 24 UNITS TO LEASE ALL OF THIS TECHNOLOGY.

>> JAMES FISHER LIVES IN A HIGH-RISE INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS AT MOORINGS PARK.

AS A RETIRED EXECUTIVE AND TECHNOLOGY CONSULTING.

HE SAYS THERE ARE MANY PARALLELS OF AI WITH EARLIER TECHNOLOGY FORMS.

>> I BEGAN AND TECHNOLOGY.

IN BASICALLY 1972.

WE WERE TRYING TO LEARN AT THAT TIME HOW TO USE TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITABILITY OF CORPORATIONS.

IN A WAY I CAN SEE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN BACK THEN WHEN WE HAD THE SHINY NEW OBJECT OF MAINFRAMES AND COMPUTERS AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.

NOW WE HAVE A I.

>> FISHER IS AN EARLY ADOPTER OF AI.

HE USES IT TO PLAN PERSONAL TRAVELS, BUT HE SAYS THE NEED TO CHECK ON SENIOR RESIDENTS REMAINS THE SAME AS WITH HIS OWN PARENTS LIVED IN AN INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY DECADES AGO.

>> EVERY SINGLE DAY SOMEBODY WALKED BY.

THEY THEY FLIP THE LITTLE HOOK ON THE TOP OF THE DOOR.

SO IF THE NEXT DAY THEY OVER AND THE HOOK WAS IN FLIPPED, THEY KNEW THE NOBODY LEFT THAT WHOLE DAY.

THEY WERE MONITORING BEHAVIOR.

THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN OLD TECHNOLOGY.

NOW WE CAN DO THAT WITH TECHNOLOGY, WITH OUR KNOW, BE LIGHTING WITH THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE GOT HERE.

>> LAVENDER SAYS THAT WORD IS SPREADING FAST AMONG MOORINGS PARK RESIDENTS ABOUT THE USE OF AI.

>> I CAN TELL YOU THE RESIDENTS ON THE OTHER CAMPUSES ARE ALREADY SAYING WHEN DO WE GET THAT?

I CAN SEE A DAY 5 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN THIS WILL BE IN ALL OF OUR UNITS.

>> AND GIVEN THE CURRENT DIRECTION OF THE SENIOR CARE INDUSTRY OVERALL MARKETING, VICE PRESIDENT TOM MAN I COULD NOT HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME.

>> THERE'S GOING TO BE A SHORTAGE OF WORKERS.

>> GOING FORWARD, CAREGIVERS GOING FORWARD.

SO >> WE REALLY ARE LOOKING AT AND GOING HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY HELP US?

>> GOING FORWARD.

TAKE SOME OF THE CHORES OFF OF OUR TEAMS ARE PARTNERS SHOULDERS SO THAT THEY HAVE MORE TIME TO INTERFACE.

WITH THE RESIDENTS.

>> THE GOAL IS TO LEVERAGE AI NOT AS A TOOL TO SUPPLANT HUMAN TOUCH, BUT RATHER TO ELEVATE THE CARE OF BOTH RESIDENTS AND WORKERS FOR WGC NEWS.

I'M NOT TO PARK.

>> ACROSS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, HIGH SCHOOL THEATER PROGRAMS ARE TAKING CENTER STAGE WITH THERE FALL PERFORMANCES.

JOINING US, HIS ARTS REPORTER TOM HALL AND TOM, WHAT IF YOU TRACK DOWN AS WE HEAD INTO THIS SUPER EXCITING TIME OF YEAR AND THESE YOUNG THESPIANS FOR JENNIFER.

>> I WAS STRUCK BY THE AMOUNT OF TALENT THAT WE HAVE HERE IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA AND THE QUALITY OF THE TEACHERS WHO ARE TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF YOUNG ACTORS, SINGERS AND DANCERS.

NOW I WAS AT HIGH SCHOOL ON MONDAY.

LISA CLARK, STUDENTS ARE DOING TUCKER LASTING, WHICH IS BASED ON THE BESTSELLING CHILDREN'S NOVEL BY NATALIE BABBITT.

NOW THE STORY REVOLVES AROUND AN 11 YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO LEARNS OF A HIDDEN SPRING IN A NEARBY FOREST THAT GIVES HIM MORTALITY.

THOSE WHO DRINK FROM IT.

LIKE THE MEMBERS OF THE TUCKER FAMILY.

AS SHE LEARNS FROM THE TALKS LIVING FOREVER AT ONE AGE IS LESS OF A BLESSING THAN ONE MIGHT THINK PEOPLE NOTICED.

PEOPLE TALK AND YOU'RE FORCED TO LIVE IN ISOLATION SO WILL SHE OR WATCH A DRINK FROM THE SPRING AND JOINED THE TALKS AND IMMORTALITY.

>> SO THAT WAS BISHOP BUREAU IN FORT MYERS.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN THIS WEEK?

>> WELL, I >> ON TUESDAY DROVE DOWN TO NAPLES TO GULF COAST HIGH SCHOOL.

KIM KIRKMAN STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING LEGALLY BLONDE.

THE MUSICAL.

JACKSON LIGORI PLAYS THE PART IT.

HE SAYS WHAT SETS THIS PRODUCTION OF PART IS THE PASSION THAT HE AND HIS CAST MATES BRING TO EVERY SCENE.

THAT'S A THEME THAT ECHOED BY CAMILLUS FRANCAIS WHO BRINGS A LATINA FLAVOR TO THE CHARACTER OF ELLE WOODS.

>> FOR SOMEONE WHO COME FROM A BACKGROUND OF MICHAEL SPANN, A CULTURE LIKE FAMILY IS A BIG THING IN HISPANIC HOUSEHOLD.

SO I FEEL LIKE THEATER IS JUST A SECOND FAMILY TO ME AND THIS IS THEY MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE LIKE PASSION ABOUT WHAT I DO BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM ON STAGE, I WOULD BE.

>> A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ACTOR CARMINE CHRIS ARTS CLASS BRINGS YOU'RE IN TOWN TO THE STAGE NOW.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE, BUT IT'S THE PERFECT FIT FOR ANYONE WHO IS A FAN OF SOUTH TIRE IT.

ONE OF THE FIRST SHOWS TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION FROM FRIENDS TO BROADWAY.

YOU'RE IN TOWN PARITY, SUCH POPULAR MUSICALS AS LAME IS WEST SIDE STORY A CHRISTMAS, CAROL.

AND FIDDLER ON THE ROOF AND THIS ACT TO NUMBER RUN, FREEDOM RUN.

IT'S A DIRECT REFERENCE TO DON'T ROCK THE BOAT FROM GUYS AND DOLLS WITH SAMMY DOUR DOES INTRICATE CHOREOGRAPHY PAYING TRIBUTE TO TRAILBLAZING CHOREOGRAPHER ALVIN AILEY WHO FAMOUSLY INCORPORATED GOSPEL BLUES AND AFRICAN SPIRITUALS INTO HIS MASTERWORK REVELATIONS.

>> A CHECK OF A SWEAT.

>> WHAT >> A GREAT VARIETY OF SHOWS THAT WE COULD SEE THIS WEEKEND.

>> THEY ARE TERRIFIC.

THANK YOU, TOM, FOR JOINING US FOR HIS PLEASURE.

>> BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH ALL OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA'S ARTS SCENE FROM.

>> UPCOMING PERFORMANCES TO FEATURE STORIES BY VISITING WGC.

YOU DOT ORG.

WELL IN THIS AND JOY THROUGH MUSIC IS THE SLOGAN OF THE INTERMEZZO CHOIR, AN OUTREACH OF THE FORT MYERS SYMPHONIC MASTER SINGERS.

THE MEMBERS INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND OTHER KINDS OF DEMENTIA ALONG WITH CAREGIVERS AND VOLUNTEERS WGC REPORTER DANA HARPSTER RECENTLY SAT IN ON ONE OF THEIR REHEARSALS.

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS CHOIR.

I BROUGHT BY THEIR SPOUSES OR FAMILY WHO MAYBE DON'T WE HAVE A GOOD LIFE TOO.

WELL RIGHT NOW, IT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK WELL, MIGHT NOT REMEMBER THEIR SPOUSE'S NAME >> JON REDNECK, I-74 AND A MEMBER OF THE FORT MYERS SYMPHONIC MASTER SINGERS.

HE ALSO VOLUNTEERS WITH THE INTERNET SO CHOIR.

>> CONSIDERED A SIDE-BY-SIDE SINGER.

HE'S THERE TO HELP CHOIR MEMBERS WHO ARE DEALING WITH SOME FORM OF DEMENTIA.

>> THEY SIT DOWN FROM MUSIC AND SO HEARTWARMING.

ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHING CLICKS THEY CAN SING AGAIN.

THEY CAN READ MUSIC >> WOW.

>> MOLLY PHILLIPS JOINED THE INNER METS ACQUIRE WITH THEIR HUSBAND, J P WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AS A BOARD CERTIFIED MUSIC THERAPIST AND EDUCATOR.

NOBODY NEEDED TO CONVINCE HER THAT HE WOULD BENEFIT FROM SEEING WITH THE CHOIR.

HE HAS SINCE DIED.

SHE IS NOW THE CHOIRS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR.

>> WE JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PEOPLE.

I DO THINK IT WAS DIVINE THAT WE WE'RE ABLE TO TO MEET WITH THIS GROUP AND MEET ALL OF THE PEOPLE HERE BECAUSE IT'S LITERALLY OPENED UP SOUTHWEST FLORIDA AND THAT CREATIVE PEACE IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

TO ME AS A MUSICIAN.

>> THE CHOIR IS OPEN TO PEOPLE OF ALL LEVELS OF CORAL EXPERIENCE KNOW AUDITION REQUIRED >> SOME PEOPLE ONLY GET LYRIC SHEETS WHEN THEY COME IN AND WE'LL SING THROUGH JUST THE LYRIC SHEETS.

OTHER PEOPLE ARE MORE ACCOMPLISHED, SINGERS ARE MORE EXPERIENCED SINGERS AND THAT THEY'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO SINGING THEIR WHOLE LIVES AND HAVE MAYBE GOTTEN AWAY FROM MUSIC.

AND NOW THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK INTO IT.

THIS IS A GREAT OPTION FOR THAT AS WELL.

THE U.S.

>> PHILLIPS SAYS THAT SINGING CAN SUPPORT MOOD, SOCIAL CONNECTION, MEMORY, SELF EXPRESSION, MOVEMENT, BREATHING AND A SENSE OF BELONG.

>> THERE'S SO MANY PHYSICAL BENEFITS BREATHING IS SUCH A HUGE PIECE AND YOU'LL NOTICE LIKE IN OUR WARM UP.

SO WE REALLY FOCUS ON TAKING NICE, DEEP BREATHS, FULL BRASS FILLING UP OUR LUNGS, TAKING THOSE NICE DEEP BREATHS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T TEND TO DO, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S ANXIETY INVOLVED WHEN THERE'S WE'RE OUT OF ROUTINE AND WE MAY BE ANXIOUS ABOUT AN APPOINTMENT OR DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT ALSO JUST THE PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF RELAXING AND PARTICIPATING IN SOMETHING YOU TRULY ENJOY.

I THINK HAS A LOT OF GREAT HEALTH BENEFITS AS WELL.

>> WE DO A LOT OF MOVEMENT TO WITH OUR MUSIC.

I'M TRYING TO JUST, YOU KNOW, STRETCH AND MOVING TO THE OF THE APPLE.

>> A MAN TO KELLY JOINED THE CHOIR WHEN IT PRACTICED AT SAINT HILLARY SUPER SKUBAL CHURCH IN FORT MYERS.

SHE WAS ABLE TO ADAPT WHEN PRACTICE MOVED TO COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN.

>> WELL, BECAUSE WILL ONCE THEY WAS RIGHT UP MY OWN CHURCH IN THE BEGINNING.

BUT WELL, I THOUGHT, OH, IT WASN'T CAUGHT A NICE.

AND MOLLY'S RIGHT.

IT GIVES ME A CHANCE.

THE SAME OF THE CAUSE, MY OWN CHURCH.

WE HAVE TO GO UPSTAIRS TO ACQUIRE LAW AREA AND I CAN TO THE STAIRS.

>> SHOT WAS A MEMBER OF THE MASTER SINGERS FOR YEARS AS WELL AS A MUSIC TEACHER, VOCAL COACHING CONDUCTOR AT 78.

SHE'S NOW A SIDE-BY-SIDE SINGER.

ALSO.

>> FROM THE AGE OF ABOUT 5 ARE DONE.

CONGRESS SEEING DOZENS OF WE AREN'T SO LUCKY COULD BE INVOLVED IN THEIR LIVES BECAUSE FOLKS LINED UP WHEN MEMORY COMS IN THE WAY OF MUSIC.

BECAUSE THIS FROM THE FLOOR PLAYED HARMONICA BEFORE OR ANYTHING.

THAT WAS PART OF THEM BEFORE MEMORY CAME ALONG AS AN ISSUE.

>> THEY'RE JUST HAPPY TO DO IT.

THE MELODIES ARE USUALLY FAMILIAR AND CHOIR MEMBERS LEARN NUANCES THAT ENHANCE THE SONGS AND ALSO THEY LEARN TO HARMONIZE.

>> WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOR TO BE PART OF YOUR CIRCLE, RIGHT?

SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S >> I FIT PARTLY HELPFUL.

IS THAT MEMORIZING A SONG?

HE'S NOT REQUIRED.

SO WE DON'T SAY WITHOUT MUSIC.

MANY CHOIRS SING WITHOUT MUSIC.

OR THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO READ IT.

NO, IT'S UNCOMMON TO MUSIC TO DO IT.

THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE BECAUSE WE WE ARE TALKING SLOW ENOUGH.

>> IT'S FAMILIAR TO AND FRIENDSHIP GROW ALONGSIDE THE MEMBERS SEEING ABILITY SAYS MOVEMENT.

>> I HAPPENED TO SIT NEXT TO THE SAME PERSON EVERY TIME WE'VE DEVELOPED SOMEWHAT OF A RELATIONSHIP BOTH IN THE CHOIR AND TALKING ON BRAKES AND BEFORE AND AFTER AND FINDING OUT THAT THIS GENTLEMAN IS ABSOLUTELY ENJOYABLE GUY.

SO I CAN TALK TO HIM ABOUT LONG-TERM THINGS IN HIS HISTORY.

HIS PAST HIS CAREER, HIS TRAVELS AND HE BRIGHTENS UP.

SO THAT'S THAT'S A WONDERFUL THING.

>> THERE ARE 2 CHANCES TO HEAR THE INNER METS ACQUIRE IN CONCERT THIS MONTH THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH AT COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN IN FORT MYERS.

THEY PRESENT OVER THE MOON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER.

FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO WHEC DOT ORG.

>> AND FOR WGC NEWS, THIS IS DANA HARPSTER WITH VIDEOGRAPHY BY A MAN DIDN'T SCORE WITH THEM OR WHAT.

>> COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK, A COLLIER COUNTY MUSEUM IS USING THE HISTORY OF ANTI-SEMITISM TO HELP VISITORS UNDERSTAND HOW HATRED DEVELOPS AND ASKE A LATE WGC USED.

ELIZABETH NRG TAKES US INSIDE THE EXHIBIT.

>> HE HAS A LONG HISTORY.

THE HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND COHEN EDUCATION CENTER IS SHOWING IT WALL BY WALL.

THEY'RE ASKING VISITORS TO LOOK AT ANTI-SEMITISM PAST AND PRESENT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE WALL HANGS A COPY OF THE INTERNATIONAL JU.

THIS WAS A COLLECTION OF ARTICLES FROM THE 1920'S FUNDED AND DISTRIBUTED BY KNOWN ANTISEMITE.

HENRY FORD MUSEUM, CURATOR CODY MAKER SAYS FORD ARTICLES IT'S AS FACTS.

>> SO HE WAS PULLING FROM STUFF ALREADY MADE STAFF THAT ARE ALREADY BEEN DEBUNKED BUT WAS STILL SEEN AS USABLE BY HIM.

2 FURTHER DEMONIZED THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMUNITY AND LED TO HIM BEING A BIT OF AN INSPIRATION TO A HEALTH CELL.

>> ANTI-SEMITISM STARTED LONG BEFORE HITLER SAYS MUSEUM PRESIDENT AARON BLANKENSHIP.

>> THE HOLOCAUST DIDN'T START WITH VIOLENCE.

IT DIDN'T START WITH THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

IT STARTED WITH WORDS, STARTED WITH PERSECUTION IS STARTED BY SEPARATING A COMMUNITY.

>> DOWN THE HALLWAY, SECOND GALLERY TITLED THE OLDEST HATRED MADE NEW MAKES THE CASE THAT ANTI-SEMITISM NEVER REALLY WENT AWAY.

MODERN CONSPIRACY THEORIES, LEAN ON THOSE SAME STEREOTYPES.

ACCORDING TO ONE DISPLAY, ANOTHER DISPLAY COVERS A HATE CRIME BOUGHT HERE IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

BLANKENSHIP SAYS THAT'S PARTICULARLY WHY THE MUSEUM FILLED IT HAD TO ACT.

>> THERE IS A A SHOCKING RISE IN ANTI-SEMITISM.

SO WE THOUGHT THAT WE COULD NOT IGNORE IT AND IT NEEDED TO BE FOCUSED ON AND NEEDED TO BE EXPLAINED.

AND THAT OUR VISITORS COULD HAVE SOME REALLY CAUGHT SOME REAL CONCRETE EXAMPLES.

SO THAT WHEN THEY'RE OUT AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEY KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY.

ANTI-SEMITISM SO THAT THEY CAN SPEAK OUT.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT FROM OUR VISITORS.

>> MADAM MAKER HOPES VISITORS LEAVE THE MUSEUM, KNOWING WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

>> HATRED.

>> DOESN'T COME FROM JUST OUT OF NOWHERE TO SHIRLEY.

>> LEARNED AND BUILT UPON USING TROPES USING STEREOTYPES, OTHERING TECHNIQUES, EVENTUALLY SAYING THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE SO DANGEROUS, TOO, WHO YOU ARE.

WE MUST ELIMINATE THAT WE MUST DESTROY THEM IN THE HOLE.

AND ONLY THROUGH SOCIETIES ACTIVELY OPPOSING IN REBUKING THAT HATRED THAT WE DON'T SEE THEM.

ULTIMATELY.

GAINING GROUND.

>> FOR WGC YOU NEWS.

I'M LISBETH AND RG.

>> COMING UP ON OUR NEXT PROGRAM AS POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS BEGIN TO DRIFT TOWARD THE 2020 ELECTIONS.

WE EXAMINE THE ROLE OF THE LATINO VOTE AND HOW IT COULD SHAPE FLORIDA AND AMERICAN POLITICS MOVING FORWARD.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

MAKE SURE YOU HEAD TO WGC YOU DOT WORK WHERE YOU'LL FIND ALL OF OUR STORIES.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN RIGHT HERE FOR SOUTHWEST FLORIDA IN FOCUS.
