ice Run!

By Dave Scott I’ve got to give a shout out to my friends (North Shore Runners) who ran in the Mississauga Marathon on the weekend. It was a great event, which had an emotional start with Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline playing over the loud speakers. All the folks at the starting line waved their arms in the air as they sang along in support of the folks down in Boston… a very fitting moment.

As for results… young Brody McKnight from Port Dover ran an amazing half marathon in one hour and thirty–one minutes… winning his age category.

I have followed Brody’s running exploits over the past few years, watching him at cross-country and track meets. He has been training with the North Shore group these last six months, and on the weekend he put his training to good use. This was his first really big race and I remember as we chatted at the start line how other runners were giving him high-fives and wishing him good luck. I think it kinda surprised Brody, the unwritten respect among runners. Well Brody, you are part of the running family now… Congratulations… Great run!

PS… quick congrats to Gail Walker who qualified to run in the full Boston Marathon, and to Derek Flint who also had a very strong showing!

By Claire Senko Mother's Day is less than a week away, which means it's definitely. not.the.mall time. The annual artisan fair at the Waterford Old Town Hall boasts an exciting and diverse array of regional artists and artisans presenting their wares: pottery, paintings, glass jewellery, candles, soaps, stained glass and much more. DNTM happens this Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11. Festivities begin at 7 pm Friday night with an exclusive Preview Gala Wine & Cheese. Guests are invited to mingle with the artists, sample local wine and enjoy live music and a presentation of a youth arts bursary to a deserving young

artist. Once again, The Old Town Hall is delighted to welcome myFM's Gerry Hamill as the evening's host.

On Saturday, the Hall's doors will fling open to the public at 10 am and the art show and sale will continue until 4 pm. Raffle tickets will be on sale for an elegant gift basket made up of donated pieces from each participating artisan, and a city getaway for two. This year, definitely.not.the.mall coincides with Doors Open Norfolk, so the Hall will greet touring visitors with information about the history and evolution of the 111 year old building. Folks will be treated to live music in the upper hall and luncheon fare will be offered in the

oston Run

By Dave Scott This past Saturday morning had absolutely beautiful weather to go for a run… and not just any run but a tribute run for the folks who endeavoured the tragedy at this year’s Boston Marathon.

I chatted with Bethany Timmerman who was one of the organizers of the event, which took place in Boston Ontario. Bethany explained the event was both a healing and a support process.

Both of us could feel the hairs on our arms rise as we talked about the tragedy and our sense of family between runners. It is not something everyone can understand, but those that do, appreciate that it is a bond that is unbreakable.

The camaraderie is always there… when you

least expect it… in the middle of a race as you receive words of encouragement from a fellow competitor… letting your strength be drawn upon to help a fellow runner… or high-fiving the young spectator at the side of the road as you go by… it is all there, a sense within the running community… when you boil it down, we never really race each other, we always race the clock… like life itself… so if life is a race, it is best to enjoy it with the folks you run with.

The event in Boston Ontario attracted over 400 folks, and of course had the usual dignitaries.

There were a few speakers and a letter was read from the Boston Athletic Association, thanking our Boston group for their support in these tough times. There was a parade lead by our own local bag pipers that included folks from the area who had competed in the Boston Marathon over the years.

After the singing of both national anthems and a moment’s silence to honour the Boston victims, the group headed on a 4.15 mile

country road run. The 4.15 mile distances signifying the date of the Marathon tragedy.

Racing Bibs were worn by all, displaying the unity of the day.

It was great to see many of the local running clubs proudly displaying their colours for the run… Brantford, Paris and Port Dover Clubs were well represented on this day.

Just wanted to say thanks again to Bethany Timmerman, Randy Papple, Kevin Murphy and Rick Mannen for organizing such a thoughtful event and a memorable morning… and of course thanks to Dr. Alan Plater Dr. Geoffrey Manchester our local police who kept Dr. Stephanie Landry the road clear for the 519.428.2630 415 Queensway W., Simcoe run. Great job by all!

Of The Week!

Norfolk District Women's Institute

By Helen Young Stuffed animals, lap robes and quilts were again gathered and donated by members of the Norfolk District Women's Institute at their annual meeting in Langton on April 29. Many of these are handmade and are donated annually to several local agencies who distribute them to children and adults.

Representatives spoke on the value of these gifts and they will go to local nursing homes and the hospital, the Children's Aid, the Women's Shelter and to the police for accident victims.

The theme for the day was "Norfolk Ontario's Garden" Guest speaker was Cheryl Peck from the Cider Keg. The eight branches in Norfolk had gathered $1220.13 through the year, and this will be sent to our head office in London, England to assist women in third world countries. Joan Johnstone was the lucky winner of the 50/50 draw.

nergy

By Dave Scott

Michael Pacheco was full of energy, last week when I met him. The twenty-one year old swimmer with the Simcoe Seals was wearing a smile that could light a room. His eyes danced as Seals’ swim coach, Shirley Shaw, informed Michael that he was going to the Canada Summer Games. Michael took in the moment as his teammates surrounded him, waving Canadian flags.

A few minutes later I pulled Michael aside and chatted with him about his achievement. For the last two years he has dedicated himself to swimming; working at his 100 free, 100 back, 50 free, 50 back and 50 breaststroke. Michael says he is now ready to show his best; his dream is the Special Olympics… ‘THE GOAL IS IN MY HEART…’ he says

D

The Canadian Games will take place in Sherbrooke, Quebec, August 2nd to August 17th, with over 4,200 athletes from across Canada participating in twenty disciplines on twenty different sites during the sixteen days of events.

Michael wanted to thank all the folks who have been helping him train, Shirley, Chris, Marci, Ed and of course his parents and teammates.

Michael has that ‘it’ factor that makes you just want to help him… his sincerity is genuine while his outlook and passion are that of a true champion!

Keep an eye on this young man and show him Norfolk is behind him!

PS… on a separate note Seals’ swim coach, Shirley Shaw, was named swim coach for team Ontario at the games…

Congrats Shirley!

Supervised Access Centre

Did you know May is Supervised Visitation Awareness month? It is a month long celebration to recognize and pay tribute to the valuable services offered by Supervised Access Centres not only in Ontario, but internationally. Safe child Access Centres exist to provide a comfortable space for children and their families for parental visitation. These safe, neutral and child focused Access Centres help ensure conflict-free access and safety for both children and parents/family members during visit or exchange times, and have a positive impact on our communities.

The Centre is a tool that can help families as they go through difficult and/or transitional times. Orange ribbons symbolize safety and are worn in support of this campaign across North America.

The Supervised Visitation Network, an organization consisting of over 500 visitation providers worldwide, adopted the Orange Ribbon Campaign in May of 2001, and continues to use the symbol of the orange ribbon throughout May (and each day of the year) to raise awareness about the need and impact of safe child access.

This year the Ontario Chapter of the Supervised Visitation Network is hosting the international conference in Toronto from May 29 to June 1. Participants will include individuals from Israel, Japan, Australia twenty different states

in the U.S. and five provinces of Canada. This year the Supervised Visitation Network is celebrating the 21st Anniversary of Supervised Visitation at the upcoming conference (www.svnetwork.net).

The Ministry of the Attorney General provides funding for Supervised Access Centres in fiftytwo Court Districts across Ontario.

Expanding from fourteen initial pilot projects in 1992, there are currently 106 centres in Ontario.

Dalhousie Place Supervised Access Centre began serving Brantford and District in 1992, and began providing Supervised Access in the Haldimand Norfolk Community in 1999. This service has continued to expand and currently the Haldimand-Norfolk Supervised Access Centres are located at 41 Kent Street North in Simcoe and at 172 Argyle Street North in Caledonia. Dalhousie Place is currently seeking volunteers for the Simcoe and Caledonia Centres for a few hours per month to work in a professional environment supporting the children and families in our community. Staff and volunteers operate under the guidelines of the Ministry of the Attorney General (www. attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca).

Contact the Simcoe centre by calling (519) 428-4838 (ext 32) for more information about our services, volunteering, or the orange ribbon campaign.

rite to Give Day

World Teacher Aid announces plans for Fourth Annual “Write to Give Day” World Teacher Aid will host event at Brantford’s Sanderson Centre in May

World Teacher Aid, a Canadian Charity created

by Port Dover residents Stu and Amy McLaren, has announced that the fourth annual “Write to Give Day” will be held on May 15th. The event will be held at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts in Brantford from 11 am to 12:30 pm. It is anticipated that 1000 students will attend the live event, and it will also be streamed to students in Japan, the United States, Norway, and Barrie.

World Teacher Aid’s “Write to Give” program was designed in 2009 to give elementary school

students the opportunity to become published authors, while raising funds for children in developing nations at the same time. To date, Write to Give has published more than 100 books, all written and illustrated by students.

Over 5000 elementary students from across Canada, as well as in Norway, Japan, China, Switzerland, and the USA have participated in the program. The books are published in partnership with Scholastic Canada, and sell for $15 each, with proceeds going towards World Teacher Aid’s educational programs in

Africa and Central America. With over 95% of Grand Erie District School Board’s Elementary Schools having involvement in the Write to Give program, it not only provides needed education resources to developing nations, it provides local students valuable literacy skills, in a unique and engaging format.

Established in 2009, “Write to Give Day” gives children the opportunity to celebrate becoming published authors, and helping others around the

When should you stArt cAnAdA PensIon PlAn benefIts?

“When should I start Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits?” is a question I’m asked more often since the new CPP rules began to impact retiring people. I take that question to mean that retiring people want to adjust their planning so that they can derive the maximum dollar benefit from CPP benefits. When trying to determine your potential optimum age to start CPP benefits you need to consider a number of things; 1) How long do you think you will live (family longevity, your current health status).

2) Other sources of income (employment, business, trusts, RRIF, OAS) 3) Your cashflow from now to when you turn into an angel (income vs expenses) 4) The tax implications of taking CPP benefits earlier vs later.

We will discuss the above points in more detail in the next couple of articles.

Below is a short summary of the new CPP rules starting in 2011 and in full force by 2016.

1) The work test is removed. You no longer need to stop working or have a reduced income for two months in order to qualify for CPP benefits.

2) By 2016; if you choose to take CPP benefits at age 60 there is a 36% reduction in your benefits compared to taking them at age 65. Alternatively, if you decide to take CPP benefits at age 70 there is a 42% increase in your benefits compared to age 65.

3) If you decide to take CPP benefits between age 60 and 65 while still earning employment income you will be required to make CPP contributions. These are called the Post Retirement Benefit (PRB) and are required before age 65 but is optional after age 65. This also true for your employer. If you start your own consulting business after retiring you will be responsible for both the employee and employer contributions.

The new rules discourage taking early CPP benefits and encourage taking later CPP benefits. When CPP was introduced, the average age was 66 years and now it’s 80 years; the rules reflect the fact that people are living longer.

In the next article we will look more closely at calculating your cross-over; how long you have to live to make it financially wise to delay taking CPP benefits.

Radial Shockwave Therapy

Dr. Marshall Thompson, B.Sc.DC Radial Shockwave Therapy is a new treatment option for those that are affected by conditions such as: • plantar fasciitis • bursitis • Achilles tendinopathy (commonly known as Achilles tendonitis) • tennis elbow • calcific tendonitis

How does it work?

A pneumatic generator physically delivers the shock wave to the skin, where it is transformed to sound energy and delivered to the targeted area. The use of shock waves makes the treatment completely non-invasive and is well tolerated by patients. The effects of shock waves were discovered several decades ago after it was noticed swimmers in the Pacific Ocean were affected by the detonation of mines although they were well out of the blast radius. As the scientific community grew more understanding of the effects caused by shock waves, and medical technology advanced to a sufficient level, the medical profession was able to harness the power of shock waves for therapeutic uses.

Radial Shockwave Therapy works by effectively breaking down tissue in a controlled manner to allow the targeted area to heal properly through the regeneration of blood vessels. It has shown to be successful in the treatment of chronic pain.

Results can be felt after only one treatment with a large improvement becoming evident after a month’s worth of treatment, on average tissue regeneration takes place after three months. With Radial Shockwave Therapy, patients are in and out the door with treatments typically only taking between five to ten minutes.

GardeninG Tips

The BenefiTs of GardeninG

o one will dispute the obvious physical benefits of being outdoors, in fresh air, working the soil with hands, arms, legs and, occasionally, sore back. Along with the physical workout, one’s mind is often clear, eyes bright and sense of accomplishment and satisfaction high.

The mental benefits of gardening, not as outwardly obvious and measurable as the physical benefits, are important to note. Along with satisfaction of a job well done, alleviation of stress, increased mental alertness and memory, and the ability to problem solve have been attributed to gardening activities by occasional and avid gardeners. As support, the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association website (www.chta.ca/) recognizes “the positive benefits of the interaction between people and plants and gardens to improve cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well being.” No wonder hospitals, care residences and hospice centres are adding gardens to their facilities; these are places where people can sit, touch the soil, work the earth and heal.

Beyond the well-being to mind, body and, ultimately spirit, the benefits of gardening can become very measurable - measurable by dollars and cents.

In office situations, studies have shown increased employee productivity in work spaces that include plants and green spaces. Rooms with houseplants such as spider plants, peace lilies and snake plants can boast cleaner air that can lead to a healthier workplace, supporting employee performance.

Offices, lobbies and the exterior of businesses that incorporate well maintained green material offer a welcoming atmosphere to staff and clients alike.

Homes with increased “curb appeal” fetch a higher dollar in re-sale. Experts cite increases in value of 5% - 12% in homes with attractive landscaping over ones with no landscaping. Neighbourhoods where homes are cared for and nicely landscaped are safer and ultimately retain their value. An American Urban Geography study concluded that “well-maintained window boxes, gardens, lawns and community spaces... gives the impression of a stable, healthy community — people are watching out for that neighbourhood.”

Plants are more than simply pretty and can provide varied benefits to mind, body, spirit and pocketbook.

They have become not just a luxury for people with leisure-filled days, but instead a necessity for all who wish to live an overall healthy life style.

Come in and check out our new line from Pacifica. Perfumes, Body Butters and Lip Quench’s in four delectable, summery scents; Indian Coconut Nectar, Island Vanilla, Hawaiian Ruby Guava and Brazilian Mango Grapefruit!

Pacifica is a skincare company that produces, affordable, natural skincare products. All of Pacifica’s products are made using primarily natural ingredients which means that environmentally destructive ingredients found in regular skincare products-such as propylene glycol and phthalates-are eschewed in favour of sustainable alternatives.

Moreover, the company’s products are 100% vegan; they use no animal ingredients and do not test on animals. Further, Pacifica Products strives to be as “green” as possible, recycling its waste and using recycled packaging wherever possible.

For many customers, this all sounds great - most of us would love to purchase all-green products. Unfortunately, the cost of such products is often prohibitive; few people can afford to spend fifteen dollars on a bar of soap. This is where Pacifica is different, its products are affordably priced something that cannot be said of many other natural skincare products on the market.

We are also very excited to be carrying Suncoat Mascara. This sugarbased natural mascara is Canadian! It’s made with a natural sugarbased biopolymer, kaolin clay, earth pigments and enriched with vitamin E to naturally build lash volume and length. A superior alternative for your sensitive eyes and our environment, it’s biodegradable, not tested on animals and vegan. So far everyone is loving this product.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our special moms!

By MARG WERDEN Major milestone for LPBO The Long Point Bird Observatory (LPBO) reached a major milestone last month as it banded its 900,000th bird since beginning their bird banding program in 1960. The landmark bird was an adult male Red-winged Blackbird banded at the Breakwater Research Station.

The purpose of banding birds is to monitor the migration of birds as they pass over Long Point to and from their wintering and breeding grounds. The data collected helps scientists determine which species are declining or increasing over time. It also provides information about where birds travel during their migrations. Begun in 1960, this project is the longest-running program of its kind in North America.

Long Point is an ideal location for this kind of program because of its location in the middle of Lake Erie on one of the principal flyways for birds travelling between North and South America. Jutting 32 kilometres into Lake Erie, Long Point offers a resting point for tired birds crossing the lake. The habitat on the Point offers food and shelter before the birds continue on their journey. This large concentration of birds allows volunteers to

The Long Point Bird Observatory recently banded its 900,000th bird since the inception of the program in 1960. capture a wide variety of birds and collect data about them before releasing them. The resultant data is particularly valuable for monitoring populations of species that breed in northern Canada where breeding grounds are inaccessible.

Birds are counted at three field stations on the Point: on the tip, at the breakwater station about onethird of the way out, and at the Old Cut station, at the base of the point. The Old Cut station is open to visitors and is an interesting place to learn more about the migration monitoring program.

Bird banding begins just before sunrise and continues for about six hours each day. The data collected tells scientists a great deal about the birds including what proportion of them are young birds (an indication of breeding success), how healthy they are (based on their weight and body fat), how long they stay at Long Point, and where they are migrating to (based on birds that are later captured or found elsewhere and their bands reported). In addition to the banding, volunteers also carry out a standardized census to count birds that were not caught in the nets, and they keep track of all the migrants they observe throughout the day. At the end of the day, all the participants gather together and tally all the birds they recorded, to get an estimate of the total number of each species that stopped at the station during the day.

The data collected over the past five decades has resulted in a huge data base that provides a look at long-term population trends in many of the species.

One of the findings is that many species appear to have undergone marked population fluctuations over the years. For example, many neotropical migrants (species that winter in the tropics) decreased in the 1960s, increased in the 1970s, and decreased again in the 1980s.

Many temperate migrants followed the opposite pattern. In the 1990s, many species increased, though some species continued to decline.

Overall, in recent years, many species have begun to increase again, but there are still some species that need help. Some Canadian bird species have shown fairly consistent declines over the years, which could be due to many factors such as loss or deterioration of wintering habitats, or destruction and fragmentation of breeding habitats.

Some of the species that show persistent declines include most of the thrushes, the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and several warblers like the Ovenbird, American Redstart and Canada Warbler. Declining species that winter in the southern U.S. include the White-throated Sparrow, Rufous-sided Towhee and Brown Thrasher.

Visitors are welcome at the Old Cut Station to observe bird banding demonstrations from 9:00 am until noon daily, weather permitting,

world as a result. The day will include live entertainment for those in attendance, with a performance by Ijovu Dance (www.ijovududance. com). Students will also view a slide show, pictures, and video of children in Kenya enjoying the books created

by Write to Give participants, allowing them to see how their creations have helped others directly.

Co-founder of World Teacher Aid, Amy McLaren commented, “The Write to Give program benefits are two-fold. Not only does Write to Give help us achieve our goal of bringing education to children in remote areas, it introduces our students to the joy of seeing their own work published. Who knows, maybe some of these young authors and illustrators will have a future career in the publishing world.”
