MarjorieSchneider

It is incredible how some of our childhood memories stick with us throughout our lives. People that we meet can have such a substantial impact on our future years and the direction we take in life.

There are a few folks who have such a strong character that they alone can will a community to grow and prosper, while maintaining class, dignity and respect for the place they call home.

We recently lost a person of just that status in Port Dover, and I think we will feel that loss for years to come, but the foundation that was laid is still what makes Port Dover a uniquely welcoming place.

Back in 2009, I asked Marjorie Schneider if I could interview her for the Hub, she was more than happy to have me pop by her home and share a few stories with me.

I have to admit at the end of the interview, I felt like I had stepped back in time in our little town. I strolled along Main Street from the Lewis grocery store, past the Dairy Bar, peaked in at the Norfolk Tavern, went down the hill to the Arbor, around the corner and up the front steps of the Erie Beach.

Mrs Schneider regaled me with many stories of the owners of these establishments, and placed high praise upon each and every one as builders in our community.

I picked up on just how vital each business was to each other in helping the economy of Port Dover grow. These families were not only about business; they were also about friendship and trust that took precedent over all else.

The growth of the Erie Beach was not just the Schneider family's success, it was the town's success. Many a long hour were spent in the Erie Beach kitchen cooking up a storm, providing meals for the everyday guy right up to Prime Ministers of this country!

She told me a great Lester Pearson story of how he wanted to meet the cook and asked her to come out. She refused because she was not appropriately dressed to receive such a distinguished guest, so he went to the kitchen to thank her. Only she could turn down the Prime Minister!

After our visit, I would occasionally receive a handwritten letter from Mrs Schneider; it always made my day!

She understood what friendship meant and the importance it played in the community. She and her husband, Harold, truly were the roots of the Port Dover, making it a community that we all love and gravitate to!

I found an old Bob Dylan radio interview from Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

1962 that provided the inspiration for us to create Bob Dylan a three-part Boomer Music Experience audio podcast for our listeners.

In our first part, Randy and I take a look at the early folk years of Dylan and who his influences were and the path it took him on.

In part two, we chat about the electric years, working with The Band and don't forget about PROFESSIONAL DJ SERVICES those basement tapes.

IN THE

LONG

RUN

By CHARLIE UPSHALL

A SUMMER ON THE ROADS “Focus on the journey, not the destination.

Joy is found not in finishing an activity, but in doing it.� ~ Greg Anderson The four-month pilgrimage ended on August 31. The Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee (GVRAT) was one for the books. What have I learned from this once in a lifetime challenge? What enabled me to be successful?

All of the top finishers were able to do more than I ever did in a single day, but few of them were as consistent, and few of them went for 123 days without taking a rest day or a small mileage day now and then. I would say that one thing I learned is that it does not matter how slowly you are going forward in life, as long as you do not stop. In the end, it is your road and your road alone. Others may walk part of it with you. That makes it much more enjoyable and memorable, but still, no one can walk it for you. I made the decision to have a virtual race be the focus of my entire summer. I alone wrestle with the worth and benefits of this decision. I believe it turned out to be a good choice, especially given the need for social distancing and the dearth of activities available during a year of the coronavirus pandemic.

My body benefitted in certain ways as it adapted to walking and jogging for an average of five hours every day. My feet are toughened up to the degree that I only had one minor blister. My resting heart rate dropped to an all-time low. Daily swelling in my knees was reduced. More so, I believe my mind benefitted in ways that are important to me. I know that I still have the will power, determination and drive to compete in long-distance ultramarathon races. I feel confident that I can push myself a little harder and a little longer than most people. I simply assume that I can go a little farther. Generally, if you believe fervently enough that you can reach a goal, then you will eventually reach it.

I learned that the best way for me to reach a big goal is

to break the path into sections. I didn't view the GVRAT as one long four-month event. I divided it into more fathomable smaller chunks of time or distance. I didn't look past the next month, or the next distance goal of 1000 km or 1000 miles and so on. Once I attained a certain benchmark, I assigned myself the next one, a little bigger or a little smaller, depending on my mental state and sense of fatigue at the time. I didn't celebrate part-way achievements or think of them once I had moved on to the next section. In the end, that strategy carried me further than I ever imagined when I began.

I finished not wanting to do any more, but without any feeling of burnout.

I believe that I can use the physical improvement of my endurance and the mental toughness honed by four months of long hours travelled in frequently hot conditions to improve my chances for a good result at next May's, 6 Days at the Fair race. I was not able to participate this year due to the very appropriate travel restrictions between Canada and the United States.

At the same time, as I was concentrating on the virtual race, I was thinking about the state of my property.

It has suffered from my neglect for a few years, but particularly this year because with the combination of the energy devoted to the race and the heat of this summer, I only did the bare basics of maintenance. I did not address any of the long-standing and everincreasing overgrowth. I wanted to be able to apply what I was discovering during my odyssey to the property when I finished. The reclaiming of my land was to be another work-intensive, relatively long term physical project. In fact, it is turning out to be much more expansive than I thought. Every task completed seems to reveal something else that needs attention.

Beginning the yard initiative has cemented in my mind what I have realized is the most important lesson from my summer. There is nothing that equates with the value of friendship. My race would not have been so enjoyable or memorable without the camaraderie of those I walked with, led by fellow race participant Cathy Hughes.

Most likely, I would not have travelled as far without company because we pushed each other through some very hot days. With the home jungle taming, I could not have done anywhere near as much as has already been accomplished without the able assistance of special friends. One of those is my neighbour Brendan Milner, with his take charge and let's do it attitude, his physical strength and his yearning to man the chainsaw. The property is being rejuvenated. There is not much in life more satisfying than working hard on a project while spending time with people whose company you enjoy.

As the poet, Emily Dickenson said, "My friends are my estate."

Now that fall has arrived you may be noticing some changes in your hair and skin. The cooler air brings less humidity, which can cause your hair and skin to lack moisture. This is a great time to add a moisturizing mask to your hair care regime. A mask can help to nourish dry hair, while at the same time helping to seal the ends of your hair to prevent split ends and breakage.

Many people also find their skin care routine may need to change slightly in the fall. A skin hydrating booster is a great option for adding extra hydration to dry skin. Your summer moisturizer may also need to be set aside for a few months and be switched out for something slightly heavier that will help with combating dry skin that comes along with the cooler weather.

For great product, hair and skin care recommendations and to discover which products are best for you, come see one of our well-educated stylists and skin care therapists! We look forward to seeing you!

FALL COLOURS &

FunFashion!

Erin and Katherine work together at Eising Greenhouses and Garden Centre and have been best friends long before that. So when they were asked to do the photoshoot for the Sassyfras Boutique, they were happy to hang out, have some fun and try out the latest in fashion.

The young ladies are all styled out for the fall weather, both are wearing jumpers

by Apricot. Erin with the black crossover V-neck front jumper with the stand out silver buttons. While Katherine prefers the black and grey chevron pattern, which goes nicely with her Terrera (formerly named LNBF) bamboo leggings.

Katherine and Erin agree that the jumpers can be worn as a dress or with leggings, and look stunning with flats or boots!

Both Katherine and Erin are wearing a Soya Concept top with ž length sleeve.

Erin in sage green and Katherine in black.

Katherine's stunning jewellery accents the perfect fall day. She is wearing multiple bracelets from GOOD WORKS, and check out that necklace from BUJOUX DESERT, entitled Timeless Piece.

Meanwhile, Erin looks elegant with her tricolour stretch bracelets, which suit her outgoing personality, and we cannot forget her stunning necklace made By Chance.

When you pop by Eising's, say hello to this dynamic duo and let them help you with all your fall colour needs in the garden centre.

A BUCKET LIST for SELF CARE BARB ANSTEAD, Holistic Nutritionist

You Can’t Get Water From an Empty Bucket: Imagine you have a bucket. Everything you need is in this bucket, and you carry it with you everywhere. Perhaps it is a brand new, shiny bucket or maybe yours is a little older a few dents, dings and a bit of rust. We’ll call it character!

Regardless, YOU need this bucket because everything YOU need for your life is within it. It’s completely full of refreshing, life-giving water. This bucket is a huge responsibility though, you have to carry it with you everywhere you go, every second of the day.

Life gets busy, though, and there are so very many demands on everyone. Sometimes we tend to run with our bucket, water sloshes out as we go from home to work or school and multiple activities. Perhaps our children have tipped theirs over, and we share some of our water with them, or you have ill or aging parents that can’t manage a full bucket. The scenarios are endless, but the point is when we run ourselves ragged and don’t pay attention to our own bucket by going back to the well to fill it up, eventually, our bucket will be empty, and we have nothing left for ourselves or anyone we care about.

Self Care as a Discipline: Most of us can list off dozens of excuses for not taking better care of ourselves.

Self care is not selfish, it’s sensible, and you deserve it as much as anyone else you care for.

The sad truth is that many people don’t give much thought to their health until they don’t have it anymore. It is so much easier to stay healthy than it is to repair the damage we cause ourselves with careless nutrition and lifestyle choices.

Chronic dis-ease is rampant in North America.

Starting with sound habits when you are young is certainly

the best way to enjoy and maintain good health and vitality.

Fortunately, our bodies are quite miraculous when we tune in and care for it with love and respect.

Your “Bucket List” for Self Care Recommendations: First and foremost – PLEASE don’t ignore signs or symptoms. Your body is giving you an opportunity to correct things, and professional help may be required. Don’t mask problems with over the counter products!

Drink plenty of clean, fresh water Focus on a diet of nutrient-dense, whole foods Consider Nutraceuticals and supplements to round out your nutritional needs Get plenty of sleep Exercise your body and your mind each day Manage stress Practice good physical Hygiene Take time in nature and breathe Maintain healthy, loving, mutually respectful relationships Emotional, Mental and Spiritual health are all critical aspects of overall health – deficits in these areas can have serious impacts on our health.

Work with health care professionals that understand and respect your needs, proper assessments and diagnostic measures are all part of staying in tune with our selves.

Keep your immune system optimized by following these holistic approaches.

Help is Available: Holistic nutrition is my passion, and it is always an honour to educate and empower others.

If you are struggling with health concerns or interested in

Self-care is just what it implies, taking care of yourself, eating well, resting, exercising, and doing something that makes you truly happy!

Why is self-care important? If you don’t take care of yourself, who is going to? Who is going to take care of everyone else when you can’t? Imagine yourself as a car (I prefer to choose a nice shiny, sleek sports car).

The car (you) needs to be filled with fuel when it Quality is low, regular Providing Eye maintenance to be able to run properly and be reliable when needed. The car is useless to anyone when it is broken down and doesn’t work. If you had scheduled the maintenance, the car would be operating at top performance, not broken down.

Do YOU get regular maintenance, fill YOURSELF up with fuel?

Please take the time to consider what really fills you up with joy.

Realize what it is and make a plan to add it to your routine, guiltfree! Make it attainable and realistic.

Creating new healthy habits can be easy. If you need help, hypnosis is an excellent tool to get you on track! Don’t wait until you are broken down on the side of the road before you add regular maintenance to your day.

Wishing you wellness and contentment.

Finding Gratitude in the Midst of a Crisis

As we near Thanksgiving, which is traditionally a time of reflection and giving gratitude and thanks for all that’s good in our lives.

Since mid-March, our world as we know it has drastically changed due to COVID. The virus has infiltrated our lives, impacting our health, our emotional well-being, our finances, our businesses, our economy and even our food supply.

There are no easy answers to this complex problem; however, the constant barrage of information can be enough to completely overwhelm and defeat a person — if you let it.

During this time of crisis, we’ve certainly all been emotionally impacted by the “new normal.” However, facing uncertainties with calmness, strength, and a problem-solving attitude will help us weather this storm.

AND THE

BY KEVIN ROCKEFELLER

On Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the front-line health care workers, who face the unknown every time they put on their scrubs and head to work to treat COVID-19 patients. I’m also grateful for the administrators, doctors, nurses and staff members, personal care workers, who keep our hospitals and long-term care facilities safe, effective and efficient in providing exemplary care for our communities.

I’m thankful my family has remained healthy during this crisis, and I pray that yours does, too.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m worried about the spread of the virus… the anticipated second wave. However, today, I’m going to find the good. I’m going to champion for optimism.

I’m going to surround myself with problem solvers and forward thinkers.

To close, I want to give a big thank you to the movers, doers, free-thinkers, creators, designers, problem-solvers, innovators, etc. — whoever you are and whatever you do — you are essential, and I’m thankful for you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, it has been hard to safely find comfort and companionship. I know some people who have managed to find it. I had a talk with Dee, Aaron, Leah and her dog Panda.

Panda is 13 years old and is Lab and part Landseer Newfoundland. Panda is not a registered Therapy dog, but when I asked Leah what makes a good therapy dog, Leah gave me some good qualities that Panda has. Panda is gentle, knows her basic commands of sit, and stay.

Important qualities of a therapy dog are that they need to be patient, confident, gentle, at ease in all situations, that they enjoy human contact, and like to be cuddled, petted and handled. Panda naturally has these qualities and has shown to be a good companion. Leah feels it depends on how dogs are treated, saying that we should treat a dog how you want to be treated.

Panda has befriended Dee and Aaron and helps to make their home a loving, calm environment.

I asked Aaron what he likes about having Panda around, especially during the virus. Aaron said that Panda helps his anxiety and helps him stay calm. Panda rests her head on his lap as he pets her and she gives him kisses. Aaron says he gives treats to Panda after she sits and

stays for him. It took a while until Aaron was comfortable with this and now he takes her for walks at Waterford Ponds and walks on the trail. Aaron said he feels safe with her. Aaron walks with her 3-4 days a week and says how much he enjoys the walks with her.

Dee said she likes it when Panda watches TV with her, and she will sit on the couch beside her, and they watch Friends. Dee said she likes that Panda is a big dog and she feels safe in her home when Panda is there. Panda would bark if someone was trying to break in. Panda will also come overnight and will greet Dee in the morning. Dee said Panda makes her happy!

If you are interested in more information on therapy dogs, or how to teach your dog to be a therapy dog, contact Therapeutic Paws of Canada 905-8691348 or tpocpaws4healing@gmail.com.

They are in the Norfolk County area.

Note, everything is shut down right now due to the virus.
