umpstart the Swim

By Dave Scott If all of us could smile as much as Chris Peters, the world would be a much better place. I have known of Chris for a long time and as young men I know our paths most likely crossed at a few social gatherings.

Now he being a Simcoe boy, and I being a Dover boy, well, we never really got to know each other, but that changed I guess about five years ago when he was preparing to swim from Pottahawk to Turkey Point. We hit it off immediately, I was impressed with his swimming, but even more so with his personality.

He is the type of guy that when you are his friend it is for life, and I have personally witnessed his passion and drive to help others.

We can swim our butts off for an hour or two… you feel like you are going to die as you pull yourself from the water… arms and legs are weary and tired… the exhaustion showing on your face… and then you look over and see Chris… with his great big smile on his face… and you hear him say something like, “Hey, lets do one more lap…”

Chris Peters (left) visits with Wendy Inglis at the Canadian Tire Store in Simcoe in support of Jumpstart. This summer Chris will swim from Long Point to Port Dover in support of Jumpstart and to raise water safety awareness.

The smile you see just makes you want to go with him. He is a rare commodity and most likely one of the funniest guys to hang out with!

So when Chris called and asked if I would be interested in helping out with a swim he wanted to do… I said of course.

Chris explained that since he started doing the Pottahawk swim years ago, he had this idea about swimming from Long Point to Port Dover. Somehow I bet the swim ends on the Beach House patio.

A few years back, a bunch of us swam from Port Ryerse to Dover… but not Chris, he started in Turkey Point and went to Dover with his sister joining in along the way (in memory of their brother).

I kinda knew then Chris was thinking of something bigger down the road. Well last summer he got busy… Chris was proud to be one of Annaleise Carr’s pacers for her journey across Lake Ontario… so this is the year for his swim.

Where did this love affair with the water begin? He reflects on the times with his two older brothers in the backyard pool. Water was

very much a part of his life. He also recounts falling into the pool at a young age (scaring his mother!).

Chris says when he fell in; he just naturally started to swim to the other side and climbed out. He later took swimming at the outdoor Pool in Simcoe and then at the indoor pool at the Recreation Centre in Simcoe. Swimming remained in his life until his teenage years at which time other interests took over. Hmm, I wonder what those could be?

He married Lynn, the love of his life, settled in and raised two wonderful and beautiful daughters… he didn’t really think much about swimming. He played some hockey and dabbled in other sports but that was about it…for Chris his real return to swimming happened just six years ago when he and his wife and daughters were down camping at Long Point. At the time a gentlemen name Dan Nichols was swimming from Erie to Long Point.

Chris saw Dan come ashore and it got him going.

The swim intrigued Chris, restarted a fire that had been smouldering

beneath the surface for years. He decided then and there it was time to get back in the water, to return to a passion he had enjoyed as a kid with his brothers and sister. At this time in his life one of Chris’s older brothers had passed away, his other brother was battling personal demons, and Chris’s sister was living in the States. His mom, who lives in this area, is somewhat of a fitness expert (Cissy Peters) and has always advised them to keep active physically. Now being in his 40’s, his perspective on life was changing; it was time to start taking on new challenges.

As fate would have it Chris’s sister had stopped into North Shore Runners in Port Dover when

Discovering Birds in Norfolk with George & Vic

Bobolink

By George Pond Bobolinks were once very common breeding birds here in Norfolk County. Today, however, with changing farming practices and the elimination of grasslands and pastures Bobolinks are hard to find in this part of Ontario. Don’t get me wrong there are still lots of these handsome birds in Ontario but the warning signs are clear.

S

tu McLaren

By Dave Scott In this ever-changing world, we are provided with daily opportunities to educate ourselves on just about anything… for independent entrepreneurs, it is imperative that we are always on the lookout for ways to make our business grow and flourish.

Tradition dictates that business folks must advertise in the traditional means… but what if you could have the best of both worlds, traditional and the new evolution of marketing.

I took a break, put my pen down

Bobolinks are grassland birds.

They prefer old pastures, clover fields and meadows. They nest on the ground and like meadowlarks are very vulnerable to early hay cutting and loss of habitat. Listen for their rich bubbling, gurgling song when you are near a clover field. Then watch as two or three birds lift from their hiding place in the grass and like miniature helicopters fly across the field only to disappear again into some unseen retreat.

I photographed this Bobolink on a misty windy day as it sat forlornly on an old barbed wire fence. Its feathers danced in the wind.

Vic Gibbons has left the bird on the rusting fence wire but the once grassy meadow is now filling in with tiny saplings. The weather beaten fence post and broken strands of wire are reminders of days gone by.

Days when every farm was divided with fields of wheat, oats, barley and corn; with pasture land for the cows and hay for a winter day. They

and sat with Stu McLaren who is a very successful internet marketing expert.

Stu who is part owner in two software companies RhinoSupport. com and WishListMember.com has been travelling all over North America the last number of years, spreading the word on how to properly utilize internet marketing for small business.

Stu, who hails from Waterford and resides in Port Dover with his wife Amy and their daughter Marla, strongly believes Norfolk is ready to lead the way with innovative marketing enhancement ideas for their businesses.

Stu says, “If you would you like to learn how to properly leverage the internet and generate more sales

for your business, then I encourage you to join us for this impactful oneday workshop where I will share the core essentials for any business looking to leverage the internet (regardless of the industry). By the end of the day, you’ll have a stepby-step plan to help you grow your reach, customer base and overall profits.”

Stu has the tools to help local business grow and he loves the area and wants success for all. So take the time to attend the session and find out how better to use the tools that are at your fingertips to grow your business.

Register for Your One-Day Marketing Makeover Workshop the cost is $197. This includes light refreshments, a manual and digital recordings of the event. The event

are gone now and soon the meadow will be a young forest and I wonder; is the Bobolink contemplating its future? Where will it find a mate and nest next year? Are there other grasslands nearby?

By fall he will turn a rich yellow buff colour with dark streaks on its back and sides. He will fly some 10,000 kilometres to wintering grasslands south of the Amazon Basin and hopefully return again come Spring.

takes place at the Norfolk District Business Development Corporation, Simcoe on Thursday, May 30th, from 9 am to 4:30 pm. To purchase a ticket for this event please go to www.Stu.Me/Workshops. For further information please email support@Stu.Me. Seating is limited.

ranks is essential, so practicing this saying means nobody is missed!

Now that springtime is here, this phrase can be adapted to what needs doing after the snow has gone and the ‘winter wear’ is showing’. Here is one example, if it moves greet it, if it does not move, does it need your attention? Yes, with springtime and sunshine ‘things’ do look differently!

There are several places that could need some time and effort - consider the shed, the garage, the trunk of the car and the yard. Now for places in the house that may also need looking after - closets, cupboards, drawers, files, piles of magazines and other papers etc. etc.! It is really interesting what is found! But before going any further, at least two boxes should be nearby and any other kind of container for the ‘things’ that will be ‘discovered’! One finds items that were going to be repaired, painted or the parts used to make something.

Some things that are ‘found’ you do not know why you would have such a thing and have no recollection of how it was acquired! Yes springtime

Seniors and Gambling: The Losses & Costs of ‘Gaming’

G

ambling has increasingly become a form of recreation for older adults. Some 68% of Canadian seniors gamble, and around 2.1% have moderate to severe gambling-related problems (Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse).

The legalization of gaming establishments, increased access, greater social acceptance and increases in disposable time and money have all rendered seniors more susceptible to the

is a discovery time and can be quite enjoyable. Sometimes it is so much fun finding things that the tidying up is slowed down, so keeping watch on the time is needed so that it is not time for supper and the garage floor is littered!!

Decisions on what to keep can be difficult but it helps to think about how often it was used or worn and, how it will help that community fundraiser, bazaar or yard sale. Of course, after all these thoughts, we all know that when the tidying up is done and the boxes are full, there will be a need for some of them. But when going shopping just think how springtime activities are good for business and the economy!!

“roll of the dice.” Seniors are targeted because of the tremendous market they represent for the gaming industry, and because they’re more likely to be tempted by incentive campaigns, such as cheap day-time transportation, free hotel stays, special promotions and free lunches.

Seniors gamble for a variety of reasons -- for fun, to make money, out of curiosity, or to escape from loneliness, depression, financial difficulties, declining health and emotional loss.

The most common gambling activities among older adults include the purchase of lottery and scratch tickets, and playing video lottery terminals, slot machines and bingo.

Seniors are often more vulnerable to gambling addiction because of a number of life factors.

For example, they may seek to mask the pain associated with losing a spouse, they may be lonely or depressed or they may be facing financial or health problems. These factors can predispose a senior to the hypnotic, anaesthetizing effect of gambling.

Gambling is also much more acceptable and accessible now than it was a few decades ago.

No longer a shady, illegal activity conducted in back rooms, ‘gaming’ (as the government euphemistically calls it) is now a legitimate form of recreation and entertainment.

Governments tout the benefits of gambling, but they too are addicted: lotteries pump dollars into government coffers for education, sports, health care. Casinos pay taxes that improve roads, support schools and promote tourism. No one ever has to go far to find another opportunity to gamble, whether it is a lottery, a casino or a horse-racing track. Internet gambling via poker sites is readily available; and as this trend becomes more widespread with the inclusion of other ‘gaming sports’, seniors can now gamble without leaving their lazy-boy.

While most people can enjoy gambling without consequences, the lure of quick money can have devastating financial effects on seniors because they have little or no opportunity to recuperate from their losses. In Alberta it was reported that VLTs and casino gambling are partly to blame for

the huge 15% bankruptcy rate among seniors.

Similar to substance addictions, gambling may start out innocently as a social engagement, but for some people can progress into a solitary activity, then into a habit, a secret, a loss of control and finally, an addiction “crisis.”

Among older gamblers who file for personal bankruptcy, most view their problem as a financial issue rather than one of addiction and therefore do not seek the help they need.

Compulsive or pathological gambling extends beyond losing money -- the disorder interferes with normal life activities and responsibilities, threatens physical health, sabotages reputations, and leads to psychological distress, and often suicide. Though the reported percentage of seniors with gambling and substance abuse issues is low, many hide their problem due to shame of straying so far from their deep-seeded cultural values of hard work, frugality and moderation.

If you know of a senior who may have a gambling problem, I urge you to help them get help by calling the Ontario Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-888-230-3505.

espiratory good inhaler use and care tips. #1 – Use a spacer (an Aerochamber ®) if you are using Health Tip a traditional puffer style inhaler.

By Lyndsey Ross, RRT, BSc.

P

uffers; many of us take puffers/ inhalers for various respiratory conditions but what do we really know about them. Most of us don’t remember the name of our puffer, just the colour and when to take it.

This month I’d like to review some

Jumpstart the Swim Continued from page 3

While many people think that spacer’s are a cumbersome item that you don’t really need to use with your puffer, that is incorrect, they serve a very important purpose. When the medication comes out of the puffer it comes out at a speed so fast that if your puffer is sitting in your mouth all that will happen is the medication will hit the back of your throat. When this happens, you get very little benefit from the puffer. A spacer is designed so slow the particle speed down and allow it to diffuse down your airway, directing the medication to wear it should hit to be beneficial. While they are some coordination tactics that can be used in place of a spacer, the best practice is to use a spacer. These

the owner of the store was holding court. He mentioned how he and a couple of buddies were starting an open water swim group in Port Dover. Chris’s sister called him and the next day Chris was ready to hit the open water with Scot Brockbank, John Rolf and Wayne Boswell.

It turned out that Chris knew Wayne. It wasn’t long before the group was looking for an open water challenge and it was decided they would swim from Pottahawk to Turkey Point in late summer. Chris’s strength as an open water swimmer was dominant in the group; he just seemed to have another gear.

The swimming group grew from year to year and with that so did the friendships, an unspoken bond formed, each swimmer always aware of his own skills and those around him or her. If you look at the crew from last year’s big swim, you see a lot of open water swimmers, paddlers and boaters who have shared in the Pottahawk experience. The group has become that close knit family of friends always helping one another.

Like I said earlier when the call went out for crew the usual suspects were there ready for the next mission.

The why of this swim is an interesting one…

Chris has had the vision of swimming from Long Point to Port Dover for some time. His goal is twofold: to raise awareness of the importance of swimming as a life skill by promoting water safety, and to raise funds for Canadian Tire Jumpstart, which in turn will help provide financial support for local kids in sports, one of the main sports being swimming. According to their site, jumpstart.canadiantire.ca, Canadian Tire Jumpstart is a national charitable program that helps financially disadvantaged kids participate in organized sport and recreation.

We help cover registration, equipment and/or transportation costs.

We have an extensive, national network of 332 local chapters. Chapter members are volunteers who are committed to helping get kids active and healthy. They work in partnership with other local non-profit organizations to discreetly identify kids with the greatest need in their community. Canadian Tire Jumpstart then covers registration, equipment and/or transportation costs to help them participate in a sport or recreational activity of their choice.

We also lend support to unique initiatives aimed at increasing access to sport and recreation programs.

Since our launch in 2005, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has given more than 540,000 kids across Canada the chance to play.

The date that has been set for the swim is July 20th, 2013 (weather permitting), with an early morning start. Lisa Anderson, who has always wanted to do a long distance open water swim in Lake Erie, will join Chris on the swim. Lisa is a highly qualified swimming coach with the Norfolk Hammerhead Swim Team in Simcoe, and

Tip #2 – Use your inhalers as directed Your doctor has prescribed your inhalers for you based on your needs and how he/she fills they will best benefit you and it is important you use them this way. There are many different types/groups of inhalers, one of which being a long acting type. These inhalers are designed to be a “maintenance” or “long acting” style medication and need to be used regularly to build up in your system. If your doctor has prescribed one of these types, which are to be used 1-4 times a day (depending on the inhaler), every day, you need to use as directed, in order to feel a full benefit. With this type of inhaler it is important to remember you might not feel an immediate improvement in your

she coached Annaleise Carr to her successful swim across Lake Ontario last August. That's where Chris and Lisa met while they were preparing for that swim. They discovered they had lots in common, including of course, a love of swimming. He and Lisa have both been training over the winter at the Wayne Gretzky Centre and continue to train, waiting for the open water season to begin.

The commitment Chris has undertaken for this swim is the pinnacle of his swimming career to this point. The sheer focus to want to help kids in the swimming realm is very refreshing

symptoms as they are long acting and need time to work. The other common groups of inhalers are fasting acting or “reliever” type.

With a fast acting inhaler, they are designed to alleviate symptoms immediately, within a couple minutes. These inhalers will likely be prescribed for up to a maximum number of doses as needed per day.

and a fitting way to honour his family and their swimming background. I cannot think of a better person to lead this charge.

orfolk Nature otes

By MARG WERDEN Grandparents, kids and nature: a grand connection

Despite the cooler temperatures this week, the calendar tells me that spring is here and that summer is sure to follow. Although enjoying nature in winter is more than possible, I will admit that it is more pleasurable in the warmer months. As well, there are just so many more things to learn about at this time of year.

My love of nature was instilled in me by my father, Otto Roesch, who was a great proponent of letting nature take its course on the land he owned north of Port Ryerse.

What started as a barren piece of farmland in the 1950s is now a densely forested, albeit small, oasis of refuge for dozens of species of wildlife.

Although my father passed away almost 30 years ago, before he died, he managed to also pass his love of nature on to his oldest grandchild, my daughter, Lisa. One of my favourite photos of the two of them together shows them sitting at a window in my parents’ house watching a Black-capped Chickadee feeding on a small sack, full of sunflower seeds, hung outside the window. I like to think that this early influence in her life led Lisa to what she is today: Interpretation Co-ordinator at Thousand Islands National Park, passing on her love and knowledge of nature to the people who visit one of Canada’s many great parks.

I recently read an article by Richard Louw, Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus of the Children & Nature Network, an organization supporting the international movement to connect children, their families and their communities to the natural world.

The article is titled “GRAND IDEAS! 21 Great Ways Grandparents and Grandfriends Can Connect Kids to Nature.” (And these ideas work as well for parents as grandparents, but often parents don’t have as much time to spend on these kinds of things as grandparents do, something that is very unfortunate.

Studies have shown that spending time close to nature provides a number of benefits to our health and well-being, so parents could benefit as much from the experience as their kids.)

The first thing to remember when going into the great outdoors with a child is to keep the activity age appropriate. Don’t expect a threeyear-old to sit quietly for hours waiting for a duck to land on the pond. Go to where the ducks already are and take some food to feed them.

This in itself is a great opportunity to teach kids about the eating habits of waterfowl: are they dippers or divers, what do they eat, what is bad for them, etc. (And, by the way, bread-type food is very bad for them since it has little nutritional value, and can harm ducklings’ growth, pollute waterways and attract rodents and other pests.

Good alternatives include wheat, barley or similar grains, cracked corn, oats (uncooked; rolled or quick), rice (cooked or uncooked), birdseed (any type or mix), grapes (cut in half), frozen peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook), earthworms, mealworms (fresh or dried), chopped lettuce or other greens or salad mixes, or chopped vegetable trimmings or peels – just look in your compost bucket!)

Other simple activities that very young children will enjoy include turning over rocks and logs to see what is living under them, picking up stones and examining them, and looking for different colours in nature. It doesn’t need to be complicated! As the kids get older, the activities can become more involved and require more time and effort.

One of my favourite ideas in Louw’s article is “pack a GO bag.” Instead of wasting precious time finding the binoculars, magnifying glass, notebooks, pencils, compass, field guides, insect repellent, water

us do not include video games and television; they will be outdoors learning about as many of the exciting and wondrous aspects of the natural world that I can manage to show them. Not only will it help connect them to the world around them, it will keep me outdoors doing what I also love doing most: observing nature.
