100

Mile Runners!

By Dave Scott We had the opportunity to both watch and participate in the Sulphur Springs Trail Run on Saturday, which was held in Ancaster.

This run was a little different for me. I was part of an eight-person relay team in which each person ran 20 km. When you add up all those kilometres, it turns into 100 miles (160 km). Terry, our first runner started out at 6 am and when my turn came it was 7 pm… six of our runners had gone before me… and I was chomping at the bit when my turn came.

You ask what got me so fired up and ready to go? I think it was the environment of the whole race day.

You see, there wasn’t just a relay; there were also individual races…

10 km, 25 km, 50 km, 50 mile, and the granddaddy of them all, the 100 mile race.

As Monica ran up the last hill and rounded the corner coming into the home stretch, I could see her big, happy, smile… I knew then the course would be a fun one and I would enjoy it… she crossed the line and passed me the bib (she had just completed her longest run to date, congrats!) and off I went for a run in the woods.

Any reproduction of this publication without permission is prohibited. Opinions and comments within this publication are those of the writers and not necessarily that of the Norfolk Hub.

The course had it all… hills galore, single track, road, gravel, dirt, stumps, loose rock, and even a little mud thrown in for good measure (got to get those shoes a little dirty!). With all these surface types to run on, just add hills of every type, big, small, steep inclines, long and winding… and every time you went up, the next thing you knew you were running down one just as steep. Having a good grip was crucial and constantly monitoring the ground just in front of you was a must… I loved it! Even when I took a nice little tumble… most likely when I was getting full of myself thinking, I’ve got this trail figured… ha-ha, joke was on me, as I lay on the side of the hill laughing at myself, before wiping the dirt away and running on.

I have to tell you the most incredible part of the run was seeing the 100 mile runners out there. These folks are simply at a whole other dimension in running… they would run the 20 km loop I was doing eight times… EIGHT TIMES… that’s right, I said, EIGHT TIMES! This course was hard enough to do once, as my calves will attest (for me, it was at about 17 km they began to scream at me). The constant running up and down the hills took its toll and your legs

felt it. The 100 milers would do this tough loop eight times. Not to mention the roughly 600-700 metre hill at the end of each loop… but they continued on!

My goal was to finish as quickly as possible so our last runner, Scot, would not have to run in the darkness for too long. Oh, I may have forgotten to mention that some of these 100 milers will be running all night (we would later see headlamps dance in the dark watching them coming through).

Usually the 100 milers pair up and run together, just to make it easier. The run is tough enough in daylight… I cannot imagine doing it in the dark!

My son joined me as I climbed the last hill. As I ran the chute, I realized how much I had come to appreciate these 100 mile legends.

They are unique and every time I saw one out on the course as I ran, I gave them the thumbs up (I was out

of breath, it was all I could do). For some of the 100 milers, you could see the soreness in their feet, the tightness in their calves, the sheer look of exhaustion of already being out there 14 hours… others looked like they were as fresh as when they started, chatting, smiling and focused… I asked myself, How do they do it?

With my run completed I passed the bib on to Scot and watched as he disappeared into what may have been about 40 min of remaining daylight. Our team, Scrambled Legs, had been on the course since 6 am that day. Terry was first, followed

by Payden, Bianca, Christine, Tim, Monica, myself, then Scot, all of us had done our best and each time one of us finished we shared what we could about the trail course.

As we waited for Scot to finish I looked around at the little tent city

n the Water

By Dave Scott It seems like every year I have to let you, the readers, know when my first paddle takes place.

This year is no different and when I did finally get back out on the water, it was perfect.

Some of Monica’s family was over, so we all hopped in the kayaks and headed out into the blue, inviting

Jumpstart. She ended up giving the balls to a couple of young children in the store. She said the good karma repaid her a few days later when Wendy Inglis, from Canadian Tire called to say she was the winner of the new gazebo.

Next up was Percy McNabb, president of the Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show (NCF). He proudly presented Canadian Tire with a $1000 cheque for Jumpstart.

The money was raised at this year’s Eat and Drink Norfolk, which Canadian Tire Simcoe had donated a barbeque and gazebo as prizes. In

return the NCF made a donation to Jumpstart every time a glass was returned during the evening while Eat and Drink Norfolk was going on.

A win-win situation for everyone, with Jumpstart benefiting in the end!

Awesome Job!

water off of Port Ryerse.

As I put on my life jacket, I was surprised at how excited I was... I just could not wait... I slipped into my old white water kayak, grabbed my gnarly old paddle, reached back to make sure my drain plug was in, then slid my hands into the crisp clear water and pushed gently away from shore... two paddle strokes later, that relaxed, Welcome back...

Where have you been? feeling came over me... I stopped for a moment

just a few feet off shore and it felt like the weight of the world had left my shoulders... I was back where I belonged, on the water... I guess it is just in my heritage, my dad was a fisherman, his dad a diver, my great grandfather a fisherman. I don’t really understand it, I just know for some reason the connection to these men comes alive every spring when I take to the water...

I look out off my bow and see my kids paddling away. I wonder if

they feel the connection too. Are they too young to know? Do they or will they ever sense their heritage around them as they play amongst the waves... I do not know... I do know they enjoy it.... and for now that is all that matters You know I can have the worst day... and the pull of the water beneath my paddle washes it all away. I wish we could all be so lucky... to enjoy life.

100 Mile Runners Continued from page 2 that had formed around the start and finish line. It was cool to see all these runners… their social running circles mingling and enjoying the day and evening together. There is that common bond among all runners; it just seems a little tighter among the trail runners. Then again when you are sharing a 100 mile run, you do get to know one another pretty good I guess.

As we sat relaxing, we suddenly heard that the first 100 miler was coming up the hill to finish his eighth loop and complete his journey which started over 15 hours ago… I marvelled that this one individual had just beaten our whole team… unbelievable!

The crowd stood and cheered as Dale Draaistra, from Brantford entered the chute. He ran in like it was nothing, relaxed, focused and smiling. I waited for him to collapse from exhaustion, but he simple walked away from the finish line hugging family and friends shaking hands with his many admirers (of which I was one), posing for photos and then carrying on his merry way. I just could not wrap my head around it… How? It wasn’t long after, as we waited back at the hill, that we saw the distinct running motion, lights bobbing of our relay anchor, Scot coming up the hill. Our lamps shining on him, he too had that crazy smile on his face (like most of us had all day as we came to the finish line). We cheered for our teammate as he crossed the finish line thus officially completing the race for the Scrambled Legs

NORFOLK HUB, May 28, 2013 page 5 team from Dover (their first 100 mile relay).

We enjoyed a beverage and chatted about what it was like for Scot to run the course, not only for his first time, but also in the dark… his eyes widened and his voice rose and fell like the hills he had just run. He talked about always looking down at the step in front of him, never really knowing if he was going up a big or small hill. He liked that part, never really seeing the climb in front of him… just constantly looking for the roots sticking out of the ground… we all agreed we may have to return again and share the experience with other teammates.

I kind of felt for Scot, on one hand he had such a unique challenging experience, tackling a tough course surrounded by darkness; but on the other hand, he was not able to experience such a beautiful forest and ponds that the rest of us got to enjoy on our runs.

We packed up our gear and headed out, it was well past 11 pm and by the time we arrived home it was closer to 12:30 am. As my head hit the pillow, heating pad on, I thought, Wow, folks are still out there running for another twelve hours.

Those crazy 100 mile runners!

I wanted to give a special thanks to Charlie, our coach, cheerleader and mentor, who hung out with us on race day. Charlie has completed the 100 mile race numerous times in the past and his advice was always welcome and greatly appreciated.

Congrats to fellow North Shore Runner, Neil, who completed the 25 km trail race at Sulphur Springs as well.

Discovering Birds in Norfolk with George & Vic Pileated Woodpecker

By George Pond David Karnes, a friend of Vic Gibbons and an avid photographer found this Pileated Woodpecker at a nest hole in one of Norfolk’s large woodlots. He got a great photograph of this crow sized bird, the largest woodpecker found in North America, and kindly allowed Vic to use it as a model for this stunning painting. Vic has certainly captured the awesome size of these magnificent birds.

Pileated Woodpeckers prefer dense, mature forests. They are uncommon, year round residents of Norfolk County. They can be found in Backus Woods, the St. William’s forest and most of the larger forests of western Norfolk.

Their loud resonant territorial drumming sound echoes throughout the woods, but the birds are only occasionally seen. They eat ants and beetles that live in dead and dying trees. When walking in the woods look for the large rectangular or oval holes that they drill in search of food or building a nest cavity. The chips at the tree base are often as big as a fist. A pair nest in the dense Cedar Street swamp, part of the Simcoe Waterworks property and we have recorded them on several Woodhouse Christmas bird counts. In fact a few months ago one of these birds landed for a minute or two on a stump in our back yard. We live on # 3 Highway a few hundred yards from Cedar Street.

Pileated Woodpeckers can be found throughout eastern Canada and the U.S. right to the tip of Florida. They are more common in the southeast than here in Norfolk. We had been birding for several years before Shirley saw her first Pileated Woodpecker. I hope that you get to see one soon.

ai Chi: Senior

Style

By Max Lopes Simcoe Composite School Student On Tuesday, March 26th, 2013, I went down to the Senior Centre, down by the Young Players Theatre on 89 Pond Street, to talk to their Tai Chi instructor about why senior citizens in the home, love it so much. “Senior citizens use it to help improve their memory; it’s a great way to work on their cardio, a great way to build upper body strength, mainly in the spine” commented Rick Eller, Senior Centre Tai Chi instructor.

Rick has been teaching the seniors tai chi, for about nine years, helping them get some exercise. Their usual routine was that they do two sets of Tai Chi moves, and then they would practice a new move. After that, they would have a tea break, and they start to learn three new moves, which then would be combined with all of the sets of moves, to make a chain of moves, so that the flow would be natural to them. I had asked him who was Master Moy Lin Shin, he said, “He was this Taoist monk, who had this illness and was sent to a monastery, to live there for the rest of his life. During his time there, he learned a few martial arts, including Tai Chi, at the Hua Shan School of Taoism, and he eventually got better due to his training.” He moved to Canada around the 70’s, he used his teachings of Tai Chi, modified them, to focus on the health aspects, instead of the martial arts side of it. Since he was taught the ways of Tai Chi, he had lived by the Eight Heavenly Virtues; which focus on Confucianism. The Virtues can be taught to someone who wants to be a volunteer instructor, or to someone who desires to teach it. The Virtues are Sense of Shame, Filial Piety, Sibling Harmony, Dedication, Trustworthiness, Propriety, Sacrifice, and Honour.

Rick had demonstrated to me, the motions of Tai Chi, by twisting his hand a quarter of the way, but slowly. By doing that motion with his hand, he has shown me the way and the direction of how the spine would move during a session of Tai Chi. I had asked him what age group is best suited for this activity, and he

T

said “People of any age can learn Tai Chi; little kids can learn the fastest, since their minds are still developing, they can take in information a lot better.” Seniors learn Tai Chi for a different reason; they learn it to improve on their body, because of their aging bodies, they can start to ache in certain parts. Tai Chi is used to help relieve all of that tension and pain around the body, and this works great for people who have a lot of aches, pains, arthritis, and other body illnesses. He also said that the slow movements are necessary for Tai Chi, since it’s a safe martial art, and it teaches you how to control your body, by moving it very slowly. It can even help seniors with back problems, sore muscles, and even arthritis.

Rick said that there was an older woman who had two artificial hips, and an artificial knee, who had to use a cane to walk around with. She took those Tai Chi lessons every day, and she didn’t need that cane anymore; I found that inspiring.

Even people that are disabled from the waist down can learn Tai Chi; people in wheelchairs use it to increase upper body movement.

wo Quick Alternatives to Business Cards

By Stu McLaren

Recently, I was speaking at a seminar on the subject of building online communities and membership sites. Following my presentation, many people wanted to connect and discuss my presentation, their ideas, and get feedback and suggestions for their own membership sites.

I enjoy speaking to people about membership sites, but I always find the networking side of these events “awkward”.

People want to stay in touch, but they don’t know the best way to do that. That eventually leads to a business card exchange but the reality is, very few people ever really make an effort after that.

Business cards have been used for years but there are many more creative ways to stay connected and have a lasting impression.

Here are two quick alternatives you can use the next time you want to further the relationship:

1) Postcard With Picture

If you happen to get the person’s mailing address, then consider sending them a personal postcard with a picture from the event or place you met. The most effective postcard will be one containing a picture of you and the person you are connecting with. When they see their picture on the front of a

postcard, you’re almost guaranteed they will read the message on the back.

There is a great iPhone app called “Postcard On The Run” which allows you to take a picture using your iPhone and then immediately create a postcard that you could send to the person you just met.

All you need to do is top up your account and the service will turn your picture into a postcard and mail it to the address you specify.

It’s fast, it’s easy, and the best time to send the postcard is within a few hours after taking the picture. It will have a much more dramatic effect if the postcard arrives shortly after the person returns from their trip – so do it right away before you forget.

Another good service for sending personal pictures with postcards, is a service called Send Out Cards.

It too makes the process of sending cards easy.

Either way this is a very effective method for reconnecting with people you meet at different events.

2) Facebook or Twitter

Another option to business cards is through Facebook or Twitter.

However, the best way to connect with people on Facebook or Twitter is to share a few things you appreciate about the person you just met.

I had a chance to talk to one of the seniors there, and we had a chat about how Tai Chi would help a senior to make their body motions feel more fluid.

“I had to use a walker to move around,” said Betty, one of the seniors, “I took a ten minute session of Tai Chi, and it was alright. Eventually, I took Tai Chi for about six years and now I don’t need a walker to move around anymore.”

I had a chance to talk to Terry Hickman, a senior who also teaches the seniors there, by doing Tai Chi. “It helps keep the rust out,” comments Terry Hickman. “Tai Chi is very helpful to the seniors around here, even seniors who have serious conditions, can feel better by doing some Tai Chi.” The Tai Chi classes are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting at 9 am, and ending around 9:30 am, so they are very short classes to look forward to, but they do teach a lot of moves in a short amount of time. You can contact Terry Hickman, or Rick Eller, at the Simcoe Senior Centre, by calling (519) 428-0888, to learn more about Tai Chi there.

Everybody, enjoys hearing good things about themselves… especially in a public forum like Facebook or Twitter.

One very effective strategy that someone (Andy Traub) used with me at BlogWorld was to take a picture of me delivering my presentation. In this particular situation, Andy used an iPhone app called “Pano“. This app took a landscape panoramic picture that captured not only me presenting, but the whole audience as well. It would be very difficult to capture this type of picture with a regular camera so it immediately caught my attention.

Andy then followed up, sent me the picture and also posted it on Facebook and Twitter with several positive comments about my presentation. I immediately responded with a thank you and because of this, we have stayed in regular contact and built a friendship.

Conclusion

Staying connected with new people you meet, does not have to be difficult. The key is to be thoughtful.

And the fastest way to emotionally reconnect with the people you meet is to remind them of who you are through pictures and positive comments.

Take responsibility for the development of the relationships you want to build and be proactive.

With smart phones it has never

been easier to create that emotional connection in a short period of time.

Plus, it will separate you from all the other people handing out business cards hoping to hear from the people they’ve given them to.

Concert Being Held to Support Poverty Reduction Intiatives in Haldimand & Norfolk Counties

Poverty continues to be a growing concern in Haldimand and Norfolk Counties. The number of people living in poverty, particularly children living in poverty, is alarming.

A concert will be held on Friday June 7, at the St. James United Church in Simcoe to raise awareness of poverty in our communities. The show will feature award winning singer songwriter Jacob Moon.

He is not only well known for his musical talents but he is also a strong advocate for helping the most vulnerable populations.

Les Anderson, who is organizing the concert, says it’s time for the general community to embrace this issue and do what we can to

reduce poverty.

“There are some very good initiatives being worked on that will assist those living in poverty, but they need community support to be successful. We need our business leaders, our decision makers, and the residents of Haldimand and Norfolk Counties to get involved.”

Anderson says that people would be very surprised at the statistics that show the level of poverty in our communities in the two Counties. “This is not a problem in one community”, he said, “it is prevalent throughout both Haldimand and Norfolk.

The concert will begin at 7:30 pm and tickets can be purchased by calling (519) 436-0305 or by e-mail at povertytoprosperity@bell.net.

orfolk Nature otes

By MARG WERDEN New bird at the feeder

Although I spend a lot of time watching the birds at the feeder and, in the spring, in the trees and shrubs as they pass through on their way north, it’s been a couple of years since something new has shown up. Over the ten plus years we’ve lived here, I think we’ve had most of the more common birds visit us at the feeders. I’m sure I’ve missed quite a few of the common transients that don’t come to feeders, but there is only so much time I can steal away from the “must do’s” of life to go birding. As a result, it’s nice when something new shows up at the feeder while I’m busy making dinner.

When the small, almost nondescript, sparrow started picking away at the seeds, I knew it wasn’t a regular visitor. At first, I believed it was a Chipping Sparrow, but on closer inspection realized it wasn’t quite right. I quickly took a few photos before it flew away and was able to determine that it was a Claycoloured Sparrow. Not completely out of its range, but not one of the more common birds in this area.

David Sibley, author of “The Sibley Field Guide to Birds,” explains one of the differences between a Chipping and a Clay-coloured Sparrow: The Chipping Sparrow has very distinct, narrow whitish arcs below

The Clay-coloured Sparrow is one of the less common birds to visit this area, which is at the eastern end of their range.

Their usual summer home is on the prairies of the northern Midwestern States and Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. and above the eye, contrasting with darker gray-brown feathers, and broken at front and back by the dark eyeline. On Clay-coloured Sparrows there are pale feathers all the way around the eye, and these blend into just slightly darker feathers, not contrasting at all above the eye (just a broad pale eyebrow stripe).

And there is only a very weak dark eyeline breaking the eye ring behind the eye.

The Clay-coloured Sparrow has buff-gray underparts, a brown rump, streaked wings with two white wing-bars, a clear, gray band that runs across the nape of the neck, a white stripe over its eye, dark cheeks lined with a distinctive black moustache, and a white throat-patch with dark bars dividing the patch into three segments.

The usual summer habitat of the Clay-coloured Sparrow is northernprairie brushland, open grassland or forest edges. The Clay-coloured Sparrow has a buzzy, insect-like song that I’ve been hearing quite often in the field just beyond our lawn. Although mainly a seed eater, young birds like to eat insects in the summer.

Males usually arrive at the breeding grounds a few days before the females return. The males sing to

attract females and once they form a bond, they remain monogamous through the breeding season.

Nests, a cup made of grass, weeds, twigs, rootlets, and hair, are built on the ground or in a low shrub, no more than five feet above the ground. Although females do most of the incubation of the clutch of four eggs, males occasionally help out. After the young hatch, both parents feed them and then after only seven to nine days, the young hop to the ground and immediately run for cover. The adults continue to feed the young for another week, at which time they can fly and find their own food.

Clay-coloured Sparrows have two distinct ranges during the summer and winter. Their summer range extends from the northern Midwest states to northern Alberta. They usually migrate in flocks over the Great Plains to southern Texas and Mexico for the winter. Although this bird is one of the most numerous low-shrub songbirds of the northern prairies, there has been a small, but significant decline in breeding populations over the past 20 years.
