Tree Swallows

Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America.

They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight. Tree Swallows nest in tree cavities; they also readily take up residence in nest boxes.

McHappy Day ~By Dave Scott

We were able to snag OPP Auxiliary Officer, Brad Wiersma away who had been busy all morning assisting in the drivethru area. Brad said it was incredible to watch the McDonald’s team in action and see just how many customers they serve and how the whole operation runs so smoothly!

Brad was more than happy to volunteer and help out. He understands the importance of the day to the community!

Storeowner, Gord Maskell, was thrilled with the wonderful turnout again this year and Manager Patti Sullivan explained that the funds raised locally on McHappy Day are split between Ronald McDonald House and our local Special Olympics.

Thanks to all who chipped in and helped out from the staff, to the volunteers, to you the donor… thank you for making McHappy Day another huge success for Norfolk!

Understanding ~By Dave Scott

Y

ou know those days when you are ill and you just cannot drag yourself out of bed? You are tired, you ache all over and your mind is

swirling. Nothing feels right and you know you just need to go see the doctor, get a prescription and get back to the grind.

I’m sure that we have all been there at some point!

I have recently met a couple of folks and when we sat down and chatted, our conversations were about everything mentioned above. How every so often you feel like the world is closing in on you. I would like to share their stories with you.

George

First up is George, a retired government worker who lives in the Simcoe area with his wife and their dog.

George is the type of guy who likes to get outdoors and walk his dog a few times everyday. Physical fitness is important in keeping his health positive.

George and I talked about his early years growing up in the big city of Toronto with his older brother, younger sister and their mom. George told me his dad passed away when he was just eleven. He recounted being small for his age and being bullied a lot at school because of his size.

It wasn’t much fun and he admitted it probably caused him to shy away from many things in his youth. He remembered a time when a boy said something nasty about his mother and he exploded with anger, letting the other boy have it.

Life continued on, as did the bullying. When high school finished, George headed into the workforce with AllCompany BC_Business Card 2015-05-28 a new look at life and a new opportunity. Unfortunately it wasn’t long before a co-worker began tormenting him. It was just like school all over again! Years began to slip past and the bullying took its toll and George began to miss work, not feeling up to going, avoiding his tormentor; any excuse would do. It was slowly eating him up, he felt as though something was locked away inside of him; a monster, something Great Lakes he couldn’t explain, something he could not let out. He feared what he would Physiotherapy do if he let it out! It was a dark haunting place for him.

And Sports Medicine Work was replaced by simply sitting in a room watching TV. His daily functions all but disappeared. He did not want to see the outside world or for it to see him.

The spiral continued and his family worried about him. Days turned to weeks, then months, then years. George wondered if life was worth living.

Thoughts of suicide were growing and George realized he needed help. He saw doctors and psychiatrists. He was in and out of psychiatric wards and tried different medications. His wife had left him. He still loved her and she him, but this thing locked away inside him was stealing all that was precious to him. George wanted his life back! Finally after years of dead ends, he had a diagnosis and he could begin to rebuild his life. You see George has been 519-410-7775 fighting a bipolar disorder with a borderline personality disorder.

17 Talbot St. N., “Bipolar disorder Mood disorders are conditions that cause people to feel intense, Simcoe, On N3Y 3W5 prolonged emotions that negatively affect their mental well-being, physical health, P: 519-429-3678 • F: 519-429-3405 relationships and behaviour.

a decreased need for sleep; increased irritability; impulsiveness and possibly reckless behaviour.” www.cmha.ca “Personality disorders involve patterns of behaviour, mood, social interaction, and impulsiveness that cause distress to one experiencing them, as well as to other people in their lives.

Many of these behaviours may cause severe disturbance in the individual’s personal and work life. In general, individuals with personality disorders have difficulty with close, intimate or attachment relationships. They experience chronic interpersonal problems, have difficulties in establishing a coherent sense of self or identity, and may be seen to be impulsive, irritable, fearful, demanding, hostile, manipulative, even violent.” www.cmha.bc.ca George began treatment and was properly medicated.

Life slowly began to turn around and there was light at the end of the tunnel. He started to feel better. He hooked up with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and a Case Manager. He and his wife reconciled and well the smile returned to George’s face. He understood what he needed to do and he saw that CMHA and others cared about him as a person.

George credits his ongoing success to his Case Manager at CMHA. It helps just having someone to talk to as he continues taking steps in the right direction. George doesn’t get too far ahead of himself, and focuses on one day at a time!

Jill

The days of our youth are for the most part filled with joy! Our friends

at school, family and social outings are all meant to develop our self-confidence within our community; a starting point in our young lives. To understand others we need to recognize that we are all different and accept folks for who they are.

The other side that sometimes happens is that kids’ lives get turned upside down. Name calling by other children occurs, perhaps to the point where it causes self-esteem issues and beyond!

Jill is also a CMHA client who explained to me that in school a boy persistently called her zit-head. At first she brushed it off realizing this was just a mean person, but the name-calling persisted over the years and the emotional scars were formed.

She avoided at times, even confronted her abuser in a burst of anger, but it continued…

LONG RUN Round and Round We Go - Part One IN THE

~ By Charlie Upshall

I

asked Corina, “In your wildest dreams, did you ever think we’d be running in a 72 hour race together?”

She replied, “Charlie, you’re not even in my wildest dreams.”

It was a cool, beautiful morning as the 72 hour “3 Days at the Fair” race in Augusta, New Jersey began on Thursday, May 14.

We had a healthy respect for the magnitude of the task ahead and felt that we were well prepared. It turned out that, in most ways, we were, but the challenges presented and the effort required was in the end greater than anticipated.

The course was a certified one mile loop around the State Fairgrounds. It was mostly asphalt, with short sections of interlocking stone and dirt trail. The main features were one long, gentle decline and a corresponding long incline. Near the timing mat and race aid station was a computer screen where lap totals and position could be checked.

Corina and I ran the first two miles easily together as planned and then separated to follow different patterns of running, walking, resting and administering to the various situations that cropped up. We had a crew of Sandy Miller, Christine Zammit-Agnew, Greg Stewart and Bianca Anghel Bachmann who had generously taken time from their busy lives to support us. I had every confidence in their abilities but little did I know how amazing they would actually be and have to be in order to get us to our goals. They dedicated themselves to innumerable planned, as well as unforeseen, circumstances throughout, foregoing personal comfort and sleep to be there for us. It simply would not have been a successful venture without them.

In fact, the contributions and sacrifices of our crew will be my most enduring memory. In every way it was a team effort. They made me very proud.

My Day 1 strategy was quite straightforward. I would jog for 25 minutes, then walk for 5 minutes from the 9:00 a.m. start until 9:00 p.m. After a massage and dinner break, I would jog 1 mile followed by 3 minutes of walking and maintain that pattern until 3:00 a.m. Then I would take a shower and sleep until 6:30 a.m. After a little breakfast, I would walk until 9:00 a.m., the end of Day 1. That pattern would yield 72 miles or 116 km. Throughout the day I met and chatted with various runners. Corina did the same. Some people wanted to know if she was related to Randy Bachman and one even wanted to know if Corina was her real name! I followed my plan relatively well, with a couple of added massage breaks and shoe changes.

The shower, which was supposed to be a treat turned out to be a bit problematic. General stiffness made getting in and out of my clothes difficult. There was nowhere to hang anything or set anything other than on a wet and dirty floor. I lay down to sleep but found myself tossing and turning, with various aches.

Realizing I was not going to fall asleep, in about 20 minutes I decided to get up and walk through the rest of the night. There were fewer competitors on the course at this time and I found it very peaceful. The 116 km were completed before day’s end.

Meanwhile, Corina was also doing well. She was moving faster than I was, but was taking more short breaks for clothing changes, rest and foot care. At the end of Day 1 we had similar mileages. Her position in the women’s field was varying from fifth up to as high as second.

The crew’s main responsibility during this early part of the race consisted of keeping us well fed and hydrated. Someone was there every lap to give us nourishment. During the daylight hours I relied on gels, my electrolyte drink and

Danette Storey (left) and Deb Pressey of Clark’s Pharmasave

Live well with Pharmasave

“Cancer changes everything,” was a phrase that Danette Storey used when we met up last month and it stuck with me! Danette has been an employee of Clark’s Pharmasave in Simcoe since 1977. She has a wealth of experience in the healthcare industry and puts it to good use helping the Cancer Support Resource Program of Norfolk (CSRP) with their New Day New Me event for cancer survivors.

I was at the Florian Clinic in Simcoe at the time gathering information on New Day New Me. That is when I realized Danette was a cancer survivor herself along with Deb Pressey, another volunteer and Pharmasave co-worker.

Suddenly, it all made sense that Pharmasave has been involved for the past seven years (twice a year) with the CSRP and the Florian Clinic to hold New Day New Me. Besides donating products the ladies from Pharmasave provide those attending with a free make up session, along with a facial, manicure, pedicure, plus lunch - all of which is free!

I was very impressed with the dedication of the volunteers to make the day special for women who have been battling cancer. With a special thanks to Brendalee Engelhardt and staff from the Florian Clinic!

It is easy to see how friendships are formed for both the volunteers and the participants. They all share that common bond from fighting cancer and find comfort within the group, talking about what it is they have faced. They can relate to each other on a level that those of us who have not faced the disease could never understand!

Tara Harris who was taking part in the day said she was enjoying the treatment at the spa. Tara who had cancer surgery just before Christmas explained that she sees life a little different these days. Now if she sees something she wants to do, she does it!

Mulch: That Final Touch!

M

ulching is one of the simplest and most beneficial practices you can do for your garden. Just by simply placing a protective

layer of material over the bare soil you will achieve: 1. Erosion control 2. A reduction in compaction.

3. The conservation of soil moisture thus reducing watering.

4. A more even soil temperature.

5. Prevention of weed growth.

6. Keeping your fruits & vegetables cleaner.

7. Also keeps your feet clean as you can tread in your garden after a rainfall.

8. A finished look to your garden.

Mulches can either be organic - such as wood chips, straw, bark shreds, newspapers or grass clippings, where as inorganic materials could include stones, brick chips and plastic sheeting.

An organic mulch will benefit the soil as it decomposes providing the much needed organic matter which improves root growth, the infiltration of water and the nutrient-holding capacity of the soil.

Compost itself makes a wonderful mulch itself while if suppresses the weed growth it improves the soil structure and it is an excellent source of plant nutrients while providing a home for the very important soil organisms.

Big SplaSh

By Dave Zeldon

Some Other Points To Consider: The ground warms more slowly in the spring, so perennials aren't fooled into breaking dormancy too early. You want the ground to stay cold until it really is spring.

Water evaporates more slowly from cool soil protected from the wind. If you mulch, you don't have to water as much, which saves time, money, and a precious resource.

Raindrops don't hit the soil surface, so soil is less likely to wash away or splash onto plants. This keeps plants cleaner and free of some soil-dwelling diseases.

The sounds of birds just add to the pleasure of the experience and they dim any interruptions of motors or brakes.

Moving at this time is so much easier for seniors. There are no coats, scarves, hats or mittens and ones feet feel ten pounds lighter without those boots! The sidewalks are bare and dry and the lovely green that blankets the lawns just seems to add to the warmth of the walk!

It seems that for this ‘special walk’ everything around is tuned to the senior for a reflective time that will bring a pensive smile. The thoughts can become quite philosophical as one stops at the curb and carefully crosses the street. The thoughts can be of any time - past, present

I have to tell you I was so impressed that Jill and George would share their stories with the Hub. I saw two folks who only wanted to figure out what their problem was, address it and get back to living.

Mental illness has a reputation as a weak person disease, but after sitting and listening to these two folks, there is nothing further from the truth. Think about the hardest thing mentally you ever had to do, working through a problem or issue; may it be work or your personal life. Now times that by ten and deal with it every day of your life. George and Jill do that all the time. They are brave and strong beyond what the rest of us can ever comprehend.

And there it is, what we can’t understand we dismiss. Well we need to educate ourselves about mental health and be supportive. It is estimated that one in four Canadians will deal with a mental health issue in their lifetime.

George and Jill both smile a lot more now, life has more positive days and they both see hope and joy in their futures. They acknowledge that CMHA has played a large part in opening doors to their recovery and helping to cope with the past.

I would like to clarify that the bullying was by no means the sole factor in George or Jill’s situations, but I do think that it may have somehow played a small part in the bigger picture. In both cases it was an early memory in their lives, which they believe had an effect.

I want to thank Joanne at CMHA for all her help and give a plug to a cool event that the community can get involved in…

SUN CARE

Brought to you by Dover Apothecary, A Family Health Care Pharmacy (FHCP)

hat do wrinkles, age spots and skin cancer have in common? They’re all caused by sun

damage.

From your first sunburn at the beach to your recent midday walk in the park, sun exposure is cumulative, adding up to a lot of incidental exposure over the course of a lifetime. But there is much you can do to protect yourself.

Sun tanning lost its golden glow among health care experts decades ago. Yet despite clear evidence linking UV rays to premature aging and skin cancer, Canadians are spending more time in the sun without adequate protection.

Some will literally die of their wish to get a nice tan. Here are some sobering facts: • In 2014, an estimated 82,600 Canadians developed skin cancer.

Of those, 6,500 of these cases were melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

• While many cancers have been on the decline in recent years, melanoma rates have been on the rise. Rates shot up 800 percent over the past 4 decades, making it the most common cancer among women ages 25 to 29 today.

• Rates of squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas have risen 700 and 100 percent, respectively, among women under 40.

Of particular concern is the increasing number of young women going to tanning salons. But tanning indoors is not safer than tanning outside in the sun. In fact, it may be even more dangerous since artificial UV rays from tanning salons are typically much more intense than UV rays from the sun.

Some tanning beds release up to 5 times more radiation than the sun. This may be partially responsible for the continued increase in melanoma, especially among young women who are the most frequent users of tanning beds.

The good news is that skin cancers are largely preventable.

But changing the way you sunbathe could start with

changing the way you see a suntan.

What is a tan?

A tan is the body’s response to injury from UV rays. When the sun hits your skin, its Michael Marini, B.Sc. Phm. pigment cells produce Pharmacist colour, or melanin. This additional colour helps prevent the rays from penetrating the deeper layers of skin.

While we tend to associate sun damage with beach time, any time spent in the sun can be harmful over the course of a lifetime. That’s because the damage is cumulative, adding up minute by minute, hour by hour. For example, two 30-minute midday walks can be as damaging to your skin as a continuous full hour of sun.

Bottom line? There is no such thing as a safe tan. Tanning harms your skin. But no one can avoid the sun, nor would we ever want to. On the positive side, the sun stimulates the production of vitamin D, regulates sleep cycles and can literally lighten your mood when you’re feeling down.

So be sun savvy. Be diligent about using sunscreen every day, stay out of tanning beds, and get annual skin checks— especially if you have a family history of skin cancer. That way you can enjoy the sun without experiencing its dark side.

How sun ages skin Most of us think a tan makes us more attractive and youthful looking, but there is nothing that will wrinkle your skin faster.

In fact, the sun causes 90 percent of skin aging. Here’s why.

Your skin contains two vital proteins, collagen and elastin, that help maintain its structure and keep it taut and resilient.

When you are constantly exposed to UV rays, these proteins start to break down, and you end up with damaged underlying tissue. Sagging skin, wrinkles, dryness and fine lines are the result of this weakened support structure. Moreover, the deeper your tan is, the drier your skin gets, which makes any lines more visible. And if that weren’t enough, prolonged sun exposure also causes uneven skin tone and liver spots on the hands and face.

Shielding your skin from the sun is the most important thing you can do to ward off wrinkles and age spots. If you have prior sun damage, over-the-counter products such as retinoids and glycolic acids can help smooth out lines and even skin tone. Keep in mind that these products can be harsh on sensitive skin, so be sure to ask your FHCP pharmacist for advice. ►

Basic Guidelines for Safe Sun Be sun smart. Limit your time in the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV rays are at their strongest and most harmful. Always wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater. Keep in mind that a sunscreen can only do so much. If you plan to prolong your time in the sun, cover exposed areas with protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants and a wide-brimmed hat.

If you really want colour, spray on your tan instead.

Don’t give your sunscreen a day off. A cloudy, hazy day is no excuse for not using sunscreen. Up to 80 percent of the sun’s rays can penetrate clouds.

Plus, the sun’s reflection off snow is strong even on cloudy days.

Check-up. Get in the habit of doing regular skin examinations, especially if you’re in a high risk group. Have a full-body skin check by a dermatologist at least once a year. Make sure he or she checks your scalp, eyes and mouth.

Consider Our Fishery Resource

A

cross Ontario, the 2015 bass fishing season will begin on the 27th of June, the fourth Saturday of the month. With our

late weather pattern, like so many of our other spring spawning fish, many of the bass will have only begun or will be actively spawning. The reproduction process is necessary for the perpetuation of the species. Please let the bigger fish, or fish that appear to still have their eggs, go back.

Studies show that 18” to 20” smallmouth bass that live in the Grand River and the Maitland River in southwest Ontario are 18 years old or older. When we tell people they are flabbergasted and cannot comprehend it. Don’t think for a minute that these fish are easy to replace.

These fish are necessary to successfully propagate the smallmouth bass.

Approximately six years ago, Special Fishing Regulations were passed for the Grand River, within the Paris to Brantford reach, which allowed for the release of all game fish within this area. Today, many anglers are reporting catching 20” to 22” smallmouth bass again. This hasn’t been the case over the last few decades. Larry landed a 23.5” smallmouth bass swinging a fly on a two-handed fly rod three years ago. What a trophy smallie!

When special fishing regulations which are designed for specific waters and specific fish are properly used they can be an effective management tool to improve the fishery resource.

Special fishing regulations must be based on2015 sound fisheries science. Special June Norfolk Hub

regulations should be considered when such things as angler harvest prevent the attainment of fish goals. These goals may be based on either biological properties or socio-economic desires. In some cases it could be both.

The use of fish sanctuaries are also there for specific reasons. If we examine the sanctuary located within Inner Long Point Bay, Lake Erie, it was created to protect spawning bass, both largemouth and smallmouth. If a bass is removed from the nest it will not return. This then allows predatory fish, such as sunfish, to eat the young bass.

Anglers have become more efficient due to angler education, more effective equipment, and more leisure time spent fishing. This has resulted in a decline in the quality of fishing.

Many of our fisheries have changed because of the combined effects of habitat alterations, angler exploitation and nonnative species introductions, as well as many other factors.

Angler education is a priority. If anglers are not made aware of the reasons for special fishing regulations, there is a great deal of hostility and negativism directed towards these regulations. Any positive outcomes must be passed onto the angling community as well.

Below are the guidelines and definitions of daily catch limit and possession limit for the Province of Ontario.

Catch Limit The number of fish you can catch and

keep in a day. It includes: • Fish you don’t release right away • Fish you eat • Fish you give away Your daily catch limit counts towards your possession limit.

Possession Limit The total number of a species of fish that you have in your possession at any time. It includes fish caught today and in the past, whether they are: • Freshly landed • In your car or boat • In your cooler • At home in your fridge or freezer Your possession limit does not include fish you have: • Eaten • Given away Unless stated otherwise in the fishing regulations summary, the catch limit and the possession limit are the same.

Many, many years ago, Al Linder, and the In-Fishermen staff, coined the phrase, “SELECTIVE HARVEST”. This is a valuable tool to protect the fish that are most vulnerable to over-harvesting. As an angler you have to start to think about and understand the fish and the body of water that you fish. Selective Harvest means understanding that if you are fishing and there are lots of little fish but no big fish - release the big fish and retain the smaller ones. It could be the reverse situation as well.

Practice what you will, “Catch and Release or Selective Harvest”, but, please ensure the future of our fisheries.

Healthy on the Go

S

ummer is usually the busiest time of the year for most people. With sports going on, school finishing up,

and the weather getting nicer, people are always on the go.

The problem with being too busy is that people are so focused on everything else they are doing they do not remember to eat.

Most times this leads to getting fast food because parents don't have to cook and it's easy to grab on those busy nights. But just because it's easy doesn't mean it's good for you.

Believe it or not, it is still possible to have healthy on the go.

When you know that you are going to have a busy day plan your meals in advance.

Start with breakfast. If you know you won't be eating for a while you need to eat something that is going to last the morning. Things like toast and cereal aren't going to carry you until lunch. What you need to do is make sure you are getting lots of protein in the mornings. Lots of times I will make myself a protein shake with fruit, protein powder and juice or almond milk. I choose to have smoothies because they keep me going all morning when I know I won't have a chance to eat again until lunch. Another great idea for breakfasts is Greek yogurt which is also packed with protein. You can also add fresh fruit to your yogurt to spice it up a bit. Both of these foods are full of protein and are great to keep you going until lunch.

If you are anything like me, by the time lunch hits you are starving and ready to eat again. Even if it's a peanut butter and jam sandwich, you are still getting protein in you to keep you going. If you would like something more substantial, leftovers are a great solution. The night before pack up any leftovers from dinner in a container and then the next day all you have to do is warm it up. I am very aware that some people’s lunch

breaks are short, but as you can see it is still very possible to get something healthy into you.

Dinnertime is probably the busiest time of the day. The kids are finishing up their homework and getting ready for whatever sports they have that night and parents are rushing home to get dinner ready for their kids and to hit the road again. If you don't have time to cook dinner, instead of grabbing some fast food, a good idea is to cook meals in advance. The night before, or even the weekend before, make up some meals that can be either stored in the fridge or freezer for a couple of days. Then all you have to do once you get home from work is reheat it and you've got dinner ready for everyone!

As for snacks, there are a million different things to easily grab on the go. Fruit and vegetables are a great snack to have.

Especially fruit because it is a quick way of getting a little sugar in your body. Another snack idea that is very popular is almonds and trail mixes. Both are full of protein thanks to the nuts and are also a tasty treat. Also, don't forget about stay hydrated during the day. Make sure to have lots of water, especially on those hot summer days in the sun. To make sure you don't get dehydrated is to put a reusable water bottle in your bag or vehicle so that where ever you go you've got a drink.

Eating healthy with a busy schedule doesn't seem that difficult anymore once you plan your meals in advance. So remember, make sure to start the day with lots of protein and don't forget to stay hydrated!
