MOTOWN This month, Randy and I dive into Motown and look at what it did to change music's landscape.
Give Randy a call today!
Berry Gordy started it all Randy explained. He quit his job at the automotive plant and started his record company in 1959. Smokey Robinson was at his side, and soon after, Hitsville USA was born! Think of all the great artists that Motown produced, such as Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops, Diana Ross, the Supremes and the Temptations. These are just a few of the music leaders of the era that Motown created! Of course, backing all of these great artists were the Funk Brothers.

IN THE
LONG
RUN By CHARLIE UPSHALL
MY MAGIC MOMENT Ever so rarely, I experience a moment in time that is so transcendent I know, even as it is happening, that it will be with me forever. Recently I experienced such a moment during an early morning.
The Sussex County Fairgrounds in New Jersey has become one of my favourite places in the world. For the last five years, I have travelled every May to a running event called 3 Days at the Fair. There are various choices of distances and times available, ranging from a marathon up to multi-day runs. This year was the tenth anniversary and so a special onetime only 10-day race was included. I signed up, ten days being the longest timed event recognized in Canada for record purposes. The course is a certified one-mile loop, mostly on asphalt with small trail and paving stone sections. It is relatively flat and completely unshaded. There is an aid station with kitchen and a separate washroom which we passed every loop. I rented an RV and it was parked alongside the course. My running pal Steve crewed for me the first six days, and then our friend Sandy arrived to help us through the last four days, as Steve was running the 48 Hour, which took place during Day 9 and 10 of my race.
We faced a variety of weather conditions, but mainly rain during the early days. I pushed hard through heavy rain the night of Day 3 in order to get the Canadian age group 72 hour record, reaching 179 miles by the end of the third day. Running constantly through puddles and streams of water is very hard on the feet, even though I was changing socks and shoes every few hours. Eventually, it caught up to me. By the time Sandy arrived to take care of me, I had many blisters, and at some point, the baby toe on my right foot became infected. Sandy did not like what she saw and, after having my good friend and highly-respected ultrarunner, George, take a look and offer his opinion, based on many years of experience, it was decided at noon on Day 9 that I needed to take at least one day off for treatment,
rest and monitoring to make sure the infection was not spreading. Although reluctant to do so as I was close to 400 miles and was also within ten miles of the unofficial 10 Day North American record for M70, I agreed without protest due to my immense respect for both George and Sandy. I also didn’t mind being able to take a good rest, although actual sleep was difficult.
Early the next morning, coming up to the beginning of Day 10, I awoke, put on my running gear and shoes with a hole cut in the one side to alleviate the pressure on the infected toe. I wanted to be gone before Sandy had an opportunity to talk me out of continuing, and I knew that she would give the toe a thorough check-over when I came in later in the morning for breakfast. I was back out on the course about 5:30 am in pleasant, cool conditions. Wary of trying any running, I began to walk easy laps in the breaking morning.
Quite soon, a young woman seemed to just appear beside me and asked if I’d walk with her. I replied that of course I would, and we introduced ourselves. Her name was Gina. She told me that she was in the 48 Hour, was very tired and cold but wanted to reach her day one goal. Although she didn’t say anything specific, I began to think that I was with a special runner. After about half a lap, I turned to her and asked, “Are you Gina Slaby?” She replied that she was and I immediately told her that it was a great honour for me to walk with her and try to help. By this time, I had already given her my mitts and asked if she would like an extra jacket. She perked up a bit but felt she could not keep anything in her stomach, even water. We walked and talked. Gina Slaby is one of the world’s most elite ultrarunners. She finished women's fourth at the last 24 Hour World Championships in Belfast in 2017 with a distance of 154.3 miles, is a member of the US team for this year’s Championships to be held in France in October and is a former holder of the 100 mile track world record with a time of 13 hours 45 minutes, set in 2016 and still the second fastest in history.
I had not known that she was coming to the race to try for the women’s 48 Hour record and I had not seen her running so brilliantly during the previous day, as I had been laid up in the RV. Sandy had told me that there was a runner burning up the course, running with such lightness and good form, but I did not have a name. So this was all new for me to process, my trying to help one of the world’s greatest runners to reach her Day 1 goal of 130 miles. We talked a little about races, but about many other things as well. She said she was enjoying the conversation and to keep talking as it helped to distract her from the overwhelming tiredness and cold. I don’t need much encouragement to keep talking. We discussed horse
racing, as she grew up near Saratoga Springs, New York, and I learned a bit about her life in the Navy. She and her husband Steve, also one of America’s elite ultrarunners and a member of the 2019 National Team, are both in the Navy, stationed now in Maryland. Gina has been deployed overseas multiple times, as she is a Supply Corps Officer. She actually started her running in 2005 simply in order to get in shape for the Navy’s entry physical fitness test, which included a 1.5 mile run. I completely enjoyed our time together as we walked toward her 130 miles. She was very up-beat, especially considering how much she must have been suffering. Gina is obviously a tough cookie underneath. In fact, her motto is, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” We finished at 7:30 am, and she went off to her tent to get warm and sleep. By early afternoon, I saw her out at her site. She was feeling better and had eaten some food, offering me pizza slices. She told me she would be staying out all night crewing for her husband as he was undertaking an intensive simulation in preparation for the World’s, working on his pacing and nutrition. I looked forward to seeing her later, but by mid-afternoon, they were both gone, as he had run into difficulties as well.
Shortly after I had left Gina in the early morning, I met up with my new friend Doyle on the course, and we began walking together. He had been at the race last year, and my great friend Newton from Vermont had introduced us, but I was somewhat intimidated. I had been told by others that he was a hard man. This year, a few days earlier, before his race started, he was walking directly toward me on the course, obviously getting ready to interact. I put my hand out and introduced myself. He said, “I know who you are.” From that moment on, I didn’t feel intimidated, and he turned out to be one of the funniest, most interesting people I have met. We enjoyed each other’s company right from the start.
Doyle Carpenter is one of the legends of early ultrarunning. He is a four-time winner of the Vol State 500k, a race across the breadth of Tennessee, held in the searing heat every July. A fifth time, he was leading by over two hours when he took shelter in a severe thunderstorm with only a mile to go. Then having fallen asleep, he was passed by another runner and so finished second. He just laughed when recounting the episode. In 1988, indoors in an old airplane hangar in Pensacola, he ran 221 miles in 48 hours, breaking the world record that had stood for 108 years. He told me that was the running achievement of which he was most proud. Doyle has had a long, fascinating life and running career. Just two years ago, at the age of 78, he completed an astonishing 149 miles in a 48 Hour race, tying the American age group record. He said a lot of people have hip, ankle and knee problems, but he guesses he was born lined up right. He started
running in 1951 when he was 12 year old, going a total of 6 miles daily back and forth to his job as a caddy. Carpenter is still vigorous, although not running too much because of a bad shoulder, but raising longhorn cattle that are used to pull ploughs and wagons, on his farm in Tennessee. While we were talking and running, I asked him if he had ever had an interest in or participated in the infamous Barkley Marathons. He replied that he had tied for first in the initial unofficial edition of the race. That’s a pretty good answer. As we walked our laps together, I forgot all about being in a race; I was in a place I would remember forever. As a young man, he had spent a lot of time hitch-hiking in eastern Canada, around the United States and into Central America. He told me about being held at gunpoint in rural Newfoundland in a robbery attempt, about boarding a freighter to Panama with no passport, and about Elton John sitting down to have dinner with him in an out-of-the-way diner. We had so much fun trading our stories back and forth and laughing away.
At some stage, another older American ultrarunning legend, Jim Barnes, asked if he could join us for some laps. Of course, he was really asking Doyle. I was introduced to him, and he fit right in. He was very interested in running life after knee replacements as he has some knee issues.
A little after 9:00 am, it was time for me to go in for breakfast. Sandy was waiting for me. I told her I had just been through one of the greatest, most memorable mornings of my life. And the day was still young… In The Long Run Proudly Sponsored By

THE
REELDEAL
with
LARRY MELLORS
What Happened to the Other Two ”R’s” Do you know the three “R’s” I am referring to? Recycle – Reduce - Reuse. All three are very important in today’s natural environment. But how well do we practice the three? If you are entirely honest – not very much! With the very high waters this spring it is very evident a lot of people are still not recycling. The household litter that was left high and dry once rivers and lakes started to recede was overwhelming. It is in stark contrast to the beautiful riparian zones along these respective shorelines. Our own walks while hiking or fishing have revealed numerous water bottles, coffee cups and plastic bags. These products ruin the beautiful landscape. Everything is so lush and green with the amount of moisture we have received to date. Social media is alive with stunning photographs of plants, young animals and birds and flowers. It would be safe to say that a fair number of people do use the blue box to recycle. It makes people feel good to participate and inform others. This is a good thing but of all of the “R’s” it is having the least effect on the environment. Some people ask why certain products cannot be recycled in various municipalities versus a neighbouring community. The reason for this is quite simple. The municipality that recycles that particular product has a firm that will take it and the other municipality does not. Also, for some products, such as shrink wrap, there is a limited market for the used material. The rest goes to landfill sites. Water bottles face the same situation in certain areas. It is still hard to believe how many cases of bottled water are still passing through the cash register! This is an easy one for all of us to cut back on. There are currently hundreds of storage containers of water bottles from Canada sitting at a dockside in China to be recycled. But currently, China has an excess. This problem is only going to get worse. We certainly cannot live without plastics. It is probably the number one product that is most used in the world – from plastic wrap to packaging. We all need to look at how much we use or buy single-use plastics. Realizing the packaging of most of our products, fruit and vegetables, tools, household batteries and fishing tackle, is from the manufacturing side of the equation it may not be possible for us to reduce this. But we can make choices, especially with fruits and vegetables, as an example. Look for these items in bulk, loose displays. When I am in grocery stores, a significant number of plastic bags are purchased for five cents. It is hard to believe that people complain about the cost of groceries, but they spend money to carry them home in, then throw the bags in the garbage can afterwards. Purchasing cloth bags as an alternative is the answer. In the long run, they even save you money. It is time for every one of us to look seriously at the two “R’s” we are currently not applying to our lives and try to improve in this initiative to improve our natural environment. The last thing I enjoy seeing while standing waist deep in a river are plastic objects going past me. The outdoors is a remarkable healthy place to visit and share with everyone. Let’s make sure it stays that way, and in fact, go one step further and improve the landscape for all of us. Do your part and practice the 3 R’s! Larry can be reached at focusonfishing@rogers.com

REDKELLY
his dad couldn't play because he had to work on the farm. No problem, the Dover team held the train in Port Dover until Red's dad made it to the station.
By: Dave Scott
When I heard that Red Kelly had passed away... I felt like the little kid hockey player in me had just lost a little love for the game! As a hockey-playing crazy country, Red represented how we all should play the game and act in life. He was humble beyond belief, strong and fair on the ice and off, a dedicated family man and loyal to his teammates. He never thought himself as a big shot.
of
He was a true gentleman in today's society; he was the epitome of what we should all strive to be. Oh, and I cannot forget his wonderful sense of humour. I want to share with you a day in my life when my family went to visit Red and his wife, Andra. It was Family Day 2009, my wife, kids and I travelled to the Kelly household in Toronto. I have to admit I was a little nervous walking up the front steps to their home. The Kellys welcomed us as if we were long-lost friends, and when Red and I shook hands, my whole hand disappeared in his... his hands were huge. I peeked into the dining room, which had nine silver tea sets (they used to give silver tea sets instead of rings when you won the Stanley Cup). I asked Red about the ninth set (he won eight Stanley Cups). He explained that was the one that he was most proud of! His wife, Andra, received it for teaching figure skating to children with visual impairments. A lot of folks don't know that Andra was a highly decorated USA figure skater who perhaps could have gone all the way to the Olympics. Red gave us a tour of his house. History was hanging from the walls everywhere you looked. I saw photos of Red with Ella Fitzgerald, Red with Wayne Gretzky, Red with Jack Nicklaus, and even a letter from the queen hung behind his desk in his office. It was like stepping back in time through a real-life history book. We settled in their living room and Red, feeling comfortable in his setting, started telling me about his family history. Red told me that out of all of them, his father was the better hockey player, better than Red or his brother, Joe. The story goes that Red's dad played for Simcoe and when Port Dover got a new rink, they called and coaxed him away by offering him a new sleigh for the farm‌ so off his dad went to play for Dover and they made it all the way to the finals that year. The final game was in Cambridge, but
Red regaled me with the story about learning to stick up for himself. He was just a young lad at the time, skating on a pond in Simcoe when some older boys started picking on him. That never happened again after Red took up boxing, winning a boxing title later at St. Mike's! Red didn't make any of the hockey teams his first year at St. Mike's. He was cut from all of them. Then one day, he was spotted playing on a pond and was asked to play on St. Mike's lowest level team. Every year from then on he climbed the ladder, winning championships, finally making it all the way to the Memorial Cup against a team from Manitoba. Red tells the story of how, during that series, he took one of the hardest hits that he would ever take during his years as a player. "He zigged, and I zagged, and the big fella got me," Red said. Red was sore for the rest of the series. When he got back to the farm and was hooking up their team of horses to pull a stump out of the ground, the horses jerked while Red was holding on. That's when he realized he'd broken some ribs from that hockey collision. Now that's tough folks! Another story Mr. Kelly shared was that he was a big baseball fan, especially of the Detroit Tigers. Red and some of his buddies decided to hitch-hike to Detroit. When they arrived there were no tickets left, so Red called Jack Adams, General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings (at this point the Red Wings had drafted Red). Jack told Red to go down to a particular gate at the ballpark and ask for a specific police officer and tell him they were "Jack's boys." They did just that, and the officer took them in a back door, down a dark tunnel, and out they came into the sunlight with front row seats on the third-base side to watch the game. Red was over the moon, and later that night, he attended his first Red Wings game at the Olympia (rink). Red said he knew at that moment he wanted to be a Red Wing! Gordie Howe wanted to date a young lady who was a figure skater. She had a friend, so Gordie convinced Red to go on a double date... the rest is history. That is the night that Red met Andra. Red said that she wasn't really
all that interested in him at first, but after a couple years, she came around to Red! The consummate gentleman, Red wanted her parent's approval, but Andra's dad was not big on her marrying a hockey player. I think Red felt he always had to prove himself to Andra's parents. Perhaps that is why he went into politics. He became an MP in the Toronto area, beating Alan Eagleson to win the seat! A cool story from the campaign trail... Red told me that one day, he thought it best to get out and knock on a few doors. He went to the first two houses and both times the owners answered and said, "Oh Red Kelly, of course, we will vote for you!" At the third house, he knocked, and the lady and her husband came to the door. They weren't quite sure who Red was. He said, "It took me a while to talk them into it, but they finally came around and said they would vote for me." Red decided that was enough right then and there, he was three for three, and that was his campaign. When Red was an MP, the flag debate was going on, and Red did his part to ensure we had our own flag. In December 1964 the Canadian flag was approved. It's kind of funny how history works, isn't it? Red was a pro at stickhandling on and off the ice! Lester Pearson asked Red to attend the opening of The Summer Games in Japan to represent Canada; it was the same time as training camp was starting. Red told Lester Pearson, the Prime Minister, that he would have to check with GM, Punch Imlack of the Leafs to see if he could miss camp. Punch agreed, and Red was off to Japan! Red was asked if he would put on a skating demonstration when he arrived in Japan. Red explained that he didn't bring his skates. They said that's okay they would find him a pair. Well, they got him skates all right, and as he's telling the story, Andra said, "Now Red, tell Dave the rest of the story of what happened." When the skates arrived, they were both too small for him, and they were both right feet! Red didn't complain, he went out and gave the demonstration, humble and gracious like always. He didn't want to disappoint the kids! Which leads to our next story of why Red walked away from politics. One night after playing hockey he caught the train heading to Ottawa to attend Parliament for a couple days. This was
not unusual. Red did this quite a bit, and it took its toll that's for sure! He tells the story of when returning home he was walking up the steps to his house and his daughter was at the front door, yelling to Andra, "Hey Mom, Red Kelly's coming to visit!" Right then and there he decided to quit politics. He wanted his kids to know who he was! I asked Andra how he was after leaving politics, and she said, "Oh, it was quite the time. Lester Pearson, the Prime Minister, kept calling and visiting and trying to talk Red out of it." Red stuck to his guns; his family would always come first. It was an honour and a privilege for my family to spend time with Red and Andra. Their gentle, honest approach was very reflective of the day, and I know it was a day that both our children will always remember. It was the day we spent with Red, a great gentleman who made our community proud. He set the standard for people of Norfolk to live up to... on and off the ice! Thank you, Red!

OPTIMIZING HEALTH
GROUND BREAKING, CANADIAN TECHNOLOGY! BARB ANSTEAD, Holistic Nutritionist
TECHNOLOGY, LIFESTYLE AND NUTRITION – A PERFECT COMBINATION
As a Natural Nutritional Clinical Practitioner, it may strike many as unusual to hear that a Canadian Neuro Technology development has become a natural and hugely impactful addition to my practice – for me, my family and my clients. Healthy scepticism was my first response to being introduced to this technology. With 28+ years in the Natural Health industry, my expectations for high quality, effective and scientifically validated products for my clients and family is an unwavering and non-negotiable quest. Not surprisingly, there was a healthy degree of scepticism when first introduced to this HPT Technology. This created an initial delay in sharing while investigating the science thoroughly, conversing with other practitioners and using the wearable tech personally, on family and close friends. Four months of personal compliance with the tech and the results and experiences were undeniable, the applications and potential for health support and improvement, simply mind-blowing. It was high time to share with my clients as I could not deny the supportive health benefits that aligned with my practice ideals. Finally, time to embrace being part of an awe-inspiring mission to share this tech with 1 billion people!!!
WHY IS HOMEOSTASIS SO IMPORTANT?
A nutrient dense diet using quality, whole, natural foods, supports our bodies with cellular nutrients that enable us to function optimally and direct our energy better. When we eat low nutrient, highly processed foods, we cause our bodies to work much harder simply to repair the damage we are causing and to eliminate toxins etc. Poor food choices, alcohol, smoking, poor stress response, too little water, you get the idea, all upset the delicate balance our bodies work to maintain. In a word, it’s all about HOMEOSTASIS. A state of balance – balance facilitates all forms of communication. When we are in balance, we simply function better, we expend less energy on damage control and repair processes, conserving valuable resources so that we can expend more energy on
enjoying life. Fast forward to the remarkable discovery of a technology that revolves around the development of a tactile pattern (delivered via specific wearable products). This pattern, when applied to specific sensory receptor sites on the body, has been identified, scientifically validated, tested and proven effective in allowing our brains to enter a state of Homeostasis (balance) by working on our NEUROLOGY. From here, our brains are in an optimal state to work on our individual wellness! Recognition of this pattern, when worn on specific receptor sites on our body, enables this pattern recognition response to communicate with our brain stem. From there, it is all about the capabilities and the potential of the brain of the individual wearing it and their compliance with the products. Consistency and compliance are key - like a pair of glasses or a hearing aid, they can’t help if you don’t use them!
THE BEST APPROACH TO HEALTH IS UNIQUE AND MULTIFACETED
At Dover Apothecary, our clients receive a very thorough and special level of care and individualized attention from Mike and our team. It is recognized that no one modality or program is a standalone therapy. We explore and research science-based avenues to offer the best and understand that as individuals, we are each absolutely unique. In our genetic makeup, our environmental exposures and our, of course, responses to things. For these reasons, the way we experience new things will vary as well. If I have piqued your interest, I invite you to investigate and advocate for supporting and improving your own health and wellness along with those you love by educating and empowering yourself – research this tech, ask me questions, book a consult! The science is there, it is clear, unequivocal and changing lives in wonderful ways. Each and every day, sharing information on health and nutrition, along with this technology, brings me joy. Sharing with others to tap into our individual potential for supporting wellness and optimizing quality of life is an amazing and gratifying path. Barb Anstead NNCP I barb@healthywellandwise.ca

A D S P O N S O R E D B Y:
TRIGGER FINGER From work to chores and other daily activities, there are a number of repetitive movements we perform throughout the day that can cause discomfort to overworked areas of the body. The fingers are particularly susceptible to repetition injuries due to their natural anatomy and the role they play as the primary grasping mechanisms of the body. Trigger Finger is a common disorder that affects the tendons in the fingers or thumb and can be associated with repetitive strain on a digit or digits. Trigger Finger can be characterized by a catching, snapping or locking of the involved digit flexor tendon. The flexor tendons are located in the forearm above the wrist, and when the fingers bend, the flexor tendons slide through a small tunnel called the tendon sheath. Trigger Finger occurs when a digit becomes irritated as it slides through the tendon sheath tunnel, which can lead to a thickening both in the tendon and tendon sheath. The thickened tendon becomes momentarily stuck at the mouth of the sheath tunnel, with a popping sensation as the swollen tendon slides through the tightened tunnel area. This causes the finger or thumb to shoot straight out involuntarily. Jobs where the use of power tools is repetitive or hobbies like knitting where the digits are consistently moving are some examples of activities that can trigger Trigger Finger. Symptoms usually start without an injury but are commonly noticed following a period of heavy hand use. Symptoms can be characterized by pain when flexing or extending the fingers, discomfort, and swelling on the base of the affected digit and tenderness with a possible small lump on the palm. The most common fingers affected are the middle and ring finger, with the affected finger being locked in the flexed position in some cases. Great Lakes Physiotherapy can offer bracing mechanisms and other treatment options if, like this Trigger Finger, you're feeling stuck.

CMHA RECOGNIZES MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS DAY, JUNE 11, 2019 On June 11, the Canadian Mental Health Association joins organizations across Canada in recognizing Men’s Mental Health Awareness Day. This annual event aims to normalize conversations about mental health issues and reduce the stigma that often prevents men from seeking help. CMHA recognizes that stigma may make it difficult for men to identify their own mental health and addiction issues. Signs and symptoms of mental health conditions may present themselves differently in men. Men are more likely to describe their mental health concerns as physical symptoms such as headaches or chronic pain. This link between signs of mental illness and physical symptoms is often unrecognized and leads to undiagnosed, untreated men.
SKIN CARE It's time for your skin to recover from the harsh elements of winter. Have you thought about how your skin care regimen should change with the season? Come into the Blade Salon, meet Glenda, our esthetician/skin therapist and experience Dermalogica--the number one choice of skin care professionals worldwide! Learn how to preserve and protect your skin. After all, your skin is the largest organ in your body! 355 Main St, Port Dover, ON N0A 1N0 www.bladesalon.ca 519-583-2021
We know that men talk less about mental health problems, are less likely to know how to get help and are more likely to be afraid to ask for help. Mental illness impacts men and women differently. Substance abuse is higher in men than in women. Men are more likely to develop schizophrenia at a younger age and four times more likely to die by suicide than women. The highest number of suicides occurring among men occur between the ages of 40 and 60. On June 11, use #MENSMHDAY on social media to break the stigma and talk.
