Mentors

By: Dave Scott

I was working on a walking/running trail on our property recently and was tossing around ideas on what we should name it. We enjoy naming our paths of happiness as a way to reflect on our lives. They are named after pets, music, wildlife, family and folks who have impacted our lives.

As I was wandering over the property one day, my thoughts went to two men who have left this earth, but each had a tremendous influence on me.

Both were leaders in the Norfolk community and had a wealth of life experience that was always aimed at helping others.

I found myself often stopping by and visiting one or the other. One liked tea; one liked coffee. One enjoyed the spotlight and never shied away; the other preferred working behind the scenes. Both travelled all over the world. They were friends, and you could see the respect they held for each other. Listening to their conversations was a wonderful experience, especially the day, many years ago, when they were at the Heritage War Plane Museum in Hamilton.

When I did pop by their home or office, I was always welcomed with open arms, and the hours would fly by.

Conversations would range from local events, charities and business, to world politics and social issues.

There were always many items on my list of things I should be doing. However, this was the right place for me to be at the time, sitting with them and learning the different components that allowed these men to develop their social consciousness over their lifetime.

I wish they were here today. Their strength of

conversation would have been a welcome distraction, and I am sure their advice on the pandemic would have been more realistic than any current politician's.

But they are not, so I draw on the experience of what they have taught me: focus forward on life, look to where I can help, play to my strengths, listen before I speak, live my best life…

These are just some of the simple life lessons these two men shared with me. I think now more than ever, mentors are needed in our society. Wisdom and experience do not come from apps or websites, so let's encourage conversation with those around us who matter. You just might learn a little something!

Now, where was I? Oh yes, the trail. It needs to have: a few hills (for life's ups and downs), a great view of the sun (for life's happy moments), a few rocks to climb over (to reach new heights), lots of wildflowers (to appreciate life's natural beauty), a few roots to trip over (for when you stumble in life), a single-track path (it is a personal life journey), a few deer (to show the grace of life), a big old tree to rest under (a break in life), and the running river (to show life carries on even after we're gone).

Lastly, the trail will loop because life continues beyond all else.

This trail will be called the Hastie-Race trail (John Hastie, John Race), and every time I walk or run it, their memory will be served!

IN THE

LONG

RUN

By CHARLIE UPSHALL

10 DAYS IN JULY “I found in myself something that I never knew was there.” ~ Barry Crumrine, former winner Vol State “If you can’t sleep on concrete, you don’t belong.” ~ Darlene Kresse, finisher I have participated in the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee each of the last two summers. However, there is also an actual race, the 314 mile Vol State Road Race. It is not just another ultramarathon; it is much more. It is an adventure and an opportunity to explore who you are. Beginning with a ferry ride across the Mississippi River, the race finishes at “the Rock” on the top of Sand Mountain, Georgia.

Participants have the option of competing “crewed” or “screwed”, that is, with or without a crew to assist them on the way. Most choose “screwed”, definitely more challenging, but also a richer experience. The course must be completed within 10 days. For many runners, that would seem easy enough, having to average only 50 km per day.

That is not the case. For between 4 and 10 days, faced with the heat, humidity and frequent rainstorms that typify Tennessee weather in mid-July, the Vol Staters must make their way along highways and backroads, through small towns, up mountains and down valleys, all the while reliant on their own wits and abilities.

There are no official rest stops and no aid stations.

It is the “screwed” who are the essence of this race.

Alone, each must contend with, and resolve, basic needs: what will I find to eat; when will I get more water; where will I sleep?

If you are a solo participant, you must carry everything you have decided you need for over 300 miles, except for what you can purchase or find along the way. Much deliberation goes into what is to be taken and then it is usually pared down. The consensus is that your pack, that being a hydration pack, needs to weigh less than five pounds with contents. You must carry a phone, for emergencies

and to complete mandatory twice-daily check-ins. In general, people include a debit or credit card, some cash, water, sunblock, anti-chafing lubricant, foot care needs, poncho or light rain jacket, headlamp, bug spray and meds if needed. Optional items can be a small knife, safety pins, foil blanket, alcohol wipes, t-shirt and extra socks. The two pairs of socks are alternated, one pair hanging on the outside of the pack for drying (when it’s not raining!). And that’s it.

This year 106 individuals toed the line. Some failed but most made it to the finish. After a few days, what is needed most is simply dogged tenacity. Your feet are a mess of blisters, caused by the frequent wet weather combined with the heat. You have been in the same clothes, you have no change of running shoes, you have subsisted in some measure on gas station food and you are often moving very slowly through interminable miles in a state of severe sleep deprivation. Will you ever get to “the Rock”?

When they stepped off the ferry at the beginning, they were all full of big dreams and grand plans. They were laughing and full of fight. After a while, if you make it through the day, all you have to look forward to is a next day, with heat, humidity, sun and rain. You will spend it looking for food and drink, a place to rest and tending to your feet or other hurts. You will rely on handouts from strangers, maybe cleaning up in a gas station restroom sink and occasionally convincing the local sheriff that you are not homeless. In order to do this event, you must be willing to accept levels of discomfort beyond what most people will ever experience and, of course, beyond what most people ever want to experience.

Along the way, there is one saving grace. The race follows the same route every year and takes place at the same time in mid-July. Over the years, a few residents, who live along the way, have developed an interest in the event and in the racers, many of whom are repeaters. These people are known as “road angels”. They do what they can, what is allowed by Lazarus Lake, the race founder and director. Canopies, coolers filled with drinks and snacks may be set up at the roadside. There might be lawn chairs or cots for resting. The veteran Vol Staters get to know them and where they are located. Friendships develop.

Information is passed along via a public Facebook page. But still, you have to be in the right place at the right time. Most often, there will be many, seemingly never-ending, miles between these little oases. When there is no food or water available, you go without. As the days pile up, you become more and more fatigued and sleep-deprived. There are a few small motels along the route; some nights you might be one of the lucky ones. However, a lot of time is spent dreaming about getting restorative rest. Often you have to settle for a

concrete entrance to a church or store, a tennis court, a bench, a discarded chair or a patch of grass. Besides searching for a spot to sleep, nighttime brings further challenges. There are loose, country dogs and bugs to contend with. On some parts of the course, you are on highways and many roads have narrow or nonexistent shoulders. After a few days with little sleep, hallucinations are common. Of course, it could also be raining. It can be a lonely and scary time. Dawn’s early light may be very comforting.

Even with all that, there is no greater freedom than being totally alone on the open road, relying on your mind, your skill and your physical ability to cover the ground. Events such as Vol State can become transcendental experiences that make us better, more grateful humans. Ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.

A Teaspoon or a Truckload?

DOESN’T MATTER! BARB ANSTEAD, Holistic Nutritionist

Sensitivity, Intolerance or Allergy?

The last several months have been a journey of glaring reminders of the critical nuances of digestive health for one of our household members - again. As trying as it has been, the miracle of the body to rebound is the greatest reward when we address the underlying issues.

Levi joined our family in early February of 2019. This sweet Potcake pup came to us via a wonderful foster family, rescuing dogs in dire straits from the Bahamas. As a rule, these dogs have what we would refer to as a “cast-iron stomach”. Well, Levi didn’t get that memo - he probably ate it as he had to scavenge to survive initially!

The issues we have dealt with are so reminiscent of the struggles we had with the health of our children, failure to thrive, numerous health concerns, allergies, infections, skin problems. This is my big “why”, the reason I initially began my journey to become a Natural Nutritional Clinical Practitioner.

As a rule, the more wholesome our diet is, the better quality the food we eat is, the less work our body must do. This leaves us more energy to live and love life because our body isn’t wasting energy on repair work. Why then were my children and now Levi clearly very unwell despite what was an extremely healthy diet? So, I went back to the drawing board (make that the kitchen and the cutting board) –

pulled out my notes to remind me of where I had to start the process with my children - all of the steps, what testing/diagnostic information was required and start from scratch.

It was time to start Levi on an elimination diet – bloodwork had determined we were dealing with allergies. Further testing revealed severe intolerances and sensitivities as well. Out of 255 substances tested, only about 50 showed up as no reaction, another 50 as low reactivity and the rest as severe. In my experience, there is no sense doing an elimination diet part way if you expect a full recovery. Whether you consume a teaspoon or a truckload of a reactive food, your body has to struggle with the consequences, and you are making little to no progress on the road to recovery. Elimination diets are not forever diets, usually 6-8 weeks of avoidance of the offending substances, and if the body has sufficiently repaired, a gradual re-introduction starting with the least reactive list can begin. Allergies are a different story as the immune system is fully engaged – these can be lifelong though often they can become more or less severe. Many people report that by removing the things they are intolerant to, can reduce the severity of their allergies quite dramatically!

Prior to adjusting Levi’s diet, he had a growing, raw abdominal area (remember, the skin is our largest organ, when things show up, consider what is going on inside), he was vomiting copiously several times weekly, often with mucous, bile and blood, bowel movements were frequently bloody and full of mucous, he was itching, losing weight and muscle mass, and becoming lethargic.

Digestive health is critical – our ability to absorb and eliminate properly, as well as the immense strain on our immune health, can alter the quality of our lives. To ignore signs and symptoms is at the very least going to detract from quality of life but can very well be at our peril.

Currently, Levi gets a homemade menu created specifically for him. In the last few weeks, his rash is disappearing, his weight is regulating, muscle mass and energy very much improved, bowel habits are much more normal and vomiting drastically reduced as well as itching. It has been worrisome, and it has been a lot of work, but the reward is fantastic, and it has been a great reminder to evaluate my own health issues and do a tune-up for myself as well!

Seek Professional Help Getting a professional opinion, appropriate testing, and guidance is critical for resolving health care issues. At Dover Apothecary and in my home office practice, we are committed to our community and guiding people to optimizing their quality of life.

Our bodies, regardless of species, want to be well and will respond to therapies geared to health and wellness! Symptoms are clues and opportunities our bodies give us – they are valuable opportunities to make the appropriate changes. It is hard work - but it is 100% absolutely worth it!

Local events to mark International Overdose Awareness Day include: Candle light vigil the night before on August 30, 7pm.

AUGUST 31, is International Overdose Awareness Day International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on August 31 each year and aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of a drug-related death. It also acknowledges the grief felt by families and friends, remembering those who have died or had a permanent injury as a result of a drug overdose. International Overdose Awareness Day is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose. Its theme, “Time to Remember. Time to Act.” encourages people to spread the message that the tragedy of overdose death is preventable and to remember that an individual who dies by overdose is always someone’s family member.

Over half a million people die each year from drug overdose. They come from all walks of life.

This year is the 20 th anniversary of International Overdose Awareness Day. With over half a million people dying as a result of drug use annually, it has never been more important. On the 31st of August every year, we publicly mourn, educate people on drugs to prevent overdose, and advocate for better drug policies.

Like elsewhere, opioids account for the majority of drug-induced deaths in Canada. In 2020, in the three months of July–September, there were at least 1,705 apparent opioid-related deaths, with another 1,646 having occurred in April–June of the same year.1 This report does not include deaths caused by drugs other than opioids, so the total number of drug-induced deaths will be somewhat higher.

Kevin and Victoria at the Community Food Hub on Sydenham Street in Simcoe.

ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW WITH VICTORIA I am here with Victoria from Church Out Serving.

You’re a big group that does a lot for our community. Can you please tell me what it is that you do for those who don’t know?

We run a number of food-related and other community programs.

We have 22 Community Garden beds in 5 Simcoe locations. We grow food for our neighbours who have limited access to fresh, healthy food. The gardens are located at Indwell-Hambleton Hall, Unilever Simcoe, Evergreen Heights Church, Old Windham United Church and Calvary Church. While it’s still early in the season, 2,900 vegetable servings have already been harvested for local food banks, meal programs, and food hamper programs, including our own.

First Serving is a community meal program which serves a warm meal twice a week at lunchtime (on Mondays and Fridays) from First Baptist Church in downtown Simcoe.

While this program has been offered for years, over 15,000 meals have been served just since COVID restrictions began 16 months ago.

Our Food Hamper Program began in April 2021 in response to the pandemic.

We began delivering healthy food hampers to residents across Norfolk County who are isolated and experiencing food insecurity. Over 6,300 healthy food boxes have now been delivered.

Emergency Meal Program - Our volunteers get together several times a month to prepare and freeze healthy meals for people who are unable to cook for themselves and their families due to illness, homelessness, self-isolation or some other crisis. Over 5,500 frozen meals have been served just in the last 16 months alone.

Thank you for your time Victoria, and for all that you do.

Donation Station – is a program that receives donations of furniture, appliances, and household basics and delivers them to families with need. Referrals for items come from Women’s Services, The Salvation Army, HN Health and Social Services, CLASS, CMHA, local churches and more.

Comfy clothing

and tropical plants!

This month at Eising Greenhouses and Garden Centre, home of the Sassyfras Boutique, we were invited to hang out and do a photoshoot with Sara, who just joined the Eising team this past April.

Sara’s areas of expertise are in the tropical and house plant sections in the store. She tells us she has a house plant obsession!

As for her clothing style, Sara says she is a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl who likes to feel comfortable when working in the garden centre.

Her preference is the mid-rise skinny of the JAG blue jeans and the relaxed fit of the cuff sleeve 100% cotton t-shirt with the happening geometric design made by Fransa.

Check out the cool bracelet Sara is wearing. Of course, it is from BIJOUX DESERT. So Sara, one last question, what is your favourite house plant?

My favourite has to be the Watermelon Peperomia!
