Welcome
to fall |
| |
|
 |

2003 |
|
It all began with friends and a
passion |
| |
|
 |
| |
|
It was February 2003. Jeff
Levine, Scott Bay, Jerry
Lardinois, Donna Hiatt, Jerry
Hiatt, Heather Eaton, Rick
Ingerson, Pam Peterson, Nancy
Toth and Warren Toth sat around
the kitchen table at the home
of Donna & Jerry Hiatt and the
Beachcombers Running Club was
formed. The thoughts were to
provide a venue for runners to
have a fun, social club with
the purpose of supporting
running in the community. When
we started we thought we would
have
35
or so members. Today, our
membership is over
500
making The Beachcombers one of
the larger running clubs in
Florida. |
| |
|
Pam Peterson and Donna Hiatt
presented thoughts and ideas on
a club name. After much
discussion and process of
elimination, Daytona
Beachcombers Running Club was
unanimously voted on. Donna,
Pam and Rick Ingerson worked on
the club logo and colors the
theme being a burst of sunrise
with a palm tree and a runner
running long our famous beach. |
|
 |
|
Scott Bay and Heather Eaton
wrote our Mission Statement
based on our members goals,
which was to share the joy
of running by bringing members
together. |
| |
|
Jerry Hiatt wrote our By Laws,
Attorney Fred Jaegers filed the
Incorporation papers, Jerry
filed forour
501(c)(3), Nancy Toth filed the
necessary papers for our Federal
Tax ID and our first slate of
officers were voted on and
accepted: President: Jerry
Lardinois, Vice President: Jerry
Hiatt, Secretary: Donna Hiatt,
Treasurer: Nancy Toth. Several
members donated funds to get us
started with Jim
Montgomery our largest donor. |
| |
|
As the months went by a
membership application was drawn
up, club shirts were ordered,
fun runs were put into place and
the thoughts of Paint The Towne
5K was on everyone’s minds.
Jerry Hiatt implemented the
Scholarship Program and coaching
program. We were up and
running! |
| |
|
Paint The Towne 5k, our
signature race, was formed in
2006 for the primary purpose of
providing scholarships to
graduating High School students
who are Cross Country or Track &
Field runners in Volusia/Flagler
County. With many thanks to our
loyal sponsors, we have given a
total of $48,000 in
scholarships. Daytona Cubs
offered their facilities, a
perfect venue for our race.
Palmer College of Chiropractic
stepped forward as our lead
sponsor, other business and
personal donors in our community
stepped forward as sponsors.
Preparations are in progress for
our 7th annual Paint
The Towne with Palmer College as
our presenting sponsor for the 7th
year! Mark your calendars for
November 4, 2012. |

|

We have a wonderful Christmas party
each year held at the beautiful
Peninsula Club, with absolutely
fantastic food provided by our
members in Pot Luck fashion. We
have periodic fun runs and last
February we had our first Red Dress
Fun Run. It was very interesting
and funny seeing our members
in their red dresses. This caught
the attention of many driving by on
Beach Street and their taking
pictures of the guys and gals. It
was a lot of fun and many are
looking forward to the next one.
Possibly someone would like to
organize an Easter Bonnet Fun Run.
And, one of the club’s favorite
events is Cubs Night Out! A fun
time at the ballpark with food,
drink and loads of camaraderie.
|
|
|
And now here we are 10 years later!
Still like family. Still with the
same passion. |

Running Season &
Football in Full Stride
• Donna Hiatt
|
|
|
As fall approaches and
mornings are cooler, many fitness
aficionados are dusting off their
jogging shoes to kick off the running
season. |
|
|
|
They put in hundreds of
miles on roads and trails every year. They push themselves to their physical
and mental limits. Blisters are
their battle scars. |
|
|
They are runners, and the
finish line is their destination. |
|
|
Local residents, on their
own and in groups, have taken to the
sidewalks, roads and beach to train for
upcoming races where they'll be
surrounded by runners, all with the same
goal. Some have started running to
lose weight, while others have been
competing in events for decades.
At the starting line, they are all
equal. |
|
|
|
For every runner, there
is a race that suits them. Those
who like speed run in the 5K races, 3.1
miles. Those who want to build
their endurance run marathons, 26.2
miles. |
|
|
|
The marathon was once
seen as the pinnacle of human fitness,
call for runners to muster all of their
strength just to finish the distance.
Now, marathoners come in all shapes and
sizes. |
|
|
But before they run
marathons, runners hone their skills in
shorter races. Shorter distances,
like 5K and 10K's, have sprung up
all over the country, including many in
our area. During the racing
season, you can pick and choose from
many well organized races from 5K's to the marathon. You may find a race
in your hometown or choose to travel to
Orlando to participate in one of Track
Shacks Grand Prix races or north to
Jacksonville. No matter which
direction you go, you will find a
well organized race run on a certified
course. Check out the Beachcombers
Race Calendar often for current
and updated runs in our area.

September 22 is the first
full day of Autumn, which also marks the
beginning of my favorite running season. The weather is cooler making it perfect
for outdoor running. The ideal
weather gets the runners outside and off
the treadmills. And, there's
always a lot of excitement surrounding
some big fall marathons, such as
Chicago and New York. All the buzz
should definitely get one motivated. |
|
| So, visit
Spikes, or your favorite running store, pick
out a new running outfit and a pair of
shoes, lace up and hit the roads!
And, don't forget to add Palmer College
Paint The Towne, Nov. 4, to your schedule.fun |

The first really modern Olympics
features shenanigans and feel-good
stories
|
|
Did you know this was London’s third
time hosting the Olympics? And if you
think things are over-the-top this
year, look at what
happened in 1908:
King Edward was said to be offended by
the “barbarous cries” of American
spectators, and at least one London
paper published disapproving reports of
their excessive flag-waving and “blowing
of a new squeaking instrument of torture
such as is employed at country fairs,”
probably a reference to the kazoo.
The first modern Olympics took place in
1896, in Athens. But in many ways, it
wasn’t until London in 1908 that the
Games started to resemble the
international spectacle they are today.
From the beginning, the fourth Olympiad
had a promising air of modernity and
importance. Unlike previous editions, it
was held without an accompanying world’s
fair or expo. It had a purpose-built
stadium, called White City. (The
planners inaugurated another Olympic
tradition when they went way over
budget.) For the first time, organizers
enforced entry deadlines — preventing
tourists from competing on a whim, as
they had before — and limited the number
of competitors per event.
But things didn’t go as smoothly as
planned. This was due in large part to
the fact that athletes (again, for the
first time) were competing not as
individuals but as representatives of
their respective countries, which
created problems from the get-go. At the
opening ceremony, the Russians tried to
prevent the Finns from flying their
flag. The English did the same to the
Irish, and the Americans refused to
lower their flag as requested at the
royal box, causing the first of many
rows between the host country and its
ascendant former colony.
The trans-Atlantic bad blood was partly
a matter of manners, on the field and
off. King Edward was said to be offended
by the “barbarous cries” of American
spectators, and at least one London
paper published disapproving reports of
their excessive flag-waving and “blowing
of a new squeaking instrument of torture
such as is employed at country fairs,”
probably a reference to a kazoo. Nor did the ultra-competitive American team do
much to win the locals over, challenging
everything from hole-digging policies
for the pole vault to the legality of
the shoes worn by a (victorious) British
squad in the tug of war. U.S. athletes
refused to run the 400-meter final in
protest of a teammate’s
disqualification, leaving their somewhat
embarrassed British rival to jog the
redo uncontested. Meanwhile, a British
lacrosse player sportingly offered to
sit out when an opposing player broke
his stick.
Those American runners might have had a
leg to stand on, though, because when it
came to officiating, the Britons were
routinely less than fair. (Pointedly,
these Games would be the last at
which the host country supplied all the
judges.) Nowhere was official partiality
and incompetence more evident than
at the marathon, where the front-runner,
an exhausted Italian named Dorando
Pietri, staggered into the stadium for
the final segment and almost immediately
collapsed. When it became clear that
American runner Johnny Hayes would soon
overtake him, the race’s organizers —
who until then had merely been dragging Pietri up and directing him — literally
carried the Italian across the finish
line. The Americans protested, and it
was decided that Hayes was the rightful
winner. Nevertheless, Pietri became the
toast of the town. The Queen awarded him
a special gold cup for his efforts, and
to this day London has a street named
after him.
London 1908 produced at least one or two
of those Olympic staples, the feel-good
story. Mel Sheppard won the
1,500-meter race, despite having been
turned down for a job with the New York
City police for supposedly having a weak
heart. And even if it wasn’t widely
celebrated at the time, Sheppard’s
medley relay teammate, John Taylor,
became the first black athlete to win
Olympic gold. (He died later that year,
of typhoid.)
This Olympics had its share of misfires,
too: Medals in motorboating, rackets and
jeu de paume were handed out for the
first and last time. Russia’s military
rifle team missed its event entirely,
not realizing that the Julian
calendar it followed was 12 days behind.
Later in the century, the Soviet Union
would abide no such goofs during its
Cold War rivalry with America. That
epic, decades-long face-off has a
predecessor of sorts in the squabbling
between the U.S. and Great Britain that
dominated London 1908, which one
historian contends “was so acute that
it almost put an end to the Olympics.”
On the other hand, the international
press ate it up. In fact, surely one of
London 1908’s major contributions to the
Olympics is convincing the media that
the Games are worth major coverage.
London played this role again, when it
next hosted in 1948 — the first time the
Games were televised. White City Stadium
was deemed too small to serve as the
main venue, and was eventually
demolished in 1985. The site is
currently occupied by offices of the
BBC.
The 2012 games have come to a close,
area residents should give a hearty
cheer to the Olympians with local ties.
Beach volleyball star Phil Dalhausser,
a graduate of Mainland High School in
Daytona Beach, and teammate Todd Rogers
were defeated in their attempt to defend
the gold medal they won four years ago
in Beijing. An Italian team topped
Dalhausser and Rogers in an exciting
match in the round of 16. Hyleas
Fountain, a competitor in the
women's heptathlon, won a silver medal
in Beijing. But she fell out of
contention in the second day of
competition in London. Archer Jake
Kaminski won a medal and two
teammates received silver medals in the
team archery competition. Joel
Redhead, a former Bethune-Cookman
University sprinter who represented
Grenada, didn't advance beyond the
preliminary round in the 200 meters. But
Bethune-Cookman celebrated having its
first athlete compete in the
Olympics. Port Orange's Christian
Taylor won a gold medal in the
triple jump; and Embry-Riddle can take
pride in Sam Vazquez and his
journey to London. Of course, Ryan
Lochte, a Spruce Creek High School
graduate, outshined the vast majority of
Olympians in London. Lochte will bring
home five medals, including two golds,
and now stands among the U.S. greats in
swimming, with a career
total of 11 Olympic medals.

According to Japanese Scientific
Research, full ripe banana with dark
patches on yellow skin produces a
substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis
Factor) which has the ability to combat
abnormal cells. The more darker patches
it has the higher will be its immunity
enhancement quality; Hence, the riper
the banana the better the anti-cancer
quality. Yellow skin banana with dark
spots on it is 8x more effective in
enhancing the property of white blood
cells than green skin version.
Eating 1-2 banana/s a day increases
immunity. |
|
|
It is a fact that nutrient content of
fruits change slightly as they ripen. As
a banana ripens and turns yellow, its
levels of antioxidants increases. These
antioxidants protect your body against
cancer and heart diseases. But
while overripe bananas certainly have
nutritional value, they also lose some
benefits. In full ripe bananas, the
starch content changes to simple sugars
that are easier to digest and may raise
your blood glucose levels quickly, but
it could be harmful for diabetic people.
Also, the micronutrients like vitamins
and minerals decrease as the bananas
ripen.
Tumor Necrosis Factor(TNF-α) is a
cytokine, substances secreted by certain
cells of the immune system that having
an effect on other cells. This is indeed
helpful in fighting abnormal turmor
cells in body. Research done
on ripening bananas has proved that the
levels of TNF-α induction
increased markedly before the entire
banana peel turned brown. The research
concluded that the activity of banana
was comparable to that of Lentinan, a
chemical immunostimulant that is
intravenously administered as an
anti-cancer agent. So, ripe banana can
act as an anti-cancer agent by stimulating the production of white
blood cells in the human cell line.
Both green and yellow bananas are high
fiber foods rich in potassium, vitamin
B6, fiber, and vitamin C. They have high
calorific value because of their high
sugar levels. A medium sized banana
provides about 105 calories. Also,
bananas are very good for our
Gastro-Intestinal tract and aid in
digestion. Therefore, eating one or two
bananas is indeed good for health. Once
bananas ripen fully, store them in the
refrigerator to minimize further vitamin
loss. Fresh bananas with brown patches
on the skin are ripe enough to eat
immediately. Make sure to avoid
over-ripe bananas whose skin has turned
brown or split open.

Kathy is a
country girl at heart. She grew up
in the middle of nowhere Cameron,
Missouri! In high school she was
in track and on the first girls cross
country team in Cameron. There
were 6 girls and they had a blast
'chasing' the boys.
Kathy and
Mark have been married 22 years.
They have three boys! Mark does
not run but does speed walk. His
speed walk pace is about the same as her slow jog so they often enjoy their
run/walk times together.
Kathy
came to the area by choice and work.
She is a financial analyst
for Energizer Personal Care – the
personal care division of Energizer
batteries. At the Ormond location they
make Hawaiian Tropic suncare,
Banana Boat suncare, Edge and
Skintimate shave gels. They have other
locations that make Schick razors,
Playtex tampons, Wet ones, Playtex
infant care, and of course the battery
division. She has been with Energizer
about 2 1/2 years. |
|
|
|
While in
school, Kathy loved running with her dog 10
miles or so down the country roads.
She fell away from running and developed
some bad health habits. She picked up
smoking and though she kept running for
fitness, it took her a long time to kick the
habit. She is more diligent now since
trying to shed some weight and to prevent
adult onset diabetes. Successfully!
She has been entering 5K's and other races
to stay motivated, lose the weight, and get
back in shape. |
|
|
|
A couple of
years ago Kathy broke her foot To
strengthen her legs and foot she started
running in Vibrams and found them more
comfortable than any other running shoe, so
she has stuck with them. Her goal
was to run a marathon before her 50th
birthday. February 2012 she ran the
Donna 26.2 - and yes, in her Vibrams!
Kathy works out
6 days a week. She is currently doing
Zumba & Sculpting 2 days a weeks, runs 2-6
miles 2-3 days a week, and sometimes throws
in a 30-60 minute swim. She recently
started alternating progressively increasing
long runs and half mile sprint repeats on
the weekend in preparation for some upcoming
halves she has signed up for. They
recently got a new puppy, Cookie, and Kathy
is now back running with her dog. They
are so much fun to run with and keep the
long runs interesting. Kathy also
likes to run with friends and alone.
She likes to mix it up to keep all the
training interesting.
And......any
race she has run with her friends Jana, Jean
or Brad are memorable ones.
Kathy's
favorite distance used to be the 5K but now
that she is getting more into the longer
distance the 1/2 marathon may end up being
her favorite! |
 |
| |
|
Right now,
Kathy's goals are to have fun, lose weight
and improve her times. She is no speed
demon she says. Time is irrelevant.
Having fun competing is the most important. |
| |
|
Advise?
Allow yourself plenty of time to reach your
goals. Don't give up! Kathy had
a goal for a few years....to run a marathon
. She knew she was out of shape so she
started early. Obstacles got in
the way. She broke her foot, kayaking
of all things, then she had to stop awhile
to care for her ailing parents.
Because she started early, she was able to
stick with it and reach her goals in spike
of all the trials and tribulations. |
|
|
|
 |
Kathy is also a
great volunteer! She volunteers for
Paint The Towne and RayZ Awareness.
Always offering to help out and
accomplishing the task that is asked
of her. She has helped secure sponsors
and donations.
She also likes
to paint (sometimes). She says many
accountants do not have an artistic side but
she enjoys it. She also like to
paddleboard, kayak and sew.
Kathy is
pretty much an open book and being from a
large family she is really into Facebook and
connecting through the internet. She
suggest the Beachcombers check out
Meetup.com. A great way to meet
some new runner's.
She's a
pretty cool gal, loves fun and a good time
and we're proud she's a Beachcomber! |

A frozen, saturated sponge in a bag makes an ice
pack that won't drip all over when it melts! |
Here's an eggs-cellent idea. Watch a video that gives an
easy how-to for separating a yolk from an egg.
All that's needed: Two bowls, an egg, and an empty plastic
water bottle. Crack the raw egg into one bowl, then the egg
whisperer takes the plastic bottle and squeezes it, which
gently sucks in the yolk. The yolk can then be squeezed out,
unharmed, on to the second bowl. Simple. And simply
amazing.

Colleen Nicoulin
completed the Ironman Coeur D'Alene in Idaho
on June 24.
That date also denotes the summer solstice
in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day
year. For some of those completing the 2.4
mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26 mile run, no
truer words will have been spoken. The
following weekend she headed up to Maggie
Valley then some time off for a little R&R
and fishing! Way to go Colleen! |

As usual, The Sullivan Family have had a very
busy summer. Ryan enjoyed 2 weeks at
skateboard camp in Pa. then vacation in Rhode Island
followed by a week in San Francisco. While there,
Sheila ran a 3:40 at the San Francisco marathon,
visited with a high school friend and enjoyed a family
vacation. While getting off the boat, Chris
slipped and fell and now has 14 stitches in his leg. Battle
scars! A very busy and exciting summer for the
Sullivan's |

Show & Tell by Richard Dillard |

What I did this summer! Claudia made me do it Richard
said. Ziplineing at Callaway! There were more than 4
zip lines - and they were great. It was the 'aerial
obstacle course, moving ropes, wire lines, and moving
platforms in-between that were the problem. 26
stations, 2 hours later with temps in the 90's all
performed 30 to 40 feet between trees! Claudia's
brother Bruce joined in. At 77 years young! |

Are you ready
for football?
|
| |
|
The racing
season and football season go together so
here are some
football
quotes from some
famous folks |
| |
|
Going to college offered me the
chance to play football for four more years.
Ronald Reagan |
|
| |
|
If a man watches three football games in a
row, he should be declared legally dead
• Erma Bombeck |
| |
|
The reason women don't play football is because eleven of them would
never wear the same outfit in public• Phyllis Diller |
|
|
|
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are
consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is
not coincidence.
• Erma Bombeck |
| |
|
When
you win, nothing hurts
• Joe Namath |
| |
|
I started
out as a football player. I liked to inflict
pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.
Shaquille
O'Neal |
| |
|
It isn't
necessary to say that a football team loses. I prefer the
language of the Olympics, in which you say somebody won second.
Tommy Prothro, UCLA football coach |
| |
|
Excellence is not a skill; it's an attitude
• Ralph Marston,
ex-football pro |
