team funding source, Sport
Canada, indicate that they will
only fund those athletes in the
top 20 or possibly even 15 places
at the previous World Championships (1985 Australia). Therefore
the COF will be required to come
up with a lot of money to fund
the other team members. Donations

4. Direct Membership to COF - In
Membership in the
Some
Cases:
COF has always been through joining a provincial association. It
was not possible for anyone to
through
join COF without going
the provincial body.
There was
also no route for individuals
residing in provinces who have no
orienteering association to join
COF. This has now been changed.
The
Directors
passed a motion
"That the COF accept memberships
directly and that the direct COF
membership fee structure be:
Junior - $13.00; Senior - $15.00:
Family - S27.00.
The fees were deliberately set at
a cost higher than any provincial
fee as the intent is not to have
orienteers bypassing the provincial association and joining COF.

"Hello
Coach.
It's Oscar.
Mom says I can't come to the meet
this weekend. I don't have
enough money to pay for the gas,
food and camping."

We really need you for the Junior

you see if you can get a part

It's
Oscar. My Mom say : can't come
to the meet this weekend. I have
to work at McDonalds."
It was in the spring of 1982,
when I introduced an orienteering
program and club at Sir Wilfred
Laurier Jr. high School in
Calgary. I had been a keen
orienteer in Ontario a few years
previously but had drifted away
from the sport because of work
commitments. Now, work commitments were going to allow me to
become more involved in orienteering than ever. The sport was
still relatively new and fresh in
Alberta and a junior program did
not even exist. By the spring of
19B3, I was usually seen at
0-meets with a pick-up truck full
of junior high kids. Some of
them were really enthusiastic and
took out membership in the Foothills Wanderers Orienteering
Club.
These were
not

orienteering kids from orienteering families.
Although some of
the
kids

the

for
transportation and supervision.
After much trial and error, many
mistakes and triumphs, a Junior
Squad Program began to take shape
in Alberta. Funding for juniors
was set aside at the provincial
and local club levels. Coaches
became active. juniors were
actually training, camps were run
and the sport of orienteering for
juniors began to grow.
The amount of energy put out by
our young orienteers was terrific. However some members were
mysteriously dropping out of the
sport. Although orienteering
prides itself upon being an
inexpensive sport for all people,
it becomes quite expensive considering the cost of travel and
accommodation to attend a full
schedule
of
major
meets
and
training events.

aware of this problem and set

and a parent rep. In its beginnings, the fund was used to subsidize travel costs for juniors
who travelled with a senior club
member. The program was very

(Just what is it like going out to an '0' event? Here are the reactions
to two separate outings.)
What's the meet time?
What's my start time?
Where's the toilet?
Which way does your compass say
north is?
Anybody know where the start is?
Sue just ate lunch!
How long do they say it takes to
get to the start?
How long will it take ME to get
there?
Is it O.K. if your compass has a
big bubble in it?
Anybody have a pair of site 9 '0'
shoes I can borrow...just for a
little while?
The car keys are under the left
front bumper.
I found the washroom but there's
no toilet paper,
Oh look, there's Bill!
Bill who?
(Bill who beats me every week).
Do you think I need bug repellent?
Not if you go fast.
Don't forget, Dad said the car
keys are under the license plate.
Oops.„I broke a shoelace.
Where's the start?
I don't know, there's a sign that
says follow the orange streamers.
Do you see any orange streamers?
ON THE COURSE they said this was

There's that guy in the green and
white! Is he following me?
Oh, there's the flag...00ps...AB.
not CF.
Let's see...this hill's at least
five contours high, how come
there are only three lines on the
map?
Should have brought my bug spray.
Ha! There goes Bill_headin' the
wrong way.
Are those white spots on that log?
That's a cute outfit on that girl!
Hem...where am I?
This stream

That's not much of a cliff.
Slurp...hope he doesn't mind my
returning incredibly muddy shoes.
Wow! That fence was electrified.
AFTERWARDS did you see the fawn!!
Bill beat me.
Where's the food?
Did you see the girl in the cute
outfit?
I've looked all over this car for
the keys.
The bubble's bigger.
I saw you neck deep in the stream
when I was crossing the bridge.
I don't want to talk to anybody.
Guess what...they just put toilet
paper in the washroom.
If I hadn't gotten lost on the
way to the start, my time would
have been O.K.
The guy in green and white has
been back for ages.
Dad...you got disqualified,
you
were supposed to punch AB.
Thanks for the shoes.
Bill, what was your attack point

Ah...that's how you did it...See
YOU next Sunday!!

1986 NORTH AMERICAN ORIENTEERING CHAMPIONSHIPS
DATE:
Saturday and Sunday, August 16 & 17, 1986
SITE:
130 kilometres north of Toronto, between Barrie and Orillia in Simcoe County.
TYPE:
2 Day total time, individual, cross-country point to point championships,
plus non-championship and beginner courses.
ORGANIZER: Hamilton King's Foresters Orienteering Club.
MEET DIRECTORS: Bill Stott and Earle Phillips.
MEET CONTROLLER: Malcolm Adams.
MAP:
5 colour, 1:15,000, new 1986, 5 m contours, IOF standards. Fieldwork by
Chris Robert. Artwork by Jim Waddington.
TERRAIN:
Part of a highland located to the east of Georgian Bay. Rolling hills, steep
slopes and deep depressions make it attractive for orienteering. The soil is
very sandy and drains quickly. A good balance of open hardwood forest,
reforested pine forest and semi open areas offers good variety. In some ways
similar to Barr Tract (1983 COC) but with deeper depressions and more
hardwood forest.
CHAMPIONSHIP
All official C.O.F. classes are offered.

the idea of family involvement,

delight with other people looking
for an alternative activity to
what one is conditioned to expect
in North American society.

My projected dream for this sport
has many faces and here are some
of them. Each province will have
an orienteering association, each
with many clubs and each club
with many members. Many of these
clubs will be multi-sport in
nature and will be strong enough
to support club houses with
training facilities close by.
Orienteering will be very diverIn Saskatsified across Canada.

There will be numerous officials
in each club both men and women.
Each meet will have large classes
in each age category with Women
75+ being the class with the
greatest numbers. The National
Team trials will be a prestigious
meet and each club will strive to
have worthy representation. This
will be the case far the junior
team trials as well.
Funding from Fitness and Amateur
the
Sport will be a thing of
past.
The sport will be recognized for its fitness value as
well as its other values and as
such will be a much sought after
sport for sponsors.
Each year there will be Provincial Ski-0 and Provincial Foot-0
Championships and these will
still be open to all. National
Championships may have to be
limited in some way due to the
great number of participants.
There could be championships for
various age groups.
The national teams would always
be complete and would continue to
have strong rapport within the
team as well as with all other
competing teams.
Clubs would be so active
that
they would need their own news
letters, their own coaching and
program people and mappers.
You have now thought of several
other aspects for COF 2007 so why
not write them down and submit
them to the editor. Now take
just one tiny aspect of your
vision and see what you can do
about making it happen. Between
what you write and what you start
to do who knows what COF 1987
will bring.
20TH ANNIVERSARY

ON SEEING ORANGE
Learning to slow down and look for certain colours
by Allan Gravelle
Dr. Harold Stein and Dr. Bernie
Slatt wrote several items of interest
to orienteers in their book Hitting
Blind (Musson Book Co., Don s).
TFIeTe doctors are opthalmologists
and they were writing about tennis.
The first point which caught my eye
was the following statement.
—
"Running is one of the greatest

hold a newspaper in your hand and
try to run on the spot, your ability
to read the print will be impaired.
The faster you run, the more impaired your vision. It is not possible to jog and read at the same
time."
The lesson here is; if you want
to read some detail from your map,
stop running. Visual spoilers are
running, acceleration and eye movement. By stopping, you remove one
of the major variables in blurred
vision, the moving body.
There are several styles of running.
Some people seem to glide and take
long smooth steps. Although they
move quickly, they do so smoothly
and with a minimum visual loss.
Others run like a piston, churning
up and down with maximum body displacement.
Their visual loss is
high.
A person on the move is unaware that his movements are reducing
his acuity down to partial sighted
levels. In fact, with fast running
vision drops to the level of legal
blindness! This does not mean a
loss of light perception but rather
the inability to see images at twenty
feet that a normal person can see
at 200 feet. Perhaps this explains
how children can often see the control flags so easily; they are not
moving fast. This also implies
that the orienteer should slow down
when approaching the control area.
will expand your field of vision.
This may help to explain the often
"I ran past the flag
heard remarks:
two or three times before seeing
it", or "I ran within a few feet
of the flag and didn't see it."
If you think you can see an orange
flag in your peripheral vision while
running your are fooling yourself.
The second point the authors made
concerns our ability to see colours.
Our eyes have a central vision
Our peripheral
consisting of cones.
vision is made of tiny rods.
These
rods detect only black and white
vision.
They have no colour discrimination.
The central cone of
the retina is called the macula.
The macula is proportional in size
to the retina as the area of Toronto
is to the area of Canada! This
relatively small area detects colour
and our memory recall combined
with our central visual acuity determines the colour we see. When moving
fast, the runner's visual field
contracts considerably to the runner's disadvantage.
Knowing how we see colour suggests
the possibility of training ourselves
to see the orange flag better.
I have developed a training game
which may help. When out of doors
with little else to do, exercise
your eyes by looking from right
to left through about 120 degrees.
Close your eyes and try to recall
how many orange objects you saw.
Then open your eyes and look slowly
from right to left again and note
how many orange objects you failed

natively, you may sweep your field
of vision from right to left pausing
only when an orange object is spotted. Then repeat the exercise sweeping carefully and actually searching
for orange objects. Again you will
be surprised at hcw many orange
objects you missed the first time.
I believe this exercise will help
you learn to see orange and this
should help in orienteering. If
nothing more, this exercise will
convince you that if you hope to
see the orange and white flags,
you must look slowly and carefully.
(Reprinted from IOF Report, 1984)
This means that if you are running
and looking for a small orange flag,
you should be moving your eyes all
around if you hope to detect the
orange colour which is actually
only seen by the small portion of
your field of vision.
Remember that the cone of vision
is also reduced when you run. Slowing down will also help as this

Both programs were presented by

The parents at home;

The leaders in public life.
The parents are youth-leaders if
they want it or not. Their part
is more difficult today than before because the distance between
the parents and the young people
in many cases is bigger than ever
in today's modern society.
The teacher's profession is to be
both teacher and youth-leader.
Their vocation is the development
and education of young people.
Their role is very important
because the young people of today
are in school longer than before.
Adults often complain about the
young people, yes, even Socrates
(400 years before Christ) said as
follows:
Our young people love
nothing other than
luxury and laziness. Young
men and women behave worse
than ever before. The children of our time are tyrants
over us, they are cheeky to
their parents and other
adults. they disturb every
proper conversation between
sensible people, they have

juniors) and clinics for parents.
A key to getting more people
involved in the sport's administrative assignments has been a
division
into
several
small
assignments.
However, these participants start
orienteering as a method of keeping fit, by participating in club
training sessions and by taking
part in the local club races.
They will not travel to the larger races, which leads to juniors
not regularly racing. This, in
turn, means they often lose
interest and stop orienteering.
A major reason for the family's
reluctance to participate in
races is that they may have to
drastically change their weekend
and vacation habits. Other disadvantages cited are that it is a
complicated sport for beginners
and that it is a time-demanding
activity.
It
is proposed that the clubs
must better accommodate families
and others which try the
