Happily I whistled and snapped my fingers as I moved along the pathway.

North Gaston Wildcats played host to the Kings Mountain Mountaineers friday night in Big South conference action. Kings Mountin, currently ranked #1 in NCHSAA 3A standings wasted no time by scoring on the opening kickoff on their way to a 56-0 victory.

My mother, on the left, is in her Talbot Heath school uniform. My late Uncle Geoffrey is on the right, with my Grandmother in the centre, standing at the side of "Forest View".
In an attempt to not only keep one or both of us awake on the way up, but to also express the actual road trip in a not-so-monotonous way, I decided a time-lapse needed to be made of the drive up. It starts on July 3rd just north of Austin, goes through Dallas, eastern Oklahoma, Missouri, and along a bit of Route 66 in Illinois as well, ending just outside of Chicago on the afternoon of July 4th. And, of course, we used the easiest camera available - my iPhone.
This is a tinted photograph of "Forest View" in the 1930s: the house in which my mother was born. To the right is "Overdale", then occupied by the Chadwicks.
The longer of the Forestview Trails near O'Leary, PEI, does a nice 5 km loop through the forest. Near the end of that loop the trail parallels the beautiful Carruthers Brook ("Carruthersei Jipjij" in the Mi'kmaq language).
Having now walked this trail from end to end, I was thoroughly impressed by the natural beauty I witnessed. I can only imagine a time, before agriculture, paved roads, and European style housing came to PEI, when much of the island would have looked like area crisscrossed by the Forestview trails. It certainly would explain why Jaques Cartier referred to the land in the way he did when he first spotted the coast on June 29th, 1534, noting it as, "the finest land you can imagine". A place, "Full of fine meadows and trees"

The Polar Bear Bike Ride started off at Forestview High School today. Funny name for it seeing as how it was a wonderful 71 degrees out today. I don't think they'll be seeing any polar bears as they bike their 50 miles....

Seminar audience hears low levels of physical activity in Ireland are contributing to serious long term health problems
Delegates attending a public health seminar today learned that low levels of physical activity are contributing to long term health problems. The comments were made by Professor James Sallis, Director of Active Living Research and Professor at San Diego State University and Ms Teresa Lavin, Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH), at a seminar jointly hosted by IPH and the UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (Northern Ireland).
The seminar looked at why levels of physical activity are low in Ireland. It focused on how the built environment influences opportunities for being active.
Ms Lavin said: “Enhancing opportunities for physical activity is essential. Across Ireland levels of physical activity are low which has many implications for public health. While there are many reasons for low levels of physical activity one important factor is how the built environment is designed and maintained – this in turn facilitates how we move around our environment.
“We need to create more roads and pathways suited to cycling and walking as well as quality green spaces to encourage people to take physical exercise. We need to locate shops and services – such as schools – nearer to housing schemes and ensure road systems within these estates are engineered to reduce car dependency.”
Ms Lavin continued: “A recent IPH study forecasts a dramatic 40% increase in the number of people living with hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes in the Republic of Ireland by 2020. It is essential we reverse this trend and one way is by creating environments which are conducive to physical activity such as walking and cycling.
“To enable this to happen, there is a real need for intersectoral action – involving public health specialists, local authorities, developers and construction professionals such as architects, engineers and planners – to enhance opportunities for physical activity in the built environment across the population and especially for vulnerable groups.
“For example, in Ireland, half as many girls aged 15-17 as boys of the same age are likely to exercise four or more times weekly. Unfortunately, this trend continues through to adulthood and we need to develop specific strategies to tackle this issue.”
Professor Sallis has pioneered an extensive research programme into the environmental and policy influences on physical activity, nutrition and obesity in the United States and said: “Physical activity is a key risk factor for chronic disease; other high risk factors include poverty, unemployment, the environment, smoking, alcohol consumption and diet. The reality is that these factors are distributed unevenly across society. Ensuring that all neighbourhoods have safe and attractive places for physical activity and have shops that sell affordable healthy foods is one way to reduce these inequalities.”
Dr Mark Tully, UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (NI) who is leading a large research project on the benefits of green space to health and wellbeing said: “The visit of Prof Sallis to Ireland is very timely. We have been inspired by his research to continue our efforts to develop research into how we can help increase levels of physical activity through designing more attractive environments that support the messages our health professionals are promoting.”

My mother on her Shetland pony, imaginatively named "Black Beauty", at the side of Forest View with Probyn the gardener who accompanyied her to and from school. Note the open countryside behind - all built over long since.
Hopefully no one would arrive trying to find the hostel as the YHA logo was completely hidden. (Not surprisingly, we were the only residents that night...)
Some hours later having rested, showered, eaten and drunk a beer or three from the hostel's well stocked beer cabinet, Catherine checked the forecast. Apparently the weather warnings of snow had been upgraded to severe... Outside little looked different. We would have to wait and see...
