September 18, 2010. Highland Park.
National Orienteering Day at Highland Park
September 18, 2010

NOD- National Orienteering Day- was held on a beautiful day in Highland Park. This outstanding Park is the perfect location to introduce newcomers to the sport we love. There is the glacial moraine on the north side with great views of the City. The park is an official arboretum, so there are many trees to navigate through as well as lovely open, grassy areas. The Park also has special, sort of secret places to explore. Delineated by roads, the Park is safe yet complex enough to provide a challenge.

We had a great turnout, with 52 first-timers out of a total attendance of 191.

There were many queries about the "Mango" course. It is not listed in the IOF rules because it is an ROC creation. A "Mango" course will have mostly yellow controls with the distance of an orange course.

Two schools brought eager groups of teens, The Wilson School of Excellence Outdoor club and the Maritime charter school from Buffalo.

Keep an eye on Tyler Holmes. He missed first place on the white by 11 seconds.

Steve Tylock arranged a raffle with prizes sent to ROC from the National Organization .

We had an orienteer from Germany attend the event. Peter came with his wife who was attending the International Canal Days Conference. He was wearing his club uniform, a very nice outfit. He had contacted Carol about our club's events so that he could participate. On the theme of orienteering outfits, Tim Dobretsov was sporting a bright yellow and red shirt with his uncle's Russian club name ( in Russian, of course) The new purple, green and silver ROC shirt could be seen on many dedicated members. This certainly gives our sport of orienteering a more professional look.

The sprint was the last in the 2010 series. Awards for the sprint series in several age groups were presented by Steve Tylock. The most competitive categories were Female Open: (1) Stina Bridgeman, (2) Elspeth Ronnander, and (3) Lindsay Worner; Male Open: (1) Rob Holmes. (2) Rob Stevens, (3) Mike Lyons; M45: (1) Dick Detwiler, (2) Carl Palmer, (3) Pete Dady; M18: (1) Zack Lyons, (2) Vince Kurtz, (3) Tim Dobretsov. (See the complete results on the results page.)

Every now and them, someone picks up the wrong map. We will try hard NOT to have this happen and we apologize when it does happen.

The staff at the South Avenue Recreation Center welcome and support our NOD event, and we are very grateful to be able to use this Facility.

It takes a lot of manpower to handle the crowds we are getting and the following list of volunteers worked very hard to make this event possible and we cannot thank them enough : Don Winslow & Tom Cornell (greeters) Nancy & Richard Burgey, Rukhsana Cofer & Sandra Lomker (registration) Karl Kolva, Rick Worner & Linda Kohn (Instruction), Pete Dady, Linda Kohn, & Victor Klassen (Start/finish), Stephanie & Faith Reh (string O), Stina Bridgeman & Lindsay Worner (e punch results), Mary Kolva (delicious and nutritious refreshments), Elspeth Ronnander, Eric Pieh, Linda Kohn, Victor Klassen & Pete Dady (flag pickup), Joe Seyfried (map printing), Ravi Nareppa (e punch programming), Bob Bundy ( permits), Rob Holmes ( results typing), Steve Tylock ( PR), Rick & Dayle Lavine ( course setters & meet directors).
