MONTHLY MEETING Thursday, July 12, 2012 7:00 pm

WE ARE A CLUB DEVOTED TO PHYSICAL FITNESS, ATHLETIC COMPETITION,HEALTH, AND FELLOWSHIP.

- Polly Corvaia, President

found beer cans in the trash and contacted the club and warned us. We were automatically guilty in their eyes. We stand to lose the privilege of using those parks. DON’T LET THAT HAPPEN. We all enjoy a cold brew after a run but club policy is to follow all the rules of the our host location. Thanks in advance for cooperating.

Please support the club by running or volunteering at the Grings Mill Run 5k, 10k and 1/2m kids run on August 5th at 9:00 A.M. We need vols early for set up, registration, water stops and after the race for the big clean up. We promise you the best pork buffet you ever had and live music too! Contact race direc-tor Jeff Hills or Mike Reece and let them know when you can help.

Have a wonderful summer everyone and enjoy every fast minute of it.

On a serious note, as a club we are responsible to be aware of the rules of the parks and recreation areas that we run in and follow those rules. They are often posted at the site and can be found on-line too. Park officials have repeatedly scolded us and we have been eliminated from one of the parks. If we want to enjoy running and racing in these locations we must follow their rules, NO EXCUSES.

Dogs may or may not be permitted at some locations and alcohol is prohib-ited at all or most trail heads and parks. Don’t open beer at these places, wait till we get to the post run location. Our past reputation precedes us and because of that, parks have their “radar” on us. We have also been accused of having alcohol on their property even at times when we didn’t. Nolde and Blue Marsh

I read this great conversation on the pacer facebook page and it is worth sharing again: Tuesday Night Trail Run: An 8 mile "point to point" run from Church Road to the Stilling Basin (Blue Marsh).

Are slow people allowed? When you say you are ‘slow’, do you mean compared to the 93% of people who can’t run a mile without stopping, or the majority of Americans who never exercise? There is no such thing as a slow runner…the only way you could be too slow is to not run at all. It would be awesome if you, and anyone else who is interested, joined us. Happy Running.

30 Years and Running

Rules and regulations established by the PA Game Commission apply to all persons using state game lands including runners, hikers, birders, photographers, and nature lovers. Just like the local police, who may or may not enforce certain regu-lation such as the 25 mph speed limit, Game Land regulations may or may not be regularly enforced (such as the Buzzards trail marathon). Make no mistake about it, there are times when enforcement occurs and it is the purpose of this story.

The regulations were established for several reasons by the commission. They include: to protect the interests of the sports-men and women whose license fees are used (general fund tax money is not used by the Game Commission) to purchase the land, protect it from misuse, maintain its condition, and maintain access; to provide for the safety of all persons who use the properties for any purpose; and to protect the resources from degradation.

Below are only some of the more notable regulations that the reader should be aware of. Fines for a violation start at $100.00 plus administrative fees and go up from there. It is by no means a complete listing of those governing activities on PA State Game Lands and more information is available on the PA Game Commission website.

Unlawful acts:

No camping: It is unlawful to camp or use campsites on any PA Game Land except on the Appalachian Trail with the following restrictions: • Overnight at a distance more than 200 feet from the designated trail. • More than one night at the same location. • Within 500 feet of a spring, stream or public access area.

• No swimming: It is unlawful to swim in a dam, pond, lake or stream.

• No alcohol: It is unlawful to consume, possess or transport any alcohol, liquor, beer, malt or brewed alcoholic beverage.

• No target shooting: It is unlawful to target shoot with firearms, bows and arrows or devices capable of launching projectiles in a manner that could cause injury to persons or property, or on areas posted closed to those activities.

• No activity involving more than 10 people without a permit: It is unlawful to engage in an activity or event involving more than ten persons, which may conflict with the intended purposes or uses as defined in section 722 of the act (relating to use of property), or poses a potential environmental or safety problem.

• No bikes, horses, snowmobiles, etc.: It is unlawful to ride a motorized vehicle, nonmotorized (such as a mountain bike), or animal. Under the new regulations, anyone who rides a motorized, non-motorized vehicle, conveyance or animal on State Game Lands must do so only on designated routes. Such riding activities will not be permitted, except on Sundays or on roads open to public travel, from the last Saturday in September to the third Saturday in January, and after 1 p.m. from the second Saturday in April to the last Saturday in May. For each region, there is a list of designated routes. These route designations, which total more than 1,000 miles, are in compliance with State Game Lands use regulations that went into effect on February 1, 2003.

• And here is one that I was unaware of: Except on Sundays, it is unlawful to be present on State Game Lands from November 15 through December 15 inclusive when not engaged in lawful hunting or trapping AND fail to wear a minimum of 250 square inches of daylight fluorescent orange-colored material on the head, chest and back combined or, in lieu thereof, a hat of the same colored material. The material shall be worn so it is visible in a 360° arc. This means everyone must wear fluorescent orange from Nov. 15-Dec. 15 when on State Game Land. Got orange??

None of these regulations are terribly onerous, but they do restrict certain outdoor activities, most for understandable reasons. I don’t like the alcohol restriction in general, but fully understand that alcohol and firearms are a dangerous combination. I also understand that none of my tax money goes to acquiring and managing the lands. I appreciate that the purchase of these tracks prevents them from being turned into housing developments and am grateful it that they are open for all to use, not just people who pursue wild game.

Just wondering though, if every runner, hiker, birder, and mountain biker bought a hunting license, would we have more say on how these properties are managed?

PA STATE GAMELAND RULES by: Peter Belanger

Thank you to everyone that volunteered at the Charlie Horse. Every one of the 35 volunteers was needed due to the high heat and humidity. You allowed the race to be completed without incidence. Your help was very much appreciated. If you volunteered and did not receive a Charlie Horse shirt or bottle please let me know. I would like to give special thanks to all those who stayed after the race to help clean and hauled the supplies back to the shed. You saved me a lot of time and efforts.

I would also like to call out all the outside organizations that helped with the race. Every year Eshelman Transportation donates 4-5 buses and drivers to transport the runners to the start. Without this donation the race would not be position. Thank you to the Geigertown fire police and the Robeson Township police who ensure the safety of the runners by manning road crossings at route 10 and Mullen Hollow Road. Finally thank you to the Reading Muhlenberg Career & Tech-nology Center (RMCTC) welding students. The RMCTC welding school volunteered their skills to assist in making the Charlie Horse awards.

CHARLIE HORSE HALF MARATHONThis year’s Charlie Horse was a successful event with approximately 200 runners. Together the Pagoda Pacers raised $2,500 to benefit Berks County Special Olympics. This amount was allowed by the club’s decision to donate all profits from the race and a donation from KAM Specialties. KAM Specialties also manned the cooling station on the course (the tractor that was shooting people with a hose).

turning to almost exclusively running in 2007.Was I a jock in H.S:Tracey: Hmmmm, should have been. I was very athletic and played hard ball on all boys team 10-12 years old, but sadly never ended up playing H.S sports. Michael: Yes, I was a jock in high school. I ran cross coun-try and track and also played ice hockey.MY INSPIRATION IS:Tracey: Anyone who goes against the ODDS and comes out on TOP. J Especially when everyone tells them they CAN’T DO IT. Amy Palmiro-Winters is my HERO! As is Bryan Boyle!Michael: Still has to be Dave Wottle who won the 800m at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games with an incredible come

or just enjoy the sounds of our surroundings. Michael: Not much! When I’m in the zone during a road run alone I sometimes lose track of the miles and just get in a groove. I really do enjoy the peacefulness of running!I FEEL THIS, ABOUT HILLS:Tracey: BRING ‘EM ON! Michael: LOVE ‘EM!DO YOU PREFER LONG, SLOW RUNS OR DO YOU PREFER FAST, HARD ONES:Tracey: Well, if it’s on a track, or TM, then fast ones, but
