Orienteering Skills Camp
The Rochester Orienteering Club and the Monroe County
Parks Department are cosponsoring an orienteering skills
camp for students. Orienteering is a growing sport that
combines map reading and running through the woods.
Numerous opportunities exist for competition in Rochester
and throughout the United States and Canada.
Two groups will be offered, both handled by certified
orienteering coaches: one for beginners and another for more
experienced orienteers. The emphasis will be on map reading
and improving orienteering skills. Although there will be lots
of physical activity, we will not emphasize physical training.
Camp date and time: June 26-28, 2002, 9 AM-3 PM daily.
Location: Mendon Ponds Park.
Registration and information: wornerkohn@aol.com or (585)
581-2979
Registration deadline: June 15,.2002
Canoe-O: Don’t miss the fun!
Put your canoe on the car and head out to Bay Creek
Paddling Center on Sunday, June 2. If you’ve never tried
canoe orienteering be prepared for a lot of fun and adventure.
We will be exploring the waterways of Irondequoit Creek
with a mass start at 12:30 p.m.
The Canoe-O will be a score-O with a two hour time limit in
which participants attempt to find as many controls as
possible. Extra points will be awarded for style (how you and
your vessel look), praising the meet organizers, and
environmentally friendly behavior (collecting garbage).
Canoes and kayaks are available for rent at Bay Creek. Call
ahead (585) 288-2830 to reserve your battle cruiser. Anchors
away!
Teacher Workshop
The workshop is designed for teachers who are interested in
using orienteering to teach skills in science, social studies,
physical education, and math. Separate groups will focus on
activities appropriate to grade level to meet the specific
needs of workshop participants.
This is a “hands-on” workshop that will prepare teachers to
use orienteering in their classes. Each participant will come
away with:
1) a short video about orienteering;
2) the book Map Activities for the Classroom by Meg
Garrett;
3) experience participating in sample orienteering events and
samples of maps;
4) experience setting up activities for their class;
5) complimentary membership in the ROC for one year;
6) school discount at ROC events;
7) assistance in preparing a schoolyard map of their school
and assistance preparing and holding events for their classes.
Date and time:September 14, 2002, 9AM-5PM.
Location: Webster Park, Parkview lodge.

General information on local meets
Courses
The club this year will use the USOF “color” designations wherever applicable.
A description of the courses is as follows:
Color White Yellow Orange Green Red Blue
Approx. distance 1.5 km 2.5 km 3.5 km 4.5 km 6.5 km 9.0 km
Difficulty Easiest Easy Moderate Hard Hard Hard
The White course is intended to be easy enough for first-time participants after
a short introduction to the sport. Control points are generally on trails or
similarly easy-to-locate features.
The Yellow course is slightly more difficult than the White course. Control
points are generally placed close to but not right at easy-to-find features, such
as on a knoll that is 50 m away from a trail junction.
The Orange course requires more map-reading and course-planning skills than
the Yellow course. Controls will generally have a good attack point, but the
attack point may be more subtle than on the Yellow course, or the control will
be placed further from the attack point. The route choice from one control to the
attack point for the next control is often less obvious than on the Yellow course.
The Green, Red, and Blue courses differ from each other only in length. At
local parks, they are usually the most difficult course that can be set given the
size and the terrain of the park. Map-reading, compass, and route-planning
skills will be tested to a greater degree on this course.
Sometimes other courses may be offered, such as a Motala (a course which
involves one or more map exchanges), or a Line-O or Score-O. These courses
will be explained in the meet instructions at any meet which uses these formats.
Fees
The entry fees to ROC meets are $3.00 per map for ROC members and $5.00
per map for non-members. If several people (a family group for example) enter
as a group using the same map, the fee is still $3.00 (members) or $5.00 (nonmembers).
A person or group can do a second course using the same map for
no additional charge (if you complete the Short course and decide to try the
Medium course, for example).
Beginner instruction
Beginners are always welcome; there is an informal beginners’ clinic
approximately 15 minutes after the beginning of the event, and all meets offer a
course suitable for beginning orienteers.

Chilling Reflections on West Point
by Carol Moran
Kathy Bannister, Marie Kuipers and I had a great
time at the West Point Meet, despite the weather
conditions. Since we were the first people to show up we
volunteered to help the Cadets stuff race packets. Little did
we know that we would be working in an unheated
barracks building. The outside temperatures were only in
the 30's and the tin building was not much warmer. We
staked our claim for beds in the "Single Female" barracks,
where we could see our breath in the air inside! We
decided to head to the nearby outlet mall to get warmed
up. My Woolrich store purchases; polarfleece pants, shirt
and socks, became my wardrobe staples for the weekend!

luxury accommodations at West Point
After some dinner we headed back to Camp
Natural Bridge. The unheated tin gathering hall required a
dress code of multiple layers in order to read and socialize
in "comfort". Bedtime routine required some planning. The
women's latrine was two buildings away, so we had to
collect our toiletries and trek over there before retiring for
the night. Clad in multiple layers and a polarfleece hat, I
climbed into my sleeping bag, supplemented by a
polarfleece blanket. (Notice how the word polarfleece
keeps popping up) I was surprisingly comfortable in my
cocoon despite the fact that it got down into the 20's that
night and snowed.
After a frigid 6:30 am breakfast we took an
invigorating ride in a canvas-covered personnel carrier to
the meet start. I did pretty well on my course, and made no
mistakes, always a cause for celebration! It snowed while
we were out competing, but it wasn't too bad. We rode
another truck back to the Camp, enjoyed hot showers, then
fell into our nightly routine of shopping, eating, and
socializing in multiple layers of clothing. Another frigid
night and breakfast, and then we were off for Sunday's
race. Kathy was having trouble with pain in her leg, but
she valiantly went out and did her course anyhow. I did
okay for 3/4 of my course, then made a major error which
resulted in me climbing down a mountain, then back up
and down again in order to find my flag. Needless to say,
this extra climbing added significantly to my time. I later
found out that I actually won a Second place medal, which
means somebody must have done worse then me!
After we finished we hit the showers again, then
packed up and headed home. All things considered, it was
a great weekend, and I am really glad I went. I had
approached the trip with some trepidation, since it was the
first time I had been to West Point without my husband
Tom, who passed away in 1999. However, once we got
underway, the easy conversation and comraderie took over
and I enjoyed myself. My friend Pege Brooks was also not
able to attend the meet due to illness, so to honor her and
Tom, I had made pins with their pictures, which I wore
while competing. Pege had jokingly told me I was
supposed to run (she is a better athlete than I am), so I ran
to the finish line chanting "Tom and Pege" to myself as I
pushed myself to finish strong.
It was a great combination of talking, laughing,
competing, and shopping, and it was definitely worth
putting up with the cold and Spartan accomodations. It was
wonderful to see so many people of all different ages
enjoying orienteering at this event, and it was certainly a
memorable adventure!

Meet Karl Kolva
by Laurie Salladin
This article opens a series of sketches featuring most noticeable Club members. Do you have a
suggestion regarding our next hero Send it to Laurie Salladin at salladin@fromtiernet.net
Photo by R. Salladin.
If you’re new to the sport of orienteering and you
show up at a ROC meet, chances are you’ll get your first
lesson from Karl Kolva. “Just go see that man in the khaki
hat,” directs the registrar. “He’ll teach you what you need
to know to get started.” Karl, at age 79, is a testament to
the statement that orienteering is a sport for all ages. After
instructing crowds of newcomers on the basics, Karl will
head out, map in hand, and be at the finish line before
many of his younger counterparts.
Karl’s orienteering career began in 1976 when he
accompanied his 13 year old son to a meet in St.
Catherine’s, Ontario. He recalls that he did an Orange
course and his son did a Yellow and they each came in
second place. An active Scout, Karl created a map of
Camp Cutler for orienteering purposes a short time later.
Since that time Karl has orienteered his way across the
United States and Canada, placing first, second or third in
at least half of the meets in which he competed. His name
can also be found on most maps produced by the
Rochester Orienteering Club for his work in drafting and
field checking.
It’s only natural that Karl would become an
accomplished orienteer. He grew up on a farm north of
Harrisburg, Pa., and would disappear for hours of hiking
without telling anyone. He knew the whereabouts of
anything edible and was comfortable in field and forest.
When he became eligible for the draft during WW II, Karl
enlisted in the Air Force’s Aviation Cadet Program. Radio
navigation equipment had not yet been developed so he
learned how to navigate in the air by looking at the ground
and by computing flight times and distances. Recalled to
active duty during the Korean War, he flew over the
Phillipine Islands as part of a photomapping squadron. In
Tokyo he later learned the process of creating the maps
and the complex procedures of converting the aerial
photographs to contour lines. On his return, Karl worked
as a mechanical engineer for Eastman Kodak and became
familiar with the tools of drafting.
Karl retired in 1983, and spent many years
traveling to A Meets, sometimes doing as many as ten a
year. His favorite meet took place in Alaska in 1994,
where he placed first in the M65 category. The grasses
reached as tall as he was, and the glacial terrain was just
“his cup of tea”. His most challenging course took place at
Sand Hills, Minnesota, which he calls “a spectacular
failure,” finding himself completely off the map in a
recently logged area.
Today Karl is spending more time with another
type of map in his hand. He has been participating in
Elderhostel programs, traveling throughout Europe. He
recently did a service project at a Navajo School in
Flagstaff, Arizona. Karl also spends his time doing field
checking and promoting orienteering education in the
community.
The next time you take a map in hand, check the
fine print. Chances are you’ll have Karl to thank when you
find that reentrant you’re searching for!

2001 Fall Classic
An Insider’s Look
What do the organizers of last autumn’s ROC-sponsored
A-Meet recall about the meet Kerstin Gunter interviewed
few key people to find it out.
Well, probably the backbreaking work, months of
coordination, and stress headaches they almost certainly
suffered the night before, but they don’t talk about that
today. Rick Worner, the Meet Director, remembers that
there were a lot of people who worked together to create a
very successful event. Even the weather was beautiful --- a
circumstance never to be taken for granted (who hasn’t
experienced the thrill of running through thick
undergrowth with an extra pound of rain water in his
shorts). Dick Detwiler, the Registrar, mentions meeting
competitors from all over the U.S. and Canada, even a
couple from California who flew in “just for the meet.”
Almost 290 entrants completed courses, both competitive
and recreational, on October 20 and 21, 2001.
Technically the meet went off very well, Worner
says; no one protested a control and no one got hurt or lost
(for very long). The course offerings were similar to
1999’s A-meet, including white through blue courses, the
most popular choices being red and green. The coursesetters
were Sergey Dobretsov, Kathy Bannister, and Linda
Kohn.
Kathy Bannister and Kay Sheehan’s Saturday
night lasagna dinner was a success (as usual). This year
featured a twist: the Junior Team organized a special
version of Bing-“O” that used orienteering symbols instead
of the customary numbers. They did well, and were able to
keep the proceeds for their own activities.
Due to the success of the past two A-meets, Rick
notes that the club has begun planning to put in a bid in for
another A-meet in the spring or fall of 2003 at Mendon
Ponds Park. Anyone interested in pitching in
I Fought the Swamp, and the Swamp
Won ...
Dick Detwiler who beside being the Registrar also
participated in the meet shares his experience.
I had a rather unusual orienteering experience on
Saturday at Letchworth. I lost a shoe in a mucky area. By
losing a shoe, I don't mean that it came off, I put it back on
again, and continued on my way, losing a minute or two
and getting covered with mud. I mean "lost" as in not
being able to find it!
I did the Green-X course, went thought the first
five controls pretty solidly although slowly (the slow part
being normal for me). The lost shoe incident happened as I
was looking for #6, when I went to hop over a small ditch;
the landing area on the other side was soft mud. My
momentum caused me to land on my left foot with a fair
amount of force, and then quickly shift my weight to my
right foot, pulling the left foot up quickly. When I did that,
I found that I had left my shoe behind. I started back to
retrieve the shoe; as I did, my right foot sank quite a ways
in, and then my left foot (now just with a sock on) sank in;
it felt a bit like quicksand although I can't say I know for
sure because I don't think I've ever experienced quicksand.
When I got back to where my left foot had
landed, I found about four very deep footprints ... I was not
the only one to set foot in this muck. The shoe was
nowhere in sight. No big problem, I thought, I'll check
each footprint, must be buried in one of them. I dug down
with my hand into the mud, down to and below the bottom
of each footprint, and could NOT feel a shoe. I went
around again, checking each footprint; still no shoe. I think
took a stick and began digging deeper into each print.
Finally, I was out of ideas and gave up.
I was about 3 km from the start (could have been
worse I realize!). I was also close to a major trail. I made
my way back to the trail OK, a few stones I stepped on
which were painful but not too bad. The trail, although a
wide, flat trail, was cindered in spots, and also had many
areas covered with acorns … not a great surface to walk on
with no shoe! I think it took me about an hour to walk back
to the assembly area; very painfully in many spots.
The good news is that I didn't sustain any injury
to my foot; was able to run the next day and not even
notice that I had been through that ordeal the day before!
Also, the shoes I had on were worn-out running shoes,
which had had a long and useful life, so there was no
significant equipment loss. (Other than the gaitor where
the shoelaces had ripped out the place where they lace
through the gaitor!)
The most interesting comment later was from a
fellow ROC member, who asked me: "So, did you just
drop out and head back, or did you try to finish the
course" Finishing the course, at a rugged place like
Letchworth, with only one shoe, never even crossed my
mind!

New and Improved Letchworth
Permanent Course
By Tom Cornell, ROC permanent course coordinator
The revised Letchworth West permanent course is now in
place and map kits are available. The course is printed on
the new, larger format (1:10000) map. The park authorities
have given us permission to go "off trail" and use more
interesting features. Ten new controls have been added
which should make the course much more challenging. All
the controls on the old map will be in place for at least two
years.
These changes would not have been possible without the
help and cooperation of Douglas Bassett, the park
naturalist, Kathy Bannister, and Tom and Mike Witzel.
Kathy field-checked all of my proposed control locations
before approaching the park authorities for permission to
use them. Doug visited every site and, with a few
recommendations, approved them all. Tom and Mike
helped me tote the 60 pounds of installation equipment and
plant the control posts.
Permanent courses have fixed control-posts that remain in
place year round. These courses are a great way to learn
(or teach) the basic concepts of orienteering and also
explore areas in the park normally not seen. Children have
a lot of fun being the first to see the control, while adults
find this leisurely approach a good way to develop their
skills in a less intimidating atmosphere than a regular club
meet. The course may be completed in several trips to the
park as there is no designated order or time limit. The
map-kits contain a map with marked control locations, a
sheet of helpful information, clues, and a punchcard for
recording the control code-letter as they are visited. The
card, when completed, can be mailed to the club for a
certificate and coupon that can be used for a club event or
towards a club membership. Besides Letchworth, the club
currently maintains courses in Durand Eastman and
Mendon Ponds County Parks.

Team Building with Orienteering
By Jim Tappon
On Thursday, April 11, I organized an orienteering team
building exercise for about 32 members of the Kodak
Corporate Quality group. They had indoor development
workshops during the morning at Camp Eastman. I joined
them for lunch and presented a brief overview of
orienteering and a review of the map legend using the
Durand-Eastman permanent Orienteering Course (20
minutes). After that, we car-pooled over to the east side of
Durand (we ended up parking near the old zoo because
Log Cabin Rd was closed. Teams of 4 (since this was a
team-building effort) were sent off in 3 different directions
to get them going different ways to locate as many of the
permanent controls as possible in 90 minutes. They all
found their way back (a couple groups a little late, but all
happy - except for a few sore feet and legs). The day was
a huge success - everyone had fun and there was a lot of
discussion about how groups had navigated from control to
control!

Badgerow Park
April 27, 2002
Second event of the season celebrated brand new map
created by Linda Kohn. Despite the small size of the park,
thick vegetation and large number of trails made the
courses quite challenging to ensure satisfaction of 125
orienteers who came to Greece on a nice and sunny day.
Many of the participants were able to complete more than
one course, some did all four courses. We also think that
we have in place a new, streamlined registration system
that we hope will get people out quicker.
Meet director: Rick Worner
Map maker and course setter: Linda Kohn
Map printer: Jim Russell
Registration: Carol Moran, Elaine Berner, Kathy Reich
Control pickup: Lora Semple, Toni Lantz, Chris Seoud-
McKee, Chris Semple, Teri Dahrone, Rick Lavine, Dayle
Lavine.
Start/Finish: Jim Tappon, Rick Lavine, Jim Lavine, Dick

If you were born in...
June: You find it difficult to take control of a situation. It's
time to make a decision about the path you want to choose in
life. GO forward to finish any courses you are taking. This is
no time to retrace your steps.
July: In financial matters avoid the Earth Bank. You will
map out a new strategy in your love life. Some things are
worth the fight. Consider changes of vegetation in your diet
to improve your stamina.
August: The beach is a good place to examine contours.
Someone in your life will saddle you with responsibilities. A
spur of the moment decision will bring you bad luck.
Consider a trip to the Orient this month.
