Gearing Up for the 5th Annual Wasaga Film Festival WASAGA BEACH - August 10th - Excitement is in the air for the upcoming 5th Annual Wasaga Film Festival (WFF). A new revamped marketing approach and website reflecting the growth of the annual film festival.

We have expanded our regional footprint to South Georgian Bay. We have put the Wasaga Film Festival (WFF) on the map! We are now listed on the Canadian Film Festival List, acknowledged by Simcoe County and RT07 Tourism and have partnered with REEL Canada as a contributor. On April 29th, 2015 WFF participated in bringing to our community National Canadian Day in partnership with Waterside Retirement Lodge, Mountain Goat Film Company and REEL Canada. We featured our 4th Annual Wasaga Film Festival Platinum Award Winner Entries as well as a special documentary presentation film of "Behind The Red Carpet - TIFF" from our local film director, editor and producer, Tom Strnad of Mountain Goat Film Company.

We have created additional categories such as Young Film/Video Maker (ages 1017) and Animation to appeal to mainstream film enthusiasts and attract more visitors to our area.

Last season we received a total of 57 submissions at our Fourth Annual Wasaga Film Festival and qualified 46 of them. Films/Videos were received from Wasaga Beach, Tiny Township, Stratford, Barrie, Collingwood, Nottawa, Midland, Ottawa, Toronto, British Columbia, Newfoundland, United States of America, Australia, Israel, Egypt, United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan.

Our next challenge in our Fifth Season, involves a goal to DOUBLE last season's entries and expand our public view and vote to venues throughout our community prior to our Red Carpet Gala Awards while attracting more tourists that will stay overnight in our town to take in the festivities.

Expect to see more training provided for filmmakers in our area that will be hosted by the WFF in the near future with award film companies.Our goal is to attract film trainees that will bring their families to our area to enjoy the attractions while they take part in film training activities.

In our efforts to lay roots, we have embarked on incorporating a non-profit charitable organization that will not only support the Wasaga Film Festival but open opportunities to develop a home for the film festival and other arts and cultural groups in our community. The new incorporated entity will support the arts across the South Georgian Bay region while helping to develop the art community in Wasaga Beach thrive in film, dance, art, music, theatre and all art forms encompassing the performing arts.

One of its key goals will also be to attract visitors from across the world to attend events and attractions held by the centre to bolster the local tourism industry and the local economy.

The new organization also intends to feature monthly exhibitions of traditional and contemporary art from local and regional artists and artisans. It plans to host routine film festival programs, an annual regional awards film gala, film training, lectures, community talks, art presentations, musical performances, dance performances, dance training, Wasaga Community Theatre productions, theatre rehearsals, poetry readings, musicals and workshops.

GOALS FOR THE WASAGA FILM FESTIVAL: To build a unique film festival platform that fosters creativity and innovation and a channel for people to tell their stories.

To promote Wasaga Beach as a focal point for arts and cultural activity in the Southern Georgian Bay Area.

To engage Wasaga Beach and area businesses in developing their own business through helping Wasaga Film Festival grow and progress with every coming year.

To create access to independent voices and new stories within our Southern Georgian Bay Communities and enrich them through our relationship with festival entrants and partners.

To help grow an independent film community and foster collaboration of the film industry in Southern Georgian Bay. SHARE OUR VISION AND GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR: "Bringing the World to Wasaga Beach through a shared passion for film and the power of storytelling."

Deadline for submissions is November 27th, 2015 for our 5th Annual Wasaga Film Festival culminating January 23rd, 2016 at the RecPlex. There are no entry fees.

Sweet Moroccan Style Chicken Stew Cinnamon, Prunes and apricots are the soul of this stew, providing a sweetness that goes well with the chicken and beans. Add a little cayenne if you prefer it a bit spicier.

2 tsp olive oil 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 Tbsp tomato paste 2 tbsp chicken stock 1 tbsp minced garlic 1 medium sized carrot sliced 1 leek white and pale green parts thinly sliced 1 small red pepper diced 1 cup garbanzo beans drained and rinsed 3/4 cups dried apricots cut in 1/2 1/2 cup dried prunes cut in 1/2 1 10 oz can tomato sauce 3 tbsp Cilantro leaves chopped Heat oil over medium heat in a large sauce pan. Cook the chicken until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cinnamon and cook for about 1 minute.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook stirring occasionally until the stew turns deep brown. About 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and cook stirring to deglaze the pan. Stir in the garlic carrot, leek and pepper until the vegetables are soft. Stir in the chick peas, apricots and prunes.

Add the tomato sauce, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 20 minutes. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

This dish is excellent with Couscous and a small morrocan salad Couscous 1 1/2 cup couscous 2 3/4 cups chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon salt In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add salt and stir. Add couscous and remove from heat and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.

Couscous should be light and fluffy, not gummy. Be sure to allow the couscous to absorb the water Pomegranate and Orange Salad 1 large bunch spinach 3 oranges 1 large pomegranate 1/2 small onion sliced paper thin 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, plus sprigs for garnish sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

2 tablespoons lemon juice or 2 tablespoons wine vinegar 8 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, chopped 1⁄2 teaspoon sweet red peppers or 1⁄2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika 1⁄8 teaspoon hot red pepper or 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne salt and black pepper 4 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped 4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped Cut the top and bottom off of the oranges.

Today was the absolute worst day ever And don’t try to convince me that There’s something good in every day Because, when you take a closer look, This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if Some goodness does shine through once in a while Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.

And it’s not true that It’s all in the mind and heart Because True happiness can be obtained Only if one’s surroundings are good It’s not true that good exists I’m sure you can agree that The reality Creates My attitude It’s all beyond my control And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that Today was a good day Now read from bottom to top

Swedish Heartthrob Endigo Overworld's music video “My Reality” is reaching over 233,000 views on You Tube to date.

This music video won the 2013 Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival International Platinum Award. After 21/2 years Swedish heartthrob vocalist, Endigo left Overworld.“It was time to move on to try and pursue other projects. I learned so much and met so many people through Overworld. Of course the Overworld guys are fantastic people and very talented musicians. I wouldn't trade these years for anything but for me I was kind of heading in a different musical direction compared to the band. I wasn't into that super heavy metal anymore and want to see what else I can accomplish,” said Endigo.

Endigo is actively promoting his latest band “Nanda”.

This band is formed of Endigo and Kitcha (former Crestillion), both members often referred to as “creating something else” of the new electro/comedy duo. According to their website the best way to understand “Nanda” a Japanese word meaning “What?” is by watching their music videos. “When something weird happens in Japan they shout 'Nanda' kind of a parody pop Japanese nerd but more Japanese culture oriented,” said Endigo. The pair toured cities and countries performing at various venues while increasing their worldwide fanbase.

In 2014 DarkBad was founded paving the way for creative ideas and productions. The twosome recorded “vlogs” and “YouTube” shows and hosted successful “livestreams”. Social media plays an important part in promoting their music work.

Recently signed up to “Splay” Sweden's biggest YouTube Multi Channel Network (MCN) is the leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment content with more than 120 million monthly views and 14 million subscribers. Endigo noticed a tremendous increased with influential online stars in the Nordics. As far as developing other avenues on YouTube, he shared this exclusive statement on beachboosterradio.com: “I would love to host a 'weekly video game news show', very specific discussing the week's news of videogames not just about the games but what is happening in the industry between the studios and publishers very technical. I have a passion for that kind of stuff?”

His latest single “One Last Verse” released July 10th was written, performed and produced by Endigo.

“The lyrics are kind of a mix some of the lyrics represent figuratively being on stage and leaving the stage like the show must go on. Being on stage is the only time you feel alive in the spotlight in front of all these people no matter how you feel back home when you're up there that's all it really matters. You need to be a touring artist to truly appreciate the lyrics,” expressed Endigo. He recommends reading the lyrics available on YouTube.

As far as plans to travel North America, Endigo hopes for 2016. He's never been outside of Europe and would like to visit both North America and Asia.

For information on Endigo visit darkbad.com/endigo for a complete list of YouTube series, affiliated artists and solo projects and Facebook: endigoskybord.com.

ŸI will be sooooooo glad when this day is over....OH wait! I sell

real estate it doesn't end. ŸI wear a ski mask to bed so if there's a home invasion the intruder will think I'm part of the team. ŸSadly,,, If your neighbor has wind chimes you have wind chimes. ŸHey guys, If your girlfriend/wife or both has a friend that annoys you, don't tell her to stop being friends with her. Just casually mention how pretty she is. ŸWhen I go running, I usually meet new people..... like paramedics. ŸI'm getting really tired of having to remind my wife she's happily married. ŸWhen parents on Facebook post about how they can't believe their kid is going into whatever grade, write "No way! I thought for sure he'd be held back!" ŸIf they elect Donald Trump for president, there will be hell toupee... ŸJust for fun, next time you see a snooty, rich woman at the grocery store, ask her if she works there. ŸDiet status: Discovered today that a Pringles can fits exactly into the cup holders of my Mustang . ŸPeople are really judgmental. I can tell just by looking at them. ŸOut of all the lies I've told, "Just kidding" is my favorite. ŸDiet goal: I want to lose just enough so that my hand will fit comfortably in a Pringles can... ŸIf you get Mickey Mouse ears at Disney World, what do you get at Dollywood? ŸWhen buying a flat screen tv, always remember to put the box in your neighbor's trash so you don't get robbed. ŸExpecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian. ŸCould you imagine if guys commented on their guy friends' profiles the way girls do? "Bro, you look so handsome" "Looking hot, man!" "OMG, your jawline is cray" "Ugh, how are you this perfect dude? I'm jelly" "sexy much?!” ŸSo, I bought a wok to cook healthy food and I have to say, these french fries don't taste any different. ŸHey ladies. If he buys your drink, but you're really not interested?

Smile at him, thank him and then stick the olive up your nose. ŸA police officer called the station on his radio. "I have an interesting case here. An old lady shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped." "Have you arrested the woman?"

"Not yet. The floor's still wet.” ŸI'm sure alcohol creates more people than it kills. ŸTexting while driving was twice as dangerous when I was in school because the typewriter could slip off your lap and apply the brake.

A new brand, a new website and we are growing.

If you go to www.wasagafilmfest.com you can now upload your latest film/video entry for the 5th annual Wasaga Film Festival.

Entries (no entry fees), will be accepted until November 27, 2015. We have started to receive entries and hope to bring to Wasaga Beach another collection of great films for everyone to watch.

This is the year we are expecting all businesses to be on notice to develop their very own video advertisement entry that will compete for top prize in the Video Advertisement Category and truly show the world that Wasaga Beach is OPEN FOR BUSINESS. What’s different this time is that we will be holding our view and vote events in separate venues throughout Wasaga Beach leading up to the Red Carpet Gala Awards night scheduled for January 23, 2016 at the Wasaga Beach RecPlex.

What is the same is our vision: “Bringing the World to Wasaga Beach through a shared passion for film and the power of storytelling.”

We will continue to attract international, national and regional films to help make our film festival grow with purpose while adding to the cultural landscape of our communities.

In our efforts to lay roots, we have embarked on incorporating a non-profit charitable organization that will not only support the Wasaga Film Festival but open opportunities to develop a home for the film festival and other arts and cultural groups in our town.

Come grow with us. We are looking for business leaders, community leaders, academics, artists, volunteers, sponsors and organizations to help us get on our way. You just have to visit the Midland Cultural Centre to get a glimpse of what we would like to do for Wasaga Beach.

Expert answers to your health and wellness questions

Question: I hear that keeping a food journal might help me lose weight. Can you give me some tips on how to get started andthe best way to journal?

Answer: Several studies have shown that people who keep food journals are more likely to be successful in losing weight. The simple act of food journaling is an excellent way to bring instant awareness to what, how much, and why you are eating. Journaling helps identify areas where changes might need to be made, whether it’s recognizing a food allergy or sensitivity, or realizing that many of your daily calories are coming from mid-afternoon beverages and latenight snacks. Decide on what type of journal will work for you. You might choose a simple notebook and manually log or you could use a smart phone app (like Anytime Health) and track digitally. Next, start logging your food. It makes the most sense to log right after you eat,whenever possible. Be sure to include time of meal, food amount/portion size, and degree of hunger. Be as honest and thorough as you can.

It’s easy to forget the handful of M&M’s at the office or that alfredo sauce on your lunchtime pasta. Review your journal weekly, either on your own or with a dietitian to determine eating patterns that are positive and those that need a change to help you move towards a healthier lifestyle.

Question: Can you please explain what Tabata is? I know it’s a form of intense exercise, but what exactly do you do?

Answer: Tabata training is a specific type of high intensity interval training that is short in duration but extremely HIGH in intensity. Japanese scientist Dr. Izumi Tabata and his team of researchers in Tokyo discovered Tabata Training.

Tabata’s research was done on two groups of athletes: one group training at moderate intensity (5 days a week for 6 weeks for one hour at a time) and the other at a much higher intensity (4 days a week for 6 weeks but for only 4 minutes at a time). The high intensity group showed a substantially larger increase in their aerobic system than group one, and increased their anaerobic system by 28 percent. In other

words they literally got fitter faster! You can see how this is becoming a popular method of training. The Tabata protocol is only 4 minutes of exercise but within those 4 minutes, you perform 20 seconds of extremely high intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of recovery and repeat 8 times in a row. In order to get the results Tabata saw in his study, you need to workout as hard as you possibly can for each and every second of the intervals (to a place where you literally cannot say a word and do not feel like doing the work again).

You can choose any exercise that allows you to achieve the intensity described. Tabata workouts are intense, but great if you are short on time, need to break through a plateau, or you are just looking to change up your exercise routine. You should always build in significant recovery after a Tabata workout (easier workouts the next day or two) and keep in mind that if you are doing Tabata training right, you will not want to go for very long!

The World’s Longest Freshwater “Runway”!

People know and love our amazing world famous beach for its natural beauty and wonderful sunsets... but perhaps many are not aware that our long sandy beach has also been used by aviators in the early days of aircraft. Base Borden often used Wasaga Beach as a take-off and landing strip and many early aviators such as Emilia Earhart visited Wasaga Beach. (Emilia chose to land on the bay with a properly equipped float plane) As our long flat beach provided the necessary room for take-off, the first ever overseas flight from mainland Canada was attempted in 1933. After much preparation, the flight was aborted as strong cross winds off the bay made take-off impossible and the aircraft was damaged when touching back down on the beach.

The next year two Canadian pilots, James Ayling and Leonard Reid purchased the plane that remained in The Beach and re-named it “Trail of the Caribou”. With help of the plane’s manufacturer, deHavilland, they repaired the damage. Again, plans were made to use our famous beach for the take-off point of this historic flight to Bagdad. In those days, planes were small & capable of carrying two to four people at most. These planes also had small fuel tanks, which meant they would not carry enough fuel to cross the Atlantic.

The Trail of the Caribou was a four-seater, twin engine plane with a fifty foot wing span. Two of the seats were removed to reduce weight. Beach residents arranged to level the beach area for a longer distance. The plane with extra fuel had extra weight and needed more distance to take off.

Canadian Pilots James Ayling and Leonard Reid with “Trail of the Caribou”

Boys and girls were out picking up stones and debris to help clear the beach. Four miles of the beach was prepared for the runway.

After much anticipation, on August 8, 1934, the take-off was scheduled to begin at 06.12 hours. Crowds gathered on the beach to watch history in the making!

Similar to the experience the year before, there were strong crosswinds blowing in off Georgian Bay, making take-off more dangerous. The plane ran about a mile, gaining speed before it slowly rose into the air. After a wide sweep across Georgian Bay to gain altitude, it flew back over the people on the beach and headed east, destination Bagdad.

The people watched until it was out of sight. Finally on August 9, word came back on the radio that the Trail of the Caribou landed in Heston, Middlesex, England. It had been in the air 30 hours 55 minutes.

Pilots Ayling and Reid had realized that due to the fastdiminishing fuel, the long distance record could not be made and decided to settle for being the first airmen to fly non-stop from main land Canada to Britain. About 24 hours after leaving Wasaga Beach they sighted Ireland.

Fighting head winds, behind their estimated arrival time and short of fuel, they decided to land in Heston Airport.

They were pleased to note they were exactly on the course they had plotted for the flight, considering they were forced to fly the aircraft blind for a major portion across the Atlantic.

For some years after the historic flight, many small planes took advantage of the long natural runway, but as

Scale model of “Trail of the Caribou” display outside the Wasaga Beach Welcome Centre on Mosley Street motor traffic increased and more and more people came to enjoy our beach, landing or taking off became dangerous... so the practice became history as well.

On August 28, 1958, a stone cairn commemorating the historic flight was unveiled at the entrance to Nancy Island Historic Site. In August of 2009, a scale replica of Trail of the Caribou built by Wasaga Beach resident Reg Jalbert was mounted and is now on display next to the cairn in front of the Wasaga Beach Welcome Centre.
