Point of View Is Recess the Most Important Class of the Day? Stuffed Bell Peppers There is no disguising the flavour of a bell pepper.

Sweet yet bold, the pepper asserts itself whenever it is used. Stuffed peppers are a great way to use produce you have grown in your garden this summer, or if you just want to take advantage of the low prices in the store. Combined with meat and spices it makes a fantastic main meal that can be cooked and frozen when the cost is low and reheated later. I like to serve this dish with Southern Fried Potato Hash.

Recess is more than just a chance for kids to burn off some pent up energy. A new study shows a high-quality recess program can engage students in meaningful play and prepare them to learn when it's time to go back to the classroom.

“Positive school climate has been linked to a host of favorable student outcomes, from attendance to achievement,” writes Milbrey McLaughlin, professor of education and public policy at Stanford University and founding director of the John W. Gardner Center.

“Recess isn't normally considered part of school climate, and often is shortchanged in tight fiscal times, but our research shows that it can be a critical contributor to positive school climate in lowincome elementary schools,” she says.

A positive school climate includes four key elements for students: physical and emotional safety at school; positive relationships Ingredients with peers and adults; support for learning; and an institutional 1 lb lean hamburger environment that fosters connectedness and engagement.

Previously when students didn't know or couldn't agree on game high, uncovered, turning and stirring occasionally, rules, there could be conflicts. Overall, 89 percent of teachers until potatoes are browned as desired. surveyed agreed that there was improvement in recess organization. A teacher from one school said: “It's more of a structured, fun environment. You can see that they're playing soccer, whereas, before, you weren't sure what they were playing.”

Benefits of a Better Recess The findings show several benefits of a structured recess. Ÿ Students feel safer. Fostering positive language, although challenging, was seen as key. About half of teachers (49 percent) reported that students frequently encouraged each other with positive language. One teacher said: “There's a lot more collegiality between the kids. They're using, 'Hey, good job, nice try,' instead of 'Ha ha, you're out.'” Ÿ Less bullying and fewer incidents of student-to-student conflict. Ÿ More student-initiated games. Students initiated games 83 percent of the time, as compared to 33 percent in schools without the recess program. Ÿ Girls are more engaged. More girls said they felt engaged in recess activities (85 percent to 55 percent).

Generally not a week goes by that someone does not report to the Huronia West OPP that their “unlocked” motor vehicle has been entered and property stolen. In many case only loose change is all that is stolen, but we have had GPS, laptops and large sums of cash in individuals' wallets left in vehicles, stolen!

Thefts from motor vehicles can be stopped. Time and time again it has been proven that this is a crime of opportunity.

Below are several tips to help you from not becoming a victim: 1) Always roll up your vehicle's windows and lock the doors even when at home. Generally thieves will not break windows unless they see something worth stealing and possibly being heard.

2) Never leave valuables in your vehicle while unattended.

You are just asking someone to break a window to get it.

3) If you must leave valuables in your vehicle hide them from sight. Cover it or if possible put it in your trunk.

4) Never leave your vehicle keys or a spare set of keys in your motor vehicle.

5) If you can park your vehicle in a locked garage and remember to also lock the vehicle and remove the keys.

Store your vehicle keys away from your vehicle in some location you will know but others will not.

6) Never leave garage door openers visible in your vehicle, hide them. They can be used by criminals to gain access to your home.

7) Report suspicious activity, persons or vehicles to Police when you see them not the following day (1-888-310-1122).

If a crime is currently being committed call “911” and report it.

8) Keep bushes and trees trimmed to reduce hiding places for individuals who may want to commit a crime (enter your unlocked vehicle).

9) If possible park your motor vehicle in a well-lit area.

10) Park your motor vehicle in an area where you can see it from inside your home.

11) If street lights are out call the municipality to have them fixed. A well-lit street increases safety makes it easier to see suspicious activity and deters crime.

By not locking your motor vehicle while at home you are providing that opportunity to those who would steal from you. It may not happen tonight, or the next day but it will happen if you do not lock your motor vehicle.

For more safety and crime prevention tips please visit the Ontario Provincial Police web site at: www.opp.ca.

Wasaga Film Festival Building Unique Stories This season the excitement is growing with 5th Annual Wasaga Film Festival (WFF).

A new marketing and website approach was developed crediting the growth of the organization.

Part of the rebranding was changing the name from WBSFF to Wasaga Film Festival taking the “beach” out of Wasaga Beach and creating more of a general brand so everyone can participate. “There are two reasons: one is that we want to move away from the short film piece in some point in time when the timing is right and we have the right organization we will be able to accommodate full length feature films; second we are working with other communities such as Midland Cinema Club and the Midland Culture Centre who want to be part of this film festival. We've been talking to Collingwood, Blue Mountain and we would like to know people in Creemore and any other adjoining community that wants to get in. We'll just get bigger and better and have the capabilities to attract more film and still have local branding in those other partner areas so they can have their local event and then we, as the WFF, have the overall piece in terms of red carpet gala awards and moving forward,” explained Gary Cerantola, Chair of WFF. The rebranding effort was based on the film festival strategic plan taking advantage of the full feature film portion of the film festivals. “Recognizing a lot of opportunity out there and as in TIFF and other film festivals get prominent in Ontario and Canada,” said Gary.

Last season 57 submissions were welcomed for the 4th Annual WFF qualifying 46 of them. Such films/videos were received from Wasaga Beach to B.C. and as far away as Australia. WFF hopes to double these entries for the 5th anniversary. “We are becoming more prominent. We are now on the Canadian Film Festival list and soon with our new logo suitably designed to fit 'Without a Box' a film festival first stop clearing centre for people wishing to submit films along with our no fees, I'm sure we'll get more submissions.”

New to this year is the Public View & Vote spread out into four days at various venues in our community showcasing the categories within a schedule accompanied by a passport system for people to attend. These venues would be publicized creating a buzz in town. According to Gary they've engaged the “Open For Business” group spearheaded by Hogan Sr. Courier and Elizabeth Rossi who made a splash last winter in Wasaga Beach. So far the duo collected 20 businesses lined up for the Video Advertisement category. “If we could hit 50 it would be amazing.”

Included in the growth is incorporating a non-profit charitable organization not only to support the WFF but open to opportunities to develop a home for the film festival and other arts and cultural programs.

Deadline for submissions is November 27th, 2015. For details visit the new site wasagafilmfest.com.

ŸWell I guess it had to happen sooner or latter. I cant avoid it now. I

have not watched baseball since the strike in 1992. Multi billion contracts and the poor kid who lives in the slums of Toronto cant afford a ticket to see them play. Just outrageous. I think they went on strike a few times. Anyways my son is an avid Blue Jays fan and so is my wife. So the games are always on TV so I get stuck watching them play. You cant help getting caught in all the hype.

Go Jays but do something for all those kids that can't afford a ticket to watch the game. Go ahead and unfriend me now. ŸThat amazing moment when you smack the remote and it actually works! ŸI'd have sex with Martha Stewart just for the amazing breakfast she would make the next morning. ŸWhy is it that people who drink energy drinks seem like the people with the least amount of stuff going on? ŸSome days, all I want is some ketchup packets placed in the bag, without having to ask. That is all ŸBe thankful your GPS doesn't get PMS: “Fine! Turn whichever way you want! You never listen to me anyway!” ŸRetail Stores: “It's September 1st! Time to put out all the Christmas crap...." ŸTrump antenna falling off his building on Bay St. ŸIs everyone going out to watch it fall down at lunch? Maybe Trump should put a fence around that to. Or use some of his hair spray to hold it in place. ŸIf a man speaks and no one is listening, chances are his name is Dad. ŸThey call them heated seats because rear defroster was already taken. ŸJust watched an entire TV show without being on my phone just like they did on the Mayflower. ŸTil death do us part' seems excessive. How about 'Til the laundry doesn't get done' or 'Til you hog all the covers' ŸSo now that oil is so cheap,,,, maybe we should start drilling for black printer ink. ŸBuying my wife a matching belt and bag for her birthday. We'll have that vacuum cleaner working in no time. ŸMy wife started cooking for our guests and told me to prepare the table. ŸSo I went in and told them all about her cooking. ŸIt's not drinking alone if you talk to yourself. ŸWine doesn't have many vitamins. That's why you have to drink a lot of it. ŸI'm guessing this year's Pulitzer Prize for Fiction will go to some guy explaining why he had an Ashley Madison account.

This year appears to be a pivotal year for Wasaga Beach. We are coming off a great summer and a good line of successful events. There is a new confidence in the air thanks to our new Council and the efforts of many hard working citizens of our great community.

Soon the swell of visitors will be tapering off and we will be in the throes of getting ready for the fall and winter as some of the very seasonal operations close for yet another year.

It’s a time when all this hard work is rewarded with a good rest and a few breathers are taken to start all over again next season. NOT!!

It’s time for off season training and planning so we can be bigger and better next season! You could argue that off season training is the most important phase of any sport-specific conditioning plan. Not only does it help athletes to recover physically and mentally, it is used to address some of the areas that need work on that are inherent with playing competitive sport. This also applies to teams running a resort town.

Which means, it’s no time to take a rest. It’s time get out new plans and start working towards the next season now. Gone are the May days when just the cabin shutters had to be taken off to start the new season.

We are fresh with what worked and what could be improved taken from this year’s lessons.

Add one more significant milestone. The Town of Wasaga Beach has hired Andrew McNeill as the Director of Economic Development and Tourism. He comes to the town with a stellar resume and with impressive experience and capabilities.

Andrew will be working collaboratively with all town departments in addressing council’s economic development goals.

It would make great sense for all town businesses to tap in to the overall plan and get on board to drive success in 2016.

Let’s not forget that 2017 is the 150th celebration for Canada and next year should be the dry run for 2017. It will allow us to develop all the things we need for 2017. We could put ourselves in a position to put on the best 150th birthday party for Canada that this country has ever seen. This will take a lot of effort so what we do in 2016 will be crucial to our success.

So don’t be so quick to plan that trip looking for rest and relaxation. Think about how we all can prepare for the next season and build on it to make 2017 an absolute banner year for our community.

Brampton Population approx. 525,000. In the Regional Municipality of Peel on the Etobicoke River and Hwys. 7 & 10, 32 km. West of Toronto. The community was settled in the early 1820's and first known as Buffy’s Corners. In 1832 the post office called the place Chinguacousy. The first settler, John Elliot, cleared land and laid out village lots. In 1851 he named the place after his former home in Cumberland, England. The town now is nicknamed “Flower Town” because of the world-famous roses and other flowers produced by the Harry Dale Estate Nurseries. Toronto architect William Kauffman designed the Peel Country Court House and Jail in 1865 in a pleasing and eclectic style described as Venetian Gothic seen below.

Scott Thompson (born June 12, 1959) is a Canadian television actor and comedian best known for his time as a member of the comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall.

Openly gay, Thompson became bestknown on the show for his monologues as the "alpha queen" socialite Buddy Cole, as well as his appearances as Queen Elizabeth II. During the mid 1990s Thompson ran an interactive website, developed by his younger brother Craig and called ScottLand. It had a livechat area, voting and comedy espionnage and sold Buddy Cole T-shirts and video tapes of comedy sketches.

He also appeared regularly on The Larry Sanders Show as Hank Kingsley's personal assistant Brian, and made numerous guest appearances on other television series, including Politically Incorrect, The Late Show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and Train 48.

Weight machines only allow movement in one plane and tend to isolate major muscles to perform the movement. Free weights, such as dumbbells and barbells, allow movement in all three planes. This requires you to use more muscles to balance and stabilize yourself than you would with a machine. Both free weights and weight machines can be part of a good resistance training routine, as long as you are using a weight sufficient to fatigue the muscles within your set and rep range.

Main Street and Main Beach

Busy Main Street and Main Beach, mid to late 40s

Since the early part of this century, our Main Beach… and our Main Street has been the hub of our tourism industry and an entertainment centre!

Our Main Street became a vibrant and exciting place to shop, meet, dine and be entertained… while our grand beachfront hotels rivaled those anywhere and welcomed visitors with their modern facilities offering the most beautiful beach and views in the world. Great entertainment was available everywhere in the Main Beach area… including Playland Park… one of Canada’s Largest Amusement Parks that included a midway and large indoor arcade!

For years we have had dreams of building on what was created in the glory years of Wasaga Beach when we were known as Canada’s Premiere Beachfront Resort! In the sixties, we had reached a point where although we had all in place… we needed to stay in tune with what the tourists of the day were looking for!

Included here is a rendering of what some “wideawake” folks saw for our Main Street and Main Beach area. It shows some great additions to our wonderful beach area, including a grand pier at

the foot of Main Street, a break-wall/pier to protect the point and the river’s mouth, development on the beachfront and even a marina in the protected river on the point.

What’s interesting to note is the caption under this drawing… wondering what became of these great ideas for development… in order to stay current with our dreams of remaining a truly world class beach resort! This drawing and comment were published by a local newspaper in 1966!

It seems that almost 50 years ago… we were wondering when the needed improvements to our Main Beach and Main Street area were going to be acted upon!

I now feel there is a movement to bring the significance back to our Main Street and its importance of being a hub of commerce and entertainment and this fits well with the exciting opportunities that now exist with our World Famous Main Beach area.
