Point of View In Praise of Volunteers Nearly 7.5 million Canadians give freely and willingly of their time to enrich the lives of others. They help organizations reach new heights by not only providing basic human resources, but also by bringing fresh ideas and much needed skills. They deserve our praise.

The act of volunteering is on the rise in Canada, according to the most recent National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating. In 1977, 5.3 million Canadians donated their time and energy to make an immeasurable contribution to their communities. The increase in that number to 10.5 million in 2013 almost one-third of the country's population, shows that the passion to make a difference is growing.

More than a decade ago, an article published in an American news magazine described how women were using volunteer work as a foot in the door to the employment market. Today another large group, those 15 to 24 years of age, has joined the volunteer forces in record numbers.

This group, whose number of volunteers has almost doubled, believes that by participating and helping others, they can acquire valuable interpersonal and job-related skills that will open the door to increased job opportunities.

Voluntary service is so valuable to its beneficiaries as to be literally priceless. Who could ever count what it is worth to a handicapped child to be taught how to swim, or to an elderly shut-in to have someone do the shopping and drop in for a chat once or twice a week?

The Reward of Doing Something for Nothing Almost everyone, (96 per cent), agreed that the reason they volunteered was to help a cause in which they personally believed. Over two-thirds of volunteers participated because they have been personally, or know someone who has been personally affected, by the cause the organization supported.

When volunteers are asked the reasons why they volunteer, they usually cite the satisfaction they derive from helping others. A typical reaction came from an ex-champion figure skater who teaches skating to blind children. "Don't get me wrong. I don't teach these classes as charity, I'm basically a very selfish person. I teach them because I get tremendous gratification," she said.

At least some volunteers would not do the work they do if a price were put on it. Said a hospital auxiliary worker with a hard and occasionally unpleasant job: "I would not do this for any amount of money, I do it because I want to. I feel I owe something to this community. This community has been very good to me.�

The idea of giving something back to the community of your own free will seems to have undergone a revival among the people who were least expected to be interested in voluntary service - the members of the "me generation." Community affairs offices in Canadian high schools have been mobilizing students to help the disabled, entertain children, drive people to and from hospitals, tutor slow learners, baby-sit for working mothers and the like. Added to the continuing good work being done by organizations like Wasaga Beach Lions Club, Rotary Club of Wasaga Beach, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides, this makes it look as if the grossly selfish "me generation" was a swiftly passing phenomenon.

Perhaps it never really existed at all.

The need for volunteers is bound to grow, not only because of the limitations of government support, but also because of our ageing population. We should honour the volunteers among us and think about what else we could be doing ourselves. The watchword of voluntarism is "do what you can." If you do all you can, it can never be too little.

HOWARDS COMPLETE CONTRACTING ADDITIONS

Paella was originally a laborers' meal, cooked over an open fire in the fields and eaten directly from the pan using wooden spoons. Seafood is rare in the fields of Valencia, which is why they used chicken, rabbit, duck and snails. Although Paella is widely regarded as Spain's national dish, Spaniards still consider it a regional dish. Almost anything can go into a Paella, but according to tradition, Valecian's still believe an authentic Paella must consist of certain ingredients and should be cooked by men over an open fire of orange and pine branches to produce an aromatic smoke which infuses the paella. The pan that the paella is made in is called a Paellera wide, flat and usually made of carbon steel. The recipe that we are making is a much simpler version, but maintaining the integrity of the flavour and texture.

‘Making a difference...

Breaking Down Barriers'

Chuck Walton (R) heads up Breaking Down Barriers' initiative to develop a team of dedicated volunteers to help people with disabilities throughout our region. Chuck is pictured here with his son, Zack. Zack has offered to become a companion volunteer to help out an individual in this area who has been isolated because of their disability. He is a great example of a young man who cares about his community.

Breaking Down Barriers provides supports, services and programs to enhance the opportunities for people with diverse disabilities to live independently in our communities of South Georgian Bay. Walton states that in this region there are hundreds of people who are in need of our help and our services. Some of these people may suffer from obvious recognizable disabilities, and others may be afflicted with undetectable or invisible impairments. Many suffer from depression, anxiety, stress disorder, or any other of the various mental illnesses that keep them from being a part of the community. At Breaking Down Barriers we do not want anyone to fall through the cracks. We are striving to achieve an inclusive environment for our consumers.

One of the most essential factors in achieving a satisfying quality of life is to be a part of a community. Having a sense of belonging is critical to ones wellbeing. All too often, the most vulnerable segment of our society loses the means to be a part of the community.

The program we have just launched is the 'Community Companion Network'. Our mandate is to put together a team of caring volunteers who are willing to contribute a couple of hours per week, to become a Companion to a person who may otherwise be left alone with the feeling of loneliness and desperation, hence the inability to cope with their daily life.

It would mean so much to these folks if they knew that each week they would be getting a visit or at least a call from a familiar friend. To get out for a game, or a trip downtown, or even just a friendly chat to break up the monotony, can make the world of difference to someone who can't otherwise get out.

Our consumers come from many different situations. There is no exact blueprint for who needs our services. Likewise there is not an exact description of what will make the ideal volunteer.

The most important qualities that we will look for are: caring, compassion and consistency.

We are hopeful and confident, that throughout the entire region of Wasaga Beach, Stayner, Creemore, the Blue Mountains, and Collingwood, there are enough people that can devote a couple of hours a week to enrich the lives of others with a simple visit, or an outing for those who would otherwise be isolated.

Please consider joining this worthwhile program and make a difference to an individual and to the community at large. Additionally, if you feel you could benefit, or if you know someone you think could benefit from Community Companion Network please call or email us at the address below.

We have the best rewards program available……..knowing you are making a difference.

Breaking Down Barriers 705- 445-1543 or www.breakingdownbarriers.ca Breaking Down Barriers also has several other wonderful programs developed to enrich the lives of individuals with various disabilities in Sharon Brooks-Wallace South Georgian Bay.

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.

962 Mosley Street, Wasaga Beach Reservations Preferred

The New Classical 102.9 FM Radio The world's most beautiful music has finally arrived and has a home in Collingwood in our charming Southern Georgian Bay. Almost five years in the making the New Classical 102.9 FM launched August 30th at the only station that plays “All Classical All the Time”.

“Everybody knows this community and the whole of the area is just chalk full of people who are cultured, who are engaged, who are engaging and want an alternative to rock radio or country music radio and finally, we are here,” said Moses Znaimer, President of Zoomer Media, Canadian media visionary man best known for his outstanding achievements in television, his contributions to the Canadian music industry and now, his newest and ongoing role as a champion for Canada's 15.1 million 45-plus.

The new station can be heard in Collingwood, Thornbury, Meaford, Owen Sound, Stayner, Wasaga Beach, The Blue Mountains, Midland, Creemore as well as Barrie and Orillia. The New Classical 102.9 FM will celebrate composers' lives through special themed programming that showcases their music in a lively format, explaining music terms in an easy accessible language. In addition to the beautiful music, 102.9 FM will feature local arts, events and entertainment updates as well as weather and traffic.

“Amazingly it took almost 5 years. It was mostly a regulatory issue just getting the authorities to accept our application, hear it, deal with the objections from possible competitors, eventually they said yes but, didn't give us the frequency that we had asked for so we had to find another frequency which required a whole other set of engineering plans and had to find another location for the transmitter. All that is forgotten today, we are here on the air,” said Znaimer.

Moses felt this part of the country is where many people flee to from Toronto. “They come here for some calm and engage with nature and to enjoy some leisure away from the hustle and bustle of the big Metropolis, so we felt that we should follow them,” said Znaimer.

The New Classical 102.9 FM certainly made an impact in Collingwood at their launch party on September 6th at a storefront on Hurontario Street with the station's logo and “The World's Most Beautiful Music – All Classical All the Time” letters embedded on the building. Greeted by Woolfgang Amadeus Mozart in his 1700 fashion flare as you entered added to the ambience of the party, the room beautifully decorated with items from the MZTV Museum such as antique radios and vinyl records, wall size posters of the radio's logo graced the walls along with the amazing food. Guests included dignitaries and business owners where live interviews were conducted with Moses Znaimer and the 102.9 FM on air-talent: John Van Driel, Jean Stillwell, Kerry Stratton, Mike Duncan and Bill Anderson.

The New Classical 102.9 FM is a welcome addition to our community playing all classical all the time in our beautiful Georgian Triangle. For more information visit www.classical1029fm.com.

In my 25 years of experience related to strategic planning, if I have learned anything, it’s that you need to underpin a vision with a strong set of beliefs and values to sustain its efforts.

Furthermore it has to be a shared vision so people can actually see themselves in it. Add to that, the vision has to be compelling and encompassing. This means we have to create a Town vision that not only covers Beach 1 & 2, it must fully address what we as citizens value in our town, our principles and all the ingredients we need to make this town the preferred place in which to work live and play. Another important component of a strong vision is that it has to touch the past to acknowledge the good works of our founders and fully embrace the future so that we are creating our own future and not serving someone else’s.

Read the following statements that Mike Miller posted on Facebook recently to see how we can capture the passion of many Beachers to make sure we create a “Big V” vision for Wasaga Beach that will resonate with all of us and truly give us a compelling direction for our community.

Mike Miller: “I’ve lived in Wasaga Beach for my lifetime, anyone that knows me does know I've been an ambassador of our great town from the time I was a just the 3 year old boy crossing the Main Street bridge. I've been here to see the glory days and nights of Wasaga Beach in the prime time. Now I see it today. I'm very saddened and disappointed to what our great town has become. I can honestly say since my days working on the Main strip (The Mall) and seeing thousands of people every day was just an inspiration to serve and the adrenaline rush I loved. Then it was fading away as the years have passed. It is numbing to this day. Most of you do not know just how much I love Wasaga Beach. The days of our proud to be a Wasagian have been slipping away over the years. I thought this would pass to become better days for my hometown Wasaga Beach....not so...I ask anyone that remembers Wasaga in a way it gave us that feeling to be proud and happy as a Wasagian to keep your head high and be proud... we lived it.. Let's get Wasaga back and all in our community be proud once again to say " I live in WASAGA BEACH” If we can incorporate this kind of passion that is shared amongst many Beachers in our town, I would say we could create a winning vision that can guide us to the heights of being the preferred community in which to live, work and play.

“Be the Beach”, send me your thoughts and comments at Gary@beachBOOSTER.com. Your efforts count in making this community the preferred place in which to live, work and play.

Approx. Pop. 12,500. In Dist. Mun. of Muskoka at the South end of Lake Muskoka on Hwy. 169 and County Roads 17 & 18, 18 km. South of Bracebridge.

Explorers passed through the area in 1826, but there was little settlement until completion of the Muskoka Road in 1858-1859. The town is nicknamed “Gateway to Muskoka.” James McCabe, who built a tavern at the site in 1859, is considered to be the first settler. Lumbering was the major industry, and by the 1870s there were 17 mills and the settlement was nicknamed Sawdust City. The place was variously known as McCabe’s Landing, McCabe’s Mills, and McCabe’s Bay, but when the post office opened in 1862 postmaster James McCabe selected the name Gravenhurst from the book Bracebridge Hall by Washington Irving. In 1864 the postmaster general of Canada referred to the same book to name nearby Bracebridge.

Dr. Norman Bethune, remembered for his heroic work in Spain and China as a field surgeon and medical educator, was born in the manse of Knox Presbyterian Church in 1890. Today the home is a museum and a shrine of sorts for Chinese visitors to Canada. The R.M.S. Segwun, last of a fleet of steamships that once provided transportation through the Muskoka Lakes, still operates in summer out of Gravenhurst. The ship was built in Scotland and reassembled in Gravenhurst in 1887.

Dr. Norman Bethune (1922-1939) Henry Norman Bethunep was a Canadian physician, medical innovator, and noted antifascist. Bethune came to international prominence first for his service as a frontline surgeon supporting the democratically-elected Republican government during the Spanish Civil War. But it was his service with the Communist Eighth Route Army (Ba Lu Jun) during the Second Sino-Japanese War that would earn him enduring acclaim. Dr. Bethune effectively brought modern medicine to rural China and often treated sick villagers as much as wounded soldiers. His selfless commitment to the Chinese people made such an impression on Mao Zedong that generations of Chinese students were required to memorise the Chairman's eulogy to him.

Ironically, while Bethune was the man responsible for developing a mobile blood-transfusion service for frontline operations in the Spanish Civil War, he himself died of blood poisoning.

A prominent Communist and veteran of the First World War, he wrote that wars were motivated by profits, not principles. Statues in his honour can be found in cities throughout China.

Sarah Walker Designer, Artist and Entrepreneur Written & Photographed by Patti Friday

Beyond the pines near the drifting, soft blowing beach sand tucked away beside a lush local golf course is a hidden creative enterprise making quality home décor and apparel products for the entire world. Sarah Walker, Designer, Artist and Entrepreneur is yet another best-kept-secret illustrious talent we have in Wasaga Beach.

Sarah studied Interior Design at The International Academy of Design in Toronto. Over the years she has implemented her exceptional design skills within numerous fine residences throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

Following these hectic years of successful residential design; Sarah decided to pursue her dream of an artist's life in the country. She chose the inspirational surroundings of Wasaga Beach, Ontario and made the move in 2009.

Inspired by the nature that surrounds her and her travels abroad, she expresses her exquisite design sensibility in the form of original art works, luxe cushions, and popular lavender sachets.

Sarah's next venture is her thoughtful 'White Padma'. This new line was recently photographed here on the Beach with local Native model Shyanne Woodcock.

Who can resist styles 'Gypsy Soul', 'Agape', or 'OM' spreading love, joy and peace?

Expert answers to your health and wellness questions

by Jessica Brown Question: My physician has recommended that I reduce my daily sodium intake. What are some simple ways to do this?

Answer: Sodium is added to everything from pasta sauces, condiments, to frozen foods, so it’s no surprise that the average adult consumes 3,400 mg of sodium per day. Many organizations such as the Canadian Food Guide recommend that adults should limit their sodium intake to no more than 2,300 mg per day to improve overall health. Reducing your sodium intake can be done with a few small changes in your diet. Purchase low-sodium or sodium-free varieties of your usual pantry items such as soup stocks, sauces and canned vegetables. Limit the use of processed and frozen foods.

Limit your intake of condiments such as dill pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce, and salad dressing.

And finally, when cooking, instead of salt reach for lemon juice, citrus juices, dried spices and vinegar to add flavor to your food. Making one (or all) of these changes will reduce your daily sodium intake by hundreds of milligrams. As a bonus, become a ‘label sleuth’ -it’s really as simple as reviewing the food labels to note the sodium contained to help you make a healthier option.

Question: Can you please explain what circuit training is?

Answer: Circuit training is a form of body conditioning where you perform an exercise for a period of time and then move on to another exercise. Typically, you’ll perform each exercise for 30-60 seconds and have 15-30 seconds to transition to the next exercise. Once you

complete all the exercises in the circuit, you’ll rest and repeat the circuit again. On the fitness floor in a gym setting, a specific group of weight training machines may be set in a formation so you can move smoothly from one machine to another. In a group fitness setting, you’ll find stations of exercises placed around the room.

Circuits can be strength exercises only or a combination of strength and cardio exercises and are usually set up with 8-12 stations. Circuit training is fast paced, fun, and great for anyone who is busy and wants to combine strength and cardio in one workout.
