“The Prez Sez”

Good news. During the hot weather the pool was in tip top shape and well used. In addition, an outdoor shower has now been installed for those necessary body rinses before entering the pool. The horseshoe pits have been installed and are in use. A big thank you to Frontier

staff Ron, Tyler, Derrick and Renie for all their efforts. I would also like to thank them for their respect and help by listening and assisting all residents. Let's give that respect back. Many of you received an e-mail "Resident Newsletter" from Frontier Management announcing the tasks they are undertaking such as solar lighting for the overflow parking lot and road repairs on the land lease side. They also announced a coming website for enhanced communication with residents. If you were missed, see Renie in the office. We will say more about this at the General Meeting September 15th. With the incorporation of WOLRA last fall a large revamp of our by-laws was undertaken by a By-Law Committee of residents who went above and beyond the requirement of the task. The WOLRA INC. Board must submit the new by-laws to the government this October. To do that it is required that each member receive a copy for a chance to comment before finalization. Copies will be distributed in September in order to meet our October deadline. Also as part of incorporation requirement the Board is working to provide members with electronic voting on issues while absent. If you are going to be away, or want this availability please ensure you sign up, if not already, for e-com at the next meeting. These issues and many other activities will be reported at the General Meeting on Tuesday, September 15th. Hope to see you there. Bryan West, President, WOLRA

Pumpkinfest Parade - Oct. 17th This year we are entering a float carrying THE RED HOT MAMA KAZOOZs. Several years ago upon seeing this entry the spectators were not sure if the members were guys or gals. We have 14 “fun loving guys” who don’t mind dressing up and playing a kazoo while riding on the wagon which Rene St. James has done a great job of repainting. Pumpkin decorations will be added for the occasion. Rene also invites all those who wish to dress as clowns or chickens to sign up and help hand out candy during the parade. He will place a sheet for sign-up in the library. Thanks for being good sports. Roy Goostrey x5588 & Rene St. James x3050

In the second half of the session we will explore the attributes of the metal element (lungs/ large intestines/ skin) through the tiger frolic - the movements of the tiger are contracting and sinking, then leaping, leading us to move forward while letting go of the past. Come build your resilience and experience the vitality that comes from the practice of Qigong! Please bring a yoga mat and water. Contact Arlene at 613.393.5335 to register.

Please contact me for more information. Space is limited! ARE YOU BREATHING? The giant Galapagos tortoise has a life expectancy of 100 – 150 years, an elephant 70 – 80 years, humpback whale about 95. These giant mammals all have a rate of breathing averaging 2 to 6 breaths per minute. Dogs live from 10 – 16 years breathing about 30 to 40 times per minute. A human’s rate of breathing runs around 12 to 14 breaths a minute. Yoga tradition states that we each have a certain number of breaths in a lifetime. Slowing down our rate of breathing can result in lower blood pressure, reduced anxiety, a clearer mind and helps to relax muscles so that we may find some respite from pain. We can learn to lead a healthier and longer life by learning some simple yoga breathing techniques. Cathy Ness, cathyness54@gmail.com, 613-885-7707

Computer Scam Alert One of our residents, Inge Scott, got caught in a computer scam last week and she feels an alert to

everybody is in order. While browsing the web a pop-up appeared claiming her computer was being

attacked by a hacker and urged her to call a given number immediately. She first tried to shut down

the computer, but it didn't comply. So in a panic she called the number given where a female voice

answered stating a company's name assuring her that the next available technician would be with

her shortly. It all sounded so genuine! Finally a male voice came on the line claiming a hacker from

Texas was attacking her computer at that very moment. He proceeded to walk her through several

numerical procedures and then claimed his company could protect her computer from future

invasions for a monthly fee of $189. But when she told him that she wanted to first consult the person

who regularly services her computer, the phone suddenly went dead, and she was able to shut down

the computer. She immediately phoned the person from whom she had purchased the computer.

When he came, he found that all the security measures had been removed and the computer was

unprotected. However, no harm was done because she had shut down just in the nick of time. She

reported the incident to the local police and was given the RCMP Anti-Fraud

Line number: 1-888-495-8501. You can also go online to the Canadian Anti-

Fraud Centre (CAFC) at

www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca. “Kids today don’t know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk

Christmas Dinner/Dances Your Christmas Dinner Committee has been busy planning and organizing two very special Dinner/Dances which will take place on Friday, December 4th and Saturday, December 5th. Both dinners will be catered by Chef Michael Hoy who will be putting his culinary talents into preparing a traditional roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings, using fresh and local turkeys and produce. On Friday evening, David

Bongard and his quartet, "70 Something", will be performing until 10 p.m., playing traditional and Christmas music as well as requests that can easily be listened to or that lends itself to waltzes, foxtrots, tangos, or the salsa. On Saturday, “Little Bluff” will be performing until 11 p.m., featuring rock, blues, and music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. We are looking forward to making this year's dinners memorable and magical events. Please mark these dates down on your calendar. Nancy Barton & the Christmas Dinner Committee

Before you know it, it will be here! The decadent desserts and specialty coffees

enjoyed by all last year will be returning. Don’t worry, we’ll buy fresh. The music

will be programmed this year so if you have some favourite tunes, let us know.

Coincidentally, the party will be held on the same day as last year so circle

December 31st on your calendar and plan to attend and have a great time!

Hosts: Brian King & Olena Varych and Doug & Brenda Little, doug.little11@gmail.com

Theatre Group News We now have 28 members listed with several others indicating interest for a future time. Since so many members have prior plans and appointments (thank you for letting me know), I have decided to cancel further Thursday meetings for now and meet again on Thursday, September 24th at 1:30 p.m. I think that by that time we will be better able to stick to a schedule of readings and rehearsals. Members who have indicated only interest in backstage/techie positions, need not come to regular meetings - unless you want to of course! Bea Howse x1625, beadave2012@gmail.com

MANY THANK YOU'S TO ALL Y'ALL Thank you to all the residents who bought tickets for the Corn Roast and Barbecue. The funds raised will help us to achieve some of our future projects. It would not have been possible to accomplish putting on this feast, if it were not for my wife Donna who helped me remember to do what had to be done. Thank you as well to all of the volunteers who helped serve the corn on the cob, Oktoberfest sausages, salads, etc. Also, the cooks who barbecued the sausages, the boilers who boiled the corn, the maintenance crew who set-up the tables and chairs, the cleaning up of the kitchen and the tables after the event and the list goes on and on…I will not mention all of the names, fearful that I will forget some of them. Thanks again. ALL OF THE 16 DOZEN CORN ON THE COB WERE DONATED BY LAKESHORE FARMS SO PLEASE STOP BY AND THANK THEM! Rene St. James, Shuffle Board Coordinator

Last Month’s Event(s) in Review Dragon Boat Festival The WOTL 2015 Dragon Boat team came in second to their arch-rivals the Legion in the final of the 2015 Wellington Lions Dragon Boat Festival held on Saturday August 8th. The team paddled well throughout the day but unfortunately did not do well enough as a team and their times throughout were more than last year. In their qualifying races: 1) against the Legion their time was 1 min.33.32 sec. 2) v Toronto Aquaholics was 1 min.34.09 sec. and 3) v Toronto Dragon Abreast was 1 min. 32.03 sec. In the final against the Legion, we came in second with a time of 1min. 25.53 sec. with the Legion time of 1 min.22.07 sec. It was a great day with lots of exciting races and the weather was good. I thank the team for their effort and in particular Brenda Little for acting as captain for the team. I also thank the WOLRA board for the subsidy towards the entrance fee. This was much appreciated by the team members. My appreciation goes to Sheila and Kevin Hanbury who have agreed to manage the team in 2016. Next year, I am sure that we will put on a good show. Wilf Durham

The 9th annual Dragon Boat Festival, a fund raising event for the Wellington Lions Club, took place Saturday, August 8th with overwhelming success. There were 10 teams entered including our own Wellington on the Lake LAKERS as well as teams from Brighton, Cobourg, Toronto, Belleville, Stratford, two breast cancer survivor teams, the Legion and Community Living. The weather worked in our favour with an overcast but warm, dry day and minimal breezes which made for a good paddling experience. This year WOTL had a full boat of paddlers consisting of our own residents as well as friends and relatives taking part. This regatta is a multi-level event with the Lakers being entered in the community interest level, so our competition consisted of the Legion and the Community Living group. Last year we won the cup for our division, however try as we might, this year we came in second to the Legion – our arch rivals. Other winners of the various divisions include Brighton, Cobourg, Stratford, Belleville and Community Living. As part of the event, pink carnations are sold so that participants and spectators may take part in the touching Carnation Ceremony. The two “survivor” teams paddle to the wharf while everyone sings and drops their carnations into the water in memory of a lost loved one or someone struggling with this deadly disease. A big THANK YOU to Wilf Durham for his vision, dedication and coaching over the past 9 years. This type of event does not happen without strong leadership and encouragement from people like Wilf –MANY THANKS!!! So, looking ahead to next year, keep this event in mind to paddle or come out as a spectator. Sheila Hanbury will be the new manager and she is already planning training sessions so that 2016 will again be the year we take the Cup for Wellington on the Lake. We will need new members for our Lakers team so please contact Sheila Hanbury x1213. It's fun, great fitness and fabulous team spirit, try it! Brenda Little

Respect Your Neighbours

A Template for Life – submitted by Eric Grimshaw The scene is early December – it was unusually cold for that time of year. A little bird didn’t want the long journey so was a bit late in embarking on his winter migration to the south. But as it got colder, he decided to chance it anyway. He took off early one morning and climbed to cruising altitude. The headwind kept getting stronger and the temperature dropped – it snowed. The going was tough, ice was forming on his wings and he was weakening. Eventually, exhausted he fell to earth, landing in the middle of a farmyard where he lay close to death. As fate would have it, one of the farm cows arrived and proceeded to do a big dump on the expiring little bird. Soon the warmth permeated the little body and before long, the bird started to recover – he was cozy and comfortable and in his happiness he began to sing. Fate again intervened and a passing barn cat, hearing the singing, had visions of a bonus lunch and without more ado, proceeded to excavate the bird and eat it. The moral of this story is: “Those who drop you in the sh** are not necessarily your enemies, those who dig you out of it are not necessarily your friends; but as long as you are warm and happy, you should keep your mouth shut.”
