Wasaga Beach is blessed with one of the wonders of the World. We have Georgian Bay and the Longest Freshwater Beach anywhere. Tourists flock from all over during the summer months but what happens after Labour Day?
Meaford has a great Scarecrow Festival...Thornbury has their Apple Festival..Elmvale has Maple Syrup in the Spring...Collingwood has Elvis during the summer and Creemore has just celebrated their Copper Kettle Festival.
And so it has begun! The Blue Pumpkin Festival planning is in full swing with The Blue Pumpkin Golf Tournament. It will be a great way to get visitors to come to our town long after Labor Day and well into Thanksgiving/Halloween season.
Wasaga Beach could be known as the Blue Pumpkin Capital of World.
Blue Pumpkins could also be recognition of World Diabetes Day, November 14 (every year)
Ideas for October
1. Paint your own pumpkins blue (Krylon True Blue Gloss)(add silvery glitter to make it sparkle)
2. Invite your neighbours to participate
3. Get the schools involved
4. Sign up for 2012 The Blue Pumpkin Golf Tournament
5. Ask 97.7 The Beach radio to talk it up!

Learn Continuous Chest Compression CPR
Learn Sarver Heart Center's Continuous Chest Compression CPR
Every three days, more North Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine."This video is worth sharing," said Gordon A. Ewy, MD, director of the UA Sarver Heart Center and one of the research pioneers who developed this method.

RIM Global Service Outage Courtesy of http://www.engadget.com
RIM clarifies global service outage, doesn't provide ETA for restore

RIM CTO David Yach responded to questions during a press conference this afternoon, explaining the original cause of the outage (that UK server failure, along with a series of failed redundancies), and how that grew into the global outage we're experiencing now:
The obvious solution would be to clear the backlog and restore service, but in doing so, RIM would purge any undelivered messages. Yach said that all emails will eventually be delivered, however, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about there (there was no related comment regarding BBM messages). When asked what the company would be doing to "make right" by way of its customers, Yach emphasized that his focus was only on restoring service at this point, and made no promises of restitution."It's a backlog issue. Clearly we have a backlog in Europe, based on the initial outage and the time it's taken to stabilize that. At this point, we have not throttled the other regions, but as you can imagine, with the global reach of BlackBerry, people using it to contact others around the world, there's a lot of messages coming to Europe from Asia and the Americas, and those would be backed up on the other system. It's looking like over time that backlog built, and started impacting those other systems."
Is the BlackBerry outage affecting you? Let us know by voting in our poll, or leaving a comment after the break.

It is our opinion, that this great opportunity should be supported. The Beach BOOSTER Group plans on offering such support in hopes that we can move forward and work with the organizer to insure it is a success.
