See You Soon Embark on a New Journey Embrace Nordic Pole Walking today! By Kelly-Lynn Musico, Brights Grove • Registered Physiotherapist, Registered Yoga Teacher Each new season is a great time to embark on new activities. And, of course, the fall is a great time for exploring the beautiful outdoors. Nordic pole walking is a great activity to try. As a certified Nordixx pole walking instructor, I believe pole walking isn’t just an exercise—it can be a journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. It’s a fantastic activity to revitalize your fitness routine, boost your mood, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors. Nordic pole walking originated in Europe, basically as an out-of-season training to cross country skiing. That’s right, a training activity, as the arm movements mimic the arms in cross country skiing.

A new magazine for people who aren’t (new that is!) E-bikes, E-scooters, E-mobility, E-kick scooters Since 2014 Sales, Parts & Service 154 Mitton Street North, Sarnia | sarniaebikes@gmail.com The Times Have Always Been Changing By Peter R Smith, Brights Grove from Daytripping Summer 2023 I don’t remember much about my paternal grandfather, he was the last of my grandparents to die, but I was still only 8 years old when he died in 1959. However, last year I was back in the U.K. visiting family and I had the opportunity to visit his grave in London where I grew up. He was brought up a strict Baptist, he wouldn’t have alcohol in the house and the only activity permitted on Sunday was reading the bible, so I wondered how we would get along if we met today, with me being a social drinking sceptic with left leaning politics. This got me thinking about how the world has changed since his death and what he would make of it all. I imagined myself trying to explain to him why, when not at home, people pay more for a bottle of water to drink than they do for a similar amount of gasoline, or how a computer works and why we need them, or how an MP3 player can store all that music in a tiny memory chip. He didn’t own a TV or any form of record player, but he would have been familiar with the wind-up 78 rpm gramophones of his day. Technology has come so far since then, would someone from his era just be overwhelmed, surely things changed so much slower in his time? But as I thought about it some more, I realised that he had probably witnessed more change in his life than I have in mine. Born in 1874 into Victorian England at the height of its power, he had been witness to two world wars that had upended the social order, squandered the wealth of Britain and most of Europe and resulted in the rise of America as the predominant world power. Not only that, but science and our understanding of the cosmos had been revolutionised by the discovery of relativity and quantum mechanics. Technology Life is better on an e-bike. had developed the phonograph and gramophone, practical electric lightbulb, movies, radio, radar, television, powered aircraft, motor vehicles, transistors, computers, jet engines, helicopters, electron microscopes, the laser, space exploration, organ transplants, DNA, the atom and hydrogen bombs and much more. One little family story that gives an insight to his understanding of technology involves watching TV at our house. He didn’t approve of it, but felt it was acceptable to listen in to the BBC news presenter provided that no one else in the room talked. Because it was rude to interrupt the newsreader when he was speaking to us. But it wasn’t just the great discoveries and technological developments, during his lifetime, that made a difference in people’s lives. The discovery of penicillin and vaccines against the great killers such as smallpox, whooping cough, diphtheria, yellow fever, tuberculosis and polio etc. not only saved lives, but encouraged smaller families, once more children were expected to survive to adulthood. Today it’s hard for us to understand the difference these vaccines made in people’s lives, but I still remember how my mother worried about the latest outbreak of Polio and how she ensured we all got the vaccination as soon as it was widely available. Finally, even mundane things like food changed over his life time as fresh foods gave way to processed and frozen foods that made seasonal foods available over the rest of the year and things like breakfast cereals appeared in grocery stores. On second thoughts, if he came back today I think he could deal with most of the changes since his death, given a little time to understand them, but he’d still want to drag me away from my beer and into church!
