President’s Report By Ray Lamoureux
The summer is going by fast and we will return to Golden
Acres in less than two months now. We are returning on October 3rd
for the winter it seems like we just left. A lot has happen since the
last newsletter. Dave e-mailed me that a large storm hit Dunedin and
took down power lines and a transformer on Fourth Street. It also
took out our street lights and underground wiring for the street lights.
Dave had an electrician replace the wires and converted all the street
lights to LED lights. Karin and Dave have been working on the
clubhouse sign and the Golden Acres residents' sign. The park
continues to run while most of us are away having a good time.
All owners should have received your vote by now for the sprinkler installation in the
clubhouse. Please fill it out and return it in the self-addressed envelope as soon as you can. We
need a fifty percent plus one no votes to not require installing sprinklers in the clubhouse. If you
did not receive a vote please call Heidi LeVac at Progressive Management to request a vote.
The board will be receiving the proposed budget for 2017. The board will go over the
proposed budget and approve it to be sent out to the owners. The budget meeting has been
changed from November 9th to November 16th so the whole board can attend.
Jonathan Demonte's office will longer handle the sales for units. He will still be involved
with the issuance of the share so we won’t run into title issues again. The lawyer that will be
handling the sales is in Largo and her name is Mary McManus Taylor. The change came about a
new law enacted last year. Jonathan hopes the move to the new lawyer will be seamless and we
will not see the change.
The board hopes everyone is having a safe and happy summer.

From the Editor’s Desk By Sue Bailey [email protected]
Greetings:
September, the ninth month of the year, is when a well known
holiday is observed. Labor Day will be celebrated on the fifth of the
month this year. I am also looking forward to the autumn equinox
(beginning of fall) on September 22nd when hopefully we will have
some cooler weather here at Golden Acres.
An Ice Cream Social was held at the clubhouse and you can
read about it in this month's newsletter. In addition, a beautiful
memorial was written by Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home - Stayner Chapel for Fraser Muir
and provided to me for the newsletter by his wife Joan Muir (unit 19) and family. Several GA
residents attended Fraser's Funeral and Ron & Nancy Short (unit 44) were able to capture a
picture of all of them. AquaFit's instructors have some great news to announce for this month's
newsletter. A special achievement was acquired by Bill & Kay Erickson's (unit 210) grandson
Michael. Roz Frabotta (unit 94) keeps us informed of what's been going on in her life this
summer. Carol Spinney (unit 187) had a good time with family as well. Many thanks to all that
provided articles and pictures for the September newsletter.
Until next time,
May God bless and keep you well and safe…
Greetings from the Office By Karin Desmone
Happy September to All!!! I have to ask of all residents
that you do not use the office as a mailing address. The office
can’t be responsible for accepting deliveries on your behalf. The
office is open three hours daily Monday through Thursday and
closed on Friday’s. Packages dropped off after hours will sit
outside and be subject to inclement weather as well as theft. The
Office can’t be responsible for damaged and lost parcels. Please
make other arrangements if you are not going to be in the park to
accept your packages. Thanks for your understanding.
Many residents have phoned from their summer residences
with their return date to the park. Thank you very much for the
information. Upon your return, please make sure that you are
signing in at the office or in the library. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Obituary for Fraser Muir By Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home - Stayner Chapel
I n M e m o r y o f Fraser Alexander Muir
Muir, Fraser Alexander
Fraser was born in Westville, Nova Scotia, on June 27, 1924, and died
at home in Wasaga Beach, ON, surrounded by his family and all of our
love on July 7, 2016. Survived by his dear wife of 62 years Joan Marie
(nee MacDonald) of Sydney NS, and his five children; Donald
(Heather) of Toronto, ON, Sheona Ayles (John) of Quesnel, BC, Ellen
(Dan Novosad) of Rosemere, QC, Sandy (Heather) of Calgary, AB and
Brenda (Dalton Wenstob) of Edmonton, AB, and ten grandchildren,
Heather, Jennice, Alex, Andrew, Jenna, Quinn, Riley, Fraser, Saoirse, Tobias and great
grandson, Carson. Also survived by his niece and nephew Vicki (Nelson) Dengler of Gentry, AR
and Robert Muir, of Dublin CA. Fraser joined the RCAF at the age of 18 and served as a mid
upper gunner on the Lancaster completing 36 sorties with 50 Squadron in Bomber Command.
After he returned, he graduated from St. Francis Xavier University where he met the love of his
life via a snowball on St. F.X. Day, Dec 3rd, 1947. Hired by Air Canada in Halifax, he spent the
bulk of his 30 year career in Montreal living in Rosemere, QC, for 44 years where he served on
town council for 23 of those years. He called Wasaga Beach home for the past 13 years, a setting
where he routinely exercised his passion for photography capturing sunsets as God intended for
them to be seen. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus and the Royal Canadian
Legion, RCAF Wing 441, and served on countless committees and executive bodies of
community and church organizations, including the National Executive for several years with the
Air Canada Pionairs. His most notable accolades for his gift of always putting others' needs
before his own are being among the first of inductees into the Hall of Thought at St. F. X.
University where he was described as “a man whose creeds are sharing and self-sacrifice”. He
was also recognized by the Canadian government with the Citation for Citizenship Award, as
well as, being presented with the Legion of Honour from the Republic of France. His flight to
heaven was direct - God’s reward for having dedicated his life to the service of his country,
community, church and family. His dry wit and sense of humour meant many a laugh was shared
throughout his life and he continued to make us laugh in his final days. A world traveller, a
gifted storyteller, a deep listener, a magnificient dancer with only one dance partner. Godspeed,
Dad, your life and love changed the world. Friends will be received on Monday, July 11, 2016 at
Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home - Wasaga Chapel, 509 River Road West, from 2-4 pm and
7-9 pm. Funeral Mass to be held on Tuesday, July 12th, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Noel Chabanel
Catholic Church, 133 Dunkerron Avenue, Wasaga Beach. Thanks to Doctors Holloway, Lisi,
Pressnail, and the St. Elizabeth Nurses and PSWs. Your compassion during this sacred journey
for Fraser matters. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Campbell House Hospice in Collingwood,
Ontario, are welcome, though an act of kindness in his name would be equally appreciated.
Carruthers & Davidson Funeral Home - Stayner Chapel is located in the province of Ontario,
Canada.

Summertime Update By Roz Frabotta
It's been a very busy and fun
time since leaving our
snowbird paradise. The
travel bug has bit me and I've
hit the road a couple of times
already....returned to Vegas
for another quick trip in May
and enjoyed my annual
"Girls Getaway" trip to
Findley Lake, NY in June.
That's always a blast and this
year I was able to spend a bit
of time with GA friends Kurt
and Gail Novakowski on
their turf in nearby Erie, PA!
Next stops: Baseball "road trip" to California in August for the Tribe series against Oakland and
South Bend for the Notre Dame-Michigan State game in September!

AquaFit News By Nancy Baker
Marlene Scott, who has taught
and developed programs as a
volunteer at the YMCA, has decided
to retire after more than 25 years. In
the past, she has been awarded a
lifetime membership for her service
to the Y to show their appreciation
for her dedication to fitness and
Aquafit in particular. Upon her
retirement, she was presented with a
bouquet of flowers and many hugs
from her classes as noted in the
photos.
Nevertheless, she says she will
continue to teach Aquafit at the
Golden Acres pool so get your suits
out and get ready to have fun again in
the water. She is looking forward to
returning to Golden Acres in the fall,
as we all are.

Ice Cream Social By Timmie Strader Pics by Sue Bailey
The cream social, held on Thursday, July 21st, was such a success we decided to consider
it the " FIRST ANNUAL". Approximately 30 people were enjoying the ice cream with all the
toppings or the floats. It seems like lots of the people stayed and visited with neighbors they
haven't seen for awhile. Thanks Donna Delf , Marsha Baylor, and Norma Miller for all of your
help. A special extra thanks goes to Mary Capone and Norma Miller who helped me call the
residents so I didn't have to deliver flyers in this heat.
I hope everyone is enjoying this summer and the activities we have planned. It's so nice
to get together without leaving the Park. We have planned a pizza and a movie night in August
and a Pot Luck Dinner is planned for September.
Thanks everyone for making this summer one for all to enjoy right here in wonderful
Golden Acres!
Editor's Note: A special thanks to Timmie Strader for organizing the ice cream social and all the
activities for the summer. It has been very enjoyable!

Visit to Prince Edward Island By Carol Spinney
I spent 10 days on Prince Edward Island visiting my son and family in Charlottetown PEI
and then Parlee Beach in Shediac, NB where they have a summer home.
I enjoyed a visit with Bea Rochford in her lovely home. Her daughter, Barb, drove us
around the area and downtown historical sites. The island may be small but it is a big part of
Canadian history. PEI is a beautiful, beautiful place with rolling hills, many farms and beaches
too numerous to count. I have enjoyed the low humidity.
I fly back to Dunedin August 9th and 2 days later fly to OH to visit Roz Frabotta, Peg
Slapak and other folks I know in area.
