Tucked away on the picturesque shores of Georgian Bay, the Festival of the Sound (FOTS) marks its 40th anniversary with a three-week birthday bash that runs between July 19 through August 10.
And the reason for its success as one of the country’s premier chamber music festivals is simple, according to artistic director, renowned Canadian-American clarinettist James Campbell who has helmed FOTS for an equally astonishing 34 years.

“Because Parry Sound wants it,”
the artist says modestly from Bloomington, Indiana, where he recently retired
from his 40-year faculty teaching position at Indiana University Jacobs School
of Music. “A lot of people ask, how can this all happen in this small northern
Ontario town? But it’s the community, as well as the strength of the Board and
volunteers that continues to support it.
The local residents really do feel
they own it, and it’s part of their DNA now. It’s not my festival. I work for them.”

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
Sleep, the super power. Matt
Walker is s phenomenal and engaging speaker. It is terrifying to hear the
harmful effects of sleep deprivation, as I am incredibly guilty of this.
Matt shared the statistics involved in sleep deprivation related to
daylight savings time, and I could see how the loss of sleep could cause 24%
increase in cardiovascular incidents, car accidents and suicide. I was shocked
to learn that sleep deprivation also affects DNA function, and increases the
risk of cancer. I guess I better start sleeping!
I
really like how you have this set up on here!
Thank you so much for the effort you have brought forward to create such
high-quality programming!
-- Angela
Koch, Rotary Club of Lloydminster, District 5370
Wonderful discussion on Sleep deprivation. Went right to bed with my sleep-assist
bulldog, Puddle. …Seriously, this explains
a lot of what most of us have probably seen over the years.
-- Jim Kenyon, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Nature is everywhere.
Great content! Thank you!
-- Doug Dyer, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Very timely story about 50 years of Rotaract. The Rotaract Club of San Juan de la Maguana
in the Dominican Republic (the city where I spend most of my time these days)
is celebrating their 50th birthday this Rotary year! They are working on a special project that
will have a long-lasting effect on the community.
-- Peter Denooy, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Nature is all around us. Emma
Harris discusses how nature that is around us should be protected - not just
areas inclusive to national parks.
Everything should be protected as well. We need to protect plants and
species of animals within our own living environment.
-- Michael Thomas, Rotary Club of Stony Plain, District 5370.
Emma Harris presents her idea of nature in a challenging
way. Agree or disagree, a nature
equilibrium is only a temporal matter affected by a multitude of internal and
external pressures.
Also, good
educational video about British Columbia. I would have liked to know how we
lost part of the coastline that is now Alaska.
-- Jean-Michel Crepin, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
E-Club Water Project, Subriana, Honduras. West El
Paso Rotary Club is on a border city with Mexico. Juarez, Chih, Mexico. Through the grants program, we have
participated in water projects. It will
change people’s lives. We congratulate
your club for a very important project.
-- Salvador Gonzalez-Barney, West El Paso Rotary Club, District
5520
Really appreciated the Food for Thought segment, not only inspirational
but educational; an initiative that really deserves support.
This week’s program was a great reminder of Mother Nature’s role in our lives. Many years ago, my brother went on an expedition to the Amazon Rain Forest ((Peru, Ecuador) with the Royal Alberta Museum to go “bug collecting” and he came back with similar perspectives in terms of appreciating nature, celebrating it and protecting it. I’ve passed that on to my children. On a lighter note, that still has not excused me from mowing MY lawn, as much as I’ve tried!
--John Wojcicki, Rotary Club of Edmonton, District 5370

Food for thought
Why are we afraid of new food?
Submitted by David Werrett
How does the brain influence the way we taste things? Why some new food become a landmark recipe while others are forgotten? A new collaboration between neuroscientists and chefs reveals how the brain influence the way we taste food.

From mourning orcas to distressed elephants, biological
anthropologist Barbara J. King has witnessed grief and love across the animal
kingdom.
In this eye-opening talk, she explains the evidence behind her belief
that many animals experience complex emotions, and suggests ways all of us can
treat them more ethically -- including every time we eat. "Animals don't
grieve exactly like we do, but this doesn't mean that their grief isn't
real," she says. "It is real, and it's searing, and we can see it if
we choose."
