The Valley’s Famous Highway Nordic Walker

I

f you’ve ever travelled further down the valley, I know you’ve seen him. A welcoming yet mysterious ambassador, there he so often is - trekking along the side of the highway between New Minas and Coldbrook, walking sticks in hand, and a huge smile plastered across his face.

Every time we pass him, my husband and I always wonder aloud a string of questions. Who is this guy? Why does he walk so much? Why does he walk along this dangerous highway of all places? And what makes him so happy?

I was pleasantly surprised to find a facebook group of more of than 600 people strong dedicated to this “Ski Pole Walking Man,” and received assistance from one of the group’s members in finding him for an interview. His name is Anthoney Wheeler, and he lives in New Minas. He’s a quite a character, and very positive with his own cute and corny brand of humour. When people approach him in the grocery store, asking if he’s the famous highway walker he always answers that they “must have him confused with his wife’s husband”. By his own description, he just celebrated the 27th anniversary of his 39th birthday. Anthoney is quick to add that he couldn’t do at 39 what he does now – which is to walk from Coldbrook to New Minas every day.

Indeed, Anthoney is quite an inspiration to those of us who have seen him walking. And it was he who was inspired to get healthier when both his mother and father died of cardiac arrest in 1994. Anthoney didn’t get started right away with walking.

Rather, his first step was to

get his stomach stapled as he weighed 329 pounds and knew that was putting his health in serious jeopardy. His doctor recommended that he exercise for 30 minutes a day. “I found out that walking releases natural endorphins and suppresses appetite,” says Anthoney. He calls it his awakening, and has been walking ever since, only missing a handful of days due to health or weather.

Anthoney’s wife drops him off at Frenchy’s every day. They do a little shopping, he picks up his free coffee from TAN (which he gets in exchange for wearing a shirt that declares that he is fuelled by their coffee), and he sets off walking to meet her back home. Anthoney jokes that he chooses to walk along the highway because, ”It’s safer than using a crosswalk in New Minas.”

(Though – joking aside – he does want there to be harsher fines for people who ignore cross-walkers.) After hearing more about his experiences though, it becomes clear that the positive energy Anthoney receives from all the people he sees is why he might walk along the busiest road he can find. “People are really looking out for you. The smiles and waves keep me going,” he says.

of what keeps him smiling on his walk. Yes, for those of you who have wondered what keeps him smiling so brightly, Anthoney declares that it’s what he’s listening to on his mp3 player. He listens to an audio version of the Old and New Testaments of The Bible, and gospel music, declaring “you are what you listen to.”

Anthoney loves to help cheer on others who are hoping to get healthier. He recommends adding Nordic walking sticks when you walk to help burn more calories, increase strength, and for more stability and security.

“Start where you are and add a little to it each day. Don’t worry about using them the wrong way.”

Before he started walking he used to drive just one block just to go get groceries, and “was killing [him]self with a fork.” Now, for 15 years, he’s addicted to the natural high that he gets from the exercise and not even the worst weather can stop him. Says Anthoney, “30 below is when that thermos of coffee really comes in handy!”

When I ask Anthoney if his family worries about his safety as he walks along the busy highway, he answers, “Yes, but I just tell them that [this is] grandpa taking his medicine, that it doesn’t matter if I get to my house in New Minas by the end of my walk or to my heavenly home.” Anthoney is a Christian, and says this is part

Valley Harvest is Giant Fun in the Valley Valley Pumpkin Fest 2010

F

or years, parts of the Annapolis Valley have made a destination out of our love for the orange fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) For 25 years, the Town of Kentville has wowed visitors with their Pumpkin People. In 1999, Windsor made a splash with the Pumpkin Regatta. Finally, in 2004, towns, municipalities and businesses from Kings and Hants Counties banded together to launch the first Annual Valley Pumpkin Fest - a month long fête filled with the very best the Valley has to offer; great restaurants, local wineries, galleries, and farm markets. Events were planned for the entire month of October, from Windsor to Kentville, and in every town and hamlet in between.

Each year since, Valley Pumpkin Fest has grown bigger and better.

The Valley Pumpkin Fest attracts locals and visitors alike with festivities stretching across the Valley, kicking off this year with a launch at Historic Churchill House in Hantsport on September 30th and including key events such as a celebration of 25 years of the Kentville Harvest Festival and it’s Pumpkin People beginning October 3rd and Windsor’s very popular Pumpkin Regatta (October 10th).

Hantsport’s annual Pumpkin Tea will feature Zelda the Fortune Teller, free freaky manicure and more… If you want something even more ghoulish then take in the Candlelight Cemetery Tour on October 16th at Hantsport’s Riverbank Cemetery or one of the

4 October Gravely Ghost Walks happening in Wolfville.

Wolfville will be hosting Pumpkin Palooza at the Wolfville Farmer’s Market (October 2nd). The Valley Harvest Marathon will run its second year on Thanksgiving Sunday (October 10th).

Still looking for more fun? We have it. There are grape stompings and dinner theatre, Halloween dances and corn mazes.

Harvest time is definitely giant fun in the valley so check the website for more details, visit www.valleypumpkinfest. ca and don’t forget to pick up your brochures at participating farm shops, U-picks, Visitor Information Centres and restaurants.

DILL’S ATLANTIC GIANT is the grand-daddy of all giant pumpkins. The present day record for this variety is an amazing 1689 lbs (767.7 kg) and it is common for the variety to produce 400- 500 pound (180-230 kg) fruit consistently.

Used mainly for fall fairs and International pumpkin competitions that are becoming

increasingly more popular around the world. Also perfect for huge jack o’lanterns and fall displays!

Fruit colours, vary from yellow to orange and the skin is slightly rough. Days to maturity-130.

Pumpkins prefer a location with full sun, sheltered from the wind. Soil should also be deeply tilled, high in humus and have adequate moisture. Fertilizer,

Professor’s Perspective:

Implications of a voluntary long form census: Selection Bias

O

n June 26 2010, the Federal government announced its plans of replacing the mandatory long form census with the National Household Survey (NHS) for the 2011 cycle. The long form census consists of questions aimed at gathering detailed background information on areas such as ethnic background, occupation, literacy, etc.

Government argues this change by appealing to the privacy wishes of Canadians. However, the House of Commons industry committee special hearing conducted on July 27 2010 indicates that there were 166 complaints out of the 12 million forms distributed during the last census.

Several factions of society, including the Chief Statistician of Canada, opposed the government’s move. Information gathered by the long form

census, distributed to 20% of the households in Canada, is used to develop policies that affect various groups in our society such as minorities, immigrants etc. The information obtained by the new voluntary survey would simply provide less reliable data since the sample produced from the new voluntary survey will not be representative of the Canadian population. Several studies show that information gathered from voluntary surveys, such as Survey of Consumer Finances or Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, exhibit systematic non-response bias and have a tendency to overstate the incomes of lowincome families and vice versa.

Industry Minister Tony Clement has argued that a larger number of responses could be received from the public by distributing a voluntary survey, increasing the accuracy of the information

gathered. This, as pointed out by the Former Chief Statistician Dr. Sheikh, is false. Gathering a larger number of responses from a nonrepresentative and non-random group of responses would neither provide higher quality data nor would it be a substitute for the long form census.

Consider the case for voluntary restaurant reviews provided by customers. What kind of customers would be more likely to take their time and write reviews?

It is more likely for customers that had either extremely good or bad experiences to take their time and provide feedback.

Consequently, it would be challenging to make decisions such as whether to operate the restaurant or not by relying on the information collected from such reviews since customers providing such feedback are likely to be outliers in the society

in terms of their experiences.

Moreover, collecting more surveys from such a particular subgroup of customers would not necessarily improve the quality of the information gathered either.

In conclusion, depreciating the value of the information gathered by the census is likely to have long-term consequences on the welfare of society, even though this might not be immediately clear to political authorities.

SIFE Acadia awarded opportunity to attend ACE Accelerator program

F

or the last two years ACE has sponsored three Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) program presidents and their faculty advisors to attend the SIFE World Cup, and to participate in the ACE Accelerator program. This year Acadia University student, David Paterson – incoming SIFE President for 2010/11 – and faculty advisor, Lisa Lowthers have received this honour.

The ACE Accelerator program gives students and faculty advisors the opportunity

experience the SIFE program in action around the world. They will be able to witness and meet with leading global student teams from over 40 countries as well as view their presentations on the SIFE world stage. Ultimately this will also help mentor the SIFE President, and foster success for the upcoming year.

“For years SIFE Acadia has struggled with member retention, project sustainability and funding”, explains SIFE Acadia President David Paterson.

“Receiving this sponsorship is a reflection of the dedication and determination of our previous leaders to rebuild SIFE Acadia into the strong team we are today. I am confident that the demonstration of entrepreneurial spirit at the SIFE World Cup will inspire me to do everything possible to follow in the footsteps

of the World’s top SIFE teams.”

The Grapevine

Sept 30 - Oct 14, 2010

Horoscopes for week of September 30th, 2010 © Copyright 2010 Rob Brezsny ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nine-year-old Fatima Santos told the San Francisco Chronicle her opinions about the movie Toy Story: “If I had to make a movie like this, I would make it funnier. I would make Mr. Potato Head look funnier that he already does. I would put his hair on his legs, his shoes on his head, and his arms on his face. His eyeballs would be on the place where his arms are.” In the coming week, Aries, I advise you to engage in Fatima’s enlightened style of cockeyed thinking.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have the power and the mandate to improve pretty much every scenario you’re in by making it less predictable, more rambunctious, and just plain funnier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Everything is dreamed first,” wrote French poet Gilbert Trolliet. French philosopher Gaston Bachelard agreed, adding, “Creative reverie animates the nerves of the future.”

Your task in the coming weeks, Libra, is to act on those clues: Conjure up pictures in your mind that foreshadow the life you want to be living next year. Proceed on the assumption that you now have extraordinary power to generate self-fulfilling prophecies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): During one phase of my life, I walked

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know me: I hate to sound sensationalistic. But in honor of this dramatic moment in your story, I’ll risk it.

So be alert! Heads up! Get real! A pivotal moment is upon you! What you do in the coming dayss will ultimately determine how you will interpret the entire past year, shaping the contours of your history for better or worse! I advise maximum integrity! I suggest thorough preparation! I urge timely action! Decisions should come from the roots, not the surface! Climaxes should be mediated by the heart and head together, not just one or the other!

a mile five days a week to get to a bus stop. On the last stretch of the journey, I had to pass a shabby house next to a vacant lot. On the porch was a German shepherd, always unchained and in a state of irritation.

After some close calls, when his agitated barking propelled him perilously close to me, I arrived upon a technique that settled him down: I sang nursery rhymes and lullabies. “Three Blind Mice” was his favorite, but there were others that also calmed him sufficiently to allow me safe passage. Something comparable may work for you, Taurus, as you navigate past the crabby wretches and twitchy pests and pathetic demons in the coming days. My advice is to shift the energy with a charming bit of innocuous play. Avoid confrontations.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to anthropologist Robin Dunbar, it’s impossible for any of us to have more than 150 friends. The human brain literally can’t process the intimate information required to sustain more than that. But if there were super-freaks who could crack that limit, it would be members of the Gemini tribe, especially during the coming weeks. You now have an uncanny ability to cultivate bubbly connections, be extra close to your buddies, and drum up new alliances.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are ever so close to coming all the way home. For months you have been edging toward this welcoming source, and now you’re almost there. I’m not sure about the specific details. Maybe it means you’ll soon be in the place where your potentials will finally ripen. Perhaps you’re ready to make peace with your past or accept your family members exactly as they are. It’s possible you’ve found your ideal tribe or community, and are ready to integrate your uniqueness with its special blend of energies. Who knows? Maybe you’re ready to give yourself completely to the life-changing mission that has been calling and calling and calling you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let’s say I was the director of a grade

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I have good intuition about fate’s

school play that included outdoor scenes, and you were a student trying out for a part. My inclination would be to offer you the role of the big oak tree, which would be on stage for much of the show but have no spoken lines to deliver. Would you accept my invitation with enthusiasm, and play the part with panache? I realize that on the surface, it may not seem like your performance would be of central importance.

But as director I’d hope to be able to draw out of you a vibrant commitment to being steady and rooted. I’d rely on you to provide the strong, reassuring background that would encourage the actors in the foreground to express themselves freely.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “In times of change, learners inherit the

Earth,” wrote philosopher Eric Hoffer, “while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

Wouldn’t you prefer to put the emphasis on learning rather than on being learned, Leo? This is a good time to get the hang of that; cosmic rhythms will work in your favor if you do. My advice: Take action to intensify your commitment to education. Seek out new teachings. Think hard about the lessons you want to study in the coming years.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I was tardy in planting my garden this year -- more than two months late. My batch of seedlings didn’t find their way into my patch of dirt until July 2. I humbly apologized to them for my procrastination, then made amends with a tireless campaign to provide them with extraordinary care -- organic fertilizer, regular watering, impeccable weeding, steady songs of encouragement. And by September the zucchini were booming, the pumpkins were thriving, the watermelons were unstoppable, and the cucumbers were riffing with abandon. Take inspiration from my example, Virgo. Your plans may have gotten delayed, but don’t let that demoralize you. There’s still time to launch the project or crusade you’ve been dreaming about.

general trends, but I don’t think of myself as psychic when it comes to foreseeing specific events. I’ve never been able to predict winning lottery numbers, for example. But lately I’m wondering if that’s changing. I seem to be developing a knack for prognosticating certain sports events. For example, on three occasions I have hallucinated a golden cup floating in mid-air a short time before Albert Pujols, a Capricorn who plays for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, hits a homerun. So I wonder what it means that right now, as I’m studying your astrological omens and meditating on your future, I’m flashing on an image of three golden cups filled with champagne. It’s 2:15 in the morning, and the Cardinals aren’t playing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Paws Up resort in Montana offers “glamping,” or glamorous camping. For the right price, you can sleep in a feather bed with fine linens, comfortably ensconced inside a roomy, heated tent that has artwork on the walls. And all the while you’re surrounded by the great outdoors. I’m not specifically suggesting that you go to Paws Up, but I do recommend that you seek an experience that gives you an invigorating dose of raw elegance and untamed sweetness -- some situation that allows you to satisfy your animal longing for wildness while at the same time indulging your human yearning for blissful repose.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When I urge you to salvage and re-use old stuff, I’m not really suggesting that you find a purpose for the elastic from worn-out underwear or empty prescription bottles. That would be fine, but I’m thinking primarily of less literal, more poetic reclamation projects. Like dusting off faded dreams and refitting them with futuristic replacement parts. Or planting an October garden of earthly delights in the compost of July’s and August’s discarded pleasures. Or retooling a relationship that has lost its way, transforming it into a vibrant connection with a new reason for being.

Mike Uncorked:

Songs in the Key of Something!

D

o you know what the songs Crocodile Rock, Bohemian Rhapsody and These Boots are Made for Walking have in common?

These are the first three songs I ever sang at Karaoke!

I have a great appreciation for the ART of karaoke and for those who participate. In case you haven’t heard, karaoke is the ancient bar and party sport of reading fluorescent lyrics from a small TV screen and singing them to the instrumental music played behind you. As a kid growing up in Kentville, anyone in my family can vouch for me when I write that for nearly 15 years I begged for a karaoke machine but my mother refused to buy one for me- that’s why I love my Aunt Wendy who felt bad and did! Now, at Christmas parties, weddings, and other social events, I can gather with my clan and roar my buttocks off at my Aunt singing Johnny Cash or my Uncle singing Abba.

There are two types of people who participate in said sport: There’s the participant who is sober, takes it seriously, studies the songs before performing and gives their very best performance, usually believing they are actually better than the original artist. And there’s also the participant who requires a mixture of alcohol and peer pressure to muster up the courage to warble through the most ludicrous song selection in the endless catalog of music provided, forgetting the lyrics, burping into the microphone and believing they are actually better than the original artist. Ladies and gentlemen, these two kinds of participants do share a commonality- they are both having the time of their life, which is what karaoke is all about.

wearing pearls in the kitchen Brought to you by:

appy Thanksgiving everyone! What is something for which you are most thankful? For me, it’s a no-brainer. The people in my life, I couldn’t live without any of them. I would do anything for them. Usually, what I do for them is cook, and none of them really seem to mind. I also couldn’t live without mashed potatoes with my Thanksgiving dinner. Follow this recipe and feed them to your loved ones and they’ll be smiling as they take their turkey nap ~ Victoria Comeau

Acorns Oak Leaves Juniper Berries Orange Peel Hawthorn Berries Calendula Horse Chestnuts Echinacea Flowers/Seed Heads Sage

Mix with a few drops of each of the following essential oils:

Directions

1. Peel and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water; add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a simmer. If using a potato ricer, fill another saucepan with water; place over low heat. Keep potatoes at a low simmer until a knife slips in and out easily. Drain potatoes in a colander. Place milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

2. If using an electric mixer with paddle attachment, proceed to Step 4. If using a potato ricer, place a heat-proof bowl or top of a double boiler over a pan of simmering water. Press hot, drained potatoes through ricer into bowl.

3. Stir potatoes with a wooden spoon until smooth, about 1 minute.

Using a whisk, incorporate butter. Drizzle in hot milk, whisking continuously. Add pepper, nutmeg, and salt to taste; whisk to combine. Serve immediately.

4. For the electric-mixer method, transfer hot, drained potatoes to bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed, until most lumps have disappeared, about 1 minute. Add butter; mix until blended. On low speed, add hot milk in a slow stream, and then add pepper, nutmeg, and salt to taste. Mix to combine.

Acadia Students Ride 275 km Tip 2 Tip for Africa

L

ooking to rest, relax and eat turkey over Thanksgiving weekend? Not for this group of Acadia students! From October 9th to 11th, four students from the university will participate in Tip 2 Tip for Africa 2010 - a three day and 275 kilometre bike ride along the Confederation Trail on Prince Edward Island. Students Christina Muehlberger, Lauren Hanna, and siblings Ali and Jordan Vervaeke will join riders from across the country in the annual fundraising event, which raises money for two charities that provide micro-finance loans and support local health projects in Africa.

small businesses, to become selfsustaining and to break the cycle of poverty. Mikinduri Children of Hope is an organization based out of PEI that works to help relieve the effects of poverty in Kenya. The organization works with local leaders, organizations, and international partners to provide resources and knowledge to assist the people of Kenya.

Current projects include improving health by providing sources of clean water, supporting agricultural, food, shelter, and medical projects, and introducing economic development ideas to create jobs and raise the standard of living.

The Townships Project is a registered Canadian charity that supports South African microfinance institutions that provide loans to entrepreneurs, primarily women, to operate

To participate in the Tip 2 Tip event, the Acadia team must raise $1600 in support of these two charities. The students have created a website that has bios of the riders, more information

on the event, and a convenient online giving option (www. vervpei.myevent.com/). Jordan has been busy asking businesses in Wolfville to put out collection jars for people to give, and Lauren says the team is hoping that they will be able to find one or two corporate sponsors in the community and through the university. In addition, Christina says “We are really counting on the generosity of our friends and family to help us make a large donation to these organizations, and to make a great contribution on behalf of our school.”

If you would like to support Team Acadia by making a tax-deductible donation or for more information on the event and how you can help, please visit the team’s website at http://www.vervpei. myevent.com or email Lauren at 095752h@acadiau.ca.

Lisa Hammett Vaughan: The Coordinator!

F

acilitate, Organize, Manage, Harmonize, Direct and Assist. Lisa Hammett Vaughan does all the above. I have known Lisa for many years as the lady with the dog! She just came off a busy weekend but wanted to take time to sit with me so I could get to know her a bit more. My schedule is very packed, I’m all over the place with meetings and rehearsals so it seemed I couldn’t find time to sit and chat- but Lisa took charge and set up our meeting- It didn’t take me long to realize why she was so good at this sort of thing!

For more then fourteen years Lisa has also worked with the community employment program run by Flowercart, which offers supported employment to men and women with intellectual disabilities.

She loves the team and the framework of this job but what makes it really special is meeting the needs of those who come into the program.

Last weekend, I sat in awe at the performances during Deep Roots and was blown away thinking of the countless hours it takes to put on such a unique festivalLisa made sure my thinking was replaced by fact. Lisa has been the Deep Roots Festival Committee Coordinator for the past 7 years. The festival is very much a team/volunteer run event with Lisa facilitating all areas.

She leads the meetings, handles inter-committee communication and actively recruits committee members and festival volunteers and makes sure all the “I’s” are dotted and the “T’s” are crossed.

Congratulations Lisa on a great weekend! And even though the festival has ended, work continues as the committee does follow up reports, tidying up loose ends and starts budgeting for next year.

Knowing her involvement with Deep Roots, I was very interested in hearing what musical abilities she had. Much to my surprise, there’s no music coming out of Lisa- like me; she can’t carry a tune in a brief case, so she lives by the philosophy that “someone has to be a listener!” And as Lisa continued to run our interview she spilled the beans about the one thing she chooses NOT to facilitate: her marriage (Everyone should know that she recently got married on July 27th to her sweetheart James Henry McLellan III.) Lisa treats her volunteering as her hobby for that is how she stays connected with the community.

I tell people I am FROM Wolfville and so does Lisa. She was born in England and has lived in many places but Wolfville is where she is FROM. The homey feeling of

Wolfville is what Lisa loves most and that everyone smiles and waves even if they don’t know you. She loves the art, music and film-loving people that surround her and takes full advantage of the plethora of events the area offers, especially the Farmer’s Market and the great walking environment for her dogs Miranda and Miles.

To close, Lisa, the Ultimate Volunteer, even takes times to help edit the Grapevine before it goes to print. So what you just read must have been okay, because she had the final seal of approval!

can often be found selling souvenirs to “out of towners” at a local landmark. Now, when working in the main gift shop, you experience everyone who comes through the door, catching people who are looking for the restaurant, going to the bathroom, and looking for the mini golf. It was one of those days when the people seemed to be showing up out of nowhere, and just weren’t stopping. A younger lady came out of the bathroom and up to the main cash; this tends to be one of my pet peeves, as it never ends well (but that’s a story for another day). On the back of one of the toilets, she had found a wallet, with a

considerable amount of cash in it. Of course, it is easy enough to identify the owner when you have their ID in your possession, but contacting them proves to be difficult. We put it behind the counter, with a note, saying where it was found. Not long after, we received a phone call from the frantic owner, who was then relieved to hear it had been found.

When they came to get it, and found all the cash accounted for, they continued on their way to enjoy their vacation. I think this just goes to show, there are still honest people out there. ~Lorna
