ROSE HARDEN WORKSHOP/SHOW I met Rose Harden about 7 years on Salt Spring Island, BC. Rose had traveled there from San Francisco to visit her cousin, Andrea, who was one of my belly dance students & troupe members. I didn't know much about Rose

April 26 -May 10, 2012

It is interesting that San Francisco is the current hotbed of belly dance as a performance art. Tribal Fusion belly dance has been a strong force there for over a decade & many of us travel there to work with the best teachers.

Rose is fast becoming a soughtafter performer & teacher. Perhaps one of her biggest successes is her work as a guest dancer with the very popular Beats Antique, whose music is a blend of electronica & Middle Eastern rhythms.

On Friday, April 27th, she, along with belly dancers from all around the Maritimes, will be performing at the “Rose Hips Belly Dance Show” at 7 pm at the Wolfville Farmer's Market.

Tickets are $12 at the door. On April 28th & 29th, the workshops will be held at “The Coop” at 945 Church St., Port Williams. It will be catered by “The Hip Rose Catering Company” (notice all the “rose” energy!!!) For more info: sisterlotus.com.

Pete's in Wolfville Foodies rejoice! During the week of May 7th - 12th (there’s no firm date yet), Pete’s will be the opening in Wolfville’s Warehouse Mall. Dianne Hamilton, Pete Luckett’s Chief Operating Officer, shared with The Grapevine reasons to get excited for this new 11500 square-foot grocery store.

“We believe that Wolfville and the surrounding area is our prime demographic. Pete and I both have a heart for the area (she grew up in Kentville while Pete's been living in the Gaspereau Valley for a while now) and it's a wonderful opportunity to employ many local people.” In fact, all of the 70-75 staff (60% being full-time) will be local because, “We want to have a strong relationship with the community. People are number 1 at Pete’s and customer satisfaction is only equal to staff satisfaction.”

This is going to be everything Pete

April 26 -May 10, 2012

Why is there a Yoga Day for Human Rights?

Yoga has eight limbs, the first of which is Ahimsa. Ahimsa is sometimes stated as non-violence or compassion for all living thing. The word ahimsa literally means not to injure or show cruelty to any creature or any person in any way whatsoever. Ahimsa is, however, more than just lack of violence as adapted in yoga. It means kindness, friendliness, and thoughtful consideration of other people and things.

It also has to do with our duties and responsibilities too. Ahimsa implies that in every situation we should adopt a considerate attitude and do no harm.

At Inner Sun we encourage students to be respectful of how they treat their bodies. Students who come the April 28th classes can make a donation to Amnesty International which is dedicated to reducing harm to those experiencing or at risk of torture. When we come to this day of classes we live our practice of Ahimsa. Thank you to the teachers who are giving freely of their time and talents on this day. ~ Inner Sun Yoga Studio. See page 8 and 9

Lorne Elliott Brings Comedy Mayhem to MIPAC in May The Mermaid Imperial Performing Arts Centre will present the comedy of Lorne Elliott on Saturday, May 5th at 8pm.

With his barely tamed hair, his rubbery face and his miniature guitar, the Canadian musical comedian is the master of all that is silly, side-splitting and strange. Combining dry humour with musical numbers and skits, Elliott is a shrewd observer of the behaviour of the Canadian human animal. Often self-deprecating and never profane, Elliott’s funny is family-friendly and his ability to entertain is as keen as his wit.

Elliott has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Well known as the host of his own CBC

Radio Comedy Series, Elliott has been performing professionally on stage for decades. He has performed his one-man show in theatres, universities and clubs.

He opened concerts for Rodney Dangerfield in New York City and Jay Leno in Montreal. He has made regular appearances at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival since it started in 1986. He is also an award-winning playwright and his plays are regularly produced across Canada.

Tickets are $28 ($26 for students and seniors), and are available at Moe's Place Music Sales, 129 Gerrish Street, Windsor or by calling 798-5565. All taxes and charges included. For more information, please see mermaidtheatre.ns.ca

Acadia Perspective: Beaubassin – A research gem for Acadia the agreement was signed, Arthur Irving was the Chancellor of Acadia and past President of DUC. According to Geoff Harding, Manager of Major Projects for DUC, “the Irvings felt that the old farmhouse could be upgraded to support researchers from Acadia to do meaningful research on issues of interest to DUC, Acadia and IOL.” By July 2009, the farmhouse had been completely renovated into a field laboratory facility (incorporating equipment from Acadia’s former Biology building, Patterson Hall), with sleeping quarters for at least 15 guests and a boardroom for 20 people.

David Duke at the Tantramar Marshes “The Beaubassin region is an extremely important site,” explains David MacKinnon (’74), Acadia’s Dean of Research and Graduate Studies. “The research opportunities are immense.”

The Beaubassin Field Station is a research gem tucked away in the Tantramar Marshes on the Nova Scotia – New Brunswick Border. The project began in 1985 when Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) began acquiring and developing freshwater wetlands in the region. In 1996, Irving Oil Limited (IOL) joined the project and since then, 1000 acres of land, including an 1862 farmhouse have been acquired.

In 2008, Acadia signed a 10-year research agreement to study wetlands and waterfowl in the area. The following year, IOL, Acadia and DUC signed a Funding Partners Agreement that outlined areas of common interest and agreed to explore the development of an overall Acadian Ecosystem Research Strategy. The first of these milestones was the establishment of the Beaubassin Field Station.

“This research opportunity,” says MacKinnon “has really come to Acadia because of the efforts of Arthur and Sandra Irving.” When

“Not only is the Beaubassin region an ideal wetland region,” explains MacKinnon, “but it is also a place of historical significance.” This means that the research happening at the Beaubassin Field Station is trans-disciplinary.

“We have research happening there in biology, environmental science, geology and history,” says MacKinnon.

Dr. Ian Spooner from the Department of Earth and Environmental Science is studying the lakes in the region to understand how natural changes, short term climate change and human activity affect the lakes. Dr. Phil Taylor, of the Biology Department is conducting radar studies of bird migration as the region is part of a major migratory pathway for ducks, songbirds and shorebirds.

Drs. David Duke, Barry Moody (’67) and Stephen Henderson (‘89) from the Department of History and Classics are examining the historical significance of the site. The land was first inhabited by the Mi’qmaw, and then became one of the largest Acadian settlements.

Henderson is researching transportation across and through the Isthmus of Chignecto since the mid-19th century and the cultural idea of the Tantramar Marshes in the 20th century. “This is a space that humans have long dreamed of manipulating, but they are also (occasionally) humbled by the natural forces and geography there.” Moody’s area of interest rests on agricultural patterns, especially in marshland agriculture, and social and cultural development in the Chignecto Isthmus.

The Beaubassin example demonstrates the opportunities presented by trans-disciplinary research involving the humanities and the applied sciences. Partnerships such as those with the Irving family and Ducks Unlimited place Acadia at the forefront of research that works to understand and explain our world.

The history team’s research is supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Aid to Small Universities (ASU) grant. Duke is examining resiliency and sustainability in the Beaubassin area: historically, how do people recover from natural disasters? How do different groups of people, over time, construct their lives around the land, and, how does the land change people?

The Grapevine

Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology for week of April 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "True life is lived when tiny changes occur," said Leo Tolstoy.

I agree. It's rare for us to undergo rapid, dramatic transformations in short periods of time.

That's why it's delusional to be forever pining for some big magic intervention that will fix everything. The best way to alter our course is slowly and gradually, by conscientiously revamping our responses to the small daily details. Keep these thoughts close at hand in the coming weeks, Aries. Be a devotee of the incremental approach. Step-bystep. Hour-by-hour.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "What people really need and demand from life is not wealth, comfort, or esteem, but games worth playing," said psychiatrist Thomas Szasz. I love that thought, and am excited to offer it up to you right now.

You have been invited or will soon be invited to participate in some of the best games ever.

These are not grueling games foisted on you by people hoping to manipulate you, nor pointless games that exhaust your energy for naught. Rather, they are fun challenges that promise to stretch your intelligence, deepen your perspective, and enhance your emotional riches.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Is

it conceivable that you've gotten a bit off track? As I close my eyes and ask my higher powers for a psychic vision, I get an impression of you staring at a blurry image of a symbol that is no longer an accurate representation of your life goal. Now of course there's a chance that my vision is completely unfounded. But if it does ring at least somewhat true to you -- if it suggests a question worth asking yourself -- I invite you to meditate on the possibility that you need to update your understanding of what your ultimate target looks like.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): From an astrological point of view, it's prime time for you to attend a networking extravaganza or collaboration spree. Likewise, this is an excellent phase in your long-term cycle to organize a gathering for the close allies who will be most important in

helping you carry out your master plan during the next 12 months.

Have you ever heard of the term "Temporary Autonomous Zone"?

It's a time and place where people with shared interests and common values can explore the frontiers of productive conviviality. It might be a dinner party in an inspirational setting, a boisterous ritual in a rowdy sanctuary, or a private festival for fellow seekers. I hope you make sure something like that materializes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): To

begin one of his performances, comedian and musician Steve Martin ambled on stage and told his audience what to expect.

"Before every show," he said, "I like to do one thing that is impossible. So now I'm going to suck this piano into my lungs."

That's the kind of brag I hope to hear coming from you sometime soon, Leo -- the more outrageous the better. Why? Because I'd love to see you cultivate a looser, breezier relationship with your actual ambitions. To make boastful jokes about wacky or farfetched goals might inspire you to be jauntier and friskier about those real ones. And that would rouse a burst of fresh motivational energy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The text for this week's oracle comes from Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), a great American statesman who, after escaping slavery, became a leader of the abolitionist movement. "Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation," he said, "are people who want crops without plowing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning . . . The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle.

Power concedes nothing without a demand." Please apply these thoughts to your own situation, Virgo. You have entered the liberation phase of your cycle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I'm about to list some declarations that I hope will come out of your mouth at least once in the next three weeks. If for any reason you're not finding yourself in situations where these words

would make sense for you to utter, please rearrange your life accordingly. 1. "There's nothing else I'd rather be doing right now."

2. "Is it okay with you if we take this really slow?" 3. "No one's ever done that before." 4. "Squeeze my hand when it feels really amazing." 5. "It's like we know what each other is thinking." 6.

"Can I have some more, please?"

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A political strategist told me one of her most important rules: To win an election, you have to help your candidate choose the right fights. I think that would be an excellent guiding principle for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be getting invitations to spar, joust, and wrangle. Although it might be exciting to leap into each and every fray with your eyes blazing, I suggest you show careful discernment. Try to confine your participation to those tangles that will downplay your weaknesses and highlight your strengths.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21): In the famous children's book The Little Prince, the hero lives on an asteroid with three volcanoes, two active and one dormant.

One day he decides to leave home and travel to other realms.

Before departing, he meticulously scours all three volcanoes. "If they are well cleaned out," the narrator reports, "volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions." I recommend that you take after the Little Prince, Sagittarius. It's high time to attend to the upkeep of your volcanoes. Make sure they will burn slow and steady in the coming months, even when you're not at home.

April 26 -May 10, 2012

© Copyright 2012 Rob Brezsny

You don't necessarily need to rely on book learning, of course.

You could accomplish a lot of empirical exploration simply by getting naked and firing up your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Singer-songwriter Tom Waits was strongly influenced by Bob Dylan's down-to-earth album *The Basement Tapes.* "I like my music with the rinds and the seeds and pulp left in," Waits testifies. "The noise and grit" of Dylan's rootsy, intimate songs, he says, creates a mood of "joy and abandon." That's the spirit I wish for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, get down to the gritty, organic core of things. Hunker down in the funky fundamentals. Hang out where the levels of pretension are low and the stories are fresh and raw.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

You're not really breaking the rules, right, Pisces? It's more like you're just testing their elasticity; you're helping them become more supple and flexible. I'm sure that sooner or later people will thank you for how you're expanding the way the game is played.

It may take a while, but they will eventually appreciate and capitalize on the liberties you are now introducing into the system.

In the short run, though, you might have to take some heat for your tinkering and experiments.

Try not to let that inhibit your eagerness to try creative risks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One of the classics of ancient Sanskrit literature is the Kama Sutra, which gives practical advice about erotic love. The most popular edition of the book offers instructions on eight kinds of kisses and 64 sexual positions, with additional tips on styles of embracing and caressing. This would be an excellent time for you to get inspired by information like that, Capricorn. Your relationship with the amorous arts is due for expansion and refinement.

Mike Uncorked: REEL Good Ideas!

T

he Al Whittle Theatre is a rockin’ venue! If you go onto www.valleyevents.ca and peek at the upcoming events for the Whittle, you will not be pressed to find something to see or be involved in. There are great films, musical performances, live theatre and more. I would like to highlight two events that I am really looking forward to.

On Sunday May 6th, everyone (parents, kids, adults, and youth) should go and see Hugo, playing at 8pm, presented by the Fundy Film Society. Directed by Martin Scorsese, Hugo won 6 Academy Awards and is a technical and visual marvel for the eyes and imagination and no film last year was worth seeing on the big screen more than this one!

Hugo is an astonishing adventure that blends the tale of a wily boy and the history of cinema. The quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will alter Hugo, revealing a safe and loving place he can call home. Hugo is a mustsee and one of my last year’s top ten films.

Then, I received an email this week from my good friend Branaghlee Lane, owner and operator of Boso Bamboo Boutique, in Wolfville, telling me all about the film festival she and her partner David are spearheading here in Wolfville and I just had to share it with you all. Branaghlee and David took it upon themselves to handle the festival because there are so many talented filmmakers in NS who find it difficult to get films into the larger national and international fests, partly because it is difficult to compete with higher budget films, and often the entry fees are high as well. The Annapolis Valley Short Film Festival has a low entry fee

and is restricted to low budget films - which are surprisingly professional, creative and enjoyable.

This is a great opportunity for people to view locally made films and to vote on their favourites in a variety of categories. This is also a wonderful local event for short film buffs, and for people who have never been to a short film fest. A number of local businesses helped to make the festival possible and these supporters are on the website, www.avshortfilmfest. ca. Also, AFCOOP (Atlantic Film Cooperative out of Halifax) matched the $100.00 prize of equipment rental, so the submitter of the best film award will win $200.00 worth of equipment rental, not a bad prize!

The films are comedy and drama and range from 4 to 20 minutes, and I hear everyone is really impressed by the submissions they have received.

The festival is Saturday, May 12th at the Al Whittle Theatre, on Main Street, Wolfville. Tickets are 10.00 and can be purchased at Boso Bamboo Boutique, in Railtown or by calling 542-7790 or e-mailing info@ avshortfilmfest.ca . Doors open at 7:15 and the screening begins at 8:00. There will be approx 90 min of films with an intermission.

It takes an audience to make an event like this successful so please go out and support it.

If this event is a success, there will be another one in the fall and continue biannually from there, this way filmmakers will be motivated to make their ideas come to life and have a venue to show them. Keep an eye out for some well-known local faces in the short film Sustenance Hill!

Maple Balsamic Dressing

From Jenny Osburn of Union Street Café. Find her Kitchen Witch blog at: www.localfoodlover.blogspot.com

E

very year, my dad taps the sugar maples in front of my parent's house. He collects the sap in buckets, then transfers those to a large barrel, which he pools with sap from our neighbours. It all ends up at Eric and Noreen Clem's sugar shack, where long but pleasant hours are spent boiling the sap in open pans over an ancient wood stove. It's mostly the men sitting into the wee hours of the morning waiting for the syrup to hit just the right consistency before pulling it off the fire and divvying it up.

You've probably heard that it takes 40 litres of sap to make just 1 litre of syrup, but that's not an exact science. Making maple syrup is an art, a passion, and a commitment.

What if all the food we ate was like maple syrup?

What if the price we paid truly reflected the effort of its production? Would we enjoy more and consume less if just feeding ourselves cost 55% of our income,

like it does for the average East Indian household?

North Americans on average spend less than 10% of our salaries on food, leaving us with more money for bigger houses, leisure activities, and stuff. We also have the highest rates of mental illness and obesity.

I don't think it is much of a leap to believe that if we were more connected to the food on our plate, we would feel more whole and satisfied. A little time spent with our neighbours wouldn't hurt, either.

If you don't have a shack of your own, you can still have great Nova Scotian maple syrup. Nova Scotian maple producers made 128,000 litres of pure maple syrup last year, and it can be found at farmer's markets, specialty shops and sometimes, your local grocery store. Buy a big jug, it's cheaper and lasts a long time if you refrigerate it. And you're gonna need it if you like the following recipe as much as I do!

Maple Balsamic Dressing

This dressing, made in quantity, lasts a long time in your fridge. I guarantee it will increase your salad consumption. It can be as simple as buying bagged greens from the market, and tossing them with enough dressing to coat. You might find that the olive oil solidifies in your fridge. Either remember to take it out half an hour before you use it, or warm it for about 30 seconds in a microwave.

Wanda at "The Pita House" on Main Street, says "our fruit drinks and smoothies are made with REAL fruit, so they are brain food that is good for you and tastes great!"

Every year, over 1000 young people give over 600,000 volunteer hours to 500 community organizations from Whitehorse to St. Johns and allow us to serve you better while making a stronger Canada.

Branaghlee at boso bamboo boutique (www.boso.ca) recommends bamboo clothing "to keep you comfortable in the summer heat. Bamboo is 3 times as breathable as cotton, wicks away moisture, and is thermo-regulating...aaahhhh."

Combine all the ingredients in a jar and shake. Taste, you might find it a bit sharp (I like vinegary dressings). If it is too puckery, add a little more olive oil.

We have been a partner with Katimavik and had over 70 volunteers at Ross Creek over the past 12 years. They have made some of our work possible

and continue to work full time at Ross Creek. The program was recently eliminated in the 2012 Federal Budget, breaking the contract Katimavik had with the government till March 31, 2013.

Please help us save this program by sending a message to Minister James Moore (Google his name to find his online form), asking him respectfully to reconsider. You can download an easy advocacy kit at katimavik.org as well.

Letters to Scott Brison have an impact as well.

Who's Who: RACHEL MANKO LUTZ: All Her World’s a Stage!

I know how much work goes into a live theatre presentation with adult actors, I can only imagine how much time and work goes into a junior/senior high school musical production. Having to work with dozens of teenagers, new and experienced with different schedules and strengths must be exhausting but in the last few years, I’ve seen nothing but flawless productions at Wolfville Elementary School, which makes me very excited for this year’s presentation of Disney’s Mulan Jr. , directed and produced by Rachel Manko Lutz. Here’s a chance for the director to take the stage.

Rachel was born in Calgary, moved to Gaspereau when she was three and then to Wolfville where she attended Wolfville School and then headed to Horton where she will graduate this coming June. Options are still up in the air about next year, for Rachel. She’s waiting for an audition and then she’ll have to make a decision about a university, but having known Rachel for the last two years, I know she’ll do fine wherever she lands. Best of luck!

Rachel is a member of Horton’s senior concert band on tenor sax and the concert and girls' choirs at school. For about nine hours a week Rachel dances with ADCC and Cadence, including competitive acro, lyrical hip-hop, ballet and contemporary. She just finished performing as Evilene in Horton’s The Wiz and is currently rehearsing for the Stage Prophets May production of Anne of Green Gables, where she will play Josie Pye.

After seeing Rachel in countless productions over the years, including Newsies, Silverbirch, Footloose and 42nd Street, I was lucky to do my first show with her in December 2009, A Brand New Year and that continued to the Wedding Singer, Jump and my favorite of our productions, Cinderella Cinderella at CentreStage. No one does a Princess like Rachel, even with a shaved head sported after donating her hair for a cancer fundraiser, and being her cat on stage during Cinderella was a career highlight for me.

Martin Luther King, Jr. I think I had heard of the Food Not Bombs movement but I never paid attention. That was until last week Friday, April 20th. I was sitting outside at the Library Pub enjoying a beauty evening with friends when commotion caught my eye at the ClockTower. Youth were

holding signs saying ‘Free Food’, I obviously had to investigate.

It turned out that the youth from the Wolfville United Church & Pastoral Charge were behind this act of kindness to have fun while drawing attention to our local and international food needs. I’m really glad they were there; the rice stir fry and apple crumble sure hit the spot! ~Jeremy …for more info: foodnotbombs.net
