Experienced a random act of kindness recently?

Random Acts of Kindness is Brought to you by Daniels’ Flower Shop Ltd. 40 Water St, Windsor | 798-5337 | www.danielsflowershop.net

Recently I took my grandchildren to Halifax Airport to meet their Dad, who commutes between Grand Prairie Alberta and the Valley. On the way my granddaughter insisted that we should buy him a heart-shaped helium balloon. Returning home, we stopped for lunch at a McDonalds in Dartmouth. It was a windy day and, inevitably, as the car door opened, the balloon was sucked out leaving a wailing 5 year-old watching her balloon disappear into the clouds. After lunch, while walking back to the car, a stranger

appeared clutching a replacement balloon which he had bought after witnessing my granddaughter's despair. He apologized for not finding a heart-shaped balloon but instead, much to my granddaughter's delight, gave her one depicting her favorite 'Frozen' character. As a 'CFA' now settled in Nova Scotia, I am very grateful to live in this part of the world where acts of kindness like this seem to be the norm.

FEATURE – ROCCO

Hi there, my name is Rocco. I am a very friendly two and a half yr old beagle/pug mix. I have been neutered and am fully up to date on all my vaccinations. I have a medium-high energy level but I listen very well, am eager to please, and am great on a leash. I need a furever home where my human has the time to love me and train me.

If you would like to meet me or any of the other animals here at the Nova Scotia SPCA please feel free to stop by Tuesday through Sunday between the hours of 2pm and 5pm. We are located at 1285 County Home Rd in Waterville. You can also check out our website at www.kings.spcans.ca, look us up on Facebook, or call 902-538-9075. We will be waiting.

UPDATE – MAX STILL AVAILABLE!

Max Jr. is a neutered black and white male cat born May 1, 2014.

He was rescued as a kitten alongside his sister Caroline and fostered away from the Wolfville Animal Hospital until they had room for them both. They are both extremely friendly, playful, and interactive. A happy pair, it would be perfect if he and his sister could find a new home together!

IN REVIEW: Recent Events, Happenings and News

By Emily Leeson

According to Donna Holmes, the Wolfville Community Christmas Dinner held on Christmas Day was a huge success. Says Holmes, “Wolfville people from all walks of life jam-packed the Lion's Hall for a yummy xmas dinner full of chatting and music and laughter. I knew so many people there, that it took me almost as long to get to my seat (exchanging greetings with people along the way) as it did to actually eat my dinner! Can't wait to do it again next year!”

On January 1, the Youcaring. com Fundraising Campaign: Our Hero Luke Needs a Lift ended, having earned a total of $25,517 towards the cost

of an accessible van for Luke Sandford. The original goal was $25,000. Air Canada pitched in with $10,000 towards the cause and further donated $5000 to the Acadia S.M.I.L.E. program.

dance was sold out well in advance!

Wolfville Mayor Jeff Cantwell, with the Wolfville Town Council hosted a New Year’s Day Levee at the Garden Room of the K.C.Irving Environmental Centre.

In their first game of 2015 on January 3, the Acadia Axemen Men’s Hockey team defeated Dalhousie Tigers 4-2 at the Halifax Forum.

Sadly, the New Year’s Day Levee and Pancake Breakfast to be held at the Gaspereau Hall was cancelled. A facebook post from the Rolled Oat Cafe blamed “a water issue at the hall.” But on a brighter note, the Hupman Brothers Band New Years Eve

The Evergreen Theatre hosted a New Year’s Day Levee in Margaretsville.

Acadia students returned to class January 6, 2015 and according to the university’s facebook page, the university is already looking forward to the future students of 2015.

Campus tours started again as of January 6.

Vegan Whole Wheat Biscuits

By Amanda Ferguson from the Rolled Oat, Wolfville

These are so quick and easy. Great warm with a winter stew or covered in jam!

Ingredients: • 1 cup almond or soy milk • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar • 1 cup whole wheat flour • 1 1/2 cups pastry flour • 1 tbsp baking powder • 1 tbsp brown sugar • 1/2 tsp salt • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Directions: In a small bowl whisk together milk and vinegar. In a larger bowl mix dry ingredients.

Add coconut oil and using your hands mix until it's like the consistency of coarse sand.

Make a well in the centre and pour in milk.

Stir until just mixed then turn the dough out on a floured surface. Pat into a circle about 1 1/2 inches thick and then start cutting biscuits with a cookie cutter or the open end of a glass. You should get around 8 or so. Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes at 425.

The Acadia Page WHAT’S GROWING AT THE HARRIET IRVING BOTANICAL GARDENS: CRANBERRY

Acadia School of Music: Thursday Concert and Lecture Series

Highbush cranberry is a great native shrub to plant in home gardens. The clusters of red berries provide food for birds in the fall and winter and the large white blossoms attract butterflies in the summer. Take a hike on the Woodland Trails and see if you can spot the red berries. Hint: look near the Norway Spruce Forest!

If you've walked Acadia's Woodland Trails in the winter you've likely noticed the striking red berries of the Highbush-cranberry (Viburnum opulus). This tall shrub is a cranberry only in name. It's not a member of the Heath family like our true native cranberries; it belongs to the Honeysuckle family.

The Trails are available for hiking all year. The largest loop takes approximately 45 minutes. There are also two shorter loops. Maps are available at the front desk of the KC Irving Centre.

Remember, it's a hike in the woods, so please pack it in, pack it out, and use caution as trails can be slippery in winter.

Denton Hall Auditorium, Acadia University, Wolfville Free & Open to the public

The first lecture of 2015 will be given by Acadia School of Music’s own Dr. Jeff Hennessy. Entitled “Metrical Dissonance in Chick Corea’s Children’s Songs”, Dr. Hennessy will demonstrate how musical analysis, and particularly rhythmic and metrical analysis, can inform performance decisions.

Authors@Acadia Presents

Linden MacIntyre reading from Punishment.

Tuesday, January 20, 2015 in the KCIC Auditorium, 7pm In Punishment, his first novel since completing his Long Stretch trilogy, Scotiabank Giller-winner Linden MacIntyre brings us a powerful exploration of justice and vengeance, and the peril that ensues when passion replaces reason, in a small town shaken by a tragic death.

THE FORK AND FARM CLUB

by Emily Leeson With a mandate to promote and support local farms by educating Acadia and the public on the importance of purchasing locally grown foods, the Fork and Farm Club isn’t wasting a moment of time. This winter, Acadia students from the club will be growing herbs and vegetables in the greenhouse at the K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre.

While experimenting with different varieties including beans, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and a range of herbs including basil, parsley and dill, the club hopes to find out what will grow best in a winter greenhouse in Nova Scotia. It’s all going well so far. “I checked on the plants today and the tomato and jalapeño plants are about a foot tall now and

Photo Credit: Melanie Priesnitz are doing great! Once they are too big for the greenhouse, we will be transplanting them to the Acadia Farm,” Farmer confirms.

Looking towards the year ahead, the club has big plans for their harvest and their events.

“We have plans for further events such as hosting a pickling party, a workshop on how to preserve vegetables in jars, a presentation called “An Introduction to Gardening”, and garlic harvesting,” says Farmer. “We also plan to give the vegetables grown in the KCIC to the Food Bank, but that is dependent on how much we harvest.”

The public is encouraged to stop by the greenhouses to see what’s growing. For more information on the Acadia Farm, visit their website at acadiafarm.org

Tony is soon caught in a fierce emotional struggle between the outcast Strickland and the still alluring Caddy. And then another figure from Tony’s past, the forceful Neil Archie MacDonald - just retired in murky circumstances from the Boston police force - stokes the community’s anger and suspicion and an irresistible demand for punishment. As Tony struggles to resist the vortex of vigilante action, Punishment builds into a total page-turner that blindsides you with twists and betrayals.

The activities of the group are varied, but this represents their biggest endeavor so far. Says, Shelby Farmer, Club President, “We are experimenting with indoor grown vegetables. We began the process by germinating seeds in the Propagation room in the KCIC for about two weeks, then we transplanted the seedlings into bins in the KCIC where they are now growing. We are experimenting with which vegetables grow best with what. For example, do tomatoes grow better with basil or beans?

We are also using a fish-based fertilizer to see how it impacts the growth of the plants.”

Forced to retire early from his job as a corrections officer in Kingston Penitentiary, Tony Breau has limped back to the village where he grew up to lick his wounds, only to find Photo Credit: Joe Passaretti that Dwayne Strickland, a young con he’d had dealings with in prison is back there too - and once again in trouble. Strickland has just been arrested following the suspicious death of a teenage girl, the granddaughter of Caddy Stewart, Tony’s first love.

Happy New Year Everyone! Welcome to the first Who’s Who profile of the year. I have wanted to write about Elsa Hodder since first encountering her during The Little Princess. Elsa had the lead role (I had one scene) and her talent blew me away. She could sing, act, and dance beautifully and she was only a young teenager at the time. Her maturity and elegance would have you believe she is in her 20s.

I mean seriously, describe her and try not to use the word statuesque… it’s impossible. She’s done more in the last five years than some people do in a lifetime and did I mention that she’s extremely talented?

Elsa Hodder spent most of her life in Wolfville, a few years in Windsor and she’s currently living in downtown Halifax where she’s furthering her studies in Musical Theatre. Performing has always been a constant in Elsa’s life. “When I was in grade two” Elsa explains, “it was clear to my parents that I had an unwavering passion to perform and they took me out of school and created/built a studio and fashioned a program for me to intensely study singing, acting and dancing. Because there wasn’t a performing arts program for me to attend in Nova Scotia, my parents created one until I graduated last year.”

Elsa has trained in dance with many teachers at various schools including Andrea Leblanc, Maritime Conservatory; Edgett Dance; Erin Hopewell; The National Ballet School of Canada; Boston Ballet School; and Ballet West Academy. Elsa has also been training in the required singing style for Musical Theatre (SLS) and her voice is very powerful for her age. She was able to finish high school two years early, through Kings View Academy, which has allowed her to have more time to do shows and auditions this year.

What a resume this young lady has including prime roles in Quick as a Wink’s past productions of 42nd Street, Oklahoma, The Secret Garden, and The Little Princess, and the role of Louise in Carousel for the Utah Repertory Theatre Company! You can now see Elsa Who's Who is Brought to you by T.A.N. COFFEE www.tancoffee.ca

(singing, dancing and acting) in the lead role in Cinderella: The Musical, being performed at Kings-Edgehill Theatre (Jan 16, 17, 18m, 23, 24) with the Quick as a Wink Theatre Company.

Showtimes are 7pm, with special 2pm Matinees on Jan 17, 18, and 24. Tickets are available at Moe’s Place Music Sales on Gerrish Street in Windsor or by calling 902-7985565.

So from the Little Princess to the Ultimate Princess, Elsa has been fortunate to play many stunning roles and she owes a lot to her Quick as a Wink family. She says, “I have been so lucky to have Quick As A Wink Theatre Society to work with and they have treated me with integrity and professionalism - giving me lead roles and leadership opportunities beyond my age and believing in me to not disappoint them. Being in Nova Scotia has been a huge blessing to me.”

So what does she like better - the singing, dancing or acting? Elsa confessed, “I am a performer. I perform to inspire and uplift my audiences. My goal is to have them leave the shows filled with happiness, joy and light. Serving others is really important to me and my family and performing for the joy of others is one way that I have been able to serve and share my talents.”

This is the first Who’s Who of the New Year, so it should have some resolutions/ goals, right? Well as I expected, Elsa plans to further her musical studies right up to Broadway! She states, “This upcoming year I will be attending either Brigham Young University and training in their Musical Theatre program which is one of the top in the United States, or at Randolph Academy in Toronto which is one of the top musical theatre schools in Canada. After I attend school I will go on to obtain my masters in Musical Theatre and venture out to NYC to audition and hopefully perform on Broadway for a few years. And after that, I’d love to teach Musical Theatre!” Best of luck to you Elsa!

As an actor, I have many dream roles that I aspire to perform one day… and I was dying to know what Elsa’s dream role for the stage would be. It’s Ariel, the princess of the sea from the Little Mermaid. And Elsa is now a redhead… she’s already getting into character. But wait… wasn’t Elsa blonde when I met her? During our interview I had a wonderful chuckle as Elsa described why she’s now a redhead instead of the blonde I first met. It turns out she dyes her hair red because she didn’t want to be “the blonde girl named Elsa”, like the Princess in the Disney movie Frozen. You’d think that after playing so many Princesses, she’d be okay with it!

All my best Little Princess!
