QUICK AS A WINK THEATRE DOES THE MUSIC MAN! Mike Butler Following a very successful run of the musical Grease in early 2017, Quick As A Wink Theatre Society (QAAW) in Windsor is ready to tackle its next big Broadway musical. This time The Music Man is making its way to the local theatre stage.

This classic musical, first produced on Broadway in 1957, won five Tony awards, including Best Musical, and ran for 1,375 performances entertaining audiences of all ages. The show's success led to revivals, including a long-run-

ning 2000 Broadway revival, a popular Academy-Award winning 1962 film adaptation starring Robert Preston (who also played Harold Hill on Broadway), and a 2003 television adaptation starring Matthew Broderick.

The Music Man is frequently produced by both professional and amateur theater companies, and with Quick As A Wink Theatre Society, and Director Thea Burton at the helm, this production is sure to be a must-see hit!

The plot concerns con man Harold Hill, who poses as a kids' band organizer and leader, and

who sells band instruments and uniforms to the naive Iowa townsfolk, promising to train the members of the new band. But Harold is no musician and plans to skip town without giving any music lessons. Prim librarian and piano teacher Marian sees through him, but when Harold helps her younger brother overcome his social awkwardness, Marian begins to fall in love. Harold risks being caught to win her, making this play a fun, quirky, warm, touching, toe-tapping, and 76-trombone-blasting burst of entertainment!

Under the direction of Thea Burton, no stranger to acting or directing local theatre productions, The Music Man is going to be something she’ll be very proud to present.

Thea has worked on many local high school productions, and she was the director for QAAW's hugely successful production of Annie in 2016. She also performed in QAAW’s Into The Woods last fall, played Mrs. Bennet in The Theatre Arts Guild production of Pride & Prejudice at the Pond Playhouse in Halifax this spring, and played Rachel Lynde in The Stage Prophets' Anne & Gilbert here in Wolfville last week!

Musical direction for The Music Man is by the very talented Michael Nelson, who has worked with many high school productions, for The

Stage Prophets, and most recently was the music director for Grease. The Music Man features over 40 local performers, so you’re bound to see some very familiar faces including Donna Holmes, Alan Slipp, Ray Baltzer, and Grease cast members Justin Brown as Harold Hill, and Becca Guilderson as Marian.

Shows will take place in the Fountain Performing Arts Centre at King’s-Edgehill School in Windsor during the first two weekends in June including 7pm shows on June 2, 3, 9, and 10, and matinees on June 3, 4, and 10 at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased online at QAAW.ca or by visiting The Box of Delights Book Shop in Wolfville.

Quick As A Wink Theatre Society is a non-profit, charitable, community theatre group entertaining West Hants, Nova Scotia, and beyond. QAAW’s objectives and performances are conducted and achieved entirely by volunteers and non-profit means. Make sure you get your tickets early folks, because if The Music Man is anything like Grease, seats will fill up fast and you don’t want to be disappointed by missing this show. It’s perfect entertainment for all ages, and it’s a wonderful way to introduce new people to local community theatre if they’ve never seen a Quick As A Wink Show! See you there!

SMOKIN’ BLUES FEST 7 AND MARITIME METAL & HARD ROCK FESTIVAL “5TH YEAR BASH” Jay Chetwynd Music saves lives. Music sheds glowing light on the darkest of days. For many, music is life.

The direct connection between music and mental health is immeasurable. While some people use music to motivate themselves at the gym, or pass the time while driving, others use it as a lighthouse of hope on the rocky shores of their mental illness. For some folks, it’s simply listening to music that eases the pain. For many, it’s actually writing and playing music that really encompasses their soul in a warm blanket of comfort. And for others, it’s working together on music festivals to bring good times for a good cause.

That’s why the team at Smokin’ Entertainment have decided to make the best of mental illness and focus their energies on bringing two grass-roots, East Coast music events to Windsor again and donating a portion of ticket sales directly to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Smokin’ Blues Fest 7 and Maritime Metal & Hard Rock Festival “5th Year Bash” are coming back! Both festivals are the weekend of July 28-29 in different parts of the Hants County Exhibition Grounds.

Though completely separate from each other, the festivals will bring to town several hundred (hopefully more) music lovers who enjoy the festival scene and getting a full dose of “musical medication” while supporting their local musicians and vendors. Folks from Manitoba, Alberta, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, PEI, and Ontario have already purchased their tickets and will be spending their money supporting the Valley’s economic region.

Restaurants, stores, gas stations, wineries, and many more businesses will benefit from these events.

The beneficial focus here is on raising much-needed funds to increase awareness and programming for the Canadian Mental Health Association. For every weekend pass purchased, Smokin’ Entertainment will donate $5 to CMHA. If we ever reach 5000 attendees between the two events, that amount rises to $10. Even if the festival does not benefit, CMHA will, so it’s a win-win for the cause.

Not only do the events serve as fundraisers of sorts, but they're also a great coming-together of like-minded musical friends. It’s like a big family, and because of the specific genres of music for each event, people know from the get-go that they will be surrounded by others who enjoy the same tastes in music and good times.

Not only do attendees get a full weekend of East Coast acts that they adore, but they get to indulge in a variety of vendors. Plus, visitors from away get to see the Valley. Some of them will return many more times because they will fall in love with the area. Lots of families make the festivals their “family event of the summer”, which is quite a special thing.

With all the dancing, smiling, and good tunes, the festivals serve as a true escape from the mental battles waged by too many. We all deserve that escape once in awhile… away from the TV, away from stress, away from social news. This is a weekend of great music, great food, and great times with great friends. Today’s world of hectic and seemingly-constant distractions can not only increase mental illness and stress levels, but the next thing you know, summer is over and we start to get anxious about the impending winter not far away. Music festivals are a way to freeze time for a weekend and be away from the stresses of everyday life.

Smokin’ Blues Fest 7 will be presenting a new addition this year to counter-balance some of the negativity in the news recently involving the treatment of women in the world. “An Evening with the Ladies of East Coast Blues” will be a night filled with the best-of-the-best female-fronted acts from our Maritimes, including Christine Campbell, Kendra Gale Band, and more. Then on Saturday, it’s the “1st Annual East Coast All-Star Jam” with Charlie A’Court, Carson Downey, and many more. Info and tickets at www.smokinbluesfest.ca.

Maritime Metal & Hard Rock Festival “5th Year Bash” is celebrating the milestone by bringing Juno-nominated Skull Fist from Toronto, as well as 20 Maritime bands that share the love of all things heavy. It’ll be the scariest, yet friendliest, crowd of crazies you’ll find at the only event of it’s kind east of Quebec. Fans of Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, AC/DC, Megadeth, Black Sabbath and more will find themselves right at home at this festival. Info and tickets at www.maritimemetalfest.com.

Both events are family-friendly with a “Kids 12 and Under FREE” policy so that we can pass on the love of music to future generations. We also strive to provide a safe, B.Y.O.Beverages atmosphere, with on-site camping available and all the amenities you need just steps away.

TIDAL BAY N.Neslihan Ivit, M.Sc. Vinifera European Viticulture and Enology winesofnesli.com Tidal Bay is the emblematic white wine of Nova Scotia which comes from the vineyards of this province.

Only 12 wineries produce Tidal Bay. They ferment the grapes of Nova Scotia, produce it within the standards of the appellation, pass through the quality control of the tasting panel, bottle with love, and pour into your glasses with pride. For three years, these wineries have been coming together to launch their freshly bottled Tidal Bays with a tasty event organized by Wines of Nova Scotia and called 12 Tides.

I, along with many other wine lovers, attended 12 Tides 2017, overlooking the Halifax Harbour, to taste all twelve of the new 2016 vintage of Tidal Bay along with food pairings by local restaurants. I started with the oysters – I love them just natural and they made a great pairing with Tidal Bay's crispiness. I continued with a taco with fried oysters and a canapé with duck breast, my favourites. The

spiciness in them paired beautifully with the touch of sweetness found in Tidal Bay. Finally, I finished with an amusebouche of lobster. There were many other delicious dishes to try and to pair with one of the Tidal Bays. These pairings of local food and local wines made me feel the real taste of Nova Scotia.

Finally, just a couple of words about the dynamic atmosphere of the event – it was very enjoyable to be with all the people who are interested in the wine from their region.

Attending this kind of gathering is a good way to support the local producers and the rise of the wine sector in the Valley. Moreover, it is fun to come together with people to share opinions about wines of Nova Scotia. If you missed 12 Tides this year, just be sure that you don't make the same mistake next year!

WHO'S WHO: DIANA SHELLEY Mike Butler Have you ever had that moment where you’ve seen a face for years, interacted with that face, and felt like you knew that person, but actually could not make the connection when that person and you shared a half a dozen emails because you never knew their name? It wasn’t until Diana Shelley sent me her photo for this profile that the light bulb in my little brain came on and EUREKA, I made the connection of DIANA being the lady I’ve served coffee too (small coffee in the square bottom cup) for over two years now. I am so pleased to tell you all about this wonderful community member.

Diana Shelley was born in London England and educated at a private girl’s school (for several years following the end of the war as a “boarder”) in hometown Guildford, and then went on to secretarial college to learn shorthand, typing etc. She immigrated to Toronto in 1960 where she subsequently met her future husband, also born in England, who came to Canada at age 12. Following their marriage and her husband’s graduation from the University of Toronto, Diana’s husband joined the civil service and was posted by the Canadian Government as a Foreign Service Officer and they were whisked back to London for three years. In 1968, when her husband was appointed (in absentia!) as the Registrar of Acadia, they moved back to Wolfville with two very small children. Diana and her husband went on to have three more in the EKM Hospital!

That’s the bare facts of Diana’s early years (as she says “there’s lots of years to cover”). Diana is now retired. She states, “I was a stay-athome mother to my five children until the youngest was well into elementary school.

Then I started with a variety of secretarial jobs, mostly in medical offices in town. I had worked as a physiotherapy clinic manager in the UK before I immigrated to Canada. By strange coincidence, I ended up as office manager of the Valley Physiotherapy Clinic, Wolfville branch, when it first opened in 1988.

I worked there for 16 years until retirement.

I loved my work but there was nothing really special about it other than that my colleagues were wonderful and that it was always dealing with people.”

Diana, like so many others in our great community, has always loved being involved in volunteer activities – including everything from the early days of WAICC (Wolfville Area Inter Church Council) with the “Dorcas Shop”, Inter-Church Housing, etc; to palliative care visiting with VON; and church-related activities such as Sunday School teaching, visiting, and choir. Other activities included establishing and helping run the first Beaver Scouts pack in town, early attempts at establishing Meals on Wheels in the town, and, much

more recently, being involved in establishing the Wolfville Area Food Bank. The Food Bank (now 10 years old) has become one of Diana’s major volunteer activities in more recent years. Diana was Chair for three years and recently, after a break from the position, has become the current cochair. She is also very involved in the “Special Needs” programme of WAICC.

Based on all her amazing volunteer contributions to our community, Diana, nominated by a friend and fellow Food Bank volunteer, was recently awarded the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers which was created by the Governor General of Canada. This award was fashioned this year and recognizes volunteers who have made a significant, sustained, unpaid contribution to their community, in Canada, or abroad.

The Governor General said of the award, “I have the pleasure of recognizing individuals who care about the well-being of others and who share a desire to make our communities kinder and healthier places in which to live.

The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers will celebrate the achievements of these Canadians and emphasize our country’s commitment to giving.”

Diana goes to Moncton on June 12 for the formal presentation by the Governor General, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston. And on behalf of the Town of Wolfville and myself, I'd like to extend congratulations to Diana and thank her very much for all her contributions.

With all this on her plate Diana still makes time for her four animals (Two dogs and two cats), and she’s been an avid gardener for as long as she can remember. On living in this beautiful area, Diana states, “I can’t say enough to describe how glowingly I feel about Nova Scotia, the Annapolis Valley and, above all, Wolfville. Despite all the economic problems of this province, I wouldn’t live anywhere else. The town of Wolfville is perfect – a blend of small town NS with all the wonderful assets and amenities which Acadia University brings and all this surrounded by the most magnificent countryside. It is close to the lovely city of Halifax and close to the airport in case one wants to take a temporary leave of absence. The people here are kind and caring.

The Food Bank, and the people who work in it, are an example of this caring spirit.”

With no signs of stopping, Diana plans to continue her volunteer duties, tend to her fur babies and her family (near and far), and enjoy everything Wolfville can offer her. I applaud Diana’s efforts, am inspired to find ways to help out, and am confirmed in my belief by her that Wolfville is occupied by some of the most wonderful people in Canada! Thank You Diana!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life is in the mood to communicate with you rather lyrically. Here are just a few of the signs and portents you may encounter, along with theories about their meaning. If you overhear a lullaby, it’s time to seek the influence of a tender, nurturing source. If you see a type of fruit or flower you don’t recognize, it means you have a buried potential you don’t know much about, and you’re ready to explore it further.

If you spy a playing card in an unexpected place, trust serendipity to bring you what you need. If a loud noise arrives near a moment of decision: Traditionally it signifies caution, but these days it suggests you should be bold.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): From my study of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, the hidden chambers beneath the Great Pyramid of Cheops, and the current astrological omens, I have determined that now is a favorable time for you to sing liberation songs with cheeky authority . . . to kiss the sky and dance with the wind on a beach or hilltop . . . to gather your most imaginative allies and brainstorm about what you really want to do in the next five years. Do you dare to slip away from business-as-usual so you can play in the enchanted land of what-if? If you’re smart, you will escape the grind and grime of the daily rhythm so you can expand your mind to the next largest size.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your body is holy and magic and precious. I advise you not to sell it or rent it or compromise it in any way — especially now, when you have an opening to upgrade your relationship with it. Yes, Taurus, it’s time to attend to your sweet flesh and blood with consummate care. Find out exactly what your amazing organism needs to feel its best. Lavish it with pleasure and healing. Treat it as you would a beloved child or animal. I also hope you will have intimate conversations with the cells that compose your body. Let them know you love and appreciate them. Tell them you’re ready to collaborate on a higher level.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “On some hill of despair,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell, “the bonfire you kindle can light the great sky — though it’s true, of course, to make it burn you have to throw yourself in.” You may not exactly feel despair, Scorpio. But I suspect you are in the throes of an acute questioning that makes you feel close to the edge of forever. Please consider the possibility that it’s a favorable time to find out just how much light and heat are hidden inside you. Your ache for primal fun and your longing to accelerate your soul’s education are converging with your quest to summon a deeper, wilder brilliance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The most intense moments the universe has ever known are the next 15 seconds,” said philosopher Terence McKenna. He was naming a central principle of reality: that every new NOW is a harvest of everything that has ever happened; every fresh moment is a blast of novelty that arises in response to the sum total of all history’s adventures. This is always true, of course. But I suspect the phenomenon will be especially pronounced for you in the near future. More than usual, you may find that every day is packed with interesting feelings and poignant fun and epic realizations. This could be pleasurable, but also overwhelming. Luckily, you have the personal power necessary to make good use of the intensity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Nobody likes to be scrutinized or critiqued or judged. But we Crabs (yes, I’m one of you) are probably touchier about that treatment than any other sign of the zodiac.

(Hypersensitivity is a trait that many astrologers ascribe to Cancerians.) However, many of us do allow one particular faultfinder to deride us: the nagging voice in the back of our heads.

Sometimes we even give free rein to its barbs.

But I would like to propose a transformation of this situation. Maybe we could scold ourselves less, and be a bit more open to constructive feedback coming from other people. Starting now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The lion’s potency, boldness, and majesty are qualities you have a mandate to cultivate in the next three weeks.

To get in the righteous mood, I suggest you gaze upon images and videos of lions. Come up with your own version of a lion’s roar — I mean actually make that sound — and unleash it regularly. You might also want to try the yoga posture known as the lion pose. If you’re unfamiliar with it, go here for tips: tinyurl.com/lionpose. What else might help you invoke and express the unfettered leonine spirit?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?” French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan posed that question. I invite you to put it at the top of your list of hot topics to meditate on. In doing so, I trust you won’t use it as an excuse to disparage your companions for their inadequacies.

Rather, I hope it will mobilize you to supercharge your intimate alliances; to deepen your awareness of the synergistic beauty you could create together; to heighten your ability to be given the universe by those whose fates are interwoven with yours.

6 | June 1 – 15, 2017

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re in a phase when you have the power to find answers to questions that have stumped you for a while.

Why? Because you’re more open-minded and curious than usual. You’re also ready to be brazenly honest with yourself. Congrats! In light of the fact that you’ll be lucky at solving riddles, I’ve got three good ones for you to wrestle with. 1. Which of your anxieties may actually be cover-ups for a lazy refusal to change a bad habit? 2. What resource will you use more efficiently when you stop trying to make it do things it’s not designed to do?

3. What blessing will you receive as soon as you give a clear signal that you are ready for it?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A typical Capricorn cultivates fervent passions, even to the point of obsession. Almost no one knows their magnitude, though, because the members of your tribe often pursue their fulfillment with methodical, businesslike focus. But I wonder if maybe it’s a good time to reveal more of the raw force of this driving energy than you usually do. It might humanize you in the eyes of potential helpers who see you as too strong to need help. And it could motivate your allies to provide the extra support and understanding you’ll need in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to carry out a flashy flirtation with the color red. I dare you to wear red clothes and red jewelry. Buy yourself red roses. Sip red wine and savor strawberries under red lights. Sing Elvis Costello’s “The Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” and Prince’s “Little Red Corvette.” Tell everyone why 2017 is a red-letter year for you. For extra credit, murmur the following motto whenever a splash of red teases and pleases your imagination: “My red-hot passion is my version of high fashion.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “If you want a puppy, start by asking for a pony,” read the bumper sticker on the Lexus SUV I saw. That confused me. Would the owner of a Lexus SUV be the type of person who didn’t expect to get what she really wanted?

In any case, Pisces, I’m conveying a version of this bumper-sticker wisdom to you. If you want your domestic scene to thrive even more than it already does, ask for a feng shui master to redesign your environment so it has a perfect flow of energy. If you want a community that activates the best in you, ask for a utopian village full of emotionally intelligent activists. If you want to be animated by a focused goal that motivates you to wake up excited each morning, ask for a glorious assignment that will help save the world.

Your imagination is the single most important asset you possess. Listen to the podcast: http://bit.ly/YourProphecy

ACADIA PERFORMING ARTS SERIES ANNOUNCES 2017-18 SERIES Peter Smith

COMING SOON: AN ART GALLERY IN KENTVILLE Genevieve Allen Hearn Expanding creative enterprise is one of the calls to action in ONE Nova Scotia’s Now or Never report. The report states, “Recent studies link the arts, culture and the creative sectors to positive impacts in employment, community development and social inclusion and well-being.” It also acknowledges that many young people are drawn to the creative sector, while stressing the importance of mobilizing creative youth.

Sasha Nelson is a graduate of the Master of Fine Art degree program from the University of Waterloo, the Bachelor of Fine Art degree program from NSCAD University, and a Red Seal Certified Carpenter. He recently moved to Kentville with his family (having purchased his wife’s childhood home) and the timing couldn’t have worked out better.

Just as Sasha was contemplating a creative enterprise, the Town of Kentville was gifted the Calkin building – the building on the corner of Cornwallis and Webster that used to be home to Central Café. Kentville released a request for proposals for three different spaces in the building, and gave priority to a creative enterprise for the space at 36 Cornwallis. Seizing an opportunity, Sasha formed the Kentville Art Gallery Society comprised of five people in cultural, economic and real estate development, and created a plan for a nonprofit gallery that would also serve as an artistic hub, offering a variety workshops, artist talks, and events. Sasha remarks, “There are very few spaces for the public to view and purchase art in the Annapolis Valley, particularly works that display contemporary issues and aesthetics”. His mission is to showcase art from the local area and beyond that address or come from diverse perspectives. This could include, as an example, creative work that stimulates a discourse around mental health.

The Kentville Art Gallery Society chose the name Hardware Gallery to acknowledge the history of the building – which served for many years as a hardware store.

To generate income, Hardware Gallery will be selling exhibited art, as well as run a rental program whereby businesses pay an annual fee to display a rotation of artwork by local artists provided by the gallery. The gallery will

also have a retail section that offers prints, greeting cards, art books, and items for the home made by local artists and artisans.

Furthermore, donations and sponsorships from the local community will be vital to the success of gallery.

Community Economic Development Coordinator, Lindsay Young, shares her enthusiasm for the prominent Calkin building. "The Town of Kentville is so very excited about the future plans for the building. We feel we have been successful in selecting tenants that will both add to the current downtown mix of businesses and help round out the offerings Kentville provides to downtown visitors.” Other tenants include Hill’s Grills Panini Press & Tea House specializing in breakfast and lunch sandwiches and tea-based beverages, a shared space for the Kentville Farmers’ Market and Makery, and an innovation hub upstairs.

Research shows that people seek communities with an active cultural environment because with culture comes a better quality of life, happier citizens, and a sense of place. Culturally active communities become destinations that attract new businesses, increase tourism, and draws local citizens out of their homes and into public spaces. There are a few wonderful examples of creative enterprises in Kentville, including Gaspereau Press, Deep Hollow Print, and CentreStage Theatre. Hardware Gallery is another essential building block to boost the creative economy in Kentville. “We’re hoping that, by providing the public with more opportunities to engage with art and artistic practices, it will create a vibrant atmosphere that welcomes innovation, increases foot traffic in Kentville’s downtown core throughout the day and into the evening, and encourages an inclusive community,” comments Sasha. “We are excited to brighten people’s lives with new experiences, and to show how art and culture is fundamental to a progressive society.”

The Acadia Performing Arts Series has announced its 2017-18 Series. The ten-performance line-up features wonderful classical music, plus amazing variety, with special performances for Canada150 including folk icon Buffy Sainte-Marie. Theatre, ballet, and perennial favourites, Symphony Nova Scotia, will all help to enliven the cultural scene in Wolfville.

The season opens in September with New Voices: Earthquakes and Islands, a unique program from Debut Atlantic which combines new music with striking images. If you like the cello, Ô-Celli in October is for you – it’s a cello octet! In November, we have two special Canada150 presentations. The first is Canadian folk icon Buffy Sainte-Marie live in concert; and the second, on Remembrance Day, is entitled Soldiers of Song – a salute to The Dumbells in World War One. Also in November, Tafelmusik’s Circle of Creation, with the music of J.S. Bach, is a match made in heaven. The first term wraps up with the ever-popular Barra MacNeils and their East Coast Christmas.

Symphony Nova Scotia starts off 2018 with an all-Mozart program conducted by Bernhard Gueller, featuring Italian pianist Luca Buratto.

In February, the annual Tom Regan Memorial Concert will showcase musical talent from the

Acadia campus. March begins with Inside/ Out – a prison memoir from Patrick Keating, and our performing arts series concludes with Carmen performed by the Moncton-based Atlantic Ballet Theatre.

Subscriptions start at only $180 for eight concerts! For full details and information on how to subscribe, please visit the Acadia Performing Arts Series website at pas.acadiau.ca.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: A TALE AS OLD AS TIME Mike Butler Northeast Kings Education Centre (NKEC) is geared up, made up, and dressed up in Disney duds and ready for YOU to be their guest as they present Disney’s acclaimed stage production of Beauty and the Beast! This timeless, magical tale of love about the inner beauty in all of us has been in rehearsals for many months with some early hiccups caused by work-to-rule. But with all that behind them, the students of NKEC can’t wait to show off their talents and months of hard work.

With work-to-rule in place months ago, the production was in jeopardy of not happening at all, but with the perseverance of the large teen cast, their parents, and many community supporters, the production stayed in rehearsals outside of the school space and all the extra time has paid off as the final touches are happening now.

I fondly remember, in 1991, long before some of this cast was born, seeing the hit animated Disney film and falling in love with the music, magic, and spectacle of it. After it’s success, the Broadway show came along, selling millions upon millions of tickets. It made its way twice to Neptune theatre in Halifax and most recently the musical came to the big screen in a live action film that has shattered box office records all over the world, introducing a new generation to it.

And now, after very successful runs of The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, NKEC is proud to present its take on this enchanting and beautiful story featuring everyone’s favourite Disney characters Belle, Gaston, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and more. This special production will feature several makeup creations by proud supporter Phantom Effects Special Effects Makeup Technicians who assisted with Oz and Alice and are Valley-famous for their autumn haunted houses and super cool, highly professional makeup designs and set pieces. Audiences are going to be mesmerized with the Phantoms creations for this production. Performances are being held at the Festival Theatre in Wolfville. Opening night is Friday, June 9 at 7pm, and remaining shows are scheduled for Saturday, June 10 at 2pm and 7pm, and Sunday, June 11 at 2pm.

Tickets are available in advance through the NKEC school in Canning or at the door. I have to add that I was fortunate to be called in early on to help a bit with some dancing and I’m so proud of these wonderful actors!

This is a show you do not want to miss! It will be a joy to watch these very talented young adults sing, dance, and act their way through one of the most beloved stories of all time. A tale as old as time… the tale of Beauty and the Beast!

A Walk-in Clinic for Dental Emergencies KING’S COUNTY FOOD SUMMIT: LOCAL FOOD FOR ALL June 10, 2017 Acadia University Here are some of the questions that have inspired us to organize this summit: • • •

What does a healthy food system, where everyone has dignified access to healthy food, look like in Kings County?

What can we put in place as a network to ensure that food projects and social enterprises are sustainable?

What food security initiatives or ideas (community gardens, income based solu-

tions, food hubs, community kitchens etc.) are people working on and how can we start to collectively support them now?

The day will provide space for pitching your projects and ideas, time to discuss them in small groups, and mind-space to depart with clear action plans.
