ON THE COVER S

tephen Lee was diagnosed with cancer of the throat in late February. As Steve continues the fight of his life, his family and friends are gathering at the Louis Millet Community Complex for a music fundraiser and silent auction on May 15. Over 50 musicians will play including: The Hupman Brothers, Mike Aube, and Ariana Nasr. On the cover is one of the silent auction items up for bid – a painting made and donated by Jennifer White & Heather A.E. Porter. The painting is currently hanging on display at the Kentville Branch CIBC. In his latest email update, Steve says, "Dr. Hol-

lenhorst has informed me that I am on track and doing well, as far as he is concerned, with a visible reduction in size of the lymph node mass in my neck. I have been able to regain the little weight I lost. Those farm eggs fried in butter! Only problem is, I cannot taste anything and it is hard to motivate yourself to eat plastic or cardboard day after day."

As of May 13, the campaign for Steve has generated $3,976 raised by 69 people in 1 month (15 days left). To donate:indiegogo.com/projects/benefit-for-steve-lee#activity

IN REVIEW: Recent Events, Happenings and News

(average number of children born per woman)

By Emily Leeson Changes are underway in Wolfville’s Clock Park. Word has it that we can expect more trees, benches, an arbour and small fencing to better define the site, as well as landscaping around the clock itself. For a full park plan, visit: www.wolfville.ca/livingin-wolfville/think-wolfville/ clock-park.

Local volunteers were recognized in Berwick on April 20.

Among the many individuals and groups celebrated that day were the Volunteer Family of the Year - the Connell Family, and the Youth Volunteer of the Year - Sarah Henley.

Headed Acadia’s way next September? Future students who’ve received Acadia t-shirts can now enter for a chance to win a $2500 tuition credit. Visit recruitment. acadiau.ca/t-shirt-challenge. html for more information, but then get outside and enjoy the sunshine. The fall will come soon enough. And then the snow. And we’re not really ready to talk about that yet.

Kentville is about to get even more delicious. On May 5, the Kentville Community Garden Society, in partnership with Blomidon Nurseries, Harvest Land Design, and the Valley Community Learning

Association, launched a new program to enhance the downtown planter boxes.

The program will establish community garden spaces to promote learning about small scale food production and the idea of growing food in public spaces.

The first Authors for Indies Day in Wolfville on May 2 was a success. Kate Andrews-Day at the Box of Delights says, "All of us here at the Box of Delights would like to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful authors who joined us: Jan L Coates, Dean Jobb, Ron Lightburn, Ami McKay, Nancy Rose and Karolyn Smardz Frost. Thank you for volunteering in the shop, chatting to customers, reading from your works, and just hanging out with us! And thank YOU, our wonderful customers, for coming down and making the day such a great success." For photos, check out our page and/or the ‘Annapolis Valley Events’ page on Facebook.

Sadly, Between the Bushes in Centreville won’t be re-opening as a full service restaurant this year. There is talk of a nice take-out for the blueberry u-pick season, and they’re looking for staff. For more information, visit www. betweenthebushes.ca.

The gardening season is now on! From the Wolfville Town blog, May 4: The Maple Avenue Compost site is now open on Saturdays from 1pm to 5pm until November.

Residents can drop off leaves and yard waste and/or pick up a high organic content of compost that can be used as a soil amendment. All materials must be clean and free of garbage, household compost, plastic bags or other contaminants.

On May 6, the Grapevine Facebook page became a bit of a lost pet poster board/pet sports channel. For a great photo of two unidentified dogs playing basketball at the Wolfville Elementary School, search ‘The Grapevine’ on Facebook. (Their owners were found.)

On May 7, the East Coast Lifestyle Facebook page announced that founder, and recent Acadia graduate, Alex Maclean would be meeting US President Barak Obama on May 11 as part of #StartTheSpark, a global entrepreneurship program facilitating entrepreneurs to share ideas and resources, collaborate, and learn from each other, thereby maximizing their impact on the world.

by Pamela Swanigan Canadian figures are from a 2011 Statistics Canada census, among other sources. U.S. figures are chiefly from the U.S. census, with support from other agencies. International figures are 2014 estimates by various global agencies. The simplified definition of “fertility rate” is the number of children that a woman in a given country would give birth to if she lived to the end of her childbearing years, based on the actual fertility rates of women aged 15-49 in that country. A fertility rate of 2.1 is considered the “replacement rate” to keep a national population at equilibrium (independent of immigration). Most countries in the developed world have fallen below a 2.1 total fertility rate in recent decades.

May 4, 2015: Financial Planning As I am, perhaps foolishly, still hoping to pay off my law school student loans some time before it’s time to retire, I do still read books about money on occasion.

The final results of the NS Electricity System Review are now available at

or by calling my office.

Sean says one of the best parts about being a member of the LGBT family is truly understanding the word “reclamation”. Facing adversity with equal parts of ferocity and sweetness has been an intrinsic part of his character, influenced by the brave queer folk who came before him. This tattoo - a symbol that once stood for oppression & genocide and now represents love & community - fills him with a quiet contentment knowing that he will be comforted and understood as he conquers every day not only as an HIV+ man, but as a man who is HIV=. “My tattoo is my reclamation - what was once thought of as a burden upon my shoulders, is now the work of art that lifts it.”

There are changes underway at the Grapevine! You may have noticed that our slogan on the cover has evolved. You may have even noticed a few additions and a few new titles in the Masthead.

Yes, indeed, it is spring and our plants are blooming. We’ve always been about arts, culture, and community... but now we’re really all about arts, culture, and community. Don’t worry, our grassroots, community-driven ways haven’t changed; as ever, we’re here to support and promote local businesses, organizations, and initiatives. We’ve just sprouted a few new buds. The Grapevine is growing and as usual, we’re sharing the news across this beautiful Valley we call home.

I don’t get too many dates, so everything had to line up perfectly on Saturday. In my normal last-second rush, everything was planned perfectly for a quick jaunt to the Farmers’ Market before catching the 9:15am bus to New Minas.

A car rental was awaiting so we could make it to the Ben Caplan show at the Evergreen later that night. I grabbed the right amount of change for bus fare and a coffee; I timed it perfectly with no margin for error. With the bus virtually in sight coming down the hill, I

realized that somewhere after buying the coffee I misplaced the remaining quarters. Talk about potential disaster.

Luckily enough John was walking by with his dog and was able to hook me up. Although all he had was a fiver and the bus doesn’t provide change, he gladly gave it and I was on my way.

Thanks for saving the evening John!

RECIPE

Submitted by Stephane Levac, Frais Catering

BBQ season is in full effect for some of us, and I thought that I'd share my Mole Sausage recipe with you. No need for hog casings, you can simply form patties and throw it on the grill. Pair this with an India Pale Ale.

Hol-eh Mol-eh

Transfer to a sealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

2 1⁄2 lbs Ground Pork Shoulder 1⁄2 lb Ground Pork Belly 1 Small Grated Onion 2 1⁄2 tbsp Cocoa Powder 1 tbsp Chili Powder 1 tbsp Ancho Chili Powder 1⁄4 tsp Ground Cinnamon 1⁄4 tsp Ground Clove 1⁄4 tsp Ground Cumin 1 tbsp Mexican Oregano 1 tsp Sugar 2 tbsp Salt 1 tsp Black Pepper 2 tsp Cider Vinegar 2 Meters Hog Casing

Refrigerate stand mixer bowl, paddle attachment, and sausage stuffing parts for at least 30 minutes before use. Transfer meat mixture to the chilled bowl and using the chilled paddle attachment of your mixer, beat for 1-2 minutes. Stuff Sausages, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, refrigerate overnight.

Grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes.

Serve with sweet corn relish.

Combine the pork shoulder and pork belly in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl, combine the onion, cider, cocoa, chili & ancho chili powder, cinnamon, clove, cumin, oregano, and sugar. Mix until you get a chocolate-like paste. Using your hands, combine the paste with the pork.

THE NAKED CRÊPE BISTRO REVIEW Submitted by Scott Campbell

W

hat do you do with a naked crêpe? You dress it up! And the talented crêpe creators at The Naked Crepe Bistro are true visionaries when it comes to crêpe fashion.

As I browsed the menu in the quaint little bistro I was surrounded by crêpe eaters who were all eagerly telling me which one I “must” try.

There were certainly some crowd favourites.

A lot of the breakfast crêpes were suggested (probably because I was there at about noon on a Sunday in this university town) including the Bacon & Egg Crêpe and the Savoury Sausage & Egg Crêpe. But I had more than a few suggestions that I had to try the Hang-Over Cure - poached egg, black forest ham, savoury sausage, bacon, melted white cheddar, green onion, maple syrup - even as I insisted that I was not hung over. I decided on the Donair Crêpe - Canning Village Meat Market's Donair meat, thinly sliced, topped with diced tomatoes, green onions, and mozzarella cheese, served with your choice of tzatziki or sweet donair sauce. I had mine with the donair sauce and it was delicious.

As good as the savoury crêpes are (and the pizzas came highly recommended as well), the one suggestion I got over and over again was for one of the sweet ones – the Lemon Curd Crêpe – a house-made lemon curd, topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar.

Are you kidding?! This was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a very long time. And I’ve had a lot of desserts!

Drop by the Naked Crêpe Bistro at 402 Main Street in Wolfville or give them a call (they deliver) and try one of these delectable creations. Website: www.thenakedcrepebistro. ca; Phone: 902-542-0653.

GALA AT GREYHAVEN, 2015 Saturday May 30, 2015 at 4pm

Wolfville Soprano, Susan Dworkin performs in this year’s exciting 11th Annual Gala at Greyhaven, Saturday, May 30 at 4pm. Clarinetist, Josseìe MacInnis; Saxophonist, Pascal Bard; Mezzo-soprano, Rosanne McClare; Classical guitarist, Kenneth Davidson; and Pianist Krissy Keech will join Susan to create a wonderful evening of finely crafted music. The evening’s program will include a selection of classical, operatic, contemporary, jazz, broadway, and klezmer music.

A Change is...Here!

Mike Butler

T

he seasons have changed. Within a few weeks we’ve seen snow banks disappear, pools of water dry up, and flowers start to bloom. The winter, that we all thought would never end, has finally passed us by. I haven’t packed up my long johns, thermal underwear, flannel bed sheets, or heating blankets just yet, but my shorts are washed, pressed, and ready to go. I walked through Wolfville three or four times yesterday and there’s such a positive vibe coming from the townspeople as they sway down the street with the sun on their face. This is one of my favourite times of the year - that seasonal change from the winter blues to the spring greens.

There are a lot of other changes going on around Wolfville, besides the weather. With the closure of Pete’s; the students moving away and/or graduating; storefront patios going up; and the rebuilding of the parks, roads and walking trails after the winter throttled them; the town is going through many changes to make way for new businesses and a better and safer summer. The tourists will be here before we know it, as well as parents being here for convocation. Visitors are able to travel now that there’s no snow, and the returning residents who were away for school, will soon descend on the town boosting that special summer feeling I look forward to every year. I am beyond excited to sip some local wine and enjoy some wonderful food on the patio at The Privet House, or to take a stroll down to Willow park and read a book on one of the benches, which always ends up with a visit to Randall House. And who doesn’t have a Wine Bus Tour on their summer schedule? All the websites for the wineries, restaurants, bed & breakfasts, and parks are being updated now to include summer hours, so get educated so that questioning tourists and friends can be informed of everything Wolfville has to offer.

Do you have plans for change this summer?

You could always take a trip to a place you’ve never visited, whether it is local or far away. Or you could take up a new hobby like gardening, bird watching, or learning to play a musical instrument. Maybe it’s time to improve your health by joining an outdoor activities group (biking, hiking, walking, yoga), an indoor activities group (swimming, basketball, badminton, aerobics), or join a gym. Hire a trainer and get your body and mind fit for the summer

A highly skilled singer, Susan has been performing for over twenty-five years. She loves giving concerts. Susan creates an intimacy with her audience through a carefully crafted concert environment. She notes,“It is critical the audience feels included in the event, that they connect to the performer. Eye contact is important and communication flows from artist to audience, enhancing the individual's listening experience. A small, acoustic environment achieves this.”

Eleven years ago, clients offered their prestigious mansion, called Greyhaven Manor as a venue, and Susan was thrilled to have the opportunity to perform there, thus Gala at Greyhaven was born. The beautiful venue has seating for ninety and fabulous acoustics.

and many summers to follow - it’s never too late to improve your health. Besides a personal fitness trainer, there’s also the change you can make by hiring a nutritionist and getting your diet in order.

The summer should be about enjoying food, wine, desserts, and campfire staples, but don’t damage your metabolism. Enjoy everything the summer can offer you but treat yourself well!

What about your work? Maybe you’re making a transition in your employment world and the next few weeks will be very important.

Sometimes, even when things change abruptly or without notice, there may be a good change just around the corner. Change is good and it happens for a reason. Be strong and enjoy the time you have to reflect and heal before making any big changes for your future.

There’s also a change to your personal style and home life that can happen during this time of year. Have you thought about a spa day for yourself or with a group (that goes out to the men too!)? How about just a slight or even a drastic change in your hair style, wardrobe… maybe just a new frame for your glasses will offer up enough change for you. People will notice, comment, question, follow suit and make a change for themselves based on you. The other day in the bank line, I noticed a woman’s toes because she had them painted this construction-worker-helmet orange that you could see from Space and it was a wonderful sight!

She said it was an impulsive decision that was very much out of her comfort zone and it was drawing lots of positive attention! Perhaps it’s time to pick up a design magazine and renovate your personal space at home - add a new paint color to your bedroom or loft, a new piece of fun furniture, or have a dinner party and make food you’ve never made or even tried before.

Rock the boat people! Think of something to shake it up and do it! Change can occur only if you do it!

I attended my partners MA Convocation yesterday and I’m so proud of him for his achievement. Watching all the graduates getting their diplomas, I noticed that they all took a deep breath after leaving the stage both as a sigh of completion and a moment to ponder their next step - hopefully a step to change themselves and the world…. this is the time for us all!

The concert begins at 4pm and will include an intermission offering Mediterranean food, wine, and desserts. The second half of the Gala features the music of George and Ira Gershwin, original compositions by Josseìe MacInnis, Kenneth Davidson, and an eclectic selection of klezmer.

Come and experience this unique event, in an intimate, acoustic setting and enjoy a fabulous evening of music. Very limited seating. Tickets are $50 per person, and are available by reservation only. Contact Susan at susan_dworkin@hotmail.com or call 902542-0649.

WHAT’S GROWING AT THE HARRIET IRVING BOTANICAL GARDENS:

Ephemerals

Submitted by Melanie Priesnitz, Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens

T

he early spring ephemerals are a group of plants that take advantage of the sunlight on the forest floor before the trees leaf out.

As the name suggests, they are a fast fleeting bunch, so don’t delay in visiting the Gardens or the natural Acadian Forest if you want to catch the ephemerals putting on their show.

If you visit the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens in the next few weeks you’ll see Mayflower, Trout Lily, and Purple and White trilliums in bloom. If you’re lucky you may also see Bloodroot (Sanguinaria Canadensis.)

It is easily my favourite of the ephemerals as it’s so pure and evanescent with its delicate white petals and yellow centre. Occasionally individual flowers will last but a day so it’s a privilege to see them before the wind lifts their petals away.

The Gardens are open daily to the public from dawn to dusk. We’re happy to report that the last of our snow melted on May 7.

Take a stroll through to see the beauty of the flora of the Acadian Forest Region. For more info visit our website at botanicalgardens. acadiau.ca

NOVA SCOTIA REALISM

Melanie Priesnitz Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens Acadia University, Wolfville, NS 902-585-1916

For more info: 585-1373 / artgallery@acadiau.ca / gallery.acadiau.ca

In the diverse history of Nova Scotian art, there is a consistent tradition of artists working in the Realist mode. From ship portraitists, landscape painters, and still life and trompe-l’oeil artists, to Magic Realists and those who work from photographic and digital sources, this pluralistic tradition is a vital part of Nova Scotian cultural identity.

Initiated by PLANS and developed in partnership with the Dalhousie Art Gallery, Capture

2014 began its life as a province-wide call for submissions that received 112 responses.

Through the support of PLANS and generous funding from the Robert Pope Foundation, freelance curator Tom Smart (in consultation with Peter Dykhuis, Director/Curator of the Dalhousie Art Gallery), conducted 43 studio visits during the summer of 2013, which resulted in the selection of 28 artists from almost every region of the province.

PASSING THROUGH CATASTROPHE- AESTHETICS, ALIENATION AND APOCALYPSE Submitted by the Social and Political Thought Program Conference Organizers

The Masters Program in Social and Political Thought at Acadia University has announced its graduate student conference: "Passing Through Catastrophe- Aesthetics, Alienation and Apocalypse". It will be held in the KC Irving Centre on the Acadia Campus from Friday, May 15 until Sunday, May 17.

Members of the community will be especially interested in a special panel called "Now or Never: Catastrophe & The Ivany Report", from 1:30pm until 2:30pm on Saturday, May 16 in the Acadia Room on the 2nd floor of the KC Irving Centre. Also of interest for members of the public will be the keynote lecture scheduled Saturday, May 16 from 6pm until 7:30pm in the KC Irving Auditorium. It is titled "The Catastrophe of Thought: Political Spirituality Contra Political Theology" and will be delivered by Dr. Michael Dillon, Professor Emeritus of Politics and International Relations at University of Lancaster.

W O LFVILLE’S BUSIN ESS BU Z Z A small chat with Cathy Whynot from Casa Bella 464 Main St., Wolfville, 542-4400 / casabellagifts@eastlink.ca / casabellagifts.ca Photo credit: Jeremy Novak

I see changes here in Casa Bella.

Yes, we have just completed many renovations which allows us to carry many new lines of clothing. There’s all kinds of fun things.

How long have you been in business?

We are going into our 13th year on the 22nd of May. Why did you set up in Wolfville initially?

I was doing the accounting for the former owner of The Fundy Shop and she wanted to sell. I had never owned a retail business and I had no idea what all was involved. We chose to stay in Wolfville because the town is always expanding and effervescent.

The University brings people young at heart, it’s a great town. Storefronts don’t sit empty for a long time.

How was your Mother’s Day? Fantastic! Lots of people came in and, because it’s also Convocation weekend, we get to see all the students that we’ve met over the years when they come in to say goodbye with their families. It’s a bit bittersweet in that aspect.

Do you see yourself becoming part of the new WBDC Board?

As a former director on the board, it is something that I’m going to have a look at. I’m curious to know what the new structure is going to be and who else is going to be part of it. I think the WBDC is something we ought to continue with. It’s important as a business owner to get involved and have a voice.

Will you be at the upcoming AGM on Thursday, May 21st?

I will be there!

What can people buy at Casa Bella?

We call ourselves a lifestyle boutique because we have not only fashion and accessories, but also some giftware.

Our focus is something exceptional for: babies, weddings, home décor, and those special people on your list. It’s important for a business to continually change in order to keep drawing people into your store and to keep the buzz going. (BTW, aren’t their window displays fantastic?)

Is there a strong future in Wolfville?

Yes! The future is bright so long as we continue to have a strong, collective voice. It’s a great place to be and I look forward to working with the Town.

WBDC’s Annual General Meeting – Thursday, May 21 You’re invited to the Wolfville Business Development Corporation’s Annual General Meeting.

Thursday, May 21st 6:30pm Acadia Cinema’s Al Whittle Theatre 450 Main Street, Wolfville, NS

The evening’s agenda will include: • Presentation of the 2014/2015 Financial Statements

• Consideration of Nominations from the floor

• Appointment of Auditor

• Member discussion on options, role and responsibilities of the WBDC moving forward

• Election of Officers & Directors

Please RSVP by Friday, May 15th by email: dhovell@downtownwolfville.com or telephone: (902) 542-4093

• Annual report from the Board of Directors • Consideration of Nominations Committee Report

We look forward to seeing you!

Summary of Some Key WBDC Accomplishments • With a long term vision to support the growth of Wolfville’s commercial core, the WBDC negotiated, acquired and invested in the former Cavanagh property on Linden Avenue, Carey property on Front Street and the former HBM Mechanical property on Elm Avenue which were all later developed into parking lots to support downtown businesses.

• Leveraged its independent position to secure infrastructure funding to build quality Main Street sidewalks and the reconstruction of Wolfville’s wharf in Waterfront Park.

• Through its leadership (and significant sweat equity), the WBDC developed the Dykeland Park lands to enable an anchor business to grow and to also provide new commercial development opportunities.

• A partner in the development of the chimney swift park on Front Street with a private investor and the Blomidon Naturalists Society.

• Created and managed local and provincial media advertising campaigns to position Wolfville as an ideal place to visit and shop.

• Launched and manage the Wolfville Magic Winery Bus that has captured international acclaim.

• Works actively with the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency, Taste of Nova Scotia and other promotional partners ensuring Wolfville maintains profile and attraction.

• Supports, advocates and nurtures businesses and new business investment. Plus assists new businesses to navigate regulatory and by-law issues.

we were able to access the harbour without any ice on the shore.

GV: Pretending money wasn't a factor, what does your ideal Wolfville Harbour look like?

GV: What makes the Wolfville Harbour special?

SW: There have been many ideas "floated" about the harbour including: restoring the boat launch that used to be at the harbour; creating a ferry from Wolfville to Kingsport to Parrsboro (Kipawo II); creating a marina at the harbour

SW: The spectacular views, the people who visit, the

highest tides along with Reconnective Healing being the smallest harbour in the world. I see tremendous

along with walking paths; building a lock system at the entrance to the harbour-lower at high tide (like in Windsor) - this would help restore the eroding dyke system near Wolfville; having River Tours of the Cornwallis River.

The WHO’S WHO:

Julie Monette: Practically Perfect in Every Way!

W

Mike Butler

ind's in the east…

Mist coming in…

Like something is brewing…

About to begin…

There is no film in my lifetime that I’ve seen more than Mary Poppins! This is no word of a lie, I have seen that film hundreds of times and it will always represent the best in family entertainment for me. It is a flawless piece of cinema and will entertain generations for many years to come. With classic music, incredible visual effects, and an Academy Award winning film debut performance by Julie Andrews, Mary Poppins flew on to the big screen fifty years ago and became one the most popular Disney films of all time. About a decade ago, the film was adapted into a Broadway Musical and wowed it’s audiences with hundreds of performances around the globe. Well, the Valley is going to get a treat this weekend as Mary Poppins comes to Wolfville to offer us a Spoonful of Sugar and an evening of amazing amusement!

The prime role of the ultimate magical nanny with rosy cheeks, a cheery disposition, the ability to sing songs, bring treats, and never smell of barley water goes to another Julie….

Julie Monette!

Julie Monette is from Bedford, Nova Scotia but lived in Wolfville for many years. She says, “I miss living in the valley like crazy and am so glad that I can maintain a connection through the St. Joseph's Stage Prophets! I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music and French at Dalhousie where I specialized in voice, and even got to perform in a few operas! I also hold a Bachelor of Education from Mount Saint Vincent University.”

In every job that must be done there is an element of fun. You find the fun and SNAP, the jobs a game…

When she’s not pulling mirrors out of her carpetbag as Mary Poppins, Julie teaches Early French Immersion at Hammonds Plains Consolidated School. She loves working with children and makes learning a fun and exciting process for them. And when she’s not teaching or rehearsing, Julie heads to places far and wide. She has visited South America, the U.K., the Middle East, and Africa. This summer she’s off to Italy for a Jolly Holiday!

But Julie says, “The Annapolis Valley has a charm all its own. There is nowhere in the world like it! I love the strong community bond, and the natural beauty that can be found all around. Whether I'm walking down

Who's Who is brought to you by

T.A.N. COFFEE

www.tancoffee.ca

Main Street in Wolfville, tubing on the Gaspereau River, sipping on local wine or enjoying the view of Blomidon, the valley always makes me feel like I've come home!”

Mary Poppins won’t be the first time you’ve encountered Julie if you’ve attended the magnificent Stage Prophets productions over the years.

Julie had the honour of playing Maria Von Trapp in The Sound of Music in 2010 (another role Julie Andrews played… I see a pattern!). She also dreamed a dream last year as Fantine in Les Miserables in 2014, and brought the house done with her beautiful voice and stage presence. But playing everyone’s favourite nanny has swept Julie off her feet and been her biggest challenge to date.

One would think playing this role would be all fun and games but to perfectly capture the essence of a character we’ve all known since birth is a daunting task… however, Julie is ready and excited. She hopes you’ll come over the rooftops with the chimney sweeps and step in time for this wonderful production.

This is the first time Mary Poppins will be performed by an amateur theatre company in Nova Scotia and Stage Prophets is doing it!

And this is gearing up to be a very impressive event. There will be six performances filled with talented actors, captivating costumes, magical flights, creative set designs and hundreds of hours of dedication from the cast, crew, and volunteers. Mary Poppins is being performed at the Festival Theatre (504 Main St) in Wolfville from May 14 to May 17 with evening performances starting at 7pm. You can also catch matinee performances May 16 and 17 at 1:30pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door but it’s strongly recommended that you purchase tickets in advance at Box of Delights in Wolfville, M&M Meat Shops in New Minas, Occasions Gifts in Kentville, or Inside Story in Greenwood. This is definitely one show you don’t want to miss. It's a family-favourite tale filled with heart, music and … well, no words can describe it so, when you have no words to explain something you simply say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!

Julie’s future plans include more traveling, more teaching, more theatre, and more living the dream! After Maria Von Trapp, Fantine and now, Mary Poppins… what role could be next for Julie? Whatever it is, she’ll make it look as easy as Mary Poppins flying on the East Wind with her parrot-head umbrella!

BLADE RUNNER SHARPENING SERVICE What is your Business? We sharpen knives, scissors, garden tools,

axes, lawn mower blades, pocket knives, grooming blades, specialty scissors, etc.

What are you most proud of in the product you make or grow for Market?

We sharpen old items that have been passed down within a family and/or have been lying in a drawer unused because they are useless. Instead of buying new, these items can be brought back to life.

What inspired you to start your business? As a dog groomer, I used to have to send blades and scissors to Ontario for sharpening. I often had to send them back as they were not done properly. I learned how to sharpen my own things. Then, other groomers tracked me down to sharpen their things. I soon added other items to my list of things I could sharpen.

What do you love best about coming to Market? I love the like-minded people who believe in recycling, and living a more natural, healthier life. I love the positive energies of all the vendors and all who visit the market.

What are some of the things you love best about coming to the Wolfville Farmers’ Market? I love having breakfast with my family, helping to sell Binky’s donuts, and dancing to the music.

What are some of your other interests and passions? I like riding my bike at the

The days are warm, the snow is (mostly) gone, and it’s finally time to put away the winter boots and get outside. We have a range of guides to help you explore the hiking trails of Nova Scotia, find the most scenic cycle routes, and identify the birds and gorgeous wildflowers that are slowly emerging and bringing some much needed bursts of colour (come on leaves!!). It’s also high time to get into the garden and start readying the soil for planting. If you need inspiration or technical know-how, we have the books for you.

“Most Tauruses know ten times more about the mystery of money than you will ever know,” said one. “Their excellent instincts trump any tips you could offer.” Another astrologer concurred, noting, “The financial advice you give Tauruses will at best be redundant and at worst simplistic.” A third colleague summed it up: “Offering Tauruses guidance about money is like counseling Scorpios about sex.” So although I’m shy about providing recommendations, I will say this: The next five weeks will be a favorable time to set in motion the plans to GET RICHER QUICKER!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Endings to be

useful must be inconclusive,” wrote science fiction novelist Samuel R. Delany. I endorse that theory for your use in the coming weeks. Interweave it with this advice from playwright Sam Shepard: “The temptation towards resolution, towards wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap.

Why not be more honest with the moment?

The most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving towards another beginning.” In other words, Gemini, don’t be attached to neat finales and splashy climaxes.

Consider the possibility that you can simply slip free of the complicated past and head toward the future without much fanfare.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In mythic

terms, you should be headed for the winner’s circle, which is inside the pleasure dome. The parade in your honor should follow the award ceremony, and let’s hope you will be on the lead float wearing a gold crown and holding a real magic wand while being sung to by a choir of people you love and who love you. If for any reason you are not experiencing some version of these metaphors, I urge you to find out why. Or better yet, get busy on planning a homecoming or graduation party or award ceremony for yourself. From an astrological perspective, you have a mandate to be recognized and appreciated for the gifts you offer the world.

Arthur Wellesley was a brilliant military commander. Renowned for his ability to beat larger armies, he also had great skill at minimizing loss of life among his own troops. His most famous triumph took place in 1815, when he led the forces that defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo.

In the aftermath, the French tyrant lost his power and went into exile. What was the secret of Wellesley’s success? “Bonaparte’s plans were made in wire,” he said. “Mine were made in string.” In other words, Wellesley’s strategy was more flexible and adaptable. As circumstances changed, it could be rearranged with greater ease. That’s the approach I recommend for you in the coming days.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may not be

strong enough to take a shot at a daunting challenge that’s five levels beyond your previous best. But I think you are at least ready to try a tricky challenge that’s one level higher than where you have been operating.

And that, in my opinion, is a more practical use of your courage. I think it would be a waste of your energy to get wrapped up in grandiose fantasies about impossible perfections. As long as you don’t overreach, you can accomplish small miracles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I suspect you are about to experience some prime contenders for The Most Unusual Adventures of 2015.

Are you thoroughly prepared? Of course not. There’s no way you can be totally ready to adapt to unpredictable wrinkles and change your mind at a moment’s notice.

But that’s exactly what will make these experiments so fun. That’s why they will be effective in building up your resilience and willpower. For best results, apply your nighttime thinking to daytime activities, and vice versa. Spend minimal time on responsibilities that don’t teach you noble truths about your fellow madmen and madwomen. Now here’s my big question: How can you tap into the extra power you will need during your rite of passage?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many modern

astronomers are allergic to astrology, but from my perspective there is no inherent conflict between the two fields. Four of history’s greatest astronomers were practicing astrologers, after all: Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Tycho Brahe, and Pierre Gassendi. One of my friends in college, a Scorpio woman named Martha Maiden, is a first-rate astrologer who got a degree in astronomy and became a top scientist at NASA. In the spirit of finding reconciliation between apparent opposites, I’m happy to say that you are now a virtual virtuoso in your ability to reconcile both apparent opposites and actual opposites. I invite you to use this aptitude with flair and daring.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sagittarian Matt Stutzman competes in the sport of archery. He’s the world’s record holder for longest accurate shot, having hit a target 230 yards away. What makes his accomplishment so extraordinary is the fact that he was born without any arms. He holds each arrow in his mouth and grasps the bow with his right foot and the help of a chest harness. In the spirit of this armless archer, and in accordance with your current astrological omens, I invite you to initiate an attempt to triumph over one of your socalled disadvantages.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Long

before Lou Reed recorded the song “Walk on the Wild Side,” Nelson Algren wrote a novel titled A Walk on the Wild Side. It depicts the luxuriant depravity of New Orleans’ French Quarter in the 1930s. One of Algren’s most enduring bits of spiritual advice goes as follows: “Never, ever, no matter what else you do in your whole life, never sleep with anyone whose troubles are worse than your own.” What do you think of that, Capricorn?

Even if you don’t regard it as a universal rule that you should unfailingly obey, I suggest you observe it in the coming weeks. For the sake of your mental hygiene, be extra discerning about what influences you absorb — not just in bed, but everywhere.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The cosmos has authorized you to be hungrier than usual. You may also feel free to respond to your enhanced hunger with an extra aggressive quest to be fed. Therefore: Be voracious! Risk being avid, ardent, and even agog. Fill yourself up with pudding, pleasure, praise, peace, perks, and privileges.

Anything else you’d like to engorge? If some unenlightened person questions your right to claim the biggest piece and the sweetest taste and the best fuel, inform them that your astrologer says you have ultimate permission.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is there an

interesting ally whose path rarely crosses yours? Do you draw inspiration from a likeminded dynamo who is not fully available?

Has fate kept you and a friend from getting as close as you would wish? According to my reading of the astrological omens, relationships like these could become more substantial in the coming weeks.

The dream of a more robust connection could ripen into an opportunity to actually collaborate. So be alert for the openings, and be prepared to do what’s necessary to go deeper.

Homework: Imagine that everything important you know is condensed into a single symbol or image. What is it?

answers:

resisting a temptation too strenuously is that the temptation might depart. I suggest that you prevent that from happening.

Without throwing yourself at the mercy of the temptation, see if you can coax it to stick around for a while longer. Why? In my view, it’s playing a useful role in your life.

It’s motivating you to change some things that really do need to be changed. On the other hand, I’m not yet sure that it should become anything more than a temptation.

It might serve you best that way, not as an object of your satisfied desire.

HOL DI N G S PR IN G New Paintings by Wayne Boucher

April 18 – May 17 | Harvest Gallery | 462 Main St., Wolfville, NS | 902-542-7093

Valley Family Fun

X is for Xylophones and other great instruments!

By Laura Churchill Duke

Wayne Boucher: Holding Spring, opened Saturday, April 18 at Harvest Gallery in Wolfville and will run until May 17. The artist was in attendance for the opening reception held on April 25.

It is never too early to introduce your children to music.

Having them learn to play a musical instrument can be a great source of joy, education and relaxation for children.

Boucher’s work deals with the luminosity of light and the radiance of colour in counterpoint with elemental schemata that transcends surface and meaning. The intent of his work has been for the viewer to “fall in and drown in the work” and see things beyond the surface of the paintings.

The best time for children to have formal lessons is when they are school-aged and have some basic literacy and a longer attention span. In the Valley we are fortunate to have a great array of people who teach music lessons in group and private settings. These range from piano lessons to stringed instruments including the violin, guitar and ukulele! A list of music instructors can be found on www.valleyfamilyfun.ca under Arts & Crafts – Music.

In “Holding Spring”, the new series of work being shown at Harvest Gallery, the painting tool (foam covered squeegees), and the manner and process of paint application inform the content of the painting, along-side and in counterpoint with, image-holding bars, lines, or squares. In the painting “Holding Spring”, for example, the line-bars hold and support the gestural paint application from the bottom and the sides giving the possibilities of a torso or shape being held in space. In the blue works “Still Spinning and Thinking of You” and “She Stood Up and Curtsied”, four yellow squares are used similarly to outline and inform the parameters of what may be a chair shape holding and supporting a torso shape.

Wayne Boucher was born in 1943 in Ontario. He studied at the Banff Centre in Alberta and at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1975. The following year he moved to Graywood, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia where he continues his painting practice at his studio in Parker’s Cove.

Cost is $5-$10 (or pay what you can).

If you’re not interested in lessons, but want to expose your children to music and rhythm, drop into the Wolfville Baptist Church on Saturdays from 1pm to 2:30pm for some drumming with Djebmes and Duns.

All are welcome, no experience necessary. The goal is to learn, play, and have fun!

Or, head to the library and get a book on how to make your own musical instruments and start your own band! Just get playing with your kids! www.valleyfamilyfun.ca info@valleyfamilyfun.ca
