ON THE COVER

LOCAL LYRICS LOTTO

Valley Ghost Walks are two-hour, historical productions throughout the streets and cemeteries of four Valley communities: Wolfville, Kentville, Windsor, & Halls Harbour.

Led by Jerome the GraveKeeper, these family-friendly walks introduce you to numerous historical ghosts who either died tragically or did remarkable things.

Jerome the GraveKeeper is quick to point out that, "We live in the most historically amazing area in all of North America. We might as well celebrate the history of the Annapolis Valley in a fun and creative way."

For a list of the upcoming shows, see the ad on page 5.

Pre-purchasing tickets for October is always preferred ($15 adults, $10 students + Ticketpro fees). For more info: 6928546 / jerome@valleyghostwalks.com / valleyghostwalks. com On the cover: The ghosts of Wolfville's Gravely Ghost Walks Photo credit: Twin Bridges Photography

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

My sisters and I spent a lot of time planning a ten-day excursion around Nova Scotia. Seeing as it's their first time in Canada, they wanted to preplan as much as they could: accommodations, attractions, and so on. I was much more relaxed because I already had the chance to experience the kindness of Wolfville for seven months; I knew it would all come together nicely.

About 7 days ago we started our road trip and, I just have to say, Nova Scotian people all around the province are so kind and nice and wonderful! People we've never met (both strangers and

parents & friends of friends) have provided us places to stay and food and incredible hospitality. They’ve recommended many hidden local things that otherwise we wouldn’t have ever seen. Nova Scotia by itself is beautiful (especially in fall), but combine it with awesome and generous people and it makes it even more special!

My sisters and I are so thankful for everything we’ve been able to experience in Nova Scotia.

We have so many more reasons to come back as soon as possible!

MIKE UNCORKED

THE CROSSWORD

by Mike Butler

brought to you by:

War and Remembrance: Part Two produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg,

I have just finished the CentreStage production of “My Boy Jack”, a gripping drama that received stellar reviews; mostly for its cast and the play’s no-holds-barred depiction of the First World War. I was greatly tested as an actor during this production, it was a very different role for me, and I want to thank the audiences and my cast mates for all their support.

Now, with “My Boy Jack” and the First World War finished, I have decided to move into the Second World War and into “The Lighthouse”.

Nova Scotia playwright (and veteran CentreStage actor) Allen Hume wrote and directed this riveting and very personal play about family and war.

“The Lighthouse” is an enduring tale of fortitude and strength in the face of the heartaches that war can bring. Cast members include Ray Baltzer, Sherry Bishop, Tracy Churchill, Candy O’Brien, Mike Holland, Wil Lang and myself, in the role of Lionel, the youngest son of the Lighthouse family. What an incredible experience it’s been to work with this cast and with Allen again, after I had the privilege of acting in his “Coins” last year. This production is a Must-See! Allen Hume’s “The Lighthouse” has only SIX performances on the Main Stage of CentreStage Theatre playing October 24 - November 2 (see poster in this issue or call CentreStage at 678-8040 for further details and to reserve tickets). This is a very special show, locally written, that will leave you with a tear in your eye and a smile on your face. I am so proud to be a part of it.

CentreStage Theatre & The Kings Historical Society are also holding a special Remembrance Day show in the upstairs area of the Old Courtroom of the Kings County Museum (37 Cornwallis Street). This unique presentation is entitled “Remembering” and will transport the audience trough music and theatre. “Remembering” only has TWO performances, one on November 7 at 7:30pm and the final on November 8 at 7:30pm. Call 678-8040 to reserve tickets (Gift Certificates and Season Passes are NOT accepted for this presentation).

Do you not feel like taking in some live theatre? Well, here are my selections for the best MOVIES that depict the Second World War, in case you want to have a night at home without a crowd of people. Watching movies about such a harsh subject matter means you can pause and take breaks if it gets too intense.

My favourite film about World War II is “Saving Private Ryan”, starring Tom Hanks. Steven Spielberg directed this film as well as Schindler’s List - also one of my favourites. Both are difficult to watch because of their intensity but they are beautiful films about strength, endurance and the human spirit. You could easily pair up Saving Private Ryan with the HBO series, Band of Brothers, coincidentally

which dramatizes the history of ‘Easy Company’ (2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division) from jump training in the U.S., through its participation in major actions in Europe, and to Japan's capitulation and war's end. It’s an outstanding mini-series.

6. October's birth flower is the _____.

9. The Anglo-____ called October "Winterfylleth".

10. October has _____ days 12. October is also _____ Tumour Awareness Month.

After that, check out “Patton” (1970), just for the brilliant performance by Oscar winner George C. Scott as the famous general.

There’s also “Bridge on the River Kwai”, with Alec Guiness and William Holden or “The Great Escape” with Steve McQueen.

13. The title of one of Neil Gaiman's short stories is "October in the ___".

4. The crossword in the Oct 2 issue of The Grapevine was about this October holiday.

5. Hallowe'en, aka "All __ Eve" is celebrated on October 31.

7. Ray Bradbury published a collection of short stories entitled "The October ____" in 1955.

8. Slavs call October the ____ month.

10. Scorpio's birthstone is ______.

11. Opal is the birthstone of this zodiac sign.

For those film buffs that enjoy the extended epic films, a whole afternoon spent with a movie, then you must see the Wolfgang Peterson Director’s Cut of “Das Boot” (1981) or the 1962 star-filled epic “The Longest Day”. Spend the weekend with “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, “A Bridge Too Far”, “Stalag 17” (starring the unbelievable William Holden), or for something lighter but just as important in its message, you could even take in the classic “Casablanca”! And lastly, a great pair of Second World War films that were both directed by Clint Eastwood, tell both sides of the same war story and those films are “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters from Iwo Jima”. Of course there are hundreds of films to choose from, since there are more hours of FILM about World War Two then there were ACTUAL hours of War, did you know that?

Name & Phone Number:

A few issues back, I wrote an article about World War I and some of the events taking place in the Valley (theatre and film wise) that were being presented to commemorate the 100th anniversary. Well, with Remembrance Day just around the corner, I felt it best to do an article about some of the events happening in the valley commemorating World War II.

402 Main St. Wolfville | 902.542.0653 | thenakedcrepebistro.ca

No matter how you choose to remember that era, either through theatre or film, DO take the time to actually remember and never forget. Thank You and Take Care of Yourselves!

October 2 – 16, 2014

Copyright 2014 Rob Brezsny freewillastrology.com

Horoscopes for the week of October 16th

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1987, a

college freshman named Mike Hayes was having trouble paying for his education at the University of Illinois. He appealed for help to the famous newspaper columnist Bob Greene, who asked each of his many readers to send Hayes a penny. The response was tidal. Although most of the ensuing donations were small, they added up to over $28,000—enough for Hayes to finance his degree. I encourage you to take a comparable approach in the coming weeks, Taurus: Ask for a little from a lot of different sources.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The word

“abracadabra” is a spell that stage magicians utter at the climax of their tricks: the catalyst that supposedly makes a rabbit materialize from a hat or an assistant disappear in a puff of smoke. There’s no real sorcery. It’s an illusion perpetrated by the magician’s hocus-pocus. But “abracadabra” has a less well-known history as an incantation used by real magicians to generate authentic wizardry. It can be traced back to Gnostic magi of the second century. They and their successors believed that merely speaking the word aloud evokes a potency not otherwise available. I invite you to experiment with this possibility, Gemini. Say “abracadabra” to boost your confidence and enhance your derring-do. You already have more power than usual to change things that have been resistant to change, and intoning some playfully ferocious “abracadabras” may put your efforts over the top.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 17thcentury writer Rene Descartes is regarded as the father of modern philosophy and the founder of rationalism. His famous catchphrase is a centerpiece of the Western intellectual tradition: “I think, therefore I am.” Here’s what I find amusing and alarming about the man: He read almost nothing besides the Bible and the work of Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas. He said that classic literature was a waste of time. Is that who we want at the heart of

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can’t give what you don’t have. Here’s a corollary: You can sort of half-give what you half-have, but that may lead to messy complications and turn out to be worse than giving nothing at all. So here’s what I recommend: Devote yourself to acquiring a full supply of what you want to give. Be motivated by the frustration you feel at not being able to give it yet. Call on your stymied generosity to be the driving force that inspires you to get the missing magic.

When you’ve finally got it, give it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I suspect that

one of your allies or loved ones will get caught in his or her own trap. The way you respond will be crucial for how the rest of the story plays out. On the one hand, you shouldn’t climb into the trap with them and get tangled up in the snarl. On the other hand, it won’t serve your long-term interests to be cold and unhelpful. So what’s the best strategy? First, empathize with their pain, but don’t make it your own.

Second, tell the blunt truth in the kindest tone possible. Third, offer a circumscribed type of support that won’t compromise your freedom or integrity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1936, Libran author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about the “crack-up” he had experienced years earlier.

It included this tough realization: “I had been only a mediocre caretaker of most of the things left in my hands, even my talent.”

Let’s use this as a seed for your oracle. Have you been a good caretaker of your talent?

Have you been a good caretaker for other things you are responsible for? Look within yourself and take inventory. If there’s anything lacking, now is an excellent time to raise your game. If you’re doing pretty well, reward yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): On a late

summer day in 1666, scientist Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree in his mother’s garden in Lincolnshire, England.

An apple fell off a branch and plummeted to the ground. A half-century later, he told his biographer that this incident inspired him to formulate the theory of gravity. Fast forward to the year 2010. Astronaut Piers Sellers got on the space shuttle Atlantis carrying a piece of Newton’s apple tree. He took it with him as he escaped Earth’s gravity on his trip to the International Space Station. By my reading of the astrological omens, now would be an excellent time for you undertake a comparable gesture or ritual, Scorpio. With a flourish, update your relationship with an important point of origin.

A bsolute NonScents ECONOMY

ENVIRONMENT

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Most

birds don’t sing unless they are up high: either flying or perched somewhere off the ground. One species that isn’t subject to this limitation is the turnstone, a brightly mottled shorebird. As it strolls around beaches in search of food, it croons a tune that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology calls “a short, rattling chuckle.” In the coming weeks, this creature deserves to be your mascot—or your power animal, as they say in New Age circles. Why? I doubt that you will be soaring. You won’t be gazing down at the human comedy from a detached location high above the fray. But I expect you will be well-grounded and good-humored—holding your own with poise amidst the rough-andtumble. As you ramble, sing freely!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s

discuss that thing you are eyeing and coveting and fantasizing about. My operative theory is that you can enjoy it without actually having it for your own. In fact, I think it will be best if you do enjoy it without possessing it. There’s an odd magic at play here. If this desired thing becomes a fixed part of your life, it may interfere with you attracting two future experiences that I regard as more essential to your development. My advice is to avoid getting attached to the pretty good X-factor so as to encourage the arrival and full bloom of two stellar X-factors.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way,” said philosopher Alan Watts. You have either recently made a personal discovery proving that this is true, or else you will soon do so. The brain-scrambling, heart-whirling events of recent weeks have blessed you with a host of shiny new questions. They are vibrant replacements for the tired old questions that have kept at least one of your oldest dilemmas locked in place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is

for everyone some one scene, some one adventure, some one picture that is the image of his secret life,” said Irish poet William Butler Yeats. I invite you to identify that numinous presence, Pisces. And then I urge you to celebrate and cultivate it.

Give special attention to it and pay tribute to it and shower love on it. Why? Because now is an excellent time to recognize how important your secret life is to you—and to make it come more fully alive than it has ever been.

City’s Diamond District is home to over 2,000 businesses that buy and sell jewelry.

Throughout the years, many people have lost bits of treasure here. Valuable bits of gold and gems have fallen off broken necklaces, earrings, watches, and other accessories. Now an enterprising man named Raffi Stepnanian is cashing in.

Using tweezers and a butter knife, he mines for the rich pickings that are packed in the mud of sidewalk cracks and gutters. “The percentage of gold out here on the street is greater than the amount of gold you would find in a mine,” he says. I’d love to see you get inspired by his efforts, Aries. Dig for treasure in unlikely places where no one else would deign to look.

Tattoo Artist: Amanda Brown, The Collective Tattoo Studio, New Minas, NS Tattooee: Tess Pooran Although there is no official eating disorder recovery symbol, the logo for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is often used to symbolize recovery from these devastating disorders. Tess Pooran got this tattoo a couple of months into her recovery from Anorexia. Before she left for residential treatment, a counsellor told her that recovery would not only nourish her body and help her regain health, but it would also nourish her soul. She chose the word “Nourish” and the NEDA symbol – a beautifully simple design with swooping curves - to help remind herself to choose recovery every day.

Authors@Acadia - Fall Term Thurs. Nov. 6: Richard Wagamese 7pm, Fountain Commons Great Hall

Richard Wagamese, a Canada Reads Finalist for Indian Horse, reads from a stunning new novel that tells the universal story of a father/ son struggle in a fresh, utterly memorable way, set in the dramatic landscape of the BC Interior. A novel about love, friendship, courage, and the idea that the land has within it powers of healing, Medicine Walk reveals the ultimate goodness of its characters and offers a deeply moving and redemptive conclusion. Wagamese's writing soars and his insight and compassion are matched by his gift of communicating these to the reader. http://www.mcclelland.com

Tues. Nov. 18: Deanna Young, 7pm Vaughan Library Quiet Reading Room

Deanna Young reads from her haunted and haunting third poetry collection, House Dreams, part of which is set in the Annapolis Valley. A book of dark corners and shifting locations, full of switches that light up the unobvious places elsewhere in the house, the book is at once a core sample of the life we all live underground, and a view beneath the foundations of the various eras and places that make up one woman’s life story. These poems have the plainspoken power, surreal shifting, uncanny logic and transformed everyday imagery of our most numinous dreams. www.brickbooks.ca

Canadian comedian Ron James returning to Acadia Acadia University’s 175th anniversary and Homecoming will feature a special comedy event with Canadian comedian and Acadia alumnus Ron James (’79). “A Ron James Homecoming” will be held October 18, 7:30 p.m. at University Hall, Acadia University in Wolfville and the proceeds will directly benefit the ‘Sydney Taylor ’13 Memorial Award’ and alumni programming at Acadia. Created in 2013 to honour Sydney Taylor, who passed away suddenly just before her graduation ceremony in 2013, the scholarship is aimed at helping Acadia University students with their studies.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ron back to campus to help us celebrate the end of an exciting 175th anniversary year and raise money for the award,” said Hugh Bray (‘75), event chair and past president of the Associated Alumni of Acadia University. “Many folks are unaware that Ron had a special connection with Sydney.” James’ CBC comedy series “The Ron James Show” previously employed Taylor

as a student intern. According to James, Taylor made a remarkable impact on the entire production team.

“Sydney was a bright student who immediately immersed herself in the filming process with confidence and eagerness,” said James. “Her energy and enthusiasm for the craft was infectious.”

James recently wrapped production on the fifth season of his hit series and has since been touring the country with his “Take No Prisoners” comedy show.

Described as “utterly brilliant” by The Ottawa Sun, James will end his tour by returning to his Acadia and Wolfville roots.

Wed. Nov. 26: Michael Crummey 7pm, KCIC Auditorium

Michael Crummey reads from Sweetland, his most irresistible novel yet. The inhabitants of a remote island off Newfoundland's south coast are offered a government compensation package to leave the island for good. Former fisherman, retired lightkeeper, lifelong bachelor, Sweetland resists the concerted, sometimes violent coercion of family and friends in order to hold onto the only place he's ever called home. Rash, resourceful, inscrutable, cunning, Moses Sweetland ranks with fiction’s most unforgettable characters, as do many of those closest to him. But Sweetland's most intimate relationship is with the island that shaped him, a place at once beautiful and potentially lethal, as enigmatic and as fierce as the man himself.

October 2 – 16, 2014 Cheri Killam is happily married to Michael Caplan and the proud mother of Max, Solomon, and Clara. After several university experiences, she made the massive decision to go to law school at age 37. She is an Associate at Nathanson Seaman Watts. When not blogging or lawyering, Cheri reads like a fiend and runs.

She also loves all things local! Obviously.

Do Not Eat The Soap Well, it only took 6 1/2 months of dedicated training, but today I finished my very first half marathon. And what does every runner crave after a long, hard run? That's right: a long relaxing shower. Fortunately, this edition's focus is Slice Soapworks.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I feel I should tell you (and the good people of Slice Soapworks) that I first acquired a product from Slice a little over three weeks ago in stealth mode. I figured something like a body lotion should have a good long time to soak in (see what I did there) in order for me to give a proper evaluation of the effectiveness of said product.

Now. There is a certain judge in town, who shall remain nameless, who is not fond of scented products. In fact, she has been known to close Court to allow scent offenders to clean up their act. Fortunately, I am also a member of the less-is-more and noneis-perfect school of thought when it comes to befouling our shared airspace. While Slice makes many delightfully scented products, they also produce an array of exciting products for the minimalist (noneist?) camp. I asked whether they produced an unscented body lotion and while the knowledgeable and friendly daughter to the chief soap cook (Taylor) told me that they do manufacture unscented lotion, they were sold out at the time I made my request. Excitingly, however, they make a wonderful peppermint lotion!

The lotion is just about the greatest thing I can think of for a post-run shower. It is soothing and refreshing and it leaves no scent to irritate anyone. I have extremely dry sky and this lotion has been amazing.

The other fantastic part is that it comes in glass bottles, which you can return for refills and/or refunds. I am a convert.

The week after I had procured said loveliness, I returned to Slice and introduced myself, this time in search of their raison d'être: soap. Soap has gotten a bad rap over the years and no wonder. The cakes of crud offered by supermarkets and drugstores is nasty, harsh, chemically badness. Handmade cold-pressed soap, on the other hand, is a wonder to behold. Slice Soapworks starts

UPCOMING EVENTS Oktoberfest, Oct 17th and 18th featuring Hupman Brothers at 7pm Kickin Mule, Oct 24th at 7pm Left of Centre, Oct 31st at 7pm

with a base of goat milk from their very own goats! I can tell you, when goats are involved, life is just better. And here is the really cool part: their soap is also available in unscented but exciting varieties. Nothing has made me more thrilled than to see their “Valley Vineyards” variety. This soap has a lovely swirly colour and just the faintest hint of a lovely red wine. I love the combination of local goodies and fun options for the unscented crowd. I am told, too, it has extra wonderful benefits for my skin.

I let Clara choose a second soap and she selected one called “Forest.” Forest has cedar wood, balsam fir and pine oils and it smells like a hike to Cape Split. Clara held it to her nose most of the way home, sighing “Oh WHY does it smell SO GOOD!!!” As for me, I decided to go with the theme of the week at the Wolfville Farmers' Market, which was Pumpkin Palooza. Slice had whipped up a delicious smelling Sweet Pumpkin Chai. This soap smells so good it makes me want to bite it (a lifelong challenge of mine, as my mother will tell you: I love soap). I have resisted, however, as experience has taught me that even the best smelling soap is not edible.

In short – do not eat the soap, do not lick the lotion, but DO rush out and get your own delightful soap, lotion (and bath bombs and lip balms) to let your skin drink in. Slice is available at the Wolfville Farmers' Market, and other locations.

October 2 – 16, 2014

The WHO’S WHO: Wil Lang: TRIUMPHS OF THE WIL!

I’m a busy man. There, I admitted it! Right here in PRINT, I admit to all my readers, I am a very busy man, but what about Wil Lang? Seriously, check out this guy. Yes, it’s Wil with only one ‘L’ and if you’ve eaten at the Troy Restaurant in Wolfville, strolled through the Wolfville market, escaped to Pantoland in Fezziwig 2013, or just walked around town, then you’ve seen, heard of, or encountered Wil Lang. And if you haven’t, then you haven’t left the house in a very long time. I am busy but Wil Lang takes the Baklava!

Wil Lang comes from Banff, Alberta. He moved to Wolfville in his late 20’s to go to Acadia. Wil studied Theatre and fell in love with the Valley. My first encounter with Wil was as an audience member for some of his Acadia productions and then seeing him in all his glory as one of the December Male Calendar models for the Men of Wolfville Spread (we’re not ashamed are we Wil, as I will always be Mr. April!) Wil moved back to Alberta to complete his Masters in Architecture and following that accomplishment, returned to Wolfville where he’s been ever since. He is the proud father of two adorable sons named Lennon and Wynn.

To go with Wil’s snappy shirts and pants, he wears many hats. Professionally, Wil is the owner and operator of Green Army Design, where he practices sustainable residential development. Wil states, “Growing up in Banff, I developed a strong respect for the environment. This formalized into an interest in environmental politics during my years at Acadia. From there I chose to study sustainable architecture as a way for me to make a tangible difference in our shared futures. The Green Army is my vehicle to do just that, and we are going to need a Green Army if we are going to tackle the many challenges ahead of us.” You can pop in to Green Army and see what Wil has to offer. His office is located at 3 Elm Avenue in Wolfville and you can find Green Army Design on Facebook.

Wil is also the co-owner of the fabulous Troy Restaurant located at 12 Elm Avenue in Wolfville. Have you been there? It’s to die for!!! And having worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, loving the customer service aspect of serving, and being around great people and amazing food, Wil fit perfectly at Troy. Wil says “it’s a job that lets you entertain and make people happy, I mean, what more could you ask for? Troy allows me the opportunity to indulge this side of me.” Be sure to check out their website for upcoming events at troyrestaurant.ca, and get down there to enjoy a nice meal on the patio before old man winter takes over.

Another hat Wil wears is that of the President of the WBDC. Being part of this organization has given Wil an enormous appreciation for the business community in Wolfville. He hopes to use his leadership skills to continue building Wolfville into a premier destination for visitors and an exciting and successful environment for businesses to thrive.

And now for the Theatre hat that Wil wears.

Wil always jokes that his other professions are a way to allow him to be an unemployed actor for the rest of his life. After being a part of the Fezziwig ensemble in last year’s Alice in Pantoland (Wil was the THRILLER-singing Werewolf), he has picked up

the acting bug again and couldn’t be more Thrilled! (hee hee, get it… Thriller… and Thrilled… Anyone?)

Wil will be returning to the stage in this year’s Fezziwig production of “Scrooge: Back to the Future” in December, but first he’s taking on a more serious role in Allen Hume’s drama “The Lighthouse” playing at CenteStage Theatre October 24, 25, 26 (matinee), November 1 (matinee and evening), and November 2 (matinee). Yes, that’s right folks, only SIX performances of this exquisite production. Wil plays a WWII soldier named Raymond, and his role has so many levels of emotion, you simply have to see it!

Call 678-8040 to make reservations.

Outside of work (and other things) Wil spends a lot of time with his boys. Wil says of Wolfville that it’s “such an amazing place small, beautiful, safe, an hour away from the city, an hour away from the airport, an hour away from the south shore, etc. There are great schools, a healthy environment, and it’s the best place to raise kids.”

Now, what does the future hold for this extremely busy man? Well, Will says it might involve some level of public service, be it Municipal, Provincial or Federal (Mayor Wil Lang?) but he would need to write a juicy tell-all memoir first, right? Troy and Green Army Design are still young, so they have some growth ahead. And of course now that Wil has the acting bug (and he’s not getting any younger, despite looking 14 years old with that new Lighthouse haircut), he is seeking more acting gigs on film or on stage.

It’s a big commitment but, it’s not like he’s busy or anything!

See the Lighthouse! See Fezziwig! Eat at Troy! Save the Planet! Where there’s a WIL, there’s a Way!

HUMANS OF THE ANNAPOLIS VALLEY Collected by Linnea Swinimer

FAMILY FUN IN THE VALLEY: L is for Lacrosse!

AXE RADIO TOP TEN

Lacrosse was originally played by First Nations peoples and has since become Canada's National Summer Sport. However, very few people know what it is, let alone how to play it!

Lacrosse is played with a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick. The head of the lacrosse stick is strung with loose mesh designed to catch and hold the ball. The objective of the game is to score by shooting the ball into an opponent's goal, using the lacrosse stick to catch, carry, and pass the ball.

Now you have an opportunity to learn how to play!

There is a group in the area called Kentville Lacrosse (which can be found on Facebook under the same name). There are teams for all ages and they usually practice at the Kingstec Campus, NSCC in Kentville.

Slow Cooker Black Bean Chili

By Darrin Harvey

S

ue is a superb cook. She put herself through Acadia as a caterer. This is one thing I can 'cook' (for lack of a better term) that we both really like. We mix it all up before work and come home to supper ready and the house smelling amazing. It's a fantastic, we're-both-toobusy-to-cook fall meal. It makes leftovers for days.

Ingredients • • • • • • • •

1 lb pork tenderloin 16oz jar of salsa 3 - 15oz cans of black beans I cup instant brown rice 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 tsp ground cumin 2-3 tsp chili powder 1-1&1/2 tsp dried oregano

Directions • • • •

Combine all ingredients (except the rice) in a slow cooker Cover, cook on low for 6-8 hours or until pork is tender Add the uncooked instant rice at the end, giving it just enough time to cook (10-15 mins).

The original recipe called for 1 onion - I hate onions - and no rice. We made that part up.

Support a local farmer, artist, student, and an international community all in one go!

That’s the hope of one of the artists being featured at Jack’s Gallery this month, located in the Just Us coffee shop in Wolfville.

Rachel Morrison, a fourth year Acadia University student, hopes to raise enough money to help fund her international community development trip to Peru this coming March.

Each winter, the students in their final year of study in the Community Development program, embark on a three-week community development project, the culmination of their studies in the bachelor degree program. This project takes the form of two local initiatives and one international, this year taking place in Peru. In order to get there, the students need to raise over $3,000 each.

Aside from being a student, Rachel has been a professional artist for many years, creating commissioned artwork (watercolour paintings and graphite renderings) and working as a commercial artist. This art show is her first fine art venture and the first time her work has been shown in a gallery. The theme for her show is local agriculture – this is a very personal topic for her, as she and her partner

also began a small farming business this past year.

Inspired by her garden work, many of the photos referenced in her paintings were taken at her farm this past summer.

The show will be in the gallery until October 26th, 2014. For more information, please visit the Facebook page: facebook.com/Peru2015Fundraising, or Rachel’s blog at: paintednsketched.blogspot. com/
