ON THE COVER

An Interview with Michael Howell

Executive Director – Devour! The Food Film Fest

What makes you most excited about Devour!?

The diversity of our programing this year is very exciting for us. Not only do we have 55 new films from around the world – a good number of world & Canadian premieres – but we’ve really reached out to a larger community of people in the digital film and television world. When we were at the Berlin Film Festival looking for films to

November 13 – 27, 2014

showcase, we had the opportunity to meet Thomas Struck, the Chair of the Berlinale’s Culinary Cinema Program. He’s coming to Devour!! He’s going to be the chair of our jury. I couldn’t be more over the moon to think that Devour! has a linkage to the Berlin Film Festival.

That’s right. Everyone is talking about Anthony Bourdain coming, but it’s more than just Anthony…

Anthony is only here for 24 hours; he was an anchor to get the world’s media to pay attention to what’s going on here in Wolfville.

We always heard that it was on his bucket list to be involved in a film festival and ours, being about food, was what we think made it work for him even though it’s only a small window in his schedule. He’s flying here for the festival from Washington, spending a full day, then he’s off to New York and immediately to Madagascar in the same day.

While he’s here though, we’re going to show him great cuisine by our great Nova Scotian

and visiting chefs, demonstrate wonderful Nova Scotia hospitality, and he’s being officially inducted into the Province of Nova Scotia’s Order of Good Cheer along with all of our 30 visiting chefs, delegates, writers, & VIPs that are coming from around the world. He’s going to walk away with an ‘I am now an ambassador to Nova Scotia’ certificate. We have him quite busy while he’s here and we really want him to come back sometime in the future so he can spend a full week or shoot his TV show here.

Your intention is to continue with this festival, correct?

Every part of my being wants to make this become not only an annual event, but something that lasts into perpetuity. My vision has always been to create the Sundance for food films. That is what I want for Wolville and for NS and for Kings County. That we can actually spur development in the film and television and digital media industry here and to become a relevant player be-

cause we’re a very cool niche product. I have every intention to put the next 10 years of my life into it in hopes to come up with a good strategic plan to keep it going forever.

Where did the idea come from? Was there a eureka moment?

We had 1000 people show up to the first one in 2009 and in 2011, when we did it again, we had 2000. Last year, when we started it as an annual event, we had 4000 and this year we hope to see 8000 tickets sold during Devour! We have every anticipation that it should be something that is important and will attract visitors and appeal to those in the industry who’ll want to shoot film and digital media about food and then premiere it here. There’s a strong industry component to this.

A

t the Remembrance Day services held in Windsor, a young Girl Guide, who had also been selected as one of the students to place a wreath on behalf of her school, became distraught after being unable to make her way to the other chosen students in time to place the wreath. She returned to her Girl Guide troupe sobbing and buried her face in the arms of one of the Guide leaders who tried to console her disappointment. In front of the Girl Guide troupe, various military personnel were lined up ready to place wreaths on behalf of local businesses.

When the time came to lay the corporate sponsored wreaths, an army soldier, having been close by to witness the Girl Guide’s disappointment, quietly picked up his designated wreath, turned to the Girl Guide and asked her if she

would do him the great favour of placing his wreath for him. She quickly stopped her tears, dutifully took the wreath from the soldier’s hands and made her way to the cenotaph amid all the military personnel towering over her and proudly placed the wreath.

The beauty and symbolism of this gesture, in sharing the responsibility of paying respect for the fallen by a serving military member with a young girl who also serves her community, is an image I will not soon forget. I wasn’t able to catch up with the soldier after the ceremony to get his name or thank him for his kindness, so I hope he may read about it here and know that his gesture did not go unnoticed and is deeply appreciated.

THE CROSSWORD

brought to you by:

Wants & Needs

402 Main St. Wolfville | 902.542.0653 | thenakedcrepebistro.ca

Do you know the difference between WANTS and NEEDS? We all use these terms in our everyday life but do we really understand them.

Do I really NEED a coffee or do I just WANT one? I know for sure that every day I NEED smiles, hugs and laughter. I know that every day I WANT breakfast, lunch and dinner.

But…. well, just read on.

Well over a year ago, maybe Summer 2013, I was walking down Central Avenue in Wolfville, just another ordinary day in my life, skipping back from the post office, and on the telephone pole was this very random sign (see photo). Why did I choose to go down Central Avenue instead of Main Street? And in saying that, I am not sure why it wasn’t on Main Street where more people could see it… but there it hung on Central. I don’t know who hung it there or what their motivations were, but for over a year this sign has stuck with me for so many reasons and I’m finally going to share them with you.

There is a beautiful person out there who felt it necessary to create this sign and offer up one word - NEEDS - for those struggling with something in his/her life. It’s just a slip of paper with a word printed on it but it was the saying “Take What You Need” that seriously brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my heart. Some people need advice or help but are too shy or scared to ask for it directly, no matter how close our family and friends are to us. This poster gave those in need a chance to take what would make them feel more complete and comforted without having to ask for it. What an incredible gift, eh?

In case it’s hard to read, there are twelve words on the poster (three were missing when I got to it): Love, Hope, Forgiveness, Faith, Patience, Freedom, Peace, Strength, and Confidence. For over a year I’ve wondered what the three missing words were, how did those earlier people stumble upon the poster (randomly like me? or guided somehow?), and who specifically needed those words (someone I know? a visitor to Wolfville?). Will I ever know the answers to these questions? Probably not, but my head and my heart have some ease because they obviously needed the word, took it, and I hope it worked for them.

What words were missing? What could someone have needed that took precedence over Love, Faith or Peace? I asked around and some of my friends came up with these words: Truth, Balance, Order, Equality, Justice, Structure, Mercy, Inspiration, Wisdom, Understanding, Compassion, and Healing.

In case you’re wondering, I did NOT take anything off the poster. That particular day I didn’t need any of those words. I was feeling complete and well and strong. I think I just needed to see that sign and have it on my mind and carry it with me.

Today is November 10th, and two things are happening. First, I returned to the gym today after a three-month absence, due to injury, and there are so many words on that sign I could have used during these last three months. I needed confidence, patience, understanding, faith and more, but I did have love and motivation from those around

me which pulled me through. I am getting better, my mind and body are healthier now, and my needs are being realigned. I wanted to get better, I wanted to be healthy, and I wanted to stop hurting from my injury but those WANTS didn’t matter because I needed strength, love, patience, and confidence before I could get what I truly wanted. Wants and needs… I see the difference now.

The second thing happening is that tomorrow (as of this writing) is Remembrance Day, a very special day for all of us. I think this poster came to my mind because I could only imagine being a soldier, heading off to war, and wondering what they would have needed at that time. What words would they have taken? What words would they have given to someone else? When they made it back from war, what words would they have needed then?

10. Falling stars aren't actually ____ !

13. The Leonids are so named because they appear to originate in this constellation.

Why the fascination with this sign you ask?

Well, you have to admit, it’s a very special idea that someone implemented. I guess the main reason I fell in love and awe with this poster was because someone took the time to step up and potentially improve twelve anonymous lives around them and then, hopefully, those twelve improved people shared some of that improvement with more people until a snowball effect took over.

So, if you ARE the person who hung this sign, or if you know the person who hung this sign, or if you are one of the three people who took what you needed, come find me and let’s discuss it. It’s a wonderful puzzle that has been floating in my head and my heart for over a year. What took you down Central Avenue that day? What did you think when you saw this sign? And what did you NEED at the time? And I ask you, my readers…. what would you take if you saw this sign today?

What NEED do you need? And if you got it, what would you do with it?

November 13 – 27, 2014

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For much of its history, the United States claimed ownership of the ocean within three miles of its coasts.

That changed in 1988, when the federal government declared that hereafter it would have sovereignty over the ocean as far as 12 miles from land. With that action, American territory increased dramatically.

I invite you to consider a comparable expansion in the coming months, Leo. Seize more space. Seek further privileges. Ask for a bigger piece of everything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Poland’s most

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Our planet’s

most abundant mineral is called bridgmanite.

It’s an amalgam of iron, magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. Until recently, no one had actually seen it because it lies so deep underground it can’t be reached by digging tools. Scientists have only known about it from studying how earthquake waves moved through it. That changed in the last few years, when two mineralogists found bridgmanite in an ancient meteorite. They were able to analyze the nuances of this basic mineral for the first time. I predict a comparable development for you, Taurus.

In the coming months, you will become more familiar with a core part of you that has always been a mystery. The revelations may occur with the help of an influence that resembles a meteorite.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some conspiracy theorists are paranoid that aliens or government agencies use radio waves to try to control their minds. They wear tin foil hats to protect themselves from the evil transmissions. But a recent study shows that this protective head gear has an effect that’s opposite to what it’s supposed to.

In fact, it actually amplifies the intensity of radio frequencies, making it even more likely that mind-control signals would work their dastardly magic. This problem probably does not apply to you, but I suspect you are suffering from a comparable glitch. An approach you’re pursuing or an attitude you’re cultivating is having an impact contrary to what you imagine. Now is an excellent time to make adjustments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I can’t remember the last time you’ve had as much artistic freedom as you have now. It’s as if life has given you a slew of wild cards and X-factors to play with. You don’t have to answer to the past as much as you usually do. You are less beholden to the demands of duty and the constraints of karma. Here’s the best perk: You have been authorized by both the higher powers and lower powers of the cosmos to fall in love. With whom? With

renowned ghost hunter is frustrated.

Having invested a fortune in spectral detection equipment, Piotr Shalkevitz finds that there are fewer and fewer spooks to investigate as the years go by. I’m not qualified to speak about whether or not the whole world is experiencing a decline in the ghost population. But I’m confident that this is exactly what is happening for you Virgos. Recently, the haunted elements of your life have begun to dissipate. And in the next eight months, I expect that you will be freed from most, maybe all, of the ghosts and pesky demons that attached themselves to you once upon a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “To improve is to

change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.” Winston Churchill said that, and now I’m passing it along to you -- with one caveat.

I don’t expect you to be perfect, and never will. To shoot for perfection is risky. It may set up unrealistic expectations that lead to bad mental hygiene. It tempts you to avoid messy experiences, some of which might be essential to your growth. So I will offer a revised version of Churchill’s maxim for your use: If you want to improve, you must change. If you want to keep improving, you must change often. And the coming months will be prime time for you to keep improving and improving and improving.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Sex is like

pizza,” said comedian Mel Brooks. “Even when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.” That’s a generalization, of course. I’m sure you can think of times in your past when mediocre pizza and mediocre sex were just plain mediocre. But work with me on the overarching principle, Scorpio: Some of the finer things in life just can’t be spoiled. They are always at least moderately pleasurable and interesting and lucky — and usually more than just moderately so. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your immediate future will be filled to the brim with these finer things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ancient people knew about Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn because all of those planets are visible to the naked eye. From

A bsolute NonScents ECONOMY

SOCIETY

ENVIRONMENT

the second millennium B.C. until the late 20th century, only three additional planets were found: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

(Pluto was later reclassified as a dwarf planet, however.) Then in 1992, astronomers began to locate planets orbiting other stars. On one spectacular day in February of 2014, NASA announced it had identified 715 new planets.

I foresee a similar uptick for you in the next seven months, Sagittarius. Your rate of discoveries is about to zoom.

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

Evan Lattimer’s 92-year-old father died in 2007, she inherited his large collection of odd relics. It included a cigar smoked

by W. C. Fields, Greta Garbo’s driver’s license, Abraham Lincoln’s shaving mirror, a bearskin coat owned by General George Custer, and Napoleon Bonaparte’s penis.

Many items turned out to be quite valuable to collectors. One eager bidder offered to buy the famous genitalia for $100,000.

I suspect that in the coming months, you will experience events that have some resemblances to this story. For example, the legacy you receive may not be what you expected, but could turn out to be more useful than you imagined.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Here’s

your assignment: Get more organized and purposeful about having fun. Think harder about what makes you feel good, and plan more aggressively to bring those feel-good experiences into your life. In offering these prescriptions, I’m not advocating irresponsible hedonism. Not at all. In my view, you will become a better servant of those you care about by boosting your commitment to pleasure. You will carry out your duties with more aplomb and effectiveness. Raising your joy quotient is actually a formula for becoming a better human being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Appalachian Mountains span 1,500 miles from Newfoundland to Alabama. They are the seventh longest range in the world. And yet they have shrunk over the eons. Their average height is 3,000 feet, but when they were young they were probably twice that high.

What happened? There has been constant erosion caused by rivers, glaciers, wind, tree roots, lichens, and oxidation. Rain and condensation have also played a role because when water freezes, it expands, creating a wedging force. I propose that we make what has happened to the Appalachians a symbol of what’s possible for you in the next eight months, Pisces. Through steady, small actions, you can significantly grind down a mountainous obstacle.

Get Down on your Knees and Pick A commonly asked question out on the vineyard is ‘why do your grapes grow so low?’

The type of vine training and the positioning of your grapes on the trellis depends on your location. Have I mentioned Nova Scotia is cool? Cool climate, yes. This means that we grow the grapes on the lowest trellising, close to the ground, like stockings hung on a low mantelpiece. It’s warmer down there at night, encouraging the grapes to ripen even when the sun goes down. This also allows a large feathery canopy of leaves for photosynthesis, like a great ostrich bottom turned up to the sun with its cracked, spindly trunk-like neck stuck into the ground.

So for the fingerpicking grape pickers it means you pluck upon your knees. Or, as some of the whistling old boys do, you sit on a bucket to save your joints from creaking like graveyard gates.

Trellising is usually constructed of metal or wooden posts with wire supporting the vines upright. Although there are a cajillion different ways of setting up your trellising, the main objective, like a cruise-ship sun lounger, is always to assist in sunbathing.

Beaujolais will often use the ‘Gobelet’ method, attaching the vine to a stake and letting them grow freely; in Germany they will use

the ‘Mosel Arch’, bending the canes into the shape of a heart and giving the appearance of a tree; in Greece they will protect the grapes from harsh winds by growing the fruit inside basket-like vines, cleverly called ‘Basket’ vine training.

We use the most common method, VSP (Verticle Shoot Position), meaning the vines grow skywards, and the fruit grow below the canopy. An ideal balanced structure would be 1/4 fruit and 3/4 leaf, leaving enough space for light and air around each bunch.

As well as keeping the grapes warm, this method saves time on leaf and shoot thinning, as the grapes aren’t hidden in the shadows of the leaves. That’s why they’re low. Not, as some ray-of-sunshine remarked, because the Lucketts of Luckett Vineyards are notoriously short. No. Being so exposed in a sizzlier climate could risk the grapes getting sunburnt, but there’s not much risk of that here. Have I mentioned it’s a cool climate here? It is, yes.

Now we’ve picked the grapes… what happens next? Stay tuned you winos, you.

Acadia University Faculty Contract Update: (as of November 10, 2014)

Question: Where exactly do things stand with the contract talks and where are you in the process?

Response from Stephen Henderson (AUFA spokesperson): We are waiting for conciliation to begin. That is to say, that the sides have not met since late August and will meet again when the provincially-appointed conciliator calls us together. Things may start to move soon.

WHAT’S GROWING AT THE HARRIET IRVING BOTANICAL GARDENS: Forest Biodiversity During campus’ Sustainability Week a dedicated group of Acadia students came out on a rainy Friday to plant trees on our Woodland Trails. Over 150 young Hemlock, Spruce, and Pine trees were planted during the afternoon. The forest behind Acadia is far from a natural piece of Acadian Forest. It contains a variety of invasive species including Glossy Buckthorn and Rosa Multiflora as well as several stands of non-native species.

For the last 5 years, Acadia students, local elementary school groups, and Boy Scouts have been busily planting native trees to help restore the forest, one tree at a time.

Acadia's Woodland Trails are always open to the public. A map of the trail system can be downloaded from our website's 'General Information' section at http://botanicalgardens.acadiau.ca.

ACADIA FIRST CIS MEMBER TO ADOPT KINDUCT PLATFORM Wolfville, NS – Looking for new ways to manage student-athlete training, performance and injury rehabilitation, Acadia University has partnered with Halifax-based Kinduct Technologies to implement Kinduct’s Athlete Management System in its varsity athletics program. Acadia is the first Canadian Interuniversity Sport program to partner with Kinduct, a software firm with a growing list of high-performance clients including several professional sports teams and amateur athletic organizations.

Kinduct’s Athlete Management System software will enable Acadia’s coaches, including its strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists and trainers, to develop, implement and monitor interactive video-based training programs that are fully customizable for each individual athlete and specific sport. The interactive and user-friendly technology will enable athletes to more effectively guide, manage and track their prescribed training and exercise routines in and out of season, their nutritional habits, their rehabilitation and injury prevention protocols, as well as their overall health and wellness goals. This will lead athletes to excel in their lives inside the classroom and in their chosen sport.

“From a strength and conditioning perspective, this tool will allow us to be able to better monitor our athletes’ performance in order to continually improve the service we provide,” said Elliott Richardson, Acadia’s varsity strength and conditioning coach. “It will allow us to give the athletes another tool to help get the most out of them each and every day and provide support for them when they’re away from campus. From a day to day perspective it will allow the programs we design to be more dynamic and specific to the athlete as well as be able to take into account their individual athlete profile.”

Review of ChelseA Rooney’s debut novel “Pedal”

By Charlotte Rogers There are some realities that, for moral convenience, we try to ignore. Chelsea Rooney’s debut novel, Pedal, involves most of them.

Pedal’s narrator, Julia, is a counselling psych student trying to write a thesis on pedophilia. On a cross-Canada bike ride purportedly to find her father, Julia is carried back and forth between her identities as researcher, subject and witness of pedophilia, daughter, friend, and ally of pedophiles. She simultaneously juggles complex family relationships including a mother newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and a sister traumatized by childhood abuse.

Julia’s last-minute travel partner, Smirks, is her best friend’s ex, an attractive athlete with a troubled history of his own. The pair’s journey brings them face-to-face with some of the most extreme (and taboo) circumstances of life: from suicide, abuse and drugs, to witchcraft, unplanned pregnancy and abortion.

What allows Pedal to navigate this sprawling subject matter successfully is its surrender to incoherence. Rooney doesn’t waste time on transitions because, she adeptly shows, real life doesn’t. In fact, meaning throughout the book is assigned, falteringly, by the char-

acters themselves; Rooney is a mere witness. The seeming absence of an imposed narrative means Pedal carries you lightly through its pages.

The novel avoids the usual clichés of a plotline based on a search for identity – those contrived coincidences and indiscreet moral messages.

In their place is a simple and penetrating snapshot of the forward and backward, up and down motions of the human experience.

That human experience, we learn, is not always subject to the bounds that the law, schools and families insist upon. Especially around issues of sex and consent, Rooney drags us out of our places of hiding behind institutionalized convictions. Categories of “victim”, “survivor”, “rapist” and “abuser” are uprooted.

Pedophiles are re-humanized. Child-adult sexual relationships are re-oriented. With each page, the door to thoughtful consideration and conversation is prized open.

Pedal’s greatest achievement is not its writing, which is lucid and graceful, nor its characters, knowable yet irreducible.

Trumping both is this novel’s creation of a space in which to think freely, naturally, about questions that shame and fear too often suppress.

Caffeine for the Whole Family The Path of Stone Soup family brings Mexican roots to Devour! The Food Film Fest A successful Kickstarter campaign means the family behind The Path of Stone Soup will bring its authentic flare all the way from Oaxaca, Mexico to Wolfville, Nova Scotia for the fourth edition of Devour! The Food Film Fest.

Combining cinematic talent with extraordinary culinary creations, Wolfville plays host to the world’s largest festival focused on food and film from November 12-16.

New Orleans filmmaker, Sarah Borealis will attend the festival, along with Don César Gachupin de Díos and his son, Victor Gachupin de Díos for the Canadian Premiere of the film.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have our film selected for screening at Devour! The Food Film Fest,” says Sarah Borealis, visual historian and documentary filmmaker. “This event presents the ideal opportunity for us to include an interactive ‘pop up’ to coincide with the screening of our film.”

Borealis had her first taste of stone soup while she was travelling in Mexican state of Oaxaca in 2010. This unique pre-Hispanic dish was lovingly prepared by the Gachupin family at their roadside diner. Traditionally made with organic herbs and freshwater seafood, the soup is cooked to perfection using red hot stones heated on an open fire. It was this experience that prompted Borealis to further investigate the soup’s origins. With the help from Don César Gachupin de Díos, the restaurant’s owner, and his family, the group began planning an audio-visual pilgrimage that would take them back to the roots of their delicious ancestral soup.

Directed by Arturo Juárez Aguilar, The Path of Stone Soup is a 24-minute documentary filmed entirely in Oaxaca, Mexico; a region known for its diverse representation of indigenous cultures and dialects. The Gachupin Velasco family is captured on film as they share the ritual of preparing stone soup – a symbolic and deeply-rooted tradition passed down for generations.

The Path of Stone Soup has been screened on four continents and in at least eight countries including South Africa, Portugal, India and Dominican Republic. At recent screenings in New Orleans and Mexico City, the filmmakers added a multi-sensory component to the film by organizing small-scale stone soup cooking demonstrations and tastings. The Devour! stone soup pop-up will be an extended version of these tastings, and will serve as a model for extending The Path of Stone Soup to international audiences in many more communities.

The journey from Mexico to Canada is long and financially taxing. Filmmakers decided to

use the Kickstarter program to fundraise the $3,500 necessary to allow Borealis and the two members of the Gachupin family to make the trip. The 20-day campaign exceeded their target by $500. Borealis says the stone soup team has been overwhelmed by the level of community support.

“Our fundraising project is very community oriented,” says Borealis. “The folk tale of ‘stone soup’ exists in many different cultures globally, and bringing locals and visitors together to share a hot meal is always an integral part of our story.”

No matter how much work is necessary to make it to Wolfville, Borealis believes it is a journey worth taking due to the powerful message presented in their film.

“Our film is helping to unite local and global communities around such issues as indigenous cultures, culinary traditions and sustainable development,” says Borealis. “These issues are relevant to every member of the human race, and it has been our pleasure to offer valuable examples from the Chinantec community of Oaxaca to help begin, develop and prolong that dialogue.”

The Path of Stone Soup is slated to make its Devour! screening on Thursday, November 13, as part of the festival’s Food Ways program.

Also screening as part of the program are short films One Minute in Mexico, Smoochie Sauce, Baklava, Rice and Cook It Raw Charleston.

Tickets to Food Ways are $12 and are available now through the Devour! website and Ticketpro. For more information on how to help The Path of Stone Soup fundraising initiatives, please visit their Kickstarter page.

ABOUT DEVOUR! THE FOOD FILM FEST From November 12-16, Wolfville plays host to the fourth edition of Devour! The Food Film Fest, the world’s largest festival focused on food and film. Fill your plate with more than 50 films by some of the most acclaimed directors, chefs from around the world paired with Nova Scotia’s top chefs, 15 industry workshops, five dinners inspired by feature films and over a dozen events to whet the appetite of the most enthusiastic cinevore.

What could I possibly say about JustUs! Coffee Roasters Co-op that has not already been said? For many of us, JustUs! introduced us to the very concept of “Fair Trade” in a way that we could actually access on a regular basis. I decided that the best way to talk about JustUs at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market… was to talk about JustUs at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market!

Rarely does a visit go by at the Market without me topping off a goody with a delicious coffee from the JustUs! counter, made by the cheerfully grinning Frank. Frank seems to love preparing whatever your heart desires and he is every bit as attentive to my 6 year old with her very specific hot chocolate instructions (mostly milk but very chocolate, please) as he is to the grown-ups who toss out phrases like skinny and half-shot and other fancy coffee terms I don’t pretend to comprehend.

Having sampled nearly every kind of coffee, chocolate, and tea sold by JustUs! over the years, I asked Frank what he would choose if he were to try to ascertain the quality of a coffee shop’s offerings. He told me a simple cappuccino was the perfect test: it is the sweet spot of the ideal ratio of steamed milk to espresso. I accepted his suggestion and he was right, it was perfect. Solomon looked askance at the size of my cup because he is convinced larger portion sizes are always preferable. Not so, friend, not so. Frank knows his stuff.

Max chose a pumpkin spice latte, but I almost feel bad about telling you this, because the season of pumpkin spice lattes has drawn to a close. See, this year, JustUs! realized that

RecipE

rather than rely on purchasing the flavouring syrup for said lattes, it would make far more sense for the JustUs! kitchen wizards to concoct their own brew from locally sourced pumpkins. Not being a fan of pumpkin lattes myself, Max tells me it was absolutely scrumptious. Mike concurred, having availed himself of a chai tea with some of the pumpkin spice syrup added (this was a creation devised by him and Frank on the spot).

We all agreed, though, that if you’re looking for the most amazingly perfect hot beverage treat, Solomon’s choice is the way to go. I am convinced that JustUs! makes absolutely the best Chai Tea Latte around. It is sweet without being cloying, spicy with just enough zing to make your tongue happy, and smoothly rich. I am trying to resist my favourite word, but dang it all, it IS delicious! Most days, though, if you spot me at the market, I’ll be sipping on a medium roast medium sized coffee because I’m just that kind of gal. And JustUs! coffee is always hot and ready to go at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market.

JustUs! is available at the market, at many retail outlets, at their own coffee shops, and at the roastery (in Grand Pre). You can also check out their fantastic website at www.

Slow Roasted Pork

Jenny Osburn, Union Street Café, 183 Commercial St., Berwick; 902-538-7787

(makes 10-12 servings, but reheats beautifully) Oh, November, so bitterly cold and blustery. If ever there was a time to leave the oven on for the better part of a day, it is now! This dish is made with pork shoulder roast, an inexpensive and incredibly flavourful cut that is best cooked slowly until tender.

At the restaurant we've been serving it all autumn with garlicky mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. Make sure your roast has a nice cap of fat, and whatever you do, do not trim it off!

Ingredients: 1 – 5lb boneless Pork Shoulder Roast (easily obtained from a local butcher but you might want to call ahead!)

6 cloves Garlic ½ bunch Parsley 2 tablespoons fresh Rosemary, or 2 teaspoons dried Rosemary 1 tablespoon fresh Thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried Thyme maybe a little Sage 2 teaspoons Salt ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Directions: Cut the strings if your roast has been tied and place the pork in a roasting pan. On a large cutting board, mince the garlic. Leaving the garlic on the board, finely chop the parsley,

rosemary, thyme and optional sage.

Bring the garlic and herbs together in a pile, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and chop until very fine, almost a paste (you can also do this in the food processor).

If you can, stuff some of this mixture inside the roast (sometimes your roast has been rolled and will easily open, or you can cut a large slit through the roast from either end).

Rub the remaining mixture all over the pork, making sure the roast ends up with the fat on top. At this point, your roast can wait in the fridge for a day or you can cook it right away.

Place it in a 300º oven and roast for 3-4 hours, until internal temperature is at least 185º. Let rest for 30 minutes before carving into thick slices.

Market Team Profile:

Jennifer Josey

What is your favourite part of working at the Market? My favourite part would have to be all of the wonderful people, including the volunteers, vendors, and customers too! They all create a very warm and wonderful atmosphere. It provides me with a great escape from the chaos of school.

What is the most important thing that the Market achieves from your perspective? In my perspective, the most important thing that

Sat November 22, 9am–10:30am Locavore Tasting Tour

the Market achieves is connecting the people of Wolfville back to their community through local food practices and by providing a great place for people to gather and enjoy each other’s company.

These Farmers’ Market tours are for people who want to live the good life right here in their own back yard. You’ll learn where to get the best seasonal ingredients and get to know who’s who in the local food scene. If you want the real dirt on living large in Wolfville come out and dig in! Each guided tour lasts 1.5hrs, includes a picnic and a cloth shopping bag.

What are some of your other interests and passions?

I would have to say my greatest passion is food. I believe that supporting the local food movement and buying from small farmers and entrepreneurs is one of the most important things a person can do to help their community grow and prosper.

Tue November 25, 6pm–8pm Sushi Rolling Party “Roll Your Own”

What is your role with the Market Team? And, please describe what you do. I volunteer at the Info Booth and help out with special events too! I greet everyone with a welcoming “hello” and a friendly smile, and I am there to help if anyone has any questions.

Fancify your food! Watch cultures collide as you transform local fare into succulent little sushi rolls. Includes professional instruction to introductory veggie rolls, hands-on learning, your own sushi roller, and a delicious meal around a big communal table.

Facilitator: Guest Chef Ross Patterson owns The Noodle Guy fresh pasta shop in Port Williams and also dishes up delicious soba noodles at the weekly Farmers’ Market.

Before he became a professional pasta maker he used to teach sushi making. He’s an expert at transforming food into tiny tasty morsels.

AUTUMN MARKET

What is your Business? I make big beautiful cutting boards, charcuterie platters, plates, knife holders, garlic smash boards, onion boards and more, all out of Canadian White Ash. I use pieces of wood that flooring companies reject and use as much as possible for my products.

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

of my end-grain work. End-grain is difficult to do which is why most woodworkers avoid it like the plague. I work with the natural grains and colours of ash to make my patterns. I mirror image the grains and mix and match for effect, the result... useable art. The beauty of using end-grain cutting boards is that you don’t cut the wood so you don’t see the cut-marks. You also save your knives from dulling. End-grain cutting boards are always the cutting boards of choice for chefs for this very reason.

What inspired you to start your business? My husband is a furniture and cabinet maker and was throwing perfectly good wood out because it wasn’t suitable for whatever project he was working on at the time. I asked him to teach me how to make something out of the left over wood. He taught me how to make simple long-grain cutting boards. I later learned how to make end-grain and worked on my techniques for about a year before I could sell the end-grain products.

What do you love best about coming to Market? I absolutely love the interaction I have with the people who walk through the market doors. I enjoy talking about my products and explaining why I’m so passionate about end-grain. I love the reaction I get when I explain that I taught my husband how to make end-grain... :-) and I also just love to gab with anyone who comes my way.

The WHO’S WHO:

Show Me Your Ink

Michelle Rouleau: Clothed for Business

BY DONNA HOLMES

Tattoo Artist: Derek Hill, Oceanic Art Custom Tattooing, Dartmouth; oceanicart.ca Tattooee: Greg Sampson Greg Sampson got this ink done at Oceanic Art in Dartmouth a few years ago on Canada Day. The tattoo is a memorial to Greg’s friend Joel. Joel was the world’s biggest Red Hot Chili Peppers fan and an Ancient Roman Studies student. The back of Greg’s left shoulder reads “Utinam Cicatricem Vidisses”. The Latin translated into English roughly means “scar tissue that I wish you saw”.

Black & White Photo Challenge “The B&W challenge seemed to have just come out of the ‘FaceBook-o-sphere’, so to speak. No one seems to know who started it, but it has brought back an art that one can have a lot of fun with, and it shows the image in a completely different way than colour.” – Mark Davidson #1 Photo of Blomidon - Blomidon earlier this summer...This stretch of road always catches my eye, and is different every time I travel out here. #2 Wedding Laughs Among Strangers - This photograph was taken outside Paddy's in Wolfville, after a hike around Blomidon. We were happy to have warm food, and the ambiance was complete when a wedding party joined the Pub to continue their festivities. This captures a moment in time, where one of the Hikers and a groomsman (who do not know each other), share a good laugh while sitting outside. Sometimes a good laugh does the body and the soul good, forming a connection between folks that otherwise would never have been. #3 The Church – The Baptist Church in Wolfville.

Bright skies and an amazing array of cloud seems to emanate from the Steeple of this church today. Taken Nov. 10th, 2014 “I was challenged by Chris Sheppard. With the absence of color, working in black and white you rely on contrast and textures.” - Wayne Walker #4 The bridge at Miner’s Marsh in Kentville. #5 The ropes shot at Parkers Cove.

I know very little about fashion.

Granted, I always look well put together (bright colors galore!) but I really don’t know what’s new and hip in the fashion world. I feel like I know what DOESN’T look trendy these days (fanny packs, platform shoes, skorts, etc.) or maybe I am incorrect because I just saw a girl walk down the street today sporting high-waisted acid wash jeans and a tie-dyed t-shirt and she seemed pretty confident in her fashion sense. I don’t tend to criticize because I mostly wear hoodies, converse shoes, jeans, and t-shirts suited for a teenager. I’m not sure I fit into the tip top world of looking stylish. But I know this lady does!

Last week I emceed the “Kitchen & Couture Fall Fashion Reveal 2014” (Kitchen from Absolutely Fabulous and Fashions from Anatolia) and I can definitely make the statement that Michelle Rouleau, owner of Anatolia, knows all about fashion! She knows the how-to-wear-its, the what-to-wear-its, and the oh-goodness-gracious-stop-wearing-its!

She makes me wish I wore ladies fashions all year instead of just for the Fezziwig Show.

Ladies, Gents, and Fashion-Conscious: Michelle Rouleau!

Michelle lives in Cambridge with her husband, daughter, son, and doggie Marci. She has lived in the Valley since she was four years old. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Mount Saint Vincent and also went to the former Agricultural College in Truro.

Michelle is a horticulturalist by trade and worked in that field for many years. Those are the basics, but I know you’re all interested in the fashionable side of this lovely woman.

‘Anatolia: Home and Fashion’ is located at 8881 Commercial Street, in New Minas (the business used to be called ‘The Jelly Cupboard’ and they just can’t shake that name!).

Michelle bought the business just 20 months ago and now the space is hers and she loves it. It’s hard to believe it’s been more than 20 years since the previous owner started the business - I remember my teenage days of hitting the Cobblestone Café for a treat while my mother shopped “upstairs”.

“It was over a very informal conversation that the idea of my purchasing the business came about!” explains Michelle. “I have always loved decor and fashion, and working here is a dream come true. I really try to bring in items that you can’t get everywhere; I want to be known as the store you can always go to and find something great.” Anatolia carries brands such as Hunters, Toms, Brighton, Thymes, Sophie Conran, Miz Mooz, Fossil, Denby, Hatley, C'est Moi, and many many more! I know first hand that Michelle carries unique items because during my emceeing gig, I could barely pronounce the brand names of the products, let alone understand what some of the fashion items were. Jeggings? Toms? Tunics? It was like a

foreign language but once I understood, it was eye opening to see all these models, with different body types and age ranges, looking positively stunning in the clothes Michelle put them in.

She says “I love following trends but am practical too.

Everyone needs classic pieces in both decor and fashion.

I am also very aware that people have budgets and not everyone can afford what they would like to have so I have things for all budgets, I have lots of really inexpensive items… I also realize that people come in all shapes and sizes and I try to always have a selection for all body types. I believe that providing topnotch customer service is important because you can’t go many places anymore and find friendly courteous and knowledgeable sales staff and that’s so important!” I encourage you all to pop in to Anatolia and see what’s new and exciting in ladies fashions. Michelle can offer advice on how to properly wear her Infinity Scarves, how to select the right Leggings for your body type, and what jewelry and colour schemes best suit you. With the holidays coming up, get a list together for your partner!

When Michelle is not dressing the female population of the Valley, she is driving her kids to all their “stuff” or spending fun times with her family. She loves everything about this area and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. “It’s funny (though) because there is this whole movement of people who buy local and support local but I find there is also a lot of people with the mindset that they have to go to the city to get something great when in fact there are so many cool places right here!”

I agree Michelle. If you really look, it’s right in front of you! Michelle, like other business owners, wants her business to thrive and she hopes she can continue to bring beautiful and unique products into peoples lives for another 20 years! And of course, she hopes to have more fashion shows and already has a permanently pre-booked emcee to help her! You can visit Michelle at Anatolia in New Minas or find the shop on Facebook where she posts specials, sales, and pictures of all the interesting products she carries. Call 902-681-1499 or email anatolialiving@gmail.com with questions. Tell them MIKE sent you in because he doesn’t know what’s in style… but Michelle does!

Interview with Michael Howell Continued from page 2 ...

It’s happening at a time when, traditionally, it’s not be as busy as other months. Was that taken into consideration?

When I started this thing I was still a restaurateur around the corner and it was normally pretty empty in November - as were many other businesses - in that post-harvest/ pre-Christmas season. So, it seemed like a really good opportunity to do something that might attract visitation and spending and interest in our area in a traditionally slow time of year. And that’s how we got buy-in from organizations like the NS Tourism Agency, ACOA, and the municipality because we are filling a void.

How can the community get involved?

We have a great and healthy volunteer group of over 60 people from both the community at large, and students from Acadia and

FAMILY FUN IN THE VALLEY: N is for Nutcracker

C Message from Literacy Nova Scotia

W

ords, numbers and symbols are the building blocks that create our world.

Literacy happens when we pick up a can of tuna off a grocery store shelf or a prescription at the drug store. It happens when we try to make sense of a bus schedule or use a banking machine. Literacy happens when we fill out a passport application or use a cell phone. Every aspect of our daily lives can be connected back to literacy.

More than 50 per cent of Nova Scotians do not have the literacy and essential skills required to work and thrive in our knowledge-based and increasingly tech-driven society. As our population ages, this per-

Scott Brison, M.P.

542-4010 101A - 24 Harbourside Drive, ʻRailtownʼ kings.hants@ns.sympatico.ca | www.brison.ca

centage will increase. 88 per cent of seniors in Canada have difficulty using the everyday health information that is routinely available in health care facilities, grocery stores, retail outlets, through the media, and in their communities.

By not giving literacy the attention it deserves in our communities, we make the world a more difficult place for all of us to live and work. When we create product labels that are difficult to read, charts that are hard to understand or forms that are challenging to fill out, we create unnecessary challenges and frustration for countless people of every age, background and education level.

When cuts are made to funding for literacy programs, it creates limits to literacy or training programs and reduces our ability to create the skilled workforce to grow our economy. Underfunded community-based adult learning organizations rely heavily on the supports provided by Literacy Nova Scotia such as grants, direct learner support, professional development, and the invaluable provision of information and support for the development and growth of their own organizations.

But we can make a difference. When we increase literacy, we create jobs, improve health, reduce crime, build stronger families

and make safer communities. Improving your literacy helps you be a smarter shopper, a safer driver, a better parent and a happier person.

When we choose to make literacy a priority in our community, good things happen. No one solution or program or any agency or organization can do this alone. Everyone has a role to play. It’s time to begin a new conversation about literacy, essential skills and lifelong learning opportunities.

We encourage you to bring literacy to the forefront of whatever you do. Become a champion of literacy, and share the message that knowledge is power, and that literacy is the door to opportunity. Write to your Member of Parliament, local Senator and MLA and tell them you support literacy and essential skills training. Volunteer with literacy programs in your community. By embedding literacy in everything we do, the quality of every outcome improves dramatically.

Literacy Nova Scotia is a non-profit organization that works to ensure all Nova Scotians have equal access to quality literacy, essential skills, and lifelong learning opportunities. For more information, visit www. literacyns.ca. For our local literacy network contact the Valley Community Learning Association www.vcla.ca

hristmas is in the air and will be here before we know it! There are many annual traditions for the holiday season. One of them is the Nutcracker! If you have never delved into the world of the Nutcracker, then make this the year!

1. Research nutcrackers. Why is it a symbol of Christmas? Where did it originate? What does it mean? Research Tchaikovsky and the inspiration for his suite. Learn about the ballet. This is a great project for older kids!

2. Find a book. Visit the library and sign out the story of the Nutcracker.

3. Listen to the music. Find it at the library or order it on line – but be sure to listen to the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky. See if you can tell what is happening in the story based on the music.

4. Watch a movie. There are great renditions including, believe it or not, Barbie and the Nutcracker!

5. Go to a performance. Every year Cadance Academy puts on a ballet performance of the Nutcracker at Festival Theatre. This year's show will be held on Saturday, December 6 at 7pm and Sunday, December 7 at 2pm. Info: info@ cadanceacademy.ca or 902-6793616. Keep watching Valley Family Fun for your chance to win tickets to the performance.

Bring the nutcracker alive this holiday season!

Wolfville Toastmasters Club Suzanne Balcom of Wolfville brings home the International District 45 trophy!

Suzanne Balcom went looking for a place to have fun, grow and develop herself into a world class speaker while remaining close to home, family and work. After just one year, she is well on her way. Suzanne joined the Wolfville Toastmasters Club as a charter member in October 2013 and a mere year later, she won the International District 45 Humourous Speech Competition - no small feat. Since the International District 45 fall convention was held in Charlottetown, PEI, several Wolfville club members had the privilege to be in attendance for Suzanne’s speech and her well-deserved win.

“Never Look a Wild Animal in the Eye” was the speech title and the story is as wild as the animal the story is about. Suzanne experimented with her humour and brought fresh laughs to each level of competition. Since September, Suzanne competed at the Wolfville Club level; Area 21 interclub level with 4 clubs competing; Division D (1/2 of Nova Scotia) with winners from 5 areas competing; and International District 45 (which includes NS, NB, PEI, MA, NH & VT) with winners from 7 divisions competing.

Toastmasters is a non-profit international organization with 300,000 members worldwide and is about people helping people learn to speak and lead. Suzanne would like to share her humour and the learning opportunity that has helped her grow so much over the past year.

To this end, she wishes to extend an invitation to students and residents of Wolfville and the surrounding area.

Deep Roots 2014 – Amazing!

What a spectacular Deep Roots weekend we had this year! The weather was fantastic, and the streets were full of new and familiar faces. Our sales for the festival passes were the highest to date, folks were pleased about the diversity of musicians on stage, and the Fresh Beats Parade reported the largest attendance ever! We also raised over $1000 for the Wolfville Food Bank at Sunday’s Rise up Singing Show.

We would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all of our volunteers who brought their talents, creativity, cooperation, and commitment to having a lot of fun, to the 2014 Deep Roots Music Festival – they were shining! Also, we are pleased to announce that we won Music Nova Scotia “Community Presenter of the Year”!

Lisa Hammett Vaughan was also nominated for a Volunteer of the Year Award and the Union Street Café was nominated for Venue of the Year. Woot!

Matt the Music Man

Matt the Music Man, is more than your typical man from Nova Scotia with a guitar. He's also quite possibly the only children's performer around with a pirate hat and a platypus for a sidekick. Matt has just completed his debut children's album of original songs, "Songs for Kids Age 1 to 101". The humorous nature of songs such as "Fat Cat", "The Pirates from YARmouth", and "Pat the Platypus" have been hits with children and adults alike. The album also features local talents such as Andy & Ariana, Heather Kelday, Andy Kavanagh, and children singers. The result is a diverse collection of folk and rock songs!Matt will be hosting his CD release show at the Louis Millet Centre in New Minas on November 23. Get ready to have fun, sing along and get involved in the music! Matt will also be headlining at "Night Kitchen" on December 6th. For more information please visit www.mattmusic.ca.
