Don Amero’s Heart On My Sleeve Tour

I

n September 2007, when Don Amero walked off his day-job as a hardwood flooring installer to pursue music fulltime, you might say he found his calling.

Since then, he has headlined concerts, presented at festivals, performed with the symphony, played national television, and toured coast-to-coast.

Don is often asked to deliver workshops at schools, conferences and gatherings. His story inspires, and his message is one of encouragement, positivity and beauty. He entertains audiences of all ages, and continues to impress wherever he goes.

Music Awards), Male Artist of the Year (2009 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards) – and 21 more nominations.

Considered one of the hardest working independent musicians in showbiz today, Don’s first three albums (Change Your Life, Deepening, The Long Way Home) have generated five national and international awards – Best Country Song (2012 Indian Summer Music Awards), Aboriginal Recording of the Year (2011 Western Canadian Music Awards), Best Folk Recording (2011 Native American Music Awards), Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year (2009 Canadian Folk

This fall, Don is releasing his fourth album, Heart On My Sleeve. He’ll be touring Canada leading up to a CD release event on October 24 that will be streamed live on APTN.ca. His fall tour includes a stop at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville on September 24. A portion of proceeds from the tour will go to Canadianfeedthechildren.ca, to help children right here in our own country.

A role model for today’s youth,

This is one of 1500 copies!

Grateful for his success so far and eager to see what the future brings, Don’s decision to make music is proving to be a good one. And even though you could say it’s been a long road for Don Amero, that’s okay. Because he knows for certain he’s on the right one.

About our banner R

- On the topic of ‘legitimate rape”…

swer was “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Qualifying rape as ‘legitimate’ means there is rape that is ‘not legitimate’. This means that there are women and men in incredibly physically and mentally vulnerable positions after an assault questioning whether or not to take action about it.

Qualifying “legitimate rape” revictimizes rape and sexual assault survivors by denying them the power to identify what happened, and begin to move forward.

Rape is an uncomfortable topic, but it is one that society needs to discuss. A good place to start is the understanding that “rape is rape” (President Obama’s response to Akin). The next important step is to teach young adults, and adults alike, the concept of Enthusiastic Consent – that both partners are responsible to give AND receive a clearly communicated, freely given, enthusiastic “YES!” before sexual relations begin and while they are taking place.

If you’ve got questions, concerns or are looking for more information, here's the contact info for the Sexual Assault Resource Centre on campus: http://counsel.acadiau.ca/Sexual_ Assault.html and one in Halifax: Avalon Sexual Assault Centre www.avaloncentre.ca Avalon provides individual counselling, support and therapy groups, court support, and Advocacy/Support/Referral services.

CentreStage Theatre Presents:

said the spider to the spy

S

aid the Spider to the Spy, a fast-paced, witty comedy by Fred Carmichael, centres around Augusta Waycross, a librarian leading a mundane life in 1987. When Gussie borrows her friend’s Florida beach house, she decides to borrow the glamorous romance-writer's identity as well.

A mysterious man brings a suspicious package in from the beach.

In scene after hilarious scene, we meet an intriguing variety of characters, thrown into uproarious situations by a plot that builds and twists, culminating in surprising revelations: Who are these people? Whose side are they on? And why are they pretending to be someone else? Join Augusta on her hysterical voyage of self – and other- discovery.

The show is appropriate for those 14 and older.

Said the Spider to the Spy, directed by Geoff Ball, stars Carole Ball, Rebecca Crouse, Bob Cook, Tim Hawkins, Sharon Burnett, Emily Decker, Michael Jorgensen, Janet Westhaver and Robert Racine.

Said the Spider to the Spy opens on Friday September 14th and continues playing on Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm until October 20th. There will be a Sunday 2pm matinee on October 14th and a special matinee performance on September 30th, followed by a pork barbecue.

Call 678-8040 for reservations.

ape is non-consensual sex or sexual activities. Rape is also a popular topic of conversation this summer, so much so that this has been called "the summer of rape" after numerous jokes and statements about it have been made by public figures. Of recent note is Republican senate nominee Todd Akin, who, like many Republicans, takes a pro-life (aka anti-choice) position on a woman’s right to make choices about her reproductive health.

In response to a question about exceptions (for permissible abortions) in cases of rape, Akin’s an-

T

his fall, Acadia continues to go ‘Back to the Tap’. Dedicated tap water enthusiasts, both students and admin alike, have been working this summer to improve access to clean, free, public water on campus.

Funds were secured through two sources: the nation-wide win in the Bay of Fundy ‘Sprout a Seven’ contest last September, and through the Wellness Fund Initiative, fed by student fees paid to the Acadia Students’ Union last year for projects that benefit the mental and physical well-being of the campus community.

The Fountain Upgrade Project has 3 phases: improving current fountains, installing new fountains and increasing awareness. As of last week, a new fountain, complete with water bottle refill spout, has been installed on the main floor of the Vaughan Memorial Library. Additionally, new eye-catching posters (like above) are being mounted above existing fountains – keep an eye out for them. As the semester progresses, other fountains across campus will be improved for flow, taste, appearance and temperature, as well as being retrofitted with water bottle refill spouts for water lovers on the go!

Thank you to all who have helped support this project along the way, and for supporting Acadia’s efforts to reduce the demand for bottled water and provide access to free, clean water for everyone. William Roberts, wrr.acadia@gmail.com

emember Kony 2012 and the controversy around that campaign? Well, whether or not you agreed with their methods, whether or not you felt it was effective advocacy, you can hardly deny that it was an interesting campaign that stirred a lot of emotions. And, now they are at it again – Invisible Children has a new campaign to raise awareness about LRA violence and the waraffected communities in East and Central Africa. You can learn more about this organization and their work at: invisiblechildren. com/critiques. And even better, you can talk to people directly involved in the campaign as they are coming to visit Wolfville! On Thursday, September 20th, at 7pm in Denton Hall on campus representatives from Invisible Children will be here to screen and host a discussion of their new campaign, what they are doing, and what they hope to achieve. So, take the opportunity to come hear the message directly from the source! Whether you are a critic or a supporter, we want you to participate! ~ Edith Callaghan, edith.callaghan@acadiau.ca

n support of the Deep Roots Music Cooperative, join Gary Ness & the Mud Creek Boys for an evening aboard the Dominion Atlantic Railway! Revisit a bygone era through pictures and tales that cover more than a century of DAR history, with accompanying railroadin’ songs recalling the nostalgia and romance of the heyday of the iron horse.

Gary is a local train historian and an accomplished storyteller, with a wealth of tales about trains here in the Annapolis Valley. He’ll show projections from his extensive photographic collections, which are also featured in his two published volumes on the Canadian Pacific’s Dominion Atlantic Railway.

The Mud Creek boys are an acoustic trio, playing a mix of old time country, bluegrass, blues and swing … those ‘old songs that everybody remembers but nobody plays anymore’.

Members are J. P. Huang – guitar and mandolin, Ian Spooner – banjo and guitar, and Peter Williams – banjo, bass and guitar.

Deep Roots is thrilled that Gary, J.P., Ian and Peter are willing to do the Train Show to help with our fund-raising. This show was performed once before, in November 2011, and the packed house obviously loved it.

After the show, you are invited to join us in the lobby at the Whittle to take a closer look at fascinating train paraphernalia, chat with Gary and the Mud Creek Boys, enjoy wine and cheese (included in ticket price), and maybe even share your own memories and stories of the train.

Tickets for the September 27th Pre-Festival Fundraiser ‘the train show,’ are now available online through Ticket Pro for $20, including taxes. This show was a sell out when performed in November 2011 so you will want to get your tickets early…either online or at the Box of Delights Bookshop.

Goldenrod the good Melanie Priesnitz, Conservation Horticulturist, Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens One of my favorite sights in the garden this time of year is the bright yellow of goldenrod against a blue sky. If you stop for a moment and watch a patch of goldenrod you’ll see hundreds of tiny native bees happily working away. The late season blooms of goldenrod provide an important food source for bees.

There are over a hundred species of goldenrod across North America, 16 of which are native to Nova Scotia. Some of the most common are: Canada goldenrod, Rough goldenrod and Bog goldenrod. Some of the more rare species are so infrequently seen here in Nova Scotia that we don’t even have common names for them including: Solidago multiradiata and Solidago simplex.

The scientific name Solidago comes from the latin solido meaning to make whole, which refers to the plant’s healing properties. Goldenrod has long been used to cure a wide variety of ailments due to its antiinflammatory, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. It is said to be a strong immune system booster and cure for ailments such as yeast, laryngitis, insect stings, allergies and bladder infections.

Ragweed doesn’t have a showy flower so it tends to get overlooked while quietly packing a powerful punch of pollen. One ragweed plant can produce more than a billion grains of pollen each season. Ragweed is wind-pollinated, meaning that its airborne pollen is tiny and easily inhaled. In contrast, goldenrods are insect-pollinated and have heavy, sticky pollen that is not carried by the wind and therefore not a concern for sufferers of seasonal allergies.

The Grapevine

Mike Uncorked They’re HERE!!!!!!!!!

I just returned from a five day mini-vacation to Montreal. It was a wonderful experience... lots of driving and eating and not enough sleeping but memories were made. When I left Wolfville the streets were semi-busy, parking lots were about half full, the stores were semi-crowded, and the sidewalks were spacious. When I returned, the streets were lined with cars, the parking lots were jammed, the stores were overflowing and the sidewalks were chaotic; this is what happens when you go away over Labour Day weekend.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last week or so, you’ve noticed that students have returned! I had a few people approach me this past week saying “remember that article you wrote last year welcoming students back to town, well... you should write another one, it was so friendly”.

Well, I pulled that article from the Uncorked vault and they were right, it was friendly but it was also filled with concern.

Wolfville can be overwhelming!

Even for someone like me who has lived here for a decade, there are so many wonderful things about this town that I emjoy (concerts, plays, events etc) that as residents we have to help the students find. Many students are here for four years or more and it’s up to us to show them that there’s more to Wolfville than the Anvil on a Friday night. We have a library, coffee shops (with Open Mics), and the Farmers' Market.

We have specialty shops like Boso, Herbin’s, Wild Lily, Botanique, Box of Delights, and the Aveda Spa and any student who’s sick

of cafeteria food can be pointed to many of Wolfville’s nice restaurants like the Naked Crepe, the Privet House, Pete’s, Paddy’s, or the Rolled Oat for good food and great atmosphere.

I remember helping some students find places to eat and things to do last year and I was taken back a bit because I felt out of the loop in many ways trying to point directions and fumble over what I liked and didn’t like. My advice is, have some suggestions ready if a student asks you for advice. Make them feel welcome; most of them are guests not only to Wolfville, but to Canada. I mentioned last year to be patient and courteous; line ups may be longer, traffic may move more slowly, the gym and walking trails will be a bit tighter but embrace it!

And for the students; imagine Wolfville is a giant boarding house and you are the tenant.

There are rules and common courtesies that you need to follow as a guest in the town. I was very proud of the town for mailing out pamphlets regarding drinking bylaws and fines... bravo! I hope everyone reads them... pretty hefty fine for a few sips of beer if you’re under age or forget your I.D. isn’t it? There are also noise bylaws, parking regulations, and lots of do’s and don’ts about litter that require attention. So far, things have been looking clean and quiet so let’s keep it that way.

So, welcome students new and returning, enjoy your studies and enjoy Wolfville. Good Luck to you all! ~Mike Butler

Rob Brezsny's

ARiEs (march 21-april 19): You will never be able to actually gaze upon your own face. You may of course see a reasonable likeness of it in mirrors, photos, and videos.

But the real thing will always be forever visible to everyone else, but not you. I think that's an apt symbol for how hard it is to get a totally objective view of your own soul. No matter how sincere you may be in your efforts to see yourself clearly, there will always be fuzziness, misapprehensions, and ignorance. Having said that, though, I want you to know that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to see yourself better than ever before.

TAURUs (april 20-may 20): I've got four related pieces of advice for you, Taurus: 1. The most reliable way for you to beat the system is to build your own more interesting system. 2. The most likely way to beat your competitors is not to fight them, but rather to ignore them and compete only against yourself. 3.

To escape the numbing effects of an outworn tradition, you could create a fresh tradition that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning. 4. If you have a problem that is not only impossible to solve but also boring, find yourself a fascinating new problem that will render the old problem irrelevant. gEMini (may 21-June 20): "Dear Doctor of Love: My heart is itchy. I'm totally serious. I'm not talking about some phantom tingle on the skin of my chest.

What I mean is that the prickling sensation originates in the throbbing organ inside of me. Is this even possible? Have you heard of such a crazy thing? Could it be some astrological phenomenon?

What should I do? - Itchy-Hearted Gemini." Dear Gemini: I suspect that it's not just you, but many Geminis, who are experiencing symptoms like yours. From what I can tell, you have a lot of trapped feelings in your heart that need to be identified, liberated, and dealt with. cAncER (June 21-July 22): If you make a conscious decision to combine plaids with stripes or checks with floral patterns or reddish-purples with greenishoranges, I will wholeheartedly

The Grapevine

For the week of August 30th approve. If, on the other hand, you absent-mindedly create combinations like that, doing so because you're oblivious or lazy, I will soundly disapprove. The same holds true about any hodgepodge or hybrid or mishmash you generate, Cancerian: It'll receive cosmic blessings if you do it with flair and purpose, but not if it's the result of being inattentive and careless.

lEo (July 23-aug. 22): Should

we boycott the writing of Edgar Allan Poe because he married his 13-year-old cousin when he was 26? Should anti-drug crusaders stop using their iPhones when they find out that Steve Jobs said that "doing LSD was one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life"?

Should we stop praising the work that Martin Luther King Jr. did to advance civil rights because he engaged in extramarital affairs?

Those are the kinds of questions I suspect you'll have to deal with in the coming days, Leo. I encourage you to avoid having knee-jerk reactions.

VIRGO (aug. 23-Sept. 22): Arthur Turner, a Virgo reader from Austin, is upset with my recent horoscopes. In his email, he wrote the following: "You're making me mad with your predictions of non-stop positivity, Brezsny. I need more dirt and grit and muck. I've got to have some misery and decay to motivate me.

So just please shut up with your excess projections of good times.

They're bringing me down." Here's my response to him and to any other Virgo who feels like him: I'm afraid you're scheduled to endure even more encounters with cosmic benevolence in the coming week.

If these blessings feel oppressive, try to change your attitude about them. libRA (Sept. 23-oct. 22): The humorous science journal Annals of Improbable Research published a paper entitled "The Effects of Peanut Butter on the Rotation of the Earth." Signed by 198 Ph.D. physicists, it came to this conclusion: "So far as we can determine, peanut butter has no effect on the rotation of the earth." If possible, Libra, I suggest you summon a comparable amount of high-powered expertise for your own purposes. But please

the Stella Rose B & B

make sure that those purposes are weightier than the question of peanut butter's role on our planet's movements. Round up the best help you can, yes; call on all the favors you're owed and be aggressive in seeking out brilliant support; but only for a truly important cause.

scoRPio (oct. 23-nov. 21): September 16 is the first day of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. So begins ten days of repentance. Whether or not you're Jewish, Scorpio, you are entering an astrological phase when taking stock of yourself would be a brilliant move. That's why I invite you to try the following self-inventory, borrowed from the Jewish organization Chadeish Yameinu. 1. What would you like to leave behind from the past 12 months? 2. What has prevented you from living up to your highest standards and being your very best self? 3. What would you love to bring with you into the next 12 months? 4. Who served as a teacher for you in the past year?

5. Were you a teacher for anyone?

6. Is there anyone you need to forgive? 7. How will you go about forgiving? sAgiTTARiUs (nov. 22-dec.

21): If I'm accurately interpreting the astrological omens, the coming months will be a soulful feast in which every day will bring you a shimmering revelation about the nature of your soul's code and how best to activate it.

Reasons for grateful amazement will flow so freely that you may come to feel that miracles are routine and naturally-occurring phenomena. And get this: In your dreams, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty will get married, win the lottery, and devote their fortune to fostering your spiritual education until you are irrevocably enlightened. (I confess there's a slight chance I'm misinterpreting the signs, and everything I described will be true for only a week or so, not months.)

to manipulate people into doing things that aren't in alignment with their own desires. For another, I faithfully report on my understanding of the tides of fate, and refuse to just make stuff up. I urge you to have that kind of integrity, Capricorn. I suspect you may soon be invited or coaxed to engage in what amounts to some tainted behavior. Don't do it. Make an extra effort to be incorruptible.

AQUARiUs (Jan. 20-feb. 18): "The far away, the very far, the farthest, I have found only in my own blood," said poet Antonio Porchia. Let's make that thought your keynote, Aquarius. Your assignment will be to search for what's most exotic and unknown, but only in the privacy of your own heart, not out in the great wide world. For now at least, the inner realm is the location of the laboratory where the most useful experiments will unfold.

Borrowing from novelist Carole Maso, I leave you with this: "Make love to the remoteness in yourself."

PiscEs (feb. 19-march 20): It

would be an excellent time for you to elope, even if you do so with the person to whom you're already mated. You might also consider the possibility of wearing a wedding dress everywhere you wander, even if there is no marriage ceremony in your immediate future, and even if you're a man. And if neither of those ideas appeals to you, please at least do something that will symbolize your intention to focus on intimacy with an intensified sense of purpose. Fling rice at yourself. Seek out someone who'll give you lessons in how to listen like an empathetic genius.

Compose and recite vows in which you pledge to become an utterly irresistible and reliable ally.

cAPRicoRn (dec. 22-Jan. 19): A reader named Marissa begged me to insert a secret message into the Capricorn horoscope. She wanted me to influence Jergen, a guy she has a crush on, to open up his eyes and see how great she is. I told her I wouldn't do it.

Why? For one thing, I never try 611 Main St. • Wolfville's newest 4-1/2 star B&B

“Wolfville’s Where It’s At”

The lighthouse was taken down in the early Seventies. It was at the entrance to the Wolfville harbour where they used to load the Kipawo Ferry.

Peter Bromley (now in Vancouver) responded to a few Grapevine questions: Why was it taken? Cuz, well, Woofle was where it was at.

What was the vibe/atmosphere in town like during this time?

Charles Colville, son of Alex, described Wolfville and the Annapolis Valley in the late sixties as "Nirvana". That sums it up pretty good.

Describe, in general terms, the type of people that are in the photo? Were they young and ambitious? Locals? Students?

Movers & Shakers?

Musicians? All of the above, except the words meant different things back then.

“Wolfville’s Where It’s At” was a slogan back in the late Sixties and it stuck for some time. One could easily argue that it’s still the case.

Although recollections are somewhat fuzzy, the late Dick Gifford apparently took the photo in 1968 but Peter Bromley designed the poster. David E. Sheppard produced and marketed the creation (through Kentville Publishing Company) and he remembers doing a radio interview at the time because the town council was terrified that hundreds of hippies were going to besiege Wolfville. They were NOT amused that the Police Chief (Alex Kendricks) and one of the council members were in the photo!

Kentville Gravely Ghost Walks!

Kentville’s Gravely Ghost Walks are a new production created

by CentreStage Theatre and performed by ValleyGhostWalks. com. There are plenty of incredible people who have helped to form the backbone of this dynamic town. Let Jerome the GraveKeeper and his ghostly friends inform and entertain throughout this creatively spooky history lesson.

There are two historical productions to choose from.

The first happens around the downtown area (starting on the steps of the Cornwallis Inn) and the other takes place in the Oak Grove Cemetery (across from the Research Station). The Downtown Walks happen on Friday, October 5th & 19th while the Oak Grove Cemetery Walks run on Saturday, October 6th & 20th. All shows start at 8:30pm, please reserve (limited space) and arrive at least 10 minutes prior.

In addition, two indoor shows will be held at CentreStage Theatre.

What sort of results came from this campaign (exposure/ negative reactions other)? No campaign. No results. It just WAS. (Some young people today don't get this.)

Is Wolfville still ‘Where It's At’? Depends on, like, where you are.

To see a copy of the poster, visit The Odd Book on Wolfville’s Front Street.

- Compiled by the Grapevine.

These productions, scheduled for Sunday, October 21st & 28th at 8pm, will be a compilation of both outdoor walks. There will be a free reception following the show on the 28th. For these CentreStage shows only, phone 678-8040 for reservations.

Funding for the project was received from the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage, through the Cultural Activities Program.

Kentville's Gravely Ghost Walks are also sponsored by Pizzazz Bistro on Webster Court. Your $35 reservation will provide a

choice of appetizer, entrée, tea/ coffee plus a ghostly ticket to be used that same evening. Some of the proceeds from all shows will go towards supporting local theatre.

Dress appropriately for the weather, bring a flashlight and $13 for adults / $8 for students. If you've been on Wolfville's Gravely Ghost Walks, you'll have a good idea of what to expect.

Dreamy Black Beans and Rice

From Jenny Osburn of Union Street Cafe • www.localfoodlover@blogspot.com

U

sually in September I'm dreaming up ideas for showcasing the season's most fleeting of pleasures: homegrown tomatoes. Once I've eaten my fill of tomato-and-basil sandwiches and made a few batches of the world's fastest tomato sauce there is still a giant bowl of perfectly imperfect tomatoes in my kitchen. Here is a lovely and deliciously plain meal that invites a table full of toppings to garnish it.

You can have fun with this, and it's perfect for a large gathering if you simply scale up the recipe. The beans can be made well ahead of time, then reheated with a little extra water so they don't scorch. Bowls of roughly chopped tomatoes, avocado, finely diced onion, cilantro, cheese and some good hot sauces allow each of your guests to make their own beautiful presentation. It's also really good with none of these accompaniments, proving that simple is almost always best...

Black Beans and Rice four servings Seasoning is totally key here, taking something that could be boring to something outstandingly delicious. When starting with dried beans, a full tablespoon of salt is right for me. You might want to start with two teaspoons and season to taste from there.

• 2 cups dried Black Beans or 2 cans (540 ml) Black Beans • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil • 1 large Onion, chopped • 3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped • 1 teaspoon ground Cumin • 1 teaspoon ground Coriander Seed • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (optional) • 1 Bay Leaf • 1 tablespoon Salt • 1 cup Brown or White Rice, cooked according to directions (don't forget the salt!)

If using dried beans, place them in a large heavy pot with 8 cups water.

Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender, about an hour and a half.

Check from time to time that there is enough water. If using canned beans, skip this step and place the beans in a large heavy pot- no need to drain. When the beans are tender, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the onions. Stir until golden, then add the garlic, spices and salt. Cook for a minute, then scrape into the pot with the beans. Add 2 cups water, 183 commercial st, berwick cover and simmer over low heat unionstreetcafe.ca until beans are falling apart a little, 538-7787 about an hour. Serve with rice and "handmade food and fun" toppings and cold beer.

The New Wolfville School Garden

T

he New Wolfville School Garden which is located on the back patio and surrounding grassy area fronting on Prospect Street in Wolfville was started early last spring when Sheonagh McCullough (mother of 4) and Martha Valiquette (mom of one and Driving School owner) became inspired after hearing Dr. Vandana Shiva speak at Horton High School about seed saving and the security of food.

There are many wonderful reasons to teach our children about growing delicious, nutritious food not the least of which is to pass on valuable skills and concrete life lessons about feeding ourselves and our families, but also about nutrition, nature, pollination, germination, life-cycles, heirloom seeds and variety of foods which can be so much fun to nurture and follow through to maturity and then into seed bearing stage. Saving seed is almost a lost art but we plan on passing this knowledge on to the young students of Wolfville School. And we're learning so much too!

To date we have had over 200 students in the garden (not all at once) performing many tasks. From the student-built, raised-bed garden boxes (from locally grown and milled hemlock), to the students who folded seed-starting pots from

newspaper and then sowed the seeds and seedlings into the previous filled garden boxes and other hand-tilled beds in the grassy area. We have had over a dozen community volunteers who have donated several species of perennials from rhubarb to raspberry to sage, mint and chives and grape vines. Besides donations we have had community volunteers watering, weeding, advising and harvesting all summer long. All annuals are heirloom varieties and doing quite well in the their new home. Before the summer break, students twice harvested lettuce varieties, radish, peas and nasturtiums for use in Wolfville School's own lunch program. By all reports the fresh foods were well received and delicious!

Future plans include picnic tables, an arbour, welcome sign, outdoor wall art and more varieties of perennial herbs, fruit and berries.

If you would like to donate anything to this effort or if you are interested in reading more and seeing photos and videos, please visit our blog: ws-garden.tumblr. com

Who's Who: GeoFF Ball: Said the Director to the Cast!

G I thought Geoff was just an actor when I first met him in fall 2011.

We did a play together called Out of Sight, Out of Murder and there was much talk of his theatre life, actress wife and long resume of theatrical endeavours but I was mistaken... he is an actor and so much more! Presently, Geoff is retired but he’s actually busier than ever. In the past he was a Civilian Mariner for the federal government (for about 20 years) , Scientific Instrument Technician (Dalhousie), High School English teacher (Lockeport, NS) , Radio Commercial writer , Commercial fisherman, Airport Ground Transportation Dispatcher , and First Aid and CPR Instructor for St. John Ambulance (just to name a few!)

Oh and did I mention he’s an

actor, director, stage manager, and producer? Geoff started doing theatre as a summer job before attending university. He spent two seasons at the Provincetown Playhouse, Cape Cod and moved on to work in various venues in the ensuing four plus decades doing professional, semiprofessional and community projects from New Jersey to Musquodobit. Geoff worked for a dozen years with the Dartmouth Players, in every capacity, setting still-standing attendance records for his production of Nunsense, and recently an original play

by Geoff was workshopped by Kentville native Richard Donat.

Geoff also does TV and radio commercial work, voice-overs, music videos and has appeared in several independent films, most recently, he received accolades for his acting in the film “Ne’er Do Wells” at the Al Whittle Theatre.

He has appeared in four Centrestage plays, in Kentville, and now takes on the role of director for the theatre company’s current production of Fred Carmichael’s Said the Spider to

the Spy, the ultimate mistakenidentity comedy! This play is fastpaced and witty, filled with real, believable characters thrown into hilarious situations, continually building and twisting. Geoff is no stranger to comedy and this should be a real crowd pleaser.

Said the Spider to the Spy plays September 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 and October 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20 at Centrestage Theatre in Kentville. Call 678-8040 to make reservations for this hilarious farce. Visit the www. centrestagetheatre.ca website to read cast bios and check out all that’s happening with the little theatre with big heart!

Geoff is husband to Carole Ball.

She auditioned for a prime role in a play he was directing many years ago, did not get the part but was hired as the stage manager instead. A month after closing night, Geoff proposed. The Balls now live in Blomidon, among their animals, starry nights, gorgeous scenery and no traffic and they both really love this way of life. Next up for Geoff:

The Wolfville Magic Winery Bus: Good Valley Family Fun “Mommy! I wish we could go on a double-decker bus!” You could imagine my delight when I saw that the Magic Winery Bus – a double-decker bus was coming to Wolfville!

As the operator of Valley Family Fun (valleyfamilyfun.ca) I wanted to see how kid-friendly it really was. A morning that combines a double-decker bus for the kids and wine for me – sign me up!

The Magic Winery Bus is an authentic London transit doubledecker bus that every Saturday and Sunday from 10:30-3:30 until October 14th, winds its way, rain or shine, to five wineries in the Gaspereau Valley, Grand Pre and Lower Wolfville. Hop on the bus every hour on the half hour at the Shoppers Drug Mart parking lot in Wolfville. Free parking is available at the Festival Theatre parking lot. Tickets are $10 and kids ride for free!

Like what is necessary with parenting, the Magic Winery Bus is flexible. So, this means as you go around on the tour bus, you can get off at whatever wineries you wish, and hop back on an hour later when the bus makes its next round.

At all the wineries, kids can walk through the vineyards, sampling the grapes. In the afternoons at Gaspereau Winery, tours of the vineyards for kids are given where and L’Acadie has sparkling juices and a playground. Luckett Vineyards has horse-drawn wagon rides for $5 (children under 8 are free) and a British phone box in the vineyard with free phone calls to anywhere in North America – so bring Grandma’s phone number! Grand Pre Winery has a kids’ menu at their restaurant and Muir Murray has weekly activities that kids could get involved with.

Overall, my advice to families who want to go on the Magic Winery Bus is to be flexible. If you are going with kids, pick one or two places where you would like to stop. Enjoy the bus ride, the great views, and the novelty of being on a double-decker bus!

The Magic Winery Bus is definitely good Valley Family Fun! Laura Churchill Duke, valleyfamilyfun@gmail.com

eoff Ball, born and raised in western Massachusetts, now living in the Valley, has quite the biography, certainly more facts and tidbits then this Who’s Who can hold, but with little space will come a great profile.

Continuous lawn, pasture, and home maintenance, maybe more plays or some dairy goats.... maybe retirement?? No... That would be silly.... Whatever stage comes next.... I’ll be in the audience! ~Mike Butler Brought to you by

t was fall and we had just gotten a big load of wood for the winter dumped in our driveway. My husband and I were out late one night trying to stack it. I should mention that I was about 7 months pregnant at the time, too. I was taking it easy, I promise. But, my neighbour across the street, in his 70s saw me out piling wood and immediately came over with his wheelbarrow to help my husband and made me sit and talk to them. I love my Kentville neighbourhood!
