HOLLY CARR: "The Nature of Seasons" at Harvest Gallery, Wolfville. May through June 10th, 2012

The transition of seasons never fails to move me. Why after all these years am I still enchanted by the first snow fall, the sound of the spring peepers, my lilac bushes in bloom and the ever changing foliage from the first bud to the brilliant colours Autumn brings. The creatures I have depicted in this series of paintings are ones that I encounter often on our rural property. They slink in and out of the forest, leap across our fields and fly from maple tree to fruit tree. Yet every time I see these beautiful creatures I am in awe and feel privileged for the encounter. The “Nature of Seasons” in all of its temperatures, colours and life’s endings and beginnings is a constant source of inspiration. Holly Carr The show runs until June 10th. Visit the exhibition harvestgallery.ca

The Grapevine Asks: Is there an obscure by-law that prevents businesses on the south side of Main Street from obtaining a liquor license? (That's the rumour but I think it's more coincidental.)

Yes, I’ve heard that rumour from time to time over the years, but there is no truth to it. There is nothing preventing a liquor license for the south side of the street, and of course at one time the former garage restaurant at the corner of Main and Gaspereau would have had an eating establishment liquor license.

- Gregg Morrison, Wolfville Director of Planning

Swingology Brings Django to Wolfville The year is 1934, the place is the hotel Claridge on the Champs Elysées in Paris, France. The orchestra is taking a break during the afternoon tea dance. A chance backstage jam session between gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli will eventually lead to the formation of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. They will go on to become one of the greatest jazz bands of all time, melding swing with the music of the gypsy camps and the rowdy Parisian musette dance halls to create what we now know as “gypsy swing.”

Fast forward to 2012. Gypsy swing is still being heard round the world, kept alive by hundreds of bands inspired by the quintet’s infectious rhythms and audacious soloing. One such group is Nova Scotia’s Swingology, who have been bringing their light, engaging brand of gypsy swing to audiences all over the province since 2006. They recreate the sound and feel of a Paris cabaret in the 1930s, with a group consisting of three gypsy guitars, violin, clarinet, bass, and the torchy vocals of swing diva Cynthia Myers.

Swingology will be taking the stage at Acadia Cinema’s Al Whittle Theatre, 450 Main Street, Wolfville on Thursday May 31 at 8PM. Tickets are $20 (seniors & students $15) and are available at the Box of Delights, Wolfville, (902) 542-9511, Moe’s Place Music Sales, Windsor, or at the concert. Swingology’s contact: swingology.ca

Acadia Perspective: How big is the Web?

set of IP addresses to each machine running the program, a little like census officers covering a unique region. In total the program generates roughly 1,500 to 2,400 requests per machine per minute, or 3.6 million requests per hour.

Grapevine Note: Originally published in the Acadia Alumni Bulletin, spring 2009 “It’s about 50 feet long and as big as a whale,” says Liam Joudrey, 5.

“It’s about as big as the world,” says Sam Whidden, 5.

“It’s at least 23 websites,” says Kaela Biro, 7.

“It’s thiiiiiiisssss big” says Evan Kruisselbrink, 5, widely stretching his arms.

“It’s from the top of screen to the bottom by the keyboard,” says Barrett Jones, 7.

“It’s not really big - it’s right in the computer!” says Corwin Weatherbee, 5.

Because the program sends out so many requests in a short period of time, Acadia was contacted by organizations such as the US Department of National Defense and NASA to inquire about these queries. After Benoit explained the project, they agreed not to block the program.

These children are all responding to what at first seems to be a simple question: just how big is the Web? If you were to ask many adults the question, the responses would probably not vary that much from the childrens’. But two members of Acadia’s Computer Science Department, Dr. Darcy Benoit and Dr. André Trudel, are trying to answer the question as accurately as possible: and they’re discovering just what a challenge it can be.

Dr. Andre Trudel & Dr. Darcy Benoit from the Jodrey School of Computer Science

downloaded (without images) and stored in a database. If no response is forthcoming within 20 seconds, the program moves to another IP address. The program only counts publiclyavailable servers: not those that are behind a firewall. The census takes about three months.

To conduct a web census, Trudel and Benoit count the number of publicly accessible web servers, a computer that runs specific software to serve web pages to the Internet.

Every computer on a network has an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a unique 32-bit number which identifies a computer in a network.

Trudel and Benoit’s methodology is to query every IP address on the Internet for the presence of a web server. If there is a web server, the home page of that server is

This is an extremely time-consuming undertaking. “If we had one computer that ran 24/7 and averaged one IP address per minute,” explains Benoit, “it would take approximately 7,000 years to complete a web census.” By increasing the number of machines to 25, and initiating multiple IP contacts simultaneously on each machine, the time was reduced to three months. Trudel and Benoit assigned a

So, just how big is the Web? The latest dataset shows that out of 3.8 billion IP addresses, there are 24 million individual web servers.

It will be interesting to see how this changes over time.

2012 Update: The data is still pictorially represented on an eight foot square graph and is on public display in Carnegie Hall’s Room 209. Visits can be arranged by contacting either Darcy or Andre (Andre.Trudel@acadiau.ca, darcy.benoit@acadiau.ca). A free interactive iPad version of the graph will soon be available (hopefully

by June) at the Apple App Store.

Dawne Olafson: The Food Thinker Dawne Olafson’s interest in nutrition arose from her curiosity as a touring French horn artist and Masters in Orchestral Performance student (McGill) about peak performance. At Acadia, Dawne’s interests expanded to include food security, diabetes in aboriginal communities, and environmental sustainability of the food supply and food packaging (see her blog at ‘thefoodthinker.com’). Because of the Peguis First Nation support throughout her studies, Dawne is drawn to work in an Aboriginal community or reserve in diabetes prevention/care, and to help elders live at home with

Rob Brezsny's

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "My soul is a fire that suffers if it doesn't burn," said Jean Prevost, a writer and hero of the French Resistance during World War II. "I need three or four cubic feet of new ideas every day, as a steamboat needs coal." Your soul may not be quite as blazing as his, Aries, and you may normally be able to get along fine with just a few cubic inches of new ideas per day. But I expect that in the next three to four weeks, you will both need and yearn to generate Prevost-type levels of heat and light. Please make sure you're getting a steady supply of the necessary fuel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here's a great question to pose on a regular basis during the next three weeks: "What's the best use of my time right now?" Whenever you ask, be sure to answer with an open mind. Don't assume that the correct response is always, "working with white-hot intensity on churning out the masterpiece that will fulfill my dreams and cement my legacy." On some occasions, the best use of your time may be doing the laundry or sitting quietly and doing nothing more than watching the world go by. Here's a reminder from philosopher Jonathan Zap: "Meaning and purpose are not merely to be found in the glamorous, dramatic moments of life."

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Sometimes I think and other times I am," said French poet Paul Valery. Most of us could say the same thing. From what I can tell, Gemini, you are now entering an intensely "I am" phase of your long-term cycle -- a time when it will be more important for you to exclaim "woohoo!" than to mutter "hmmm;" a time to tune in extra strong to the nonverbal wisdom of your body and to the sudden flashes of your intuition; a time when you'll generate more good fortune by getting gleefully lost in the curious mystery of the moment than by sitting back and trying to figure out what it all means.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't pretend you can't see the darkness. Admit to its presence.

Accept its reality. And then, dear

The Grapevine

For the week of May 24th Cancerian, walk nonchalantly away from it, refusing to fight it or be afraid of it. In other words, face up to the difficulty without becoming all tangled up in it. Gaze into the abyss so as to educate yourself about its nature, but don't get stuck there or become entranced by its supposedly hypnotic power.

I think you'll be amazed at how much safety and security you can generate for yourself simply by being an objective, poised observer free of melodramatic reactions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It's OK

with me if you want to keep the lion as your symbolic animal, Leo. But I'd like to tell you why I'm proposing that you switch over to the tiger, at least for now. People who work with big cats say that lions tend to be obnoxious and grouchy, whereas tigers are more affable and easy to get along with.

And I think that in the coming weeks it'll be important for you to be like the tiger. During this time, you will have an enhanced power to cultivate friendships and influence people. Networking opportunities will be excellent.

Your web of connections should expand. By the way, even though lions are called kings of the jungle, tigers are generally bigger, more muscular, and better fighters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In

1977, the first Apple computers were built in a garage that Steve Jobs' father provided for his son and Steve Wozniak to work in. (You can see a photo of the holy shrine here: tinyurl.com/ AppleGarage.) I suggest you think about setting up your own version of that magic place sometime soon: a basement, kitchen, garage, warehouse, or corner of your bedroom that will be the spot where you fine-tune your master plan for the coming years -- and maybe even where you begin working in earnest on a labor of love that will change everything for the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I have

a head's up for you, Libra. Do your best to avoid getting enmeshed in any sort of "he said/she said" controversy. (Of course it could be a "he said/he said" or "she said/ she said" or "trans said/intersex said" brouhaha, too -- you get the

idea.) Gossip is not your friend in the week ahead. Trying to serve as a mediator is not your strong suit.

Becoming embroiled in personal disputes is not your destiny. In my opinion, you should soar free of all the chatter and clatter.

It's time for you to seek out big pictures and vast perspectives.

Where you belong is meditating on a mountaintop, flying in your dreams, and charging up your psychic batteries in a sanctuary that's both soothing and thrilling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In some Australian aborigine cultures, a newborn infant gets two names from the tribal elders.

The first is the name everybody knows. The second is sacred, and is kept secret. Even the child isn't told. Only when he or she comes of age and is initiated into adulthood is it revealed. I wish we had a tradition similar to this.

It might be quite meaningful for you, because you're currently navigating your way through a rite of passage that would make you eligible to receive your sacred, secret name. I suggest we begin a new custom: When you've completed your transformation, pick a new name for yourself, and use it only when you're conversing with your ancestors, your teachers, or yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21): Please raise your hand if you have ever sought out a romantic connection with someone mostly because of the way he or she looked. You shouldn't feel bad if you have; it's pretty common.

But I hope you won't indulge in this behavior any time soon. In the coming weeks, it's crucial for you to base your decisions on deeper understandings -- not just in regards to potential partners and lovers, but for everything. As you evaluate your options, don't allow physical appearance and superficial attractiveness to be the dominant factors.

tank; they'd pecked a couple of hundred holes, some quite deep.

To allow for necessary repairs, launch was postponed for over a month. I'm choosing this scenario to serve as a useful metaphor for you, Capricorn. Regard it as your notice not to ignore a seemingly tiny adversary or trivial obstacle.

Take that almost-insignificant pest seriously.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It's official: Dancing increases your intelligence. So says a report in the New England Journal of Medicine. Unfortunately, research found that swimming, bicycling, and playing golf are not at all effective in rewiring the brain's neural pathways. Doing crossword puzzles is somewhat helpful, though, and so is reading books.

But one of the single best things you can do to enhance your cognitive functioning is to move your body around in creative and coordinated rhythm with music.

Lucky you: This is a phase of your astrological cycle when you're likely to have more impulses and opportunities to dance. Take advantage! Get smarter. (More info: tinyurl.com/DanceSmart.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Your animal totem for the next phase of your astrological cycle is a creature called a hero shrew.

Of all the mammals in the world, it has the strongest and heaviest spine proportionate to its size.

This exceptional attribute makes the tiny animal so robust that a person could stand on it without causing serious harm. You will need to have a backbone like that in the coming weeks, Pisces.

Luckily, the universe will be conspiring to help you. I expect to see you stand up to the full weight of the pressures coming to bear on you -- and do it with exceptional charisma.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The 21st flight of the 4.5-billionpound Space Shuttle Discovery was supposed to happen on June 8, 1995. But about a week before its scheduled departure, workers discovered an unforeseen problem. Northern Flicker Woodpeckers had made a mess of the insulation on the outer fuel

Limb a t l u e n r B : o O u t e k Mi

J

eremy Novak presented me with the challenge.

Knowing I have a deathly fear of heights, Jeremy suggested tackling that fear by visiting the ONTREE fun & adventure park that recently opened in Windsor, adjacent to Ski Martock. Now, fun & adventure are two words that don’t spring to mind when aiming to conquer a fear, nor do the words excited, gung-ho or remotely interested but, I never turn down a challenge, no matter how ludicrous. I am not ashamed to put this in writing: I was petrified.

Based on German ingenuity and standards, the OnTree Park offers excitement and physical challenges for people of all ages and ability, there is even a section of the park for those with special needs. The park provides a number of climbing tracks, high rope courses, zip lines, Tarzan ropes, spider webs, jagged cat walks and more for hours of fun and laughter and in my case, tears and screaming! The dream of this park began years ago in Germany, but it wasn’t until the owners, Juergen Weigelt and his family, moved to Nova Scotia and discovered the beautiful hemlock woodlands in Windsor, that the dream became a reality. Just to stand back and gaze up at the modern Swiss Family Robinson construction of the park is really quite breathtaking. Now, all you adventurous, outdoorsy, no fear folks will just jump (not literally) at the opportunity to climb trees, swing from ropes and dangle 30 feet in the air, but for the more timid adventurer, well.... take it slow and it’ll work for you too!

OnTree Park has 8 courses, 2 training courses and one kid’s course. The courses are situated in heights between 3 to 50 feet from the ground and whether experienced or not there will be challenges for everyone. This would be a great place for school classes, birthday parties, teams, families or just a challenge for you to complete on your own.

The courses are one-way and independent from each other.

Back on the ground from one course, you can decide, which course you want to climb next.

You can build up the challenges

step by step and during the 3 hours’ time slot you have the free choice of climbing any of the courses, depending on your courage and skills.

OnTree Park uses a safety system that makes it impossible to unhook while you are up on the course and they utilize the latest designed double-carabiner system that will not allow unhooking both carabiners at the same time. You are always secured with one carabiner until you are safely on the ground. It was this system that I put 100% of my confidence in and I let it take me through the first FOUR courses. Yes folks, through much sweating, nervous laughter, twitching, heavy breathing/ partial hyperventilating, and the motivation to conquer my fear and prove to Jeremy and to myself that I could do it, I completed half the park’s courses and arrived safely on the ground.

I was mentally and physically exhausted but never more proud of myself. I guess it’s Jeremy Novak: 1, Mike Butler: 0.

The park is located at 370 Martock Road, Windsor and is open 10am to 6pm EVERYDAY, including holidays and is suitable for ages 5 and up. Call 902-7988855 or you can visit ontreepark. com for detailed information about the courses, bookings, see photos, and videos and more.

Special thanks to Beth Brewster for being my on-ground support, Stephenie the OnTree safety guide who taught me the ropes, to Jeremy for helping me branch out and to Scott Brison for making the harness look comfy!

Ravishing Rhubarb

From Jenny Osburn of Union Street Café. Find her Kitchen Witch blog at: www.localfoodlover.blogspot.com

Rhubarb Chutney

from other customers. Rhubarb is inexpensive and versatile. It keeps for weeks wrapped in plastic in the fridge, and freezes very well just chopped up and thrown in a bag. It is also unbelievably sour! Fairly large amounts of sugar are required to soften its bite, but this can be reduced by mixing rhubarb with other sweeter fruits.

For years we served Wild Salmon at the restaurant, pan seared and topped with this simple and delicious chutney. It lasts for months in the fridge, and is good wherever chutney is used: as a topping for Curries, in a little dish beside a platter of Cheese and Crackers, or on a Chicken Sandwich.

1 ½ C. Diced Red Onion 1 T. Grated Ginger 1 T. Oil 1 C. Dried Cranberries 1 C. Sugar (we use Just Us!) 1 C. Cider Vinegar ½ C. Apple Cider ½ t. Cardamom ½ t. Ground Coriander ½ t. Salt 4 C. sliced Rhubarb

Saute the onion and ginger in the oil until onions are softened. Add the remaining ingredients except rhubarb and bring to a boil.

Boil for 5 minutes, then add the rhubarb. Cook until rhubarb has softened and broken down and chutney has thickened somewhat.

It will thicken more as it cools.

Rhubarb Pecan Crisp

2 T. (packed) Brown Sugar ¼ t. Cinnamon 3 T. minced Pecans 3 T. melted Butter

6 C. sliced Rhubarb 1 C. Raspberries or sliced Strawberries (optional) 1 T. Unbleached all-purpose Flour ¼ C. Sugar Toss the rhubarb with the flour and sugar until fairly evenly coated. Place in an ungreased 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Place the raspberries on top. Use the same bowl for the topping: ¾ C. Rolled Oats ¼ C. Oat Bran (or Wheat Germ) 1 T. unbleached all-purpose Flour 1/8 t. Salt

Preheat oven to 350. Mix ingredients with a fork or your fingers until uniformly moistened.

Crumble the topping mixture over the fruit and pat into place.

Place the pan on a cookie sheet and bake in the centre of the oven for 20-25 minutes, until browned on top. Cool for 15 minutes before serving (with Ice Cream, if you're lucky!)

n the drive down the North Mountain, I can see a whole field of rhubarb that lies untouched. Every year I watch the giant flower stalks emerge, turn brown, and wither away until the next spring. I have climbed over the barbed wire fence that rings the field and stealthily picked huge bunches. Shaded by a parasol of rhubarb leaves, I snuck back to my car, threw the whole thing into my trunk and zoomed off to my Cafe kitchen. Since then, I have found out who owns the field and can now pick, without looking over my shoulder, for just 20 cents a pound. Pick the slenderest, reddest stalks for the prettiest results and dirty looks

Who's Who: NIKKI LANNAN: Not a Plain Jane!

I f you’ve seen any of my theatrical productions, you’d know that I was a born scene stealer.

Usually with flashy costumes, over the top dialogue etc. (Cinderella, Snow White and the Wedding Singer come to mind) and don’t get me wrong, I love being the scene stealer... but I am envious of Nikki Lannan, because she is truly the best scene stealer I’ve ever worked with. She’s a STAR scene stealer who gets your attention and takes your breath away whenever she is on stage. Nikki is the best kind of scene stealer... the kind that doesn’t know she does it!

Nikki Lannan was born and raised in Port Williams. She graduated from Horton High School and headed to MTA to study vocal performance, but she missed the beautiful Valley far too much so she transferred to the Musical Theatre Program at Acadia. After that program was dropped, Nikki decided to continue on in the Kinesiology program with musical theatre in the background. After finishing her kinesiology degree she decided to study nursing at Dalhousie to become an RN and she only has two years left before graduation. Nikki says that

theatre and music will always be a part of her life and she loves working on so many community theatre projects! Best of luck Nikki!

Nikki has been training vocally since she was in elementary school and since then she has done at least two shows a year, including Fezziwig’s Annual Christmas Frolic (14 years and almost every Fezziwig show) and the Stage Prophet’s Productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Beauty and The Beast, Les Miserables, Oliver!, and just last weekend, Nikki dazzled audiences as Diana

Barry in Anne of Green Gables!

Nikki can’t even begin to describe the absolutely incredible family that Stage Prophets has given her, not to mention all of the amazing characters she’s gotten to play over the years. Nikki also performed in Fiddler on the Roof and Once on this Island during her years at Horton High School, she performed for two years with the Women of Wolfville and last year she was asked (with just 2 weeks before opening night) to play Marmy in the Quick as a Wink’s production of Little Women and Nikki pulled it off with ease. She continued with

May 24 - June 7, 2012

QAAW for their production of Little Princess last December and she’s currently the lead in their latest production of Jane Eyre.

This fantastic musical is a Quick as a Wink and King’s-Edgehill School production that shows June 1, 2, 8, 9 at 7:30pm and also on June 3rd for a 2pm matinee pay what you can performance!

Tickets are $17.50 for adults and $15.00 for students, seniors and members and can be purchased at Windsor Home Hardware, at the door or online at quickasawinktheatre.ca. Go see Nikki and her wonderful cast mates as they bring this enduring story to the stage. This is no plain Jane, folks...you’ve got to see this very talented lady in action!

Thank you Nikki for taking the time between the leisure activities of board games, card games, making music and sitting around the campfires singing with friends to entertain us all with your beautiful voice and your stage presence. I look forward to working with you again... the battle of the scene stealers is far from over! ~Mike Butler

Katimavik Farewell. Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?

Wolfville

Street Fashion

by Claire Colville

Kelly is taking Environmental Sustainability at Acadia. He got his leather vest at Retro Runway in Wolfville.

As the last Katimavik group in Wolfville, we have a special message of appreciation to share.

Wolfville has opened its heart to us and we are deeply grateful.

Katimavik allowed us to leave the everyday hustle and bustle of our hometowns to discover the special appeal of living in a closeknit community. The thoughtful, kind-natured spirit embedded in such beautiful surroundings certainly made our transition easy; it was amazing to watch the town change throughout the seasons. One minute there was an endless amount of snow falling on the ground and the next the thick smell of lilacs hung in the air. Our days tend to be quite busy jam-packed with new experiences (event-organizing and volunteering at local non-profit organizations) but the town’s

peaceful atmosphere and friendly faces have allowed us to remain grounded by being a constant reminder of why we’re here.

It was so nice to see how everyone takes time for one another.

People know one another and this helps create a tight sense of community. Katimavik's time in Wolfville has been anything but uneventful. From the everimpressive Night Kitchens to the lively, upbeat Farmer's Markets, Katimavik has actively engaged itself in a multitude of community-related experiences.

What did we take from it? An amazing understanding of what the word community truly means. Once again, we, the last Katimavik group in Wolfville, give a great big thank you.

But this time, the cabs were behind schedule, and she would have to wait half an hour at least, as I informed my coworker, Natalie. She immediately offered the lady a ride in her own car instead, and she graciously obliged. What a lovely community it is that we live in, that we happily offer rides to people we don't really know--and that we are a trusting enough community to accept them!
