S

ometimes you don’t have to look for an opportunity for kindness: sometimes it comes running right at you in the form of a teen girl begging for help. I am hardly a fighter, and seeing an angry group of teens chasing behind her, I wanted to run too!

But I have young children, and I’ve read with fear the news stories of youth bullied until they see suicide as their only option. So I stood as a barrier in front of the teen while one girl advanced and attempted to hit her repeatedly. A bystander called the police and I was relieved when they arrived. Thinking back, I sometimes question my decision. I had my young son with me, after all; did I place him in harm’s way? Perhaps. But bullies need to know that their actions will not be tolerated, and that teen girl needed to know that there are people willing to help her. So I think I did the right thing, and I hope I made a difference.

ANGEL

Angel is a 16-month-old purebred white German Shepherd. She is no princess, but your house could be her castle! She is friendly and very active. Angel does need some obedience training, so part of the adoption process would be a free dog-obedience class. Angel is not used to young children, cats or small dogs. She came to us from the beautiful South Shore, and until two two weeks ago she spent her days tied to a tree. Then one day a special person came along and gave her the opportunity to find a new and loving home. Angel is spayed, boostered and parvo-tested.

The Grapevine

Editor's Update H

ello New Grapevine Readers! Now that we're on newsprint and printing 1000 more issues, we'll be extending our reach to Kentville and New Minas - look for a new issue every second Thursday.

In case the rest of you were wondering, the people on the cover of last issue were the past and current owners/operators of the Grapevine.

In our rush to get that issue to print, we overlooked a few things including properly identifying ourselves. Despite a far-from-perfect issue (we're still on the hunt for one of those, btw), the overwhelming response to the format change has been positive. This sort of community feedback is wonderful of course, but it's contrary emails that really evoke the most internal discussion.

Not everyone appreciated our decision to publish Andy Kavanagh's article on how he's worked his way to becoming a worker-member at Just Us! - the

timing of it was questioned.

One of the biggest criticisms of The Grapevine that we've had is, although it certainly is handy and uplifting, it tends to lack meaty articles that stimulate discussion. Managing a community-building publication without the funds needed to properly employ journalists can be a bit of a juggling act, but we do want to encourage opinions. Check out (and feel free to contribute to) the new opinions feature on page 5.

In completely unrelated news, the Facebook group: Tubing Gaspereau just mentioned that Nova Scotia Power aims to have the river running until June 18 with a possible return, depending on water levels, come late July. Here's to more fun times in the Valley everyone! ~Jeremy Novak

ast Coast sensation Matt Andersen is set to join Old Crow Medicine Show for a sold-out performance at Acadia's Convocation Hall this Saturday night. It's bound to be an excellent show for those lucky enough to have tickets. After this performance, Matt heads across the pond for performances throughout England, Ireland and South Wales. It looks like it will be well into August before we'll get to enjoy him at home again.

We want to hear from you! We offer you, the reader, this section of the paper to share your positive or constructive thoughts on issues that matter to you.

Re: One Worker’s five-year Just Us! Journey

I

completely understand that the paper is generally a positive vibe, and get that controversial issues rarely make the pages. And to someone not involved in the (local coffee shop) struggle, (the article) just seems like any old community member talking about their job in the community. But to those in the community who have been affected by (the coffee shop) in a negative way, it kind of felt like a slap in the face.

Shayna Nicole

M

y attention to your new format for The Grapevine was abruptly interrupted when I came across the story written by (an employee), a Worker-Owner with (a local coffee shop). If this piece was paid for by (the employee) or by the company, then it should have been so noted as an advertisement. If it was not, then I challenge the judgement you demonstrated in running it without due journalistic balance. Are you not aware that there is a current and major labour dispute taking place with (the coffee shop)!? In fact, there is a complaint before the Labour Board of Canada by two former employees. Until that matter is settled, either in favour of (the coffee shop) or the workers, you owe your readers better judgement.

Sundays:

Paddy’s Pub (Kentville): Kevin Davidson & The Smokin Section (31st) 8pm

Union Street Café/Wick Pub (Berwick): Open Mic w/Darrell Skinner (31st), w/Little Derek & the Housecats (7th) 8:30pm

Dorothy King, West Brooklyn

No, that article was not paid for. We felt it was a timely article, there are many sources online to read about the current labour issue. We feel like this article is helping to bring journalistic balance.

T

remendous congratulations on the new and improved Grapevine, now in living colour! I found a copy of the May 16-30 issue in the Port Williams post office, and it is really a wonderful publication, especially for us tourism operators who must always have all the action on the local scene at our fingertips, the better to inform our guests.

Director of the Atlantic Wine Institute Dr. Donna Sears enthused, “The event was supported, in part, through a grant [NSERC] aimed at providing opportunities for researchers to connect with industry. That was certainly an important outcome, since attendees were reluctant to end their conversations, even just to fill their plates!” Winery Association of Nova Scotia (WANS) CEO Nick Jennery added, “The only way to realize Nova Scotia’s potential is to align our thinking around a common vision and to talk about it. Saturday’s event provided an effective forum for meaningful conversations. In a couple of hours, I connected with

The assembled guests included representatives from each of the Institute’s partner institutions as well as grape growers, winery owners, winemakers, members of the food/ hospitality/culinary industry, academics and other scientists, and members of municipal, provincial, and federal governments. In addition, AWI was pleased to welcome Dr. Debbie Inglis, Director of the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute (CCOVI) at Brock University. Dr. Inglis brought greetings from CCOVI, identifying AWI as a “sister institute,” thanks to a recent Memorandum of Understanding between the two.

or three enterprising Acadia students and their burgeoning business, EastCoast Lifestyle, community support is a two-way street. Alex MacLean, Kush Patel, and Antoine Brown started their company as part of their Venture Creation class with Dr. Michael Shappard. It has been steadily growing ever since, in large part due to community support for their brand, which aims to represent the best of Nova Scotia. Their signature t-shirts are designed and printed in Nova Scotia, and approximately half of the company’s profits makes their way back into the community as donations and sponsorships. As MacLean, a double major in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, explains, “The idea of the company is to provide top-quality clothing and also give back to the local community by donating clothing apparel to the homeless of Nova Scotia.” T-shirts are regularly donated to Shelter NS, and the company currently sponsors local athletes and artists, including the Halifax Mooseheads, NHL Goalie Jake Allen, actor Kim Coates and music group DVBBS. With 64 t-shirts donated so far, EastCoast Lifestyle is well on its way to fulfilling its mission to donate 100 t-shirts by August 2013.

Wolfville, NS – May 27, 2013: The weather ranged from drizzle to rain and back again as an eclectic group of wine enthusiasts gathered for the official launch of the Atlantic Wine Institute (AWI) at Benjamin Bridge Winery, outside Wolfville on Saturday.

Internationally known for its premium Méthode Classique sparkling wines, Benjamin Bridge opened its exclusive doors to a diverse and enthusiastic group of people ready to toast the Atlantic Wine Institute with a glass of bubbly and enjoy a delicious pig roast. One member of government provided a celebrative and context-appropriate view of the gloomy conditions by commenting that the weather was “as effervescent as Nova 7.”

May 30 - June 13, 2013

government ministers, winery owners, and academics, and I had a very effective forum to talk about what it takes to realize Nova Scotia’s potential.” Similarly, the Honourable Scott Brison (M.P. for Kings-Hants) commented, “The Atlantic Wine Institute will be a key element in the budding Nova Scotia wine industry that is already recognized for its world class products. This initiative will facilitate academic collaboration, the sharing of knowledge, and the identification of best practices, thereby ensuring that Nova Scotia plays a significant role in the burgeoning Canadian wine industry.”

ou may have noticed that Acadia is not the buzz of activity it normally is when classes are in. It’s officially summer vacation for us in the university world, and most students have gone off to have a fourmonth adventure, leaving campus to lie quietly in the summer sun.

The corridor in the Student Union Building known as Executive Row is an exception. The five newly elected executive officers of the Acadia Students’ Union started their year-long terms on May 1 and will be working fulltime throughout the summer.

Matthew Rios is returning as president for a second term.

A major focus for him this year will be on mental-health and wellness initiatives.

Also returning is Coltan Fagan, Vice President Programming, who is working away during the summer on organizing Welcome Week as well as Homecoming activities.

Andrea Jeffs is this year’s Vice President Finance. She is spending her summer seeking sponsorship for our Welcome Week and other events throughout the year. If you or your company is interested in sponsoring ASU events, please contact her at andrea.jeffs@acadiau.ca!

Our new Vice President Academic is Darcy Shea. She represents the ASU on external lobbying groups, and stays busy around campus on many senate committees. She hopes to create a Student Bill of Rights this year.

Lindsay Doucet is Vice President, Communications. She manages all ASU social media. She hopes to be really involved in this amazing town of Wolfville, as well as promote student success stories.

If you’re interested in visiting any of the executive, you can find them in their offices in the Student Union Building. As a group, we are excited to meet all sorts of new people, hear their ideas, and share our goals and visions with everyone!

Lindsay Doucet | 102215d@acadiau.ca

Nova Scotia hospitality was centre stage.

With a forecast for rain, attendees were encouraged to don their best (or favourite) pair of rubber boots for the largely outdoor event. In a hastily purchased but outfit-matching pair of bright blue boots and a sou’wester provided by Nick Jennery, Dr. Inglis declared, “They’ve got me covered from head to toe! Like everyone else, I walked away with better connections than I had when I arrived.”

Led by Acadia University, the Atlantic Wine Institute is currently a partnership of Acadia, Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, Holland College, Mount Saint Vincent University, St. Mary’s University, and Nova Scotia Community College, along with the Winery Association of Nova Scotia and the Grape Growers Association of Nova Scotia. The Institute aims to connect highly qualified researchers with members of the grape and wine industry to leverage funding and conduct world-class research that then contributes to industry growth through education and outreach.

May 30 - June 13, 2013

Holly Woodworth: Leading the WAY!

M

any people ask me where I find the people I write about in this column.

Well, I take recommendations, I ask people on the street, I have a list of local “celebrities” whom I’ve always wanted to know more about, and then there are good old random happenings. Holly Woodworth falls into the “random” category. I was in the post office last week and noticed a poster for Wolfville Area Youth (WAY) with Holly’s contact information on it. The next thing you know, she was a Who’s Who subject!

Holly was born out west, but her family stems from Nova Scotia. She grew up in the Valley and attended Acadia University, getting her undergraduate honour’s degree in Women and Gender Studies. She currently works for the Town of Wolfville in the recreation Department as the Youth Activity Coordinator. Holly found this position after working for the Wolfville Farmers’ Market and co-developing the children’s healthy food program.

CentreStage Theatre Presents: Two Dumb Dogs: The Amazing Adventures of Ferdo and Floof. A family show by Edith Weiss

F

erdo and Floof are two silly dogs who like to break rules. They run away to seek fame and fortune, and despite the warnings of a wise owl, they enter the enchanted forest. There they encounter a cursed prince, the wicked Queen Malevella, her hapless minion poodle Mimi, and the legendary Dog Shouter. Together, they must rally their brainpower and confidence to release the prince and escape from the Queen’s dungeon.

Howl with delight as these pups learn that sometimes following rules is a good thing.

This show will delight children of all ages!

Two Dumb Dogs: The Amazing Adventures of Ferdo and Floof is directed by Davina Melanson, and features Mike Jorgernson, Mindy Vinqvist-Tymchuk, Micci Comeau, Ethan Van Meekeran, Samantha Vinqvist-Tymchuk, Alex Pineo, and Sophie Van Excel.

Two Dumb Dogs plays Saturdays and Sundays from June 8 to June 23, with two performances on Saturdays (11am and 2pm) and afternoon matinees on Sundays (2pm). All tickets are $5. Call 678-8040 for reservations. For more information, visit www.centrestagetheatre.ca

In her current position, Holly has the privilege of working with two different youth groups: the Wolfville Leaders Core and a group working towards their gold in the Duke of Edinburgh Program. Holly is also working with various members of the community to develop a new youth group called WAY, the Wolfville Area Youth, which will establish a location for Wolfville youth to hang out, socialize, and interact with one another. The first meeting of the WAY group was last Friday, and they plan to meet for the next three Fridays between 7 and 9 p.m.

They invite all youth attending Grades Six to Eight to attend and have fun! The meetings are held at the Wolfville Recreation Centre, 7 Victoria Avenue.

Holly loves working with young people. Her future plan is to be more heavily involved with youth work, including a shift into social work and working with families facing various barriers. Holly feels that that is her area of expertise and interest, and she’d love to work more in depth in that field of study.

Until then, she is doing an excellent job helping Wolfville’s youth find their place.

I learned that Holly spent nine months in Lilongwe, Malawi, in southwest Africa, doing gender mainstreaming for the government. Gender mainstreaming refers to assessing the different implications for men and women within public legislations and programmes. This life-changing experience has fueled a lot of Holly’s work here. As much as she enjoyed her trip to Africa, Holly loves being back with her family, watching her nephew grow up. Outside of work, Holly enjoys needle felting, making small woolly creatures. Her zoo grows almost daily.

Holly says “I was a big 4-H’er when I was younger and can certainly swing a pair of sheep-clippers! I grew up in Canning, but as soon as I could drive, Wolfville was always the place my friends and I enjoyed visiting.

We’d come here on our free periods for coffee and memories. I love the progressive ideas, the market, the small shops, the social justice movements--so ultimately, it’s the people that keep me here, their friendliness and the sense of community that unites all of us.”

Thanks, Holly, for making our community better. Best of luck! ~ Mike Butler

May 30 - June 13, 2013

Horoscopes For the week of May 30th, 2013© Copyright 2013 Rob Brezsny

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Back in

the 1920s, the governor of Texas was determined to forbid the teaching of foreign languages in public schools. To bolster her case, she called on the Bible. “If English was good enough for Jesus Christ,” she said, “it’s good enough for us.” She was dead serious. I suspect you may soon have to deal with that kind of garbled thinking, Aries. And it may be impossible to simply ignore it, since the people wielding it may have some influence on your life. So what’s the best way to deal with it? Here’s what I advise: Be amused. Quell your rage. Stay calm. And methodically gather the cool, clear evidence about what is really true.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A few

weeks ago, the principal at a school in Bellingham, Washington announced that classes would be canceled the next day.

What was his rationale? A big storm, a bomb threat, or an outbreak of sickness?

None of the above. He decided to give students and teachers the day off so they could enjoy the beautiful weather that had arrived. I encourage you to make a similar move in the coming days, Taurus. Take an extended Joy Break -- maybe several of them. Grant yourself permission to sneak away and indulge in spontaneous celebrations. Be creative as you capitalize profoundly on the gifts that life is offering you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Japan it’s

not rude to slurp while you eat your ramen noodles out of a bowl. That’s what the Lonely Planet travel guide told me. In fact, some Japanese hosts expect you to make sounds with your mouth; they take it as a sign that you’re enjoying your meal. In that spirit, Gemini, and in accordance with the astrological omens, I encourage you to be as uninhibited as you dare this week -- not just when you’re slurping your noodles, but in every situation where you’ve got to express yourself uninhibitedly in order to experience the full potential of the pleasurable opportunities. As one noodleslurper testified: “How can you possibly get the full flavor if you don’t slurp?”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Here’s

a thought from philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein: “A person will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked and opens inwards as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push that door.”

I’d like to suggest that his description fits you right now, Cancerian. What are you going to do about it? Tell me I’m wrong?

Reflexively agree with me? I’ve got a better idea. Without either accepting or rejecting my proposal, simply adopt a neutral, openminded attitude and experiment with the possibility. See what happens if you try to pull the door open.

your soul. Please note that reverence is not solely the province of religious people.

A biologist may venerate the scientific method. An atheist might experience a devout sense of awe toward geniuses who have bequeathed to us their brilliant ideas.

What about you, Libra? What excites your reverence? Now is an excellent time to explore the deeper mysteries of this altered state of consciousness.

waiting for the right moment to perfect your party skills, I suspect this might be it. Is there anything you can do to lower your inhibitions? Would you at least temporarily consider slipping into a chronic state of fun? Are you prepared to commit yourself to extra amounts of exuberant dancing, ebullient storytelling, and unpredictable playtime? According to my reading of the astrological omens, the cosmos is nudging you in the direction of rabble-rousing revelry.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When explorer Ernest Shackleton was planning his expedition to Antarctica in 1914, he placed this ad in London newspapers: “Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.” Would you respond to a come-on like that if you saw it today?

I hope not. It’s true that your sense of adventure is ratcheting up. And I suspect you’re itching for intense engagement with the good kind of darkness that in the past has inspired so much smoldering wisdom. But I believe you can satisfy those yearnings without putting yourself at risk or suffering severe deprivation.

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

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I’d

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Reverence is one of the most useful emotions. When you respectfully acknowledge the sublime beauty of something greater than yourself, you do yourself a big favor. You generate authentic humility and sincere gratitude, which are healthy for your body as well as

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1948, Nelson Mandela began his fight to end the system of apartheid in his native South Africa. Eventually he was arrested for dissident activities and sentenced to life imprisonment. He remained in jail until 1990, when his government bowed to international pressure and freed him.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you have been

exactly are your power spots, Virgo? Your bed, perhaps, where you rejuvenate and reinvent yourself every night? A place in nature where you feel at peace and at home in the world? A certain building where you consistently make good decisions and initiate effective action?

Wherever your power spots are, I advise you to give them extra focus. They are on the verge of serving you even better than they usually do, and you should take steps to ensure that happens. I also advise you to be on the lookout for a new power spot.

It’s available.

rather not sing than sing quiet,” said the vivacious chanteuse Janis Joplin. Her attitude reminds me a little of Salvador Dali’s. He said, “It is never difficult to paint. It is either easy or impossible.” I suspect you Sagittarians may soon be in either-or states like those. You will want to give everything you’ve got, or else nothing at all. You will either be in the zone, flowing along in a smooth and natural groove, or else totally stuck. Luckily, I suspect that giving it all and being in the zone will predominate.

By 1994, apartheid collapsed. Mandela was elected president of his country and won the Nobel Peace Prize. Fast-forward to 2008. Mandela was still considered a terrorist by the United States, and had to get special permission to enter the country. Yikes! You probably don’t have an antiquated rule or obsolescent habit that’s as horrendous as that, Capricorn.

But it’s past time for you to dissolve your attachment to any outdated attachments, even if they’re only mildly repressive and harmful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As a renowned artist, photographer, and fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld has overflowed with creative expression for 50 years. His imagination is weird and fantastic, yet highly practical. He has produced a profusion of flamboyant stuff. “I’m very down to earth,” he has said, “just not this earth.” Let’s make that your mantra for the coming weeks, Aquarius: You, too, will be very down to earth in your own unique way. You’ll follow your quirky intuition, but always with the intent of channeling it constructively.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the

following passage, French novelist Georges Perec invites us to renew the way we look upon things that are familiar to us. “What we need to question,” he says, “is bricks, concrete, glass, our table manners, our utensils, our tools, the way we spend our time, our rhythms. To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us.” A meditation like this could nourish and even thrill you, Pisces. I suggest you boost your ability to be sincerely amazed by the small wonders and obvious marvels that you sometimes take for granted.

MIKE Uncorked:

THE CROSSWORD

Some Novel Ideas

I was actually reminded by someone to write this article a few nights ago while attending a book-signing at Box of Delights for one of my most anticipated summer reads, Cinnamon Toast and the End of the World by Janet E. Cameron. Pick it up: it looks incredible. Between new novels, I always read a few classics each summer, starting with Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and ending with Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, two of my favorite books.

I also recommend the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Dracula by Bram Stoker, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

New releases that have struck my fancy while browsing the shelves at Box of Delights include Night Street, by Australian author Kristel Thornell; Spring, by David Szalay; The Pink Hotel, by Anna Stothard; Imposter Bride, by Nancy Richler; City of Glass, by Paul Auster; and Under the Hawthorn Tree, by Ai Mi.

One Crow Sorrow, Two Crows Joy, Three Crows a Letter, Four Crows a Boy. It’s also worth checking out Raised from the Ground, a new release by Jose Saramago, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Blindness and Cain. I’m a huge fan of Toni Morrison, and I highly recommend her novels Home, Beloved, and The Bluest Eye. Also, Tatiana de Rosnay the author of Sarah’s Key and A Secret Kept, has a new novel, The House I Loved, which should be a huge success. I also recommend John Irving’s In One Person, Alexander MacLeod’s Light Lifting, and Caroline Moorehead’s A Train In Winter.

I choose a few novels based on their title alone. I can’t resist recommending The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, The 100-Year-Old Man who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson and They Eat Puppies, Don’t They? by Christopher Buckley.

Well, that should keep you all busy for the next few months! Have fun, enjoy the summer, and keep on reading!
