ON THE COVER: Holly Carr

The cover image is a detail of a larger painting, Picking Cherries, done on silk The Acadia University Art Gallery is pleased to the solo exhibition, Holly Carr: Light In the Forest, October 4 – December 1, 2013.

The installation explores nostalgia and childhood memories and comprises large-scale paintings on silk that create an illustrated environment of storybooks where the viewer is immersed in veiled apparitions. As a child, Carr was drawn to the details that surrounded her, from wallpaper patterns and strangers to church hats, swooping ravens, and the neighbours’ underwear hanging on the line.

Carr uses these past experiences, which bridge fear and awe, to create a complex realm of narratives from her youth that interrogates the relationship between myths, fears, and safe places.

Carr, a graduate of NSCAD, has gained national acclaim for her unique style of silk painting. She has participated in numerous exhibitions and designed for theatre productions as well as public installations. She is well-known for performances where she paints live on stage, which have included a cross Canada tour with Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Café. Carr received a creation grant in support of

this work. She recognizes the support of Arts Nova Scotia and is pleased to work in partnership with the province to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians.

The opening reception will be on October 4 at 7pm with special guests. In addition, there will be an artist’s talk on October 18 at 2pm and a hands-on artist workshop on November 3. There is also the opportunity for school and community groups to book tours and hands-on workshops, facilitated by the gallery director.

The exhibition is curated by Laurie Dalton and organized by the Acadia University Art Gallery.

Support for the exhibition has been made possible with funds from gallery members and Friends.

Established in 1978 the Acadia University Art Gallery presents a year-round exhibition program of historical and contemporary art. The gallery is open Tues-Sun, 12-4pm.

FURRY FEATURE Feature Pet: PRINCESS PRINCESS

I

have lived in the Valley all my life and love it there. People are amazing here.

Earlier this year I moved to the city, but I still own a home in the Wolfville—one with a lawn that needed mowing.

I discovered early this year that my mower was broken and thus, I was in search of a replacement as cheap as possible. With the abundant spring showers that blessed us,

the lawn grew quickly and was looking more like a jungle. I wasn't sure when I would get it mowed and where I was going to get a mower, but then an email came from a friend across the street to let me know that her husband mowed it for me. It may seem like a small thing to some, but this was huge for me. Thanks, Darren, for being so kind.

Princess is the spayed and declawed sister of Duchess, who has already found a new home. The previous owner of these two sisters was unable to keep these beautiful girls.

Born on approximately February 8, 2008, Princess sports a lovely tuxedo of colour and is waiting for her own forever home.

Update on JACKSON: Still Available Jackson is a two-year-old neutered male tabby.

He is white with a very dark tail.

Jackson was a stray in Wolfville, with a leg injury which has since been attended to. Very unique colouring on this guy!

Stories from Valley musicians compiled by Mike Aubé Calling all Valley performers and songwriters! I'm looking for your gig stories and stories-behind-the-song. If you have something to share, mail them, along with a highresolution photo, to mike@mikeaube.com. This week's installment comes from yours truly by way of Ryan Hupman. I'm re-telling it from memory and Ryan told it to me many moons ago, so my apologies if I've twisted the details.

I

venture to say that most folks around here have heard of the Hupman Brothers. Those who know them might also know that they hail from a little town in southwest Nova Scotia called Shelburne.

And those who have been fortunate enough to have met their parents can begin to see where their humble and friendly pesonalities come from.

Many of the best songs come from true stories. The story behind the Hupman Brothers' "One Horse Town" is one of my all-time favourite stories-behind-the-song. Legend has it that as a young man, Ryan was sitting on the front porch with his Mom and Dad, passing a quiet summer day. I see them in my mind's eye drinking lemonade, his Mom knitting a sweater, his Dad reading a newspaper and smoking a pipe, and Ryan whittling a piece of wood, but I might be making that up.

In any case, they were talking about how small Shelburne was and his Mom remarked "Yup, this sure is a one-horse town". All at once they looked up from their respective pastimes to see a solitary horse walking down the road with no human companion to be seen.

Ryan's Dad, without skipping a beat, replied "And there it goes..." And the seeds for another great song were sown.

OPINIONS

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. Please keep things brief (under 100 words), put your name to your opinion, and don't use proper names of people or businesses when talking about others. Also, be aware that we tend to be a community-building paper; we hold the right to refuse publishing.

Water World Worries:

or the second summer in a row, a member of our community has planted a raft-sort-of-thing in the Wolfville harbour. This year's contraption is a lot bigger than last year's, when I still thought of it as a fun sort of initiative. Last year, after all, the “owner” invited anyone to use the contraption for swimming and sunning.

This year, he has also planted flags along the entrance to the Wolfville harbour, has posted “No Trespassing” signs all over his contraption, roped off parts of the area, and installed a webcam.

The contraption is full of styrofoam, which could be seen easily when it got parked at the entrance to the Wolfville dyke for the winter. I was very disturbed by its parking there. It's an ugly contraption and styrofoam is a very serious pollutant and health hazard. When exposed to the tides, it erodes easily and ends up in the food chain and in the great ocean garbage patch.

F

Response from Stephen Wilsack: I purchased foam from Truefoam. This is a Nova Scotia–made product, and Truefoam has been a solid business for many years.

Many foam applications they sell include foam for building, docks and floatation devices. The EPS has different densities as well. Their products are not an environmental hazard.

I have been utterly astonished that those responsible for maintaining the laws here have not interfered. Then I was told the other day that the “owner” of this piece of junk has planted it below the high-tide line and that it is therefore not the responsibility of the town or the RCMP but of the Department of Natural Resources. I would assume that council and the RCMP instantly informed DNR so that it can be removed, but given that it's been here for the whole season, I wonder if that's really been done.

But really, what kind of a lame excuse is that? Shall we all dump our fall cleaning junk into the harbour in a few weeks? It's below the high tide line, after all. I also have two old bicycles I need to get rid of. Into the harbour! No one will bother, right?

...please live up to your responsibilities and get this eyesore out of here pronto. It's a first-class embarrassment, health hazard, pollutant, and eyesore.

Elisabeth Kosters (Printed with permission) The signs are to protect the property and to ensure people realize this is not public property. I have always been available for tours and conversation.

Many materials have been recycled and diverted from the landfill and/or have been found along the shoreline and the tent was purchased locally from Canadian Tire.

It is not on DNR property.

Answers by Jeremy Novak: DAVID HOVELL Where did the concept for the Magic Wine Bus come from?

From a joint partnership involving the WBDC, Town of Wolfville and area wineries. We all sat around a table and the idea gelled.

What's been the response so far this second year? Is it meeting your expectations? Excellent response. Focus this year has been on enhancing the quality of the visitor experience. On target to exceed our budget expectations.

Where do you find the majority of the ridership is coming from and what impact does it have on the local economy? 70% of guests are from outside the Annapolis Valley with a significant portion from HRM. As for impact, we are in the middle of research which will quantify the impact.

Do you see the bus continuing next year? Yes!

t has been a month since school started and things are already getting busy again here at Acadia. We’ve realized that “midterm season” is a myth: there are always midterms, so midterm season is basically the entire semester. Lots of assignments are being passed in, essays being researched and written, and labs being conducted. We’re learning lots.

October is always a very exciting month for Acadia students outside of the classroom. We’re enthusiastically looking forward to Homecoming, October 17-20. There will be the traditional football game on October 19 at 2pm, as well as many other athletic events, including soccer, hockey, and rugby action.

We’re also looking forward to the Bulmer Race on October 18. A highlight for homecoming this year will definitely be the outdoor Joel Plaskett concert on October 18!

Homecoming weekend will also feature the U-4 Symposium: “Undergraduate Research: Power and Possibility”.

For the second year in a row, our residences are competing in the House Cup competition, based on the premise from the Harry Potter series.

Residences get points for participating in various events throughout the year. Various events will have House Cup points up for grabs in the near future, including several Halloween-themed events.

NATIVE SPIRITS: Here and Now Before Time A Special Public Event

I

n recognition of Mi'kmaq History Month and Acadia University's Memorandum of Understanding with the Confederacy of Mainland Mi'kmaq, and working in collaboration with Gerald Gloade, Aboriginal artists and artisans from across the province have been invited to showcase their art at Acadia University's First Aboriginal Art and Literature Mawio'mi (Gathering) in the Theatre Festival Building on October 10: the exhibit and sale will run from 3-6 pm and 9-10 pm. Author and activist Thomas King will read from his new book The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native Peoples in North America, at 7pm in the theatre. The reading will be followed by a question-and-answer period and a book signing. The Box of Delights Bookstore will have books for sale before and after the reading (6-7 and 9-10). With special thanks to the Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq, the Indigenous Student Society at Acadia, Welkaqnik Aboriginal Gathering Space at Acadia, Authors@Acadia, contributing Faculty, Departments, and Staff, the offices of the President and Vice President Academic, the Canada Council, and with inspiration from historic, founding and enduring treaties of peace and friendship.

SISTERS IN SPIRIT

O

n October 4, the 4th annual community-campus Sisters in Spirit event, 4-7 pm, will start at Welkaqnik Aboriginal Gathering Space (52 University Ave) and then proceed, in a Walk of Remembrance, to KCIC Garden Room. To create a visual representation of the approximately 600 missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls across Canada, contribute your lightly worn or new shoes to the interactive art exhibit in KCIC foyer the day of the event. The Indigenous Student Society of Acadia is also collecting red dresses that will be hung around campus to raise awareness of SIS. This year, Chiefs have asked that missing and murdered Aboriginal men and boys, and families, be remembered and honoured.

Although Canada's premiers called for a national inquiry in July 2013, the federal government has rejected national and international calls for a national inquiry into violence against Aboriginal women and girls.

A HOCKEY HOMECOMING

Citizens’ trophy. It didn’t take long to “hatch” the plan once local hockey historian David Carter, David Hunter, President of the Windsor Hockey Heritage Society, and I got to talking.

This Thanksgiving weekend there’s a very special homecoming in Windsor.

Excitement is growing for the return home of the 1903 Windsor Citizens’ hockey trophy. The trophy had been awarded to the best senior hockey team in Windsor from 1903. It is one of the oldest hockey trophies in Canadian history and was last won by the Brooklyn team in 1952.

And yes, the trophy is coming home to Nova Scotia this Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanks to the support and generosity of the Windsor Hockey Heritage Society, it will be on permanent public display at the Windsor Hockey Heritage Museum in Haliburton House for everyone to enjoy once again.

The trophy recently made provincial and national headlines after I discovered it in a Toronto antique store. It had been purchased by the antiques dealer at auction from the estate of prominent New Brunswick businessman and philanthropist Mitchell Franklin.

I work and live in Toronto. While on a lunchtime walk several weeks ago, I was drawn by a powerful force into the very antiques store where the magnificent sterling silver 1903 Windsor Citizens’ hockey trophy was on display.

I have a natural love affair with the Maritimes, springing from my family roots in western Newfoundland. My love is also rooted in Wolfville, where my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter live.

On seeing the trophy, it was love at first sight! It brought out my love of hockey. It also brought out the love for doing the right thing—of a group of Canadians working together for the public good by helping another group of Canadians.

It was then and there that the Toronto-Windsor Hockey Friendship Society was born.

Perhaps the Mayor of Windsor and the Warden of West Hants say it best in their letter sent to the Toronto-Windsor Hockey Friendship Society on September 26: “It is a unique and special occasion when a group of citizens from one of the largest cities in North America come together to help a small community in Nova Scotia. But then again, Canada is a unique and special place to live…and Canadian hockey fans are a special breed.”

As for me, for the time being, I will continue to take my lunchtime walks and eventually retire to become a “relic hunter”!

The Who s Who

Paul Dunn...A Dunn Deal I

really enjoy writing this column. I get to meet so many interesting people. Sometimes I’ve seen these people on the street or at the Farmers’ Market, and then down the road we connect for a Who’s Who profile, and it’s a great feeling. This is sort of how Paul Dunn came to me. I remember seeing Paul here and there, and then a few weeks ago he agreed to be profiled here. And what an interesting guy!

Paul Dunn lives in New Minas with his wife Gail and their three children: Jackson, Abby and Ashton. Paul and Gail moved to Nova Scotia 20 years ago so that Gail could attend Acadia Divinity College. She is now a Baptist Minister and pastors a church in Lockhartville.

It was a move that they enjoyed and found very beneficial, as they both love living in Nova Scotia. I know this isn’t about Gail, but she does play a huge factor in Paul’s being, so I have to give a little space to her (thank you, Gail!).

Paul has worked in all areas of homebuilding.

He is currently employed with the local home building company, Denim Homes.

Paul also opened a non-commission realestate company in January of this year called HomesByOwner.com. You may have seen the signs around town. Paul owns the HomesByOwner.com rights to all of Nova Scotia except Halifax. He enjoys building this business and finds it satisfying dealing with homeowners and businesses, enabling and empowering them to sell their homes themselves and therefore saving them thousands of dollars in commissions. For example, a couple from Kentville saved over $20,000 in commission on the sale of their property by using the services of Paul’s business.

tively low prices and Paul works with a local broker who can provide other services and can also work with local real-estate agents.

I know all that business stuff isn’t overly interesting. Paul’s got more to him then what you’ve just read. Paul has played guitar and sung with the group Shoulder to Shoulder (STS) for six years. Paul is a contracted songwriter for Perchance Publishing in New Minas and is a dedicated member of SOCAN. Along with singing and writing songs, Paul has managed to write two children’s books, and even went a step further by reading them to children all over the province during literacy week. Paul has a new children’s book in the works (still waiting for illustrations) called Billy, the Moth Who Wanted to be a Butterfly, so keep an eye out for that sometime next year.

Since 1992, Studio Rally has been an exciting year-round part of Nova Scotia cultural life. During Studio Rally Weekend, Nova Scotia artists and artisans throw open their studio doors, and locals and tourists alike, Studio Rally maps in hand, hit the highways and byways to pay few calls.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP This is a great opportunity to meet the artists in their studios, view some of their work, and gain insight into the creative process. On Studio Rally's website, www. studiorally.ca/guide, you can see the guide for the entire province and view artists’ studios/listings by selecting a region.

Studio Rally brochures are available at most art galleries, participating artists studios, tourist bureaus around the province, and other locations.

David Howells is one of the artists participating in this year's event. He's excited about his first year doing this event and is thankful to the folks at Studio Rally for choosing one of his images as this year's Studio Rally Weekend event poster.

Although the Studio Rally artists participate in the guide with all intentions of greeting you on Studio Rally Weekend, if you're travelling any distance, we suggest you call ahead to avoid a possible unexpected absence and any disappointment.

Enjoy this year's Studio Rally David Howells

Studio Rally Artist Profile:

Paul says, “One of the highlights of singing and playing with the group STS was when the twin towers were struck down in 2001, many of the flights were rerouted to Greenwood and we were asked to play at a moment’s notice for the many people who were stranded here while they figured out what to do. It was an incredible joy to be able to play for them and add some comfort to their stay.” The group also played in schools all over Nova Scotia during Black History month in February. They sang and led discussions about the struggles of the slaves and how they overcame adversity.

David Howells

Paul’s two biggest passions are his faith and his family. Working can consume a lot of a person’s life, but Paul finds a balance and thoroughly enjoys interacting with his kids and watching them grow. He sure knows how to get things DUNN! Best of luck to you Paul!

Hello Kings South candidates, please provide 100ish words on your stance on the issue of fracking in Kings County.

Shane Buchan, Progressive Conservative Party of NS candidate I've had many discussions about fracking with two geologists on my campaign team. If done properly, the dangers can be minimized, but proper regulations would certainly be needed and, most likely, be quite costprohibitive.

Overall, I'm not in favour of this method of extracting energy from the area. I've seen what fracking has done in Pennsylvania, it's a scary wasteland. I'm much more in favour of looking at energy options offshore before opting for those onshore.

First and foremost, I'm here to represent the people of Kings South.

Don Quixote – Royal Opera House October 18, Al Whittle Theatre

The adventures of Cervantes’ bumbling knight have been the inspiration for many ballets, best-known of which is the Don Quixote of Marius Petipa with music by Ludwig Minkus. All the elements of the great classical ballets are here: emotion, drama and vivid characters. Royal Ballet Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta has danced the virtuoso role of Basilio many times. So it is especially exciting that he is creating this new production for The Royal Ballet, with designs by Tim Hatley, who will give a modern edge to a broadly traditional staging. The music (here arranged by Martin Yates, who also conducts) is full of Spanish flair and atmosphere, with a characteristic clarity of melody and rhythm that makes it so instantly appealing. Don Quixote is a wonderfully entertaining ballet, known not only for its grand pas de deux, but for the “white act” visions of the beautiful Dulcinea and many lively scenes—a crowded port, an uproarious tavern—that bring the whole Company on stage.

Sheila G. Richardson, Green Party of NS candidate The Green Party of Nova Scotia does not support onshore gas production by drilling or hydraulic fracturing or futher investment in off-shore oil and gas. We oppose the fluid waste from hydraulic fracturing in other provinces coming into Nova Scotia for treatment, storage or disposal.

Onshore gas production from unconventional fields like shale carries high risk, including significant impacts on groundwater.

In areas, such as Kennetcook, Hants County, we oppose fracking due to the possibility of radun and uranium being released. We believe that the safety of the community is at risk and would oppose such developments.

Keith Irving, NS’s Liberal Party candidate Voters from one end of Kings South to the other have made it known to me that they have deep concerns about fracking.

I support the moratorium on fracking first called for by the Liberals and as set out in the Liberal Platform. I also oppose the importation of fracking waste from other jurisdictions which the NDP have allowed and I will continue to oppose the importation of fracking waste. The Liberal platform also calls for a ban on the importation of fracking waste. I also believe that any analysis of risks associated with fracking needs to be conducted independent of government, with the methodology of the research and the results made available to all Nova Scotians. I believe that the fracking discussion in Nova Scotia should not be driven by applications, but by comprehensive research on the risks and community consultation.

Ramona Jennex, New Democratic Party NS incumbent The NDP will not allow hydraulic fracturing in Nova Scotia unless Nova Scotians know that it will not harm the environment. Cape Breton University president David Wheeler is leading an independent review of the social, economic, environmental and health impacts of hydraulic fracturing.

The Wheeler review will look at all aspects of fracking, including storage and disposal of liquids; its conclusions will guide the development of public policy on fracking. No fracking is now underway in Nova Scotia.

Rodney MacDonald’s Conservative government allowed fracking in the Kennetcook area despite growing concerns.

The Liberals have ignored serious public concerns by proposing that the province pick “green fracking” as a sector for economic development.

FOR THE SECOND YEAR - WOLFVILLE DECLARED ONE OF THE TOP CULTURE DESTINATIONS IN THE MARITIMES he Wolfville Business Development Corporation (WBDC) is honored to announce that Wolfville has been declared, again by CBC TV, as one of the top 10 cultural destinations in the Maritime provinces.

On a recent CBC Television production of Maritimes Cultureville, host Colleen Jones highlighted the many distinct cultural attributes of 10 Maritime communities. The selection of communities was based on submissions by Maritimers and an evaluation by CBC. Wolfville, along with the Village of Canning, was in this year’s top 10 culturally vibrant communities in the Maritime provinces.

CBC TV celebrated Wolfville as the home of Acadia University and Al Whittle Theatre where music and theatre are “nurtured” and as a community where “artist genius shines.” It also accentuated Wolfville’s slow-food and wine experiences as offering new economic growth opportunities for Wolfville and its surrounding communities.

Wolfville is a fertile culture of both the head and the hands, influenced as much by academia as the soil. It has a sense of confidence and creativity that keeps it charged with a unique brand of energy. Wolfville sets the stage now for world-class experiences ranging from distinctive boutiques, world class accommodations and dining to the Wolfville Magic Winery Bus, Deep Roots Music Festival, Devour! The Food Film Fest and much more.

For more info see Mike Uncorked, p.15

“We are delighted to receive this important recognition and equally proud of the renowned reputation that Wolfville is developing,” says David Hovell, executive director of the WBDC. “As we continue our work to establish Wolfville as the premier food and wine destination of the Atlantic provinces, it is exciting to see opportunities to grow enterprise in Wolfville emerging.”

The Wolfville Business Development Corporation is an independent corporation that represents the interests of Wolfville businesses and business people.

October 3 - 17, 2013 Massaged Kale Salad with Orange Supremes, Red Onion, and Candied Walnuts, drizzled with Roasted-Garlic-and-Cumin Vinaigrette

Chef Kerina Dykstra | ww.letseatns.com 902-300-1268 | kerina@letseatns.com

The fall months are now upon us, but that doesn't mean we have to give up on salads! Avondale Sky Winery held the first annual Garlic Fest last weekend, and I was lucky enough to be one of three chefs picked to demo anything garlic! This lovely kale salad was one of my submissions that had the crowd asking for more. This super-food salad is perfect for the colder months and looks beautiful any way you serve it!

Enjoy and as always, Have a Tasty Day! ~Chef Kerina

Salad Ingredients:

Vinaigrette Preparation:

Preparation:

Candied Walnuts:

2. Pour sugar into a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom. Cook sugar on medium heat.

As soon as the sugar begins to melt, stir with a wooden spoon, keep stirring until all the sugar has melted and begins to caramelize.

Add the walnuts to the pan, quickly stirring to coat each piece with the caramelized sugar.

2 large oranges, juice and zest reserved 1 bunch kale, stalks removed and discarded, leaves cut into bite-sized pieces 1 lemon, juiced Kosher salt 1 small red onion, thinly sliced Handful candied walnuts (see below)

Vinaigrette:

Orange juice and zest Remaining lemon juice 4-5 roasted garlic cloves, finely chopped (see below) 2 tbsp honey 1 tsp ground cumin 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 c. extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling Salt and pepper to taste

Using the bowl with the reserved orange juice, whisk together the remaining lemon juice, roasted garlic and orange zest. Add honey and cumin and whisk until combined.

Slowly drizzle in 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup of olive oil while whisking, until the vinaigrette comes together. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.

1⁄2 c. sugar 1 1⁄2 c. raw walnut halves 1⁄4 tsp kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Use middle rack in oven. Lay walnuts out in a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn.

Remove from oven and let cool on a rack.

Roasted Garlic:

Preheat oven to 400° F. Using a sharp knife, cut tops off a whole head of garlic, just enough so the cloves are exposed. Place in an oven-proof dish, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cover with tin foil and roast for 20-25 minutes or until soft. Remove and cool. Squeeze the roasted cloves from the bulb. Place unused cloves in the fridge for another use.

Building the salad:

Using a sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over a bowl to catch juice, cut between membranes to release 3. Working very quickly, spread them out on segments (supremes) and place them in a the same sheet pan. Use two forks to sepaseparate bowl. Then squeeze the remaining rate the walnuts from each other. Sprinkle juice from the oranges into the first bowl, set the nuts with the salt. Let cool completely. aside.

In a large serving bowl, add the kale, half of the lemon juice, a drizzle of oil and a little Stardrop is brought to you by: kosher salt. Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside The Box of Delights while you make the vinaigrette.

A Delightful Little Bookshop Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the kale, on Main St Wolfville toss to coat. Remove half of the kale and 542-9511 www.boxofdelightsbooks.com arrange some red onion, orange supremes and a few candied walnuts over top. Place remaining kale on top and repeat with remaining ingredients. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette if desired.

Can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.

October 3 - 17, 2013

Copyright 2013 Rob Brezsny freewillastrology.com

Horoscopes for the week of October 3rd

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In David

Markson's experimental novel Wittgenstein's Mistress, the protagonist fantasizes about the winter she lived at the Louvre Museum in Paris. She says that to keep warm she made big fires and burned some of the museum's precious artifacts. I'm hoping you won't do anything remotely resembling that mythic event in the coming week, Taurus. I understand that you may be going through a cold spell -- a time when you're longing for more heat and light. But I beg you not to sacrifice enduring beauty in order to ameliorate your temporary discomfort. This, too, shall pass.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): "Don’t say you want love," writes San Francisco author Stephen Sparks. "Say you want the morning light through a paint-flecked window; say you want a gust of wind scraping leaves along the pavement and hills rolling toward the sea; say you want to notice, in a tree you walk past every day, the ruins of a nest exposed as the leaves fall away; a slow afternoon of conversation in a shadowy bar; the smell of bread baking." That's exactly the oracle I want to give you, Gemini. In my opinion, you can't afford to be generic or blank in your requests for love. You must be highly specific.

You've got to ask for the exact feelings and experiences that will boost the intensity of your lust for life. (Here's Sparks' Tumblr page: invisiblestories.tumblr.com.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): "The world breaks

Oak Grove everyone, andCemetery, afterward, many are stronger Kentville, in the broken places," wrote Cancerian writer Ernest Hemingway.

October 9th 8pm By my estimation, my fellow Crabs, we are now entering a phase of our astrological cycle when we can make ClockTower Park, dramatic progress in healing the broken places Wolfville, in ourselves. But even better than that: As we October 10th 8:30pm The Blockhouse,

Windsor, October 11th 8pm

deal dynamically with the touchy issues that caused our wounds, we will become stronger than we were before we got broken.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let's hope you have

given deep thought to understanding who you are at this moment of your life. Let's also hope that you have developed a clear vision of the person you would like to become in, say, three years. How do you feel about the gap between the current YOU and the future YOU? Does it oppress you? Does it motivate you? Maybe a little of both? I'll offer you the perspective of actress Tracee Ellis Ross. "I am learning every day," she told Uptown Magazine, "to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me."

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do the words

"purity" and "purify" have any useful purpose?

Or have they been so twisted by religious fundamentalists and mocked by decadent cynics that they're mostly just farcical? I propose that you take them seriously in the coming week. Give them your own spin. For instance, you could decide to purify yourself of petty attitudes and trivial desires that aren't in alignment with your highest values.

You might purify yourself of self-deceptions that have gotten you into trouble and purify yourself of resentments that have blocked your creative energy. At the very least, Virgo, cleanse your body with extra-healthy food, good sleep, massage, exercise, and sacred sex.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I periodically hike alone into the serene hills north of San Francisco and perform a set of my songs for the birds, insects, squirrels, and trees.

Recently I discovered that British comedian Milton Jones tried a similar experiment.

He did his stand-up act for a herd of cows on a farm in Hertfordshire. I can't speak for Jones' motivations, but one of the reasons I do my nature shows is because they bring out my wild, innocent, generous spirit. Now is a good time for you to do something similar for yourself, Libra. What adventures can you undertake that will fully activate your wild, innocent, generous spirit?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you anxious and agitated, afraid that you're careening out of control? Is there a flustered voice in your head moaning, "Stop the insanity!"?

Well, relax, dear Scorpio. I promise you that you no longer have to worry about going cray-cray. Why? Because you have already

28 Kentucky Court New Minas, NS B4N 4N2

gone cray-cray, my friend. That is correct.

You slipped over the threshold a few days ago, and have been living in Bonkersville ever since. And since you are obviously still alive and functioning, I think it's obvious that the danger has passed. Here's the new truth: If you surrender to the uproar, if you let it teach you all it has to teach you, you will find a lively and intriguing kind of peace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To give

you the oracle that best matches your current astrological omens, I've borrowed from "Sweetness," a poem by Stephen Dunn. I urge you to memorize it or write it on a piece of paper that you will carry around with you everywhere you go. Say Dunn's words as if they were your own: "Often a sweetness comes / as if on loan, stays just long enough // to make sense of what it means to be alive, / then returns to its dark / source. As for me, I don’t care // where it’s been, or what bitter road / it’s traveled / to come so far, to taste so good."

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In her

book Teaching a Stone to Talk, Annie Dillard apologizes to God and Santa Claus and a nice but eccentric older woman named Miss White, whom she knew as a child. "I am sorry I ran from you," she writes to them. "I am still running from that knowledge, that eye, that love from which there is no refuge. For you meant only love, and love, and I felt only fear, and pain." Judging from your current astrological omens, Capricorn, I'd say that now would be a good time for you to do something similar: Take an inventory of the beauty and love and power you have sought to escape and may still be trying to avoid. You're finally ready to stop running and embrace at least some of that good stuff.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Dragon Lives Again is a 1977 film that tells the story of martial arts legend Bruce Lee fighting bad guys in the underworld. Among the villains he defeats are Dracula, James Bond, the Godfather, Clint Eastwood, and the Exorcist.

I urge you to use this as inspiration, Aquarius.

Create an imaginary movie in your mind's eye. You're the hero, of course. Give yourself a few superpowers, and assemble a cast of scoundrels from your past -- anyone who has done you wrong. Then watch the epic tale unfold as you do with them what Bruce Lee did to Dracula and company. Yes, it's only pretend. But you may be surprised at how

much this helps you put your past behind you.

Think of it as a purgative meditation that will free you to move in the direction of the best possible future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): After studying

the myths and stories of many cultures throughout history, Joseph Campbell arrived at a few conclusions about the nature of the human quest. Here's one that's apropos for you right now: "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." He came up with several variations on this idea, including this one: "The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for." I urge you to consider making this your operative hypothesis for the coming weeks, Pisces.

MIKE Uncorked:

ELVIS…. DUNN TO PERFECTION!!!

Thane Dunn has been a busy man since his last stop in Wolfville. The 2009 International World Champion Elvis Tribute Artist has had a very hectic touring schedule, has changed bands, and even had time to win the World's Largest Elvis Gospel Competition. He will be returning to Festival Theatre with his new show Elvis on Tour, Saturday, Oct 12. Thane’s annual Valley show, with his eight-piece band The Cadillac Kings, was in Windsor last year; this October, Thane returns to the Festival Theatre to entertain the masses with his stellar showmanship and his incredible giving spirit.

I have seen Thane perform three times before and he is nothing short of amazing!

Thane has become widely regarded as the very best Elvis tribute artist in the world.

He is the full Elvis package, folks, from his natural resemblance to uncanny vocals and choreography. He has the ability to mesmerize his audience and create the illusion that you are seeing the King himself. Even people who have seen the real Elvis Presley in concert say, Thane is so spot-on that it’s like seeing the King of Rock and Roll all over again. I can safely say, even not having been born before Elvis died, that I have seen the next best thing to the man himself.

The new show, Elvis on Tour, will have all your favorite Elvis rock, country and gospel classics plus lots of his songs that people love but don’t often get a chance to hear. Thane’s new Cadillac Kings include three East Coast Music Award winners along with an impressive array of amazing players.

You’ll see authentic replicas of classic Elvis stage costumes, and Thane always has some surprises up his sequined sleeves for the audiences. Trust me, this is a show you don’t want to miss. You can visit thanedunn.net website for photos, videos and information about Thane and his band, or go to youtube to see footage of this unique performer.

You’ll swear it’s the king himself.

Thane says, “I think the show constantly gets better. We've always gotten a fantastic reception in Wolfville but I know this show will blow them away. Even one of my new suits actually has a stud which fell off of Elvis’s original suit in 1972 during the filming of Elvis on Tour.”

The glitz and glamour of Thane is great, but behind this show is a humanitarian and very caring individual. Two years ago Thane lost his father to cancer and shortly after his now wife Melanie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She is a real fighter and has been cancer free for over a year now. Thane has helped Ovarian Cancer Canada financially in the past and will be donating a portion of proceeds from the Wolfville show to the Nova Scotia chapter.

On Saturday, October 12 at 7:30, catch Thane and his band as they raise the roof Elvis style at the Festival Theatre in Wolfville.

Tickets are on sale at the Acadia Box office.

Call 542-5500 or visit the website at boxoffice.acadiau.ca. I must stress that this is a family show, perfect for all ages and a great way to introduce your kids to the music and persona of one of the greatest entertainers ever. I’m all shook up, and the show hasn’t even started yet! ~ Mike Butler

Phone:

uess who called me at work last week?

Let me put all your suspicious minds to rest… it was Elvis!!

Well, okay, not THE Elvis but it was Elvis Tribute Artist Thane Dunn, and that’s close enough for me! I have to say that the experience of chatting with “Elvis” on the phone was very disruptive to my state of composure because I am a huge Elvis fan and Thane Dunn is an incredible Elvis tribute artist. Thane was calling because in the past I’ve helped promote his show through very loud word of mouth and through my Uncorked Articles here in the Grapevine. He asked if I would lend the same courtesy for his upcoming show in Wolfville. He barely had half the question out and I was at the computer starting to type.
