This issue has a wine focus (pages 12 & 13) because there's always plenty of exciting progress being made in the industry. From grape stomping to corn boils and live music, every winery has something special planned for this year's Fall Wine Festival (September 13 – October 14). There are currently fourteen wineries in the province making grape wine, and there projected to be at least twenty by the year 2020. Slow & steady...

Editor's Update COMMUNI TY

++++++++

Join in on the Tenth Beet!

This approach to growth has properly served the Deep Roots Music Festival as well. Now in their tenth season (congratulations!), Wolfville is gearing up for another weekend music celebration (September 27-29). The main thing I've come to understand about the Festival over the years is to have faith and confidence in the committee's selection of performers. Once again, I don't recognize too many in the line-up, but that's all part of the fun! Deep Roots exposes us to an incredible array of new and local music and in turn, it's satisfying to see these perform-

Just as the plodding theme is running throughout this update, don't go rushing through this issue. There is a lot packed into it! Thank you so much for your continued interest.

FURRY FEATURE Feature Pet: JACKSON

W

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!

hile hiking around Cape Chignecto, I came across what can only be described as trail magic. At the bottom of the eight-switchback hill into Mill Brook, someone (who knows who?) left two still-cold beers in the middle of the trail for whomever might be in need of such a delight.

Update on BOOTS: Still Available Boots is a female black-andwhite cat who is about two years old. She was found in the Wolfville area. Boots has now been tested, spayed and vaccinated and is ready to find her new home.

Thank you, whoever you are.

They tasted oh, so good, unbelievably good. After hiking a grueling 46 K, nothing could be as wonderful as a sweet, cold, delicious beer. Hikers treating hikers with thoughtful acts, no wonder I like hiking so much.

ANNAPOLIS VALLEY CAR DEALERS ANNOUNCE “REV UP FOR HOSPICE� CAMPAIGN

T

he final push is on for building a hospice and palliative care centre in the Annapolis Valley. That’s why the Valley’s automobile dealerships have rallied to launch the “REV UP for Hospice� campaign!

The campaign runs from Sept 2 to Dec 31.

Participating dealerships from Windsor to Middleton have committed to a matching-gift program that aims to raise $80,000, all for the hospice and palliative care centre slated to be built at Valley Regional Hospital. The Hospice and Palliative Care Centre at Valley Regional Hospital is the final project to be funded by the “Our Community Our Health� campaign.

The centre will support patients and families as they deal with life-limiting illness.

The money raised during the “REV Up for Hospice� campaign will be counted towards an ambitious $8 million goal. Over $7.3 million has been raised, already funding several improvements at Valley Regional Hospital.

Participating dealers include Best Toyota, Cornwallis Chevrolet, Connell Motors, Bruce Auto Group, Kentville Chrysler, Kentville Mazda, Kentville Nissan, Valley Ford, Valley Volkswagen, Forbes Kia and Pothier Motors. www.ourcommunityourhealth.ca

Although this is Hope-Simpson’s first adult novel, she is no newcomer to the world of writing. Her award-winning children’s book Fiddles: Journey of an Acadian Mouse (Nimbus 2012). Beautifully illustrated by well-known local artist Doretta Groenendyk, it tells the story of the expulsion of the Acadians from Grand PrÊ through the eyes of a family of mice who live in the Dubois household. !# !

riting a song is hard, except when it’s easy. Easy songs occur to me about once per decade; the difficult ones, about once a year. In other words, my repertoire needed a boost. So last November I decided to write 30 poems in 30 days. About 50% of what I wrote that month was crap, and a good portion of the remaining poems decided they liked being poetry rather than songs and that was that. This left me with two new songs. I was thrilled - I had just doubled my usual output! They’re both about winter – that happens when you write in November. I haven’t been able to perform them for a while.

People get upset when you sing songs called “Wintertimeâ€? in August. The weather’s finally getting cooler again. Come by TAN CafĂŠ this Tuesday and I’ll play them for you. Then you can play, Compiled by Mike Aube and tell me the story behind your song. www.mikeaube.com

f you could walk away from your life and begin anew, where would you go?

What would you do? “. . . Lila Hope-Simpson has a gift for making mundane, exceptional.�

Would you plan ahead, or the would it be spontaneous? —A. K. Henderson, author of Lilacs in the Snow.

Lila Hope-Simpson’s novel Stepping Out explores these questions as the protagonist, Lydia Starr, makes her way from small-town Nova Scotia to Montreal to start afresh. But of course, before she can truly find peace and fulfillment, she discovers that running away is not the answer. First she must go back and face the adversities that drove her away in the first place.

Stories from Valley musicians compiled by Mike AubĂŠ

LILA HOPE SIMPSON: WRITING WITH A VIEW

As a long-time columnist for The Kings County Advertiser & Register, Hope-Simpson wrote the Positive Parenting columns, focusing on parents and families. These columns and stories were published into a compilation entitled The Clothesline Collection. Topics range from date rape to toilet training, vegan meals to child care. A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the IWK Health Centre Foundation.

These topics came easily for Hope-Simpson, who has a background in Early Childhood Education and is currently the Director of the Home & Heart Family Day Care Agency, which oversees approved child-care homes from Hantsport to Middleton. When she’s not working or writing up a storm, Hope-Simpson can be found walking her dogs, Chester & Bruno, planning her next trip, sharing coffee with a friend at a local cafÊ, rug-hooking, or enjoying the view of the Valley from the back deck of her Newtonville home, built by her husband, artist-blacksmith Ian Hope-Simpson.

Books are available at Box of Delights and other Valley stores or by ordering directly from lila@ hope-simpson.com- Don’t forget to LIKE her ‘Lila Hope-Simpson, Author’ facebook page.

Good food begins with the raw ingredients. For Chef Dave Smart, this means beginning with the seed catalogues and selecting the best varieties that will be drawn into his dishes. The small-plate philosophy he adheres to means that the table is an ever-changing tableaux of flavour, texture, and sensation. Dave returns to classical French cuisine for guidance in technique, but transforms what we may think a dish to be into something contemporary, imaginative, and memorable.

The atmosphere is modern and simple. Sleek lines of the furniture are paired against panels of reclaimed lumber. The Maître d’ brought us to our table, and from there we watched the sun set against the dykes.

As it grew dark, the glow from the candle on our table shared a luminance with the street lights. How unexpectedly romantic.

Cocktails Temporary Vacation. This tequila cocktail was sweet and citrusy and marked with a smoked sea-salt rim. A great cocktail. Period.

Bob Herman. A delicious cousin of the Old Fashion, if you will. But the mystery still remains: who is Bob Herman? We know he likes Bourbon.

1st Course

THE HERBIVORE: Polenta & Goat Cheese Agnolotti & L’Acadie Vineyards Estate L’Acadie Blanc 2012. Ribbons of zucchini, sweet roasted cherry tomatoes...warm and peppery, this agnolotti brought out the bright nature of the L’Acadie. When executed with careful forkmanship, every bite paired each sensation with its counterpart, in a perfect duet.

THE CARNIVORE: Pan Seared Halibut & Domain de Grand Pré Vintner’s Reserve Muscat 2011. A beautiful portion of halibut sat within a light but complex lobster bouillabaisse. The rich broth paired wonderfully with the notes of citrus and sweetness of the Muscat.

2nd Course

THE HERBIVORE: Faux Pho & Gaspereau Vineyards Riesling 2011. This course came as a do-it-yourself kit. Now, when I complete an IKEA dresser, there are no screws left behind. I’m sort of the same way with my Faux Pho. All in, this dish was spicy and sweet, savory and smooth, crisp and supple. The tofu played beautifully against the light garnishes, while the chilli

THE CARNIVORE: Mushroom and Barley Risotto & Luckett Vineyards L’Acadie Blanc 2011. From the soft texture of the mushroom ragu to the endless pleasure of beurre noisette cream with truffle oil, notes of citrus to the “pop” provided by the barley, this dish brought out the best in all of its ingredients.

3rd Course

THE CARNIVORE: Duck Breast (3oz) & Blomidon Estate’s Baco Noir 2012. There was a real sense of artistry behind this dish. Perfectly cooked, the sliced duck breast was ornamented with savory granola and micro daikon radish greens, all accompanied by an apple puree, giving the hakurei turnip and the rest of this dish a natural sweetness.

4th Course

THE HERBIVORE: Field Berry Consommé. Fresh berries and tart lemon ice cream sat alongside the mossy green Matcha Green Tea sponge cake. It was a delightful feast fit for forest fairies—or one very satisfied Herbivore.

THE CARNIVORE: Dark Chocolate Ganache.

A wonderful finale to the evening. Three scallop-like nuggets of dark chocolate ganache, mantled by salted caramel ice cream (made in-house) and transfixed by a decorative waffle tuile wave. A monument of yum.

A Final Note With the evening drawing to a close, the Carnivore asked, as he always tends to do, “One more drink at the bar?” In this case, we might have: Front & Central even has a lounge licence now, which means, we might have even started and ended our evening at the bar for that matter. But somewhere up the hill, a tiny toddler is likely waiting for a lullaby and a tuck in bed, all warmth and sweetness until she wakes up screaming at 2am. No, for now we’ll just depart, sufficiently satisfied, sufficiently suffonsified, sufficient sufficed—or whatever it is you say.

SHINERAMA 2013 A HUGE SUCCESS! Day is a yearly tradition across Canada for many universities. Hundreds of students Shine are deployed into various communities to raise money for Shinerama.

What is Shinerama? It’s the largest post-secondary school fundraiser in Canada and raises money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis Research.

This year’s Shine Day was well attended and well supported by students as well as the community. Shinerama Coordinator Meg Todd says, “A huge thank-you to Wolfville and surrounding communities for helping Shinerama reach the highest-ever Shine Day total in Acadia history!” A total of $15,016.36 was raised on Saturday, and that would not have been possible without the generous donations of individuals from across the Valley and beyond.

Meg has spent numerous hours organizing the campaign and has proven to be hardworking, dedicated and passionate about this cause. She says, "My hope is that students will remain excited and continue to advocate for Shinerama for years to come. My hope in coordinating this campaign for the past two years is that we have raised the bar on awareness in our community and at Acadia.” She reflects on her position of the past two years: “We have made Shinerama a success, and become a large contributor to helping find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

I have loved coordinating the past two campaigns and I personally want to thank everyone

“This was the hardest thing I’ve ever written."

Speaking Up

UPCOMING LECTURE: Nutrition Research and Human Experimentation at the Shubenacadie Residential School in Historical Context

for making this an amazing day and making a difference! All students and community members who took part in Shine Day should feel proud that they donated their time and donations to such an important cause."

Engaging and empowering students in government, with keynote speaker Elizabeth May he idea for a conference addressing student empowerment in government regarding environmental issues sprang out of a meeting of the Acadia Environmental Society/ Sustainability Office (AESO) last year, where attendees expressed the desire to plan an event that would bring students together and empower them to take action. Young people may often feel powerless because their voices may not be heard nor respected among decision-makers. In this day and age, it is becoming increasingly important for younger generations to speak up and make it clear that we have a stake in our future, that we need to be included in decisions regarding our environment. But how can we ensure that our voices are heard at all levels of government, be they municipal, provincial or federal?

T

The AESO hopes to provide you with some answers during a three-day conference on October 25, 26 and 27, held at Acadia University.

This conference is being made possible through a joint effort between the AESO and the Atlantic Youth Environmental Council (AYEC), a newly formed student network consisting of students from university campuses across Atlantic Canada and the New England area of the U.S.A. The AESO, in cooperation with AYEC, is in the process of planning a wide variety of interesting activities on relevant subjects, including environmental leadership, business and the environment, greening of campuses, gardening, environmental problems, waste avoidance, government, and much more.

There will be opportunities for studentled workshops, debates and discussions, problem-solving, connecting with members of

Saturday morning, Dr. Mosby will meet with the Indigenous Students Society of Acadia (ISSA) at Welkaqnik, the Aboriginal Gathering Space at Acadia University.

Throughout this past summer, Dr. Mosby's research into nutrition science, Aboriginal Affairs and residential schools made national and international headlines. Through archival research into the history of nutrition in

government, and a good variety of hands-on and sit-down activities to choose from.

The keynote speaker for this conference will be none other than Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, once executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada. In the past federal election in 2011, May became the first member of the Green Party in Canadian history to be elected to the House of Commons. She is an MP for the Saanich-Gulf Islands riding (British Columbia). May has an extensive background in environmental activism, environmental law and politics, and the AESO is thrilled to welcome such an experienced and successful person to Wolfville. Elizabeth May’s keynote address is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, at 7pm in the Huggins Science Hall. The event will be open to the public, and will be followed with a reception in the Garden Room of the KC Irving Environmental Science Building.

The conference is open to all university and college students, so stay tuned for more information! Registration will be opening shortly, but in the meantime the AESO is looking for volunteers to assist with planning and logistics.

If you would like to be involved, please contact Volunteer Coordinator: Stephanie McGlashan, at smcglashan@live.com.

This article was written for and published in the Athenaeum, Acadia University’s student newspaper: theath.ca

Canada, Dr. Mosby discovered little-known documents outlining experiments conducted on Canada's Indigenous population. One of the testing sites for this program was Shubenacadie Residential School, here in Nova Scotia. In this public lecture, Dr. Mosby will focus specifically on the testing program in Nova Scotia and its implications for understanding the history of residential schools in Canada.

THE JOYS OF SOAKING G

uess what? All grains (white and brown rice, quinoa, kamut, millet, wheat, etc), all legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc), and all nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, chia, flax, etc) are all actually SEEDS! Not everyone knows this, but it’s time you did: all seeds contain something that keeps them in a dormant state (i.e., asleep) until conditions are proper for them to come alive and grow. Proper conditions are when the seed has enough water to absorb, causing it to swell and burst with life, releasing this “something” that has kept the seed asleep and kept it from rotting while it waits for water.

This “something” that all seeds (and nuts and beans and grains) contain, is called an enzyme inhibitor, and it is a necessary, natural chemical used by the seed to protect and preserve itself. When you eat grains, nuts and legumes without soaking them first, you are absorbing all the enzyme inhibitors that the seed is releasing, which inhibits your natural enzymes in your body, which causes you to not absorb all the nutrients from the good food you are eating. If you're not soaking them first, you're not getting all the nourishment that you need to, and over time, you are building up a “block” in your digestive tract, blocking the absorption of minerals and vitamins from all other food that you eat!

When we soak our seeds, not only are we releasing and discarding the harmful enzyme inhibitors, but we are also bringing the seeds to life, thereby activating all of their nutrients

and increasing the bio-availability of the vitamins and minerals that the seed has to offer.

Proper soaking also makes the seeds more alkaline, even after cooking, since soaking increases the amount of available calcium. It's only been in recent years that we've disregarded the traditional methods of soaking, sprouting, and fermenting our grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Somewhere along the line we forgot or got lazy, and our health has suffered for it.

Many people today have digestive trouble when eating whole grains, beans and raw nuts, and even some have allergies to these nutritious foods. The main reason for this, along with the large-scale use of harmful toxins on all non-organic foods, is that the grains/nuts/ beans have not been soaked. We need to start soaking, my friends, the info is here, the time is now, So SOAK, SOAK, SOAK. There's why.

Here's how: Use warm water to soak your seeds, and leave them at room temperature for the required soaking time, loosely covered (with a cloth, plate, or loose lid).

For seeds that require a longer soaking time (8-12 hours), adding 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to your water discourages spoilage from unfriendly bacteria.

For non-vegans, 1-2 tbsp of a cultured natural product like yogurt, kefir, whey or buttermilk are beneficial to the soaking process, as the healthy, live lactobacillus bacteria in these cultures begins to break down the proteins in

the seeds, making them even easier to digest and absorb nutrients from.

Nuts need to be raw in order to revive and activate them. No sense in soaking a dead roasted nut.

As always, organic is best for the body/mind/ spirit.

Yes, it takes a little longer to get a soaking routine working for you in your life. It takes planning your meals a day (or half a day) in advance, and it means absorbing all available nutrients and treating your body and the foods you put into it with the respect and consciousness that you all deserve!! Hooray !!

Coconut Janice Gaudet

Always drain the water from your seeds after soaking and rinse well. If you are cooking the seeds, add fresh water and cook as usual.

The soaking time for seeds depends mostly on the density of the seed, usually meaning the denser the seed, the longer the soak, with some exceptions.

8-12 hour soak : Almonds, Barley, Buckwheat Berries, all Beans, Chickpeas, Flax, Kamut Berries, Lentils, Millet, Whole Oats, Pumpkin Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Rye, Wheat Berries.

2-4 Hour Soak : Cashews, Hazelnuts, Quinoa, Pecans, Sunflower Seeds, Walnuts If you want to go the next step and sprout your seeds, and not just activate and remove the enzyme inhibitors, you will need to soak them longer. Usually a good rule is to soak the seeds overnight or for a full 24 hours, drain the water, rinse well, and leave moist and uncovered (or under a cloth), rinsing 2-4 times a day, until a sprout is visible, letting it grow to your desired length before thanking the universe and enjoying your little delicacies.

MATCHING OPPORTUNITIES BOOST STUDENTS FUNDRAISING Here they come!

Landmark East students are heading out to neighbourhoods in Wolfville and surrounding communities collecting sponsor dollars for their 11th Annual Walkathon, the school’s signature fall fundraiser in support of the Landmark East Student Bursary Fund. The young people, along with parents, alumni, staff and board members, will be canvassing throughout September to help build the Landmark East Student Bursary Fund.

This year the Johnson Scholarship Foundation will match 50 cents on every dollar raised at the event. The Florida-based Foundation has been a major benefactor of the school since 2000, investing over $1.65 million in bursary funding to assist Landmark East families with demonstrated financial need. The Johnson partnership also incorporated matching grants to boost local fundraising and has contributed $130,000 of the more than $387,000 raised over the past decade through the Walkathon Event.

“The need for bursary funding is ever-present and growing every year,” says Landmark East

Headmaster Peter Coll. “Families, particularly from the local area, are struggling to meet the financial commitment of tuition payments.

Very often the availability of a bursary is the deciding factor on whether or not a child can attend Landmark East. The Valley community has been extremely generous over the years, donating to our Walkathon, and many promising students have benefitted from that support. “ This year’s supervised neighbourhood sponsor drive takes place from 6:30 to 8 pm throughout September. It provides an opportunity for students to participate in the fundraising process as a community-service project. Many of these volunteers are international students. They are brand new to the school, and often this is their first encounter with the Wolfville community.

Canvassing also takes place in surrounding communities such as Kentville, Canning, Port Williams, Newport, New Minas, and Windsor, as day students, alumni, staff, board members and their families get involved as ambassadors for the cause. Online giving is also now an option through the school website: www. landmarkeast.org.

Left to Right : Ben Kroker, Rebecca Holleman, Jaylene Hubley, Richard Adams, Delila Hubley, Wesley Smith, Marika Hubley. Front-row elementary students: Emma Schofield, Mackenzie Routledge This year the Walkathon will take place on Sunday, Sept 29, from 1-5pm. Participants of all ages will gather on campus to make the 5-kilometre afternoon hike through town and the neighbouring dyke lands. The walk will be followed by an informal celebration at the school to recognize volunteer efforts. Local merchants have donated refreshments, awards, and incentive prizes.

Landmark East is Canada’s independent day and boarding school for students with learning differences. The school, located on Main Street

in Wolfville, was established in 1979 and offers individualized programs developed to meet unique learning abilities for students aged 8 to 19.

The Who s Who

WILL COOPER:

S

COLOURING OUR WORLD!

ometimes a Who’s Who is just a few steps from my front door… literally! Will Cooper appeared at my yard sale last year on Chestnut Ave to buy things “to distract the kids” while he moved into his new house, just a few doors down.

And now Will’s my newest Who’s Who!

Will has had a variety of jobs. He’s worked as a travel advisor, a phlebotomist, a librarian, an ESL teacher and an environmental studies lecturer, amongst other things. Currently (no pun intended), Will is working as an electrical apprentice, which he finds interesting and (when he’s not crawling around in a scorching-hot, dusty attic) practical. However, Will’s real passion is art. His dream is to be able to do art full-time—or perhaps half-time, so that he can spend the other half with his wonderful family.

Last April, Will began experimenting with a new style of art, where he draws images onto large sheets of wood, cuts them out with a scroll saw, sands them and then paints each piece of the image with a solid color. He then varnishes and glues all the pieces back together on a backboard, like a huge painted jigsaw puzzle, and the results are incredible.

They have turned into a brilliant and vibrant collection of scenes inspired by the Nova Scotian landscapes we’ve all grown to love. Now YOU can see Will’s wonderful folk-art flavour at the Wolfville Library, where his art is being displayed until September 30. And Jen has helped Will create a website to promote his art, www.willcooperart.com. Check it out!

Will says,“I’ve been receiving a lot of positive feedback about my work, and half of the pieces I’ve made have already sold and I have

just been commissioned to do a new piece, so I am doing what I love and it’s paying off.”

In his spare time, which comes sporadically, Will enjoys building, renovating, and spending time with his boys. When the in-laws look after the kids, he loves to go swimming at Lumsden pond and have café time with Jen. Will loves to write as well, and has written many newspaper articles, worked as an editor, and written a fantasy-novel manuscript and several children’s book manuscripts, including a finalist in the Atlantic Writing Competition’s children’s book category. And as if he wasn’t talented enough with his painting, Will also plays guitar and piano, and recently won a folk-song competition in New Zealand!

But what Will wants most are to be a professional artist and to live on an off-the-grid farm where he can build forts in the woods with his kids and grow vegetables to support his vegan lifestyle. He says “I feel fortunate to be part of such a cohesive and supportive community where there are so many great opportunities for artists. I am particularly grateful to the library for letting me display my work.”

I wish you all the best with your many talents, Will. Your art is fresh and fun, and I hope people take the time to explore it.

Your appreciation for the environment is inspirational. I applaud you for using your surroundings to create beautiful art and for sharing with your neighbours, both right next door and far away! Good luck, neighbour!

Will Cooper was born in England but grew up mostly in Canada, first in rural Manitoba and then Nova Scotia.

Moving around and travelling became two of Will’s biggest “hobbies”. He’s lived in Sierra Leone, France, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia.

After six years in New Zealand, Will, his wife Jen, and their two sons, Forest and Asa, moved back to Nova Scotia. Oh, and I can’t forget their bulldog-lab mix Kaia, who loves Wolfville just as much as Will and his family. Will says, “It seemed like a good place to raise our boys: small, alternative, attractive, close to Halifax and full of friendly people.”

Wineries L'Acadie Vineyards

WOLFVILLE WINERY NEWEST ADDITION TO DEVONIAN COAST PORTFOLIO

For the time being, the focus will remain on vineyard development, while the winery and wine shop will close temporarily for renovations and improvements. The operation will then reopen in 2014 as a new winery under a new name.

“Our plan is to create new wines and a new brand to fit in the ultra premium category, which is an important part of Devonian’s growth strategy,” says Sparkes. He adds, “This location allows us to do something really

This is one of the most exciting times in Nova Scotia’s 30-year wine journey, and Devonian Coast is proud to be a part of the phenomenal growth of the industry. With several new wineries and each existing winery placing emphasis on quality and carving out their own unique offerings, consumers can expect Nova Scotia wines to continue to evolve to world class.

Léon Millot is a red variety that was created in 1911 in Alsace by Eugène Kuhlmann (yes, he created Lucie Kuhlmann too!). The grape was named after the winemaker at the Oberlin Institute in Alsace. With our short growing season we grow Léon Millot because it ripens early and has high resistance against fungal diseases. The skins of these very small berries are a beautiful blueberry colour, and the tiny clusters weigh just around 90 grams each! It produces a lighter wine that can be compared to the style of Pinot Noir. Almost all the local wineries work with the Léon Millot grape. It’s great to taste them from winery to winery, as the winemakers use different techniques in fermentation or aging, so you’ll see some remarkable differences!

“It’s here where the elements perfectly align” As for this new acquisition, the journey is just beginning.

Autumn Salad

542-9511 www.boxofdelightsbooks.com

Dave Smart | Front & Central The nights are getting cooler....fall is just around the corner. It’s the time of year where we have to start thinking about switching gears with our salads. One of my favourite salads uses brussels sprouts and kale as the greens, with a bright lemon Dijon vinaigrette. This salad is hearty and satisfying while still maintaining the bright and fresh flavours of the summer.

Serves 4 as a side salad.

Vinaigrette • 2 tbsp lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon • 1 tsp Dijon mustard • ½ c. vegetable oil • Salt & pepper to taste

Salad • 2 cups brussels sprouts, outer leaves

removed, cut into thin strips • 1 c. kale, stem removed and leaves cut into thin strips • ½ c. dried currants • ½ c. slivered almonds • ¼ c. shallot, diced fine

Instructions Combine lemon juice, zest, and mustard in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in vegetable oil and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

In a sauté pan, toast almonds over medium-high heat. When fragrant and taking on colour, remove to a plate and allow to cool.

Toss chopped sprouts, kale, currants, and shallots in a bowl and add dressing to taste.

Top with cooled almonds and serve.

Horoscopes for the week of September 19th

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Philosopher

Alan Watts used to talk about how the whole world is wiggling all the time. Clouds, trees, sky, water, human beings: Everything's constantly shimmying and jiggling and waggling. One of our problems, Watts said, is that we're "always trying to straighten things out." We feel nagging urges to deny or cover up or eliminate the wiggling. "Be orderly," we command reality. "Be neat and composed and predictable." But reality never obeys. It's forever doing what it does best: flickering and fluctuating and flowing. In accordance with astrological omens, Taurus, I encourage you to rebel against any natural tendencies you might have to fight the eternal wiggle.

Instead, celebrate it. Rejoice in it. Align yourself with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Elaine Scarry defines "the basic impulse underlying education" as follows: the "willingness to continually revise one's own location in order to place oneself in the path of beauty."

Consider making this your modus operandi in the coming weeks, Gemini. Always be on the lookout for signs that beauty is near. Do research to find out where beauty might be hiding and where beauty is ripening. Learn all you can about what kinds of conditions attract beauty, and then create those conditions.

Finally, hang around people who are often surrounded by beauty. This approach will be an excellent way to further your education.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): "Life is either always a tight-rope or a feather bed. Give me the tight-rope." So declared writer Edith Wharton. But she was an Aquarius, and more temperamentally suited to the tight-rope.

GRAPELY GHOST WALK

Many of you Cancerians, on the other hand, prefer to emphasize the feather-bed mode.

I suspect that in the next nine months, however, you will be willing and even eager to spend more time on the tight-rope than is customary for you. To get primed for the excitement, I suggest you revel in some intense feather-bed action in the coming weeks. Charge up your internal batteries with an extra-special deluxe regimen of sweet selfcare.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Half of a truth is

better than no truth at all, right? Wrong! If you latch on to the partially accurate story, you may stop looking for the rest of the story.

And then you're liable to make a premature decision based on insufficient data. The better alternative is to reject the partially accurate story and be willing to wait around in the dark until the complete revelation comes. That may be uncomfortable for a while. But when the full truth finally straggles in, you will be very glad you didn't jump to unripe conclusions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A Chinese

entrepreneur named Nin Nan dreamed up a unique way to generate capital: He sold dead mosquitoes online for a dollar apiece, advertising them as useful for scientific research and decoration. Within two days, he received 10,000 orders. Let's make him your patron saint and role model for the next few weeks, Virgo. May he inspire you to come up with novel ways to stimulate your cash flow. The planetary omens suggest that your originality is more likely than usual to generate concrete rewards.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "The most important thing is to find out what the most important thing is," wrote Shunryu Suzuki in his book Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind. That's your assignment for the next three weeks.

Do whatever it takes to find out beyond any doubt what the most important thing is.

Meditate naked an hour a day. Go on long walks in the wildest places you know. Convene intense conversations about yourself with the people who know you best. Create and sign a contract with yourself in which you vow to identify the experience you want more than any other experience on earth. No waffling allowed, Libra. What is the single most important thing?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometime in

the next nine months you may feel moved to

Country Barn Antiques c. 1860

embark on an adventure that will transform the way you understand reality. Maybe you will choose to make a pilgrimage to a sacred sanctuary or wander further away from your familiar comforts than you ever have before.

Right now is an excellent time to brainstorm about the possibilities. If you don't feel ready to actually begin your quest, at least formulate a master plan for the magic moment when you will be ripe.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the

indigenous culture of Hawaii, "mana" refers to a spiritual power that may abide in people, objects, and natural locations. You can acquire more of it by acting with integrity and excellence, but you might lose some of it if your actions are careless or unfocused. For instance, a healer who does a mediocre job of curing her patients could lose the mana that made her a healer in the first place. I believe that similar principles hold true for non-Hawaiians. All of us have an ever-shifting relationship with the primal life force. What's the current state of your own personal supply, Sagittarius? It's time to make sure you're taking full advantage of the mana you have been blessed with. Your motto: "Use it or lose it."

in novel ways as you have fun playing with experimental scenarios. But please exercise a modicum of discernment as you wander way outside the box. Be at least 20 percent practical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "Take a lover

who looks at you like maybe you are magic," says the poet Marty McConnell. That's good advice, Pisces -- not just in regards to your intimate relationships, but about all your other alliances, too. If you're seeking a friend or consultant or business partner or jogging companion or new pet, show a preference for those creatures who look at you like maybe you are magic. You always need to be appreciated for the sweet mystery and catalytic mojo you bring to your partnerships, but you especially need that acknowledgment now.

[Editor: Here's this week's homework:]

Unleash an outrageous boast about how you're going to pull off a certain feat that you've previously lacked the chutzpah to attempt. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

SCOTIAN HIKER

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have you

been getting enough? I doubt it. I think you should sneak a peek into the hiding place where your insatiable cravings are stored.

If you're brave enough, also take a look at your impossible demands and your unruly obsessions and your suppressed miracles.

Please note: I'm not suggesting that you immediately unleash them all; I don't mean you should impulsively instigate an adventure that could possibly quench your ravenous yearnings. But I do believe you will benefit from becoming better acquainted with them.

You could develop a more honest relationship, which would ultimately make them more trustworthy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't tape

your thumbs to your hands and stalk around pretending to be a dinosaur. Don't poke three holes in a large plastic garbage bag and wear it as a tunic while imagining that you are a feudal serf in a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi dystopia. Don't use a felt-tip marker to draw corporate logos on your face to show everyone what brands of consumer goods you love. To be clear: I would love you to be extravagantly creative. I hope you will use your imagination

health and wellness.

According to the holistic medicine philosophy, one can achieve optimal health by gaining proper balance in life.

ince I was 16, I have taken three sick days off from work: two for food poisoning and one for a stress headache from my oldest nephew Ben’s first day of big school (Uncle Mike was worried!). I am just never sick!

But being that person doesn’t mean I don’t take care of myself. I try to eat right, I exercise, I drink lots of water and I am careful about the things around me that could make me sick. I also have an open mind and have experimented with many alternative medicines (mostly teas and herbs) to be proactive against upcoming cold and flu seasons.

A few Grapevines back, I wrote a Who’s Who on a wonderful lady named Holly Silver. Holly owns and operates the Magical Closet in Kentville and is also one of the chief coordinators for the Holistic and Wellness Expo at the Greenwich Fire Hall on Saturday, October 5, from 9:30am-5pm. I have never attended the Expo, but, now in its third year, it has become an incredible event that I cannot wait to attend. Just seeing the variety of products and specialists makes the Holistic and Wellness Expo well worth the $3 admission fee.

Holistic medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole person, body, mind, spirit, and emotions, in the quest for optimal Mike Uncorked brought to you by 9701 Commercial St Greenwich

overall health.

A holistic doctor may use all forms of health care, from conventional medication to alternative therapies, to treat a patient.

For example, when a person suffering from headaches pays a visit to a holistic doctor, instead of walking out solely with medications, the doctor will likely take a look at all the potential factors that may be causing the person's headaches, such as other health problems, diet and sleep habits, stress and personal problems, and preferred spiritual practices. The treatment plan may involve drugs to relieve symptoms, but also lifestyle modifications to help prevent the headaches from reccurring.

Colds and sniffles are rare to minimal, headaches almost non-existent, no flu, no allergies, no aches, pains or broken bones or genetic diseases. I am not saying I am Superman, but I am a rare case of a person who’s just never ill. I believe it’s because when I was a kid, my older sisters use to feed me lots of dirt and rare exterior findings, so my immune system has become a bit of a brick wall. I also don’t lather myself with all those ridiculous sanitizers, so my body can absorb and process a bit of filth and know how to handle it.

Holistic medicine practitioners believe that the whole person is made up of interdependent parts, and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected. In this way, if people have imbalances (physical, emotional, or spiritual) in their lives, it can negatively affect their

LYNDA SHALAGAN: “SEEING RED” Opened Saturday, September 14, at Harvest Gallery in Wolfville.

A

rtist Lynda Shagalan says that “Seeing Red” was an idea that figured prominently during her recent trip to China. “Red is a colour deeply imbued with symbolism in the Chinese culture, and although I used it purely intuitively, these paintings express something about my experience of this ancient culture.”

Figuratively, she was attracted to the graphic quality and flow of the pictograms and calligraphy. Even the branches of the twisted trees in the gardens, leafless in early spring, seemed to communicate in this exotic language.

Some of the pieces in the exhibition contain a square hole in the center. In the photo montages, the idea began as a way to consider a kind of pervasive, circular continuity in all things. In China, an ancient temple tucked between a Starbucks and a contemporary hotel suggested a portal into another century and a passageway to the “other.” In the center of the paper pieces, she has incorporated small papers, distributed in the temples, which are burned to carry prayers to loved ones.“I thought of them as small prayers in themselves, carrying my thoughts to another realm.” Although some of the forms and ideas for this show were precipitated by her trip to China, the work contains a very strong personal thread for Lynda that continues to

unravel and evolve in places familiar and not so familiar.

Lynda grew up in Vancouver. She began her art education by studying weaving, fibre arts, pottery, drawing and painting, completing a craft diploma at Capilano College in North Vancouver. In 1980 she moved to Halifax to attend the Nova Scotia College of Art. She currently works out of her home studio/ gallery and teaches art at the Sacred Heart School of Halifax on a part-time basis. She has exhibited her work across Canada, and her paintings can be found in many private and public collections. Lynda is represented in Wolfville at Harvest Gallery and in Halifax at the AGNS Art Sales and Rental Gallery.

PETITOT, A NEW NOVEL BY SUSAN HALEY Gaspereau Press has just released Petitot, a new novel by Susan Haley.

F

resh out of college and reeling from the failure of a marriage that had barely even begun, Marcus takes a teaching job in a tiny northern-Canadian native community. While struggling to grasp his own predicament, Marcus finds himself entangled in much larger community tragedies: the suicide of an aging priest and the death of two young students from exposure. But it is his discovery of the writings of Émile Petitot, a controversial 19th-century missionary Oblate priest, linguist and ‘explorer,’ that finally threatens to unhinge Marcus, launching him on an obsessive quest for answers.

In this novel, Susan Haley explores the troubled life and dubious claims of Father Petitot, whose 15 years beneath the Arctic Circle were punctuated by scandal, delusional behaviour and episodes of outright madness and paranoia—problems that caused him to be shuffled from mission to mission, temporarily excommunicated, and even forcibly hospitalized by the bishop. Haley’s binocular approach ruptures the normal historical perspective as she attempts to depict Petitot in all his com-

plexity, both through the eyes of his Inuit and Cree contemporaries and through those of Marcus, who sifts through the written records of one man’s life in search for the truth about us all.

Susan Haley’s first two novels, A Nest of Singing Birds and Getting Married in Buffalo Jump, were made into movies for CBC-TV. Her recent novels include The Complaints Department, Maggie’s Family and The Murder of Medicine Bear. Haley and her partner ran a charter airline in Fort Norman, Northwest Territories, for 15 years. She now lives in Black River, Nova Scotia.
