AWARD-WINNING SOLO SHOW COMES TO EVERGREEN THEATRE Susan Wedlock

What do you do when you are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease as a child and the only thing that will save you will leave you with only one eye?

Well if you are Stephanie Morin-Robert you write and perform a multi-award-winning piece of theatre that uses comedy, dance, and story-telling to inspire and help others dealing with disabilities and differences.

Blindside has been breaking boundaries and wowing audiences across North America and is touring the Maritimes in November with a local show at Evergreen Theatre November 17 at 8pm.

Recently, Stephanie took the time to answer a few questions for The Grapevine: The Grapevine: Describe your show Blindside in five words.

Stephanie Morin-Robert: Charming, hilarious, and a-little-bit-gross.

GV: Blindside is based on stories from your childhood and teens. Did all this stuff really happen?

SM: All stories are 100% true.

GV: When did you start to write Blindside and why?

Photo by Tristan Brand

GV: What advice would you give parents who may have a child dealing with a situation similar to yours?

SM: Reach out to other people who are going through the same thing as you. Don't be afraid to talk about it. Don't pretend it's not happening. Be sure your child knows how to face bullying.

GV: What is on your bucket list?

SM: I started writing this show because I believed my experience could help others. I would have loved to see a show like this, it would have saved me a lot of time and pain.

Self-acceptance is a challenging thing to face.

SM: Make a new solo show. A sequel to Blindside.

GV: Along with self-acceptance, your play deals with the search for self-identity. Do these themes resonate with a wide range of people?

SM: I hope audiences appreciate how honest, vulnerable, and funny it is. I hope audiences appreciate Blindside for normalizing disabilities and physical differences through comedy.

SM: Everyone has something about themselves that they are a little self-conscious about. Weight, sexual orientation, depression.

This show is very relatable and can help people from all walks of life to feel a little less alone.

GV: What are you most proud of about the show?

GV: You have recently become a mother, has that experience changed your outlook on life?

SM: I feel like a whole new person. I'm experiencing life all over again. I'm enjoying motherhood so much. I feel so lucky to be touring with her and my partner Alastair. I talk a lot about my mother in the show, and since having my little girl, my relationship with my own mother has shifted because I have a better understanding of how much work and love goes into raising a family.

GV: What do you hope audiences appreciate most about your Blindside performance?

SM: I'm most proud of how far the show has come. When I first started performing this show, I was extremely nervous, due to how honest and vulnerable the stories are. It was terrifying. I've since toured the show over 100 times, and I'm thankful for how well it's been received by audiences and critics across North America. The more I perform the show, the more I become comfortable with the subject matter and I'm a much more confident person because of it. Laughter is extremely contagious. I'm proud that I've managed to turn something so traumatic and difficult into something utterly delightful and hilarious.

ALFRED LAKE, THE WORLD WAR I BICYCLE MESSENGER Wendy Elliott

At the Wolfville post office in front of our Mona Parsons sculpture, The Joy is Almost Too Much to Bear, stands an oak tree with a fascinating history.

In a sense it goes back to the time of King Charles II of England, when an oak was planted at Windsor Castle. It was meant to commemorate the king’s escape from Cromwell’s army and the oak tree he hid in.

During World War I, Wolfville resident Alfred Lake heard the story on the grounds of the castle and happened to pick up an acorn. He served with the 85th Infantry Battalion in the dangerous role of bicycle messenger. We know he was hit by two bullets during the Hundred Days Offensive just as the Great War ended.

Researcher Sarah Atkinson believes he was wounded at Valenciennes on November 5 or November 6 of 1918. He was in hospital for 69 days due to wounds in his abdomen and leg.

Wolfville native Gordon Hansford tells the tale that Mr. Lake found the acorn in his pack on his return to Nova Scotia. As the gardener and caretaker at the old post office for many years, he planted it on the grounds. The oak must be nearly one hundred years old now.

The Wolfville Historical Society hopes to tell Mr. Lake’s story and that of the town’s war memorial in an information panel on the site.

For those of you who don’t know, I have my own show on Eastlink Community TV called Annapolis Valley In-Focus, an interview show where I get to meet and chat with members of our community who are striving in business, and doing what they can to improve our Valley. I am so fortunate to know and to have interviewed Sasha Nelson. A few months ago he appeared on my show, and the setting for the program is actually taped in the Hardware Gallery that Sasha owns and operates in downtown Kentville. Let’s take a minute to get to know this guy a bit better, shall we?

Sasha Nelson is originally from Moncton, New Brunswick, but currently calls the Annapolis Valley home. “At the end of high school," he says, "I was faced with a choice to pursue either physics or fine arts at university (as I've been creative and have drawn my whole life). I chose physics, I think because it seemed like it would be more likely to get me a well-paying job. However, I couldn't deny my deep curiosity for trying to decipher how the universe works, and found myself drawn outside of physics, into psychology, philosophy, and comparative religions, and came full circle back to fine arts. I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts at NSCAD where I met my wife, Beth, who is from Kentville. I majored in painting there, though my interests expanded far beyond just the medium of paint. Upon graduating, Beth and I had a son together and our busy life began.”

Sasha decided to pursue fine arts further in hopes of making a career out of it, and obtained his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Waterloo. His thesis was pretty conceptual, combining esoteric philosophies with a major critique of consumer culture, and took the form of an installation using painting, sculpture, animation, and music. Upon graduating, and having had another son, he became an apprentice carpenter to pay the bills. He commented, “I obtained my Red Seal Certification in General Carpentry in Ontario.

My wife and I decided to return to our native Maritimes and bought the hundred-year-old house in downtown Kentville in which my wife grew up! And that's how I landed in the Annapolis Valley.”

By day Sasha is a carpenter for a local contractor, as well as the volunteer gallery director and founder of Hardware Gallery, a new art space in Kentville. He works with an awesomely powerful team of board members, collectively known as the non-profit Kentville Art Gallery Society (KAGS), to make things happen there. On the side, Sasha’s also a freelance graphic designer, having designed the Friends of the Kentville Library logo, the Hardware Gallery logo and website, the BethBuddha Yoga logo, and the Kentville Community Fund logo. And if that wasn’t enough dabbling in the arts community, Sasha is also an arts instructor, working on some upcoming Hardware Gallery workshops, and teaching periodically at Ross Creek Centre for the Arts.

The Hardware Gallery is such a unique space in Kentville. “I was looking to create opportunities for myself to work more within my art background," Sasha says, "and decided to explore the possibility of opening an art gallery. It happened that at that very time, Kentville had elected a new progressive council and mayor, who were openly looking to

welcome an arts-based project into the Calkin building that had been recently donated to the town. Thus I formed KAGS, which originally consisted of my wife and myself, and three other friends I had made upon moving here, who were amazingly knowledgeable, resourceful, and experienced, and who shared in and trusted my vision. We put forth a proposal to the Town of Kentville and after a ton of hard work we opened the doors of the gallery in March 2018!”

Since then, KAGS has grown and now consists of nine super-charged volunteer board members whose ideas and abilities are only held back by time and funding. As KAGS grows and can hopefully access more financial resources, they will bring even more awesome things to the Valley.

Besides carpentry and the many levels of art that Sasha partakes in, he’s also played drums for more than twenty years. He’s played in bands throughout his life, mostly heavy music. Music is huge for Sasha and he’s always looking for more ways to integrate it into his busy schedule, and he’s also developed a massive passion for cooking over the years of having a family.

“I like to be active with my family," he says, "particularly through soccer, basketball, yoga, and hockey. My wife is inspiring me to try running and my two youngest boys are amazing soccer players! Fitting it all in is tough and sometimes I wonder why I decided to do Hardware Gallery. But, throughout the months that the gallery has been open, I've come to meet so many people who are looking for the same thing: a network of like-minded individuals who need to feed off of the collective creative flow that exists here in the Valley and Nova Scotia in general. The creative community is a real thing! It's not just the domain of students! That being said, I think my vision of the Hardware Gallery art space is expanding into a larger dream of creating a full-fledged art school here in Kentville! There are actually a ton of people who would be amazing instructors around here!”

Take the time to go visit Hardware Gallery and meet Sasha Nelson. This guy is on the pulse of something very special in our community and it needs to be embraced! Best of luck Sasha!

On Friday, October 26 Nova Scotia Health Authority President and CEO Janet Knox, Valley Hospice Foundation Chair Diana Patterson, Seniors Minister Leo Glavine and several board and community members gathered for a Valley Hospice groundbreaking ceremony that marked a major step forward for ensuring high-quality end-of-life care for area residents. The 10-bed hospice facility will be built next to Beacon House at Valley Regional Hospital, with the Valley Hospice Foundation contributing up to $4 million to pay for construction costs and Nova Scotia Health

Authority operating the facility. The project has taken nearly two decades of campaigning and fundraising to finally be realized. “This is a proud moment for our Annapolis Valley communities,” Valley Hospice Foundation Board Chair Diana Patterson said. “Today celebrates the vision, determination and commitment of all those who have supported hospice for Valley residents and their loved ones to receive the best end of life care, comfort and support.” Construction crews will begin work in mid-November, and it’s expected to take until the end of 2019 to complete.

© 2018 Rob Brezsny • freewillastrology.com • Horoscopes for the week of November 1st

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt, or distorted. You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): U2’s singer Bono, born under the sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.”

Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism, and spiritual devotion.

I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Most of our desires are clichés, right? Ready to wear, one size fits all.

I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise, or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them. That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive.

And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Each of us needs something of an island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.”

According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m rooting for you to engage in experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions.

To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1. “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” —Julio Cortázar 2. “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets. —Anne Carson 3. “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . .

The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.”

—Rabindranath Tagore 4. “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” —Anne Michaels

6 | November 1 – November 15, 2018

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Of course I want you to have more money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence, and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Penetralia” is a word that means the innermost or most private parts, the most secret and mysterious places. It’s derived from the same Latin term that evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to know where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when you get to them. I suspect that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the coming weeks.

I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun, and knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as-yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them.

Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors.

He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what?

I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For renowned Piscean visual artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing! A fun thing! Enjoy your ride.

WHAT’S GROWING AT THE HARRIET IRVING BOTANICAL GARDENS

EMBRACING THE DARKNESS Melanie Priesnitz, Conservation Horticulturist The forest is a magical place after dark. Unfortunately, sometimes fear of the unknown can leave us feeling unsafe to walk in natural places at night. This time of year the darkness is creeping in and the natural shift towards curling up indoors after dark has begun.

While we sit inside our comfortable homes we sometimes forget that there is a whole world of wonder happening outside each night, no matter what time of year. I am never sorry when I make it a priority to pry myself away from the woodstove and go outside after dark to stare at the night sky or walk in the woods.

The cool air is invigorating, and the feeling of adventure and accomplishment is satisfying.

Also, the cup of tea once you get back inside tastes that much better after you’ve been active outside!

Each year a group of Acadia students from the community development program design a public event to help people embrace the darkness. This event is planned as part of the students’ community programming class and it provides a great opportunity for hands-on learning. This year’s event, Luminata, will follow in the tradition of past events where the pathways of the Gardens will be lit up with paper luminaries. The students are planning a variety of fun activities to encourage participants young and old to safely explore the Gardens and Woodland Trails at night.

One of the great outdoor wonders that we’ll be discovering during Luminata is the night sky. We’re lucky in Wolfville to have less light pollution than other, more urban, areas so we have an opportunity to see stars, planets, and constellations that others cannot. During the month of November, you may be lucky enough to see the Leonid meteor shower. The peak time for viewing is around the seventeenth or eighteenth of the month. The shower is called Leonid because the point in the sky where the meteors appear lies in the constellation Leo.

Luminata participants will be encouraged to slow down, reflect, and listen. Taking a silent walk in the woods can really open up all of your senses and encourage you to feel, smell, and hear what’s happening around you. If you’re very quiet, you may hear small animals scurrying around, such as nocturnal red foxes and raccoons as well as soaring wings and calls from barred owls. One sound you can relish in for certain is the great sound of autumn leaves crunching underfoot.

We hope that you can join us on Wednesday November 7 at 7pm (rain date November 8) in the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens, 32 University Avenue. The event will start around the bonfire on the formal lawn.

If you can’t join us, I encourage you to plan your own outdoor adventure. The best way to have a positive outdoor night experience this time of the year is to follow a few key guidelines: d Keep walks short and manageable. d Try walking in the same location during the day first so you feel comfortable in the surroundings and know when to expect stream crossings or other obstacles. d Use flashlights only minimally, your eyes will better adapt to the dark without them. d Dress warmly, bring warm drinks in a thermos, and remember to relax, breathe deeply, and remind yourself to stay calm and embrace the darkness.

ARMISTICE AT ACADIA Wendy Robicheau

Thursday, 7 November 1918 was not a normal day for the Acadia Collegiate Academy boys.

Why? Those who volunteered for the turnip harvest were excused from classes. On the College farm next to Willett Hall, they pulled, topped, and hauled about 800 bushels of turnips destined for the vegetable cellar. Their day was interrupted by “Toddy” De Wolfe running through the field announcing that the Germans had signed an armistice. The College authorities dispelled the myth, telling the students that when official news about the armistice came, the college bell would be rung.

An ocean away, Acadia’s students and alumni continued to fight. During the last operation of the war in which the 85th Battalion took part, Lieutenant Orrin Lincoln Lantz (Military Cross, Croix de Guerre) was the last Acadia man killed in wartime. He graduated from the Acadia Collegiate Academy in 1916. When Col. Allison H. Borden came to Wolfville on a recruitment tour in the early months of 1916, Lantz stepped up. His obituary, found in the Acadia Athenaeum for January 1919, says: “Lieutenant Lantz was killed by a high explosive shell as his battalion was “jumping off” at Valenciennes on the morning of Nov. 6th, and is buried in the beautiful cemetery of that city, which he helped to liberate.”

A few days later, it was over. News of the Armistice came to campus early in the day.

A telegram was received from the Canadian

Corps at 0645 on Monday, the 11th of November. It read: "Hostilities will cease at 1100 hours on Nov 11th Troops will stand fast on the line reached at that hour which will be reported to Corps HQ Defensive precautions will be Maintained There will be no intercourse of any description with the enemy further instructions follow."

President Cutten, who held the rank of Major, was likely the first to know. Folklore tells us that Cutten had always wanted to ring the bell at College Hall. November the 11th was his big day! The campus newspaper tells us that “the news of the signing of the armistice was received and immediately the college bell pealed out the news to the town and the hill.”

All Wolfville celebrated. Events, speeches, church services, singing, and a parade were held throughout the day. The newspaper continues reporting on the events, indicating that “At eight o’clock in the evening a monster bonfire, for which the students had been preparing all day, was started on the campus, and as this burned down amid the explosion of fire works and the dancing of young people around the fire the official celebration for the day ended.”

Curiously, the newspaper also reports the following--“On Tuesday morning we returned to our work.”

MIKE UNCORKED

SHERLOCK HOLMES FARCE COMES TO CENTRESTAGE Mike Butler

The taproom at Maritime Express Cider Co. in Kentville

IN WITH THE NEW NEW VALLEY BUSINESSES TO WATCH Genevieve Allen Hearn

As leaves fall from the trees, locally-owned businesses seem to be budding around every corner in the Annapolis Valley. Here are a selection of businesses that have opened in the past month.

The Core by Bad Apple Brewhouse — Wolfville Getting your hands on Bad Apple products just got a lot easier! Folks have been picking up growlers and cans at Bad Apple Brewhouse’s location in Somerset for years, but now bottle rockets (returnable 2 litre plastic bottles) and cans are available at their retail location in Wolfville. Customers can also sit and enjoy a pint or flight in the cozy taproom. The Core is located at 3 Elm Avenue in Wolfville, and is open from 12:00pm to 8:00pm Tuesday - Sunday.

Maritime Express Cider Co. — Kentville The Annapolis Valley region has a burgeoning cider industry, and Maritime Express Cider Co. is the newest kid on the block. The cidery and taproom opened their doors in the historic Cornwallis Inn on October 23, and will be holding a grand opening event on November 17. The taproom offers Maritime Express Cider Co.’s dry, sweet, and rhubarb cider, as well as a selection of craft beers and ciders across the Maritimes. Customers can enjoy a pint or a flight, as well as loads of atmosphere in the beautifully restored space. Hours are 11am – 9pm Monday to Thursday, 11am – 11pm Friday – Saturday, and 11am – 5pm on Sunday.

Freedom Miniatures — Kentville Whether you are a miniature enthusiast or not, this place is worth checking out! Owner Shelley Acker creates miniature dioramas, and these pieces take time to fully appreciate. The amount of detail, down to the covers on each individual book sitting on the bookshelves, is astounding. In addition to Shelley’s own work on display, Shelley sells nearly empty miniature rooms, as well as miniature furniture and fixtures for those who would like to try their own hand at creating tiny worlds. Drop by the workshop and retail location at 45 Webster Street in Kentville, 10am – 5pm Wednesday to Friday, or by appointment.

LIV Fashion Boutique — Kentville Kentville just got a little more stylish! LIV Fashion Boutique, previously located in Wolfville, is now located at 294 Main Street in Kentville. They offer “trendy clothing for

everyday living” and this Grapevine writer might have already bought two quintessential, cozy fall sweaters – both for under $60 each.

Their printed socks and beautiful scarves are perfect for stocking stuffers... just saying! Visit LIV Fashion Boutique 10am – 5pm Monday to Friday.

Breakout 902 Escape Room — Coldbrook OK, we know this escape room has been around since July, but there’s still many of you who need to try your riddle solving skills!

Breakout 902 is located in Coldbrook, where 4–8 players have 60 minutes to solve a series of puzzles and riddles to escape a room. Currently there are two situations to choose from: a Bank Heist and Aunt Edna’s Condo. Participants are locked in the room, and it is a race against the clock to find clues and work as a team to either crack the safe or find information about an inheritance. Book an appointment by visiting 902escaperooms.com.

I know it might be too early to talk about Christmas but, honestly folks, it’s right around the corner and I am very excited!

Christmas is my favourite time of year and its usually my busiest time of the year too, with so many family and friend events happening, as well as some dabbling in the local theatre community. 2018 has been a hectic but rewarding year for me in theatre and I’m going out with a bang with three shows during the months of November and December. The first is a wonderful holiday farce by Ken Ludwig called The Game’s Afoot; Or Holmes for the Holidays, which is a must-see for lovers of Sherlock Holmes and wonderful mysteries with a touch of humour!

It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut mansion for a weekend of revelry.

When one of the guests turns up dead, the festivities in this isolated house of hidden rooms and state-of-the art gadgets quickly turn dangerous. Gillette assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes to track down the killer before the next victim appears. This play will keep you laughing and trying to figure out whodunit until the final bow.

The cast, in order of appearance, includes local actors who’ve all been a part of CentreStage shows before, and couldn’t wait to sink their teeth (and knives) into this fun material: John Smith, Mike Butler (ME!), Hannah Fisk, Linda Levy Fisk, Ethan Van Meekeren, Wendy

Stewart, Devon Edmonds, and Caroline Leverett, plus an array of fun set pieces and cool stage effects!

The Game’s Afoot is directed by Junie Hutchinson, whom I’ve worked with about a dozen times before, and her approach to staging comedy is a wonder. (I was so fortunate to nab one of the lead roles in Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies a few years back, also directed by Junie and it’s an experience I will always cherish, and audiences will never forget!).

Each month CentreStage features a new artist on their lobby walls and this show is proud to have Karen Kerr being featured, so make sure you check her work out on the way in!

Enjoy the show and let’s see if you can solve the mystery… if you’re not too busy laughing!

❧ The Game’s Afoot has performances scheduled for November 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 30, December 1 ,7 8. Matinee performances will take place on November 18 and December 2. Front of House opens at 6:45pm for the evening performances and 1:15pm for the matinees. Tickets: adults $15; seniors/students $12; children, age 12 and under, $5. CentreStage takes cash or cheques only. Reservations are recommended and are held until 15 minutes before show time. Call 902-678-8040 for reservations and keep up to date with all the theatre news at centrestagetheatre.ca.

RECIPE: Why Care About School Food?

Bistro 300 Coffee House — Middleton The closing of Pasta Jax in Middleton left many upset, but a sandwich and a latte at the new Bistro 300 Coffee House can certainly help lift our spirits! The bright, cozy coffee shop opened mid-October and has already been a local hit. They offer coffee and tea from North Mountain Fine Coffees, speciality coffees (rumour has it, they have a great chai latte!), gourmet sandwiches (all between $6 $6.50), daily homemade soups, salads, bagels and a delectable selection of baked goods.

Visit the new coffee shop at 300 Main Street in Middleton, 6:30am – 7pm Monday to Friday, 9am – 6pm on Saturday, and 9am – 3pm on Sunday.

VALLEY FAMILY FUN

REMEMBRANCE DAY ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS Laura Churchill Duke

Kids are never too young to learn about the importance of Remembrance Day. I have a lot of craft ideas on my Pinterest page, which you can find at pinterest.ca/lachurchmouse/ remembrance-day.

This scavenger hunt can be found at valleyfamilyfun.ca/remembrance-day. The concept can be adapted to any area, as long as you know where to find different war memorials.

For children aged 6 and older, I have developed a Remembrance Day scavenger hunt for Kings County. For this hunt, you have to drive to various towns and villages in the county to look at the war memorials. There is a chart to fill out with names of those who died, as well as a place to draw a picture of the memorial.

Another activity our family likes to do is to go into our local cemetery and find war graves.

We take pictures of them, and then go home to look them up on the Canadian War Dead website to find out more about them.

More ideas can be found at valleyfamilyfun.ca/remembrance-day.

A 2003 study showed that Nova Scotian students were 47% more likely to be overweight or obese if they ate lunch at school.

Considering that another recent Nova Scotian study showed that nearly half of schools in Nova Scotia served food that did not meet the nutrition policy set out by the province, improving school food is an issue that cannot wait.

Sadly, at the same time, 21% of our children in the Annapolis Valley are food insecure and there is no strategy in place to nourish them with a healthy lunch at school.

It is estimated that only 5-10% of the food served at schools is grown or produced in Nova Scotia. That is a huge amount of money leaving our province that could better support our local farmers and food producers. When money is redirected to local food, it returns more than double to the local economy. This would benefit everyone who lives in the Annapolis Valley.

Multinational food processing companies who do not live in or benefit our communities have infiltrated our food system. They have convinced us that we don't have time to cook and that their addictive products are somehow nutritionally superior to what we produce and cook at home. These products have been proven to cause disease, death, and human suffering, but these companies do not pay the healthcare bills or care about the misery they cause. We are losing our farms, our ability to cook, our good taste, and our health.

There is hope and inspiration in some excellent school food programs in the Valley and these could serve as a model for other schools who struggle to offer good food. Tasty local food is not more expensive than processed food, nor does it need fancy cooking to be appealing to students. We need to build capacity at schools to serve local vegetables, fruits, meats, and whole grains, and grow a distribution system to bring these foods to schools.

A lunchtime salad bar model, where kids can choose their own items from a healthy array, is a fantastic way to serve these foods to kids and staff alike.

Good school food, available to every student without stigma, is proven to improve

Berwick School salad bar

behaviour, attendance, grades, and graduation rates. This benefits everyone in the community now and into the future.

We have nearly 13,000 students in Annapolis Valley schools. Let's make it a priority to change school food for the better!

Turnip Fries A lot of the students have been enjoying these on the Berwick School salad bar! Here's how to make them at home.

• 1 turnip, peeled and cut into French fry shapes • 1/4 C olive or vegetable oil • 1/4 tsp salt Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large bowl, toss the turnip fries with the oil and salt. Spread on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the turnip pieces for 20-25 minutes, until they have browned but still have some snap!
