“Whittle Big Man”: a celebration of Al Whittle’s 60th anniversary as theatre manager at Wolfville’s Acadia Cinema
I
t was a very young Al Whittle who first stepped off the train in 1953 into his “first adventure in Wolfville…I was amazed.” Whittle began a lifelong career that day that lasted until his retirement in 2000. In celebration of Al’s contribution to the cultural life of the Annapolis Valley, he is being honoured with a gala event of live performance and film on Friday, April 26.

Al Whittle was hired in 1953 by the Spencer family of Saint John, at the time making him the youngest theatre manager in Canada. The Spencers had rebuilt Wolfville’s wooden Orpheum Theatre (1923) into the modern, well-equipped Acadia Theatre (1947).

When Whittle arrived “[Wolfville] was a booming town with four gas stations, four grocery stores – anything you wanted, it was in Wolfville. There were no bars or lounges, so the place for entertainment was the theatre.”
Update on Benny:
Built with steel and bricks, the theatre Al began managing in 1953 was not only “fire proof” but also had the first radiant heating system in a Canadian theatre, using “two miles of piping under the concrete floor.” The theatre was capable of holding approximately 700 people. A “Sweets Show-case”

Continued from cover page tempted customers as they passed and the interior boasted “velour curtains in wine, edged with gold”, matching “beautifully upholstered spring seated chairs.” Whittle supervised later renovations that saw the main theatre divided into two, and later three/separate cinemas to counter the advent of competing multiplexes. Whittle, now an honorary board member of the Acadia Cinema Co-op, is still a fixture at events., As a founding and honorary board member of the Fundy Film Society, Al can be found most taking tickets for their Sunday matinee screenings.“It was an interesting career. I wish it was still going, because I still miss it.” Tickets for the gala celebration are $15, $12 for students, and on sale now at the Box of Delights 902-542-9511 For more information please contact: Mary Harwell, Al Whittle Theatre, 542-3344 or manager@alwhittletheatre.ca

Coming Through the Fog: les rencontres de Matthieu Brouillard et de Donigan Cumming - March 1 - April 19, 2013
T
he exhibition explores common currents running through the works of both artists and the manners in which similar impulses have been worked out on formal, emotional, and conceptual levels through the medium of photography. This combination of works explores representations of the figure and raises questions around social and cultural associations with the body. Through proximity, the ways by which each artist’s work can be read are irrevocably changed. The exhibition embroils the viewer in the works and offers an occasion to present unusual and sometimes radical responses to debates that have shaped contemporary photography.

The Grapevine For the week of April 4th, 2013
Rob Brezsny's
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
"Art cannot be modern," said Austrian painter Egon Schiele. "Art is primordially eternal." I love that idea. Not all of the artifacts called "art" fit that scrupulous definition, of course. Katy Perry's music and the film Wreck It Ralph may have some entertainment value, but they're not primordially eternal. I bring this up, Aries, because I think you have entered a particularly wild and timeless phase of your own development. Whether or not you are literally an artist, you have a mandate to create your life story as a primordially eternal work of art.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "All my best ideas come from having no answer," said pioneer filmmaker John Cassavetes, "from not knowing." I hope that testimony cheers you up, Taurus. As hard as it may be for you to imagine, you are on the verge of a breakthrough. As you surf the chaotic flow and monitor the confusing hubbub, you are brewing the perfect conditions for an outburst of creativity. Rejoice in the blessing of not knowing! GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
*Sant* is a Hindi word that comes from a Sanskrit verb meaning "to be good" and "to be real." Personally, I know a lot of people who are either real or good. But few are both. The good ones tend to be overly polite, and the real ones don't put a high priority on being nice. So here's your assignment, Gemini: to be good and real; to have compassionate intentions even as you conduct yourself with a high degree of authenticity; to bestow blessings everywhere you go while at the same time being honest and clear and deep. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have the power to pull off this strenuous feat.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let's take a look back at the first three months of 2013. How have you been doing? If I'm reading the astrological markers accurately, you have jettisoned a portion of the psychic gunk that had accumulated in you during the past six years. You have partially redeemed the shadowy side of your nature and you have to some degree ripened the most immature
part. There's also the matter of your heart. You have managed some healing of a wound that had festered there for a long time. So here's my question for you: Is it possible for you to do more of this good work? The target date for completion is your birthday.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Naturalist
Charles Darwin formulated the theory of evolution, which has been one of history's most influential hypotheses. A crucial event in his early development as a scientist was a five-year boat trip he took around the world when he was in his twenties. The research he conducted along the way seeded many of his unique ideas. The writing he did established his reputation as a noteworthy author. And yet before his journey, his father tried to talk him out of embarking, calling it a "wild scheme" and "a useless undertaking." Did your parents or other authorities ever have a similar response to one of your brilliant projects? If so, now would be a good time to heal the wound caused by their opposition.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I've got three sets of affirmations for you, Virgo. Say them out loud and see if they might work for you. 1. "I will be engrossed in fascinating experiences that feed my curiosity, but I will not be obsessed with grueling frustrations that drain my energy." 2. "I will be committed to love if it opens my eyes and heart, but I will not be infatuated with maddening conundrums that jiggle my fear." 3. "I will give myself freely to learning opportunities that offer me valuable lessons I can use to improve my life, but I will be skeptical toward rough-edged tests that ask far more from me than they offer in return." LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "Pole of inaccessibility" is a term that explorers use to identify places on the Earth that are hard -- and interesting! -- to get to. On each continent, it's usually considered to be the spot that's farthest from the coastline. For instance, there's a pole of inaccessibility near the frozen center of Antarctica. Its elevation is over 12,000 feet and it has the planet's coldest average temperatures. As for the oceanic pole of inaccessibility,
it's an area in the South Pacific that's most remote from land. By my reckoning, Libra, you would benefit from identifying what your own personal version of this point is, whether it's literal or metaphorical. I think it's also a great time to transform your relationship with it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Every April, the ancient Romans celebrated a festival known as Robigalia. Among the rites they performed were ceremonies to exorcize the god of rust and mildew. I suggest you consider reviving that old practice, Scorpio. You would benefit from spending a few days waging war against insidious rot. You could start by scrubbing away all the sludge, scum, and gunk from your home, car, and workplace. Next, make a similar effort on a metaphorical level. Scour the muck, glop, and grime out of your psyche.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): "You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I'll be waiting." Tinkerbell says that to Peter Pan in J.M. Barrie's famous story. Sometime soon, I think you should whisper words like those to a person or animal you love. It's time for you to be as romantic and lyrical as possible. You need to bestow and attract the nourishment that comes from expressing extravagant tenderness. For even better results, add this sweetness from French poet Paul Valéry: "I am what is changing secretly in you." And try this beauty from Walt Whitman: "We were together. I forget the rest."
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Naturalist John Muir (18381914) had an ecstatic relationship with the California wilderness. He studied it as a scientist and he worshiped it as a mystical devotee. During the course of his communion with the glaciers and peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains, he came close to seeing them as living entities that evolved over long periods of time. "Glaciers move in tides," he wrote. "So do mountains. So do all things." With Muir as your inspiration, I invite you to identify
April - 18th, 2013 © Copyright 2012 4th Rob Brezsny the very gradual currents and tides that have flowed for years through your own life, Capricorn. It's prime time to deepen your understanding and appreciation of the big, slow-moving cycles that have brought you to where you are today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): American author William Faulkner won a Nobel Prize for literature, an indication that he had abundant talent. The prose he wrote was often experimental, cerebral, and complex. He was once asked what he would say to readers who found it difficult to grasp his meaning "even after reading it two or three times." His reply: "Read it four times." My counsel to you, Aquarius, is similar. When faced with a challenging event or situation that taxes your understanding, keep working to understand it even past the point where you would normally quit. There will be rewards, I promise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
"Dear Rob: I just consulted an astrologer, and he told me that my planets are very weak because they're in the wrong houses and have bad aspects. Please tell me what this means. Am I cursed? Is there any way to remedy my afflictions? - Paranoid Pisces." Dear Pisces: Whoever told you that nonsense is an incompetent astrologer. You shouldn't heed him. There's no such thing as one's planets being weak or being in the wrong houses or having bad aspects. There may be challenges, but those are also opportunities. Luckily, the coming weeks will be prime time for you Pisceans to overthrow the influence of inept "experts" and irresponsible authorities like him. Reclaim your power to define your own fate from anyone who has stolen it from you.

~Mike Butler
My cousin Debbie has been studying and recording the Mike Uncorked is genealogy of my family (BUTLER) Brought to you by for many years and it’s been Brison –quite IN April 4th but add fascinating to look at. to the re We had a family reunion a few years back and I attended with 9701 Commercial St. Greenwich my father, mother and sisters and was overwhelmed by the stories of the past; the hardships that the earliest members of Scott Brison, M.P. my family went through to establish themselves. It was incredible to “place myself” during Confederation, the Halifax Explosion, and the days of Privateers through these stories. Most of my family were farmers, from Germany, starting under the name Barkhouse and 542-4010 eventually the Butler came into 101A - 24 Harbourside Drive, ʻRailtownʼ play, which means we added
some English heritage into the mix somewhere along the way. I know I look like my father, he looks like his mother and she looked like her Grandmother... but photos can only do so much. Knowing my family's past health issues has made me more aware of how to potentially care for myself. And hearing stories about how hardworking my ancestors were certainly puts my strong work attitude into perspective. And those are just some of my observations... so I’m anxious to see how the workshop goes this Sunday and I hope to see you there!

Coquille St Jacques Chef Kerina Dykstra | 300-1268 | kerina@letseatns.com | letseatns.com I have to say, Coquille St Jacques is one of my favourite ways to enjoy scallops! I admit, it takes a little more time to prepare but it's totally worth the extra effort! I strayed a little from the traditional method and with the addition of the Oyster mushrooms, in my opinion, it really boosts the flavour in this already luxurious meal. Enjoy this special dish as an appetizer or with your favourite veggies for a delightful main course. As always -- Have A Tasty Day! ~ Chef Kerina
Coquille St Jacques Serves 4
• 1 lb Fresh Scallops • 6 tbsp Butter • 8 oz Oyster Mushrooms, cleaned • • • • • • • • • •
and diced 3-4 Shallots, finely chopped ¾ cup White Wine 2 tbsp Flour ½ cup Milk ¼ cup Heavy Cream 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme, chopped Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper Bread crumbs Grated Swiss or Gruyère cheese Chopped Parsley

Chef Kerina Dykstra 902-300-1268
Preparation: 1 Remove the side muscle from the
scallops and lay them out on paper towel to dry them. Season the scallops with salt and pepper on both sides.
2 Heat the butter in a heavy bottom
sauté pan on high heat and sear the scallops a few at a time. Remove the scallops with tongs or a slotted spoon and set aside.
3 Add the mushrooms and shallots to the same pan and sauté until slightly brown and aromatic. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4 Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce by two thirds. Whisk in the flour, then the milk and cream. If the sauce is too thick add a little water, milk or more cream to thin it out.
5 Add the scallops and mushrooms, simmer for a few minutes, just until the scallops are cooked and the mushrooms are soft.
6 Add the thyme and adjust the seasoning as required.
7 Preheat the oven broiler. Divide
the scallops and mushroom sauce evenly among 4 scallop dishes. Top each with bread crumbs and cheese. Broil the dishes until golden brown and bubbly.
8 Sprinkle with freshly chopped
parsley and enjoy! 183 Commercial St, Berwick unionstreetcafe.ca Chef Kerina Dykstra 538-7787 300-1268 / kerina@letseatns.com / "handmade food and fun" letseatns.com

Who's Who: RASHANA: The Sound of Guidance!
H
ow do you describe one of the most unique people you’ve ever met in 500 words?…. oh you blasted Grapevine word limit… Here goes:
to be released on Amazon. She has produced two CDs Meditations from the Heart and Blessings for a Soulful Home and her third book is in the works; entitled Conversations with a Tree. This book came about when Rashana was appreciating a large hemlock on the Millennium Trail and felt a message from the tree. The novel focuses on finding our way back to our true nature through nature.
Rashana. That is her name. Her one word name (like Madonna or Cher) came to her during a meditation 20 years ago and eventually she had it legally changed. Rashana is an Alternative Therapist. She was educated in Human Services, Counselingbased Community Services and Family Studies. She is trained in basic Homeopathy, Reiki Master, Healing Touch and Shamanic Work and she’s also a certified Hypnotherapist. Rashana does channeling work, offering guidance from angels and archangels to her clients and providing messages of love and life changing support. She was born in Halifax but moved to Wolfville last June and she says of her new surroundings “I have a deep love of the land and Blomidon moves my soul. Wolfville is such a vibrant town. I love that it is a small community but so alive. I have lived all around the Maritimes but when I moved to Wolfville last year I felt like this is home. That was the first time in my life that I had that knowing.” In the year 2000 Rashana started using sound in her spiritual and therapeutic practices and it’s stemmed into what she calls the Songs of Light. The response to Rashana’s sound therapy techniques has been universally positive and she now offers Sound Circles in FOUR locations in Nova Scotia including one
Visit Rashana’s website at www.rashana.ca to see what it’s all about, check out her channeled videos on Youtube, or visit her blog http:// www.lovespeak-rashana.blogspot.com. Do you ever wish to get the answers ‘from above’ to your big questions? She also offers channeling sessions for $30.00 a half hour either in person or via Skype or phone.
on April 4th at 32 Marsh Hawk Dr., Wolfville from 6-8:00 p.m. I know that’s TODAY but… there’s more to come. There’s a $10.00 fee and registration is required. Please email rashana88@gmail.com to register or if you have questions. You can catch the next Sound Circle in Coldbrook on April 10th at the Lazy Brook Healing Centre. Rashana has written two eBooks, Healing with Love, Messages for the New Earth, which is a collection of questions gathered from her friends and acquaintances with channeled answers and The Spiritual Seeker’s Guide to Happiness which is a collection of essays channeled from The Council of Nine, soon
And even though this creative soul has dabbled in pottery, stained glass, sewing, needle work and painting; it’s her love of the outdoors (hiking, camping and staring at Blomidon), her immense connection with nature and her spiritual guides that fuel her career. Rashana’s ideal vision harkens to the movie Avatar, “when the whole community was sitting together, with their arms touching so they were all connected, to offer healing. My dream is that someday we will be lovingly supporting each other that way, in the understanding that as we heal one, we are healing the whole”.

because you deserve to jingle and clang” and the other was a poem by Hans Bes which read:
taught a Chakra Yoga Workshop in the mornings this past October to a wonderful woman who found my ad on kijiji. We shared many stories. During this time, I was also taking belly dance lessons and I told her that one of my favourite things about belly dancing was the opportunity to play dress up every week. We finished the Chakra Yoga Workshop and I started teaching many more yoga classes after Christmas. I had to stop going to belly dance classes as a result of my busier schedule.
While I dance, I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. That is why I dance. Susan, your random act of kindness was the nicest gift I have EVER received. You have touched my heart and soul in a way that words cannot express. My gratitude will be expressed through the joy I feel each time I put on that BEAUTIFUL outfit and DANCE! THANK YOU! ~Jenn
