The Kings County Cultural Map We are very excited to announce the launch of the Kings County Cultural Map, which will be held on the evening of February 6th!
Important details...
important role in defining and enhancing our quality of life as well as developing economic sustainability in the region. The cultural map offers a ‘one-stopshop’ for a full range of local cultural assets in every corner of the County. While the map gives the physical lay of cultural assets in Kings County, it also makes visible ‘intangible’ cultural assets such as stories and histories. These intangibles are captured through a multimedia process of digital storytelling, whereby first-person narratives of local residents have been recorded and embedded into the map. These stories focus on the impact of local arts practices and cultural activities, and look at the role local residents play in creating a vibrant cultural milieu.
When: Wednesday, February 6th 6:30pm Where: Kingstec, room 2101 (238 Belcher Street, Kentville) Who: Open to the public! What: The launch will include
an explanation and demonstration of the map, viewings of selected digital stories, and an opportunity to ask questions about the project. The Alliance of Kings Artists will be holding their AGM directly following the map launch (with a few minutes in between for snacks and mingling!) The Kings County Cultural Map represents culture in the area on an interactive, open-sourced, and community-driven map. The map includes places, groups, businesses, and stories that connect us to our cultural landscape.
We hope to see you there! Genevieve Allen Project Manager kingsculturalmap@gmail.com

t’s a food event. It’s a local beer and wine occasion. It’s a gala. It’s a fundraiser. It’s tourism. It’s culinary arts. It’s Fire and Ice. Thursday February 7th hundreds of people gather to mingle, munch and appreciate local food, wine and beer at NSCC Kingstec campus. The event is hosted by the Tourism Management and Culinary Arts programs, where students get an opportunity to practice their event skills in a real life setting. Your event ticket ($50 available through New Minas Rotary Club members) gets you through the front doors, a wine glass in hand and access to more than twenty food, wine and beer tasting stations. The food menu is prepared by the Culinary Arts students, the drinks are presented by local wineries and breweries, and it’s all set amidst ice carvings, grape vine decorations, sparkling lights and live music. 2013 marks the 5th anniversary of the evening event. Tens of thousands of dollars have been raised to support both local and international projects coordinated by the New Minas Rotary Club. NSCC Tourism Management instructor Nicole Robinson says, “This is an exciting project for our students and for the community. We have a great partnership with the New Minas Rotary club which allows us to immerse the students in all aspects of the planning and running of the event, while making a difference to the lives of others through our fundraising initiatives”. Tickets are also available by calling 690-2183.

David Silverberg D
avid Silverberg was born in Montreal in 1936. From an early age he displayed a talent for drawing and by the age of seven was attending art classes given by Group of Seven master Arthur Lismer at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. It was not until after attaining a BA from McGill University in 1957 that he made the decision to pursue art for a lifetime. Silverberg’s chosen medium, engraving, dates to the fifteenth century and is one of the most unforgiving of traditional artistic media. It is a form of printmaking in which the artist, with a sharp tool called a burin, incises linear marks in a
collaboration on a project’s outcomes. It is important to her that clients receive not only one-of-a-kind artwork but also a unique and memorable experience. From the inkling of an idea shining out from a shoebox stuffed with old photographs and letters through to the placement of a uniquely framed collection in the client’s home, the process of creation at The Custom Cottage is personal, thoughtful and fun from start to finish. And the fun doesn't end there: The Custom Cottage artists have not only made themselves available to produce art for clients, but also
to teach their craft through intimately sized workshops and classes where participants create their own uncommon treasures.

As much as the DIY movement strikes an appealing chord, DIY can also signal disaster in the making, adding to the collection of sentimental broken things awaiting the eternal promise of a gorgeous mosaic resurrection.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo
T
he Acadia Performing Arts Series is pleased to present Ladysmith Black Mambazo on Tuesday, February 5th at 7:30pm at Convocation Hall in Wolfville. Tickets are on sale at the Acadia Box Office.
Convocation Hall, February 5th
For over forty years, the voices of Ladysmith Black Mambazo have married the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music. In the mid-1980s, Paul Simon visited South Africa and incorporated Black Mambazo’s rich tenor/alto/bass harmonies into his Graceland album – a landmark 1986 recording that was considered seminal in introducing world music to mainstream audiences. "Graceland" won many awards including the Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year. The Wolfville concert is Ladysmith’s only Nova Scotia date on this tour. For tickets, call the Acadia Box Office at 1-800-542-TICK (8425) or 5425500. To order online, go to boxoffice.acadiau.ca Info: Peter, 585-1282 / peter.smith@acadiau.ca

The Grapevine 24 - February 2013 For the week of January 24th, 2013January © Copyright 2012 Rob 7, Brezsny
Rob Brezsny's
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The
German government sponsored a scientific study of dowsing, which is a form of magical divination used to locate underground sources of water. After ten years, the chief researcher testified, "It absolutely works, beyond all doubt. But we have no idea why or how." An assertion like that might also apply to the mojo you'll have at your disposal, Aries, as you forge new alliances and bolster your web of connections in the coming weeks. I don't know how or why you'll be such an effective networker, but you will be.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The United States Congress spends an inordinate amount of time on trivial matters. For example, 16 percent of all the laws it passed in the last two years were devoted to renaming post offices. That's down from the average of the previous eight years, during which time almost 20 percent of its laws had the sole purpose of renaming post offices. In my astrological opinion, you Tauruses can't afford to indulge in anything close to that level of nonsense during the next four weeks. I urge you to keep time-wasting activities down to less than five percent of your total. Focus on getting a lot of important stuff done. Be extra thoughtful and responsible as you craft the impact you're having on the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What if your unconscious mind has dreamed up sparkling answers to your raging questions but your conscious mind doesn't know about them yet? Is it possible you are not taking advantage of the sly wisdom that your deeper intelligence has been cooking up? I say it's time to poke around down there. It's time to take aggressive measures as you try to smoke out the revelations that your secret self has prepared for you. How? Remember your dreams, of course. Notice hunches that arise out of nowhere. And send a friendly greeting to your unconscious mind, something like, "I adore you and I'm receptive to you and I'd love to hear what you have to tell me."
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In
his book Our Band Could Be Your Life, Michael Azerrad says that the Cancerian singer-songwriter Steve Albini is a "connoisseur of intensity." That means he's picky about what he regards as intense. Even the two kinds of music that are often thought of as the embodiment of ferocious emotion don't make the grade for Albini. Heavy metal is comical, he says, not intense. Hardcore punk is childish, not intense. What's your definition of intensity, Cancerian? I see the coming weeks as prime time for you to commune with the very best expressions of that state of being. Be a connoisseur of intensity.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There's a
butterfly sanctuary at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It's called the Enchanted Garden. As you enter, you see a sign that reads, "Please do not touch the butterflies. Let the butterflies touch you." In other words, you shouldn't initiate contact with the delicate creatures. You shouldn't pursue them or try to capture them. Instead, make yourself available for them to land on you. Allow them to decide how and when your connection will begin to unfold. In the coming week, Leo, I suggest you adopt a similar approach to any beauty you'd like to know better.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do you ever fantasize about a more perfect version of yourself? Is there, in your imagination, an idealized image of who you might become in the future? That can be a good thing if it motivates you to improve and grow. But it might also lead you to devalue the flawed but beautiful creation you are right now. It may harm your capacity for self-acceptance. Your assignment in the coming week is to temporarily forget about whom you might evolve into at some later date, and instead just love your crazy, mysterious life exactly as it is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Novelist Jeffrey Eugenides says he doesn't have generic emotions that can be described with
Ethnic and Local Emporium
one word. "Sadness," "joy," and "regret" don't happen to him. Instead, he prefers "complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions," like "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy" or "the excitement of getting a hotel room with a mini-bar." He delights in sensing "intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members" and "sadness inspired by failing restaurants." In the coming days, Libra, I think you should specialize in one-of-a-kind feelings like these. Milk the nuances! Exult in the peculiarities! Celebrate the fact that each new wave of passion has never before arisen in quite the same form.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): After analyzing your astrological omens for the coming weeks, I decided that the best advice I could give you would be this passage by the English writer G. K. Chesterton: "Of all modern notions, the worst is this: that domesticity is dull. Inside the home, they say, is dead decorum and routine; outside is adventure and variety. But the truth is that the home is the only place of liberty, the only spot on earth where a person can alter arrangements suddenly, make an experiment or indulge in a whim. The home is not the one tame place in a world of adventure; it is the one wild place in a world of set rules and set tasks." SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): My general philosophy is that everyone on the planet, including me, is a jerk now and then. In fact, I'm suspicious of those who are apparently so unfailingly well-behaved that they NEVER act like jerks. On the other hand, some people are jerks far too much of the time, and should be avoided. Here's my rule of thumb: How sizable is each person's Jerk Quotient? If it's below six percent, I'll probably give them a chance to be a presence in my life -- especially if they're smart and interesting. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Sagittarius, this gauge may be useful for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks.
Handmade gifts by local & international artisans.
Mon - Sat 1 - 4 pm
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The French painter Cezanne painted images of a lot of fruit in the course of his career. He liked to take his sweet time while engaged in his work. The apples and pears and peaches that served as his models often rotted before he was done capturing their likenesses. That's the kind of approach I recommend for you in the coming days, Capricorn. Be very deliberate and gradual and leisurely in whatever labor of love you devote yourself to. No rushing allowed! With conscientious tenderness, exult in attending to every last detail of the process. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it." So said the eccentric, outspoken, and hard-partying actress Talullah Bankhead (1902-1968). Can you guess her astrological sign? Aquarius, of course. Her greatest adventure came from trying to keep up with all the unpredictable urges that welled up inside her. She found it challenging and fun to be as unique as she could possibly be. I nominate her to be your role model in the next four weeks. Your assignment is to work extra hard at being yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Dardanelles Strait is a channel that connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, separating Europe from Asia. In some places it's less than a mile wide. But the currents are fierce, so if you try to swim across at those narrow points, you're pushed around and end up having to travel five or six miles. In light of the current astrological omens, I'm predicting that you will have a comparable challenge in the coming days, Pisces. The task may seem easier or faster than it actually is. Plan accordingly.

RENT!!!
here are five hundred twentyfive thousand six hundred reasons why you should read this article! Edalene Theatre, the company that brought you the hit musical productions of Footloose, Newsies, Little Shop of Horrors, The Wedding Singer and 2012’s smash JUMP, takes on one of the most celebrated and widely seen musicals of all-time, RENT! This rock musical with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson and based on Puccini’s Opera La boheme, tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City under the shadow of the HIV/AIDS crisis. The play spans a year in the lives of these artists as they cope with friendships, love, laughter and finding themselves. RENT was nominated in 1996 for ten Tony Awards and won four including Best Musical and now you can experience RENT right here in Wolfville. RENT is a more serious and more mature departure for Edelane Theatre but Director Kerri Leier feels confident that this play will find an audience. The plays musical director, Melissa Vidito (pictured with me) has worked tirelessly to teach the cast (and the band) the powerful ballads that lace the story together and with next to no spoken dialogue, RENT was a great challenge for Melissa but it all paid off! Tracy Nasson Fritz stunningly choreographs the productions inspirational, intense and very emotional songs and you will be blown away! There are five hundred twentyfive thousand six hundred things I

Dutch Potato Soup From Jenny Osburn of Union Street Cafe • www.localfoodlover@blogspot.com
W
e're big on soup, both at home and at my restaurant, Union Street Cafe. I come by my Big Soup Love honestly. My mother kept us fed and healthy on a variety of mostly-vegetarian soups, soups made from cookbooks with names like Diet for a Small Planet and the Vegetarian Epicure. This Dutch Potato Soup was a childhood favourite of mine, a recipe I had memorized by the time I left home. I've made it at home, in a makeshift campsite kitchen on Salt Spring Island and at the Cafe, and it's always hit the spot. While the ingredients look humble, the flavour is big and comforting. You can even leave out the cheese and it's still very delicious. As always with soup, the key to success is seasoning. Add salt, then taste taste taste, adding a little more if you think it needs it. A crusty loaf of bread and a spinach salad with dried cranberries and chopped apples would be lovely things to serve alongside this on a dreary January evening.
Dutch Potato Soup
adapted from Anna Thomas' Vegetarian Epicure
5 medium Potatoes, cubed 2 teaspoons Salt 1/3 cup Butter 2 large onions, diced 2 teaspoons Dill Seed, lightly crushed (or Cumin) 2 Bay Leaves 3 tablespoons Flour 2 cups Milk 6 oz. Gouda or Swiss Cheese, grated (about 2 cups, grated) 1 tablespoon Paprika 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Freshly ground Pepper
T
he Kingsport Osteopathic Clinic was started by Osteopath Sarah Hayes in 1996 and has attracted practitioners from across Europe including France, Switzerland, and Finland. Originally envisioned as a small private practice, the clinic quickly expanded to accommodate the growing demand for this gentle, effective health care system which treats the body as a functional whole. Our practice is family centered and serves patients of all ages. The Open House has been designed to educate new and existing patients to the wide range of benefits offered by osteopathic care. Every hour there will be a short presentation about one aspect of osteopathy and free assessments are offered throughout the day by the new members of our staff. These assessments give new patients a chance to personally meet our osteopaths and experience our unique approach to treatment. You may discover that osteopathy can help you.
Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with the salt and just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 10-15 minutes depending on size. Leave the potatoes and their water in the pot, but turn off the heat. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat and add the onions. Stir and cook until onions are clear and tender, about 5 minutes, then add the dill seed and bay leaves. Sprinkle in the flour, and stirring constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon, slowly add the milk. When the mixture is smooth and thickened, scrape it all into the soup pot with the potatoes. Turn the heat back on to medium low under the soup pot and combine everything. Sprinkle in the cheese, stirring until it melts, then add the paprika and Worcestershire. Taste for salt and add a few grinds of pepper before serving to your delighted family.

[ Brewster and the Seal...part 2 ] Editor's Note: This is a continuation of W. Ells' Postcard stories entitled 'Rockets & Ramona'. Download past Grapevines or the GVPodcast for the full narrative.
W
ithin a few seconds, Brewster was airborne. All of the teenagers laughed their heartiest laughs of the semester, including the usually gloomy, Sonny Dubois. Meanwhile, Brewster oscillated between rebounding off of the sand, limbs flayed, and flying back into the sea breeze. It may have appeared that he was a puppet capable of incredible leaps. Looking back, the so-called accident really couldn’t have been foreseen. What looked like a clump of seaweed was actually the bloated carcass of a dead seal. On a particularly impressive descent from the sky, Brewster had lodged one of his neon high-tops deep into the ribcage of the water-logged beast. Considering the extra load, the flight path switched abruptly toward the beach outhouse. There was a distinct FWAPP! as Brewster, and the seal, plunged through the outhouse’s plywood side and everything came to a slippery, bloody, stinky halt. The students whooped and cheered as Brewster worked himself free of the messes. Brewster was fine. Just fine. On the way back to school, each student took a turn re-telling the events as they had seen them. Mr. Ells sat in the front, with his back to the students, enjoying their words and laughter. He fumbled absently with an origami elephant folded from thick card stock that he found in his hand, and thought about big things in small packages.

Who's Who: Michele Beaton: Life on the Wild Lily Side!
E
very morning I sit at TAN Coffee on Main Street, Wolfville and stare across the street at Wild Lily and say to myself, “Mike, they have been open for a while and you haven’t been in to see what they have to offer, shame on you”. Well, I decided to mix business with pleasure and write a Who’s Who profile about Michele Beaton, owner of Wild Lily, that way I had to pay her and her wonderful store a visit! Michele Beaton (formerly Weatherbee) grew up in New Minas. She attended Horton High School and later Acadia University. And even though Michele has backpacked thru Fiji, New Zealand and Australia and lived in New Jersey, Vancouver and Toronto, she now calls Kentville home! She married her sweetheart Bruce, a former Acadia Football and twelve year CFL player, and they have two children, Layla and Sam, who Michele refers to as her pride and joy! That’s Michele the mother and wife, now it’s onto Michele the business woman. She says “When Sam was ready to start school I was ready to start a new adventure. After some soul searching I felt I would get the most joy out of owning a beautiful
retail store. I have always loved working in retail, and felt it was time to take this big step.” So, almost four years ago, Michele opened a home décor store in Kentville named Harvest in a beautifully restored older home. It was such a wonderful experience that she then opened a second shop across the street from Harvest and she called it Wild Lily and filled it with beautiful womens clothing that you couldn't find in the area. Michele’s retail adventure continued in May of 2012 when she combined her two stores into one gorgeous new location on Main Street in Wolfville, keeping the name Wild Lily! And what a shop it is everyone! Wild Lily is a perfect store for Wolfville because the products offered are as unique and extraordinary as the people who live here. You’ll find beautiful
jewelry, clothing, home decor items, soaps, linens, cards and more. Michele says one of her main goals with Wild Lily is to create an experience for their customers. They love it when people come in "just because it makes them feel good" or "to feel inspired" or just to listen to the forties music that they always have playing. Michele works with her best friend Sandy (who has been with her since day one of the retail adventure!), as well as her new friends on staff: Melissa, Nicole, Cait and Ellie. They believe retail is more than just purchasing beautiful things – it’s about friendship, connection, humour and sharing life experiences. Look for Wild Lily on Facebook, leave your email address at the shop when you visit so you’re kept informed of new and exciting things.

Brought to you by: Daniels’ Flower Shop Ltd. 40 Water St, Windsor 798-5337 www.danielsflowershop.net It was SMILE cookie week at Tim Hortons. I was going through the drivethru with my four-year old son to get him his cookie, but when I got to the window, I was handed a cookie for free! Apparently, a few cars ahead, a gentleman had paid for the cookie with the instruction of giving it to the next child who came through the drive thru! I decided to pay it forward, so the next time I was in Tim Hortons, I also bought a cookie, leaving the instruction to give it to the next child who came through! ~ Jenny, Kentville
