"There IS a cure for the Summertime Blues"
Organizer Jay Chetwynd explains, "The intent of this festival is to give people an option for a STAYCATION that is both appealing and affordable. Our pricing is extremely low and there are no $7 plastic cups of beer, $4 bottles of water, etc. We want everyone to be able to have a good, full weekend and we'd love you to come back next year. A lot of the bands on the bill have worked with us by playing for reasonable rates, they understand the importance of working together to build this event into something huge!”

Congratulations
Grand Pré!
The WolfviIle Business Development Corporation (WBDC) congratulates the Grand Pré community and the community-based Nomination Grand Pré Advisory Board for being selected a UNESCO World Heritage Site on June 30th in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. “This is an unbelievable opportunity to share the unique culture and heritage of Grand Pré with the world. The anticipated growth in tourism is exciting and the associated economic spinoffs will have a significant and lasting impact on local businesses,” said David Hovell, Executive Director, WBDC. “We have always known Grand Pré was a jewel of the Annapolis Valley. It was here that the Annapolis Valley’s reputation as a place to produce innovative and quality food products began. The Annapolis Valley’s signature L’Acadie Blanc grape varietal has its roots in this region and symbolizes the strength and determination of those who worked the soil hundreds of years ago,” added Hovell. Grand Pre was selected because,
the marshland and archaeological sites constitute a cultural landscape bearing testimony to the development of agricultural farmland using dykes and the aboiteau wooden sluice system, started by the Acadians in the 17th century and further developed and maintained by the Planters and present day inhabitants. The site – marked by one of the most extreme tidal ranges in the world, averaging at 11.6 metres – is also inscribed as a memorial to Acadian way of life and deportation, which started in 1755. Over 1,300 hectares, the landscape encompasses a large expanse of polder farmland and archaeological elements of the towns of Grand Pré and Hortonville, which were built by the British successors of the Acadians. The landscape is an exceptional example of the adaptation of the first European settlers to the conditions of the North American Atlantic coast and an iconic place of remembrance of the Acadians’ deportation, known as the Grand Dérangement. Compiled with parts of the WBDC press release and the Grand Pre description found on: whc.unesco.org

Foxhill Pasteurized, Non-Homogenized Milk www.foxhillcheesehouse.com/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions Do you only have whole milk? Will you be offering other products? We are currently only offering whole milk. There are no other products planned for the near future. Is your milk pasteurized? Yes, our milk is pasteurized for your safety and ours. It is against the law to sell raw unpasteurized milk in Canada. What is the difference between homogenized milk and nonhomogenized milk? Homogenization breaks the fat globules in milk into smaller sizes which makes milk more uniform in consistency and appearance. In Foxhill milk, the cream will rise to the top.
Canadian Classic to open Valley Summer Theatre’s 4th Season Valley Summer Theatre is delighted to lead off its 2012 season with Wingfield’s Progress, the second instalment of the classic Canadian “Walt Wingfield” series of plays. With the spectre of urban development looming can Walt Wingfield save the day? Wingfield’s Progress is the story of Walt’s passionate response to a threat only he perceives. Larkspur and its residents are back at their hilarious best in this sequel to Letter from Wingfield Farm (which Valley Summer Theatre featured in 2010). Bruce Klinger, Valley Summer Theatre’s Executive Producer, says “We think Wingfield’s Progress is a great way to kick off our fourth season. It is not only incredibly funny, it also deals with subject matter on a lot of people’s minds – the selling off of farm land for other development.” Klinger adds, “We do want to point out that Valley Summer Theatre in no way endorses Walt Wingfield’s rather unique way of dealing with the issue.” Wingfield’s Progress runs from July 5 to 21. New this summer is special opening weekend

pricing. Ticket prices for the performances from July 6th to 8th will be $25 for adults and $20 for students (HST included). After opening weekends the prices will be $30 for adults and $23 for students (HST included). Discounts are available for two play subscriptions when tickets to Valley Summer Theatre’s second 2012 production, Educating Rita, are also purchased. Tickets are available at the Box of Delights Bookstore in Wolfville; by calling toll free to 1-877845-1341 or online from www. ticketpro.ca
Is your milk organic? Fox Hill Farm is not certified organic. However, we produce our milk as naturally as possible. We plant the seed, grow the grass, milk the cows and use our fresh milk to make our products for YOU! Does your milk contain antibiotics or growth hormones? No, dairy regulations have zero tolerance for antibiotics or growth hormones in milk. Is whole milk bad for me? Milk is a very healthy product which contains 16 nutrients that are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Some fat in the diet is essential for good health. Without it, our bodies wouldn't be able to process vitamins A, D, E and K, which are fat-soluble and need some fat to be absorbed. Will you be selling lactose free milk? No. Where can I buy your milk? Our milk is available at Fox Hill Cheese House, The Wolfville Farmers' Market, Port Williams and Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market locations. Can we use our own glass bottles? Due to food safety regulations, we are unable to use any bottles other than our own. They are designed to fit into our bottle washing and sanitizing equipment and undergo frequent inspection for cracks, chips and breaks. Do we fill the bottles ourselves? No, you do not fill your own bottles. To ensure a safe product, we bottle our milk at 4°C under very sanitary conditions. Each bottle is sealed with a tamper evident cap and labelled with a best before date. This is all done according to federal regulation. How much is the milk? How much are the bottles? Why are they sold separately? Our whole milk is $3.00 per litre ($3.50 for chocolate). It is a specialty product, comparable to organic milk or goat’s milk. The bottles are $2.25 plus tax. We sell the milk and bottle separately so that the bottles can be exchanged and you are able to purchase the milk separately. Government regulation does not allow us to charge a refundable deposit. If you have any other questions that are not answered here, please don't hesitate to send us an e-mail at foxhillfarm@ns.sympatico.ca

or struggling teachers learn to be effective classroom managers,” says Dr. Robert Harris, one of the program’s creators. Designed for flexibility in delivery, the virtual learning environment can be accessed via Internet or CD-ROM.
That’s the premise behind Managing to Teach (M2T), an interactive multimedia learning tool designed to give beginning teachers an opportunity to explore classroom management decision-making in a safe, virtual environment.
The idea for M2T originated with Dr. Heather Stephens in Acadia’s School of Education. Stephens then approached Dr. Scott Follows from Acadia’s School of Business since he had designed other virtual learning environments. Harris was invited to join the project because he brought 20 years of experience as a school administrator to the table and had taught education.
“Managing to Teach consistently focuses on authentic situations, giving the teacher ready-touse tools and techniques. It is incredibly valuable,” says Julie Crocker about the School of Education’s innovative M2T program.
The team brought M2T to fruition with the help of development funding provided by Acadia University, the Nova Scotia Department of Economic Development, and InNOVAcorp through the Early Stage Commercialization Fund (ESCF).
In this virtual learning environment, students are shown a series of videos of "struggling" and "proficient" classroom management situations involving real public school students. Beginner teachers are then asked to complete interactive assignments and are provided with immediate feedback by the program’s guides.
“The program was developed,” Follows says, “to try to solve a significant problem in the field of education. Many new teachers leave the profession within the first five years of becoming teachers often because they were not able to properly manage a classroom.”
“The program includes all manner of real material and strategies to help beginner students and/
Follows says classroom management is unfortunately a training area often addressed inconsistently in teacher preparation programs. This could
be because of a lack of tools, a lack of knowledge about how to address the subject or a lack of comfort with the subject matter. M2T is designed to eliminate these problems. Crocker, who is now a full-time English teacher with Open Acadia, says she frequently applies the M2T program principles. “I often adapt its methods and materials for my adult learners. M2T is applicable for teachers at any level, whether elementary, secondary or postsecondary.” The M2T project is a huge success not only for the School of Education, but for Acadia, Follows says. “It reinforces Acadia University’s leadership in the area of education and the use of technology to enhance the educational experience.” For more information on the Managing to Teach program, visit:

m2t.acadiau.ca. Update: The M2T program is now part of the My Education Lab collection of web resources that are included as course-enrichment extras with a variety of education-based textbooks published by Pearson Canada. In addition, it is now a central resource connected to the textbook Becoming a Teacher, co-authored by Stephens and also published by Pearson Education. This is now in its fourth edition and has been adopted by over 15 schools of education in Canada. It should also be added that Dave Sheehan, Acadia’s video producer, also played a key role in producing the videos the program uses.

Rob Brezsny's
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Members of the Nevada Republican Party have concocted a bizarre version of family values. A large majority of them are opposed to gay marriage and yet are all in favor of legal brothels. Their wacky approach to morality is as weird as that of the family values crowd in Texas, which thinks it's wrong to teach adolescents about birth control even though this has led to a high rate of teen pregnancies. My question is, why do we let people with screwed-up priorities claim to be the prime caretakers of "family values"? In accordance with the astrological omens, I urge you to reject the conventional wisdom as you clarify what that term means to you. It's an excellent time to deepen and strengthen your moral foundation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
There's a term for people who have the ardor of a nymphomaniac in their efforts to gather useful information: infomaniac. That's exactly what I think you should be in the coming week. You need data and evidence, and you need them in abundance. What you don't know would definitely hurt you, so make sure you find out everything you need to know. Be as thorough as a spy, as relentless as a muckraking journalist, and as curious as a child. P.S. See if you can set aside as many of your strong opinions and emotional biases as possible. Otherwise they might distort your quest for the raw truth. Your word of power is empirical.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Of all the signs of the zodiac, you're the best at discovering short cuts. No one is more talented than you at the art of avoiding boredom. And you could teach a master course in how to weasel out of strenuous work without looking like a weasel. None of those virtues will come in handy during the coming week, however. The way I see it, you should concentrate very hard on not skipping any steps. You should follow the rules, stick to the plan, and dedicate yourself to the basics. Finish what you start, please! (Sorry about this grind-itout advice. I'm just reporting what the planetary omens are telling me.)
The Grapevine
For the week of July 5th CANCER (June 21-July 22): The
epic breadth of your imagination is legendary. Is there anyone else who can wander around the world without ever once leaving your home? Is there anyone else who can reincarnate twice in the span of few weeks without having to go through the hassle of actually dying? And yet now and then there do come times when your fantasies should be set aside so that you may soak up the teachings that flow your way when you physically venture outside of your comfort zone. Now is such a moment, my fellow Cancerian. Please don't take a merely virtual break in the action. Get yourself away from it all, even if it's only to the marvelous diversion or magic sanctuary on the other side of town.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In Norse
mythology, Fenrir was a big bad wolf that the gods were eager to keep tied up. In the beginning they tried to do it with metal chains, but the beast broke free. Then they commissioned the dwarves to weave a shackle out of six impossible things: a bear's sinews, a bird's spit, a fish's breath, a mountain's root, a woman's beard, and the sound a cat's paws made as it walked. This magic fetter was no thicker than a silk ribbon, but it worked very well. Fenrir couldn't escape from it. I invite you to take inspiration from this story, Leo. As you deal with your current dilemma, don't try to fight strength with strength. Instead, use art, craft, subtlety, and even trickery. I doubt you'll need to gather as many as six impossible things. Three will probably be enough. Two might even work fine.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a time when your personal actions will have more power than usual to affect the world around you. The ripples you set in motion could ultimately touch people you don't even know and transform situations you're not part of. That's a lot of responsibility! I suggest, therefore, that you be on your best behavior. Not necessarily your mildest, most polite behavior, mind you. Rather, be brave, impeccable, full of integrity, and a little wild.
the Stella Rose B & B
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Goldfish that are confined in small aquariums stay small. Those that spend their lives in ponds get much bigger. What can we conclude from these facts? The size and growth rate of goldfish are directly related to their environment. I'd like to suggest that a similar principle will apply to you Librans in the next ten months. If you want to take maximum advantage of your potential, you will be wise to put yourself in spacious situations that encourage you to expand. For an extra boost, surround yourself with broad-minded, uninhibited people who have worked hard to heal their wounds.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Over the years, you've explored some pretty exotic, even strange ideas about what characterizes a good time. In the coming days, I'm guessing you will add to your colorful tradition with some rather unprecedented variations on the definition of "pleasure" and "happiness." I don't mean to imply that this is a problem. Not at all. To paraphrase the Wiccan credo, as long as it harms no one (including yourself), anything goes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): There come times in your life when you have a sacred duty to be open to interesting tangents and creative diversions; times when it makes sense to wander around aimlessly with wonder in your eyes and be alert for unexpected clues that grab your attention. But this is not one of those times, in my opinion. Rather, you really do need to stay focused on what you promised yourself you would concentrate on. The temptation may be high to send out sprays of arrows at several different targets. But I hope that instead you stick to one target and take careful aim with your best shots.

get the process started is simply to acknowledge its validity and importance. Doing so will reveal a secret that will help you attend to your special need with just the right touch.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Due to the pressure-packed influences currently coming to bear on your destiny, you have Official Cosmic Permission to fling three dishes against the wall. (But no more than three.) If you so choose, you also have clearance to hurl rocks in the direction of heaven, throw darts at photos of your nemeses, and cram a coconut cream pie into your own face. Please understand, however, that taking actions like these should be just the initial phase of your master plan for the week. In the next phase, you should capitalize on all the energy you've made available for yourself through purgative acts like the ones I mentioned. Capitalize how? For starters, you could dream and scheme about how you will liberate yourself from things that make you angry and frustrated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Check to see if you're having any of the following symptoms: 1. sudden eruptions of gratitude; 2. a declining fascination with conflict; 3. seemingly irrational urges that lead you to interesting discoveries; 4. yearnings to peer more deeply into the eyes of people you care about; 5. a mounting inability to tolerate boring influences that resist transformation; 6. an increasing knack for recognizing and receiving the love that's available to you. If you're experiencing at least three of the six symptoms, you are certifiably in close alignment with the cosmic flow, and should keep doing what you've been doing. If none of these symptoms have been sweeping through you, get yourself adjusted.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I've been meditating on a certain need that you have been neglecting, Capricorn -- a need that has been chronically underestimated, belittled, or ignored, by both you and others. I am hoping that this achy longing will soon be receiving some of your smart attention and tender care. One good way to 611 Main St. • Wolfville's newest 4-1/2 star B&B

The Grapevine
was it WORTH it? Partial blog from: Ward’s Way to Fitness (wardswaytofitness.blog.ca/). He’s commenting on his 1st time participating in the WBFF – World Bodybuilding Fitness Federation – competition in Halifax on May 26th.
T and hard times associated
here were a lot of sacrifices
with getting myself ready for the stage. The most obvious of which was the diet. Truthfully, the diet wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, given the way everyone talks about it. Eating fish and greens for 5 out of 6 meals a day wasn’t pleasant and I probably won’t be eating any fish for a few weeks as a result of it, but it was only temporary. Having to give up dairy and foods like pasta and pizza was also difficult, but again probably better for me. I felt stronger and healthier during the prep than I have ever felt in my life. The training ate up a lot of my time; I was training twice a day for 16 weeks, with most training sessions taking between 45-60 minutes (longer later in the prep). Towards the end of the prep I was adding an extra 30 minutes of cardio to the end of my training
sessions to burn extra fat and calories to get me leaner for the stage. This was tough, but I love to train and push my body to reach new levels. Fitness modeling and bodybuilding is a lifestyle, not an event. Things get more strict within the lifestyle as you approach an event; but the transition should be smooth and gradual and not abrupt and unexpected. Taking a complete 180 in your lifestyle in order to get ready for show would be very difficult, but gradually introducing changes is both much easier to adjust and less stressful for your body. Deciding to compete should be something that is done well ahead of time, so you can adequately prepare your body for the tough times ahead.

Stepping on stage was both nervewracking and a phenomenal experience. I was so nervous before I stepped out there, but once I got on that stage the adrenaline took over and I had a great time. Competing with the WBFF was the most amazing experience of my life. I loved getting on that stage and showing the audience how all my hard work had shaped my body and allowed me to feel comfortable on stage in just a tiny swimsuit. It was so amazing having the lights beaming down on you, the crowd cheering you on, the music blaring in the background providing you with some extra motivation and energy.

Running a Fowl
From Nelson Penner of the Black Trumpet Cafe: www.blacktrumpetcafe.com
I
'm sorry to all the readers of this recipe series. I have always had a weakness for corny humour. Why don't you tell secrets in a corn field... So this week I decided to indulge my carnivorous nature and try to do everyone’s favourite protein "chicken" justice. As I write this I am house sitting for a colleague. They have numerous chickens, both laying hens and meat birds. I realize that might seem a tad morbid to some that I'm thinking of eating chickens as I am feeding and taking care of them, my apologies. It is interesting but I tend to observe my surroundings in their edibility. Right now I'm looking out the window at a pine tree and wondering what I could do with pine needles. I have a feeling their smoke would accent some dish quite nicely.
I am actually a huge animal lover and find the commercial production of meat to be disturbing and definitely inhumane. However, the culinary possibilities are staggering especially with chicken. I do believe that meats can be produced and prepared in a more respectable and sustainable way than is unfortunately the norm. My entire family and girlfriend are vegetarian so they may not entirely agree here. They can voice their discontent in a letter to the editor and the discussion can be continued. I do have the utmost respect and admiration for vegetarians and on some days contemplate becoming one myself.

Alejandra Ribera in Concert!
by Claire Colville
When: Thurs July 12th, 8pm. Venue: Evergreen Theatre 1941 Stronach Mountain Rd., East Margaretsville . Cost: $20 Reservations: 825-6834 / evergreentheatre@gmail.com / evergreentheatre.ca We are very pleased to present a major new talent who we have been being trying to persuade for a while to come our way. Alejandra has been a major part of the Toronto music scene for the last few years and she is finally venturing to Nova Scotia with performances at the Atlantic Jazz Festival and the Evergreen.
Brittany is a mother of two who grew up in Wolfville and comes back twice a year just to use the skate park. She bought her dress at Jane's Again.
This is an artist with international roots — born in Toronto to an Argentinian waiter and a Scottish actress, raised in the heart of the city’s gay village — and a style that reminds her listeners of Edith Piaf and Tom Waits and a louder, more powerful Joan Armatrading. Now in her mid-twenties, Ribera’s disarming humour — on and off stage — contrasts with her
Stardrop by Mark Oakley:
Stardrop is brought to you by
frequently dark material, and an unconventional life that’s been full of adventures and misadventures, — travel, and jobs in science labs, burger-joints, and energy healing. The resumé includes four days at York University’s vocal jazz programme (she dropped out to go to the mountains of Slovakia and study with a witch doctor, honest) and childhood music studies (violin, viola, choral music). Alejandra's music would be at home at a jazz club, a world music gathering or a folk festival. Her music crosses genres and borders with almost frightening ease. To see what we're so excited about, go to her website to check out her videos: alejandraribera.com

Who's Who: MIKE DAVIES: Electric Youth! M
ike Davies has been on my Who’s Who list for a very long time and finally, he agreed to a profile. I’ve worked with Mike on many jobs and I’ve always admired his expertise and attention to detail... but, I’m nosey so I wanted to know more about him. Mike falls into the “who doesn’t already know this guy” category because he’s everyone’s go-to guy for electrical work but... here’s a bit more about Mike Davies... I hope I don’t get my wires crossed! Mike was born at the EKM Hospital on December 1st, 1964 and even though anyone can do the math, Mike’s youthful appearance and energetic demeanour would lead anyone to think he was just a spring chicken... we call it “Electric Youth”. Mike is the youngest of three children, having an older brother, and of course everyone knows his sister Sharon, who presides as Office Manager, with the shop cat Bubbles, at the family business of Davies and O’Leary Ltd., at 115 Front Street in Wolfville (542-3078). And we can’t forget father Harry, who still acts as president of the company, which he started back in the early 60’s.
July 5 - July 19, 2012
Mike applied to Acadia University to take a Bachelor of Science degree, but that all changed when his dad said “I think you may want to consider becoming an electrician”. At the time, this was not Mike’s first career choice; he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Evel Knievel (I can see it, can’t you?), but after many failed jumps on a banana bike resulting in many broken bones... off to Kingstec he went where he received a diploma in Electrical Construction and acquired his electrical license in 1988. Now, this live wire knows what’s WATT and he’s MORE than precise!
After a few “gofer” years of LIGHT work with Davies and O’Leary, Mike developed better skills and was soon given a company van. (Brings a tear to my eye!) The company specializes in electrical renovations, upgrades, repairs and rewires and whether it’s a scheduled job or an emergency, Mike never turns away from a challenge. He enjoys all aspects of the electrical field but enjoys electrical upgrades the most as it gives him a feeling of great accomplishment to improve the safety of an electrical system. I’ve
FULL CIRCLE IS A... collaborative (we're all in it together) musician-run (you'll see musicians on stage performing, and off stage volunteering) newfangled (mix of traditional / new) string-band (mostly acoustic, plenty of banjo) hootenanny! (who doesn't love one?) This year, the Avon River Heritage Society and the community of Newport Landing are co-hosting two unique stages with the Avon River sunset as a backdrop — A giant old ship-building barn and a lighthouse on the restored community wharf are the main venues, with tent camping in a neighbouring field. Join your favourite stringbands for dancing, workshops, kids activities, campfire jams, fresh local food, an oxen pull, a wine tour, and fun summer times! This years artists include: Banded Stilts, Keith Mullins, Corey Isenor, MaryGrace Koile, David Bradshaw, Acres and Acres, Jeff Torbert's Grateful Dead, Morgan MacDonald, Steve Gates, Ruth Minnikin, Dana Beeler, Alan Jeffries,
had the pleasure, over the last few years, of working with Mike on many Landscape Lighting jobs, a new area that he’s really enjoying and I have to say Mike’s professional and fun approach to creating a safe outdoor extension of the home has produced some stunning results. Maintaining the business and customer satisfaction are high priorities for Mike, but this does not leave much time for a personal life, and he says that’s not a problem because he
(556<5*05.
loves his work. He sometimes interrupts his one track mind of WORK with listening to music or watching a good game of golf. Doesn’t seem like much for downtime but that’s how Mike likes it. I know if he had a nickel for every time I told him to go have fun, he would have purchased that Evel Knievel jumpsuit a long time ago and retired. Until then... this bright spark will just keep going! ~Mike Butler

O
n the afternoon of June 20th, when it was in the high 20’s in New Minas, employees of Sobey’s New Minas were out and about practising random acts of kindness. They were so kind as to drop a number of bus tickets off at Flowercart for our participants. For many of our participants, Kings Transit, a.k.a., ”the bus”, is their life line. It is how they get to: work, shopping, medi-
cal appointments, see their loved ones, etc. The Sobey’s employees were not only kind, they were thoughtful in their act. What a tremendous feeling to be the recipient of a random act of kindness. Thank you. - Roger Tatlock, Executive Director, The Flower Cart
