Inspired by her love of old soul, 60s vocal groups and classic arranging, Costelo takes listeners on a journey of heart, soul, and transcendence. Based in Halifax, the accomplished musician and arranger has toured North America, scored performances with Symphony Nova Scotia and the Blue Engine String Quartet.

Costelo and Sedore then mixed the album in mono to retain its classic feel. “When recording the album, I had to balance my desire for perfection and wanting it to be real. And being real always won out.” The album explores sweeping string arrangements and lush vocal harmonies by Selah Koile, Samm Reid, and Kirsten Donawa with true 60s authenticity. In contrast to the moody depths of her last record, Fire and Fuss (2009), We Can Get Over is a kaleidoscope of colours, textures, and genres.“It’s love, passion, aging, and spirituality. All the things you start to think about as you get a little bit older,” says Costelo. Costelo's CD Release is Saturday, October 20th, at 8pm.

Perform Vivaldi's Four Seasons
O
ne of Vivaldi’s most famous creations, The Four Seasons will be performed by Symphony Nova Scotia and special guest leader David Stewart on Saturday, October 13 at 7:30pm at Convocation Hall on the Acadia University campus in Wolfville. The concert is presented by the Acadia Performing Arts Series. David Stewart will lead Symphony Nova Scotia in a journey through a glorious Spring, a tempestuous Summer, a meandering Autumn, and a stormy, sparkling Winter. This will be a rare performance of all four seasonal concerti from one of the most beloved works in the entire Baroque repertoire. David Stewart is Professor of Violin at the University of Ottawa. Born in Quebec, he studied with Oscar Shumsky at Yale University and privately with Camilla Wicks. He was, for many years, Concertmaster of the Bergen Philharmonic in Norway, and has recently reclaimed this title. David often appeared as a soloist with the Bergen Philharmonic and other Scandinavian orchestras. He was also active as a member of many chamber music ensembles in Scandinavia. He has commissioned and recorded several new
works, among them Andrew P. MacDonald’s Violin Concerto, for which the composer won a Juno award. The performance will also feature narration and poem recitation from Jeremy Webb, who performed his own adaptation of A Christmas Carol with the Symphony last season. The complete concert program for this performance includes: • Henry Purcell (1659-1695): Selections from King Arthur • Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741): Four Seasons Info: Peter 585-1282 / peter.smith@ acadiau.ca Tickets: $34 adults, $22 students at Acadia Box Office, 5425500 / boxoffice.acadiau.ca

Rob Brezsny's
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Ten percent of all sexually suggestive text messages are delivered to the wrong number. Take precautions to make sure you're not among that ten percent in the coming weeks. It will be extra important for you to be scrupulous in communicating about eros and intimacy. The stakes will be higher than usual. Togetherness is likely to either become more intensely interesting or else more intensely confusing -- and it's largely up to you which direction it goes. For best results, express yourself clearly and with maximum integrity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If it were within my power, I'd help you identify the new feelings you have not yet been able to understand. I would infuse you with the strength you would need to shed the worn-out delusions that are obstructing your connection to far more interesting truths. And I would free you from any compulsion you have to live up to expectations that are not in alignment with your highest ideals. Alas, I can't make any of these things happen all by myself. So I hope you will rise to the occasion and perform these heroic feats under your own power. GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972) was a Gemini. He liked to depict seemingly impossible structures, like stairways in which people who climbed to the top arrived at the bottom. I nominate him to be your patron saint in the coming week. You should have his talent for playing with tricks and riddles in ways that mess with everyone's boring certainties. Here are four Escher quotes you can feel free to use as your own. 1. "Are you really sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?" 2. "My work is a game, a very serious game." 3. "I think it's in my basement; let me go upstairs and check." 4. "Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible."
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Venus flytrap is a remarkable plant that gobbles up insects and spiders. Its leaves do the dirty work, snapping shut around its unsuspecting prey. Evolution
The Grapevine
For the week of Oct 11th has made sure that the flowers of the Venus flytrap sit atop a high stalk at a safe distance from where all the eating takes place. This guarantees that pollinators visiting the flowers don't get snagged by the carnivorous leaves below. So the plant gets both of its main needs met: a regular supply of food and the power to disseminate its seeds. I'll ask you to derive a lesson from all this, Cancerian. Be sure that in your eagerness to get the energy you need, you don't interfere with your ability to spread your influence and connect with your allies.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A sinuous
and shimmering archetype that begins with the letter "s" has been trying to catch your attention, Leo -- sometimes in subliminal and serpentine ways. Why haven't you fully tuned in yet? Could it be because you're getting distracted by mildly entertaining but ultimately irrelevant trivia? I'm hoping to shock you out of your erroneous focus. Here's the magic trigger code that should do the trick: Psssssssssst! Now please do what you can to make yourself very receptive to the slippery, spidery signals of the simmeringly sublime surge.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don't burn down a bridge you haven't finished building yet. OK, Virgo? Don't try to "steal" things that already belong to you, either. And resist the urge to flee from creatures that are not even pursuing you. Catch my drift? Stop yourself anytime you're about to say nasty things about yourself behind your own back, and avoid criticizing people for expressing flaws that you yourself have, and don't go to extraordinary lengths to impress people you don't even like or respect. Pretty please? This is a phase of your astrological cycle when you should put an emphasis on keeping things simple and solid and stable. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "Hello Dear Sir: I would like to place a large order for yellow chicken curry, cherry cream cheese cupcakes, and sour, malty Belgian golden ale. It's for my birthday party this Saturday, and will need to serve exactly 152 people. My agent will pick it up
the Stella Rose B & B
at 11 a.m. Please have it ready on time. - Ms. Lori Chandra." Dear Ms. Chandra: I am an astrologer, not a caterer, so I'm afraid I can't fulfill your order. It's admirable that you know so precisely what you want and are so authoritative about trying to get it; but please remember how crucial it is to seek the fulfillment of your desires from a source that can actually fulfill them. You're a Libra, right? Your birthday is this week? Thanks for giving me an excuse to send this timely message to all of your fellow Libras.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here comes the big reveal of the month; the trick ending of the year; and maybe the most unusual happiness of the decade. Any day now you will get the chance to decipher the inside story that's beneath the untold story that's hidden within the secret story. I won't be surprised if one of your most sophisticated theories about the nature of reality gets cracked, allowing you to at recover at least a measure of primal innocence. I suggest you start practicing the arts of laughing while you cry and crying while you laugh right now. That way you'll be all warmed up when an old style of give-andtake comes to an end, ultimately making way for a more profound new give-and-take. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): There's almost nothing about the dandelion that humans can't make use of. People of many different countries have eaten its buds, leaves, and greens. Besides being tasty, it contains high levels of several vitamins and minerals. Its flowers are the prime ingredient in dandelion wine, and its roots have been turned into a coffee substitute. Herbalists from a variety of traditions have found medicinal potency in various parts of the plant. Last but not least, dandelions are pretty and fun to play with! In the coming weeks, Sagittarius, I invite you to approach the whole world as if it were a dandelion. In other words, get maximum use and value out of every single thing with which you interact.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "Intellect confuses intuition," asserted painter Piet Mondrian. I don't think that's always true,
October 11 - 25, 2012
© Copyright 2012 Rob Brezsny
even for creative artists. But in the coming week I suspect it'll be important for you to take into consideration. So make sure you know the difference between your analytical thinking and your gut-level hunches, and don't let your thinking just automatically override your hunches. Here's more helpful advice from painter Robert Genn: "The job of the intellect is to give permission to the intuition, and it's the job of intuition to know when intellect is once again appropriate."
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It's time to seek help from outside the magic circle you usually stay inside. You need to call on extracurricular resources -- people and animals and deities who can offer useful interventions and delightful serendipity and unexpected deliverance. The remedies that work for you most of the time just won't be applicable in the coming days. The usual spiritual appeals will be irrelevant. I'm not saying that you are facing a dire predicament; not at all. What I'm suggesting is that the riddles you will be asked to solve are outside the purview of your customary guides and guidelines. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
These days lobsters are regarded as a luxury food, but that wasn't the case among early Americans. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the large crustaceans were meals that were thought to be suitable only for poor people and prisoners. Wealthy folks wouldn't touch the stuff. After examining your astrological omens, Pisces, I'm wondering if your future holds a similar transformation. I think there could very well be a rags-toriches story in which an ignored or denigrated thing ascends to a more important role.

Gluten Free Sour Cream Apple Pecan Cake Chef Kerina Dykstra / 300-1268 / kerina@letseatns.com / letseatns.com
O
ne of the perks of living in the beautiful Annapolis Valley is harvest time! The farms here supply us with such a wide variety of fresh produce that it’s hard not to get excited about their tasty potential. Apples are no exception! I love any kind of apple cake but this particular cake is one of my favourites. Preparing food for a variety of allergies is a large part of my business and I get asked frequently about dessert items that fit into a Gluten Free diet. Not only is this cake tasty but it definitely fits nicely in a GF diet!
(Yield: 10” cake)
Dry ingredients:
Wet ingredients:
2 cups almond flour (aka almond meal) ¼ cup rice or sorghum flour ½ cup potato starch or tapioca starch 1 ½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground cardamom ½ tsp fine sea salt To assemble: Light brown cane sugar & 1 cup pecan halves
5 medium apples, peeled, cored, sliced and tossed in fresh lemon juice 3 large organic free-range eggs 1 cup packed organic light brown sugar ½ cup organic cane sugar 2 tsp bourbon vanilla extract (or other high quality Vanilla) 3 tbsp extra light olive oil ¼ cup sour cream
Preparation: 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line
a 10-inch spring form pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl beat the eggs
with the sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, oil and sour cream; beat to combine.
3. Place all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, stir to distribute spices. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and combine well. Drain the apples (if necessary) and sprinkle with light brown cane sugar. 4. Spread half of the cake batter
into the prepared pan. Arrange half of the drained sugared apples and pecans onto the batter. Press lightly to secure them in the bat-
ter. Repeat with remaining batter, apples and pecans. Sprinkle a thin layer of cane sugar over the entire cake.
5. Bake in the center of the
preheated oven for approximately 60 to 70 minutes. Test for doneness with a small thin knife or a wooden skewer. If the cake begins to over-brown before it is done, cover the edges loosely with pieces of foil.
6. Cool on a rack for ten to fifteen minutes. Loosen the cake gently from the sides of the pan with a thin spatula. Release the clasp and remove the pan ring. Chef ’s Note: This cake is delicious warm (or room temperature) on it’s own but completely irresistible served with Maple Chantilly Cream!

Reflexology and Reiki A “Natural” Holistic Approach to Health & Vitality
T
hese therapies focus on a person’s health by treating the whole body rather than the disease. They build on the body’s own ability to heal. 80% to 90% of all illnesses are caused by stress and tension in the body. Reflexology relieves these 2 conditions allowing: your body’s circulation to improve, your immunity to strengthen, the flushing of toxins allowing the systems and organs in the body to work more effectively. This is done by applying gentle pressure to the organ’s reflexes on the feet. Reiki is the placing of hands on and around the body to clear the chakras, removing any energy blockages and bring the body back to balance. Canadian Cancer Society has published a “Complementary Therapies – A Guide for People with Cancer”. Reiki and Reflexology are both mentioned as being used with conventional cancer treatments. They are being used to ease fatigue, pain, insomnia, nausea, stress and anxiety. My name is Pat Rafuse and I am a Registered Certified Reflexologist and Reiki Practitioner at Natural Touch Reflexology. I will be at 7 Gaspereau Ave (the same building as Sarah Trask’s Homeopathic office) on Fridays from 10am – 3pm. For the month of October, Friday sessions are $20 (halfprice). Contact: 691-4148 (Wolfville) / 678-0454 (North Alton). Drop-ins are welcome in Wolfville, please call about house calls.

When it comes to places to walk your dog, Wolfville and the Valley provide a fantastic selection of groomed paths, rugged trails, wooded hikes, ponds, reservoirs, lakes, beaches, ocean access and friendly neighbourhood parks. Almost every walking place in every town and city across Canada has what is known as “the regulars” (among other affectionate terms) consisting of one or more dog accompanied by one or more human. These “regulars” enjoy walking in the same area at the approximately the same time everyday during the week. This is largely because the human aspect of the group has a routine they must follow, and these walks provide them with the easiest and most comfortable walk. Visiting different dog walking areas is a great way to increase your dogs focus, Con't on page 15...

Who's Who: Robert (Bob) Stead: Mr. Wolfville! S ometimes when one door closes, another door opens. Seven years ago, I was working in Wolfville but living in New Minas with my sister and brother in law. My sister told me she was expecting a baby and they were going to move to a house, in other words, I needed somewhere to live. Within days, through the gift of chance, an apartment became available. The door opened and there was Bob Stead, not Mayor of Wolfville but Landlord and I’ve been the man downstairs ever since. This door has been my gateway to the wonderful world of Wolfville and I owe it to Bob. Those who know me can appreciate my gratitude. Bob, a small token of my thanks... a Who’s Who for our favorite Mayor! Mayor Bob grew up on a small farm on the eastern end of P.E.I where the dinner table was shared with three younger and three older sisters, Bob’s parents and his grandfather. He attended a one room school house until the end of grade ten, having walked or biked two miles to and from the classroom where about 15 “scholars” prepared to meet the world. Bob left home when he was 15 to undertake grades 11 and 12, plus two years of university, at Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown. It was then onto Acadia from which he graduated in 1963 with a BSc in Biology and Chemistry. Bob taught for two years at the senior high school
level and then four years at the university level. In 1969, he returned to Acadia as Director of Admissions and Student Assistance, retiring in 1996. In 1988, Bob was elected to a position as a Wolfville Town Councillor and following 9 years of service, he was elected Mayor of this great town and has served in that position ever since. Seven elections challenged Bob to remain in Municipal Government for 24 years. Bob is the longest serving Mayor for Wolfville but setting this record of longevity was never a goal! Now, with Bob absent in the new election, the torch can be passed to another. For several months, Bob has been craving “relax and recover” time and he and his partner Danny look forward to vacations and time together. Bob also has much recreational reading to catch up on, believe me I’ve seen the stack of books and being one to never stay docile for long, Bob is eager to get involved in some volunteer community activities by spring. And there’s also that beautiful garden to maintain! I asked Bob what he loves most about this town and he says “Wolfville has become the most vibrant town in Eastern Canada. Our local government has always been very progressive and the town presents itself well and draws a most interesting cross section of people to add real dimension to its educational and

and to work with your dog in different situations. Of course there are other benefits, such as discovering new places and meeting new people. Dogs (and people) can get overly comfortable walking in their regular stomping grounds, so I suggest breaking routine and

cultural offerings.” Bob’s plan, following retirement, is to stay in Wolfville with his many friends and the wonderful surroundings he’s grown to love. There will be a Farewell to Bob get together on November 21st in the KCIC Garden Room at Acadia University, at 7pm. This will give Bob a chance to share many memories from the years of engagement he’s had with the town and its residents. Feel free to stop by and say hello and offer best wishes. Bob, in turn, wishes all the best to the government being elected on October 20th. He hopes for continued vibrancy and progressiveness for Wolfville. I would like to say thank you to Bob for all you’ve done for Wolfville! Enjoy your new time, your new adventures and the new doors! ~Mike Butler Brought to you by

y daughter Sam was scheduled to move this past Tuesday. We had a fellow lined up with a pick up and trailer. It was raining all day and we were getting nervous since we hadn't heard from him. He finally sent us a message to say his axle had broken and he was stuck in Sackville. This was a nightmare since we had 3 stops to make and she was so keen to get into her new place. My one friend with a pick-up couldn't help, so what was I to do? I called Rafuse Home Hardware and after telling him my plight he called me back within 15 minutes.
