ON THE COVER

I’m an amateur nature and adventure photographer and I captured this leaf along the Gaspereau River Trail on October 26th. It was in one of the newly formed stream beds flowing down into the Gaspereau River after the heavy rains from the night before. The Gaspereau River Trail is an amazing place to hike; it can be done in three hours, in and out. The trail is well defined and has a few wet sections, but the scenery is spectacular and varied, no matter which season you hike in. Near the end it dwindles down to a narrow path along a steep slope which then descends to the water’s edge. The peace and quiet is inspirational and you can often hear eagles in the trees. Nature is an amazing canvas which changes every day; I will never tire of capturing it. So get outside and enjoy what nature has to offer. You won’t be disappointed! Mark Davidson

A Homecoming to Remember

Rose Coloured Green Scene I think most of us can agree that the consumption of non-renewable resources is fundamentally destructive, thus the universal effort to seek alternative renewable resources for our collective consumption. Our vocabulary has gained a litany of buzzwords associated with restoring the health of our planet: green, sustainable, and eco-friendly. These terms have become marketing adjectives applied to all manner of goods in order to seduce consumers and distract us from considering the real issues and effective solutions. In Grapevines many years ago, my Green Scene contributions were pragmatic and logical assessments of innovative materials and design, particularly as they apply to building construction. Building net-zero houses and platinum LEED institutions is relatively easy compared to solving the blooming culture of “disposability”. There seems to be increasing supplies of plastic gadgets, vinyl furniture, synthetic clothes, excessive packaging, and disposable electronics; not because consumers are demanding them, but rather corporations are perpetuating consumption, increasing profit margins, and designing obsolescence in products which used to endure decades of use. Facile fashion and abundant consumption have replaced the quest for quality when considering purchases. Several years ago, I was inspired by an invitation to a birthday party where only 'second hand' gifts were accepted. The increasing number of consignment and thrift shops is evidence that there are already enough 'products' in our world and we need to recover some of the values which have been stripped through corporate greed. Before you spend hundreds of dollars on disposable Christmas gifts, consider 're-gifting' experienced quality goods. Consider that many of us buy "used" cars, accept '"used" plates at a restaurant, sleep in a "used" bed at a hotel, sit in a "used" seat at a theatre and employ many "used" items in the course of our days. There is an abundance of abandoned treasures just waiting to be adopted.

Donnie Belliveau proposes to ASU member, Chelsey Spinney

y boyfriend and I met three years ago at Acadia. He was in third year, I was in first and although we’re from the same hometown we went to different high schools and didn’t know each other. I know a lot of people say it’s not possible to find love here, but it is, trust me. As an Acadia grad, he planned to make a trip up for Homecoming to reunite with fellow alumni he hadn’t seen since graduating two years ago - as that is what the weekend is all about. Friday night we attended the hockey game, had a beer, and watched the Stanfields play a great show. On Saturday, like many people I woke up at 8am, but it was not to crack open a cold one, and start flipping pancakes, instead I went for a run. That afternoon I didn’t paint myself in red and blue, get so intoxicated I disrespected those around me, or put myself in danger. What I did was dress up and take pictures with my boyfriend because I’m graduating in the spring and we wanted fall photos in the Valley. As two Acadia students, former and current, we went to take pictures by the Acadia sign because in the three years we’ve been together we still hadn’t taken a picture in front of the “famous” landmark. I will forever remember that sign because, in front of it and a bunch of strangers, my boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed! My homecoming was amazing. It was not defined by my level of intoxication, by parties, or by #hoco expectations. It was defined by the love I found at Acadia, a moment I will remember for the rest of my life, and alumni pride. I will always proudly wear the “A” in respect of this beautiful town because it has given me experiences I will never forget. I encourage everyone to share their happiest

memories at Acadia because this institution and its students should not be defined by recent allegations. Sincerely, That girl who got engaged on Homecoming

armers' markets are the kind of place you could say are 'naturally primed' for random acts of kindness. I remember one incident vividly from when I was a vendor at the Wolfville Farmers' Market. A young woman was chatting to me about my natural mosquito repellent and another woman joined our conversation, also interested. A nice exchange took place, smiles and laughter all around. The young woman went to purchase a bottle and realized she had no cash left. Flustered, she said she'd find some money and be back. When she left the older woman handed me enough money for two bottles. She told me that when the other woman came back, to tell her that hers was already paid for. The young woman did come back. She was incredibly moved, and so was

I. Being the 'vehicle' through which this exchange happened felt like a gift to me as well. Recently, I received another farmers' market gift. I was at the final market of the season in New Ross this past Thanksgiving Saturday. I spent all my cash. And then I found a jar of strawberry jam I wanted to buy for my kids. I asked my friend Nancy if she had any cash left I could borrow. She had spent all of hers as well. Brenda Knickle, a vendor at the market, must have overheard me because 15 seconds later, I saw her quickly crossing the market towards me, waving a $5 bill. "I overheard you. So here's a little wedding present from me." I bought that jam with a huge smile on my face. Small towns, small markets, big hearts.

ometimes we need a change. Sometimes we need to try something different. Sometimes we need to grab a hold of what’s good and enjoy it for all it’s worth. Over a year ago, I needed a change. I needed a different job and a new path for myself. I needed a place of employment that didn’t feel like work, but instead was fun and enjoyable and a benefit to my psyche. I found all those things and more at IL Dolce Far Niente Espresso Bar in Wolfville. On October 28th, IL Dolce Far Niente celebrates its One Year Birthday and I want to tell you all about it’s owners and operators, what it means to me to have worked there this past year, and a bit about how customers near and far have embraced this very special, unique and extraordinary addition to Wolfville. It has been One Sweet Year! At my age (29-ish), making a life change, like switching jobs, can be a scary thing but when you get that feeling that it’s worth it on so many levels, then just do it! I had caught wind, through many sources that there was this really cool “coffee shop” opening in the old Atlantic Lighting Studio space at 16 Elm Ave. Like many others, I slunk over and tried to peer through the papered-up windows but could see nothing. But then I heard Ken and Debra Morrison were the owners and operators of this new “coffee shop” and it wasn’t long after that that I applied for my current position with IL Dolce and I haven’t looked back. Ken and Debra Morrison are well known in Wolfville (and beyond) for starting the Coffee scene in Wolfville. They owned and operated the Coffee Merchant from 1987-1995. I personally can’t thank them enough for starting me off on my caffeinated journey through university and life (which now continues everyday at work). Ken and Debra say “we needed a place to go to have coffee with friends because back then it was just Tim Hortons. And that wasn’t even in Wolfville then and so in 1987 the Coffee Merchant started on Elm Avenue and moved to Main Street in 1989 after we purchased and renovated the building it is still located in.” Ken and Debra sold the business as they had a 4-year-old at the time and Debra wanted to spend more time with her and not be distracted by business. Ken and Debra always felt that when they sold The Coffee Merchant they had not accomplished the goals they had set for themselves, so there was always a void. Over the years, after their daughter had grown, they recognized there was a dire need for a coffee shop where conversation was a key factor in the atmosphere. Debra says “Our experience in the Middle East and Europe made us realize there was a need for a place to have coffee, which provided personal service and an atmosphere of homey comfort and a touch of sophistication. In the Middle East service was always top notch no matter what you bought, it made you feel important and appreciated as a consumer.” Through these motivations, IL Dolce Far Niente was born!

Down

1. The poppy is also worn on ___ Day in NFLD.

2. The Poppy was offically adopted as the Flower of __ on July 5, 1921.

6. A new tradition began spontaneously as attendees laid their __ on the new Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa in 2000.

The past 12 months have been an incredible journey for Debra and Ken as they’ve watched their espresso bar blossom into a haven of peacefulness and enjoyment for all who have visited. And even when IL Dolce is at full capacity, with all frothing wands blaring, soups and sandwiches flying out of the kitchen and the well-trained staff going full tilt, you can still leaf through one of the many periodicals or chat with your friends, with great ease and comfort. If you have not visited us at the Espresso bar, let me bring you up to speed. IL Dolce Far Niente translates to “The Sweetness of Doing Nothing”… just saying it makes me feel more relaxed. IL Dolce is a Euro-Style Espresso bar that serves illy Coffee (roasted in Italy) and holds an in-house bakery that produces the most decadent and wonderful treats (butter, almond, chocolate and ham and cheese croissants, scones, muffins, carrot cake, almond cake, date squares, butter tarts and more!) The drinks are made as you order; weighed, measured and timed so that each beverage is of the highest quality. Debra says, “Our design was influenced by the architecture of Italy, some of the Middle East, of which both are connected. Also we wanted a place of tranquility. We have way too many electronics these days and we wanted a place where people could come and talk, relax and get away.” What does this mean folks? Well, IL Dolce does not provide wireless Internet to its patrons, yet another innovative and conscience business decision of Ken and Debra’s. I encourage you all to find IL Dolce Far Niente Espresso Bar on Facebook and keep updated with what’s happening. We post our special treats, events, contests, and more. Our lunch menu has expanded to include four sandwiches and homemade soup and with Christmas coming up, there’s many fun and tasty treats to purchase and give as gifts. And what a journey for me, as well, stepping into a completely different line of work, in an environment fuelled by class and quality service and products by those who know the business better than anyone, I was intimidated at first, but I think I’ve fit in nicely and going to work has never felt like such a perk! What a wonderful change! What a wonderful something different! What a sweet year (with many more to come!)

8. The Halifax Explosion happened on Dec 6th, the bombing of Pearl Harbour on Dec 7th, and the publishing of "In Flanders Fields" occured on Dec __. Of course, not all in the same year! 10. Legend says McCrae was initially ___ with his poem so he discarded it! Fellow officers retrieved it and convinced McCrae to submit the poem for publication. 11. "In Flanders Fields" was written by a __. 13. Poppy centres are now black, but from 1980 to 2002 they were this colour. 15. The use of the remembrance poppy was inspired by the poem "In ___ Fields".

October 30–November 13, 2014

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s urgent

that you expand your options. Your freedom of choice can’t lead you to where you need to go until you have more possibilities to choose from. In fact, you’re better off not making a decision until you have a wider selection. To playfully drive home this point to your subconscious mind, I suggest that this Halloween you consider disguising yourself as a slime mold. This unusual creature comes in more than 500 different genders, at least 13 of which must collaborate to reproduce. Here’s a photo: bit.ly/yellowslime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the animated sci-fi TV sitcom Futurama, Leela is the mutant captain of a spaceship. In one episode, she develops an odd boil on her hindquarters. It has a face and can sing. The actor who provides the vocals for the animated boil’s outpouring of song is Gemini comedian Craig Ferguson, whose main gig is serving as host of a late-night TV talk show on CBS. Telling you this tale is my way of suggesting that you consider going outside your usual niche, as Craig Ferguson did, to offer your talents in a different context. Halloween costume suggestion: Kim Kardashian as a nurse wearing ebola protective gear; science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson as a male stripper; a cat wearing a dog costume, or vice versa. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Native American hero Sitting Bull (1831-1890) was a renowned Lakota chief and holy man. He led his people in their resistance to the U.S. occupation of their land. How did he become so strong and wise? In large part through the efforts of his doting mother, whose name was Her-Holy-Door. Let’s install her as your exemplar for now. May she inspire you to nurture beauty and power in those you love. May she motivate you to be adroit as you perform your duties in service to the future. May the mystery of her name rouse you to find the sacred portal that ushers you to your next big gift. Halloween costume suggestion: a sacred portal, a divine gateway, an amazing door.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is one of those

rare times when it’s OK for you to just throw out the dirty dishes that you are too lazy to wash. It’s also permissible to hide from a difficult person, spend money on a supposedly foolish indulgence, eat a bowl of ice cream for breakfast, binge-watch a TV show that provokes six months’ worth of emotions in a few hours, and lie in bed for an extra hour fantasizing about sex with a forbidden partner. Don’t make any of these things habits, of course. But for now, it’s probably healthy to allow them. Halloween costume suggestion: total slacker.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Our

evolutionary ancestors Homo erectus loved to eat delicious antelope brains. The fossil evidence is all over their old stomping grounds in East Africa. Scientists say that this delicacy, so rich in nutrients, helped our forbears build bigger, stronger brains themselves. These days it’s harder but not impossible to make animal brains part of your diet. The Chinese and Koreans eat pig brains, and some European cuisines include beef brains. I’m confident, however, that your own brain will be functioning better than ever in the coming weeks, even if you don’t partake of this exotic dish. Be sure to take advantage of your enhanced intelligence. Solve tough riddles! Think big thoughts! Halloween costume suggestion: a brain-eating Homo erectus.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The egromenious hilarity of psychadisical melarmy, whether rooted in a lissome stretch or a lusty wobble, soon defisterates into crabolious stompability. So why not be graffenbent?” So said Noah’s ex-wife Joan of Arc in her interview with St. Crocodile magazine. Heed Joan’s advice, please, Libra. Be proactively saximonious. I’M KIDDING! Everything I just said was nonsense. I hope you didn’t assume it was erudite wisdom full of big words you couldn’t understand. In offering it to you, I was hoping to immunize you against the babble and hype and artifice that may soon roll your way. Halloween costume suggestion: a skeptic armed with a shock-proof bullshit-detector. (For inspiration, check out these visuals: http://bit.ly/bsdetector.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In HBO’s

famous TV drama, a high school chemistry teacher responds to his awful luck by turning to a life of crime. The show’s title, “Breaking Bad,” refers to what happens when a good person cracks and veers over to the dark side. So then what does “breaking good” mean? Urbandictionary.com defines it like this: “When a criminal, junkie, or gang-banger gets sweet and sparkly, going to church, volunteering at soup kitchens, and picking the kids up from school.” I’m concerned that you are at risk of undergoing

a similar conversion, Scorpio. You seem so nice and kind and mild lately. I guess that’s fine as long as you don’t lose your edge. Halloween costume suggestion: a criminal with a halo, a sweet and sparkly gangbanger, or a Buddhist monk junkie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve got two possible remedies for your emotional congestion. You might also want to make these two remedies part of your Halloween shtick. The first remedy is captured by the English word “lalochezia.” It refers to a catharsis that comes from uttering profane language. The second remedy is contained in the word “tarantism.” It means an urge to dance manically as a way to relieve melancholy. For your Halloween disguise, you could be a wildly dancing obscenity-spouter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are

at a point in your astrological cycle when you deserve to rake in the rewards that you have been working hard to earn. I expect you to be a magnet for gifts and blessings. The favors and compliments you have doled out will be returned to you. For all the strings you have pulled in behalf of others’ dreams, strings will now be pulled for you. Halloween costume suggestion: a beaming kid hauling around a red wagon full of brightly wrapped presents.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Two physicists in Massachusetts are working on technology that will allow people to shoot laser beams out of their eyes. For Halloween, I suggest that you pretend you have already acquired this superpower. It’s time for you to be brash and jaunty as you radiate your influence with more confidence. I want to see you summon reserves of charismatic clout you haven’t dared to call on before. Costume suggestion: The X-Men mutant named Cyclops or the legendary Native America creature known as the thunderbird, which emits lightning from its eyes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The African

nation of Swaziland has passed a law prohibiting witches from flying their broomsticks any higher than 150 meters above ground. That will a big problem for Piscean witches. There is currently an astrological mandate for them to swoop and glide and soar as high and free as they want to. The same is metaphorically true for all Piscean non-witches everywhere. This is your time to swoop and glide and soar as high and free as you want to. Halloween costume suggestion: high-flying witch, a winged angel, the Silver Surfer, or a mythic bird like the Garuda.

Gaza, you don’t have easy access to Kentucky Fried Chicken. The closest KFC restaurant is 35 miles away in the Egyptian city of ElArish. But there was a time when you could pay smugglers to bring it to you via one of the underground tunnels that linked Egypt to Gaza. Each delivery took four hours and required the help of two taxis, a hand cart, and a motorbike. (Alas, Egypt destroyed most of the tunnels in early 2014.) I recommend, Aries, that you be as determined and resourceful to make your longed-for connections as the KFC lovers in Gaza were.

HERE AND AWAY: Life Expectancy By Pamela Swanigan

The main reason for lower life expectancy for Canadian Inuit men is self-inflicted injury; for Inuit women, smoking-related diseases. The top four contributing factors to the gap between African Americans and other Americans are (in order) heart disease, cancer, murder, and diabetes. In Russia, where one-quarter of men die before the age of 55, 35% of those deaths are directly attributed to vodka drinking. Canada: women 83; men 79.

Switzerland: women 85; men 80.5.

Canada’s premier chamber choir is making its first tour of Eastern Canada in three seasons. The Elmer Iseler Singers, a professional ensemble comprised of twenty of Toronto’s finest singers, was founded in 1979 by Dr. Elmer Iseler, the dean of Canadian choral conductors. The Singers have been directed since 1998 by Dr. Lydia Adams, an equally distinguished choral conductor. The Elmer Iseler Singers have made over thirty recordings and are frequently heard on CBC-Radio. The choir undertakes annual tours across Ontario and Canada and has toured extensively in Europe, Asia and the United States. It takes great pride in its commitment to the commissioning and performance of works written by Canadians. In addition to performances from the classic choral repertoire, this tour will feature a number of selections by Maritime composers. Come listen to the Elmer Iseler Singers at Festival Theatre (504 Main, Wolfville) on November 8 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $26 for adults, $20 for students. For more information or to buy tickets, visit the Acadia University Box Office in person, by phone at 902-542-5500 or 1-800-542TICK(8425), or online at http://boxoffice.acadiau.ca.

Acadia Theatre - Sunday On The Rocks On a beautiful Sunday morning in mid October, three house mates decided to have scotch for breakfast. Elly is pregnant and considering an abortion, Jen is being harassed by a coworker who is obsessed with her, and Gayle just feels a bit lost. Their problems are compounded by a fourth roommate, Jessica, a religious young woman who has little compassion for their confused attempts to make sense of a life in the 90s. As they drink, joke, and argue, it becomes clear how difficult it is to make a moral decision in an increasingly complex world.

October 30–November 13, 2014 Cheri Killam is happily married to Michael Caplan and the proud mother of Max, Solomon, and Clara. After several university experiences, she made the massive decision to go to law school at age 37. She is an Associate at Nathanson Seaman Watts. When not blogging or lawyering, Cheri reads like a fiend and runs. She also loves all things local! Obviously.

Sticky Situations Sometimes situations are hilarious in retrospect, and although at the moment they are happening you may be aware they will be hilarious in retrospect, it really does not help you to respond with hilarity as said events unfold. Last weekend, it occurred to me that in my haste to procure some Pure Infused maple syrup from Hutchinson Acres Farms at the Wolfville Farmers Market, I had neglected to capture the moment on film, er, SD card. Lest I leave you, dear reader, with the inability to imagine what this glorious product might look like, I felt a return visit was warranted. As last weekend was springlike, young Max and I decided to bike the 12 kilometres to market.

TripALady Costumes Adored!

AS THE AXE swings in its riot of six strings and the fiddle bows sing like snowflakes in Spring, will you not fling the guise that you bring ‘cross a floor on which dancing and fancy take wing? Rejoice in a rampant red rage of rich rosin and drum skin when Eighties daredevils TripALady launch themselves once more into the abyss of the Witching Hour and return with fistfuls of radio-laced groove! This is a licensed event. Clothing is mandatory, but costumes are adored!

THE PORT A GASTROPUB

Inspired, perhaps, by a patriotic fervour that comes of dining on fine maple products, I decided we should complete part of our journey via the historic and picturesque dyke system from Port Williams to Wolfville. At first, our trip was lovely, if bumpy. However, it seems to be the case that the dykes are repaired from time to time (who knew) requiring heavy layers of, well, mud. Mud and straw. This Nova Scotian mud is particularly good for dyke-making, seeing as how it is actually more clay than anything. It makes excellent building materials when combined with straw. Alas, when it is fresh it also builds marvellously on bike tires and inside moving bike parts… which soon are no longer moving. Eventually, mud-spattered and aching of muscle, Max and I arrived, and I snapped some pictures. Take a good long look: we suffered for this photographic art.

messy adventure, if it had to be part of the Pure Infused Maple Syrup journey, I would gladly do it again. I honestly had thought, until a couple of weeks ago, that nothing could possibly improve upon the perfection that is maple syrup. Particularly the way we Nova Scotians like it: thick and dark. None of that thin, watery mild-flavoured sap sold in other parts of the world, no sir. How could anything be better? As it happens – infusing maple syrup with amazing combinations like lavender and chai (my personal favourite) is a marriage so fine it makes me want to weep for the joy of it all. If you are scared to commit to a full bottle of any one of the 5 varieties on offer, you may purchase a sample pack containing all 5, which is what we did. We spent a maple soaked week enjoying desserty types like the aforementioned Lavender & Chai; Vanilla, Cinnamon & Star Anise (excellent with pumpkin pie, FYI); and the Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves; and also the two savourystyle syrups namely, Chipotle & Lemongrass (so succulent on chicken); and Gastrique - Ginger & Apple Cider Vinegar. It was a week of bliss. Bottles of this most delightful of delights would make an excellent gift and I would like to remind everyone that Christmas is coming. As my husband is Jewish, I feel I may also accept Chanukah gifts. Please talk amongst yourselves to divvy up the varieties, thank you. You may find Pure Infused Maple Syrup at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market from time to time, and at other locations. Check out their amazing website at www.pureinfusedmaple.ca. Enjoy! Cheri Killam

The WHO’S WHO:

Joshua Samuel Budish: Mastering The Field! I rarely read the Athenaeum, you know, the Acadia Newspaper. Acadia is a HUGE part of the town of Wolfville and I love the buzz and feel of the town when the students arrive and spend their time here. They make the town feel alive and vibrant and, when they are polite and treat the town nicely, I enjoy them even more! I picked up the Ath a few weeks ago and saw a small profile about Joshua Samuel Budish, a gentleman who has come into the Il Dolce Café a few times and was super friendly and talked about how much he’s enjoying Wolfville while he’s here attending Acadia and, because the Ath profile was so small, I wanted to know a little more about him. So here’s an extended look at Josh, we’ll call him JSB for short! JSB comes to us from Toronto, Ontario, born and raised. He completed his undergrad in History (mainly the History of Sport!) at the University of Guelph, then attended Algonquin College in Ottawa where he obtained a postgraduate certificate in Sport Business Management… Are you seeing a sportsy/active/outdoorsy theme going on here? JSB then made the smartest decision yet and joined us here in Wolfville to complete his Masters in Recreation Management. He says, “My Masters focus is the relationship between local coaches and their community within the context of community development”. It was also evident during our interview that, besides sports, family is very important to Josh. “I am very close with my family, my parents Dianne and Alan to whom I literally owe everything, my two brothers, and my Grandmother, Estelle, who I literally love more than life itself.” JSB says work begins and ends with his thesis. Broadly speaking, his field is called Sport for Development. Sport doesn’t have to be about winning championships or signing a huge contract, it can be about so much more than that and Sport for Development is the general field that is dedicated to unlocking that potential. Josh picked international sport as a focus of his work. He traveled to Cameroon two years ago to volunteer with a sport academy in a city called Limbe and he caught an adventure bug that has him itching to travel and explore and experience sport in its many different cultures and circumstances. Josh explained “from July 21 - October 13 of 2012, I lived and worked in Cameroon in West-Central Africa. I worked with a volunteer football academy and coached kids aged 9-12 and 17-19. The culture shock lasted about two months but what an amazing and humbling experience. For better or for worse, every single day something memorable happened. This past

summer from May 30 - August 4, I went back to Cameroon to conduct my thesis research. While I was there someone asked me what I was going to miss most about Cameroon. While my international friends were very high on that list, so too was the notion of the “new”. While I was there I made everlasting friendships, climbed a 13,000 foot mountain, hiked the rain forest to a secret lake, played the harmonica for a room full of dancing Cameroonians, worked in schools, spoke at seminars on teaching through play, traveled on dangerous roads and by dangerous motorcycles … I did things that I cannot do in Toronto and will always remember the feeling of knowing that everything that I see and experience in each place in that country is specific and unique to that part of the world.” Back here, Josh is involved with the Acadia Graduate Students’ Association (AGSA), who are constantly fighting for recognition on campus (in a school of 4000 students, there are only 500 grad students). The AGSA holds social events throughout the year, including conferences that give grad students an opportunity to share their work with the world, giving them a reason to leave the 'grad student hole’ as they call it. All the events are open to the public.

HUMANS OF THE ANNAPOLIS VALLEY Collected by Linnea Swinimer

You should check out the website at theagsa. ca or find them on Facebook so you don’t miss out on the special work these students are doing. JSB and I have two things in common: we can both grow a beard in a few hours and we both have a great love of Music. Where I just pop a CD in the player, Josh takes music to the next level and actually plays harmonica, guitar and drums. He likes the Valley because there’s music everywhere and it has a brilliant outdoors life as well. On his bike ride to school, he is treated to views that are so beautiful and unique. He says, “There’re so many things about the Valley that I am not used to, but love. The sights, the autumn leaves, the fact that people in the East really are much nicer than people in Toronto! When I first got here, it took some getting used to having people I didn’t know ask me about my day and being genuinely interested in how my day was going. That is not something a Torontonian is used to!” After his Masters is complete, JSB has a future filled with sport and travel. Maybe some work with the Olympics? Definitely pushing sport and community to the next level. Thank you Josh for bringing your ambitious attitude, determination, and your good nature to Wolfville. Best of luck mastering those fields! Mike Butler

FAMILY FUN IN THE VALLEY: M is for Music

As Shakespeare said, “If music be the food of love, play on!” Music does wonders for your soul, not to mention your brain development!

Erin 25, Olivia 22

It's never too early to start introducing your children to music. When they are in the womb, they will start to recognize their mothers' voices, so sing to them often. Once they are born, keep singing to your baby! It doesn't matter how good you are. Make up the words if you have to! Just keep singing!

"- volunteering makes us smile even on rainy days! We love the valley and all the opportunities it brings! "

There are several music or rhyme-time classes for babies. These are available through most Valley libraries, or the Kings County Family Resource Centre in Kentville. Children as young as two can be registered for more formal music classes such as KinderMusik or Music for Young Children. In the Valley we are so lucky to have so many options. Research each class and teacher. Talk to other parents for recommendations. Also, think about what your and your child's goals are for the lessons. Ask lots of questions! Music lessons and classes are listed on Valley Family Fun (under Arts and Clubs). Laura Churchill Duke www.valleyfamilyfun.ca info@valleyfamilyfun.ca

I always thought scones were hard to make. I thought it took a "know how" and practice to get right. I was wrong. These pumpkin scones came together perfectly and were a big hit at the cafe. This recipe is perfect if you want to try your hand at scones for the first time, and also an easy recipe to keep on hand for when you are a scone ba king pro!

• Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add in the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients, to form a crumbly texture. • Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl and then pour into the dry ingredients. • Stir together with a rubber spatula until the mix forms a dough. • Once the dough has started to form, transfer it to a floured counter and kneed and shape it a few times until it is a smooth round ball. • Flatten the dough to about an inch and form into a circle. • Use a long knife or pizza cutter to cut the circle in halves until there are 8 triangles. • Put the triangles on a parchment lined baking sheet. • Bake at 400 for 20 mins.

BY DONNA HOLMES

Tattoo Artist: Nick at N&M Tattoo & Piercing (424 King St, Bridgewater, NS) Tattooee: Cailun Campbell, Acadia Student, Wolfville Cailun wanted a simple design that would be both useful and representative of his love of music – he chose a grand staff. It is actually meant to be blank! This way he can take a pen with non-toxic ink and write music on it whenever he feels inspired. You may have seen Cailun playing his stand-up bass at Paddy’s Pub in Wolfville… reading songs from his arm! But the work required fine, perfectly straight lines. Cailun found Nick at a tattoo and piercing convention in Halifax and decided to commission him when he saw how steady Nick’s hand was. The two-hour drive across the province was well worth it – the artist was kind, joking, and very patient. Cailun is overjoyed to have such a lovely work of art on his skin.
