ON THE COVER
LOCAL LYRICS LOTTO
Valley Ghost Walks are two-hour, historical productions
throughout the streets and cemeteries of four Valley communities: Wolfville, Kentville, Windsor, & Halls Harbour.
Led by Jerome the GraveKeeper, these family-friendly
walks introduce you to numerous historical ghosts who
either died tragically or did remarkable things.
Jerome the GraveKeeper is quick to point out that, "We live
in the most historically amazing area in all of North America. We might as well celebrate the history of the Annapolis
Valley in a fun and creative way."
For a list of the upcoming shows, see the ad on page 5.
Pre-purchasing tickets for October is always preferred ($15
adults, $10 students + Ticketpro fees). For more info: 6928546 / [email protected] / valleyghostwalks.

Lyric Fragment:
Saturday morning hangover breakfast, with the coffee and the bacon
The boys and the girls slept out on the floor, so my body is aching
The restaurant is filled with our laughing and our raunchy talk
I'd go with you to the corner store, if only I could walk
But these are the days, these are the days

40 Water St, Windsor | 798-5337 | www.danielsflowershop.net
My sisters and I spent a lot of time planning a
ten-day excursion around Nova Scotia. Seeing
as it's their first time in Canada, they wanted
to preplan as much as they could: accommodations, attractions, and so on. I was much more
relaxed because I already had the chance to
experience the kindness of Wolfville for seven
months; I knew it would all come together
nicely.
About 7 days ago we started our road trip and, I
just have to say, Nova Scotian people all around
the province are so kind and nice and wonderful! People we've never met (both strangers and
parents & friends of friends) have provided us
places to stay and food and incredible hospitality. They’ve recommended many hidden local
things that otherwise we wouldn’t have ever
seen. Nova Scotia by itself is beautiful (especially
in fall), but combine it with awesome and generous people and it makes it even more special!
My sisters and I are so thankful for everything
we’ve been able to experience in Nova Scotia.
We have so many more reasons to come back as
soon as possible!

MIKE UNCORKED
THE CROSSWORD
by Mike Butler
brought to you by:
War and Remembrance:
Part Two
produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg,
I have just finished the CentreStage production of “My Boy Jack”, a gripping drama that
received stellar reviews; mostly for its cast
and the play’s no-holds-barred depiction of
the First World War. I was greatly tested as
an actor during this production, it was a very
different role for me, and I want to thank
the audiences and my cast mates for all their
support.
Now, with “My Boy Jack” and the First World
War finished, I have decided to move into the
Second World War and into “The Lighthouse”.
Nova Scotia playwright (and veteran CentreStage actor) Allen Hume wrote and directed
this riveting and very personal play about
family and war.
“The Lighthouse” is an enduring tale of
fortitude and strength in the face of the
heartaches that war can bring. Cast members
include Ray Baltzer, Sherry Bishop, Tracy
Churchill, Candy O’Brien, Mike Holland, Wil
Lang and myself, in the role of Lionel, the
youngest son of the Lighthouse family. What
an incredible experience it’s been to work with
this cast and with Allen again, after I had the
privilege of acting in his “Coins” last year. This
production is a Must-See! Allen Hume’s “The
Lighthouse” has only SIX performances on the
Main Stage of CentreStage Theatre playing October 24 - November 2 (see poster in this issue
or call CentreStage at 678-8040 for further
details and to reserve tickets). This is a very
special show, locally written, that will leave
you with a tear in your eye and a smile on your
face. I am so proud to be a part of it.
CentreStage Theatre & The Kings Historical
Society are also holding a special Remembrance Day show in the upstairs area of the
Old Courtroom of the Kings County Museum (37 Cornwallis Street). This unique
presentation is entitled “Remembering” and
will transport the audience trough music
and theatre. “Remembering” only has TWO
performances, one on November 7 at 7:30pm
and the final on November 8 at 7:30pm. Call
678-8040 to reserve tickets (Gift Certificates
and Season Passes are NOT accepted for this
presentation).
Do you not feel like taking in some live theatre? Well, here are my selections for the best
MOVIES that depict the Second World War, in
case you want to have a night at home without
a crowd of people. Watching movies about
such a harsh subject matter means you can
pause and take breaks if it gets too intense.
My favourite film about World War II is “Saving Private Ryan”, starring Tom Hanks. Steven
Spielberg directed this film as well as Schindler’s List - also one of my favourites. Both are
difficult to watch because of their intensity
but they are beautiful films about strength,
endurance and the human spirit. You could
easily pair up Saving Private Ryan with the
HBO series, Band of Brothers, coincidentally
which dramatizes the history of ‘Easy
Company’
(2nd Battalion
of the 506th
Parachute
Infantry Regiment of the
101st Airborne
Division) from
jump training
in the U.S.,
through its
participation
in major
actions in
Europe, and
to Japan's capitulation and
war's end. It’s
an outstanding
mini-series.

1. If you were born October 15, your zodiac sign
would be _____.
2. October is Breast Cancer ______ Month
3. October 16 is World ___ Day.
6. October's birth flower is the _____.
9. The Anglo-____ called October "Winterfylleth".
10. October has _____ days
12. October is also _____ Tumour Awareness
Month.
After that,
check out “Patton” (1970),
just for the brilliant performance by Oscar
winner George C. Scott as the famous general.
There’s also “Bridge on the River Kwai”, with
Alec Guiness and William Holden or “The
Great Escape” with Steve McQueen.
13. The title of one of Neil Gaiman's short stories
is "October in the ___".
4. The crossword in the Oct 2 issue of The
Grapevine was about this October holiday.
5. Hallowe'en, aka "All __ Eve" is celebrated on
October 31.
7. Ray Bradbury published a collection of short
stories entitled "The October ____" in 1955.
8. Slavs call October the ____ month.
10. Scorpio's birthstone is ______.
11. Opal is the birthstone of this zodiac sign.
For those film buffs that enjoy the extended
epic films, a whole afternoon spent with a
movie, then you must see the Wolfgang Peterson Director’s Cut of “Das Boot” (1981) or the
1962 star-filled epic “The Longest Day”. Spend
the weekend with “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, “A
Bridge Too Far”, “Stalag 17” (starring the unbelievable William Holden), or for something
lighter but just as important in its message,
you could even take in the classic “Casablanca”! And lastly, a great pair of Second World
War films that were both directed by Clint
Eastwood, tell both sides of the same war story and those films are “Flags of Our Fathers”
and “Letters from Iwo Jima”. Of course there
are hundreds of films to choose from, since
there are more hours of FILM about World
War Two then there were ACTUAL hours of
War, did you know that?
Name & Phone Number:
A few issues back, I wrote an article about
World War I and some of the events taking
place in the Valley (theatre and film wise) that
were being presented to commemorate the
100th anniversary. Well, with Remembrance
Day just around the corner, I felt it best to do
an article about some of the events happening
in the valley commemorating World War II.
402 Main St. Wolfville | 902.542.0653 | thenakedcrepebistro.ca
No matter how you choose to remember that
era, either through theatre or film, DO take
the time to actually remember and never forget. Thank You and Take Care of Yourselves!

Horoscopes for the week
of October 16th
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1987, a
college freshman named Mike Hayes was
having trouble paying for his education at
the University of Illinois. He appealed for
help to the famous newspaper columnist
Bob Greene, who asked each of his many
readers to send Hayes a penny. The response
was tidal. Although most of the ensuing
donations were small, they added up to over
$28,000—enough for Hayes to finance his
degree. I encourage you to take a comparable
approach in the coming weeks, Taurus: Ask
for a little from a lot of different sources.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The word
“abracadabra” is a spell that stage magicians
utter at the climax of their tricks: the catalyst
that supposedly makes a rabbit materialize
from a hat or an assistant disappear in a
puff of smoke. There’s no real sorcery. It’s
an illusion perpetrated by the magician’s
hocus-pocus. But “abracadabra” has a less
well-known history as an incantation used
by real magicians to generate authentic
wizardry. It can be traced back to Gnostic
magi of the second century. They and their
successors believed that merely speaking the
word aloud evokes a potency not otherwise
available. I invite you to experiment with
this possibility, Gemini. Say “abracadabra”
to boost your confidence and enhance your
derring-do. You already have more power
than usual to change things that have been
resistant to change, and intoning some
playfully ferocious “abracadabras” may put
your efforts over the top.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 17thcentury writer Rene Descartes is regarded
as the father of modern philosophy and
the founder of rationalism. His famous
catchphrase is a centerpiece of the Western
intellectual tradition: “I think, therefore
I am.” Here’s what I find amusing and
alarming about the man: He read almost
nothing besides the Bible and the work of
Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas. He
said that classic literature was a waste of
time. Is that who we want at the heart of
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can’t give what
you don’t have. Here’s a corollary: You can
sort of half-give what you half-have, but that
may lead to messy complications and turn
out to be worse than giving nothing at all. So
here’s what I recommend: Devote yourself to
acquiring a full supply of what you want to
give. Be motivated by the frustration you feel
at not being able to give it yet. Call on your
stymied generosity to be the driving force
that inspires you to get the missing magic.
When you’ve finally got it, give it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I suspect that
one of your allies or loved ones will get
caught in his or her own trap. The way you
respond will be crucial for how the rest of
the story plays out. On the one hand, you
shouldn’t climb into the trap with them
and get tangled up in the snarl. On the
other hand, it won’t serve your long-term
interests to be cold and unhelpful. So what’s
the best strategy? First, empathize with
their pain, but don’t make it your own.
Second, tell the blunt truth in the kindest
tone possible. Third, offer a circumscribed
type of support that won’t compromise your
freedom or integrity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1936, Libran
author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about the
“crack-up” he had experienced years earlier.
It included this tough realization: “I had
been only a mediocre caretaker of most of
the things left in my hands, even my talent.”
Let’s use this as a seed for your oracle. Have
you been a good caretaker of your talent?
Have you been a good caretaker for other
things you are responsible for? Look within
yourself and take inventory. If there’s
anything lacking, now is an excellent time to
raise your game. If you’re doing pretty well,
reward yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): On a late
summer day in 1666, scientist Isaac Newton
was sitting under an apple tree in his
mother’s garden in Lincolnshire, England.
An apple fell off a branch and plummeted to
the ground. A half-century later, he told his
biographer that this incident inspired him to
formulate the theory of gravity. Fast forward
to the year 2010. Astronaut Piers Sellers
got on the space shuttle Atlantis carrying a
piece of Newton’s apple tree. He took it with
him as he escaped Earth’s gravity on his trip
to the International Space Station. By my
reading of the astrological omens, now would
be an excellent time for you undertake a
comparable gesture or ritual, Scorpio. With
a flourish, update your relationship with an
important point of origin.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Most
birds don’t sing unless they are up high:
either flying or perched somewhere off the
ground. One species that isn’t subject to
this limitation is the turnstone, a brightly
mottled shorebird. As it strolls around
beaches in search of food, it croons a tune
that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology calls
“a short, rattling chuckle.” In the coming
weeks, this creature deserves to be your
mascot—or your power animal, as they say
in New Age circles. Why? I doubt that you
will be soaring. You won’t be gazing down at
the human comedy from a detached location
high above the fray. But I expect you will be
well-grounded and good-humored—holding
your own with poise amidst the rough-andtumble. As you ramble, sing freely!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let’s
discuss that thing you are eyeing and
coveting and fantasizing about. My
operative theory is that you can enjoy it
without actually having it for your own. In
fact, I think it will be best if you do enjoy it
without possessing it. There’s an odd magic
at play here. If this desired thing becomes
a fixed part of your life, it may interfere
with you attracting two future experiences
that I regard as more essential to your
development. My advice is to avoid getting
attached to the pretty good X-factor so as to
encourage the arrival and full bloom of two
stellar X-factors.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Problems
that remain persistently insoluble should
always be suspected as questions asked
in the wrong way,” said philosopher Alan
Watts. You have either recently made
a personal discovery proving that this
is true, or else you will soon do so. The
brain-scrambling, heart-whirling events of
recent weeks have blessed you with a host
of shiny new questions. They are vibrant
replacements for the tired old questions
that have kept at least one of your oldest
dilemmas locked in place.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “There is
for everyone some one scene, some one
adventure, some one picture that is the
image of his secret life,” said Irish poet
William Butler Yeats. I invite you to identify
that numinous presence, Pisces. And then
I urge you to celebrate and cultivate it.
Give special attention to it and pay tribute
to it and shower love on it. Why? Because
now is an excellent time to recognize how
important your secret life is to you—and
to make it come more fully alive than it has
ever been.

2,000 businesses that buy and sell jewelry.
Throughout the years, many people have
lost bits of treasure here. Valuable bits
of gold and gems have fallen off broken
necklaces, earrings, watches, and other
accessories. Now an enterprising man
named Raffi Stepnanian is cashing in.
Using tweezers and a butter knife, he mines
for the rich pickings that are packed in the
mud of sidewalk cracks and gutters. “The
percentage of gold out here on the street is
greater than the amount of gold you would
find in a mine,” he says. I’d love to see you

Although there is no official eating disorder recovery symbol, the logo for the National Eating
Disorders Association (NEDA) is often used to symbolize recovery from these devastating disorders. Tess Pooran got this tattoo a couple of months into her recovery from Anorexia. Before
she left for residential treatment, a counsellor told her that recovery would not only nourish her
body and help her regain health, but it would also nourish her soul. She chose the word “Nourish” and the NEDA symbol – a beautifully simple design with swooping curves - to help remind
herself to choose recovery every day.

Thurs. Nov. 6: Richard Wagamese 7pm, Fountain Commons Great Hall
Richard Wagamese, a Canada Reads Finalist for Indian Horse, reads
from a stunning new novel that tells the universal story of a father/
son struggle in a fresh, utterly memorable way, set in the dramatic landscape of the BC Interior. A novel about love, friendship,
courage, and the idea that the land has within it powers of healing,
Medicine Walk reveals the ultimate goodness of its characters and
offers a deeply moving and redemptive conclusion. Wagamese's
writing soars and his insight and compassion are matched by his gift
of communicating these to the reader.

Tues. Nov. 18: Deanna Young, 7pm Vaughan Library Quiet Reading Room
Deanna Young reads from her haunted and haunting third poetry collection, House Dreams, part of which is set in the Annapolis
Valley. A book of dark corners and shifting locations, full of switches
that light up the unobvious places elsewhere in the house, the book
is at once a core sample of the life we all live underground, and a
view beneath the foundations of the various eras and places that
make up one woman’s life story. These poems have the plainspoken
power, surreal shifting, uncanny logic and transformed everyday
imagery of our most numinous dreams.

Canadian comedian Ron James returning to Acadia
Acadia University’s 175th
anniversary and Homecoming will feature a special
comedy event with Canadian
comedian and Acadia alumnus Ron James (’79). “A Ron
James Homecoming” will be
held October 18, 7:30 p.m.
at University Hall, Acadia
University in Wolfville and
the proceeds will directly
benefit the ‘Sydney Taylor
’13 Memorial Award’ and
alumni programming at
Acadia. Created in 2013 to
honour Sydney Taylor, who
passed away suddenly just
before her graduation ceremony in 2013, the
scholarship is aimed at helping Acadia University students with their studies.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ron back to
campus to help us celebrate the end of an exciting 175th anniversary year and raise money
for the award,” said Hugh Bray (‘75), event
chair and past president of the Associated
Alumni of Acadia University. “Many folks are
unaware that Ron had a special connection
with Sydney.” James’ CBC comedy series “The
Ron James Show” previously employed Taylor
as a student intern. According to James, Taylor made
a remarkable impact on the
entire production team.
“Sydney was a bright student
who immediately immersed
herself in the filming process with confidence and
eagerness,” said James. “Her
energy and enthusiasm for
the craft was infectious.”
James recently wrapped production on the fifth season
of his hit series and has since
been touring the country
with his “Take No Prisoners” comedy show.
Described as “utterly brilliant” by The Ottawa
Sun, James will end his tour by returning
to his Acadia and Wolfville roots. For more

Wed. Nov. 26: Michael Crummey 7pm, KCIC Auditorium
Michael Crummey reads from Sweetland, his most irresistible novel
yet. The inhabitants of a remote island off Newfoundland's south
coast are offered a government compensation package to leave the
island for good. Former fisherman, retired lightkeeper, lifelong
bachelor, Sweetland resists the concerted, sometimes violent coercion of family and friends in order to hold onto the only place he's
ever called home. Rash, resourceful, inscrutable, cunning, Moses
Sweetland ranks with fiction’s most unforgettable characters, as do
many of those closest to him. But Sweetland's most intimate relationship is with the island that shaped him, a place at once beautiful
and potentially lethal, as enigmatic and as fierce as the man himself. Publisher funded tour.

CentreStage Presents The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse is the focus of this play and serves as a
beacon not only in the lives of the close-knit family who live
within it, but to the surrounding community as well. Set

gaged in the fighting while others, including the lighthouse
keeper, who is also the mayor of the community, are trying
to resurrect an industry for those who return. An enduring
tale of fortitude and strength in the face of the heartaches
that war can bring. This drama is written and directed by
Nova Scotian playwright Allen Hume. Cast Members (in

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.
Do Not Eat The Soap
Well, it only took 6 1/2 months of dedicated
training, but today I finished my very first
half marathon. And what does every runner
crave after a long, hard run? That's right:
a long relaxing shower. Fortunately, this
edition's focus is Slice Soapworks.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I feel I should
tell you (and the good people of Slice Soapworks) that I first acquired a product from
Slice a little over three weeks ago in stealth
mode. I figured something like a body lotion
should have a good long time to soak in (see
what I did there) in order for me to give a
proper evaluation of the effectiveness of said
product.
Now. There is a certain judge in town, who
shall remain nameless, who is not fond of
scented products. In fact, she has been
known to close Court to allow scent offenders to clean up their act. Fortunately, I am
also a member of the less-is-more and noneis-perfect school of thought when it comes
to befouling our shared airspace. While Slice
makes many delightfully scented products,
they also produce an array of exciting products for the minimalist (noneist?) camp. I
asked whether they produced an unscented
body lotion and while the knowledgeable
and friendly daughter to the chief soap cook
(Taylor) told me that they do manufacture
unscented lotion, they were sold out at
the time I made my request. Excitingly,
however, they make a wonderful peppermint
lotion!
The lotion is just about the greatest thing
I can think of for a post-run shower. It is
soothing and refreshing and it leaves no
scent to irritate anyone. I have extremely
dry sky and this lotion has been amazing.
The other fantastic part is that it comes in
glass bottles, which you can return for refills
and/or refunds. I am a convert.
The week after I had procured said loveliness, I returned to Slice and introduced
myself, this time in search of their raison
d'être: soap. Soap has gotten a bad rap over
the years and no wonder. The cakes of crud
offered by supermarkets and drugstores is
nasty, harsh, chemically badness. Handmade
cold-pressed soap, on the other hand, is a
wonder to behold. Slice Soapworks starts

with a base of goat milk from their very
own goats! I can tell you, when goats are
involved, life is just better. And here is the
really cool part: their soap is also available
in unscented but exciting varieties. Nothing
has made me more thrilled than to see their
“Valley Vineyards” variety. This soap has a
lovely swirly colour and just the faintest hint
of a lovely red wine. I love the combination
of local goodies and fun options for the
unscented crowd. I am told, too, it has extra
wonderful benefits for my skin.
I let Clara choose a second soap and she
selected one called “Forest.” Forest has cedar
wood, balsam fir and pine oils and it smells
like a hike to Cape Split. Clara held it to her
nose most of the way home, sighing “Oh
WHY does it smell SO GOOD!!!” As for me,
I decided to go with the theme of the week
at the Wolfville Farmers' Market, which was
Pumpkin Palooza. Slice had whipped up a
delicious smelling Sweet Pumpkin Chai. This
soap smells so good it makes me want to bite
it (a lifelong challenge of mine, as my mother
will tell you: I love soap). I have resisted,
however, as experience has taught me that
even the best smelling soap is not edible.
In short – do not eat the soap, do not lick
the lotion, but DO rush out and get your
own delightful soap, lotion (and bath bombs
and lip balms) to let your skin drink in. Slice
is available at the Wolfville Farmers' Market,
and other locations.

The WHO’S WHO:
Wil Lang: TRIUMPHS OF THE WIL!
I’m a busy man. There, I admitted it! Right
here in PRINT, I admit to all my readers, I
am a very busy man, but what about Wil
Lang? Seriously, check out this guy. Yes, it’s
Wil with only one ‘L’ and if you’ve eaten at
the Troy Restaurant in Wolfville, strolled
through the Wolfville market, escaped to
Pantoland in Fezziwig 2013, or just walked
around town, then you’ve seen, heard of, or
encountered Wil Lang. And if you haven’t,
then you haven’t left the house in a very
long time. I am busy but Wil Lang takes the
Baklava!
Wil Lang comes from Banff, Alberta. He
moved to Wolfville in his late 20’s to go to
Acadia. Wil studied Theatre and fell in love
with the Valley. My first encounter with Wil
was as an audience member for some of his
Acadia productions and then seeing him in
all his glory as one of the December Male
Calendar models for the Men of Wolfville
Spread (we’re not ashamed are we Wil, as I
will always be Mr. April!) Wil moved back to
Alberta to complete his Masters in Architecture and following that accomplishment,
returned to Wolfville where he’s been ever
since. He is the proud father of two adorable
sons named Lennon and Wynn.
To go with Wil’s snappy shirts and pants, he
wears many hats. Professionally, Wil is the
owner and operator of Green Army Design,
where he practices sustainable residential
development. Wil states, “Growing up
in Banff, I developed a strong respect for
the environment. This formalized into an
interest in environmental politics during my
years at Acadia. From there I chose to study
sustainable architecture as a way for me to
make a tangible difference in our shared
futures. The Green Army is my vehicle to do
just that, and we are going to need a Green
Army if we are going to tackle the many challenges ahead of us.” You can pop in to Green
Army and see what Wil has to offer. His
office is located at 3 Elm Avenue in Wolfville
and you can find Green Army Design on
Facebook.
Wil is also the co-owner of the fabulous
Troy Restaurant located at 12 Elm Avenue
in Wolfville. Have you been there? It’s to die
for!!! And having worked in the hospitality
industry for over 20 years, loving the customer service aspect of serving, and being
around great people and amazing food, Wil
fit perfectly at Troy. Wil says “it’s a job that
lets you entertain and make people happy, I
mean, what more could you ask for? Troy allows me the opportunity to indulge this side
of me.” Be sure to check out their website for
upcoming events at troyrestaurant.ca, and
get down there to enjoy a nice meal on the
patio before old man winter takes over.
Another hat Wil wears is that of the
President of the WBDC. Being part of this
organization has given Wil an enormous
appreciation for the business community
in Wolfville. He hopes to use his leadership
skills to continue building Wolfville into
a premier destination for visitors and an
exciting and successful environment for
businesses to thrive.
And now for the Theatre hat that Wil wears.
Wil always jokes that his other professions
are a way to allow him to be an unemployed
actor for the rest of his life. After being a
part of the Fezziwig ensemble in last year’s
Alice in Pantoland (Wil was the THRILLER-singing Werewolf), he has picked up
the acting bug again and couldn’t be more
Thrilled! (hee hee, get it… Thriller… and
Thrilled… Anyone?)
Wil will be returning to the stage in this
year’s Fezziwig production of “Scrooge:
Back to the Future” in December, but first
he’s taking on a more serious role in Allen
Hume’s drama “The Lighthouse” playing at
CenteStage Theatre October 24, 25, 26 (matinee), November 1 (matinee and evening),
and November 2 (matinee). Yes, that’s right
folks, only SIX performances of this exquisite production. Wil plays a WWII soldier
named Raymond, and his role has so many
levels of emotion, you simply have to see it!
Call 678-8040 to make reservations.
Outside of work (and other things) Wil
spends a lot of time with his boys. Wil says
of Wolfville that it’s “such an amazing place small, beautiful, safe, an hour away from the
city, an hour away from the airport, an hour
away from the south shore, etc. There are
great schools, a healthy environment, and
it’s the best place to raise kids.”
Now, what does the future hold for this
extremely busy man? Well, Will says it might
involve some level of public service, be it
Municipal, Provincial or Federal (Mayor Wil
Lang?) but he would need to write a juicy
tell-all memoir first, right? Troy and Green
Army Design are still young, so they have
some growth ahead. And of course now that
Wil has the acting bug (and he’s not getting
any younger, despite looking 14 years old
with that new Lighthouse haircut), he is
seeking more acting gigs on film or on stage.
It’s a big commitment but, it’s not like he’s
busy or anything!
See the Lighthouse! See Fezziwig! Eat at
Troy! Save the Planet! Where there’s a WIL,
there’s a Way!

and I love feeling part of the Market ‘family’. I have come to

FAMILY FUN IN THE VALLEY:
L is for Lacrosse!
AXE RADIO TOP TEN
Lacrosse was originally played by First Nations peoples
and has since become Canada's National Summer
Sport. However, very few people know what it is, let
alone how to play it!
Lacrosse is played with a small rubber ball and a
long-handled stick. The head of the lacrosse stick is
strung with loose mesh designed to catch and hold the
ball. The objective of the game is to score by shooting
the ball into an opponent's goal, using the lacrosse stick
to catch, carry, and pass the ball.
Now you have an opportunity to learn how to play!
There is a group in the area called Kentville Lacrosse
(which can be found on Facebook under the same
name). There are teams for all ages and they usually
practice at the Kingstec Campus, NSCC in Kentville.
“If I hadn’t decided to come to
Wolfville for school I would’ve
missed out on so many opportunities and friendships” -Gillian
The Western Valley Lacrosse Association is a mixed
introductory and competitive program open to youth
ages four to 16 years. Players come from Kings and Annapolis Counties and practice in Berwick and Kingston
(www.valleylacrosse.ca).

RecipE
Slow Cooker Black Bean Chili
By Darrin Harvey
S
ue is a superb cook. She put herself through Acadia as a caterer. This is one thing I can
'cook' (for lack of a better term) that we both really like. We mix it all up before work and
come home to supper ready and the house smelling amazing. It's a fantastic, we're-both-toobusy-to-cook fall meal. It makes leftovers for days.
Ingredients
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
1 lb pork tenderloin
16oz jar of salsa
3 - 15oz cans of black beans
I cup instant brown rice
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp ground cumin
2-3 tsp chili powder
1-1&1/2 tsp dried oregano
Directions
•
•
•
•
Combine all ingredients (except the
rice) in a slow cooker
Cover, cook on low for 6-8 hours or
until pork is tender
Add the uncooked instant rice at the
end, giving it just enough time to cook
(10-15 mins).
The original recipe called for 1 onion
- I hate onions - and no rice. We made
that part up.
Support a local farmer, artist, student, and
an international community all in one go!
That’s the hope of
one of the artists
being featured at
Jack’s Gallery this
month, located in
the Just Us coffee
shop in Wolfville.
Rachel Morrison,
a fourth year
Acadia University
student, hopes
to raise enough
money to help
fund her international community
development
trip to Peru this
coming March.
Each winter, the students in their final year
of study in the Community Development
program, embark on a three-week community
development project, the culmination of their
studies in the bachelor degree program. This
project takes the form of two local initiatives
and one international, this year taking place
in Peru. In order to get there, the students
need to raise over $3,000 each.
Aside from being a student, Rachel has been
a professional artist for many years, creating
commissioned artwork (watercolour paintings and graphite renderings) and working as
a commercial artist. This art show is her first
fine art venture and the first time her work
has been shown in a gallery. The theme for
her show is local agriculture – this is a very
personal topic for her, as she and her partner
also began a small
farming business
this past year.
Inspired by her
garden work, many
of the photos referenced in her paintings were taken at
her farm this past
summer.
The show will
be in the gallery
until October 26th,
2014. For more information, please
