S ince the opening of the Rolled Oat Cafe in July 2010, being involved in the local music scene has

been part of our plan. Though the cafe is small, it provides an intimate venue for musicians to play for a very attentive audience who are encouraged to “pay what you can to support the band”. We are happy to be able to provide musicians with a place to play, and it gives us the opportunity to enjoy the great music that the valley has to offer.

When Chris Luedecke came into the cafe for lunch in February, we proposed the idea of setting a date for a much overdue show in Wolfville. We realized our cafe was too small and his fan base was too large, so we found ourselves trying our hand at the new role of “concert promotion”. Luckily we are located just down the street from a great music venue – The Al Whittle Theatre!

On April 7, Old Man Luedecke won his second, well-deserved Juno Award in the Category of Solo Roots & Traditional Album of the year. His latest album, released in 2010, My Hands are On Fire and Other Love Songs is yet another brilliant collection of honest and energetic banjo songs. Luedecke is coming to Wolfville before playing the Winnipeg Folk Festival in May and setting out on his summer concert tour to the West Coast.

Ontario singer-songwriter Jesse T. Reid will open the show. Hear him and Old Man Luedecke online at : www.jessereid.com, www.oldmanluedecke.ca

Lucky gal was found starved and wandering in Avonport by a volunteer with WAAG. She was frightened and dehydrated. The volunteer

took her home and gave her some much needed TLC before she came to our shelter. Sabrina loves attention and is seemingly grateful to be off the road. She is sweet and slinky although she has gained some weight since her arrival. Her picture does not do her justice so please come and meet her in person. You will fall in love. She is becoming less and less content with shelter life and really needs a good home!!!

NEW ON TAP: McAuslan Apricot Wheat Ale

This most dramatic of all the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire will feature Sarah Langley (Josephine, H.M.C.S. Pinafore, 2010) as the elusive Elsie Maynard and Lori Proulx (Angela, Cinderella, 2009) as the pining Phoebe Meryll. You will meet our new Tenor Ben Shaw as the handsome Colonel Fairfax and be thrilled as our hero conspires to escape the false charges of sorcery for which he has been imprisoned. Laughter and marriages abound, all under the ominous shadow of the Tower of London.

The renowned Gilbert and Sullivan Society Chorus will be on-stage as Yeomen and Townsfolk, ably assisted by familiar G&S personalities such as Jolene Pattison, Alan Manchester, Brian King and others.This show will take place at The Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville, on May

1st, 2011. Show starts at 7:30pm. $20 Tickets for this event are available at BOX OF DELIGHTS in Wolfville & online at www.gandsnovascotia.ca

This is sure to be a great, unique event for the Valley, so come on down and support.

The Yeomen of the Guard: The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of NS is pleased to announce its production for Spring 2011

The New Booker School (www.newbookerschool.ca) will be the first school east of Montreal committed to becoming an accredited World School offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP, grades 1-5) and Middle Years Program (MYP, grades 6-8). It is poised to commence in September 2011 if a minimum enrollment is reached.

With Horton High School prepared to continue the IB course work of the Middle Years Program (grades 9 -10) in addition to offering the internationally recognized IB Diploma (grades 11- 12), Valley students will have rare access to all three IB programs during their school career.

The International Baccalaureate ® (IB) is a non-profit educational foundation motivated by its missions, focused on the student.The three programs for students ages 3-19 help develop the

intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world.

Board member Dr. Balliett Thun:

“The IB is process rather than content based, which allows students to learn and apply how to learn rather than just what they have learned. In my opinion, the IB program is a superior approach that teaches kids how to attack and solve problems and to approach learning holistically, creatively and with confidence. Challenge becomes a good, invigorating thing rather than a threat, and novel and complex information becomes exciting instead of intimidating.”

Located in Wolfville, on the gracious 5-acre campus of Landmark East at 708 Main Street, the New Booker School will be a separate legal entity and classrooms will be housed in an independent building, however,

students will enjoy access to Landmark East’s existing cafeteria, library, computer and science labs, sports facilities and bus.

The new school is supported by Landmark East’s Headmaster, Peter Coll - himself an IB teacher and international examiner, as well as John Messenger the Provincial IB Co-ordinator in the Department of Education & former Headmaster of Kings-Edgehill.

The Official Mentor School is Stratford Hall under Dr. Jim McConnell, founding principal of Stratford Hall, Vancouver (www.stratfordhall.ca). Consulting Principal is Mark Mayer, Gutenberg, Sweden.

Board members include Michel V. Cheff (Museum of Civilization, Ottawa) and Balliet Thun (PhD, M.Ed. Halifax). Consultants include Jim Morrow (Artistic Director, Mermaid Theatre).

Details of the IB Mission statement, the IB learner profile and the Primary and Middle Years curriculum are at www.ibo.org.

PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSIONS will be held Wednesday April 27 at the Wolfville Public Library, 21 Elm Avenue at 7pm and Thursday April 28 at the Windsor Public Library, 195 Albert St. at 7pm.

This is written in the shadow of Canada’s fourth federal election in seven years, and I am wondering if efforts from social networking groups, strategic voting sites and democracy advocacy groups are going to make the difference so many seem to want: Transparency, accountability, & a respect for our democracy. High falutin word concept, democracy. It is defined online as, "a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and this power is exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system”. What will our collective voice be saying as of May 2? (If you don’t vote, please don’t complain about the outcome.) Our system of government can sometimes seem messy. "It has been said that democracy is

the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried”, great democrat Winston Churchill offered. In a less charitable mood he muttered, “The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter”. Wit Oscar Wilde opined, “Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people”. It certainly reflects a cynicism strongly evident these days after so many elections. One hopes our representatives will find a way to cooperate and proceed. Long ago a purist proclaimed, “In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme”. Perhaps corporate lobbyists weren't as active back

in Aristotle’s day. (Oh, there’s that cynicism again.) I’ll offer Abe Lincoln for the sobering last word on this: “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.” And what does this term mean to you, dear reader? Is it working as it is or do we need proportional representation? Is democracy something we exercise once every once in a while when we vote, then lay aside for others to practice, or is it something that requires constant vigilance to ensure our grandchildren’s grandchildren will still have it, or a better version of it, as a system of community management, our common government? Whatever your idea of democracy, let's make sure it continues in our land; make sure you get out on May the 2nd and VOTE! And take your neighbour.

To the east of the upper slope of the already planted Gaspereau Vineyards is an unplanted area of about 5 acres. Hans Christian Jost, owner of Gaspereau Vineyards has always regarded this piece of land as one of the best locations to grow grapes. Rather than plant it with just any grape varieties, he wanted to save that

piece of land and plant it with grape varieties that are extra sensitive and require the climate in this plot to fully ripen and survive. Over the last 10 years or so, the property to the west of this piece of land has been planted with a variety of grapes in hopes of determining varieties that grow well in that section and that might work well in the

unplanted section to the East. We feel that we have a good idea what grapes might flourish there now but at this time, there are no immediate plans to plant there. Maybe within the next 5 years, work will be started.

Scott Brison, Liberal Party:

Conservative Green home renovation tax credits help Canadian families invest in items like new windows, insulation and roofing which reduce energy consumption. It makes a lot of sense: families save money on their energy bills while helping the environment. The Conservatives are promising to bring back the ecoENERGY Retrofit Homes program for one year (2011) after cancelling it twice. This program has great merit and should be made permanent and refundable -- like the Liberal's Green Renovation Tax Credit -- so that all Canadian families know they can count on it when they make renovation plans more than a few months in advance. The Conservatives also promise to introduce a tax credit for volunteer firefighters. Again, this is a good idea which can be strengthened by making the tax credit refundable -- like the Liberal proposal -- so that low-income Canadians are not excluded from the benefits.

Green I support the Green Party's emphasis on smart investments in green infrastructure and transportation that are both good for the economy and good for the environment. The Green Party is also concerned that the Harper government spent through the surplus and created a structural deficit even before the recession began. They disapprove of cutting corporate income taxes on borrowed money while "Canadians save less, carry more debt and work more hours for the same money" (page 11 of their platform). They are worried that the Conservatives do not have a credible plan to get Canada out of deficit. I share the Green Party's concerns and applaud their commitment to balance the budget, even though we would adopt somewhat different measures to get Canada there.

NDP Too many Canadians are worried they cannot afford to retire, and too many seniors are struggling in poverty when they do retire. The Liberals and NDP agree that we need to strengthen Canada’s public pension system so that Canadians who work hard their whole lives to provide for their families can continue to make ends meet when they retire. The New Democratic Party promises to increase CPP benefits, and work with the provinces to create a new, voluntary supplement to the CPP. The NDP also promises to give greater protection to employee long-term disability benefits in the event a company goes bankrupt. Finally, the NDP promises to increase the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) benefit for seniors living in poverty. These are all measures that I support and I am proud that they are also in the Liberal platform.

Scott Brison, Liberal Party

David Morse, Conservative Party:

I have always felt all Parties have good intentions. The differences emerge when you start setting priorities, and the fiscal sustainability of their platforms (or not). So each Party tries to strike a balance, and the voters judge them on their platforms, approach and how realistic they judge them to be.

David Morse, Conservative Party

Mark Rogers, New Democratic Party elected not to participate.

Sheila G. Richardson, Green Party of Canada:

The Green Party of Canada believes that to make Canada a True Democracy all parties must work together in a positive way. I thank the Grapevine for this unique opportunity to review the other parties platforms and highlight positive points on which all of us can agree and support. The New Democrats have a section in their platform on improving access to child care. They say they will work with the provinces and territories to establish and fund a Canada-wide child care and early learning program, enshrined in law, with the goals of creating 25,000 new child care spaces per year for the next four years. They will also work to improve community infrastructure to support the growth of child care spaces, and create integrated, community-based, child-centred early learning and education centres that provide parents with a “one-stop shop” for family services. These ideas are definitely shared in the Green Party vision of improving the quality of life by addressing the work-home balance. Making a living should never impede on having a life. Strong Communities are the foundation of Canada.

The NDP have a good environmental policy and they need to get into the position of power before they can implement their green policies. The NDP are strong on Social Policy and the Economy. They work for minority groups and pledge to work for the working poor and middle class. The NDP has an excellent child care policy that the Green Party could endorse. The Conservative government has, in the past, provided some very sound support for culture. This was exhibited by the establishment of two new national museums -- the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, in Halifax, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, in Winnipeg. The Conservatives maintain in their current platform that they will continue this support. Arts and culture and its continued funding is a solid foundation in maintaining and developing Strong Communities as presented by the GPC. The Liberal Party shares many ideas with the Green Party of Canada. One just needs to look at our two platforms as presented in the current and previous elections. The fact that Green ideas are being adopted and implemented in other parties shows the growing influence of the GPC. One very positive point in the current Liberal platform is that they will protect our environment while building a clean energy future for Canada. They want Canada to earn the reputation as a global leader in clean resources, exporting resource-based products with the lowest possible impact. As well, they believe Canada can be a key supplier in Green knowledge, technology and expertise to other markets to ensure responsible management, development, and consumption of natural resources. We share the vision of a Strong Economy built on a Green future.

It would be good to see all five parties working together to provide rail transportation, better transit buses, removing our dependence on oil and dirty fossil fuels, and creating green jobs to bring Canada into a world leadership position for green technology.

When a Poet Researcher meets a Nurse Educator

The Acadia PageAcadia University - 15 University Ave, Wolfville. 542-2201

Staffed Switchboard 8:30am-4:30pm. [email protected] – General Inquiries

I am a poet researcher. My research is poetic inquiry.

I write poetry to come to a better understanding of human experience, and to communicate that understanding to my audiences—the academic community and communities beyond the academy. I also use poetry in my teaching.

In July of 2007, I attended a conference in Amsterdam where I read some of my poetry as part of a presentation. Professor Liz Day, from the University of Derby, was in the audience and responded to my poems by saying that she saw how she could use them in her teaching. Liz later approached me to ask if I could send her one of my poems—The Nightmare Before First Communion. Liz is a nurse educator. She subsequently used that poem in teaching nurses. I was amazed; I had not imagined that my poetry could be used in such ways. Fortunately, my audiences are not limited by what I may not see.

Since that time, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Liz via the internet on a number of projects. We wrote and published a piece on learning, teaching and researching through poetry. We collaborated on a presentation for the Nurse Education Today conference in 2008, which was held in Cambridge, England where Liz included a sound byte I made of me reading the poem and talking to the audience about

it. We also recently, again using poetry, completed a chapter on older male ex-prisoners’ experiences of healthcare while in prison.

At the beginning of April, Liz arrived at Acadia for a short stay as a Visiting Scholar in the School of Education. Despite our work together, this is the first time I have actually seen Liz since July of 2007. Less than a week after her arrival, Liz gave a presentation titled ‘I have never been a poetry girl: Responses to creative engagement with the arts by health and social care students.’ Since her arrival, she has also been present in two

sessions of my graduate studies course on research literacy where she provided feedback to the students about their presentations and was part of an expert panel on research alongside Dr. David MacKinnon, Dean (Acting) of Research and Graduate Studies, and Dr. Brenda Trofanenko, Canada Research Chair. Liz was also present at the book launch of my book Of Place and Memory: A Poetic Journey (available from the Acadia University Bookstore). I dedicated my poetry reading to Liz in appreciation for the work she has done with my poetry.

I look forward to future

collaborations with Liz. We are planning an edited book with the working title Understandings of the Humanities in Teaching and Learning the Art of Nursing, and we will be presenting together next October at the Third International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry, which is being held in Bournemouth, England.

Liz Day’s stay here at Acadia has been too short; she leaves on Easter Sunday.

While here, however, as well as her academic work, Liz has explored Wolfville, taking in concerts, the cuisine, the coffee, and some Nova Scotian wine. She has also taken in the beauty of the place I now call home, a place that has become part of what inspires me as a poet.

And finally, Liz would like to say, “Thank-you to Dr. Heather Hemming, Dean of Professional Studies, for the invitation to come to Acadia University as a Visiting Scholar, to my international colleagues at Acadia for making me feel so welcome, and to John for opening up another perspective on my life through poetry.”

It was a pleasure to have you visit us Liz. Come back soon.

As the Grapevine is a bi-weekly paper, you will have to get next week’s horoscopes at freewillastrology.com/horoscopes

Horoscopes for week of April 21, 2011 © Copyright 2011 Rob Brezsny

ARIES (march 21-april 19): Now comes one of the supreme tests that most every Aries must periodically face: Will you live up to your promises? Will you follow through on your rousing start? Will you continue to stay passionately committed once

the fiery infatuation stage evolves into the earthy foundation-building stage? Here's a secret to succeeding at this test: You can't just try to force yourself to "be good" and do the right thing. Nor does it work to use shame or guilt to motivate yourself. Somehow you've got to marshal pure, raw excitement for the gritty detail work to come. You've got to fall in love with the task of actually fleshing out your dreams.

TAURUS (april 20-may 20): In his book on intuition, psychologist David G. Myers defines it as "the capacity for direct knowledge and immediate insight, without any observation or reason." Another expert on the subject, Malcolm Gladwell, describes intuition as the "power of thinking without thinking." Both authors encourage us to cultivate this undersung way of grasping our raw experience. But Myers also warns us of the perils of intuition if it's untempered by logic and analysis. It can lead us down rabbit holes where we lose track of the difference between our fantasies and the real world. It can cause us to mistake our fears for accurate ESP or get lost in a maze of self-fulfilling prophecies. I bring all of this to your attention, Taurus, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to hone and purify your intuition.

GEMINI (may 21-June 20): One of the most impressive elements of the Egyptian uprising in January and February came after it was all over. Eighteen days of street protests created a huge mess in Cairo's Tahrir Square and the surrounding area. When Hosni Mubarak finally resigned and reforms began percolating, thousands of demonstrators returned with brooms and rubber gloves and garbage bags to set the place back in order. I urge you to follow a similar sequence in the coming weeks, Gemini. Agitate for change; rebel against the stale status quo; fight corruption and ignorance; and once your work has led to at least a partial success, clean up after yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): "Sometimes nature seems more beautiful than strictly necessary," said physicist Steven Weinberg as he admired a hackberry tree stoked with blue jays, yellowthroated vireos, and a red cardinal. You may find yourself thinking similar thoughts in the coming week, Cancerian. From what I can tell, life is primed to flood you with simple glories and exotic revelations, with signs of eternal splendor and hints of sublime meaning, with natural wonders and civilization's more interesting gifts.

LEO (July 23-aug. 22): I became an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church when I was 19 years old. Since then I have officiated at numerous baptisms, initiations, weddings (including marrying people to themselves), divorces, renamings, housewarmings, ghost-banishings, and the taking of primal vows. In all my years of facilitating these ceremonies, I've rarely seen a better time than right now for you Leos to seek a cathartic rite of passage. You may even be tempted to try several. I recommend you do no more than two, however. Are you

ready to break a taboo or smash an addiction? Renounce a delusion or pledge your devotion or leap to the next level?

VIRGO (aug. 23-Sept. 22): It would be an excellent time for you to acquire the Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness Kit, a package of goodies prepared by domestic expert Martha Stewart. I say this not because a Zombie Apocalypse is looming, or any other kind

of apocalypse for that matter. Rather, the kit's presence in your life might encourage you to make fun of your fears. And that would be a perfect way to cooperate with the current cosmic tendencies, which are conspiring to diminish the inhibitions that your anxieties hold in place. Remember one of the key rules in the game of life: Humor dissipates worry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-oct. 22): Eighty years ago, an explorer who visited the Maori of New Zealand found they had such good eyesight that many were able to detect Jupiter's four largest moons with their naked eyes. That's the kind of vision you could have in the coming days, Libra -- metaphorically speaking, at least. The astrological omens say you have the potential to see further and deeper into any part of reality you choose to focus on. Inner truths that have been hidden from you are ready to be plucked by your penetrating probes. For best results, cleanse your thoughts of expectations. Perceive what's actually there, not what you want or don't want to be there.

SCORPIO (oct. 23-nov. 21): You really should ventilate your house periodically, even when the weather's cool. The air indoors gets stale; you need to flush it out and welcome in some fresh stuff. In my astrological opinion, it's especially important for you to do this right now. So please consider opening all the windows for a while and inviting the breezes to blow through. In addition to its practical value for your respiratory system, it could serve as a ritual that gently blows the dusty crud out of your mind, thereby improving the circulation in your thoughts and emotions and fantasies.

SAGITTARIUS (nov. 22-dec. 21): What do you like most about work? What are the pleasurable experiences that happen for you when you're engaged in demanding tasks that require you to be focused, competent, and principled? I think it's important for you to identify those hard-earned joys and then brainstorm about what you can do to expand and intensify them. You're in a phase of your long-term cycle when you can make a lot of headway toward transforming your job situation so it serves you better.

CAPRICORN (dec. 22-Jan. 19): The next phase of your life will be an excellent time to unbreak your heart. Here's what I mean by that: You will have extra power to dissolve any pain that still lingers from the romantic disappointments of the past. You'll be able to summon acute insights into how to dismantle the sodden and unnecessary defenses you built to protect yourself from loss and humiliation. You will find it easier than ever before to forgive and forget any close companion who hurt you. So get out there, Capricorn, and launch the joyful process of restoring your love muscles to their original potency.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-feb. 18): "Search For Self Called Off After 38 Years," read the headline in The Onion. "I always thought that if I kept searching and exploring, I'd discover who I truly was," the report began, quoting 38-year-old Andrew Speth. "Well, I looked deep into the innermost recesses of my soul, and you know what I found? An empty, windowless room the size of an aircraft hangar. From now on, if anybody needs me, I'll be sprawled out on my couch drinking black-cherry soda and watching Law & Order like everybody else." I wonder if Speth is an Aquarius? Many of my Aquarian acquaintances seem to have hit a dead end recently in their quest to fulfill the ancient maxim "Know thyself." If you're like that, please hang on. The floodgates of self-discovery will open soon.

PISCES (feb. 19-march 20): Odds are high that you know very little about Africa. Can you name even 20 of its more than 50 countries? Are you aware that its land mass is bigger than Europe, China, and the U.S. combined? Did you realize that about 2,000 languages are spoken by the people living there? I bring this up, Pisces, because from an astrological perspective it's an excellent time for you to fill the gaps in your education about Africa -- or any other subject about which you are deeply uninformed. Don't get overwhelmed by this assignment, though. Choose maybe three areas of ignorance that you will concentrate on in the coming weeks.


I would like to start this Uncorked

by saying a Happy Birthday (April 13th) to my adorable 8 year old Nephew Ben. Being an Uncle is easily my favourite and most rewarding job not only because it’s fun but also because of the influential role I can play in my nephews and my nieces’ lives. They look to me for guidance, humour and understanding and it’s a big job but I think I do okay. I am so thankful to have them in my life and I am thankful they grow up in communities like Wolfville where adults and social clubs care about the well being of the children within. Here’s a club and a program and an event worth noting.

Wolfville’s Mud Creek Rotary Club works countless hours to address issues of hunger and literacy in our area, placing a high priority on the health and mental well being of the youth in our local school systems. It saddened me to learn that children attending our public schools, including Wolfville School, for a variety of reasons would go without sufficient food during the run of a school day, were they not being provided meals at school. The Wolfville Public School offers a free, universal breakfast program daily. With the help of parent and community volunteers, along with student assistance, healthy and nutritious meals are provided to any student who arrives to school hungry- no questions asked. I know that without eating breakfast my energy level and concentration at work suffers so I make sure to eat something before starting my day. As well, throughout the day, snacks and lunches are provided at no cost to students who need it- whether for a day, a

month or longer depending on the situation. Healthy food and nutritional stability is essential for the growth and development of all students; but it is of particular importance to

those at-risk students who might not otherwise have wholesome food, including fresh fruits and veggies.

Funding for this and other programs comes from grants and many fundraising events held in the community. Last fall the members of the Mud Creek Rotary Club worked with the Wolfville School Community to raise over $5000.00 to ensure the essential service of healthy meals be provided to students in need. And now for an event that I hope you participate in: On Friday April 29th between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm at the Wolfville Lion’s Hall, Elm Ave. The Rotary Club, Wolfville Area Lions and Save Easy will be holding a BBQ chicken dinner with coffee and dessert with all proceeds supporting the Wolfville School Healthy Meal Program. Meals are $13 for adults and $8 for those less than 10 years of age. Tickets are available at the Wolfville Save Easy or contact Rob Porter at 542-4128. Great food and a great cause!

Visit the Mud Creek Rotarians website at www.mudcreekrotary.ca for details on events and the organization. For anyone interested in joining the Rotary Club, helping their membership grow and supporting the community email with questions to [email protected]. I wish to thank Rob Porter for bringing this great program to my attention and I wish the Rotary all the best in their endeavours.

I remember when I was a kid watching a movie with my

family. I don't remember the name of that movie, but what I do remember is there was a man stranded at sea. He was starving and dehydrated. I was confused, I mean, why is he thirsty with all that water around him? “Why doesn't he just drink the water?” I asked my mother. “Because it's salt water” she said. Well, I don't know what expression I had on my face but, clearly my mother felt the need to explain. “If you drink salt water it will only make you more thirsty”, I still didn't quite understand but what my mother says is obviously right.

When I began my career as a chef this phenomenon was clarified for me in the application of salt in cooking. Simply put, salt absorbs moisture. In that moisture is flavor. When added at the right time it can make the difference between a good meal and a great meal. As an apprentice I would be creating a dish and be adding this and adding that. By the end I had everything but the kitchen sink in a pot and wandering why it wasn't tasting good. My Chef would ask “Did you season it?” I learned to use salt and because of it I learned that more ingredients doesn't mean better. We can capture the natural flavors that all food has with salt and bring them to the plate.

In the Culinary world, salt is a flavor enhancer. However, iodized salt (table salt) is a flavor additive. Because of the iodine, we can't use this salt properly to enhance flavors of food, simply because we can't use enough. I see so often, people will get their food and the first thing they do before they

even taste it is grab the salt and pepper. My Dad does this, which is why when I cook for my parents I hide the salt shaker. Pepper? Sure I like pepper, but, salt should be added during the cooking process in order to maximize its potential.

I use a coarse sea salt at home because I like the texture of it on meat. It gives a nice crunch to the surface when seared, and I can control the amount I use better than if I used a fine grind. We use a fine grind sea salt at Paddy's, because of the wider variety of application it offers.

When seasoning meat, add it before cooking to allow the salt to pull moisture to the surface. The moisture is flavor and when you sear the meat this moisture will caramelize and enhance the flavor. When sautéing vegetables add your salt right away. As the vegetables soften a bit the salt will help lock the flavor in and allow it to caramelize. Feel free to experiment with different types of salt. Some work better with fish, some are better for meat. I think what you will come to learn is that there is no need to have that shaker full of the unmentionable, iodized salt.

Entering the Heart of the Lotus: Sacred Yoga, Belly Dance, &

Herbal Medicine for the HeartBy Angie "Oriana" Jenkins, Belly Dancing Herbalist

Carol Fellowes & I had so much fun planning, organizing, & teaching our last "Entering the Red Tent" workshop & we had such positive

feedback from our participants that we decided it's time for another! It's Spring & it's time to open your heart & prepare yourself for new relationships & connections that are inevitable during such an expansive season. In our last workshop we gave you yoga poses, belly dance moves, & herbal suggestions for nourishing the lower chakras. This time we will be moving on up to the Anahata (Heart) Chakra & working on releasing grief & heart-break, loving self & others, &, on a more physical level, nourishing the organs of the heart & the lungs. If you have health concerns in this area, this workshop would be perfect you. This workshop is also great if you feel you are healthy emotionally, physically, & spiritually but would like to prevent issues or simply maintain & improve your current condition. Our intention is to help you feel light-hearted & joyful & to give you tools to keep your heart balanced during trying times. In the morning, Carol will be starting us off with heart-opening poses. We will then break for lunch. Angie will then discuss herbs for the heart (think Roses, Hawthorn, Motherwort) & lead you through some fun belly dance moves focused in the upper body (think Shoulder Shimmies & Chest Circles). $100 Workshop Details: Sunday, May 15th, 10am - 3pm, Ocean Spirit Studio, 9840 Main St., Canning.

L ocation: T.A.N Coffee, Wolfville. Time: Any day of the week! The atmosphere

is pure hilarity. The conversations start on a high note and never go lower. Smiles, hugs, insults, laughs, advice, truths, and experi-ences are exchanged. We fluff out hair, coyly smile and separate. And when we part, I know my time has been well spent and I’ve come away improved and fulfilled. You’ve just read a description of the last three years of friend-ship I’ve had with Jonathan Stephanson.

Jonathan was born and raised in Calgary, moved to Wolfville three years ago after a year of studying at York University and he’s just finished his undergraduate degree in Sociology at Acadia... with graduation just around the corner! Acadia fell upon Jonathan by accident, as he was driving through the province on business. He peeked at a few universities but then stumbled across Wolfville and Acadia and instantly fell in love with the small, intimate feel of the town and the beautiful scenery and the welcoming residents. Coming from Calgary, Jonathan found Wolfville to be a positive and enjoyable culture shock as he wasn’t used to people waving as he walked down the street, remembering his orders at restaurants, running into familiar faces everywhere and instantly finding such a close knit group of friends (insert ME!) I generally hit it off with people, but Jonathan took a little work as we both possess very outgoing personalities and we knocked heads at first... five or six minutes later we knew it was all going to be okay. With his 6 foot 5 towering

frame staring down at my petite self, Jonathan finally had the half-brother he’d always wanted.

After majoring in Sociology with a focus on gender studies, future plans for my friend include applying for masters programs in social work, travelling and exploring ways he can help those who wish to be helped. Jonathan has interests in music, real estate,

and training, riding and travelling with horses as well as a deep love of studying society and how it functions and creates us. Jonathan says “Knowing yourself” is very important to him, as well as “living a life where

you don’t hurt yourself or the others around you”- these simple mantras have helped Jonathan and those he’s come into contact with excel and as he leaves Wolfville, these, and many other pieces of advice, will stick with me.

Location: He is somewhere and I am here. Time: Any chance we can! Through email, phone, or carrier pigeon, there will be laughs, smiles, advice, and experiences still shared. And when we are together again, I know the time will be well spent and the bond will not have faded. That’s the description of the many years of our friendship to come. Your Witches of Eastwick wish you safe and rewarding travels Jonathan. To our big friendly giant, our tall drink of soda water with lime, our smoky the bear... fluff hair, coyly smile, and exit...

*smooch*!~Mike Butler

Home renovations can be stressful at the best of times. A trip to a big orange box store with a lack of staff only proved more stressful. After an hour of looking for help and the parts myself, I never wanted to

return to this store again. Then I was off to fit the tub surround into the trunk of the car. Even with back seats down, I could not close the trunk. I could not find a bungee-cord anywhere. It was bad planning. I stood in the pouring rain contemplating my frustration when a voice from behind me said "Hey do you need a bungee-cord?"

A random act of kindness that came at the perfect time. ~Chris Jordan
