EDITOR'S UPDATE Leaving town every so often is incredibly healthy. I recently returned from 35+ days away and I feel so energized. As I worked on the Grapevine from afar, my good buddy respectfully questioned if I knew my five-year plan. Man, I hate that question, but I'm glad he asked.As I've been mulling over my response, I've come to the conclusion that, in five years from now, I want the best possible scenario for myself. You know, all the ide-
al dreams and outcomes that would ensure maximum happiness. I don't think that's selfish, in fact, we could all be striving towards our best futures. I like to think that's already happening, but it's so easy to lose sight of these goals if we don't revisit, let alone establish, them. Join me in writing down your response, let's make great steps in 2014!
And with that in mind, I do believe this will be our very last 16-page Grapevine. Slow and steady...see you in two weeks.

Our first photo challenge winner was Heather Alexa Ross, who won a bag of freshly roasted coffee beans from North Mountain Coffee, plus an original letterpress poster, designed and printed by Laura MacDonald.
Heather Alexa's stunning photo not only showed us a common view of our Valley in a new light (literally), it also had a huge online response.
This photo had everyone taking a closer look. The ethereal light, the snow-covered striped rows on the local farmland, and the storm rolling in across the bay all combine to make this photo truly striking and stand out to us as the contest winner.

I blew out a tire in a pothole just off the #12 coming back from my sister's cottage two years ago. I was loaded with gear, a
four-year-old, and a dog. I had no idea how to change the tire, but before I even finished unloading the trunk to look for the spare, a couple from Kentville pulled over. The
man helped me retrieve the spare, and then proceeded to change the tire and reload my trunk for me. I was back on the road within 20 minutes of the blow-out. It was fantastic. Thank you, kind strangers!

COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEART he Coldest
Night of the Year is a fun, family-friendly walking fund-raiser that raises money for the hungry, homeless and hurting in 64 communities across Canada on Saturday, Feb-ruary 22. In the Annapolis Valley, partic-ipants will raise money for the Open Arms Resource Centre.
The Coldest Night of the Year-Annapolis Valley is proving to again be a terrific fundraising and aware-ness event and something you may want to consider being involved with. At this point, we have a 16% increase in the number of teams registered, a 22% increase in walkers & participants, and a 10% increase in dona-tions over last year! Many people think there are lots of options for people who are homeless or in crisis, but there are not. Open Arms is the only agency providing emergency shelter and crisis assis-tance in the Annapolis Valley. With the help and participation of the community, Open Arms is able to continue this important work. While the local donations we receive from individuals, churches and church groups, and local businesses throughout the year will undoubtedly remain our financial base, our needs and the services we offer
are growing. We intend to continue providing emergency shelter and to grow in assisting and providing affordable housing for people at risk. The best-case sce-nario is that you be-come Team Captain and launch a group from your own place
of business, church, school, or other agency. In some cases that may not be possi-ble, but if being a walker in Coldest Night of the Year is something you could do, feel free to join my team,
"Shivering Stragglers".
You are welcome to join or donate to my team—or you may recognize others you know and would like to join or support. If you take the time to check out the website for this nationwide event, you will see that “Coldest Night of the Year-Annapolis Valley” currently has the most teams, walkers and monies raised out of more than 60 cities and larger towns across Canada!

il dolce far niente espresso bar16 Elm St., Wolfville542.5307
So, here it is folks, I’m going to admit it: I’m officially crazy about theatre. I know, big shock—but I’ve never felt more crazy about theatre than I have these past few weeks because I have not one, nor even two, but THREE different performances within a week of each other. Again, I know: it’s a lot to do, but I just can’t help it.
This article is actually being published smack in the middle of the run of Lauren’s Vale, the latest play I’m doing for local actress-writer-director Kerri Leier. Lauren’s Vale opened on February 5 and it will be stellar! You still have a few chances to see this exceptional cast at work. This is my sixth production with Edalene Theatre (Wedding Singer, Jump, Rent, Little Shop of Horrors). It’s always such a rewarding experience working with this troupe. Back in December 2009, I performed in Kerri’s original work Brand New Year, and that play jump-started my career in community theatre. Now I get to be a part of Lauren’s Vale with a role written for me.
Lauren’s Vale is set on the off-shore Maritime island of Donovan. The way of life there is threatened when a developer sees a way to make some money by building a resort. The fact that this will drastically change the world of all its inhabitants spurs some of them into action (and song! And dance!). The issues involved include fishing rights, risks to local business, the closing of the island school, and destruction of Lauren’s Vale, the island’s forest reserve, which is not only an ecological treasure but the emotional centre of some of the characters’ lives. There are laughs, romance, turmoil and more. This is a show that will be enjoyed by all ages. The show includes original music by Kerri’s long-time collaborator and my first cousin, Melissa Vidito, and choreography by Alexa Ewert of Rhythm and Sole Dance Studio. Lauren’s Vale plays February 5-8 at the Al Whittle Theatre. Showtimes are 7:30pm and there’s a matinee on Feb. 8 at 2:30pm. Call 697-2515 to reserve tickets.
Now… this is where it gets really nuts!
On February 13, the day after my 35th birthday, I am participating in two local productions. The first, starting at 7pm at the Al Whittle Theatre, is a unique storytelling experience called PechaKucha. I had never heard of this, but WOW, I was hooked within minutes and I can’t wait to be a part of it. PechaKucha is a simple presentation format where you show 20
images (on the screen behind the speaker) for 20 seconds each, while a local community member tells a narrative to accompany them. This sounded daunting at first, and I am still a bit nervous, but what a neat way to tell a story.
The theme of the Wolfville PechaKucha storytelling is "All You Need Is LOVE." There will be
creative narratives shared by storytellers from various walks of life in and around our community, sharing their stories on anything connected to love—what it means from their personal lens on life. You may laugh or cry, or both, but you will surely be inspired and entertained.
Visit the pechakucha.org/cities/wolfville website for more details. Tickets are available at Box of Delights on Main Street. Get your ticket, as this event will sell out! Tickets are $4 for students and $6 for adults, and there are only 160 seats available.
And just when you thought it was safe to go to the Manning Chapel at Acadia University on the 13th of February at 7:30pm … you were mistaken! MUHAHAHAHA!!! The same night I am performing at PechaKucha, I am also ghosting it up a few paces away at the chapel for the Spooky Sampling Show of the Valley Ghost Walks. I have been a part of the Ghost Walks for seven years now and it just keeps growing and growing, with shows now in Windsor and Halls Harbour, as well as the Kentville and Wolfville walks. This special presentation at the Chapel will feature historical ghosts from the four walking tours so that the audience gets a little taste of what the upcoming season has to offer.
There’s usually a wide range of creepy, funny, and poignant characters who rise up for these events, and you won’t be disappointed. This show is a partial fundraiser for the Randall House Museum. It is family friendly and loads of ghoulish fun! Visit valleyghostwalks.com for more information. The last Manning Chapel show was an unbelievable experience because the atmosphere is vast and spooky and perfect for storytelling. Prepurchase via Ticketpro.ca or reserve at: [email protected]. Do I stand a GHOST of a chance making it from one venue to another in time??? You’ll have to see!
Enjoy the shows and thank you for supporting local theatre!

THE KENTVILLE FARMERS MARKET AND COMMUNITY GARDEN SOCIETY
A community garden is a shared space where people gather together to grow plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables. It provides families with the opportunity to grow fresh, healthy, low-cost food, and encourages children to build self-confidence by allowing them to take part in
growing their own food.
The Kentville Farmers Market and Community Garden Society is committed to establishing a community garden in Kentville. If you are interested in helping bring the educational, envi-ronmental, social and health benefits that a community garden can grow, we’re interested in working with you.
Please contact Tim Connolly at [email protected] or visit our Facebook group (Kentville Community Garden).
The Grapevine6 February 6 – 20, 2014
ARIES (March 21-April 19): "You know it's Saturday when you are wiping off vodka stains from your face with a marshmallow," testifies the woman who writes the Tumblr blog "French Fries Absinthe Milkshakes." I really hope you don't even come close to having an experience like that this week, Aries. But I'm worried that you will. I sense that you're becoming allergic to caution. You may be subconsciously wishing to shed all decorum and renounce self-control. To be clear, there's nothing inherently wrong with relaxing your guard. I hope you will indeed give up some of your high-stress vigilance and surrender a bit to life's sweet chaos. Just please try to find a playful and safe and not-too-insane way to do so.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What is the single best thing you could do to fulfill your number one desire? Is there a skill you should attain? A subject you should study? A special kind of experience you should seek or a shift in perspective you should initiate? This is a big opportunity, Taurus. You have an excellent chance to identify the specific action you could take that will lead you to the next stage of your evolution. And if you do manage to figure out exactly what needs to be done, start doing it!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When songwriters make a "slant rhyme," the words they use don't really rhyme, but they sound close enough alike to mimic a rhyme. An example occurs in "The Bad Touch," a tune by the Bloodhound Gang: "You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals / So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel." Technically, "mammals" doesn't rhyme with "channel." I suspect that in the coming week you will have experiences with metaphorical resemblances to slant rhymes. But as long you don't fuss and fret about the inexactness you encounter, as long as you don't demand that everything be precise and cleaned-up, you will be entertained and ecuated. Vow to see the so-called imperfections as soulful.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): "Almost," writes novelist Joan Bauer. "It’s a big word for me. I feel it everywhere. Almost home. Almost happy. Almost changed. Almost, but not quite. Not yet. Soon, maybe." I'm sure you know about that feeing yourself, Cancerian. Sometimes it has seemed like your entire life is composed of thousands of small almosts that add up to one gigantic almost. But I have good news: There is an excellent chance that in the next 14 to 16 weeks you will graduate from the endless and omnipresent almost; you will rise up and snatch a bold measure of completeness from out of the ever-shifting flow. And it all kicks into high gear now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One of the chapter titles in my most recent book is this: "Ever since I learned to see three sides to every story, I'm finding much better stories." I'm recommending that you find a way to use this perspective as your own in the coming
weeks, Leo. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it's crucial that you not get stuck in an oppositional mode. It would be both wrong and debilitating to believe that you must choose between one of two conflicting options. With that in mind, I will introduce you to a word you may not know: "trilemma." It transcends a mere dilemma because it contains a third alternative.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1984, Don Henley's song "The Boys of Summer" reached the top of the Billboard charts. "Out on the road today / I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac," Henley sings wistfully near the end of the tune. He's dismayed by the sight of the Grateful Dead's logo, an ultimate hippie symbol, displayed on a luxury car driven by snooty rich kids. Almost 20 years later, the band The Ataris covered "The Boys of Summer," but changed the lyric to "Out on the road today / I saw a Black Flag sticker on a Cadillac." It conveyed the same mournful contempt, but this time invoking the iconic punk band Black Flag. I offer this tale to you, Virgo, as an encouragement to update the way you think about your life's mythic quest . . . to modernize your old storylines . . . to refresh and refurbish the references you invoke to tell people about who you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Food aficionado Michael Pollan says that Americans "worry more about food and derive less pleasure from eating" than people in other countries. If you ask them what their association is with "chocolate cake," they typically say "guilt." By contrast, the French are likely to respond to the same question with "celebration." From an astrological perspective, I think it's appropriate for you to be more like the French than the Americans in the coming weeks -- not just in your attitude toward delicious desserts, but in regards to every opportunity for pleasure. This is one of those times when you have a license to guiltlessly explore the heights and depths of bliss.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the Inuktitut language spoken among the Eastern Canadian Inuit, the word for "simplicity" is katujjiqatigiittiarnirlu. This amusing fact reminds me of a certain situation in your life. Your quest to get back to basics and reconnect with your core sources is turning out to be rather complicated. If you hope to invoke all of the pure, humble clarity you need, you will have to call on some sophisticated and ingenious magic.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree?" asked environmentalist Edward Abbey. His answer: "The purpose of the giant sequoia tree
is to provide shade for the tiny titmouse." I suggest you meditate on all the ways you can apply that wisdom as a metaphor to your own issues. For example: What monumental part of your own life might be of service to a small, fragile part? What major accomplishment of yours can provide strength and protection to a ripening potential that's underappreciated by others?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): "To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves," wrote the poet Federico García Lorca. I urge you to make sure you are not inflicting that abuse on yourself in the coming weeks, Capricorn. It's always dangerous to be out of touch with or secretive about your holy passions, but it's especially risky these days. I'm not necessarily saying you should rent a megaphone and shout news of your yearnings in the crowded streets. In fact, it's better if you are discriminating about whom you tell. The most important thing is to not be hiding anything from yourself about what moves you the most.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Back in 2002, three young men launched Youtube, in part motivated by a banal desire. They were frustrated because they couldn't find online videos of the notorious incident that occurred during the Superbowl halftime show, when Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction exposed her breast. In response, they created the now-famous website that allows people to share videos. I foresee the possibility of a comparable sequence for you, Aquarius. A seemingly superficial wish or trivial interest could inspire you to come up with a fine new addition to your world. Pay attention to your whimsical notions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil." That's what 20th-century author Truman Capote said about his own writing process. Back in that primitive pre-computer era, he scrawled his words on paper with a pencil and later edited out the extraneous stuff by applying scissors to the manuscript. Judging from your current astrological omens, Pisces, I surmise you're in a phase that needs the power of the scissors more than the power of the pencil. What you cut away will markedly enhance the long-term beauty and value of the creation you're working on.

T he Acadia Performing Arts Series presents Diomira on Sunday, February 16, at 7:30 at the Festival Theatre, 504 Main Street at Acadia University in Wolfville. The concert is a Debut Atlantic presentation.
Performing works composed by their founder Dinuk Wijeratne, Diomi-ra's music explores his hugely diverse cultural influences, from Persian poetry to the sensuality of flamenco and the intricate rhythms of the Indian classical tradition. The “soul” of the Diomira's unique sound is the ac-cordion of Joseph Petric, the interna-tionally renowned recording artist hailed as “an extraordinary performer” by the Boston Globe. Petric toured with Debut Atlantic for the first time in 1990. He returns this year with Diomira as the Encore tour. World percussionist Nick Halley is a fiery talent who moves effortlessly among the major drumming traditions. Sri Lank-an-born Dinuk Wijeratne leads the group with his striking compositions and remark-able invention at the piano. In advance of their Debut Atlantic tour, Diomira reached out to local young creators and composers to collaborate on an original piece for the ensemble. Entitled “Sonic As-sembly!”, one work is planned to be featured at each concert, bringing a unique element to each performance. In addition to the roster of concerts, Diomi-ra will be working with music students from grade primary through to the post-second-ary level including a videoconference session with Newfoundland’s Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation (CDLI). The webcast will take place at 11:30am Atlantic Standard Time on Tuesday, February 18. The session can be viewed live at: delts.mun.ca/portal/live.php 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 542-5500 or 1-800-542-TICK(8425), or online at boxoffice.acadiau.ca.

The Kickin’ Mule Blues Band was formed in 2010 and currently consists of Brian Chipman on vocals and harmonica, Dar-cy Smith on bass guitar, Jason Burns on lead guitar, Bob Federer on keyboards, and Richard “Ricco” Berthiaume on drums. The original band emerged from an informal North Mountain jam session with the first live performance taking place at The Old Orchard Heritage Barn (a venue they continue to play)
in October of 2010. Their sound is spawned from the postwar electric blues era, and features the music of heroes of the day such as Muddy Waters and Jimmy Rogers. Generally they love the songs they play and honour the history behind them. Hopefully that is also reflected in their performance. Essentially they are a dance band that likes to infuse their audience with the same good feel-ing that comes from playing this great music.
I t was December 2009 and I had this teeny tiny little part in a play called Brand
New Year, directed by Kerri Leier. I was called in about two weeks before the show opened to fill in for someone, and I was terrified. I hadn’t been on stage in over 10 years, and the talented people at rehearsal were so intimidat-ing I wanted to turn around and walk out of the room. The troupe was great to work with, but one adult in particular graciously wel-comed me and made me feel right at home. I didn’t realize at the time that he was taking the spot of someone else too, and he was just as terrified. His name is Doug Lutz. Doug is originally from Regina. He wanted to be a lawyer from a fairly young age and actually started practicing when he was 23. He says he was lucky to have found his way into the practice of law because he wasn’t particularly good at any other trades. All I can say is that I’m glad Doug’s a lawyer, because I wouldn’t be good at it, so someone else has to do it. Thanks, Doug! He was educated at the University of Sas-katchewan and practiced in Alberta for 20 years before making the move to Wolfville with his wife Kathy Menko and their daugh-ter Rachel. They have called Wolfville home since 1997. After traveling to work in Kentville by bus for the past two years, Doug has decided to take the plunge and open his own law office in Wolfville. Although Doug will miss the wealth of friends he’s made on the Kings Transit (he’s known as the only man in a tie on the bus), he felt the move to Wolfville was necessary to further his practice. You can find Douglas Lutz’s office at 260 Main Street. Call 697-3013 or email [email protected] if you have any questions for Doug. His job entails representing clients who are involved in disputes or lawsuits: personal injuries, motor-vehicle accidents, insur-ance, wrongful dismissal, corporate issues, defamation, construction and builders’ liens. Doug has also represented clients in munici-pal law matters, professional negligence and what we call “public law,” which is disputes involving government bodies, regulatory authorities, school boards, etc. Doug be-lieves that people often only require a small amount of legal advice and guidance or even a second opinion in order to get on with
their lives without incurring huge legal bills. All that sounds very official, doesn’t it? Well, Doug does have other hobbies outside of the courthouse. He enjoys cooking, toiling away in his outsized garden, and support-ing his wife with her work with the Wolfville and Area
Food Bank. He also enjoys acting as sherpa when he hits the walking trails with Kathy and Rachel. Before the ladies took over his life, Doug enjoyed a bout of world travel, vis-iting Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, China and Israel, among other places. When asked about returning to the stage in any upcom-ing musical or dramatic presentations, Doug went ghost-white and simply said, “Never again. It almost killed me.” I don’t think he was acting when he said that! On living in Wolfville, Doug says, “It is a lovely town with amenities that you would usually only find in a city. As a place to practise law, it is significantly different from a large practice in a large metropolitan area, but after 17 years, I have a much better understanding of people’s needs and how I can assist them.” Doug was a great source of information about himself, but it wasn’t enough, so I had to secretly email his daughter Rachel for some dirt. She mentioned some fun facts about Doug, including that he stopped playing the piano when he was 12 to take up the bagpipes (insert “lawyer + a lot of hot air” joke here!). He has run marathons and played rugby, and he’s known for getting into his car in his good work suit (would that be his law-suit?) and driving away blasting Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Who and The Doors. Put your hands together for the rock `n` roll lawyer! (Crowd goes wild!) Who says lawyers aren’t interesting? Well, not this writer. I want to wish Doug all the best on his new adventure. And on a personal note, I am getting ready to perform in my 30th play since that first terrifying production back in 2009 and I want to thank Doug for helping out so much. It’s not easy to do community theatre if you’re thrown into it. Doug did a terrific job with the show and being one of the many things that has motivated me to continue with theatre. If a lawyer can do it, I can! Happy courting, Doug! ~Mike Butler
The Grapevine10 February 6 – 20, 2014
Recipe This recipe was originally developed to be a play on classic vichyssoise, which is traditionally served cold. While making an ideal addition to a late summer meal, it is equally at home served warm during the colder fall and winter months.
Ingredients;• 4 cobs corn• 2 lbs mussels• 1 tbsp canola oil• 2 tbsp butter• 1 leek, white part only, sliced
thin• ½ c. shallots, diced• 1 c. fennel, diced• 2 c. celery root, diced• ½ c. dry white wine• 1 c. Yukon gold potato, diced• 1 c. chicken stock• 2 c. fish stock• 1 c. heavy cream• 1 bay leaf• 3 sprigs fresh thyme• Zest from 1 lemon• Tabasco sauce to taste• Salt• Smoked paprika• Extra-virgin olive oil
Method:Grilled corn:Remove husks from 2 of the corn-cobs. Apply a small amount of oil to each cob and season with salt and pepper. Grill cobs on a very hot grill.Remove when the cobs have become grill marked and the kernels have softened.
Allow the cobs to cool. Then, using a knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs. Reserve grilled corn for chowder.
Corn Milk:Remove husks from 2 of the corn-cobs. Using a knife, carefully cut the kernels from the cobs.Transfer the kernels to a blender and blend on high speed until bro-ken down, adding small amounts of water if necessary to help purée the kernels.
Remove from the blender and strain through a fine-mesh strain-er, pushing on the solids to extract the corn milk. Reserve corn milk for chowder.
Smoked mussels:Heat BBQ grill on high. Place wood chips in a disposable pie pan and wet slightly with water.Place on hot grill to begin to smoke. This may take anywhere from 2-8 minutes.
Carefully wash and sort mussels, discarding the ones that are open or damaged. Place mussels in a large disposable lasagna pan and place on grill beside the smoking wood chips. Close the lid of the BBQ and smoke for 5 minutes.Quickly lift the lid and give the mussels a stir. Close the lid and smoke for another 5 minutes. The
mussels should have opened at this point. If not, smoke for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from grill and allow to cool. Remove mussels from pan and reserve the cooking liquid, straining through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any grit from the mussels.
Chowder broth:In a large pot, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add shallots, fennel, leek, and celery root.Sweat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add white wine, scraping up any bits that may have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce until almost dry.
Add diced potato, chicken stock, fish stock, heavy cream, corn milk, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil
and reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until potato and celery root are very soft, stirring occa-sionally. Remove pan from heat and remove bay leaf and thyme. Stir in lemon zest and reserved cooking liquid from the smoked mussels.
Working in batches, transfer to a blender and purée until smooth.Season with salt and Tabasco sauce.
To serve:Gently heat the chowder broth, grilled corn, and mussels over me-dium heat. Ladle the chowder into the serving bowl, evenly distribut-ing the corn and smoked mussels. Garnish with smoked paprika and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Serves 8-10.
