Editor’s Update: not more than 3 hours after we sent the last issue to the printers, we received a response from the Town of Wolfville in regards to Mr. Wilsack’s waterfront raft (see below). As for Ms. Huskins, I’m sure there will be an update in an upcoming issue.

From Gregg Morrison:

The research I have done would indicate that the land is crown land (owned by the province), as it is below the normal high-water mark. The Provincial Department of Natural Resources would be the primary agency of control of the land on behalf of the Province. My information comes from Ms. Kim Huskins (679-6229) at the DNR office in Kentville.

MERMAID THEATRE OF NOVA SCOTIA’S PUPPET CABARET FUNDRAISERSaturday, November 2, at 7pm - Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia will hold its first-ever Puppet Cabaret Fundraiser on Saturday, November 2, 2013 from 7-10pm. The event will be held at the Mermaid Imperial Per-forming Arts Centre at 106 Gerrish Street in Windsor. Cocoa Pesto Catering will provide a wonderful selection of hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar will be available, and everyone will have the chance to bid on great auction items, including pieces from Mermaid’s talented creative team.

Guests will be treated to a lively revue performed by some of the most prominent citizens and business people in Windsor and West Hants. Bringing puppets to life on

stage will be Mermaid's "community pup-peteers," including Jennifer Daniels, Alex Jurgens, Laurie Murley, Jon Oulton, and Jeff Redden. Hosted on the MIPAC stage by Global TV’s Jill Chappell, this is definitely not Mermaid’s usual Theatre for Young Audiences fare!

The funds raised will support Mermaid's unique community outreach programs. Tickets are $60, which includes one free drink, and a tax receipt will be issued for a portion of the ticket price. Tickets are available at Mermaid’s office at 132 Gerrish Street, at Windsor Home Hardware, or at the Harvest Gallery on Main Street in Wolfville.

This year’s bazaar will feature jewellery (handmade here in Nova Scotia and fair-traded from India), books by Indian authors and on Indian topics (such as cooking and yoga), natural handmade soaps, henna art (mehndi) to decorate your hands and arms, Indian fabrics and fashions, Himalayan wool scarves, hand-block–printed meditation cards, art prints and greeting cards, as well as spicy chai—ready-made to drink at the bazaar and in tins to take home!

Step out of the cold and into the fragrant warmth of an Indian bazaar!

Linden Ave. is part of a larger project that also includes upgrades to: Summer St. and Chestnut Ave. Construction on Linden Ave. is nearing completion. All of the underground infrastructure – water, sanitary, and storm – was replaced and the street is being rebuild with new: gravels, asphalt, concrete curb, and concrete sidewalk on the east side. The sidewalk should be completed by the end of November. The contract is approximately two to three weeks behind schedule but the majority of work will be completed this year. The final lift of asphalt will be placed next year.

The avenue is 24 ft. wide from curb to curb which is a bit more narrow than it was but there will still be parking on one side. These changes (along with only one sidewalk) are being made in an effort to reduce our overall infrastructure and control our capital and ongoing maintenance costs.

uPdate on nILe: Still Available Nile is a Labrabull, which is a cross between a black Labra-dor Retriever and the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Nile is currently residing at the Kings SPCA shelter in Wa-terville. His indoor manners need a lot of work, but with the right person he has the potential to be a wonderful and devoted family dog. He is always happy to see people, and eagerly greets them in a high-intensity, hyper way. He loves giving kisses and lying on laps when someone is sitting, and he whines, cries and barks when he feels

he is not receiving enough undivided attention. Nile is well-socialized and keeps our other dogs at the shelter in shape by playing with them in our outdoor kennel. Unfortunately, in his previous life he did not receive much in the way of training, so he is difficult to walk as he pulls and tugs you along. Nile's boosters are up to date and he is neutered. If he sounds like the companion for you, please visit the NS SPCA Kings Branch in Waterville.

SEYMOUR

W e didn’t plan on moving to Wolfville. It was a semi-sponta-neous decision made so that we

could work in the field we both studied: archaeology. We chose this place because it seemed nice with a strong sense of com-munity. We cast a good-luck spell to get the apartment we loved. It worked! This was the first random act of kindness, bestowed upon us by ourselves. But that was over a year ago, and our archaeology contract has long since ended. We stayed here, though, because of all the other random acts of

kindness: the lady at Pete’s who practices her French with Alex; the market for allow-ing me to volunteer; the overall friendliness of this place. But mostly because of our neighbour Eric, who has become a won-derful friend and guide, and whom we will miss very much. Archaeology brought us here, but kindness kept us here longer than we planned on staying. Thanks, Wolfville. We will miss you!

Natalie and Alex

On Sundays when I was growing up in Little Ridge, New Brunswick, after church and a big roast beef or

chicken dinner, Mama would gather her children for the mile-long walk behind our house to the St. Croix River. This was family at its best: blessed, fed and relaxed after a busy week of hard work. Mama would tell us stories of our ancestors or tales about fairyland. We listened for birds, identified flowers, looked for bear tracks under the wild apple tree, and hoped we might even see a moose.

Years later, one of my sisters called to tell me of plans for the celebration of Mother’s 65th birthday. She wondered if I might bring my guitar and sing a song. I was always keen to sing, but the few songs I had written, I pretty much kept to myself. Putting down the phone I felt the conviction that I would write a song for her. With that thought, the lyrics to “A Walk to the River” came tumbling out, and I scrambled to write them down. When I picked up my guitar, the melody seemed like it had always been there. It was such a delicious feeling, writing that love song to my mother and family.

That day I was gifted with a song that would be a gift to my mother and family. I felt humbled, but oh, so lucky. I thought, I do this: I write songs. Twenty years later, I like nothing better than being seduced by the feeling that there is a song coming, and I marvel at the mystery of it all.

Stories from Valley musicians compiled by Mike AubéCalling all Valley performers and songwriters! I'm looking for your gig stories and stories-behind-the-song. If you have something to share, mail them, along with a high-resolution photo, to [email protected]. This week's installment is from Kimberly Matheson. She is a songwriter's songwriter, writing well-crafted folk songs and delivering them with a voice reminiscent of Joan Baez. She is preparing to release her sophomore album, Just As I Am.

ONE-ON-EARTH 2328 Black River Rd., (Lumsden Dam), 542-2723 / [email protected]

Designer Nancy Denton-Peck works with remnants and recyclables to design garments that are literally “one on the planet.” Her polar-fleece ponchos and hats fit well into this category, as polar fleece is 100% recy-cled plastic! At this year’s Acadia Craft Expo on Nov. 15- 17, she will be featuring ponchos and hats with hand-knit collars and cuffs, 10 of which are in Acadia colors (navy and red). No two are alike. Fleece teddy bears from remnants and a rack of little girls' "Scrapit" clothes will also be part of her booth (#78). ONE-ON-EARTH has been around for about eight years. “I began designing ladies' jackets out of scraps as a way to use up my accumulated remnants, and it has grown from there. It's really been a very diverse way for me to feed my creative appetite.”

As for Remembrance Day...although post WWII children cannot remember, we can con-sciously think about the ravages of war, the sacrifice paid by so many and be ever-grateful for the incredible gift we have been given in Canada. I have the freedom to make my dreams a reality, thanks to the generations that came before me.


Vigil for Harley We can all recognize certain events as being the moments that brought us into the so-called “real world.” These are the moments when we lost some of our naivety.

It’s a transition that can happen to more than just individuals. This week, our small farming town of Berwick, working sun-up to sun-down harvesting the apple, corn, and carrot crops before the leaves on the trees make way for another season, came of age.

Harley Lawrence, 62, a harmless and home-less soul known to the townsfolk as someone battling mental issues which made it difficult for him to accept even basic offers of a warm bed, gathered his few belongings in a bus shel-ter and lay down for the night. He will never know that he ushered our community into the kind of ugliness we usually hear about happening everywhere other than here.

Between 400 and 500 people attended the vigil on October 26. Among those present were some of Harley’s family, whom many of us learned about for the first time (he was

from the Hantsport area). There was a little rain that night. Hopefully it helped some folks understand what the homeless face day to day.

A passing friend, Wayne Dombroski

Editor’s update: At the time of press, details of the bus shelter fire and the investigation were not released.

MIKE Uncorked: learning to Curl: this sport rocks!!!

Sometimes the subjects I choose

to write about in this column put me into strange and unfamil-iar territory (anyone remember last year’s On Tree Park Ziplin-ing article?). Well, this past weekend I ventured down to the Wolfville Curling Club (it’s only a stone’s throw away). I took my first lesson ever on how to curl! Actually it was my first time IN that curling club, located at 22 Elm Avenue. It’s a beautiful and timeless facility equipped with an upstairs games room, fully operation-al kitchen and hall for special events. Down-stairs is the pièce de résistance, the four-sheet (lane) curling arena.

I am not very sportsy, as you can tell because I just used the word sportsy. I enjoy watching some sports on TV, like football or basketball or even golf, but I would never think to play these sports because I am not an aggressive or competitive person, so it was just never my thing to try out. And so, with writing these articles and trying new things, I decided to give curling a go and I have to say, it was a lot of fun! I only ever thought I could curl my hair, my lip, or up against someone for warmth, but I was mistaken.

I took part in one of three Learn to Curl sessions (the other two have passed but that doesn’t mean you still can’t join and have fun), and with the help of the curling-club gang—Gerry Watson, Tony Stirling, Tim Amos, and Fred Crouse—I was shown the very basic ins and outs of the game and taught all about how to score, position myself, throw the rock, how to be safe on the ice and how to hold my stick…. Stop giggling. I really didn’t know how to before this!

I’m one of those people who always says “Well it looks so easy on TV, of course I can do that.” Well, if I ever said it about curling, I was wrong: it’s not as easy as it looks on TV. But it is fun and I did do it, after practise

and understanding. I stepped out on that ice and thought, “Well this is the beginning of the End,” and I was right! HA HA!

First of all, thank you Gerry Watson, for your patience! Gerry was my prime instructor and it was straightforward

talk that was all about safety on the ice and making sure I was positioned as not to hurt myself or fall on my butt. This didn’t happen once! I learned about sliders, grippers, hacks, buttons, handles and more. I have never been so proud to make a clean sweep of the house! And have you ever passed a 44-pound stone? Well, I have, and I must say, I rocked the house! Now you can too!

The new curling season has started, and the curling club is looking for new members. There are different curling groups (ladies, seniors, skills night on Tuesdays and even a session for the kids called Little Rocks), and the commitment is minimal. Not only is curling a good source of exercise, but half the fun is the socializing with friends. And even though some of these groups started their season this past week, there is still plenty of time to get yourself in there and sign up.

All of the events can be found on the curling club’s website at www.wolfvillecurlingclub.ca. Click on the calendar link to see what’s coming up. You can get your membership form there too. The curling club now has a Facebook page, and the website has all the latest news, forms, newsletters and so on about the club. These past few weeks, a representative from the club has been present at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market trying to encourage others to join. It’s been very beneficial, but they needed my big mouth and the Grapevine exposure to spread the word. I hope you all take the time to consider it. If I can do it…. then trust me, you can HACK it too!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Once when I was hiking through Maui's rain forest, I spied a majestic purple honohono flower sprouting from a rotting log. As I bent down close, I inhaled the merged aromas of moldering wood and sweet floral fragrance. Let's make this scene your metaphor of the week, Aries. Here's why: A part of your life that is in the throes of decay can serve as host for a magnificent bloom. What has been lost to you may become the source of fertility. Halloween costume suggestion: a garbage man or cleaning maid wearing a crown of roses.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What don't you like? Get clear about that. What don't you want to do? Make definitive decisions. What kind of person do you not want to become and what life do you never want to live? Resolve those questions with as much certainty as possible. Write it all down, preferably in the form of a contract with yourself. Sign the contract. This document will be your sacred promise, a declaration of the boundaries you won't cross and the activities you won't waste your time on and the desires that aren't worthy of you. It will feed your freedom to know exactly what you like and what you want to accomplish and who you want to become. Halloween costume suggestion: the opposite of who you really are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you up for an experiment? Not just on Halloween, but for a week afterwards, be scarier than your fears. If an anxious thought pops into your mind, bare your teeth and growl, "Get out of here or I will rip you to shreds!" If a demon visits you in a nightly dream, chase after it with a torch and sword, screaming "Begone, foul spirit, or I will burn your mangy ass!" Don't tolerate bullying in any form, whether it comes from a critical little voice in your head or from supposedly nice people who are trying to guilt-trip you. "I am a brave conqueror who cannot be intimidated!" is what you could say, or "I am a monster of love and goodness who will defeat all threats to my integrity!"

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Are you ready to be amazed? Now would be an excellent time to shed your soul's infantile illusions . . . to play wildly with the greatest mystery you know . . . to accept gifts that enhance your freedom and refuse gifts that don't . . . to seek out a supernatural encounter that heals your chronic sadness . . . to consort and converse with sexy magical spirits from the future . . . to make love with the lights on and cry when you come. Halloween costume suggestion: the archetypal LOVER.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some people in your vicinity are smoldering and fuming. The air is heavy with emotional ferment. Conspiracy theories are ripening and rotting at the same time. Hidden agendas are seeping into conversations, and gossip is swirling like ghostly dust devils. Yet in the midst of this mayhem, an eerie calm possesses you. As everyone else struggles, you're poised and full of grace. To what do we owe this stability? I suspect it has to do with the fact that life is showing you how to feel at home in the world no matter what's happening around you. Keep

making yourself receptive to these teachings. Halloween costume suggestion: King or Queen of Relaxation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Unification should be a key theme for you in the coming weeks. Anything you do that promotes splicing and blending and harmonizing will get extra help, sometimes from mysterious forces working behind the scenes. The more you work to find common ground between opposing sides, the stronger you'll feel and the better you'll look. If you can manage to mend schisms and heal wounds, unexpected luck will flow into your life. To encourage these developments, consider these Halloween disguises: a roll of tape, a stick of Krazy Glue, a wound that's healing, a bridge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What do you think you'd be like if you were among the one-percent-wealthiest people on Earth? Would you demand that your government raise your taxes so you could contribute more to our collective well-being? Would you live simply and cheaply so you'd have more money to donate to charities and other worthy causes? This Halloween season, I suggest you play around with fantasies like that -- maybe even masquerade as an incredibly rich philanthropist who doles out cash and gifts everywhere you go. At the very least, imagine what it would be like if you had everything you needed and felt so grateful you shared your abundance freely.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What if you had the power to enchant and even bewitch people with your charisma? Would you wield your allure without mercy? Would you feel wicked delight in their attraction to you, even if you didn't plan to give them what they want? I suspect these questions aren't entirely rhetorical right now. You may have more mojo at your disposal than you realize. Speaking for your conscience, I will ask you not to desecrate your privilege. If you must manipulate people, do it for their benefit as well as yours. Use your raw magic responsibly. Halloween costume suggestion: a mesmerizing guru; an irresistible diva; a stage magician.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I had a dream that you were in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? You were like the character played by George Clooney after he escaped from a prison chain gang. Can you picture it? You were wearing a striped jailbird suit, and a ball and chain were still cuffed around your ankle. But you were sort of free, too. You were on the lam, making your way from adventure to adventure as you eluded those who would throw you back in the slammer. You were not yet in the clear, but you seemed to be en route to total emancipation. I think this dream is an apt metaphorical depiction of your actual life right now. Could you somehow use it in designing your Halloween costume?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I invite you to try the following exercise. Imagine the most powerful role you could realistically attain in the future. This is a position or niche or job that will authorize you to wield your influence to the max. It will give you the clout to shape the environments you share with other people. It

will allow you to freely express your important ideas and have them be treated seriously. Let your imagination run a little wild as you visualize the possibilities. Incorporate your visions into your Halloween costume.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the course of earning a living, I have worked four different jobs as a janitor and six as a dishwasher. On the brighter side, I have performed as a songwriter and lead singer for six rock bands and currently write a syndicated astrology column. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Aquarians are primed to cultivate a relationship with your work life that is more like my latter choices than the former. The next eight months will be a favorable time to ensure that you'll be doing your own personal equivalent of rock singer or astrology columnist well into the future. Halloween costume suggestion: your dream job.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Robert Louis Stevenson loved the work of poet Walt Whitman, recommending it with the same enthusiasm as he did Shakespeare's. Stevenson also regarded Whitman as an unruly force of nature, and in one famous passage, called him "a large shaggy dog, just unchained, scouring the beaches of the world and baying at the moon." Your assignment is to do your best imitation of a primal creature like Whitman. In fact, consider being him for Halloween. Maybe you could memorize passages from Whitman's Leaves of Grass and recite them at random moments. Here's one: "I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, / I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world."

Old Love can mean a chronological age or a remembrance of a time past—and sometimes it’s both! Although this play is romantic and clever, it’s definitely not sentimental. The story spans three decades and a handful of meetings. He was smitten from the first, and she—well, let’s just say “less so.” The witty dialogue of this dramatic comedy keeps you chuckling and is laugh-out-loud-funny as each discovers what is important in life and in love.

Written by Canada’s preeminent comic playwright Norm Foster, and directed by Candy O’Brien, this play will appeal to mature audiences. Due to language and subject matter, it is not recommended for children under 13. Cast members include Peter Booth, Carole Ball, Ansonia Gray, Tracy Churchill, and Geoff Ball.

Old Love plays on November 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 24m, 29, 30, December 6, 7, 8m, 13, 14. Showtime 8pm / 2pm matinee on November 24 and December 8. Tickets $15/$12 Call 678-8040 for reservations.

Who's Who-Brought to you by T.A.N. COFFEEwww.tancoffee.ca

The Who's WhoMark riley:The Man with the Bands!

This man has got me sing-

ing the blues and singing his praises! Ladies and gentleman, Mark Riley!

Mark Riley was born into a very musical family, just outside of Dartmouth, in Lake Loon. Mark’s dad, now almost 80, has been singing and playing guitar in church and gospel groups since he was a young man. Mark, along with his nine brothers and sisters, grew up singing in choirs, gospel groups, and family sing-songs. Those musical roots eventually took him and his talent to Toronto, where he played music with a few bands and was featured in a film for the Department of Education call Know Your Rights.

Mark returned to Nova Scotia and joined the EMCA–winning Nova Scotia Mass Choir as a soloist and a tenor. About seven years ago, Mark connected with the band Shoulder to Shoulder and filled in as a drummer. He sang one song with them, and the rest is history.

Mark formed the Mark Riley Band about six years ago, and even though he’s gone through various members, it still remains one of the busiest bands in the area. P.M. Blues is another one of Mark’s bands, playing primarily blues music. The 15-piece Blues-mobile was formed in 2012 as a project band with local musician Bernie Zinck. I have seen Bluesmobile put on a show, and it is really quite incredible, folks!

You can find information about all of Mark’s upcoming gigs on Facebook. Each group has its own page. And keep an eye out for The Mark Riley Band website, which will soon be released. A CD is also in the works. For now, here’s a little date to MARK on your calendars… Join Bluesmobile on Saturday, November 9, 9pm to 12am, at The Cornwallis Inn Ballroom. PLEASE NOTE this WILL be a licensed event! Tickets are $15 and are avail-able Long & McQuade in New Minas.

Music is not Mark’s only talent, though. He has also trained as both an electrician and an appliance-repair technician, and he ran his own business for many years. In the

past Mark has also coached and played basketball, as well as played and coached his childhood passion: hockey. These days, de-spite loving his time working with teams at Horton High, North East Kings, King’s

Minor and Valley East Basketball Associa-tion, it’s all about the music for Mark.

After making the move to Wolfville while his wife attended university here, Mark made the decision to concentrate on music on a full-time basis. He took employment with Long & McQuade, the go-to place for music supplies, and this allows him to feed his pas-sion for music and meet others in the music community of the valley.

Mark says, “Since I have been in the Valley, I have had many opportunities to perform in different settings and genres. The variety of talent and venues here is really great. From soft Jazz at the Blomidon Inn, to R&B at the Kings Arms Pub, to gospel at Acadia, it is all here! There are also festivals and celebra-tions, many of which I have been a part of in Nova Scotia including the Wharf Rat Bike Rally, Heart of the Valley, New Minas Days, Halifax Natal Day and Canada Day Celebra-tions to name a few.”

The road ahead is paved with many shows and concerts. Mark plans to continue with Shoulder to Shoulder and the Bluesmobile Band, as well as gospel events whenever pos-sible. Mark’s heart remains with the church and his faith, and he will always put those loves into his music. And in all of the talents, hobbies, and occupations I’ve mentioned, I almost forgot to mention the best job Mark has: being husband to wife Rev. Jennifer and father to his two beautiful daughters, Jas-min, 24, a fashion designer in Toronto and Olivia, 22, a nursing student at Dalhousie.

He is a father, husband, singer, musician, and so much more. He has truly left his MARK! Thank you!

SCORCHEDLast week I was invited to a preview of Scorched, to be presented by the Acadia Theatre Company November 13-16 and 20-23. I arrived at the end of a tiring day to a cold practice room in a dingy corner of the Beveridge Arts Centre. As it was just a rehearsal, there were no costumes and few signs of props. I was busy running over my long to-do list and, truthfully, wondering how early I could get out. Then the play started. Scorched plunges the audience into the middle of its storyline with the reading of Nawal’s will to her grown twin children. The moment notary Alphonse Lebel strode on stage, the children of his late client following behind, I was hooked. Janine and Simon, stone-faced and furious respectively in this opening scene, learn it is their mother’s final wish that they return to her homeland and search out their father and brother. Grad-ually, the siblings set out separately to reconstruct their history. The play flashes backwards and forwards as we follow their harrowing journeys, the physical settings of civil war, prison, a theatre, hospital and International Criminal Tribunal doubling as the thematic sites of loss, revenge, tragedy and redemption. As I walked slowly home from this play, I knew my two hours should have been spent nowhere else. The performance of this small company had radically awak-ened me to the significance of identity and heritage on a personal, local, and global level. Through outstanding acting from major and minor characters alike, along with a gripping narrative, Scorched stirred me and silenced me, provoked me and changed me. I urge you to let it do the same for you.

ACADIA PERFORMING ARTS SERIES PRESENTS THE AMSTEL SAXOPHONE QUARTET - Saturday, November 9The Acadia Performing Arts Series presents the Amstel Saxophone Quartet on Saturday, November 9 at 7:30pm at the Festival Theatre, 504 Main Street at Acadia University in Wolfville. Along with music by Bach, Brahms, Ravel and Mozart, the quartet will play contemporary pieces by several 20th-century composers, all arranged or even written for this dynamic ensemble. The Amstel Quartet’s programmes are always surprising, uplifting, educational, innovative and swinging. Of course, the saxophone is a young instrument and the saxophone quartet is mainly an ensemble of the 20th and 21st centuries, but Bach would take his hat off to the Amstel Quartet if he heard them play his work. Their résumé includes performances in beautiful halls such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Philharmonie in Luxemburg, and Carnegie Hall in New York, and extensive tours through Europe, Russia, the Middle East, China, Japan and the United States.

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 Amstel Quartet changes even the simplest work into a breathtaking diamond.”

WE LOVE WOLFVILLEWe all chose to come to Acadia University for different reasons. Intricately connected with this university is the surrounding town, Wolfville, our new home for 4-ish years. We come to associate Acadia so closely with Wolfville, and vice versa, that it's hard to speak of what we love about one without ref-erencing the other. I asked a few of my fellow students what they loved about Wolfville specifically, and the responses, quite frankly, didn't surprise me. We love it here!

Sergio Garrido Yunes, a fourth-year business major from Guatemala, says, “Wolfville was my first impression of what Canada looks

like but I've got to say—I love this place like no other!” Part of what makes this place so special is the diversity of both students and permanent residents and how we share our cultures together.

Madison Doglio, a third-year math major from Seattle and more recently Toronto, says: “I love Wolfville mostly because of the amazing environment, on and off campus.” When asked about her favourite place in Wolfville, she replied, “I love Just Us! I think it represents Wolfville the best. It's a cute community centre, where everyone (custom-ers and baristas) is welcoming, warm, and friendly.” Madison admits that the best-kept secret of Wolfville is the Woodland Trails off Westwood, “So beautiful and calming—a

great place to get away from stress without going far.”

Bryn Huycke is a first-year business student at Acadia hailing from Collingwood, Ontar-io. She says, “Acadia is a little treasure of a university that so many people don't think about enough. I know that in school in On-tario, when I told people I was coming here, people said ‘Acadia? Why would you choose little Acadia?’ Even being in first-year, so many people have given me opportunities you wouldn't get at a big school. Wolfville of all places is the cherry on the cake.”

Adam Foster from Moncton is in his second year of his Master’s degree in Social and Political Thought. He says he loves how

Wolfville is a small, friendly and welcoming community yet is also very much full of culture.

Personally, I love Wolfville because it re-minds me of my hometown, Chester. People come together to celebrate, to have fun, but also to look out for each other and care for one another. I love the focus on local food and being a strong, vibrant, caring, ethical community.

It's amazing that we spend several years of our young adulthood in this wonderful place. We may leave Wolfville never to return but it will always remain in our hearts.

Lindsay Doucet

Acadia University President and Vice-Chan-cellor Ray Ivany recently announced the dedication of “The Raddall Wing” in the University’s Biology Building, in recognition of Dr. Thomas Raddall, Class of 1957. Dr. Raddall’s $1 million gift to establish The Raddall Research Fund in Biology is among the largest made by an individual to Acadia and will greatly enhance student and faculty research in the life sciences.

Dr. Randall graduated from Acadia in 1957 with a bachelor of science before earning a D.D.S. degree from Dalhousie University in 1961. He returned to his hometown of Liverpool, N.S., where he established a successful dental practice and dedicated himself to community and professional service. Throughout his career, he remained a strong and loyal supporter of Acadia and its students. Previous gifts to Acadia were named for his mother, Edith Freeman Radd-all, and father, renowned writer Thomas H. Raddall. In 2001, Dr. Raddall joined Aca-dia’s Board of Governors, where he served until 2013. His genuine interest in students was recognized by the Acadia Students’ Union in 2004 when it chose Dr. Raddall to be the first recipient of its Governor of the Year award.

The Raddall Research Fund in Biology will

be used by the department to support pur-chases of equipment for use by faculty and students. The fund will also finance student research projects and allow for increased participation in scientific conferences beginning in the 2013-’14 academic year. This most recent gift from Dr. Raddall is in addition to scholarships and awards he had already established to support students and faculty in the sciences and the arts.

“Student excellence is a tenet of an Acadia education and I am pleased and privileged to be able to give back to a university that has given me and my classmates so much,” said Dr. Raddall. “I had a first-class educa-tion and made lifelong friends during my time on campus. It is heartening to know that what I experienced still exists today, and that I can contribute to Acadia’s tradi-tion of excellence.”

“Tom Raddall is a role model for our students,” says Dr. Tom Herman, Acadia’s Vice-President, Academic, “many of whom will follow in his footsteps to pursue a pro-fessional career. He is also a role model as a philanthropist—as someone committed to giving back to the community.”

Dr. Herman described Dr. Raddall’s keen interest in environmental effects on our

coastline, and his desire to keep our coastal waters clean and healthy. “Having his name attached to our Biology Building and con-nected to our students’ research is a natural fit,” Dr. Herman said.

The Biology Building (2008) is Acadia’s newest academic building on campus and was created with the environment and an enhanced teaching atmosphere in mind. The building is designed to meet Gold Level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) standards set by the Cana-da Green Building Council—a first for aca-demic science buildings in Atlantic Canada.

Dr. Tom Raddall says Thanks a Million to Acadia
