BARBARA CAIN

CentreStage Theatre is pleased to be presenting Barbara Cain on the Artist Wall during the run of “Jerry Finnegan’s Sister”. Barbara Cain paints in watercolors, oils and acrylics. Though her main focus was originally florals, she now paints seascapes as well as land- scapes.

Barbara started painting upon retirement from nursing, taking a few courses through the ALL program at Acadia. She has done several workshops, and last fall completed a three day course with renowned artist Gary Jenkins, in Sedona, Arizona. She identifies as a self-taught artist and is very passionate about painting. Her style in florals is strongly influenced by the chiaroscuro method of the old masters, a technique that utilizes strong contrasts between light and dark. Come and enjoy a delightful play and the talent of Barbara Cain. “Jerry Finnegan’s Sister” runs every Friday and Saturday during August with matinees on the Aug 10 and Aug 24. 8 August 7 – 21, 2014

“Not only is the Beaubassin region an ideal wetland region,” explains MacKinnon, “but it is also a place of historical significance.” This means that the research happening at the Beaubassin Field Station is trans-disciplinary. “We have research happening there in biology, environmental science, geology and history,” says MacKinnon.

Dr. Ian Spooner from the Department of Earth and Environmental Science is studying the lakes in the region to understand how natural changes, short term climate change, and Dr. Stephen Henderson human activity affect the lakes. Dr. Phil Taylor, of the Biology Department is conducting radar studies of bird migration as the region is part of a major migratory pathway for ducks, song- birds, and shorebirds.

MASS APPEAL Valley Summer Theatre finishes off its 2014 season with the Broadway hit Mass Appeal which will run at the Al Whittle Theatre until August 17.

Mass Appeal is the most produced play by prolific playwright Bill C. Davis. Written in 1980, it quickly became a Broadway success, garnering numerous Tony and Drama Desk Award nomina- tions including a Drama Desk nomination as Outstanding New Play. The play is a two character comedy-drama focusing on a complacent Roman Catholic pastor (Father Tim Farley) and the idealistic young deacon (Mark Dolson) who is assigned to his affluent suburban parish. While the play deals with issues facing the Catholic church in the early eighties (issues the church still faces today) its essence is a generational conflict that could apply to just about any workplace that might come to mind. Mass Appeal has been called “Delightful … thoughtful … vividly fun- ny” by the New York Post.

Mass Appeal stars Lee J. Campbell and Sean C. Robertson and was directed by Pamela Halstead. Tickets can be purchased at the Box of Delights Bookstore (466 Main Street in Wolfville); by calling 1-877-845-1341 toll free, or online at www.ticketpro.ca. 10 August 7 – 21, 2014

You know how modern teams like to give all the kids ribbons just for playing? Well, if only we could have done that at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market in the ‘Tastes of the Valley’ competition. Sadly, we could not, and on this one special day I was actually encouraged to be judgmental. Speaking of which, I’m not sure I have ever caused so much jealousy in so many people as when I went around telling (okay: bragging to) people that I’d been asked to be a Tastes Judge. I was practically jealous of myself.

Picture this: first you get up in the morning and run 16k. Then you show up, starving and ready to be pampered, and someone brings you taste after taste of deliciousness upon deliciousness and asks you to eat at least some of each. Heaven, I’m telling you, it was heaven.

We did crown two winners – one “Savoury” and one “Sweet”. Savoury was one of those times when simple wins by its absolute perfec- tion. Haddock Stew, seemingly lowly fare, was lovingly prepared by the good people of Frais Catering. Sometimes winners win because they have been so inventive and creatively complex.

FAMILY FUN IN THE VALLEY: G is for Golf – Mini Style

ini golf is a favourite activity for many Mchildren. We’ve gone to play mini golf with our boys from the age of four. They are never too young to start to learn the game. I recommend not keeping score for the first while, as you will be well over par each time!

There are several mini golf courses in the Valley. These are all listed on www.valleyfam- ilyfun.ca (Get Moving – Mini Golf). Some of the local courses include ones at Windsor Playland Park, Land of Evangeline Family Camping Resort, and the Look Off Camp- ground.

There are two other forms of mini golf to try too. One is Farmer’s Golf at Hennigar’s Farm Market in Greenwich. Developed in Holland, the ball is a small soccer-type ball and the club has a small wooden shoe on the end. It’s good for all ages and skill levels! In Lakeville (Kentville) you will find Tinker- 542-2711 Links Precision Scale Golf. This is the world’s smallest 18-hole natural turf golf course.
