WHO’S WHO: RAY SAVAGE – THE EXCELR8R Mike Butler

I love writing this column…I get to meet, interact, and then profile wonderful members of our community. I’ve had the pleasure of pro- filing authors, painters, teachers, actors, chefs, business owners, and many more. I usually fly by the seat of my pants to find subjects but lately, the fine folks featured in this column have come from strong recommendations, and that is how Ray Savage surfaced. Ray has an immeasurable history of involvement in his community and I’m so pleased to profile him.

Ray Savage was born and raised in New Brunswick. He currently lives in Aylesford with his partner Val Ward, and his springer spaniel Finnegan. After Ray’s first visit to the Valley in the mid 1980’s, driving through a snowstorm in mid-March, he arrived in our beautiful area. The sky was blue with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground (about 4’ deep) worked with small to medium enterprises in and the tulips were poking up above the snow. various facets of their business. One of the Ray was so amazed with all of this that he said biggest thrills of his business is seeing the to himself, “I’m going to live here one day”. tangible results the clients achieve in not only About three years later, Ray made the move their businesses, but also in their personal to the Valley, and he hasn’t looked back. He lives.

As we gear up for Fall storytime season, music comes to mind. After all, what would storytime be without music? Of course we share lots of books at storytime, but we also love our songs and rhymes. We know that kids love music, that we humans enjoy a good sing-along. We start with the babies — Windsor and Wolfville offer Babies & Books storytimes, and in Berwick, storytime starts with toddlers. Tuesdays in Wolfville means Book in the Nook, with stories and songs, often with Troubador Lisa playing guitar. Fun & Fables storytime in Windsor is a staple with the preschool set. Annapolis Royal has storytimes on Monday morning. Port Williams, Kingston, and Hantsport all have storytimes beginning this Fall. Check in with your local library to see who is singing up a storytime. And for a fun musical time at home with the kids, check out the YouTube playlists from BC librarians jbrary.com.

We don’t stop with storytime, though. In Bridgetown, our B.U.G. (or Bridgetown Ukulele Group) meets once a month. Join them on September 12 for a few tunes — there are even loaner ukes for the night. Our Windsor branch hosts a Third Thursday social each month. Stop by on September 15 for local easy-listening entertainment, coffee, and light refreshments. In Wolfville, the Patio Concert series has been going strong all summer. This month we feature Deep Roots artists Susan Crowe and Cindy Church on the patio from Noon to 1pm on September 23. Music lovers of all ages are invited to come see us at the library!
