2 The GrapevineJuly 8 - July 22, 2010The ROSCOE FILLMORE PICNICParliament isn’t in session thesedays, but there’s lots of politicalactivity happening. In fact, the waythings are going, with the regularprorogation of Parliament wheneverthe going gets tough, omnibusbills that pack all & sundry intothem, and the various impedimentsto democratic process that keeparising, I expect we’ll see a lot morepolitical activity in the near future.The times remind me of the 1930sto a degree: collapsing financialmarkets, global political instability,and great uncertainty dampeningthe air. But the comparison stopsthere as the ‘Dirty Thirties’ werea unique period, with terribledrought & depression, and theabundance that surrounds us thesedays has no bearing whatsoever onthose trying times of long ago.A lot of the social programsthat most Canadians holddear were conceived of in theThirties; programs like Medicare,Employment Insurance, andthe Canada Pension Plan. Itwas Tommy Douglas and theCo-operative CommonwealthFederation that promoted thesetouchstones. They came froma compassionate and sociallyresponsible sensibility that wasingrained into the farmingcommunities of the country. Oneof those farming communities wasright here in the Valley.This weekend, July 10, fromNoon until 5pm, there will bea revival of the Roscoe FillmorePicnic that was an annual event inNova Scotia from 1978 to 1998.It was a reflection of the picnicsheld by a group of farmers, artistsand entrepreneurs, the so-calledCentreville Socialists, back in theThirties. For more informationon this group, go to the CharlesMacdonald House Societyof Centreville website, www.concretehouse.caThe afternoon’s program includesreadings from Maritime Radical,a book written by Roscoe’sgrandson, Nick Fillmore, whowill be in attendance. Nick wasa senior editor of Canadian newsat the CBC National for manyyears, a founding member of theCanadian Association of Journalistsand Canadian Journalists for FreeExpression, among other things.He also started up the reknownindependent newspaper in Halifaxback in the 60s, The Fourth Estate.Zachariah Wells will also be readingfrom a selection of poems hecomplied from Kenneth Leslie’sworks. (Leslie was a resident ofWoodville for many years andlater went off to New York City topublish The Protestant.) Also inattendance will be Chuck Lapp,who made a film on Leslie, God’sRed Poet, which will be showingin the museum’s Legge Gallery. BillTupper & friends will provide alittle musical background, and theRaging Grannies have written anew tune for the event.This is a free event with the hatpassed for Free Will donations.Bring your picnic lunch, freshideas, chairs, & beverages, musicalinstruments (if you like), sunscreen,bug repellent, a blanket &/orwhat-have-you for your afternoon’senjoyment. The Charles MacdonaldConcrete House Museum is locatedat 19 Saxon Street (at Hwy 359)in Centreville. 678-3177. For moreinformation, please contact: markeslipp, mslipp@ns.sympatico.caBEAT THE HEAT! By Sarah Trask, HDThe summer is upon us, and it’s looking to be one of the hottestsummers on record. Many people are prone to heat stroke, sunstroke,sunburn, heat rash and other heat/sun related illnesses. These tips shouldhelp you survive the heat, and if you’ve taken the necessary precautions andcontinue to feel symptoms in the heat of the sun, set up a consultation withyour homeopathic doctor to address your unique symptoms and they willfind a remedy that is specifically for you.1) Drink plenty of water and keep it with you at all times. If you feel weakfrom the sun, or sick in any way, get into a cool place and drink salty wateror a sports drink of some sort.2) Stay out of the sun at peak heat times. The sun rays are strongestaround 11pm- 2pm. Stay indoors or seek shade during this time.Bryonia: Headache from the heat of the sun, nausea and headache that isworse with any movement, even slight. Head pain is bursting, and usuallylocated over the eyes.Belladonna: Heatstroke/sunstroke where the skin is hot and dry, andthe headache is throbbing. Delerium can also accompany these symptomsand the face may be bright red with dilated pupils. Also of use in sunburn(to be taken orally), where the skin is burning.Glonionum: Hot face with sweatyskin and splitting headache, eyes arevery sensitive and there is completeexhaustion and even vomiting.3) Use a natural sunblock to protect your skin, 30 spf is sufficient for eventhose people with sensitive skin. Make sure it is paba-free, hypoallergenic,and free of oxybenzone.4) Have 4 homeopathic remedies on hand to help in case of heatstroke,sunstroke, sunburn, sun rash. Each remedy in a 30ch or 200chhomeopathic potency is sufficient. Dose with a remedy up to 5 times, 20minutes apart, or until symptoms are gone.Calendula (tincture, cream or salve):very useful in sun burn. Bathe firstin baking soda bath and then applytopical calendula to burnt areas.If you still feel sick, go to theemergency room, heat/sunstrokecan be very serious.Whatever you do...do it in bambooClasses for all ages and skill levels.

LedZeppelin had Bron-Yr-Aur.The Dungaree and HupmanBrothers have the Welding Shed.When Dungaree Brian Frizzle firstbought the property out in PortWilliams, the Shed was a dirtymess. Years of music, love, and extracoats of paint have turned it intothe cosiest of recording spaces, withguitars and vinyl records lining thewooden walls. Between the pedalsteel and the drum set, mason jarof milk in hand, I sit to talk to theboys behind the South MountainSwamp Rock Opera. “This buildingactually brought us together,” saysScott Hupman. He and his brotherRyan would come to the Fridaynight jam sessions hosted by Frizzle,and that’s how the Dung-Hupcollaborations began.The Dungaree Brothers themselveshave a longer history. They’ve beenplaying together for 20 years, theirfirst album coming out on cassette.Scott Prudence used to play in aband called Raspberry Jam, and metFrizzle at one of his shows. “He wasin the audience, yelling ‘BoDeans,play the BoDeans!’” They jammedtogether in a little chicken shackin Grand Pré before settling in tothe Welding Shed. Having a laidback,homey place to record in isvery important to both bands. TheHupman Brothers’ ECMA-winningalbum was made at home, in theirliving room up on the Ridge.The Swamp Opera was made athome, in the Welding Shed. “It’san extremely comfortable way torecord,” says Scott Hupman, “towrite and make music with peopleyou trust and respect.”That sense of home and camaraderieis apparent in their music as well.“Everybody says write about whatyou know,” explains Prudence.Living up on the South Mountainfor 15 years, he decided to takeinspiration from what was rightthere in front of him. The idea fordoing a rock opera was influencedby the Southern Rock Opera, analbum by the Drive-By Truckers.“It always seemed really hard to dothe continuous story, but in thatalbum there wasn’t a plot, wasn’tcharacters, the only character wasthe South. So I thought, well shit,I can do that. Make the Mountainthe character.”The songs came alive after that, andthe Swamp Opera was recordedin a whirlwind two days at theWelding Shed. All the boys agreethat song-writing can come throughmany different channels, but thatevery song is ultimately a gift. SaysRyan Hupman, “What you heardthrough your life pops up in yourhead at some point, you put yourown spin on it, always, and it justtransforms into something new.”The Dungarees and Hupmansrocked the swamp out last Fundy Saturday Film Societyat the Al Whittle for their films CD subject to change without noticeRelease.

13 The GrapevineJuly 8 - July 22, 2010Horoscopes for week of July 8th, 2010 © Copyright 2010 Rob BrezsnyARIES (March 21-April 19):Have you added some bulk andstability to your foundation anytime recently, Aries? Have yougrown your roots deeper andasked for more from your traditionalsources and recommitted yourself to your primal vows? I hope so,because this is a perfect time, astrologically speaking, to strengthen yourlink to everything that sustains you. You have a sacred duty to pushharder for access to the stuff that builds your emotional intelligence andfuels your long-range plans.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I like the way you’ve been contradictingyourself, Taurus. I appreciate your ability to be inconsistent,paradoxical, and upside-down. It has allowed you to wriggle free of therut you had been stuck in. You’ve stirred the affections of people whohad been frustrated about your narrow focus. Yes, it’s true that youhave also sown a bit of confusion in a situation that had formerly beenclear and concise, and that may have rankled the sticklers. But in myopinion, this is a fertile, healthy confusion that will ultimately lead toan unexpected breakthrough.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “We’re all in ‘sales,’ selling our personalities,our accomplishments, our charms.” That’s a quote from RichardGrossinger’s new book 2013. I share his view of human nature. Is thereany interaction between people that doesn’t involvea bit of hustling? The subtext of every encounter includesat least one of the following: 1. “I want you tolike me.” 2. “I’m trying to get you to believe I am whoI say I am.” 3. “I’d really like you to see how interestingand important and unique I am.” Given the factthat this is a ubiquitous phenomenon, there’s no needto be shy or embarrassed or secretive about it. That’sespecially true for you these days. So get out thereand sell yourself, Gemini. With brazen innocence andrelaxed enjoyment, show the world who you are andwhy you matter.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have you ever observed the risingmoon with such a steady gaze that you’ve actually seen it move? Haveyou ever sat yourself down in front of a rose bud during the hour it explodedinto full bloom? Those experiences have resemblances to a slowmotionburst of graceful growth that’s unfolding in your own sphere. Ihope you have the patience to give it your full attention, because thatway it’s more likely to express its potential completely. To enhance yourchances of nurturing the subtle magic, remember and ruminate on theimages your nightly dreams give you.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I’m not necessarily saying that you havesuperhuman levels of courage these days, Leo, but you do have morethan usual. What’s even more important for the task at hand is the factthat you have an exceptional capacity for identifying the fantasies thatfrighten you and finding fresh and practical ways to deal with them.That’s why I say that you now have an excellent opportunity to achievea major victory over your fears . . . to outwit them, outflank them, andeven dissolve them. To get started on this glorious quest, chant thefollowing ten times: “I am a crafty, compassionate warrior who findsamusement in every challenge.”VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of my Virgo readers, MariannGrace, is conducting a research project. It’s rooted in two assumptions.The first is an idea of mine: that everyone alive has an inalienable rightto a steady supply of fresh omens. The second assumption comes fromthe writer Angus Stocking: “Always interpret everyomen favorably.” With these two ideas as her theses,Mariann is testing the following approach: “Interpretabsolutely everything that happens as a favorableomen.” This would be an excellent game for you toplay in the coming week, Virgo. Synchronicities areabout to rain down upon you, flood toward you, andbubble up from below. Judging from the astrologicalconfigurations, I’d say it really does make sense toregard every one of them as meaningful, useful, andinvigorating.CROSSWORD by Laura MacDonaldTheme: Nova Scotian FestivalsAcross1.

Cormier, Bill Elliott, ThomSwift, The Hupman Brothers, and Curtis Thorpevery hot item being discussedA in Kings County these days, iswhether or not our farmland shouldbe protected and preserved for futurefarmers or should economic growthand expansion be the priority?Several land use issues are currentlybefore Kings County Council.It can take over a thousand years fora few centimeters of fertile, livingsoil to be formed. Farmland is finiteand is being destroyed or degradedat an alarming rate across the planet.In Canada, we have less than 3% ofour total land mass left as arable land- suitable for growing food. It seemsstaggeringly short sighted that wewon’t act to preserve the last of it forfuture generations.Many citizens and farmers believethat the best way to protect farmersis to protect the land. Some farmers,however, view the land that theyhave worked a lifetime on, as theirretirement fund and that they shouldbe able to sell it for developmentpurposes if that option fetches theJULY 16, 17, 18JP CORMIER AND THEELLIOTT BROTHERSTHE SPINNEYBROTHERSTERESADOYLESADDLE RIVERSTRING BANDGARYCOOK &BRAD SAWYERhigher dollar value. However, wherewould our current farmers be todayif their forefathers held the samephilosophy and had developed theland?On July 6 th the Council for KingCounty voted in favour (6 for, 5against) for the development of167.5 acres of farmland in PortWilliams. A conversation with JanetNewton (one of the six) offered this:“It’s a marvelous opportunity forPort Williams and Kings County.This will be a planned communitythat our elected commissioners werein favour of 100%. It’s a growthplan that is forecasted for the next30 years and the area in questionrepresents only 1.4% of PortWilliams total land area. In addition,at the public inquiry only 21 peoplespoke, 11 of who were from thecommunity of which feedback wassplit.”In related news…In 2005, application was made toTHE HUPMANBROTHERSJIMHANLONIANSHERWOODGARYFJELLGAARDIRISHMYTHENCOCO LOVEALCORNTHE RUSSELLSAWLERSTHOMBILL ELLIOTT SWIFTPETERSON’S FESTIVAL GROUNDS5701 HIGHWAY 215, KEMPT SHORE, HANTS CO.

We contacted Councillor Newton in an attempt to coverthe other side (there are always multiple sides). We encourage further dialogue from you.the Municipality of Kings, by fourlandholders in Greenwich, for therezoning of 380 acres of agriculturalland (A1), bordering Wolfville, toHamlet Residential (R7). Overthe next four years, after variousundertakings by the municipality,and changes to this application,in 2009, the farmers again madeapplication to the county, thistime for the rezoning from A1to a Greenwich ComprehensiveDevelopment District. In 2010, afifth party joined the applicationfor the rezoning, thus including thelands of Blomidon Nursery.If this application is accepted andthe lands are rezoned, it will providefor both residential and commercialdevelopment on these lands,including a collector road that willconnect Greenwich through SkywayDrive in Wolfville.If this application is successful, itwill directly impact the communitiesof Wolfville, Port Williams,Greenwich, New Minas, Kentville,and Coldbrook, and beyond. Thedetermination of this application’sacceptance rests greatly upon thefeedback councilors receive fromtheir electorate. (public hearing dateunknown at time of press).Members of the community, whosecollective desire it is to preservelocal farmlands, have formed anopposition to these applications,against type of development.
