Need to Know: SHOES
Given the variety of footwear that can be seen in
the hallways of Kingstec (see photos p3-4) it
seemed appropriate to both feature some shoe
related information AND to start the new year off
with a contest to identify the owners of the snazzy
shoes shown in the photos p3-4

NSCC Carpentry Students joined us in Celebrating Our First Annapolis Valley Groundbreaking December 15th in Wolfville which
was followed by a Reception at Just Us Main
Street. The Nova Scotia Community College
has been such a blessing to us in sending us
students who are helping us build our first
home. The major wind storm in December
blew down all our roof trusses. Volunteer with
us in January after we get roof tight and help
us keep moving forward!
AND THEN…
from http://www.habitatav.com/news.html
December 15
The storm which hit the Valley area, unfortunately did not spare our new construction on
Maple Avenue. The wind caused some major
damage to our trusses. Regardless it did
not damper our spirits and certainly not the
spirits of the great team of students who have
been working on the build from Kings Tech.
They will be repairing any damage and as a
result have all secured at the site for beginning of new year. Our Kings' Tech students
will return to the site in early January and simply pick up were they left off. What a God
send they have been!

Hundreds of shoes (from a collection numbering over
10,000) are on exhibit in architect Raymond Moriyama's
award-winning four-storey structure.
The Museum celebrates the style and function of footwear in four impressive galleries. Footwear on display
ranges from Chinese bound foot shoes and ancient Egyptian sandals to chestnut-crushing clogs and glamourous
platforms. Over 4,500 years of history and a collection of
20th-century celebrity shoes are reflected in the semipermanent exhibition, All About Shoes. Three other galleries feature changing exhibitions, so there's always
something new to see.

Par Greg Kehoe, étudiant en français
Allo les étudiants et le personnel de Kingstec. On veut
t’informer du gala « Fire and Ice » qui aura lieu le 3
février 2011. C’est une soirée spéciale de nourriture,
vin et bières de la Nouvelle-Écosse qui est organisée
par plusieurs groupes de concert avec les écoles des
arts culinaires et de gestion du tourisme du collège
communautaire NSCC Kingstec. Les étudiants du programme culinaire de Kingstec ont très hâte de préparer
ce repas spécial pour vous.

Il y aura des vins qui ont gagné des médailles, des
sculptures de glace, de la musique des étudiants de
l’Université Acadia, et des chefs étudiants de Kingstec
qui ont gagné des prix. L’année passée, il y avait plus
de 450 personnes à cette soirée agréable. Le menu
n’est pas fini en ce moment, mais il sera fantastique
comme les années passées.
“We’re planning on 600 guests: the food will be fantastic, there’s a really interesting mix of people who appreciate local products and want to support the Valley and
come out to an event like this”, nous dit Nicole Robinson de NSCC Kingstec.
Les organisations qui ont participé l’année passée avec
leurs produits sont : Annapolis Highlands Vineyards ,
Bear River Winery, Benjamin Bridge, Blomidon Estate,
Grand Pre Winery, Fox Hill Cheese, Garrison’s Brewery, Gaspereau Vineyard, Jost, Just Us Coffee Roasters,
L’Acadie Vineyards, Meadow Brook, Molson’s, Muir
Murray Estate Winery, Propeller Brewery, Saint Famille Winery, Tangled Gardens, et Van Dykes.
Kingstec travaille de concert avec le Rotary Club of
New Minas pour cet événement et le 2011 Nova
Scotia Winter Icewine Festival. Les fonds recueillis
lors de cette soirée iront au programme d’eau potable
de l'organisme Rotary International.
Les billets partiront vite – dépêchez-vous de les acheter avant qu'ils soient tous vendus comme l’année
passée. Le coût des billets est 45 $ et vous pouvez
payer comptant ou par carte de crédit. Cette année le
nombre de billets émis sera 600.
