MIA (Lost Books)
The Jewish festival of Hanukkah or Chanukah (both spellings are ac-
cepted) was born out of a power struggle. During the second century BCE (before the Christian era) the
Greek empire was attempting to extend its political rule over Judea and impose Greek religion and
social traditions upon the peo-ple. The guerrilla tactics of the Maccabees, one of the Jewish tribes of the area, defeated the Greek
forces. When the Maccabees en-
tered their temple to rededicate it they found that all the oil had been
defiled by the Greeks except for one small jar, which had only enough oil to burn for one
night. However, a miracle occurred and the oil burned for eight nights. The celebration of this mira-
cle is why menorahs have eight lights or candles, (the middle ninth candle is used to light the others) a
new light being lit for each of the eight days of Hanukkah. The name
Hanukkah means dedication. Traditional Hanukkah foods are fried in oil. Potato pancakes (known
as latkes) and jam-filled donuts are particularly popular in many Jewish households. Other Hanukkah cus-
toms include playing with four-sided tops called dreidels and exchanging
gifts. Although Hanukkah is quite well-
known in North America, due to its proximity to the Christian festival of Christmas, it is a minor Jewish holi-
day. Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are considered more
important festivals. Hanukkah begins Dec 1 after sun-
down. —R. Higgins, AVC Counsellor

The word solstice literally means
"sun standing still."
At the moment of the winter solstice, the path of the sun in
the sky over the past six months has reached its furthest southern position and now
turns northward.
For those in the northern hemisphere this means the
longest night. Conversely for
those in the southern hemi-sphere it means the longest
day. —Heidorn, K.C. (2000)

The Hogfather?
Some may have already read
Terry Pratchett’s The Hogfather.
If not, I strongly recommend it. Pratchett’s a brilliant British
author IMHO.
The plot, in brief? The Hog-
father, a Santa figure, goes missing & in order to keep the
holiday Death steps in.
Here’s a link to a trailer from
the movie version

Fire & Ice 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 pro-gramme 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 fantas-tic, there’s a really interesting mix of people who appre-ciate local products and want to support the Valley and come out to an event like this”, nous dit Nicole Robin-son 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 Brewe-ry, Gaspereau Vineyard, Jost, Just Us Coffee Roasters, L’Acadie Vineyards, Meadow Brook, Molson’s, Muir Murray Estate Winery, Propeller Brewery, Saint Famil-le 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 ache-ter 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. Pour plus information, veuillez contacter Nicole Robin-son au 679-7441 ou par courriel à [email protected]
