Nominations now open for excellence awards
Cancer Care Nova Scotia is calling for
nominations for its 2015 Excellence
Awards.
The awards recognize the dedication and
accomplishments of those who work to
improve cancer prevention and care for
patients and their families. The deadline for
nominations is Sept. 21.
“Cancer Care Nova Scotia’s role is to
strengthen the cancer care system by working in partnership with health administrators, health professionals, patients, families
and others,” said Bob Russell, board member
and chairman of the 2015 Excellence Awards
Committee, in a news release.
“Our health-care community does the
heavy lifting to help ease the journey for

patients and families.
“The awards celebrate the efforts in making our cancer care system the very best it
can be. I encourage all who are part of our
extended health-care community, as well as
patients and families who have been impacted by cancer in any way, to consider nominating someone they believe has made a difference.”
Three awards will be presented in two
categories - leadership excellence and excellence in patient care (two awards - with one
recognizing health professional contributions and one highlighting the valuable role
of volunteers.
Cancer Care Nova Scotia, a program of
the Department of Health and Wellness, was
W e e k l y
created in 1998 to facilitate quality cancer
prevention and care for all Nova Scotians. It
supports health professionals in providing
patients with high-quality care.
Its work with other organizations and its
screening programs raise awareness about
the importance of healthy lifestyles to reduce
cancer risk, and educate Nova Scotians
about available testing such as pap tests for
cervical cancer and home screening kits for
colon cancer. The goal is to find cancer earlier and to treat it better.
The awards were introduced in 2009, to
mark the organization’s 10th anniversary.

Motion made to increase
CEO hiring accountability
HALIFAX - A motion has been filed
to provide greater accountability
and transparency when presidents
and chief executive officers (CEOs)
for government agencies and
Crown corporations are hired.
The motion requires that the
deputy minister responsible
appear at the provincial Human
Resources Committee within three
months of such appointments to
discuss the qualifications of successful candidates. Currently the
committee is only obligated to
approve ministerial appointments
to government agencies, boards
and commissions.
“This is something that is done at
the federal level and I think it only
makes sense to do it at the provincial
level as well,” said NDP Leader Maureen MacDonald in a news release.
“CEOs and presidents are highly
paid and have a great deal of
responsibility and autonomy.
Elected officials need to be given
the opportunity to ensure the
most qualified individuals are
receiving these jobs.”

added to
Homegrown
Success
Farmers with crop damage from deer are
now able to apply for provincial funding to
build fences.
The new funding is available through
the $1.6-million Environmental Management and Innovation Initiative under a
joint federal-provincial agriculture program, Homegrown Success.
“We have been hearing from industry
about the damage to crops caused by
wildlife, and that damage translates into
loss of revenue for those farmers,” said
Agriculture Minister Keith Colwell in a
news release. “We are responding to the
needs of the industry by providing money
for deer fencing.”
Funding will be 50 per cent of eligible
costs to a maximum $15,000. The deadline
to apply is Friday, May 15.
Details on requirements are outlined
in the program guidelines and generally
refer to dual fencing or eight-foot-high
fences.
“Our government is committed to
making sure our producers have the tools
they need to get the job done,” said federal
Agriculture Minister Gerry
Ritz. “This is why Growing Forward 2
programming is designed to have the flexibility needed to help the agriculture sector adjust and respond to risks.”
Producers who have already submitted
an application to the program can amend
their application to include deer fencing.
The Homegrown Success Program is
part of Growing Forward 2 and is cost
shared 60-40 between the federal and
provincial governments.

About
Art
How did you start making art?
I started drawing when I was very young, but
during the past two or so years I began to take
it more seriously. I started portraiture in the
summer of 2014, and immediately fell in love. I
make art because I like the challenge of capturing the person on the other side of the
paper, and with people, there is a never-ending
surplus of unique faces to choose from!
Do you have any tips or inspiring
words for others?
Because of my own age, I would really like to
inspire other young artists. It’s important not
to give up just because you get discouraged
one day, because the harder and more you
work, the better the result will be. Just because
you can’t do something now, doesn’t
mean you won’t be
able to do it in a year.
know when a
work is finished?
More often than not, I
will label a piece as
“finished” when I get
tired of doing it.
Because I love the
process of painting
so much, it’s easy for
me to recognize
when my creativity
has run dry. When I
have done as much
work as I can, then it
is officially finished.
Is there
something you
can’t live
without
in your studio?
I have a Tuff Stuff
eraser stick and a
white gel pen that I’m
sure I’d die without. I
use the eraser stick
for erasing, but also
for creating highlights in charcoal
pieces. The gel pen is

really great for adding bright whites to paintings.
creating?
What’s your favourite piece of work
that you have created?
I spend a lot of my time studying, since I will be
going into Cobequid Educational Centre this
year and entering international baccalaureate
courses. I am active in filming, and am learning Korean independently. In June, I will begin
learning Chinese from a friend at the local university.
I did a watercolour piece of Misha Collins one
day when I was off school, and I am very proud
of the eyes. I am not always confident with my
work, but I’m very happy with the result of this
particular one.
What are you working on at the
moment?
I have in mind the idea to paint a large watercolour piece revolving around the theme of
“water.” I have never practised painting liquids
before, so I think it will be fun. I also plan to do
a series exploring different traditional clothing
around the world, like the Kilt, Hanbok, Yukata, Bunad, etc.
Anna Fullerton
What are you doing when you’re not
What would people be surprised to
learn about you?
Most of the time, people are surprised to know
that I am 15! A lot of the time, I’m mistaken for
older.

OUR OPINION
Generosity
continues to
benefit local
homeless
society
ith the winter months behind us,
the need still remains for a homeless shelter and the local society operating the shelter continues to see donations.
Just recently, Philip Quigley received
a phone call from a man currently living
in Ontario. The chairman of the Truro
Homeless Outreach Society was blown
away by the man’s offer of purchasing an
upright freezer for the shelter, complete
with a four-year extended warranty.
The man is just one of a number of
people who continue to donate to the
cause anonymously, the cause being a
permanent shelter for the homeless
called Hub House.
Quigley said the local community is
of great support, not just for the outreach society, but for any and all causes.
His comment on Truro being “an
amazing” town is true, with so many
people stepping up to the plate each
and every day for a multitude of causes.
The list is endless.
When the Out of the Cold program
began at the beginning of winter, it was
in desperate need for volunteers, and
when the program ended at the beginning of April and the shelter continued
at First United Church, many of the volunteers continued to give their time.
“A lot of the volunteer-base has
stayed in place, and a lot of the businesses that have supported Out of the
Cold are still in place,” Quigley said
recently.
He also said the volunteer pot will
grow once Hub House becomes a reality,
with many church groups waiting in the
wings to be able to cook once a week.
There is a group of people organizing
a three-day event at Victoria Park for
the long weekend, selflessly giving their
time to host family-friendly games and
entertainment in the name of Hub
House, and many businesses are coming
on board to sponsor those entertainment slots and activities.
While homelessness may not affect
everyone, there are many who are so
close to being on the streets that supporting a permanent shelter is a great
opportunity. It could be a friend, family
member, or even neighbor that could
need a hand.
One never knows when they may see
themselves without a roof overhead and
in need of a safe place to stay.
Kudos to those making this dream a
reality and to those supporting that
dream.

Minister doesn’t foresee any teacher position cuts
TRURO - The Nova Scotia Department of Education is in a time of serious fiscal restraint, but
many teachers need not worry about losing
their jobs, said Education Minister Ron Giffin
Saturday.
The Truro-Bible Hill MLA was speaking to the
53rd annual general meeting of the Nova Scotia
Federation of Home and School Associations.
In fact, he told the meeting, “there will be a
number of positions opening up this year which
will give jobs to new teachers.”
Giffin went on to say there will always be a
turnover of teachers due to retirement, deferred
salary leave and illness.
TRURO - The town engineering department is
making some noticeable improvements at street
intersections in town.
On the north side of Victoria Street, near the
intersection with Pleasant Street, the street is
being widened and a new sidewalk is to be laid.
The purpose is to remove the right angled job at
the intersection and build a new sidewalk more
in line with the continuation of the east side of
the intersection.

Government launches
911 awareness campaign
To help reduce the number of accidental
and non-emergency calls to 911, the government has launched an awareness campaign
today.
“The 911 awareness campaign is a collaborative effort with our first responders, including RCMP, municipal police, Emergency
Health Services and fire services,” said Mark
Furey, minister responsible for the Emergency
Management Office, in a news release.
“We are reaching out to the public in a
number of ways, including a short call 911
emergency video.
“We hope the video will better inform people on how to use this important lifeline the
right way and reduce the number of nonemergency calls to 911.”
About 20 per cent of calls to 911 are nonemergency, misdials or nuisance calls. Many
Nova Scotians accidently call 911 via their cellphone, while others call to report a less serious
incident such as a noise complaint.
“Every accidental call must be treated as
a legitimate call until the call taker can
determine otherwise,” said Furey. “Improper
calls to 911 ties up valuable resources.
Intentional abuse of the system can lead to
charges.
“Nova Scotians should only call 911 if their
health, safety or property is in immediate danger. If in doubt, call 911.”
Nova Scotia 911 call takers receive 650 calls
per day. They play a critical role in protecting
the health, safety and property of Nova Scotians.
The Emergency Management Office
administers the province wide 911 emergency
service and works closely with all emergency
response agencies.
The four 911 public safety answering points
in Nova Scotia are Truro, Dartmouth, Sydney
and Kentville.

Easy and budgetfriendly ways to
add curb appeal
Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling
real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the
aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay
put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just
as important as a comfortable interior. Homeowners do not
have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their
homes. With these strategies, anyone’s home can take on a
more appealing look.
Curb appeal can set your home apart from others, and improving curb appeal doesn’t have to be expensive.
CLEAN UP
RELY ON SYMMETRY SYMMETRY
A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly acceptable
home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s exterior is one of the easiest
and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back
overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly
visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage
pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store children’s toys in
the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps
can improve curb appeal instantly.
is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway
and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures,
plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact.
SPRUCE UP THE LAWN
A well-manicured lawn can go a long way to making a home more
appealing. If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn
and garden service to help you establish a lush, green lawn.
DON’T FORGET LIGHTING
Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to
accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few
people enjoy approaching a dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure
your property always is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable
both day and night. Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in
how others view your home.
DRESS TO IMPRESS
The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front
door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you
do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful
wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the
outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted
plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terracotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.

Many homeowners take up gardening to
transform their homes with beautiful flowers
and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh
fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be
more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it
may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants
and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the
home.
Studies have indicated that gardening can
be good for the mind and body. In addition
to improving mood and reducing stress, plant
life and gardening also may help people have
a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the
benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason
enough to get into gardening, elevating your
mood and coping with depression or illness
may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb.

The flowers are blooming, and the grass has begun
to grow anew, making spring a great time for homeowners to once again turn their attention to landscaping. Those who aren’t looking forward to dusting off
their lawn mowers and rethreading their string trimmers may want to hire professional landscapers to
tend to their lawns and gardens.
The rising use of lawn care services is indicative of
homeowners’ appreciation of the convenience and
craftsmanship professional services can provide.
While the impact professional landscapers can have
on a property’s aesthetic appeal is considerable,
homeowners also benefit from working with professional landscapers in various other ways.
s4)-%3!6).'3One of the biggest benefits of
leaving lawn care to the professionals is the amount
of time it will save for the average homeowner. Lawns
generally need to be mowed once per week during
the spring and summer seasons and, depending on
the size of the property, that can take an hour or more.
Add the time it takes to clean up clippings, mulch
landscaping beds and edge the property, and homeowners can expect to devote a significant chunk of
their weekends to caring for their lawns. Lawn services employ a few workers who make fast work
of the job, leaving homeowners time to enjoy their
weekends however they see fit.

dangers that can result when tackling landscaping

equipment, and those lawn tools will require routine

Easy and budgetfriendly
ways to add curb appeal
People have many reasons for
growing gardens, and some of the
most popular gardens are plots
designated for cultivating herbs and
vegetables. Fresh produce at the
ready is a great benefit of having
a home garden, which also allows
homeowners to exercise full control
over which products to use to grow
robust, healthy vegetables.
Novice gardeners may not know
where to begin when it comes to
planting their first vegetable gardens,
and such gardeners can benefit by
starting small. You may want to begin
by growing plants in containers so
they are more manageable and can
be moved as you discover which
areas of your property provide the
best growing conditions.
Begin with one or two types of
vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers
and certain squashes are popular
starter plants, as they are relatively
hardy. Select only a few plants so
you are not overwhelmed with the
level of care required to maintain
your garden.
Some gardeners prefer to start plants
from seeds, but this will require more
time and a greater commitment with
regard to maintenance and planting.
When just starting out, experiment
with small plants that are established
and already have a good root system.
Consult with your local gardening
center for more suggestions, such
as which soil amendments to use.
Plants may require a certain soil
pH that can be adjusted for optimal
plant growth.

HOME/GARDEN
A patch of dead grass on an otherwise lush lawn can be a frustrating
How to repair dead grass eyesore
for homeowners. Whether lawn care is your passion or just
something you do to maintain the value of your home, dead grass can
be exasperating.
But as unsightly as dead grass can be, addressing it and restoring the
dead patches can be somewhat simple. Before you can restore grass,
however, you must first identify the source of the problem. Grass often
dies because of urine damage, which is typically characterized by a
dead spot surrounded by otherwise green grass. Grub infestation might
be at fault when dead grass appears, and such an infestation often
produces patches of light brown grass that are scattered throughout
the lawn. It’s also possible that dead grass is a result of human error.
If your lawn was overfertilized, then patches of gray-green grass may
appear. Fungal disease is another common culprit behind dead grass,
and such disease can manifest itself in different ways.
Identifying the source of the problem is the first step to
addressing dead grass.
Urine damage
Urine damage is often limited to a particular area of the grass where
your family pet routinely relieves itself. When repairing the grass, dig
a hole that’s roughly four inches deep and fill it with fresh soil until it’s
level with the soil surrounding the dead patch. Then you can sprinkle
seed on top of the freshly laid soil and water the spot.Grass should
grow in and stay green so long as you prevent further urine damage.
Rototiller
A rototiller, sometimes called just a “tiller,” is a
powered garden tool designed to loosen soil prior
to planting. A rototiller also can help aerate soil
during the growing season. Because they reduce
the need for manual spade digging or hoeing,
tillers can be useful landscaping tools, particularly
for homeowners who want to work efficiently.
Rototillers will break through tough soil and any
plant roots. They come in a variety of sizes, and it’s
best to match the tool to the size of the job.
Cultivator
Cultivators are similar to tillers in that they loosen
soil. Cultivators are effective during the growth
period of plants, when they can be used to aerate
the soil and remove weeds. Cultivators come in
hand-held versions and push models, and some
are even motorized. Cultivators get close to plants
to remove weeds without disturbing the plant. They
also are used to stir in compost or fertilizer.
When using any tools around the garden, wear the
Fertilizer damage
Fertilizer damage can also prove difficult to address, as applying
fresh seeds too soon can kill any freshly growing seedlings. So grass
that has been damaged by overfertilization must first be allowed to fully
die. Once that has happened, the grass can be cut and any remaining
debris or dead grass can be removed. Seed can then be scattered,
and you can even add some additional soil before laying down an
appropriate amount of fertilizer and watering the lawn immediately.
Dead grass can be unsightly and turn an otherwise lush lawn into
a patchy eyesore. But addressing dead grass can be easy and can
quickly restore a lawn to its green grandeur.

and home this summer!

Auger
Augers, both mechanical and manual, are
essentially large drill bits that help move materials
from one location to another. Augers are typically
used to cut holes in landscapes, and they are good
for post-hole drilling, which is part of the process
of installing deck footings, fencing posts or other
structures. Augers come in a variety of sizes, and
homeowners can choose how much power they
prefer. Augers can be heavy and cumbersome, and
many do-it-yourselfers will find that one-person
augers are more than adequate for their projects.
Insect damage
Addressing dead spots caused by insect damage can be a little more
complicated, and some homeowners may prefer to hire a professional.
If you want to handle the problem on your own, apply pesticide to the
affected areas so the insects behind the problem are killed. Once the
insects are no more, cut the grass, raking the affected area to remove
the dead grass and any additional debris. Scatter grass seed over the
affected areas and then apply an appropriate fertilizer and water
immediately. Professionals may know just the right fertilizer for your
lawn, so even if you want to go it alone, visit a local lawn care center to
ask for advice about addressing your particular problem.

Break ground with the right tools
The right tools for the job can be the difference
between an interminable landscaping project and
one that goes smoothly and efficiently. Aspiring
landscapers probably have a few shovels and
rakes hanging in their garages and sheds for
basic landscaping work. But while such tools are
effective for certain projects, when it comes to
churning soil for garden beds or digging holes for
outdoor structures, additional tools come in handy.
It may be well worth a trip to a nearby home center
to purchase or rent one of these tools ideal for
breaking ground.

With a paver
walkway or patio
Creating a walkway or patio out of paving stones can add
aesthetic appeal to a property. Pavers are less permanent
than concrete and decking. As a result, it is easier to change
the design later on if you want to give the space a new look.
Homeowners who install their own pavers can save a
considerable amount of money. Because installing paving
stones can be labor-intensive, landscape contractors may
charge a premium for installation. However, this is a project
that can be tackled by the do-it-yourselfer.

Mulch
Mulch is usually but not
exclusively organic in nature.
It may be permanent (e.g
plastic sheeting) or temporary.
( e.g. bark chips). It may be
applied to bare soil, or around
existing plants. Mulches of
manure or compost will be
incorporated naturally into
the soil by the activity of
worms and other organisms.
The process is used both in
commercial crop production
and in gardening and when
applied correctly improve soil
productivity. Wikipedia

Peat Moss
Peat moss has the unique
ability to bind sandy soil
and loosen clay soil. Its cell
structure
helps
regulate
moisture and air around plants
roots, creating ideal growing
conditions. The improved
soil texture not only creates
a healthy environment for
all your plants, but will also
make weeding much easier
once things start to grow.
To add nutrients to your soil
blend compost with your
peat moss and dig both at the
same time. Simply spread 1
to 2 inches of peat moss and
1 to 2 inches of compost over
your garden, then dig them
into the top 6 to 8 inches of
soil. CanWest

Drive with care
as highway
line painting
begins
Drivers are reminded to use caution when
passing crews painting lines on Nova Scotia highways.
As the weather turns sunny and warm,
crews are able to repaint the yellow and
white lines on roads.
While a number of updated safety
precautions to alert and instruct drivers
have been put in place, road maintenance vehicles have been struck from
behind in the past. "Painted lines and
markings are a critical safety feature on
our highways and getting them freshly
painted in the spring is a priority," said
Geoff MacLellan, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, in
a news release. "We ask drivers to pay
attention and take care while staff do
this important work." To paint the lines
department staff use a string of vehicles,
called a train, consisting of a paint truck,
trail vehicle, with a crash-absorbing
trailer and electronic arrow board, and a
second trail vehicle with an electronic
message board. Their goal is to complete
all scheduled painting in the province by
mid-October.

“Was I surprised to see Bill Casey step up to the
plate in Colchester County? Not at all! Cancer
doesn’t discriminate, neither does Bill. County
lines make no difference in this disease. Bill
Casey sees no county lines either. Being a cancer

horrid disease, he feels his bound and duty to
support the cause and spread the word about
early diagnosis. Only you can make this happen.

The sweet sounds of the super-talented Jann Arden
filled the Rath Eastlink Community Centre Friday
evening. Joey Smith - truro Daily NewS
the dignitaries present. Last year, he received his
glider license through this wonderful youth program and it didn’t cost anything to do so. These
wonderful young people from the Brookfield
area deserve the awards and promotions they
received this weekend. They have worked hard
all year and conducted themselves with dignity
and integrity throughout the annual ceremonial
review and formal dinner. Major-General Madower was a true Nova Scotian, telling the cadets
how pleased he was with their accomplishments
and offering them words of encouragement. His
warm personality was evident the moment he
walked into the Sportsplex where the event was
held. It was an honour to have him as reviewing
officer for our small squadron. Brookfield and
surrounding area can be proud of these fine
young men and women! They have had an all
around terrific year in the cadet program.”
