New report highlights
critical value of salmon
farming globally
A new report on salmon farming globally
shows the industry has come of age, and
Atlantic Canada is well-positioned to benefit
from the growing demand for healthy protein.
The report released by the International
Salmon Farmers Association (ISFA) demonstrates salmon farms today thrive in coastal
communities, producing one of the healthiest
foods with a minimal environmental footprint.
It further demonstrates the industry’s value to
Atlantic Canada, in terms of jobs and future
growth.
Salmon farmers globally produce 14.8 billion meals from only .00008 per cent of the
world’s oceans, says the report. It also shows
that based on 2012/2013 statistics, the industry produced $10 billion (USD) worth of
salmon and created 121,000 direct and indirect jobs around the world, stimulating thousands more spin-off jobs and economic
growth in a wide variety of other sectors.
“Salmon farming is already one of this
region’s biggest economic drivers, employing
over 3,000 people in New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia and generating $356 million economic
activity locally,” said Pamela Parker, executive
director of the Atlantic Canada Fish Farmers’
Association, in a news release.

Artists come together to present a unique winter garden art show
he MacLellan & Moffat Financial Gallery at
the Marigold Cultural Centre in Truro is
featuring two artists for the month of March.
Violet Rosengarten,
a painter, and Roxanne
Smith, a photographer,
have joined together to
present a powerful and
thought-provoking
show titled “Winter
Gardens: Two Views.” A
common theme evolved
from a series of works
about the death and
decay of gardens they
had
independently
developed. Together

ings are raw and expressionistic. They express
my anger about the on-going destruction of
our biosphere. The irises in winter, ravaged by
the elements become metaphors for this
process of destruction.
Roxanne: My work is about the fragility of
life. It is about how life is a gift and very precious.
T
About
Art
Why did you decide to do this show?
Violet: I liked and respected Roxanne’s
work and asked her to visit my studio. I had
just begun working on the Winter Garden
series. When she saw the paintings she said
she had been collecting objects for a series on
a similar theme. Then we decided to collaborate.
Roxanne: Violet asked me to join her in her
project. I had been thinking about this project
for awhile and decided that it was time to
bring it into reality.
What makes this show unique?
What inspired you?
Violet: I love the way Roxanne’s photographs and my paintings echo each other.
Elissa Barnard in her review of Winter Gardens: Two Views at the Craig Gallery in the
Chronicle Herald, Feb. 2014 wrote, “Both
artists, whose works are linked in palette,
mood, bones, light and language, encourage
the viewer’s imagination to take a leap. Both
are talking about mortality, memory and the
passage of time. Both offer a hope.”
Roxanne: This show is unique because of
the balance between the abstract and realism.
Violet’s work has more physical texture but
appears flat; my work is flat but appears to
have depth and volume. Also, painting and
photography are uneasy relatives. They are not
normally shown together in this way.
How does your work differ?
How does representation and
a tendency towards abstraction
find their balance in your work?
Violet Rosengarten and Roxanne Smith are sharing
their artist talents to bring to life the Winter Gardens: Two Views art show in Truro.
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Violet: I was inspired by the plants in my
garden in winter, especially the irises with
their elegant curved lines. Winter inspired me
to work with a pared down palette of white,
black, grey and earth tones with touches of
brighter colours.
Roxanne: I was inspired by the project, the
materials to be used in the project and books
that I was reading.
Violet: My work is very textured with
impasto (thick paint) in places. Roxanne’s
work contains simulated textures. My paint-
Violet: The first paintings in this series are
expressionistic yet representational (Iris I and
Iris II). As the work evolved the paintings
became more abstract as in Arabesque in Grey
I and Arabesque in Grey II.
Roxanne: Abstraction comes into my work
in the detail, or close views of the installations
I created to photograph, as in Preservation II.
It can take a moment to discover what the
subject of the photograph is. But, the subject is
revealed and the realism is complete.
Where else can we find you?
Violet: My website is under construction
and will hopefully be launched this summer.

Online women’s consciousness event
taking place next week
When Sue Davey from Melbourne, Australia
was struggling to find some answers about the
direction of her life, she wondered how many
other women have the same issues.
After becoming a successful coach, author
and speaker, Davey researched concerns that
were most common for women globally.
In an international survey of more than 6,000
women stated most common female struggles
are having difficulty balancing work/life/family
commitments, exhaustion trying to please others, fear of failure, lack of self worth, and wanting
to do meaningful work.
Not content just to find out what the common struggles were, Davey set out to do something about it. The result is the First Annual
International Conscious Women’s Event
which will be held March 23 at 5 p.m. EST.
The online event - at http://www.internationalconsciouswomen.com/ - is designed to
empower all women around the world
through educational webinars and online
mentoring from some of the world’s most successful women. The conference will focus
women’s mindsets, authenticity, passion,
integrity and collaboration.

Pothole repairs
are underway
Provincial highway crews are turning their
attention to repairing potholes.
“The constant freeze and thaw cycle we’ve
had this winter is a perfect recipe for potholes,” said Geoff MacLellan, minister of
Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, in
a news release.
Crews are performing temporary cold mix
repairs, which is a temporary patch until
longer-lasting hot-mix asphalt becomes available when asphalt plants open around the
province in May.
“The success we have against potholes
right now depends on location and climate,”
said Barb Baillie, executive director of maintenance and operations, Transportation and
Infrastructure Renewal, in the release. “This
has been the toughest winter we’ve had in
years and in many areas our crews still have to
deal with winter conditions even as potholes
are forming.”
Motorists can provide information on
problem potholes by calling 1-888-432-3233 or
by tweeting @NS_TIR on Twitter.

Lots to keep kids busy
There is absolutely no reason
for kids to be bored during a
week off for March break. There
are dozens of activities hosted across the
county by various groups. From physical
fitness and recreation, to arts, crafts and
education there is plenty to do. Community organizations, colleges and municipalities are proud to offer these activities that
provide opportunities to experience new
things and meet new friends. There is a full
list of March Break activities posted on
www.trurodaily.com

Colchester Historeum on Young Street.
Challenging road ahead
It’s a harsh reality for many at
First United Church.
If repairs to the picturesque church in downtown Truro are not
done, and soon, it will be closed. The 100year-old building is in dire need of renovations which are estimated to cost about
$2 million. At least half of that amount is
needed to fix windows and the tower,
with the rest to be used for interior
redesigns. Described as a “major architectural treasure” the congregation made the
decision to launch a campaign in an effort
to preserve it for future generations. It
would be a sad day in Truro’s history if
this dedicated group of volunteers were
not successful in their efforts.
New man
at the helm
Congratulations to Andrew
Lake as he steps into a new position with the Truro and Colchester Chamber
of Commerce. The experienced businessman will serve as the organization’s president for the next year, focused on building
partnerships within the community to grow
economy. Two such partnerships are already
in the process of being formed, the Greater
Colchester Partnership, uniting the chamber
with local municipalities and First Nations,
and the second one, the Dalhousie-Chamber
Partnership will bring students together
with local business leaders strengthening
their education.
Resources strained
A lack of substitute teachers is
putting a strain on local schools.
Last week there were 28 classrooms across the local board without a regular teacher or substitute, a record setting
number. This situation is causing stress on
schools. While officials try to isolate a cause
for the increase in absences, others are working on a long-term solution. We hope for the
sake of students they develop one soon.

Although only some 4,000 men of the second
contingent have as yet left Canada for the
front, and although the units of the third contingent are not yet fully equipped and recruited at some of the mobilization centres, the
militia department is already taking steps to
gradually recruit for a further draft of reinforcements.
The intention of the militia department is
not to send over any further complete army
divisions, but rather to forward infantry and other branches of the service in batches of several
thousand men at a time as reinforcements are
called for and as the men have completed training and are ready for the front.

Special dispatch to Daily News:
Parliament starts today on what promises to be
the last two weeks of the session.
There appears to be a general desire to prorogue by Easter and if this is not possible it will
in any event be by the middle of April.
Morning sittings begin tomorrow, while the
committee work, more likely than the House call
for delay, will be carried on at session simultaneous with those of the Commons.

Later, students in Grades five and six were given the opportunity to try the puppets and
learn a little about puppeteering at a special
workshop.
North River United Church celebrated
youth month with several special guests from
the community throughout the month of February. A group of young fiddlers recently put
on a mini-concert for the congregation. They
played a variety of old time and Celtic music,
as well as some favourite hymns.
The North River branch of the Women’s
Institutes of Nova Scotia (W.I.N.S.) were scheduled to host a special service for the congregation in February but had to reschedule
because of bad weather. They instead held
their service on March 1.
The ladies shared inspirational poems and
stories with the congregation. They also invited North River’s Sunday school to participate.
The children delighted the congregations with
three lively songs. They also read poems chosen by the W.I.N.S ladies and helped out by taking collection.

CROSSWORD
March 15 - March 21
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
A debate forces you to reconsider
some long-held opinions. Use
this time to reflect on your point
of view and if there is anything
you might want to change.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Life gets better and better as the
week goes on, Taurus. Expect a few
obstacles, but remember there's
nothing you cannot tackle, especially when you get some help.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
A situation arises at work that
evokes strong emotions among
your coworkers. Stay neutral on
the issue until you have had
enough time to gather more
information.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
A recently started relationship is
going great, Cancer. Now might be
a great time to take the next step
with your special someone. Expect
this person to share your feelings.

you neglect other responsibilities. While you may like a challenge, don't let it consume your
life.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Chores are completely unappealing this week, Pisces. But they
must get done one way or another. Delegate some tasks.

questions about the
health of the farmed
salmon, and the suffering inflicted on them
in inhumane conditions of oxygen depletion and other measures of water quality,

a failed experiment

the ocean.”

Re: ‘Excessive demands at local hospital lead to specialized guidelines’
“The last two times I visited emergency I waited 12+ hours both times and decided to go
without seeing a doctor. There is no excuse at
all for a 12-hour wait. I encountered a sour
assessment person and a standoffish nurse.
They seem to be able to act anyway they like
but don’t you dare even look at them the
wrong way. In my honest opinion these people
are lazy and ineffective.”

Re: ‘Comprehensive study shows
Truro flooding inevitable’
HARRY SULLIVAN  TRURO DAILY NEWS
“The ‘superchill’ at Cooke Aquaculture salmon
feedlots is becoming an annual event, not
every five to seven years as stated by the Nova
Scotia government. There was one just a year
ago in SW Nova Scotia, and climate change is
likely to make weather events more extreme.
This mortality shows how unsuitable the
open-net pen model of ‘farming’ is for Nova
“If the school board
paid according to certification level the
board may be more
successful in attracting
substitute teachers.”

Natalie Gehrkin, a widowed mother in Truro, says she was recently refused
income tax-preparation service by H&R Block after she refused to sign a form that
she said is an invasion of her privacy. After using the Truro office for approximately 20 years, she said, this is the first time the request has been made.
Re: ‘’Superchill’ kills fish at Cooke
Aquaculture sites in Nova Scotia’
“After all the studies, all the money spent of
trying to find a solution, and finally an observation that those that are on the flood plain
better get used to it. This wisdom is better late
than never I guess. Is it so hard for someone in
authority to have faced this fact long ago and
stated the very obvious.”
