DSM to invest
$30 million
in Mulgrave
expansion
SPIRITED YOUNG FILLIES: A fearsome float at the Canso Regatta was the "Waterhole" entry, which took
home "Best Overall Float" recognition. Perhaps it was the gun-slinging antics of (l-r) Mya MacKenzie, Maria
MacKenzie and Peyton O'Handley that swayed the judges. Susan O'Handley Photo
MULGRAVE – DSM Nutritional Products, part of
Royal DSM NV, a global
leader in developing,
manufacturing and marketing essential nutritional ingredients for health
markets, announced on
Monday, August 18, it is
investing at least $30
million in new capital in
its Mulgrave facility.
"DSM evaluated multiple locations across the
Americas for an expansion within our nutritional
products division," said
Stephan Tanda, managing board member of
DSM, responsible for its
nutrition business group.
"With NSBI's support,
along with Nova Scotia's
talented and educated

of marine sciences, Nova
Scotia was the right
choice for this investment."
DSM acquired Ocean
Nutrition in 2012 and
today is one of Nova
Scotia's largest employers in the life sciences
industry.
"DSM has been a
flagship operation in
Nova Scotia, helping
define the natural health

The 5th Canso & Area
Scout Troop leaders and
Venture Youth (ages1417) attended the National Venture Scout
Jamboree-Adventure 14
on August 2-7, 2014 at
Camp Nor'Wes in Newfoundland.
The was the largest
Scouts Canada camp
in Newfoundland and
Labrador, nestled on
the edge of Terra Nova
National Park. It was a
unique opportunity to
form a composite patrol
unit with Venture Youth
from Ontario, Manitoba
and Nova Scotia.
The Flat Earth Society
believes that Newfoundland is positioned at one
of the four corners of
the world, teetering on
the edge of the planet. So Scouts Canada
invited Venturer Scouts
to experience what life
is like at the end of the
earth. Programming
projects included whale
watching on Trinity Bay,
hikes, biking, whitewater
rafting, exploring Terra
Nova National Park,
science and technology
projects, archery, catapult, orienteering and
kayaking.
Some 650 youth
participants attended
from across Canada, the
United Kingdom, United
States and the United
Arab Emirates.

Full Steam Coffee now Atlantic
Canada’s certified kosher roaster
The Full Steam Coffee
Co. has achieved kosher
certification from COR,
becoming Atlantic Canada’s only kosher certified
coffee roaster.
A certified organic and
Fairtrade coffee roaster
in the seacoast village of
Guysborough, Nova Scotia, Full Steam Coffee’s
kosher certification is a
further recognition of their
high quality standards

opening up new markets
for the company. “We’re
proud to attain kosher status for our Full Steam Coffee,” said Glynn Williams,
proprietor. “Our vision at
the Authentic Seacoast is
to restore our community’s
proud trading legacy by
producing quality products
and this important certification will enable us to
reach new customers.”
COR is the kosher
certification trademark
used by the Kashruth
Council of Canada, the
largest kosher certification
agency in Canada. Their
inspection team ensures
food that is COR certified
complies with the highest
kosher dietary standards.
“We are delighted
to welcome Full Steam
Coffee as a member of
COR,” said Judy Pister,
executive assistant and
New Client Representative
for the Kashruth Council
of Canada. “For consumers around the world, COR
stands for kosher quality
and Full Steam Coffee is
fully compliant with our
high quality standards.”
Wreaths taken to sea
CANSO – Under cloudy
skies more than 20 fishing vessels from Canso
and area formed a boat
parade to take wreaths
from the Seamen’s
Memorial to sea, this
past Sunday, Aug. 17.
The boats circled Canso
Harbour then took the
wreaths out to Chadabucto Bay. Rev. Darroch
Fagan from All Saints
Anglican Church conducted the blessing of
the fleet and prayers for
those lost at sea. King
Lion Barry Lumsden and
Lion Ray White placed
the first wreaths at sea
followed by wreaths by
Rev. Fagan, Rod MacKenzie of the Guysborough
Inshore Fishermen Association and wreaths from
Tiger II with Seamen’s Memorial wreaths.

After a moment of silence the boats returned
to Canso.
This moving tribute
is held each year as
activities in the Canso
Regatta come to a close;
it is a project of the
Canso Lions Club with
the support of the fishing
community. Local fisherman Rod MacKenzie in
Tiger II was the lead boat
for the final tribute from
the community.

Politics is not a game
Protecting natural beauty
Last week former Conservative staffer Michael
Sonna found out the hard way that politics isn't a
game. Sonna was found guilty in a Guelph, Ontario courtroom for his role in what has come to be
known as the Robocalls controversy. He will be
sentenced next month and in theory could get up
to five years in jail. While it is unlikely that Sonna
will have the book thrown at him, he could face
some time in the crowbar hotel. And despite his
young age, 25, he does not seem to have much of
a future in politics.
Sonna more or less personifies the image folks
get when they think of the term "boys in short
pants," which has become the current way of
stereotypically describing the young folks who work
on Parliament Hill these days. While you will find
those types (we used to call them Type A personalities) in all political parties, it seems that the kids
working in the current government have taken their
role to a whole new level.
From what we read and hear, some of these
young guns operate with reckless abandon. They
bark out orders from the Prime Minister's Office
to MPs and senior public servants. That a 25year- old, with little or no life experience can find
herself or himself in a position to have that sort
of influence, or at least perceived influence, tells
you about all you need to know about the state of
politics in Ottawa these days.
Many believe Sonna did not act alone and some
commentators hold that he should do the right
thing and name names. While we should obviously
find out who knew what, when and who exactly
was in on the scheme, going forward it is far more
important that everyone understand what the Robocalls episode represents.
Every generation of political watchers holds
that the decorum and the state of politics they
witnessed is the worst ever. The Diefenbaker years
were classics with the old chief fighting with both
the Liberal government of Lester Pearson and his
own caucus. Pierre Trudeau's famous "fuddle-duddle" remark to an opposition MP in Question
Period sort of embodied political tension in the
seventies, the then Liberal MP Sheila Copps climbing over chairs to challenge Tory minister Sinclair
Stevens at a committee meeting in the 1980s
and of course Gomery and other inquiries in the
1990s, have all left bruises on the political landscape in Canada. However, we think it is at a whole
new level when a party worker, even unauthorized,
feels that he or she can manipulate the democratic
process.
There are likely many reasons as to why politics
has sunk to such a low level. Part of it is social
media and technology in general, which makes it
easier to spread the message, true or not, about
a political opponent. Another is a distinct lack of
respect among politicians in Ottawa these days.
Justin Trudeau and his Liberal supporters rightly
feel as though he is personally being attacked
in Conservative advertising. On the other hand
Stephen Harper and the Tories would tell you that
the Tory messages are lollipops compared to what
the governing Liberals were saying about him and
his party back in 2005 and 2006. The difference is
that technology advancement in the last few years
has served to intensify the cynicism and mistrust
among politicians themselves, and Canadians'
fatigue with politicians generally.
So who can change the tone of politics today?
The people of course. We must demand of our
leaders a certain level of civility where Question Period looks more like a passionate discussion and
debate among the representatives of the people
and less like a scene from the old World Wrestling
Federation. Maybe then we will attract more of the
the kind of folks who want to make a positive contribution to government and Canada as opposed to
simply trying to manipulate the political system.
Politics is not a game to be manipulated. The
fact that one person (and maybe others) almost
got away with treating it as such and potentially
altering the outcome of an election is a warning to
all of us.
To the Editor,
Just read the letter to The
Journal by Alicia Horton
and Coady Avery. Well
written! Perhaps public
servants have been
schmoozed into devilish
deals.
We, the people, have
a grand opportunity to vi-
sualize a different future
for the gem of a coast we
call home. Twenty years
ago protestors young
and old captured the
attention of global media
when teenagers and
grandmothers proudly
wore prison bracelets.
Their crime was to stop
the ravaging of old growth
forests on Vancouver
Island. Today the area is
a beloved tourist destination; actions to protect
nature made Clayoquot
Sound famous!

Murphy’s Law
By Helen Murphy
Any
It happened as I feared
it would. I came home
Friday after work to find
an unknown male in my
home. He was a little
fellow, only about a foot
long and six inches tall
-- but he was strange all
the same.
Katherine had not
alerted me to her
last-minute decision to
buy a dog that day. She
had pretty much decided
on the one she wanted,
but the timing of the
purchase developed a
sudden urgency.
"Mom they said they
were going to sell the dog
to a girl and her father
from Montreal if I didn't
go and buy it today" she
said by way of explanation.
Yes, it was the old
“another buyer is waiting
in the wings” routine. I
considered making this
a teachable moment, but
since our household was
being turned upside down
by nervous little pup, I
decided the time wasn't
right.
So I came home to
find my daughter's new
puppy cowering in the
corner, and my daughter
gone to work for the evening. I can't sugar-coat
it; that first night the dog
didn't like us, and we
didn't like the dog.
The thing looked like a
character from The Lion
King -- not the adorable
little Simba, but rather
the evil uncle Scar, if you
can imagine him as a
pup. The dog glowered
at us from the shadows,
snapping if I tried to pet
him.
And for this pleasure,
our daughter paid $500.
Let me stress, this dog
is not a pure breed. He
is half Pekingese and
half Pomeranian. I always
thought such beasts were
called mutts and found
accommodation through
signs that read, "To give
away to a good home..."
But no, apparently they
are called "designer
breeds" and they come
kind of dog
with a hefty price tag.
Katherine has decided to call him Tuuka,
after the star Finnish
goalie that the Toronto
Maple leafs unwisely
traded away. Her Dad
and I prefer to call him
Stitch, after the alien
dog in Lilo and Stitch (to
whom he also bears a
resemblance) or sometimes Verdell, after the
dog in the Jack Nicholson movie "As Good as
It Gets," just because we
know it annoys Katherine.
But I have to admit
that the ankle-biter (literally) is growing on me.
Day two was much better
and his little personality
is starting to shine. He's
not actually a Scar, he's
actually a lot like his
owner: an uncontrollable
bundle of energy who
takes frequent naps.
Run and crash, run and
crash, repeat.
I realize now that
$500 is just the start.
We've only had him a few
days and his wardrobe
already rivals mine.
But it's not my money
-- Part II
this time.
Actually I'm thinking
that my role isn't so bad.
@_Murphys_Law
Our new addition: ugly enough to be cute. Contributed Photo
Maybe it's a little like
having grandkids. I get to
play with him, sneak him
treats and then give him
back when he's annoying.
Central Nova Report
100th anniversary of WWI
By Peter MacKay
This month marks the
100th anniversary of the
start of WWI.
It was in August 1914
that the world would be
forever changed by the
enormity of a conflict
that was unfolding. Although fought on shores
far from Canada, in the
process it would play a
defining role in the development of our nation.
Our country fought
valiantly, and paid a
heavy price - fighting
alongside British, French
and Russian troops
against the aggression
of the Central Powers.
In battles at Ypres,
The Somme, Vimy Ridge,
and Passchendaele, our
Canadian soldiers fought
valiantly and incurred
important losses of life brave men, all too young
to die. The efforts of our
soldiers, at these battles
in particular, became
tremendous sources of
national pride. In time,
historians have rightly
assessed that these
battles became defining
moments in our nation’s
history.
The scale of this
conflict was staggering,
as were the casualties;
there were upwards of
70 million combatants nine million of whom never returned home, with
equally as many civilians
among the casualties.
From this number, more
than 650,000 Canadians
served, 66,000 fell and
172,000 were wounded.
This was at a time
when our nation’s population was less than
eight million people. By
today’s standards, that
would be the equivalent
of nearly three million
Canadians fighting. The
cumulative war effort
consumed nearly all of
our nation’s energies.
The First World War,
which ended with the
signing of the Treaty of
Versailles on November
11, 1918, was not only
significant for its scale
but also for the fact that
we successfully fought to
defend freedom and the
rule of law.
Many of us had
relatives participating in these conflicts
whose lives were forever changed. It is for
this reason that, 100
years on, stories of their
bravery and sacrifice still
hit so close to home.
That is also why we as
Canadians can look
back on our sacrifices
with such pride, and why
milestones like this are
so important to mark.
Lest we forget.

Mariner’s Day: Moving
By Stuart MacLean, CEO
Nova Scotia’s fishing
communities boast some
of the most beautiful
scenery in our province:
diverse, picturesque
shorelines, wharves
lined with fishing vessels, and boats bobbing
along in the water. These
incredible maritime settings can truly take your
breath away. They represent a core part of the
fabric of our province.
In the midst of some
of this beautiful scenery,
however, also stand large
granite monuments,
each providing a harsh
reminder of the hardship
that has long been a
part of Nova Scotia’s
fishing history. The long
lists of names etched
into the stones remind
us of the lost ships and
fishing vessels, and people who have lost their
lives at sea.
In honour of Mariner’s
Day, which is recognized
of the
toward a future of safe traditions
Workers' Compensation Board
the second Sunday in
August, I recently visited
some of these monuments. And I was particularly struck by the ones
that are blank. The ones
that sit there looming,
waiting and anticipating
the future names to be
engraved, the tragedies
yet to happen. The tragedies that no one wants
to see.
It’s that expectation
of fatality – the feeling
of it’s not a matter of
if, but rather when, the
next fishing tragedy will
happen – that many of
us are working together
to change.
Although fishing is an
industry deeply rooted
in tradition, the future is
full of opportunity to create new, safe traditions.
And many of these are
already slowly starting to
emerge, take hold and
grow within the industry.
Every day we see and
hear of people not just
thinking differently, but
acting differently, about
fishing safety on wharves
and vessels around the
province.
PFDs are popping up
everywhere, and many
fishermen are eager
to share their stories
of wearing them while
they work. When a PEI
fisherman attended a
safety demonstration in
Nova Scotia and discovered the importance of
having a ladder on board
his boat in case a crew
member goes overboard,
he returned home and
wrote an article in his
community paper encouraging others to equip
their boats with ladders
too.
And last November,
when the fishing season
in Southwest Nova was
delayed due to weather
conditions, we heard
fishermen comment in
of
NS
the media with things
like, “Safety is the
reason, nothing else.
You never want to lose
anybody,” and “If it saves
one man’s life, it’s worth
it.”
These are just some
of the actions we’re seeing and hearing about,
but nonetheless, they
are a strong sign of a
shift in the industry. And
we are doing everything
we can to help grow this
shift.
Over the past few
months, we at the WCB,
along with our partners
at the Department of
Labour and Advanced Education, the Department
of Fisheries and Aquaculture, the Fisheries Safety
Association of Nova
Scotia and the Nova
Scotia Fisheries Sector
Council, have been working closely with industry
representatives to create
a Safe at Sea Alliance.
We’ve been engaging
fishermen, their families
and other community
members, bringing leaders together, and visiting
wharves and communities across the province
to hear about what
might be different so
that fishing can happen
more safely. At the same
time, we’ve also been
engaging those who can
ultimately help facilitate
the changes needed,
including partners from
other associations and
various departments and
levels of government.
Our goal is to create the conditions for
success so that our
province’s proud fishing
traditions carry on in a
way that reduces the risk
of people not coming
home to their families.
And ultimately, working together, the Safe at
Sea Alliance – industry,
government and other
partners – will use all of
the thoughts, comments
and recommendations
gathered over the past
few months to develop
an action plan that will
help shape the future
fishing in Nova Scotia.
Because in order for
our future fishery to
be bright, vibrant and
prosperous, it needs to
be safe.
As I look to the
future of fishing in Nova
Scotia, I envision a day
when we all believe
that workplace injuries
are preventable. And,
recognizing the risks
inherent in the industry, I
envision a day when the
whole industry embraces health and safety. I
firmly believe the key to
achieving this lies within
all of us continuing to
work together and grow
the safety culture that
has already started to
take root.

Feature Article
Book launch: Canso women share their stories
Several years ago Susan
O'Handley had an idea
about sharing an important aspect of Canso's
history. She was looking though the Canso
History book and thought
about all the women in
the area and how they
have contributed to their
respective communities.
She wanted the voices
of some of the senior
women to be heard.
O'Handley often listens
to her own mother Winnie Roberts tell stories
about growing up in rural
Nova Scotia and what it
was like, and she knew
there were lots of stories
to be told.
Many women played
key roles in developing
things like schools, day
cares, medical infrastructure and the like. “As a
member of society we
each play an important
role in insuring our communities are all they can
be and that each small
or large contribution is
very important,” says
O`Handley. She also believes the most important job in the world is
being a mother, so this
began her quest to have
some wonderful stories
put in print.
O`Handley has been
working with Eastern
Communities Youth
Association (ECYA) since
it began in 1998, so
it made sense for her
to approach that group
with her idea and tie the
whole thing together by
having a youth do the
majority of the work.
The "Bridging the Gap"
project began with assistance from a federal
program.
Nadine Blackburn was
just out of StFX University with an English background and was excited
to be involved. Nadine
was hired and the work
was started. A small
committee consisting
of Joe Walsh, Melinda
Bouchie, Darren Bennett
and O`Handley oversaw
the project. There were
a few delays in getting
this book finished and
published that were
beyond ECYA's and the
committee's control.
However, the end project
of five short stories from
five wonderful ladies was
completed.
With the delays, only
two of the ladies are still
alive at the time of the
book launch on Sunday,
August 17. Gertie MacKenzie, Bertha Murphy
and Edna Bond are now
deceased. Unfortunately
Bernice Bond wasn't
feeling well enough to
attend the launch, so
that left only left one of
the storytellers, Winnie
Roberts, at the event on
Sunday.
Family and friends
came to celebrate the
book launch at the
Canso Library. O`Handley
gave a short history of
the project and then read
excerpts from the book,
along with Janet Delorey,
ECYA chair. Copies of the
books were donated to
the Canso Library and
the Fanning Education
Centre/Canso Academy,
along with one to Winnie
Roberts. A single copy
was given to a member
of each storyteller's
familiy. The remaining
books were sold at the
event for $15, which was
just covering the cost of
the book, as this was not
a fundraiser, but rather
recording a part of our
history for future generations. ECYA will do a second printing if people are
interested in purchasing
the book. Contact ECYA
Office at 366-2559 for
more information.

Quote : Have you
heard the story about the
little boy who came down
stairs one morning to find
his mother looking in the
cake tin with a puzzled
expression on her face ?
"There were two pieces
of cake when I put it away
last night, and now there
is only one," she said, "
Thomas , can you explain
what happened ?" "Yes,
Mum," Thomas replied , "
It was dark and I couldn't
see the other piece!"
Have a great week!

Ray’s Opinion
by Ray Bates
A rotten apple spoils the barrel
There is a proverb that
states: “a rotten apple
spoils the barrel”, meaning that a bad person
influences everyone he
or she comes in contact with thus making
them bad too. Can it
be possible that such a
thought could be altered
to apply to some individuals who find themselves
to be in situations of
authority and then they
adjust their initial good
intentions into self-rewarding and entitlement
mindsets thereby making
their positions into “rotten apples”?
Recently the media
has reported on individuals who have been
accused of misappropriating public funds
(taxpayers’ dollars). I
am certain that many of
us are able to cite the
names of others who too
have behaved improperly,
or possibly illegally, with
their dealings with government money (again
taxpayers’ dollars). I
shall only refer to three
of those media-referenced individuals: former
Alberta premier Alison
Redford (alleged to have
misused public money);
Senator Mike Duffy (alleged to have fraudulent
expenses); and Mayor
Susan Fennell, Brampton, Ontario, (alleged
to have inappropriately
charged $172,608 to expense accounts). Sadly
those three individuals
are not the first to misbehave nor, unfortunately, will they be the last.
It boggles my mind
when I think of politicians and political operatives who behave badly
once they are installed
into positions of authority and/or responsibility.
Having stated my puzzlement for those “rotten
apples”, I also must
express my admiration
for the many good and
honest individuals who
too occupy publicly-funded stations and strive
to always do their best
so as to be of value to
those they represent or
serve. To be fair to our
elected and appointed
representatives, many
other occupations also
are tainted by the few
who tarnish the good
reputations and deeds of
the many. I can recall inappropriate and unlawful
situations that involved
members of the police,
clergy and teachers - to
bring other scoundrels to
mind.
Somewhere along the
line a sense of entitlement has crept into the
mindsets of many -- be
they political, corporate
or otherwise. When or
where the belief began
that people are entitled to unjust shares of
public money is unknown
to me; it is like a cancer
that has appeared but
the body does not indicate its primary source.
I can’t speak for
others but I do wonder
what went wrong with
our financial accountability standards so as to
enable such practices
of entitlement to exist
and sometimes appear
to flourish. To my way of
thinking, whenever someone (individual, business,
organization, etc.) gets
the mythical government
money, then accountability and transparency must
reign supreme.
Redford, Duffy and
Fennell did submit
expense vouchers which
were subsequently
approved by individuals
in overseer positions
so how did the alleged
transgressions occur? I
do not believe there was
an organized conspiracy
Wednesday, August 20, 2014 • Guysborough Journal • Page 13
to commit illegal acts; I
think the accountability
rules were too relaxed
and/or those three
individuals’ positions of
power intimidated their
underlings.
If you, as have I, ever
occupied an employment position in which
you were accountable
to an authority person
who had the power to
impact upon your career,
whether it was directly
or subtly, you too will
probably admit that such
unchecked power does
influence what a subordinate acknowledges or
ignores.
It is irritating to
hear of justification for
misused public moneys being supported by
statements such as the
following: “the guidelines were followed”;
to that I say “bunk”.
Guidelines might have
been observed but those
particular parameters to
protect our tax dollars
are occasionally simply
too slack and/or overly
generous. I have no problem with all justifiable
expenses incurred in the
performance of the duties of a position being
subsequently reimbursed
but those costs must be
scrutinized and reasonable.
Every time people
wrongly or unjustifiably
dip into our public funds
to obtain rewards for
themselves or others via
a self-serving sense of
entitlement, our systems of government are
weakened. The “rotten
apples” are spoiling the
honourable positions of
serving for the public
good. Those few “rotten
apples” are applying
more tarnish to the dwindling levels of respect
that electors hold for
the many holding public
offices, thereby also
eroding the amount of
participation within our
democratic system.

Thank You
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the kindness and support
shown to me by my family and friends during my recent illness. Special thanks
for the prayers said for me, floral tributes, get-well cards and for the visits and
telephone calls I received while in the hospital and at home. Special thanks to
Drs. Foley, Bell and Rangeni, nursing staff of Guysborough Memorial Hospital,
Drs. Boyd, Abdelgader, and Dr. Pereirra nursing staff of PCU St. Martha's
Hospital, Father Neil McKenna and Father Tom MacNeil for their spiritual
support, and to those who brought food to our home. Words cannot express
my appreciation for the caring support I received the past several weeks. Once
again, thank you.
