Dramatic weekend boating incident involves Victoria “bright orange” life jackets, mild windburn resident walks Onlookers say: Group wearing bright orange life jackets at time of incident. Rhyse Booth A group of local residents returned from their day-long boating trip on an area lake laughing, joking around and generally enjoying each other’s company. The group was allegedly seen boating, swimming and water-skiing on the lake throughout the day. Onlookers reported that the entire group was wearing CSAapproved life jackets. The life jackets appeared securely fastened at all times. “Looked like they were having a great time,” said boat launch supervisor Bill Donnelly. “I heard a lot of laughter. And it was laughing with, not laughing at, you know?” Donnelly confirmed the group was wearing life jackets for the entire day. “Yup, they put ’em on soon as they were on the boat,” Donnelly

said. “The good ones - big and fullsized. Bright orange. Everyone put them on, without any fuss.” While witnesses applauded the decision to stay safe on the water, some suggested it came at an exceptionally heavy cost. “Uhhh . . . that’s not what I meant at
all,” said Donnelly obstinately. “OK, sure, one of the guys might have gotten a little windburn. He’s a little red on his cheeks, you know? That’s about it.” Despite the threat of tender, sore cheeks for the next 48 hours, Donnelly insisted the group had the
right attitude about water safety. “You always hear about ‘tragedy on the water’ – you know, people go out in a boat, not wearing any life jackets, thinking nothing will ever happen. They end up hurt, or worse,” Donnelly mused. “Well, this was about as far from a
tragedy as possible. Everybody laughing, having a good time. Wasn’t a tragedy. It was, like . . . reality. Yeah, a reality TV show. That’s what it was.” When informed that the opposite of tragedy is, in fact, a comedy, Donnelly issued a terse reply. “Oh,” he said.
Kevin Kumar Victoria resident Nicole Hatt deliberately decided to use the crosswalk at Government Street and Fort Street instead of jaywalking late Thursday afternoon. The decision added an extra 3.048 metres to her journey. “Sure, I could have run across the street,” admitted

Hatt with confidence. “I mean, I’m fit. I’m quick on my feet. I came in second in my high school in the 100-metre. But then I thought to myself: why risk it?” When asked whether her snazzy new cross-trainers were a factor behind her impressive street-crossing performance, Hatt had no comment.

Belinda Nystrom After careful deliberation, a local skateboard enthusiast has decided that wearing a helmet is preferable to ending up in the emergency ward with a broken skull and a severe concussion. “Dude, a schralped head is, like, seriously gnarly,” skateboarder Grant Tobin said. “It’s worse than noggles, you know?” Sidney Skatepark locals gave Tobin “mad props” for wearing his “bucket,” more commonly known as a helmet. “It’s pretty sick,” admitted Tony Daluze. “To see a guy who can ollie a 12-set like that while keeping his brain safe – that is like, way, waayyyy ill.” When asked to translate his strange cant into everyday English, Tobin was dismissive. “Dude, that question is so

Local business women share success stories Pirjo Raits Sooke News Mirror
About 30 business women from the Victoria area met at Seaflora, Diane Bernard’s seaweed skin care product line premises, to have a look at her business. Kerry Brown, of ewomennetwork.com based out of Victoria, and Barbara Mowat of groyourbiz.com, brought the women out to Sooke. The women toured Seaflora and were given a short introduction on the properties of seaweed. She had them hold some bull kelp and they learned about some of the more than 700 species of seaweed along the B.C. coast.”We knock the socks off the world,” said Bernard in regard to the variety of seaweed along our coast. The women also visited Tugwell Creek Honey Farm and Meadery to see what goes into that business. They enjoyed a meal and a fashion show put on by Linda Ferguson.

approach to meeting the needs of women business owners. Barbara Mowat, said that there are five chapters in British Columbia and they are hoping for 100 chapters. Mowat started the Uniquely BC program in 1989 and over 16 years expanded to programs across Canada. During that time, over 12,000 Canadians chose “Uniquely” as their source for product, business and trade development to launch their products in the wholesale gift show marketplace.
council meeting. Councillor Rick Kasper spoke against the issued amount. He made a motion to go through each grant one at a time, but council ended up approving all amounts at once. Tait said the increased sum was issued based on the fire department’s written application and oral presentation, adding the committee deliberated in accordance with the terms of reference. “I’m supporting the work that these hard working people put into things.” Looking forward, Tait said the applications and terms of reference for community grants will have to be reviewed and updated. “The whole grant situation with the district needs to be examined.” Tait also stated a workshop may be held next year to inform applicants on the difference on operating and capital costs, so that people will understand what can and cannot be funded. “You don’t want anyone to be disappointed.” This year, local societies requested about $104,000 in total, when only $65,000 was available.

Air & water, the two things we most need- a few minutes without air & we are done, a few days without water, likewise. Yet these two items, which we so desperately need, we have been treating with disdain, as if there was no end to them. We have been treating them carelessly at best – at worst as a dumping ground. We now know we cannot continue this practice. Christians should be re-reading our creation story with an eye to our understanding of stewardship, which currently is pretty Àexible, meaning as long as it is for human use, ill treatment of our planet, OUR HOME, is ok. The crisis we face today would seem to indicate the need for a much broader interpretation of our scriptures, one that would include all of creation, one that would recognize the connectedness of all. Currently we are fouling the air we breathe at an incredible rate & as for our useable fresh water it is a disaster happening ON OUR WATCH. I have no idea what my grand children will have to resort to for their water needs. Just to keep you focused, all the above has made no mention of the state of the world’s oceans.

Land Use and Environment Committee recommendations: Minimum Statutory Frontage Exemptions for the following properties were exempted:2727 Phillips Road; 6958/6960 Grant Road; 2554 Sooke River Road. Exemptions were not given to property at 2700 Sunriver Way. Mayor Wendal Milne said this subdivision application had to go through the rezoning and public process and the request for an exemption was premature. A land swap has not yet been completed. He said they had to look at the state of the agreement with the developer and more information was needed. Councillor Herb Haldane stated there are still issues with sports fields and remediation. Council Meeting Webcast: Council approved webcasting of council meetings to the public. Councillor Maja Tait was opposed stating she had an issue
with the way this went about. She felt there could have been a Sooke-based solution and it was a waste of money. Mayor Wendal Milne said that council was informed and this item had been discussed at three Finance and Administration Committee meetings. He said the district website does not have the capacity for this type of webcasting. Councillor Rick Kasper said this is a highly effective record of what happens at council meetings. “It’s a clear record of what decisions we made and what we meant,”said Kasper. “We’re very much behind the times, and I stand by the recommendation. We need to get out of the Dark Ages.” A report was received from staff in regard to complaints by neighbours of the proposed blasting and rock crushing,etc. at the Spiritwood development 2150 Melrick Place, 7000 Melrick Place and 7044 Maple Park Terrace.

S
heldon Crawford is accustomed to challenging himself. As a military police officer at CFB Esquimalt and with a 2008 tour of Afghanistan under his belt, the 25-year-old corporal understands the mental and physical strength required to get the job done. But when he trades in his uniform for cycling shorts this fall to conquer the 1,000-kilometre Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, Crawford will be thinking of the hundreds of B.C. children diagnosed with cancer who struggle with much greater challenges every day. “I remember "I remember seeing the Tour de Rock, it was seeing the Tour de a big thing growing up on the Island," Crawford Rock. It was a big said. "It's an amazing cause, and cancer is that someone so young shouldn't have thing growing up on something to go through." the Island.” Crawford is one of two military police officers participating in this year's tour – the other is – Cpl. Sheldon Cpl. David Thompson, who works out of CFB Crawford Comox. The roster includes 14 police officers, two members of the media and two special guests. Since its inception in 1998, Tour de Rock has raised more than $16.6 million for the Canadian Cancer Society. The money is earmarked for pediatric cancer research and also helps fund Camp Goodtimes, a medically supervised summer retreat for kids dealing with cancer. "It gives the kids and their families the opportunity to have fun and not worry about chemotherapy and all their medical appointments," Crawford said after he visited the Maple Ridge camp last week. Crawford's personal fundraising goal is $12,000, although he hopes to raise more He's already managed to collect $7,000, including $4,000 from a concert at the Pacific Fleet Club in Victoria. "It's an excellent opportunity to give back and see some of the Island," he said.

First responder protection law clashes with privacy rights Bill not useful, says privacy watchdog Kyle Slavin Black Press
B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner is slamming a law aimed at ensuring that provincial first responders have more peace of mind for their health and safety. Elizabeth Denham says the Emergency Intervention Disclosure Act, has a “serious impact on the privacy rights of individuals.” Bill 39, which was passed in May, allows police officers, firefighters and paramedics to seek court orders to access someone else’s medical records if the first responder has come into contact with bodily fluids. “A lot of members in the course of their duty are bitten, stuck with a hypodermic needle, they get into an altercation and there’s an exchange of blood – you yourself may be cut or the suspect may be bleeding,” said Saan-
Elizabeth Denham —Commissioner
ich police chief Mike Chadwick. “It’s going to be for those types of situations where … you don’t know whether they have a communicable disease like HIV, or Hep C or Hep B.” Chadwick acknowledged that in instances where a first responder contacts bodily fluid, the other individual typically co-operates and provides relevant medical information. Bill 39 is to access the medical records of those who don’t co-operate. Denham says that the bill will not be useful, as there are “very few instances where emergency responders contract communicable diseases.” “Government should only contemplate a pri-
vacy intrusion of this nature where there is a significant demonstrated need,” she wrote in a letter to Margaret MacDiarmid, minister of labour, citizens’ services and open government. “Any initiative that limits (an individual’s right to control their bodily integrity) must strike a balance between the reasonableness of restricting an individual’s liberties with the commensurate need to infringe them. I do not see such a balance within Bill 39.” At a press conference Tuesday held at Saanich fire hall No. 1, Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong, surrounded by 27 of the region’s first responders, championed the bill, spearheaded by KelownaLake Country Liberal MLA Norm Letnick. “There are issues of privacy that are still there, but the worst thing is that you’re exposed and you don’t know what you have,” she said. “And you are maybe taking a number of medications that you don’t need to take because you don’t know what you’ve been exposed to.” In her letter, Denham

writes that the time it will take for a judge to make a decision will be well past the ideal “immediate post-exposure treatment” timeline. “It would likely be several weeks before (a first responder) would receive test results indicating whether an individual they had been in contact with had a communicable disease,” she wrote. “This would essentially negate any benefit to the emergency responder from a compelled test result.” Oak Bay deputy police chief Kent Thom says the legislation is not meant as a privacy invasion, but as a means to protect first responders who are just doing their jobs. “It’ll give our members more confidence in the fact that they’re a little bit better protected, and their families and the general public will be, too” he said. “It simply puts our members in a better position when they are out there doing what is required to keep the community safe.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

Recruits hard to find and keep Recruiting firefighters is an issue all across the country. Sooke is no exception and the local paper writing about fire hall expenses is not the reason. Fire fighting in Canada, writes about the struggles all across Canada in recruiting volunteers to fill vacancies. The number of hours spent training volunteers is incredible. It is a big commitment and many cannot afford to take that much time (and money) away from their families. Many volunteers pay out of their own pocket to get specialized training. Family and relationship Most are a common reason communities issues for exiting the service. Every fire department cannot that relies on volunteer or afford career paid on-call firefighters cites firefighters... difficulty attracting and retaining members. Sooke is not unique. What makes it difficult in Sooke is the fact that most career-aged men and women may live in Sooke but they work in Victoria or the West Shore. They just aren’t around during the day to respond to any calls. This can also cause stress in the workplace. Belt-tightening on the municipal level is definitely a factor. Most communities cannot afford career firefighters, even though this would be the preference. In many communities, these highly-trained volunteers are selected for career positions when they do become available. They are sought after and welcomed in any town/city they happen to live in. Being a firefighter is much more than fighting fires. They are also first responders attending to vehicle accidents, rescues and fires. They have big responsibilities, big time commitments and they are a crucial. We do value them.

It has just been reported that The Land Conservancy is broke and can’t pay their taxes for land around the Sooke Potholes. There is something amiss when an organization can purchase land without a sustainable income. When you rely on the generosity of people, it can be an uphill struggle to continue to keep asking for more. Many may

You may also be given the opportunity to learn more and hold a larger number of responsibilities than you would have in the city, as there are generally fewer staff at small town operations. The experience you receive in a small town as a permanent, full-time employee will bulk up your resume for job applications in the city. The downsides include starting new, adjusting to small town life, and leaving behind family, friends and the city’s bright lights. Small towns also offer a different forms of entertainment, which some people can or can’t embrace. Staying in the city and fighting for a place in the work place is an admirable ambition. Some succeed, but many of us don’t. To write off a small town is to lose out on opportunities. How much do you want to do what you do, if you wouldn’t be willing to make a few sacrifices along the way? Sharron Ho is a reporter for the Sooke News Mirror.
agree and fight for the cause, but words are cheap, it’s money that speaks the loudest. Perhaps it is time to take a look at the pay packages. The audited financial statements for 2011 show $2.3 million for salaries, wages, etc. If they expect people to contribute their money then perhaps the paid executive should be contributing their
time as well. After all, it is about saving the land isn’t it? The District of Sooke cannot run on idealogy nor should TLC. Everyone has to pay their taxes, whether it is a good cause or not. They never applied for any tax exemptions nor should they if they have well-paid staff. The cause is a good one, it’s just one good deed and one good salary too many.

Words spoken in haste Congratulations to Coun. Rick Kasper, chair of the Finance and Administration Committee for the ongoing review of council grants and expendidtures - the process is long overdue and accountability and purpose of those who seek public hand-outs should be investigated. After all, this is taxpayers money and council must exercise due diligence and control of money within its control. I agree that the District of Sooke should not be the only body contributing to Sooke Region Tourist Association; the donated sum of $20,000 is substantial and others who reap the benefits in our tourist area should share the cost. Frederique Philip’s reported saying the chair was “lying” is reprehensible and she should apologize to him and council; no doubt that she has helped promote tourism and business within our community but is she the only one who has done so? Is she alone in having extensive knowledge of the tourist scene ? Sooke Chamber of Commerce manager, Kari Osselton, seems to lack a sense of proportion and perhaps modesty in her rebuke, ‘If we are not doing these things, who would be?’ Well, Kari, we have

Ever heard of Sooke Lions Clubs or Sooke Rotary Club ? Sadly, these incidents portray an attitude of expectation from some business members in our community perhaps from a cosy relationship with the former council. Public money should not, in my opinion as a taxpayer, be used to subsidize commercial activities; if council deems to enter a partnership with a business or service agency, using its
discretionary powers, then that is another thing. There certainly must be room to promote functions and services for the benefit of all Sooke citizens, but the “gravy train” has to stop. Thank you Coun. Rick Kasper and committee members for taking the flack! Keep on going! Mr. E. Anderson Sooke

Council open mike for citizens The legacy of this great community and many communities throughout Canada are very similar when it comes to volunteers and the reasons for volunteering. Whatever your reasons are for taking the time to volunteer you are part of a fraternity of volunteers that came before you and will keep coming long after you are gone. I truly believe most people who volunteer are authentic and generous with the best of intentions for the community. The problem is when any organization requires tax dollars to operate, funding requirements can complicate the process. These funding rules are to protect everybody but can seem overwhelming to the individual donating time. Hopefully most people can see the bigger picture. In youth sports there is a criminal record check to be a coach, all because of the very slight possibility that someone is not well suited for that volunteer position. So, if the volunteers of the fire department want to understand budget issues, then please come to the budget process or any regular meeting, we have an open mike at the end of each one for questions. As for the chamber group that showed up last week, well, let’s just say you need to work on your presentation. As you can see, I am working on my own delivery. Herb Haldane Sooke
LETTERS Slow down for wildlife This morning I witnessed a young animal suffer a slow and painful death due to an inconsiderate driver. It’s a fact that deer have become a nuisance due to their increasing numbers and will be accidentally struck and killed from time to time. However, I was shocked to see a local vehicle fail to slow down or stop and wholly neglect to look around after a fawn dashed across the road. Traffic was moving slowly on Sooke Road with plenty of following space in order for him to come to a complete stop. As residents of the Island know, where there is one deer there are others nearby. Sure enough a second fawn followed close behind and was struck, suffering a badly broken leg. I watched it stagger back to its mother and it was clear there was no hope for its survival. Please slow down and take a quick look around when animals are on the road, signal animal presence to oncoming traffic by flashing your headlights if necessary and remember that we share this wonderful, untamed place with wildlife that deserves our attention while driving.

Solutions for pipeline safety For economic reasons, the Northern Gateway Pipeline is a no-brainer for
protection of the shareholders, the insurance companies, the taxpayers and the environment. It would also be a no-brainer that the company building the pipeline is a bit of upgrading, so my letter to Enbridge would be: Dear Enbridge, Could you please institute the following items: 1. All pipe, crossing water ways and sensitive area be “doubled-hulled.” 2. An innovative design be established to produce demonstrably an earthquake-proof system. 3. That automatic shutoff occur during any seismic event. 4. Doubling of the required number if sensors along the line. 5. A progressive maintenance regime be incorporated that, if there is a suspected crack, the default us to treat it as a “confined” crack, and the pipe be repaired and reinforced at that site. 6. That “you” Enbridge; partner “your” proposed pipeline with some world class company that has a appropriate track record and the required expertise. How Enbridge ever got an insurance company to pay out on a 2010 spill claim for $750 million in Michigan, that was caused by incompetence and negligence on Enbridge’s part, can only be explained if Enbridge was the owner of the insurance company. It is better toapproach a problem by identifying real concerns and to apply well-reasoned argument and fixes. Just have a reaction as though it were an

Council business As you both witnessed last night District of Sooke’s council meeting, I want to share with you this: I don’t think the webcam was in place yet, as I would really like to have every stakeholder in the tourist industry be able to watch how some of our councillors think of economic development. I think Mike Hicks should ask the District of Sooke to put some money down for the Juan De Fuca EDC as Avatar Grove in Port Renfrew brings a lot of tourists (consumers) to the region and most of them go through Sooke! Or maybe they need to only take the Circle Route from the Cowichan side and not even go through Sooke, avoid the circle. Working together, no matter what association we belong to, makes us stronger, a foreign concept for some of the councillors it appears. Mr. Kasper doesn’t seem to understand that joining the dots is more important than keeping everyone disconnected. Frederique Philip Sooke

History: Bert Mugford and the bell While today a cast iron bell has pride of place suspended over the entrance to Sooke Region Museum, in its lifetime stretching over more than 100 years, it has had two earlier careers. It was the son of a Sooke pioneer family who played a significant role in its recent life. Bertram Mugford was one of two sons born to R. J. and Janie Mugford who built and operated the Mugford Board and Lodging House at the corner of Sooke Road and Church Road (where the Chevron station stands today). R J Mugford, from Newfoundland, had a seafaring background and transported supplies from Victoria to Sooke by schooner. Bert recalled that when he was a young man back from his service in the Great War, as he stood watching the construction of the Johnson Street bridge in Victoria his eye was caught by the Canadian Coast Guard vessel Estevan berthed nearby. He

ment responsibilities. It was when the vessel was berthed at Comox that he noticed a steam locomotive on a siding along the railway line that hauled to the wharf; it appeared to be destined for scrap. Not wasting a
minute, Bert thought quickly and found a way to relieve the locomotive of its bell. What Bert had in mind was the Sooke School, and sure enough, on his next trip back home to Sooke, the big heavy clanging bell began its next career, calling pupils to class. The Sooke Elementary School building that we see today facing Highway 14 is a replacement for the building that once mounted the old locomotive bell. When it was time for changes in the school structures, sharp-eyed workmen at the site saved the bell from the trash heap. It was brought to the museum, a manila rope attached, and it now graces the front entrance. Today the foot-long wrought iron clapper striking the bell’s rim signals changes of tour stations as happy groups

LOOKING BACK A trip through the Sooke News Mirror time machine: Aug. 2, 1989 Sports community mourns passing of Wayne Cornbill in mill accident You can tell, from the moment you enter the comfortable Cornbill residence on Otter Point Road, that the late Wayne Cornbill’s social life revolved around sports. There are team pictures all over the living room, of Wayne standing proudly in the back row of hockey or ball teams that he coached and an especially good one of him grinning happily, one hand raised in a victory salute, the other holding a beer as a member of the Sooke Hawks slo-pitch team. Wayne loved sports, both as a coach and a participant and he especially enjoyed all of the friendly camaraderie that goes with it, says Cathy, his wife of 17 years. “And he loved his job too,” she said. The job, as a plumber
and pipefitter, was to lead to Wayne’s tragic death at the Crofton Pulp Mill last Friday morning. He was working on a renovation project on the mill digesters when, according to the job foreman Bill Campbell, he responded to a request from another worker to connect two extension cords servicing a 575-volt power panel, but the plug in one cord was apparently faulty and Wayne was electrocuted on the spot. Aug. 4, 1993 Sooke artists named best overall at Fine Arts ‘93 A crowd of 1,500 people filled the Sooke Arena Friday for the opening of Fine Arts ‘93. This was the first chance for people to see the work that was chosen by jury and to hear who won the first round of prizes. The Myfanwy Pavlic Award for best overall piece as chosen by the jury was presented to Edith, Victor and Carey Newman of Sooke for their collaborative

This is the fifth time Edith’s work has appeared at the show, as has Carey’s --- whose impressive raven mask is drawing admiring looks this year. Victor Newman’s work has appeared every year since the show’s inception. The Audrey Johnson Award for best photograph as chosen by the jury went to Tanya Pearson for “Entrance to the Kastro.”
“As usual, this year’s show has an outstanding collection of work from artists from throughout the Capital Region,” said Lee Boyko, Fine Arts co-ordinator. Aug. 2, 2000 Propane mishap torches Shirley home A Seaview Road home sustained an estimated $100,000 in damage after a suspected failure in a propane truck filling line caused the home to catch fire Thursday afternoon. Firefighters from Shirley, Otter Point and
Sooke fire departments were called to the 1017 Seaview Road home around 1 p.m. after the exterior of the home was set ablaze by a cloud of propane that ignited. Sooke Deputy Fire Chief Steve Sorensen said thehosereportedlyburst while a representative from Vancouver Island Propane Services Ltd. was filling the propane tank. The gas then escaped and found a source of ignition, possibly the pilot light of a propane fireplace at the residence, Sorensen explained. The blast threw the VIPS representative 20 feet black, dislocating his knee. The rep, a NorthSaanichvolunteer firefighter, popped his knee back into place, climbed into the truck and moved it to the bottom of the driveway, Sorensen said. Aug. 6, 2003 If Kerr won’t make second stab, Hicks primed to run as MLA A local businessman would gladly leap at the chance of representing
the Malahat-Juan de Fuca riding if incumbent MLA Brian Kerr decides not to run in the 2005 provincial election. “I would love to seek the nomination... only if Mr. Kerr’s not interested,” said Port Renfrew fishing lodge and Sooke B&B owner/ operator Mike Hicks. But it appears Kerr hasn’t lost interest, despite recently cashing in on some of his Whistler property. “I still got lots of things to do,” said Kerr, his main priorities as a MLA being to get the economy rolling and tackle the deficit. “I haven’t got all my agenda complete.” In June, Kerr sold the only independent grocery store in Whistler, Nesters Market and Pharmacy, to the Jim Pattison Group. Kerr, an accountant by trade, still owns land in the community where some of the 2010 Winter Olympics will be staged. When asked how much property he owned, all Kerr would say is, “A bit.”
He was also coy about whether he would take a second run as MLA, particularly since he still has two years left in his term. “Call me a year from now,” Kerr said. August 3, 2005 Sooke Sponsoring Spirit Bear The Spirit Bear or Kermode bear is a rare and wondrous creature. Widely recognized for its unique white colour, the Spirit Bear is the stuff of legend. First Nations people state that the Raven, their creator, made these bears white as a reminder of the time when the world was pure and clean and covered with snowdrifts and ice blue glaciers. Raven promised that these bears would live in peace an harmony forever. At the District of Sooke regular council meeting on July 24, council authorized $1,500 from the Sooke Outdoor Arts Program (SOAP) reserve fund to be used to co-sponsor a Spirit Bear.

‘I like painting places that people recognize because then there’s an emotional connection.’
those doors had memory of things heard, all the stories, and dreams and triumphs, each door could tell it’s own story,” Lucas said. Although the paintings feature a subtle abstract quality, they depict landscapes that are familiar like Muir Creek, the Juan de Fuca Strait, Tugwell Creek and the Sheringham Point lighthouse. “I try to have a lot of information and to have a story being told,” Lucas said. “I like painting places that people recognize because then there’s an emotional connection… they can

The show will be Lucas’ first in Sooke this year. “I’m excited, but also relieved because of the amount of work and the amount of creative energy gone to make this happen,” Lucas said of the exhibit. The 46 year old sold his first painting at the tender age of 12, but

Christopher Lucas will show his work at the South Shore Gallery and an opening is scheduled for tonight from 12 to 7 p.m.
GET HOOKED ON ART!
In a collection of 40 paintings, local artist Christopher Lucas, depicts the lush forests and crashing waves from Sooke to Port Renfrew. The show called Cupboards in Memory will run from July 25 to Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Gallery West in the South Shore Gallery on 2046 Otter Point Rd. The artist reception will be held on Aug. 1 from 12 to 7 p.m. The colourist impressionist, acrylic paintings carry bold colours that are swiped across canvas or antique cupboard door surfaces in detailed and rich strokes. The cupboard doors, which still have their original hinges attached, are a new endeavour that Lucas incorporated into the show, after receiving them from a recycling job. Instead of perceiving the 100-year-old cupboard doors as trash, Lucas saw potential for art, which led to the theme for his show -- a collection of memories
Lucas has a command of water colour and oil painting. Born and raised in Edmonton, Alta., Lucas moved to Vancouver Island three and a half years ago, and said the surrounding area is like none other. “The West Coast is a very, very unique landscape, there’s nothing that really compares to it,” he said. “I very much feel at home here on the West Coast and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places to live.”
D
began his craft early on in his childhood. “It was pretty obvious to my parents that I was interested in painting and the arts and they were very encouraging and supportive,” he said, adding art supplies were given for Christmas and birthdays for years to come. To date, Lucas has done about 4,500 paintings that have shown all over the world, from Banffshire, Scotland to Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan to cities throughout North America. In addition to acrylic,

SSES salmon derby on long weekend Sharron Ho Sooke News Mirror
The Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society will be holding their ninth annual Chinook Salmon Derby on Saturday, Aug. 4 to Sunday, Aug. 5. According to Mel Hull, society president, approximately half of the 350 available tickets have been sold. “It’s a little slow this year, we’re not sure why,” he said. For any latecomers, tickets will be on sale until Aug. 3, and are available at Eagle Eye Outfitters, the Crab Shack, Sooke Marine Centre, Island Outfitters and Westshore Sporting Goods. The derby, which brings in the bulk of the hatchery’s operating funds, has grown throughout the years into an event that attracts fishermen and families from across the province. “We get a few people from other parts of the

Shirley to Race Rocks in Victoria. The derby will begin at daylight for both days, but will end at 7 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday. The weigh-in station will
be open throughout the same hours in the empty lot across from Evergreen Centre. On Sunday there will be a wind up steak dinner at the Sooke Flats for all participants, where awards will be distributed. There are about 35 fish prizes, and the top cash prize is $5,000, followed by $2,000 for second place. Various other cash prizes in smaller values will also be awarded. Young seafarers will be awarded for their hard work, regardless of whether or not they reel in a winner. “We have lots of kids prizes,” Hull said. “We have it set up so that pretty much every kid that fishes gets as prize.” The Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society currently operates the Jack Brooks Hatchery -- named after the society’s founder -- at Rocky Creek, with an objective to sustain local salmon populations.

Local kids hold united front against juvenile cancer Tour de Rock riders and their junior counterparts worked together to raise money for the noble cause Sharron Ho Sooke News Mirror
Local kids gathered together, along with Tour de Rock riders, to raise awareness and money for cancer research in front of Village Food Markets on July 28. Every child remembers holding their first lemonade stand, but for seven-year-old Daisy Irwin the purpose was greater: a cure for cancer. Daisy, a Sooke resident and cancer survivor, was diagnosed with two types of infant leukemia at just 10 weeks old. The prognosis was grim, with Daisy being given only a five per cent chance of survival. After undergoing rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at six months old, Daisy has now been cancer free for six and a half years. “She’s a miracle,” said her mother, Emma Irwin, adding you would never know the boisterous and outgoing child ever had cancer. “You just wouldn’t know and that’s amazing.” Also involved in

Tour de Roc media rider, Kyle Slavin, helps prepare a cup of lemonade with his junior rider and cancer survivor, Daisy Irwin. the lemonade stand was Daisy’s older sister, Molly Irwin, 8, and Owen Campbell, 7, whose 19-month-old baby sister, Molly Campbell, recently overcame infant leukemia. According to Daisy, the lemonade stand was an effort to raise money for Owen’s upcoming Tour de Rock head shave. The precocious child,
who was dressed in a Mountie red serge coat, and wide-brimmed Stetson hat for the occasion, had one message for her peers faced with cancer. “I hope they can be a cancer survivor, too. I just really want them to live.” Daisy, who has been a part of Tour de Rock for about six years, is currently a junior rider
to media rider, Kyle Slavin and Const. Steven Martindale. After covering the event as a reporter with the Saanich News, Slavin, 24, jumped at the opportunity to become involved. He said the gruelling bike rides that reach up to 200-kilometres per week are secondary to the rewards that come from meeting the
young people who find the silver lining when faced with the formidable disease. “Daisy is my junior rider, and it is so, so neat being able to see them just act like kids, despite the fact that I know that they had cancer in the past,” he said. “It doesn’t seem to affect them in any way.”

He said it has been an emotional experience to witness children recount their personal struggles with cancer, “something a seven year old shouldn’t be able to do.” The Tour de Rock is an intiative of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer. The riders will cycle from one end of Vancouver Island to the
other from Sept 22 to Oct. 5, covering 1,000 kilometres in an effort to raise money for pediatric cancer research and programs for children with a history of cancer.

The Sooke Loggers hosted their first two home games at Art Morris Park on July 28 against the Nanaimo Wheatchiefs. The Loggers were welcomed with full bleachers, and local ball enthusiasts dotted along the green of the ball park. About 250 fans came out to view the games. “We were happy with the turn out, we knew

We’re going to try to get more games out here next year some how, it’s just that we have to get more All Star teams to come play.” The Loggers played two exhibition games against the Nanaimo Wheatchiefs, earning a win of 8-1 in five innings for the first game, and a loss of 2-1 in the second.

Kids set up their Optimist sail boats and prepare to launch into the Sooke basin behind Mariner’s Village in the first Mobile Optimist Sailing School class, which ran from July 9-13.
Sharron Ho Sooke News Mirror
The Canadian Yachting Association certified Mobile Optimist Sailing School will be returning for a second week from Aug. 13 -17, after the first class met with great success. The introduction of a second class provides validation that there is a desire to develop a local sailing school in Sooke, according to long-time sailor and MOSS facilitator, Candice Suchocki Weir. “The feedback that I’ve had from parents and children so far has been awesome,” Weir said. “This is very much an interest gauging year, but based on what I’ve seen, it makes sense to put together some formal plans.” In the fall, Weir said interest groups will gather and decide on whether to institute a sailing school. According to Weir, the MOSS program is designed to build a sailing legacy in the communities they visit. Profits after expenses of coaching fees and transport of boats are donated back to communities if there is an interest to develop a
local sailing program. Because the first sailing class, which ran from July 9-13, sold out, Sooke was able to purchase an Optimist sail boat at a discounted cost from MOSS, which was priced at about $2,000. Weir said after holding the MOSS program a few more times, Sooke will hopefully accumulate enough funds to purchase three more boats to start up a modest operation. “The community of Sooke definitely has an opportunity to pick up a couple of boats,” she said.”Ideally in the third year, we’ll be set up to launch something small, but certainly an independent sailing school in Sooke.” The MOSS program teaches children, aged 6-14, water safety and the basics of sailing and kayaking. The program is organized through BC Sailing, and costs $250 per student. To register and find out more information, check out: www. moss. bcsailing.bc.ca

Commuter ignores ringing cellphone; friend forced to wait 12:28 for return call Friend says: “Call me back when you get this message.” Tanya Kooner A Saanich man deliberately chose to ignore his ringing cellphone in the middle of his afternoon commute yesterday. The incident occurred near the intersection of McTavish Road and Highway 17 at 5:23pm. “It all happened so fast,” driver Tom Leggett said. “I mean . . . it rang four times. Maybe it was five. I don’t know. I started to reach for it – I guess you just go into automatic, you know? You don’t have time to think about it. You just react.”
“I’m not going to lie to you – I was going to answer it.” But then Leggett had a change of heart. “I don’t know what it was – I just said to myself, whoever it is, they can wait,” he said. “I mean, I’m driving. Traffic is kinda nuts. I should keep my mind on the road and concentrate on what I’m doing. That’s what voicemail is for, right?” The decision turned out to be a fateful one for Leggett’s friend Mike Henrickson, who was forced to wait an agonizing twelve minutes and 28 seconds longer for Leggett to get home before getting in touch. “Actually, it wasn’t
agonizing at all,” Henrickson said defiantly. “It was only – what – twelve minutes or so. I mean, he was driving – I totally get it. I left a voicemail message. He called me back when he got home. It wasn’t a big deal.” Leggett confirmed the decision to let his cellphone go to voicemail made absolutely no difference to his Friday-night plans, nor to his social life in general. “Yeah, me and Mikey hooked up after dinner,” Leggett said. “We watched the game together – it didn’t seem like it was a big deal for him. He didn’t even mention it.” When asked about how he felt about play-

ing second fiddle to his friend’s safety, Henrickson was evasive and combative. “Listen, I mean, honestly; I don’t
know why you guys are interviewing me,” Henrickson said. “Really, it was no big deal. Now leave me alone.”

Subsequent phone calls and voicemail messages to Henrickson’s cellphone were not returned.
Son holds ladder for Dad; complains Dr. Ian Pike job contravenes allowance agreement Father defends character-building effort. Lee Abbott An Oak Bay preteen’s busy social schedule was thrown into chaos when he was forced to hold a ladder for his father on Saturday morning. The incident was sparked by an attempt to clean the gutters on the family home. “I’ve been meaning to clean the gutters for a couple months now,” the father said. “I guess I could have done it myself. But it’s pretty high up there – I mean, what if the ladder slipped?” “This is, like, totally lame,” the son complained. “Tommy and Jimmy were going to the mall – I couldn’t go with them because I was stuck here. Helping Dad.”
“I mean, I’m not even getting paid for this,” the son continued. “It’s like, totally not even part of my allowance. It’s like child labour or something!” The father ignored his son’s calls for fair and equitable compensation. “Look, you use a ladder, you need to stay safe. You need someone to hold it on the bottom. It’s as simple as that,” he said. “Besides, helping your old man builds character.” When asked to confirm whether his character had in fact been built by the 17 minutes of unpaid labour, the son accused the father of sidestepping the issue. “You’re kidding me, right?” he said while Michael McIntyre scowling and putting Area pre-teen re-creates “lame” Saturday morning. sunglasses on.
Dr. Ian Pike Director, B.C. Injury Research and Prevention Unit
When we use the word “accident,” what do we really mean? The word accident suggests an event that just “happens.” Something out of our control. Something there was nothing we could do about. It was just one of those things. That’s just not true. In fact, most of the injuries that happen in B.C. aren’t really “accidents” at all. They’re predictable and preventable. Most of the time, we can stop such injuries from happening just by thinking twice about what we’re doing, and by asking ourselves wheth-
er we should take appropriate precautions before we do. Now, I’m not suggesting we should be scared to leave the house in the morning. Or that we should all walk around wrapped in bubble-wrap. That’s no way to live. All I’m saying is that we need to change our attitude when it comes

Annual Stinking Fish Studio Tour begins Aug. 3 Pirjo Raits Sooke News Mirror
Y
our next drive into the countryside could become a sightseeing tour of some of the region’s best artists and craftspeople. Many of the artists on Southern Vancouver Island do not carry their work in stores and galleries but prefer to show their work in their studios. Drawing on the inspiration from their environment, 18 artists are coming together for the 10-day Stinking Fish Studio Tour — a combination of stunning landscapes and eclectic art studios. Twice a year, many of the same artists, open their studio doors, talk to people about their art, and hopefully sell some art directly to those on the tour. It’s a unique opportunity to see how and where things are made and get to know the creators of the art directly. This year’s summer Stinking Fish Studio Tour will feature a wealth of fine art, from ceramic sculptors and potters scattered throughout the Sooke, East
Sooke and Metchosin area to textiles, mixed media paintings and mosaics, monotypes and woodworking. It fills the senses and sensibilities of those who love and appreciate art, and the art is some of the best available on Vancouver Island. Maps are available on the website: www.stinkingfishstudiotour.com for those who might wish to travel through the region to seek out the artists’ studios. They have whimsical names such as Saladpatch Studio, ‘Chosin Pottery, Winged Horse Studio, The Boar’s Bristle, Brown Dog Studio and C.M.T. Lab. An interesting aside would be to ask the artist how they came up with the name for their studio. Could be some interesting stories there. Each of the studios will be marked by number and feature the Stinking Fish logo. There is no charge to enter any studio and the browsing is free. Many of the members studios are open at other times and appointments can be made with the individual artist.
Dan Ross photo
Clockwise, artists featured in the Stinking Fish Studio Tour for summer 2012 are; guest Detlef Grundmann, Judy Dyelle, Jennifer Kivari and Doug McBeath.

In fact, preventable injuries are the leading cause of death for British Columbians between the ages of one and 44, and claim the lives of more children in the province than all other causes combined.
These injuries devastate lives. They also place an enormous burden on our health care system: at over $4 billion a year, the care and rehabilitation of victims of preventable injuries is one of the most significant costs to our provincial budget.
We want to get you thinking about risk and consequences. Every day, more than 1,100 British Columbians are injured seriously enough by predictable and preventable injuries to

Who we are Preventable is a group of companies, organizations and individuals that have come together to address this ongoing tragedy, and the incredible physical, emotional and financial toll it takes on our province.
We are a registered non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors that represents organizations including TELUS, Pacific Blue Cross, London Drugs, Insurance Bureau of Canada, BCAA Road Safety Foundation, Justice Institute of BC, WorkSafeBC and the BC Ministry of Labour. Our work is made possible through the financial and inkind support of over 80 other companies and organizations.
What we’re doing
Our goal is simple: to change the way British Columbians think about preventable injuries. By raising awareness, starting dialogue, and transforming social attitudes, we want to significantly reduce both the number and severity of preventable injuries in BC.
By staging provocative, unexpected events in provocative, unexpected places, we want to cut through the noise and get British Columbians thinking about risk and consequences. We want to challenge the idea that serious injuries only happen to “other people.” We want
We’ve invested considerable resources to develop a provincewide, multi-year strategy. Guided by research and best practices, we’ve developed an approach that we hope will help British Columbians connect the dots between their current attitudes and their current behaviour; between their understanding of the inherent risks and the burden of preventable injuries in the province.
to speak to that little part of you—that little voice inside your head—that knows that sometimes, bad things do happen.
We need your help The individuals, corporations and organizations that have joined our community share a concern about this growing epidemic. They also share a conviction that the situation can and must change. We invite all British Columbians to join Preventable and work with to us create a culture where we all look out for each other. Together we can reduce the burden of preventable injuries in BC. Join us. Visit preventable.ca.

Sitar grew up in the Czech Republic, where living thrifty was a large part of her upbringing. “We were raised on a really tight budget as a family and I learned how to live out of very little money and that’s how I continue to live,”
she said. “I think that there’s so much excess everywhere… It breaks my heart to see all the stuff that’s thrown away and just to be forgotten.” Sitar learned how to sew at just 12 years old, and has been designing

Models will be strutting down the catwalk on Saturday, Aug. 4 at the Sooke Fine Arts Show, clothed in items sutured together by local designers under the theme of ecofashion The Arts4Re-Fashion will be held from 7 to 9 p.m., and will feature the work of two Sooke designers Jenn Bell and Dana Sitar, along with fashion show organizer and stylist, Frederique Philip. The Arts4Re-Fashion will display garments designed from recycled clothing and outfits consisting of high quality, second-hand items fished out of Sooke’s own thrift stores. Philip said she hopes the show will encourage people to buy clothing second-hand, in addition to dispelling myths that used items are no longer valuable. “You can really find fantastic things secondhand,” she said, adding buying things secondhand leaves money for other endeavours. “We waste so much. We are a society of consuming and look at where it’s taking us.” Since her arrival in Sooke 32 years ago from France, Philip has maintained her stylish and eclectic European tastes on a budget, while at the same time being environmentally friendly by secondhand shopping. For Philip, scouring through thrift stores is not about shopping, but about a creative process -- finding items that will complement each other, and repurposing them into an outfit. “People say, ‘Well, you really like shopping.’ No, I don’t

John Wilkinson Dear Dad -- From the moment you were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer -- I know this sounds clichĂŠd -- but our lives changed forever. The ďŹ ve weeks that followed were equally as terrible. We all would have given our lives to save your life...but it wasn't to be.
COMING EVENTS
It’s been a year.... and we all miss you terribly... especially Mom. Anyone that knew you were very well aware that you and Mom had something very special. She struggles daily but we will help her through.... it’s hard though because all she wants is you. Sometimes when I explain to people that my Dad died... you can tell some people just think its a natural part of life.... but they obviously have no idea what it’s like to have a "Special Dad" or else they haven’t experienced this terrible feeling called grief. We've always been a very close knit family, unique with all of its wonderful journeys. Taken from us was the root of our family and how to recover is what we are all trying to learn to live with.

It is left to those who remain, Renate’s husband Fred, her children, Guenter and his wife Judy, Kristina and her daughters Courtenay and Kimberley, and Peter along with her many friends whom she touched through her life to ensure that her memory stays with us. Our deepest appreciation to Dr. Tracy Forsberg for being all that one could ever hope for in a Family Doctor. To the many extraordinary physicians, nurses and helpers who in so many ways aided at the Cancer Clinic by being constant in their care and skill over the past 7 years. By her (Renate’s) own wish, no service will be held but a celebration of a life so well lived will be held at a later date. In lieu of owers, you may leave a donation to the Sooke Hospice at the celebration of life.

Renate von Ilberg
To the great sadness of all who knew her, Renate von Ilberg, died on July 28 surrounded by her family at our home in Sooke. Renate’s ability to live each day fully, be it ďŹ lled with challenges or joy, was perhaps the most amazing of her many facets. It was one that she strove to share with as many of her family and her friends as possible, to the very end.

Cont’d from page B5 also like the aspect of using old things that people don’t need anymore and making new out of them.” On occasion, Sitar, now in her late 40s, has even unravelled sweaters to crochet and knit into new items. For the show, some of the items she will be displaying include a raincoat made from plastic bags and two dresses made without electricity, in other words, sewn by hand, solely in daylight. The object of the gruelling task, was simply to prove that she could. “I just wanted to prove to myself and to others that you can make beautiful things out of discarded clothing and make it into something beautiful…without needing anything but your hands and needle.” The fashion show will be covered by the Sooke Fine Arts Show admission fee, and will take place at SEAPARC along with the rest of the events.
