Boat launch options to be considered Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

The District of Sooke has been trying to decide how best to deal with the public boat launch and the parking fees. For the past while, the $10 fee has been collected by Jock’s Dock, but council wanted the district to have it go to tender. A Request for Proposals was sent out and there were three options put forward and looked at by council on June 24. Option one was by the Juan de Fuca Marine Rescue Society. Their proposal was to collect fees by donation and annual fees. They would provide “other” services at the boat launch. Option two was by a private numbered company. They proposed the installation of a pay station with revenue distributed to proponent 65 per cent, district 10 per cent and non-profits 25 per cent. The company also proposed other revenue streams including parking on property located on West Coast Road, coupon marketing and a dock side amenity operation. The third option was to have the district pur-

chase a multi-station pay station and maintain operation of the boat launch. A fourth option is being proposed by Terrance Martin and the Southern Island Recreation Assoc. No details were given. Council discussed the options. Councillor Kevin Pearson said option one was a private enterprise. “Taxpayers have already funded it,” he said. “I would like to see something go to salmon enhancement.” Coun. Bev Berger questioned how they were going to address parking. Her concern was echoed by Coun. Herb Haldane who said, “parking is the biggest issue of the whole operation. The district can’t take care of the parking. “If we were going to run it ourselves, we shouldn’t have put it out to tender,” said Haldane. Mayor Wendal Milne said CAO Gord Howie has some experience in this from Prince Rupert. District of Sooke council will have another look at these options at the next council meeting on July 8.

Heroes among us

On November 22, 2012, two men risked their lives to save others in a serious head on collision on Sooke Road. Off duty Sooke volunteer firefighter Tom Warran and resident Brian Ruddick were on their way home from work when they came upon the accident cene. Both drivers were trapped in their vehicles and both vehicles had caught fire. Warran extinquished the fire and both men provided aid until the arrival of emergency rescue personnel. Sooke Fire Chief Steve Sorensen said this was one of the most difficult extrications the department had ever attended. Affter many months of surgery and rehabilitation, the trapped driver, Graeme Harder, took part in presenting the Good Samaritans with awards. Pictured left to right are Sooke volunteer firefighter Tom Warran, Fire Chief Steve Sorensen, Graeme Harder, and Brian Ruddick.

Generosity reigns in Sooke

Golf cart needed for Canada Day Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

Do you have a spare golf cart floating around? Do you know someone who has? The Sooke fire department is scouting around for a kind donation of a golf cart, to be used for one day only. They will be providing onsite patrol services and first aid at the Sooke Flats on Monday,

July 1 for the Canada Day celebrations. Their day begins at 10 in the morning and continues through the fireworks and ends only when the last wandering reveller has left the building. Or, in this case, the Flats. Besides keeping everyone healthy and safe, the Sooke Fire Department will be providing inflatables to entertain the children.

Thumbs up To All The students who entered the “what the Beach means to me” essay contest. winners will be listed in the next edition.

If you have a lead on a golf cart and want to give a little back to the ones who look after us so nicely, Sooke Fire would love to hear from you. While delivery would be nice, pick-up can be arranged. If you can help contact Fire Chief Steve Sorensen, at 250-6425422 or send him an email, at ssorensen@ sooke.ca

Zoe raised $100 for the Sooke Food Bank and her ticket was selected for Principal for the Day. On the right is Amy Huston who stands in as vice principal. The school raised $800 for the Sooke Food Bank on Twoonie Tuesday, representing $2 for each student. As principal, Zoe has proclaimed a party, an extra recess and will be ensuring all students get out of the school for the annual fire drill. She also made the school announcements on Friday, June 21. Principal Laurie Szadowski said it was easy for the students and staff to get on board a project like this. Part of the school’s mission statement is “Neighbours Working Together.” Right, Mayor Wendal Milne shakes hands with Jason Dumont of Dumont Tire in recognition of his 20 years as a 20-year supporter of the Welcome Wagon. On hand at the presentation of a plaque were Welcome Wagon’s Liz Kreeft and Judy MacNeill. Dumont Tire, located on Otter Point Road, first started with one employee on Idlemore and now employs three mechanics, one tire person and two boss/managers. The business has gone from tires sales and installation to full mechanical services. The Welcome Wagon provides newcomers to Sooke with information on what Sooke has to offer.

SUNSCREENS

The SPF on sunscreen stands for

Ron Kumar

Pharmacist/Owner

Sun Protection Factor. The SPF value gives you a guide on how long you can stay in the sun without burning. For example, if you burn in 10 minutes without sunscreen and you apply a sunscreen with a SPF number of 15, you should be protected for up to 150 minutes. Sunscreens with SPF numbers higher than 15 work better for people who are fair-skinned, or work or play outdoors much of the day. Swimming and perspiration reduce the actual SPF value of many sunscreens... even those that are water resistant, so you have to reapply the product often. Make sure to shake the bottle before use and to apply at least 30 minutes before sun exposure.

Sooke Harbourside Lions presented cloth book bags, stuffies and books to the Sooke Transition House Society.

Sooke News Mirror

The Sooke Harbourside Lions have gone and done it again. Is that all they do, is give? Most recently, the Harbourside Lions gave the Sooke Transition House Society (STHS) a bundle of cloth bags, complete with books and stuffed animals with which to fill them. The effort, which was coordinated by Lion Stephanie Jenkins, easily fell into place. These perpetual good-deeders continually target areas that could stand a bit of improvement and without much ado and even less fanfare. “We’re always searching for a good bang for our buck, where our efforts as a group would be best,” said Jenkins. When Geri Pudwell showed up with her homecrafted book bags, the book project just took on a life of its own. The stuffed animals, said Jenkins, were included for comfort. As is their standard, they rally around an idea and quickly move

it from conception to accomplishment. Mission accomplished on the morning of June 13. Arlene Rees, the Executive Director at STHS, gratefully received these book bags, saying that the seeds of confidence and relationship are laid when parents read books to their children. Rees said many children come through the transition house without anything, and children with attachment issues find comfort in the tactile presence of a stuffed animal. As outlined on their website (sooketransitionhousesociety.

com), STHS provides emergency shelter for women and their children who are in crisis resulting from family violence. Rees detailed their program, saying they offer 30-day emergency shelter for women fleeing abusive situations. They assist with counselling for women and children to address what Rees refers to as the “constellation of associated issues,” which include histories addiction, abuse and low selfesteem. STHS also has a program in place to work with girls, nurturing the growth of confidence

and self esteem so they can better guard against unhealthy relationships in life. This program, Young Women of Spirit, is open to all girls. When asked if the Sooke Harbourside Lions ever get any rest, Lion Diane Kent said this particular Lions club has over 50 women in it. “If you have enough women, you can work on your passion.” Many hands make for little work, with big impact. They do slow down somewhat in July and August, though they promised periodic resurgences even in these slower months. Submitted photo

From the bean to the cup Coffee roaster sticking it out for six years Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

or someone who never enjoyed a cup of coffee until he was 37, David Evans is doing pretty well in the coffee culture scene. Evans, the owner of The Stick in the Mud, said when he finally had a cup of coffee made with care, attention and good beans, he was hooked. The Stick, as it is referred to locally, is a gathering spot for those who enjoy their java. Located in a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, the Stick has been gathering steam for six years despite its location on Eustace Road. It has loyal customers who start their day with a coffee, latte, or whatever type of caffeine gets them jacked for the day. “I think we’re doing something different and people are willing to walk a block-and-ahalf,” said Evans. “This ‘terrible’ site is a great site.” Evans said a friend told him the site could be the best location or the worst. Well, it hasn’t proven to be the worst. Evans spent a lot of years doing other things. he worked in software development, radio, communication, landscaping and all kinds of other weird things. He has a degree in communications and knows how to market.

Pirjo Raits photo

The Stick in the Mud’s David Evans is helping support a small, independent coffee grower in Guatemala. He knows from radio that you need to keep changing things up to make it just a little different. He went from buying beans to roasting his own, expanding on his concept slowly but surely. He took courses, travelled, networked, learned what he needed to know and grew his business. All of this earned him a diverse customer base who arrive in stollers and scooters. This year Evans bought a Guatemalan coffee grower’s entire crop. His friend and coffee broker, Edwin Martinez from Bellingham, introduced him to an independent cof-

is to forge a stronger bond with the Guatemalan family and send his employees to the coffee farm for a week to gain awareness and respect for the farmer and the beans. “I want them to know what it takes to get a cup of coffee.” He wants to bring the Villatoro family to Sooke because he said they have no idea what happens here. “My goal is to let them know what we want in a cup of coffee,” said Evans. He also wants to give the farmer a steady income. Recently the Stick hired a baker to provide baked goods for

fee farm. Aurelio Villatoro has a small coffee farm called Las Lomas and this year he grew a little over 3,000 pounds of coffee. That’s 19 sacks worth. It’s all a part of Evans’ attempt to complete the circle of coffee from farmer to drinker… from seed to cup. “There is a disconnect between the seed and the cup,” said Evans. “Coffee is the most handled product in the world, the most traded.” He scoops up a handful of unroasted beans to emphasize that each bean in touched by human hands. His long term goal

themselves as well as to the Sooke River Store, all GMO free with good ingredients. “It’s mostly treats — healthy treats, real products.” The Stick is currently testing the market to see what customers want. Do they want GMO-free products, organic milk, gluten free products? A decision will be made soon, to coincide with the 6th anniversary. “Something about GMO just bugs me,” said Evans. “There is no GMO labelling in Canada and we have to end up being pro-active in everything. The government relies on the consumer to have this broad knowledge.” On Friday nights, there is usually some music playing at the Stick, they’re calling it Night Stick. It’s alcohol free and there is a small menu of items such as pizza to go along with the coffee/tea offerings. The walls in the Stick are a rotating art gallery with paintings selected by Elizabeth Tanner from the South Shore Gallery just around the corner. It’s kind of a neighbourhood thing said Evans. The sixth anniversary shindig, Stick Fest takes place on July 7 around noon. Lots happening in the two courtyards, including stuff for the little ones, said Evans. So what’s with all the Volkswagens toy cars around the place? Evans said his first vehicle was a ‘62 VW and he’s had about two dozen since then. “There’s no significance, it’s just an iconic symbol.”

Chamber Chatter At a recent meeting, the board of the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce made some significant changes to their operating profile to better position the organization for the balance of this year, and into the future. Randy Welters, who lead the organization in 2011, has returned to the chamber as president to work alongside current vice president Michael Nyikes, who will move into the president’s capacity in 2014. With the departure of former Executive Director Kari Osselton, the board is now preparing a strategic plan to expand the chamber’s resources and services to the business community. “With a new plan in place, we know we can do more to assist our chamber members and to show leadership in the community as a whole on vital economic issues. We will be working closely with the mayor and council’s priorities in urban renewal and economic development, and improving the overall health of the business community. Through this collaborative effort the chamber will have

a better idea of the professional resources required over the coming years needed to implement our ambitious plans which include a new portfolio of both an expanded membership and new services to those members,” said Welters. Joining the president and vice president in this new direction are: Treasurer Steven Knowles Secretary Naomi Ponech Director Rebecca Armitage Director Lorna Danylchuk Director Debra Johnston Director Karen Mason Director Frederique Philip Director Jeanette Wilford Over the past number of weeks the chamber has assisted the Mayor’s Advisory Panel on Economic Development, headed by Dr. Steve Grundy, in the development and summary of two important surveys. The first was intended to measure the economic health of the business community and the second to determine the spending patterns of local

consumers. Some in the community were surprised at the very positive results of the business survey in which 68 per cent of business owners and managers said that their business was “about the same or better as it had been over the past four years” with only 31 per cent indicating that business was worse than it had been over the past four years.” When asked the question: What is the outlook for your business in the next year? 52 per cent indicated that they were optimistic that their business would stay at the same level in the year ahead while 42 per cent expected their business would expand in the coming year. Nyikes said, “This is good news for Sooke, and aligns perfectly with the current and future efforts of the Chamber to provide valuable services to the business community to continue fostering economic development.” Results of the consumer survey will be published in the coming weeks.

Zorb Balls new for Canada Day festivities

Britt Santowski photo

Nicholas “Nemo” anderson gives the Zorb ball a trial run. In the backfields of Sooke elementary school on the past sunny Saturday, Gord Doucette was giving

the Zorb Balls a test run. These Zorb Balls will be a new addition to the Canada Day festivities happening at the Sooke Flats (the Sooke River Campground) on July 1. Indeed, there was no shortage of volunteers for the test run. Gord Doucette, the new Director of the Canada Day Society, has taken over from Judith Ann Gatto, the previous organizer of Sooke’s Canada Day. When Gatto stepped down, there was some talk of discontinuing the festivities on Canada Day, said Doucette. However, he stepped up to take over. “It was quite a bit of work, but people seemed to want it to continue,” he said. They have also added another band to the mix, upping the number from two to three. “It was a good opportunity to bring in new ideas,” said Doucette. This year, they are adding the Zorb Balls. It will be a by-donation event, and all proceeds will go to the Sooke Food Bank. What will be new next year? Well, there are some new explorations in the works, but we will just have to wait and see.

Managing Your MoneY The tangible benefits of financial advice

It seems obvious that the best way to achieve your financial and retirement goals is having access to sound financial advice grounded in a comprehensive financial plan. Among other things, financially advised households are twice as likely to save for retirement at all ages; have significantly higher levels of investable assets at all ages; improve their regular saving for retirement at all income levels; rate themselves as more financially knowledgeable; and are more comfortable making the financial decisions they need to make to plan for their future.* Recent research* on the financial situation of Canadians, our savings and investment behavior, and our attitudes toward retirement and savings advice has demonstrated the significant value of delivering financial advice to the public, at all income and asset levels:: • Advice has a positive and significant impact on financial assets. • Advisors perform tasks vital in the financial lives of their clients including improved financial literacy, developing a culture of savings and investment, developing and executing a financial plan, selecting appropriate financial vehicles and products and improving investment decision-making. • Advice positively impacts retirement readiness. • Canadians trust their advisors, feel positive toward them, and feel more confident they will have enough money to retire comfortably. A comprehensive financial plan should include investment planning, cash flow planning, education planning, estate planning, insurance planning, retirement planning, and income tax planning – and here’s the key - to be successful, your plan must be tailored to you. It makes sense to seek the advice of a financial advisor who will take you through this six-step planning process: 1. Goal setting – to define and prioritize your goals and concerns. 2. Data gathering – gathering all the pertinent financial information to understand your current financial situation.

3. Financial analysis – analysing the data to determine whether you are on track to achieve your financial life goals, and to identify alternative strategies to achieve those goals. This includes a review of how to reduce your taxes; whether you’ll have enough income to cover your retirement expenses; and strategies for protecting your family and income should you become disabled or die unexpectedly. 4. Plan formulation and recommendations – developing a written financial plan which contains recommendations and an action plan for achieving your financial goals and improving your overall financial life. 5. Plan implementation – taking action to implement the solutions that have been agreed upon. 6. Monitoring and plan review – financial planning is not a one time event. You should review your plan regularly, ideally at least annually or as major life events occur. These six straightforward steps are a great start on building your personal financial plan. Be sure you get the advice you need by talking to a financial advisor with the team, qualifications and tools you can count on. *IFIC Value of Advice Report 2012.

OUR VIEW

Pumping the tires on cycling With the arrival of summer, issues which usually get a lot of public reaction will likely wither on the vine, so to speak. People like to relax, take it easy and savour the slow down of local politics. There are a some issues which are drawing reactions, both positive and negative in Sooke at the moment. One is the Bike Skills Park proposed for John Phillips Memorial Park. This paper has dutifully printed the letters which have come in, both pro and con. Residents in the neighbourhood of the park don’t want it there, citing If it flies, issues of parking, noise, good luck loss of enjoyment of their quiet, etc. The pro side says with it. kids need a place to play and ride. They’ll take care of everything, the park will bring tourists to Sooke and everyone will benefit. The public information session scheduled for tonight will give residents a chance to see exactly what the bike club envisions for the bike park. There is no question that youth need more to do in Sooke, but whether the ones that need something to do will use the park is an unknown at this point. Not everyone cycles. The idea is a good one, but liability insurance, upkeep, maintenance and infrastructure should remain the responsibility of the bike club, not the municipality. Once it is on municipal land, it becomes, in many ways, the responsibility of the district. Liability should lie with the club not the taxpayers of Sooke. That was what was in the original proposal. If it flies, good luck with it. If it doesn’t, let’s think about preserving the park for the future, as it doesn’t need to be anything other than what it is — a natural park.

ANOTHER VIEW

Cabinet rookies handed hot files B.C. Views There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor,

so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support”

to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries.

Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Preserve green space We as a community must help preserve the green space at John Phillips Memorial Park. The park must be left as a multi-use park, accessible for all to use. Let’s not allow it to be carved up, and fenced off for a bike park. Many Sooke citizens young and old enjoy using this beautiful park just as it is. Let’s preserve it for future generations.

Clean up kids

Last Thursday, June 6, 29 Grade 8 students from Journey middle school, led by Katrina Abell, spent the afternoon cleaning out garbage from Helgesen Stream (tributary to DeMamiel Creek) where it flows through Broomhill Park. Six tires, broken bikes, one-half of a skateboard, a tent, loads of building debris and a dozen bags of garbage and an odd assortment of clothing were pulled from the creek. The event was supported by the District of Sooke and Sooke Disposal. From left to right are Zach Lindal, Breanne Tipper, Madison FosterDaly.

The Capital Regional District (CRD) is conducting a survey about our regional trails this summer to gather information on trail use, experiences and management. The survey runs until August 9, 2013. The survey is available on online at the CRD Regional Parks website. http://www.crd.bc.ca/ parks/. In addition, CRD Regional Parks’ attendants will administer

the survey at several locations along the three trails beginning in late June. They will be located at various times at Colville Park (Esquimalt), Veterans Memorial Parkway (Langford), Mt. Newton Cross Road (Central Saanich), Switch Bridge (Saanich); Atkins Road Rest Stop (View Royal); and Roche Cove Regional Park (Sooke). “The survey will help us pre-

A very positive experience I recently had a positive experience in the community of Sooke that I would like to share. My mother, May Hollingworth who is 99 years-of-age and lives at Ayre Manor, recently needed to take a trip to the dentist. Being 80-years-of -age myself, I find it difficult to get her from the wheelchair in to my vehicle. The wonderful staff at Ayre

Something that supports local events and markets and tries to be in touch with the community as much as possible.

Manor, much to my surprise, informed me there was a wheelchair taxi in Sooke. I called Sooke taxi and they dispatched a driver and taxi that has wheelchair capabilities. The taxi driver, Shayna Cool, was wonderful, got my mother in and out of the taxi without her having to get out of her wheelchair. Not only that, my wife and I went along with her. This is a wonderful service to have in a community and I wanted to let others know that this is available as it was a great help to me and good for businesses in Sooke as well. I guess we will be able to take her out for a little treat once in a while. Hugh Hollingworth Sooke

Caught between realism and abstraction www.sookenewsmirror.com

New method of painting for Sooke’s Linda Anderson

Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

Visually Linda Anderson’s paintings have a textural feel somewhere between pointillism and stained glass. She has created a process where she uses only vertical brush strokes and the effect, if viewed up close, looks like square pixels of colour. “It creates a whole new dynamic of movement,” said Anderson. “Even though it is directional your eye moved through the painting.” She’s on to something. From her research so far she hasn’t found anyone painting in quite the same manner and she calls it “a bridge between realism and abstraction.” But, you would never know it from a distance. She selects the same landscapes and subject matter she would paint with her more traditional methods, but applies a grid to those she wants to become vertical art.

Pirjo Raits photo

Linda Anderson came upon a painting method she is enchanted with. She will be showing her recent works at Coast Collective in July. She first used the technique while teaching an art class. She wanted the grid to help the students focus on the value structure of their work. The grid keeps the brush strokes uniform in width and through glazing of the piece with transparent acrylics different hues

and values are created. The process starts with a tonal under painting, the grid is applied and the downward strokes used to apply the paint. The result is impressionistic painting full of life and light. It’s not what you see initially but what you see later.

Anderson grew up in Sooke and started out her creative life as a commercial artists before switching to fine art. She attended art school in Victoria, took courses from everyone and joined the Federation of Canadian Artists to gain access to the top instructors.

“Having the life of an artists is a wonderful feeling where you get to paint and create something that is you, and to come up with something uniquely you is amazing,” said Anderson. “I’ve captured colour the way I see it, it’s unique to me and I’m really pleased to come to it.” (www. vertical-art.ca) Anderson’s painting in her vertical art style will be shown at the Coast Collective Gallery at Havenwood in Colwood from July 3 to 14. She is sharing the space with Sidney artist Odette Laroche (www. odettelarochegallery. com). Anderson said Laroche’s paintings are “big and strong.” “I stuck to the smaller works as they stood well beside hers.” Bold Living Paintings show between 12 and 5 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday at the gallery located at 3221 Heatherbell Road in Colwood.

When the RBC Sooke Team was first asked which organization they wanted to donate their time to, the answer from everyone was the Sooke Family Resource Centre!. When they arrived at the grounds of the Child, Youth and Family Centre they could see the gardens needed some TLC. They worked hard for three hours on June 9.

with many fashions being modelled. There will be a donation jar for those looking to empty their pockets. For those who want a more memorable taste of the event, there will also be a bake sale. And if you really want those dancing shoes, a few delicious items will be auctioned off, including some candyfilled stilettos. Should the weather not smarten up in good time, the event will be moved inside.

Outdoor runways in Sooke? Yes indeed. But no airplanes will be landing. Instead, a familyfriendly fashion show will be exhibited on this in-town runway. On Friday, July 5 from 6 to 9 p.m., La Petite Boutique is hosting an outdoor fashion show as a fundraiser for the Sooke Food Bank. “We love doing fashion shows,” said Ashley Manning, the woman organizing the event.

La Petite Boutique just received some new cupcake dresses and a new clothing line. It seemed like a natural fit. That, and “we just want to help out.” The event will be hosted in their parking lot, located at 6707 West Coast Rd. It is free to attend and is guaranteed to be family friendly. As stated on their Facebook page, “Sugar and Spice theme with seating for 150.” Owner Kristen Lindal says there will be about a dozen models there, making for a busy night

Many hungry mouths to feed at WildARC Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

A thousand followers on Facebook. A thousand dollars in donations. A thousand honest politicians. While some aspirations may be unattainable, hitting 1,000 is usually a significant milestone, worthy of celebration. Not so at WildARC, the Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre. Not even halfway through the year and they have hit their 1,000 milestone — with the number of animals they have treated so far this year. The thousandth customer, said Manager Kari Marks, was a Brewers blackbird from Sooke, who sadly did not make it. It was hit by a car which resulted in a fractured femur and had to be euthanized. The Sooke News Mirror was led to WildARC by Shane Robertson, who called to say he was collecting two truck loads of broken branches to donate to WildARC. Marks said they use these donated

branches in a number of ways. “One is to provide enrichment in cages, to make the animals feel more at home. We deck it out like a forest sometimes,” details Marks. “The other is for feeding, deer in particular.” When asked of their most common clientele, Marks gave a bird’s eye view. “We take in amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, all of them small to medium size. We don’t take the large predators. We don’t take the wolves and the bears. We just don’t have the facilities for them.” Contrary to most business practices, Marks would actually love to see business slow down. Dispelling a few myths can help reduce their numbers. For instance, when a bird falls out of its nest, you can indeed pick it up and put it back in its nest. There is a myth out there that says if you do that, the parents will pick up your human (if you’re so inclined) scent and

Kyla Lovbakke, Troy Lovbakke (of Western Island Tree Service), Duff Johnston, Shane Robertson (with Sooke Gutter) gather branches for WildARC. will abandon the nest and its babies. Not so says Marks. Bird’s can’t smell. And if a big wind (or a felled branch) results in a nest being demolished, get an old margarine container, scoop up as much of the original nest as you best can, reconstruct it as best as possible, return the nestling back into it, and place it as close to the original

vicinity as is possible. The parent will recognize the sound of their babies, and if they can find them, will return to them. So there’s one myth — that birds avoid human-contaminated nestlings — ousted. There’s also the myth of the attacking crow. Marks recounted incidences of people calling in with stories of being attacked by birds

abandoned fawn, your best course of action is to leave it there. First, fawns are probably the most obedient baby in the animal kingdom (humans included), for when the mother indicates that the fawn is to “Stay put,” that’s exactly what a fawn does. It stays exactly where it is told. The biggest danger, says Marks, is actually the mother. The fawn has no scent, and when it is left alone, it’s best defence is to stay still. “The mother will attract the predators, but a fawn won’t,” explains Marks. A cougar can walk right past its nest, and if the fawn doesn’t move a muscle she (or he) will escape notice. Converse to our ingrained human thinking, the best thing a mother (deer) can do for her newborn (fawn) is to stay away. When a fawn is brought in to WildARC, the animal is first checked over for injury and then put right back where it was found.

in their own yards, most commonly crows. When crows transition from nest-dwellers to sky-travellers, they go through a period of running around, on foot, on the ground. This stage is called “fledgling.” “For the most part in most birds’ lives,” explains Marks, “they spend a period of time on the ground before they can fly. They get

too big for the nest, and they pop down and spend a week on the ground.” There’s very little the parents can do at this stage (which might sound familiar to parents of human teenagers), so they feed them, hover over them, and ward off what (and who) they can. If a bird is attacking you in your own backyard, take it as a compliment: they trusted your space enough to have their babies in the vicinity, and are now doing the best they can to protect their little ones. It will only last for a week or ten days, said Marks. For the duration, Marks recommends you “take an umbrella, because they are going to come at you. Alternatively, you can simply avoid that particular area for the time being. A second myth — that Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds is being realized in your backyard — flatly demolished. Last is the myth of the abandoned fawn. If you happen across what appears to be an

Going into that field, you need to be comfortable. I’m starting to get comfortable with the raccoons who bite at you, and the birds that fly at you.” Volunteering, donations, and education are key to operating

Cont’d from page 23 The re-unification rate in these situations is actually quite high. In cases where the mother is known to be dead, the fawn is then raised by WildARC until the fall then released. Another myth — the myth of the abandoned fawn — busted. When wild animals become hurt, theyhave no one to look out for them. WildARC does what they can. They are privately funded and rely heavily on the kindness of strangers. Parkland Poultry from Sooke, for example, donates eggs. They match any order and give a complementary two-for-one. WildARC also has over 150 volunteers, about 15 of them come

Folk Society puts on a special summer concert

he Sooke Folk Music Society normally curtails it’s activities for the summer, but this Saturday, July 30, we are delighted to bring back Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart for a special summer concert at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, as part of their “Driver ‘til she drops” tour; a reference to their Chevy Suburban, which now has some 465,000 miles on the odometer Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart met for the first time 1991 at a songwriters night in Nashville TN. They knew that night it was one of them things that are just meant to be. They were married in 1992. It would be quite a balancing act at that time raising a family and trying to make a living along with all the other stuff that came with getting by, “but we managed,” Stacey said as she looked back at her first encounter with the world of touring. Stacey Earle’s first show was on an arena stage in Sydney, playing rhythm guitar in her brother’s band, Steve Earle & the Dukes. She spent about a year and a half on tour with her brother, and then returned to Nashville to start a career of her own as a country/ folk singer/songwriter. “I was 30-years-old and asking/seeking a recording deal in Nashville.At that age it was like asking God to turn back the world clock.” Mark Stuart went to the finest of music schools, he started his schooling listening and admiring his uncle’s guitar playing and his dad’s fiddling. By age 15 he would find himself

Back for another round on July 30 are Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart. playing in the school of honky tonks and beer joints in and around Nashville in his dad’s band. Mark was off the road when he met Stacey and that very night he would play the first note of her music never leaving her side. Mark

still somehow found the time to work on his own music recording his solo record and touring. Mark, as well, spent some time in the Dukes in the 1990s. Like Earle, he recalls it as a time of glamour: appearing on the Tonight Show with

Jay Leno, and MTV. “I had someone tuning my guitar, strapping on my guitar,” he said. “Now we carry our stuff three flights up in the Red Roof Inn.” Over the years Stacey and Mark have learned so much from each other. Their songs are the diaries of their life — good times and bad, thereby completing the love they have. Together they share the full load of getting by day-by-day. They’ve gone on to release their duo albums, Never Gonna Let You Go in 2003 and S&M Communion Bread in 2005, and their Gearle Records 2008 release Love from Stacey and Mark which is available at thehir live shows only. While, no doubt, each still remains an individual solo artist with solo releases, such as the 2008 release of Mark Stuart’s Left of

And that sound allows each individual to shine through. Stacey and Mark are no doubt together ‘til death do they part. Please be sure to join us for what will be a memorable evening with these two very engaging singer/songwriters. The gig is on Saturday, July 30 at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, at 1962 Murray Road.

he 25th Sooke Fine Arts Show opened on Thursday night with purchasers waiting in line to get into the show and see the latest works from the 275 artists who submitted entries. The adjudicators chose 375 pieces from the 551 artists who responded to the call for entries to the juried art show and sale. The 10-day show was once again staged in the SEAPARC Leisure Complex where a group of talented and hard working volunteers transformed the cavernous space into an amazing gallery. “We had a lovely weekend and a lot of people,” said Sally Manning, show coordinator. “It is a colourful and happy show.” Many Sooke artists stood out as the winners in the 25th Anniversary Artists Awards. They included Patrick Irwin for his acrylic and oil two-dimensional painting “Port Alberni,” Best Two-Dimensional work. The Best Three-Dimensional work award was awarded to Jan Johnson for his “Minotaur Overseeing Intake,” while Debbie Clarkson took the award for the Best Photography for her “La Habana Elegante #3.” Dana Sitar’s “When I Do Not Follow the Rules” took the award for Best Fibre. Honourable mentions were given to Chuck Minten for his “Circle of Friends” wood table and Anne Boquist’s “YoYoTokTik” gourd and found object piece. Other winners include Heather Hamilton’s “Internal Reflections” pendant (Best Jewellery); Jo Ludwig’s “No Title” glass piece (Best Glass); Metchosin’s Judi Dyelle won Best Ceramic for her “White Series #1”; and Jeff Molloy’ for his mixed media piece “A Man of the Cloth. Other honourable mentions went to Debbie Jansen for her fused glass, “Untitled”, Eliza Heminway’s fibre wall piece, “The Haberdasher’s Garden” and Leonard Butt’s “Uchi” raku sculpture. The adjudicators each chose a work for Juror’s Choice. Richard White gave full marks to Nicolas Vandergugten’s lino block print “Bridgework #3”; Grant Leier (substituting for Carol Sabiston) awarded Dee de Wit’s “Still Life with Mango” his kudos; and juror Nixie Barton chose Johannes Landman’s oil painting “Benchwarmer.” Manning said the attendance was keeping in line with past years as were the sales.

A look through the Sooke News Mirror archives: June 25, 2008 Gas prices may retreat by August There may be some relief from record gasoline prices later this summer. The latest forecast from Credit Union Central of B.C. says that surging prices for gasoline and fuel oil will peak before August, and decline after that. That would be a welcome relief from gasoline prices that have marched steadily upward towards $1.50 a litre and beyond.

incorporated areas of the Capital Regional District, according to a comparison compiled by the Town of Sidney staff. The Sooke council received the information at its Monday night meeting and noted the district’s average tax bill, after the home owner’s grant, this year is $959. The next lowest among the 12 other areas was Langford, which had an average of $1,319. June 24, 1998 Local group sets committee to sell Sooke as a film location

Premier Mike Harcourt paid a visit to East Sooke on June 15 to officially open the revamped Gillespie Road. At a cost of almost $3 million, and seven years work, 6.7 km of road was fully paved and widened. Harcourt said completion of Gillespie Road was an example of work being done in a “community-sensitive way,” along with some “creative work done by the highways department.” June 22, 1988 Renfrew Road paving to be completed We’ll soon be able to say goodbye to the gravel and dust and washboard surface on the final unpaved 7.7

km section of the road to Port Renfrew. The Ministry of Highways will pave this section this summer with a substance known as chip seal -- emulsified asphalt poured onto the surface -- which leaves an asphalt finish and costs five times less than the real thing. Kevin Cutting of the Saanich Highways District said there are no plans at present to undertake similar paving of the road between Port Renfrew and Cowichan Lake and thus create a “Circle Route” that could become a major attraction on the island.

Strong strokes from Sooke SOOKE NEWS MIRROR - Wednesday, June 26, 2013

On the weekend of June 8, Saanich Commonwealth Place hosted the Vancouver Island Regional Championships. Four Sooke swimmers — Lucy Bridal, Katie Houlahan, Nicholas Ralph and Clarke Hopkins — all performed very well over the long and exciting weekend. Some highlights include the 10-and-under free relay in which Clarke Hopkins and Nicholas Ralph swam. This relay came 11 overall in the final results. Clarke Hopkins also bettered his 200 freestyle time by seven seconds. Lucy Bridal had a tough schedule but proved how determined she was, going best times in all six of her individual events and tirelessly helping out her team with the 11-12 girls Medley Relay.

Doing It Right with

There it was, just ahead of me on the sidewalk: a familiar, bright yellow dandelion, the harbinger of spring, growing out of a narrow crack in the concrete pavement. Somehow, a lone seed from the previous year had landed in the crack and found enough fertile soil to take root and bloom.

SDL BINS

It brought to mind the parable of the sower and the seeds. Luke 8:5-8 – A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown. The most pertinent point of the story is that even some of the seeds that landed on rocky ground could eventually come into bloom.

Many people find the soil of their soul has become very rocky ground. It is hardened, poisoned, and covered by the rocks of despair from the starkness of the daily grind for survival. They are emotionally and spiritually dead, detached from life, from self, and, most importantly, from God. The message of the Gospel is that all people are able to love without fear, to embrace life with all of its vagaries, and to live life to its fullest. Is message of the church is never to turn away from people in desperate and disparate circumstances. We never know when or where those seeds will take root and flourish in even the most broken of souls. The living seed of God's love can blossom in the dry soil of such a soul. Are you feeling hard and bitter? Remember, the redeeming love and grace of Jesus can soften the hardest soil. Pastor Gordon Kouwenberg

New sailing instructor sets sights on Sooke

Lis Johansen photo

Max Westgate with the lovely feet of Alabama Pedersen (who fell overwhen the camera clicked but is probably upright by now) sailing the Violet in the Sooke Harbour this winter. The Sooke Sailing Association is proud to announce one of its own club directors has been hired to instruct the MOSS Sailing program for kids all over

British Columbia this summer. The best thing for us is that Max Westgate, a youth from Sooke, will be here for the three weeks of the MOSS program teaching

Sooke kids age six to 14 to sail Sooke in July. “I’ve been sailing for nine years and coaching for five,” adds Max, “my experience lying primarily in dinghy sailing as well as with some keelboat racing. I aim to keep sailing as a vital part of my life, particularly in coaching the trade. I think there is enormous merit in the MOSS program, promoting not only an interest of sailing in young minds, but in aiding entire communities to take the initiative and spark an interest themselves. Sooke has a one-ofa-kind location perfect for the trade — it’s great to see the already youth-friendly town take this step forward, and I’m happy to be an implement in the process.” For more information on Sailing in Sooke Go to www.sookesailing.com or search for Sooke sailing in Facebook. by Gord Fulcher
