Historical bake oven discovered at Potholes Bake oven speaks of the flow line and the men who toiled on it Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

One hundred years ago life was a lot different for the men and women who built this country. Sooke was a place where a lot of things happened, much of it as a support system of sorts for the larger community of Victoria. Hundreds of men were employed in the building of a concrete flow line for water coming from Sooke Lake and ending up 27 miles away in Victoria. Four foot diameter sections of four foot long sections of concrete pipe were fabricated at Cooper Cove. It took 35,000 sections to bring water to the Goldstream Reservoir. That meant hundreds of hours of often backbreaking labour to get the flow line laid. It was considered one of the most challenging feats of engineering seen in the province at the time. Twenty-seven miles, 400 men, a railway and numerous field camps along the stretch from the lake to the reservoir was necessary. Recently one of the bake ovens used by the field camps was discovered in an area around the Sooke Potholes. The Sooke Region Museum acted on a tip from outdoorsman Ed Earl and found the

A celebration of the discovery of an old bake oven was held on Sept. 12 with (l to r) Sooke Mayor Wendal Milne, Ted Daly from CRD Parks, JdFEA Director MIke Hicks, T’Sou-ke member Larry Underwood and MLA John Horgan attending. Top right, the bake oven. moss-covered bake oven. The oven itself is made of rock leftover from blasting for the flow line. On Thursday, September 12, a group of 68 invited guests made the trek to the top of a hill on a plateau where the back oven was discovered. The bake oven was built using no mortar, igloo-style with a smoke hole at top and covered with earth. Sooke historian Elida Peers, in speaking about the find, said the

men who worked along the flow line would be greeted with the smell of fresh baked brown bread when they returned to camp at the end of the day. Oldtimer Wilf Carter had first contacted the museum historian (Elida Peers) in 1976 to make her aware of a “sister” oven in the woods at the Sooke/ Metchosin border. This oven was relocated to the museum and is used at the annual open house to bake biscuits.

OPEN HOUSE SAT SEPT 21 7850 D Davidson Rd

On hand for the ‘unveiling’ and ribbon cutting were a number of dignitaries and locals including Juan de Fuca Electoral Area Director Mike Hicks, North Saanich mayor Ted Daly representing CRD Parks, Acting mayor for Langford Lanny Seaton, MLA John Horgan, Sooke Mayor Wendal Milne, and T’Souke representatives Frank Planes, Shirley Alphonse and Larry Underwood. Mike Hicks congratulated everyone on a “good find,” and Jack Planes stated that they were there to “witness what’s going on.” The most words came from Ted Daly, who spoke at the site of the bake oven and said,

“We have it so easy today, we just turn on a tap… at times I think we’re luck we didn’t live in that era and at other times I feel we missed something.” Historian Elida Peers spoke of how the oven operated 100 years ago. She attained much of her information from Wilf Carter who lived through that era in Sooke. The ceremony ended with a lunch which would have been typical for the era, baked beans, brown bread, cheese and water… a fitting repast for those gathered at the historic site.

Sooke RCMP are credited with helping save the life of a distraught 42-year-old woman who was attempting to commit suicide on Monday night (September 16). “She was intent on ending her life,” said Staff Sgt. Steve Wright. At 9:25 p.m. four police officers responded to the call at Billings Spit by the woman’s partner. Two RCMP members went into the water with personal floatation devices in an attempt to keep up with woman and talk with her. The officers were in the water for 35 minutes with another on shore. They did manage to borrow a boat while they waited for the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue to arrive. The woman continued to refuse help and swam further from shore. The woman, said Wright, did not want to be rescued and one officer went back into the water and held on to her until she could be pulled from the water and onto a RCMSR boat. “The water temperature was 11 degrees and the tide was flooding,” said Wright. The woman was 200 to 300 feet from shore and was becoming hypothermic. “She didn’t have much more time left, and good on the members who stayed with her. This is good news.” The unnamed woman was taken out of the water by RCMSR and was transported to hospital under the Mental Health Act, where she remains. The officers were unharmed.

Evergreen centre will be rebuilt in time Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

On the foggy thursday morning of September 12, there was a hint of demolition activity at the Evergreen building, where on July 31, 2013, the front section of that building burnt down. Since then, its remnants have been sitting like an sullen eyesore in the dead centre of the town of Sooke. According to Peter Morris, the COO of Partners REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust — who is the mall’s landlord), there have been a lot of things happening in the background that remains unseen to the naked eye. They are indeed on track with both the demolition of the wreckage, and its rebuilding, and this will be apparent quite soon. The initial delay came because it was treated as a crime scene. The building had to be investigated by the RCMP as well as the fire department. While the investigation is still ongoing, the RCMP have concluded their onsite investigation and turned the site over to Partners REIT on August 6. Partners REIT, in turn, handed things over to their insurance adjuster who was on site from August 10 to 12, along with their own fire forensic experts. On August 12, a hazardous materials survey was conducted of the site, as required by the provincial government for any building built before 1980. The Evergreen plaza was built in 1978, and according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, “until the 1980s, asbestos was used in office buildings, public buildings and schools.”

Pirjo Raits photo

A back hoe and hazardous materials removal experts are at the site of the burned out building at Evergreen Centre. Removing the debris has begun, as any hazardous materials are being sorted for disposal. It took until the end of August to review the submissions from five demolition contractors, and at the end, Don Mann Excavating was selected. Addressing the issue of asbestos, Morris said in the findings of the environmental assessment company, “it was determined that there was the possibility of … traces of asbestos one would normally find in a building built in 1980. Where you would normally find those would be in the drywall tape and mud that was used back then. There may have been fibrous asbestos.” In addressing possible health concerns, Morris emphasized that there were “traces” of asbestos, and that there would be no more than would be found in a house. Other hazardous materials were found, including things like cleaning solvents and broken fluorescent lights said Morris. Even so, they are taking precautions, and the demolition will take

place in two parts. As per WorkSafeBC regulations, there are certain things that must be done in the demolition process. The first part will be a hand-sort, where any “suspected” hazardous materials will be removed from the premises and taken to approved disposal sites. “We’re being overly cautious. We’re not coming in there with a front-end loader and just digging it up,” said Morris. “The primary thing

that should be pointed out is that they are doing continuous air sampling around the perimeter of the building,” explained Morris. “And that’s to ensure that there is nothing being released into the atmosphere. … We’re showing nothing, there’s nothing. And that will continue on while they are doing all their removal up to the point in time that is is signed off as being a clean site.” The second part is the overall demolition of the building’s

remains. The demolition permit was in-hand on Friday September 6, and the demolition work began on September 12. Morris anticipates the demolition will take three weeks. The reconstruction will take a bit longer, up to 18 months, and involves building permits and looking for a range of contractors. “We are seeking, actively seeking, as we did for the excavation, quotes and tenders from companies in Sooke, and we’re hopeful they will have nice sharp pencils,” said Morris. Their insurance company has a mandate to select the lowest priced contractor who is qualified to do the work, which means the contractor could be local or from elsewhere on the island. Working together with the insurance company, Partners REIT visualizes another two-story business centre. The big planned improvement will be the installation of an elevator, giving easy access to businesses on the upper floor to those with mobility challenges. While insurance will not cover the full cost of this upgrade, it will

contribute towards current building codes, although Morris said it won’t be the full amount. Current requirements include the installation of an elevator. Residents of Sooke will have an opportunity to provide their input in terms of vendors and building aesthetics. Partners REIT has a website at evergreensc.ca that will include soliciting input and will provide updates on the reconstruction process. The site will be launched by 9 a.m., Tuesday, September 24. Deb Moore, the property manager for Evergreen, will be the contact person receiving this input. “The consumers know the site best because they go there and do their shopping every day,” said Moore. Based on the feedback on the website, Moore said they might also schedule a consultation meeting. Morris is upbeat and positive about the future for the Evergreen plaza. “We think the property is well situated to serve the community, and we believe the community will continue to grow,” concluded Morris.

Did You Know? We have seen a few sales this month, more than this time last year. Most of the properties have been on the market a long time, anywhere from 3 months to over a year in most cases. The list price has been adjusted downward over that time and there was negotiating to be done when the offer came in. We have also noticed that with the “tightening” of bank lending policies many of the offers had to be extended because of financing issues…. It is a tough market out there!

The new school year brings to mind the similarities with today’s youngsters excitedly getting back to see their friends and check out everyone’s new clothes, and this 1921 photo where the students probably did the same. In 1921 Sooke Superior School looked like this. Above the entry door, there was a gold leaf inscription which read “Act well your part for there the honour lies.” The teachers standing at the left are Mary McKinnon and Helen Giberson. First row, rear: Gretel Nicholson (daughter of author/historian/ entrepreneur George Nicholson) she married fisherman Trygve Arnet; Agnes McBride who married Joe Collins of fishtraps man-

agement; Veronique Willett, who married Count Rodolphe de la Hitte in France, where they both served in the French underground during World War II; Margaret King, raised by the Murrays, she married Dane Kai Jensen; Clara & Alice Erickson; Verna Cullum. Second row from rear: Irene & Lillian Helgesen of the well-known Helgesen pioneer family, Lillian herself taught at Sooke School in her late teens; Kathleen & Marjorie Giles; Florence Gray, daughter of fishtraps manager Frank Gray, she married Will Sheilds; Marion Soward; Nellie Charters, daughter of William Bell Jr & Stella Fraser, she married Stanley Carlow and lived where “The Yews” stands on the corner of Charters Road today.

Third row from rear: Bob Mugford, son of the Mugford Boarding House family, lost his life during World War II; Charlie & Teddy Barbour, sons of the manager of Sooke Harbour Hotel; Harvey Dobson; Cecil Nicholson – see Nicholson above; Gladys Graignic, daughter of fishtraps manager Pete Graignic, she later married Rupert Soule (many of the plantings at Ed Macgregor Park are hers); Marjorie Felton, daughter of physician Dr Richard Felton; Viola Ainsworth. Second row from front: Willie Charters (see above) Teddy Pagden, Walter OMeara, Ernie Welsh, eldest son of the pioneer Welsh family; Lewis Milligan of the Milligan logging family; Murray Barbour (see above); Violet

Helgesen (see above); Beatrice Hawkins; Hilda Taylor; May Wilham who married Roy Baker, owner of the Red & White Store; Fred Cullum of West Coast Telegraph trail history; Clifford Charters (see above). Front row: Lily Michelsen, daughter of fishtraps skipper “Pop” Michelsen, she married Jimmie Goudie, later married Alf Haywood; Sarah Michelsen who married William Vowles, was mother to the Vowles brothers of fishing/seafood fame; Mollie & Nellie Richardson, daughters of Vernon & Queenie Richardson, and sisters to Frank Richardson of the building supply firm; Alan Felton, son of Dr Richard Felton - Alan went off to the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s

to fight with the insurgents; next are Charlie OMeara, Byron Charters, Earl Gray, Harry Helgesen, Will Sheilds, Malcolm Taylor, Harold Welsh, each with family references above. It would be remiss not to note the impact of Harry Helgesen, one of the little fellows here, who became one of Sooke’s favorite sons, served in WWII, excelled at All Sooke Day logger sports, started Sooke Sawmills which became the mammoth enterprise on Goodridge Peninsula and then developed Coopers Cove Oyster Farm into an international supplier.

Bear meets pig, pig escapes Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

It was first mentioned on the Sooke News Mirror Facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/ SookeNewsMirror). “Anyone missing a pig?” asked Jodi Pollner on September 11. “There’s one running around sunriver estates. Demamiel drive area.” By Friday, September 13, the story got bigger. On assignment at EMCS, someone in the office mentioned that this pig was torn and bloodied, possibly by an encounter with a bear. So we contacted the Conservation Officer Service. “I do know that a bear broke into a pig enclosure and attacked a pig,” confirmed conservation officer Scott Norris from the Service, “and I guess the farmer tried to intervene a little bit, and the bear dropped the pig. And the bear took off. And the pig was running loose. We have a trap set hoping to catch the bear, and we’ll see what comes of that.”

Bears are out and about and caution should be taken with fallen fruit and other attractants. According to the incident report, the farmer did have an electric fence, but there was a hole in it, and it is now being repaired. Electric fences are generally very effective in keeping bears out, noted Norris. That the bear had not been captured in two days may indicate that this bear is not habituated, which is a good sign. For the bear. At this time of year, noted Norris, bears are very busy foraging for any and all food sources in preparation

Capital Regional District

for the long barren winter. People should keep garbage inside until the morning of garbage

pickup, and should ensure that fallen fruit is immediately picked up and discarded. “Sooke always has bear issues,” said Norris. Residents should “lock up all attractants, whether it’s their livestock or pet food or their bird seed or their garbage. Fruit trees at this time of year are a big issue.” These precautions can prevent a bear from being habituated. Habituated bears are usually killed. Bear sightings should be phoned in to the Conservation Office at 1-877-952-7277

Coffee House opener: Fraser Union SOOKE SOOKE NEWS NEWS MIRROR MIRROR -- Wednesday, Wednesday, september september 18, 18, 2013 2013

Well, it’s time for the Sooke Folk Music Society to roll out another season of great musical entertainment. Our coffee house season begins this Saturday evening, September 21 with Fraser Union who come all the way from Vancouver. Fraser Union first formed in 1983. The current members have been together since 1987, performing and recording songs that have a great deal of meaning to them and their audiences. Dan Kenning, a past member, says they tend more towards “songs of content than songs of contentment,” but a quick look at the range of music on their recordings, BC Songbook, This Old World, From There to Here, Hello, Stranger and Split Shift indicates that Fraser Union is not quickly pigeon-holed. Many of their songs come from the workplace: Coal Town Road, Chemical Worker’s Song, Woman of Labrador, Empty Nets (woes of fishing), Ships of the Deep (merchant shipping), Everything Possible (child-rearing), Their Way (postsecondary teaching), and The Ghost Program(computer programming). Many others tell stories of BC: Bank Trollers (about West Coast fishing), Snap the Line Tight (log salvaging), The Ballad of Robert Harkness (about the Cariboo gold rush), Canning Salmon. But some tell stories from other times and places: The Last Battle, about the Métis uprising and the last

OUR VIEW

Respect for all viewpoints works Monday’s meeting regarding the proposed bike park is going to be a long one and tempers may flare. It’s a motherhood and apple pie issue and, as these things go, the proponents will haul out the kids and youth and they will plead for space to play. Not to say they don’t need it, but we do have the great outdoors where the more skilled can ride and learn, they don’t necessarily need supervision or areas close to town. It’s the younger set who need parental supervision and riding lessons. Mayor Milne’s proposal seems the most reasonable and that’s the one council should go with. Council does not need to be badgered and made to feel guilty if they choose to go with the mayor’s proposed site. It will be interesting to see what happens and let’s hope all sides can come together for the good of all. The election is after all, still more than a year away and there will be lots of time to rally the forces for the votes, this isn’t the issue for that. • Last week’s trek up the slopes at the Sooke Potholes was a great reminder of just what we have in the Sooke area. Yes, we have the great outdoors, but what we have that’s even better is the great volunteers who actually make things happen in this community. Trekking up to the site of the bake oven one saw a community. Everyone helped each other scale the hill and this resulted in camaraderie and sense of togetherness. That was nice to experience. • Maybe there is a lesson here. Perhaps council should take the time to do some sort of teambuilding exercises to learn to respect and help each other. As it is, some stand in isolation with their viewpoints while others band together. Different viewpoints are necessary and deserve a listen but council should be united in the end. A bit of respect goes a long way with council, staff and the community. People don’t forget what they see and hear.

2010 WINNER

FEATURE LETTER

Council needs to follow process Where bias exists, critical thinking does not. One need look no further than meetings of Sooke Council or the Land Use and Environment Committee. Approvals are spur-ofthe-moment. Discussion is limited to members pushing personal agendas, questioning efforts of staff, and failing to recognize governance as a continuing process. This last item refers to a failure to ask about the history of the matter before them. Has the item been before council in the past? Are there existing resolutions regarding the issue? The current group of councillors seems to view themselves in isolation. There is no better example than their acceptance of the bike park, with no recognition of past resolutions re John Phillips Memorial Park (JPMP). In November, 2006, Sooke council passed a resolution to accept the John Phillips Memorial Park Trust Committee Report, and adopt the recommendations of that committee. Both the Parks and Trails Master Plan and the Official Community Plan include wording that supports the Trust Committee Report, and both documents were adopted by council resolution. This history of JPMP is imperative in any new discussions. Motions which conflict with existing resolutions, are null and void under Robert’s Rules (Section 38). There is no doubt that the issue of the bike park should not have been given the attention it received, without consideration of past resolutions and the Trust Committee Report. The whole history

must be a part of any discussion, not simply a quick remark that support exists in the Parks and Trails Master Plan, which as pointed out, actually supports the Trust Committee Report. Other than a simple slalom run, designed in a Figure 8, there is no bike park in the Trust Committee Report. More importantly, the report dictates phases of development for the park, which are sensible, concise, and necessary. Phase 1 identifies issues of protection for the environment, trails, lighting, washrooms, parking, and so on. In other words making the park user-friendly. All of the listed items are necessary before the park becomes a community gathering place, and together represent a large expenditure of funds. The issue is, that because agendas and bias prevailed at the governance level, the folks from the bike friendly group were given a feeling of entitlement, while the opposition grew. Opinions became entrenched, and it will now be difficult to come together in agreement about the JPMP. There are other issues which indicate a lack of effective governance. The transfer station on Marilyn Ring Road, where folks are able to take their household wastes for hauling to Hartland, appears to be illegal under the Environmental Management Act, Part 3. Somehow this entity came into being without going to the council table. When the question is asked, the answer is simply, “The property is zoned to allow the use.” Oh! The property is also zoned to

allow a pulp mill, a slaughter house and numerous other entities. There is also the problem of definition. Waste Management and Recycling are permitted uses but no definition is provided. However, the real issue is an absence of process. This did not come to the council table. No questions were asked. The thing just happened. Sooke River Road residents were under the impression that this was a temporary use, until something could be worked out. If due process had occurred perhaps those who are elected to lead us would have determined that the authority for Solid Waste Management rests with the CRD through provincial legislation and CRD Bylaw 1903, which does need to be upgraded to identify Sooke as a district and not as part of the electoral area. The bylaw identifies the CRD responsibility to be the establishment of a Local Service Area for a solid waste disposal function. There is on a CRD website, a bylaw to establish a transfer station on Salt Spring Island. It should be required reading for those who were so quick to establish ours. In this writer’s opinion it is time to return land use issues to the Committee of the Whole, or better yet appoint an Advisory Planning Commission. The current Land Use and Environment Committee has had their opportunity to prove themselves, and now need to be retired. Gail Hall Sooke

Put BMX at SEAPARC The Sooke Bike Club’s desired outcome from the meeting on September 23, is for SBC to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding, (MOU) with the District of Sooke. The document could outline the scope of the project at John Phillips Park and the Sooke Bike Club’s involvement in it. It could include a generalized budget breakdown, a timeframe for a phased approach to construction, and methods by which the public could be engaged during the process, in order to identify their concerns so that we’ll have a bike skills playground that will be successful over the long term. With this MOU, the club can start identifying funding sources, construct a business plan and build relationships that will contribute to the quality and long term viability of this bike skills playground. SEAPARC is not an appropriate venue for this kind of freely accessible, unsupervised activity. It is too isolated, meaning that we cannot have the safe, multi-age, multi-ability, tiered bike skills playground that we’ve proposed for our community. SEAPARC is not an appropriate facility to invest in at this point because there are too many unknown variables. The Sooke Bike Club is reticent to shift our focus to that venue

My husband and I are from Michigan, U.s.A. We were on your beautiful island last month and stopped at a moving sale. We bought three old, bone-china teacup and saucer sets for our three daughters. When we got home, one saucer was missing. I would like to try to locate the saucer. You can contact me at dabomccoy@aol.com or call me at 231-873-5282. Bonnie McCoy for these reasons, but more importantly because we were originally engaged in order to move the John Phillips bike playground forward, and are committed to seeing the process through to the end. The SEAPARC site is appropriate for supervised activity. It offers parking, change rooms, vending machines and bathrooms. It can facilitate events. I personally think a BMX race track there would be ideal. The SEAPARC site can be controlled, as access is limited and this is something that BMX associations are looking for as a way to curb liability exposure and maintenance costs. Council unanimously supported Mayor

Milne’s initial motion to move forward at John Phillips. I feel their original decision was based on their instinct that this project would be good for Sooke. It is unfortunate that the first, positive decision was rescinded, as that opened the door for politics to take the project off the rails. There are hundreds of people within our community who support this project as proposed, and in the area specified. I know the project would be a success, and I hope we get the opportunity to prove it. Lorien Arnold Sooke Bike Club

The recent fatality on the highway between Jordan River and Port Renfrew should move the provincial government to initiate cellular phone service on the Pacific Marine Circle Route between Lake Cowichan and Sooke. Rather than phoning 911 on their cell phones, the first travelers at the accident scene drove 20 minutes to Port Renfrew in order to use a land phone. The end result was a 40 minute response time for the ambulance and first responders which could have been cut in half with cell service.

Thousands of travelers are now driving this route with absolutely no communications between Mesachie Lake and Otter Point. With countless funds going to emergency infrastructures such as 911, CREST, ambulance service, fire departments and RCMP it now time to allow these services to be accessed by the travelling public, residents of Port Renfrew, Shirley, Jordan River, Otter Point, loggers, truck drivers, fishermen and hikers that are working, living and playing in this communications dead zone called the Pacific Marine Circle Route. We as a province have the technology and the Gas Tax funds to provide cell service throughout the Circle Route.

letters Sensible BC correction

The article says “to make pot posession a ticketable offence rather than a criminal offence.” This is not the aim of Sensible BC at all. The Sensible Police Act would redirect all BC Police from detaining (ticketing) or arresting adults for marijuana possession. Minors would be treated as if it were alcohol. This new law would also call upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that BC could legally regulate cultivation and sale. A correction on this matter would be very much appreciated as it sends out mixed messages about the campaign. Thank you for your time and support. Chad Levesque Sooke

Check park for yourself The 2006 plan for JPMP is vague and out of date for current 2013 recreation trends. It includes a disc golf course and horse shoes. Who plays disc golf anymore?

Bike riders are not a small special interest group; learning to ride your bike is a rite of passage for most Canadian kids. Let’s give Sooke youth a place where they can be passionate about a sport that does not involve high registration fees and expensive equipment each year. What we desperately need in Sooke is a place for youth of all ages (especially for those 10-18+) that is a safe, central location whether you are biking alone or with friends. I encourage everyone to go to JPMP, before the public input meeting, with a picture of the proposed bike skills park plan and see for yourself a few things: 1) That the proposed plan takes up only a small portion of

Cont’d from page 10 the park and does not include the pond area, 2) that the central location is ideal as bike paths from the schools already lead to it and 3) this abandoned golf course is rarely used by anyone beyond being an extension of a few people’s backyards and is underutilized in our growing community.

Prioritize needs, not wants

We ask that on September 23 you come to a final decision on this bike park issue. What you voted on March, 2012 is not what you see today. The drawing from 2006 showed all the possible features that were suggested for JPMP. We are now looking at a completely different proposal. The quoted “Zero Cost” to taxpayers is now upwards of $300,000 which could include many additional costs. This will be a continuing money pit for

the district and an added burden for struggling taxpayers. The proposed bike park is definitely not a ‘sliver’ as identified by the bike club executive. With the future road alterations on Otter Point and the unknown future of the old Mulligan’s property and possibly more parking stalls, not a lot of useable area is left. In a normal winter, it is under water or very wet as are the slopes. Looking at the “overall placement” picture on DOS website shows the huge bike park area. Only letters and emails signed by residents who live here and/or pay taxes in Sooke should be considered by council when making decisions. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinions but council is elected by the people of Sooke only. We respect you have been trying to get our financial house in order. Do not drop the ball now.There are many struggling young families and seniors living here. Hundreds use the Sooke Food Bank and Crisis Centre on a regular daily and monthly basis and it is a fact that children are going to school hungry. Please prioritize the needs from the wants. If anything positive

has come from all this, perhaps it is renewed awareness that JPMP is a valuable community park/green space that should be preserved for future generations. Dozens of residences and neighbourhoods close by JPMP would be affected and need to be respected. We enjoy seeing young families and all ages using the park.

There is a variety of areas/trails for bike riding listed on the Sooke Bike Club’s website. SEAPARC’s bike park is already there and although it has some problems, they can and are being rectified. Work with what you have and try to make it better. Larry and Jeanette Umbach Sooke

The Pastor's Pen

Family Reunion Once again, a family reunion was arranged, and many of the family journeyed hundreds of kilometres to be together. From the beginning, there was excitement, anticipation, and joyful preparations for the event. The destination property looked like a campground with tents and camper trailers. The journey had been safe and many landmarks were observed: distant mountains, bridges crossing rivers, sleeping villages, woods beside the highway, and history all around. After hours on the road, also was heard, more than once was, "Are we there yet?" The long weekend was a successful encounter with all participants. There were nature walks, campfires, and sauna and hot-tub visits, along with good eating, and waking up in the morning for more. It was all fun, as well as a bonding time for all who attended. Just as you might receive an invitation to a family reunion, so you have a standing invitation to attend the eternal reunion of God's family in heaven. Turning to God is the key to taking your place in the family of God. Jesus came to bring that invitation, and when you receive Jesus, you become part of that family. As you journey through life, "Are you there yet?" Pastor Gordon Kouwenberg

Easy and eclectic: The joy of growing succulents

Wednesday, september september 18, 18, 2013 2013 SOOKE NEWS MIRROR -- Wednesday,

These days, it’s not surprising to see gorgeous displays of succulents just about everywhere – at garden centres, of course, but also at shopping malls, public gardens, and private homes. Indoor succulents have long been in style. Broadly speaking, these include such plants as Christmas cactus, jade plant, aloe vera, and motherin-law’s tongue/snake plant, and we probably all have one or two. However, the popular-

Space and flight lectures If you are a whiteknuckled passenger who can’t wait to get off the plane and kiss the ground on landing, or are just intrigued or fascinated by flight and aviation in general, this is a series of nontechnical and informal Lectures which you will enjoy. Four lectures will include images and video clips to illustrate the topics being discussed. “Fasten Your Seatbelts!” - A brief glimpse into the world of aviation and aerodynamics. September 26, at EMCS 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This talk will give the attendees an insight as to how aerodynamics effects our daily lives. The presentation is a basic, and non-technical, introduction to aerodynamics, and the various laws of physics and motion which illustrate how an aircraft flies and is controlled. ners will also be examined.

ity of ‘outdoor’ succulents clearly seems to be on the rise. As I see it, the reason for this growing interest in incorporating succulents into the landscape is fairly straightforward: Succulents are lovely easy care, put-me-just-aboutanywhere plants that come in an enormous array of sizes, forms and colours. They are incredibly versatile, equally at home in an old shoe, a cracked pot, a rock garden, a stone

DEATHS

James Gerald Thola 1953-2013

James Gerald Thola was born on November 13, 1953 in Bellevue, Iowa, USA. He was the fourth of seven children to the late Raymond and Adele Thola. He spent his early years in Iowa and later moved to Mesa, Arizona with his family for ten years. When he was about 13 years old, his family moved to Canada, they spent the first two years in Vanderhoof, BC and then settled in Groundbirch, BC until a year after his marriage. Jim loved to travel in his younger days. One summer he joined a carnival and travel with them. Jim also loved to hunt and had a share of his exciting hunting stories. He may not have had perfect attendance at school but he found ways to channel his energy through many miles of walking, jogging, biking, and hiking. Jim went from many years as a logger and then on to numerous years working for Peace Country Maintenance. Jim loved his mother so much so that when she was diagnosed with cancer, he devoted his life looking after her until she passed away. In early 1995, Jim met his wife, Marissa Paco and her lovely daughter Marionne. They got married shortly after, stayed with his dad for over a year in Groundbirch, lived in Chetwynd for almost ten years, and moved one more time to Sooke, BC, where he remained until he died of heart failure. Jim loved to be around family and loved his nieces and nephews. He spent many hours with them being as much of a kid as they were. He always had such pride in all of them. Jim portrayed a tough exterior throughout his health challenges, he maintained such a positive attitude and was thankful for everything in his life, if you caught him on the right day. He exhibited a great amount of strength and faith through his bad days. It was important for him to be wellgroomed at all times and kept an immaculate house. Our lives are made of both the experiences we have and the people we meet along the way. Jim touched each one of our lives in many different ways, maybe not always in a positive way but he had a kind soul deep down inside and a love that he wasn’t always sure how to demonstrate. Although we will always miss having him near, both our memories and his life will remain with us forever. Jim was predeceased by both his parents Raymond and Adele Thola and his older brother Tommy Thola and his nephew Ryley Nicholas Smithard. He is survived by his wife, Marissa Paco Thola, daughter Marionne Lugay, mother-in-law, Roberta Paco, older brothers Leroy (Linda), Dave (Margo), sister Mary-Ann (Ray) Smithard, younger brothers Ken (Beth) Thola, Bob (Brenda) Thola, and numerous nieces and nephews. A funeral service was held on September 12, 2013 at the Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church, Dawson Creek officiated by Father Louis Kwena and was inurned in the Sunset Prairie Cemetery, Sunset Prairie. Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Dawson Creek, British Columbia

Fancy football footwork as Spartans win against Nanaimo Hello football fans! With over 20 players playing for the Spartans in the Westshore, Coach Andy reporting on yesterday’s Peewee (nine to 11-year-olds) game in Nanaimo. Pictured is Caleb “budder” Carrier with one of his many blocks after centering the ball, while Spencer “the tank” fought his way to three touchdowns on the day. Carrier enjoyed a whopping 90 per cent snapping success for the day — no small feat at 10-and-ahalf years old. Not to mention great ball carries and blocking from Hunter “amazing” Swift. Jared “leg-

of-Steele” kicked five converts and place kicking the ball so far down the field it was in another postal code. Both Steele and Logan got numerous downfield tackles, causing fumbles, and stealing the ball back (the only time stealing is OK). Jared, on a kick-off himself, ran over 35 yards and tackled the ball carrier. Final score was Spartans 42 to Nanaimo 0. Missing on the day (due to illness) AvAn “pitbull” Wickheim. What a great day for these Sooke athletes.

Katya Silvester

Britt Santowski photos

This weekend’s Peewee’s C1s and C2s enjoyed a rigorous practice at SEAPARC this past weekend.

Congratulations to Katya Silvester! Not only has she been nominated to be a SEAPARC Star; she is also the winner of our Drowning Prevention Week Scavenger Hunt! Katya correctly answered all 12 questions and for her effort she won a free set of swimming lessons! Katya started coming to SEAPARC when she was only 4 years old; and has participated in many of our programs since then. She is 8 years old and in grade 4 at Ecole Poirier where she is in the French Immersion program. Katya told us that her favourite subjects in school are History, Art and Music. She is enrolled in SEAPARC’s Basketball Program and says that she likes it a lot. Katya attended many of our Summer Camps this year, takes swimming lessons, belongs to a Cub pack and looks forward to becoming a Scout someday. She is an artistic young lady who is talented in theatre, singing, drawing and photography (just to name a few). She had 22 entries in this year’s Sooke Fall Fair. She makes her own comic strips and likes to read. She speaks English and French, is learning Russian from her Grandma and wants to learn Spanish too so she can travel the world when she’s older. She has an interest in history and politics and considers herself to be very socially aware. Katya has travelled to Russia to visit relatives and came back wanting to learn the language in case she ever moves there. She plans to be a photographer, an actress and an artist when she grows up. We have no doubt that you will achieve anything that you set your mind to Katya. It was a pleasure to speak with you and congratulations on both being nominated as a Star and for winning a set of free swim lessons! You are truly an amazing girl!

Tour fundraising a team effort Charla Huber Black Press

Training for the Tour de Rock may be more daunting than the actual tour, but riders Donna Fraser and Mike Oliver are gearing up for the challenge. And both riders are thrilled their spouses are so supportive. Learning to clip into peddles on a bicycle was the first skill novice rider Donna Fraser learned for the 2013 Tour de Rock. “I’d never clipped into peddles before, it took a tumble or two to get it, but I don’t think I will go back now,” she said. The West Shore RCMP auxiliary constable is no stranger to the tour, – her husband, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser, was a tour rider in 2011. “As an alumni rider I can come out on the training rides,” Rod said. “It’s really neat to see her doing it.” Rod trains with the team whenever he isn’t working. “He’s awesome to have supporting me, especially knowing he’s done it before,” Donna said. “He has helped me tremendously and he’s been an awesome support.” Before being accepted for the Tour team, neither Fraser nore Donna were avid cyclists, but the couple has found a passion for cycling and say it’s something they will continue to do together after the Tour. “I know what she’s going through as far as training is going,” Rod said. “Right now they are training her for the physical aspects but nothing can prepare you for the emotional part. For me it was very emotional.”

Tour de Rock team members Sgt. Mike Oliver, military police, and West Shore RCMP auxiliary officer Donna Fraser have found strong fundraising support from their spouses. Arnold Lim/News staff

Meanwhile, Sgt. Mike Oliver is happy to have a stable posting at CFB Esquimalt as a military police officer. A 16-year military veteran who joined the police in 2002, he has spent much of career deployed overseas, including hotspots like Bosnia and Afghanistan. This year he joined the tour as he was fortunate enough to be in the country and was eager to take part. “I’ve spent a lot of my time deployed and I have been helping people abroad,” Oliver said. Oliver’s wife Tracey has been

instrumental in his fundraising. “This has been for her as much of a journey as it’s been for me,” he said. “She’s been on board with every fundraiser. She’s been in the dunk tank and done car washes.” Mike’s fundraisers have been so successful he reached his initial goal of $5,000 months ago. He doubled his goal to $10,000 and just surpassed that one too. Oliver has always led an active lifestyle through running, going to the gym and playing hockey. This is the first time he’s ever spent so much time training on a bike.

Thanks to my Neighbours for helping me get Jake back home safely!

“Riding in a group setting isn’t the same as just riding on the road. You really have to pay attention to what you are doing,” he said. The 2013 Tour de Rock team began training in March and has trained hard three days a week working on hills, speed and distance training. Originally from Ottawa, training for the Tour has been a way for Mike to explore Greater Victoria and have a chance to see Vancouver Island tip-to-tip. “I’ve never been past Courtenay,” he said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Stationary spinners chasing big bucks … on a catch-and-donate basis Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

What has two wheels, 10 legs and 12 hours in motion? Why, a group of EMCS Leadership course spinners, of course And what might the Leadership spinners be chasing on those stationary bikes? To raise money for Cops for Cancer. Of course. Teacher Colin ScottMoncrieff and Leadership student Kaarina Swinburnson, took time out of their lunch-hour to provide the details of their fundraising efforts. As Scott-Moncrieff explained, “we have three events that we have to try and support Cops for Cancer, all of them run through the Leadership class.” It is run by the students, and his role is to act as a support resource. This year, the three events are a bottle drive, a car wash, and a Spin-a-thon. First on the calendar are the bottle drive and car wash, which will be happening September 21. The bottle drive is

spear-headed by Leadership student Jade Lothrop. Any returnable bottles can be dropped off at the west parking lot at EMCS anytime between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. S i m u l t a n e o u s l y, there will also be a car wash at the A&W parking lot, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., also on September 21. The car-wash is being organized by Kaarina Swinburnson. Currently in Grade 12, Swinburnson has participated in the Leadership course since Grade 10. In correspondence, Swinburnson noted that there would be about 40 kids involved in the car wash, and while there won’t be one particular key moment of the day, she does slyly add that “the final money count is one of the highlights.” All proceeds will be going towards Cops for Cancer. In other words, if the exterior of your car gets really dirty while transporting your returnables to EMCS, you may as well get your car washed as well.

Students will wash your car by donation, with a suggested minimum donation of $5. The third event, the Spin-a-thon, will take place at EMCS on Thursday, September 26. Leadership students will form into teams of five or six, and these teams will spin (in shifts) for 12 hours straight, starting at 7 a.m. Leadership students will be fundraising for the Spin-a-thon over the next week, as they need to raise a certain amount of money in order to enter a spinning team. Scott-Moncrieff is anticipating that each rider brings in $100 in sponsorship donations. Stationary bicycles are being donated by Sooke Health and Fitness. When asked by the Sooke News Mirror why they are donating the bikes, club manager Rachel Dyer said, “Because it is for a good cause, and it’s helps the community.” Deeply appreciative, Scott-Moncrieff said, “It would flop without them.” In total, the Leadership group is hoping to raise

Community Grants

Kaarina Swinburnson, a Grade 12 student at the Edward Milne community school, takes charge of the Cops for Cancer carwash. upwards to $5,000 for Cops for Cancer through all three campaigns. According to the EMCS course description, the Leadership course “is designed to give students an awareness of social and civic responsibility along with an understanding of effective styles and methods. It is run outside the timetable throughout the year, including before school meetings, and will involve volunteer activities. Considerable emphasis is on individual project work. This is a tremendous oppor-

tunity for students who want to contribute to the life of the school and community.” The Leadership course is available to students in Grades 10, 11 and 12. This year, according to ScottMoncrieff, there are 85 students enrolled in the Leadership course. It runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, starting at 7:30 a.m., so the students have a level of commitment from the beginning. The course is being taught by two teachers, Colin Scott-Moncrieff and Todd Powell.

Barb’s gone bananas!

Barb Vix, who lives on Kemp Lake Road, sent in these pictures of the banana trees in front of her house. Her partner, Bill Ganner, stood beside the tree to give some perspective of their relative size. The fruit is pretty tiny but edible nonetheless, as are the leaves. The warm summer this year sprouted five bunches of bananas. “Every year I get bananas, but this year’s been exceptional,” said Vix. “I think it’s the weather.”
