The public is not at risk, say Sooke RCMP after a woman’s body was discovered on a quiet residential street in Sooke. RCMP received a call at around 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 20, of a deceased woman in a house on the 2200 block of French Road. Pamella Dyer, 64, was found dead in her Sooke home. There is no one in custody in regard to the suspected homicide at this point. The death is being treated as suspicious and the neighbours are being

canvassed. Thirty-six-year-old Michael James McCormick, Dyer’s son was arrested Sunday night. He is charged with one count of uttering threats against his exgirlfriend’s boyfriend and remains in police custody. Police would not confirm that he is a suspect in his mother’s death, although neighbours have said police have been called to the house several times in the past month. McCormick suffered from addiction and mental health problems say
some of those who knew Dyer and he had spent time in jail. The investigation into the cause of death is being done by the Sooke RCMP, the Vancouver Island Major Crime Section, and the BC Coroner’s office. Dyer was the bar manager at the Legion in Sooke for many years. She retired three or four years ago. Dyer had attended Esquimalt secondary school. Condolences are being shared on Dyer’s Facebook page. They say she was kind and had ambition for life.

Sooke News Mirror
Two public hearings were held at the Juan de Fuca Local Area Services building on Wednesday, July 16. At issue were two bylaws, Bylaw 3922 and 3929, which dealt with definitions of Medical Marijuana Licenced Producer and to define and regulate marijuana production facilities in both Otter Point and Port Renfrew. The intent is to define and regulate marijuana production facilities as Intensive Agriculture Medical Marijuana on lands with the Agricultural Land Reserve. The actual Bylaw will be reviewed to deter-
mine specifically how particular lands may be affected, There were only three people who came forward to ask questions of the bylaw amendment. Currently there is an application in for a grow-op and processing facility in the industrial park in Otter Point. The facility will not be a drive-to dispensary, any medical marijuana will be sent out to the customer. Everything is accountable to the government. The facility could employ up to 10 people and intensely strict security will be in place. Criminal record checks, security cameras monitoring everything and every square

inch, intensive reports, safety features, types of clothing, etc. Every single scrap off the marijuana plants are accounted for as is the amount shipped from the facility. Both bylaws will go before the CRD Board on July 23 for third reading.
The Honourable Judith Guichon Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia graced Sooke with her presence on the morning of July 19 to commemorate the 150th year of the founding of Leechtown with the unveiling of a new monument at the Kampoor Regional Park Reserve (formerly a part of Leechtown). The Vancouver Island Placer Miners Association (VIPMA) committed to construct a new monument for Leechtown, about 3.5 years ago, as the old one exists on private land, is dilapidated and is not available to the general public. In partnership with CRD Parks, CRD Water Shed, VIPMA started the process of re-connecting with potential stake holders to resurrect a new monument. Representing VIPMA were Bruce Chaytor as chair, Bart van Den Berk, co-chair and Donna Chaytor, coordinator of the event. In attendance were Wendal Milne, the mayor of Sooke, Chief Gordon Planes, of the T’Sou-ke Nation, Elder Shirley Alphonse, and a long list of representatives from various historical associations. On Saturday, the years of planning came to pass. After several brief presentations, a new commemorative monument was unveiled by Her Honour Judith Guichon and VIPMA chair Bruce Chaytor.

I was driving out to East Sooke last Sunday and a doe and her twins ran across the road. The last baby had a broken leg and my heart just sank. It was getting left behind and I knew what that meant. I called my partner who got in touch with Wild Arc. Well you guessed it, there really was nothing they could do. I have also noticed a lot of large bucks around with large antlers still growing. Please be careful and slow down… many of us call them “hoofed rodents” but they are beautiful!

addressed the crowd with a lovely poem by Robert Service, and shared memories her time in the Yukon and her connection to gold. Bart van den Berk author of the recently released The History of Leechtown Part 1, had his daughter Laura present a copy of his book to Her Honour. The book is based on the authentic journals and letters of the Vancouver Island Exploring Expedition on the discovery of gold. On hand was Fred Zarelli, the eldest person with knowledge of the Leechtown area. Also in attendance was special guest, Beverly Smith who was born in Leechtown in the early 1940’s. Leechtown has a long history which was started with the announcement of payable gold, and was followed by many diverse people and ways of life in the past 150 years. Leechtown and the area has always had a way to stay in the hearts of people as a special place, and as such deserves the recognition of a bit of special attention for her 150th Commemoration. Celebrations continued into the afternoon at the Sooke Regional Museum, which included outdoor events, music, food, and some very fine beverages. Her Honour Judith Guichon toured the Sooke Region Museum for about 30 minutes with the museum’s executive director Lee Boyko and president of the Sooke Historical Society Ray Vowles.

Port Renfrew on the brink of discovery Britt Santowski
The wilderness is what Port Renfrew is all about.
Sooke News Mirror

P
ort Renfrew. On first glance, it appears to be an accidental splatter of about 200 surfers, fishermen, and tree huggers all living in an unorganized sprawl. Which is to say that there’s no “downtown” per se, although there is a school, business centre, store and library. Here, and there, and over yonder. It is also home to the Pacheedaht First Nation, who according to Aboriginal Affairs have 121 members living on reserve lands in Port Renfrew, with a total registered population of 268. Anyway you cut it, the numbers are small. But if you lift that up just a tiny corner of that lazy hazy blanket, you might just discover a vibrant, growing community that is at the brink of being discovered by the outside world. According to Karl Ablack, the Director/ Sales of Live Port Renfrew, it’s a community ready to explode into a fully fledged profitable tourism town. “We’re on the precipice,” said Ablack, “and things are going to really begin to catapult … within the next two years.” As far as population growth, Ablack sees the opportunity for telecommuters, remote labourers (as in Fort MacMurray), and young families interested in capitalizing in one of the remaining affordable places on the island to buy a home. VancouverIsland.com puts the pop-
ulation at 190. And there’s work to be had too, albeit seasonal. “If you want work, come up here,” said Rosie Betsworth, referencing the many season opportunities in the tourism industry. Betsworth is the former president of Port Renfrew’s chamber of commerce, business woman, and currently works with Ablack on the Live Port Renfrew project. “There’s a lot of need for trades up here,” said Ablack, referencing the last few years of development seen in their community. The tourism industry appears to be booming. “I’ve got rental cabins. We’re sitting at about 85 - 87 per cent occupancy for the summer,” said Betsworth. “This is the best summer we’ve had so far, and I think it’s just because Renfrew is finally on the map.” Betsworth refers to the glossy Port Renfrew flier that lists over 25 accommodations, over 10 fishing charters, and campsites, marinas, restaurants, stores and other businesses in town. “People are coming

faster than the services are,” observed Dan Hager, president of Port Renfrew’s Chamber of Commerce. Hager is also a member of the Live Port Renfrew group. Key to the growth in the tourism industry in Port Renfrew, speculate all three, is the completion of the Pacific Marine Circle Route (complete in 2009). The construction of the Sombrio Bridge #1 has also helped straighten the road, making it less hazardous to travel. In total, over $20 million in improvements have tremendously benefitted the little town of Port Renfrew. A 2012 pamphlet from the Port Renfrew Development Fund speculated that some of the interest might be driven by the development of an iron ore mine near Port Renfrew, known as the Pearson Project. A 2013 document from the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines reports, “Reconnaissance work began in 2013 and the Ministry of Mines is processing a Notice of Work that includes drilling.

Ore Corp published an inferred resource for the Bugaboo Creek area in 2011 consisting of 14.3 million tonnes averaging 60% magnetite at a cut off of 20% magnetite.” The Pacific Iron Ore Corporation’s website reports that as of March 31, 2011, the Pearson Project had “285 claims on Vancouver Island cover a combined 170,648 hectares. These are split 266 claims and 162,420 hectares for the Port Renfrew Block and 19 claims and 8,228 hectares on the unexplored northern claims.” Our requests for comment to the Pacific Iron Ore Corporation went unanswered, so there is no confirmation or denial of a possible mine in the Port Renfrew vicinity. But whatever the driving force, the recent road improvements are indeed driving many tourists to Port Renfrew, say the three from the Live Port Renfrew project. Which has in turn created a very furtive environment from business start-ups. The opportunities may
exist for those willing to take a chance. Be forewarned though, the entrepreneurial gains won’t be instant, said Hager. “They’re not going to make money like that,” says Hager, snapping his fingers to make the point. “They have to go in with some cash and get set up. And sit there and wait. Because they are coming.” And according to this group, they have already been found by tourists. By many, locally and from afar. And business has been year-round. Hager co-owns Handsome Dan cottages together with France Turcotte. Business is booming, year round, at the cottages. Hager estimates that over the winter months, they are at 70 per cent capacity. But for all its anticipated growth, its magic is in the wilderness. Port Refrew is the gateway to many hiking trails, freshwater and ocean fishing, surfing, kayaking and canoing, crabbing, whale watching and bird watching. There are a number of beaches for day trips and camping. And Port Renfrew is also home to the Davey Derby and the Tall Tree Festival. Betsworth, Ablack and Hager all see a clear opportunity for Port Renfrew to position itself as a natural destination similar to Tofino, but much, much closer. It’s pristine wilderness sits at the doorsteps of Victoria, only about two hours away. “It’s raw, unfiltered nature,” said Betsworth. “People get a chance to relax out here.”

It’s hard to see clearly in this 1927 photo, but on the porch facing Sooke Road are three figures, each important in our history. When I drive by I notice the house still stands today, on the upland side of the road in Saseenos, and it seems like the current owners may have recently done further alterations. On the porch are John Murray, Margaret King and her father Charles King. We’re not sure what year the house was built, but the acreage was purchased in the mid1920s, by Charles King of Otter Point, soon after the 1,000 acre subdivision of Saseenos was developed for sale in 1920/21.
Charles King, an English gardener and orchardist, had arrived in Otter Point in about 1898 (think King Road). In 1903 his sweetheart by correspondence, Jane Camp, came out to join him in their Otter Point log cabin. Middleaged when she arrived, Mrs. King was in delicate health after giving birth to a daughter Fanny Margaret in 1907. Jane King passed away when baby Margaret was three, and the little girl went to live with the Murrays (think Murray Road). Mrs. Murray had recently retired as matron of the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and married Scottish immigrant John Murray, who served as a local Justice of the
Peace. Childless themselves, the couple was devoted to the little girl. By the 1920s Charles King had left Otter Point and was trying out life in sunny Saseenos. His acreage was dissected by the gulley which carried Saseenos Creek, and he built a curved wooden bridge to join the two halves of the property (it backed onto Blythwood), planting fruit trees and rows of raspberrries for the Victoria market. After the passing of Charles King, the cottage was home to his daughter Margaret and her new husband, Danish immigrant Kai Jensen, who had married in 1929. Before long the young couple had sold and moved to larger
property to run a dairy farm a bit further east on Saseenos Creek. Families that I recall living in this cottage in the following years included the Learys, the Jenners, and the Philip Paskins. By the 1980s the cottage was home to retired federal diplomat Murray Cook and his wife. Almost 90 years since it was built by a carpenter neighbor, William Dempster Brown, this house has seen many additions including a basement, and it has surely seen almost a century of good healthy country living as well.

The Pastor's Pen In the world today there is an increasing diversity in the source of learning for ethics and values. This, of course, is a factor which accompanies a diverse and culturally varied community. Since the 1950’s one of the most powerful influencers of culture and values has been the television. Broadcast into our homes at any given moment is a plethora of visual and aural opinions of what is and what is not important to us. I know that many people say they don’t really listen or accept what is said through this medium, but the fact of the matter is that, subtly and consistently, our worldview is not only influenced, but changed through the window of television. What once was described as “common knowledge” is no longer common, due to the many differing sources of information. Increasingly it is the opinion of the reporters rather than the actual facts that are being expressed. The Psalm of our day has become: The TV is my Shepherd; I shall not want. It makes me lie down on the sofa. It leads me away from the Bible, It destroys my soul. It leads me in the paths of sex and violence, For the sponsor’s sake. Yea, though I walk in the shadow of my Christian responsibilities, There will be no interruptions; For the TV is with me. It’s cable and it’s remote control-- They comfort me. It prepares a commercial before me, In the presence of my worldliness. It anoints my head with humanism. My coveting runs over. Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house watching TV forever. You may think this bit of satire does not relate to you, but do not fool yourself! No longer can we say, “You are what you eat” but we can definitely declare, “You are what you watch!” Perhaps it is time for us to seriously look at what our true source of teaching and value is. If we spent as much time reading the Bible as we spent watching television, would we have the opinions we do? Would we think differently? Would our worldview be the same? Pastor Gordon Kouwenberg

Garrison sums up Parliament in June June brought the end of what seemed a very long session of Parliament, especially since the Conservatives forced sittings to midnight every night for the last month. They also set a new record for cutting off debate by using time allocation 75 times in the last session. As soon as Parliament adjourned the Conservatives started making announcements in the hope of escaping scrutiny during Question Period in the House of Commons. Several of these announcements will have big impacts locally. Hot on the heels of adjournment came Jason Kenny’s “reforms” to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program. Previously the Conservatives had argued there was nothing wrong with a program that had brought nearly 450,000 temporary workers into the country and left them vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous employers, not to mention the program’s impact on keeping ser-
vice sector wages low and making it hard for young Canadians to get entry level jobs. Kenney’s changes promise to cut the number of future temporary workers in half, but will not displace those who already came here under the program in good faith. Just after adjournment we also learned that the Harper government has cut the funding to the Pathway Youth Employment Project on the Westshore. This is an extremely successful program for getting at risk youth into jobs or back into school, something that happened over 90 per cent of the time over the 13 years it has been operating. When you think of the loss of potential for these youth and the future social costs associated with the failure to meet their needs, this program is a bargain. I issued a press release expressing my concerns about the canceling of this project and I also wrote to the Minister asking that
this bad decision be overturned. June marks the beginning of what some call “Pride season” in Canada with events stretching across the country throughout the summer. This year Toronto hosted World Pride and the World Pride Human Rights Conference. I was honoured to be asked to chair a session at the conference and to be part of what was probably the largest and most diverse LGBTQ human rights gathering ever. I am disappointed to report that the Conservatives in the Senate are continuing to block my Private Member`s Bill C -279, the bill that would close the gap in Canada’s human rights record by guaranteeing equal rights for transgender Canadians. Just days before MPs left Ottawa the Conservatives announced their unpopular deci-

That day I was proud to stand with NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair and all 12 of our BC NDP MPs at a live news conference to express our unanimous opposition to the Northern Gateway project. As most of you know I have long been an opponent of expanding pipelines for oil export and the resulting increase in tanker traffic on our wild west coast. These pipeline projects not only threaten our local environment and existing sustainable jobs in tourism and fishing, but they also represent a stubborn failure to recognize the urgent need to begin the transition to a low carbon economy now.

Public safety should be the #1 priority Sooke is no longer the sleepy little town where you can leave your doors unlocked and know your vehicle won’t be ransacked for spare change. We have crime here. Two deaths in the past two years have made their way onto the pages of newspapers and in both cases, it appears that mental health issues were contributing factors. We can provide medication to those who need it, but we can’t force them to take them. That’s where our system fails. Human rights and liberties supercede public safety in many cases. Our mental health system is overwhelmed with people in need and there are fewer and fewer resources available. There is no place for some of these people to go and they end up on the streets or back at their parents’ homes. No parent will deny helping their child, even if they are in danger. When is the government going to realize that turning people with severe mental health problems out into society is like giving them a ticking time bomb? When will the health system recognize their responsibility to all of us? It’s not just about money, it’s about assessing those who are at risk and putting everyone in a safe zone. There has to be a way to deal with those with mental health issues, and addictions whether they are alcohol or drug related. Because of this we have more property crime, homelessness and threats. It doesn’t have to be the way it is and it could change if there was the will from government. It’s a real shame. On another note, the recent incidents along isolated roads around Sooke of men trying to get women into cars serves as a warning. Pay attention to what is going on around you. Don’t put yourself in harm’s way and report anything suspicious. Sooke is still an amazing place and it is safe for the most part, it’s just important to use common sense and to watch out for each other.

What do you expect when you call 9-1-1-? When British Columbians call 9-1-1 to seek emergency medical assistance, they do so because they are experiencing a situation that requires an immediate response beyond their own capabilities. Firefighters, as the first responders in BC, are generally first on-scene and provide medical and scene management support until paramedics are able to respond. Last fall BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) made changes to how it allocates its resources by having ambulances respond to certain medical calls in a “routine or non-priority” manner as opposed to previous designation of “emergency or lights and sirens.” The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) argued these changes contained in the Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) were necessary to improve response times for those patients with the most urgent medical needs. At the BCPFFA, we’re calling this move what it really is: the Ambulance Service’s scramble, as directed by the BCEHS, to manage a shortage of available ambulances and paramedics. The BCPFFA is strongly opposed to these changes and supports the call for more ambulances and paramedics. As any emergency worker can tell you, once a call is downgraded to non-priority from emergency, the timeline to get to the incident changes. Our members have seen a number of cases where patients in distress (heavy bleeding, head injuries, spinal injuries and loss of con-
sciousness) are being considered non-priority, leading to increasingly longer response times by ambulances, which we find simply unacceptable. Since these changes were quietly implemented last fall, firefighters across the province are noticing much longer wait times for paramedics to arrive at an incident. In an increasing number of cases the wait for an ambulance can be between 40 and 50 minutes longer than before the protocol changes. Is this what you expect when you call 9-1-1? One of the biggest obstacles professional firefighters encounter in serving the needs of their communities is the inability for simultaneous dispatch, where 9-1-1 operators can send what the system views as an appropriate level of response. Fire is dispatched only when certain criterion is met or after it’s determined that an ambulance is unavailable to respond as required. Critical minutes are lost in this process, and timely on-scene assessment and patient care is being compromised. In our view, operators should be sending on-duty trained firefighters to determine the level of patient care needed and granting them the authority to upgrade or downgrade the level of response required by ambulance. No matter how skilled 9-1-1 operators are, only trained responders on scene can effectively prioritize patient care for the best possible results. In Canada, the standards for emergency medical response are
less than nine minutes in nine out of 10 calls, or in the 90th percentile. BCAS chooses to report only average response times, which in our view is not a true reflection of how emergency responses should be disclosed. The North American standards are much higher, at four to six minutes for most medical emergent calls. BCEHS targets 12 minutes, and meets that goal 52 percent of the time for the highest priority calls. Prior to the recent RAP changes, first responders attended 35 percent of medical calls. By changing its response to 74 of 868 call types, including downgrading 39 to non-priority, BCEHS is condoning a delayed response to the emergent needs of your community. Is this acceptable to you and your loved ones when emergency medical care is required? We are urging the government through the BCEHS to return the medical response to what the Cain Report in 1989 envisioned of an ambulance service, which was a layered response, with firefighters being simultaneously dispatched to medical emergencies within their community’s jurisdiction. Wait times are becoming dangerously long and putting undue stress on those in need of immediate care. Michael Hurley is president of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters Association (BCPFFA)

We asked: What is the value of public markets, to Sooke?
It’s an opportunity to showcase locally made food and art. It’s an important part of our community-based economy.
The value is tremendous. It brings the people out, and families with their children. It’s a great way to showcase what Sooke has to offer.
The value of any community market is to bond the people with those who bake and create their own food. It bonds people with others who care for the environment.
It is a awesome opportunity for locals to share their skills, whether it's art, jewelry, gardening or other things. It brings the community of Sooke together.

Town without mercy The phone just rang and we are starting to feel like if we are going to become crazy sooner than what we have thought we would be. At noon a couple will be dropping a cat they cannot take care of her any more and we are happy to receive it. We thank people who bring them to us instead of abandoning them in isolated areas. In addition to welcoming this gorgeous white female cat, we also have to go pick up five more kittens from the colony we have been working on during this past week. Therefore, lets put all this in context: Without counting the other 16 adult cats and 26 kittens we have rescued since April, and without counting the males that we have not yet caught from the property we are working on, the total number of cats rescued just from this tax payers’ home in Sooke raised to six pregnant females and eight kittens. The six mothers will produce another 30 cats raising up the number of animals saved to 44 cats. In other words, saving these animals and stopping feline overpopulation has become the responsibility of good hearted citizens and not of politicians. The responsibility of finding money to feed, shelter, spay/neuter/
letters
de-worm/vaccinate/deflea, and provide medical attention to these 44 victims of humankind lays just on those with compassion and not on those with power. Forty four cats do not seem too much, but when we calculate that in two years 1,450 new cats would be born from just one female the scenario statistics - and reasoning changes. SAFARS is preventing 63,800 new cats to be born just from one property. As the indifference of others grow regarding this ticking problem so does our alarming worry to find a piece of land where to keep these animals. As you all know by now, the owner of the barn we have been refurbishing for the past two years sold the property. The sad part of Sooke becoming like a town without mercy is that we are now searching to move to a more pet caring and friendly town. Margarita Dominquez Sooke
Response to Lewers letter
I just finished reading your opinion article in this week’s Sooke News Mirror and I have to say I am appalled and unsure of the purpose of you writing it.
It would be completely understandable if you were being awarded with the title of hero and in modesty argued the use of the term. To outrightly discredit and undervalue the acts of our firefighters, policemen and military is both spiteful and unnecessary. You argue that because they are trained and equipped they are exempt from this recognition. I argue that this does not negate the risk they are taking, it makes them educated and more effectively able to help those they are serving. In fact, having the time to fully understand and contemplate the risk they are assuming makes them even more heroic. I am the wife of an individual who is both a volunteer firefighter and member of the military. I can tell you from first hand experience, every time my husband answers a page from the fire hall or is deployed on a military exercise I cannot completely relax until I know he has completed the task at hand and is safe. For an individual, especially a family man (or women) to put themselves in situations where the outcome is uncertain and their well-being; physically, emotionally, and mentally; are compromised is a heroic act. Given that you claim to have once been a member of the fire
department you must know of the likelihood of long term health effects brought on by exposure to the hazardous materials firefighters are exposed to. The emotional and mental turmoil of first responders is not to be taken lightly. I am extremely grateful for all service people who are ready at a moment’s notice to put their lives and the livelihood of their families on the line to serve our communities and country. Oh, and in case you are interested, the actual definition of a hero is “he·ro: noun; a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities; a person who is greatly admired” (taken from the Webster’s dictionary). I wish you all the best and are hopeful you have a change in attitude. Kristy Zinkowski Sooke
Intent of letter not understood It has come to my attention that some people in the fire department think I was or am actively trying to damage their recruiting campaign. Let me be clear, this could not be further from the truth. My letter was written over three weeks ago in
response to a Times Colonist article not related to fire departments, and was intended for both a national or regional publication, but it exceeded the word count. I had no idea about the “Community Hero” campaign that was about to be launched. As an ex-member of the fire department, I have continually fought politically for the rights of volunteers (although not always through spending of cash). I have faithfully backed the fire department via my Facebook account and actively encouraged people to join the volunteer fire service. Not once in my opinion piece did I attack anyone or intentionally undermine anyone, except perhaps media and politicians. This letter was to address what I perceive as a bigger issue than local, for me it represents an issue that impacts most of North America, and the lack of willingness of politicians to manage

Spot zoning for waste transfer I am concerned to find so much of our industrial land potentially zoned for Waste Transfer i.e., all properties zoned M2. In our case Canadian Food Inspection Agency mandates processing facilities must be located in a clean environment and specifies dust, insects, rodents, birds as being potential issues. Imagine their enthusiasm for rats gamboling about in the adjacent waste transfer facility. Imagine the enthusiasm of an international firm coming for a due diligence inspection of your facility. If we are ever to encourage clean high tech industry to our region we must consider they may not want to locate next to a property that could become a waste transfer facility. I believe sewage, garbage, composting are the responsibilities of the communities in which they are created. Planning for these issues is fundamental to the quality of life in a community. In this case let us look at spot zoning only and have our planning department work towards a real program

for garbage, waste recycling, and composting. Let’s stop shipping waste off for less worthy regions to deal with. Bryan Mooney Sooke
Park purpose statement and zoning Director Hicks, writing about motorized access to lakes in the CRD parks and park reserves, said he would like a shuttle service for the general public. He concluded that until the various parks plans are revised with the interest of all relevant stake holders considered, he won’t spend time on the issue. This is straightforward and practical. To say Director Hicks is “pandering
for cheap votes” is, in itself, demagoguery. The BC Parks zoning for Sooke Mountain Provincial Park is “Natural Environment.” While the zone does describe both mechanized and non-mechanized access generally, each park has its own plan. The management guidelines with the zoning key state that “visitor access may be restricted to preserve the recreation experience or to limit impacts.” The purpose statement and zoning plan for Sooke Mountain Provincial Park current in 2012 lists “environmental damage from mountain biking, dirt biking, horseback riding and ATV and 4x4 use” in management issues identified in 2003. Proposed mitigation includes working “with the CRD and private land holders

our affairs on facts and logic rather than emotion and easy votes. There are many great reasons to serve as a volunteer firefighter in any community, such as camaraderie, fitness, adrenaline rush, free training, serving the greater good of your community, helping others, being part of a great organization, annual banquets, reduced tax burden etc. and these positives should be marketed to any potential recruits. I find it very doubtful that my observations of politicians and media over use of the word “hero” to describe such a broad spectrum of groups, acts, or animals, would have any impact on recruiting, and if anyone is wanting to join just so that they can be called a hero, well, I would just question if that would be the right person for the job.

to close 4x4 access in order to address the impacts.” Under Recreation, the plan states that “ATV and 4x4 use and dirt biking are not considered appropriate uses in the park.” Marking the park boundaries is a response to the issue of people not recognizing when they are in the provincial park. Access to private property in the Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt is a problem for the property owners. Access to private property that runs through parks, Crown land or other private property should not be confused with giving motorized vehicles access to the parks or lakes in the parks, or other privately held parcels.

Cont’d from page 10 gust, the “Another View” article in your July 16 edition. Given the argument, I am compelled to speak on two important points. Firstly, while Mr. Lewers is certainly afforded the right to his own opinion on the definition of “hero,” what I find so disappointing is the clear intent behind the timing and subject of the thinly veiled attack. The article has taken aim at the tagline of the most recent recruiting initiative launched by Sooke Fire Rescue Service - an initiative with the objective of increasing the number of volunteer firefighters and, subsequently, the level of fire protection service provided to this community. The act of degrading firefighter reputations and actively working to denigrate their role in the community, all in

do a disservice to the fire department, but a disservice to the entire community by taking actions that encourage the continuation of a deficit in fire protection. Secondly, Mr. Lewers identifies the status of hero as reserved for one who takes actions that most others would not in a given circumstance. In a community of about 10,000 people, there are approximately 30 men and women who have stepped forward and

By Mr. Lewers’ own evaluation, this made each of those men and women a hero the moment they came forth. I agree.

Catling (nee Rogers), Jeanne Marguerite Jeanne Marguerite (Rogers) Catling passed away peacefully at the Cottonwood Care Centre Kelowna BC on July 9, 2014. A skilled artist, quilter, home maker and pet lover, she will be greatly missed by her friends and family: son Roger, brother Jack, grandchildren, Jennifer, Jay, Jessie, Susan, Augustus and Juanita. She was pre-deceased by her husband Ronald (2000) and daughter Bonnie (2006). Jeanne’s last wish was to be able to spend time in the remote wilderness at her summer home in Reliance NWT. There she spent her last lucid six months reminiscing on her wonderful 85 years. There are few who get to do everything they want in life, and Jeanne was one of the very lucky ones who was able to. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching her name under stories. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna, BC ph: 250-762-2299.
LARSEN, Julie Ann
October 1, 1963 – July 14, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Julie Ann Larsen on July 14, 2014. Julie was Baptised at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Sooke, BC and is now with the Lord . “Jewels� to her many friends and “Dewey� to her Sister, was born October 1, 1963 in New Westminster, BC. Predeceased by her parents Valerie Elizabeth Phillips and Bruno Larsen, Julie is survived by her loving sister and brother-inlaw. Julie spent her early years attending school in Port Moody, BC and enjoyed many activities including softball, ice skating and music. After school, she went on many adventures and settled for a time in Glendale California where she made many friends and graduated from college as a Medical Assistant. Julie loved the sun, sand, palm trees and her beloved cats Bonkers and Spud. Julie will always be remembered for her amazing sense of humour and sweet polite demeanor. While she is now with the Lord, she will forever live on in our memories and our hearts. Julie will be interred at a later date in Sussex, New Brunswick. A special Thank You to the Community of Sooke, BC for all the kindness bestowed upon her. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Holy Trinity Church, Sooke, BC. Love you Dewey.

Bantam boys rank fifth overall at the BC Summer Games Submitted photo

It’s 4:20 a.m. on Thursday July 17 and Zone 6 (Vancouver Island Central Coast) boys baseball team eagerly await their big yellow limousine to take them to the Nanaimo BC Summer games 2014. Over 3,000 participants all hoping to win that medal. With their well-worn carry on baseball bags in hand, these Bantam boys were prepared to battle some fierce competition over the next three days against a number of teams from across B.C. Our dedicated entourage of 14 players and three coaches have worked especially hard for this opportunity to represent our corner of the province and make our community proud. Coaches Marty Dunn, Rod Nyberg and Mike Connor — the “Old Dogs” as they prefer to
be called — chaperoned our sportsmen with integrity and pride. Our team, in their bright green T-shirts, played consistently hard, encouraging one another with the bleacher creatures doing the same. As the games unfolded and the hot sun beating down
on the players came to an end, Zone 6 placed fifth overall. With heads held high, and great friendships and memories to take with them from this experience, these boys threw their bags back on their shoulders and headed for home. The Westerns’ tourna-
ment in Duncan will soon be approaching and these young men will be back on the Sooke fields to sharpen their skills for the final round of the ball season. If you see us practising, honk your horn and wish us luck. Submitted by Michelle Wass

The event was for skateboarders and BMX riders up to the age of 18, and ran from 12 noon to 4 p.m. In spite of calls for rain, the participants were graced by a strong appearance of the sun.

Funding support provided, in part, by the BC Government’s Buy Local Program; delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC with funding from the BC Ministry of Agriculture.
HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

t seems every tourist knows a little about Sooke that some of the locals forget about, and that’s the local shops that carry art and craft made by talents local artists. The business climate is striving to succeed and campaigns like “Shop Locally” are meant to remind residents what we have in our little seaside town. So, did you know the South Shore Gallery, which has been a mainstay on Otter Point Road for many many years is now in new hands? Jessie Taylor Dodd took over the retail space from Elizabeth Tanner earlier this year and has transformed the store to a

be combining her two stores, Sea of Bloom and Inspire into the larger location. Also on Otter Point Road are The Tale of the Whale, a unique store offering collectibles and First Nations Arts and a popular stop for tourists seeking West Coast native art. The Barking Dog took over their space from jeweler Jake Grant who now works out of the office building on Sheilds Road. A little further afield there is the Sooke Harbour House which has a craft store as well as art throughout the premises. Gallery row is becoming a reality as each new/old business takes a foot hold on that corner block between Sooke, West Coast and Otter Point Roads. Check them out.
said Dodd, whose mandate is to feature the best of local and regional artists and craftspeople. Sixteen of her gallery artists will be featured in the Sooke Fine Arts Show. They are all extremely good at what they do and the South Shore offers a yearround space for creative works. For the duration of the Sooke Fine Arts Show many of her gallery artists will be demonstrating their art at the South Shore Gallery, beginning on July 25 with Joanne Thomson. Painters, jewelry makers, clay sculptures and others will show how their creative processes work. The Sea of Bloom is moving from its current location on Sooke Road to Otter Point Road.

multi-instrumentalist that he is. Some periods he toured with Texas legend Freddy Fender, or folk-rocker Steve Forbert. Then, there were stints with country-rocker Steve Earle (who became his brother in-law). While being an opening act (with wife, Stacey Earle) for folk icon Joan Baez, Stuart so enamored the headliner that she would bring him onstage during her show to showcase his guitar work. This took place nightly on a twomonth tour. After touring hundreds of dates in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Europe the couple decided to join forces as an official duo (Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart). Some 2,000 concerts later, Mark has re-embarked on a solo

We have featured Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart on several occasions in the past. This time Mark is appearing on his own as Stacey is taking some time off from touring. After growing up in Nashville, TN and playing professionally from age 15 on, Mark Stuart set his sights on being a recording/touring artist. Much of the time in the 1980s and 90s he fronted his own roots music band in the southeastern U.S. The rock, blues, country, and folk mixture that poured from his vocals/guitar/piano/ songwriting defined

Getting ready for a musical jamboree Pirjo Raits
Sooke News Mirror
Jamboree: It’s defined as a large party or celebration with music and entertainment on one side and as a large gathering of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts on the other. Eric Day goes with the first definition, a large party or celebration. Day is envisioning a Jamboree at the Royal Canadian Legion in Sooke once a month. They will be jamming, and that’s where jamboree comes in. “We are going to kind of incorporate with the meat draw on Saturday afternoons,” said Day. “Then we’ll choose some jammers for Saturday night.” So, on the last Saturday during September, October and November, Day will organize the Saturday night music jamborees. He said there will be one band come in to perform each Saturday night at end of each month. During the meat draw, Day will have a group playing

The Aaron Murray Project will set the tone for a monthly musical jamboree. and he said if anyone wants to sing, they can come on down. And you don’t need to be a Legion member either to perform or come to the premises. There will be an admission fee on Saturday night and those proceeds will go towards building a new stage at the Legion. Food will also be available. The first band is already booked for September and that
would be Aaron Murray’s Project, a band from Victoria that writes their own music. They have performed at the Legion with Eric Day previously. Day said they play country music. All genres of music are open to the afternoon sessions. In fact, Day even invited
the folkies. “I’m asking for ideas now,” said Day. “I’m going into strange territory now.” Also, he said they need to let people know it’s going to happen. For more information call Eric Day at 250-6423553.
