People are getting water dumped on them and the goal is to raise awareness of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Steve Knoke, manager at SEAPARC has invited staff and SEAPARC participants to donate via the Facebook page @ als.ca. They are not currently tracking their contributions. The challenge involves people getting doused with buckets of ice water on video, posting that video to social media, then nominating others to do the same, all in an effort to raise ALS awareness. People can either accept the challenge or make a donation to an ALS Charity of their choice, or do both. The SEAPARC team passed on the challenge to the District of Sooke staff. Mike Hicks passed the challenge on to Sooke mayor and council as well as District of Sooke staff. Hicks was taking up the challenge presented to him by the City of Esquimalt. The participants from left to right are: Darcy Smith, Tara Seeburger, Megan MacKeigan, Morgan Gurbersky, Steve Knoke, Mike Hicks, Bryce McMath, Angela Petrie, Arran Wass-Little, Norris Wass-Little. Not shown in photo is Dylan Mack. The dumpers are kids at SEAPARC summer camp. They loved doing it!

Carving of artist’s hand goes missing four feet long and two and-a-half feet wide and as shown it can cradle a wee baby. “It’s carved by my hand of my hand,” he said. Steve spent more than 60 hours carving the hand after he found the cedar burl on the beach. Driftwood Steve is a carver and artist. He has numerous examples of his talent at the Sooke Harbour House. He calls it Art by Nature and that’s his only livelihood. “It’s sad, my only income is from my art,”

Sooke News Mirror

It’s the hand that cradles new life and it is missing. Driftwood Steve’s hand carved hand, which was at the Sooke Harbour House was pilfered from the grounds sometime around March 24, 2014. Steve was set to give the art piece to his niece but it went missing and he wants it back. He is offering a reward of $750 to whoever returns the red cedar carving. “The reward is to anyone who brings information to the return of the hand, no questions asked,” said Steve. The hand is about

You never really notice them when they are flying but when they are gone you just sense something is different. The American and Canadian flags have disappeared from the Legion. Someone came by late at night and stole everything but the flag pole. Whoever took the flag had to climb onto the roof to get at it. The Canadian flag flying at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 54 disappeared and now the Legion has to purchase another flag. That’s not all, they have to buy some kind of enhanced security flag pole so it doesn’t happen again. The American flag, flying on another pole, was brought down because it can’t fly alone without the Canadian flag. “It will cost us a lot of money,” said Legion manager Paul McTavish. “We need to get a new one so the Legion can fly the Canadian

he said in reference to the missing art piece. He fashions wooden flowers, gates, fences, arbors and all manner of creative pieces out of the driftwood he finds on the beaches in the Sooke area. He’s a wood salvager and a recycler, artist and craftsman. He asks anyone who may know where his piece is to just return it to where they found it or get in touch so he can retrieve it. Call Steve at 250-686-8974 or email to: artbynaturesteve@gmail.com.

all fairs have a way of bringing communities together. They used to be held at a time when farmers could finally relax after the crops came in. They would boast about the biggest pumpkins and the fattest chickens and they would visit with each other and relax a little. Family farms are the binder twine that holds all things together. This year the Sooke Fall Fair is celebrating the family farm in honor of the United Nations International Year of Family Farming. The Sooke Fall Fair takes place on September 6 and 7 at the Sooke Community Hall and across Eustace Road at the Legion. In her President’s Message, Ellen Lewers said, “our aim is to encourage the community to embrace their family farms (from backyard gardens to commercial producers) and gain better knowledge about local suppliers of healthy food and what they grow.” Along with the displays and exhibits of potatoes and flowers, knitting and quilting, and everything to do with growing, home arts and animals, there are some fun things to take part in. New this year is a family farm dance at Ed Macgregor Park on Saturday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Lewers encourages people to get into the spirit and get out and dance. “Dress as a farmer if you like and get ready to do the chicken dance,” said Lewers. Thinking back to what made fall fairs such an awaited event were things like pie eating contests and they

There are many activities for kids, check the Sooke Fall Fair calendar for times. will be having one at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the community hall. The event is open to everybody and there is no entry fee. Probably a change of clothes would be welcome after though. Kids make up a lot of the enthusiasm and there are a number of fun things for them to do. There will be a dunk the Barbie tank, Lucky Ducky, Tic Tac Toe and a whole bunch of other fun “unplugged” events. These will be run by youth groups in Sooke and the ticket money (50 cents) will go to those groups for their programs. This could be a really great way to introduce kids to life before computers, cell phones and electronic games. Let them look at the chickens and rabbits and other animals behind the community hall. The Pet Parade is a fun event where many

pets are dressed up and decorated. It’s fun to watch and fun for the kids to be involved in. Take the kids or grandkids on an oldfashioned hay ride and pony ride or race a zucchini in the Great Sookeini Race scheduled for 3 p.m. on Saturday. “We are really try-

ing to get the kids engaged,” said Lewers. If that isn’t enough to get the excitement happening, buy a ticket on the chicken plop bingo, come listen to the music, bring your entry in to be judged and then auctioned off. A happy face sticker will show which entries are up for auction.

Music will be playing throughout the two days on the stage as well. Come on down, have a seat and listen to some of Sooke’s musicians and singers giving their all. The beautiful Fall Fair Quilt will be raffled off as first prize and there are two other prizes this year. The quilt, of course, is first prize, with a basket of local meat valued at $250 as second prize and a produce and a value-added basket worth $150 as third prize. All the more reason to purchase a raffle ticket. All the proceeds go towards future fall fairs. Literary and photographic entries can be viewed upstairs at the Legion, across from the Sooke Community Hall on Eustace Road. It’s all there, everything that makes Sooke what it is. Old-fashioned? Absolutely! Fun? You bet! Community? Most certainly. For all the categories and list of events pick up a fall fair catalogue at retail outlets in Sooke.

They threw him over the back of a police car, handcuffed him and arrested him. He hadn’t done anything wrong and he did have his day in court. Little good it did him. Cries of police brutality and fixed juries went unheard. Sooke News Mirror publisher Rod Sluggett will have to serve time in jail. On September 13 Sluggett will begin serving the sentence imposed upon him by Judge Hang M. High. Prosecutor Yumas B. Guilty outlined all of the misdeeds carried out by Sluggett, which was everything from extended coffee breaks to jaywalking across Sooke Road. When arresting Sluggett Staff Sergeant Jeff McArthur said, “a guilty look is all you need.” On Saturday, September 13 the Sooke Committee for the Tour de Rock will build a jail at the kiosk area at Evergreen Centre to house “criminals” such as Sluggett. They will be jailed until such a time as they can raise the necessary bail. Bail raised can be used to release these prisoners or to keep them locked up. All of the “bail” money raised will go to Cops for Cancer. “We did this two years ago and made $7,500,” said Jane Beddows, organizer for Tour de Rock/Cops for Cancer. Bail money for Sluggett can be dropped off at the Sooke News Mirror office, #4-6631

the functional use of her arms and legs. She was unable to wash her own hair for seven years. It was a long and slow recovery but along the way Alanda was helped back to health by great Sooke health care providers. Eight years into recovery she became mobile enough to try a yoga class. The goal taking that first class was to not leave in an ambulance. When the class finished she was in tears - that yoga class changed her life. It meant that maybe she could have a life. Now, 24 years since the accident, Alanda Carver is finally in a position to give back to the community that has given her so much. She is opening a yoga studio at the Hope Centre. The studio will combine Ahimsa Yoga Studio with a not for profit Sooke Therapeutic Yoga Society. The goal is make yoga

Alanda Carver has created a yoga and wellness centre for therapeutic classes, some by donation. A long time Sooke resident is finally able to give back to her community in gratitude for all the blessings that she has received. Alanda Carver, is creating the Ahimsa Sooke Yoga and Wellness Centre in the new Hope Centre building located at 6750 West Coast Rd. Ahimsa Sooke opens September 2nd. It is a learning centre that will combine therapeutic yoga, and regular yoga classes, with practitioners of wellness such as nutritionists, acupuncturists, and counsellors. Alanda is a certified yoga teacher and long time resident of Muir Creek who was partially paralyzed in a car accident on West Coast Road in December of 1990. She was a passenger of a vehicle that was struck on the side and due to the spinal damage she sustained in the accident, she lost

A T’Sou-ke Chief and his princess Woven cedar bark, wool, feathers and blankets were part of the ceremonial dance costuming of T’Souke Hereditary Chief Andrew Lazzar and his daughters Mary and Susan. The year was 1928 and the occasion a “spirit dance” celebration at the Esquimalt Big House. Though today she would be unknown to many readers, the woman in the centre, Susan Lazzar was an incredibly interesting, generous-spirited and talented woman who made many contributions to our knowledge of our history. Born in 1910 to Annie (Jones), wife of Chief Andrew and sister of Queesto of the Pacheedaht People, Susan grew up on Sooke Reserve No 1. When she was nine she was sent to Kuper Island Residential School, learning to read and write. Back at home, she learned traditional Salish skills, in preparing seafood and learning to weave cedarbark and sweetgrass baskets at her mother’s side. “My mother, she’d say ‘Watch me, I don’t have to tell you, just watch me.’ She wouldn’t talk about it – she’d just show us how it’s done.” Married young, to George Cooper of Esquimalt, she was the mother of Jimmie Cooper, who grew up to serve several terms as the elected chief of the T’Sou-ke Band. Susan sometimes lived in Esquimalt, sometimes in her Sooke homeland, and also in Washington State where she raised several additional children. Throughout her

life, she continued to practice the traditional Salish skills she took such pride in sharing. She never failed to give thanks to the tree when she asked the cedar to give up some of its bark for her use and she addressed the sun each morning as she set about her day. During the 1980s, living permanently in Sooke, “Grandma Sue” became a fixture at the Sooke Region Museum every summer Sunday as she sat out on the lawn showing visitors the processes of weaving with cedar bark. We, along with the visitors, thought of her as a kindly, gentle treasure. We were particularly excited the day that renowned US anthropologist and ethnologist Wayne Suttles arrived at the museum to study the tule reed

mat she had made. Grandma Sue had chosen the finest tule reeds from either side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca

for her woven masterpiece. Local artist Kathy Johannesson partnered with her to write her memoirs, “That Was our Way of Life” a little booklet available at the museum. Among Susan’s sisters, besides Mary, who married Baptiste Paul, there was Nancy, who married Dick Pappenburger of Saltspring Island and her eldest sister, Ida Lazzar who became Mrs. Gustave Planes. Ida raised a large family in Sooke who all became well-known, particularly in the fishing community. It is one of her grandsons, Gordon, who serves as T’Sou-ke Chief Gordon Planes today.

EDITORIAL CARTOON

ICBC rate increases are unjustified Distracted driving is being blamed for the proposed raise in ICBC premiums. Really? How many tickets for distracted driving have the police issued as opposed to other traffic violations? Let’s see the numbers. ICBC can blame the rise in rates on anything and we have no way to dispute their claims. It isn’t a matter of ticketing those who are “distracted” but of educating drivers. We see people on their cellphones all the time and the police probably only catch a very small percentage of them. People are also distracted by a screaming baby, checking their makeup, eating, changing a cd or even funbling around in a briefcase or purse. It’s not just about cellphones, but that is what they are using as rationale for raising the already exorbitent premiums. Now that people are not drinking and driving they need another way to generate revenue and they have to get that revenue stream from all drivers. ICBC is not in a deficit position, in fact they are raking in the profits - and those profits come from everyone who gets behind a wheel. This is another case of punishing everyone for the misdeeds of a few. Big Brother is alive and well and he wants your money. If there are indeed so many accident claims due to distracted driving, then punish those who are causing the accidents, not the ones who are not. We don’t ever share in the profits of ICBC so why should we pay more so they get more? The provncial government made sure ICBC was a monopoly and we have no choice in where we get our insurance. Put the blame and the cost onto those who commit the offenses, not the ones who don’t.

FEATURE LETTER

Open letter to Premier Christie Clark Horgan writes open letter to Premier Clark on B.C. education dispute VICTORIA – New Democrat leader John Horgan has written an open letter to Premier Christy Clark on the prolonged education dispute. In the letter, Horgan expresses disappointment with the government’s failed approach to date, and urges the premier to directly involve herself in the negotiations, and to set a new tone that respects teachers and our public education system. Dear Premier Clark: Parents across our province have already paid a huge price for your government’s failure to resolve the labour dispute in our public education system. Our children deserve the quality public education the government is responsible for delivering, and parents deserve an end to the stress and uncertainty caused by the disruption. The prolonged dispute is hurting our teaching professionals – a job that deserves respect and support from all parties and members of the legislature and governments of every stripe. My colleague, Rob Fleming, yesterday called publicly for your education minister to be relieved of his duties as it has become clear Mr. Fassbender is not capable of doing his job of providing public education to all British Columbians. He delayed and obstructed negotiations all summer, denied mediation would work, publicly provoked teachers

while mediator Vince Ready finally did meet with both sides, and has been unwilling to negotiate on the vital issue of class size and composition. It was disappointing to hear this morning that you continue to place your full confidence in Mr. Fassbender. Your continued absence throughout this crisis shows a lack of leadership when British Columbians need it most. Parents, kids, and teachers deserve more from their premier than a series of tweets meant to further inflame the situation and point fingers at teachers. They deserve action towards a real resolution that gets kids back in classrooms and improves the quality of education delivered in our public schools. British Columbians watched as you proudly proclaimed your involvement in settling the truckers dispute at the federally-regulated Port Metro Vancouver. I urge you to recognize that providing a high quality public education to young British Columbians is even more important to our future economic success. Moreover, every day the dispute continues it disrupts families, communities and productivity in our economy as the families of 500,000 children struggle to deal with the impacts. We need government leadership that listens to parents, the public and the courts about the importance of addressing class size and

composition. That will require better resources for our schools. Your government’s funding freeze is unrealistic and counter-productive to achieving your own stated education goals and the ability to achieve an immediate settlement. Parents know that in your days as education minister you were directly responsible for unconstitutionally stripping teachers of the right to bargain class size and composition, making it harder to learn and harder to teach a whole generation of BC students. Our children’s education is too important for you to do nothing but tweet platitudes and let an incapable minister continue on a destructive path. It is past time that you began to make amends for your own record of disruption and decline in classroom quality. I urge you to remove Mr. Fassbender. To show that you do not enter labour disputes simply for credit after the work is done, I urge you to personally and directly involve yourself in the negotiations, setting a new tone that respects teachers and our public education system, and finally bargaining as productively as your government repeatedly promised to do - so our kids can get back to school where they belong. John Horgan, Leader Official Opposition

Hopeful Pee Wees try out for the development teams at seAPArC over the past week. Here they are getting insturction on the finer points of the game.

Youth do have a voice Dear Mr. Haldane, Your letter last week stated “we are overlooking the needs of the young in this community because they have no voice.” I am writing to assure you that the problem is not that youth have no voice. In fact, saying youth have no voice actually disempowers youth before they ever get a chance to meet you. The actual problem is that their voice isn’t being sought after. Youth have a whole lot to say about local government. But you must be so passionate about hearing their voice, that you spend your spare time chasing after it. Bringing pizza to their sports games, presenting hottopics to their classrooms, hanging out at the skate park and learning how to ollie, going to Whiffen Spit on a Friday night and helping them build a fort, without judgement of whatever else they’re doing there. Youth engagement is like inviting someone you just met to a party - if they’re not invited, they don’t really know if they should show up. So you invite them, but they feel awkward since they don’t know anybody. It’s your job, as the party host, to greet them in the driveway when they text you asking if they’re at the right house, and walk them in, introducing them to people and showing

them where the hors d’oeuvres are. For three years, I have been doing youth community development work with the Sooke Youth Council and Canada World Youth for the Youth Friendly Business Project, Youth Friendly Community Project, and Youth Engagement Project. The information is out there, waiting. If you would like to know what local youth think without engaging them as above, the reports are on the Sooke Youth Council website. Ebony Logins Sooke

A trip down Memory Lane A friend recently passed an article written by Britt Santowski about Leechtown to me. I was born in Victoria but my parents lived at the lumber mill (owed by DO Cameron) in Leechtown. I have many pictures of the children who lived at the mill which I believe was at the end of the railway now called the Galloping Goose. As well as pictures of the river and our house. There must be many of those who were born about the same time I was who are still around - Shirley King, Marlita Neil,

Susie Compte and Margie Welburn all females born within months of each other (must have been some thing in the water! I spent many summer days at the lumber mill, which was managed by Harold Neil, with his daughter Marlita. Marie Grossman Mackay North Vancouver

Still needing a dog park I am a dog owner – two big, happy, fun loving, people loving, other dog loving, rambunctious, friendly dogs. I used to take one of them off-leash to Whiffin Spit. But he wouldn’t come when he was called, and he would race toward oncoming people to say hello. I can understand how seeing a 90-pound mass of brown hurtling towards you would frighten you. I get it. So I stopped going, and he doesn’t get to run around and play with other dogs or enjoy the water. So, in response to the letter of Aug. 20, would you support having a dog park in Sooke, where dogs could play and run in a safe, secure area? Because they can’t do it anywhere else, south of Duncan. We have tried for years,

with the previous mayor and the current one, to establish a dog park in Sooke. For all of those people who don’t want off leash dogs around, help us find a place where they can be off leash. Patricia Marsh East Sooke

were backed up almost to Gillespie Road. The reason for the blockage was not a fire, or an accident, or emergency repairs, but to repaint a school crosswalk, which, to my eyes, was perfectly visible prior to repainting, and which perfectly well could have been repainted during low traffic periods. Whoever authorized this disruption of traffic during rush hour should not be making decisions on behalf of the municipality. I would be happy to know the name of the person who authorized this, and that person’s

Upset with editorial cartoon I resent your cartoon implying the government and teachers’ union could learn something from young people about teamwork. Characterizing this dispute as squabbling between two parties glibly ignores the reality that this is a deliberate politically motivated attack on the BCTF and public school parents and students by a right leaning conservative group that

Consider the facts: Teachers are without a pay increase for the last four years and are being offered 5.5 per cent over five years guaranteeing income will lag far

behind the cost of living that will run about 18 per cent over that time period. They want to protect their families’ security. Who wouldn’t? Teachers will not make up their lost wages by staying on

the picket line.... maybe they are concerned about the deterioration of public schools due to Christy Clark’s government’s cuts. Teachers gave up a wage increase over 10 years ago to help fund class size and composition issues. Once the deal was signed and teachers went back to work Minister Christy Clark gutted the contract, stabbing teachers in the back. Any wonder there’s a corrosive lack of trust for this government. The Supreme Court has accused our government of trying to provoke a strike to score political points by saying teachers must “volunteer” to give up time for extracurricular activities.The court found this to be such egregious behaviour the government was fined $2-million. The government fired the negotiating body BCPSEA and replaced them with a political appointee who has done nothing but let the crisis fester - again for political advantage. So the next time your editorial cartoonist chooses a topic maybe they should do their homework instead of aiding the govern-

As a friend and pastor, I visited him today. I decided to focus on the reality of the human condition. But the conversation took a magnificent turn toward the glorious. It happened when he mentioned how embarrassed he was to have over 600 people on his “team.” These supporters have “come out of the woodwork”of his life to support him in his fight to stay alive. He related to me how sad he was that he had not supported a colleague at work in the same way when the fellow had come to work with no hair. He was sad that he had not started a “team”for his colleague.

I was gripped by the largeness of the circle of influence my friend had. The life he has lived, nowhere mundane, had caused many, many others, including his fellow cancer-suffering colleague to join his “team,”and like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, line up and make fun of the enemy. It made me think that the life we live inspires or depresses those around us. We can impress others with our passion for life, or pull them down with our “poor me”attitudes.

Gleaning Sooke’s fruit trees For a few hours a week, you can make a big difference.

wo key volunteers, Larry Galbraithe and Nancy Bennett, have stepped up this late summer to coordinate Food Chi’s fruit tree gleaning program, a program run successfully in recent past summers. Gleaning – a fine activity of gathering and sharing food that may go to waste. Food recovery. This program will extend well into October. Food CHI is coordinating the program with cooperation and support from a number of helping agencies who receive one-third of the picked fruit , volunteers receive a third as does the property owner if desired. Nothing is wasted. Even the orchard at Sunriver

Sandy Reber photo

Jessica Boquist takes part in a previous fruit tree gleaning. Fruit on trees should be picked to prevent interaction with bears and other critters. Gardens donates its fruit. Food CHI greatly appreciates the support of Sooke Food Bank, CASA, the Crisis Centre and Meals on Wheels for accepting and distributing the

picked fruit, one less meal for the bears, more nutritious foods for our citizens! Food Chi also works with Debbie Read from WildSafe, the CRD bear aware program. However to make

3x7

this program work Food Chi does need a few more picking volunteers – to lend a hand. Not everyone needs to be up a ladder. All picking gear is provided, all picks are supervised, some transportation can be arranged, and volunteers are covered by Food Chi’s liability insurance. For a few hours a week, you can make a big difference. For those properties who want their fruit picked a site visit is required first, assessment of the fruit – will it keep before distribution to helping agencies. A priority list is set up and as volunteer resources permit a time to pick likely can be arranged. Priority is given to those families who for a number of reasons are no longer able to pick. Please call Larry at 250-889-7482 or Nancy at 250-642-0401 if you can lend a hand or have a few trees that you are not able to pick.

Farmers are being honoured and a poetry contest is being organized in appreciation of the work they do and continue to do to provide British Columbians with farm fresh produce. The photo above was taken at the Sooke Fall Fair in 2012, and the pumpkin was grown by a local gardener or farmer.

Farmers Appreciation Week September 8 – 15, 2014 The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets (BCAFM) invites British Columbians to show their appreciation for local farmers in the form of a poem - a haiku, a ballad, an ode or a limerick, the style is up to you. Novice and experienced writers alike are invited to submit their best agriculture-inspired poems to the second annual Ode To A Farmer Poetry Contest, in honour of Farmers Appreciation Week September 8-15, 2014. The grand prize winner will receive a $150 gift certificate to the B.C. farmers’ market of their choice. To celebrate the diversity of B.C.’s agriculture, contest judges will select a grand prize winner, plus one winning poem in each region of BC: Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, Kootenay Rockies, Northern British Columbia, Thompson Okanagan, Vancouver, Coast & Mountains and Vancouver Island. Winning regional authors will receive a $50 gift certificate to the B.C. farmers’ market of their choice. The contest is open to all British Columbia residents. Submissions will be accepted online or

by mail until Sunday, September 7th at 11:59 p.m. For details see Farmers Appreciation Week - Poetry Contest. “BC farmers are our best source for fresh, healthy, local food,” says Jon Bell, BCAFM President, “and the Poetry Contest is a means to express our gratitude for BC farmers and all the ways they contribute to our health, communities and economy.” This is the 5th annual Farmers Appreciation Week, an annual event highlighting the important contribution that local food and farmers make to our lives. Farmers Appreciation Week will be celebrated at farmers’ markets across B.C. from September 8 – 15, 2014. For more information on how to participate, see the Farmers Appreciation Week website. (www.bcfarmersmarket.org/resources/subpage/farmers-appreciation-week). Three accomplished BC writers will judge the contest. Tamara Leigh is a freelance agriculture journalist, President of the BC Farm Writers Association, and FarmHugger blogger based in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island. Renée Sarojini Saklikar is author of the thecanadaproject. Her work appears in various literary journals, newspapers and anthologies, including Geist and Contemporary Verse 2:

For electors who live in or own property in the District of Sooke and qualify as either a resident elector or non-resident elector, advance registrations will be accepted until the close of business on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. With the exception of registrations on voting days, elector registrations will not be accepted during the period September 24, 2014 to November 16, 2014. Contact your municipal office for more information.

ELECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

Resident Electors: Must be age 18 or older on general voting day; and a Canadian citizen; and a resident of British Columbia for at least 6 months immediately before the day of registration; and a resident of the municipality for at least 30 days immediately before the day of registration; and not disqualified by any enactment from voting in an election or otherwise disqualified by law. Non-Resident Property Electors: Must be age 18 or older on general voting day; and a Canadian citizen; and a resident of British Columbia for at least 6 months immediately before the day of registration; and a registered owner of real property in the municipality for at least 30 days immediately before the day of registration; and not entitled to register as a resident elector; and not disqualified by any enactment from voting in an election or otherwise disqualified by law; and if there is more than one registered owner of the property, only one of those individuals may, with the written consent of the majority of the owners, register as a non-resident property elector.

LIST OF REGISTERED ELECTORS

The District of Sooke is using the Provincial Voters List as their List of Registered Electors for the November 15, 2014 elections and assent voting. Beginning Tuesday, September 30, 2014 until the close of general voting for the election on November 15, 2014, the District of Sooke will have a copy of its list of registered electors which will, upon signature, be available for public inspection during regular office hours, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays. Legislation prohibits distribution of the list to the general public. The municipal offices are located at 2205 Otter Point Road, Sooke, B.C. V9Z 1J2. Anyone who is not a local government officer or employee acting in the course of their duties must sign a statement that they will not inspect the list or use the information except for election purposes. An elector may request that the address or other information about the elector be omitted from or obscured on the list available to candidates and for public inspection in accordance with the Local Government Act (request must be to appropriate jurisdiction).

VOTING DAY REGISTRATION

Resident Electors and Non-Resident Property Electors in the District of Sooke who are not on the List of Registered Electors and who do not register in advance may register at the time of voting. All electors must register or be registered prior to voting. Resident Electors: Must produce two documents that provide evidence of the applicant’s identity and proof of residence – at least one document must contain the applicant’s signature. If you are unable to provide proof of your place of residence, you must make a solemn declaration as to your place of residence. Non-Resident Property Electors who do not register by Tuesday, September 23, 2014 must register at the polling station prior to the time of voting (advance polls/general voting day). Those who have registered previously or before the close of advance registration will be on the list and their name will remain on the non-resident elector portion of the list until they no longer own the property, qualify, or majority consent is withdrawn. When registering, you must produce two pieces of identification (at least one piece must bear your signature) to prove identity, proof that you are entitled to register in relation to the property, and if there is more than one owner of the property, written consent from the majority of registered owners that you have been designated to vote accompanied with adequate documentation, such as a Land Title Search or tax notice, proving ownership of the property claimed as the basis for the vote.

International Literacy Day is about more than reading Literacy is not just about learning to read, write and do math, it is about giving individuals the tools to live a more fulfilling life and improving society as a whole. Being literate as an individual means being able to navigate a website, conduct banking and send a text message on a cell phone. Being literate as a family means being able to read to your children, help them with their homework and read a map together while on a family holiday. Being literate as a society means participating in politics through voting, having an opinion on current events and feeling like a participant in the future of our country. In British Columbia, 40 per cent of citizens have a hard time reading a newspaper, filling out application forms or reading a map. Forty-nine per cent of British Columbians

Campfire ban lifted in coastal fire centre Effective at noon on Thursday, Aug. 28, campfires will once again be permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. The Coastal Fire Centre will rescind its existing campfire prohibition due to cooler weather in the forecast, which will result in a decreased wildfire risk in the region. The following activities will now be allowed: • Campfires, as defined by the Wildfire Regulation • Open fires in an outdoor stove The public is reminded that campfires must not be larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

do not have the skills to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates. Seventy per cent of seniors in B.C. have low literacy, likely due to lack of use and health problems. (See www.Decoda.ca for more statistics on literacy in B.C.) Fortunately, in 2008, the government of British Columbia formed a program called Literacy Now. Out of this initiative was born the Sooke Region Community Literacy Plan in which our community’s literacy needs were identified and programs were developed to address

them. Fast forward to 2014 and the successful programs in our community are still in place. The Book Bins, placed at SEAPARC, Sooke Child, Youth and Family Centre, The Stick in the Mud and on the T’Souke Nation Reserve, offer free children’s and adult books to the community. About 150 books per week are distributed to our community through this program thanks to some very dedicated volunteers. The Books for Breakfast program for preschool children will be starting this fall for the fourth year in

a row, where a healthy snack, story time and a free book are provided to participants. This summer 24 school aged children, enjoyed a free Play and Learn Camp (Literacy, Numeracy and Recreation). All students enjoyed the benefit of learning through play and building upon and improving their literacy skills, thanks to camp staff, volunteers and funders. The Sooke Literacy Task Group, made up of community members, is dedicated to finding solutions to any of the literacy challenges in the Sooke Region. For more information on

programs please go to www.sookewestshoreliteracy.com . UNESCO sees literacy as “a fundamental human right and the foundation for lifelong learning. It is fully essential to social and human development in its ability to transform lives. For individuals, families, and societies alike, it is an instrument of empowerment to improve one’s health, one’s income, and one’s relationship with the world.” For more information on programs please go to www.sookewestshoreliteracy.com .

The Capital Regional District will be using the Provincial Voters List to determine who is eligible to vote as a Resident Elector in the CRD. If you voted in the last provincial election, your name will appear on the Provincial Voters List, and will automatically be placed on the CRD Lists of Registered Electors. CRD Lists of Registered Electors are used for voting for Electoral Area Directors, referenda, School District Trustees and Islands Trust Trustees in the CRD.

•

2 pieces of identification (one must have a signature), and

•

No corporation is entitled to be registered as an elector or have a representative registered as an elector, and no corporation is entitled to vote.

•

Individuals who are on title with corporations are not entitled to register or vote. Individuals who own an undivided interest in land on which the balance is held by a corporation are not entitled to vote.

Special to the Sooke News Mirror

The girls U16B team, The Sooke Sox, hosted and represented Vancouver Island on August 7 to 10 in Duncan B.C. It had been over 30 years since a girls’ team from Sooke had gone to the Western Championships let alone host it here on the island! There were two teams from Mani-

Halibut limit increased

toba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia for a grand total of nine teams in the Championships. The girls practiced hard and the excitement grew as August 7 was just around the corner. The team played a six-game round robin, playing against every team other than B.C. Their first game was against Manitoba at nine in the morning, which meant early rising for the team as they

made their way to Duncan. The girls pulled off a win with the final score being 16-12 after going into international tie-breaker rules. It was a very proud and emotional moment for the team and parents to make a comeback and win the game. With only winning one game the girls ended the Championships in seventh place and ending their six-month season with a total of 66 games (or so), many

tournaments, Provincials, and Western Championships. What a way to represent Sooke! As a player from the Sooke Sox, I would like to thank the team, coaches, and parents for making this the best and most rewarding ball season I have ever experienced. It is such an honour to have been a part of such a hardworking and dedicated team!

Effective 001 hours on September 1, 2014 and until December 31, 2014, the daily limit for halibut will increase from one per day to two per day, of which one must be less than 90 cm head-on and

one must be less than 133 cm head-on. The annual limit for halibut is six. All halibut retained by the licence holder shall be immediatley recorded in ink on the 2014-2015 Tidal

Waters Sport Fishing lIcence. The area from which each halaibut caught and its length shall immediately be recorded on licence. head-on is the measurement from the centre of the tail to the lower lip.

Fall boating takes more care

We offer services ranging from regular to therapeutic yoga, with practitioners of wellness including Nutritionists, acupuncturists and counselors.

Young hockey players at Dapp’s Hockey Challenge spent one week at SEAPARC arena honing their skating and hockey skills. Rick Dappolnia had 32 kids between the ages of 4 and 15. “There was awesome improvement,” said Dappolnia.

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some additional precautions to keep from running into trouble. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the B.C. Wildlife Federation want to remind all boaters enjoying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boaters of their presence. Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpected happen and the boater find himself in the water. Accidental cold water immersion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after

the initial shock but they will have at least 10-15 minutes, even in very cold water, to affect self-rescue before they start to lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This is where an approved lifejacket, either inflatable

or inherently buoyant, is an essential part of a boater’s wardrobe to keep them afloat after they can no longer swim. In the fall, there are fewer boats on the water to offer assistance, if needed. Boat-

ers should be sure to leave a float plan with a responsible person on shore who will know what to do if they’re overdue. A marine radio or cell phone will

Sooke horseshoe champions

The photo is of the four Sooke Champions from left to right; Rich Hobday, Clayton White, Ron Dumont (Dorothy Butts President of the Sooke Horseshoe Club) and Gordie Butts

The week of August 12-16 the Canadian Horseshoe Championships were held in Calgary Alberta. With 138 contestants entered 15 from the Victoria Horseshoe Club including four from Sooke. They had great results, 12 out of the 15 placed in the top four spots. The four members from Sooke where as follows in their respective divisions:

- Gordie Butts 1st place (mens 40 ft B Division) - Rich Hobday 1st place (elders 30 ft E Division) - Ron Dumont 3rd place (elders 30 ft C Division) - Clayton White 4th place ( mens 40 ft C Division) The group of horseshoe players from Sooke are now in the process of forming a Sooke Horseshoe Pitch-

ing Association. With the support from the Sooke community they hope to have horseshoes courts ready to play on in Sooke the summer of 2015. If anyone is interesting in playing horseshoes watch for the public input meeting announcement for September 15 or October 13. Your support at this meeting could make the difference in the

Cont’d frompage 21 allow them to call for assistance should the need arise. Having a few tools and spare parts aboard will also allow them to fix minor problems that might otherwise cause them to be stranded out on the water. It’s important that boaters ensure that their boat and engine are in good shape and mechanically sound. Ethanol-based fuel can allow water contamination in the tank. The use of a fuel additive prevents water in the fuel line from freezing which could cause the engine to chug to a halt. If the boat has portable fuel tanks, it’s a good idea to have a spare on board as a reserve. When boaters head out, they should be wary of reduced water levels that can result after a long, hot and dry summer season. Some of a boater’s favourite shallow water fishing holes may be inaccessible at this time of year. Also, while underway, they should keep a sharp lookout for debris and chunks of ice that could penetrate the boat’s hull at speed. “Spectacular colours,

peaceful solitude and the crispness of the air make boating in the fall a wondrous experience,” says Jean Murray, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Now that fall is near, boaters should make the most of what’s left of the boating season

before the cold weather hits. By exercising a little caution and an ability to be self-sufficient when out on the water, they can more fully enjoy nature’s splendour and quiet waterways. Visit www.csbc. ca for more tips on boating safety.

Back in 2009 a group of pirates really got into the mood and built a ship during the Beach Art competition. Every year people gather along Whiffin Spit and drag, pull, tie and coerce driftwood, rocks, flotsam and whatever else they find into works of art. The Sooke Community Arts Council sponsors the Beach Art event. This year it will be on Sunday, September 7 starting at 12 noon. “Once again we’re planning a fun event for all ages. Families,

friends and individual teams compete each year to build amazing sculptures from natural and not so natural items found on Whiffin Spit. Each year I am amazed by the creativity of our participants,” said Sandra Scafe, event coordinator. “Volunteers walk the spit with words of encouragement to our teams and especially the youngsters who are sometimes a

little hesitant. We promote fun and all skill levels receive beautiful rosettes and small cash prizes,” she said. And there are wondrous creations to be sure. “We’ve seen many mermaids over the years as well as complete Roman villages created by kids. It really blows my mind to witness the fun and innovation of these children. Our adult teams

continue to amaze us every year with complex themes such as First Nations storytelling scenes and we even had a pirate ship with pirates on board!” exclaimed Scafe. The ultimate goal is to provide a fun and free event for the community to enjoy and promote creativity in the beautiful natural environment in which we are so fortunate to live.
