Wadams Way opens

Jack Most photo

The Super Heroes came out for the Wadams Market at CASA.

On Saturday, September 27, 2014, the District of Sooke celebrated the official opening of “Wadams Way”, a newly constructed eastwest connector road that will help to ease traffic congestion through the Sooke town centre and includes a safe and accessible multiuse trail. The district received a $250,000 grant through British Columbia’s Community Recreation Program to help build the Wadams Way multiuse trail adjacent to the new road, which improves pedestrian linkages through the town centre. The total cost for the trail construction was approximately $450,000. “The completion of this new multi-use trail is great news,” said Coralee Oakes,

Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. “The accessible features of this trail give this community an inviting place for residents and visitors to tread, while supporting healthy, active living opportunities for British Columbians of all ages and abilities.” The project scope included approximately 500 metres of new road between Church Road and Otter Point Road, including road connections and related infrastructure to Townsend Road, Anna Marie Road and the Sooke Child, Youth & Family Centre. Approximately 700 metres of three metre wide paved multi-use trail was constructed along Church Road and along the new Wadams Way. Environmentally friendly LED street

lighting has been installed alongside the trail as well as a bioswale and 16 new street trees to complement the existing greenery. “It’s wonderful to see this project’s completion,” said Mayor Wendal Milne. “One of Council’s strategic priorities is to make the Town Centre a vibrant, clean and well-maintained node, and with the completion of the Wadams Way connector, we have improved transportation flow and pedestrian safety throughout the Town Centre.” The provincial $30-million Community Recreation Program was developed to help local governments meet the costs of capital projects that make communities healthier, more active places in which to live.

The West Shore will be abuzz with the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock arriving on Wednesday (Oct. 1). Day 11 of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock brings the team of riders back to Sooke including Sooke resident and West Shore RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Wright. Wright won’t be riding into town, however, having gone down in a multi-rider crash in the fog between Ucluelet and Tofino on Sunday. He suffered serious enough injuries, including a reported separated shoulder, to render him unable to ride but is staying with the team for the remainder of the ride. On Tuesday Wright said he was doing fine and the crash generated more attention than he was wanting. “Finishing the tour is the most important thing to me. It’s a team effort and we’ve trained together for seven months. I’m very excited to be finishing with the team,” said Wright. He also said the injury is not as bad as they once thought. It was family that was on his mind when he received a special surprise on his way into Ucluelet, where a tap on the shoulder caught the veteran cop off guard. “Standing at the top of Hydro Hill and reflecting on people who have been affected by cancer, I was standing and thinking about (family),” he said. “It was a beautiful and calm moment and I got this tap on my shoulder and I turn around and there is my lovely daughter standing there. There couldn’t have been a better time, at a

It was definitely one of the highlights of my Tour.” His time has been especially rewarding, he said, because he has been able to do it with his family by his side. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without their support. The whole process has taken me away from them for extended periods of time. Knowing they support me and have helped me along this process has helped me be stronger, but be a better person as a result of that.” His daughter, Sarah, said surprising him on tour and being there with her father alongside the journey has been a gratifying experience she hopes to contribute to as her father joins the team in the final stretch. “I look forward to seeing him as he makes his way through (to) the finale (at Spirit Square) Oct. 3. I am really proud of him. We both have a lot of family members and friends who have been affected by can-

cer, so to be able to spend so much time fundraising for people affected by cancer just makes me very proud to see he’s doing something like this,” she said. “I’m proud to be able to call him my dad and he has been doing an amazing job.” To date Wright has raised more than $30,000 and said it is enough to send 20 children to Camp Good Times. He credits Jane Beddows, Donna Fraser and his wife Alisa. To donate visit tourderock.ca.

Kasper to run for council Keep Sooke on track of steady progress to a sustainable future Rick Kasper would like to see the next Sooke Council continue its progress delivering on needed services and infrastructure without huge tax increases. “We’ve made great strides getting our fiscal house in order while providing more funding for roads, sidewalks, police and fire services, all without huge tax increases,” Kasper said. “I’ll be running again for council to continue that progress. This is not the time to go back to past practices of big tax increases and building more bureaucracy. We’ve taken steps to get better value for tax dollars and made changes to give better service to our customers. There is still more to be done to keep this steady progress on track to a sustainable and prosperous future for the people, services and businesses of Sooke.

Coenzyme Q 10 is a compound found naturally in every cell of your body. It is involved in the making of an important molecule known as atP which serves as the cell’s major energy source. Coenzyme Q l 0 boosts one’s energy, enhances the immune system and acts as an anti-oxidant (substances that remove cell damaging compounds from your body.) Certain medications have been known to lower the levels of Coenzyme QIo in your body. the most notable class of drugs is the cholesterol lowering ‘statins’. If you need to check the type of cholesterol lowering medication you are taking, talk to the Peoples Pharmacy staff. We can recommend an appropriate dose of Coenzyme Qlo for you. Pharmacist/owner

Local foodies head to Italy for Terra Madre and Salone de Gusto Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

The Slow Food Movement may be a relatively new thing in Canada but it has been a way of life for much of the world before it had a name. The Slow Food Movement was started in 1986 by Carlo Petrini and is now on an international scale with over 100,000 members in 150 countries. It is promoted as an alternative to fast food and strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encouraged farming of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem. Local chef Oliver Kienast and his wife Brooke Fader are Slow Food enthusiasts and work hard at bringing pleasure back to the table. Kienast, is a chef at the Sooke Harbour House and Fader is the cellar master. Together they enthusiastically promote Slow Food and find a lot of support in Sooke and on Vancouver Island. This October they are traveling to Turin, Italy to take part in Terra Madre. Terra Madre is held every two years and is a mega-conference for food, chefs, farmers, fishers, eaters and advocates of all those things. Fader calls it a “food festival” and they are going to represent the convivial of Vancouver Island and the Gulf

Islands. “We’re really excited to steal away for this trip,” said Fader. 2014 will mark the tenth Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre, with this year’s events bringing together more than 1,000 exhibitors from 130 countries, including over 300 Slow Food Presidia, chefs, farmers, fishers, eaters, authors, advocates, academics, artisans, international representatives from wine and gastronomy, and Slow Food’s network of small-scale producers and food communities on six continents. The packed program of conferences, taste workshops, classes and more combine to reveal the impacts our eating and consumption habits have on the welfare of the planet’s ecosystems, people and animals.

‘We are always battling the perception that slow food is expensive - it just means buy local first.’

--Brooke Fader Cellar Master

refers to the conference or world meeting of food communities to address topics such as: climate change, population growth, animal welfare, food waste, land grabbing, and much more. Fader had for years nominated other people to attend Terra Madre and this will be the first time she was nominated. Terra Madre is celebrating the Year of the Small Family Farm in conjunction with the United Nations. (The Sooke Fall Fair celebrated

the same thing at this year’s fair). Going along with Fader and Kienast is Dr. Jenny Horn head of the agriculture school at Vancouver Island University, who is also a a farmer; and Dr. John Volupe, a scientist with the School of Environmental Studies at UVic. Each of the countries attending is expected to bring the traditional, endangered and indigenous foods they most identify with. For tasting Fader is bringing along Vancouver Island salt, Moon-

•5

struck Cheese and Venturi-Schultze dessert wines, all products from the Island. They aren’t endangered at all but they are foods they identify with. One of the events they are looking forward to is the 100 tasting workshops. Fader and Kienast have signed up for six and these include such things as tea in Japan, eating bugs and insects and Loire Valley winemakers. Slow Fish Canada is also participating and will participate in meetings and workshops. Mostly they will be there to network and renew their passion and enthusiasm for the Slow Food Movement and what it means. “We are always battling the perception that slow food is expensive - it just means buy local first,” said Fader. “We’re really going to be inspired, it’s been a huge dream and it feels great to be chosen as a delegate. Oliver’s been nominated as a chef.” She said it is important for chefs to support farmers and in Europe they have been doing that for ever. She also mentioned the concept of “traceability” where a person can trace where the products they buy come from. She used David Evans at Stick in the Mud as an example of someone who knows and supports the farmer who grows the coffee beans Evans uses. “It’s a powerful concept,” she said, “and worth the price.”

Pioneer: Isabella Weir Muir 6 6 •• www.sookenewsmirror.com www.sookenewsmirror.com

Founding pioneers in Sooke faced tragedy

One could hardly have a name more significant to early Vancouver Island immigrant history than to be both a Muir and a Weir. Muir Creek instantly comes to mind, as does Weir’s Beach. Scottish John Muir, his wife Ann Miller Muir and four sons, Andrew, John, Robert and Michael, arrived in Victoria aboard the Hudson’s Bay Company vessel Harpooner in 1849. Two years later, after a period of time with the Hudson’s Bay Company working with coal on the north east coast of Vancouver Island, the family had settled in Sooke. It is the initial Muir family holdings that we know today as Woodside Farm, on West Coast Road as one drives beyond downtown Sooke. Robert Weir, also a Scot, arrived in Victoria aboard the Hudson’s Bay Company’s barque Norman Morison in Jan-

lowed, and the two were able to enjoy a very brief life together before tragedy struck them. Isabella died in 1856, leaving a newborn babe. Meanwhile, that was also the year that Andrew had been appointed to the positions of Sheriff of Victoria and the first Sergeant of Arms of the first House of Assembly. While the Muir baby, also called Isabella, was brought up by her relatives, the grief was too much for Andrew, and reports tell us a very sad story, that he took to drink and passed away alone in a Victoria hotel room in 1859.

A widower, he was accompanied by several children including his 16-yearold daughter Isabella. A year later the young girl was to become the bride of Andrew, eldest son of the Muirs. While three of the Muir sons settled quietly with their parents in Sooke in 1851, Andrew appeared to

be more restless of spirit, and looking for a more cosmopolitan life in what was then called Fort Victoria. He met the young girl from Scotland, Isabella, whose photo (above) had been taken before she set sail for her fivemonth long ocean journey to the new world. It was no surprise that a marriage fol-

10th Birthday to remember Hello, my son Dax (the boy on the left) is a fishing fanatic. For his 10th birthday, my wife and I bought him a full-day Sturgeon charter on the Fraser river, as we figured the ‘double digit’ birthday needed to be very special. He brought along his good friend Niko, and we enjoyed a fantastic day of Sturgeon fishing, catching 7 Sturgeon in total, and losing 3 more. This was the biggest Sturgeon, measuring in at exactly 8 feet in length, and approximately 80 years old! In scanning this fish, our guide discovered that it had never been tagged, so we were also lucky enough to be involved in the process of inserting a tag into this fish before it was released. As our guide told us, we were fortunate to experience an “epic” day of Sturgeon fishing that would be hard to beat!

EDITORIAL CARTOON

Council job is not an easy one Do we really need tsunami signs in Sooke? District of Sooke council is considering replacing the tsunami signs which were taken down back in 2007 amidst protests from B&B operators and real estate companies. They were placed in low lying areas around the water, places where waves might arise in the event of a tsunami. The reason for removal back then was public pressure. The reason for putting them back is not from public pressure, but rather public perception of the dangers of a tsunami. Opinions change and the signs remind us where we live. It would be nice if council would stick to the resolutions they made. Sure, the council is different than back in 2007, but going back and forth on issues creates nothing but the perception that the decisions made in the past were bad ones. On Monday night, there was an information session for people thinking about running for public office. Apparently there were some new faces in the room. Could it be that we will have new people running for council? That, would be a good thing providing there were a few familiar faces left at the council table. Which ones? The public will decide who stays and who goes. What needs to be remembered is the record of each of the councillors and how they have conducted themselves when serving the citizens of Sooke. We’re sure the consultant who led the session reminded the hopefuls that their duty is to serve the people of Sooke, to be honest and ethical and to put their own or their “friend’s” interests away. Doing the best for all of Sooke is what a councillor should aim for. It’s not as easy as it seems because favours often need to be repaid and special interest groups need to be remembered. Let’s just have a council that works for all of us and not their own interests - after all that would be a conflict of interest wouldn’t it?

ANOTHER VIEW

Is Sooke a well-run business? Imagine for a moment that you own your own company. You have several employees on contract for their services and although your business has some debt, year-toyear you manage to break even. One day, four of your contract employees for the past three years, approach you six weeks before their contract is up for renewal, and request to attend a training conference at your expense. They tell you the conference would be invaluable; they will get opportunities to learn new skills and network with a lot of people in similar jobs as well as some influential people. You think to yourself, sounds good, might benefit your company, but you find yourself feeling conflicted, these have been pretty good employees, but there may be better ones, and their contract is set to expire in six weeks, and you have not decided for sure that you will be renewing their contract. Do you send one of them, some of them, all of them or none of them, do you wait until you have decided to renew their contracts for another term? What do you do? Well, I can tell you what the taxpayers of Sooke did. As employers of our municipal council, we sent four of our councilors to a week in Whistler B.C., expenses paid, to attend the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities Conference. These stewards of our finances and our elected officials for the next six weeks, decided it was a very

worthwhile expense, to have us pay for them to attend this annual conference. No, not just one representative from the district, not two, but more than half of our council sought fit to attend this annual gala at our expense. Now you might say, well, ok, odds are one or two of them stand a good chance of re-election, or maybe more of them, and maybe that is true, but there is one thing for sure, and that is two of the councillors are seeking the mayor’s chair, and there is one guarantee, and that is that one of the two is not going be in public office six weeks from now. Watching the social media feeds of these councillors, we did learn of one positive outcome amongst all the photo-ops that seemed to be a focus of their attendance. One councillor did brag about the new changes to municipal insurance for non-profits that provide contract services to municipalities that was voted on, but please, I don’t think that Sooke’s vote was the deal breaker on that one. Perhaps a better plan by council would have been to discuss if there were any important issues requiring Sooke’s attendance, and then elect to send one representative from Sooke to take the council’s concerns to the conference. Of all the political hype and politicking that occurs around this event, and of all the resolutions that our towns and cities pass at these

conferences (which the provincial government seems to ignore), for some reason, we don’t hear the motion from anyone, that the date of this annual conference be moved to some time after the fixed November election date to allow for the new and returning councillors with a fresh mandate to hopefully bring some benefit from these galas. Maybe they could vote to eliminate this system of the quasi farewell party of all the municipal politicians in attendance at the annual UBCM gala week. So one question that everyone should be asking of their elected officials as we enter the election campaign of 2014, is why did the four councillors find it necessary to attend this conference? How much did it cost us? Will they be reporting back to the taxpayers of Sooke, the wealth of knowledge they gained from this annual experience so that others may benefit when they are gone? And what did they bring back to Sooke that will be of a direct benefit to the Sooke taxpayers in the next six weeks before they may be looking for a new line of work? Remember, the District of Sooke is our company, and those that chose to run for office, work for us. Hopefully we made the right business decision for our company and invested well.

Road work? This is the third year walking Sooke Road that every time it rains the intersection at Charters Road floods forcing pedestrians to walk out in the traffic lane, of course it also floods at most of our intersections. Has anyone in Sooke seen any day-to-day road maintenance on our streets, little things like filling potholes? Street sweeping? Brush clearing? I am sure we pay taxes for something?

Park is a tiny gem Flea Beach is a lovely pocket park, and yes, it has trees, as do most parks in British Columbia. While one dangerously leaning tree has been removed, after appropriate approval from the CRD, trees are an integral part of the park. Unfortunately, Flea Beach has already undergone the deprivations of illegal tree-cutting on at least two separate occasions, with the area nearest Seaside Drive effectively clear-cut in secretive, night-time operations. Now the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society will have to spend money to remediate this clearcut swath, in addition to organizing road repair and protecting the rustic quality of this tiny gem of a public park. I, along with many others, have already given our personal

letters

input through a public meeting, personal communications and internet discussions with the Society, which has welcomed all input from the community and beyond. Kudos to the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society for taking local responsibility for this park. Diane Dieter Shirley

Brightness distracting The new SEAPARC sign by the highway is very nice. Easily to be seen in daytime. At nightime, you don’t notice the deers crossing in front of you on the highway because of the brightness of the light from the sign peeling your eyes away. Would that be a new public safety issue? Perhaps the brightness of light from the sign could be toned down at nighttime? It seems to be on the same brightness level 24/7. You could dim it by 50 per cent at nighttime which would still be easily viewable. Just a thought. Michael Doerfler Otter Point

Opposed to radio tower Re: Telus Radio Communications Facility 6683 Sooke Road. Here we go again! Now Telus is applying for construction of a

new radio communications tower about onehalf block away from the last proposal by Alcatel-Lucent at Jim Mitchell’s building. Virtually everyone in the room at the June 18, 2012 District of Sooke Land Use and Environment Committee meeting seemed appalled at the prospect of blighting the ocean views and exposing town center residents and workers to the dangers of cell tower radiation. Reactions to the poorly thought out location were equally strong from both the public and members of the LUEC committee. Council resolved to send a letter to strongly oppose the proposed town center location of their Monopole Radio Tower. Copies of the letter were to be sent to Industry Canada and four Vancouver Island MPs. How can this be happening again? On September 22 I called the Sooke planning department and asked my questions and was told to write a letter to Telus stating my opposition to the tower, and that this issue would go to public consultation and to Council on Oct 27. Should there not be a policy in place for these matters considering the large number of signatures on the prior petitions and the impressive presentations given regarding health related concerns about radio frequency? Has the public not already voiced their

opinion? Why does this have to go to public consultation again? Has the public been properly notified? Sylvia Hallgren Sooke

Homework needed Re: “Report card time for local politicians,” Sept. 24. Another View Tom Fletcher. My track record advocating for costeffective delivery of municipal services, fiscal discipline in major infrastructure projects, open government and safety in our communities is clear. Voters and municipal officials from across the political spectrum value this contribution at Victoria City Hall, which has saved taxpayers money, improved public services and helped to make the municipality more responsive to resident concerns. Tom Fletcher chooses to ignore this track record in his column, perhaps because he has not attended a single meeting of Victoria City Council or the Capital Regional District Board since I was elected to represent the people of Victoria three years ago. Alongside my work on municipal issues, the people of Victoria have asked me to stand up and advocate to the provincial and federal governments on issues they care about that impact our community. This includes the

threat of oil tankers and pipelines on coastal communities and interior waterways; attacks on our postal system and education system and the workers who deliver those services; and the rights of First Nations on issues including sacred burial sites and land development The Union of BC Municipalities and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities are legitimate channels for dialogue between local government and the provincial and federal governments. At this year’s UBCM convention, I spoke directly with Premier Clark and her Ministers on matters affecting the City of Victoria and Capital Region, helping to build relationships and find solutions that will benefit the community that I am elected to represent. Tom Fletcher is entitled to have his views, as I told him during a conversation at UBCM. But I think we would all benefit if he did his homework first.

Residents care

As a Shirley resident, I feel I should comment on the state of Flea Beach. Local residents have for years been concerned about keeping this area clean and accessible. I, for one, was greatly relieved to see the Sheringham Point Light House Preservation Society take a more formal role in its management and upkeep. This involved formally petitioning the government for operational oversight and once granted, the Society held many open meetings to gather insight and hopes from the local residents as to changes and improvements that could be made. It is a regular agenda item at society meetings and concerned residents can attend meetings or follow any plan progress on their website. I am sure that the local bears, otters, quail, rabbits and other wild critters, while they do not necessarily have access to the internet, also appreci-

ate the efforts of the Lighthouse Society to preserve their natural habitat. Dr. T. Jones Shirley

Disturbing trend Dale Arden’s feature letter in the Sept. 17 Sooke News Mirror was quite illuminating. His cry that, “I have been too busy working to study my zoning, and you can imagine my surprise when I found.......” highlights a notable trend in our world, namely a blatant disregard by many corporations, some business owners and even government for pesky laws, court decisions, official plans, established rules and regulations. Like the logging company that seemed to be too busy cutting down trees to notice (imagine their surprise) that they had denuded the banks of a stream. Or the mining company that was too busy drilling for gold to study the legal allowable maxi-

mum level of their tailings pond. I am thinking that this trend might hold some promise for us all. Imagine the possibilities: “Sorry officer, but I was too busy driving to take note of the posted speed limit.” Or “Golly, Mr. Building Inspector, I have been too busy building this addition onto my house to study the building codes.” We might be on to something here. J. PhillipsOtter Point

Clearing up the facts There is a bit of a misleading slant on the situation regarding Flea Beach access. The Parks Commission studied all options and possible consequences of acquiring Flea Beach. At first it sounded great, until we took our heads out of the clouds realizing with acquitision comes liability. We do not have the public funding (tax base) or the resources to take on such a huge

Senior’s Day

risk; so it became necessary to be selective and we literally checked out each one for viability. Flea Beach is one we put a lot of thought into, it is an attractive site, unfortunatley it came with its own problems and conflicts, including trespassing and tree cutting; the situation was escalating. As a commission, we felt the threat of liability was too great to take the responsibility of Flea Beach on. When the lighthouse society approached us, we assisted them by giving them advice and encouragement. We felt it would be more appropriate for a wellknown, local group to take over the acquisition of Flea Beach. They would have more success at managing the access and be more suitable for bringing the exisiting problematic situation at Flea Beach to a closure. On another note, I would suggest that the bear will be the least of your problems. Louise Paterson Chair, JdF Parks Commission

Bear Buzz

www.sookenewsmirror.com

• 11

Recent Wildlife Sightings: Ella Road residents reported a black bear removing garbage from cans in the neighbourhood. The bear was taking the garbage into a neighbouring property. A wooden box was built, in an attempt to store the garbage, but the bear broke open the box. Store garbage in a secure building until collection day or consider purchasing a bear-resistant household container. If you cannot store garbage securely, freeze smelly items and add to the bin only on the morning of collection. A black bear near Grant Road was in a tree eating apples. Apples left unpicked and ripening fruit left on the ground attracted the bear. The RCMP arrived, just as the animal was leaving the area. A large black bear has been sighted in the Wright/McMillan/Francis Road areas. A resident near Sooke River Road area, reported a black bear dragged a shed, full of garbage, across the yard. The garbage, left there for some time

began to smell, was attracting the bear. To change the behaviour of bears, we must first change our own. Be very diligent about not giving bears access to food, garbage, chickens, livestock, fruit trees, dog food, bird feeders, or any other

type of attractant. If we take away the items that attract the bears, our communities will be a safer place for all of us. This is an effective and proven, long-term solution for reducing human-bear conflicts. Should you encounter a bear in your neighbourhood and it does not see you, simply walk away. If the bear sees you, speak to the bear in a low calm voice and slowly back away. Keep the bear in your field of vision but

do not stare at the bear directly. Directly staring at a bear may be interpreted as a sign of aggression. Above all, never approach a wild animal. For more on what to do in the event of an encounter with wildlife or how to protect yourself visit www. wildsafebc.com. Remember, if you see any wildlife activity of concern, please call the 24-hour reporting line for the Conservation Officer Service: 1 -877952-7277.

Ballot question important

Your editorial re: “Ballot question will be meaningless” completely misses the point of the exercise. Council did indeed send a letter to Minister Kent and P.M. Harper in January 2012. Clearly those levels of government were not listening or do not care. Therefore it is completely logical and appropriate to restate the position in stronger terms. In order to do that the council wants to poll the citizens, on whose behalf they will be speaking, as to their wishes. That is called democracy. Obviously there is a price for that; just as there is a price for everything, including paying their wages, heating the building etc. etc. It is interesting that the Mayors of Burnaby and Victoria are speaking out on this issue on behalf of their electorate. In fact the City of Victoria has been granted ‘intervener’ status. The CBC

letters

reported that Victoria will be having a public meeting on that very question (On the Island, 29 September 2014). I imagine there might be some costs entailed in that meeting; however those cities are more concerned with the process of democracy than on the minimal costs that were suggested. The editor should be proud of Sooke council’s bold stand and not lose sight of what is really at stake in this issue. That indeed would be ‘common sense’. Marilyn Sundeen Sooke

Values Over there a small man brags that his armies could conquer a neighbouring country in two weeks. Closer to home a consortium begs to lay obscene pipes across British Columbia for money. And then there are those passionate about educating the next generation, or seeking the

causes and cures of debilitating diseases, or are tweaking the latest version of an interplanetary rover. As a wise man once told me, “It’s all about values my friend, values!” Barry Whiting Sooke

Just change the law Rule of law is very important, as Gail Hall points out in her rambling letter, but what to do when the law is a fool, and the collective becomes tyranny? If Mr. Arden is correct in suggesting, as I understand his letter, that some use of his property pre-dates the present bylaw, then he is the victim of partial confiscation. The proper question is whether or not activity on the property is of significant harm to other people. So significant smoke or runoff, or release of toxic components, or high noise level, would be

improper. That would probably violate specific laws as well as be subject to tort action. Yes, some people get lazy – as a fence company did in failing to clean the street in Langford that their trucks were making dusty and muddy. But I read Arden claiming he runs a good operation. Since there is a law in place, why can’t Sooke get its act together and quickly change the law to be more sensible? Apparently control freaks object to that. Meanwhile the governments of Sooke, B.C., and Canada do not support adequate levels of policing, courts, incarceration facilities,

and re-education programs, which are very important to rule of law and a civilized society. I urge all Sooke voters, to decide their priorities for the upcoming election. Do they support what works for humans – individual freedom supported by a justice system, or are they voting for continued meddling in people’s lives? Keith Sketchley Saanich

New venues for Sooke Philharmonic New policy lets young people in for free

orman Nelson, the Sooke Philharmonic conductor and music director, has put together another delightful year of music. As usual, the fall and June programs will be presented by the full Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra, the two winter programs by the Sooke Chamber Players and Sooke Philharmonic Chorus, as well as the annual Tea and Symphony afternoon in February, the Don Chrysler Concerto Competition in April, the Garden Tour in June, and of course the Fling in July. New this year are the performance venues. Last June, when the high school was closed down by the labour dispute, the orchestra was suddenly scrambling for an alternate venue, and found it in our spacious, homely Sooke Community Hall. Norman Nelson picks up the story from there. “Lo and behold, both orchestra and audience were delighted with the fullness of the sound we were making and listening to. So for the immediate future, this will be our home for the large orchestra concerts in Sooke.” The Victoria concert last June took place in the Farquhar Auditorium at UVic. Our Maestro described it as “an incredibly stimulating and uplifting hall”, and added, “Our coming

Maestro Norman Nelson accepts a rose. season is all the more exciting and fulfilling at the thought of the invaluable help provided to us by the sympathetic acoustics of our new venues.” The other innovation this season is the decision to admit youngsters aged 16 and under free to all concerts. “The Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra has long been a supporter of youth involvement in music’,” said Bob Whittet, interim president of the Sooke Philharmonic Society. “We hope to encourage all young people to learn to enjoy the richness music can bring to their lives as members of the audience or as future performers.” The first concert, A Celebration of Young Artists, will feature the winner of last April’s Don Chrysler Concerto Competition, Masahiro Miyauchi, playing

Beethoven’s Emperor Piano Concerto No.5. The orchestra will be joined by music students from School District 61 and 62 in the symphonic suite based on the popular Lord of the Rings theme music. Beethoven’s well-loved

Eroica Symphony No.3 rounds out the program. These concerts take place October 25 and 26. The November concerts are in the usual Sooke Baptist Church and New St. Mary’s Church in Metchosin. Rae Gallimore, who wowed the concerto competition audience with her artistry on the viola, will play Telemann, and Nancy Washeim will be back to sing Haydn. Nancy Washeim and our SPO Chorus will also grace the March concerts along in a lovely program of song, psalm and lieder, again in the usual churches. The Chorus, conducted by Wade Noble, is looking for new singers, particularly tenors and basses. Practices

Awareness film deals with mining resistance If you want to register your mining company in a country that has the least amount of regulations or encouragement for acting responsibly and cooperatively with the people and the ecology near your mine, pick Canada! On October 8, Awareness Film Night will open the season with the film “Defensora” a documentary about Mayan Q’eqchi resistance against mining in their village in Guatemala. The film will be followed by a discussion and question period hosted by three members of Victoria’s Mining Justice Action Committee (MJAC). The story is set along the shores of Lake Izabal in the community of El Estor, where Canadian mining company HudBay Minerals established a nickel mining operation on the ancestral lands of the Mayan Q’eqchi people. The mining company’s security personnel have been accused by villagers of a murder, a shooting-paralyzing and the gang rape of 11 women. The community has brought their struggle for justice and remedy to the Canadian courts where they have

filed three related lawsuits in Ontario courts against HudBay Minerals for these offenses. Filmgoers will go to El Estor and meet the people affected by these violences and see and hear about the impact on the community of the mining operations in their midst. The post-screening discussion will be hosted by Kay Gimbel, Janet Gray and Heather Tufts of MJAC. Gimbel is on the executive of the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers Union, representing about 500 ships officers across the province. He travelled to Guatemala earlier this year with a mining

justice delegation led by Rights Action. Gimbel visited several mining sites, including the mining-impacted community of El Estor and met many of the people who are depicted in this film. Gray is an active member of MJAC and KAIROS. She has organized film and discussion events and other social justice projects and she participated actively in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Gray has also visited Guatemala and will bring first hand experience of the current tensions involved with mining companies there.

Tufts is a social justice activist, citizen journalist and independent researcher. She is an active member of MJAC and has organized many events and programs. As an educator Tufts believes in the “learning and research for change” model and has engaged with grassroots movements and indigenous communities for many years. Now that we in B.C. have seen first hand, with the Mt. Polley mine’s tailings pond spill into the pristine headwaters of the Fraser River, how irrespon-

Residents of the Capital Region are invited to participate in a FREE workshop on gardening with drought-resistant native plants. Instruction on native plant identification, their benefits and how to use them will be included. An overview of CRD Water Conservation programs will be provided and participants will be given a tour of a native plant garden. These informative workshops will be held at Swan Lake Nature House, located at 3873 Swan Lake Road in Victoria.

Marginet, Raymond Emile Left us suddenly Sept 22, 2014. Predeceased by his loving wife of 57 years, Maxine, whom he mourned heart & soul. Survived by daughter Kim, son-in-law Steve, grandchildren Keifer, Alex, Allen, Amanda & Steven, great grandchildren Keenan & Kash, sisters Marie & Maddy, sister-in-law Rose & brother-in-law Gilbert. He has gone on to join family & friends who have made this journey before him. He will once again be re-united with brother Aime, sister Helen & brother-in-law Bob. After leaving Manitoba he spent 25 years in the Navy which included 3 years in Regina as a recruiting officer, a very happy time for them. In Sooke he looked forward to his morning coffee dates with the gang at A&W & then in Colwood he had his Timmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew. Dad you & Mom were the best parents a child could ask for, thank-you. Your smiles & ready laugh will live in my heart forever. We will all miss you until the day we meet again & one by one the links in our family chain will join. To live in the hearts of those we leave behind, is never to die.

Diamond, Pearl It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Pearl, on September 20, 2014 at the age of 86. Pearl was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where she met and married George, her husband of 61 years. They moved to Sooke in 1950 to raise their family. She leaves behind many of her loved ones: Her children Sharon (Stu), Shirley (Les), Ron (Jackie), Kevin (Margaret), Marlene (Jeff), many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband George, brother Jack and sister Mary. Pearl was a kind and gentle lady who loved her books and her flower gardens, but above all, she gave her unconditional love to her five children and their families. Pearl was the listener, never intruding, but offering quiet support and encouragement. We will miss the smile and the twinkle in her eyes. We will just miss HER! As expressions of sympathy, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The family would like to thanks Dr. Keith Losie and the wonderful staff at Ayre Manor. Private family service at a later date.

Re-emphasizing faith in times of senseless tragedies and extreme hardship makes faith stronger than it was before. Christians are able to take this step because we are convinced that God has our best interests at heart. Are you experiencing shaken faith? Let the true nature of God’s love, promises and goodness overrule the influences of evil that are challenging you. Satan attempts to kill, steal, and destroy … but not God. God may allow evil to test faith, but this is to stir us to faith, not shake it. When the challenges in life come, will your faith be shaken or stirred?

2059

IDL

To answer that we all need to understand that God is not the only power that influences our lives. The challenges and difficulties are sent to us by one who tries to turn us away from the goodness of God. Belief in God is accompanied by belief in evil just as knowing that good is countered by bad.

11 15

On the other had there are those who are stirred to faith or to a deeper spiritual walk by the challenges of life. What makes the difference?

2069

Difficulties experienced in life are often the basis of a shaken faith. Some merely question God but others walk away, not able to reconcile their personal dilemmas with the declaration that, “God is good.”

Most people experience life as a journey of mountain and valley experiences. The good things in life and the many pleasurable occasions are sprinkled with times of trial or serious challenge. These significant life events stimulate us to consider the essence of our “core values”which is the basic definition of “faith.”

Special to the Sooke News Mirror

Sooke basketball Star Quinn Yates is one of 17 athletes practising with the Camosun Chargers. Quinn would like to be one of the 14 who make the Chargers team and one of the dozen who dress for the game. At 6’4 and sporting an athletic frame the question wasn’t if he can dunk a basketball it was when; “grade 10 in Denmark after a game and no one was watching” Quinn said with a big smile. Quinn is a former class Valedictorian for First Nations Graduation 2014 and practices with the Camosun Chargers five days a week. In that week, Quinn and the rest of the players have to put up 800 shots or layups and 400 free throws.

Submitted photo

“It’s a really good group of guys at Camosun in terms of how everyone gets along from coaches to players” Quinn said. The 18-year-old Quinn doesn’t consider himself much of a shooter, he said, “The part of the game I enjoy is defense and I’d rather drive to the hoop than shoot if I have a choice.” Each Charger player is tasked with fundraising $800 to help with the associated team costs. You can sponsor Sookite Quinn Yates who’s half way to his fundraising goal through the Adopt a Charger program and receive a tax receipt, an invitation to the Chargers annual athletic awards ceremony and be listed in the Chargers annual viewbook. Go to Camosun.ca and type in adopt into the search window on the top right corner.

SSC kicking it in pre-season play Blue and white took to the pitch this weekend with intensity! A gorgeous weekend for team pictures – a big thank you to Roger and Ursula from AAA Photography for making us all laugh it up! The Sooke U16 girls had a hot game this Saturday in Cowichan Valley with warm temperatures and hot actions on the pitch. Lajah Warren placed the first ball into the net followed by Mariyah Dunn with the great right-footed finish from outside the 18 box. Cowichan Valley came out in the second half looking more

refreshed from the drains of the warm temperature, but even that was not enough and Carymn Wright placed one with her (other) left foot into the lower corner of the opponent net. Both keepers were able to earn shootouts by taking away Cowichan’s only attempt’s by attacking the ball at the top of the 18. Final score Cowichan Valley 0 Sooke 3 U13 Girls beat Lakehill 2-0.

Ron Larson: Kemp Lake has trout for the catching

Ron Larson The Outdoor Guy There is great vitality in connecting to nature. By accepting and integrating nature into our lives it can mend and heal and steer us into the placid places. It’s all around us in Sooke

authored by our own perception and intentions. “Salmon eggs,” I say to the seasoned fellah who seemed to either be day dreaming or dead reckoning at the foot of Kemp Lake. “Power bait,” he says with a nod not breaking eye contact with the horizon. We chat at one of the access points to Kemp Lake at the end of Chubb road, off of the aptly named Kemp Lake Road. The scenery may not be as picturesque as Matheson. The trout may not be as big as the ones at Fairy or Lizard Lake but the humble beauty, coupled with the short 10 minute drive heading west from Sooke

www.sookenewsmirror.com www.sookenewsmirror.com

makes Kemp Lake a great spot to hit before or after work. “Catch anything lately”? I say, as if someone is pulling a string from between my shoulder blades forcing me to spit out short cliché fishing questions. “Ya, there’s fish in this lake” he fires back, string winding up. I decide to give him some space and get back to my van before my string recoils and I’m forced to ask another question about say, barbed hooks. As I start to walk back, he fires up, “yeah, nothing better than getting a trout and wrapping it in tinfoil slapping it on the barbeque. “With a bit of but-

ter and some lemon,” I chime in. He nods and introduces himself, “I’m Norm,” he says as he stretches out his arm. We shake in agreement on our cooking style. “Ya I love fishing for trout out here, but I don’t use gang rigs, just a couple of pellet weights, some power bait, that way you can feel the fish.” I scratch the side of my face and throw out a half-hearted “yeah” as I’m guilty of having a collection of Ford Fender, Willow Leafs

and Cowbell lures in my box. “Yeah I find trolling in a slow S curve works pretty well,” I say, trying to balance out the fishing tip jar. Norm assures me that the key to catching trout is to hit the shady spots at Kemp and adds that while the S curves work, don’t paddle too fast because he says, “you will end up with little guys because the bigger fish are too slow and cranky to waste their energy.” Norm elaborates on “there’s fish in this lake”

and tells me, “’bout this time last year the Freshwater Fisheries Society dropped about 1,500 rainbow in here. Kemp Lake is non -motorized so a canoe or kayak will work best as casting from shore is difficult. While Norm packs up his tricked out fishing kayak complete with rod holder, I contemplate how awesome my

Bite Me Fishing Derby gives to SSES ing local salmon conservation, this year the derby, with contributions from some generous Victorians, provided AED’s to five local marinas including Pedder Bay. This was the brain child of Ted Litster, Bite Me Derby committee member. Having been shocked back to life with a defibrillator in January of 2013 Ted knows firsthand how effective AED’s are for the victims of cardiac arrest, but, he also knows that if his attack had happened on his boat at Pedder Bay his chance of survival would have

been slim. The derby continues to support their local community by processing the top three winning fish and donating it to the West Shore Food Bank to help fill the Christmas hampers. Linda and Bryan Mooney, owners of the E-Fish-Ent Fish Company Ltd, have generously donated their time to process the salmon. When the fishing is done everyone on the committee looks forward to organizing and driving theLANDSCAPE hay wagons LANDSCAPE TIES for Metchosin Day. LANDSCAPE

TAURUS - Apr 21/ May 21 Taurus, a busy week awaits but just take things one project at a time. Keep to yourself for a little bit in an attempt to stay focused on the numerous tasks at hand. GEMINI - May 22/ Jun 21 Gemini, your positive attitude is why people have grown to rely on you in tight spots. Plant

a smile on your face and others will benefit from your positive influence. CANCER - Jun 22/ Jul 22 Cancer, it’s hard to know when to be assertive at work. You want to appear competent and in control, but you also want to build a good rapport with coworkers. Experiment a little. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, give plans time to develop, but don’t feel the need to hide your enthusiasm about the prospects. Trust your instincts as to when is a good time to get moving. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot control the behavior of others, but you can change your own direction to counteract some unexpected developments. Keep an open mind.

turned upside down this week, Libra. It’s important to roll with the punches so others can see how flexible you can be. SCORPIO - Oct 24/ Nov 22 Scorpio, an unconventional approach is your key to success this week. While others are following Plan A, go with Plan B and you may meet with great results. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Fantasy can overtake reality if you let it, Sagittarius. You may need to rein in your hopes and dreams for a bit and focus on some more practical matters. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Friends may distract you from work this week, Capricorn. Although it’s not wise to let responsibilities slide completely, you can probably get away with a day of slacking off. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/ Feb 18

Aquarius, the physical rewards for all your hard work will become apparent soon. You’ll find that all of your efforts thus far have been well worth the sacrifices. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, although you may dream of escaping the daily grind, you may need to persevere for just a little while longer. Your respite is coming.

Coho are the fish to catch Salmon fishing in Sooke is VERY GOOD for Coho salmon right now! Coho are on their migratory path towards the rivers they will spawn in, and the Strait of Juan De Fuca or the Salish Sea is showing a good abundance of wild and hatchery salmon. These salmon are very popular among recreational fishers as they hit the gear hard and provide good sport if fished on light gear and shorter leaders, and you can often limit out on them during a morning fishing trip. Best baits/lures for Coho are; small red,white or yellow, silver, squirts or hootchies, Silver Horde Coho Killers, or anchovies in a variety of bait heads with 4’ to 5’ leaders. Best locations to

usually find Coho are off the Sooke Harbour mouth or Sooke Bluffs trolling out from 100 to 500’ of water with the gear from 60’ to 130’ on the downrigger. Currently regulations allow two Coho per person, one of which maybe unmarked (wild). Please check the regulations on the DFO website or at your local tackle store before heading out. Chinook salmon fishing has definately slowed down, they can still be found by pounding the shoreline trolling anchovies or herring deep, 10’ off the bottom. Secretary Is.,Trailer Park, Otter Point, and West of Otter Point are good places to start looking. Some are being picked

up while trolling a line deep 130/140’ for Coho, in the deep water. More boats are switching to halibut fishing this time of year, and we are starting to see some “chickens” (small halibut) at the dock. The halibut tend to be a little deeper now, in 120’ to 250’ of water. Favorite baits include herring, octopus, squid and salmon bellies, soon they will be closer to the Harbour mouths looking for yummy spawned out salmon carcasses floating into the strait. Most common methods for fishing halibut in Sooke are drifting or anchoring, the later being more productive. Most common gear includes a speader bar system with a 2-lb lead

ball weight and a baited double hook halibut leader, or a variety of halibut jigs. Best to fish through a tide change with low to moderate current speed. Crab fishing should get better soon with the spawning salmon entering the river. As usual crab fishing during an incoming tide with fresh bait often produces best results. Up coming salmon derby - The Sooke 4th Annual Thanksgiving Coho Derby October 11 at Jock’s Dock - not to be missed! Contact Anne Marie at 778-6761965 or Maureen at 250642-7983, or visit your favorite local tackle provider for details. Good Fishing, Ron Neitsch - 2 Reel Fishing Adventures
