Maja Tait voted in as new mayor of Sooke Pirjo Raits
Sooke News Mirror
The votes came in pretty quickly for the mayoral and council candidates in Sooke on Saturday night. The cheers could be heard from the dining room at the Sooke Legion when the first results came in from the polling station shortly after the polls closed. Maja Tait handily won the seat from her former councillor colleague Herb Haldane. The race was deemed to be a tight one and nerves were evident throughout the campaign, but the numbers told another story. “It’s pretty overwhelming,” said Tait. Tait won 66 per cent of the votes, with Haldane running at 33 per cent. Distant in the pack was David Shebib with one per cent of the votes. Tait was acclaimed mayor with 2,527 votes to Haldane’s 1,263. Shebib got 26 votes. Tait said winning wasn’t about one person, it was about so many coming together. Joining Tait at the council table will be incumbents Bev Berger, Rick Kasper, Kevin Pearson and Kerrie
Reay. Ebony Logins will serve her first term as councillor and Brenda Parkinson will serve her second. Parkinson served on Sooke council from 2008-2011. Voter turnout stood at 41.5 per cent, slightly lower than the 2011 turnout at 41.9 per cent. When asked how she felt on Sunday morning, Tait said, “I’m pretty excited, it’s just sinking in.” She said that with the incumbents elected there is support for the strategic plan and they will be looking at this. She said there was a lot done and now the question was how to start building on it. When talking about the questions on the ballot in regard to a community facility and opposition to increased tanker traffic, Tait said there was solid support on a community facility as well as a new priority - the environment. She said the message here was to give more consideration to our environment. “We live in a beautiful place and what the question reminded us of through discussion is how tourism is a good employer. We are well situated for that,” said Tait. She wants to be able to connect with the

“We formed a good relationship - that’s what good leadership is about. I want to be true to that.” When asked why she ran she said it was because Wendal Milne wasn’t running again and she would have supported him. “I served two terms and it was time to step forward.” She said her job allows her to be flexible and the mayor needs to be out in the community. Herb Haldane said after the election, “I would like to thank those that helped me and supported me in this election. I will continue my close friendship with Maja Tait and hope she can find the time to do the job. She is very capable but I do think that more time will be required to govern efficiently. I will be focusing on other community activities and little government at this time. I am confident that my services and knowledge will be missing at the table as I was very engaged and dedicated to a quality job as a councillor. I will maintain my sense of duty and dedication to this great community as did many before me. Thank you.”

After the vote: Newly elected councillors respond Pirjo Raits Daniel Chauvin
Sooke News Mirror
The candidates who won in the District if Sooke municipal election were asked to make a few comments and they responded with the following statements, in no particular order. Some answers were in the form of an e-mail, others were stated on election night. Ebony Logins First time councillor The love and support I’ve felt over the past few months is indescribable. You may know by now that I’m always up for a good challenge. This will be a great term and more than anything, I look forward to sharing all I learn with youth in Sooke! I am pleased that both plebiscite questions were passed with a ‘Yes’ vote. By working with an experienced team and excellent leader, I know we will accomplish many great things for the Sooke region. Thank you. Rick Kasper Incumbent The voters are always right. I want to
“There’s always a lesson to be learned.” What she said she learned was she won’t be supporting motions on the fly because it mires council and delays decision making. If she has any regrets it is that she feels the last council did not do enough community consultation She feels more public forums are necessary.
congratulate everyone that ran. It was a great flushing out of ideas and public debate. I am excited for Sooke and especially for the youth. The new council will work together to work on various community projects: road, trails and downtown core. One thing i guarantee: in four years people will not recognize the downtown core with sidewalks, bike trails and more. Thankyou!” Bev Berger Incumbent I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to serve on council for a third term. Sooke truly is a slice of paradise, I feel confident that we have some solid plans in place to move our community forward. This council will be tasked with some tough decisions regarding our contracted services; we will have to look at what is financially best for our town. Going forward I would like to continue my work with the SEAPARC board. Recreation for all ages in an integral part of community. I would also like to have the oppor-

Herb is out and Wendal stepped out, the mesage is that Sooke is happy with the current directuon.” Asked if he would do anything differently, he said he would be just a little more agile to change and take the cues and make the changes. He said he has no regrets stating that the first three years were a learning exercise. “Hopefully I’ve built on the experience I’ve got.” He said he did not regret not running for
The new council will be sworn in on December 1.
Well the election is over…the members of the community have spoken. I am not a very political person but I do have my views and of course there are people I support more than others. It will be nice to get all those signs down and see what the next 4 years brings us as a community! Remember you can always go to council meetings to stay on top of our changing community or go to www.sooke.ca and read the minutes from all meetings… being informed helps us become a stronger community as a whole.

Most medications become less effective after the suggested expiration date, however there are a few that may become toxic. also it is a good idea not to take any prescription medication that was prescribed long ago... they may interact with medications that you may be using now. remember to think about the environment when disposing expired medications. tablets, capsules, and most liquids can be taken to your pharmacy to be destroyed properly. Make sure to take any tablets or capsules out of blisters before bringing them to the pharmacy... this helps with the disposal process.

11 years of helping in Sooke 11th Anniversary for Sooke’s Vital Vittles Lunches, Friday Nov 21, 2014 On November 21, 2003 the first Vital Vittles meal was served in the basement of the old Holy Trinity Church to 25 guests. That first menu included soup and sandwiches, fruit and cupcakes, along with a variety of hot and cold beverages and an opportunity to meet for a while in a warm and safe place. It was initiated by a diverse group of citizens, Rev. Eerkes, Andy Carrier( the Pizza Man) Leo Myers, Lynda Rose, Bill (the sign maker) and a few others, who recognized that there was a need to serve a simple nutritious meal to those who might not otherwise have one, all provided for free and without question. We are thankful for those who brought the vision to life and faithfully administered it. The many volunteers, past and present who have given their energy and skills, along with the Coordinators: Lynda Rose (2003-5), Shirley Roodbol (200512), Deacon Wally Eamer (2012-14), and Pam Day (2014- present) who have guided the program and continued the Vision. The food is served without ceremony to about 60 guests each Friday. People are totally accepted here. It is a deliberately nondenominational event with an emphasis on serving a wide range of people, young and old, with compassion and human fellowship. The program was designed to embrace the whole community, pulling together different people who might not otherwise have an opportunity to meet one another. Guests and volunteers develop friendships and understanding as a by-product of sharing a meal together. The menu has grown a bit over the years to provide a salad and a hot meal in addition to the soup and dessert, thanks to the support of our faithful and generous donors, and our

But as you explore the Cedar Grove, Roche Cove and Matheson Lake trails you may see or hear migrating ducks, such as red-breasted mergansers, Barrow’s golden-eye or buffleheads. The only mocking you might hear is from your friends if you don`t bring some decent boots. It`s pretty wet through the Cedar Grove trail this time of year but worth it.

expanding towards the horizon for last 500 years. The nuances of the West Coast weather have provided a spectacular combination of plants like mosses and lichen licorice and ferns to flourish through Cedar Grove. Listening to the forest reminds me to not only open my ears and hope to hear the flute whistle of a western meadowlark but also to keep our hearts open. When our hearts are open and when we’re in that moment, you know the one, where you feel connected and the energy flows through you, it’s pretty special and you can feel that here.

10 minutes from Gillespie Road on the left. The crooked smile start of the trailhead is on the left side of the Galloping Goose parking lot. From there it’s a moderate climb for about five minutes and then the trail flattens out. The trail is well marked but at one important junction it’s not. Stay right at the 1.5 km mark and the trail will start to ramble down to the Galloping Goose trail. From this access point you can take a right and be back at your car in about 45 minutes. If you go left, you can walk down the trail and meet up with the Matheson Lake Park, then this just turned into a two- hour adventure. As I walk through the forest I think back to what my teachers

taught me; that the mockingbird and the mocking jay are the key metaphors in both the Hunger Games and To Kill a Mockingbird. The birds represent helping those who can`t help themselves. This is true, but to me, they represent freedom, music and nature. These three things Cedar Grove and places like this around Sooke offer up daily for free. Today isn’t just another day it’s a gift and the appropriate response in receiving any gift is the feeling of gratefulness, my dogs are great teachers for this. They act as though today is their first and their last day.

Wednesday, Wednesday, November november 19, 19, 2014 2014 -- SOOKE NEWS MIRROR
Wild and Cultured: Musings from the GreenMan Disclaimer: this article is meant to provoke insight into the many uses and mysteries of the mushrooms that live among us. It is not an invitation to experiment into the potentially lethal ingestion of some of the mushrooms mentioned. Consult with a experienced guide, and not merely a book or website when attempting to identify species for consumption.
M
eaty, medicinal, mystical…maddening mushrooms. The allure of the mushroom in our Southern Vancouver Island rain forest climes captivates our deepest animal impulses. When on the hunt, the crazed ‘mushroom eyes’ kick in—the body becomes enveloped by an extrasensory perception of sorts. Perhaps it is an invisible whiff of a cloud of spores on the air that alerts us to our moss-concealed cousins of the Fungi Kingdom. Whatever one may call it, this ‘mushroom craze’ may be felt as a benign form of madness. Then again…maybe not. Some Viking warriors of old would froth into a mad dog frenzy after reportedly consuming a brew of Amanita Muscaria. Storming battlefield in a wild fury, they were deemed invulnerable to attack. Hence the name, “Beserkers”, who would curdle the blood of the all-toosober enemies of these insane warriors. On the other hand, this same species of mushroom also divined us the gifts and giver in Old St. Nick, or Santa Claus. This beloved jolly figure resembles the Amanita Muscaria, or ‘Fly Agaric’ mushroom, both of whom are portly, jolly and brightly coloured in red and white. The mushrooms were dried and hung by the stockings near the fire place or on trees as ornaments. This entheogenic (“generating the divine within”) fungi is thought to have given rise to the stories of “flying” reindeer, Christmas trees, magi-

‘sacred madness’ is bound deeply to the power-animal relationship that the shamans had with the reindeer, who incidentally loved to eat the mushrooms as well, leading them to prance and trance about wildly….”On
Dasher, on Dancer on Prancer on Vixen!!” The kindred kind of the Amanita range from the scale of ‘choice edible’ Amanita caesarea, to the not so subtle devastatingly poisonous “Destroying Angel” and “Death Cap.” “Know thy mushrooms!” a Delphic Oracle once whispered into the ears of an initiate in the hove-trodden woods of Pan and the Greenman. We may as well throw in ‘know thy trees’, as mushrooms are often found in a symbiotic jive with chosen species of their arboreal cousins. On edibility, the mushroom is often said to have a “meaty” texture and “umami” taste: the taste bud sensation coined by the Japanese which is said to have a pleasant “brothy” or “meaty” taste with an enduring, mouthwatering and coating sensation over the tongue. Wild mushrooms transcend the tasty but domesticated and monocultured Agaricus bisporus of the grocery store variety. Portobellos are merely oversized versions of this same tame species. Both the scarcity and wildness of the choice edibles makes them a
rare treat to the cultured palate and gut. Gastronomically speaking, Lion’s Mane, Chanterelles, Cauliflower, Porcinis, Oysters, Lobsters and Morels have no equal on the humdrum shelves of the shop. These names may sound arcane to the uninitiated in the savoury flavours of fungi, but to those who have ever been tempted by even a morsel of the above, there is no turning back to the mundane world of white supermarket mushrooms. The wild chef pursues the delectable edible with reverence and desire. It is this quest for the choice edible that leads the culinary artist to a special kind of madness. When combined with the fanatical devotion of the mushroom hunter, the frenzy gets upped a few more notches.

Shirley recognizes the Morrisons Shirley Fire Protection and Emergency Response Services Commission (SFP&ERSC) and Shirley Volunteer Fire Department (SVFD) have reached an agreement with Al and Linda Morrison, who own the adjacent property to the Shirley Fire Hall, to lease a easement from them at a fair fee for a period of 30 years. It had to be an easement, as the province views that leases of bare land over five
years affect the original parcel of land (reducing the area available on a 10-acre parcel to below 10 acres... ). “The area covered on the easement allows SVFD to have access from both Sheringham Point Road and West Coast Road to the fire hall. This second access means that we are not as reliant on individuals at Shirley Community Hall parking in such a manner that we can get fire trucks out in the event
and fire ground skills development. Without the support of community members, SVFD would be unable to provide fire protection to our community. SVFD and SFP&ERSC would like to thank Al and Linda for their generous contribution and support to the fire department.”

The 2nd access also means it is much easier to get modern fire trucks into our rather cramped hall,” said James Powell in an email. “In addition to providing a second access to our hall, there is also an approximate 100 ft x 50 ft area which we can use for practices; such as vehicle extrication,

EDITORIAL CARTOON
Let’s aid not hinder council The tribe has spoken. If you look at municipal politics as a reality show, then it becomes obvious that the majority of Sookies voted for a change and one person is in, one person is out. We now have our tribal council for the next four seasons. The election campaign, like Survivor, was full of maneuvering and gossip. Thinly veiled comments meant to make candidates look less than perfect. All meant to sway the rest of the tribe. First, no one is perfect. Each of the candidates for mayor came with their pros and cons. Each of them wanted to do the best for Sooke, at least in the way they saw as best, and they should be thanked for the time and effort they put in. It became about the difference in how they saw the community moving forward. Each had the same number of years at the council table and each made decisions at council that were not always favourable to some in the community. Their alliances and supporters rallied and came to the polls and voted in the person who they felt was the best for Sooke at this time. That’s politics. There were upsets all over the place in all the municipalities and that seems to reflect where people are - they want a change. But, it’s over and the best thing to do is respect the position and aid not hinder. Thanks should also be extended to those candidates who won’t be taking a seat at the tribal council table. They were also running because they wanted to serve the community. Each of them had qualities and experience which would have been useful and appreciated. It is hoped that they will continue to be a part of the public that speaks out and shares their opinions from the other side of the gallery. Stay tuned for the premiere of Sooke’s new tribal council on December 1.

ANOTHER VIEW
What to do with school boards? B.C. Views The saddest manifestation of British Columbia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years. There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics. Teacher union locals and CUPEdominated “labour councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate. This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school property tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special interest pressure. The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from <I>The Godfather</ I> as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective
financial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall. “Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clarified in an interview with the <I>Tri-City News</I> as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life. Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group. Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again. They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provinciallyappointed manager for two years. That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more?
After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either. The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers. School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.) Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely. With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

We asked: Are you satisfied with the results of the election for Sooke mayor and council?
Yes, I am satisfied with the results.
I think it is a very good thing for Sooke, for the youth and to move ahead for future generations.
Yes, I am very happy.

letters
The right to endorse I have been reading with dismay the efforts by certain individuals to discredit Mayor Wendel Milne and Councillor Maja Tait for the mayor’s decision to support Councillor Tait for mayor in this election. It is common practice for an outgoing mayor to publicly support his/her choice for the new mayor. In fact, I was surprised three years ago when outgoing Mayor Janet Evans did not put her support behind either candidate. As anyone who follows local news knows, I levelled a lot of criticism towards Mayor Milne and council during the first two years of the current term, and in my opinion it was mostly deserved. However, I believe Mayor Milne has tried to do the right thing during his last year as mayor, and we indeed have received some needed infrastructure upgrades this year. I think it is grossly unfair to discredit Mayor Milne and Councillor Tait for purely political reasons. I personally support Mayor Milne’s decision to publicly declare his choice for Councillor Tait, and would support the right of Mayor Milne to publicly make this decision no matter which candidate he chose.

Find a solution to tanker traffic On November 12, Awareness Film Night screened the excellent film “Stand” in which the pristine wilderness of B.C.’s West Coast was shown. The film presented the argument that we need to prevent super tankers carrying diluted bitumen (dilbit) from traveling along the coast, as an oil spill would cause irreparable damage to the area and to the livelihoods and culture of
the people living along the coast. There was also a plebiscite on our municipal ballot to vote against more super tanker traffic along the B.C. coast. It is easy to say ‘no, not in my backyard,’ but it does not solve the problem. Globally, there is a real, genuine need for oil over the next 50 years and more. The current glut of oil supply on the market is a very short-term phenomenon and in the medium and longterm as Middle East and other accessible reserves dwindle, oil from the tar sands will be more cost-effective
and can be much more environmentally safe than alternatives such as drilling in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. In the short-term burning oil for energy is less environmentally damaging than coal and as alternative energy sources take over, oil will still be needed for making the many other products derived from it. It is time to take a stand, and stop the raping of our natural resources for the further enrichment of a few shareholders and the benefit of foreign countries. It is obvious that the Northern Gateway pipeline built
and operated by a private company, will not benefit anybody outside of the corporation and will be inherently a high risk to the environment. It is time to develop and present alternatives that meet the demand for oil while minimizing environmental risk and benefiting the people of Canada and the rest of the world. One alternative would be to utilize a Crown corporation to refine the bitumen where it is produced, in accordance with strict environmental standards, thus eliminating the risk of transporting highly corrosive, toxic dilbit. Secondly, find an alternative route and port and have a Crown corporation build and operate a pipeline that will minimize the risk to the environment. Isn’t it time to stand up and promote a solution rather than simply fight against the only bad alternative presented to us? Don Brown Sooke

Question on polling station To the election officials and local newspapers: When I voted in the Nov. 15 Sooke election, I was surprised to see that the voting booths were paired, permitting consultation between individuals in neighbouring seats.

In our own backyard
I’d like to respond to some of the concerns expressed in Don Brown’s thoughtful letter on oil, super tankers and the risks inherent in oil as fuel. China is leading the world in the development of sustainable energy. If Canada does not increase the amount of oil it is supplying to China, the Chinese, while still being able to sustain their current usage, would naturally be more inclined to put energy and money into fast-tracking development of their sustainable energy industries, to all of our benefit. Continuing to extract and transport tar sands or any other oil or frack LNG, on the other hand, is putting some of the most basic conditions for human (and all species’) survival on the planet at risk. In the current issue of New Internationalist (newint.org), focusing on “Big Oil RIP?” in an article titled “Big Oil’s looming bubble”, the writer quotes an article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, international business editor of Britain’s conservative Daily Telegram, as saying, “staggering gains in solar power and soon battery storage as well - (threaten) to undercut the oil industry with lightning speed. My guess is that the world energy landscape will already look radically different in the early 2020s (six or eight years).” (italics mine). In a subsequent article he wrote that the oil industry is “living on borrowed time.” In September of this year the Rockefeller Foundation, one of the kingpins of the Oil Era, announced that it was divesting from fossil fuels. If, as this information suggests, fossil fuels, in fact, are living on borrowed time, perhaps we should concentrate our efforts not on making reforms to oil extraction processes that, however one looks at them, are still creating or potentially creating huge ecological disasters. Rather, let us put tax dollars and create jobs in the fields of sustainable energy development and lowering our energy footprint. Right here in our own backyard would be just fine. Jo Phillips Otter Point

On November 15 at approximately 9 a.m. I was walking my dogs up Tregear Road when I noticed one of my dogs pawing and acting kind of funny at something. I went and had a look and to my surprise and disgust, there was a deer that had been shot, gutted and skinned laying there in broad view. Whoever did this is very cruel and ignorant for doing this to such a innocent animal. On top of leaving this animal exposed, they cut off his skinned hind leg and propped it up against a rock and they also took the horns off of this animal. This is not a dumping grounds for this type of behaviour. There are certain places to take this and dispose of it properly. What a waste of a good animal. At least you could of kept it at home, hung it up properly and donated the good meat to the food bank, if all you wanted from this animal was its horns. I’m sure the food bank could of put the meat to good use as they do have freezers and fridges to store meat in. This has been done quite recently as there are no animal bite marks or turkey vulture marks present. When I saw this, I notified our new neighbours, she told me that her dog found it also maybe a day or two ago. This is very disgusting, unsanitary, and unhealthy for people to see. What sick demented person would do this? Someone who doesn’t give a damn of where they dump their dead animals. How would you like it if I and everybody else from Sooke came and dumped our dead animals on your property? Guess it wouldn’t bother you as you don’t seem to care as to where you dump your dead animals. Have some respect for other people’s property. I couldn’t figure out what this horrible smell was until I saw this animal on November 15. C.J Malooney Sooke
letters
I do not want to cause trouble and hope no person will try to legally challenge the results of the election. Personally I was pleased with these results and believe they are correct, but I would like to suggest than in future the proper procedures be followed. Doug Wilson Sooke
reads: “While an elector is in a voting compartment to mark a ballot, no other person may observe or be in a position to observe the ballot being marked.” I believe that the secret ballot is one of the foundations of modern democracy. How can Canada so strongly urge other countries to adopt fair democratic procedures when we do not follow them everywhere ourselves? I trust that the voters of Sooke resisted the temptation to influence their neighbours or examine their ballots before submission, but I do not see how we can be sure this never happened.

DEATHS
Walter Bohn We are saddened to announce the passing of Walter Bohn, the Patriarch of his still growing family. Born in the North Sea Island in Wyk auf Fohr, Germany, in1931; Walter immigrated to Canada in 1953 with his young family, first settling in Port Arthur, Ontario, and later to Vancouver Island to be close to beaches and the sea that he so loved. Walter was a hard and diligent worker, providing for his family through his sheet metal shop & heating company. He had a strong work ethic but also knew the importance of family and being with his children. Many summer weekends were spent on the shores of Northern Ontario lakes, and many evenings wrestling with his kids on the kitchen floor. Fishing and hunting were a passion as well as sailing on Lake Superior while they lived in Thunder Bay. He enjoyed salmon fishing and became known for his skill in smoking fish. Beloved husband, Papa, and Opa, Walter is survived by Gertrud, his wife of 62 years; 8 children: Inga (Rick), Ina (John), Rene (Ed), Ellen, Louise (Tom), Walter (Michelle), Joanne (Howard), Erika (Robert). He also leaves 17 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. He will be sorely missed.

Spartans 21-12 loss in do or die playoff game against the Titans On a sunny crisp Saturday afternoon Spartans played a do or die playoff game against the Titans-with a 21-12 loss on the day the Spartan’s first season in the Island Co-op league came to an end. Defence faltered with lack of outside containment in the first half however played strong in the second half with two steals by Logan and LaMontagne, holding the Titans to one score. On offence Steele and Price both bootlegged for our two scores with T-Bone Boyd and Ben Power catching a number of
passes. Carrier at center snapped a perfect game including two convert tries and a punt! A fun season was had by all: no concussions (for 6 seasons), no serious injuries. We came in second in a eight team league playing American High School rules for the first time. We scored the second most points and had the stingiest defence. All in all it was a good season. The boys did well. We are very proud of them. God Bless and see you at the field! CoachAndy

Sooke soccer clinics, wins and losses in spirited play for crisp Fall days
Daniel Chauvin photo
Sooke Soccer held a goalkeeper and striker clinic last Tuesday with two amazing coaches from Victoria, Shel Brodsgaard and Jamie (JJ) Fales. Players from U10-U18 participated in the clinics. Just under 80 kids attended despite the chilly winds. SSC would like to thank Shel and JJ for coming to Sooke to teach our kids some new moves. SSC would also like to thank Tim Satterford for arranging the clinics. We plan to hold more clinics in the upcoming months. The Sooke Dolphins U8 girls had a frosty Saturday morning game against JDF Saunders and pulled out a 2-1 win. These girls are getting better with each passing game, they have a home game next Saturday Nov 22 at 11 am on Field #1 Come on out and cheers these superstars

A lovely goal from Matthew Miller on a PK, outstanding Goal tending from Bobby Nex and our brand new player Rylin Wilsher made some great saves in the second half unfortunately our boys lost to Gorge 2-1. Michelle Berkely – Coach Sooke U-15 Boys arrived at the JdF Field 3 with their team at full strength, with focus, and a lot of determination to take home a win. Nick Seabrook opened up the scoring with a free kick through JdF’s wall placing the ball top right corner 8 mins into the

Crabbing getting good, as saltwater salmon slows lately. Herring, salmon bellies, and octopus have been popular baits while anchoring or drifting in 180 to 240ft of water. Crabbing in the harbour has been getting better, with catches of two or three nice Dungeness crabs per outing being more common. Best baits include fresh fish trimmings or chicken backs and necks fished during the incoming tide. The winter Spring salmon fishing should be picking up soon!
Saltwater fishing for salmon in Sooke continues to be slow for the time being. High winds and the fact that there has not been a lot of action from winter Spring salmon has kept most boats off the water, so there aren’t many good reports coming in. I have heard the odd report of boats getting a strike or two but only a couple of fish coming in. The salmon that have hit the gear have been deep, 120 to 140ft on the downrigger. Halibut has been good for those able to get out when the wind is down. The halibut fishing has been consistently good with catches in the 15 to 35lb range being weighed in

How our first order Estevan Lens got chipped Chipped it is, indeed, but it’s ours. The only known item that shows the effect of Japanese forces shelling B.C.’s coast in World War II is now part of Sooke’s landscape. It was just a few months after Pearl Harbour, in June of 1942, that submarine I-26, commanded by Minoru Yakota, shelled Canadian shores at Estevan Point. While the DOT meteorological station was likely the main target, the lighthouse was in the line of fire as well. Wireless operator E.T. Redford wired, “We are being shelled” while lightkeeper Robert Lally ran up the tower staircase to close down the light. A 17-year-old lighthouse assistant in 1942, Clifford Martin, now of Nanaimo, recalls the event and the hysteria clearly. At the time of the shelling, he had just been transferred from his lens polishing job at Estevan to the lighthouse at Lennard Island. For a period during the 1980s it seemed that this significant article of Canadian history would end up in an American museum, but due to the determination of Lanny Seaton and other crew members of the Canadian Coast Guard Station on Huron Street in Victoria, this was not to be. Fortunately for Canada’s own historical records, it seems that Lanny, currently a councillor in Langford, took a stand, along with the rest of the Coast Guard crew, when faced with an impending visit from representatives of the Smithsonian Institution. Though the group planned to take the incredibly valuable First Order Fresnel Lens back to Washington with them, the men at the base objected, protesting that such a significant part of Canada’s history should remain in Canada. Soon after the 1906 wreck of the iron steamship Valencia at Pachena Point, with great loss of life, a series of navigational aids including more lighthouses had been established on our coast. A First Order Lens is the largest ever constructed for lighthouse use and at the time both Estevan and Triangle Island (off the north Island) were equipped with these

immense many-faceted glass structures. At that time, the lenses rotated in a bed of mercury, but decades later, when the hazard of mercury use was better understood, these lenses were retired and other lighting installed. Sooke had many friends at the Coast Guard base, and with the help of foreman
Donny Clark, who had grown up in Sooke, the hierarchy was persuaded to allow the Sooke Region Museum to acquire ownership of the long-retired Triangle Island Lighthouse dome. By then it was 2004, and Triangle Island’s original First Order Fresnel Lens was long gone. After the 14-ton
dome was transported to the museum in an ingenious feat of engineering, it was mounted on a tower and fitted with the sister First Order Lens that had been retired from Estevan Light when it was refurbished. Today this historic chipped lens from Estevan Point is seen each day by motorists who drive by the Sooke Region Museum. The second photo shows Pete Fletcher, retired from the Coast Guard,

Joy for all seasons
I don’t know about you, but I love the change of seasons. Mother nature’s remodel is great for our bodies and souls as each season gives us an opportunity to tackle new hopes, goals and wardrobes. The end of March brings excitement comes with the realization that Spring is around the corner. The end of September brings an excitement for warm cozy sweaters and warm drinks and please don’t get me started for what is coming in December. In our family Christmas began almost two weeks ago! As we enter every season, we are excited for the newness but as the weeks pass by, usually the excitement fades and then the complaints begin: “Man when will this summer end? It’s so hot” “I cannot stand another Christmas song, people are too crazy”. This pollutes our mind adding stress to our lives, and the question that we face is: can we truly be joyful in every season? You might be a skeptic when you realize that my answer is yes! The Bible states “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Whatever your approach to Christianity, you cannot deny that this is good advice. Every day, let me repeat that, every single day is a gift that has been given to you, 86400 seconds filled with possibilities and that fact should make you smile every day. So here is your challenge as you wake up tomorrow morning. Instead of letting the thoughts of Christmas, the next allergy season or tax time overwhelm you, look out your window and observe the amazing corner of the world where we live, and like Frodo and Sam get up and be ready to tackle the new adventure that is ready to unfold in front of you. That may sound like a fantasy but the truth is, this God who created the seasons and conducts the passing of one into another every year, is the same God who created you and who desires that in the midst of each season of your life, that you would turn to Him to find your source of strength and hope. Whether you are in the spring of life, or frozen in the winter of your soul, find your joy in Him.

Looking Back
Letters
A look back at what made the news in Sooke in years past. November 19, 1974 Velvet paintings go cheap in village price war The price in Sooke of velvet paintings brought into the country from Mexico dropped from $20 each to $14 in less than 15 minutes Saturday as a mini-price war developed between Larry Olson of Sooke Furniture Gallery and Faisal Shawar of Edmonton who set up the outdoor display across the street. Mr. Shawar began the day by selling the paintings for $20 as he had on Thursday. Mr. Olson, explaining that he was prepared to take a loss to meet the “no overhead” competition of Mr. Shawar, who was selling from a parking area in front of Seaview Pharmacy, set up his collection of Mexican paintings outside too, and announced a price of $18. As fast as a Mirror reporter could cross and re-cross the street, Mr. Shawar dropped his price to $15 and Mr. Olson put up a sign announcing a price of $14. At that point, Mr. Shawar shrugged and said, “Everybody’s entitled to make a living,” repeating his $15 price. And at last report that’s how things stood as the business day came to an end. November 21, 1984 Voter turnout only 9 per cent Only nine per cent of Sooke voters turned out Saturday to elect candidates to school board and forum council. Incumbent Horst Doniecki was reelected to his seventh consecutive two year term defeating Donald Lassey and Sandra King. Incumbents Lorna Barry and Rick Metcalfe were re-elected to two-year terms on the Forum Council along with Richard Beauchamp, of East Sooke. Paul Gleave was defeated. Returning officer John Williams called Sooke’s voter turnout “the worst that I have ever seen.” Regional Director Ray Nestman said it

Sooke recycling coordinator Chic Davis says he’s received
many phone calls over the past few months from people wanting to know when the recycling program will begin. “There’s a lady at Gordon’s Beach who keeps phoning me and saying if the program doesn’t begin soon she’ll have to move out of the house, because she’s got so much stuff
saved up,” Mr Davis told the Mirror. Drop box locations will be at 17-Mile House, Milne’s Landing and John Muir School upper parking lot. November 16, 1994 Sooke teen to get bravery medal for rescuing dad A 16 year-old Sooke teen has been awarded
! e k o o S u o Thank y
the Governor General’s Medal of Bravery for his participation in the rescue of his father after a hiking accident last September. Reg Stratton will travel to Ottawa with his father Peter in December to officially receive the award from Governor General Ramon Hnatyshyn at Rideau Hall. The Medal of Bravery is awarded for acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances, and are awarded by the Governor General on the advice of the Decorations Advisory Committee. Reg was nominated by a woman in Sidney who had read about the accident that occurred while he was enjoying a day hike on Mount Arrowsmith with his father and friend Joel Hanson. Peter ran into trouble while the trio were coming down from the top of one of the smaller peaks in the area. Reg said as his father crashed into the rocks he slid about 100 feet down a narrow gap between two peaks.

more than $1 million. Roundabouts can be useful for dealing with intersections where there are traffic problems. The Transportation Plan, adopted in 2009, identifies a couple of intersections where roundabouts might be okay in the future when traffic volumes, particularly from the side street, are high enough to warrant the expense. But wait – council has made a number of decisions in the past five-six years that have made any significant development of a new downtown unlikely, if not impossible. A modified vision for the downtown area, which contradicts parts of the Downtown Plan, is included in the OCP, but there is much evidence that this version also won’t ever see the light of day. So why would you build a roundabout at the north end of a new “Main Street” that isn’t likely to ever happen? The mayor is quoted as saying the project “provides safer pedes-
trian travel.” Research shows roundabouts are actually one of the most dangerous forms of car/pedestrian interface. This research was shared with the previous council. For much of the day, traffic moves through this area fairly quickly and easily, until it hits the lights at Church or Otter Point Road. With the new roundabout, traffic will be slowed down significantly in the middle before it reaches the lights. The 15-20 cars per hour that want to turn left out of the Evergreen Mall during rush hour will certainly have an easier time of it, but do we really need to spend more than a million dollars for that to happen? I suppose there is a very tiny chance that the new mayor and council will come to their senses and stop the project before any more money gets wasted, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

it gave you the flavor and whether you liked it or not. Obviously they did. The Williamson’s have been in Sooke for just over two years and they couldn’t be happier. They have found community in Sooke and volunteer at the Sooke Fine Arts Show and both are members of the Lions Clubs. Both of them are small town people and they said “Sooke is perfect.” “People care about each other here,” said Rae. Rae and Wes will be at the Christmas market for all three days.

hen one has a passion for creating art, that passion will sprout roots and grow. The passion comes from the act of doing and the end result is a fascination and appreciation for all art forms. That’s what it is to be an artist. Artists and their muses are what make the world a more beautiful place. They are the ones who enrich our lives through their creativity. A whole roomful of artists and crafts people will be gathered at the Sooke Community Hall from November 21 to 23 for the annual All Sooke Arts & Crafts Christmas Craft Fair. Two of those are Sooke residents Rae and Wes Williamson. Between the two of them they have commandeered just about the whole basement of their home for their respective art projects. Rae is a multi-faceted artisan who makes plates, bowls, jewelry and ornaments out of glass as well as beautiful intricate beaded jewelry. Wes does silverwork and faceting of semiprecious stones which he fashions into pendants, rings and bracelets. He calls himself a rock hound. Together the two of them spend hours in their studio space working on their individual pieces. “He is awesome from a technical aspect,” said Rae of her creative partner and husband. “We are inspired by what each other is doing. He will also say, ‘what do you think of this?’, It’s a good marriage.” Their work is well designed and intricately put together. It is far from simple beads on a string or earring made from bought findings. Wes fashions his jewelry the old-fashioned way with the tools of the trade - hammers, carving tools, heat and a lot of time. Rae started out beading and has since expanded her methods

Middle, Rae Williamson works with glass shards and Wes show some of the jewellry which will be at the market. Bottom a copper necklace by Rae and a group of pendants fashioned by Wes. to include enameling and metal and leather work. She is finding she wants to re-purpose items and bits and pieces that would normally go into the trash or a second hand store. Filings from brass have been incorporated into glass, adding a one-ofa-kind element to her pendants. Old silverplate is used in several ingenious ways as are broken shards of heavy
duty glass. “It forces me to take it and combine it with other methods,” said Rae. You can see the deep influence each has on the other. They both experiment on techniques that interest them and they love learning. Each winter they would go to Arizona and attend the megarock and gem show. In
Quartzite, Arizona each year there are acres of rock enthusiasts with acres of products to tempt other enthusiasts. It is the largest rock and gem club in North America. “It gives you the opportunity to try almost anything,” said Wes. When they did spend five to six months in the south, they were truly immersed in learning and Wes said

Unwin wants to transform people through the power of art Daniel Chauvin
Sooke News Mirror
Paul Edgar Unwin is a man on a mission. Having lived in Sooke many years ago, he sold his Noble House Coffee and Teas, and made his way North to Port Hardy and Quatsino to live a simple and remote life. He travelled the world, and eventually came back to Vancouver Island with renewed vision. Unwin received a set of carving knives for Christmas one year and he set about carving his first piece. As with any original artist, his first piece was an entry point which set him on the road to a higher calling. Teaching himself the art of chainsaw carvings was an evolution in his craftsmanship and he took up the challenge with gusto. After a stint in Port Hardy, under the mentorship of master chainsaw carver Terry McKinnon, Unwin wanted to “see what his art could do.” Passing on certain
Daniel Chauvin photos
Above Paul Unwin with some of his carvings, right the Angry Salmon. carvers’ secrets and techniques, McKinnon impressed upon Unwin not to join speedy chainsaw competi-
tions, or art shows, but to focus on the magical process of the art itself. The apprenticeship emboldened Unwin in
his vision to transform people through the power of his art. And Sooke, he felt, was a place in dire need of
public art and beautification. So he returned with the dream to inspire people in the town that beckoned him back with its natural beauty and community spirit. Unwin’s tools consist of several chainsaws of varying sizes for rough cuts to highly detailed slices. His pieces, which are found all over the world speak of a primal nature that is expressed in bold and nuanced flow. “You have to be able to draw before you carve. Leaving the face and getting to the general outlines in the front first. Then I move to the side and back of the figure… and lastly I return to the eyes, which is where the deepest expression takes place,” Unwin said. Looking closely at his carving of Angry Salmon it is easy to see how true this statement is. The two salmon seem to carry a chiselled determination to make their way back upstream to spawn unto death. His work is a menagerie of wild animals fro-
zen in life-like moments of fluid grace and contemplative stillness. From towering, larger-than-life bears, to majestic eagles and playful otters, Unwin is deeply inspired by the surrounding nature of the island he calls home. The power of the Northwest Coast totem poles have been a source of inspiration for his art as well, with his style marrying the traditional native craft with the wildness of British Columbia’s animal life. His hope is to create a monumental piece
in the centre of Sooke: a town clock gushing with a ‘frozen’ waterfall and a host of wild creatures to draw attention to the relentless power of art and nature in a kinetic fusion of vision, power and beauty. “I have an idea and I want to commit to it: to transform people through my art,” Unwin said. His art can be found in Sooke at Maple Ave for Eve Grove subdivision and a carving on the covered bridge at the end of the road, as well as an eagle carving in the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce office.

New app for keeping track of your pets Daniel Chauvin
and systems and also creates apps. The Petunia app focuses on pet medical history, but also records personality quirks, symptom tracking, dietary requirements and makes it easy to share
Sooke News Mirror
A former Sooke resident has developed a helpful app for keeping track of your pets. Called ‘Petunia’, the helps keep your pets safe and their records close when it matters most. Christopher Prince and his wife Natasha Vizcarra currently live in Louisville, Colorado. The couple has four cats which has been a big part of their inspiration for the application. She is a writer and and a graphic artist, and has led the visual design. The couples’ company name is named after one of their cats, who first had the nickname Muffin, and then became “Spastic Muffin” because she ran around the house crazily. The name stuck for the company. Christopher lived in Sooke for a time. He went to elementary school and completed high school at Edward Milne. He worked at Village Foods working as a bag boy. One of his employers lent him a Canon SLR (pre-digital) camera and got him started on his photography hobby.
that information with pet sitters and veterinarians. The app is designed for the iPad and iPadmini running IOS 6 or later. It is a free app and the in-app purchases allow for full-sharing of
information as well as removes ads. You can download the Petunia on the app store. Go to: www.spasticmuffin.biz/
We knew that our toilet was using water. We didn’t know it was losing water.
CRD
When we heard that in one year a leaking toilet could waste enough water to fill a swimming pool, we wanted to know if our toilet was water tight. So we picked up a leak detector tablet and did the test. Turns out, our toilet needed a simple tune-up. Now it’s working fine.
File photos
Above the web page for Spastic Muffin as it could look with pet photos on it. Below, Christopher Prince, a former Sooke resident who has designed the Petunia app to track your pets. He went on to study computer science at the University of Victoria, his MA in psychology from the University of Hawaii, Manoa, and his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Unofficially, this Ph.D. was in cognitive science, and was split between psychol-
ogy and computer science. Chris studied dolphins in Hawaii and chimpanzees and rats in Louisiana. After a stint as a professor in computer science, he left the university and started his software company. Spastic Muffin does software contracting on various projects
