Couple faced ‘nightmare’ experience in Mexico Sooke couple deals with costly medical emergency Pirjo Raits
Sooke News Mirror
The ambulance parked in front of Kelly and Paul DeRocco’s home on Anna Marie Road signals some sort of medical emergency. It was. Kelly and Paul had just returned from a nightmare experience in Mexico and the stress has left her vulnerable to heart palpitations. That was what she was experiencing on March 11 just days after returning from what was supposed to be a 10th wedding anniversary trip. Kelly was diagnosed with a condition called SVT 15 years ago and has taken pills ever since with no occurrence until her trip to Playa del Carmen in Mexico at the end of February. That’s when the nightmare began. After going for a swim, after two glorious days of having a lot of fun, Kelly started getting heart palpitations. “You need to call the doctor,” said Kelly to Paul. Her heart rate was

close to 200 beats per minute and this lasted more than 50 minutes before she made it to the closest hospital about five minutes from the hotel. Kelly said her heart condition hadn’t caused her any problems in the past but as she is getting older it can worsen. Kelly is in her mid-40s. “That level is dangerous, it could turn into a heart attack,” she said. That’s when she realized that her life was worth just $2,000 US. The couple had purchased travel insurance, as they had done so many times in the past, but the private hospital they went to would not accept any insurance cards. They demanded the $2,000 up front even before a doctor would see her. It was up to the couple to get reimbursed by the insurance company once they arrived home. Luckily their credit card went through and she was admitted. “I don’t remember too much,” said Kelly. It was discovered she had tachycardia caused by dehydration. Her heart rate was stabilized and her enzymes brought down and her hospital stay extended for another 24 hours because of the risk of a heart attack. Another $1,000. They never
would have to find their own way home if they couldn’t made the March 14 flight. Needless to say, they will not fly with Air Transat ever again. In the end it was WestJet that came to the rescue. The couple had Westjet dollars saved for a flight to

Phone calls to the phone numbers on the back of the insurance card were unreachable, the service unacceptable. All Kelly wanted was to go home.

Toronto in the summer and they were able to use these and another $900 to fly home to Victoria. “At WestJet they said, ‘don’t worry, we’ll get you home,’” said Paul. A stewardess named Katrina, when told of their ordeal, gave them a $500 credit towards their Toronto flight. The stewardess said that, “as WestJet employees we can do this.” “Now I won’t deal with anyone else,” said Paul of WestJet. “It caused a lot of anxiety, I got a lot of grey hairs over it and I don’t want others to go through this,” said Kelly. The story isn’t about the money, they said, it is about the need to be informed. They want people to be aware that just because they have

Kelly said it has always been just her and Paul and they get by. “It’s life,” she said. “It happens.” For now they are taking it easy, trying not to worry and stress themselves out. They hope they have opened people’s eyes to what can happen — and most of all they are appreciative of our medical system where they have to treat you no matter what. “Here they have to treat you no matter what, in Mexico they don’t care, my life was worth $2,000. I won’t travel out of the country anymore,” said Kelly. “I hope our experience has opened people’s eyes,” said Paul.

Things to consider As daylight savings time is here, the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) reminds people about maintenance as we move into spring. IBC’s top 10 things to do as daylight saving time begins are: 1. Test and maintain your smoke detectors. Change batteries at least twice a year. 2. Check your CO detectors.
3. Review your family’s emergency plan. Ensure that you have a plan that works, and review it with family members to remind them what to do and where to go in case of an emergency. 4. Update your emergency kit. 5. Check your firstaid kit and replace any missing supplies. 6. Have your fuelburning appliances inspected by a trained professional. 7. Check your chimney and vents.
Have a professional inspect these to ensure that everything is connected and in good condition and that nothing is blocked. 8. Check your car’s tire pressure and fluid levels, and make sure all lights and signals are working. 9. Update your home inventory. 10. Review your home insurance policy. If you have questions, contact your insurance representative. For further information, consumers

Upcoming Public Meetings PROPOSED 2015-2019 FIVE YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN Do you want more information on how your property taxes are spent?
2015 Sooke Fall Fair plans in the works The Sooke Fall Fair planning is well under way and this year we are encouraging our communities to take responsibility for their soil by keeping garbage out of the landfills, keeping their landscapes and ditches clear of garbage, and being creative in reusing and recycling in various ways. These include ways to use your food so there is zero waste, whether it be stew, shepherd’s pie, soup, compost or food for your chickens and other animals you may have.
We are encouraging folks to sew using recycled fabrics or update or recreate new styles with secondhand or just plain tired clothing. Put your creative mind to work. There are great opportunities here to use your compost to grow the largest pumpkin, zucchini, or sunflower. You choose and enjoy great prizes. We are also embracing light which includes not only the warmth, growing and glowing of the sun but also technology. With this in mind there will be
opportunity for youth in the “Science Center” at the fall fair this year. We are also looking at having solar car races (toys of course). We at the fall fair have always been a conscientious group with great care to reuse and recycle. We no longer use throw away plates and cups and we compost our food waste and recycle when needed. Watch for our catalogue with many more opportunities to try out your skills. We look forward to seeing you at the fair.
The District of Sooke will be holding a series of public meetings to develop the 2015 annual budget, the fiveyear financial plan and the 2015 property tax rate. The next scheduled meeting on the proposed 2015-2019 Five Year Financial Plan will be:
Dig out some of your favourite recipes or look through some of your old family recipe books and research how families used up leftovers in creative ways and look at submitting your recipe at the fair. We are also looking for someone to head up our art section. Our outgoing section head is more than willing to train and help out the newcomer. Ellen Lewers President Sooke Fall Fair

Single parents get more support The Government of B.C. is announcing a significant change to the income and disability assistance program that will help single parents secure a meaningful job by allowing them to stay on assistance for up to 12 months while they train for their new job. Government’s $24.5-million investment over five years helps ensure all British Columbians have an opportunity to benefit from B.C.’s strong and growing economy and transition into the workforce with skills and training that align with today’s labour market demands. “Single parents on income assistance who are ready to find employment often face obstacles that most of us don’t experience: Paying for day care before your first paycheck arrives, buying supplies or a bus pass, even registration costs for school.” Michelle Stilwell, Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation. This major program change recognizes how challenging it can be as a single parent, especially when transitioning into the workforce. Under the new Single Parent Employment Initiative, more than 16,000 single parents on income and disability assistance will also have access to a range of supports that will help break down the barriers they often face when trying to find a full-time job, including: • Tuition and education costs for approved training programs that last up to 12 months for in-demand jobs. • Transportation costs to and from school. • Full child-care costs during training. Upon completion of their training, single parents who are eligible for a child-care subsidy will continue to have their full child-care costs covered for one year after they leave school and enter the workforce. They will also retain their health supplement coverage for a year after they leave income assistance. The Single Parent Employment Initiative, will launch in September 2015.

The more health diminishes the more vulnerable we become. The local community of Sooke is a caring place for our large number of seniors - 70 to over 100-years-of-age. Help is available and it is important to reach out when assistance is first required. This is available to anyone after surgery, recovering from an illness or seniors who stay in their home.

This is non-profit run by long serving volunteers who depend on donations. It is important that those who borrow the aids return them when no longer needed. The inventory is costly and the service is very generous. The Loan Cupboard will also supply transportation. The volunteer drivers are insured and they carry third party insurance. Volunteers are welcomed as help is always needed. Leave a message at 250389-4607 for loans or 250-389-4661 for transportation. ccess to nutritious meals is often required.

Vancouver Island First Nations gather for summit Protection of the environment is a number one priority for the T’Sou-ke First Nation said Chief Gordon Planes. On March 25 and 26, over 50 First Nations communities will connect at an event organized by the T’Sou-ke First Nation around marine safety and risk reduction. Recognizing the increasing level and pace of resource development happening along B.C.’s coast, T’Sou-ke Nation Chief, Gordon Planes saw a need to bring Island representatives together and consider opportu-
nities and risks. “It’s all about what Kinder Morgan is doing to us, it’s all about information. We intervened in the Kinder Morgan process,” said Planes. “The environment is number one. If we’re not looking at it, it’s an accident waiting to happen. It worries us — look at how beautiful this place is.” The T’Sou-ke Nation Marine Safety and Risk Reduction Summit will be a forum to share ideas about marine safety, as well as habitat protection and restoration in the context energy development and a growth

Polecutting at Leechtown While we generally associate Leechtown with gold, its history is varied, and includes talc mining, logging, sawmilling and pole cutting. This photo, early 1960s, shows the pole cutting operation of Bob Hughes. Poles were generally taken from a forest before the felling of the larger trees. Tall and slender, the cedar poles were felled, limbed and barked, and were destined for use as communications poles, ie hydro and telephone. While there have been a number of pole cutting operations in our area, some of the better known names were Alec Manzer, Eric Bernard, Alf Brown, Ted Shaw and Bob Hughes. While Bob Hughes had a CNR siding at Leechtown and at Woodlands Road and at the north end of Parkland Road in Saseenos, the scene shown here was a few miles past Leechtown near Sooke Lake. The figure standing by the Caterpillar tractor is Dave Reid. Dangling in the foreground is a cedar pole,

Ask the Expert People often say,” I want to donate my body to science when I die. It will be easier for my family.” When in fact there are steps to be taken and alternative plans to be made. Registration: You can register as a body donor by completing our two consent forms. At the Time of Death: As soon as possible after death has occurred, the executor, next of kin or health care professional must contact the UBC Body Donation Program at 604-822-2578. Prolonged delay in notification can result in the decline of the donation. If a funeral service is desired it is strongly recommended that it take place in the form of a memorial service without the presence of the body. It is suggested that arrangements be made for this type of service prior to death. In order to determine if a body is appropriate for donation, our staff must first contact the physician and family of the deceased. A medical history for the deceased will only be obtained after death. The executor/next of kin and physician will be notified once we determine if the donation can proceed. Once accepted, we will make all of the necessary arrangements for transport of the body by our approved funeral home and licensed transport provider to UBC. If declined, it will be the responsibility of the executor or next of kin to make alternate arrangements for the deceased. Accepted Donations: Accepted donations will remain under the care of the University for a period of six months to three years. After use, the University will arrange for cremation of the remains and the executor/next of kin will be contacted to collect the ashes. All cremated remains must be claimed at this time. Information & consent forms available on line at http://cps.med.ubc.ca/body program/
being maneuvered into place on the flat deck rail car by a mobile loader. Sooke’s Gerry Davies worked a dozen years at this site, and recalls that it was Ken Shepherd who trained him in running the loader and also driving truck. Gerry recalls that among crew members he worked at Leechtown with, besides Ken Shepherd and Dave Reid, were Irving Perry, John Davis, Bill Locke, Doug Slater, Wal-
ter Meredith, Bill Burns and Bob Doyer. Generally, when the poles were loaded onto the flat decks of the Canadian National Railway, they were hauled to Victoria, where they were trans-shipped to Minneapolis for distribution to international markets as communications poles. Because this operation took place in the 1960s, the old steam locomotives which were noted for their haunting wail, had been replaced then
by diesel locomotives which had no charm, merely emitting a stentorian blast. If we went back even further to the 1930s in pole cutting, we could look at the Polemaker’s Shack at the museum, which shows an actual working shack in two compartments, one room for the polemaker, and one room for his horse. Elida Peers, Historian Sooke Region Museum

Movie madness at Whiffin Spit We all love rumours. Rumours have it that Leonardo DiCaprio is hunkered down at the Sooke Harbour House filming The Revenant. Rumour also has it that he is aboard a very large yacht in Victoria Harbour. That could be, but no one is confirming that particular rumour. The yacht, by the way, is pretty impressive. No ladies, sorry to tell you that is not the case, Leonardo is not in Sooke, neither is Nicolas Cage. The Revenant is being filmed in Alberta. We all love the movies, and the making of movies is fascinating but these people need time and space to work. Those curious about what is going on should not wander about the movie set, which happens to be the Sooke Harbour House. These people want some peace and quiet to work, so we should respect that. If we do, our town will have a reputation of being welcoming, discreet and a great place to film and that is a good thing. Right now we’re just getting a little taste of Hollywood — and it’s fun. It may inconvenience some of the neighbours and those traveling to the Spit, but please... keep your eyes on the road, no one wants and accident. The television movie for Hallmark is called The Last Resort. The plot and story line are unavailable as of press time, but they said they will get back to us. And just in case you didn’t know already, or have forgotten, one of the stars, Teri Polo stated on Twitter how beautiful it was in Sooke. This is the kind of response we welcome. All the rooms at the Harbour House and possibly other hotels, etc., are filled with cast and crew and they will be spending two weeks in Sooke. This will positively impact the entire community in many ways. Let’s make them welcome and show them how hospitable Sooke is.

Auditor leak has B.C. Liberals bailing B.C. Views March has been a good month for the B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that. Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new Auditor General for Local Government. This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign, and two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking. The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor General’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes going up too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze. Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting that their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits. But this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just making sure the figures add up. It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services like police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey. The “value for money” promise
is on the rocks. The government appointed a quasi-independent board (hello, BC Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal Auditor General office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this office has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18. Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed that there had been some rough water but there is smooth sailing ahead. Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member. It described chaos below decks, with “shifting priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.” Worse, the review noted a human resources monitor had been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.” “A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Horgan described the grim scene. “This is like we’re in Cyprus.” Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to con-
duct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets. Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard. Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings. Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on.

We asked: Do you think the library should go in John Phillips Memorial Park?
Barking Dog Studio
It’s been
365 days
That would work. It’s not doing anything, it’s just sitting there. Utilize it; something centrallylocated, so why not? We’ll need it anyways.
The park should stay in the park. It’s beautiful down there, so it should stay the way it is. There’s lots of property in Sooke to build it and get it more central. Keep it central.
It would be better in the centre of town.
They should keep it close to the centre of town, like where the current library is.

Nuisance cats I had no intention of addressing this slice of your impression of what I had as an agenda at the council meeting. But a few people who have witnessed my experiences and efforts and also have been impacted said they would be furious if that was said about their efforts to bring forward information for responsible cat ownership. I had critized the non gender inclusive language used in an Our View article recently. I was waiting for the response Animal Control Officer to invite information or his presence at the meeting. I feel very strongly there is a need for change as not taking any action impacts on the quality of people and my own life, continues to endorse no responsibility or consequences to the people who are affecting the “peace and enjoyment of one’s property.” The issues common theme of the night was on nuisance behavior of deer, racoons and cats. Your statement in no way addresses that there are solutions for the cat problem. On a larger scale they rummage through garbage and in addition to the soiling of people’s gardens, their use of playground spaces creates another health risk. There was a unanimous vote by council to clarify what “nuisance behavior” is and to define that in the

letters bylaw. This will include cats roaming at large from their own home without the permission of citizens. In my neighborhood five households at minimum are affected by the actions of two cats belonging to one household. The reason given to me by the cat owner, “my cat doesn’t like to use its litter box.” There is an available solution — invisible fencing which is likely less than the cost for medical care if the cat is injured. I forgot the most important fact. I have been working with CRD Animal Control for six months in their efforts to elevate the response from warning, to fine with photographic proof, to pounding by trapping and fined again. Final step would be the costly appearance in court with $10,000 fine maximum for continued violations as allowed by the current bylaws. I took the intiative to see if Sooke can get more teeth into the bylaw. But education is a much needed step as well around nuisance cat behavior. One can work around any laws if they have no conscience and willing co-participants but it doesn’t mean it’s a waste of time to pursue this. Carmen Neuman Sooke
ET cover up and the truth
Thank you for publishing my “response to” letter in our local paper of Mar 11, 2015. Unfortunately, you saw it necessary to scrap the pithy part. I am resubmitting this section once again for your consideration as it is this garbage that has hijacked humanity’s path to ascension and it needs to be made clear for all: (“They” are) bombarding us with bad food, disease, technoEMF’s, chemtrails, corporate science, religious distortions, precariat creation, extinction investment, 100 years of perpetual war and fear-mongering, false flag theatre and a media providing misinformation and no information, telling us the most trivial things are important, causing us to fight amongst ourselves, across genders and across races, as “they” - all world governments with the medical-military-industrial complex - suck the life out of us and this planet.

the aforementioned Robin Williamson. In 2011, he was an Official Showcase Performer at the Folk Alliance International Conference in Memphis, Tennessee, performing at the Winterfolk IX Festival in Toronto immediately after. Later that year, his OctoberQuest Tour took him from Montreal to San Francisco. At the FAR-West Folk Alliance Conference in Eugene, Oregon, he was a panelist on their Music in Education symposium. From 1987 to 1991, David Nigel Lloyd and His Mojave Desert Ceilidh Band became Los Angeles’ first Celtic Folk Rock band. Their 1987 cassette release, An Age of Fable, is slated for re-mastering and CD release in 2015. It features DNL’s signature song, “Poor Little Englishman!” DNL has been a teaching artist in public schools for over 20 years.

For our March Coffee House feature, the Sooke Folk Music Society is very excited to be presenting David Nigel Lloyd, this Saturday evening, March 21. At Holy Trinity Anglican Church. David Nigel Lloyd is a non-traditional traditionalist from California. As the British magazine Folk Roots wrote, “Lloyd uses traditional tunes and themes where it suits his purposes.” He has performed in folk venues in England, Ireland, Canada and throughout the United States. With his “spirited singing and full-bodied playing,” (Dirty Linen) “Lloyd is as much American influenced as British” (Steve Hochman, The LA Times). He accompanies himself on guitar and the eight-stringed octar. In performance, he often introduces his songs with an ornate joke, a true tale or, to keep things honest, an outrageous lie. As the LA Weekly once wrote, “Lloyd is some serious traditional fun.” In 2013 he conducted his How to Write a Traditional Song workshop and performed at the Tumbleweed Music Festival in Richland, Washington. DNL also performed at house concerts throughout Oregon and California. Lloyd’s predecessors were innovative singer/guitarists like Martin Carthy, Robin Williamson and the late Bert Jansch. In mid60s London, they saw the ballads, the blues, beat poetry, ragas, Zen teaching tales etc. as aspects of the same thing: a new popular song. Often as not they were fine song poets, too. Lloyd is firmly in their non-tradition. Though he sometimes sings traditional songs as he finds them, DNL often overlays them with new but related lyrics. In them, the old Anglo-Celtic pantheon of demon knights, faerie queens and divine drunkards are often found wandering the deserts, mountains and boom towns of Southern California where DNL lived for 35 years. “A strongly individual musical and poetic mind is at work here.” (beGlad, UK) Also, he still composes and sings the sort of art songs that distinguished his first

Linda Ferguson shares a passion for fashion Pirjo Raits
Sooke News Mirror
Linda Ferguson is a woman of style. She is known in the Sooke community for her clothing line of very wearable and ageappropriate fashions and in the broader southern Vancouver Island region for her expertise on how to dress. On February 27, Ferguson was honoured with a yoUnlimited Unlimited Woman Awards for Style. Style in her community, personal and business life. She doesn’t know who nominated her but is thrilled with the award. Style, said Ferguson, is something we all have, and some just do it better than others. “It’s confidence, it’s not about age or size,” she said. Apart from the clothing she designs, makes and sells, she is also a fashion wardrobe consultant and a speaker. She loves teaching women how to dress for their age and stage of life. She has a series
Pirjo Raits photo
Linda Ferguson of seminars she does, one called “From Frump to Fabulous” where she teaches women how to base their clothing decisions and fashion on line proportion and balance. Another seminar is all about looking professional in the business world. “Women, once they hit 50, hit a wall and stagnate,” said Ferguson. That’s where her expertise comes in. She said no woman should be trying to dress like her daughter and often it is the fear of getting
older that leads to poor fashion choices and that sends out the wrong message. “This is where a woman should embrace all the things
she has accomplished with style and elegance.” Ferguson is also the main Sooke organizer for the annual Shoebox Project which gives women in shelters and transition houses a few nice body care and personal gifts. “Things like that change a woman, “ she said. “It’s how you feel about your self and knowing you have value. It empowers.” Now, with years of fashion experience behind her, Ferguson is transitioning and planning for the future. She has a wealth of experience and wants to expand and push her boundaries, help younger women and try something else. She is bringing in a line
of skin care products (Rodan+Fields) and will continue with the clothing line although in a more selective way.

Sooke Garden Club: Growing with a garden calendar Mid-March is generally a very busy time for gardeners in our area. It’s the ‘normal’ time to undertake such outdoor chores as pruning roses, feeding the vegetable garden, fertilizing trees and shrubs, dividing and transplanting perennials, and weeding, weeding, weeding. It’s also the main ‘let’s get planting’ month for salad greens and other cool weather vegetables. This February’s mild weather not only allowed us a good head start on routine garden maintenance tasks, it also lured many of us into early seeding/ planting. On the indoor scene, March’s main gardening activities are starting seeds and tending to seedlings. I find growing food from seed truly satisfying, if not always a roaring success, and try to learn from pre-
vious triumphs and tragedies. (Of course I always intend to keep records so that there will be ‘facts’ to augment later recollections about seeds, sowing/ planting dates, harvesting, productivity, and so forth.) For me, the taste of homegrown produce is reward enough for the time, effort, and inevitable frustrations involved. As every farmer and backyard/balcony gardener knows from experience, a lot goes into successful growing. It’s about building good soil, using the right fertilizer, and selecting varieties suited to the particular climate/microclimate. It’s also about – and this is where it can get tricky – understanding and meeting each plant’s needs. Does this plant like cool weather or hot? When can/
should it be planted outside? How much water does it need? How much space? Can it be planted next year in the same spot?
At this month’s meeting of the Sooke Garden Club, Marika Nagasaka is going to help members simplify the process of growing
spring vs. late summer). Originally from the B.C. Interior, Marika has been farming at Otter Point’s ALM Organic Farm and Full Circle Seeds since 2003. She is passionate about sustainable farming and has a particular interest in seasonal salad mixes and winter gardening. She is also an engaged community member who enjoys exchanging information with other growers. Whether making a presentation or teaching a handson workshop, Marika engages people at all
a healthy, productive vegetable garden. She will talk about ‘calendaring’ for this area. More specifically, she will offer tips about calendaring, explain why creating a calendar and map of the garden is crucial to gardening success, and go a bit into specific dates, including winter gardening dates. She will also speak about the complexities of saving and germinating seeds and provide practical advice for improving the odds of achieving success in different conditions (e.g., early
levels of experience and believes that each one has valuable information to share. Join us on Wednesday, March 25, 7 p.m., at St. Rose of Lima Church on Townsend Road. New members are welcome. Annual fee: $15; guests: $5. There will also be a parlour show and plant sale. Contest potatoes will be available. Questions? Visit our website at sookegardenclub.ca, email s o o k e g a rd e n c l u b @ yahoo.ca, or phone Rose at 250-642-5509. Submitted by Loretta Fritz

On Saturday, March 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sooke District Lioness will be hosting their 12th annual giant yard sale, at the Sooke Community Hall – enter off Eustace. This yearly sale raises funds to send a handicapped child to Easter Seal Camp Shawnigan. A week of camp for a child with disabilities costs about $3000 due to the complex services and the number of trained caring staff required to care for these children. Camp Shawnigan provides handicapped children with new and wonderful experiences in a safe, loving environment. For many families, this service would be financially out of their reach without the support of Lions and Lioness Clubs. Donations of gently used items such as household supplies, bedding, clothes, kids’ toys, books, CD’s, current electronics in working order, etc. are welcome up to March 20. Pickup can be arranged by phoning either Pres. Kim at 778-425-4547 or Lioness Ellen at 250-642-7158. Hotdogs will be available for purchase while you shop. This sale is one of two major fund raisers for the Sooke District Lioness each year. The other is our fall Oktoberfest; profits from this event go to our Christmas Santa Sacks project. Sooke District Lioness were chartered in 1982, sponsored by the Sooke Lions Club. Our motto is “We Serve Too” and we often join the Sooke Lions in joint projects. We have had over 30 years of service in the Sooke District, supporting projects such as Lioness for Literacy – supplying books to schools; Sooke Crisis Centre, Transition House, Food Bank, CASA, as well as Dog Guides and Jeneece Place. We are very active participants in a women’s only community, a world-wide organization consisting of 1.3 million members in 45,000 Lioness Clubs encompassing 207 countries and geographical areas! This yard sale has been a success each year due to the great support we receive from our community (donations and purchases) and the many Sooke businesses where we display our posters. Join us at the Sooke Community Hall on March 21st – find your treasures and help a child go to Camp Shawnigan. Submitted by Lioness Gail Nash and Kim Sylvestre

30 March 1944 - 3 March 2015
Carole Ann Bullock
Ken MacDonald passed away peacefully 3 March 2015 at his home surrounded by his wife Mim, and all four of his children. He was born in Port au Port Newfoundland. He is survived and will be dearly missed by his wife Mim, children Christie, Tammy (Paul), Marcus (Kim), Scott (Claudia), and stepdaughter Leah. Grandchildren, Braden, Trentin, Cassidy, Sonia, Kelsey and Liam. His siblings Karl, Jean, Julie, Margaret and Gennie. He is remembered by many special friends too many to mention. He served with the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1961 to 1992 and settled in Sooke BC in 1992. His postings included, Rivers Manitoba, Zweibrucken Germany, Winnipeg Manitoba, Summerside PEI, Baden Germany, Comox BC, and Toronto Ont. After retirement he worked for 16 years selling Real Estate in the Sooke Area. He loved the water and spent his retirement years skiing, fishing, golfing, playing shuffleboard and organizing pool and Golf Tournaments. An active member of the Royal Canadian Legion, he will be missed by the Golf and Pool players and all the other members for his Newfie jokes and humour. He was a benevolent man who with his wife strongly supported the Legion (especially as Mim’s Souschef for all the Remembrance Day Ceremonies etc), the Lions, the Lionesses, the Food Bank and other charitable organizations. Ken asked that in lieu of flowers donations be made to RCL Branch 54 General Fund. A Celebration of Life will be held in the RCL Branch #54 Sooke BC 22 March 2015 at 1 pm.
'Kelly' to those who knew her well, Mom to those who loved her, and Grandma to all those blessed or in need, passed away peacefully at her home in Sooke, surrounded by many loved ones. Mom was born in England in 1944, emigrated to Canada at the age of three, was raised in Ontario, and settled in B.C. as a newlywed in the early 1960's with husband Alan McNaught. Mom was married to Frederick Bullock in 1975 and together, she and Fred found their forever home in Sooke. Mom was predeceased by her husband Fred and daughters Andrea and her twin sister Teresa, who died in infancy. Mom is survived by brothers Gerry and Brian and sister Alana; daughters Gillian (Frank), Kim and Arwen, ‘adopted' daughter Erica, and Fred’s children, Sherry and Casey; and her greatest pride, innumerable grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mom also leaves behind many life-long friends and adopted family in T’Sou-ke, as well as an extended community of online gaming friends. Our hearts are broken but her memories and the unconditional love and kindness she gave us all, will never be forgotten. A celebration of Kelly’s life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Sooke Branch 54 (upstairs) on Saturday, March 21st, from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sooke Hospice or the Cancer Society.

Did Satan really want Jesus to die? Or did he just want Jesus to suffer so much that He would decide dying for us wasn’t worth it? Did Jesus die to be victorious? Did Jesus need to die to redeem humanity? It would seem so. By dying, Jesus exposed the intentions of The Accuser. Until Jesus died, God stood accused of lying. Then, having given up His Spirit, Jesus finished the race; He executed the final move and died in abject humiliation, humiliation that was incited to cause Jesus to “bug out”...say “forget you!” ... later !!!! NOT !!! But He died instead. Not believing that He was really dead, the centurion on duty (Roman Executionary Authority) stabbed Him in the side to make sure he had no breath left....that He wasn’t faking to avoid having His legs broken like what had just happened to the thief to His left. No legs to push up meant no breath, meant quicker asphyxiation and quicker death. But He was already dead. He finished His course. He was the winner. Now the Accuser stands accused....as he should be...of inciting a revolt in heaven and on earth and claiming dominion of the rebellious outpost. He is who he is, after all. Jesus’ death proved he wouldn’t leave till the job was done. It also proved that the Father of Lies is exactly that...a Liar and a Cheater. Jesus says that anyone who wants to come home with Him can do that when He comes back again. That’s my plan. What about you? Want to live with a liar? Or a lover? Yup, I thought so.

Learn to Play fastball program is all about having fun

Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror
What is the worst thing any right-minded coach fears? Exclusion. A team where there is little to no communication between go-getter-type players and those less confident in their abilities. And whether it’s on the field or on the ice, team spirit (or lack thereof) is the thin line that lies between victory or defeat. At least, that’s the idea behind the Sooke Fastball Association’s Learn to Play starter fastball program: everyone plays. It don’t matter if you’re an all-star athlete or not. “Just turned five? C’mon out, learn to play ball,” says Sandra Cameron, program co-ordinator of the Learn to Play program. “You just need a pair of sneakers and a good attitude to get out and have fun.” Cameron notes the entry C-level fastball program is specially-designed to involve everyone on every level, regardless of their skill personality. “Kids are different; you have your confident go-getters, you have your athletic types to your super-shy, uncoordinated kids, and I think if we can get the message out there that any kid can come and try,” she said. “We’re not going to force them into it, but rather ease them in and gradually put them into that team spirit.” Dr. Chris Bryant, president of the Sooke Minor Fastball Association, notes the “gradual” part of successfully building up an involved and competi-
tive player in any sport is what is often missed in sports programs these days. “You want to get into games and rules, that’s further down the line in the B and A class,” he said. “I’m not interested in who can run the fastest, I just want to know if a kid can run for two or three minutes without stopping. I don’t want to see a kid who comes last all the time, this isn’t a running marathon; we help them integrate and work as a team.” The Learn to Play program, which involves participants aged five to eight years old, will begin in May and run once a week until late June. In their first weeks, kids will be taught the basics of the sport, along with general physical exercise. “At this age, sometimes the worst thing you can do is handicap a kid with a glove on their hand. Majority of what they’re learning how to do is done with non-traditional equipment,” Bryant said. “We’re going to teach them the fundamentals, but in a way where five and six year olds can understand.” After all, it’s easy to break a kid’s spirit; practice makes perfect, but impatience breeds frustration and insecurity - the complete opposite of what the up-and-coming program is all about. “For 13 or 14 year old kids, it can get pretty overwhelming, which is why good player development is all about stations; modules; the kids get trained in chapters. It is very key,” notes Bryant. No actual games are played during the course of the Learn to Play program, as its focus is towards practice – as you progress however, that starts to shift backwards; more games, less practice time, which starts in the B fastball division (Minor League Play is for ages nine-18) and goes into the A. And it isn’t just about getting the kids active either, but as Cameron points out, it’s also getting the parents involved and letting them see that it’s a good outlet for their kids to grow in. “Parents want to be involved in their kids’ lives,” she said. “If you have a good team that’s made up of the community, just to make the parents feel involved too is a big part of their kids’ development.” With the local sports community going strong, the district of Sooke will also playing host to the upcoming 2015 Boys Fastball Provincial Championships on July 10-12, 2015, there’s no doubt this is going to be an exciting fastball season. Last registration day is March 25, however late applicants are accepted. Visit the club’s website at www.sookefastball.com to learn more about the organization.

One of the best kept secrets in Sooke sports is the powerhouse known as the Sooke Girls Midget C hockey team. Last season the girls won both the regular season and playoff banners without losing a single league game along the way. This season they once again ran away with the regular season banner, losing only one game, a meaning-
der they had not seen all season. The game started poorly for the Sooke girls as they fell behind 3-0 in the first period, despite clearly dominating the play. In the first minute of the second period Nanaimo scored again to increase the lead to 4-0. Sooke finally beat the Nanaimo goalie five minutes into the second period, and that’s when the fun started.
mately 10 minutes into the second overtime period, Sooke captain and top scorer Jaelyn Dumont was able to convert on a breakaway, allowing the Sooke girls to win the championship and capture their fourth banner in two years. Not only did the girls easily win the regular season banner both years, they did so while being the least penal-

Fishing Adventures Fishing in Sooke has been good for this time of year. Typically the early spring/late winter is a great time for saltwater fishers to drop crab traps in Sooke Harbour, troll for salmon and/or anchor for some halibut fishing. The salmon have been consistent with at least a couple of strikes during an outing, Harbour Mouth, Trailer Park, and Otter Point have been reported as holding some salmon over the past couple of weeks. Halibut fishing is picking up with good reports coming from Jordan River and spots closer to Sooke. Fished with father and son John and Blake for salmon and halibut in Sooke. Early 7 a.m. we began trolling at the harbour
on the downriggers. Things were quiet until we got to Otter Point where we landed two nice springs, one on each set up. Continued to troll to the halibut spot, no more salmon bites. Changed over to anchoring the boat in 150 ft of water between Otter and Sheringham Points. The tide was ebbing at about 1.5 kts which put the gear at about a 45-degree angle in the rod holders. We put herring down on double “J” hooks connected to spreader bars with 2 lb weights on them. Blake took the first nice hit which came at about 1:30 p.m., two hours after anchoring up. It was a nice 30 lb halibut. The next one was John’s at about 15 lbs, and the last good bite

Brannen was among a dozen other youth who were also working on their latest tricks and enjoying their Spring Break last Saturday afternoon. chinook salmon can be retained by each angler carrying a valid saltwater licence with a salmon stamp. Those chinook can be wild or hatchery fish, although there is a restriction stating
that wild fish must be between 45 and 67cm, while the hatchery Chinook salmon can be any size over 45 cm. This restriction is in place this year from March 1st to June 12th, and applies to Sooke waters East of Sheringham Light House. Possession limit
on chinook salmon is four per person. This means that visitors to our area may travel home with double the daily limit of salmon in their possession. Regulation for halibut is currently one halibut per person per day with a possession limit of two, one of which may be over 90 cm with the head on. Maximum size limit on halibut is currently 133 cm. DFO warns that fish must be cleaned in a manner that the species, number and size can be readily determined. Easiest way to do this is to leave the skin, pectoral fin and a section of the tail on each whole fillet until you get the fish home for further processing. Please check the DFO regulations on line or at your favourite tackle store before heading out. Knowing the regulations and following them will make your time out on the water far more enjoyable and stress-free. Good Fishing, Ron Neitsch, 2 Reel Fishing Adventures Sooke B.C.
