Milk money school program down on funds Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror
The term “milk money” is one that’s become lost in translation over the years; does it still mean the leftover change from that school cafeteria burger, or, perhaps, the change that appointed bullies drain from their victims while holding them upsidedown at lunchtime. Either way, it’s not what you think it is in Sooke; in fact, it’s called the Milk Money Program, run by a conglomerate of parents (called the Parent Advisory Council, or PAC) in partnership with the local Village Food Markets. How it works? When a milk purchase is made, 15 cents from a Dairlyland 2 L bottle and 20 cents from every Dairyland 4 L bottle is donated to the program. Shelly@ShellyDavis.ca www.ShellyDavis.ca
In turn, this pile of cash is then compiled At Journey, a new playground is underway, and donated a local school of your choice. with several other field trips and fun school Then, in partnership with the schools, PAC programs.

Eighth Annual Writing Contest for EMCS Students Edward Milne Community School (EMCS) students in grades nine through to 12 can demonstrate their writing talent again this year in the annual Sooke Writers’ Collective contest on Wednesday, April 8. The contest starts at 11:10 a.m. and it includes a block of time that extends into the lunch hour. EMCS English teacher Mrs. Zanardo will run the contest at the school on around lunch time. There are two categories – junior and senior - with a first and second prize for fiction in each category and an overall first prize for poetry. Winning entries will be published in a print anthology created by the Sooke Writers’ Collective in May. “This will be our second anthology,” said Deb Clay, SWC member, “We are continuing the tradition started by Shirley Skidmore, Peter Lee and the Sooke
Scribblers. Each year they hosted a writing contest with EMCS and now we have added to the event by including the student writing in our print anthology. “The student submissions have been a lively and fresh addition to the anthology,” Clay added. “Whether it’s poetry, a short story or other form, the quality stands up to submissions from writers with many more years of experience.” Students are given a selection of prompts compiled by SWC members to help inspire the writing they will complete within the short time frame of roughly 75 minutes. The second anthology of the Sooke Writers’ Collective will be published later in the spring and available at several local stores and outdoor markets such as the Sooke Night Market. For more information, visit: www.SookeWriters.com.
New library revised The Vancouver Island Regional Library has approved the District of Sooke with a Request For Proposal (RFP) regarding the new library. This will be an opportunity for local individual property owners and developers to bid on a project in their community. More info to come in the coming weeks!

Cash raised at this year’s Appetite for Art fundraiser saw two local causes each received a cheque at a presentation held earlier this week at the Prestige Hotel in Sooke. Both the Sooke Food Bank and the Sooke Community Arts Scholarship Programme received a cheque for $1,100 towards their ongoing projects. Appetite for Art combines culinary and visual arts by inviting local artists and chefs to pair artwork with food and drinks. This year the second annual event was held and incorporated talented works of art with pairings from West Coast Grill, Yesaki’s, Stick in the Mud, Little Vienna Bakery, Sooke 2 for 1 and Nature’s Chef Tom Kral. “We are thrilled to have reached such a great total this year,” said Dan Houle, general manager at West Coast Grill and Yesaki’s. Appetite for Art took place on Sat-
urday, March 14 attracting a crowd of approximately 200 guests. The event is run by a committee made from members of Sooke Community Arts Council, West Coast Grill and Sooke Fine Arts Society. Funds were raised through ticket sales, art commissions and a raffle held on the night. “We’re pleased to say that thanks to the success of this fundraiser and last year’s, the Sooke Fine Arts Society is able to award two $750 Youth Art Scholarships this year to talented EMCS students looking to pursue post-secondary studies in the arts,” said Catherine Keogan, executive director of Sooke Fine Arts Society. “That kind of encouragement and support early in a young artist’s career can make such a difference, and allow them to take their place in the creative economy that underpins the kind of innovation that allows communities to flourish,” she said.

Peoples Drug Mart offers a free medication compliance program called “Med Manager”. The Med Manager is a blister pack compliance card that conveniently organizes your medication for a full week, and helps you identify what medications are to be taken at what time of the day. Many people today are on more than one medication and when you combine this with a busy and active life, it can lead to the confusion of properly taking your medications. Medication non-compliance is a major concern and accounts for approximately 25% of all hospital admissions among seniors.

Later Life rambLings
Shirley Lowe Springtime comes to rescue us from the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) syndrome that can overtake some of us in the months before some serious sun. A new outlook is possible when we are able to find joy in the new buds, flow-
ers, birds, greenness and longer brighter days. It is good to get outdoors, socialize and “re-season.” Professor Verena Menec, director of aging at the University of Manitobia, says, “The fact that people live longer should be celebrated as one of the biggest success stories in history and getting old is better than the alternative.” Her question was – How do seniors contribute to society? The answer: Like any younger person. They shop, use services which employ people, pay taxes and vote. They also volunteer and make more charitable donations per capita than any other age group. She reminds us that seniors baby sit, help care for grandchildren, do housework, home maintenance, mechanics and yard work for others as well. They provide emotional support and friendship. Seniors provide care for spouses or friends. The wife takes on more and more responsibilities inside and outside the home as the husband starts to get frail. As well there are husbands who take care of a wife who has Alzheimer’s and
requires care and constant reminders. He makes sure she gets dressed, eats properly, takes her medications and keeps her life as normal as possible. Because of him she is not a “burden” on the health care system. Professor Menec believes that acknowledging seniors’ contributions would create a more age-inclusive society. Margaret Mead wrote of the importance of grandparents, that, “the closest friends I have made all through life have been people who also grew up close to a loved and loving grandmother or grandfather.” Many happy childhood memories we all carry, if we were fortunate to have grandparents, was time spent with them. In Armand Eisen’s 1998 book, A Tribute to Grandmothers, actress and hollywood icon of the 1940s Billie Burke is quoted saying, “Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese. There are two ways of spreading light – to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Happy Spring!

Sooke Region Museum
2015 will see a number of new and exciting projects at the Sooke Region Museum. This year sees new exhibits, renovations, inventories, and the return of some of our most popular events and programs. Spring Exhibit On Saturday, March 28, a spring art show opened in the museum’s upstairs gallery. The show, called ARTiFACTS, is coordinated by Linda Gordon and has over 40 pieces on display. All of the art is representative of the Sooke region and includes paintings, photographs, sculpture, textiles and multi-media. The show will run until Sunday, May 30, and is open during the museum’s regular hours (Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). On Wednesday, April 1, this exhibit will be featured on Shaw TV’s “Go Island” on channel 4. It will be shown at 6 p.m. and repeated a few times throughout the evening. It will also be aired on Friday April 3 during the day until 6 p.m. Summer Exhibit For this year’s summer exhibit we will be utilizing our textile collection for a display on fashion. The exhibit is called Fashion Files: Dressing Sooke and will explore fashion throughout the 1900s with a focus on the style, stories and experiences of Sooke residents. In addition to utilizing our own collection, we are looking to residents of the Sooke region for object loans. We are looking for unique textiles and accessories that are in good condition. Examples of things we hope to get are uniforms, gowns, day and evening wear,
shoes, jewelry, and makeup containers. Items from the early 1900s are ideal. As for technical objects we are seeking dress forms, mannequins and plinths with lids taller than 32 inches. We particularly need children’s clothing and display forms or mannequins. Our interactive component will be a dress up station for photo-ops using our costume collection. We are in need of boy and girl children’s costumes for this activity. The exhibit will be opening at our annual open house and salmon barbeque on Sunday June 28 and will run until Sunday September 20. Additionally, there is an essay competition, themed around fashion, taking place in Sooke schools. Teachers will be giving out information to students shortly. Winners of the competition will be announced at the open house during the exhibit’s grand reveal. Archives One of the biggest projects we will be undertaking is an inventory and reorganization of our archive collection. This will help extend the useable life of our archive material and make it more accessible to staff. This inventory will make it possible for us to digitize our collection and eventually make a portion of it accessible online. This will be a very technical, labour intensive and detail orientated mission. So far, we have bought and installed new rolling shelves in our archive space. We’ve also built a heat box for treatment. For conservation and preservation purposes, all materials will be treated via the heat box or one of our deep freezers to reduce possible insect damage. Our next step is develop-

Soccer in Sooke... 100 years ago While soccer is likely the most poular sport in the world – based on the global participation level, at least – it’s never really been seen as a typically “Canadian” one, despite its seemingly continual rise in poularity. We all know soccer has been around a long time, but how long has it been a part of our own culture here on the coast of B.C.? While we didn’t have the carefully-tended playing fields or concession stands back a century ago, we did, apparently, have the enthusiastic players and loyal fans. Sports have always been an extremely important part of life in Sooke. The team of Sooke fellows in the accompanying photograph posed at a field in Metchosin in 1915. Several of the names will be familiar to readers as they are remembered by road names or geographical features. Standing at left in the accompanying photograph is Bert Mugford. eldest son of the Mugford family who built the boarding house that stood at the corner of Church and Sooke Roads, Bert became a wireless operator and served many years on the CGS vessel Estevan. Four of the men in the photo are the sons of matriarch Mary George and her husband Harry George Sr. who was lost at sea when the sealing schooner Walter Earl went down in 1895. Three of Mary George’s four sons in
turn served as chief in the years 1930-62. Danny George is at centre rear. He became well-known fishing with his seiners Saseenos and Atalasco, and mentoring a number of youths as crew during his many seasons fishing for salmon. Peter Lannan, right rear, was one of the sons of the Lannan family who lived on the waterfront and farmed throughout the fields and forests that were to become the subdivision of Saseenos. Centre row, first from the left is Louis George, who with his wife Agnes was stationed on the Sooke fishtrap as watchman for many years. While we’re not sure of the next player, it may have been a member of the Davidson family of Otter Point. Last in the row is Eddie George, youngest of the four brothers. Eddie’s daughter Jean Whitford, a T’Souke Elder, and youngest daughter Karen are both well-known in the community today. In the front is Arthur Stuart whose family pre-empted on Otter Point Road. Tommy Wright is next, he married schoolteacher Winnifred McGibbon. With the soccer ball is Eric Pyrah; his family had a farm which was known for producing hams. Harry George, another of Mary’s sons is next; later on, he became well-known for enjoying touring with his motorbike and sidecar. The final figure on the right is Tommy
Cartwright, a son of William Cartwright and Mary Finlay, who had come here in 1872. Mary Finlay was a daughter of an early HBC trader James Finlay, stationed in Nanaimo, and the pioneering couple raised a large family on their East Sooke farm. Getting to games was a challenge in itself in those days – there weren’t many touring cars around, and often travel was by footback or horse and buggy. Elida Peers, Historian, Sooke Region Museum

EDITORIAL CARTOON
Canadians, Eh? As Canadians, we are an intelligent, courteous and right-minded kind of folk. We are worldrenown for our willingness to help, our kindness and acceptance of other views, as well as other cultures. So why is it that when something does not agree with us - like the subject of Kinder Morgan - all that courtesy gets tossed aside in an instant, rage sets in and we haphazardly throw signs of protest up in the air - with minimal thought provided on what exactly we are screaming at. Is there a pipeline running through Vancouver Island? Is there an ominous Sooke-based oil platform going catchunk-a-tchunk out in the strait, endlessly pumping out the black fuel and clubbing our baby seals to death? No. There isn’t. But we like to be involved in the bigger picture or more so, involve ourselves. And in that process, we sometimes end up throwing our opinions against our supposed evil-doers with little regard to respect and common courtesy. Let us remind ourselves that we are better than this, and that we, the community, as well as our city council - have invited Kinder Morgan to come here and talk to us on April 7. So please. Drain out the molotovs and keep the pitchforks in the garden shed where they belong. No one wants this to be a slug-fest. Let’s have some respect and give them a chance to say what they have to say that night.

ANOTHER VIEW
Treaty trouble has deep roots Why did the B.C. government suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commission? The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for grievances nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2012 B.C. Liberal leadership contest. Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treaty-making. Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong. If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals Abbott and Kevin Falcon, she had an odd way of showing it. She appointed Falcon as finance minister to drive a stake into the harmonized sales tax, and Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the ever-hostile teachers’ union. Both completed their unlikely tasks and retired as heroes of the party in 2013. Outgoing chief treaty commissioner Sophie Pierre was as dismayed as anyone at the news of Abbott’s demise. While the two
were in transition meetings, Pierre learned that she was not being replaced, leaving the federal-provincial-First Nations Summit partnership of 22 years in a shambles. Clark went further when questioned by reporters about the sudden reversal. The future of aboriginal relations in B.C. may or may not include the B.C. Treaty Commission. “There have been some results, but four treaties in 22 years for $600 million is not enough result,” Clark said. “We have to be able to move faster, and we have to find a way to include more First Nations in the process.” That $600 million is mostly loans, from the federal government to First Nations to finance treaty talks. Of every $100 spent trying to honour the century-old duty to sign treaties across B.C., $80 is a loan from Ottawa, $12 is a grant from Ottawa and $8 is a grant from B.C. The plan was for First Nations to repay their loans out of cash settlements made to them for 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now accepted as being contrary to British and Canadian law. It was the blunt-spoken Pierre who first acknowledged this hasn’t worked. Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an
“exit strategy” that forgives debt. The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands. I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too. (McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clarkappointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.) Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.” Her advice may have been heard after all.

Kinder Morgan in town I’m writing to remind your readers that a delegation from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project will be addressing the District of Sooke’s Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, April 7 beginning at 7 p.m. There are approximately 75 seats in council chambers, and I anticipate a full house given the thousands of locals deeply concerned about the potential impacts of increased tanker traffic in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Get there early if you want a ringside seat! While the meeting’s format doesn’t allow the public to directly question Kinder Morgan’s representatives, we’re counting on our elected officials to ask some tough questions if and when they get the chance that night. We’d like to know if it’s true that the company’s legal responsibilities to the people of B.C. end the moment an oil tanker leaves the dock. Why should the people of Sooke trust Kinder Morgan when it has refused to answer hundreds of legitimate questions from interveners during the National Energy Board review? And does this Texasbased multi-national corporation recognize that it lacks “social license” to pursue the project when our First Nations and hundreds of thousands of residents have publicly challenged the constitutionality of the Trans Mountain review? Mayor Tait has acknowledged that she doesn’t know if the Kinder Morgan team will stick around on April 7 to hear public comments. Let’s hope they do. More than 70 percent of Sooke voters who cast a ballot on Nov. 15 indicated they were opposed to more
offshore tanker traffic. Now let’s reiterate our views in respectful fashion by packing council chambers next week, listening carefully, then speaking up in defence of our precious and priceless maritime environment.
Yes, it ‘s better to just leave it alone.
We barely have green space as it is, so let’s keep what we got.
I’m all for keeping it green and the way it is, but it would be interesting to see what you could put there as well.

Don’t complain about your own life choices Re: Could be worse, letter to editor, March 25, 2015 Issue. The loophole I see (with the story) is allowing fringe elements to come – or return – to Canada and think they have the right to all the services that those of us who have lived here all our lives have been taxed for. You left Canada for a “foreign” country to live a life, pursue a career, collect a pension all the while paying nothing into the system of the country you are now complaining about. You list costs for services here as a non resident. You also comment on being able to access all the wonderful medical services in America with no waits. Oddly enough you didn’t list the costs of being able to access these wonderful services in this foreign country. You also didn’t mention if you have the ability to attain medical coverage in this wonderful foreign country at a low monthly rate. Maybe you are not permitted to acquire medical insurance in this wonderful foreign country as you require too much service for monies paid. Take a number and go to the back of the bus. My wife and I require medical services too. We’ve paid our dues! Have a nice life in which ever country
you choose to live in and complain about. Bob Halliday Sooke
Clarification regarding Action Plan costing RE: Council Briefs in Wednesday, March 25, 2015 Issue. Contrary to the report under ‘Council briefs’ in the March 25 issue, Council did not vote to approve any funding to the Sooke Region Community Health Initiative (CHI) at that meeting. Council voted in favour of approving the Age Friendly Action Plan as submitted and give direction to Staff to have it published on the website so that we may proceed with the Application for Age Friendly Designation. In our presentation we spoke to the Action Plan which we had prepared on the District’s behalf. With the Service Agreement for $17,500 and the deliverables outlined therein, CHI was able to leverage the District’s initial investment to $66,350, or almost four times the return on investment. Yes, it included more work done by CHI on behalf of the District and our community, though the funds came from other sources (for example Island Health, the Union of BC Municipalities, and the South
Island Division of Family Practice). We were merely taking the opportunity to mention the $12,500 figure as it relates to the still to be finalized 2015 Service Agreement. We also wanted Council, based on our successes and the quality of work provided, to give due consideration to the Work Plan we have submitted for the 2016 term. The $12,500 figure represents a potential increase in this years’ Service Agreement and will align with additional work required. Service Agreements are not grants nor sponsorships. They are contracts to carry out work. I hope this clarifies things for everyone. Marlene Barry, CHI Member
Sooke Quilters Guild raffle Here are the lovely ladies of the Sooke Quilters Guild, sewing up a storm of quilts for Sooke Family Resource center and also for Hospice. A very good friend of mine was a recipient of one of their fine quilts last year, while under the care of hospice. She was so pleased with her quilt as she had never had a quilt of her own. She was so touched. These ladies are so dedicated and love their work. There is quite a bee-
hive of activity with sewing machines humming and the smell of fabric being ironed into place. These lovely ladies also make the Sooke Fall Fair Quilt and have so, for many years. Each year the Fall Fair holds a raffle with the Quilt always being the center of the focus with second and third and sometimes fourthplace prizes as well. This is the case this year. This year’s quilt has a value of between $2,000 and $3,000. It is not quite ready for its debut, but it is absolutely lovely. We hope to have the quilt at the Rotary for it’s debut and the tickets ready for sale. Whenever you see any of the Sooke Quilters’ quilts in the community, know that a lot of planning and care went into their creation. I grew up in a family of quilters and totally appreciate the work that goes into the creation of this lovely works of art. The Sooke Quilters work under the guidance of Pat Kryer and there is always room for more folks to join up and learn the art. They meet at the Knox Church, downstairs. See you at the raffle tables – which will be manned by our volunteers around Sooke. The monies from this raffle helps to keep our local fall fair in business. Ellen Lewers Sooke
I think they should do something similar to what they did at Ed Macgregor. Keep it as a green space but make it more pretty, add in more trails, make it more accessible. Cherri Tetreault Sooke

SOOKE NEWS NEWS MIRROR MIRROR -- WEDNESDAY, Wednesday, APRIL april 1, 1, 2015 2015 SOOKE
Sooke Harbour Players has been producing shows since 1982. These performances have varied from Disney to Gilbert and Sullivan to shows that have been written and produced by local talent. One concept in theater that has not been truly examined is the concept of Rock Opera. For the first time since 2006, this will be revisited with the production of The Who’s “Tommy” in November of this year. Marjorie Baskerville, artistic director and originator of the project, feels excited about having this performed in Sooke, and has wished to present this show for over three years. When asked about what will make this a different experience for theater enthusiasts, she was quick to respond, “Tommy is a specific format that most people know through the movie – it’s adaptation for Broadway allows for great flexibility in that we can make this as big or as small as we like, and we have options as to how we can tell the story. With a live band, the right cast and great visual effects, this will provide something different and enjoyable for all who attend.” When asked about the production, Marjorie beams with pride

Stephen Horak, an experienced musician from Victoria and a previous colleague of Marjorie’s, described the intentions for the actual arrangement, “The core rock ensemble will be as close in personality to the Townshend/Entwistle/Moon combo as possible, but structurally we’ll be working a lot closer to the Broadway cast recording”

Just Eat it theatrical poster. The film is tries to create awareness around the issue of food waste. all food grown and produced is never consumed. Interspersed with Jen and Grant’s eye-opening and entertaining adventures is information from farmers, retailers, inspiring food waste-saving organizations, experts in the field of food safety and food waste (such as Tristram Stuart and Jonathan Bloom who look at our obsession
with expiry dates and perfect produce) and consumers. The three post-screening speakers will talk for four or five minutes each and then will answer questions and hear ideas from the audience. Frederique Philip, coowner of Sooke Harbour House and Dave Patterson, produce manager at Western Foods will discuss how

Two days ago I walked the narrow, twisting alleyways of Jerusalem which make up the Via Dolorosa: paved with Reber Creative for BC Transit uneven ancient limestone blocks, up and down slopes and 250-385-5255staircases, dodging hand-pushed carts laden with supplies for the many stalls which open onto the street, with hawkers selling clothing, food, hardware, religious mementos, and endless tourist trinkets. We were a group of 17 pilgrims stopping and praying at the Stations of the Cross. Except for the pilgrim bit, it was not unlike this 2000 years ago. But you’d have to replace the groups of armed Israeli soldiers (mostly in their 20’s) with the occasional Roman soldier entourage coaxing a criminal or three carrying the crossbeam of a cross, headed to their execution on Skull Hill just outside the city wall. There’d be a momentary disruption of the din of bartering and chatter as the sad parade went by, but after a few curses of the Roman occupiers, the street would come back to life, marginalizing in the mind any thought of the suffering soon to be borne by the criminals. Have things changed much in 2000 years? Does the Christ who suffers as the homeless, cart-pushing through the din our our lives, or the mentally ill talking intensely to no one in particular, or the depressed person sleeping on a couch afraid to be seen--does the Christ of today soon evaporate from our consciousness, and suffer alone, ignored in the midst of our busyness? As often as you do it to one of these-- my brother or sister-- you do it to me.

The annual Farm and Film Gala co-presented by Sooke Food CHI and Awareness Film Night is coming up on Wednesday April 8th at Edward Milne Community School. The evening will feature the film Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story plus booths in the theatre foyer, fabulous gift basket giveaways, tea and goodies and speakers and discussion after the film. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m. for a chance to visit more than a dozen booths displaying local produce, seeds and products for sale and information on farming, gardening, managing waste and food security initiatives in our region. Sip some tea and munch a delectable dessert created by the EMCS Culinary Arts class (by donation) while you are chatting, browsing and stocking up. The film will start at 7:30 p.m.. Just Eat It has been screening at film festivals around the world this winter to rave reviews and now Awareness Film Night is bringing it to Sooke. In the film young Vancouver couple and filmmakers Jen and Grant, whom we met in January’s screening of The Clean Bin Project return with another no wasteproducing, no moneyspending vow: to only consume discarded food that is considered “waste” for six months. Did you say “yuck”? So did they when they first came up with the idea. And, yes, they did do some dumpster-diving. But you will be surprised at the caliber of food they lived on. In Canada we waste 1/4 of the food we buy, or $31 billion worth of food every year. And globally, one-third of

Son of Canadian guitar icon debuts solo album SOOKE SOOKE NEWS NEWS MIRROR MIRROR -- Wednesday, WEDNESDAY, april APRIL 1, 1, 2015 2015
www.sookenewsmirror.com www.sookenewsmirror.com

Scott Shea, son of Candian guitar icon Red Shea, finally has a solo album, and is sharing it with the people of Sooke at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church on April 18 at 9 p.m. (doors at 7). Tickets are $7 at the door. His father was Red Shea, the man who wielded the axe behind our seminal Canadian folk singers: Gordon Lightfoot and Ian and Sylvia. So it’s little wonder that Scott Shea’s debut album already sounds like the kind of stuff Canadian classics are made of. It’s literally in his DNA, and he’s coming to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church on April 18 to share it with our community.
The songs on Let it Storm, which releases next month, feel instantly familiar. Their combination of memorable hooks and rugged authenticity have been the hallmarks of Canadian radio mainstays for decades. It’s a stunninglycrafted, mature collection of numbers about maturity itself – specifically, about arriving at a place of contentment in life, learning to live with one’s “issues,” valuing close relationships with
loved ones and searching for spiritual meaning in life. From the title track – a triumphant celebration of hard-won self-acceptance – to the tear-inducing “When She Prays,” about Scott seeing his father in his daughter and the wistful “Beverly Lane,” with its clever turn of phrase about driving a woman “to the point where a woman walks away,” Scott takes listeners on an emotional
journey, his versatile voice delivering the rough-hewn lines of the title track as easily as it soars to mournful high notes on “Any Day Now.” The album was recorded in Austin, TX and produced by Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar. The almost orchestral arrangements feature keyboard by Willie Nelson’s sister, Bobbie Nelson, and drums from Nelson’s nephew, Freddie Fletcher. Scott wrote the album on the vintage Martin D-28 guitar that his father played on all the early Lightfoot recordings. It may come as a surprise to some to know that Red Shea played
almost no direct role in his son’s musical development. Scott’s early talent as a songwriter was recognized when a song he wrote as a teenager was featured on a compilation from the Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent on Recordings (FACTOR). As a young adult, he and his brother Brett partnered in the successful duo The Shaes and provided a song for the soundtrack of the film Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms. The pair also opened shows for Iris Dement, Blue Rodeo and Big Sugar, and released an album called Zero to One. Now, at last, Red Shea’s son has an album to call his own.
And it’s everything you’d expect from the offspring of Canadian folk royalty. The doors of the show at the Holy Trin-

Diane C. Nikkels (nee Mills) November 30, 1943 – March 9, 2015
It is with heavy, saddened Hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Beloved Mother Diane who passed peacefully in Victoria with her 3 children and “Loveâ€? Don Lencucha at her side. Predeceased by Loving parents, (Ted and Phyllis Mills) Diane was born and raised in hometown Victoria. Survived by daughters Candice (Marlin), Laurie (Clarke) and son Wade (Jeanette); 10 Grandchildren - Seanna (Darcy), Kirsten, Shayne, Cassady, Jaydon, Ricky, Jordan, Kylie, Dylan and Rachel; 1 Great-Grandchild Kohen and another on the way she also leaves behind 4 siblings, Carol (Hal), Gail (Peter), Pam (Steve) and Greg (Cindy) and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. There are so many words that describe the amazing and phenomenal woman that we have the privilege of calling our Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Wife, Auntie, Cousin, Friend and Acquaintance. The ďŹ rst word that comes to mind is Beauty. Everything about Mom was Beautiful, inside and out. She epitomized BEAUTIFUL. Loving, Kind, Compassionate, Seless, Talented, Creative, Funny, Gorgeous! She had Integrity, Style, Grace and Class!! Her dynamic, fun loving aura was undeniably contagious. We all Loved being in her presence, she gave so much of her beautiful self! Spending time with Family was pure joy in life! Always there when needed she just had that “Mom wayâ€? of knowing when the embrace of her loving arms and shoulder to cry on was exactly what was needed ‌ even before we might! If it meant canceling or rearranging her own plans to help, consider it done, “No big dealâ€? whether it be good bad or ugly. Her sincerity was tangible. She had such enthusiasm and got such joy from the simple things in life that made her happy; family events, homemaking, sewing, painting, building, ďŹ xing, sleepovers with her grandchildren. Mom and Don spent much of their time and took pride in beautifying their lovely home in Sooke. With the ocean steps away, they spent endless hours beachcombing, exploring and enjoying the great outdoors. They went on several camping road trips both with family and on their own with their “renovatedâ€? motor home. To know her was to Love her. Mom had many close friendships including some from her years of employment at both BC Hydro and the District of North Saanich. A true conďŹ dante and dear friend to so many, Mom was a true inspiration and adored by all who knew and Loved her. “We Love you so very, very much Mom and not a day will ever pass that we will not feel the huge void in our lives. We will miss your beautiful smile, your soothing voice, your laughter and all of your Love. You are our Heart and Soul and forever will beâ€?. To the VGH 6S Staff – We are so grateful for your compassion and the care given to our Mom and our family. We just can’t say enough – “Thank you from the bottom of our Heartsâ€?. In Lieu of owers, donations can be made to Canadian Cancer Society. A service at Hatley Park Memorial Gardens will be held April ???? A gathering of family and A private be held family friends on April 18th at 1:00 PM. friends willgathering follow at will the home of for Debbie andand Mike Hayden.... Address

Romance scams continue to cause social issues Have you been involved in a romance scam? Embarrassing? Yes. Uncommon? Not at all. It is a seemingly harmless approach; a brief introduction between strangers, likely initiated via Facebook if an online dating site. Communication begins. Frequency of messaging increases. Conversations are intense. Photos are shared. A relationship forms. And then — requests for money begin. “I’m desperate.” “It’s just this once.” “I promise. I will pay you back.” “I love you.” In reality, these ruses are deliberate, well-crafted money schemes embarked upon by savvy fraudsters in efforts to obtain as much money as possible from unsuspecting, and often lonely, adults. The careful cultivation of the relationship usually continues for months. Sometimes, the fraudster will reinforce the depth of his/
her feelings by sending bouquets of flowers or other token gifts. Often the fraudster will use illness as a ploy, either claiming he/she is sick or has a sick child. The fraudster may claim that medication or surgery is required but he/she lacks sufficient funds to cover the necessary expenses. Those same medical conditions may preclude him/her from traveling. However, regardless of the despair felt at not being able to travel, reassurances are made that if travel were at all possible the couple would most certainly be together, living happily. Victims, longing for love and emotional connection, become deeply attached to their fraudster and are completely unaware that the fraudster is simultaneously cultivating numerous other “relationships”. By the time the fraudster claims financial hardship and expresses sheer desperation for money,
www.sookenewsmirror.com www.sookenewsmirror.com
the innocent target has such a significant emotional investment in the relationship that he or she willingly and eagerly agrees. Due to the intensity of the ongoing perceived intimacy, and the gradual trust which has been built, the deception may involve several transactions, often totalling upwards of tens of thousands of dollars. In many cases those transactions far exceed the person’s means. Simply put, many victims cannot afford it. Worse yet, when confronted with reality, the victim often defends the fraudster’s character and refuses to accept that the relationship is an illusion. The embarrassment felt by every victim adds to the fraudster’s ability to deceive others, as victims are extremely reluctant to report their losses to law enforcement. “Although various dating and romance scams have been

around for years, they continue to cause financial and social issues for both women and men,” says Inspector Bruce Ward of RCMP Federal Serious and
Organized Crime. “The RCMP urges you not to send money to anyone you meet through an online forum. If you, or someone you know, have been a victim of
such a scam, please contact your local police.” RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime (FSOC) investigators are reminding the public to be aware of
these scams. For more information, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, or via email at: bcrcmp@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca
Capital Regional District Notice to Electors Within the Capital Regional District
4x11.75
Alternative Approval Process for CRD Bylaw 3981 - Authorizing the borrowing of $14,800,000 for acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Area Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Capital Regional District (“CRD”) proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 3981, “Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1, 2014 “ to authorize the borrowing of up to Fourteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,800,000) for the purpose of acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the western communities of the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Area.
CRD Bylaw 3918
Over the next five years the CRD will need up to $14,800,000 to meet the cash requirements necessary to fund investments in the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution system infrastructure. Borrowing will only occur after review and confirmation of the cash flow requirements and approval of the projects by the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Commission. The debt servicing costs will be recovered through the retail water rate. Take further notice that the CRD may proceed with Bylaw No. 3981 unless at least 5,561 electors within the CRD indicate by signing the elector response forms, that the Board must obtain the assent of the electors by way of referendum before proceeding to adopt Bylaw No. 3981. The elector response form must be in the form as established by the CRD and forms are available from the CRD on request. The only persons entitled to sign elector response forms are electors of the area to which the alternative approval process opportunity applies. The alternative approval process opportunity applies within the following municipalities of the CRD: Colwood, Highlands (that part within the RUCSPA set out in Bylaw No. 3820), Langford, Metchosin, Sooke and View Royal and a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (East Sooke participating area). The deadline for delivering the original signed elector response forms, in relation to Bylaw No. 3981, to the CRD is 4:00 pm on Monday, May 4, 2015. Forms must be received by the deadline to be counted. The CRD has estimated that the total number of electors within the service area is 55,614 and that 10% of that number or 5,561 electors must submit elector response forms to prevent the CRD from enacting Bylaw No. 3981 without the assent of the electors by referendum. Further technical information concerning Bylaw No. 3981 may be obtained from Ted Robbins, General Manager, Integrated Water Services, 479 Island Highway, Victoria, BC V9B 1H7 (Tel: 250.474.9604) during regular office hours Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from the date of this notice until May 4, 2015.

Soccer District Cup Finals: A Grand Finale Sooke had total of six teams this past weekend to compete at this year’s District Cup Finals - a new record for Sooke! Gold medals for the U14 and U16 girls and Silver for U13, U14, U16 boys and U17 girls. Saturday started off with the U16 girls playing Saanich; Sooke dominated the entire game and final score was 3-1 for Sooke. This team set the bar for the rest of the day.

Next up were the U14 boys who ended up losing 3-1 against Bays. This team has had a great season, won the Lisa cup, and so maybe the ol’ saying you can’t win em all proved to be true this time around. Great season boys. Coach Tim Satterford Manager Cherie Duncan U16 Silver boys played a tough game against Salt Spring in the District Cup final. Our Sooke boys came away with Silver in a very close game. The final score was 2-1 for Salt Spring. Sooke’s goal came from Taylor Cummings with Chris Berkeley assisting. Kudos to all the boys and a very special Thank you to our goalie Rylin Wilsher who played a stellar game and was named MVP. See you all next season! Coach Michelle U13 boys played Salt Spring next and after an exciting end to end battle, score was 2-2 and went into power kicks. Goals went in for Sooke and Saltspring, but Saltspring came out on top. Tough loss for a great team that fought hard til the bitter end. Coach Corey Stratten Last up and a very anticipated game all day were the U14 girls playing Saanich. We knew it was going to be a battle as we have tied this team or lost by one goal all season. The girls were pumped after many of them watched soccer all day. About midway through the first half, strikers Layla and Faith worked together in the box, Layla didn’t give in, and battled to get the ball in the net. Getting that first goal really helped

this team to keep their momentum and confidence. Halftime pep talk, heard “we can’t get cocky” about 15 times... Wildcats take the field with fierceness. Saanich had some good chances but they had a hard time beating our awesome defensive line of Georgia, Makenna, Sky, Ciara and Shae. Not to mention our goal keeper Ella who earned her MVP status hands down. Midfielders Grace and Chalmers on the wings with Alex in the middle were strong and were key to our passing possession plays. Hannah, Sarah and Emma, and Addison all played with intensity. Next goal to go in was by Chalmers flying down the wing and bang! fires a rocket that went through the goal keeper’s hands. We were ecstatic – but we still couldn’t get cocky. Saanich managed to get a goal soon after and it became even more intense as they wanted to tie it bad. But Sooke never stopped and we pulled Layla back to defense to stave them off. When Faith got a 1v1 opportunity and beat the defender to fire a bullet of a shot into the back of the net, Sooke was up 3-1 late in the second half we knew we had it. We kept our cool and only got cocky after the final whistle blew. This team played their hearts out and deserved to win that Gold medal so bad! Couldn’t be more proud and can’t wait for next year! Coaches Laura Lockhart and Dave Peters, Manager Lisa Knoles The Sooke Autobots U17 girls played in the finals on Sunday on Fred Milne park, against U18 Peninsula Falcons, field conditions were not ideal, but the Autobots were hot, all eleven players stepped up to the plate, played 90 minutes of hard soccer, missing three players from their roster due to injuries. Defenders Kiomi Yates, Sydney Drysdale, Katija Pallot, Racheal Wiebe were all working hard together as a unit, they did not give up a corner kick until the second half. Mid-fielders Chloe Mitchell, Riley McLean, Hailey Bryant, Jaime Lafontaine transitioned well, applying pressure to the other team. Cont’d on page 33.

Slo-Pitch looking for new players Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror
April is already here, bringing with it the reminder that it’s going to get a whole lot greener and warmer. That means Sooke’s slow pitch season among others - is returning to the field once again. Slo-Pitch season starts on April 25 with its signature “icebreaker” tournaments - a warm-up period for players before they move on to bigger, games. The sport then runs until the August long weekend, with its last tournament of the year, called the Sooke Invitational. Like other sports, there’s an A and B league, and there are 24 games their cycle throughout the slow pitch season, as well as two tournaments. But as much as everyone is excited to get back to the diamonds this SloPitch season, Jason Dumont, president of Sooke’s Slow Pitch Association says the number of teams for this year. “We used to have 22 teams at one point, with the highest peak being around 2002; now we’re down to 11 right now,” Dumont said. “Would be nice to get at least another team to bring it to 12 even.” Dumont says part of the reason the club’s player output has decreased is that a lot of people don’t even know there’s a slow pitch club right here in Sooke and in need of players. “I want to get the word out that there is a slow pitch here in Sooke, you don’t have to drive back and forth to Victoria for that,” he said.
“People who come to Sooke don’t know who to contact, or how to start their own team; but it’s actually quite accessible for everybody.” Criteria to join is simple. If you’re turning 19, got a fastball glove, a hat and a pair of cleats, you’re good to go. The club also supplies its own equipment, including 12 bats for people to use as well as their own bases at the field. Dumont noted that a in lot of teams in Victoria, you have you bring your own base. The Slo-Pitch club plays down at Fred Milne park and at the diamond behind the SEAPARC arena. It’s also comprised of a six and four league; six guys, four girls. And best part is, everybody plays. “In our league, you can bat everybody, which makes the game a lot more fun,” Dumont said. Though there’s more to slow pitch - and don’t let the name fool you if anything, slow pitch stands on a league of its own. “It’s also co-ed, which makes it a lot more social. Playing slow pitch hones your defensive skills as well, especially if you’re considering to play fastball afterward,” he said. Cost? Price per team is $16.50, per person is about $100 for the season. Dumont says those fees helps the club pay for its lawn mowing services and its umpires. He noted that the club is also looking for umpires which make $35 a game. Last day of registration April 15. Those who would like to join should contact Jason Dumont at 250-7448852. You can also follow them on Twitter at @SookeSloPitch.
