route. That however, plays a stark contrast to the federal government’s recent decision to cut three of the five Canadian Coast Guard’s marine communication centres on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. A recent bunker oil spill in Vancouver harbour, showed the dangers - and slow response time - in the event of a wide-area oil spill. Another speaker, Ralph Hull, brought back the 1989 Exxon Valdez guffaw into light. “You seem like a nice guy, but you represent an industry that is horribly disastrous to all of us mariners and the people on the West Coast here,” Hall said. “It’s an industry that’s not environmentally friendly, or people friendly, that’s why we are concerned and want to keep a thumb on you guys.” Kinder Morgan is named after company chairman and CEO Richard Kinder, an American businessman and former U.S. Army captain, and William Morgan. The partnership goes back to their executive positions at Enron. The entire meeting can be viewed online at sooke.ca video archives.

respond,” Philip said. “I can’t understand how the people in the tourism crowd, fisheries, First Nations, could withstand a devastating oil spill in the area. We already had a referendum and the people of Sooke spoke out and I hope our council will stand by the resounding rejection to increase tanker traffic down the Strait.” Davies however, refuted the response, adding that the recovery procedure in the event of a storm wouldn’t change. “It’s like any other recovery activity; if it’s not safe for the people out there responding, then they won’t be on the water,” he said. “It won’t stop the response completely, but bad weather would hamper their ability to collect oil in the water.” The ships carrying crude feature double bottom hulls, modern instrumentation, as well as current GPS monitoring technology. “There’s been a lot of changes in technology since Captain Cook was here,” jested Davies. Davies pointed out that a six-hour response time plan would require about 100 new jobs, $100 million in new capital for spill response and five new spill response bases along the tanker

AIP signed by local First Nations bands Te’mexw Member First Nations, Canada and British Columbia sign Agreementin-Principle
Five Vancouver Island First Nations, and the governments of B.C. and Canada reached a major reconciliation milestone in the B.C. treaty process with the signing of the Agreement-in-Principle. Mark Strahl, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, the Honourable John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and Chief Ron Sam, Songhees First Nation, Chief Russ Chipps, Beecher Bay First Nation, Chief Gordon Planes, T’Souke First Nation, Chief Michael Harry, Malahat First Nation, and Chief David Bob, SnawNaw-As (Nanoose) First Nation, signed the Agreement-in-Principle. The Te’mexw Treaty Association Agreementin-Principle includes provisions for approximately 1,565 hectares of Crown land and transfers of approximately $142 million including a land fund for the 5 First Nations once Final Agreements are reached. The Agreement-inPrinciple contains 27 chapters covering issues including governance, taxation and lands. Processes for transition from the Indian Act to self-government are also set out in the Agreementin-Principle. Incremental Treaty Agreements signed

The second stage of these agreements will provide for the transfer of more lands to some of the Te’mexw Member First Nations as soon as possible after completing the Agreement-in-Principle. Incremental Treaty Agreements allow First Nations to enjoy economic benefits in advance of a Final Agreement. Ultimately, treaties provide First Nations with a comprehensive set of tools for self-government and participating in the economy, which in turn provides
security and certainty on the land for all Canadians. Chief Gordon Planes, T’Sou-ke First Nation “Our ancestors committed themselves to protecting our way of life and building an even better future for our people when they made the first treaties with the Crown in the 1850’s.

Remembering Vern Moore: Veteran and Volunteer
Vern Moore, 1922 – 2015 It was in 1972 that Vern Moore headed west, bringing his wife Martha and children Terrie, Jim and Bill, to explore new territories, at the close of his 27 year career with the Canadian Armed Forces. Leaving from Beaver Lodge, Alberta, the family arrived in Sooke in what Martha described as a “beater” car and travel trailer. When the Moores arrived - they saw, they liked, and they stayed! At age 20, from his family’s home in Quebec, Vern had joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, training as an airframe technician. In 1944 he was shipped overseas to serve in the European theatre. Sent at first to bases in England and Wales, he then served in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Back home in Canada after his discharge in late 1945, he was employed by Canada Post in Toronto, until 1949, when he decided
to re-join the Air Force. After some time in France, he was posted back to Canada, to North Bay, Ontario. It was when he was next posted to Cold Lake, Alberta, in 1957, that the veteran serviceman met Martha Day. A quiet-natured man, very gentlemanly in demeanor, Vern was instantly attracted to the effervescent and loquacious young member of the RCAF’s Women’s Division. After their 1958 marriage the couple made their home in the base’s married quarters at Cold Lake, where their first two children were born. Youngest son Bill has Quebec as his birthplace, however, as he was born when the family was on one of two Quebec postings. Arriving here in 1972, the couple settled on Throup Road, where they built their home. Vern also began his many years of commuting to his work with the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, where he was posted to the Rocky Point Munitions Depot. Embracing the community spirit they found in Sooke, the couple embarked on their mission, bringing their zest for living and contributing, and added their efforts to the activities of the community. The couple’s eldest, daughter Terrie, went right into Edward Milne Secondary School, while her brothers attended Sooke Elementary and then went
on to Edward Milne. Becoming a member of Knox Presbyterian Church, Vern took an interest in the history of the church and also kept the records of the church’s pioneer burial ground. In 1977 he joined the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #54, where he was appointed Sergeant-at-Arms. He has been elected to the executive, and been in charge of a series of committees, including the Bursary and Scholarship Committee, the Poppy Campaign, and has taken part in countless parades and colour parties. In fact, when you think of Vern, you usually think “Legion.” Vern was a dedicated volunteer as well for the Sooke Fine Art Shows organized by the Sooke Region Museum for two decades, did volunteer work for the museum itself, helped the Sooke Community Association with mini logger sports convention evenings, and was a faithful supporter of All Sooke Day, where he
kept busy sharpening his coffee-making skills. Because Martha had devoted so much effort herself to the Sooke Fall Fair, it was not unexpected that Vern would assist with those efforts as well, and for a decade he took on convening of the photo section of the fair. One of Vern’s biggest joys was his membership in the Sooke Community Choir, where he contributed his bass notes for 25 years. In fact, not long ago, as Vern was reclining with the aid of his oxygen tank in their suite at the Sandpiper, where he and Martha had moved in their retirement, he had the special pleasure of a visit from the choir, who had come to serenade him. Besides his wife Martha, Vern leaves his daughter Terrie (Steve Shortt), sons Jim and Bill, his grandsons Garrett Poirier and Kyle Poirier (Samantha), granddaughter Sydnee Ogden-Moore, and great-grandson Kallen Poirier.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #54 is hosting a celebration of Vern’s life at their hall on Eustace Road at 1 p.m. Sunday April 26. Elida Peers, Historian Sooke Region Museum

OUR VIEW
EDITORIAL CARTOON
Where’s your sense of humour? What is a sense of humour? What makes people laugh and why? People who take themselves so seriously that they cannot laugh at themselves tend to become one-sided and narrow in their views. Seeing the irony in situations is the humourist’s shtick, whether it is by writing or by drawing. A good wit is often in response to a hopeless situation. Think Monty Python, where everything was fodder for a laugh. We laugh at that type of humour because it seems a bit removed from our lives and the delivery is funny. Comedians play no favourites and life is food for their routines. For example, cartoons are meant to garner a chuckle, make one laugh at the foibles of us alltoo-serious humans. People get upset when the humour gets a little too close to the truth. It’s time to lighten up a little and laugh at ourselves and not be so hard-nosed that we can’t get the fun out of life. Life is hard and serious enough and a good laugh is a prescription for relieving tension. Just because someone pokes fun at a situation/person/ event, it doesn’t mean that anyone, especially the paper it is printed in, is taking sides. Political cartoons are a way for artists to express their thoughts about current events in a comical manner. They look at the news sideways and bring out the absurd in it. Let’s face it, we don’t all have the same sense of humour. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? Let’s lighten up, enjoy a sense of ha ha and not take life so seriously that we forget to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. It does not mean that we shouldn’t be serious about our causes, it just means we need a good chuckle now and then, and sometimes it’s about ourselves. It relieves the tension.

ANOTHER VIEW
Treaty cash cow may dry up B.C. VIEWS The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and Snaw-NawAs (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another fivemember Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is. These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyford’s report last month. The Te’mexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyford’s
observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved. These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. It’s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination. In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a “conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations” and “sharp divisions” between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found. This is what has come to be known as the “aboriginal industry,” where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. For some aboriginal participants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had. Indeed, a common feature of the province’s dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them. This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.’s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s. These treaties around Fort Victo-
ria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular. Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

We asked: What would you do in the event of an earthquake in Sooke?
First reaction would be get the kids, make sure they’re safe.
I would find my kids, my husband, my dog, make sure they’re all okay and safe.

letters
Cartoon offends First of all I would like to thank Kinder Morgan for making its presentation to Sooke council, and answering questions about the increased tanker traffic through the Strait. Last week (April 1) in your editorial you suggested those who would show up to the meeting would not be the polite Canadians we are famous for. You were certain, even a week before the meeting, that the people of Sooke would show up in mass and simply rage at Kinder Morgan and not allow them to state their case before the council. While you are correct in being confused as to why Kinder Morgan would come to Sooke, considering the pipeline and their legal responsibility ends on the mainland, it was logical that Sooke residents should be concerned about Kinder Morgan, as everyone who lives in Sooke sees those tankers traveling past Sooke on their way to foreign markets. I was there on April 7 for the Kinder Morgan presentation as a concerned citizen who wanted to know what the corporation’s representatives would say, as a ship-sourced oil spill could have a disastrous impact on the community. There were also a number of like-minded people there. There were no banners being raised at the meeting, no one brought any. I
I’d stay inside where it’s safe and wait for the shaking to stop.
am pretty sure I didn’t see any pitchforks, or torches, as you suggested in this week’s cartoon. We listened attentively to the entire presentation and did not interrupt. When it came to question/comment time the questions were for the most part respectful and while there was some applause, it often came after someone made what others felt was a valid point. The representatives were not interrupted either. You said Canadians are an intelligent bunch and I agree. To be intelligent is to ask questions, to not take information at face value, and I cannot imagine many people would appreciate being patted on the head and sent to the corner because their opinions differ from yours. The threat is very real as I am watching the news of a large oilslick spreading through the middle of Vancouver that is neither pipeline based nor from an oil platform. Clearly your paper does not think highly of your own neighbours who you have insulted with your recent editorial. Katie Armitage Sooke
Always be
prepared
Your headline story in the Sooke News Mir-
ror on March 18 regarding the “nightmare” experience faced by the DeRoccos during their vacation in Mexico deserves some additional comments. Whenever hospitalization is required anywhere outside Canada, it is standard procedure to present any hospital with a valid credit card as a form of guarantee that services provided will be paid for. The next step is to immediately contact your insurance company back home, who, after verification of your policy, will contact said hospital confirming that payment will be forthcoming. All major reputable Canadian insurance companies provide their policy holders with a 1-800 number for assistance on a 24-hour basis, plus a direct line accepting collect calls. The couple failed to mention the name of their insurance company who supposedly left them with phone numbers that were, “unreachable and the service unacceptable.” If so, it would be interesting to hear from the unnamed insurance company to get their side of the story. The couple purchased an all-inclusive vacation package with a charter airline. Remember the term charter. Their seats are pre-sold as part of that package. Changing the return date could result
in denied boarding of two other vacationers booked on that very same return flight. Reason why changes in reservation are not permitted. When booked on a charter you use it or lose it. That’s a pre-condition. So, don’t blame Air Transat for their refusal to rebook you on a different return. WestJet on the other hand is a scheduled airline operation and has the flexibility to accommodate changes if needed. At a price of course. Again, travel insurance covers that aspect in case of a genuine emergency. When traveling abroad, be well informed and prepared before leaving. It can save you a lot of unexpected frustration. Ed J.M. Broekman Sooke
Illegal dumping is ignorant I am writing to you due to the illegal dumping happening in Sooke. The amount of dumping that is happening at the moment is getting out of hand. We live in a beautiful town with incredible landscape and we should take care of it. Coming from someone who loves the outdoors and nature it saddens me to see old mattresses, trailers, and construction scraps on
the side of the road. I am in the environmental studies program at Edward Milne. My class has been involved in the cleanup of two illegal dumping sites of Muir Creek and Butler Main however, I am frustrated as

letters Hosting Japanese students in Sooke
Wednesday, APRIL april 15, 2015 - SOOKE NEWS MIRROR WEDNESDAY,
www.sookenewsmirror.com
Cont’d from page 11 our efforts do not seem to be enough considering the many other ugly dumping sites. People need to be more aware of the effect of dumping in the environment. Pollutants can run into nearby creeks, affecting water habitat, animals can become accustomed to garbage as a second food. If people are more cautious to where they leave their garbage we could minimize the amount of dumping happening in our town. We want to keep our town looking beautiful for many more generations to come. Kayla Harvey Sooke
Seeking witnesses Thank you again to the nice couple for making the effort to notify me of the vehicle that crashed into my blue truck while parked at the Home Hardware parking lot during the Easter long weekend. Since we last spoke I actually decided to go ahead with an ICBC claim and unfortunately, the culprit is denying responsibility. If you read this, it would be a great help if you could contact me at (250) 380-8857 so you can act as an eye witness to the incident. Trevor Paul Sooke
Part of the probem Last evening I attended the Kinder Morgan presentation in the Sooke District council chambers. In an effort to appease those that are concerned with the increased marine traffic proposed, there was an at length talk with and overhead projection of enhanced safety and cleanup plans on hand. Brushed over lightly was that there is a great deal of money involved, hundreds of millions, perhaps thousands of millions of dollars, so much so that both the federal and provincial governments departments of environments are willing to approve this venture for a minuscule percentage of the pie. The proposal
would move oil and gas from Alberta out into the Pacific Rim market. (please get out of the way). Personally, I believe this would not be in the best interest of most, certainly not that of our children and theirs. The global oil industry is developing production capacity that will each 110.6 million barrels per day by 2020. (Harvard analysis). Unless we start using less, our demand will reach 94.6 million barrels per day at the same date. This is in line with a 6 degree Celsius average raise in global temperature. Massive Climate Change and irreparable damage to the planet (International Energy Agency). In the news, on the TV, about us in our everyday life it has become impossible to be unaware of atmospheric and physical changes taking place about us. We are witness to the consequences from the current rise of less than one degree. I do not see recognition of these facts in the Kinder Morgan proposal, I see them as a deliberate part of the growing problem rather than that of a solution. Barry Whiting
Adventures with Japanese exchange students
Imagine this: a gym filled with eagerly waiting school children. Chatter fills the room. Then the doors open, and in walk the amazing exchange students for the first time. Kids hold their breath in anticipation, as music starts to play. The exchange students gracefully show off their dancing skills for us all, completing the moment. This was the scene in which we got a full first glimpse of the exchange students who would be in our halls for a few days. The exchange program from Natori, Japan, and Sooke started at first as just a friendship between two cities in different continents. As the friendship progressed, it turned into an exchange between the cities. From 2001 the exchange was going strong, until the great east Japan earthquake and tsunami. This brought the exchange to a halt, and devastated many of our friends in Japan, for they were in the
area that the tsunami hit. Canada helped with the rebuild of the destroyed area, by sending enough lumber to make three brand new buildings. The first is the Donguri Anne Public Library, with about 2,500 books inside. The second building is the Port Market, where seafood from the local ocean is sold. The last, but not least, building that we donated was the Maple Hall, which sells food, local produce, and, of course, Canadian maple syrup. We started our exchange program again last year, where some students went to Japan and had a great time. This year we were lucky to have 22 students from Japan join us in our halls and homes. I even got to host two of them! We had a blast! On our first day, Friday the 27th, we had a pizza party for all the exchange students and their hosts, and we ended the school day with an assembly, where the exchange students put on quite the show! After that we took our exchange students home with us for the start to an amazing week. On Saturday we all met up at French
Every Japanese student went home with a little Canadian package full of all sorts of stuff. We went home lighthearted, and with a full stomach. The next day was pretty sad however, the Japanese students were leaving. Even though we had spent such a short time together, it already felt like they were family. As they filed into the bus, forlorn looks on their faces, we still held strong and bowed to them as their bus left. I have a little book that they gave me, with pictures of their lives, so I always have something of them, and that is something I will hold on to for a long time. The one thing I learned while they were here though, was that you always make a peace sign with your fingers as they are taking a picture! From Journey Middle School, Mia Tanner
up and went to school, from where we left to walk to the Sooke Museum. After a tour that the hosts gave, outside we played an exciting game of Ninja. From the museum we went to EMCS and walked around for a bit, they were very impressed by the whale skeleton. We then took a bus to the fire hall, where we got a tour and a lunch from the Mayor, Maja Tait. We did an exchange of gifts, and all the students got a Sooke pin. We walked back to school and we did our last two blocks of the day. For me it was sewing and science, and went home at a regular home time. Tuesday was a bit more exciting, because we went into Victoria. We first went to an IMAX, and then we went on an whale watching tour. After we walked around Victoria a little, and then caught the bus home. For dinner we went to a potluck, where there was a performance by the Japanese students, and a slide show on our time together.
Beach and had a fun scavenger hunt on all the things you would find in a typical Canadian beach. After, we all went to Mrs. Szadkowski’s place for lunch. We ate hot dogs as well as marshmallows. Afterward we fed some horses, and kissed some cows! It all came to a very wet end where all us hosts decided to go swimming in Mrs. Szadkowski’s pond! We all went home feeling pretty tired, but everyone had a great time! On Sunday, we had a day to ourselves with our exchange students. I took my exchange student to the Shaw Ocean Discovery centre, and they had lots of fun petting the sea animals! After, I took them out for a late lunch, which was poutine of course, and went shopping! They loved going in and seeing all the Canadian shops. We then went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner, and after we got to see the Parliament buildings light up!.We got home late and exhausted, but all in all a good day! On Monday, we got

also means a huge time commitment. Rehearsals will begin in September and continue three days a week until the November performances. “Be prepared to do a lot of work,” said Scheubel, “but you’re going to be part of a great show.” The audition pieces have been pre-selected for each of the cast members. The lead role of Tommy will need a singer (tenor) aged 16 to 25, his audition piece will be “Sensation.” Cast members will range in age from 12 to 50, so there are roles for everyone. Not comfortable in front of the spotlights? There are numerous roles for those who might want to play a backstage role. The Sooke Harbour Players are seeking volunteers for all aspects of the theatre production including, costumes, front of house, makeup, technicians, etc. “We’d like people who work backstage to commit to as many performances as possible - to be part of the production without being on stage,” said Scheu-
JAC KLIN R
The Rock Opera Tommy, which was first performed by The Who in 1969, was originally conceived by Pete Townshend and Kit Lambert with contributions to the development by John Entwhistle, Keith Moon and Roger Daltrey. It’s the story of a young boy’s triumph after a journey of pain, abuse and sadistic relatives and neighbours. Tommy becomes deaf, dumb and blind after witnessing a murder and remains in that catatonic state until he discovers pinball. He becomes a pinball wizard and fame and super-stardom follow. It’s a tale of loss and discovery, pain and pleasure. The songs are recognizable to most anyone who has listened to The Who. Now those songs and the rock opera will be coming to Sooke. Sooke Harbour Players is holding auditions in early May to find cast members and musicians. “There is a cast of 25 including the lead role of Tommy,” said producer Joe Scheubel.

Sooke Fall Fair getting a head start on annual event It’s really hard to believe we are into the month of April, we are busily putting the Sooke Fall Fair Catalogue together for another successful fair. We have added a few new categories in Needlecraft this year. Knitting has really taken off this year, and so many interesting patterns and styles are available. There are knitting magazines on the news stands and super selections online to print off. I am in a Teddy Bear mode just now. I have knit several, certainly a well received gift for a new baby or a youngster’s birthday gift. The pattern is easy to follow and fun to knit in different colors, and interesting in the new variegated wools available. So watch for the Teddy Bear category, in both Adult & Senior sections. Another good idea is repurposing(recycling) household goods. Sometimes you find an old tablecloth that is worn but the embroidery is still intact. Maybe a family member worked on it many years ago. The embroidered portion could be cut out and gain new life on a set of place mats, or pillowcases for example. There is a category for this, so let your imagination soar. Let’s show the viewing public “What Sooke Does.” We will also have categories in both Adult & Seniors sections for “Quilts of Valour.” These quilts are to show our appreciation, support and encouragement to the men and women in the military, who have put their lives at risk. The quilts entered in these categories will be donated to the “Quilt of Valour” program and distributed to those in need of cheering up. The Royal Canadian Legion, #54 is sponsoring these categories. For further information please phone June @ 250-642-2032. See you at the Sooke Fall Fair, Sept. 12 and 13.

DEATHS
DEATHS
Roberts, Marion Phoebe Sadly we say goodbye to our mother, wife and nana – Marion Phoebe Roberts (Mamie to many), who passed away suddenly on Monday, April 6, 2015. Born in Nanaimo on May 2, 1921, Marion moved to a small Alberta farm when she married Don (Dec 1943). They moved back to the Sooke District in 1948 where they raised four daughters and were active members of the community for over 50 years. They moved to Colwood in 2001. To quote Don, “She was a good wifeâ€? for over 71 years. Mom lived her life with passion, vitality, and curiosity. A poster child for continuous learning, she never considered age a barrier. Her life was a testament to her philosophy that if you wanted something badly enough you could make it happen. She became a swimming instructor at 42, had her last baby at 45, and accomplished a life goal to graduate from high school at 68 (EMSS). Marion never looked to others to ďŹ ll her time and she was never bored in her own company. One of the dear loves of her life was square dancing with Don. Avid square dancers for over 50 years they knew most square dance halls on the Island intimately – and many others across the US and Canada – thus combined two loves, travel and dancing. Mom will be lovingly remembered by her husband Donald Roberts, daughters Lynn Allaire (Michel), Shari Walker (George), Ardis Myette (Larry) and Paula Barclay; 12 grandchildren and nearly 20 greatgrandchildren who will continue to celebrate her legacy. To those of us who loved her she was a joy, a challenge and a role model of a strong and courageous woman. Mom, you will be deeply missed – we wish you peace and joy as you organize heaven and get things under control until we can be together again! A celebration of Mamie’s life will be held at the Colwood Community Hall, 2219 Sooke Road on Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm. In lieu of owers, mom’s request was for donations to go to the Humane Society, the Children’s Hospital, or Santa’s Anonymous.

maybe medlars), a family of trees that offer up a bounty of delicious fruit every fall. When it comes to planting fruit trees in this area, apples are generally the first choice. Pears are a typical second choice, while quinces, which used to be extremely popular throughout Canada, find themselves largely forgotten. As for medlars … well, I can count on two fingers the number of people I know who grow them, and one of them is Bob Duncan! The trend toward growing food at home is definitely on the upswing, and various reasons are cited: high retail prices in stores, a desire to
Bob Duncan is paying a return visit to the Sooke Garden Club, and that can mean only one thing: another eyeopening presentation about growing fruit trees. This time the focus in on apples, pears, and quinces (and
eat locally grown produce, the ability to control pesticide/herbicide use in food, access to more and preferred varieties, and a wish to be more connected to the land. Seasoned gardeners, however, would likely argue that the absolute best reason to grow your own food is taste: Home-grown fruits and vegetables simply taste so much better than their industrially grown counterparts. But while home food gardening is increasing, the size of home gardens is decreasing. Seed producers and plant breeders are working hard to respond to (sub) urbanites’ desire to grow
food. Fortunately, when it comes to fruit, the availability of good dwarf rootstock means that even small yards, decks, and patios/ balconies can accommodate trees and bushes that yield full-size fruit. Knowing what tree to choose for particular situations – and precisely how to grow it – is Bob Duncan’s forte. Along with wife Verna, Bob owns and runs Fruit Trees and More, a nursery and demonstration orchard in North Saanich. A trained botanist and entomologist with 40+ years’ experience growing fruit trees on Vancouver Island, he currently has over 400 varieties under
cultivation on his small property. Some 200 of these are dwarf apples, his specialty, but he is equally recognized for his success in cultivating citrus and hardy sub-tropicals. Bob will share his knowledge about and experiences with growing apples, pears and quinces. He will pay particular attention to variety selections and to these trees’ cultural requirements. He may even introduce you to medlars. Join us Wednesday, April 22, 7 p.m., at St. Rose of Lima Church on Townsend Road. New members welcome. Annual fee: $15; guests: $5. It’s also a par-

PeeWee Seahawks start season with tough fought contest The Sooke PeeWee Seahawks started their tackle football league season with a suspense filled thriller that came down to the final plays. Unfortunately the visiting Cowichan Bulldogs scored a late touchdown for a 7-0 triumph April 11 at Westhills Stadium in Langford. Many of the Seahawks were playing in their first ever game. Riley Berfelo stood out with a couple good runs, including one where he broke numerous tackles before busting loose for Sooke’s longest play of the day. He also made a touchdown-saving tackle in the second half with the score tied 0-0. Another first-year player, Dane Pfieffer, ran hard, often making positive yards where none existed. Blocking for their fellow rookies were offensive linemen Kingston Foster, Dawson Reid, Nathan Knight, and Paul Matson. All four played key roles on a defensive line that controlled the Cowichan offence most of the game. And if the Bulldogs managed to get the ball outside,
victory! Owen “Roadrunner“ Cheng played receiver! LaMontagne and Logan also played defense as well with numerous tackles. Logan continued his steak stripping the football from the offense that is. It was whistled dead but in our minds
he stole the ball. Carrier snapped for five converts and one field goal. All in all, great first game with our new team and lots of praise from head coach Ian Jules! Next game Saanich! The Seahawks go for win number one Sun-
day, April 19 against the Peninsula Wildcats. Registration is still open for boys and girls in grades two through six. Visit www.sookeseahawks.com for more information. Nathan Lowther, Coach

Sooke Seahawks facing off on the field against the Cowichan Bulldogs. Simon Eskildsen, Reid Gerhardts and Quinn Threlfall were there to chase them down. Quinn contributed to the offence as well, with a couple hard runs. Returning players also made big plays. Hunter Swift had some nice runs and solid tackles. Quarterbacks Brody Reinsch and Connor Keys fought hard in the face of constant pressure, while James Mullen recovered a fumble, had a nice carry, and blocked hard. Anton
Tucker played his first game at centre and also had a nice punt return on a short kick. Tight End Avan Wickheim and WR William Daoust blocked hard for their teammates in an early-season game that didn’t include much passing. Wickheim stood out defensively with numerous tackles-for-losses, as did Westley CornwallJohnsen. With the Junior Bantam Sooke Seahawk team folding because of insufficient players, six
Sooke boys along with coach Andy are now playing with Westshore Warriors, who on this day trounced the toothless Cowichan Bulldogs 44-12. With Caleb “Machine” Carrier firing accurate bullet like snaps, Jacob “Pancake“ LaMontagne flattening defensive lineman, Spencer “Tank” Logan blasting his way and beginner Acoya ”The Wall” Williams stomping all his opponents this “fantastic four” helped lead their new team to

The new Sooke peewee baseball team, Triangle Sooke, took to the field for their first away game on Thursday evening against their Juan de Fuca counterparts. The team is coached by Andy Piatkowski, managed by Mike Hicks and sponsored by Sooke Home Hardware. The historic first game started with Tait Bishop ripping a drive into left field. This was followed with great hits and fielding from infielders Chris Piatkowski, Beau Hicks, Connor North, and Tyler Fogerty. Outfielders Tyson Wilkinson, James Lewers, Josh Heslop and Malcolm Issac were kept busy keeping the powerful JDF sluggers to one base hits. They needed all their fielding and throwing skills to keep the score close. Pitchers Connor (Shark) Bainbridge, Owen Phipps and Storm Spackman where spectular in their first performance drawing constant cheers from the Sooke fans. After four innings, the Juan de Fuca team emerged the victor. The Sooke peewees were grinning from ear to ear knowing they had given their best, they had almost too much fun and are now part of an 18 team league. The first Sooke home games will be played on Fred Milne # 3 field, Saturday April 18. The Sooke Mosquito team will play at 11 a.m. and the Sooke Peewees will play at 2 p.m. Mayor Maja Tait will be throwing out the first pitch to celebrate the new U13 and U11 Sooke franchise teams of the Triangle Athletic Association at 2 p.m. on the same day.

Unfortunately the final score was 13-4 for Triangle, but a very good job for these kids, most of them new to hardball. The picture is the first pitch for Sooke thrown by Connor “Shark” Bainbridge.

If you think about, it’s a remarkable claim that Jesus made. Everyone has inner thirsts. And Jesus said he could satisfy them all. Similar to his claim that he was the bread of life that satisfies our inner hunger, this claim made by Jesus that he can satisfy our inner thirst, is a claim that can be tested. Can Jesus satisfy your inner thirst? Come to me and drink, he said, and you’ll find out.

Fishing Adventures April chinook salmon and halibut fishing in Sooke has been on fire. Unsettled weather has slowed down some fishers, but those that don’t mind some wind and rain are being rewarded with good chances and catches. Both salmon and halibut action have increased since the beginning of April, when we began to also see more bait (herring) on the bottom and in fishes mouths and stomachs as they are cleaned back at the dock. The salmon have been schooling up to feed on herring just west of Otter Point on the ebbing (outgoing) tide, and at the Otter Point reef during the flood or incoming tide. We have also been finding them at the Sooke harbour mouth and on the troll to the trailer park, down deep, 120 to 140 ft on the downriggers. Favorite lures and baits include; anchovy or herring trolled in brightly colored glow teaser heads. Many trollers are starting to move the gear a few feet further back from the release clip as we get closer to big spring salmon season, this will slow the presentation down slightly to attract the “big lunkers”. Many of these current fish are larger 10 to 15 lb hatchery chinooks which have no maximum size restriction, meaning they are great for taking home for the table and freezer. Halibut fishing continues to be good, but has also been getting much better. Spots closer to the Sooke Harbour mouth have recently been seeing more action. Herring is the standard go-to bait, but many fishers report landing halibut on octopus, mackerel, and salmon bellies. The Neah Bay Strait of Juan de Fuca fishing map is a great resource for those looking for halibut fishing spots in the Sooke area. The map also has GPS locations of well-known Halibut fishing spots printed on waterproof paper. Strong wind and tide conditions in our area often make it difficult to fish for these delicious flat fish, those looking to seriously target halibut in Sooke should really consider investing in an anchoring system. This season looks to have some great fishing derbies coming up soon, mark these on your fishing calender. Sidney Anglers Association Salmon Derby, May 1/2, $125 per rod and dinner. The Sooke Halibut Derby, May 23/24, $50 per rod or $150 as part of the Sooke Saltwater Series (3 Derbies). The 2015 Alpine Group Juan De Fuca Fishing Tournament June 20/21, $200 per rod. Other up coming events include a Liquor and Cheese Burger night, sponsored by Buffy’s Pub and the Sooke Saltwater Series at 7 p.m. on April 15. There will be Series tickets and sponsor information, prize give aways and lots of fun.
