Fire destroys family’s home in Port Renfrew First Nations come to aid of burned out family of four Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

A family of four is homeless following a house fire Sunday morning in the Pacheedaht residential area of Port Renfrew. All family members managed to get out of the fire. One person suffered minor burns to his wrist. And while all are safe, the family did not have time to grab any personal belongings or spare clothing, said Pacheedaht band manager Chris Hopkins. The house was destroyed by fire. The cause of the fire is unknown and it is being investigated by the RCMP and a B.C. fire specialist. The house was located down the street and across the road from the Pacheedaht band office, in the centre of town. Relief efforts for the victims have already been set in motion, Hopkins said. “We had a community meeting [Sunday] and people have been donating clothes,” he said. “We got them [the victims] set up in temporary housing, they’re off

to a warehouse in Port Alberni full of furniture to pick out from. The community’s really stepped up.” The T’Sou-ke First Nation also arrived with a load of donated clothes and items following the news of the fire. “We were quite shocked at the amount of stuff that came out of Sooke, it was very heart-lifting,” Hopkins said, adding that even the campers in their campground were donating clothes. “The band and the individuals involved are grateful for the support they received from the community and from Sooke, and helping them get through the trauma.” Meanwhile, the Pacific Marine Circle Route is now open to traffic, the province announced Tuesday morning. The road was closed down two weeks ago between the bridge adjacent to the Pacheedaht campground, and the road junction in Mesachie Lake due to debris falling down from the fire. The only alternate route was the Gordon River Mainline that provided access to Honeymoon Bay. To date, the affected area of the fire is an estimated 393 hectares, though 70 per cent of it has been contained.

Well-earned smiles Country music sensation Twin Kennedy – Carli, left, and Julie Kennedy – have already had quite a year. The Sooke residents have been nominated for a Canadian Country Music Association award, are shooting a music video and plan an East Coast tour. This Saturday the duo will take part in a special acoustic performance at Far Out Pizza restaurant in Jordan River. Admission is by donation. For more on Twin Kennedy, please turn to page B1.

Two brush fires in Otter Point Pirjo Raits Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Otter Point, Sooke, Shirley, East Sooke and Metchosin fire departments responded to the call of a “fairly significant” brush fire at the 3100 block of Otter Point Road on Sunday evening. “It was going pretty fast with the wind, but luckily, they managed to put it out,” said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen. First responders evacuated 10 houses as a precautionary measure, and the owners were able to return around 9:30 p.m.. There was no structure damage to any of the buildings. Exact cause of the fire is under investigation. A second brush fire, albeit minor, broke out at 3050 Otter Point Rd. on Monday afternoon. The fire was subdued by Otter Point Fire Department as well as Sooke Fire Department. Sorensen said he can’t emphasize enough the importance of vigilance during extreme weather conditions.

“It is extremely dry in the Sooke area. I cannot emphasize how serious the potential for a major wildland fire is for this area,” he said. “The last thing we need is someone adding to the potential by improper disposal of a cigarette butt. And

if you do see a fire, report it immediately no matter the size. A little fire can grow to dramatic size in no time, especially if we have some wind. If you see a fire call 911 or the B.C. Wildfire Service at 1-800-6635555 or *5555 on your cell.

Man faces child porn charges Police have charged a 52-year-old Sooke man with possession of child pornography. The suspect appeared before a judicial justice and was released. He is scheduled to make a first appearance in provincial court in Colwood on Sept. 10. His identity will not be released pending this first court appearance.

Bicycles stolen from Sooke home Sooke RCMP are

investigating the theft of four bikes from a residence on Charlene Place. The thefts occurred sometime in the late evening hours of Aug. 18, or early morning of July 19. The bikes are described as a 2003 Cannondale 29-er F1, black and silver, Lefe shock absorbers; 2001 Cannondale Volvo, racing carbon; 2001 Cannondale racing bike, Belt 1, silver in color; and 2001 Cannondale Bent 2, blue in colour,. The 2001 Cannondale Racing Volvo bike, a particularly rare

model, has a recognizable indent on the upper part of its frame. The silver recumbent Cannondale bike is also customized.

Arts council hosts annual meeting The Sooke Community Arts Council will hold its annual general meeting at the Sooke Harbour House at 7 p.m. on Sept. 15. The group will be discussing the election of a new vice-president, as well as registration.

Up Sooke Proclamations abound in Sooke

Scarecrows, colouring and crafts

Mayor Maja Tait is going to be one busy lady in September, as she “proclaims” several special events in the municipality. September is Literacy Month. Sept. 6 to 13 is KidSport Week, followed by Tour de Rock Day on Sept. 30.

The Sooke Children’s Garden Club ended the year with scarecrow building, coloring and crafts at the Sunriver Community Garden on Aug. 20. The garden club meets monthly from May to October. The club is open to kids from age three and up and they learn the basics of gardening and environmental stewardship. It is proving to be increasingly popular with the kids and the parents.

Setting the record straight A story in our Aug. 12 edition – Sooke tourism stilted by poor marketing – contained some inaccuracies. The piece of a quote made by local business owner Scot Taylor in the edition of this article was mistakenly missing, therefore making the information dispelled as inaccurate. The correct quote: “We should be pulling out of Victoria at least 20 per cent of their customer base that comes in through what we would consider Tourism Victoria,” Taylor said. “I don’t think we tap into five per cent of that.” Taylor clarified that it was his opinion of what Sooke should be pulling in terms of tourist activity, and not an actual, verified percentage.

Con artists impersonating Canada Revenue Agency Sooke RCMP have been inundated with complaints from residents regarding calls and emails professing to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. Complainants are receiving phone calls, messages or emails in which a person is claiming to be a CRA representative who threatens charges and jail time over a nonexistent debt.

The caller often uses aggressive and forceful language to force a potential victim into paying a fictitious debt. The CRA will never ask for sensitive personal information over phone or email, such as passport, care card or driver’s licence and they would never ask for payment in the form of wired money or prepaid credit cards

and they don’t threaten to arrest people who have outstanding debt, said Cpl. Joe Holmes, Sooke RCMP spokesman. Potential victims can garner more information and listen to an example of a telephone scam on the CRA’s website at cra-arc.gc.ca. “Crimes like this are difficult to investigate as they almost always originate from outside Canada,”

MSG: It’s not called that anymore

Ron Kumar Pharmacist/Owner

Did you know that there are at least 40 other names for MSG. You will be surprised to learn that not only is MSG a flavour enhancer and preservative, it also has addicting properties. Most canned soups, sauce mixes, salad dressings, potato chips, and fast foods contain MSG. Besides stomach problems such as nausea, cramps and diarrhea, MSG ingestion may also cause migraines, asthma, hypertension, or insulin resistance in some individuals. Besides avoiding MSG (which is very difficult to do) there are only a couple of remedies that may help some individuals. Many processed foods may now have a label that states ”NO ADDED MSG“, however it may and probably does contain one of the other chemicals that have the same effect as MSG. If you would like a list, pick one up at the pharmacy.

PEOPLES DRUG MART... Where people come first.

Holmes said. Anyone who receives a fraudulent call is asked to hang up immediately and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (Phonebusters) at 1-888-4958501. Its website, which has some valuable information on common frauds, is at antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca. editor@sookenewsmirror.com

Paving, streetlight decisions made District of Sooke council came back early from summer vacation last week to tidy up a few issues centering around the roundabout project. The first item before council was resurfacing of Brownsey Boulevard to Goodmere Road. The roundabout is opening up areas towards the harbour, said Mayor Maja Tait in explaining why this was before council at this time. Finance director Michael Dillabaugh said the potential cost for resurfacing and paving five metres from Brownsey Boulevard to Goodmere Road was $60,000. Goodmere Road would be extended through to Brownsey Boulevard. Council passed the motion to proceed with the interim paving on

the right-of-way at the bottom of Brownsey Boulevard and the rightof-way on Goodmere Road be included. Any costs over $60,000 would be covered. Coun. Kerrie Reay suggested a six-metre strip to allow the public access to the waterfront. Coun. Brenda Parkinson said this was an issue that could be brought up with the parks and trails committee. Ornamental street lighting was also discussed. There are six potential locations for ornamental s-shaped lighting along Sooke Road at a cost of approximately $6,000 each. Coun. Rick Kasper said it was too bad the lighting plan didn’t include lighting all the way from Otter Point to Church Road. The

s-shaped streetlights at the roundabout will be MOTI lights and will not equipped with electricity for ornamental lighting, “If we are spending $4-million on this project, I don’t want to see us nickel and dime it because of hydro,” said Kasper. He said if we were into this we should do it right and

slap in a few extra lights. The sidewalks being built are mostly threemetres wide with the exception of the corners around Otter Point Road, which are far narrower. There needs to be at least twometre wide sidewalks to safely accommodate wheelchairs and scooters. Council passed the motion to

place street lights in the proposed locations up to a maximum of 12 lights. Dillabaugh stated the grant application for the Grant Road Connector was not successful and there was an “extra” $175,000 in the budget and this could be used to cover expenses and costs approved by council.

Candidate’s profile:

Liberal David Merner eyes closer ties to regional tourism Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

This week’s candidate for the Sooke-EsquimaltSaanich riding is David Merner, a lawyer who’s worked in Ottawa and Victoria for over 25 years. In his position, he has provided constitutional, legal and policy advice to ministers as a lawyer with the Department of Justice and Privy Council office. Merner’s speciality in the field is justice reform, such as cutting costs for users by mediation and early resolution. Being bilingual has

also worked in his favour in the past, as he’s litigated cases in French for several years. An avid sailing enthusiast, Merner likes taking out his 17-foot sailboat out on the water whenever the time allows. He and his family regularly also come out camping in the Sooke and Juan de Fuca area, an activity his four daughters particularly enjoy.

In recognition of Sooke’s unique natural surroundings, Merner says one of the things he wants to look into is tying the tourism industry closer together between the Sooke-EsquimaltSaanich communities, such as finding a common element and helping them build off each other’s efforts. He also pointed out the idea of improving on existing ideas that benefit the local community. “One thing that is common to Saanich and Sooke is the potential for agricultural-related tourism,” he said.

Save The Date! David Merner “You see a lot of that in Kelowna and Okanagan, but there’s huge potential here. It’s green and it’s healthy.” Merner also hopes to carry forward the Liberals’ plan on legalizing marijuana, and the strategies that come with that decision. news@sookenewsmirror.com

Our View

Blue Jays reuniting the country again WE SAY: It’s not the federal election that’s enthralling the nation, but a baseball team

A mania seems to be sweeping the country and it’s got nothing to do with the current, prolonged federal election campaign. No, we’re a long way from Harpermania, Trudeaumania or Mulcairmania at this juncture of the campaign but it seems a race of a different kind is capturing the imaginations of Canadians from Victoria to St. John’s and everywhere inbetween.

And that’s the pennant race. Yes, apparently the Toronto Blue Jays are for real, after the trade deadline they are anyway, and after a recent 11-game winning streak they are regularly selling out the stadium and attracting millions of viewers on television as visions of 1992 and 1993 dance through Canadians’ heads. According to Sportsnet (owned by Rogers, along with the stadium and the ball team so they should know a little

about this kind of stuff), an average audience of 2.03 million viewers tuned into the Friday night game between our Blue Jays and the visiting New York Yankees in a duel for first place. That’s the most in the channel’s history by the way, surpassing the NHL season opener between that other Toronto team and the Canadiens on Oct. 8, 2014 at 2.01 million viewers. Although it reveals the network hasn’t boasted a lot of big sports events until recently, it also shows they have the hottest ticket in town these days and the numbers are likely to keep skyrocketing

as the race heats up towards September. It may stil be too early to talk about repeats of ‘92 and ‘93 World Series champions but it’s sure fun to cheer on the Jays and witness meaningful baseball this late in the season after a very long dry spell. Go, Jays, go, and let’s hope Canadians are watching two races to the finish line this October. >> We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to editor@sookenewsmirror.com. Letters must include daytime phone number and your name.

Other Views They say, “Fences make good neighbours.” But there are times when neighbours need to break down fences (at least metaphorically) to build a stronger neighbourhood. The Block Watch program is a good example of that. The program isn’t new, nor is the philosophy novel. It’s all about neighbours watching out for each other, based on the belief that standing together is better than struggling alone. It has a proven track record of reducing the incidents of crime. It’s shown that when residents take ownership of their block they are more likely to notice suspicious activity and report it to police. They’re better equipped, better organized and more motivated to keep their neighbourhood crime free. Criminals who see the Block Watch signs prominently posted on lamp posts, meanwhile, know that their activities are being watched a little more closely. And those signs have to be earned; they’re not just window dressing. Residents have to commit to the program, elect a captain and co-captain, and remain an active part of the larger Block Watch community or the signs will be re-assigned to another neighbourhood. It’s the front line of crime prevention – a way to take ownership or your neighbourhood so that you and your neighbours can live in peace and security. With or without the fences. – Black Press

You can help bring monarchs back from the brink

David Suzuki

Science Matters

Jode Roberts has spent a lot of the summer checking out ditches and fields along the sides of roads, railways and trails. At first, he didn’t like what he was seeing. Roberts, who is leading the David Suzuki Foundation’s effort to bring monarchs back from the brink, was searching for signs that the butterflies had visited patches of milkweed plants. Despite the bleak start, he recently hit the jackpot: a halfdozen eggs and a couple of monarch caterpillars, calmly munching on milkweed leaves. Over the past millennium, eastern monarch butterflies have migrated northward from Mexico in spring. Concerned citizens, scientists and conservation groups were starting

to think monarchs might largely be a no-show in Canada this summer. The eastern monarch population has plummeted from more than a billion butterflies in the 1990s to an estimated 35 million in 2014 — a drop of more than 95 per cent. They bounced back to about 55 million in Mexico this past winter, but a cool start to their journey northward coupled with the virtual eradication of milkweed plants — mainly thorough widespread use of the herbicide glyphosate (Roundup) over the past two decades — left monarch experts wondering whether the butterflies would make it across the border this year. The good news is that citizen scientists and backyard butterfly lovers from across the northeastern

U.S. and southern Canada have reported through social media that monarch butterflies are arriving and laying a remarkable number of eggs. But it’s too early to gauge whether the numbers will meet already low expectations. While monarch enthusiasts are breathing a momentary sigh of relief, Roberts and colleagues have launched the Monarch Manifesto, encouraging people throughout the monarchs’ path to pledge to do their part to ensure the butterflies continue to recover. Visit davidsuzuki.org/monarchmanifesto to sign. Participants are asked to commit to do three simple things this summer: grow milkweed, report monarch sightings and avoid using pesticides on

their properties. They also commit to two simple tasks for the fall: reach out to at least one neighbourhood school, faith group, business or other institution about planting a butterfly garden and call local garden centres or nurseries to ask them to order native milkweed plants for next spring. Manifesto signatories will receive information and tips on how to begin these conversations. The Monarch Manifesto is part of a growing movement to bring back monarch butterflies and help other important pollinators, like honeybees and wild bees. If all goes well, we’ll see thousands of participants, hundreds of new butterfly gardens and more local milkweed sources next spring.

Readers’ letters: Tourism and horseshoes Does Sooke want tourism? Re: Sooke tourism stilted by poor marketing (News, Aug. 12) As anyone who has endured the local antics for any length of time would know, tourism in Sooke is more of a rhetorical topic or a subject that serves as a focal point for a gathering; a social event. Many good tourist attraction ideas have been killed in this area, some by mass protest emanating from Victoria – the jealous matron of tourism and all things British. It is all talk no action out this way. Everybody wants to get his self-important name out there, so that another nullard can get nothing done with as much hustle and bustle and kerfuffle as they can muster. I don’t think the core of movers and shakers in Sooke even want tourism. They want farming, and wild bush, and a harkening back to the old days, when the rivers were full of fish (before they ate them all), and the forests were thick with giant trees (which they cut down to clear the land for farming or for making boards). What they should do here is just come out and say it – they just don’t want tourism out this way. And I’ll bet the tourists would start elbowing their way here post haste, as in reverse psychology. On the other hand, as long as the local mantra remains, that Sooke is hard on the

Somewhere like Victoria which reeks of tourism, and is chocka-block with tourists, throwing their filthy lucre left and right. Now do the people of Sooke really want any part of that? No you bet not. N. E. MacNab Shirley

Horseshoes and parking, oh my! It is one month short of a year since Sooke applied to the province for a grant to assist in building a bicycle trail to connect the Galloping Goose to Sooke Road. Confirmation of the following requirements was requested in the application: completed public consultation, project design, property negotiations, and environmental mitigation measures. These were essential to declare the project “shelf ready.” Our application declared that our project was indeed shelf ready! Today, a year later, we have yet to meet

a single one of those requirements. In fact we have no idea where the trail will go after it leaves Kirby Road or what it will look like. The District of Sooke was granted $75,000 which we must match. We have committed to further expenditures such as surveying, etc., which have already increased our costs to $110,000 plus. The latest idea is to turn off River Road at the Girl Guide corner, and run the trail through district land down to the current site of the proposed horseshoe pitch. This will require considerable funding for tree removal, truckloads of fill, and likely protective railings. However, dollars will be needed, not just for the trail, but because those who govern us have now decided that perhaps the horseshoe pitch should move up to the Girl Guide corner as well. Money has been spent on the current site, and there is certainly the expectation from the horseshoe club that new money needs to come from municipal coffers. It has been clear

to me for months, if not years, that the horseshoe pitch cannot be built on the River Road parcel. We are told constantly by Sooke council, municipal staff, and by the club, that with the permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to allow the pitch on that piece of ALR land, it becomes the one and only permitted use. But wait. The ALC may have given its permission, but it also makes it clear that the owner or occupier must still comply with local government bylaws. Our zoning bylaw puts the RU3 zone on that property, and the only permitted use is agriculture. If the parcel is removed from the ALR, and declared a park, that would not change anything because parks are public places, and the horseshoe pitch requires a private clubhouse. If the parcel is rezoned to allow a horseshoe pitch for one group, a precedent will be set and the list of wishes will be endless. Not yet satisfied, council decided to add a parking lot to the mixture, a necessary use perhaps, but one with its own set of issues and another bucket of money. The parking is intended for use by patrons of the playing fields owned by the community association, whose contribution to this community is unparalleled. However, they are private owners of the

fields, and this brings us back to private benefits on municipal land. Suggestion to Sooke council: Toss the horseshoes. Park the parking for now. Concentrate on the bike path before you cost us another $75,000 by failing to meet the deadline. Gail Hall Sooke

West Shore will be second home for orchestra, chorus Sooke Philharmonic Chorus seeking new voices Sooke News Mirror

The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is looking ahead to a exciting season of classical music from Handel, Bach and Mozart. This season the chorus will be led by Nicholas Fairbank, who replaces conductor Wade Noble. The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is seeking new singers to join the 25 already in the choral group. “We sing a classical repertoire, we’re not singing Kumbaya,” said Bob Whittet, president of the Sooke Philharmonic Society. “We want to tap into the growing population on the West Shore, we want to recruit them into our choir.” Recruiting on the West Shore should be a little easier as the chorus will be rehearsing at Church of the Advent in Colwood and at St. Rose of Lima in Sooke. First rehearsals begin at the Church of the Advent on Sept. 19. Rehearsals take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The chorus is seeking soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices. “We want to increase our chorus substantially,” said Whittet. The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is one of the few choruses on Vancouver Island that has the opportunity to sing with a philharmonic orchestra. The orchestra is conducted by maestro Norman

Nelson. Fairbank will conduct the chorus for two concert series with the orchestra. Festive Harmony on Dec. 5 and 6 will feature highlights from Handel’s Messiah with guest soloist Nancy Washeim. Then in March the chorus will join the orchestra for Maestro Mozart’s Vesperae Solemnes de Confessore. This sacred work was Mozart’s final choral work composed for the Salzburg Cathedral. It was composed in 1780 for liturgical use. “It is shaping up to be another wonderful season of music,” said Whittet. The choral concerts in 2015-16 will be held at the Sooke Baptist Church in Sooke and in the Quarterdeck

Fairbank holds diplomas from the Royal Conservatory of Music and the Royal Canadian College of Organists, and Masters degrees from both the University of Paris and the University of Victoria. In addition to his responsibilities with the Sooke Philharmonic, he conducts the Via Choralis chamber choir and is music director of First Unitarian Church of Victoria. Singers interested in joining the Sooke Philharmonic Chorus can call Lynda Rose at 250-642-3536 or email: sookerose@shaw.ca. editor@sookenewsmirror.com >> we want to hear from you. send comments on this story to editor@ sookenewsmirror.com.

Ballroom at Royal Roads University. The Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra’s concerts will be held in Sooke at the Sooke Community Hall and at the theatre in the new Royal Bay secondary school in Colwood. The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus was formed in 2000 when Nelson contacted a women’s choir in Sooke and asked them to form the nucleus of a full choir interested in singing classical music with the orchestra. Fairbank was born and raised on Canada’s west coast, and now lives and works in Victoria. He divides his time between his various musical activities as composer, collaborative pianist, harpsichordist, organist, conductor, adjudicator, clinician and teacher.

Hot Car: 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

At any classic car show, it’s easy to get lost in the yesteryear automotive beauty and obsessively-polished chrome. All nostalgic and deliciously intoxicated by leaking benzene and rich carbs, one gets a sense of disappointment upon realizing many of these antique machines are purely museum pieces that only see sunny skies and nothing else. Not ever yone caresses their “baby” with gloves in a dry garage though; some owners prefer to drive their classics to their full potential. Local Sookie Lili Yacub is such an example, who drives her 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger pretty much every day. Introduced in 1967, the Dodge Dart remained in production until 1976 as Chrysler’s “compact” sedan, which, using the same platform, helped spawn the Dart’s other sibling, the Plymouth Valiant. Scamps and Swingers were coupes only, as were their more aggressivelystyled cousins, the Demon and Duster. Powertrains ranged from several variants of the slant-six (inlinesix-cylinder) to the full enchalada, a 426-cubicinch Hemi V8. Yacub said she was always a fan of cars from the late 1960’s and late 1970’s era. “I love the lines and simplicity,” she said. “To me, the Dart was the working class muscle car; it was mean and fast, and that’s all

It also comes equipped with a beefed-up 318 V8 and twin exhausts, allowing that guttural, classic Americanmuscle sound resonate through your soul. And it’s not just sound and no go; there’s enough torque to swing this Swinger ’round in a jiffy, should the driver’s right foot suddenly become too heavy. In the long run, Yacub, who plans to do a lot of the work on the car herself, hopes to restore the Swinger to the same shininess and glory it had when it rolled out Chrysler’s doors in 1972.

Dodge Dart Fun Fact Sheet • At the time of its unveiling, the Dart was clasiffied as a “compact” even though it eclipses a modern compact car by a significant margin. • Chrysler’s A-Body platform (which the Dart is based on) spawned many other siblings, such as the Demon, Plymouth Duster, the Scamp, Barracuda and the Valiant. • The “Swinger 340” was the Dart’s performance model until 1971, when it was replaced by the 340 Demon. Though the same underneath, the Demon featured a “fastback” style rear end design. • In 1969, the top-line performance Dart GTS model featured a “big block” 440 V8 (7.2L) pumping out 375 bhp. Pretty big cojones for a car nearly half the size of a typical American land yacht. • The Dart name was brought back in 2012 under Chrysler-Fiat’s Alfa-Romeo Giuletta platform.

Sooke’s first public school opened in 1872 Elida Peers News Mirror contributor

B.C.’s public school system began in 1872. While Metchosin’s school opened first, Springside at Sooke was opened that year as well. If you are driving out West Coast Road, between Gatewood and Caldwell, that is where the school stood, for its first two decades. Later, a new structure was built on the current Sooke elementary school site. Given us by his Muir/Throup great-great-niece Diane Alexander, pioneer Michael Muir’s diaries show us a bit of Sooke in that year. A diary entry for May 28, 1872, reads: “Mr. Jessup, superintendent of education, came down at 9 p.m. with the notices to put up about Sooke District having been made a school district and called a meeting to elect three trustees on the 12th of June.” The entry for May 29 reports: “Mr. Robertson our MPP and Mr. Walkem came down and we had a long talk … Mr R. explained the school bill … had a long talk about the road and the bridge.” On June 12, the entry

reads: “At 12 o’clock sharp the meeting for the election of trustees for school board was called to order with Mr. Meeson in the chair and F. Turner secretary …. F. Turner, J. Welsh and M. Muir was elected to be trustees …” Entries for December 1872 give us more details: ”Paid for school clock - $10” … “Paid Mrs. Miles for school books had by the children $5.05” … “All the folks went to the school examinations … examined by Mrs. Miles, assisted by Mr. Meeson … the children acquitted themselves very creditably. Had a fine tea after the examination and Mrs. Miles gave some of the children book prizes.” By the time this photo was taken c1888, there were already changes … J. Welsh was no longer living in Sooke after suffering the loss of his wife Mary Ellen, and Michael Muir himself, the family’s entrepreneur, had passed away the past January. John Murray (think Murray Road) is the trustee posed here with teacher Margaret Jennings. ••• Elida Peers is the historian of Sooke Region Museum.

Reader’s Photo of the Week

Ensemble seeks voices to join choir

Ellen Jodrell was surprised to find this young deer on the front steps of her house recently. Reader’s Photo of the Week is sponsored by the Stickleback West Coast Eatery. Send your jpeg photo to editor@ sookenewsmirror. com.

Is singing in a choir on your bucket list? There’s no better time than this fall to join since Sooke boasts at least three choirs. The longest running one is Ekoos Vocal Ensemble, which will begin its 27th season in September. Ekoos is a small group of singers who enjoy singing a cappella (sung without instrumental accompaniment), ranging from the medieval and Renaissance periods right up into the 21st century. The choir sings both sacred and secular music, is fond of choral favourites as well as interested in trying out new repertoire. Last year, Ekoos Vocal Ensemble even ventured into the world of opera by singing Monteverdi’s Lamento d’Arianna, from one of the earliest operas ever written. Rehearsals begin on Sept. 10, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Holy Trinity Church on Murray Road. New singers are always welcome – especially men. If you feel daunted by singing in foreign languages, this season is a perfect time to try out the ensemble, because its program will be “an old English Christmas” – sung all in English, with just a little bit of Latin. For more information, please call 250-642-7966 or 250-298-6756.”

Ron Neitsch/Sooke News Mirror

Matt and his sons Gabe and Markus enjoy a day of chinook salmon fishing at Otter Point, on Aug. 10.

Fishing Adventures Ron Neitsch Special to the Sooke News Mirror

Fishing in Sooke waters has been great, lots of bigger springs, coho and pink salmon in the area now. Spring salmon fishing has been really good with anglers reporting catches from Possession Point, Secretary Island, Otter Point, Sheringham Point, and Trap Shack of larger fish from 15 to 25 lb.. Last weekend many sport fishing boats were reporting limiting out on large spring salmon. Best depths seem to be 40 to 70 ft. on the downrigger in up to 100 feet of water. If that’s not working try 120 to 140 ft. of water with the gear at 95 to 105 ft. on the downrigger. Favourite baits have been anchovy or small herring trolled 5 to 7 ft. behind bright green flashers, in green, green/glow, glow white, or mint pearl anchovy teaser heads. Green or chrome coyote spoons, coho killers, and white hootchies have been working as far as artificial baits go. There has also been plenty of action from pinks and coho salmon while looking for springs. Halibut fishing is heating up with some 20 to 40 lb. halibut being reported caught in 180 to 200 ft. of water between Otter and Sheringham points. Anchoring the boat and putting down herring or salmon bellies on spreader bar systems seems to be working well during slower moving tides. Crabbing in the harbour keeps improving with catches good sized male dungeness crabs coming in during the incoming tides. The great fishing has been paired with very favourable weather conditions, warm, sunny days with low winds, and little fog, have made for flat water accessible to many of even the smaller fishing boats. No telling how long these fish will be in the area, but usually the large schools of spring salmon will be moving on quickly with the first heavy rains in the first weeks of September. ••• Ron Neitsch is the owner of 2 Reel Fishing Adventures in Sooke.

Carli, left, and Julie Kennedy will play a special acoustic performance at Far Out Pizza restaurant in Jordan River on Saturday

Country music dynamic duo prepare for CCMA awards and Jordan River concert Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Sooke has been home for country music singers Julie and Carli Kennedy (a.k.a Twin Kennedy) for some time now, but the twins are ready to take it to the next level: by playing at the all-new Far Out Pizza restaurant in Jordan River on Saturday (Aug. 29). The special acoustic performance, which starts at 7:30 p.m., celebrates the opening of Far Out Pizza, the Kennedys' music video shoot on location at the restaurant, as well as their Canadian Country Music Association nomination. Following the event, the gals are heading over to Halifax for the CCMA Awards ceremony. "We are excited to celebrate with the local crowd right before we head down to Halifax," said the Kennedys in a recent press release. "We drove around Sooke and Jordan River scouting locations for our music video, and

we were looking for a cozy cafe for one of the scenes." The twins drove by the new pizzeria in Jordan River, and decided to stop in. Taken in by the warmth of the local owners and residents, they decided this was the star location of their music video. “Joined to the pizzeria is a beautiful larger space that seemed perfect for a show, so we got to talking and they said they would love to host us for a concert as well,” the Kennedys said. “Living in such a beautiful place definitely has its rewards.” The next few weeks will be interesting for the twins. They will travel back and forth around Sooke and the surrounding area filming for their new upcoming single album, and then hop on a plane and fly more than 6,000 kilometres to the east coast for their CCMA ceremony. But it's all good. When they first heard from their publicist

about the nomination, the twins said they were crying with joy – so much that they called their parents bright and early to tell them. “We called our mom and dad with tears, and they initially thought something was wrong, but it was actually just a whole lot of joy,” Julie and Carli Kennedy said in a recent interview with the Sooke News Mirror. “For us to be nominated as best artists of the year is really, really cool.” The CCMAs are almost a full week of events, such as songwriter circles, showcases, meetings, and artist panels. The duo will go to the awards and just tour around – they're already booked for concerts in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, as well as multiple shows in P.E.I. and Ontario. The Kennedys look forward to this weekend’s show in Jordan River, entrance is by donation (suggested $10 to $15). All ages are welcome. news@sookenewsmirror.com

Golfers take swing for local women’s shelters With the swing of a golf club, realtors at Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty are raising money for local women’s shelters. As part of the 11th annual Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Golf Party, golf enthusiasts of all levels can compete in the Texas scramble-style play at the charity event at the Cedar Hill Golf Course in Saanich on Sept. 1. New this year will be a putting tournament and two chances to win a $10,000 prize if participants sink a holein-one on two different holes. Following the golf tournament, there will also be a silent auction, dinner and live auction.

All proceeds from the auction goes toward four local women’s shelters that provide a safe transitional home for women and children escaping domestic violence, including the Cridge Transition House for Women, Victoria Women’s Transition House Society, Margaret Laurence House and the Sooke Transition House Society. “A lot of us take shelter and safety for granted and what we’d really like to do is help get the message out that not everyone feels safe or has shelter or feels safe in their shelter,” said Sarah West, golf party organizer. “A very small

donation or participating in an event might not seem like a lot for people that do it, but it makes an incredible impact on the lives of women and children in [Greater] Victoria.” Marlene Goley, manager of the women’s and family centre at the Cridge Centre, said the donation will be used to keep vehicles on the road to transport women to appointments and support women with no immigration status, among “dozens of other things.” “We just couldn’t do what we do without their help. It not only is absolutely crucial to what we do of being

The Pastor's Pen

Head or Heart?

The quotation, “Knowledge is power”, is attributed to Francis Bacon, but the meaning given to it varies from author to author. The phrase often implies that with education, one’s potential in life will certainly increase, such as improving reputation and influence, thereby having power. Throughout life we acquire a lot of “head” knowledge from formal education, reading books, searching the Internet, watching television, listening to music, and having conversations with others. At the same time we can be deficient in “heart” knowledge. Heart knowledge (also referred to as ‘wisdom’) means a knowledge that comes from God. There is no evidence that Jesus attended school or university, yet he dumbfounded the scholars of the day with his wisdom. Jesus asked questions and was a good listener. He accepted all people, except the ones who used their knowledge of laws for their own benefit. The Apostle Paul often dismissed his education when he spoke with others. In fact he said, “I did this so you would not trust in human wisdom but in the power of God. Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten.” 1 Corinthians 2:5-6 Only with God guiding us we will be able to love others, to have peace within our hearts, to be patient with others as well as ourselves, to show deeds of kindness, and to forgive those who have wronged us. No amount of education can teach us these things. Do not misunderstand, education is important! But listening to the inner voice of wisdom that comes from God is what gives us the power to live!

Capital Regional District

Notice to Electors within the Capital Regional District

Alternative Approval Process for CRD Bylaws 3914 and 3915 Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Capital Regional District ("CRD") proposes to adopt Bylaw 3914, "Vancouver Island Regional Library District Borrowing Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 1, 2014" to establish a service for the CRD to borrow funds on behalf of the Vancouver Island Regional Library (“VIRL”) and Bylaw 3915, “Vancouver Island Regional Library District Borrowing Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1, 2014” to authorize the borrowing of up to Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) to lend to the VIRL for a new library building. Under an agreement with the CRD, the VIRL would service the $6,000,000 debt for the construction of a new library. The maximum requisition of $700,000 contained in the borrowing service establishment bylaw is a safeguard to be levied only in the event that the VIRL is unable to meet its debt service obligations under its agreement with the CRD. Take further notice that the CRD may proceed with Bylaws 3914 and 3915 unless at least 3,084 electors within the Service Area described below 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 Bylaws 3914 and 3915. 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 Service Area to which the alternative approval process opportunity applies. The alternative approval process opportunity applies within the Service Area composed of the following municipalities of the CRD: North Saanich, Sidney and Sooke and a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (East Sooke, Jordan River, Otter Point, Shirley, Port Renfrew subareas). The deadline for delivering the original signed elector response forms, in relation to Bylaws 3914 and 3915, to the CRD is 4 p.m. on Wednesday, September 30, 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 30,840 and that 10% of that number, or 3,084 electors, must submit elector response forms to prevent the CRD from enacting Bylaws 3914 and 3915 without the assent of the electors by referendum. During regular office hours Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays) from the date of this notice until September 30, 2015, you may direct your questions: • regarding Bylaws 3914 and 3915 to Raj Sharma, CRD Finance and Technology, 250.360.3011, rsharma@crd.bc.ca • regarding the library building project to Steve Hurcombe, Vancouver Island Regional Library, 250.729.2312, shurcombe@virl.bc.ca Qualifications for Resident and Non-Resident Property Electors Resident Elector: You are entitled to submit an elector response form as a Resident Elector if you are 18 years or older on the date of submission of the elector response form, are a Canadian citizen, have resided in British Columbia for 6 months and in the Service Area described above for at least 30 days prior to signing the elector response form. Non-Resident Property Elector: You may submit an elector response form as a Non-Resident Property Elector if you are 18 years or older on the date of submission of the elector response form, are a Canadian citizen, have resided in British Columbia for 6 months, have owned and held registered title to property in the Service Area described above for 30 days and do NOT qualify as a Resident Elector. If there is more than one registered owner of the property (either as joint tenants or tenants in common) only one individual may, with the written consent of the majority, submit an elector response form. To obtain an elector response form, or for questions about the elector approval process, please contact CRD Legislative and Information Services, PO Box 1000, 625 Fisgard Street, 5th Floor, Victoria, BC V8W 2S6 or by telephone at 250.360.3642 from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. A copy of the elector response form may be downloaded from: www.crd.bc.ca/about/how-we-are-governed/ elections-other-voting Elector response forms may also be obtained at the following CRD offices, from 8:30 am-4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays): • Panorama Recreation Centre, 1885 Forest Park Drive, North Saanich, BC V8L 4A3 • Juan de Fuca Local Area Services office, #3-7450 Butler Road, Sooke A copy of Bylaws 3914 and 3915 and a copy of this Notice may be inspected during regular office hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays) from the date of this notice until September 30, 2015, at the following locations: • • • •

More security added at regional hospital facility Donate blood and save a life Clinic set for Sooke on Monday

The B.C. Health Ministry is adding an extra $2 million to improve security at four facilities identified as having the highest risk for violence. Extra staff, new alarms and violence prevention training will be among strategies for Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam, Hillside Centre in Kamloops, Seven Oaks Tertiary Mental Health in Victoria and Abbotsford Regional

Hospital. Eight more health facilities have been identified as priorities for additional help, and more are expected to be identified this fall. B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil said increased staffing around the clock will mean nurses will no longer have to work alone. She said violence is a risk for all health-care facilities in the

province, including residential care. “Health care workers as a whole receive the highest number of WorkSafeBC injury claims for violence-related injuries across this province,” Duteil said. “They actually have more injuries than police officers related to violence.” editor@sookenewsmirror.com

Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Remember the days when you used to fear needles like death? Do you still fear needles like death? Well, this may change your mind: one little prick could save a life. Yup. Every 60 seconds, someone in Canada needs blood, which is why this upcoming long weekend there will be 5,760 people who will require blood, according to the Canadian Blood Services. So, if you’re feeling in a mood for giving something that doesn’t involve your money, a blood clinic will open up in Sooke on Monday (Aug. 31), at Sooke Royal Canadian Legion, 12:30 to 7 p.m. The customers? Cancer patients who need treatment, heart patients undergoing surgery, and car crash victims and the latter who are rushed into ER. Half of all Canadians will also either need blood or know someone who will need blood at some point in their lives. On average, 1,600 new donors are needed every week to help patients today and in the future, and 16,000 blood donations are needed every week to meet patient needs. So naturally, where there’s more, the power grows; for example, it can take eight blood donors a week to help someone with leukemia. And for those a bit more generous, blood isn’t the only thing they can donate. There are close to 1,000 patients waiting for stem cell transplant, and one organ donation may save up to eight lives and tissues up to 75 lives. To book your appointment with a blood clinic, go to blood.ca, download the GiveBlood app, or call 1-888-236-6283. For info on organ donations, visit blood/ca/ organs-tissues. news@sookenewsmirror.com
