BEAR COMPLAINT CALLS HIT RECORD Bruins find feast in region due to complacent homeowners unwilling to be ‘bear-aware’ Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

With a record number of bear-related calls to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service this month, Sooke residents are a little spooked and on the defensive, but if they feel they’ve got it bad, Yogi’s got it a lot worse. Let’s put it this way: if a bear becomes habituated to an urban environment due to easy access to garbage or human-sourced food, the bear is almost always guaranteed a sad and pointless death: either due to starvation, or by the hands of a less-than-riveted conservation officer who has no other choice but to put the bear down due to its imminent danger to the public. Still, 50 calls since Sept. 1 shows otherwise, so are there more bears out there? “Not necessarily,” said Debbie

Read, coordinator of Wild Wise Sooke, adding 300 to 500 bear calls is common in Sooke. What hasn’t been so common was the hot and dry summer, which, as Read said, has disrupted the rhythm of how bears feed themselves. “We had a very warm summer, so berries and skunk cabbages ripened early this year, which gave them [the bears] plenty of food up in the hills, but when everything started drying up and that food source was depleted, then they started coming down here,” she said. And since fruit trees are still ripening and berries are plentiful in town, Sooke has become an interesting food hot spot. If you add some garbage, which serves as a huge attractant for bears, then you got yourself an all-star bear buffet. SEE BEARS • PAGE 33

Local politicians lukewarm on $50-million homeless plan Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Victoria city council has backed a plan asking the Capital Regional District to borrow $50 million to house the homeless, but how this will affect Sooke is still unknown. Sooke Mayor Maja Tait said more clarity is needed on the proposal. “When they broke down what the requisition was per household, it’s a bit tough on Sooke residents because it’s another piece added to the cost,” Tait said. “How do they end up breaking it out, and

how it all funnels out in the end? I’m not all clear on that.” The proposal consists of a regionwide levy of $11.18 per household for a duration of 15 years that would ultimately contribute to 367 units of housing for homeless people and “end homelessness in Greater Victoria by 2018.” But as much as it sounds like a morallyattractive idea, Tait pointed out that the levy would otherwise be detrimental to groups already struggling in the local community. “There’s always

a case to have affordable housing, but would putting a large [housing] facility in Victoria be of benefit to those people in Sooke that are in these situations? No, likely not,” she said. Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan said the problem of housing goes much further uphill than the municipal level. “The underlining issue here is the absence of appropriate support from the senior levels of government, such as the federal government, who has been out of

housing for almost 20 years now, and the provincial government that hasn’t focused on the challenges here on the Island,” he said. CRD Juan de Fuca director Mike Hicks had his doubts too on pushing forward such an initiative without a more thorough consultation. “As far as I’m concerned, these [homeless people] aren’t necessarily

regional people, or even JDF people, or Victoria people, they’re Canadian people, coming from across Canada, so it should be federallysponsored, or at least, be provinciallysponsored,” he said, adding that he won’t be making any decisions on the subject until he consults with his electoral area ratepayers.

Council Briefs District earns green designation The District of Sooke has been recognized by the joint Provincial-Union of B.C. Municipalities Green Communities Committee for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For its efforts, the district received a Climate Action Community 2014 logo for use on websites and letter head. “As a signatory to the Climate Action Charter, you have demonstrated your commitment to work with the province and UBCM to take action on climate change and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in your community and corporate operations,” wrote Gary MacIsaac, executive director of the UBCM to council.

$5,000 earmarked for negotiations Sooke will pay $5,000 this year to the Te’mexw Treaty Advisory Committee to help pay legal costs for First Nations negotiations. Member municipalities on the advisory committee include Colwood, Esquimalt, Highlands, Metchosin, North Saanich, Saanich, Sooke, View Royal, Victoria and the Capital Regional District.

Elderly celebrated with special day Sooke’s Age-Friendly Committee will host International Day of the Elderly on Oct. 1 at Ayre Manor Lodge, from 1 to 4 p.m. The event will feature a mocktail party, activities, cake, refreshments and recorded music featuring T’Sou-Ke First Nation elders. The music was recorded by T’Sou-Ke youth. International Day of the Elderly is sponsored by a $1,000 from the provincial government. For information email receotion@ayremanor.

Sooke needs more firefighters Firefighter orientation session tonight Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Ever wondered what it would be like to fight fires and lend a helping hand to the community? Here’s your chance. Sooke Fire Rescue is hosting an open house tonight (Sept. 23) at Fire Station No. 1, beginning at 7 p.m. The session is free, and will allow those interested in joining the fire department as volunteers to learn more about what it is to be a member and what they can expect when on the job. A tour and the history of Station No. 1 is also included, along with a presentation on the equipment members will be using and what they do. Volunteering as a firefighter takes up more time than people who first join expect, said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen, but the self-satisfaction is priceless. “It’s a great way to give back to the community, especially if you’re new here,” he said. “People

have forged some life-long friendships here, so it’s quite a social thing as well, very family-oriented.” And there is no obligation, just stick your foot in the door and see if it feels right for you. One thing’s for sure: you’ll be kept occupied. “It’s a fairly-busy department for our size, so once they [new members] are in the door, it’s hard to keep them away,” Sorensen said. “It’s a challenge for people, but you get to learn a lot of skills that you could use forever.” Anyone attending should also consider bringing their families with them that night, since a good part of the session will explain some of the expectations the family would have from their spouse once they become a member. “We encourage the families to come just so they understand what they’re getting into, because if you’re not going to have family support, it’s not going to work,” he said. After all, things like accidents, fires, or other kinds of emergencies neither wait or have a schedule, so unexpected challenges and calls in the middle of the night are a common theme in this job.

Too many students and not enough space Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Sooke Elementary School is overflowing with students. The school saw as many as 40 more students register this month, compared to last June. The result? Two classes are being taught in the school’s library. “The library is not a bad place to learn. I’m more concerned about the rest of the kids in the school having access to the library,” said Sooke School District superintendent Jim Cambridge. This is not the first time the

school’s library has became a makeshift classroom, after a fire damaged part of the building last year. Cambridge said the space issue is already being addressed, with a portable classroom already in the works for the school – though he noted that won’t actually be added until at least December. Despite the overcrowding issue, Cambridge said this is good news for the district, as growth in student population like this hasn’t been seen for a long while. “This is sustained growth, so it’s worthwhile us investing into it, and

it also gives us an opportunity to make a case to the government for a new school, as we are now able to demonstrate that a new school is required,” he said. Ironically, both Sooke and Saseenos elementary were once considered for closure because there weren’t enough students to fill the classrooms. Still, the possibility of more students in local schools was known months ago, said Ian Johnson, president of the Sooke Teachers’ Association. “It was on the radar back in spring, and we were anticipating

miles per hour in seconds here and the outcome isn’t always what you hope it to be,” Sorensen said. It’s not like you’re expected to be made of

Sometimes, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat infections to slow down or destroy bacteria. Unfortunately along with the unwanted bacteria, antibiotics may wipe out the body’s natural flora... the friendly bacteria. Probiotics help restore some of the good bacteria that is eradicated by antibiotics. There is debate that taking probiotics while taking antibiotics is not beneficial, but there is enough proof that taking them during the course of the antibiotics significantly decrease the side effects. Probiotics are present in yogurt and in the form of capsules/ liquids. If you do use yogurt make sure to buy plain yogurt and add your own fruit...most of the flavored yogurt has a lot of sugar.

there might be some overcrowding issues,” he said. “We are one of the few school districts in the province that is actually growing, and projections were made a decade ago by the Sooke School District about growth in the area.” Johnson estimated that the rate of growing student numbers in the school district has increased to about 100 a year. This includes teacher membership, which increased from just under 500 teachers 10 to 15 years ago to just shy of 600 now. news@sookenewsmirror.com

French immersion numbers hits new highs in Sooke area More parents interested in teaching kids to become bilingual

Testimonial #39

“Thank you, John, for delivering on your promises that you made to us when we listed our home with you. Indeed, you surpassed on those promises and beyond. Your regular communication and keeping us informed were greatly appreciated and so was your professionalism. Thank you also for keeping us focused and for not letting us get carried away with our emotions during the heat of negotiations. Finally, thank you once again and good luck with your business” A. & N. Jamal

Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

Parlez-vous Francais? No? Well, given a recent boom in French immersion in Sooke and the lower Island, chances are, your child will likely be able to become bilingual by the time they become an adult. This is all thanks to a steady but healthy growth of students in the Sooke School District, as well as a thorough presence of French immersion in Sooke alone, such as Ecole Poirier, which has been a spearhead of the program for the last 25 years. “It’s also that we’re very inclusive with French immersion,” said district principal Vivian Collyer. “People used to think that French immersion was just for those very skilled students, but we believe that anybody who is interested in learning a second language should be included.” Inclusivity has been a major play in the bloom, more so than anyone can imagine. It has led to numerous program launches at numerous schools, including John Stubbs Memorial School, which, for the first time this year, has become completely French immersion. This is one of the few schools in the province that provides such a combination from kindergarden to Grade 8. Another factor for the program’s significant growth in Sooke during recent years has been the presence of the a French Immersion Advisory Committee and a Canadian Parents for French chapter in Sooke. The CPF particularly highlights the importance of parents being involved in the development of their child’s bilingual education. “If we as parents don’t do it, then who will?” asked Cendra Beaton, president of CPF Sooke District chapter. “We are blessed to have a school district that is very supportive and understanding of the benefits of a bilingual education program like French immersion.” After all, much of the program’s success leans on the continued collaborations between the CPF, the French Advisory and Sooke district board. Still, new challenges appear with more students, though Beaton

“We are blessed to have a school district that is very supportive and understanding of the benefits of a bilingual education program like French immersion.”

– Cendra Beaton, president of CPF Sooke District chapter.

“With the great enrollment numbers, comes a greater need for long term planning to be prepared and ready for what is to develop,” she said. “We look forward to working with the district to plan for the future together and having more parents join our chapter to have a stronger voice on these topics.”

In previous years, the CPF has helped bring in additional cultural activities and events into the French immersion program, such as Charlotte Diamond and Anne Glover, the annual District Concours d’Art Oratoire, a national French- speaking contest, as well as gathering and purchasing classroom text books. Beaton hopes more parents will reach out and become active in the local CPF chapter, which is why the organization has some interesting plans in the works this month. From Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, all new and renewing CPF Sooke memberships will be entered in a draw to win prizes donated by businesses like Thrifty Foods, Vegetables Online, and Marlin Travel. Additional details and prizes will be posted on the CPF event on Facebook. These memberships are the backbone to funding the majority of the CPF support for French programming in the Sooke School District. news@sookenewsmirror.com

WEDNESDAY, wednesday, SEPTEMBER sePTemBer 23, 2015

In their own words The News Mirror is offering federal election candidates space to offer their viewpoints on five issues: the economy, environment, taxes security and childcare. This week’s topic is the Environment.

New Democrats

Randall Garrison NDP

Conservatives

Canadians don’t have to choose between a strong economy and a clean environment. Unfortunately, in the last 10 years, the Stephen Harper government has dismantled the laws protecting our air, land and water – which affects our health, economy, and future development. The NDP has a plan to build sustainable prosperity by kick-starting clean and renewable energy production, and making big polluters pay with a cap-andtrade system for carbon. We are committed to rebuilding Canada’s gutted environmental assessment rules and restoring our international reputation on climate change. Locally I will make sure that federal government implements an action plan for the recovery of the endangered southern resident killer whales. I will also re-introduce my bills that would restore protection to watersheds in our riding including the Sooke and Goldstream rivers – protection that Stephen Harper unilaterally demolished. In this election, we have a chance to elect a truly progressive government that will take action on climate change seriously. We are just one election away from sending a prime minister to Paris who goes not only with aggressive GHG reduction targets and a plan, but that will be a leader on climate change. This election is our opportunity to elect a NDP government that will repair our reputation on an international level.

Liberals

David Merner Liberal

Shari Lukens Conservative

Our Conservative government is delivering a plan that is helping create jobs and economic growth, and also protecting Canada’s environment. Since coming to office, the government has placed a high priority on protecting our environment. We have made record investments in targeted actions to improve water quality, reduce air pollutants and conserve important ecosystems that support fish and wildlife. Since 2006, an area of more than 220,000 square kilometres has been added to the network of federal protected areas, including the world’s first protected area extending from the mountain tops to the sea floor (Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site). It was the Conservatives that launched the National Conservation Plan, a $252-million investment in programs to restore ecosystems, secure ecologically sensitive lands and strengthen marine and coastal conservation. We will not force a carbon pricing scheme on Canadians that will kill jobs and raise the cost of everything. I encourage on-the-ground action and partnerships with those who know best, leading to tangible results that make a difference for those who truly love these lands.

Greens

Climate change is a serious threat to the future of our planet and Canadians know it. As a father of four, the environmental legacy my daughters inherit is critically important. A Liberal government will address climate change by working the provinces on a framework to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to price carbon. We’ll also cut fossil fuel subsidies. We will increase Canada’s protected marine and coastal areas from 1.3 per cent to five per cent by 2017, and 10 per cent by 2020. We will restore the $40 million Harper cut from ocean science and monitoring and unmuzzle government scientists, including our fisheries experts. As to pipelines – and tanker traffic – it’s clear that Harper has completely undermined public confidence in federal environmental assessments. We stand against the Northern Gateway pipeline and for the northern tanker ban. A federal Liberal government will rebuild Canadians’ confidence in federal environmental assessments and bring in legislation to make sure that the impact of pipeline projects on global warming considered by the National Energy Board.

Frances Litman Green Party

Our coastline – with its vital tourism and fishing industries – is at risk from new fossil fuel infrastructure and additional oil tankers. The Green Party says a clear “no” to more pipelines, “no” to more risky tankers carrying bitumen. Instead, we will invest in clean and renewable energy sources. The clean energy industry creates three times more jobs for Canadians than the fossil fuel industry, with jobs that are local and well-paid. Immediate, decisive action is crucial if we are to avert the most devastating consequences of climate change. The Green Party is ready to fully participate in this fall’s UN climate talks in Paris, where Canada needs to once again become a world leader in climate action. At home, Greens propose a carbon fee and dividend that places a price on carbon pollution while returning the revenues from this to all Canadians. The B.C. carbon tax has shown this to be an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We need to return science to decision making, and focus on maintaining clean air, clean water, and healthy ecosystems.

The Edward Milne Community School theatre became the stage for an all-candidates debate on Wednesday, which was divided between Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich riding candidates David Merner, Liberals, Francis Litman, Green Party and Randall Garrison, NDP. Conservative candidate Shari Lukens did not attend the event. Six questions were prepared, all of which covered environmentdriven topics such as the creation of local green jobs,

sustainable energy, as well as the controversial Enbridge Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan pipeline expansions. Much of the focus, however, remained on the world impact of oil, notably in regards to reducing Canada’s own carbon footprint, an issue Litman was eager to address first. “We propose a carbon fee and dividend approach, which may be 10 cents more expensive for some of us at the tank to make it happen, but at the same time we will re-distribute the dividend in the form of a guaranteed livable

income to all Canadians,” she said, adding that the Greens will also end thermocoal exports, phase out rapid coal fire generation plants and stop the expansion of oil and gas. Garrison suggested the NDP’s plan to implement a cap and trade system as opposed to the Green party’s direct taxation at the pump. “Green policy hopes that taxes will do that, but it does not create direct investments in lowering greenhouse gases,” he said. “A cap and trade system sets limits, and companies have to

then stay below those limits, if they can’t, they have to buy credits from someone who has done better than them.” Merner disagreed with the NDP’s cap and trade system, calling it “a bureaucratic failure,” instead, the Liberals’ focus would remain on developing carbon pricing framework across all provinces in the country. “The cap and trade approach is a licence to pollute, the board of the Land Conservancy of Canada decided not to get into cap and trade because it’s much better to price carbon,” he said.

One thing all three candidates agreed on was to put an end to the pipeline expansions that inch ever so closely from the east towards British Columbia’s coasts, let alone to the addition of a whole new fleet of extra tankers that will sail local waters. “The Green party says no to these tankers. We’re realistic, we understand we’re using oil and gas every day and we have plastics, but we need to ween ourselves from this extract and export system that we’re in,” Litman said. news@sookenewsmirror.com

Wow! Seventy-five years ago this was the view from Sooke School looking out to the water and towards Woodward Point. Does it ever take me back! I must have been in Grade 3 then. The large building you see on the right was the Throup barn, at that time owned by George Duncan. When the museum was built in 1977 George gave us the oxen yoke from the barn, which had been used by the pioneer Throup family. The Jonas Throup home stood on the right of the barn; it is now gone, but at the time of the photo was being lived in by blacksmith Lyall Sheilds, his wife Lizzie and their youngest daughter, Elaine. Today if you looked through the line of vision of the barn, your eyes would meet the Mariner Village development. At the left of the fenced open field stood a house owned by the Percivals; this is the western edge of the tent-lot subdivision. With the advent of the war years, more people were flocking to the quiet little village of Sooke and more classrooms were needed. This photo came to us in the collection of Edna Syrett (Nelson) and we assume the photo was taken by her brother Charlie Syrett, a young fellow hired to work on the expansion of Sooke

Sooke Region Museum

Seventy-five years ago this was the view from the schoolyard of Sooke School. The massive barn which once housed oxen is in line with the Mariners Village development of today. School, which went from three classrooms to four. Teachers in 1940-41 were Wilfred Orchard, Annie Acreman, Florence Horne and Mrs. J Hodnett. Things were a lot more primitive in those days, for instance at the left of the fir tree in the photo, there was a flagpole, and generally when we got to school the day after Halloween we’d find the school’s gate had been hauled up the flagpole. Notice the gate is missing from the front fence alongside the bicycle shed. One of the exciting days of those school years was when Sooke’s local bounty hunter, Tony Sullivan, drove his truck up to the gate so we schoolchildren could see the giant cougar in the back. He’d been called to shoot a marauding cougar and in those days before TV, this was a viewing

Our View

Sooke’s issues are not Victoria’s issues WE SAY:

The Sooke community does not have to pay for something it may not even need.

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that affordable housing and homelessness is a problem in Greater Victoria. This summer’s Grant Manor fire brought it home to Sooke quite dramatically when 20 or so people were left displaced after the fire. It took a good few months to find appropriate housing. Yet, Victoria city council’s hopes of having the Capital Regional District borrow $50 million to house the homeless seems like it’s throwing the baby out with the bath.

The solution works perfectly for Victoria. After all, so much of the homeless problem is situated in the downtown core. But it will do little to help outlying areas such as Sooke. Last winter when the emergency weather shelter system was activated across the region, only three people from Sooke area were helped. That in a nutshell should tell you about the degree of homelessness in our backyard. “The underlining issue here is the absence of appropriate support from the senior levels of government,

such region-wide decisions. If Victoria city council wants to solve a regional issue, it should look at homelessness in its community. But if it wants the CRD to buck up $50 million, it should be put in the hands of local communities to deal with their own housing issues. It comes down to local decision for local people.

such as the federal government, who has been out of housing for almost 20 years now, and the provincial government that hasn’t focused on the challenges here on the Island,” said MLA John Horgan. He’s right, of course. There are more important matters in Sooke to focus on. Victoria’s so-called solution to homelessness only helps Victoria, it doesn’t take into account that other communities – Sooke in particular – are their own entities, and should be treated as such when it comes to

Carbon tax on gas-guzzlers fails to fire a spark

Octavian Lacatusu

This wasn’t my first all-candidates meeting rodeo. Last time it involved some swearing. I think even a shoe was thrown across the room. Last week’s meeting at EMCS was far more civilized, expected, with Mayor Maja Tait at the helm as moderator. The hot topic that night was reducing the carbon footprint that we leave daily the very moment we turn an engine on. A whole bunch of piein-the-sky (albeit good) ideas were tossed around, including the idea of taxing carbon and feeding back that cash into Canadians’ pockets. Sounds great, but how will that get back into my pocket? Will that taxation (which, for my seal-clubbing, gas-burning ‘93 Explorer is probably

close to execution) roll back into my pocket as incentives to switch over to an electric car? I seriously doubt it, though maybe if I gave in to the same kind of wishful thinking of politicians, I’d have an electric car by now. Classic case in point was a comment by Green candidate Frances Litman, which of course, gathered high applause. “We’re realistic, we understand we’re using oil and gas every day and we have plastics, but we need to ween ourselves from this extract and export system that we’re in.” While I wholeheartedly agree with Ms. Litman’s statement, again, I keep wondering, how are we going to ween ourselves from those sources? Reality is, we cannot just simply displace

millions of drivers who rely on their petrol vehicles without giving them an alternative they can actually afford. Bottom line is, both electrics and hybrids are still hilariously expensive. Telsa has made huge leaps in the last 10 years or so in regards to its development of the Model S, its drivetrain and battery range, but the cheapest model is still $65K. Sure, a new, even cheaper model will be available this fall for the rest of us mortals, but it’s still going to cost a minimum of $30K. You could even look at the Nissan Leaf, a full electric hatchback, or the Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius, both of which still rely on petrol engines to recharge their batteries.

No doubt, all great alternatives, but who can afford them? You want to encourage people going towards alternatives such as hybrids or plug-in electrics? Bring the cost down. Bring the taxes down. Put the incentives on steroids and make them in the thousands. Lower the apple to the rest of us mortals who cannot afford $500 a month for a new car, let alone a hybrid or electric. Bold promises may bring thundering applause, but solid delivery that you can actually feel in your pocket is what makes the real difference. ••• Octavian Lacatusu is a News Mirror reporter.

OPINION

WE ASKED YOU: Should politicians be allowed to set their own wages?

Sure. You get what you pay for. Also, it should be upped for everybody. Krystal Schumann Sooke

No. It should be governed by a separate agency. Britney Ceraldi Sooke

If they want a raise, they have to provide a reason as to why. Lorien Arnold Sooke

Absolutely not.That’s ridiculous. How can they justify that. Mark Smith Sooke

Readers’ letters: Politics, schools Re: School work crew axe trees due to misunderstanding (News, Sept. 16) It’ll be nice to see outdoor areas around the school developed for actual use by students, in addition to being beautified. There is a lot that could be done around our schools to help kids better enjoy being outdoors, and it wouldn’t cost much in the grand scheme of things. Lorien Arnold Sooke

Conservative candidate a no-show at debate I was at the all-candidates meeting on Sept. 16 at Edward Milne Community School. I was one of several folks who asked where was Shari Lukens, the conservative candidate. We really didn’t get any kind of answer. I was told by one candidate that she would attend the all-

candidates meeting hosted by the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce in October. Bill Wilson Sooke

Guide dogs, not watch dogs needed in Ottawa We don’t need “watch dogs” in the House of Commons. If any dogs are elected, let’s vote for guide dogs. These are dogs that know how to take care of people and try to steer them away from trouble when they make bad decisions. One would hope a party in opposition could influence change for the better not hold government to bad policy promises. Although the NDP has not yet formed the government, as part of a minority government, they ushered in employment insurance, family allowance, medicare and universal oldage pensions. When the dust settles on October 20, Canadians want good government. We want the party or parties that form government have the policies that will

carry Canada forward in good financial, social, and environmental health. Vote for the candidates who can get things done for you whether in government or in opposition. Why vote for the candidates who see themselves as referees and not strong players? Heather Phillips Sooke

• Avoid putting out your garbage out ahead of garbage day. • Keep compost and all garbage, especially greasy stuff, all sealed tight, or, if necessary, inside a garage or location where the bear cannot smell it. Remember, their noses can smell something from 2 km away. • Encourage neighbours to follow suit. One person not keeping track of their attractants puts an entire neighbourhood at risk. • Fruits. Bears like fruits. A lot. So be sure to clean up any apples or berries or other fruit that may be ripening in your yard, as the bears will come otherwise. If concerned what to do with the fruit, or if you cannot remove the fruit yourself, contact Wild Wise Sooke and a cleanup effort can be arranged.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

644

The disciples have been walking with Jesus, they have seen miracles, they have shared many different experiences, but it seems that they failed to understand what Jesus was saying to them. But the funny thing is they do not understand him, they do not pay attention to his teachings. This is not new we do not listen to him, and we avoid hearing his voice calling us to listen to him and follow him in God’s project for mankind. In the way through Galilee the disciples had an animated conversation. After Jesus asked them, ‘”What were you arguing about on the way.” (Mk 9:33) The disciples were embarrassed to tell Jesus about their conversation, they were thinking of God’s kingdom, and in the power and prestige they would get when they come to power. Jesus has told them about charity, fidelity solidarity, equality and surrender. That was the argument that entertained them along the way, they were ashamed to answer Jesus and tell him what he wanted to know. It is not our discussion today? Are those not our same thoughts? It will be that this is the same shame for we do not want to approach the church? Could it be that we are ashamed to tell Jesus, ‘Lord I want to follow you but I cannot assume any ministry, but I want to be first because I come every Sunday to church?’ Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be first, must be last of all and servant of all” (Mk 9:35).

Sookie builds 30,000-piece Lego castle just for fun Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

One bright early morning, passerbys around the Speedstick noticed something unusual standing tall behind the pane of glass – a massive yellow castle built entirely out of Lego, complete with its own monster that keeps it under guard. This is the work of Guy Rimmer, an East Sook resident with a penchant for Lego, medieval buildings and architecture, who just happened to drop by the coffee shop and asked if they would like to display his stuff. Thankfully, they said yes. And since he’s been collecting Lego for 30 years, you can imagine he’s got quite a lot of it. It’s not surprising to hear then that this particular castle has around 30,000 pieces. Rimmer says it started out as a hobby, dedicating a couple of hours every day after work for three years. “It’s hard sometimes to count the pieces because often you end up building something six times to make it look right by taking away pieces, adding, taking away, adding again,” he says, adding similar in a way to how a sculptor will start with a crude hunk of rock and chips away at it to mould it into shape. Funny thing is, he didn’t even intend to build it as a castle, but as a little three-stories-tall “gladiator

academy” of sorts, where gladiators would get hardened before heading into the arena – as such, the structure takes shape more so as a fortress; not to necessarily keep people out, but to keep them in. As such, there are numerous dungeons, one in which a terrifying creature (known as Knuckles) haunts up and down. There are also several mess halls, gathering areas, and dwellings for little Lego people to walk around in — and all of it is built to be fullyaccessible. “I like building full-size with Lego people, makes it a bit more realistic and detailed,” Rimmer says, adding little things such as the building’s big column pillars going up the corners is what gives it the distinctive design. “I make sure there’s lots of long lines in there so you get the shadows, makes it look taller.” The rock formation on which the building stands on is a piece of work even by itself, as every rock face of the cliff had to be randomized and “built to look wild” like Mother Nature. If you look close enough, you’ll even notice a cave system cut into the side of the cliff — there you will find a lowly creature sitting by the fire (which actually lights up). SEE LEGO • PAGE 24

Awareness film night returns to EMCS Awareness Film Night will open its 21st season with the film The Yes Men Are Revolting on Oct. 7. Over the last 20 years prankster activists The Yes Men have staged hoaxes to draw international attention to “corporate crimes” against humanity and the environment. Armed with nothing but thrift store suits and a lack of shame these iconoclastic revolutionaries lie their way into business events and government functions to expose the dangers of letting greed run

our world. The Yes Men Are Revolting is their third film.

“These iconoclastic revolutionaries lie their way into business events and government functions to expose the dangers of letting greed run our world.” -Awareness Film Night

More than the first two films,

The Yes Men Are Revolting reveals the real people behind the ruses. Soul-searching and weariness with the apparent lack of meaningful change in the world are explored, but at its heart lies a hopeful message about fighting for change: 1. Never give up; 2. Doing something is better than doing nothing; 3. Use wigs; 4. Regular people can make a change; 5. Collaborate. Film will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Edward Milne Community School theatre. Admission is by donation.

LEGO: Next castle will be even bigger FROM PAGE 23

Rimmer’s yellow castle is part of a larger collection of dioramas he’s built, including a Roman gathering (or Rome in a box, as he calls it) complete with a marketplace, even a Christmas diorama complete with everything from the tree itself to the very punchbowl. There’s even a crane involved, measuring up to several feet in length. But as his inspiration come from within, it also originates from the outside: his job as an equipment operator gives him a good idea of how structures are built, and how architecture works. And surprise, surprise, he’s building another castle – four times bigger than its yellow predecessor -- and red. Apparently this one will be built on the side

of a sheer cliff (which he will also build from scratch) similarly to the Poenari Castle (known as the original Dracula castle) in Romania that sits on top of a sheer cliff, albeit Rimmer’s rendition will be much more dramatic. Next up is a two-metre medieval chair that has more than 40,000 pieces in it – something that would put the Iron Throne of Game of Thrones lore to shame and would undoubtedly belong to no one else but a royal king or queen. And yes, you can actually sit in it. Rimmer hopes to gather around a dozen creations and put on his own Lego show/expo for all those Lego Sookies out there, whether it be at an art gallery or school. “I’d like to charge admission and donate to somebody, do a fundraiser type thing,” he said. news@sookenewsmirror.com

Dianne Margaret Campbell RN, BSN, CD

Dianne passed away on September 13, 2015. Predeceased by her mother Pearl; remembered by her father Art Hopper, husband Arnie, son David, daughter-in-law Shawna and grandchildren Jared and Lexi who will cherish her memory. Dianne was born on Remembrance Day, 1947 in Mission, BC. She completed her RN training at the Royal Columbian Hospital (New Westminster) in 1969. Upon graduation she enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy as a Nursing Sister and was posted â&#x20AC;&#x153;overseasâ&#x20AC;? to Esquimalt. Her military and civilian nursing career spanned 40 years and included general duty, extended and complex care and nursing administration at a variety of Victoria hospitals and with the Canadian Naval Reserve retiring with the rank of Lt. Commander. In the late 1970s Dianne decided to pursue a degree in nursing and was amongst the first graduates of the University of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bachelor in Science (Nursing) program. Through-out her life she was a volunteer. After moving to Otter Point in 1995 she continued her community service with Contact â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the medical equipment loan cupboard, the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, Sooke Region Museum, Canada Blood Services and Otter Point Emergency Services. Reading, crosswords, cooking, feeding the birds, pickling and jamming were her leisure activities. Bravo Zulu. The family expresses our thanks to the many who helped Dianne through a difficult 4 years of medical challenges, including Dr. Vally and the skillful and caring medical staff at the BC Cancer Clinic and VGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially S4A & S7A. Dianne will continue to live in the memory of her friends and family. At her request the family invites the pleasure of your company for a farewell, anytime between Noon and 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 3rd at the Sooke Legion. Dianne requested no flowers. In lieu she suggested a donation to Wild ARC - the wildlife rehabilitation centre in Metchosin.

The Bra Lady Is Coming To Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably seen on Oprah or read in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to SALT SPRING ISLAND, TUESDAY, SEPT. 29 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.â&#x20AC;?

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: â&#x20AC;˘ Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? â&#x20AC;˘ Does your bust line â&#x20AC;&#x153;bounceâ&#x20AC;? when you walk while wearing your â&#x20AC;&#x153;everydayâ&#x20AC;? bra? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you overflow the cup of your bra? â&#x20AC;˘ Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks, or do they slip off of your shoulders? â&#x20AC;˘ Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? â&#x20AC;˘ Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one (JEUNIQUE, NUTRIMETICS, COLESCE) could be the way to go.

Briefly Sooke Loggers record first win Sooke Loggers recorded their first victory of the season Friday with a 5-2 win over GH Bayside Tigers in Vancouver Island Soccer League Division 2 play at Fred Milne Park. Mike McKay, Doug Armstrong, Tayler Johnson, Ben McCullough and Dylan James Forsyth scored for Sooke. The Loggers record improves to 1-1-0. Andrew Brinkworth and Kyle Dirkie potted markers for the Tigers, who fall to 0-2-0 Sooke’s Raj Basi was the game MVP.

Youth hit gridiron in big numbers Football must be in the blood of Sooke youth. Several youth play in at least two different leagues throughout the fall under the umbrella of Vancouver Island Community Football Association. The two most prominent leagues are the Victoria Spartans Football Association and the Greater Victoria Minor Football Association Teams in the GVMFA include the Warhawks, Outlaws, Hitman, Cowichan Bulldogs and Victoria Spartans. The Victoria Renegades junior Bantams play in the Vancouver/Mainland league. The teams practice twice a week with games on Saturdays or Sundays. Checkout victoriafootball. ca.

Midgets eye provincial prize

Thunderbirds hungrier than ever to return to B.C. hockey championships Kevin Laird Sooke News Mirror

The Sooke Thunderbirds want to take their success from last season and go a step further. The Midget A hockey club won the Vancouver Island Hockey Association championship and went on to place third in the provincial finals. “Last year we weren’t supposed to do anything, and we surprised everyone,” said coach Kevin Berger. This year the club is hungry for more and is eyeing a provincial title. The Thunderbirds lost three veterans over the summer, but have been bolstered with five

rookies who are expected to fill the spots both offensively and defensively. “I’m very excited this year,” Berger said Sunday following the team’s 6-4 win over the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies. “We have an awesome team.” The Thunderbirds will be led on and off the ice by goaltender Max Clouser, 17, who Berger calls “a rock,” but he’s quick to point out that every player will need to contribute for the team to be successful. “It’s about the collective talent. We’re only as strong as our weakest player,” he said. This weekend, the Thunderbirds will play in a placement round-robin tournament to determine which Tier 3 division they’ll play in

this year. Last year the club played in Division 2. Three players from last year’s attend tryouts for junior B teams, but have since returned, although they were listed as affiliated players, meaning they could be called up through the season to junior B. It was a relief for Berger when the players returned because before then he was unsure whether Sooke could ice a Midget rep team. Berger hopes Sooke will get behind this year’s team, which plays at the highest level of hockey in the region. “These are elite athletes. These are kids Sooke should get behind and be involved with.”

Sooke Thunderbirds split a pair of games against Island rivals last weekend. On Sunday, the Thunderbirds topped Juan de Fuca Grizzlies 6-4, with the offense being shared by six different players. Scoring for Sooke were Tyson Friesen, Nin Dougall, James Vincee, Carter Navarrette, Dexter Kennedy and Jaden Lawrence. Port Alberni Bulldogs visited Seaparc Leisure Complex arena Saturday and edged the local side 2-1. Ty Didman got the lone Sooke goal.

Soccer squads claim big weekend victories Soccer season kicked off for all youth players last weekend in Sooke. The minis U7/8 and U9 players had assessments Saturday morning to form teams. Great numbers in these age groups means soccer registration is on the rise in Sooke! U11 boys whipped Juan De Fuca a whopping 11-0 on Saturday. U13 boys played their first full field game and the big field didn’t deter their soccer skill – they beat Bays 4-2. U14 girls kicked off their season with a 2-0 win over Gorge this weekend. Sooke’s goals were scored by Jaylin Shaw, assisted by Allana Garat and Brittney Homer. The second goal was scored by Homer and assisted by Holly Conwright. The U15 Boys started their season on Saturday with a convincing 6-2 win over Cowichan. Max Hadrich scored five times for Sooke. Hunter Broadhurst had a solid effort in goal. U15 Girls lost a tough match 4-1

Sooke O40’s has completed two games so far in the 2015/16 season with respectful results so far. Game one result ended in a tie with Sooke in control of the match throughout the wed night game. Game two was a hard fought battle as many team members were away midweek, but with the

game format from SVICSA promoting fair recreational play Lakehill filled the remaining 3 Sooke positions. In the end Sooke succumbed to a 2-3 loss. Sooke O40’s encourages all players 39 and up wishing to apply to contact Sooke Soccer Club especially those with keeper experience.

Bears: ‘We’ve got to clean up our garbage’ FROM PAGE 1

Grant Road and Maple Avenue areas in particular have become favourite hangouts for bears, including the park behind the Thrift Store which once served as natural corridor for these animals. “People are seeing two or three bears at a time, so what we’re trying to do is get the word out to people so they can better manage their attractions,” Read said, adding that in the last week alone there have been three car accidents in Sooke involving bears. “We’ve got to clean up our garbage, we need to clean up our fruit, we have to get rid of these attractions, otherwise they’ll just keep coming back and simply won’t want to leave,” she said. Conservation officer Rick Dekelder added bears have no interest in messing around in people’s yards, other than food. “Bears are opportunistic creatures, so if they come into an area, they are looking for food, but if they have to work at something, then that kind of forces them to do what they do, which is look someplace else for a more natural source of food,” he said. Just recently,

conservation officers set up a bear trap across the street from Vienna Bakery due to a large bear who moved into the area due to easy access to fruit trees and garbage.

Grand Cook Off a shared effort among many local organizations Donations of fruits, vegetables and canning jars needed It is always fundraising season, is it not? The dedicated members of the Sooke Region Volunteer Centre are always on the lookout for opportunities to support volunteerism in the Sooke region (Beecher Bay to Port Renfrew). In 2014 they organized the Grand Cook Off as a shared fundraiser for participating organizations. This year, Grand Cook-Off II will have volunteers canning jams and preserves, as well as assembling dry-goods for “recipes in a jar.” Again the resulting products will be sold, with proceeds being

shared between participating organizations. SRVC is looking to the community to donate any excess fruit and vegetables, as well as surplus canning jars, to help with this fundraiser. What we make will be determined by what is available.

“It really was a collaborative, busy day and we learned a lot from our first event.” – Marlene Barry This type of group fundraisers is largely possible due to the support provided by students participating in Project Serve a joint effort of the University of Victoria and Volunteer Victoria. Through this program extra hands will make the work much lighter for all.

The apples are ripe in Sooke. To celebrate, Sooke Region Food CHI Society will host the second annual Apple Fest this Sunday (Sept. 27) at Sunriver Community Gardens. The event will be part celebration, part education about apples, said organizer Phoebe Dunbar. “It’s a harvest celebration,” said Dunbar. “It’s a celebration of the orchard.” The day-long event will include apple tastings, workshops, apple goodies, music, art, the sale of apples (of course), trees, pie auction and vendors. Sunriver Community Gardens started its orchard in 2011 when a Sooke resident donated several trees. Four years later the orchard has produced a bounty crop of more than 15 varieties of apples. This crop will be sold at Apple fest and some fruit will be donated to the local food bank and crisis centre. Horticulturist Glen Thelin, who volunteers at the orchard, said the goal of the festival is to sustain the orchard with the purchase of posts, wire and deer fencing. “We need to protect [the orchard], look after it and sustain it,” Thelin said. “The success of this orchard means everyone is going to benefit.” Apple Fest takes place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. The Sunriver Community Garden is located at 2380 Phillips Rd. klaird@blackpress.ca
