On Saturday, Septem-ber 27, 2014, the District of Sooke celebrated the official opening of “Wadams Way”, a newly constructed east-west connector road that will help to ease traffic con-gestion through the Sooke town centre and includes a safe and accessible multi-use trail.

The district received a $250,000 grant through Brit-ish Columbia’s Community Recreation Program to help build the Wadams Way multi-use trail adjacent to the new road, which improves pedestrian linkages through the town centre. The total cost for the trail construc-tion was approximately $450,000.

“The completion of this new multi-use trail is great news,” said Coralee Oakes,

Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment. “The accessible fea-tures of this trail give this community an inviting place for residents and visitors to tread, while supporting healthy, active living oppor-tunities for British Columbi-ans of all ages and abilities.”

The project scope included approximately 500 metres of new road between Church Road and Otter Point Road, including road connections and related infrastructure to Townsend Road, Anna Marie Road and the Sooke Child, Youth & Family Centre. Approxi-mately 700 metres of three metre wide paved multi-use trail was constructed along Church Road and along the new Wadams Way. Environ-mentally friendly LED street

lighting has been installed alongside the trail as well as a bioswale and 16 new street trees to complement the existing greenery.

“It’s wonderful to see this project’s completion,” said Mayor Wendal Milne. “One of Council’s strategic pri-orities is to make the Town Centre a vibrant, clean and well-maintained node, and with the completion of the Wadams Way connector, we have improved transpor-tation flow and pedestrian safety throughout the Town Centre.”

The provincial $30-million Community Recreation Pro-gram was developed to help local governments meet the costs of capital projects that make communities health-ier, more active places in which to live.

The event invites children around the world to design and build creations using cardboard and recy-cled materials.

Inspired by the short film, ‘Caine’s Arcade’,  the Global Cardboard Challenge is an annual event pre-sented by the Imagina-tion Foundation that celebrates child cre-ativity and the role communities can play in fostering it. On Satur-day, October 11, 2014, communities will come together to play!

Registration is now open for the 2014 Global Cardboard Challenge. Join with organizers all over the world, and

help children unleash their natural creative powers.

Participating Van-couver Island Regional Library branches will be providing a venue and materials for the children’s event in the following locations: Chemainus, Comox, Courtenay, Cowichan, Nanaimo Harbourfront, Nanaimo North, Port Alberni, and Sooke. Sooke is running the program independently of other agencies.

Children and com-munity members are invited to come together to celebrate the creativity and imagination of children around the world - and come up with awesome creations!

Kasper to run for councilKeep Sooke on track of steady progress to a sustainable future

Rick Kasper would like to see the next Sooke Council continue its progress delivering on needed services and infrastructure without huge tax increases.

“We’ve made great strides getting our fis-cal house in order while providing more funding for roads, sidewalks, police and fire services, all without huge tax increases,” Kasper said.

“I’ll be running again for council to continue that progress. This is not the time to go back to past practices of big tax increases and build-ing more bureaucracy. We’ve taken steps to get better value for tax dollars and made changes to give better service to our custom-ers. There is still more to be done to keep this steady progress on track to a sustainable and prosperous future for the people, ser-vices and businesses of Sooke. Taxpayers tell me they don’t want local government view-ing them as an ATM machine.

“We shifted spending

to be more in line with community priorities: increased fire protec-tion and police bud-gets, invested in new road construction, new trails, sidewalks and park improvements, added a new honorar-ium for volunteer fire-fighters, continued sup-port for local commu-nity and volunteer orga-nizations, with some of the budget set aside for a community facility. We accomplished this with zero tax increase the first year, 1.59 per cent the second year and only 0.2 per cent increase this year.

“We brought in more transparent and open processes. We worked to get better value out of your hard earned tax dollars with new con-

tracting policies that are fair and emphasize local suppliers to help create and keep jobs in Sooke.

“I have been hon-oured to serve with council colleagues Berger, Haldane, Pear-son, Reay, Tait and Mayor Milne and work with the District’s pro-fessional and knowl-edgeable staff to make the tough changes and do what we can afford to put us on this track. I am very proud of our accomplishments over the past three years and I hope voters will choose to see us con-tinue to move forward.”

Rick Kasper has a long history of service to the community and a track record of deliver-ing for Sooke. On Sooke council from 2011-2014 he chaired the Finance and Administration Committee leading Council’s fiscal respon-sibility initiatives and served on the Commu-nity Grants Committee. Before that he served as councillor from 2005-2008 and as MLA for the area from 1991-2001.

Down but not outArnold Lim/Pirjo Raits Black Press

The West Shore will be abuzz with the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock arriving on Wednesday (Oct. 1).

Day 11 of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock brings the team of riders back to Sooke including Sooke resi-dent and West Shore RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Wright.

Wright won’t be rid-ing into town, however, having gone down in a multi-rider crash in the fog between Ucluelet and Tofino on Sunday. He suffered serious enough injuries, includ-ing a reported sepa-rated shoulder, to ren-der him unable to ride but is staying with the team for the remainder of the ride.

On Tuesday Wright said he was doing fine and the crash generated more attention than he was wanting.

“Finishing the tour is the most impor-tant thing to me. It’s a team effort and we’ve trained together for seven months. I’m very excited to be finishing with the team,” said Wright.

He also said the injury is not as bad as they once thought.

It was family that was on his mind when he received a special sur-prise on his way into Ucluelet, where a tap on the shoulder caught the veteran cop off guard.

“Standing at the top of Hydro Hill and reflect-ing on people who have been affected by cancer, I was standing and think-ing about (family),” he said. “It was a beautiful and calm moment and I got this tap on my shoul-der and I turn around and there is my lovely daughter standing there. There couldn’t have been a better time, at a

time I needed a hug she was there to give one to me. It was definitely one of the highlights of my Tour.”

His time has been especially rewarding, he said, because he has been able to do it with his family by his side.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do this without their support. The whole process has taken me away from them for extended peri-ods of time. Knowing they support me and have helped me along this process has helped me be stronger, but be a better person as a result of that.”

His daughter, Sarah, said surprising him on tour and being there with her father along-side the journey has been a gratifying expe-rience she hopes to contribute to as her father joins the team in the final stretch.

“I look forward to see-ing him as he makes his way through (to) the finale (at Spirit Square) Oct. 3. I am really proud of him. We both have a lot of family members and friends who have been affected by can-

cer, so to be able to spend so much time fundraising for people affected by cancer just makes me very proud to see he’s doing some-thing like this,” she said. “I’m proud to be able to call him my dad and he has been doing an amazing job.”

To date Wright has raised more than $30,000 and said it is enough to send 20 chil-dren to Camp Good Times. He credits Jane Beddows, Donna Fra-ser and his wife Alisa.

Coenzyme Q 10 is a compound found naturally in every cell of your body. It is involved in the making of an important molecule known as atP which serves as the cell’s major energy source. Coenzyme Q l 0 boosts one’s energy, enhances the immune system and acts as an anti-oxidant (substances that remove cell damaging compounds from your body.) Certain medications have been known to lower the levels of Coenzyme QIo in your body. the most notable class of drugs is the cholesterol lowering ‘statins’.

If you need to check the type of cholesterol lowering medication you are taking, talk to the Peoples Pharmacy staff. We can recommend an appropriate dose of Coenzyme Qlo for you.

Did You Know? I have seen 3 bears in the last week and a client of mine saw a baby cougar. It is definitely Fall out there. Lots of berries, ap-ples and the fish will be coming up the river soon. Wear bright clothing, make lots of noise, be smart out there…. and do not get between a mother and her cub!

Local foodies head to Terra MadreLocal foodies head to Italy for Terra Madre and Salone de Gusto

Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

The Slow Food Move-ment may be a rela-tively new thing in Can-ada but it has been a way of life for much of the world before it had a name.

The Slow Food Move-ment was started in 1986 by Carlo Petrini and is now on an inter-national scale with over 100,000 members in 150 countries. It is pro-moted as an alternative to fast food and strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine and encouraged farm-ing of plants, seeds and livestock characteristic of the local ecosystem.

Local chef Oliver Kienast and his wife Brooke Fader are Slow Food enthusiasts and work hard at bringing pleasure back to the table.

Kienast, is a chef at the Sooke Harbour House and Fader is the cellar master. Together they enthusiastically promote Slow Food and find a lot of support in Sooke and on Vancou-ver Island. This Octo-ber they are traveling to Turin, Italy to take part in Terra Madre. Terra Madre is held every two years and is a mega-conference for food, chefs, farm-ers, fishers, eaters and advocates of all those things.

Fader calls it a “food festival” and they are going to represent the convivial of Vancou-ver Island and the Gulf

Islands.“We’re really excited

to steal away for this trip,” said Fader.

2014 will mark the tenth Salone del Gusto and Terra  Madre, with this year’s events bring-ing together more than 1,000 exhibitors from 130 countries, includ-ing over 300 Slow Food Presidia, chefs, farm-ers, fishers, eaters, authors, advocates, academics, artisans, international repre-sentatives from wine and gastronomy, and Slow  Food’s network of small-scale produc-ers and food communi-ties on six continents. The packed program of conferences, taste workshops, classes and more combine to reveal the impacts our eating and consumption hab-its have on the welfare of the planet’s eco-systems, people and animals. Terra  Madre

refers to the confer-ence or world meeting of food communities to address topics such as: climate change, popu-lation growth, animal welfare, food waste, land grabbing, and much more.

Fader had for years nominated other peo-ple to attend Terra Madre and this will be the first time she was nominated. Terra Madre is celebrating the Year of the Small Family Farm in conjunc-tion with the United Nations. (The Sooke Fall Fair celebrated

the same thing at this year’s fair).

Going along with Fader and Kienast is Dr. Jenny Horn head of the agriculture school at Vancouver Island Uni-versity, who is also a a farmer; and Dr. John Volupe, a scientist with the School of Environ-mental Studies at UVic.

Each of the countries attending is expected to bring the traditional, endangered and indig-enous foods they most identify with.

For tasting Fader is bringing along Vancou-ver Island salt, Moon-

struck Cheese and Venturi-Schultze des-sert wines, all products from the Island. They aren’t endangered at all but they are foods they identify with.

One of the events they are looking for-ward to is the 100 tast-ing workshops. Fader and Kienast have signed up for six and these include such things as tea in Japan, eating bugs and insects and Loire Valley wine-makers.

Slow Fish Canada is also participating and will participate in meet-ings and workshops.

Mostly they will be there to network and renew their passion and enthusiasm for the Slow Food Movement and what it means.

“We are always bat-tling the perception that slow food is expen-sive - it just means buy local first,” said Fader. “We’re really going to be inspired, it’s been a huge dream and it feels great to be chosen as a delegate. Oliver’s been nominated as a chef.”

She said it is impor-tant for chefs to support farmers and in Europe they have been doing that for ever. She also mentioned the concept of “traceability” where a person can trace where the products they buy come from. She used David Evans at Stick in the Mud as an example of someone who knows and sup-ports the farmer who grows the coffee beans Evans uses.

“It’s a powerful con-cept,” she said, “and worth the price.”

Pioneer: Isabella Weir MuirFounding pioneers in Sooke faced tragedy

One could hardly have a name more sig-nificant to early Van-couver Island immi-grant history than to be both a Muir and a Weir. Muir Creek instantly comes to mind, as does Weir’s Beach.

Scottish John Muir, his wife Ann Miller Muir and four sons, Andrew, John, Robert and Michael, arrived in Victoria aboard the Hudson’s Bay Com-pany vessel Harpooner in 1849. Two years later, after a period of time with the Hudson’s Bay Company working with coal on the north east coast of Vancou-ver Island, the family had settled in Sooke. It is the initial Muir family holdings that we know today as Woodside Farm, on West Coast Road as one drives beyond downtown Sooke.

Robert Weir, also a Scot, arrived in Victoria aboard the Hudson’s Bay Company’s barque Norman Morison in Jan-

uary 1853. A widower, he was accompanied by several children including his 16-year-old daughter Isabella. A year later the young girl was to become the bride of Andrew, eldest son of the Muirs.

While three of the Muir sons settled qui-etly with their par-ents in Sooke in 1851, Andrew appeared to

be more restless of spirit, and looking for a more cosmopolitan life in what was then called Fort Victoria. He met the young girl from Scotland, Isabella, whose photo (above) had been taken before she set sail for her five-month long ocean jour-ney to the new world.

It was no surprise that a marriage fol-

lowed, and the two were able to enjoy a very brief life together before tragedy struck them.

Isabella died in 1856, leaving a new-born babe. Meanwhile, that was also the year that Andrew had been appointed to the posi-tions of Sheriff of Vic-toria and the first Ser-geant of Arms of the first House of Assem-bly.

While the Muir baby, also called Isabella, was brought up by her rela-tives, the grief was too much for Andrew, and reports tell us a very sad story, that he took to drink and passed away alone in a Victo-ria hotel room in 1859.

Council job is not an easy one

Do we really need tsunami signs in Sooke?District of Sooke council is considering replacing

the tsunami signs which were taken down back in 2007 amidst protests from B&B operators and real estate companies. They were placed in low lying areas around the water, places where waves might arise in the event of a tsunami. The reason for removal back then was public pressure. The reason for putting them back is not from public pressure, but rather public perception of the dangers of a tsunami. Opinions change and the signs remind us where we live.

It would be nice if council would stick to the resolutions they made. Sure, the council is different than back in 2007, but going back and forth on issues creates nothing but the perception that the decisions made in the past were bad ones.

On Monday night, there was an information session for people thinking about running for public office. Apparently there were some new faces in the room. Could it be that we will have new people running for council? That, would be a good thing providing there were a few familiar faces left at the council table. Which ones? The public will decide who stays and who goes. What needs to be remembered is the record of each of the councillors and how they have conducted themselves when serving the citizens of Sooke.

We’re sure the consultant who led the session reminded the hopefuls that their duty is to serve the people of Sooke, to be honest and ethical and to put their own or their “friend’s” interests away. Doing the best for all of Sooke is what a councillor should aim for. It’s not as easy as it seems because favours often need to be repaid and special interest groups need to be remembered. Let’s just have a council that works for all of us and not their own interests - after all that would be a conflict of interest wouldn’t it?

ANOTHER VIEW

Imagine for a moment that you own your own company. You have several employees on contract for their services and although your business has some debt, year-to-year you manage to break even. One day, four of your contract employees for the past three years, approach you six weeks before their contract is up for renewal, and request to attend a training confer-ence at your expense. They tell you the conference would be invaluable; they will get opportunities to learn new skills and network with a lot of people in similar jobs as well as some influential people. You think to yourself, sounds good, might benefit your company, but you find yourself feeling conflicted, these have been pretty good employees, but there may be better ones, and their contract is set to expire in six weeks, and you have not decided for sure that you will be renewing their contract. Do you send one of them, some of them, all of them or none of them, do you wait until you have decided to renew their contracts for another term? What do you do?

Well, I can tell you what the tax-payers of Sooke did. As employers of our municipal council, we sent four of our councilors to a week in Whis-tler B.C., expenses paid, to attend the annual Union of B.C. Municipali-ties Conference.

These stewards of our finances and our elected officials for the next six weeks, decided it was a very

worthwhile expense, to have us pay for them to attend this annual con-ference. No, not just one representa-tive from the district, not two, but more than half of our council sought fit to attend this annual gala at our expense.

Now you might say, well, ok, odds are one or two of them stand a good chance of re-election, or maybe more of them, and maybe that is true, but there is one thing for sure, and that is two of the councillors are seeking the mayor’s chair, and there is one guarantee, and that is that one of the two is not going be in public office six weeks from now.

Watching the social media feeds of these councillors, we did learn of one positive outcome amongst all the photo-ops that seemed to be a focus of their attendance. One councillor did brag about the new changes to municipal insurance for non-profits that provide contract services to municipalities that was voted on, but please, I don’t think that Sooke’s vote was the deal breaker on that one.

Perhaps a better plan by council would have been to discuss if there were any important issues requiring Sooke’s attendance, and then elect to send one representative from Sooke to take the council’s concerns to the conference.

Of all the political hype and poli-ticking that occurs around this event, and of all the resolutions that our towns and cities pass at these

conferences (which the provin-cial government seems to ignore), for some reason, we don’t hear the motion from anyone, that the date of this annual conference be moved to some time after the fixed November election date to allow for the new and returning councillors with a fresh mandate to hopefully bring some benefit from these galas. Maybe they could vote to eliminate this system of the quasi farewell party of all the municipal politicians in attendance at the annual UBCM gala week.

So one question that everyone should be asking of their elected officials as we enter the election campaign of 2014, is why did the four councillors find it necessary to attend this conference? How much did it cost us? Will they be report-ing back to the taxpayers of Sooke, the wealth of knowledge they gained from this annual experience so that others may benefit when they are gone? And what did they bring back to Sooke that will be of a direct ben-efit to the Sooke taxpayers in the next six weeks before they may be looking for a new line of work?

Remember, the District of Sooke is our company, and those that chose to run for office, work for us. Hopefully we made the right busi-ness decision for our company and invested well.

Road work?This is the third year

walking Sooke Road that every time it rains the intersection at Charters Road floods forcing pedestrians to walk out in the traffic lane, of course it also floods at most of our intersections.

Has anyone in Sooke seen any day-to-day road maintenance on our streets, little things like filling potholes? Street sweeping? Brush clearing?

I am sure we pay taxes for something?

Park is a tiny gem

Flea Beach is a lovely pocket park, and yes, it has trees, as do most parks in British Colum-bia. While one danger-ously leaning tree has been removed, after appropriate approval from the CRD, trees are an integral part of the park.

Unfortunately, Flea Beach has already undergone the depriva-tions of illegal tree-cut-ting on at least two sep-arate occasions, with the area nearest Sea-side Drive effectively clear-cut in secretive, night-time operations. Now the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Pres-ervation Society will have to spend money to remediate this clear-cut swath, in addition to organizing road repair and protecting the rustic quality of this tiny gem of a pub-lic park.

I, along with many others, have already given our personal

input through a pub-lic meeting, personal communications and internet discussions with the Society, which has welcomed all input from the community and beyond.

Kudos to the Shering-ham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society for taking local respon-sibility for this park.

Brightness distracting

The new SEAPARC sign by the highway is very nice. Easily to be seen in daytime.  

At nightime, you don’t notice the deers crossing in front of you on the highway because of the bright-ness of the light from the sign peeling your eyes away. Would that be a new public safety issue?  

Perhaps the bright-ness of light from the sign could be toned down at nighttime? It seems to be on the same brightness level 24/7. You could dim it by 50 per cent at night-time which would still be easily viewable.  Just a thought.

Opposed to radio tower

Re: Telus Radio Com-munications Facility 6683 Sooke Road.

Here we go again! Now Telus is applying for construction of a

new radio communica-tions tower about one-half block away from the last proposal by Alcatel-Lucent at Jim Mitchell’s building. Vir-tually everyone in the room at the June 18,

2012 District of Sooke Land Use and Environ-ment Committee meet-ing seemed appalled at the prospect of blight-ing the ocean views and exposing town center residents and workers to the dan-gers of cell tower radia-tion. Reactions to the poorly thought out location were equally strong from both the public and members of the LUEC commit-tee. Council resolved to send a letter to strongly oppose the proposed town center location of their Monopole Radio Tower. Copies of the letter were to be sent to Industry Canada and four Vancouver Island MPs. How can this be happening again?

On September 22 I called the Sooke plan-ning department and asked my questions and was told to write a letter to Telus stat-ing my opposition to the tower, and that this issue would go to pub-lic consultation and to Council on Oct 27.

Should there not be a policy in place for these matters consid-ering the large number of signatures on the prior petitions and the impressive presenta-tions given regarding health related concerns about radio frequency?

Has the public not already voiced their

opinion? Why does this have to go to pub-lic consultation again? Has the public been properly notified?

Homework needed

Re: “Report card time for local politicians,” Sept. 24. Another View Tom Fletcher.

My track record advocating for cost-effective delivery of municipal services, fis-cal discipline in major infrastructure projects, open government and safety in our communi-ties is clear.

Voters and municipal officials from across the political spectrum value this contribution at Vic-toria City Hall, which has saved taxpayers money, improved pub-lic services and helped to make the municipal-ity more responsive to resident concerns.

Tom Fletcher chooses to ignore this track record in his col-umn, perhaps because he has not attended a single meeting of Victo-ria City Council or the Capital Regional Dis-trict Board since I was elected to represent the people of Victoria three years ago.

Alongside my work on municipal issues, the people of Victoria have asked me to stand up and advocate to the provincial and federal governments on issues they care about that impact our community.

This includes the

threat of oil tankers and pipelines on coastal communities and inte-rior waterways; attacks on our postal system and education sys-tem and the workers who deliver those ser-vices; and the rights of First Nations on issues including sacred burial sites and land develop-ment

The Union of BC Municipalities and the Federation of Cana-dian Municipalities are legitimate channels for dialogue between local government and the provincial and federal governments.

At this year’s UBCM convention, I spoke directly with Premier Clark and her Ministers on matters affecting the City of Victoria and Capital Region, helping to build relationships and find solutions that will benefit the commu-nity that I am elected to represent.

Tom Fletcher is enti-tled to have his views, as I told him during a conversation at UBCM. But I think we would all benefit if he did his homework first.

Residents care

As a Shirley resident, I feel I should comment on the state of Flea Beach. Local residents have for years been concerned about keep-ing this area clean and accessible. I, for one, was greatly relieved to see the Sheringham Point Light House Pres-ervation Society take a more formal role in its management and upkeep.

This involved for-mally petitioning the government for opera-tional oversight and once granted, the Soci-ety held many open meetings to gather insight and hopes from the local residents as to changes and improve-ments that could be made. It is a regular agenda item at soci-ety meetings and con-cerned residents can attend meetings or fol-low any plan progress on their website.

I am sure that the local bears, otters, quail, rabbits and other wild critters, while they do not necessar-ily have access to the internet, also appreci-

ate the efforts of the Lighthouse Society to preserve their natural habitat.

Dr. T. JonesShirley

Disturbing trend

Dale Arden’s feature letter in the Sept. 17 Sooke News Mirror was quite illuminating.  

His cry that, “I have been too busy work-ing to study my zon-ing, and you can imag-ine my surprise when I found.......”  highlights a notable trend in our world, namely a blatant disregard by many cor-porations, some busi-ness owners and even government for pesky laws, court decisions, official plans, estab-lished rules and regula-tions.  

Like the logging com-pany that seemed to be too busy cutting down trees to notice (imag-ine their surprise) that they had denuded the banks of a stream. Or the mining company that was too busy drill-ing for gold to study the legal allowable maxi-

mum level of their tail-ings pond.  

I am thinking that this trend might hold some promise for us all. Imagine the possibili-ties:  “Sorry officer, but I was too busy driving to take note of the posted speed limit.”  Or “Golly, Mr. Building Inspector, I have been too busy building this addition onto my house to study the building codes.”  

We might be on to something here.

J. PhillipsOtter Point

Clearing up the facts

There is a bit of a misleading slant on the situation regarding Flea Beach access.

The Parks Commis-sion studied all options and possible conse-quences of acquiring Flea Beach.

At first it sounded great, until we took our heads out of the clouds realizing with acquiti-sion comes liability.

We do not have the public funding (tax base) or the resources to take on such a huge

risk; so it became nec-essary to be selec-tive and we literally checked out each one for viability.

Flea Beach is one we put a lot of thought into, it is an attractive site, unfortunatley it came with its own problems and conflicts, including trespassing and tree cutting; the situation was escalating.

As a commission, we felt the threat of liabil-ity was too great to take the responsibility of Flea Beach on.

When the lighthouse society approached us, we assisted them by giving them advice and encouragement. We felt it would be more appropriate for a well-known, local group to take over the acquisi-tion of Flea Beach. They would have more suc-cess at managing the access and be more suitable for bringing the exisiting problem-atic situation at Flea Beach to a closure.

On another note, I would suggest that the bear will be the least of your problems.

Bear BuzzRecent Wildlife

Sightings: 

Ella Road residents reported a black bear removing garbage from cans in the neighbour-hood. The bear was taking the garbage into a neighbouring prop-erty. A wooden box was built, in an attempt to store the garbage, but the bear broke open the box.

Store garbage in a secure building until collection day or con-sider purchasing a bear-resistant house-hold container. If you cannot store garbage securely, freeze smelly items and add to the bin only on the morn-ing of collection.

A black bear near Grant Road was in a tree eating apples. Apples left unpicked and ripening fruit left on the ground attracted the bear. The RCMP arrived, just as the ani-mal was leaving the area. 

A large black bear has been sighted in the Wright/McMillan/Fran-cis Road areas.

A resident near Sooke River Road area, reported a black bear dragged a shed, full of garbage, across the yard. The garbage, left there for some time

began to smell, was attracting the bear.  

To change the behav-iour of bears, we must first change our own. Be very diligent about not giving bears access to food, garbage, chick-ens, livestock, fruit trees, dog food, bird feeders, or any other

type of attractant. If we take away the items that attract the bears, our communities will be a safer place for all of us.

This is an effective and proven, long-term solution for reducing human-bear conflicts.

Should you encoun-ter a bear in your neigh-bourhood and it does not see you, simply walk away. If the bear sees you, speak to the bear in a low calm voice and slowly back away. Keep the bear in your field of vision but

do not stare at the bear directly. Directly star-ing at a bear may be interpreted as a sign of aggression. Above all, never approach a wild animal. For more on what to do in the event of an encounter with wildlife or how to pro-tect yourself visit  www.wildsafebc.com.  

Remember, if you see any wildlife activity of concern, please call the 24-hour reporting line for the Conservation Officer Service: 1 -877-952-7277.

Bears are getting ready for winter and are seeking out food sources. They will not hesitate to enter yards and they have been spotted on Wright road, below, in a home with a children’s trampoline and other toys. Be bear aware and don’t attract them to your yard.

Ballot question important

Your editorial re: “Ballot question will be meaningless” com-pletely misses the point of the exercise. Council did indeed send a let-ter to Minister Kent and P.M. Harper in January 2012.  Clearly those lev-els of government were not listening or do not care. Therefore it is completely logical and appropriate to restate the position in stronger terms. In order to do that the council wants to poll the citizens, on whose behalf they will be speaking, as to their wishes. That is called democracy. Obviously there is a price for that; just as there is a price for everything, includ-ing paying their wages, heating the building etc. etc.

It is interesting that the Mayors of Burn-aby and Victoria are speaking out on this issue on behalf of their electorate. In fact the City of Victoria has been granted ‘inter-vener’ status. The CBC

reported that Victoria will be having a pub-lic meeting on that very question (On the Island, 29 September 2014). I imagine there might be some costs entailed in that meet-ing; however those cit-ies are more concerned with the process of democracy than on the minimal costs that were suggested.

The editor should be proud of Sooke coun-cil’s bold stand and not lose sight of what is really at stake in this issue. That indeed would be ‘common sense’.

Marilyn SundeenSooke

ValuesOver there a small

man brags that his armies could conquer a neighbouring country in two weeks. Closer to home a consortium begs to lay obscene pipes across British Columbia for money.

And then there are those passionate about educating the next gen-eration, or seeking the

causes and cures of debilitating diseases, or are tweaking the latest version of an interplan-etary rover.

As a wise man once told me, “It’s all about values my friend, val-ues!”

Barry WhitingSooke

Just change the law

Rule of law is very important, as Gail Hall points out in her ram-bling letter, but what to do when the law is a fool, and the collective becomes tyranny?

If Mr. Arden is cor-rect in suggesting, as I understand his let-ter, that some use of his property pre-dates the present bylaw, then he is the victim of partial confiscation. The proper question is whether or not activ-ity on the property is of significant harm to other people. So sig-nificant smoke or run-off, or release of toxic components, or high noise level, would be

improper. That would probably violate spe-cific laws as well as be subject to tort action. Yes, some people get lazy – as a fence com-pany did in failing to clean the street in Lang-ford that their trucks were making dusty and muddy. But I read Arden claiming he runs a good operation.

Since there is a law in place, why can’t Sooke get its act together and quickly change the law to be more sensible? Apparently control freaks object to that.

Meanwhile the gov-ernments of Sooke, B.C., and Canada do not support adequate lev-els of policing, courts, incarceration facilities,

and re-education pro-grams, which are very important to rule of law and a civilized society.

I urge all Sooke vot-ers, to decide their pri-orities for the upcom-ing election. Do they support what works for humans – individual freedom supported by a justice system, or are they voting for contin-ued meddling in peo-ple’s lives?

New policy lets young people in for free

Norman Nelson, the Sooke Phil-harmonic con-

ductor and music direc-tor, has put together another delightful year of music. As usual, the fall and June programs will be presented by the full Sooke Philhar-monic Orchestra, the two winter programs by the Sooke Cham-ber Players and Sooke Philharmonic Chorus, as well as the annual Tea and Symphony afternoon in February, the Don Chrysler Con-certo Competition in April, the Garden Tour in June, and of course the Fling in July.

New this year are the performance venues. Last June, when the high school was closed down by the labour dis-pute, the orchestra was suddenly scrambling for an alternate venue, and found it in our spa-cious, homely Sooke Community Hall.

Norman Nelson picks up the story from there.

“Lo and behold, both orchestra and audi-ence were delighted with the fullness of the sound we were making and listening to. So for the immediate future, this will be our home for the large orchestra concerts in Sooke.”

The Victoria concert last June took place in the Farquhar Audito-rium at UVic. Our Mae-stro described it as “an incredibly stimulating and uplifting hall”, and added, “Our coming

season is all the more exciting and fulfilling at the thought of the invaluable help pro-vided to us by the sym-pathetic acoustics of our new venues.”

The other innovation this season is the deci-sion to admit young-sters aged 16 and under free to all concerts.

“The Sooke Philhar-monic Orchestra has long been a supporter of youth involvement in music’,” said Bob Whittet, interim presi-dent of the Sooke Phil-harmonic Society. “We hope to encourage all young people to learn to enjoy the richness music can bring to their lives as members of the audience or as future performers.”

The first concert, A Celebration of Young Artists, will feature the winner of last April’s Don Chrysler Concerto Competition, Masa-hiro Miyauchi, playing

Beethoven’s Emperor Piano Concerto No.5. The orchestra will be joined by music stu-dents from School Dis-trict 61 and 62 in the symphonic suite based on the popular Lord of the Rings theme music. Beethoven’s well-loved

Eroica Symphony No.3 rounds out the pro-gram. These concerts take place October 25 and 26.

The November con-certs are in the usual Sooke Baptist Church and New St. Mary’s Church in Metchosin. Rae Gallimore, who wowed the concerto competition audi-ence with her artistry on the viola, will play Telemann, and Nancy Washeim will be back to sing Haydn.

Nancy Washeim and our SPO Chorus will also grace the March concerts along in a lovely program of song, psalm and lieder, again in the usual churches.

The Chorus, con-ducted by Wade Noble, is looking for new sing-ers, particularly tenors and basses. Practices

If you want to register your mining company in a country that has the least amount of reg-ulations or encourage-ment for acting respon-sibly and cooperatively with the people and the ecology near your mine, pick Canada!

On October 8, Aware-ness Film Night will open the season with the film “Defensora” a documentary about Mayan Q’eqchi resis-tance against mining in their village in Gua-temala. The film will be followed by a dis-cussion and question period hosted by three members of Victoria’s Mining Justice Action Committee (MJAC).

The story is set along the shores of Lake Iza-bal in the community of El Estor, where Cana-dian mining company HudBay Minerals estab-lished a nickel min-ing operation on the ancestral lands of the Mayan Q’eqchi people.  The mining company’s security personnel have been accused by villagers of a murder, a shooting-paralyzing and the gang rape of 11 women. The commu-nity has brought their struggle for justice and remedy to the Canadian courts where they have

filed three related law-suits in Ontario courts against HudBay Miner-als for these offenses. Filmgoers will go to El Estor and meet the peo-ple affected by these violences and see and hear about the impact on the community of the mining operations in their midst.

The post-screen-ing discussion will be hosted by Kay Gimbel, Janet Gray and Heather Tufts of MJAC.  Gim-bel is on the executive of the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers Union, representing about 500 ships officers across the province.  He travelled to Guatemala earlier this year with a mining

justice delegation led by Rights Action.  Gim-bel visited several min-ing sites, including the mining-impacted com-munity of El Estor and met many of the people who are depicted in this film. 

Gray is an active member of MJAC and KAIROS.  She has orga-nized film and discus-sion events and other social justice projects and she participated actively in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  Gray has also visited Guatemala and will bring first hand experience of the cur-rent tensions involved with mining companies there. 

Tufts is a social jus-tice activist, citizen journalist and indepen-dent researcher.  She is an active member of MJAC and has orga-nized many events and programs.  As an edu-cator Tufts believes in the “learning and research for change” model and has engaged with grassroots move-ments and indigenous communities for many years.

Now that we in B.C. have seen first hand, with the Mt. Polley mine’s tailings pond spill into the pristine headwaters of the Fra-ser River, how irrespon-

sible mining companies can be (the tailings have still not been con-tained and continue to spill) the time has cer-tainly arrived to ask why mining companies are associated with human rights abuses and outrageous envi-ronmental degradation with seemingly nary...” 

The film will be shown in the theatre of the Edward Milne Com-munity School, 6218 Sooke Rd. from 7-9 p.m. 

Admission is by donation.  More info at www.awarenessfilm-night.ca

What should I do if I think I have experienced a concussion?

Concussions may lead to headaches, loss of consciousness, confusion,

vomiting, seizures and dizziness. If you have experienced any of these symptoms, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention with a professional who has knowledge of brain injury. In my experience, treatments vary depending on severity.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Pearl, on September 20, 2014 at the age of 86.

Pearl was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where she met and married George, her husband of 61 years.

They moved to Sooke in 1950 to raise their family. She leaves behind many of her loved ones: Her children Sharon (Stu), Shirley (Les), Ron (Jackie), Kevin (Margaret), Marlene (Jeff), many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband George, brother Jack and sister Mary.

Pearl was a kind and gentle lady who loved her books and her flower gardens, but above all, she gave her unconditional love to her five children and their families.

Pearl was the listener, never intruding, but offering quiet support and encouragement. We will miss the smile and the twinkle in her eyes. We will just miss HER!

As expressions of sympathy, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The family would like to thanks Dr. Keith Losie and the wonderful staff at Ayre Manor.

Private family service at a later date.

Diamond, Pearl

Left us suddenly Sept 22, 2014. Pre-deceased by his loving wife of 57 years, Maxine, whom he mourned heart & soul. Survived by daughter Kim, son-in-law Steve, grandchildren Keifer, Alex, Allen, Amanda & Steven, great grandchildren Keenan & Kash, sisters Marie & Maddy, sister-in-law Rose & brother-in-law Gilbert. He has gone on to join family & friends who have made this journey before him. He will once again be re-united with brother Aime, sister Helen & brother-in-law Bob. After leaving Manitoba he spent 25 years in the Navy which included 3 years in Regina as a recruiting officer, a very happy time for them. In Sooke he looked forward to his morning coffee dates with the gang at A&W & then in Colwood he had his Timmy’s crew. Dad you & Mom were the best parents a child could ask for, thank-you. Your smiles & ready laugh will live in my heart forever. We will all miss you until the day we meet again & one by one the links in our family chain will join.

To live in the hearts of those we leave behind, is never to die.

Marginet, Raymond Emile

Zombies will walk among us!Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

Afterlife the Musical presents Sooke’s first Zombie Walk.

Join other zombies on Sunday, October 5 from 2 to 2:30 p.m. for a walk through down-town Sooke.

The walk starts at the Seaview Centre parking lot, (6631 Sooke Road) and ends at Peoples Drug Mart.

No registration required, no fees or charges, just show up in your zombie cos-tume and make up and be ready to walk.

Or at least hobble

along as best you can with your stinking rot-ting flesh.

Please obey walk leaders and road flag-gers. Also, any dismem-bered limbs must not be left behind on the road (health reasons).

A proud presentation of the Sooke Harbour Players.

Zombie walks are relatively common in large cities, espe-

cially in North Amer-ica. Some have been established as annual traditions, though oth-ers are organized as spontaneous flash mob events or perfor-mance art. Promoted primarily through word of mouth and online message boards, most zombie walks are an underground activity. During the walks, par-ticipants are encour-

aged to remain in char-acter as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombie behav-ior, which may include grunting, groaning or slurred, moaning calls for “brains”.

Afterlife, the Musical begins its run at the EMCS theatre on Hal-loween night, October 31. Afterlife was written by Thom Southwood,

the creator of Howl the Musical and he directs the production as well. Reherarsals are under-way and the cast and crew is fine-tuning Afterlife for its birth on Halloween night,

The productions run for three week-ends, starting October 31. Tickets are already available at all the usual outlets in Sooke and East Sooke.

The Zombies will be walking the streets of Sooke

9:30 am Bible Study • 11:00 am Church ServicePastor: Mike Stevenson

Shaken or StirredMost people experience life as a journey of mountain and valley experiences. The good things in life and the many pleasurable occasions are sprinkled with times of trial or serious challenge. These signi� cant life events stimulate us to consider the essence of our “core values” which is the basic de� nition of “faith.”

Dif� culties experienced in life are often the basis of a shaken faith. Some merely question God but others walk away, not able to reconcile their personal dilemmas with the declaration that, “God is good.”

On the other had there are those who are stirred to faith or to a deeper spiritual walk by the challenges of life. What makes the difference?

To answer that we all need to understand that God is not the only power that in� uences our lives. The challenges and dif� culties are sent to us by one who tries to turn us away from the goodness of God. Belief in God is accompanied by belief in evil just as knowing that good is countered by bad.

Re-emphasizing faith in times of senseless tragedies and extreme hardship makes faith stronger than it was before. Christians are able to take this step because we are convinced that God has our best interests at heart. Are you experiencing shaken faith? Let the true nature of God’s love, promises and goodness overrule the in� uences of evil that are challenging you. Satan attempts to kill, steal, and destroy … but not God. God may allow evil to test faith, but this is to stir us to faith, not shake it. When the challenges in life come, will your faith be shaken or stirred?

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGSPublic Hearings will be held in the Sooke Council Chambers at 2225 Otter Point Road, Sooke, BC on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at 7:00 pm to hear presentations on the following matters:

Bylaw No. 596, Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw (400-5)

Council directed staff to proceed with a bylaw to amend Bylaw No. 400, Official Community Plan, 2010 for the purpose of deleting from the Community Residential (CR) designation and adding to the Industrial (IND) designation the properties legally described as:

• Lots 2, 3, and 4, Block 2, Section 7, Sooke District, Plan VIP2434,

• Lots 7, 8, 9, 16 and 17 Block 3, Section 7, Sooke District, Plan VIP2434,

• That portion of Lot A, Section 7, Sooke District, Plan VIP52043 zoned General Industrial (M2); and

• That portion of Lot A, Block 3, Section 7, Sooke District, Plan VIP2434 zoned General Industrial (M2)

The following M2 zoned properties will not be designated Industrial by OCP Amendment Bylaw 596 and will therefore be specifically excluded from having a waste transfer station in Zoning Amendment Bylaw 597:

LOT 4, SECTION 65, SOOKE DISTRICT, PLAN 4444, EXCEPT PART IN PLAN 19149; LOT A SECTION 65 SOOKE DISTRICT PLAN VIP69160; LOT B SECTION 65 SOOKE DISTRICT PLAN VIP69160; LOT C SECTION 65 SOOKE DISTRICT PLAN VIP69160; BLOCK 13, SECTIONS 64 AND 65, SOOKE DISTRICT, PLAN 2434; LOT A SECTION 7 SOOKE DISTRICT PLAN VIP78992; and LOT 5, BLOCK 2, SECTION 7, SOOKE DISTRICT, PLAN 2434.

Bylaw No. 597, Zoning Amendment Bylaw (600-12)

Council directed staff to proceed with a bylaw to amend Bylaw No. 600, Sooke Zoning Bylaw, 2013 for the purpose of adding a definition for “Waste Transfer Station” and to allow “Waste Transfer Station” as Permitted Uses - Principal Uses in the General Industrial (M2) zone and, although “Waste Management and Recycling” is a permitted use in the Heavy Industrial (M3) zone, the term “Waste Transfer Station” will be added as a permitted principal use in the Heavy Industrial (M3) zone for the purpose of maintaining language consistency in the Zoning Bylaw.

The proposed definition of “WASTE TRANSFER STATION” means a facility at which solid waste is dropped off by relatively small vehicles, loaded into larger containers or onto larger vehicles, and hauled to an off-site management facility for further processing or final disposal.”

All persons who believe their interests in property are affected by these proposed amendments shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions before Council on the matters contained in the proposed amendments at the above time and place. If you are unable to attend the hearing, we ask that written submissions be provided prior to the close of the public hearing. Please be advised that submissions to Council will become part of the public record.

Copies of the relevant background documents may be inspected at the offices of the District of Sooke, 2205 Otter Point Road, Sooke, BC, between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays), commencing October 1, 2014 to and including October 14, 2014.If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact the District of Sooke at (250) 642-1634.

Zombies will walk among us!Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

Afterlife the Musical presents Sooke’s first Zombie Walk.

Join other zombies on Sunday, October 5 from 2 to 2:30 p.m. for a walk through down-town Sooke.

The walk starts at the Seaview Centre parking lot, (6631 Sooke Road) and ends at Peoples Drug Mart.

No registration required, no fees or charges, just show up in your zombie cos-tume and make up and be ready to walk.

Or at least hobble

along as best you can with your stinking rot-ting flesh.

Please obey walk leaders and road flag-gers. Also, any dismem-bered limbs must not be left behind on the road (health reasons).

A proud presentation of the Sooke Harbour Players.

Zombie walks are relatively common in large cities, espe-

cially in North Amer-ica. Some have been established as annual traditions, though oth-ers are organized as spontaneous flash mob events or perfor-mance art. Promoted primarily through word of mouth and online message boards, most zombie walks are an underground activity. During the walks, par-ticipants are encour-

aged to remain in char-acter as zombies and to communicate only in a manner consistent with zombie behav-ior, which may include grunting, groaning or slurred, moaning calls for “brains”.

Afterlife, the Musical begins its run at the EMCS theatre on Hal-loween night, October 31. Afterlife was written by Thom Southwood,

the creator of Howl the Musical and he directs the production as well. Reherarsals are under-way and the cast and crew is fine-tuning Afterlife for its birth on Halloween night,

The productions run for three week-ends, starting October 31. Tickets are already available at all the usual outlets in Sooke and East Sooke.

The Zombies will be walking the streets of Sooke

Sports & RecreationYates keeps charging ahead

Ron LarsonSpecial to the Sooke News Mirror

Sooke basketball Star Quinn Yates is one of 17 athletes practising with the Camosun Chargers.

Quinn would like to be one of the 14 who make the Chargers team and one of the dozen who dress for the game. At 6’4 and sporting an ath-letic frame the question wasn’t if he can dunk a basketball it was when; “grade 10 in Denmark after a game and no one was watching” Quinn said with a big smile.

Quinn is a former class Valedic-torian for First Nations Graduation 2014 and practices with the Camo-sun Chargers five days a week. In that week, Quinn and the rest of the players have to put up 800 shots or layups and 400 free throws.

“It’s a really good group of guys at Camosun in terms of how everyone gets along from coaches to players” Quinn said.

The 18-year-old Quinn doesn’t con-sider himself much of a shooter, he said, “The part of the game I enjoy is defense and I’d rather drive to the hoop than shoot if I have a choice.”

Each Charger player is tasked with fundraising $800 to help with the associated team costs. You can sponsor Sookite Quinn Yates who’s half way to his fundraising goal through the Adopt a Charger pro-gram and receive a tax receipt, an invitation to the Chargers annual ath-letic awards ceremony and be listed in the Chargers annual viewbook. Go to Camosun.ca and type in adopt into the search window on the top right corner.

Students from Sooke Sailing get ready to put their sailboats into the water. The students learned the basic of sailing and tested out their knowledge at Cooper Cove over the summer months.

SSC kicking it in pre-season playBlue and white took to the

pitch this weekend with inten-sity!  A gorgeous weekend for team pictures – a big thank you to Roger and Ursula from AAA Photography for making us all laugh it up! 

The Sooke U16 girls had a hot game this Saturday in Cowichan Valley with warm temperatures and hot actions on the pitch.

Lajah Warren placed the first ball into the net followed by Mariyah Dunn with the great right-footed finish from outside the 18 box.

Cowichan Valley came out in the second half looking more

refreshed from the drains of the warm temperature, but even that was not enough and Carymn Wright placed one with her (other) left foot into the lower corner of the opponent net.

Both keepers were able to earn shootouts by taking away Cowichan’s only attempt’s by attacking the ball at   the top of the 18. Final score Cowichan Val-ley 0 Sooke 3 

  U13 Girls beat Lakehill 2-0. Goals scored by Allana Garat and Alexa Wright. 

U14 boys beat Peninsula 6-5. U16 Sooke Shredders beat

Peninsula 11-0.    Taylor Cum-

mings and Marley Pasichnyk both got hat tricks and Chris Berkeley, Matthew Miller and Tie Boake also got goals. 

The U17/18 Boys annihilated Saltspring 7-0.  The second half saw their talented goalkeeper Kyle Rodd playing out and he managed to knock in a sweet penality shot.  Oh, the irony.   At time of submitting, not all stats were provided. 

  One more week of seeding and then regular league play starts!  Best of luck to all Sooke teams!

There is great vitality in connecting to nature. By accepting and inte-grating nature into our lives it can mend and heal and steer us into the placid places. It’s all around us in Sooke

authored by our own perception and inten-tions.

“Salmon eggs,” I say to the seasoned fellah who seemed to either be day dreaming or dead reckoning at the foot of Kemp Lake. “Power bait,” he says with a nod not break-ing eye contact with the horizon. We chat at one of the access points to Kemp Lake at the end of Chubb road, off of the aptly named Kemp Lake Road. The scenery may not be as picturesque as Mathe-son. The trout may not be as big as the ones at Fairy or Lizard Lake but the humble beauty, coupled with the short 10 minute drive head-ing west from Sooke

makes Kemp Lake a great spot to hit before or after work.

“Catch anything lately”? I say, as if some-one is pulling a string from between my shoulder blades forcing me to spit out short cli-ché fishing questions.

“Ya, there’s fish in this lake” he fires back, string winding up.

I decide to give him some space and get back to my van before my string recoils and I’m forced to ask another question about say, barbed hooks.

As I start to walk back, he fires up, “yeah, nothing better than get-ting a trout and wrap-ping it in tinfoil slap-ping it on the barbeque.

“With a bit of but-

ter and some lemon,” I chime in.

He nods and intro-duces himself, “I’m Norm,” he says as he stretches out his arm. We shake in agreement on our cooking style.

“Ya I love fishing for trout out here, but I don’t use gang rigs, just a couple of pellet weights, some power bait, that way you can feel the fish.”

I scratch the side of my face and throw out a half-hearted “yeah” as I’m guilty of having a collection of Ford Fender, Willow Leafs

and Cowbell lures in my box.

“Yeah I find trolling in a slow S curve works pretty well,” I say, try-ing to balance out the fishing tip jar.

Norm assures me that the key to catching trout is to hit the shady spots at Kemp and adds that while the S curves work, don’t paddle too fast because he says, “you will end up with little guys because the bigger fish are too slow and cranky to waste their energy.”

Norm elaborates on “there’s fish in this lake”

and tells me, “’bout this time last year the Fresh-water Fisheries Society dropped about 1,500 rainbow in here. Kemp Lake is non -motorized so a canoe or kayak will work best as casting from shore is difficult.

While Norm packs up his tricked out fishing kayak complete with rod holder, I contem-plate how awesome my

newly patched canoe will be once the ding repair epoxy and fibre-glass roof repair paint dry. Hey, whatever floats your boat.

Ron Larson writes about his outdoor adven-tures in the Sooke area.

The 2014 Bite-Me Fishing Derby Presi-dent, Richard Jones presented a cheque for $10,000 to Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society President, Rob-ert Gamache on Tues-day, Sept 23.

The Bite-Me Fishing Derby, this year spon-sored by Alpine Marine, celebrated their 20th anniversary. A total of more than $143,000 has been raised by this small derby in the last 20 years and the net proceeds have

been donated for local salmon conservation to ensure the continued future of sport fishing.

The hatchery raises and releases many thousands of natu-ral salmon into local spawning streams from where they migrate into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and then to the open Pacific Ocean. They return to spawn in local waters, thus ensuring the survival of a most precious asset - the wild Pacific salmon!

As well as support-

ing local salmon con-servation, this year the derby, with con-tributions from some generous Victorians, provided AED’s to five local marinas including Pedder Bay. This was the brain child of Ted Litster, Bite Me Derby committee member. Having been shocked back to life with a defi-brillator in January of 2013 Ted knows first-hand how effective AED’s are for the vic-tims of cardiac arrest, but, he also knows that if his attack had hap-pened on his boat at Pedder Bay his chance of survival would have

been slim. The derby continues

to support their local community by process-ing the top three win-ning fish and donating it to the West Shore Food Bank to help fill the Christmas ham-pers. Linda and Bryan Mooney, owners of the E-Fish-Ent Fish Com-pany Ltd, have gener-ously donated their time to process the salmon.

When the fishing is done everyone on the committee looks for-ward to organizing and driving the hay wagons for Metchosin Day.

Open fires permittedOpen fires permitted within the

Coastal Fire CentreEffective at noon on Sept. 24, all open fires will

be permitted across the Coastal Fire Centre’s juris-diction, due to a decreased risk of wildfires. Burn barrels, fireworks and tiki torches will also be per-mitted. People who intend to conduct open burn-ing must check with local government to ensure there are no additional local bylaws that might regulate open burning.

Campfires must be no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre tall. People who light camp-fires are reminded to have a hand tool, such as a shovel, or at least eight litres of water nearby to fully extinguish the campfire.

Category 2 fires are fires that burn material smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width, or stubble or grass over an area smaller than 2,000 square metres.

Anyone lighting a Category 3 fire must first obtain a burn registration number by calling 1-888- 797-1717. A Category 3 fire is one that burns mate-rial piled more than two metres high or three metres wide; or stubble or grass over more than 2,000 square metres; or more than two piles of any size.

A person who lights a fire must have sufficient personnel, water and tools on hand to stop the fire from escaping, and must comply with air quality control legislation.

The rescinding of this prohibition applies to all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any restrictions before light-ing a fire.

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go to: http://www.bcwildfire.ca

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

An issue at work requires your imme-diate attention, Aries. This situation must be approached delicately, but don’t be afraid to speak your mind and accept the results.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, a busy week awaits but just take things one project at a time. Keep to your-self for a little bit in an attempt to stay focused on the numerous tasks at hand.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, your positive attitude is why people have grown to rely on you in tight spots. Plant

a smile on your face and others will ben-efit from your positive influence.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, it’s hard to know when to be asser-tive at work. You want to appear competent and in control, but you also want to build a good rapport with coworkers. Experiment a little.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, give plans time

to develop, but don’t feel the need to hide your enthusiasm about the prospects. Trust your instincts as to when is a good time to get moving.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, you cannot control the behav-ior of others, but you can change your own direction to counter-act some unexpected developments. Keep an open mind.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Don’t be surprised if your schedule gets

turned upside down this week, Libra. It’s important to roll with the punches so others can see how flexible you can be.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, an uncon-ventional approach is your key to success this week. While others are following Plan A, go with Plan B and you may meet with great results.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Fantasy can overtake reality if you let it, Sagit-tarius. You may need to rein in your hopes and dreams for a bit and focus on some more practical matters.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Friends may dis-tract you from work this week, Capricorn. Although it’s not wise to let responsibilities slide completely, you can probably get away with a day of slacking off.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, the physi-cal rewards for all your hard work will become apparent soon. You’ll find that all of your efforts thus far have been well worth the sacrifices.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, although you may dream of escap-ing the daily grind, you may need to persevere for just a little while longer. Your respite is coming.

Coho are the fish to catch Salmon fishing in

Sooke is VERY GOOD for Coho salmon right now! Coho are on their migratory path towards the rivers they will spawn in, and the Strait of Juan De Fuca or the Salish Sea is showing a good abundance of wild and hatchery salmon. These salmon are very popular among recre-ational fishers as they hit the gear hard and provide good sport if fished on light gear and shorter leaders, and you can often limit out on them during a morn-ing fishing trip. Best baits/lures for Coho are; small red,white or yellow, silver, squirts or hootchies, Silver Horde Coho Killers, or ancho-vies in a variety of bait heads with 4’ to 5’ lead-ers. Best locations to

usually find Coho are off the Sooke Harbour mouth or Sooke Bluffs trolling out from 100 to 500’ of water with the gear from 60’ to 130’ on the downrigger. Cur-rently regulations allow two Coho per person, one of which maybe unmarked (wild). Please check the reg-ulations on the DFO website or at your local tackle store before heading out.

Chinook salmon fishing has definately slowed down, they can still be found by pounding the shore-line trolling anchovies or herring deep, 10’ off the bottom. Secre-tary Is.,Trailer Park, Otter Point, and West of Otter Point are good places to start looking. Some are being picked

up while trolling a line deep 130/140’ for Coho, in the deep water.

More boats are switching to halibut fishing this time of year, and we are starting to see some “chickens” (small halibut) at the dock. The halibut tend to be a little deeper now, in 120’ to 250’ of water. Favorite baits include herring, octo-pus, squid and salmon bellies, soon they will be closer to the Har-bour mouths looking for yummy spawned out salmon carcasses floating into the strait. Most common meth-ods for fishing halibut in Sooke are drifting or anchoring, the later being more productive. Most common gear includes a speader bar system with a 2-lb lead

ball weight and a baited double hook halibut leader, or a variety of halibut jigs. Best to fish through a tide change with low to moderate current speed.

Crab fishing should get better soon with the spawning salmon entering the river. As usual crab fishing dur-ing an incoming tide with fresh bait often produces best results.

Up coming salmon derby - The Sooke 4th Annual Thanksgiving Coho Derby October 11 at Jock’s Dock - not to be missed! Contact Anne Marie at 778-676-1965 or Maureen at 250-642-7983, or visit your favorite local tackle provider for details.
