Michael Davies, senior director for marine development at Kinder Morgan Can- ada, met with a tense but respectful crowd in the chamber hall that night. Cause of all this ten- sion? At this point, 300,000 barrels of Alberta crude trickles through the Burnaby pipeline every day - the proposed Trans Moun- tain pipeline extension however, would kick up production to just shy of 900,000 barrels. More barrels would mean more tankers, and subsequently, more tanker traffic; or 34 tankers a month instead of your average five. This, says Davies, is why the company is trying to work with the Western Canada Marine Response Cor- poration (WCMRC) that is currently look- ing to implement five oil spill response bases on Vancouver Island, one of which is being considered in Sooke. According to Davies, the base would be comprised of a total of 12 crew, a small ware- house with booms and response equipment, possibly two vessels, a 65 ft/90 ft vessel and some auxiliary vessels. In addition, it would be what the WCMRC calls a “tier 5” response operation, cutting the cleanup time from 72 hours to 36 in case of a major spill. “The commitment in our project is that this enhanced level of response capacity would be provided,” Davies said. But despite WCMRC’s enthusiasm to expand its operations in Sooke, so far “no” is all that was heard echoing from Sooke residents. One of the night’s first speakers, Sinclair Philip, eluded to the S.S. Valencia incident, the infamous ship- wreck where the major- ity of its passengers drowned due to severe weather - a factor that could apparently affect WCMRC’s response capabilities in the event of an oil spill taking place during a storm. “I understood that WCMRC would not send people out in a severe storm because they wouldn’t want to put their lives at risk, which I think may curb their ability to respond,” Philip said. “I can’t understand how the people in the tourism crowd, fisher- ies, First Nations, could withstand a devastat- ing oil spill in the area. We already had a refer- endum and the people of Sooke spoke out and I hope our council will stand by the resound- ing rejection to increase tanker traffic down the Strait.” Davies however, refuted the response, adding that the recov- ery procedure in the event of a storm wouldn’t change. “It’s like any other recovery activity; if it’s not safe for the people out there respond- ing, then they won’t be on the water,” he said. “It won’t stop the response completely, but bad weather would hamper their ability to collect oil in the water.” The ships carrying crude feature double bottom hulls, mod- ern instrumentation, as well as current GPS monitoring technology. “There’s been a lot of changes in technology since Captain Cook was here,” jested Davies. Davies pointed out that a six-hour response time plan would require about 100 new jobs, $100 million in new capital for spill response and five new spill response bases along the tanker route. That however, plays a stark contrast to the federal government’s recent decision to cut three of the five Cana- dian Coast Guard’s marine communication centres on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.

    Kinder Morgan, one of the worlds biggest exporters/transport-ers of petroleum and Alberta crude, paid a visit to the Sooke coun-cil chambers April 7 to address the local concern for increased tanker traffic along the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

    Michael Davies, senior director for marine development at Kinder Morgan Can-ada, met with a tense but respectful crowd in the chamber hall that night.

    Cause of all this ten-sion? At this point, 300,000 barrels of Alberta crude trickles through the Burnaby pipeline every day - the proposed Trans Moun-tain pipeline extension however, would kick up production to just shy of 900,000 barrels.

    More barrels would mean more tankers, and subsequently, more tanker traffic; or 34 tankers a month instead of your average five.

    This, says Davies, is why the company is trying to work with the Western Canada Marine Response Cor-poration (WCMRC) that is currently look-ing to implement five oil spill response bases on Vancouver Island, one of which is being

    considered in Sooke. According to Davies,

    the base would be comprised of a total of 12 crew, a small ware-house with booms and response equipment, possibly two vessels, a 65 ft/90 ft vessel and some auxiliary vessels. In addition, it would be what the WCMRC calls a tier 5 response operation, cutting the cleanup time from 72 hours to 36 in case of a major spill.

    The commitment in our project is that this enhanced level of response capacity would be provided, Davies said.

    But despite WCMRCs enthusiasm to expand its operations in Sooke, so far no is all that was heard echoing from Sooke residents.

    One of the nights first speakers, Sinclair Philip, eluded to the S.S. Valencia incident, the infamous ship-wreck where the major-ity of its passengers drowned due to severe weather - a factor that could apparently affect WCMRCs response capabilities in the event of an oil spill taking place during a storm.

    I understood that WCMRC would not send people out in a severe storm because they wouldnt want to put their lives at risk, which I think may curb their ability to

    respond, Philip said. I cant understand how the people in the tourism crowd, fisher-ies, First Nations, could withstand a devastat-ing oil spill in the area. We already had a refer-endum and the people of Sooke spoke out and I hope our council will stand by the resound-ing rejection to increase tanker traffic down the Strait.

    Davies however, refuted the response, adding that the recov-ery procedure in the event of a storm wouldnt change.

    Its like any other recovery activity; if its not safe for the people out there respond-ing, then they wont be on the water, he said. It wont stop the response completely, but bad weather would hamper their ability to collect oil in the water.

    The ships carrying crude feature double bottom hulls, mod-ern instrumentation, as well as current GPS monitoring technology.

    Theres been a lot of changes in technology since Captain Cook was here, jested Davies.

    Davies pointed out that a six-hour response time plan would require about 100 new jobs, $100 million in new capital for spill response and five new spill response bases along the tanker

    route. That however, plays

  • Temexw Member First Nations, Canada and British Columbia sign Agreement-in-Principle

    Five Vancouver Island First Nations, and the governments of B.C. and Canada reached a major rec-onciliation milestone in the B.C. treaty process with the signing of the Agreement-in-Principle.

    Mark Strahl, Parlia-mentary Secretary to the Minister of Aborigi-nal Affairs and North-ern Development, the Honourable John Rus-tad, Minister of Aborigi-nal Relations and Rec-onciliation, and Chief Ron Sam, Songhees First Nation, Chief Russ Chipps, Beecher Bay First Nation, Chief Gordon Planes, TSou-ke First Nation, Chief Michael Harry, Mala-hat First Nation, and Chief David Bob, Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nation, signed the Agreement-in-Principle.

    The Temexw Treaty Association Agreement-in-Principle includes provisions for approxi-mately 1,565 hectares of Crown land and transfers of approxi-mately $142 million including a land fund for the 5 First Nations once Final Agreements are reached.

    The Agreement-in-Principle contains 27 chapters covering issues including gov-ernance, taxation and lands. Processes for transition from the Indian Act to self-gov-ernment are also set out in the Agreement-in-Principle.

    Incremental Treaty Agreements signed

    in 2013 between B.C. and the five Temexw Member First Nations provided for the early transfer of some lands. The second stage of these agreements will provide for the transfer of more lands to some of the Temexw Mem-ber First Nations as soon as possible after completing the Agree-ment-in-Principle.

    Incremental Treaty Agreements allow First Nations to enjoy economic benefits in advance of a Final Agreement.

    Ultimately, treaties provide First Nations with a comprehensive set of tools for self-gov-ernment and partici-pating in the economy, which in turn provides

    security and certainty on the land for all Cana-dians.

    Chief Gordon Planes, TSou-ke First Nation -

    Our ancestors com-mitted themselves to protecting our way of life and building an even better future for our people when they made the first treaties with the Crown in the 1850s. We are honour-ing their accomplish-ments as we build on the foundation that they laid by signing this Agreement-in-Principle today and continuing our work toward a mod-ern treaty with Canada and British Columbia.

    Chief Russ Chipps, Beecher Bay First Nation -

    When our negotia-

    tors - after years of hard work - initialled this Agreement-in-Principle more than six months ago I called for British Columbia and Canada to join us in the canoe and to help paddle. It brings joy to my heart to see this agreement today and to see all of us truly pulling together for a better tomorrow for all of us.

    Vern Moore, 1922 2015

    It was in 1972 that Vern Moore headed west, bringing his wife Martha and children Terrie, Jim and Bill, to explore new terri-tories, at the close of his 27 year career with the Canadian Armed Forces.

    Leaving from Beaver Lodge, Alberta, the fam-ily arrived in Sooke in what Martha described as a beater car and travel trailer. When the Moores arrived - they saw, they liked, and they stayed!

    At age 20, from his familys home in Que-bec, Vern had joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, training as an airframe technician. In 1944 he was shipped overseas to serve in the European theatre. Sent at first to bases in England and Wales, he then served in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

    Back home in Can-ada after his discharge in late 1945, he was employed by Canada Post in Toronto, until 1949, when he decided

    to re-join the Air Force. After some time in France, he was posted back to Canada, to North Bay, Ontario. It was when he was next posted to Cold Lake, Alberta, in 1957, that the veteran service-man met Martha Day. A quiet-natured man, very gentlemanly in demeanor, Vern was instantly attracted to the effervescent and loquacious young member of the RCAFs Womens Division.

    After their 1958 mar-riage the couple made their home in the bases married quarters at Cold Lake, where their first two children were born. Youngest son Bill has Quebec as his birthplace, however, as he was born when the family was on one of two Quebec postings.

    Arriving here in 1972, the couple settled on Throup Road, where they built their home. Vern also began his many years of com-muting to his work with the Canadian Corps of Commission-aires, where he was posted to the Rocky Point Munitions Depot. Embracing the commu-nity spirit they found in Sooke, the couple embarked on their mis-sion, bringing their zest for living and contrib-uting, and added their efforts to the activities of the community.

    The couples eldest, daughter Terrie, went right into Edward Milne Secondary School, while her brothers attended Sooke Ele-mentary and then went

    on to Edward Milne.Becoming a mem-

    ber of Knox Presbyte-rian Church, Vern took an interest in the his-tory of the church and also kept the records of the churchs pio-neer burial ground. In 1977 he joined the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #54, where he was appointed Ser-geant-at-Arms. He has been elected to the executive, and been in charge of a series of committees, including the Bursary and Schol-arship Committee, the Poppy Campaign, and has taken part in count-less parades and colour parties. In fact, when you think of Vern, you usually think Legion.

    Vern was a dedi-cated volunteer as well for the Sooke Fine Art Shows organized by the Sooke Region Museum for two decades, did volunteer work for the museum itself, helped the Sooke Community Association with mini logger sports conven-tion evenings, and was a faithful supporter of All Sooke Day, where he

    kept busy sharpening his coffee-making skills.

    Because Martha had devoted so much effort herself to the Sooke Fall Fair, it was not unexpected that Vern would assist with those efforts as well, and for a decade he took on con-vening of the photo sec-tion of the fair.

    One of Verns biggest joys was his member-ship in the Sooke Com-munity Choir, where he contributed his bass notes for 25 years. In fact, not long ago, as Vern was reclining with the aid of his oxygen tank in their suite at the Sandpiper, where he and Martha had moved in their retirement, he had the special plea-sure of a visit from the choir, who had come to serenade him.

    Besides his wife Mar-tha, Vern leaves his daughter Terrie (Steve Shortt), sons Jim and Bill, his grandsons Gar-rett Poirier and Kyle Poirier (Samantha), granddaughter Syd-nee Ogden-Moore, and great-grandson Kallen Poirier.

    The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #54 is hosting a celebration of Verns life at their hall on Eustace Road at 1 p.m. Sunday April 26.

    Shes a mother of four, a grandmother of two and has been a teller at Coast Capital Savings Credit Union for the last 25 years and a Sooke resident for the past 20 years.

    Debbie Buchanan has just been diag-

    nosed with ovarian cancer and she is trying every possible medical treatment. Along with the traditional Western medicine and treat-ment, she is looking at an alternative form of treatment on Saltspring Island. Its costly and it involves a lot of travel. She is off work pres-ently and is waiting for a date for her surgery.

    She goes into Victoria for chemo treatment and has to go in the day before.

    Shes really positive, in her mind she doesnt have it, said co-worker Kim Fenner.

    Due to the serious-ness and additional cost, we are hoping for donations from the community, so Debbie can concentrate on get-

    ting well, said Fenner.There is a Victims

    Trust set up at Coast Capital under Debbie Buchanans name for those who may want to help with expenses.

    Friends and col-leagues will also be sell-ing at the parking lot garage sale at SEAPARC on April 18.

    Wheres your sense of humour?

    What is a sense of humour? What makes people laugh and why?

    People who take themselves so seriously that they cannot laugh at themselves tend to become one-sided and narrow in their views. Seeing the irony in situations is the humourists shtick, whether it is by writing or by drawing. A good wit is often in response to a hopeless situation. Think Monty Python, where everything was fodder for a laugh. We laugh at that type of humour because it seems a bit removed from our lives and the delivery is funny. Comedians play no favourites and life is food for their routines.

    For example, cartoons are meant to garner a chuckle, make one laugh at the foibles of us all-too-serious humans. People get upset when the humour gets a little too close to the truth. Its time to lighten up a little and laugh at ourselves and not be so hard-nosed that we cant get the fun out of life. Life is hard and serious enough and a good laugh is a prescription for relieving tension. Just because someone pokes fun at a situation/person/event, it doesnt mean that anyone, especially the paper it is printed in, is taking sides. Political cartoons are a way for artists to express their thoughts about current events in a comical manner. They look at the news sideways and bring out the absurd in it.

    Lets face it, we dont all have the same sense of humour. If we cant laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? Lets lighten up, enjoy a sense of ha ha and not take life so seriously that we forget to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. It does not mean that we shouldnt be serious about our causes, it just means we need a good chuckle now and then, and sometimes its about ourselves. It relieves the tension.

    ANOTHER VIEW

    B.C. VIEWS

    The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, cele-brating a milestone in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Van-couver Island First Nations.

    A regional group represent-ing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, TSouke, Malahat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the agreement in princi-ple stage of negotiations with Can-ada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks.

    This is similar to the treaty final-ized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Temexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provin-cial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title.

    Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a pla-toon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is.

    These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaty advisor Doug Eyfords report last month. The Temexw event seemed to have an extra urgency after Eyfords

    observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved.

    These Vancouver Island communi-ties deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. Its more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination.

    In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiations and sharp divisions between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found.

    This is what has come to be known as the aboriginal industry, where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucra-tive work, much of it of question-able value. For some aboriginal par-ticipants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had.

    Indeed, a common feature of the provinces dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them.

    This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s.

    These treaties around Fort Victo-

    ria were quickly concluded if noth-ing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory.

    One of the biggest missing pieces in the latest agreement in principle is the share of federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular.

    Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic trea-ties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining con-servation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal com-munities, have been able to manage.

    Eyfords findings, and the B.C. gov-ernments sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message.

    If participants arent prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

    Cartoon offends

    First of all I would like to thank Kinder Morgan for making its presentation to Sooke council, and answer-ing questions about the increased tanker traffic through the Strait.

    Last week (April 1) in your editorial you suggested those who would show up to the meeting would not be the polite Canadians we are famous for. You were certain, even a week before the meet-ing, that the people of Sooke would show up in mass and simply rage at Kinder Morgan and not allow them to state their case before the council.

    While you are cor-rect in being confused as to why Kinder Mor-gan would come to Sooke, considering the pipeline and their legal responsibility ends on the mainland, it was logical that Sooke resi-dents should be con-cerned about Kinder Morgan, as everyone who lives in Sooke sees those tankers traveling past Sooke on their way to foreign markets.

    I was there on April 7 for the Kinder Mor-gan presentation as a concerned citizen who wanted to know what the corporations repre-sentatives would say, as a ship-sourced oil spill could have a disastrous impact on the commu-nity. There were also a number of like-minded people there. There were no banners being raised at the meeting, no one brought any. I

    am pretty sure I didnt see any pitchforks, or torches, as you sug-gested in this weeks cartoon. We listened attentively to the entire presentation and did not interrupt. When it came to question/com-ment time the ques-tions were for the most part respectful and while there was some applause, it often came after someone made what others felt was a valid point. The rep-resentatives were not interrupted either.

    You said Canadians are an intelligent bunch and I agree. To be intel-ligent is to ask ques-tions, to not take infor-mation at face value, and I cannot imagine many people would appreciate being patted on the head and sent to the corner because their opinions differ from yours.

    The threat is very real as I am watching the news of a large oil-slick spreading through the middle of Vancou-ver that is neither pipe-line based nor from an oil platform. Clearly your paper does not think highly of your own neighbours who you have insulted with your recent editorial.

    Katie Armitage Sooke

    Always be prepared

    Your headline story in the Sooke News Mir-

    ror on March 18 regard-ing the nightmare experience faced by the DeRoccos during their vacation in Mexico deserves some addi-tional comments.

    Whenever hospital-ization is required any-where outside Canada, it is standard procedure to present any hospital with a valid credit card as a form of guarantee that services provided will be paid for.

    The next step is to immediately contact your insurance com-pany back home, who, after verification of your policy, will contact said hospital confirm-ing that payment will be forthcoming.

    All major reputable Canadian insurance companies provide their policy holders with a 1-800 number for assistance on a 24-hour basis, plus a direct line accepting collect calls.

    The couple failed to mention the name of their insurance com-pany who supposedly left them with phone numbers that were, unreachable and the service unacceptable. If so, it would be inter-esting to hear from the unnamed insurance company to get their side of the story.

    The couple pur-chased an all-inclu-sive vacation package with a charter airline. Remember the term - charter. Their seats are pre-sold as part of that package. Changing the return date could result

    in denied boarding of two other vacationers booked on that very same return flight.

    Reason why changes in reservation are not permitted. When booked on a charter you use it or lose it. Thats a pre-condition.

    So, dont blame Air Transat for their refusal to rebook you on a dif-ferent return. WestJet on the other hand is a scheduled airline oper-ation and has the flex-ibility to accommodate changes if needed. At a price of course. Again, travel insurance covers that aspect in case of a genuine emergency.

    When travel-ing abroad, be well informed and prepared before leaving. It can save you a lot of unex-pected frustration.

    Illegal dumping is ignorant

    I am writing to you due to the illegal dump-ing happening in Sooke. The amount of dump-ing that is happening at the moment is getting out of hand.

    We live in a beauti-ful town with incred-ible landscape and we should take care of it. Coming from someone who loves the outdoors and nature it saddens me to see old mat-tresses, trailers, and construction scraps on

    the side of the road. I am in the environ-

    mental studies pro-gram at Edward Milne. My class has been involved in the clean-up of two illegal dump-ing sites of Muir Creek and Butler Main how-ever, I am frustrated as

    We asked: What would you do in the event of an earthquake in Sooke?

    First reaction would be get the kids, make sure theyre safe.

    Cori BlairSooke

    Id stay inside where its safe and wait for the shaking to stop.

    Janelle Normandeau Sooke

    I'd get to higher ground as quickly as possible.

    Melanie CunninghamSooke

    I would find my kids, my hus-band, my dog, make sure theyre

    all okay and safe.

    Adventures with Japanese exchange students

    Imagine this: a gym filled with eagerly wait-ing school children. Chatter fills the room. Then the doors open, and in walk the amazing exchange students for the first time. Kids hold their breath in anticipa-tion, as music starts to play. The exchange stu-dents gracefully show off their dancing skills for us all, completing the moment.

    This was the scene in which we got a full first glimpse of the exchange students who would be in our halls for a few days. The exchange program from Natori, Japan, and Sooke started at first as just a friendship between two cities in different continents. As the friendship pro-gressed, it turned into an exchange between the cities. From 2001 the exchange was going strong, until the great east Japan earthquake and tsu-nami. This brought the exchange to a halt, and devastated many of our friends in Japan, for they were in the

    area that the tsunami hit. Canada helped with the rebuild of the destroyed area, by sending enough lumber to make three brand new buildings. The first is the Donguri Anne Public Library, with about 2,500 books inside. The second building is the Port Market, where seafood from the local ocean is sold. The last, but not least, building that we donated was the Maple Hall, which sells food, local produce, and, of course, Cana-dian maple syrup. We started our exchange program again last year, where some students went to Japan and had a great time. This year we were lucky to have 22 students from Japan join us in our halls and homes. I even got to host two of them! We had a blast!

    On our first day, Fri-day the 27th, we had a pizza party for all the exchange students and their hosts, and we ended the school day with an assembly, where the exchange students put on quite the show! After that we took our exchange stu-dents home with us for the start to an amazing week.

    On Saturday we all met up at French

    Beach and had a fun scavenger hunt on all the things you would find in a typical Cana-dian beach. After, we all went to Mrs. Szadkows-kis place for lunch. We ate hot dogs as well as marshmallows. After-ward we fed some horses, and kissed some cows! It all came to a very wet end where all us hosts decided to go swimming in Mrs. Szadkowskis pond! We all went home feeling pretty tired, but every-one had a great time!

    On Sunday, we had a day to ourselves with our exchange students. I took my exchange stu-dent to the Shaw Ocean Discovery centre, and they had lots of fun pet-ting the sea animals! After, I took them out for a late lunch, which was poutine of course, and went shopping! They loved going in and seeing all the Canadian shops. We then went to the Old Spaghetti Fac-tory for dinner, and after we got to see the Parliament buildings light up!.We got home late and exhausted, but all in all a good day!

    On Monday, we got

    up and went to school, from where we left to walk to the Sooke Museum. After a tour that the hosts gave, out-side we played an excit-ing game of Ninja. From the museum we went to EMCS and walked around for a bit, they were very impressed by the whale skeleton. We then took a bus to the fire hall, where we got a tour and a lunch from the Mayor, Maja Tait. We did an exchange of gifts, and all the students got a Sooke pin. We walked back to school and we did our last two blocks of the day. For me it was sewing and sci-ence, and went home at a regular home time.

    Tuesday was a bit more exciting, because we went into Victo-ria. We first went to an IMAX, and then we went on an whale watching tour. After we walked around Vic-toria a little, and then caught the bus home. For dinner we went to a potluck, where there was a performance by the Japanese students, and a slide show on our time together.

    Every Japanese stu-dent went home with a little Canadian package full of all sorts of stuff. We went home light-hearted, and with a full stomach.

    The next day was pretty sad however, the Japanese students were leaving. Even though we had spent such a short time together, it already felt like they were family. As they filed into the bus, forlorn looks on their faces, we still held strong and bowed to them as their bus left. I have a little book that they gave me, with pic-tures of their lives, so I always have some-thing of them, and that is something I will hold on to for a long time.

    The one thing I learned while they were here though, was that you always make a peace sign with your fingers as they are tak-ing a picture!

    From Journey Middle School,

    Mia Tanner

    our efforts do not seem to be enough consider-ing the many other ugly dumping sites.

    People need to be more aware of the effect of dumping in the environment. Pol-lutants can run into nearby creeks, affecting water habitat, animals can become accus-tomed to garbage as a second food.

    If people are more cautious to where they leave their garbage we could minimize the amount of dumping happening in our town. We want to keep our town looking beautiful for many more genera-tions to come.

    Kayla HarveySooke

    Seeking witnesses

    Thank you again to the nice couple for making the effort to notify me of thevehicle that crashed into my blue truckwhile parked at theHome Hardware parking lot during the Easter long weekend.

    Since we last spoke I actually decided to go ahead with an ICBC claim and unfor-tunately, the culprit is denying responsibility.

    If you read this, it would be a great help if you could contact me at (250) 380-8857 so you can act as an eye witness to the incident.

    Trevor PaulSooke

    Part of the probem

    Last evening I attended the Kinder Morgan presentation in the Sooke District coun-cil chambers. In an effort to appease those that are concerned with the increased marine traffic proposed, there was an at length talk with and overhead pro-jection of enhanced safety and cleanup plans on hand.

    Brushed over lightly was that there is a great deal of money involved, hundreds of millions, perhaps thousands of millions of dollars, so much so that both the federal and provincial governments depart-ments of environments are willing to approve this venture for a minuscule percentage of the pie. The proposal

    would move oil and gas from Alberta out into the Pacific Rim mar-ket. (please get out of the way). Personally, I believe this would not be in the best interest of most, certainly not that of our children and theirs.

    The global oil indus-try is developing pro-duction capacity that will each 110.6 million barrels per day by 2020. (Harvard analysis). Unless we start using less, our demand will reach 94.6 million bar-rels per day at the same date. This is in line with a 6 degree Celsius aver-age raise in global tem-perature. Massive Cli-mate Change and irrep-arable damage to the planet (International Energy Agency).

    In the news, on the TV, about us in our everyday life it has become impossible to be unaware of atmo-spheric and physical changes taking place about us. We are wit-ness to the conse-quences from the cur-rent rise of less than one degree. I do not see recognition of these facts in the Kinder Morgan proposal, I see them as a deliber-ate part of the growing problem rather than that of a solution.
