Silence may be golden for this Saturday’s referendum on the purchase of the former DeMamiel golf course in Sooke. Or it may not.

There’s been little said – positive or negative – on the Sooke and Electoral Area Parks and Recreation Commis-sion’s plan to spend $1 million to buy the land to address the future need for recreational space and facilities in Sooke.

The commission, also known as SEAPARC, and the Capital Regional District, held five information ses-sions in Sooke and the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area this month and only 27 residents attended. Sooke attracted the most attendees with 12, while no one showed up in Port Renfrew.

Low numbers were also recorded in the advance poll where only 100 cast a ballot. A second early vote is set for today (April 27).

“I’ve never seen a referendum vote so quiet,” said Sooke Coun. Rick Kasper and a member of SEAPARC.

The commission negotiated a $1 million offer for the 9.5-hectare of land in January, which includes cleared and manicured lands, as well as a five-bedroom house and miscel-laneous equipment used to maintain the course.

“We have zero idea what to expect from the referendum. There’s been no feedback,” said SEAPARC chair and Juan de Fuca Electoral Area director Mike Hicks, adding the commission hasn’t promoted the land buy because it only wanted to present the opportunity to the community.

What’s the loudest noise in Sooke? Is it the pounding waves of the Pacific? The

echoing squawk of an eagle? It’s neither. It’s the beating heart of a volunteer.

As the Sooke Rotary Club ramps up for its 26th auction this Satur-day (April 30) at SEAPARC Leisure Complex, the Sooke Mirror took a closer look at the small army of volunteers who work tirelessly to bring it all together.

So far this year, the Rotary accu-mulated more than $60,000 worth of goods and services for the auc-tion; everything from gift cards from local businesses, bikes, to original artwork, to fishing equip-ment. Even a kayak.

Sounds easier than it is, noted Neil Flynn, the Rotary’s “auction king” who’s helped coordinate the auction’s planning and develop-ment for the last 10 years.

“It’s a huge event, so getting it all set up in a couple of days, getting enough volunteers, coordinating the collection of 700 items for the live and the silent auction, that’s

a huge effort,” he said, adding that takes what seems like months.

Spanning into 70 booths, com-plete with full catering services and a wide selection of items to bid on, the operation is not what any-one would call simple. Still, Flynn said he enjoys doing it.

“I enjoy the challenge of it and making it all happen, because we know it’s an important event for the Sooke community.”

“It’s disgusting,” he said. “It’s got to stop.”Unfortunately, it’s a familiar sight in the

region – and getting worse.Toom, who moved to Shirley eight

months ago from Squamish, has seen his share of illegal trash sites from Fishboat Bay to Young Road and everything in between.

Instead of complaining about it, though, he felt compelled to do something about it.

“I decided to look into it more and discovered week after week more garbage was piling up. It just wasn’t acceptable,” Toom said.

He found garbage bags, old couches, build-ing materials, even ani-mal carcasses.

So with the help of his wife, Meg, he orga-

nized a cleanup and got sponsorship from the Otter Point, Shirley and Jordan River Resident and Ratepayers Association, also known as OPSRRA, Mainroad Contracting, Hartland Landfill and the Juan de Fuca Elec-toral Area.

On Friday, residents and groups worked for more than 10 hours and collected more than 5.5 tons of illegal trash – two tons at one location alone.

Juan de Fuca Electoral Area director Mike Hicks applauded everyone involved in the project, and vowed to catch those responsible for the illegal dumping.

“The big work is the enforcement to stop the dumping and we’ve [the Capital Regional District] initiated a $10,000 fine, Neighbourhood Watch program and we’re going to catch people if they dump, and if they do we’re going for the full maximum $10,000 fine,” he said.

Don Brown, manager of bylaw and ani-mal care for the CRD, said illegal dumping is a problem in the region.

“People don’t want garbage dumped in their backyard. People are reporting to us, they’re reporting it to the police.”

Most investigations of illegal trash are complaint driven, and while the initial fine can be as low as $100 per incident it can go as high as $10,000, a judge could also order the site be cleaned up and the perpetrator

pay court costs.Brown encourages anyone who sees ille-

gal dumping to get a description of the sus-pect and if possible a vehicle description and call police at 250-642-5241 or the CRD at 250-360-3000.

For Toom it’s not just about enforcement, but awareness, too.

“It’s a NIMBY mentality. People are willing to take it into someone else’s backyard and get rid of stuff they don’t want,” he said.

“We want to start raising awareness, so people get the fact that we’re kind of tired of the illegal dumping in our backyard.”

Toom hopes to continue the cleanup at least twice a year.

“I think there’s a lot of reasons why it hasn’t be dealt with before because resi-dents are frustrated that nothing ever seems to happen. I’m saying there is some-thing we can do about it, and we’re doing it today.”

Vancouver Island wildlife officials are asking Sooke residents to prepare for a busy bear season as the bruins begin to wake from their winter slumber.

So far, the numbers are not alarming: six bears were reported in March, and one in April, said conservation officer Peter Pauwels.

“It will pick up. Then it comes really hard and fast,” he said.

“May is a very busy month for us when they first come out, they are very hungry and there’s not a lot of stuff out there for them to eat.”

It’s not unusual for bears to be up this early either, as early shoots of skunk cabbage, horsetail, clover and dandelions serve as a quick preseason meal.

“We believe much of it is dependent on the temperature, but it doesn’t do them a lot of good to get up early if there’s nothing to eat, so they may still stay dormant and wake up in May when there’s more vegetation for them to eat,” Pauwels said.

Even feeding on early spring vegetation, bears won’t gain much weight, and continue to drop pounds well into June and July.

Typically, bears will stay low in valley basins in the spring and go into the hills in search of summer berries.

The concern comes when bears become habituated to human food, usually abundant in urban centers. This is something Debbie Read, community coordinator of Wild Wise Sooke, hopes will change this year.

“If you live in Sooke, chances are you have bears living nearby. We live in bear country and should learn to expect to deal with bears,” she said.

“We can cut the potential for human-bear conflict by simply managing attractants.”

Five Sooke firefighter recruits graduated from their fire training course last week, allowing them to now take part in routine calls with Sooke Fire and Rescue.

The five recruits are qualified on a basic level, but still got a lot more to learn, said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen.

Sooke and Metchosin fire departments trained their recruits together in one program. Six Metcho-sin firefighters also graduated.

“They still got a long way to go, but they’ve got their basic skills, so enough to keep them safe,” Sorensen said.

New firefighters pass first level of training


The Capital Regional Dis-trict has turned down a plan to set up a permit system to allow public access to the Leech River watershed.

For months, Regional Water Supply commissioners have debated the need for more secure access to watershed, but a group of CRD directors including Sooke Coun. Rick Kasper and Juan de Fuca Electoral Area director Mike Hicks believe the area should remain open through a per-mit system.

First Nations, placer min-ers and research groups have access to the watershed, but other users are excluded, including fishers, hunters, campers and hikers.

Historically, the watershed has been open to the public.

“There hasn’t been, from what I’ve heard, any horren-dous activities up there that have had a negative impact on the water supply,” Kasper said.

The CRD is one of the larg-est landowners – if not the largest – in the region, with

33,000 hectares at its dis-posal: 10,000 hectares in the Leech River watershed, 10,000 hectares in the Sooke watershed and 13,000 hect-ares in parks.

The CRD bought the Leech River watershed in 2012 for future water supply. It is esti-mated that water from Leech River will be needed to sup-plement the water in Sooke Lake Reservoir sometime in the next 50 years.

“I feel very strongly we should do our utmost to keep as much of this open as pos-sible. It’s easy to close it, but why not use our [CRD staff] to devise a permit system?” asked Hicks.

The recommendation to deny public access came

after an extensive consulta-tion process, said Saanich Coun. Vic Derman.

The idea to limit public access is to keep the water pure and reduce risk of fire.

It remains difficult to get access into the Leech water-shed – even for those who are allowed access, Kasper said. Users need a permit to travel through privately-owned for-est company property and then there are gated roads.

“It’s not a simple process,” Kasper said, adding the plan to have the CRD monitor the permits would not bring in a “plethora of unregulated or uncontrolled” users.

“What we’re advocating is a permit process run by the CRD.”

Hicks said the CRD should allow public access to the watershed, until it is ready to use the water. Even then, the CRD could give users five years notice.

“This stretches the imagi-nation for me. It’s important for the wellbeing of the peo-ple to be able to go hiking or fishing,” he said.

“There’s no practical rea-son, as far as I’m concerned.”

CRD limits public access to Leech River watershed

The Leech Water Supply Area consists of 92 per cent of the watershed area of the Leech River above the existing tunnel that will be used to divert water to Sooke Lake Reservoir. Based on current water use, it is estimated that it will be several decades before water from the Leech WSA is needed to supplement water storage in Sooke Lake Reservoir. Many projects are underway to enhance the restoration of the area for water supply and to improve water quality.

Watershed eyed for future use


Angus Stanfield presented with Sovereign’s Medal for VolunteersOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Sometimes a gift doesn’t have a price, or form. It’s the disembodied act of good faith, or the selfless move of a giv-ing heart.

Such is the case for Sooke’s Angus Stanfield, a volunteer who, last week, received the prestigious Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers at the Rideau Hall in Ottawa for his long ser-vice with the Royal Canadian Legion and work in the com-munity.

Stanfield was among 55 other volunteers from across Canada who were honoured and recognized for their con-tributions by Gov. Gen. David Johnston.

The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers recognizes excep-tional volunteer achievements of Canadians from across the country in a range of fields.

“I was very surprised, I had no idea. It’s quite humbling, really,” Stanfield said.

For nearly 20 years, Stanfield served the legion as president of the Sooke branch, regional commander and Dominion Command first vice-president.

During this time, he also became the spearhead in

establishing Cockrell House, a transition home for homeless veterans in Victoria that pro-vides tailored housing, sup-port services and training.

Helping those who can’t do it themselves is what kept Stanfield coming back and getting involved, a drive that goes back to a personal con-nection to his grandfather, who came back from the First World War “a damaged per-son.”

This was more than enough to get Stanfield’s volunteering

heart flying to make a differ-ence.

“You get wrapped up in it, and it just kind of drags you and pushes you along, and it just matters so much,” he said. “The need is really great. It’s sad, but true.”

Like any volunteer work, it’s an ongoing effort. Hav-ing just ended his two-year term as president of the Royal Canadian Legion B.C./Yukon Command, Stanfield remains as chair of Cockrell House, which continues to hinge on

his volunteerism.“I look after that pretty

well every day. We’re assist-ing 11 veterans now. A couple of more when we get some space,” he said. “It’s been quite a ride to be honest, and a lot of change, but it’s also been a very rewarding experi-ence.”

Born in Saskatchewan, Stanfield came to Victoria as a youngster, living on Van-couver Island ever since. He’s lived in Sooke for the last 20 years, volunteering for the community in just about every way, including lending his skills as a bagpipe player by playing for nearly every funeral and wedding in Sooke.

He’s not going anywhere either, regardless of his place and volunteer work with the legion and in the community.

“No matter what I do on the national level, this will still be my home. Between the piping and the legion, I’ve got lots to do.”

As an official Canadian hon-our, the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers incorporates and replaces the Governor Gen-eral’s Caring Canadian Award, created in 1995 by then-gover-nor general Romeo LeBlanc.

As the Capital Regional District looks to benefit from sewage sludge, Sooke is keeping its options open.

Last week, CRD directors struck a new committee to see if innovative technolo-gies dealing with sewage sludge, garbage and kitchen scraps could provide envi-ronmental benefits and offset costs to regional taxpayers.

The committee will spend the next six months investigating and evaluating options for “integrated resource manage-ment.”

Currently, all Greater Victoria commu-nities truck sewage waste and garbage to the Hartland landfill in Saanich.

Sooke produces about 170 tonnes of sewage sludge every year. The cost to transport the sludge is $20,000.

Coun. Rick Kasper, who represents Sooke on the CRD, said the district is

not represented on the new committee because it is not covered by the same regulations as the CRD sewer system. Sooke operates its own independent sew-age treatment facility.

“We’re certainly looking at what Sooke’s options are for dealing with septic sludge. It’s a big cost,” he said.

“What Sooke has to do is keep open on how we can dispose of materials in the most environmentally friendly and afford-able way.”

EMCS squad runner up at Skills Canada competitionOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Some say that noth-ing is achieved without painful trial and error, and that there is no such thing as luck – just hard work.

It’s true for Edward Milne Community School’s robotics team that took home silver at the Skills Canada pro-vincial competition in Abbotsford following a close battle with some of the toughest robot-ics teams in the prov-ince and the U.S.

With a score of 11, EMCS lost to Mt. Baker, Wash. by one point, but the Sooke crew took it in stride, considering they built a machine from scratch, all in a matter of months.

It was also the first time an EMCS robotics team designed and fab-ricated its own chassis, compared to its com-petitors which had pre-built chassis.

“We had the motors, the brain, the rest of it was their creativity,” said Trevor Royle, a shop teacher at EMCS and the robotics team coordinator.

The competition’s challenge was assem-bling a boat out of multiple wooden parts using only a robot.

The parts were spread out across an arena of sorts, which included a ramp and a maze. This tested a

robot’s dexterity and mobility, as well as a team’s ability to coor-dinate.

Communication was more important than most of the other teams realized, said Yann Jos-lin, an EMCS student.

“It’s a deciding fac-tor as a judge, and it’s really hard to hear your teammates over the crowd, so using walkie-talkies makes it easier to communicate back and forth,” he said, adding that this gave the EMCS team an edge over others who used sign language.

Joslin, along with all other pilots and co-pilots, were restricted to their box, relying

solely on their “spot-ter” (in EMCS’ case, Sonny Van Netten) to navigate in areas of the map where visibility was either limited or restricted.

“If a wall edge blocks sight of your robot, you’re completely relying on your spot-ter, such as where you need to place your-self, how far you need to move your arm, or where to move,” said Triston Line, the team’s software engineer and mechanic.

This had to work in tandem with the robot’s design and functional-ity, which featured the ability to crab side-ways, turn 360 degrees and a mechanical arm with the dexterity of a human arm.

It also helped that the chassis was cus-tomized, allowing for quick and easy repairs instead of looking to find replacement parts.

“In the qualifying round, we were defi-nitely the competition. Having our own chas-sis really gave us an edge, while everyone else was relying on nuts and bolts, we were rely-ing on welding and real manufacturing,” Line said.

It all takes more time

to figure out than peo-ple realize, explained Rowan Hensley, a for-mer EMCS student who returned as the robot-ics team’s mentor and technical advisor.

“That was two months of driving the robot and everything went wrong for it to go right,” he said.

“You have time to figure out what’s going to fall apart, you have time for the drivers to get acquainted with the controls, continuously trying to improve the time.”

Line pointed out his colleague’s technical support and knowledge helped the team push through its challenges, even during the compe-tition.

“[Rowan] guided us through everything we did, he knew the ins and outs of the compe-tition. We couldn’t have been where we were without him.”

Given the milestones it set this year, the EMCS robotics team will be back at it in 2017, Royle said.

The robotics team wasn’t the only one taking home a medal, either. Fellow EMCS student Jake Schuttinga also won a gold medal in carpentry. Schuttinga will now compete nationally in Moncton, N.B. in June.

From page 1“We’re giving the

facts. We’re not lob-bying one way or the other.”

If the referendum passes, SEAPARC will pay $250,000 for the property and taxpay-ers, through the CRD, will be on the hook for $750,000.

The cost of financ-ing will be $61,000 per year or $4.80 for Juan de Fuca homeowners with a home assessed at $400,000 or $8.41 per year for a Sooke home-owner with a home val-ued at $400,000.

SEAPARC will make the payments from its existing requisition and will not raise taxes.

Both Kasper and Hicks said they’re back-ing the purchase of the

golf course because it represents a great investment for the com-munity.

“I believe it’s a great move for the commu-nity, but that’s just my thought and maybe the majority doesn’t share my view and that’s OK,”

Hicks said.Voting day for the

referendum question is Saturday (April 30). Polls are open from 8

a.m. to 8 p.m. in Port Renfrew, Shirley, Otter Point, East Sooke and Sooke (see sidebar for exact locations).

Seized signs

Sooke RCMP Const. Sam Haldane holds one of three signs that were seized in the Otter Point and Robinson Road areas. The signs are believed to be in connection to a recent Molotov attack at one of the properties involving three men on ATVs. There have been no arrests.

••Spring has sprung, and urban

humans have begun their annual assault on the natural environment. With a strong tourist season expected, it’s likely to be the Wild West out there.

B.C.’s Conservation Officer Service has begun to provide regular updates on safety and enforcement issues through the camping, fishing and hunting season, to help with public education and wildlife preservation. Some of the incidents they have faced so far this year are troubling.

Freshwater fishing licences had to be renewed as of April 1, and enforcement patrols are underway. In the Kamloops area, checks on 243 anglers resulted in 19 warnings and 17 charges, mostly for fishing without

a licence, using too many lines or fishing in closed areas.

That’s law and order compared to a recent boat patrol on Lake Cowichan. Conservation Officers found about 80 per cent of people were fishing illegally, either with barbed hooks, banned bait, no licence, multiple rods or some combination of these infractions.

Speaking of boats, one of the tasks for B.C.’s 148 Conservation Officers is to prevent the spread of invasive zebra and quagga mussels to our many lakes. Native to the Black Sea, these prolific mussels got established in Eastern North America via ship ballast tanks and have spread to the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes.

More than 400 boats and watercraft entering B.C. from other provinces and countries have been checked at inspection stations.

Other introduced species are a bit scarier than mussels. A Burmese python was seized this month from an Abbotsford man, under recent legislation requiring permits for “controlled alien species.”

Bear conflicts are on the rise around B.C., says Chris Doyle, Deputy Chief of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service.

There were 300 calls to the service about bears in the first three weeks of April, as they started emerging from hibernation and looking for food.

Tourists are fascinated by bear sightings, and the ever-present smart-

phone cameras come out when bears eat new grass on the roadside.

There are still people who attempt to feed bears from their vehicles. This is not just illegal and dangerous to these unwary people, it conditions bears to associate vehicles and people with food, and to wander into traffic.

We hear a lot these days about the B.C. government’s effort to seize the proceeds of crime, such as gangster vehicles. This is a long-standing policy in enforcing the federal Fisheries Act and the B.C. Wildlife Act, where violators lose their gear as well as facing fines of up to $1,000.

If you go out in the woods today … watch out

Tom FletcherB.C. Views

On Saturday, residents in Sooke and the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area will head to the polls to vote in a referendum to buy the former DeMamiel Creek golf course for future recreation lands.

The Sooke News Mirror backs the Yes side of the referendum, and asks voters to follow suit.

This is not a vote that is asking a lot of taxpayers: there will be no tax increase to acquire the land and it opens up more greenspace in our community. A side benefit for golfers is that SEAPARC intends to open

up the golf course by June 15, if the referendum passes.

But the true intent of the referendum is to acquire the land for future fields for the children of Sooke.

The Greater Sooke Area (yes, the GSA) is at a point where it is quickly running out of play fields for its youth, while at the same time our area continues to grow with young families moving here en masse.

And as our community grows, so will the demand grow for more and more recreational amenities. It’s better to be well prepared for that

call instead of waiting and having the prospect that no land will be available when needed.

Let’s not adopt the Chicken Little Effect of the sky is falling. This land is a good deal for $1 million – and the price will only increase as the years pass.

The ballot question has the virtue of simplicity. It is not posed as a complex plan.

Instead, the voters are asked whether they approve the idea of purchasing the land. It isn’t a plan to start building playing fields tomorrow

or the next day, but only when needed. And it sets the groundwork for what this area wants – and needs – for recreation services in the short and long term.

The referendum is a real opportunity to improve recreation in the Sooke region. The proposal is a far better option than doing nothing. On balance, a Yes vote is the way forward.

Re: Sooke police chases keep her up at night (Letters, April 20)

Oh, those nasty RCMP officers chasing drunks and speeders up and down our roads all night and keeping poor Donna Marlow awake

Let them speed on their merry way and they may even turn themselves in the next morning, no?

Ms. Marlow is evidently out of touch with the realities of policing in 2016. And if there are more midnight pursuits than in 1991 then that speaks volumes about the type of people now living in Sooke.

I dare say back in 1991 there was also no need for the News Mirror to run “wanted” mug shots. But it does today.

By the way, has it crossed Ms. Marlow’s mind that the car may have been stolen? If so, just taking down the license plate number is not going to accomplish anything.

I will leave the chase/no chase decisions to our RCMP members, thank you very much!

Mayor’s labours under misconception

Re: Mayor’s maternity leave furor may give birthing to new legislation (News, April 20)

Sooke Mayor Maja Tait and Oak Bay Coun. Michelle Kirby are labouring under a misconception. Elected officials volunteer to serve. They are not employed. They don’t get paid a salary, they are granted a stipend to compensate for the

time used in the performance of their voluntary duties.

Once you have volunteered to serve, it is your responsibility to serve throughout your term. If you can’t serve through your entire term you’ve abrogated your responsibility and should be immediately replaced by someone who can serve out their responsibility.

It’s not a question of parental rights, it’s a question of duty and responsibility voluntarily assumed.

If you can’t assume 100 per cent of the responsibility, don’t volunteer to serve.

A sad little park at the end of the road

Port Renfrew will be voting on the referendum for SEAPARC to buy DeMamiel golf course on Saturday (April 30).

If this referendum goes through, Port Renfrew will contribute to the purchase of this land in Sooke which is over 70 kilometres away.

I find it ironic as our small community park, which is in walking distance for children who live in Port Renfrew, is in desperate need of attention. The lawn is a foot high in places, the gardens are unkempt, and there is no plan to install much needed new playground equipment.

It seems to always be a lack of funding with the Juan de Fuca parks.

Apparently, the earliest our park’s lawn can be cut is May.

I feel sad and disheartened for our community of Port Renfrew. Surely we deserve better than this.

If the referendum goes through, I bet the DeMamiel golf course land will never be allowed to look like our park. Guess how I am voting on Saturday?

Seniors need a place to call home

I am writing in reference to bingo at the Sooke Community Hall that is sponsored by the Sooke Senior Drop-In Center Society.

If more people do not start attending these bingos, we are afraid that we will have to discontinue them.

For some seniors, this is their only form of entertainment.

We are paying rent for each day that we are there, so if we do not have at least 10 people playing bingo, we are not able to have a bingo, according to the B.C. Lottery Corp.

We have been trying to obtain a place of our own. We are the only senior center on the Island that does not have a facility of its own.

If you want to keep the seniors’ center afloat, something must be done for us to have a place to call home; a place where seniors can play cards, scrabble and other forms of entertainment or just to come, have lunch and visit with other seniors.

We seem to be low-man on the totem pole when it comes to securing a place of our own. There is money for a lot of other things, but not for us.

Friends, discussion and musical memories

The bride and I were having lunch with George, my good friend for the past 50 years and his wife, Jan, when the topic of Prince’s passing popped up.

Opinions were mixed and it became apparent that he was far from anyone’s favourite, but there was at least a grudging respect for his talents as a songwriter and musician.

I mentioned how his solo in a cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps during a tribute to George Harrison had impressed me. I had no idea how well Prince could play until

I was force fed that 10 minutes of YouTube a couple of years ago by my friend Phil, who no doubt deeply mourns the death of one of his musical idols.

We filled the wait for our food discussing recent losses that included David Bowie and Glen Frey, with apologies to anyone I missed, and I asked which musician’s death affected each of us the most.

I know my wife’s list includes several members of the so-called 27 club; Jimi Hendrix for his other worldly note bending, Janis Joplin for the raw pain that permeated her vocals and Jim Morrison for reasons that would take several columns to explain. Jan said John Lennon, followed by a respectful silence because what else can you say.

For me it will always be Duane Allman, whose career was cut

short in a motorcycle crash at the age of 24. I remember that day in October 1971 when I first heard about it on the radio, and the sadness that still occasionally shadows my ability to listen to him play. It took years to come to grips completely with his loss, fortunately soothed from time to time by Eric Clapton’s fret work and Derek Trucks’ mastery of Duane’s sizzling slide guitar.

Music is universal and yet deeply personal, depending on individual tastes and experiences. Millions may hang on every word when Celine Dion sings while I would rather be struck deaf than forced to listen to one of her songs.

Joan may have put the perfect spin on it when she talked about seeing Gary Clark Jr. a couple of weeks ago at the Commodore in Vancouver. How he hit

notes and moments that made the hair on your neck itch, how he took you to and over the edge of “it’s so perfect I can’t take any more,” how he turned several solos into musical feasts that featured more twists than a bag of pretzels.

Music can take you from the deepest depths and perch you on a cloud that affords that perfect view of places you have never journeyed to before. It can turn a crowd of listless people into a writhing frenzy of frenetic dance, or soothe a solitary listener with memories too personal to share.

We are all so much richer for what we love to listen to, and so indebted to those no longer with us who have woven the magic of their music into the fabric of our soul.

Country marketopens for 21st season on May 7

The Sooke Country Market opens for its 21st season on May 7.

The market, located at Otter Point Road across from Eustace Road in downtown Sooke, is a rain or shine event that oper-ates on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. through October.

Sooke region producers will unveil their fresh grown pro-duce, plant starts, seeds and preserves, artisan bakers will tempt with home-baked breads, pastries and snacks. Fine artists and craftsmen enhance the market with body care products, handcrafted jewelry, knitted creations and unique West Coast inspired art.

Local entertainers the Chick Wagon Band will be playing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“2016 is looking to be a strong year for the market with a great collection of ven-dors confirmed and a solid line up of local performers to be involved,” said Teresa Willman, Sooke Country Market’s man-ager.

New vendors, musicians and non-profits are welcome and encouraged.

For more information, please go online to www.sookecoun-trymarket.com [email protected] www.face-book.com/sookecountrymar-ket.

From page 1The auction has certainly

come a long way, recalls Jerry Van Ek, who, since joining Sooke Rotary nearly 28 years ago, is one of the club’s lon-gest-serving members. Having been a pivotal point of the auc-tion’s evolution and success, Ek now looks back with pride.

“I’m very satisfied in doing what I did. I’ve been focusing personally on the Sooke com-munity because that’s where I felt I could make my best contribution,” he said. “If you want to do something worth-while with your time, this is certainly one of the avenues that you can do it in.”

Ek’s time with the auction goes back to the start when it began as a garage sale upstairs at the Sooke Commu-nity Hall in 1990, with a sepa-rate silent auction displaying items across 25 tables.

The garage sale was not very satisfying, as they’d end up with a lot of leftover mer-chandise which they had to figure out how to get rid of it all, Ek said.

They then did away with the garage sale and focused on the silent auction during the day and the live auction in the evening, which grew into a

bigger and bigger social event. “The big shift in gears came

when we left the community hall and went over to the SEAPARC arena in late 1990s,” said Ek.

“We had room to add stuff to it, have it become more attractive to people. We made food available around supper-time, and entertainment grew, and it became quite success-ful as a fundraiser.”

To sweeten the deal, Rotar-ians started bringing in musi-cians for entertainment, and local restaurants became involved to provide food and drink to visitors.

This year, a cash bar is also available.

Still, biggest challenge every year is collecting donations throughout the community from individuals and busi-nesses, and organizing it all into a single event.

New this year is the Sooke Hall of Excellence, where visi-tors can see firsthand some of the most giving and dedi-cated people in the local com-munity.

The Rotary silent auction begins this Saturday at 10 a.m. with an opening ceremony and runs until 5 p.m. The live auction runs from 6 to 9 p.m.

Rotary Auction began 26 years ago

Teen takes on politicsMakayla Scharf, 17, takes part in youth parliament


What is the world of a pol-itician through the eyes of a young soul? Better yet, what real-world issues can a youth see and experience, perhaps even solve?

These are the ques-tions Edward Milne Community School’s youth parliament program inspires stu-dents to both inquire and answer, as they fill the mock-up shoes of Canadian politi-cians.

To take part, a stu-dent needs motiva-tion, love, and curios-ity of the political world, a trait found in students like Makayla Scharf, who is in her second year with the program.

Scharf always possessed a taste for politics.

“I’ve always been good at arguing, and I’ve always cared about my community so it seemed like when the two come together, you end up with politics,” she said.

Scharf started with Forum

For Young Canadians, a politi-cal training camp where stu-dents travel to Ottawa for a week, where they visit Parlia-ment Hill and meet members of Parliament as well as the Senate.

“You live your life as if you were running a campaign, and back at the hotel, you have mock parliaments, it’s like a base-work for getting interested in politics,” Scharf

said, adding this was her first intense experience with politics.

At 16, she became eligible for the B.C. Youth Parliament program; before get-ting together, she had to write a personal statement of why she wanted involvement, as well as provide a background of her school along with

several references.Students can then get

elected as one of the 95 mem-bers of the house, as they actu-ally sit in the B.C. legislature in Victoria.

“We are there for five days, where we debate legislation as if we were actual members of Parliament,” she said.

“We bring up members’ res-olutions, which allows us to bring issues we feel are imper-

ative to Canadian youth to the forefront so that they can be debated among the 95 peers from all across B.C.”

Sounds hard, but then again, it won’t feel genuine if the experience isn’t close to the real deal. They even get to pass a motion in the house as they would in parliament, and then that gets written up and sent off to the ministers that it would affect if it were the real deal, Scharf explained.

The program still pays off on both ends, leaving students to experience government, poli-tics on both a provincial and federal level.

It did pay off. Through her work with youth parliament, Scharf scored $2,800 in schol-arships, which go into effect when she graduates from EMCS this year.

“We’re very proud of her,” said Linda Cossentine, social studies teacher at EMCS and a spearhead in the program’s overall success. She’s the pro-verbial bridge that connects students and their political passions to the program.

“We look for those who would like to get politically involved and are strong, deter-mined individuals,” she said, adding that participants need to show genuine interest in politics to both learn and enjoy the experience.”

Volunteers have always been a big part of the accomplishments of the Sooke Region Museum.

Here we see volunteer Arne Noesgaard working in the blacksmith shop at the museum in 1980.

The little blacksmith shop was built by those dedicated guys in the Sooke Lions Club, from lumber salvaged from a chicken coop on the Fred Milne farm.

The forge in the photo came from the Phillips farm (now Sun River territory) where it performed many years of service; it was saved and given to the museum by oldtimer Ron Fitton.

When Arne Noesgaard retired from his industrial blacksmithing job and he and his wife moved to Sooke, he offered his services to the museum and gave instructions to young fellows like Ken Banner who is assisting him by working the blower in this scene.

It was a bit of a challenge for us to get good anthracite coal to produce the heat needed in the forge, but it was a popular exhibit that attracted spectators and also produced fabricated items.

Arne Noesgaard also offered training to retired gentlemen who wanted to take up blacksmithing as a hobby. Today the blacksmith shop still operates for special event days, and over the last few years has been run by Don Moloney, a local Sooke volunteer.

Ken Banner is a fellow with varied

skills, for not only did he learn blacksmithing, but he became a mechanic and today is partnered with a brother in an automotive repair centre. What stands out most for me, though, is his range of talents, for he is an artist as well.

When we opened the first Fine Arts Show in 1986, Ken entered a massive painting, seen as somewhat controversial at the time, and it became one of the attractions that brought visitors to that first show.

Other young fellows who worked with us at the museum through youth training

programs in those years were Gordon Carosella, who worked in the blacksmith shop and running the steam donkey, and Alec Jessiman, who also worked with the restored Phillips steam donkey as well, running it on weekends.

Each of these young men went on to become proficient workers in local industry.

We are indebted for this photo to Sheila Whincup who was on assignment to the Sooke Mirror in 1980.

Low-income B.C. seniors may miss out on impor-tant benefits if they don’t file an income tax form, B.C.’s Seniors Advocate says.

With the April tax deadline approaching, Eliza-beth Mackenzie has reminded seniors that 13,000 B.C. residents were found in a national survey to have missed out on the Guaranteed Income Supplement for as much as seven years. Once identified, seniors received retroactive payments from Ottawa.

“GIS is a key support for the lowest income seniors,” Mackenzie said. “These are seniors living on $17,300 annually or less; however to receive this GIS you must file an income tax return.”

Other B.C. senior benefits that require tax filing include Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), a subsidized B.C. Bus Pass for seniors receiving GIS, and Medical Services Plan premium assistance for low-income B.C. residents.

Co-payments for home support service are also waived for seniors receiving GIS, and publicly funded residential care and assisted living rates are calculated based on after-tax income.

Volunteer income tax clinics hosted by com-munity agencies in B.C. offer free tax preparation.

Free tax preparation services are available on the Canada Revenue Agency website or by calling the Seniors Advocate at 1-877-952-3181.

Get your horseshoes ready (or pop them off, whichever) the Sooke Horseshoe Pitch-ing Association is nearing completion of its first six courts.

The horseshoe pitches, located at Sooke River Road Park, are expected to open by mid-May, says Rick Hobday, president of the Sooke Horseshoe Pitching Association.

All six courts are built to 3x6-foot stan-dard, along with 18-inch cement walkway on either side, individually-crafted wooden boxes and standard 15-inch pegs in each sandbox.

“Now we’re just putting in the cement blocks for people to stand on and throw from,” Hobday says, wiping sweat off his forehead.

The work is the result of five or so club members, who dedicated a few hours every other day prepping the ground, cutting things to size, leveling the area with fill, and hauling material from one side of the field to the other.

“It’s been slow, but it’s coming along bit by bit,” Hobday says.

A wooden fence has also been con-structed by the District of Sooke all around the property, while members added wire on the side, just in case any errant horseshoes go flying. A chain link fence is currently in the works, which will include a gated entrance on the south side of the pitch.

With six pitches nearly finished, another six are slated for early next year.

Some green space separating the south and north pitches is also something the club is looking into as a way to provide a place for gathering with a couple of picnic tables.

On the other six, Hobday says they are expecting some fill to level the ground up, then layer the gravel on top. Down the road, the club plans to put cement over the gravel, smoothing everything out.

While the Galloping Goose Trail will still have to pass through behind the course, it

still leaves sufficient space to accommodate the 12 planned pitches.

A clubhouse and an expansion of another eight pitches (bringing it to a total of 20) is also planned, but that won’t happen until the club acquires more property from the

Agricultural Land Commission.As for memberships, juniors are free up to

18 of age, while general membership costs $30 per year. Participants are expected to supply their own horseshoes, costing any-where between $15 and $40, depending on

the quality.Anyone is welcome to come by to either

take a look, ask questions, or help out.For more information, contact Rick Hob-

day at 250-642-7657, or by email at [email protected].

Sooke horseshoe pitch comes to fruitionA total of 12 pitches are expected to be finished by the end of this year, plus another eight in 2017


Sooke Horseshoe Pitching Association president Rick Hobday tests out a horseshoe pit. The association is building a new facility at Sooke River Road Park, across from Fred Milne Park. The pitch is due to open sometime in late May.

Sooke Seahawks Jared Steele is completely unphased by the wall of Ladysmith Steelers eager to take him down during a junior bantam football match on Sunday at EMCS field. The Seahawks blanked the Steelers 23-0.

Octavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

More than 100 Sooke runners competed in the 27th annual TC10K in Victoria on Sunday.

Jonathan Toombs led the local contingent with a time of 32:20, good for 14th place over-all and fifth in the men’s 20 to 24 age category.

Other top Sooke finishers included Logan Root, 33:41; Howard Manderson, 39:35; and Laura Schwertfeger. 40:54.

The elite race saw Jane Murage win the women’s race for the fourth consecutive year, and GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon champion Daniel Kip-koech place first overall in his first TC10K.

The men’s elite field was one of the most competitive in recent years with Kipkoech, and Vancouver Sun Run second and third place finishers Christopher Cheruiyot, and Paul Kimugul running, so there were expecta-tions that the course record of 28:47 would be broken.

But, the prevailing head wind half way through the race took its toll. The lead pack went through 5K in 14:49. Kipkoech made a break at Mile 0, but Che-

ruiyot came back after 7K. Kip-koech then pulled away at the last mile to finish in 29:42 just six seconds ahead of Cheruiyot. Third was Solomon Rotich in 30:05.

In the men’s Master’s cat-egory, Victoria’s Jim Finlayson repeated his 2014 and 2015 Mas-ter’s victory finishing in 32:07, second was Mark Cryderman in 33:22, and third was Craig Oder-

matt in 33:43. Lucy Smith led the women’s master’s field in 35:59, second was Nancy Baxendale in 39:34, and third was Allison Fryer in 42:16.

The wheelchair race was won by three-time Paralympic gold medalist and Parksville MLA Michelle Stilwell in 33:22.

A total of 8,060 finished the event: 7,124 in the 10K, and 936 in the Thrifty Foods Family Run.

Fishing Adventures

Ron NeitschContributed

Fishing in Sooke waters is very good now with salmon, halibut and crab in abundance.

Spring salmon from five to 20 pounds are in the area feeding on herring and are being found deep, 125 to 135 feet on the downrigger.

Anchovy, spoons, hootchies

in white and glow colours trolled behind bright green or purple haze flashers have been successful.

Otter Point and west have been most productive.

Halibut have been taking herring, octopus, mackerel, and squid while anchored in 200 to 250 feet of water almost anywhere west of Otter Point using a spreader bar set up with

two-pound weights.We have seen some great

catches of halibut at the dock. Crab fishing is great in the harbour using fresh baits during incoming tides, try different areas, some good spots in 50 feet of water.

It’s not unheard of in Sooke to see a group of people collect-ing cans on the side of the road, washing cars, feeding the needy at the food bank, or making pancakes for students at local schools.

Question is, who are these people, these often-unseen vol-unteers who give up their own free time for their community?

Well, like countless others in the Sooke community, Mike Thomas can’t really stand still. He’s always out and about, whether it’s organizing cans and filling hampers at the Sooke Food Bank, or doing mainte-nance work at the local museum.

In 1983, he joined the Sooke Lions club and for the past 33 years has worked on a laun-dry list of projects, including the playground at Murray Road Park, Sooke Cemetery, Camp Shawnigan, delivering Christmas hampers, even providing secu-rity at the Sooke Fine Arts Show. He’s also a central organizer for the Hard Times Dance, one of Sooke’s most prolific and lon-gest-running music events.

As such, Thomas earned him-self a few acknowledgments over the years, such as Sooke’s volun-teer pin, Hospice Volunteer of the Year, a spot on the Town Cri-ers statue at Ogden Point, and as a centerfold in Seniors Maga-zine.

But being a volunteer is not about fame, it’s about doing something using the kindness of one’s heart without expecting anything back in return.

“We all know that volunteers are not in it for the recognition, just a desire to serve,” Thomas said.

Among his ongoing volunteer work is his time at the Sooke Food Bank, which, thanks to his efforts and all the others work-ing there, has helped feed 3,528 families last year in Sooke, a number he said keeps growing.

The things he’s done to help the local community goes even further afield. After learning the Sooke Hospice Society needed some much-needed support, Thomas completed a long walk from Gold River to Tahsis sev-eral times, which gathered inter-est from other Sooke residents as well.

Sooke Hospice is a society of volunteers who provide physi-cal, emotional and spiritual care for individuals suffering a ter-minal illnesses. Thomas’ walks helped raise funds for the soci-ety’s ongoing services in Sooke.

And, despite all that, he still can’t really idle by. When he’s not at the food bank, he works with other volunteers to help steer the Sooke Christmas Bureau, another initiative to feed the local community.

Thomas described this expe-rience as “hectic, but rewarding to see the town and area come together every year in support of this much needed event.”

He’s also got a taste for the-atre. In 1982, he was instrumen-tal in founding the Stage West Players (now known as the Sooke Harbour Players).

Whether it’s another pan-cake breakfast, or a Hard Times Dance, or organizing a new arrival of food cans, one thing is certain: Sooke is full of “quiet” volunteers like Thomas, and could always use a few more.

“It’s rewarding to get out there and help the community, because if none of us did, we’d have a place of just streets and houses, and nothing else.”

The B.C. government is con-sidering putting revenues from hunting licences and tags into a dedicated fund for wildlife man-agement, Forests Minister Steve Thomson says.

A similar shift was made with fishing licence revenue last year to boost the budget for the Fresh-water Fisheries Society of B.C. by $3 million a year for its lake stocking program. The province is in discussions with the B.C. Wildlife Federation and others to do something similar, Thomson told Black Press in an interview.

The ministry has expanded its multi-year study of declin-ing moose populations into a broader modernization of wild-life management, with the fund-ing increase on the table.

“We have Al Gorley, the for-mer chair of the Forest Practices Board, engaged with the groups currently, both on a moose pop-ulation enhancement program but also engaging in discussion around modernizing wildlife man-agement going forward,” Thom-son said. “[That] includes a dis-cussion around how we would potentially see those licensing revenues move to a model where they would have more active say and management in the use of those resources.”

Thomson revealed the plan after Kootenay West NDP MLA Katrine Conroy called for more support for wildlife management in the B.C. legislature last week. She presented a private mem-ber’s bill calling for a special pur-

pose account to support wildlife management.

“I’ve been talking to First Nations, resident hunters, guide outfitters, trappers, people who just recreate with wildlife, and everybody has expressed con-cern about the habitat of fish and wildlife in this province,” Conroy said.

“Hunters who have been out there, they know for instance the mule deer in the Kootenays is disappearing, whereas they’re told it’s not. Up north it’s moose in some areas.”

Thomson acknowledged more needs to be done. He said an additional $12 million in his min-istry budget this year is to sup-port wildlife inventory and habi-tat improvement.

Biker BlessingFor the past 7 years there has been a growing

event in Sooke which takes place on the Saturday before Mothers’ Day. Motorcyclists from all over Vancouver Island and beyond come to town for the Annual Biker Blessing at Knox Church, on Church Road.

As the pastor of the church and as one who rides a motorcycle this event has become very meaningful to me and once more I am preparing to conduct this blessing and enjoy the “Thunder Run” with those who will come to participate on May 8th of this year.

I have been asked why I would initiate or participate or why the leaders at Knox would support such an event, for “all those ‘non-church’ people… especially those noisy and ‘unsavory characters’ who are, so often, associated with motorcycles?”

My fi rst answer is always that God wants to bless them just as much as he wants to bless anyone else! And, besides, they may need God’s blessing more than some others! I also like to point out that there are many who come who are mothers and grandmothers, as well as respectable men and women of our community, including the Blue Knights (police and corrections offi cers) and the Red Knights (fi refi ghters). The fact is, that not everyone who rides a motorcycle might be as “offensive” as you might think.

Let me invite you to join me in praying for the safety of those who ride motorcycles and indeed give them your blessing for a pleasant and joyous season of riding. After all, is that not “the Christian thing to do?!”

What’s one of the worst fears many seniors face? Is it the threat of an irreparable injury, or the loss of one’s mind? Arguably, it’s neither of those things.

It’s social isolation. Now there’s another

path to independence and an end to lone-liness: Harbourside Co-housing, a $12-mil-lion strata built for the senior community.

It’s the first senior co-housing community in B.C. and the second of its kind in Canada.

Spread across seven buildings are 31 dwell-ings, all looking south towards Sooke Har-bour, Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains.

The complex also includes a common house, where those in the local community can gather and share

special events, cook and feast, and mingle. It even comes with its own games room, and multiple dwellings for visiting guests.

“The purpose is to avoid social isolation,” said Andrew Moore, one of the project’s founding members and

president of the Cana-dian Seniors Co-hous-ing Society, a Canada-wide group for that promotes seniors co-housing.

“So many elderly folk are staying in their homes and can’t get out to meet people. With this project, you

still have a great degree of privacy, everyone has their own home, and can shut the door, but you also have the opportunity to be social,” Moore said.

He thinks of the proj-ect as a social thing, and a health thing. As a means of being around

others when the light fades.

“As we need support, everyone agrees that they’ll support each other,” he said. “We have a lot of fun here. Instead of languish-ing at home, or at an institution, we actually flourish.”

No doubt, the whole strata is tightly knit. Connecting it all are paved roads, passage-ways, staircases and elevators, all providing instant access from one side to the next.

Each unit has an average size of 845 square feet, along with an eight-foot-wide deck. Ownership is simply strata title, and owners share more than 4,000 square feet of common amenity space. There is also a storage locker for each household.

Having just opened in January, all Har-bourside units are sold out for a sticker price of $375,000 and has a

waiting list of 237 peo-ple who are eager to move in when a unit becomes available.

Which is why now Moore and his col-league Margaret Critchlow, one of the seven founding mem-ber households who

created Harbourside Co-housing, plan to build another one.

“We keep hear-ing that there’s more demand, so we want the people who are ask-ing us to build another one to step up,” she said.

Waterfront strata becomes senior co-housing havenThe purpose of Harbourside Co-housing is to reduce social isolation among seniors, say developers

This month the Sooke Region Museum is celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th Birthday, on April 21, by taking a look at our collection of Royal Family memorabilia and reflecting on a past exhibit.

The artifact and archive collection at the Sooke Region Museum has more than 100 objects relating to Queen Elizabeth II and the British monarchy. These objects include teacups, mugs, plates, coins, books, newspapers, photographs and stamps.

In our collection is a framed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Myfanwy Spencer Pavelic. This print is number 13 of 50 and signed by the artist. Pavelic donated the print to the museum in August 1995. The city of Victoria commissioned this portrait to commemorate the Queen’s visit to Victoria on March 8, 1983. The original was made in 1983 and is graphite and acrylic.

We also have a purple and white banner that commemorates the Queen’s silver jubilee (25 years as the Queen). The 28-inch long fabric banner says: “The Queen’s Silver Jubilee 1952-1977.” Featured on the banner are images of several different crowns, orbs, bracelets, swords and sceptres.

We have several kitchenware objects commemorating the Queen. A white china teacup was donated to the museum in 1988 by Bert Mugford. The cup celebrates the Queen’s coronation on June 2, 1953. Pictured on the cup are Queen Elizabeth II and two Union Jack flags.

In 1991 Jean Newman donated a teaspoon to the museum, which commemorates the Queen’s visit to Canada in 1959. The Queen’s portrait is

engraved at the top of the silver plated handle and “Queen Elizabeth II visits Canada 1959” is engraved on the bowl of the spoon.

In 2012, the museum held a three-month long exhibit celebrating the 60 year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne (Diamond Jubilee). The exhibit, titled Sooke: Connections to Royalty, focused on linking the Sooke region, and its residents, to the British Royal family. The exhibit also featured memorable moments from the Queen’s 60 year reign, objects and photographs from our collection and more than 50 loaned objects from Sooke residents.

Among those loaned objects was a replica of “the Queen’s Baton” from the 1994 Commonwealth Games hosted in

Victoria. An event at the Sooke Flats welcomed the athletes representing the Commonwealth countries.

As stated on the official certificate for the baton: “The Queen’s Baton is a tradition of each Commonwealth Games and serves as a unifying symbol to the peoples of the Commonwealth.” The original sterling silver Queen’s Baton was designed by three First Nations artists (from Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-nulth and Kwagiulth) and crafted in the shape of a traditional Northwest Coast tribal soul-catcher. The replica Baton was loaned to the museum by the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.

Sooke musician Phil Rossner wants to change the tune to how we perceive blues music — after all, it’s not always about lost love, tall whiskey glasses and dark bars.

More so, it’s about the art of blues music itself, something Ross-ner wants to empha-size at an all-blues and all-ages blues concert on Saturday, May 7 at Sooke Community Hall.

The idea is to expose more youth to blues music by removing alcohol and the barely-lit bar image entirely out of the picture.

“It’s time that this whole embedded con-cept of having to go to a bar to hear the blues should change,” Ross-ner said, adding this is a chance for young musicians to experi-ence blues alongside their parents.

Rossner, a singer

and guitar player for more than 40 years, said he was enthralled the first time he saw fellow musician and friend, Victoria-based musician Bill Johnson, who, at just 17, blew his mind.

This is all about inspiring young musi-cians to pursue what they love, perhaps even take an interest in blues.

“There are a lot of young aspiring guitar players out there, and

usually they can’t get into these gigs, which is too bad, because they miss out on a lot,” Ross-ner said.

Kicking off the night will be Rossner (as Boz and Friends) along with fellow players Martin

Matychuk on bass, Jeff Germain on drums, Norm MacPherson on guitar and (Shakey) Reay Suter, a renown blues harp and har-monica player.

In the second half of the concert, the Bill Johnson Blues Band will feature some of their latest stuff from their latest CD, Cold Outside.

“I’m really excited for this and been look-

ing forward to get-ting together with my band,” Johnson said.

Proceeds from the concert will go to Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

All in all, Rossner hopes the Sooke com-munity will embrace this new approach to blues music, even with-out the booze.

Cold beverages, cof-fee, tea and snacks will be available during the

event. Doors open at 7:30

p.m. and the concert starts at 8.

Tickets are $20 and available at the Sooke Yoga and Wellness office at the Hope Cen-tre, as well as The Stick In The Mud Coffee, Sooke Shoppers Drug Mart and online via Eventbrite.ca.

For more informa-tion, contact Phil Ross-ner at 778-922-3254.

For the final show of the Con-cert Series, the Sooke Folk Soci-ety presents Tennessee native Mark Stuart.

Stuart is spending this year doing what he has always done, touring full time as a musician, bringing his years of musical experience to the stage.

Onstage, his focus is on the songs he has penned and recorded, delivered with a soul-ful singing voice and highly memorable guitar playing.

After many years on the Amer-icana/Folk circuit, Stuart has cul-tivated a rounded performance.

His show consists of storytell-

ing, flashy guitar “chops” and songs that draw from his rock, blues, country and folk music roots.

Mostly, he has toured solo or in a notable duo with his wife Stacey Earle. There were stints along the way as a sideman for Freddy Fender, Steve Earle, and Joan Baez.

One can find Stuart any given night in a small theater, coffee-house, festival stage or church auditorium giving it his all. Or he could be instructing at a guitar clinic or song writing workshop.

His decades-long career has taken him throughout the U.S.,

Canada and Europe.The Sooke show is this Satur-

day at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 1962 Murray Rd.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m., con-cert at 8. Tickets are $15 in advance at Shoppers Drug Mart or $20 at the door.

sciousness. The event is spon-

sored by Transition Sooke.

Will the Sooke of the future grow more beau-tiful, green, sustain-able and community oriented? Or will it be characterized by unaf-fordable housing, lone-liness, clogged roads and escalating ecologi-cal collapse?

Renowned B.C. author, environmen-talist and futurist Guy Dauncey will offer his inspiring view of the years ahead on Mon-day (May 2) at 7 p.m. at the Sooke Harbour House.

Admission is by donation.

Dauncey will also be addressing Youth for Change and Envi-ronmental Studies stu-dents in the afternoon at Edward Milne Com-munity School.

In his newly pub-lished novel Journey to the Future: A Better World is Possible, the founder of the B.C. Sus-tainable Energy Associ-ation envisions a future brimming with inno-vation and hope. The climate crisis is being

tackled. The solar revo-lution is underway. And a new green coopera-tive economy is taking shape.

“I have poured my heart, soul, and 20 cargo-bike loads of research into imagin-ing what our future could be like in 2032,” Dauncey said.

The book is set in Vancouver, which by then meets its intention of becoming one of the greenest cities in the world.

Yet his vision – based on current science, trends and break-through technologies – can easily be down-sized to fit communi-ties of all sizes in the developed world.

Attendees can expect a fast-paced audio-visual presentation delivered with humour, passion, enthusiasm and generous help-ings of Dauncey’s deep knowledge about sci-ence, climate, energy, finance, physics, the natural world, sociol-ogy and human con-

Our theme this year is Celebrating Excellence in the Community, as we recognize the outstanding work of service organizations, businesses and individuals in the Sooke Region.

Over the past 28 years, our Rotary Club members have worked hard to improve people’s lives, both locally and internationally. Our projects in Sooke have included the Skateboard Park, Rotary Pier and renovations to the Sooke Food Bank (with the Sooke Lions Club). In recent years we have maintained our focus on local youth through funding for literacy, sports teams, improvements to facilities at the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides camps and computer purchases for Sooke Elementary School. In addition, we continue to provide many thousands of dollars in annual scholarships and bursaries to local university and college students. International projects include contributions to a high school for girls in Malawi
