With the province kicking in funding for improvements to Hwy. 14, the District of Sooke can see some of the projects which have been on the books for awhile being com-pleted.
Its good to see the province contribute to the funding, said Mayor Maja Tait. I am annoyed that construc-tion will take place in the summer during our tourist season, lets hope they get in there and get it completed quickly.
The districts goal is to provide safer pedes-trian and efficient vehi-cle traffic movement in the town centre. District residents will soon see improvements on Hwy. 14 thanks to a partner-ship between the Dis-trict of Sooke and the Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure (Ministry).
In November 2014, the District and Minis-try announced the sign-ing of a Memorandum of Understanding cre-ating a partnership for the construction of a
new roundabout at the intersection of Hwy. 14 and Brownsey Boule-vard.
TheMinistry will pro-vide the project man-agement for the con-struction project, with tenders expected to be out by March 2015 and work to commence immediately once the project is awarded. The roundabout supports the Districts goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions through reduced vehicle idling and also provides safer pedestrian travel. The roundabout will also encourage the use of alternative transpor-tation such as cycling and walking.
The roundabout is the first phase of major Highway 14 road improvements planned for the District of Sooke. As thedesign drawing above shows, the District of Sooke will be installing side-walks (shown in pink) on Highway 14concur-rently with the con-struction of the round-about.
The road improve-m e n t s w i l l include improved transit facilities, side-
walks, marked bicycle lanes, boulevards and crosswalks. The proj-ect will also allow for the construction of new turn lanes and medi-ans, improved drain-ageand re-positioning of some utilities.
Tait said that until this gets resolved, there wont be any move-ment in the bottleneck of projects scheduled for Sooke. The district is also looking at an RFP for the sidewalk project and Tait hopes local contractors will bid on the work thereby increasing the jobs in Sooke.
The District will con-
tinue to work with the Ministry on further improvements to High-way 14 within the Dis-trict boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Highway 14 be closed to traffic during construction? Will there be a detour?
Highway 14 will not be closed, however, there will be a reduced traffic speed and peri-odically, single lane traf-fic during the construc-tion period. The goal is not to completely close Highway 14 for any length of time. If you wish to avoid the road construction, the newly
constructed Wadams Way is available as an alternate route.
How will the road construction affect busi-nesses and residences on Highway 14?
Every effort will be made to minimize the affect the road con-struction will be on businesses and resi-dents on Hwy. 14.
How does a round-about work? How can large trucks travel through the Town Cen-tre?
Roundabouts have been in use for many years throughout the world and more recently, on Vancouver
Island as they encour-age continuous traf-fic movement. Many people have expressed their concern that large trucks (such as logging trucks) will not be able to travel through the town cen-tre. Large trucks will continue to be able to navigate through the roundabout by simply driving (essentially) straight through the roundabout.The medi-ans in the middle of the roundabout are designed in such a way that large vehicles will actually drive over the median.
When will the roadconstruction start?
The Ministry hopes to award the contract for construction in April/May 2015 and thecon-struction should start shortly thereafter. Com-pletion is expected by Fall 2015.
What will the round-about and sidewalkproj-ect cost?
The actual round-about and sidewalk construction costs are yet to be finalized. The roundabout fund-ingwill come from the Gas Tax fund, a grant from ICBC and $300,000 from theMinistry.

This and ThaTFilming in East SookeFor the month of
January, Victoria will be home to the cast and crew of the feature filmThe Devouta cri-sis-of-faith drama about reincarnation and the power of belief, family and community.
A w a r d - w i n n i n g Writer/Director Con-nor Gaston (God-head, Til Death,Bardo Light) completed the screenplay, about a father whose faith is tested when he begins to believe his daugh-ter was an astronaut in a previous life, as his final Master of Fine Arts project for the Uni-versity of Victoria Writ-ing Program. He was awarded the Telefilm Microbudget Grant to produce the film, his debut feature.
The team is com-prised of a number of UVic Fine Arts alumni, most notably Executive Producer Daniel Hogg (Two 4 One,Freshmans Wharf), who mentored Gaston throughout his studies.
UVic doesnt have a
formal film production program, but thanks to Daniel and a hand-ful of other staff, stu-dents have the oppor-tunity to learn about it, notes producer and fellow UVic alumnus Amanda Verhagen (The Flash,Arctic Air).
With deep roots in the Victoria commu-nity, the project pays homage to the home of its director and other crew members by using existent Brit-ish Columbian cities as the setting for the fictional story. Loosely based on true events, the unique subject mat-ter has attracted actors Ali Liebert (Strange Empire, Bomb Girls), Charlie Carrick (Ally Was Screaming, Molly Maxwell), and Gabrielle Rose (The Sweet Here-after,If I Stay) to fill the starring roles.
Principal photogra-phy on The Devout runs from January 8-31 in Victoria and surround-ing areas. The project has been made possi-ble by Telefilm, the BC Arts Council and Cin-evic Society of Indepen-dent Filmmakers.
VI Business awards
Two Sooke business have been nominated in the 15 Annual Van-couver Island Business Excellence Awards. The event took place on January 22 at bear Mountain.
Nominated from the Sooke area were: Tug-well Creek Honey Farm and Meadery (Agricul-ture) and AOE Accu-mulated Ocean Energy (Technology).
Special Task Force
on First Nations
The Capital Regional District (CRD) Board took an important step forward in build-ing trust and promot-ing ongoing collabora-tion with First Nations governments, when it passed a motion to establish a Special Task Force on First Nations.
Building on the pre-vious Boards priority
of improving relations with First Nations neigh-bouring governments, the new task force will meet with First Nations leaders to explore their interest in and discuss options for bringing their governments into the CRD governance and decision-making framework.
This initiative underscores the CRD Boards commitment to building bridges with our First Nations part-ners, said CRD Board Chair Nils Jensen. I look forward to the new opportunity to actively seek out areas of com-mon interest with each unique nation and move towards recon-ciliation, mutual recog-nition and sharing of infrastructure and ser-vices.
The Special Task Force will be led by CRD Director Marianne Alto (Victoria), who will be joined in her new role by CRD Directors Maja Tait (Sooke) and Ryan Windsor (Central Saanich).
The first priority of the Special Task Force is reaching out to First Nations political coun-
terparts and listening to their ideas and con-cerns.
Through our role in providing regional and shared local govern-ment services, the CRD wants to ensure First Nations aspirations are respected, considered and supported, said Alto. Key to this is tak-ing the time to get to know one another, lis-tening carefully, taking responsibility for past actions and following through on our com-mitments one step at a time.
Over the course of the year, the Special Task Force will report back to the CRD Gover-nance Committee and provide recommenda-tions for actions to the CRD Board, with the goal of bringing First Nations neighbours to the decision-making table.

Pia Carroll was a friend to many, a men-tor to most and a role model for everyone. She passed as grace-fully as she lived, with dignity and a quiet resolve on December 18.
For many of the stu-dents who came into the Culinary Arts pro-gram at EMCS, Pia Car-rolls mentorship and passion for cooking changed their lives. Many of the gradu-ates from the program would not have stayed in school if not for Pia.
At a critical turning point in Pias life, she was hired for the culi-nary arts program. It changed her life and it changed the lives of the students who studied in her classes.
But her influence went far beyond the classroom, it extended into the community and into the hearts of those who were fortu-nate enough to get to know her.
Zachary Regan got his start in cooking through the Culinary Arts Program at EMCS. He became close to Pia as they endlessly discussed self sustain-ability and getting and growing their own food. Regan hunts, fishes and gardens and their con-nection was a good one.
She was a great men-tor. said Regan. She was a really, really good cooking instructor. He said she wouldnt let teenagers push the boundaries instead she let them blossom.
She was amazing.Former Principal and
VP of EMCS Roberta Kubick first met Pia at EMCS, and it was through Pia that Kubick saw how she could par-ticipate in and view the community.
She really shaped and positively influ-enced how I feel about Sooke.
Kubick mentioned the EMCS Society board and how that board interacted, and how they intelligently and compassionately supported the commu-nity.
It was better than any university course.
Kubick said Pia was instrumental in bring-ing in the slow food concept. They worked closely on grant fund-ing applications for the garden at EMCS and they ensured the proj-ect was done locally with students building/designing and cultivat-ing the gardens. The trades class built the shed - the whole school became involved.
The garden is the heart of the school and a place where all could gather, said Rubick. All excess food was shared with local families in need.
Her impact and influ-ence on the culinary arts and the students was obvious. She held the trust of many stu-dents as she encour-aged them to strive to
be all they can be, said Kubick.
Her actions and her compassion guided stu-dents to new heights, Pia has made an imprint on us all.
Kubrick called her a woman without limits.
David Feys, a retired chef and friend said there must have been something in the water at the Sooke Harbour House back in 1989 when he arrived there. Three ladies working there were all pregnant at the same time, Pia was one of them.
I remember her as being very passionate
about food and process and a very caring soul. Very gentle even when she had tough words for you. There was this twinkle in her eye and that giggle. There was a definite joy to what she did, her love for her girls. She was a pas-sionate mother but not coddling, she raised those girls to be strong, independent and confi-dent.
A very gentle, easy going soul, it was easy to be around her, but she was strong willed and she did have her convictions. Pia was Pia, reliable, consistent,
loyal and non-judgmen-tal.
She was an impact-ful teacher.
She became an icon for food culture, said long time friend Phoebe Dunbar. She changed the views we have on food.
So many in Sooke knew Pia or knew of her for over 30 years she was the special icon for our food culture! Her teachings went far beyond the class-room and lunch pro-gram. She engaged the students with all that community catering conferences, weddings, grad ceremonies, farm forums, feasts, film nights etc., where we all learnt so much just by being with Pia sourc-ing local foods, plan-ning the menus, and lest we forget - presen-tation - the ultimate culinary ART. It wasnt always high cuisine, for a number of springs it was the year end long-boat rowing picnics for her class down at Whiffin Spit. Who knew hamburgers could ever taste so good cooked over small wood fires. Mountain and meadow picnics so simple, so delicious. Tasting local foods, tasting Pias home cooking, her Tug-well cob oven pizzas and all those goodies
that would arrive at our kitchen porches when least expected.
Much of the joy of sourcing local foods for close to 20 years with Pia was the foraging we did the impromptu times we took, step-ping away from our busy lives to scout out the best places for wild berries: huckles, blue-berries (all seven vari-eties up on the ridge) and bog cranberries.
Pias food habi-tats also included the ocean. Salmon fishing with the girls, reaping the rewards of Hegge-lunds crabs! Maywells delicious unadulterated smoked salmon and black cod. The Vowles shrimps and free swim-ming scallops. John Jenkins prawns and tuna. Pit cooks with TSou-ke Nation. Did it ever end? No.
This icon and dear friend will live on and be a part of Sookes food culture for a long long time. Pia you are forever in our hearts, kitchens and the wilds. Bon Appetit indeed!
Anne Boquist - We loved each other for a long time and I will miss her terribly. She was a great gift to all of us, she shared herself widely and will never be forgotten!

The first high school west of VictoriaIn August 1996
Edward Milne commu-nity school celebrated its 50th year. The first high school to gradu-ate students west of Victoria, the school had opened as Milnes Landing High in Sep-tember of 1946. As the photo here shows, the school began its life in army huts, though on the same plot of land that accommodates the school today.
Hundreds of for-mer students arrived to join in the 1996 cel-ebrations, from across North America and even Australia. They came together to cel-ebrate old friendships and to admire the spanking new school that had taken shape in the form of a whales tail - a far cry from the barracks buildings wed known in the beginning.
Once part of the Milne farm, when World War II was under-way, this land had been expropriated by the federal government as an army training camp
and housed soldiers from eastern Canada. In 1945, the Province of BC began to enact provisions of the Cam-eron Report, which set up the structure of the school districts much as we know them today.
So as it turned out, when the war was over, and the barracks build-ings, cookhouse, etc., situated among the trees, were no longer in use, the Board of Trust-
ees of School District No 62 acquired the site (we believe they paid $1.00) and were able to set up a fledgling school very quickly. The Cam-eron Reports local recommendations had included setting up a central high school and busing in students from within the area of East Sooke to Port Renfrew. At the time, elementary grades ran from one to six, and the high school
took in grades seven to twelve.
Five local students made history in June of 1947 when they became the first high school graduating class west of Victoria. These students were Audrey Sullivan (later Wilson), Joan Rumsby (later Zipp), Merle Forrest (later Proteau), Gwen Jenner (later Farmer) and a lone boy, Laurie Wilson.
Things quickly changed, however, and the post-war fast-grow-ing population of the inner Langford and Col-wood areas meant that Belmont High School opened soon after, and gradually there was a much larger school enrolment in the west-ern communities.
The photo here was taken in 1948, and while we all enjoyed our school days, this campus would be con-sidered pretty primi-tive by current stan-dards. Today, the fac-ulty and alumni at Edward Milne are look-ing forward to another major celebration tak-ing place for the 75th anniversary in 2021. To this end they are invit-ing those interested to visit their exhibit at the schools Open House on Wednesday, January 21, 6 pm to 8:30 p.m.

Well done Sooke you responded to the call and made Christ-mas a wonderful time for the 416 families who were registered with the Sooke Christmas Bureau!
Hampers were dis-tributed in Sooke Dis-trict which includes East Sooke, Otter Point, Shirley and Port Ren-frew. CFAX Santas Anonymous once again filled toy orders as well as assisting with food hampers.
This year dona-tions of non-perishable foods (approximately $80,000) exceeded 2013. Sincere thanks to everyone especially the firefighters (East Sooke to Port Renfrew), schools, grocery stores, drug stores, many sponsored events and CFAX Santas Anony-mous. The quality of these items donated went a long way to supplement the bulk items purchased by the Christmas Bureau.
Special thanks to the many businesses and organizations for their successful fun-draising efforts. Cash donations burst the thermometers totally $27,700! Special thanks to everyone who dis-played a donation box. There were at least 12 initiatives from various groups and in addi-tion, a very welcome grant from the District of Sooke in the amount
of $7,000 all of which made possible the purchase of extra non-perishable items, also turkeys, hams and pro-duce.
The call went out for volunteers and you responded immediately receivers during the week, food sorters on Friday, hamper packers on Saturday and then even more volunteers on Sunday for distribu-tion, unprecedented numbers which also included Sooke Lions,
Sooke District Lioness and Harbourside Lions. Thank you one and all, many hands made light work!
This year we had the public relations assistance of the Sooke News Mirror, SEAPARC, EMCS, CFAX, CTV, CHEK TV, Shaw Cable, the Coffee News, and Sooke Voice News who advertised all of the events and requests for volunteers. Their par-ticipation was invalu-able!
It must be noted that any leftover cash and food will be donated to the Sooke Food Bank.
Last but not least to Sharon Johnson, Chair and Mike Thomas, Co-chair and their dedi-cated Committee heart-felt thanks of the com-munity for a job well done!
Wishing everyone a very happy new year!!
Anne Scott Sooke Christmas

One New Years resolution well all be making.A full disposal ban on kitchen scraps at Hartland landfill takes effect January 1, 2015. The ban will divert compostable items like vegetables, meat, bones, grains, dairy products, fruit and soiled paper that currently take up thirty percent of the landfill. At the same time, diverted kitchen scraps will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will be processed into beneficial compost.So contact your waste hauler or municipality directly, plan for collection options and make a note on your calendar. Then we can all look forward to a happy, more sustainable New Year!For general information about the kitchen scrap diversion strategy visit www.crd.bc.ca/kitchenscraps

We depend on boxes. Our home box, car box, work box, school box, our storage box, P.O. box, oh you missed a box and while youre at it, take the pizza box out to the recycle box and put it next to our parking box.
Have you heard this before, Oh youre liv-ing in a new house, how many square lit-tle boxes is it? For me, square footage shouldnt be the ques-tion nor metric in dic-tating anyones success but for some reason it is. Wouldnt it be nice if the conversation would dovetail to questions about where you live, and why you live there? Is it close to nature? Does your monthly payment allow you to live with less stress, to enjoy your life? After all the only true currency we all share is time and health. If you live in Sooke you have some wonderful options to explore outside the box.
The Broomhill hike, about 2 to 2.5 hours round trip from the parking lot of the Wil-liam Simmons Memo-rial Park. The park-ing lot is just off Otter Point at the Industrial Park entrance. From there, take the Wieland
trail that runs parallel to the chain link fence and that will scoot you into the treeline. Imme-diately on crossing into the treeline there is a sense of adventure and excitement because of the striking contrast of the trail leading up. Its beautiful and quiet in here but as your senses adjust you can hear the creeks trickle, its a bit darker in here but as you travel onwards and upward the sun breaks through, if its that sort of day.
The trail is well marked and well flagged, soon you will notice a sign post that says: Broomhill trail, Summit Loop and But-ler Road. I take the Summit Loop.
This Broomhill eco-system grows at lei-surely pace, Mother Nature took her time rolling out the carpet of moss that stretches through these hills. The trail, in contrast looks like spilled coffee grounds, the sky opens and the trees are con-tent here. There are some steep sections of the Broomhill hike but they dont last for long. This time of year there are slippery roots so be careful to step over those.
There were a couple
of boxes that I have hauled around with me from apartment to house and from house to house. They must have be pretty important to me even though I couldnt tell you what was inside until I opened them up. Rick from Pawn Stars would have been con-siderably disappointed had I brought it to him first, these boxes were filled with seduction and ego. Old love let-
ters, tapes of old radio shows, some gifts. My DNA which stands for design, nature and art was in a box, I threw it a way so I could unbridle my growth pattern.
What matters is to live wisely and have fun, as that famous quote goes, at the end of the chess game the King and Pawn go into the same box.

Driving into the 21st Century
Theres some good news for Sooke. Finally, after years of negotiations and fundng applications work will begin on the much talked about roundabout.
Is it the right place for the roundabout? Some think not, others obviously think it is. Regardless, it will be built this summer and it will disrupt the traffic flow along Hwy. 14 for the duration of the construction. Hopefully we will all see the benefits once it is completed. There are enough roundabouts in the region for people to get used to using them. It is not difficult - you just keep keep driving to the left until you reach your exit off the roundabout. Large trucks will go right over the top of it, so drivers will need to be mindful of that aspect. You wouldnt win any kind of right-of-way contest with a fully loaded logging truck.
So, it will happen and we might as well embrace the concept and the push into the 21 century.
What will really be appreciated are some nice spanking new sidewalks. Sidewalks that actually follow a straight line and dont veer off onto the highway. The town core will get the first new sidewalks, which is great, but we need sidewalks everywhere in Sooke. We need to plan for safe travel into Sooke from at least the Prestige hotel. If we want the town to be walkable and tourist friendly, this ought to be the next step in the sidewalk upgrade planning process. Leaving people to walk along side the highway with no curbs or buffers from the traffic is foolhardy and unsafe. It makes one feel very vulnerable and just a moments distraction by a driver could result in an unfortunate incident between a vehicle and a pedestrian.
Sooke is no longer the sleepy little village it once was and we all know the traffic is steadily increasing. Maybe now we will see some improvement in the flow through town. Its time we got caught up.
ANOTHER VIEW
B.C. Views Did you do a cleanse to start
the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, detox your body?
Please, if you did, I dont want the details. Im here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being flogged.
Supplements, tea, homeopathy, coffee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxi-fied body, writes Ontario pharma-cist Scott Gavura, who treats can-cer patients with medicines most potent drugs.
Frustrated by the pharmacy industrys willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent condi-tions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search detoxfindhis take-down of this notion.
He traces the roots of purification rituals in religious and medical his-tory, such as when patients were bled with leeches.
Actual detox is administered in hospital for those with danger-ous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons. Credible physicians aban-doned theories of autointoxication in the 19th century.
Todays version of autointoxica-tion argues that some combination of food additives, salt, meat, fluo-ride, prescription drugs, smog, vac-cine ingredients, GMOs and perhaps
last nights bottle of wine are caus-ing a buildup of toxins in the body, Gavura writes. And dont forget glu-ten. Gluten is the new evil and there-fore, is now a toxin.
Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey organic produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides.
Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lug-ging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fill with water. Metro Van-couver is a rainforest, with some of the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid.
Discreet inquiries yielded similar answers. Aside from the odd super-stition about chlorine or fluoride, they had no idea at all. They didnt know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozonation, or what they were buy-ing, which was essentially municipal water run through a filter. They had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways.
Vaccinations? Dont get me started. In the past year I have had an argument with a registered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imag-ined right to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently over-came a vague taboo against putting
vaccines in her body.Its no wonder people constantly
fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actu-ally concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modified canola oil, or smart meters. The media are fre-quently part of the problem, lack-ing scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense.
Take Vancouver (please). The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropi-cal fruit juice in single-serving plas-tic bottles. Calling it Happy Planet convinced a new generation of urban rubes that theyre doing something for the environment. Plus, there are no chemicals in it, to cite the cen-tral myth of hippy science.
At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screening colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup.
Try that one if youre over 50.

Sirens needed
BC Hydro says that they cant decommis-sion the Jordan River dam because we need the power it produces. Im scratching my head, wondering where that power will come from if an earthquake does breach the dam.
They had warning sirens during the war and at least into the 50s. Why couldnt there be something like that to warn residents and overnight campers. People would know to be prepared to get out immediately if they heard the siren.

Picking a charity for me
I read with some interest your article in the January 14 edition on How to deal with Kitchen Scraps.
I found it interesting that Sooke Disposal is adding an additional $2 per month to my bill for charity. I have no issues with the chari-ties they selected but do have an issue with the fact that they are charging and selecting a charity on my behalf.
I contract Sooke Dis-posal to deal with my waste disposal and not to select on my behalf the charities I may or may not support. In addition will Sooke Disposal be provid-
ing charitable receipts to all its customers or shall they be accept-ing a tax deduction on its customers behalf as well.
Wayne McTaggartSooke
Better solution needed
While the rest of the world is starving and their children dig-ging through garbage dumps for their next meal, we are actu-ally paying to get rid of our food leftovers. Whats wrong with this picture? A sign that our North American lifestyles have finally caught up with us. Im feeling a little ashamed its come to this. yet here we are...
Hopefully by getting people to think more carefully about how to dispose of their excess food then perhaps we can learn to waste less. But those who have very little to begin with and are struggling to even feed families dont have less to waste. These families will also have to pay the same amount as their more affluent neighbours to have their food scraps carried off, even though their waste bins will likely be much less filled. Doesnt seem fair somehow.
The privatization of
this service makes it hard for low income families to afford it, and no doubt some folks will either not comply or choose to dump elsewhere. If the district cant come up with a way to subsidize pick up then perhaps a solution would be to have community food digesters installed in every neighbourhood so that all can partici-pate freely and equally. We will likely see less of a rodent and bear prob-lem than if we put totes full of fresh ripening leftovers on the streets on garbage days. How long will it take before the bears and rac-coons and maybe even cougars figure out the regular pick up sched-ules? A 32-gallon tote even with a closure, is no match for a hungry bear, its like opening a Tupperware container to them.
Another big con-cern is school children catching buses on pick up days, amidst these animal attrac-tors. School buses make their rounds at the same time as these fast food containers hit the streets for pick up.
Unlike the big cities whose main problem will be with rodents, rural areas like Sooke are not going to fare so well with edible gar-bage sitting at every street corner where the wildlife is abun-dant. it is not a good
mix, and council needs to reflect on options regarding this disaster in the making. From what Ive heard food digesters can work well to keep wildlife away if properly installed. It may be good to have them throughout the town, along with sealed holding areas for larger volumes.
The current program of privatized pickup is not equitable, or even really safe, Sooke needs the think outside the green box. Hopefully council will be looking closely at this before a mess ensues... literally.

Warfare games and rumbles
Due to a misunder-standing, and failure of clarity on my part, my note to the editor became a letter.
Most importantly, Id like to convey critical information for who live on the southern part of Vancouver Island and the US Navys plans to conduct electromag-netic warfare games on the Olympic Peninsula.
The two excellent articles by Washington State journalist Dahr Jamail can be found on both the Truthout and his ownwebsites; they were published in
December, 2014.They are: Docu-
ments Show Navys Electromagnetic War-fare Training Would Harm Humans and Wildlife, and Navy Plans Electromag-netic War Games Over National Park and For-est in Washington State.
Cst. Sean Heid-man, RCMP, is taking statements about the booms; file #2014-5324, tel 250/642-5241, ext. 5333, [email protected]
MP Elizabeth May is taking a serious interest in this matter ( http://www.timescol-onist.com/opinion/columnists/les-leyne-the-rumbles-could-be-felt - in-polit ical -world-1.1728617).
Our neighbours on the other side of the Juan de Fuca Strait are doing their best to organize and voice their opposition, and have told me our own actions against this plan will be greatly appreciated.

We asked: What would you like to see or not see in the Sooke News Mirror?
Its coming up to Anti-bullying Day and I would like to see more
people saying the same thing Im saying. More adults against
bullying.
Bill JonesSooke

its about people for me.
Kathy ColegraveSooke
I don't mind Tom Fletcher but I would like to see more

performed by the Buyer.
Issues brought to the
Buyer`s attention by their
Inspection Report typically
result in an attempt to
renegotiate the Sale Price or
have the Seller correct the
noted deficiencies. This
stress can be avoided if the
Seller has had a Building
Inspection performed at the
time of the Listing, has
addressed any issues and
provides Prospective Buyers a
copy of the Report
including steps taken to
address any Deficiencies.

Retirement gives one time to contemplate where the years have gone and marvel at the changes in our lifetime. The population of the world rose from 3 bil-lion in 1960 to 7 billion today. This is more population growth in the last 50 years than the previous 2 million years of human exis-tence. Our generations have been so indus-trious and tenacious across the world, that most of the planet has been adjusted by humans.
Sixty years ago in 1955 many of us were in our late teens or early 20s. Jobs were scarce, experience none, education mini-mal for many, with minimum wage less than a $1.00 per hour.
Gas was 25 cents a gal-lon though few could afford a car. We could not wait to experience life on our own. I was paid $15 a week at a job I felt lucky to have. The world opened up for those in the cities who could watch Ed Sullivan and I love Lucy on the new black & white TVs. The remote came later. Fifty years ago in 1965 wages had not improved much and good jobs always seemed hard to find. Most of us were adjust-ing to marriage, bud-geting and babies while we were still stumbling from child-hood to adulthood. The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins were magic in cinema-scope. Tom Jones, the Beatles and Elvis Pre-sleys music and mov-ies added an exciting naughty sexiness to entertainment. This caused the worlds saintly to huff and puff. That was the real beginning of freedom of speech. The world was changed and all that they feared has come true - innocence lost in ways they could
not have imagined.Technology and
development has sur-passed our wildest dreams. Our grandpar-ents and parents would not believe the luxuries we have today. Most had neither electricity or a phone. In 2015 the great grand kids can use a Smart Phone/computer before grade school. There have been many accomplish-ments in 50 years, with growth that we will never see again.
The planet has suf-fered unrepairable damage. In December 2014 environmental scientists from around the world met in Lima, Peru for a conference to let the world know that the planet is in great danger. The Arc-tic ice is melting so fast that if nothing is done it could be gone as early as September this year. It seems big oil and governments of the world can only cheer and compete over who gets the biggest pot of the resources under the ice. The scientists insist that this could make the planet unin-habitable for human
existence because of rising temperature.
The media has been slack and much too quiet about this danger. Our governments are not listening. There are some ideas of what can
be done to save the ice but governments must spend the money - Now. Space exploration can wait if they would just please save our planet Earth!

Later Life rambLingsSacred Chant CircleEver since the beginning of the earliest com-
munities, humans have gathered together to sing songs in praise of God, a Deity, Mother Nature or other representations of divinity that open the heart in love and devotion. However, it appears that, especially in our western society, singing can carry with it a certain amount of egocentricity and hoped-for stardom, hence the popularity of shows like The Voice, and the original American Idol.
To take the main focus off the individual and, instead, place it within a group setting is the aim of the weekly Sacred Chant Circle, which happens every Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. at the new Sooke Yoga & Wellness. Facilitated by Tm (Phil Ross-ner), a long-time guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and resident of Sooke, the sessions are becoming increasingly popular as people discover the joy of communal devotional singing. Chants and songs are from all spiritual traditions Judaism, Chris-tian, Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, American Native as well as the occasional popular song included that also has the effect of lifting the spirit (eg. Beatles, George Harrison, etc.)
As with meditation & mindfulness, which is also offered at Sooke Yoga every Sunday evening, the positive effects that these ancient traditions have on the mind and body have been scrutinized by the medical community and have been found to be extremely beneficial in having a profound heal-ing effect on a variety of ailments - PTSD, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure - and numerous other stress-related maladies.
Popular musicians who specialize in imparting this form of chant and kirtan include Snatam Kaur, Krishna Das, Deva Premal and numerous others. Now you have the opportunity to experience the beautiful and uplifting art of chant and song on a weekly basis free of charge in our community.
When: every Friday evening at 7:30 p.m.Where: Sooke Yoga & Wellness, 6750 Westcoast
Road, Sooke. Further information: contact Sooke Yoga at 250-
