As some Greater Victoria cities inch closer to a solution to the regional sewage treatment question, Sooke, with tertiary treatment already in place, watches carefully.

The reason? Sooke produces about 170 tonnes of sewage sludge every year, with all of it transported to the Hartland landfill in Saanich. The cost to the municipality is about $20,000 annually.

After years of studies, public consultation and debate, CRD directors decided to build two tertiary-treatment plants as the best option for mov-ing forward with the troubled mega project. (Tertiary treatment refers to cleaning sewage to a point that becomes usable water.)

That move could open the door to a better way to dispose of sewage sludge then having it trucked to a landfill, if the CRD directors approve a plan for resource recovery.

The sludge is sent to Hartland as a special waste, but its only happening because there is no other method of disposing of it. Its almost been done

on an emergency-type basis, said acting mayor Rick Kasper, who repre-sents Sooke on the CRD board.

Recently, the CRD board struck a subcommittee to look at options of dealing with the sludge and how it can be disposed of in a more environ-mentally friendly way. Treated sewage sludge is used in forestry, agricul-ture, land reclamation, composting and as an energy source.

Sooke is not the only community looking at source recovery for sludge. North Saanich shares a sewage treatment facility with Central Saanich, Sid-ney and the Psatsartilt First Nation, while Port Renfrew operates a system for 80 people.

The sludge issue must be straightened out eventually. Its the other part of the puzzle, said Juan de Fuca Electoral Area director Mike Hicks.

When they [the CRD] talk about treating biosolids theyre not just talk-ing about their own, theyre talking about Sookes too. Were not totally out of this. It does affect us.

The CRD board referred the disposal of sewage sludge back to staff to look at cost implications. A March 31 deadline looms for federal funding on regional sewage treatment.

Small fire temporarily shuts down Sooke A&W

Sooke Fire and Rescue responded to the A&W restaurant in Sooke after a bun warmer caught fire.

The fire was put out by restaurant staff using a fire extinguisher before fire crews arrived at the scene.

No one was injured.According to

Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen, the restaurant sustained no fire damage, however the fire extinguisher caused minor damage in the affected spot.

Log house burns down in Whiffen Spit

Friday evening became a long night for Sooke Fire and Rescue, Metchosin and Otter Point firefighters as they battled the flames of after a log house on McMillan Road in Whiffen Spit.

The building, which was vacant for several years, was entirely engulfed in flames at the time fire crews arrived, said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen.

There was fire coming out the roof, out every window and door, and its been burning for some time, he said, adding that the fire, which started around 8:30 p.m., took at least two hours to bring under control.

Last fire crew were at the site until midnight.

This was the second time this log house caught fire, the last time being in

November 2009, noted Sorensen. No one has been living in it since.

Exact cause of the fire remains unknown, though local authorities suspect foul play.

Sorensen said it was fortunate the fire occurred while everything is still cold and wet around.

Were just lucky it wasnt during the summer, because sparks were going everywhere.

Funding restored for Park Watch

District of Sooke council has restored $5,000 in funding to Juan de Fuca Park Watch Society.

Funding was cut to $1,000 last year by council on the recommendation of its grants committee.

The park watch program is run by volunteers from May to September, with a focus on preventing theft from vehicles, break-ins and vandalism.

Last year, volunteer patrollers handed out more than 30,000 brochures.

The program serves parks from Matheson Lake to Aylard Farm, Sooke Potholes, French Beach, China Beach and Botanical Beach in Port Renfrew.

Trail group receives support

District of Sooke council is supporting the Southern Vancouver Island Nature Trails Society in its vision of shared use and wilderness trail connections.

Pacific Gateway Marina makes waves in Port Renfrew as it inches towards summer opening Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

After years of negotiations and plan-ning, the all-season Pacific Gateway Marina in Port Renfrew is expected to open this summer with a capacity to hold 60 permanent boats and several transient boats.

The marinas controversial develop-ment process fell into limbo last year when its proposed 150-boat capacity and location near the San Juan River created waves with Port Renfrew locals and the Pacheedaht First Nation, who pointed out its proximity to the river would affect salmon fishing patterns and ancient burial sites.

As a result, the marina was redesigned and relocated further down the shore, said Andrew Purdey, CEO of Ruskin Con-struction and PGMs developer, adding that the effort was made to meet the requirements of the community.

There was a process of working with the various special interest groups and

weve come to a common ground, every-ones happy, and thats what were going to build, he said, hoping the marina will open May 15, if all goes well.

The marina reduced its number of boats to 60, and will also include avail-able berth to handle up to a 60-foot yacht all year long.

Recently, PGM renewed its temporary use permit with the Capital Regional Dis-trict to operate as-is until its rezoning application goes through, said Purdey, though it wont be for another year.

Still, he remains optimistic things will go smoothly from this point on.

I want to build the most efficient sport fishing marina on the West Coast, and it will be a spot where people with the odds can come in, Purdey said. Its good news in the community and the fishing community that weve built a facility where people can enjoy the West Coast safely 12 months a year.

While the Pacheedaht agreed with the marinas changes, the First Nation hopes the developer will address its concerns

regarding the marinas effect on fish hab-itat.

There is no 100 per cent guarantee that the salmon migration will not be disrupted, and therefore ongoing evalu-ation of the impacts will be important in protecting the fishery, wrote Pacheed-aht spokesperson Kristine Pearson in an email.

Pearson added that no agreement was struck with the federal government, and that the First Nation felt it had no alternative but to accept the redesigned marina.

Both governments have failed to uphold the honour of the Crown or to engage in meaningful consultation, she said, adding that negotiations with PGM are ongoing.

While a rezoning application is still underway, Purdey said other marina facilities are in the plans, such as access to food, fuel and boat maintenance, including a lodge once the rezoning pro-cess is finished.

More greenery along the town cores boulevard is in the books, as roundabout centrepiece remains to be determinedKevin LairdSooke News Mirror

Sooke will beautify its new traffic roundabout with flowers and low-grow-ing bushes, as part of its multi-million-dollar town centre project.

District council gave the go-ahead last week to plant native and colourful, sea-sonal plantings, but postponed plans to include artwork or artifacts in the round-about until traffic studies were complete.

Substantial public art is needed in the community, but the centre of the round-about may not be the best location, said Drew Johnston, Sooke Program for the Arts chair, which made recommenda-tions to council.

The reason? Art could be hit by a vehi-cle and damaged. It would also be difficult to get to the art to view it without imped-ing traffic.

The Ministry of Transportation needs to be consulted for placement of art with consideration given to viewpoints and sight lines on the roundabout.

Putting the final touches on the round-about are delayed due to inclement weather, said acting mayor Rick Kasper.

When you start late in the season and then youre inundated with lousy weather, it puts you in a bind, Kasper said, adding there were also surprises with the project including the discovery of sinkholes.

Coun. Brenda Parkinson said both the

SPA and parks and trails committee had many people and groups approach them about beautifying the roundabout area and the town center.

We had one suggestion to buy a piece of artwork for $30,000, she said.

It seems more prudent to wait and see how the roundabout goes and look at how everything in the project fits together.

Work on the project is expected to be completed by the end of March.

Meanwhile, the district is thanking local business owners for being patient as the Transportation Ministry addresses

the deficiency list related to the round-about work.

We understand this work had a nega-tive effect on local businesses and appre-ciate the support we received from good corporate citizens, Village Food Cen-tre, Home Hardware, Wood Travel and Cruise, Sooke Fax & Copy Centre, Island Land Surveying Ltd, Sooke Dance Studio and Randy Clarkson and Laurie Wallace (West Coast Design), who worked closely with district staff to mitigate disruptions said chief administrative officer Teresa Sullivan.


Wet weather didnt stop Devin Gatey from laying out the last remaining bricks of the sidewalk in the Sooke core. Atey has been working to finish off the project for the last two weeks, finalizing what originally started as a behemoth construction project last summer.

Sooke roundabout centre artwork not expected to come round soon

New amenities could soon be on the way to John Phillips Memorial Park.

Sooke council will consider adding public washrooms, loop trail, picnic tables and benches following a recommendation from the parks and trails advisory advisory committee.

The recommendations were forwarded to a future budget meeting.

Over the years there have been several proposals on how to develop the park from building a library, horseshoe pitches, even a bike skills facility.

Earlier this year, the committee hosted an information meet-

ing on the park at SEAPARC Leisure Complex where residents were asked to prioritize what they wanted to see at the park. There was also an online survey.

Acting mayor Rick Kasper applauded the current proposals but would like to see some provision for parking.

This would give some additional opportunities for people that either have a physical impairment or have a hard time going down the stairs in order to get access to the park, he said.

John Phillips Memorial Park was created in 2005 and is the largest green space in Sookes urban core at 7.75 hectares.

Insurance fraudsters are increasingly being tripped up online by their own social media postings.

ICBC says it opened 2,350 cyber cases last year where investigators used social media or other online postings to try to uncover suspected fraudulent or exaggerated crash claims.

Social media is a growing area thats been highly success-ful for us, said Chris Fairbridge, manager of ICBCs Special Inves-tigations Unit.

When youve got pictures and youve got video and youve got posts of what youve been doing, its pretty hard for anybody to look at that and say youre tell-ing the truth when youve exag-gerated.

Fairbridge said the dedicated unit now has 10 investigators dedicated to cyber cases, up from two when it was started in 2010.

About 70 per cent of their investigations have some effect in reducing payout costs or lead-ing to a complete denial.

One 2015 example was a B.C.

woman who claimed crash inju-ries kept her from returning to work as a hairdresser, but posted on Twitter and Facebook about hiking, running and being one of the hardest hitters on the roller derby team shed just joined. She settled for half her original claim after being con-fronted with her social media posts.

In another case that went to court, a woman sought $1 mil-lion after being hit by a motor-cycle in a crosswalk. A judge awarded her just $20,000 and ordered her to pay $34,000 in ICBC costs after deciding from social media posts and other evidence that shed grossly exaggerated her injuries.

Other phoney claimants were undone by their friends social media postings.

A Lower Mainland man said he couldnt go back to his desk job after a crash but investiga-tors found a friends Facebook photo of him later running a gru-eling obstacle race in Whistler, as well as a video of him taking down an opponent in a mixed martial arts bout. Shown the evi-dence, he quickly settled, citing a miraculous recovery.

ICBC also denied a Kamloops mans claim that vandals burned his truck after finding evidence the fire was suspicious and a Craigslist posting trying to sell the truck because he couldnt afford to pay for its repairs.

Penalties may go beyond reduced or denied payouts.

Fairbridge said there were 520 successful fraud convictions in the last five years, some leading to jail time.

Those convicted may not be able to cross the border again or may have trouble getting a loan or a job, he noted.

Asked if fraudsters are getting wise and going dark on social media after a claim, Fairbridge said no.

People cant help them-selves.

An estimated 10 to 20 per cent of auto insurance claims are fraudulent or exaggerated, cost-ing an extra $600 million a year in B.C. and adding $100 to the insurance premiums of the aver-age driver.

Were not going to tolerate that, were not going to pass those costs along to honest cus-tomers, Fairbridge [email protected]

Not much is needed now except the refugee family the Team Sooke/Juan de Fuca refugee Sponsorship Committee is waiting for.

Sid Jorna, chair of the committee said they have already raised over $30,000 and all of the paperwork is to connect them with a family.

We have no idea of the timeline, said Jorna. It takes a long time and depends on what country they have asylum in.

Jorna said their team of six contact people are now all trained and certified. They have taken sensitivity training through the Sponsorship

Agreement Holder, the Anglican Diocese and the Catholic Diocese. Cultural training and background checks are all done.

Our team has an ESL specialist and settlement agencies in Victoria have a complete range of anticipated services. We are supported by all kinds of people around that.

The team still have $15,000 to raise to help support a family of four for one year.

Every cent goes to the refugee family, there is no overhead, said Jorna.

They Said It

Our View

Beginning in todays edition, Black Press and the Sooke News Mirror will take an in-depth look at the sewage issue which has plagued and puzzled residents throughout the Capital Region for decades.

The Capital Regional Districts core area liquid waste management committee has recommended moving ahead with a wastewater treatment program that will feature treatment plants at Victorias Clover Point and either McLoughlin or Macaulay

points in Esquimalt. Theres reason for optimism

that Greater Victoria will finally find an alternative to pumping untreated sewage a kilometre out from shore into Juan de Fuca Strait. However, weve been here before, only to see the plan unravel amid political infighting.

The CRD identified McLoughlin Point as the preferred site for a single treatment plant back in 2014. That plan never made it past the initial designs as Esquimalt council rejected the

CRDs rezoning application in a series of raucous public hearings.

Theres reason to believe Esquimalt may be more receptive in this go-round, as a Victoria plant serves to share the load on sewage flows.

The issue has taken some dramatic turns in recent weeks. The initial seven options, each of which included a main plant at Rock Bay, fell by the wayside as the committee focused on sites near existing outfalls at Clover and Macaulay points, saving the

$250-million cost of piping the effluent there.

But the project still carries an estimated cost of more than $1 billion, which would translate to estimated household costs ranging from a low of $352 a year in Saanich to a high of $741 in Colwood.

To address those costs, along with the technical advances in sewage treatment and the regions history with the issue, Black Press assembled a team of reporters, photographers and

graphic designers, who devoted hundreds of hours researching the subject and putting together a two-part series that runs the next two Wednesdays.

We can only hope that this time we are finally on the road to a solution and wont be sitting in the same place two years down the road, wondering how we got here.

We want to hear from you.

Substantial public art is needed in Sooke, but the cen-tre of the roundabout may not be the best location.

There was a process of working with the various special interest groups and weve come to a common ground.

We aim to be sending a senior team to the provincials in two to three years from now.

David SuzukiGuest Comment

Remote Australian communities often use diesel generators for power. Theyre expensive to run and emit pollution and greenhouse gases. Even people who dont rely entirely on generators use Australias power grid, which is mostly fuelled by polluting, climate-altering coal.

Now, one company is showing that supplying Australias energy neednt be expensive or polluting.

AllGrid Energy produces 10 kilowatt-hour solar-power batteries that take advantage of Australias abundant sunlight and growing demand for solar panels. Their lead-acid gel battery is less expensive than Teslas lithium Powerwall, also available in Australia.

Its an example of the rapid pace of

renewable energy development one that clears a hurdle previously confronting many clean-energy technologies: their variable nature.

Many argue that because solar and wind energy only work when sun shines or winds blow, and output varies according to cloud cover, wind speed and other factors, they cant replace large baseload sources like coal, oil, gas and nuclear. But batteries and other energy storage methods, along with power-grid improvements, make renewables competitive with fossil fuels and nuclear power.

With storage and grid technologies advancing daily, renewable energy could easily and relatively quickly replace most fossil fuel-generated electricity. In Canada, Ontarios Independent Electricity System Operator contracted five companies to test

a number of storage systems, including batteries, hydrogen storage, kinetic flywheels and thermal systems that store heat in special bricks. Ontario is aiming to get about 50 per cent of its installed generating capacity from renewable sources by 2025.

The main renewable-energy storage methods are thermal, compressed air, hydrogen, pumped hydroelectric, flywheels and batteries. Some are better for large scale and some for small scale.

Renewable energy with storage has a number of advantages over fossil fuels. It can discharge power to the grid to meet demand more quickly and efficiently, and its less prone to disruption, because power sources are distributed over a large area, so if one part is knocked out by a storm, for example, other parts keep the system

running. Many fossil fuel and nuclear power systems require a lot of water for cooling and so can be affected by drought, and nuclear power systems are expensive and take a long time to build. Clean-energy technology also creates more jobs than fossil fuel development.

Because renewables dont pollute or create greenhouse gas emissions, they also help lower costs for health care and the ever-increasing impacts of climate change. Although every energy source comes with consequences, the damage and risks from mining, processing, transporting and using coal, oil, bitumen and uranium, and from fracking and other extraction methods, are far greater than for clean energy.

WE ASKED YOU: Would you vote to increase the minimum wage to $15?

I think it should be increased, especially considering the cost of living these days.

Dola ParsonsSooke

Yes, just because of the high cost of living.

Paul DrennanSooke

No, because it would likely increase the cost for goods and services, or companies will likely just find another way to cut costs.

Josh SkinnerSooke

Yup, I would, because of the cost of living.

Finally getting a whiff of ones own medicine

Good for acting mayor Rick Kasper setting the record straight about Sookes sewage treatment... I have long suspected its something in the air around Victoria that makes those residents claim that their effluentdoesnt stink, or why has it taken so many years to admit otherwise?

International Womens Day just not enough

March 8 is not a date most people regard as having any significance. Not a stat day off work or school. Since 1975, it has been International Womens Day.

If ever society needed an International Womens Day, its now. To remind women, men and children, of how it used to be and still is worldwide for half the population.

A country which calls itself the most progressive in the worldstill does not have the word women in its constitution which in effect would prohibit gender discrimination in the United States.

A few Sooke female council members participated in last years Tea and Hat event.

The focus in the February 24issue of Sooke News Mirrorchamber chatter article by theSooke Chamber of Commerce wasto celebrate social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women,appearing two weeks prior to the designated day.

This years Teaand Hat was

on March 6, likely to maximize attendance on a weekend.Why even bother with International Womens Day?

Mediahasnow normalizedreferring to adult women as girls as was the case pre-1970s,prior tothe Womens Movement.

Closer to home, this newspapers writers frequently use masculine form in their articles. These professional wordsmiths perhaps need to delegate editing to ensure language is gender and orientation inclusive.

With the top spots governing jobs in Sooke occupied by women, perhaps another precedent could be set.

Naming of the next new street or parkafter a female of historical significance would be a visible validation of one womans blood, sweat and tears of this town, whichis long overdue.

Back to the future again and again

I won the debate about instituting Daylight Savings Time in 1954 as a high school senior in Oregon.

I wish I had lost. Back in my whimsical youth I didnt know better.

Now at 80, as a retired sea captain, I can see the light, and its not saving daylight.

The other day I desired to get some photos of the noon light and realized I had to wait until 1 oclock to get my noon sights.

As mariners we determine our longitude by the noon sighting, 1200, not 1300.

If landlubbers want to have

an extra hour of daylight after work, simply go to work an hour earlier. Everybody can go to work an hour earlier, dont change the clock, change your work time.

I used to change 25 clocks twice a year with boats, cars, home, and business. Give me a break.

We live in a really awkward time of civilization, with some very stupid customs. District Standard Time is just one, but we live with it.

Why dont we have 13 months of 28 days a year instead of 12 months of various days? The Earth has 13 moons a year and women (half of the Earths inhabitants) generally experience 13 menstrual cycles a year.

Speaking of years, do you really think they were counting down the years 3,000 years ago to reach zero (BC) and then start counting up (AD)? More religious nonsense, and yet we live with it.

And here is a stroke of mental genius - a natural plant of the Earth has been declared illegal: cannabis saliva (marijuana). Yet we live with it, or without it.

But maybe we are seeing the light on this last one.

We call ourselves rational?Ralph Hull

Much applause for putting on a great show

As one of the prime organizers for the sold-out Chilliwack show which took place this last Saturday at the Sooke Community Theatre at EMCS, I would just like to take the opportunity to thank

my fellow organizers: Steve Anderson, Mel Dobres and Leighanne Georgeson, as well as all the many volunteers who came together on the day of the event.

Elida PeersContributed

Today as we cruise down the hill approaching Coopers Cove when driving out from Victoria, with perhaps a quick glance at the quiet cove, noting small boats and kayaks, we see a background view of a closed-down industrial site.

Probably its hard to believe the enormity of the sawmilling enterprise that sustained much of Sookes working population for several decades, but this aerial photograph might help. The plane is flying low approaching Goodridge Peninsula in the foreground, heading from the East Sooke side. In the background today you would see the subdivision of Ludlow and Ayum Road, but this 1960s photo was taken long before that subdivision went in.

The enterprise was started by returning Second World War veteran Harry Helgesen in 1946 at Helgesen Road in Sooke, but soon moved to the Goodridge Peninsula site, where they could expand in all directions. When Harry Helgesen partnered with Bill Grunow the mill became Goodridge Sawmill, and later, when Grunow partnered with Hershel Smith, it became Sooke Forest Products. More changes followed, and in 1989 the mill closed.

The photo is centred by an Island Tug & Barge Company chip barge, with two hogfuel barges behind. These barges would be towed to Port Angeles or Crofton,

and were generally towed by Doug MacFarlanes DEMAC. The green chain locations are just left of the barges. Milled lumber was trucked across the causeway (at left, out of photo) and hauled to Victoria for shipping, predominantly to the eastern seaboard, with some to local markets.

The extensive array of log booms in the close foreground were the responsibility of booming contractor Len Jones, who kept a crew of boom men employed there for many years. Timber delivered to the site for booming included Douglas-fir, western hemlock, balsam and red cedar. In its later years, the mill cut only cedar, and was regarded as one of the most efficient sawmills in Canada.

In its heyday, the 60s and 70s, the mill employed 400 men in three shifts around the clock. In fact, we residents would often be governed by the mill whistles; for instance the 11 p.m. whistle meant it was bedtime and the 7 a.m. whistle meant time to get up.

Close to the road that you see at far right, observe the dump and logbooms belonging to B.C. Forest Products at the left of the little inlet (theres a restaurant there today), while on the right, you see the log dump used by logger Ted Shaw. While this site was the source of pay cheques that fed hundreds of Sooke families, that era is long gone.

What is good about this coming Friday? It is a day commemorated by followers of Jesus for the better part of the last two millennia. It is a day to remember his betrayal, arrest, trials, sentence, beatings, and death on a cross. It is

a day of remembrance and mourning, much like a funeral or memorial. Doesnt sound like it should be called Good Friday, does it? But what every follower of Jesus knows is that the drama of Good Friday doesnt end with the lifeless body of Jesus being sealed in a tomb. Early in the morning on Sunday a discovery was made that impacted the whole world. Jesus did what he said he would do. He overcame death and the grave. He came back from the dead after three days and presented himself to hundreds of witnesses. This Friday is called Good not because of what happened on that day, but because it set the stage for the greatest day in history - Resurrection Day. Have you ever wondered why Christians gather for worship primarily on Sunday mornings? Its a weekly celebration and reminder of the resurrection of Jesus. Youre invited to drop in at a church this Sunday morning to learn why the resurrection is such a big deal. Theres also a special inter-church sunrise outdoor service hosted at Sooke Baptist church at 7:30am. All are welcome!

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Lately, theres been many oohs and aahs coming from the Sooke Fire Hall, but its not sirens or fire trucks making the noise, its the firefighters over the latest piece of equipment.

Weighing in at a few pounds and made by hand entirely out of wood, it is a 1:25th scale replica model of the departments flag-ship, the Rosenbauer Cobra lad-der fire truck.

This is the biggest and most complex truck Ive ever built, said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen, who shares a lifelong passion for building wooden models, fire trucks in particular.

This is the chiefs 12th truck, joining a rich collection of exist-ing models hes built over the years, most now displayed in his office. With detail and functional-ity though, the Rosenbauer easily is the biggest accomplishment. Or, as Sorensen puts it, its the result of a lifelong process.

Each one gets a little better. Like anything, you refine it as you go along, he said.

The project took five years, more than 3,000 hours of work and hundreds and hundreds of metic-ulously created wooden parts that not only had to be exactly to scale, but to also fit and work together properly.

No doubt, this wooden master-piece is teeming with super-cool features, such as a fully function-ing ladder system that stretches out and folds into itself along with retractable support mounts and a rotating superstructure, all like the real deal.

Devil in the details include switches and control dials on the sides, ladders in the rear with a functioning sliding door, full interior with opening doors and proper firefighting equipment. Even the seats fold up and down.

Sorensen recalled the biggest challenge was the ladder and the accompanying mechanism, which was initially prone to warping or snapping off.

All pieces were individually cut out and made to fit together, and then held all together as the glue sets to keep it straight, because its really easy to warp and twist, Sorensen said.

It did help a lot to have the real truck to use as a visual reference. Sorensen used factory scaled drawings, and lots of photographs to help with the trucks overall

proportions.Sorensen picked up the wood-

carving hobby from his dad, a professional carpenter who ran a business building cabinets. At age nine, Sorensen built his first fire truck out of wood using basic tools in his dads workshop.

Now, with the flagship fire truck finished, Sorensen turns his sights on the next project, perhaps even

adding features such as LED lights to the existing one.

I might now have to do the pumper truck too, have a little set, he said.

Sorensen hopes to find a place or an event to display the big lad-der fire truck, though, despite the collective groans of adults and kids alike, its not a toy.

[email protected]

A labour of love: fire chief builds model fire truck Handmade masterpiece took more than 3,000 hours, and hundreds of individually-built wooden parts to turn the wooden replica into what it is today. And patience. Lots and lots of patience.


Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen stands proudly by his handbuilt scale model of the fire departments Rosenbauer ladder truck. Notice the opening doors.

The B.C. government is ending its practice of deducting WorkSafeBC death benefits from income assistance col-lected by the survivors.

The regulatory change is being made after Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog ques-tioned the government about a constituent who has had her four-year-old sons benefit deducted since she began receiving income assistance.

The father disap-peared and was pre-sumed drowned while working on a log boom at Port Mellon in 2011, before the child was born.

The boy was eligible for $286.72 per month in a WorkSafeBC benefit because his father was killed on the job, but under the provinces income assistance pol-icy, that amount was deducted, leaving the mother with $658 a month.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stil-well said Tuesday she has instructed min-istry staff to change the regulation, similar to a change that was made last September to exempt Canada Pen-sion Plan orphan ben-efits.

Stilwell said there appear to be only a few cases involv-ing WorkSafeBC, and she was not aware of them when regulations were changed to stop deducting CPP and parental child support payments.

As with many gov-

ernment benefits, when it comes to staff mem-bers, they follow it word for word, Stilwell said.

As of last Septem-ber, single parents on income assistance are allowed to keep child support payments made by the other par-ent.

That affected about 3,200 families and 5,400 children.

NDP social develop-ment critic Michelle Mungall said that since the Nanaimo case came to light, MLAs have heard of similar cases involving WorkSafeBC child benefits.

She urged the gov-ernment to make the change as quickly as possible.

New Democrats advocated for more than a year to end the child support clawback, and we saw success on that, and at the same time, the government made the right decision to end the clawback of CPP orphan benefits, Mungall said.

Somehow they ignored this one and the minister needs to account for why they ignored it.

Income assistance payments in B.C. were last increased in 2007.

For an employable adult, the rate is $235 per month plus a maxi-mum shelter allowance of $375 a month.

For an employable single parent with one child, the rate is $375.58 plus $570 for shelter.
