Dwindling membership and a place to call home are stumbling blocksOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

For seniors, the Sooke Community Hall, which serves as the Seniors Drop In Centre, isnt just a place to gather and socialize, its a lifeline and one that is just breaths away from flatlining.

The number of volunteers and members

is one of several issues to be discussed at the organizations annual general meeting Dec. 3, which includes the ongoing search for a treasurer and vice president, positions that havent been filled in years.

Dec. 10 will mark the last day of operation for the drop-in centre, as well as the last day of bingo for 2015.

But as the centre is set to re-open its doors on Jan. 12, its future is uncertain, particularly if Carol Pinalski, the organizations president, has to fill her role again next year.

Im getting to the end of my tether, laughed Pinalski, who hasnt been relieved

of her position for the last eight years because there simply was no one around to do it.

Ive worked so hard to try and get a place for us. Id just hate to give it up, but I dont know whats going to happen, she said.

In recent memory, the seniors drop in centre started off at the corner of Otter Point and Sooke road (where Academy Dental is located now) there, the building was fully-independent, close to the town core, and open to anybody over 55 to drop in for coffee, or a bite to eat, or to simply visit and socialize.

The organization had almost 300 members, but after it had to move, Pinalski said it just went downhill from there.

We had no place to go. Firefighters let us use their lounge, but eventually they needed their lounge back, so now were at the community hall, she said, adding that even on itself was, and is, a challenge.

Were non-profit, so we dont make any money we cant afford to be paying $2,000 a month for rent.

A stolen pickup truck carrying looted property was recovered by Sooke RCMP on Nov.10 following a high-speed chase on Highway 10 near Port Renfrew.

Prior to the chase, police responded to a sighting of the vehicle, a white Toyota Tacoma truck stolen overnight in Sooke, in the area of Sombrio Beach and Port Renfrew.

Mounties tried to pull the vehicle over, but the driver drove off at high speed, evading any attempt to be captured, said Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur.

By this point, the Integrated Road Safety Unit intervened and set up a roadblock on Highway 14 near Sandcut Creek, where the suspect was able to brake and turn around just before hitting the spike belt.

Heading back towards Port Renfrew, the suspect lost control of the truck and skidded out onto the opposite shoulder. Unable to get the vehicle going again, the suspect took off on foot, running down

the highway. He was arrested a short distance later.

Michael Alexander Bruce, 26, of Sooke is charged with several driving-related charges, possession of stolen property, theft and other charges.

Fortunate as we are to be living in an age when women can serve in the military next to men and be recognized on the same level, the idea was still a novelty not that long ago something Sooke veteran Camille Tkacz knows a few things about.

Having served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 35 years, Tkacz was part of only a handful of women in the military who pushed towards recognition and equality.

She was also involved in many peacekeeping missions, as well as combat operations in Bosnia and Hertzecovina and Afghanistan.

As a woman, you couldnt expect in those days to go into a field unit directly to become a sergeant major, if you wanted to do something, you had to play the same game as the men did.

Camille Tkacz

Sitting behind a desk was just never her thing, and sure enough, she made the decision to do something about it early in life.

In 1973 at age 20, in her first year of

university, she was given two offers in one week: one was to be come an airline stewardess, the other to go into the military.

She chose the military.

By the time she finished her degree, she was already a master corporal, and remained with the Canadian Armed Forces until her retirement at age 55.

Again though, it wasnt easy, as back then, it was very much a mans world. It didnt help either that in those years, the military didnt allow women in combat; but that didnt stop Tkacz from reaching the goal of what she wanted from her career.

As a woman, you couldnt expect in those days to go into a field unit directly to become a sergeant major, if you wanted to do something, you had to play the same game as the men did, she said.

Once an established NCO, being in the field was far more satisfying to her due to the hands-on experience, as compared to an office clerk or administrative job behind a desk.

She spent a year in Bosnia and Herzecovina during the Bosnian War, in what she calls roto zero a military term for the first unit to set everything up and put everything in place. And even though her mission was initially a peacekeeping one, the operation had quickly

turned into a military force.

What amazed me about Bosnia is that it was such a change from doing the Olympics one year before, to using the Olympic soccer fields for a mass grave site, she said. They were such a modern country, and to see how quickly things can change was pretty shocking.

And regardless of how much training and preparation goes in place, witnessing and dealing with death is still an emotional and deep part of human nature.

The hardest part for me was to ask people to do things that I knew were going to maybe affect them for the rest of their lives, such as going to work with the infantry that were helping us in areas of mass graves, Tkacz said.

Her experience in

Bosnia was only part of it, as her challenge as a high-ranking woman in the military was still hard to accept for some, especially in the Eastern European block where such positions were essentially non-existent, along with the idea of soldiers having a voice in the first place.

The hardest part for me was to ask people to do things that I knew were going to maybe affect them for the rest of their lives.

Camille Tkacz

One time, she made a speech to some military people. They were really taken with her, but not in the way she hoped.

They thought,

thats what we need, a lot of those really aggressive women, good soldiers, we can do this, and NATO will love us. I later get a call, saying they were very impressed with me, and that they went and took every cook and every secretary and made them a sergeant.

Her reaction was to re-explain that regardless of the fact that they were women, they still needed to start at a low rank like every other man, to learn to be a soldier, learn to handle a weapon, and actually develop the ability to lead before becoming a sergeant.

Mind you, it wasnt without a positive result many countries had to completely revamp their military, and Tkacz spent several years doing professional development and training, as well

as teaching other countries how to have NCOs who were empowered to speak.

With an illustrious military career behind her, she moved

to Sooke with her husband, becoming service officer at the Royal Canadian Legion and volunteering at the Sooke Food Bank and seniors homes.

Ceremony pays tribute to the fallenRemembrance Day

It was an emotional day in Sooke last Wednesday as hundreds of people gathered at the Cenotaph to honour Canadas veterans and fallen soldiers.

The official Remembrance Day ceremony was attended by stooped veterans, serving members of the Canadian Forces and hundreds of ordinary Canadians, who lined the sidewalks and grounds of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The District of Sooke is retaining the services of the Capital Regional District for animal control services.

Sooke has had an animal services contract with the CRD, since its incorporation in 1999.

The new contract is for a one-year term and begins Jan. 1. The contract is paid through the $3.5-million CRD requisition and doesnt affect Sookes municipal budget.

So far this year, CRD animal services has responded to more than 270 complaints in Sooke, including 82 for dogs at large.

Sooke is a fairly busy community and as a community

grows, so do complaints about animals, said Don Brown, manager of bylaws and animal care for the CRD.

As part of the contract, Sooke will get regular patrols

by animal control officers throughout the week, and an officer is available on-call at night and on weekends.

Last year the CRD seized more than 600 dogs and 350 cats throughout Greater Victoria with virtually every animal being re-homed, Brown said, adding seven years ago the CRD won a national award for re-homing animals and last year was runner-up to New York City in an international competition.

Along with enforcement, CRD animal services also conducts public education workshops and uses volunteers to exercise and help look after animals in its care.

Sooke, CRD ink new deal for animal control services

Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke MP Randall Garrison has been appointed a prominent role in the NDP shadow cabinet.

Garrison was appointed as National Defence and LGBTQ Issues critic on

Thursday by NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair.

We have a lot of work cut out for us and were ready to get results for Canadians, said Garrison.

The NDP team in Ottawa is strong,

experienced and will work hard to ensure the new government fulfils its promises for change.

Garrison will also push for the NDPs priorities, like setting firm targets for the reduction

of greenhouse gas emissions, public health care and reforming the electoral system.

In the previous Parliament, Garrison held the critics role for Public Safety.

The drop-in centre has been at the community for the last two years.

While sharing a facility with another entity in the community was always an acceptable avenue, the community hall isnt ideal for folks in their 70s and 80s to navigate.

Acting mayor Kevin Pearson said there are a number of groups and a local government that are working towards a one-shot solution, albeit not without its own series of financial

challenges. Theres opportunity

there for a total refurbishment or have another facility built, but in the end, its an economical question, he said.

Without assistance from outside of the community, its a tough goal for us to come up with the funding.

A process of some kind is already underway on exploring options for a better facility to serve as the Seniors Drop In Centre, but that process still remains under a pile of paperwork and careful planning.

We dont want to make a hasty decision,

we want to look at the longevity of a project, because this is one that will carry us through many

generations going down the road. Do it once, do it well, Pearson said.

They Said It

Our View

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Thats an expression worth remembering now and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, its something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated.

That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic.

It should be a good thing if

someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams.

Whether its greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response just enough to encourage the behaviour.

And once a person and their money are parted, its exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back.

Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets.

When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or

uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back.

And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. Its the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street.

There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. Its up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

Just ask and youll avoid a financial scamWE SAY: There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons

Every time I think of the Sooke Community Hall, I picture a single mother working around the clock to take care of her children. Shes there to feed them, shes there to entertain them, and shes there to provide a shelter.

For more than a century, shes managed to care for tens of thousands of children, aka, us, the Sookies.

Some may wonder, why I refer to the community hall as a single mom well, thats because it is the only building in Sooke that feverishly operates around the clock for an almost ludicrous amount of people: from the Meals on Wheels crew who prep the food for immobilized seniors, to Sooke Food Bank volunteers who organize food items, the Sooke Fall Fair who use it as an event area, as a dojo by the Sooke Martial Arts Association, and as an acoustic concert hall by musical organizations such as Sooke Philharmonic and Sooke Cabaret.

It also serves as the Sooke Seniors Drop In

Centre for last two years.Lets just face it, the Sooke Community Hall is

one of the most intimately-used building on the Island.

At the same time, it doesnt take a city planner to notice the building is outdated. From its hit or miss interior lighting, its time-capsule exterior, to its just-satisfactory disabled access, to kitchen facilities so limited, its a miracle anyone gets anything done in there.

Dont get me wrong, Im not poking at anyone for the community halls state, in fact a hand of applause is needed for the folk at the Sooke Community Association who keep it from falling into ruin. But they cant do it alone, not anymore.

In a recent letter to Sooke council, the SCA highlights the matter, saying it does not have the know-how or funds to make the necessary improvements to the hall.

So what to do? Well, just ask any Sookie walking

down the street about the hall, and youll find it is sacred to them. Its a temple, an office, a place to socialize in. If it falls into decay, there will be nothing left to repair, or to pass on to the next generation.

The answer to making the hall better for Sooke does not lie in external help as some may have pointed out in the past. On the contrary, it lies here, among us, in this giving and nourishing community, because the hall technically belongs to no one and everyone, and deserves the same nourishing heart that she has given us.

Mourners left out with no elevator key

On Nov. 7, a very beautiful and heart-filled Celebration of Life was held at Sooke Community Hall.

It seems more often our hall is being used for these celebrations. It brings our wonderful community together for the grieving families and friends that are still close by, from out of town or from far away.

On this occasion, a longtime Sooke resident and close friend to family was unable to attend as there was no one present outside to operate the elevator.

Being such an emotional time the last thing anyone thinks of is the key to the elevator. Hearing the touching speeches can leave anyone teary eyed.

I was wondering why is there no one available for hire to

operate the elevator when you rent the hall? You could offer the contract to one of our local security services or let the person renting the hall have the option.

No one should be left out in the cold.

Parks contractor goes above and beyond

Has anyone else noticed our parks gardening contractor out in inclimate weather cutting, pruning and keeping not only our public spaces in great shape but also weed wacking, and blowing the debris off the roadways coming into Sooke?

Steve McKague does a lot of work without charging the district. Why?

He loves where he lives and wants people to be proud of their town and give a good

impression of our town when folks first arrive.

McKague not only cleans up the garbage at the sides of the road leading in and out of town but has cleared blackberries and broom and now keeps the grass cut and tidy.

Behind the scenes, he builds lovely benches, repairs park structures, prunes trees and shrubs and is well liked in the community for his efforts.

I have heard countless comments on how well he does his job and the work he does above and beyond his contract.

I have been to some of the parks, which had a sign but were not accessible, transformed into a work of art and accessibility.

I would like to commend his efforts and publicly thank him for his community spirit and give credit where credit is due.

Readers letters

Tom FletcherGuest Comment

We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canadas renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the worlds weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dions proposed green shift carbon tax was pivotal only in ending

his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.

The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but dont bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow, Dion said. That will not work.

It certainly didnt work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public

relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.

Dions ill-fated green shift wasnt just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If youve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. We have a plan, trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and Indias carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canadas share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Sooke History

Alice of Moss CottageVisitors to the Sooke Region

Museum sometimes take in a tour of Moss Cottage, built around 1870, the oldest standing building west of Victoria.

Though its history had begun earlier, the society decided, when we moved the venerable dilapidated building from its site on West Coast Road (near the Baptist church) to the museum grounds, to restore the interior to the 1902 time period.

At Christmas time in particular, a Moss Cottage tour will feature not only the houses chatelaine, Aunt Tilly Gordon, but her six-year-old daughter Alice, in a period frock with pinafore. Little Alice and her brother Harry grew up in Moss Cottage, and are an important part of our pioneer history.

Matilda Muir Gordon and her husband Jack Gordon had been living with her family at Burnside, on Maple Avenue, where Jack worked on the family farm started by her father, Michael Muir. In those days, tuberculosis, or consumption as they generally called it, took a heavy toll of life in the Canadian west, and Jack Gordon contracted the illness.

In 1901, when Matilda suffered the loss of her husband, Burnside Farm itself changed hands as well and it was necessary for Matilda to move into the four-room cottage standing on neighbouring land, along with her two little ones.

Alice and Harry grew up surrounded by Muir and Welsh relatives as neighbours, and walked to attend Sooke School (on the present location of Sooke Elementary).

To make ends meet, the frugal Aunt Tilly took in boarders, a boy and five sisters in the Ross

family of Goldstream, in order for the Ross children to be able to attend school.

Alice helped out with household chores of course, and also helped on the neighbouring John Muir farm of Woodside. She grew up to marry a young man from Victoria, Jack Patterson. During the First World War, younger brother Harry served overseas in France, where he was lost on the battlefields, and is

now remembered on the War Memorial at Sookes Cenotaph.

With her son gone and her daughter married in Victoria, Matilda Gordon also moved into Victoria for her senior years. Along with grown up daughter Alice and Alices husband Jack, though, the pioneer family continued to come out to visit at Sooke when they could.

Elida Peers is the historian of

Sooke Region Museum.

Alice, the vivacious little daughter of Jack and Matilda Gordon, grew up to become a charming young woman.

Outside/InsideSwimming pools are remarkable places. You will notice that a great many of the things that distinguish us from one another are left off the pool deck. Few people wear jewellery. If hair isnt slicked-back-

wet, it is under a bathing cap neither of which is an arrangement to appreciate ones cut, colour, or style. There are no regular clothes either, and the bathing suits we wear have to be mostly functional and tend to be rather plain. Add goggles and nose clips, and people barely resemble their everyday selves.If we were to judge each other on appearance, many of the regular categories we might use are not applicable at the pool, except for body shape. At the poolside, bulges and sags and wrinkles and rolls are all remarkably visible. I confess my discomfort with such an environment, it is unnerving to be in a place that so openly exposes physical inadequacies!The good news is that God sees us differently than we see each other.1 Samuel 16:7 says: The Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.Where we might see inadequacy because of things like our outward appearance, or addiction, or poverty, or mental illness, God sees into hearts and minds. Then, lled with compassion God gives renewal to all who accept his love.That is what it means to receive the love of God in your heart. Allowing the love of Jesus to transform your life from the inside out!

Kevin LairdSooke News Mirror

Phil Rossner wants to make your Mondays a little less manic and it could improve your life.

Rossner, a practitioner, facilitator and teacher of meditation and mindfulness at Sooke Yoga and Wellness, is offering two by-donation programs on Sunday evenings aimed easing your mind and soul into the new week by reducing stress, anxiousness and even depression.

Its a perfect entrance into the busy week, and people have told me it really helps them get prepared for the week ahead, said Rossner, who also goes by the spiritual name Tm.

Qi Gong and Tai Chi is offered at 6 p.m. on Sunday evenings, followed by Mindfulness Meditation at 7:15 p.m.

The two programs complement each other. Qi Gong and Tai Chi are a series of physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention. Mindful Meditation can improve memory, intelligence, creativity, concentration and attention, Rossner said.

Taking a timeout to meditate will clarify options and help set a course when youre not clear on the best direction to go

next, he added.And while you can learn

meditation on your own, Rossner, who has been teaching the art for more than 25 years, said often times it best to start in a group atmosphere.

Its really important to have a group as support, especially when you are beginning a

practice, because its so easy to go off the rails. Once youve abandoned it for one or two days, its really hard to get back.

Sooke Yoga and Wellness is located at 202-6750 Westcoast Road. For more information, please call 250-642-9642.

Instruction to protect children from cyberbullying should be included in B.C.s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the provinces independent child welfare and privacy officers.

The B.C. governments school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online.

In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then.

The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means, Denham and Turpel-Lafond conclude.

Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person.

The report calls for the education ministry to ensure that developmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.

Education Minister

Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.

Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed

resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades about cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.

Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people

have online access outside of school, and that by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young peoples communications

around the clock, or to cut off their access.

For young people, halting use of social media, websites, cellphones or email accounts is an impractical solution, the report states. It would be equivalent to house arrest and social deprivation.

Teach online safety in school, expert says

Facebook

Amanda Todds video and suicide at age 15 became an international symbol for the dangers of online bullying.
