Hope Centre opensDaniel ChauvinSpecial to the Sooke News Mirror
If ‘home is where the heart is’ then the Hope Centre promises to house more than an ample supply of heart. At the open house on Tuesday, media was able to explore the grounds, check out a few of the low-income rental rooms and meet with several people involved in the project.
Upon arriving for an inside peek at Sooke’s newest rental and community centre, it was a pleasant surprised to learn that the building also houses Sooke’s first underground parking lot, strategically solving the lack of parking space in the area. The spaciousness and welcoming storefront is also a kind of home-coming for St. Vincent de Paul’s thrift store which was originally located on the current grounds.
The Hope Centre is a joint project between the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Vancouver Island and the M’akola Housing Society.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP) has been the prop-erty owners for over 25 years, donating the land in the venture with the M’akola Housing Soci-ety who equaled the generous donation in cash. The two soci-eties came together to meet the highest and best use for the land and the Hope Centre is the end result of the shared vision.
Angela Hudson from the SSVP quoted the international society’s mandate, “To serve in hope” as the inspiration for naming the centre. She said the Social Concern Office which it
shares with the M’akola Society will work in tandem with com-munity agencies to provide a 1,200 square foot space for edu-cational and mixed use services.
Kevin Albers, Chief Execu-tive Officer from the M’akola Group of Societies discussed the need for affordable housing for aboriginal and non-aborig-inal singles in the Sooke area. M’akola are effectively the land-lords of the Hope Centre. He emphasized that the perception of the building as a ‘half-way’ house is wrong-headed. Sooke has been identified as needing affordable rentals for tenants between 19 to 31.
Residents will begin moving into the building before the end
of the month.A tour of a bachelor and single
rooms provided a brief glimpse into the bright and well-built rooms in the four-storey build-ing.
Over a few slices of pizza, locals expressed about their thoughts on the centre. Nata-sha Ruby, a hopeful applicant, was excited at the possibility of local affordable housing and delighted by the possibility of living in a building with both a yoga studio and a thrift store.
The yoga centre will be free for residents and the thrift store, which opens September 15, has tripled in size to 3,000
Affordable housing for youth identified as a need in Sooke

Make them payThe Jailathon was a fundraiser for Cops for Cancer. Jane Beddows, who headed the committee, said the event raised $10,250 to date. She said it was “unbeliev-able and overwhelming.” She said everyone who got arrested got into it and had a good time. Above, Lioness Paiton Cameron gets escorted before the “Hanging judge” Ymas B.

Sooke is one of those places where food and art intertwine pretty easily. With that in mind, the Sooke Region Food CHI Society is holding a Food Art Apple Fest on Septem-ber 28.
The idea is for artists to create a food-related art piece inspired by something edible from the Sunriver Commu-nity Gardens. There is also space for vendors selling locally made products and a pie auc-tion.
Artists are encour-aged to come down to the garden and get inspired by all of the vegetables, flowers, fruit and people who grow things. Plein air painters can come and set up their easels and enjoy the colours, tex-tures and atmosphere at the community gar-den.
Weavers can be inspired by the colours and photographers can be just plain inspired. Any medium of art is acceptable although the price of the piece cannot exceed $100.
As this is a fund-raiser, 30 per cent of the price will go to the society for the orchard fund at the community garden.
“It’s a harvest cel-ebration,” said Phoebe Dunbar, “it’s a celebra-tion of the orchard.”
The apple fest is replacing the annual harvest dinner which was held at the garden.
“Everyone loved the harvest feast but there was no budget for tents in case of rain,” said Dunbar.
The vendors can sell anything related to the harvest and they are not limited to apples. Examples are items such as fruit leathers, jams, jellies, chutneys, and butters. Space is limited to 18 ven-dors and they need to bring their own set up (tables/chair, cash). Priority will be given to Sooke region ven-dors first, so early reg-istration is encouraged. Nancy Bennett will be handling that aspect of the Apple Fest. She can
be reached through email at: [email protected]. The deadline for vendor applications is Monday, Sept. 22.
Local chanteuse Marjorie Baskerville is taking charge of the pie auction. People are asked to bring a pie as admission to the event.
“It’s the community celebrating the har-vest,” said Baskerville. “I love the idea.”
If you can’t bring a pie, bring a donation to the Sooke Food Bank.
The whole event is
about having some fun around food, art and pies and as Basker-ville said, “There are so many creative people in this community.”
The event takes place from 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday, September 28, rain or shine. The Sun-river Community Gar-den is located at 2380 Phillips Road.
For more information contact: [email protected].

square feet allowing an expanded drop-off and on-site sorting area.
Not everyone agrees with this sentiment. Trevor Hinch, the tech support for the build-ing believes the rent is too low.
“It’s too good of a deal,” he said. “The low rent will exclude people in the area who can afford higher rent that are looking for such a high quality room... it’s not fair for everyone.” He added the centre was also looking to have free wireless sup-port in the building but as of now the suites all
include the option of individual hook-ups.
Amy Rubidge from Ahimsa Yoga and Well-ness feels that fear, a default emotion in many people, was keep-ing them from embrac-ing the higher good that the Hope Centre would bring to the com-munity.
“People fear the unknown,” she said. “It is education that brings light to the dark heart. Hope is beautiful. It starts with a sense of belonging and it begins in our own bodies’ sense of well-being,” she concluded.
Her friend Chantal Ettles agreed.
“Hope is what starts a fire in the heart.
The heart doesn’t just want to survive, it wants to thrive. It begins in hope.”

Pearson announces then cancels run for
Sooke mayor
Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror
Kevin Pearson had made the decision to run for Mayor of Sooke in the upcoming November 15 munici-pal election because he believed he had the right skills and experi-ence to move Sooke forward.
But on Monday, Sep-tember 15 he pulled out of that race and will instead be running for another term as coun-cillor.
“Due to personal commitments and an evaluation of my family,
life and career balance I decided to remove my intent to run for mayor.”
Pearson served on Sooke council for three years. He was elected in 2011 and led the polls for council with 1,868 votes.
“I am proud of the fact that on the current council we focused on our priorities and as a team we were able to deliver on most of those. This was evident by the majority of all motions being passed unanimously, with robust opinions and thoughts from around the council we were able to often improve the motions by concen-sus.”
He thanked all of his supporters who encouraged him in his bid for the mayor’s chair.
With Pearson announcing his intent not to run for mayor, that leaves Councillors Maja Tait and Herb Hal-dane in the running. Councillor Kerrie Reay is also seeking re-elec-tion.

Artificial turf field planned for SookePirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror
Juan de Fuca Electoral Area Director Mike Hicks will be bringing forward an item at the Electoral Area Services Commit-tee on Thursday that might see a new artificial turf playing field in Sooke.
Hicks wants to use one year’s gas tax funding to help pay for the artificial turf field at Fred Milne Park. Hicks is looking to use $300,000 towards the esti-mated $1-million cost of the field.
“The whole thing is subject to the District of Sooke, service clubs and sports organizations getting together to raise the other $700,000,” said Hicks.
“I’ve spoken to the Sooke Com-munity Association and they are excited about putting it on their property.”
Hicks said his constituents should know that he has saved more than $350,000 from last year’s gas tax allocation.
“I feel very comfortable that my constituents will support me and the children of the Juan de Fuca and Sooke. I’m happy to take the leadership role and get it done. It’s a pretty neat thing,” said Hicks.
For the past seven months Hicks has been meeting with the community association, SEAPARC manager Steve Knoke, school trustees and Sooke Mayor Wendal Milne.
The item will need to go before the EAS committee and then before the board of the Capital Regional District in October.
There has been an ongoing issue with the playing fields in Sooke and the cancelled games because of the inability to use the fields when it rains.
“We won’t miss much of the season because of rain,” said Hicks. “This is wonderful for Juan de Fuca and Sooke.
The offer would stand for five years and the artificial turf field could be it place by the end of 2019 if everything goes through as envisioned. SEAPARC will facilitate the project.
Did You Know? Prices have adjusted in Sooke over the past few years. We have wonderful deals on hous-es priced from $300,000-$380,000. If you start looking in the Colwood and Langford area at similar priced homes… Oh my goodness it is an eye opener. Old houses that are in terrible shape or newer small homes on very small lots with no privacy. What does Sooke have to offer? A great lifestyle (outdoors, parks and beach-es), larger lots and some in-credibly priced homes.

Curator’s Corner: Travelling ExhibitTo honour their
90th anniver-sary, the Shir-
ley Women’s Institute (SWI) has partnered with the Sooke Region Museum to develop a travelling exhibit. The SWI, founded in 1924 by eight women, was the first organization in the small rural com-munity of Shirley. Their first meeting was on October 24, 1924 at the Shirley School House, which no longer exists. Since its commence-ment, the institute’s goals have been to help improve the rural com-munity and to increase the independence and self-sufficiency of its members.
While the institute is a small organization, it has made some out-standing accomplish-ments. For example, the SWI took on issues such as improving road conditions and access to modern services like telephones and elec-tricity. One of the SWI’s most prominent under-takings was its involve-ment in the prevention of combining Thanks-giving and Remem-brance (Armistice) Day into one holiday. At the October 7, 1926 meet-ing the SWI adopted the following resolu-tion: “Moved by Mrs. Edwin Clark, seconded by Mrs. H.J. Kirby that-Whereas the true signif-icance of Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day is lost by being com-bined in one holiday, and whereas November 11th should be kept as a holiday in honour and memory of those who made the Armistice possible, therefore be it resolved to ask wom-en’s and other organi-zations to take steps to
induce the Federal Gov-ernment to have Armi-stice Day Nov. 11th pro-claimed a public holi-day.” The proposal had immense support and the combined holiday was prevented. The organization has also been widely recognized for their fundraising efforts.
In 2011, the institute had a revival after it nearly faced extinction due to the fact that its members were growing older and they found it difficult to keep it running. Thankfully, a few resident women, including current Presi-dent Stephanie Croft, took steps towards reviving the institute. In 2011 they started with eight members, just as in 1924, and member-ship continues to grow. While their values and goals have remained the same as they were 90 years ago, younger generations are becom-ing more interested in living rural lifestyles. Thus, current member-ship ages range from their 20s to their 80s,
which is uncommon for a Women’s Institute. To support and encour-age their values, the SWI offers a variety of workshops for women wanting to learn about topics such as produc-ing and preparing their own food, harvesting, canning, and making handicrafts.
The travelling exhibit has two portions. The first portion is a tri-fold presentation board (3’6” W x 2’4” H) that was designed in house using the program Microsoft Publisher and then sent out for printing on foam core. The tri-fold design is ideal for displaying at meetings and craft fairs. The content on the board includes information about the SWI’s origin, values and revival. It also includes pictures and docu-ments such as the insti-tute’s 1924 certificate of incorporation.
The second portion of the traveling exhibit is a briefcase filled with replicated docu-ments, letters and pic-
tures. The briefcase was donated to the museum by the SWI on September 25, 2013 and has been repurposed for this exhibit. The briefcase’s handle was falling off, so the muse-um’s exhibit tech stabi-lized it and the interior was cleaned. Neverthe-less, it has some visible wear and tear. The rep-licated contents in the briefcase are intended to be picked up and handled. Some of the most exciting materials inside are duplicated letters sent to the SWI from World War II ser-vice men. To recreate these letters they were scanned, printed and dyed in tea to give them an aged and crinkled effect. The briefcase will be a great learning tool for people inter-ested in the history of the organization.
In addition to the travelling exhibit, the institute requested to have artifact 1979.100.001 repro-duced. This artifact is a framed collection of pictures showing 13
original members of the SWI. The reproduction will hang in the Shirley Community Hall. The 13 photographs are also included on the tri-fold presentation board.
To celebrate the SWI’s 90th anniversary, a tree planting cer-emony will be held in Pioneer Park outside the Shirley Community Hall at 1:00 on Sunday September 21. The event is casual and will include tea and baked goods. Additionally, a plaque will be pre-sented and the travel-ling exhibit will be on display in the hall. All inquiries about the SWI, events and member-ship can be answered by President Stephanie Croft ([email protected]).

Timber giants, the men and the Douglas firCharlie Sorenson
and Ted Cathels were contract loggers who arrived at Jordan River at the very heyday of harvesting the tall tim-bers. This photo, c1920 shows the two men tak-ing a lounging stance for the photographer, while no doubt calcu-lating the board feet to be harvested within their reach.
In 1919 an American syndicate took over the logging interests that had established them-selves at Jordan River, and called themselves Canadian Puget Sound Lumber and Timber Company Ltd. Among CPS’s contract loggers were the Cathels and Sorenson partners. The two established a camp at the river that employed 70 men on one side operat-ing a high-lead system and six Washington Ironworks steam don-keys. While they also harvested spruce and hemlock, the bulk of their cut was Douglas fir.
They were able to cut 60,000 board feet of tim-ber a day. A quote from Western Timberman, July 1921 says “the tim-ber was very large, run-
ning up to about 5,000 board feet to the log in fir and spruce, and of excellent quality.” Logging west of Jor-dan River, the partners used a log chute and a 1,200 foot tightline to bring the logs down to tidewater, according to a long-ago interview with Shirley oldtimer Ivan French.
The partners also operated a saw mill which had the capacity to mill 35,000 board feet a day. One of the mar-kets for the mill’s lum-ber was supplying the manufacturers of wag-ons and agricultural machinery. Manage-ment changes at Jordan River led the partners to move further up the
coast to Port Renfrew where they established a rail logging operation. The track ran from Beach Camp as far as Granite Creek and even-tually ran a total of 15 miles.
At Fairy Lake in the San Juan valley, Cathels and Sorenson logged a stand of giant spruce. The partners even-tually operated four steam locomotives on the line, a Baldwin and three Shays, up until the depression began a decline in the market by the early 1930s.
Visitors and resi-dents alike enjoy seeing the big trees when they have an opportunity to view a forest giant, but in our lifetimes we’ll never see the stands that graced the rain-forest in the days of Cathels and Sorenson. Thankful we are, that in the early 1970s BC For-est Products superin-tendent Bob Robertson saved the world-record Red Creek Fir at Port Renfrew, a legacy that still stands.

Ballot question will be meaningless
We all know we are entering the silly season as the municipal election is just months away and politicians wanting to get re-elected will go out of their way to please all and stay away from any controversy.
Here is the latest example of the silly season at work.
Sooke council has voted unanimously to put the question: “Should Sooke join other municipalities in renewing and restating its opposition to the expansion of oil tanker traffic through coastal BC waters?” on the local ballot for November 15.
Our council, through the mayor, had already sent in notification to Peter Kent, the Minister of the Environment and Prime Minister Stephen Harper in January 2012, that it does not support more tanker traffic in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which is appropriate. But to duplicate a statement which has already been made and put it on the ballot at a cost of between $6,000 and $9,000, which the taxpayers of Sooke will pay, to appease a small vocal group, is meaningless. We assume council knew before they voted in support what the cost would be. And the ballot question regarding a multi-use community centre is just about as pointless. It’s not about borrowing money anymore, it’s now about working with the community to get a building. Both are non-binding and a waste of taxpayer’s money.
We are sure that money could easily have been spent on sidewalks, a seniors’ center, downtown beautification or any of the multitude of things that have come before council over the past three years that would have benefited all or many residents of Sooke.
The silly season be damned let’s keep common sense in our heads and our wallets in our pockets until after the election.
FEATURE LETTER
I was saddened to read your edi-torial condemning my transfer sta-tion on Idlemore Road. Your state-ment, “the point is, this business is operating illegally under our bylaws without having gone through the proper process,” has unfairly hurt my reputation which I hope you will allow me to defend.
After Sooke Disposal shut down their transfer station, I met with Alpine Recycling with the hope of teaming up and providing Sooke with an open, clean, accessible transfer station to handle all of the area’s recyclables. We now have two employees, a terrific facility and are successfully handling and transfer-ring via Alpine everything and any-thing that Sooke residents bring. In addition to batteries, steel, glass, paint and plastic, we found it neces-sary to transfer garbage. In antici-pation of a food scrap ban at Hart-
land Landfill this coming January, we were planning to transfer even garbage (food scraps) in response to public demands.
There has not been an issue, to my knowledge, in regards to noise or odor. The issue seems to be around zoning and process. We are zoned M2 which allows for a recy-cling depot but not a garbage dump. It is suggested that we rezone to M3 which would give us a permitted use of “Waste management and recy-cling.” Neither M2 or M3 specifically allows a transfer station.
I was born and raised in Sooke and started my sawmill on Idlemore approximately 30 years ago, most likely before the District of Sooke zoning. My property has always been M2 zoned even though M2 zon-ing does not allow a sawmill. I have been too busy working to study my zoning and you can imagine my
surprise when I found that I should have been zoned M3 all along and the CRD and District of Sooke made the initial mistake years ago.
The mayor and council have sent this issue to public hearing, which I will not be attending. I have no wish to break the law or be condemned in the newspaper or public. I am of the belief that my transfer station is covered under my zoning and my property is not a garbage dump as prohibited in the zoning. The pro-cess, which you have stated is non-existent, is in fact happening.
I simply want to offer a necessary service to my Sooke community, fill a need, employ a few people and maybe one day make a dollar profit from this fledgling enterprise. Thank you for allowing me to respond to your editorial.

Illegal fishing practice
Being an avid fisher-man I have noticed a very disturbing trend taking place each year at and around Billings Spit during the salmon spawning run.
A certain group of individuals are “fish-ing” in such a manner as to promote snagging or foul hooking fish on their way to the river. The method is quite simple, as soon as a fish is spotted either finning or jumping they cast to it using a buzz bomb lure that has very little water resistance. As it is cranked through the water at high speed with the hopes of snag-ging or flossing the fish. When approached these people simply say that everything they are doing is legal. They have a single barbless hook and say they are reeling fast because the water is shallow and they don’t want to hang up on the bottom.
While the argument would seem to be legal the intent is anything but. On my last trip to the spit I personally saw six foul hooked fish caught and killed. This spectacle takes place usually on a daily basis throughout the three month period beginning in Septem-ber. Initially there was only two or three peo-ple doing this, how-ever because of their success the ranks are swelling and with no enforcement from DOF. They are becom-ing emboldened and
now laugh at anything anyone says to them, teaching their kids to fish the same.
My questions are; Why no enforcement? Why is an illegal activ-ity becoming the norm? How long can the fish-ery withstand this abuse?
We all know that the answer is very simple. Regulations should be passed to make it illegal to retain foul hooked fish in the river or estu-ary of the Sooke River.
Recently the locals in Port Renfrew, who are sickened by this practice, erected a sign on their bridge saying “Snaggers Go Home.” The sign was removed by a resident of the Sooke area who said it was “offensive.” With the millions of dollars garnered from the sale of fishing licenses, envi-ronmental fees, boat safety programs, etc., you would think at least a bit of it would go back into enforcing the laws to protect this precious resource.

Society doing its job
Regarding the recent letter to the editor con-cerning Flea Beach in Shirley.
We live a short walk from this area. We are pleased that the Sher-ingham Point Light-house Society has vol-
unteered to preserve and be the caretakers for this land.
The society reached out to the community and asked how to care for the small beach area after they received per-
mission from the Minis-try of Transportation to be the caretakers when the local parks commis-sion refused. The con-sultation was extensive and many participated.
Almost all the opin-
ions came back to keep the area pretty much just as it is, plus improv-ing the access road, the drainage and insuring the plants and trees were not cut and the ecosystem restored.
The society is going to do just that - how-ever it takes a bit more time when things are
We asked: What could be done to improve transit in and out of Sooke?
I don’t have a problem with it. It’s been a long time since I’ve used it and there is starting to be better service to the area.
Kathy FortuneLangford
That’s easy to answer. We need a double-decker on every route.
This one was over-crowded (2:20 p.m.) and they should know
better. I gave up my seat to an elderly person.

Bylaw violations cited
Choosing how to mark a ballot in the upcoming munici-pal elections became clearer at the Septem-ber 8 meeting of Sooke council. The solution is to simply ignore the names Bev Berger (if she chooses to run), Herb Haldane, Rick Kasper, and Kevin Pearson. These four members of the cur-rent council continue to vote in favour of an illegal activity, and in clear violation of Sooke Zoning Bylaw 600, in the matter of the trans-fer station on Idlemore Road.
The issue is not whether Sooke needs such a facility, or whether the Idlemore site is the appro-priate place for the facility. The issue is entirely the fact that these four members of Sooke council have no respect for the rule of law, that they are pre-pared to put the entire governance power of our community in jeop-ardy, and that they will do whatever is needed to get the result they favour.
We have heard a litany of nonsensical reasons in support of their votes. Councillors Pearson and Berger tell us they are confused; that there are insuf-ficient definitions in the Zoning Bylaw; that the Bylaw needs to be cleaned up; that it tells what is allowed, but not what is not allowed. At the top of this list, is a gem from Councillor Berger, wherein she states her belief that if the earlier motion is rescinded as per the direction from Mayor Milne, ‘we will never clean up the Bylaw.’ I leave the depth of that thought for evalua-tion by others. Critical thinkers should be able to discern, that where permitted uses are stated, all others uses are not permitted!
While Councillor Kasper was absent from the meeting, (per-haps he was ill), he has
previously voted in favour, and was instru-mental as acting mayor, in getting the issue onto a February agenda in the absence of Mayor Milne. Councillor Hal-dane continues to rail on the ambiguity of the zoning bylaw, and stated his concern that it allows and disallows things throughout. Once again, the depth of that thought rests with the reader.
The most serious matter is, of course, the vote in conflict with a district bylaw. It sets a precedent, and ties the hands of a govern-ing body to do the job they were elected to do. Why should any-one go through the required process, pay the required fees, and receive approval in an orderly manner, when they can simply find enough votes at the table to do whatever they wish. Anarchy anyone?
Clearly these are four councillors who either do not respect the rule of law, or are prepared to vote when they admittedly are con-fused, or as Councillor
Berger stated ‘I don’t care how we get to the decision.’ Aren’t videos wonderful. Remember that two of these coun-cillors are aiming at the mayor’s chair.
Value your vote! Gail Hall

Sooke is friendly
To all the wonderful people of Sooke.
I thank you for all your big heart wishes, warm greetings, hugs for comfort including for Archie. This makes us feel comforted to know so many people do care about the long term resident in this community.
Many have been wondering about see-ing me without Archie, my partner in love and friendship, shopping in the village. I want to let everyone know Archie is reasonably well living in Ross Place, a senior living home in Victoria. Sadly, while in hospital Archie received an evic-tion notice from the strata manager where he was renting advising
him he would need to vacate his home of 30 plus years on Kaltasin Road by July 31. His family had to quickly disperse his life trea-sures, memorabilia and belongings in a very short time.
So you know he did not forget the friendly residents of Sooke. He’s always happy to hear about each and every one of the friends he made over the years. Continually asks about every staff member at Western Foods and local shop employees. He misses his weekly shopping, coffee and reminiscing in the vil-lage.
And, I miss him too.Alice Holm

well is federal MP Randall Garrison waiting to speak.The disagreement between the province and the over 40,000 teachers over pay, classroom composi-
tion and class size is having a unifying effect. The message of the local BCTF rally at Belmont secondary school Friday afternoon was simple, say goodbye to the contentious E80 clause which deals with class size and composition and get back to work.
Ian Johnson the president of District 62 teachers association said, “We would like to see them make a deal this weekend and get back to the classroom Monday, barring that, binding arbitration but prefer-ably a mediated settlement and if Vince Ready can pull that off more power to him.” Education minister Peter Fassbender said he was not surprised to learn 99 per cent of teachers voted in favour of binding arbitration to end the ongoing dispute.

Sooke’s turkey
arrested
The turkey mascot (Francis Louvat) at Sea of Bloom was arrested on Saturday, Sept. 13 and thrown in jail.
A Jailathon was held to raise funds for Cops for Cancer. Many Sooke residents were served with warrants and spent time in jail until they raised their bail money.
It turned out to be a fun event for everyone and showed Sooke’s generosity and sense of humour.

work. Not one of them cares about our kids. Our kids will be the dumbest kids in Can-ada. Why are they hurt-ing our future?
Grow up, go back to your jobs. You teach-ers should have done this on summer time and on the weekend. Why make our kids go though this. I, for one, am not happy. I have three kids and thank God for home school-ing.
p.s. home schooling we don’t get paid but we do it because our children need a future.

Dogs need training
In response to the East Sooke writer appealing to Sooke for a Dog Park.
I hope to strongly squash her belief of the myth that dog parks are designated places for dogs to ignore their persons’ call to come or exhibit other out of control “rambunctious friendly behavior.”
Whether 90 or nine pounds, dogs all have the same number of teeth and four legs. They can be unpredict-able no matter how much we dog lovers like to delude ourselves otherwise.
The issue is not that some people do not want off leash dogs but they do not want to feel unsafe. The solution for the person was to not go to public places with her dog but the real solution lies with enhancing her dog’s life and hers through train-ing and ongoing super-vision.
Since there is a dog population explosion in our culture we need
to applaud those who spend time and money to ensure their dogs training and social needs are met so they are welcomed to public places.
If a dog park ever did become a reality in Sooke, the absolute
rule must be that dogs play and run in a safe secure area because they have earned the freedom to be off leash in the dog park and continue to be super-vised. Non compliance cannot be explained away by one’s dog
being people and dog loving. While managing exuberance can result in temporary deafness toward humans, dogs do have social rules about interactions with their own species. Size has nothing to do with a dog correcting the disrespect of space and behavior boundaries being crossed.
I can only assume
the writers racing 90- lb mass of dog racing up to other dogs was at the receiving end of a few such encounters. A visit to Whiffin Spit or some walking trails in other municipali-ties post signs “dogs must be IN CONTROL’. At present voice or leash control is accept-able. I suggest to the writer that her energy
be better spent train-ing than soliciting for a dog park. Penalizing an animal’s exercise and social needs due to one’s own tunnel vision is just neglect.

It is with heavy hearts that Rick’s family announces his passing on September 10, 2014 on his 49th birthday in Victoria, BC. Rick will be sadly missed by his loving partner Lyn Rowell (Sooke, BC), his children Braeden and Talen (Whitehorse, YT), his Mom and Dad, Gayle (Barry) and Ken Rogerson (Onaping), his brothers Dave Rogerson (Ladysmith, BC), and Ken (Leslie) Rogerson (Onaping) as well as his niece and nephews Hannah, Jacob and David Rogerson. Rick is also survived by his special friend Darrell MacDonald (Victoria,BC), and his father Richard Deschamps (Sudbury). Rick also leaves behind his faithful companion Duke and many aunts, uncle, cousins and friends. Rick grew up in Sudbury and moved west in his twenties to chase his dreams. Rick had a wonderful sense of humour and there are few who knew him that will not have a smile on their face when they think of Rick or tell their own special “Rick” story. A big fan, he would gladly share a few lines from an Elvis song, play you a tune on his harmonica or show you his Elvis “shrine”. The Vancouver Canucks could not have had a bigger fan and Rick prepared long and hard to be ready for the start of hockey season. Rick will be sadly missed by his comrades and pool-playing companions at the Sooke Legion, Branch #54 with whom he shared his passion for the game and displayed the finer points of pool etiquette. Cremation has taken place and at Rick’s request, there will be no formal visitation or funeral service. A celebration of Rick’s life will be held at the Sooke Legion, Branch #54 on September 20, 2014 @ 12:00 pm and at the Onaping Legion, Branch #503 on a date to be announced. As expressions of sympathy, donations in Rick’s name to the Poppy Fund at either Branch #503 or Branch #54 would be appreciated.

“ GRANDPA” Left us peacefully on
September 7, 2014 at the age of 93 years. Many hap-py memories in the town of Sooke for dinners at the Le-gion and “safety” meetings at his grandsons. For those who knew him, knew all too well that winning and good humour were his greatest thrills. Friday night was a special event, meat draw at the Sooke Castle, and it was guaranteed that it would bring laughter, smiles that created everlasting memo-ries. Thank-you Sooke for al-lowing him into your lives and into your hearts. We’ll miss you Dad.

Esquimalt, B.C. – Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca Member of Parlia-ment Randall Garrison announced September 12 that he will seek the New Democratic Party nomination in the new riding of Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke for the upcoming federal elec-tion.
“Every day I see more evidence of how Mr. Harper’s out of touch policies and misman-agement are making life harder for Canadi-ans. Every day I see the values that have made Canada a great nation being eroded. That is why I have decided to seek re-election as the NDP candidate in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke,” Garrison said.
“My pledge to voters is to continue deliver-ing practical results for local people no matter what the makeup of the next Parliament,” Gar-rison promised. “This community needs improved retirement security, more fair-ness for veterans, and greater recognition of the value of diversity. I also pledge to continue working hard for pro-tection of the environ-ment. This means con-tinuing to fight for pro-
tection of the southern resident killer whales and against any expan-sion of tanker traffic on our coast,” Garrison said.
“It has been a great privilege to serve my constituents over the past four years and I want to continue work-ing for them and for a Canada which is more equal, more affordable, more sustainable and a
force for peace on the international stage,” Garrison said.
As the result of the redistribution, Lang-ford and Highlands will join the new riding of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford. The rest of Esquimalt Juan de Fuca will be joined with an additional portion of Saanich to make up the new riding of Esqui-malt-Saanich-Sooke.
Garrison was first elected as a Member of Parliament in May of 2011. He previously served as a Councillor in the municipality of Esquimalt and spent two decades teaching criminal justice and political science at Camosun College. He continues to reside in Esquimalt with his part-ner, Teddy Pardede.

Holy Cross Day(September 15)
Holy cross day can be a strange celebration for many people, but for us Christians it is a way of recognizing the power of God. We are
not exalting or glorifying the suffering, humiliation, or that we are against life, we do celebrate this because we have faith in Jesus the cruci� ed. Believers see in the cross, the love and the tenderness of God that gave us “His only Son” for our sins, and who shared his life with our life until death.
It can be hard to understand this celebration when we lives in a society that only exalts pleasure, the good life, and sel� shness. It is for this reason that the cross of Jesus can only be understood, by those who are cruci� ed (homeless, the discriminated, and all those forgotten by the society). Why do we have this celebration? It is because Jesus died on it and we are exalting it, is that why?
Paul says, “For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God”(1Cor 1: 18). The cross is a mystery that reveals to us God’s immense love for humanity, and to those who have seen the cross with the eyes of faith, nobody will separated them from God. Jesus died on the cross for the love of humanity and he wants us to live and fully enjoy our lives in his name.

Hiking to the top of the world is not something
many people under-take, but four women from Sooke did just that.
In August former mayor Janet Evans, Laurie Szadkowski, Ter-rie Moore and Jacklyn Orza took on the chal-lenge of scaling Mt. Kili-manjaro.
So why did these women decide to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro?
Janet Evans said they had talked about it for years. She did the Chilkoot Pass in 2000 and Machu Picchu in 2005 with some of the Chilkoot Chicks, a group of eight women who hike together,
“In 1994 I went to Africa on a safari and I kept telling these guys how fabulous Africa is. And I said if we go to Africa we have to hike, they laughed, but we got more and more seri-ous,” said Evans.
Their goal was to hike 65 kilometers over seven days to the sum-mit.
To train for the hike they hiked the Sooke Hills every Sunday for four to five hours and they kept going higher and higher. They had been working with a trainer for years and while they were fit, they were not prepared for what Mt. Kilimanjaro would throw at them.
Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa reaching 19,340
(5,895m) into the sky, a far cry from the heights some of the women scaled previously on Machu Picchu at 7,970 feet (2,430m) and the Chilkoot Pass at 3,057 feet (1,067m).
Terrie Moore, for-merly of Sooke, wrote about the first part of their experience.
“We have arrived at the Marangu Hotel just outside Moshi on the northern border of Tanzania, not far from Kenya. The hotel echoes a colonial past; meals are served fam-ily style in the dining room, linens and silver settings on the tables. Despite it being win-ter in Tanzania, the grounds are lush with greenery and brightly coloured flowers. We are grateful for the spa-cious and comfortable rooms as we know this will not be the case for
the next seven days.”What they encoun-
tered was nothing they expected. They chose the Rongai route which is longer and less popu-lated than some of the routes. They wanted to acclimatize themselves slowly before the reach for the summit. Altitude sickness was a real-ity and as they hiked very slowly towards the peak, each woman experienced it in vari-ous degrees.
The crew taking them to the summit consisted of 17 people including three guides and 12 porters. The porters carried most of what they required, the women carried lighter daypacks.
Meals were prepared for them with plenty of carbohydrates, heaps of vegetables and fruit.
The hike starts out easy enough but it is
steadily uphill. They walk at the impossible polé pace, which is at best a snail’s crawl. The sun, heat and surprisingly the cold take its toll on the hik-ers. Everyone had bad days. Evans suffered from a racing heart, Jacklyn Orza got alti-tude sickness, others were disoriented and exhausted and all of them were cold.
“I was puking, black-ing out and my guide had to unscrew my water and held it to my mouth, I wasn’t doing well,” said Orzo of the altitude sickness she suffered on the way to the summit.
For all of the training they did, they could not replicate the altitude, said Laurie Szadkowski.
“For me the unex-pected was the cold on the second night. You’re in Africa, but
its cold. It goes back to expectations, you couldn’t get warm,” said Szadkowski.
Every day was tough. “You have to have mental preparedness,” said Evans. “Even on day four and five you
watch one foot in front of the other. You’re zoned out and you go on automatic.”
“It’s kind of freeing,” said Szadkowski. “You don’t have to do any-thing else.”
The group split up as
each made the decision individually whether they would summit.
They all enjoyed the hiking part but only Szadkowski and Orzo reached the summit.

The game against the Ladysmith Steelers started with a down-field march that ended up with a field goal kicked by Steele. The Steelers didn’t stand much of a chance against the Victoria Spartans. The Spartans took it 30-0.
Next was a defense interception by Ben “man of the hour” Power which he ran for a pick six touchdown.
Power led his team on defence which held the Steelers scoreless although they came close with Cheng mak-ing a touchdown saving tackle at our 20 yard line!
Many a good tackle was done by Sam Lowden, Hunter Nicks. Amazing qb sack by LaMontagne.
Offence was centered by Carrier as a starter in his fourth season at
center-snapping the ball Carter “the flash” Price caught a 25-yard pass and trotted in for a touchdown.
Quarteback Tyson “the bullet” Boyd had a satisfactory first start with 8 completions, great hand-offs tackles on defence and a touch-down himself!
Spencer Logan had a good day on the o-line blocking to help these scores happen. The
next game is on Sunday, September 21 at the Eagle Ridge turf field at 12:30 p.m.
With eight Sooke players on the Spar-tans team it’s easy to see how our contingent of players continue to wreak havoc on the gridiron.

Terrie Moore in her account said, “I can-not imagine facing sev-eral more hours of this bone-chilling cold and decide that I’ve had enough.”
Orzo said she didn’t even wait for the sun-rise, she just had to get to lower elevations.
“I couldn’t take it anymore,” she said. “But on the way up you could see a stream of headlights, almost like a river.”
The river of light were other hikers who were heading for the summit.
Szadkowski said she was so exhausted but she did take some pic-tures and read the note from her granddaugh-ter that she had carried with her.
“At some point it was only mental, the only reason I was here was because I followed the guides, I couldn’t even hit my mouth with water,” she said. “You’re way above the clouds, it’s equal day and night.”
“It’s an accomplish-ment,” said Evans, “whether you experi-enced the mountain on the top or the bottom.”
The women, most certainly, love to travel and as Szadkowski said, they “love to come home.”
Orza said she works to travel and will be going back to Africa and next on the list is Peru and Brazil. As the youngest of the group, she said she, “had a blast with them, they are all unique person-ally.”
At the end of the trip up Mt. Kilimanjaro Janet Evans happily left behind her hiking boots, poles and what-ever else she could.
They were tired of the dirt, the tents and the same clothes day after day. None of them are eager to camp out in tents anymore. They did, however, go on a safari in Kenya after.
Each woman pushed themselves further than they thought they could and conquered Mt. Kilamanjaro in their own way but the shared experience is best explained by Ter-rie Moore.
“So, what did we learn from all of this? We learned to be grate-ful for the many luxu-ries that our Cana-dian life provides. We learned that we are tougher and more resil-ient that we thought. Some of us discovered that we do not need to camp in tents anymore. We learned to acknowl-edge the many accom-plishments along any journey. And most of all, we learned that to get anywhere, to accomplish anything sometimes you need to go polé, polé.”

Arts & EntertainmentMaritime music mixed with the blues
The Sooke Folk Music Society would like to welcome everyone back to another new season of great music. We hope everyone had a great summer and we are looking forward to bringing you some exiting new features as well as some of our old favourites.
Our first Coffee House is this Saturday evening. We start, as always, with our fabu-lous and always unpre-dictable open stage fea-turing an eclectic mix of talent, both local and from afar and after the break we present our feature act.
David Godkin first drew the attention of Vancouver Island music fans nearly nine years ago under the name David Kosub. A discovery about his true heritage (Scots-Irish) prompted David to change his name. A subsequent trip to Ireland to dig deeper into his ancestral roots found him playing in an old fashioned ceilidh band and re-commit-ting to his own brand
of maritime ballad, folk and blues.
Godkin has achieved notice for his versatile and memorable songs about growing up in Atlantic Canada, lost love and occasional triumphs of ordinary people. This year he’s added two more mari-time ballads to his rep-ertoire, a contemporary protest tune as well as a swing number - just in
case you wanna dance. Oh and his new Van Dyke beard doesn’t look too bad either.
Together, Godkin & Co bring a blend of folk and Maritime ballads to the stage, with a just a few nice blues licks thrown in for good measure.
The band includes mandolin player Rick Van Krugel whose raw, intuitive style has become a mainstay of
the Vancouver Island music scene. But nearly as captivating are the wonderful stories Rick has to tell. Originally from California Rick has met and played with everyone from the granddaddy of blue-grass, Bill Munro, to Dan Hicks of Hot Licks fame to Vancouver Island’s own Valdy.
Bassist Mike Regim-bal anchors the bottom of the band’s eclectic sound and adds some lovely vocals and fiddle music to remind us this is folk music after all. In fact, Fiddles, slide gui-tar, bouzoukis and ban-jos Mike plays them all.
Mike Sadava is a gui-tarist with a deft, imagi-native touch on the fret board and unbounded enthusiasm for music of all kinds. Mike has played for decades in Canada’s great white north.
Coming up this Sat-urday evening, Sept. 20 at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 1962 Murray Road. Doors open at 7 p.m. with open stage at 7:30 and our feature at 9.

Sharing abundance and bountySeptember is gen-
erally a time of garden abun-
dance. The Sooke Region
Volunteer Centre (SRVC) is looking for donations of fruit and vegetables to use for the Grand Cook-Off Day, September 27, 2014. The event will bring together non-profit groups to cook, bake and can up a storm. The resulting products, pies, bread, jams, etc. will be sold and the pro-ceeds shared between the participating orga-nizations.
As an added ben-efit, SRVC has lined up 15 ‘free’ volunteers through UVic and Vol-unteer Victoria’s Proj-ect Serve Day. Plus the folks on the Sooke Region Community Health Initiative (CHI) committee have voted to be part of the gen-eral pool of volunteers.
More than just a busy day of preserving, the weekend is gearing up to be a full festival weekend. Sooke Fam-ily Resource Society (SRFS) organizing the 10th Anniversary Cel-
ebration of the Sooke Child, Youth and Family Centre, locally referred to as the CASA Build-ing, on the same day. The next day, Sunday, September 28, Sooke Region Food CHI is also planning an Apple Fest at the Sunriver Commu-nity Gardens.
Participating orga-
nizations include: Rotary Club of Sooke, East Sooke Neighbour-hoods Association and Friends of Coppermine Park Society, Sooke Yoga Society, with two others still considering.
“We will use as many commercial kitchens as are needed, based on produce available
and organizations par-ticipating,” said Barry, “St. Vincent de Paul is donating canning jars. Three bags of flour have already been donated, one by T’Sou-ke Arts Group and two bags of locally grown product from Parry Bay Sheep and Stillmeadow Farms in Metchosin.”
If you have an abun-dance of fruits or veg-etables and wish to donate them, to place advance orders, or for more information, please contact the Vol-unteer Centre office, 6672 Wadams Way, Tuesday or Thursday afternoon, or leave a message at 250-642-6364 Ext. 235 or info@[email protected].

“We weren’t looking for a smashed up Thunderbird when we went for a leisurely drive to Bear Creek today, but lucky for you we found it!! At first we were worried about how we could return it to its right-ful owner, but then we found some insurance papers with your name on them. I’m not good at tracking people down, so I passed the info on to the Sooke RCMP (I hear they’re good at that sort of thing). It’ll probably be super easy for them to find you too since your Facebook profile has multiple pictures of you with the car. Thanks for the added comment about “bringing it up to the woods to give it a redneck funeral”... That makes it easier to identify you as the rightful owner. So... You should be contacted shortly on how to get your car back. No need to thank me. Just being a good citizen. ”

▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang
members in B.C. come from every socio-economic
background and all ethnicities. While racial,
ethnic, and gender composition can vary by
locality or type of gang, gangs are often as
diverse as our communities and many do not
restrict who joins as long as they can make
money for the gang.
