Fruit and the tastes of fall will be front and centre Sunday (Sept. 27) for the second annual Apple Fest at Sunriver Community Gardens.

The event will be part celebration, part education about apples, says organizer Phoebe Dunbar.

With a record number of bear-related calls to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service this month, Sooke residents are a little spooked and on the defensive, but if they feel theyve got it bad, Yogis got it a lot worse.

Lets put it this way: if a bear becomes habituated to an urban environment due to easy access to garbage or human-sourced food, the bear is almost always guaranteed a sad and pointless death: either due to starvation, or by the hands of a less-than-riveted conservation officer who has no other choice but to put the bear down due to its imminent danger to the public.

Still, 50 calls since Sept. 1 shows otherwise, so are there more bears out there?

Not necessarily, said Debbie

Read, coordinator of Wild Wise Sooke, adding 300 to 500 bear calls is common in Sooke.

What hasnt been so common was the hot and dry summer, which, as Read said, has disrupted the rhythm of how bears feed themselves.

We had a very warm summer, so berries and skunk cabbages ripened early this year, which gave them [the bears] plenty of food up in the hills, but when everything started drying up and that food source was depleted, then they started coming down here, she said.

And since fruit trees are still ripening and berries are plentiful in town, Sooke has become an interesting food hot spot. If you add some garbage, which serves as a huge attractant for bears, then you got yourself an all-star bear buffet.

Victoria city council has backed a plan asking the Capital Regional District to borrow $50 million to house the homeless, but how this will affect Sooke is still unknown.

Sooke Mayor Maja Tait said more clarity is needed on the proposal.

When they broke down what the requisition was per household, its a bit tough on Sooke residents because its another piece added to the cost, Tait said. How do they end up breaking it out, and

how it all funnels out in the end? Im not all clear on that.

The proposal consists of a region-wide levy of $11.18 per household for a duration of 15 years that would ultimately contribute to 367 units of housing for homeless people and end homelessness in Greater Victoria by 2018.

But as much as it sounds like a morally-attractive idea, Tait pointed out that the levy would otherwise be detrimental to groups already struggling in the local community.

Theres always

a case to have affordable housing, but would putting a large [housing] facility in Victoria be of benefit to those people in Sooke that are in these situations? No, likely not, she said.

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan said the problem of housing goes much further uphill than the municipal level.

The underlining issue here is the absence of appropriate support from the senior levels of government, such as the federal government, who has been out of

housing for almost 20 years now, and the provincial government that hasnt focused on the challenges here on the Island, he said.

CRD Juan de Fuca director Mike Hicks had his doubts too on pushing forward such an initiative without a more thorough consultation.

As far as Im concerned, these [homeless people] arent necessarily

regional people, or even JDF people, or Victoria people, theyre Canadian people, coming from across Canada, so it should be federally-sponsored, or at least, be provincially-sponsored, he said, adding that he wont be making any decisions on the subject until he consults with his electoral area ratepayers.

The District of Sooke has been recognized by the joint Provincial-Union of B.C. Municipalities Green Communities Committee for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

For its efforts, the district received a Climate Action Community 2014 logo for use on websites and letter head.

As a signatory to the Climate Action Charter, you have demonstrated your commitment to work with the province and UBCM to take action on climate change and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in your community and corporate operations, wrote Gary MacIsaac, executive director of the UBCM to council.

$5,000 earmarked for negotiations

Sooke will pay $5,000 this year to the Temexw Treaty Advisory Committee to help pay legal costs for First Nations negotiations.

Member municipalities on the advisory committee include Colwood, Esquimalt, Highlands, Metchosin, North Saanich, Saanich, Sooke, View Royal, Victoria and the Capital Regional District.

Sooke Elementary School is overflowing with students.

The school saw as many as 40 more students register this month, compared to last June.

The result? Two classes are being taught in the schools library.

The library is not a bad place to learn. Im more concerned about the rest of the kids in the school having access to the library, said Sooke School District superintendent Jim Cambridge.

This is not the first time the

schools library has became a makeshift classroom, after a fire damaged part of the building last year.

Cambridge said the space issue is already being addressed, with a portable classroom already in the works for the school though he noted that wont actually be added until at least December.

Despite the overcrowding issue, Cambridge said this is good news for the district, as growth in student population like this hasnt been seen for a long while.

This is sustained growth, so its worthwhile us investing into it, and

it also gives us an opportunity to make a case to the government for a new school, as we are now able to demonstrate that a new school is required, he said.

Ironically, both Sooke and Saseenos elementary were once considered for closure because there werent enough students to fill the classrooms.

Still, the possibility of more students in local schools was known months ago, said Ian Johnson, president of the Sooke Teachers Association.

It was on the radar back in spring, and we were anticipating

there might be some overcrowding issues, he said.

We are one of the few school districts in the province that is actually growing, and projections were made a decade ago by the Sooke School District about growth in the area.

Johnson estimated that the rate of growing student numbers in the school district has increased to about 100 a year. This includes teacher membership, which increased from just under 500 teachers 10 to 15 years ago to just shy of 600 now.

Too many students and not enough space

Firefighter orientation session tonightOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Ever wondered what it would be like to fight fires and lend a helping hand to the community?

Heres your chance.Sooke Fire Rescue is

hosting an open house tonight (Sept. 23) at Fire Station No. 1, beginning at 7 p.m.

The session is free, and will allow those interested in joining the fire department as volunteers to learn more about what it is to be a member and what they can expect when on the job.

A tour and the history of Station No. 1 is also included, along with a presentation on the equipment members will be using and what they do.

Volunteering as a firefighter takes up more time than people who first join expect, said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen, but the self-satisfaction is priceless.

Its a great way to give back to the community, especially if youre new here, he said. People

have forged some life-long friendships here, so its quite a social thing as well, very family-oriented.

And there is no obligation, just stick your foot in the door and see if it feels right for you. One things for sure: youll be kept occupied.

Its a fairly-busy department for our size, so once they [new members] are in the door, its hard to keep them away, Sorensen said. Its a challenge for people, but you get to learn a lot of skills that you could use forever.

Anyone attending should also consider bringing their families with them that night, since a good part of the session will explain some of the expectations the family would have from their spouse once they become a member.

We encourage the families to come just so they understand what theyre getting into, because if youre not going to have family support, its not going to work, he said.

After all, things like accidents, fires, or other kinds of emergencies neither wait or have a schedule, so unexpected challenges and calls in the middle of the night are a common theme in this job.

You have to be prepared that what we do isnt always pleasant, and get used to the kind of mind-set that you could go from a dead stop to a 100

miles per hour in seconds here and the outcome isnt always what you hope it to be, Sorensen said.

Its not like youre expected to be made of

stone, either; Sorensen said fire departments have lots of support networks to help people deal with that kind of stuff.

Sometimes, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to treat infections to slow down or destroy bacteria. Unfortunately along with the unwanted bacteria, antibiotics may wipe out the bodys natural ora... the friendly bacteria. Probiotics help restore some of the good bacteria that is eradicated by antibiotics. There is debate that taking probiotics while taking antibiotics is not bene cial, but there is enough proof that taking them during the course of the antibiotics signi cantly decrease the side effects. Probiotics are present in yogurt and in the form of capsules/ liquids. If you do use yogurt make sure to buy plain yogurt and add your own fruit...most of the avored yogurt has a lot of sugar.

Rollovers keep Mounties busy

Rainy, wet weather is being blamed for two motor vehicle rollovers in Sooke on Sunday.

The driver of a van was travelling out of town when she lost control and skidded into a ditch at Gillespie and Sooke roads.

Police say speeding and slippery conditions were factors in the crash.

In another unrelated incident, a vehicle skidded into the bush at Glinz Lake and Sooke roads.

No injuries were reported in either incident.

Car crash turns up stolen goods

A car that crashed in the 1900 block of Gillespie Road on Thursday confounded emergency officials after they found it was filled with a range of bizarre cargo, including vehicle batteries, two gas tanks for welding, two filled jerry cans, several aerosol cans, a

laptop computer, two outriggers and a set of electric power tools.

Michael Alexander Bruce, 28, faces 11 charges including possession of stolen property, driving while prohibited, driving while suspended and possession of a controlled substance

Witness helps arrest suspect

A concerned citizen is being lauded by police for his efforts

in helping Sooke RCMP apprehended a man who was driving towards Sooke from Langford last Wednesday.

The vehicle, a black Acura sedan, was reportedly swerving all over the roadway and into the oncoming lanes on Sooke Road.

While Sooke were en route, the witness reported the vehicle had parked on Woodlands Road and the suspect driver had exited the vehicle. The

witness continued to monitor the suspect from afar until police officers arrived and arrested the male.

A search incidental to the arrest revealed the suspect was in possession of a small quantity of ecstasy.

Angus Matthew Milne, of Nanaimo, is charged with dangerous driving, breach of recognizance, and possession of a controlled substance.

More parents interested in teaching kids to become bilingual Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Parlez-vous Francais? No? Well, given a recent boom in

French immersion in Sooke and the lower Island, chances are, your child will likely be able to become bilingual by the time they become an adult.

This is all thanks to a steady but healthy growth of students in the Sooke School District, as well as a thorough presence of French immersion in Sooke alone, such as Ecole Poirier, which has been a spearhead of the program for the last 25 years.

Its also that were very inclusive with French immersion, said district principal Vivian Collyer.

People used to think that French immersion was just for those very skilled students, but we believe that anybody who is interested in learning a second language should be included.

Inclusivity has been a major play in the bloom, more so than anyone can imagine. It has led to numerous program launches at numerous schools, including John Stubbs Memorial School, which, for the first time this year, has become completely French immersion. This is one of the few schools in the province that provides such a combination from kindergarden to Grade 8.

Another factor for the programs significant growth in Sooke during recent years has been the presence of the a French Immersion Advisory Committee and a Canadian Parents for French chapter in Sooke. The CPF particularly highlights the importance of parents being involved in the development of their childs bilingual education.

If we as parents dont do it, then who will? asked Cendra Beaton, president of CPF Sooke District chapter.

We are blessed to have a school district that is very supportive and understanding of the benefits of a bilingual education program like French immersion.

After all, much of the programs success leans on the continued collaborations between the CPF, the French Advisory and Sooke district board. Still, new challenges appear with more students, though Beaton

is optimistic about working with new members and allow the program to grow even stronger.

With the great enrollment numbers, comes a greater need for long term planning to be prepared and ready for what is to develop, she said.

We look forward to working with the district to plan for the future together and having more parents join our chapter to have a stronger voice on these topics.

In previous years, the CPF has helped bring in additional cultural activities and events into the French immersion program, such as Charlotte Diamond and Anne Glover, the annual District Concours dArt Oratoire, a national French- speaking contest, as well as gathering and purchasing classroom text books.

Beaton hopes more parents will reach out and become active in the local CPF chapter, which is why the organization has some interesting plans in the works this month. From Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, all new and renewing CPF Sooke memberships will be entered in a draw to win prizes donated by businesses like Thrifty Foods, Vegetables Online, and Marlin Travel. Additional details and prizes will be posted on the CPF event on Facebook. These memberships are the backbone to funding the majority of the CPF support for French programming in the Sooke School District.

In their own wordsThe News Mirror is offering federal election candidates space to offer their viewpoints on five issues: the economy, environment, taxes security and childcare. This weeks topic is the Environment.

Canadians dont have to choose between a strong economy and a clean environment. Unfortunately, in the last 10 years, the Stephen Harper government has dismantled the laws protecting our air, land and water which affects our health, economy, and future development. The NDP has a plan to build sustainable prosperity by kick-starting clean and renewable energy production, and making big polluters pay with a cap-and-trade system for carbon.

We are committed to rebuilding Canadas gutted environmental assessment rules and restoring our international reputation on climate change. Locally I will make sure that federal government implements an action plan for the recovery of the endangered southern resident killer whales. I will also re-introduce my bills that would restore protection to watersheds in our riding including the Sooke and Goldstream rivers protection that Stephen Harper unilaterally demolished.

In this election, we have a chance to elect a truly progressive government that will take action on climate change seriously. We are just one election away from sending a prime minister to Paris who goes not only with aggressive GHG reduction targets and a plan, but that will be a leader on climate change. This election is our opportunity to elect a NDP government that will repair our reputation on an international level.

Climate change is a serious threat to the future of our planet and Canadians know it.

As a father of four, the environmental legacy my daughters inherit is critically important. A Liberal government will address climate change by working the provinces on a framework to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to price carbon. Well also cut fossil fuel subsidies.

We will increase Canadas protected marine and coastal areas from 1.3 per cent to five per cent by 2017, and 10 per cent by 2020. We will restore the $40 million Harper cut from ocean science and monitoring and unmuzzle government scientists, including our fisheries experts.

As to pipelines and tanker traffic its clear that Harper has completely undermined public confidence in federal environmental assessments. We stand against the Northern Gateway pipeline and for the northern tanker ban. A federal Liberal government will rebuild Canadians confidence in federal environmental assessments and bring in legislation to make sure that the impact of pipeline projects on global warming considered by the National Energy Board.

Our coastline with its vital tourism and fishing industries is at risk from new fossil fuel infrastructure and additional oil tankers. The Green Party says a clear no to more pipelines, no to more risky tankers carrying bitumen.

Instead, we will invest in clean and renewable energy sources. The clean energy industry creates three times more jobs for Canadians than the fossil fuel industry, with jobs that are local and well-paid.

Immediate, decisive action is crucial if we are to avert the most devastating consequences of climate change. The Green Party is ready to fully participate in this falls UN climate talks in Paris, where Canada needs to once again become a world leader in climate action. At home, Greens propose a carbon fee and dividend that places a price on carbon pollution while returning the revenues from this to all Canadians. The B.C. carbon tax has shown this to be an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We need to return science to decision making, and focus on maintaining clean air, clean water, and healthy ecosystems.

Our Conservative government is delivering a plan that is helping create jobs and economic growth, and also protecting Canadas environment.

Since coming to office, the government has placed a high priority on protecting our environment. We have made record investments in targeted actions to improve water quality, reduce air pollutants and conserve important ecosystems that support fish and wildlife.

Since 2006, an area of more than 220,000 square kilometres has been added to the network of federal protected areas, including the worlds first protected area extending from the mountain tops to the sea floor (Gwaii Haanas National Marine Conservation Area Reserve and Haida Heritage Site).

It was the Conservatives that launched the National Conservation Plan, a $252-million investment in programs to restore ecosystems, secure ecologically sensitive lands and strengthen marine and coastal conservation.

We will not force a carbon pricing scheme on Canadians that will kill jobs and raise the cost of everything. I encourage on-the-ground action and partnerships with those who know best, leading to tangible results that make a difference for those who truly love these lands.

Federal candidates debate environmental policyOctavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror

The Edward Milne Community School theatre became the stage for an all-candidates debate on Wednesday, which was divided between Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich riding candidates David Merner, Liberals, Francis Litman, Green Party and Randall Garrison, NDP.

Conservative candidate Shari Lukens did not attend the event.

Six questions were prepared, all of which covered environment-driven topics such as the creation of local green jobs,

sustainable energy, as well as the controversial Enbridge Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan pipeline expansions.

Much of the focus, however, remained on the world impact of oil, notably in regards to reducing Canadas own carbon footprint, an issue Litman was eager to address first.

We propose a carbon fee and dividend approach, which may be 10 cents more expensive for some of us at the tank to make it happen, but at the same time we will re-distribute the dividend in the form of a guaranteed livable

income to all Canadians, she said, adding that the Greens will also end thermocoal exports, phase out rapid coal fire generation plants and stop the expansion of oil and gas.

Garrison suggested the NDPs plan to implement a cap and trade system as opposed to the Green partys direct taxation at the pump.

Green policy hopes that taxes will do that, but it does not create direct investments in lowering greenhouse gases, he said.

A cap and trade system sets limits, and companies have to

then stay below those limits, if they cant, they have to buy credits from someone who has done better than them.

Merner disagreed with the NDPs cap and trade system, calling it a bureaucratic failure, instead, the Liberals focus would remain on developing carbon pricing framework across all provinces in the country.

The cap and trade approach is a licence to pollute, the board of the Land Conservancy of Canada decided not to get into cap and trade because its much better to price carbon, he said.

One thing all three candidates agreed on was to put an end to the pipeline expansions that inch ever so closely from the east towards British Columbias coasts, let alone to the addition of a whole new fleet of extra tankers that will sail local waters.

The Green party says no to these tankers. Were realistic, we understand were using oil and gas every day and we have plastics, but we need to ween ourselves from this extract and export system that were in, Litman said.

Wow! Seventy-five years ago this was the view from Sooke School looking out to the water and towards Woodward Point. Does it ever take me back! I must have been in Grade 3 then.

The large building you see on the right was the Throup barn, at that time owned by George Duncan. When the museum was built in 1977 George gave us the oxen yoke from the barn, which had been used by the pioneer Throup family. The Jonas Throup home stood on the right of the barn; it is now gone, but at the time of the photo was being lived in by blacksmith Lyall Sheilds, his wife Lizzie and their youngest daughter, Elaine.

Today if you looked through the line of vision of the barn, your eyes would meet the Mariner Village development. At the left of the fenced open field stood a house owned by the Percivals; this is the western edge of the tent-lot subdivision.

With the advent of the war years, more people were flocking to the quiet little village of Sooke and more classrooms were needed.

This photo came to us in the collection of Edna Syrett (Nelson) and we assume the photo was taken by her brother Charlie Syrett, a young fellow hired to work on the expansion of Sooke

School, which went from three classrooms to four. Teachers in 1940-41 were Wilfred Orchard, Annie Acreman, Florence Horne and Mrs. J Hodnett.

Things were a lot more primitive in those days, for instance at the left of the fir tree in the photo, there was a flagpole, and generally when we got to school the day after Halloween wed find the schools gate had been hauled up the flagpole. Notice the gate is missing from the front fence alongside the bicycle shed.

One of the exciting days of those school years was when Sookes local bounty hunter, Tony Sullivan, drove his truck up to the gate so we schoolchildren could see the giant cougar in the back. Hed been called to shoot a marauding cougar and in those days before TV, this was a viewing

that added another dimension to our education.

Looking back at records of the schools earlier winters, we found another interesting note: the day when five girls

got the strap for sleigh riding down the hill on the road when theyd been told to go straight home

The Sooke News Mirror is published every Wednesday by Black Press Ltd. | 4-6631 Sooke Road, Sooke, B.C. V9Z 0A3 | Phone: 250-642-5752 | Web: sookenewsmirror.com

They Said It

Our View

You dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that affordable housing and homelessness is a problem in Greater Victoria.

This summers Grant Manor fire brought it home to Sooke quite dramatically when 20 or so people were left displaced after the fire. It took a good few months to find appropriate housing.

Yet, Victoria city councils hopes of having the Capital Regional District borrow $50 million to house the homeless seems like its throwing the baby out with the bath.

The solution works perfectly for Victoria. After all, so much of the homeless problem is situated in the downtown core. But it will do little to help outlying areas such as Sooke.

Last winter when the emergency weather shelter system was activated across the region, only three people from Sooke area were helped. That in a nutshell should tell you about the degree of homelessness in our backyard.

The underlining issue here is the absence of appropriate support from the senior levels of government,

such as the federal government, who has been out of housing for almost 20 years now, and the provincial government that hasnt focused on the challenges here on the Island, said MLA John Horgan.

Hes right, of course.There are more important matters

in Sooke to focus on.Victorias so-called solution to

homelessness only helps Victoria, it doesnt take into account that other communities Sooke in particular are their own entities, and should be treated as such when it comes to

such region-wide decisions.If Victoria city council wants to

solve a regional issue, it should look at homelessness in its community. But if it wants the CRD to buck up $50 million, it should be put in the hands of local communities to deal with their own housing issues.

It comes down to local decision for local people.

Sookes issues are not Victorias issuesWE SAY: The Sooke community does not have to pay for something it may not even need.

This wasnt my first all-candidates meeting rodeo. Last time it involved some swearing. I think even a shoe was thrown across the room.

Last weeks meeting at EMCS was far more civilized, expected, with Mayor Maja Tait at the helm as moderator.

The hot topic that night was reducing the carbon footprint that we leave daily the very moment we turn an engine on. A whole bunch of pie-in-the-sky (albeit good) ideas were tossed around, including the idea of taxing carbon and feeding back that cash into Canadians pockets.

Sounds great, but how will that get back into my pocket? Will that taxation (which, for my seal-clubbing, gas-burning 93 Explorer is probably

close to execution) roll back into my pocket as incentives to switch over to an electric car?

I seriously doubt it, though maybe if I gave in to the same kind of wishful thinking of politicians, Id have an electric car by now. Classic case in point was a comment by Green candidate Frances Litman, which of course, gathered high applause.

Were realistic, we understand were using oil and gas every day and we have plastics, but we need to ween ourselves from this extract and export system that were in.

While I wholeheartedly agree with Ms. Litmans statement, again, I keep wondering, how are we going to ween ourselves from those sources? Reality is, we cannot just simply displace

millions of drivers who rely on their petrol vehicles without giving them an alternative they can actually afford.

Bottom line is, both electrics and hybrids are still hilariously expensive.

Telsa has made huge leaps in the last 10 years or so in regards to its development of the Model S, its drivetrain and battery range, but the cheapest model is still $65K.

Sure, a new, even cheaper model will be available this fall for the rest of us mortals, but its still going to cost a minimum of $30K. You could even look at the Nissan Leaf, a full electric hatchback, or the Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius, both of which still rely on petrol engines to recharge their batteries.

No doubt, all great alternatives, but who can afford them?

You want to encourage people going towards alternatives such as hybrids or plug-in electrics? Bring the cost down. Bring the taxes down. Put the incentives on steroids and make them in the thousands. Lower the apple to the rest of us mortals who cannot afford $500 a month for a new car, let alone a hybrid or electric.

Bold promises may bring thundering applause, but solid delivery that you can actually feel in your pocket is what makes the real difference.

Theres always a case to have affordable housing, but would putting a large facility in Victoria be of benefit to those people in Sooke that are in those situations?

WE ASKED YOU: Should politicians be allowed to set their own wages?

Sure. You get what you pay for. Also, it should be upped for everybody.

Krystal SchumannSooke

No. It should be governed by a separate agency.

Britney CeraldiSooke

If they want a raise, they have to provide a reason as to why.

Lorien ArnoldSooke

Absolutely not. Thats ridiculous. How can they justify that.

Readers letters: Politics, schools More could be done to help kids enjoy outdoors

Re: School work crew axe trees due to misunderstanding (News, Sept. 16)

Itll be nice to see outdoor areas around the school developed for actual use by students, in addition to being beautified. There is a lot that could be done around our schools to help kids better enjoy being outdoors, and it wouldnt cost much in the grand scheme of things.

Lorien ArnoldSooke

Conservative candidate a no-show at debate

I was at the all-candidates meeting on Sept. 16 at Edward Milne Community School.

I was one of several folks who asked where was Shari Lukens, the conservative candidate.

We really didnt get any kind of answer. I was told by one candidate that she would attend the all-

candidates meeting hosted by the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce in October.

Bill WilsonSooke

Guide dogs, not watch dogs needed in Ottawa

We dont need watch dogs in the House of Commons. If any dogs are elected, lets vote for guide dogs. These are dogs that know how to take care of people and try to steer them away from trouble when they make bad decisions.

One would hope a party in opposition could influence change for the better not hold government to bad policy promises. Although the NDP has not yet formed the government, as part of a minority government, they ushered in employment insurance, family allowance, medicare and universal old-age pensions.

When the dust settles on October 20, Canadians want good government. We want the party or parties that form government have the policies that will

carry Canada forward in good financial, social, and environmental health.

Vote for the candidates who can get things done for you whether in government or in opposition.

Why vote for the candidates who see themselves as referees and not strong players?

BE BEAR AWARE! Avoid putting out your garbage out ahead of garbage day.

Keep compost and all garbage, especially greasy stuff, all sealed tight, or, if necessary, inside a garage or location where the bear cannot smell it. Remember, their noses can smell something from 2 km away.

Encourage neighbours to follow suit. One person not keeping track of their attractants puts an entire neighbourhood at risk.

Fruits. Bears like fruits. A lot. So be sure to clean up any apples or berries or other fruit that may be ripening in your yard, as the bears will come otherwise. If concerned what to do with the fruit, or if you cannot remove the fruit yourself, contact Wild Wise Sooke and a cleanup effort can be arranged.

9:30 am Bible Study 11:00 am Church ServicePastor: Mike Stevenson

The way through GalileeThe disciples have been walking with Jesus, they have

seen miracles, they have shared many different experiences, but it seems that they failed to understand what Jesus was

saying to them. But the funny thing is they do not understand him, they do not pay attention to his teachings. This is not new we do not listen to him, and we avoid hearing his voice calling us to listen to him and follow him in Gods project for mankind.

In the way through Galilee the disciples had an animated conversation. After Jesus asked them, What were you arguing about on the way. (Mk 9:33)

The disciples were embarrassed to tell Jesus about their conversation, they were thinking of Gods kingdom, and in the power and prestige they would get when they come to power. Jesus has told them about charity, fi delity solidarity, equality and surrender. That was the argument that entertained them along the way, they were ashamed to answer Jesus and tell him what he wanted to know.

It is not our discussion today? Are those not our same thoughts?

It will be that this is the same shame for we do not want to approach the church? Could it be that we are ashamed to tell Jesus, Lord I want to follow you but I cannot assume any ministry, but I want to be fi rst because I come every Sunday to church?

Jesus said, Whoever wants to be fi rst, must be last of all and servant of all (Mk 9:35).
