New fire truck on the way to SookePirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

Back in February of 2006, the District of Sooke decided

to purchase a new aerial fire truck for $580,967 plus another $11,000 for addi-tional small equipment for the truck.

To pay for the cost of the new fire truck each residen-tial homeowner and busi-ness would pay $14.35 per year for residential taxpay-ers and $104 per year for businesses.

At the time, it was stated that the new aerial truck would replace Engine 204 which had reached the end of its 20-year life span. It did not meet pump-rating capacity requirements for 2005 and was in need of approximately $30,000 in repairs. Up to that point the District of Sooke had leased its fire apparatus which ran at about $4,800 per month. At the time it was also said that the approval to pur-chase vs leasing would have

to pass through the alter-nate approval process and if money was borrowed it would have to be approved by the Inspector of Munici-palities.

Taxpayers can now reach into their wallets once again as the district is purchasing another fire truck. This one is not new, it will be a used 2006 E-One Rescue Pumper with a price tag of $229,000 plus delivery charges. This new truck will once again replace Engine 204.

Fire Chief Steve Sorensen says Engine 204 suffered wear and tear when it was sent to Kelowna to help fight the fires, although money was paid for its use. If Engine 204 was repaired and upgraded it would have cost the district $30,000-$40,000 and would still not be considered a front line vehicle. The vehicle, at most, said Sorensen has four more years of life.

“We would be putting a whole lot of money into a truck that qualifies for vin-tage plates,” said Sorensen.

He also said they were not looking for any additions to the fleet.

Sorensen told council that used fire vehicles, like the one they wanted, did not come up for sale very often and they had to jump on the opportunity as two of the three he saw for sale were already sold. Council-lor Dave Bennett agreed and said time was of the essence if they wanted to get the 2006 pumper truck.

Money for the new rig will come from general reserve funds which CAO Evan Par-liament says is there, as there is not enough money in the fire reserve fund.

“We would be making a loan to the fire reserve fund,” said Parliament.

“We’re not borrowing any money, we’re just shifting it around,” said Sorensen. “We’re taking $250,000 now to save money later.”

The recommendation to purchase the used rescue pumper was passed by council.

CAO openly apologizes to the publicPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

District of Sooke CAO Evan Parliament is apologizing to the public for a poor lack of judgement. On June 15, he was stopped by the RCMP for a minor traffic infraction and was then asked to blow

into the breathalizer and the result was a “fail.”

He has been charged with impaired driving and has had his license suspended for 30 days and his vehicle impounded for 90 days. He was not charged under the Criminal Code but rather received a charge under the Motor Vehicles Act.

“I’m serving my pen-alty now,” said Parliament. “I take full ownership, full responsibility. “

Parliament said he is offering his services to the RCMP and will share his story with others.

“This is the first time, the only time,” he said.

Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

A Memorandum of Understanding between the Capital Regional District (through its Juan de Fuca Electoral Area planning depart-ment) and the District of Sooke met with resis-tance from CRD direc-tors at the board meet-ing on June 15.

The MOU was pro-posed as it would pro-vide a framework and timelines for reaching agreements on issues raised in the agreement between the District of Sooke and the CRD, to set out policies, proce-dures and processes for the way in which the district and the

Juan de Fuca electoral area will interact from time to time.

The idea was for the two parties to work in a spirit of cooperation.

The MOU was chal-lenged by the mayor of North Saanich, Alice Finall, John Ranns, mayor of Metchosin and Highland’s mayor Jane Mendum.

“It’s a good neigh-bourly system,”said JDF area director Mike Hicks. “It is so we can have discussion, Sooke council wholeheartedly supports it.”

Hicks was scratch-ing his head as to why directors from “half-way across the South Island” would have any issues with such an

agreement.He said those direc-

tors who had a issues with the MOU showed the “extend of the ill-

ness of the CRD.”“I can totally empa-

thize with the First nations, the Juan de Fuca is in the same

boat wanting self-gov-ernment. There’s noth-ing more I can do,” said Hicks.

The board voted to

approve the MOU with opposing votes coming from the mayors of the Highlands and North Saanich.

Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

“An absolute assault on the governance of the Juan de Fuca,” is how Mike Hicks, regional director for the JDF Electoral Area, described the decision by the Capital Regional District Board to stall any decisions which would be made on first, second and third read-ing on Ender Ilkay’s Marine Trail Holdings development by the Juan de Fucal Land Use Committee A.

The rezoning applica-tion was to come before the committee for first and second reading on June 15.

After a lot of discus-sion the board made the decision to request more information, another report and also more clarity on the voting structure for the JDFEA after a meeting scheduled with Minis-ter of Community, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment Ida Chong.

Director Alice Finall, mayor of North Saanich,

put forth the motion to refer the item stating the Marine Trail devel-opment was of “great regional interest.”

What the CRD board wants is to have a vote on the rezoning appli-cation rather than just committee A made up of the five directors from Metchosin, Lang-ford, Colwood, Sooke and the Juan de Fuca.

Hicks said to the board that to go about this in this way was a blatant way for North Saanich to impose its will.

“All you’re doing is voting against the gov-ernance of the Juan de Fuca and the process,” said Hicks.

He said delaying this application process was paramount to pro-castination.

“I would say the whole process is in dis-pute,” stated Hicks.

Mayor Janet Evans said the whole board could vote, if they bought in, which would be quite a lengthy pro-cess.

Director John Ranns

questioned whether the whole board would have to buy in.

What is meant by “buying in” is that the board would have to pay a share of the land use planning costs in the Juan de Fuca.

Alternate director Lynn Hunter said, “the dancing minister is not willing to get involved. She is the one who is going to have to come clear.”

The whole Juan de Fuca development issue itself has been the focus of protests and let-ter writing campaigns against any development at all in the proximity of the hiking trail. It began with the release of forest

lands from TFL 25 and has escalated to include development issues in the Juan de Fuca.

Exposing the Juan de Fuca Trail to develop-ment may, in an ironic way, preserve the uniqueness and beauty of the trail. That’s the opinion of Juan de Fuca Electoral Area regional director Mike Hicks. He says denying the re-zon-ing would leave the trail and park exposed to the present zoning and inevitable development.

He states, “present zoning woud allow a clear cut fom the high-way to the park bound-ary and opportunity for gravel extraction. It would also allow

for each of the seven separate lots to have a dwelling built within 15 metres of the park boundary, outbuildings seven metres from the park boundary, and a collection of sawmills, boats, trailers, trucks, dogs and everything great and part of rural living.” The trail will continue to trespass on private land, as would the public and B.C. Parks.

Hicks said, we have received hundreds of e-mails and com-ments. The vast major-ity state that they wish the beauty, uniqueness, and the natural state of the Juan de Fuca Trail preserved.

“There are only two ways to achieve that goal. Make an offer to purchase the land or re-zone the land. I have only one option avail-able to me,” said Hicks in a statement.

He said that one of the strongest opponents to any development in the Juan de Fuca has been the Dogwood Initiative.

“The Dogwood Initia-tive army are at home eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches until school starts in the fall,” said Hicks. “The e-mails have stopped since school has been out. I imagine they are trying to delay this until the election in November (and a new land use committee), then the Dogwood can come out and chase me around.”

He said he had no qualms with the peo-ple who are sincerely opposed, his qualms are with the change to the voting structure without the consent of the people in the Juan de Fuca.

Milne’s Landing High School graduation

At the regular District of Sooke council meet-ing held on Tuesday, June 14, council made the following decisions:

Council agreed to fund Community Liai-son Officer Reserv-ist Constable Scott Rothermel to the tune of $4,000 for his work at School District 62. The program is jointly funding with the school

district and five munic-ipalities.

Rothermel works directly with students, teachers, administra-tors and parents across the school district.

The program has met with a lot of success and many issues have been dealt with imme-diately without the need for regular police involvement.

Coun. Dave Bennett suggested this become a line item in the 2012 budget.

Bylaws:Council adopted

Bylaw No. 495, Late-comer Interest Rate Bylaw, 2011; Bylaw No. 496, Delegation Bylaw Amendment Bylaw (474-1) and Bylaw No. 497, Sooke Core Sewer Specified Area Cost

Recovery Amendment Bylaw, 2011 (150-6) was given first, second and third reading.

The Ayre Manor Lodge will see a reduc-tion in their sewer costs which will be based on usage rather than a dwelling unit rate. They will save approximately $2,700 per year.

A Memorandum of Understanding with

School District 62 was approved. The MOU was to facilitate the sewer connection for Ecole Poirier Elemen-tary and Journey Mid-dle Schools to ensure that sewer fees paid are fair and consistent; and to foster ongoing cooperation between the two parties.

COUNCIL BRIEFS

June makes us think of graduation, and this year’s class of grads at Edward Milne numbers 114. An unimaginable figure back in the days when the first high school west of Victoria opened in 1946, gradu-ating its first class in 1947! During the first years, the students were taught in con-verted army huts, left onsite from the days of Milne’s Landing Army Training Camp during World War II.

Sixty-three years have passed since this historic photo was taken. The students pictured are in grades 11 and 12, with their teacher/principal, John B. Wilkinson.

Shared by each gen-eration of grads is excitement and wonder as they embark on their futures. For the stu-dents pictured, there have been 63 years of carrying out their roles in the world around them!

While we are not up to date on each stu-dent, we can offer some snippets of information.

Back row, left: the late Nelson Cook, longtime Otter Point family who spent his working life in the forest industry, mostly up-island. Sec-ond, the late Bob Laje-unesse who followed his dad in the forest industry, was a long-time employee of CPS/Western Forest Prod-ucts in Jordan River. Third, Elaine Sheilds, daughter of the black-smith, who went on to college in the U.S., marrying and raising a large family there. Next

is Bernice Emery, we think.

The late Marilyn Jackman is next; she took teacher training and became the first teacher at Bear Creek School during the hey-day of BC Forest Prod-ucts. Next to Marilyn is her future husband, the late Pete Hansen, mem-ber of another well-known family of fallers. Bill Emerson of Jordan River is seen next to J. B. Wilkinson.

Seated left is the late Daphne Lavender who

became Mrs. Bud Hay and lived out her life in Saseenos. The late Norah Wadams, daugh-ter of the Wadams farm-ing family became Mrs. Cook and lived in Sid-ney. Next is Dorothy Brown of Jordan River, we think. Holding the slate is Jessie Carlow, a Charters family descen-dant who married an airman, David Ander-son and lives in Cobble Hill.

The late Phyllis Mac-Millan, whose parents ran a store, is next; she

became a nurse and married in the U.S. Ruth Banner, another well-known Shirley family member, married John Poschner and lives in the Interior. Seated at far right is Doreen Gal-lia of Jordan River, and we’re not sure where her career took her. (We sincerely apologize if there have been any errors here.)

When Og Mandino, in one of his many books, gave the advice to “go the extra mile”, he must have been thinking of people like you.

Take a walk among the liliesPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

As the sun begins to melt the snow and warm the high reaches the avalanche lilies carpet the semi-alpine meadows in such pro-fusion that “spectacu-lar” seems an appropri-ate description.

Each year a group of wilderness enthusiasts take time to lead others on a guided walk into the hills to view the millions of avalanche lilies (Erythronium mon-tanum) in all of their glory. The lilies along the San Juan Ridge are unique and are in one of only two places on Vancouver Island.

Phoebe Dunbar is one of the organizers of the annual Lily Walk taking place on Sunday, June 26, Tuesday eve-ning, June 28 or Sunday, July 10, 9 a.m. John Muir Elementary School.

“We start at sea level and go up to 3,000 feet,” says Dunbar. “We walk through ancient for-ests, semi-alpine with views of the San Juan valley and the Pacific Ocean.”

Visits will be made to a tea bog, the eco lily reserve established in the 1970’s and the inter-pretive tea hut on the famous Kludahk Trail.

She emphasizes that the walk is just that, a “walk” and not a macho

hike or any kind of seri-ous hike.

“A lot of people want to slow down and be way more observant,” said Dunbar. “This fab-ulous wilderness corri-dor is backcountry at its best.”

For those who might wish to participate in the walks, they should know to wear good walking or hiking boots and perhaps a walking stick or pole. There will still be two to five feet of snow but snowshoes will not be needed and the trails will be clear. Every level of walker is encouraged to partici-pate as this is geared to all ages, all levels of walking ability. There are three or four options depending on each per-son’s ability. If you can only walk a short dis-tance, that will be taken into account. There will be plenty of breaks for looking at wildflowers and walkers are asked to bring a lunch on the Sunday walk and a pic-

nic lunch on the Tues-day hike, which will be a shorter version of the Sunday walk.

Along for the walk will be naturalists Adolf and Oluna Ceska, retired botanists and biolo-gists. They will be seek-ing out the rare and elu-sive snow mushroom. Hans Roemer, one of B.C.’s best known bot-anists, will be joining the lily walk as one of theguides and also on the walk will be guide and woodsman May-well Wickheim. Some members of T’ Sou-ke Nation will be along on this special day.

For those wanting to meet the group at the starting point there is easy road and trail access from Jordan Main. A 4X4 is not nec-essary, but obviously a more rugged vehicle would go the distance. Carpooling can be arranged for a small $5 donation. There will be a requested donation of $20 for the all day walk

and a $15 fee for the half-day walk. Proceeds go towards the develop-ment and sustainability of a native garden plant (edibles and medici-nal) at Sooke’s Sunriver Allotment Gardens at 2380 Phillips Road.

The hike – 3 options – for “loop” walks, led by Kludahk trail stewards, distance varying from 1 to 5km. Lily walks are walks to be obser-vant, learn some natu-ral history. The hikes are leisurely with stops along the way. If one has a known disability or health issue which may impair ability to hike, we advise one not to sign up. We are in the backcountry where medical assistance can take hours to access. Kludahk trail maps are available for purchase on the day of the hike.

For those wishing to take part, phone Phoebe Dunbar at 250-642-4342 or email phoe-betwin@shaw.ca or call Maywell Wickheim at 250-642-4420.

Vehicles will be leav-ing at 8:30 a.m. on Sun-day morning, June 26 from the John Muir Ele-mentary School park-ing lot, arriving back at 5 or 5:30 p.m. Those taking part in the Tues-day evening walk leave John Muir at 4 p.m. returning at 9:30 to 10 p.m. They cannot wait for latecomers.

As advanced as we may now be in terms of technologi-cal progress we’ve always

had the ability to seek out a better life or, at least, a change. For some of us that means the condo down the hall... for others, the continent on the other side of the globe. For me it means a promotion to a newspaper in the province next door.

It’ll be sort of like going against the flow during rush hour, trading in the end-of-the-line, frontier land-rush environment of Sooke for the wide open landscape directly east of Red Deer.

As editor of the Stettler Indepen-dent (another paper in the Black Press chain) I get a new set of peo-ple, facts, figures and burning issues to get acquainted with. There are even two other papers to oversee in neighbouring villages named Bashaw and Castor.

The situation will be just about as different as it can be – saying so long to Sooke, the scenic, relative-ly-affordable bedroom community with the nagging growing pains – a young municipality with a lot of catching up to do especially in terms of infrastructure keeping pace with an exploding population.

Geography and maturity (not to mention a fairly healthy oil-and-gas driven economy) have teamed up

to furnish Stettler with some of the amenities so badly craved in a town like Sooke... things taken for granted elsewhere, like enough sidewalks and streetlights.

The town has a popu-lation of close to 6,000, about half that of Sooke. But it seems much big-

ger because it serves a regional population of 30,000... kind of like Langford East with all of the commercial

accoutrements you’d expect. Stettler is home to a healthy arts and culture community along with – as the pam-phleteers eloquently assert – a world of recreational opportunities.

Claustrophobia is less likely to occur on the sprawling prairie than in a fog-rock-and conifer-dominated Island environment but, if it or a need for more cosmopolitan stimu-lus shows up in Stettler, there is a city of 90,000 just 40 minutes to the west and Calgary and Edmonton are each only about two hours away.

These points indicate a rewarding, interesting future is possible in an area that residents like to call “The Heart of Alberta,” but they will not dilute the fond feelings for Greater

Victoria and the West Coast climate built up over so many years.

The last five years have been good, a good start on a connection with Black Press I’m pleased to be continuing.

I get to trade in my fear of earth-quakes and tsunamis for a fear of tornados and drought. As for flood-ing, I don’t yet know enough to culti-vate a decent phobia.

Many thanks to the many thought-ful folks who have provided help-ful reminders of the usually lower temperatures I’m likely to notice in the winter months, it’s very caring... and I appreciate it, a lot! Thanks to you I’ve made a note to consider switching to long-sleeve shirts in late October. Truth be known, my wife Barb and I have spent many years in an area with much more extreme weather than where we’re going (we’re actually there now) and we can report we’ve retained 100 per cent of the feeling in our extremi-ties.

I’ll keep up with what’s going on in the CRD and watch with interest what happens to Sooke’s transporta-tion arrangements and the ongoing development controversies in the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area.

Thanks to Rod Sluggett, Pirjo Raits, and Mike Kraft for the past five years, and to the very good friends we’ve made here – we will stay in touch.

Giving us a black eye

OUR VIEW

Mob mentality is frightening and unpredictable. We all saw the result of it during the unfortunate riots of June 15. Young men and women acted and reacted in a way they probably never thought they would and the result was a huge black eye for Vancouver and British Columbia.

The scary thing is many of these idiots came downtown with the intention of causing trouble and turning things ugly. It had nothing at all to do with hockey it was only the excuse.

Mob mentality was responsible for the death of Reena Virk and the rape of a young woman at a party on the mainland. Taunting each other on is what they do and no “macho” guy would dare not participate. It is what causes riots and death and destruction in all

parts of the world and one would have thought, as Canadians, we are better than that. I guess we aren’t. Combine testosterone and alcohol and a “supposed” cause and you have a volatile situation no one would want to wade into.

Hats off to those who showed up to clean up and let the world know that this is not who we are as British Columbians. The acts of a few tarnish our reputation and it is pretty sad that this is where we have come to. Those people who participated and looted and set fire to vehicles have likely never been oppressed, hungry, jailed of their political beliefs or had to live in a tin pot dictatorship. They are spoiled, self-absorbed and an embarrassment. They are so vain they had to take photos of themselves stealing, burning and acting like goons.

Shame and guilt is likely not in their makeup, but a good criminal conviction and restitution would suffice.

They are spoiled, self-absorbed...

Profits flow out of town

The decision we are facing regarding the EPCOR agreement is important to me because as an Organi-zation Systems Con-sultant who evaluates alternative organiza-tions within a broader community environ-ment, the Sooke region is facing both an excep-tional opportunity and a serious threat.

The opportunity is that the Sooke region can be developed as an ideal self-sustaining region. The threat is that the world is tee-tering on the brink of at least another reces-sion or at worst a cata-strophic financial col-lapse. One key contri-bution to realizing this opportunity and miti-gating this threat is to develop our local econ-omy by maximizing the recycling of funds we spend within the com-munity.

With the EPCOR agreement, profits flow out of our community. Two local alternatives are to provide our wastewater manage-ment services through a public works depart-ment or through a com-munity co-operative. For both of these alter-natives, the funds gen-erated remain in the community, however there are advantages and disadvantages to each of these alterna-tives.

It is claimed that a public works alterna-tive would be much more costly and is viewed by some people as a less efficient alter-native than the private sector. I submit that these costs and ineffi-ciencies can be signifi-cantly reduced through proper organization design and creative pol-icy development.

The least well-known alternative is creating a community-based co-operative. This alter-native allows for the flexibility of the private sector along with put-ting the distribution of profits directly in the hands of the com-munity through their elected board. How-ever, this alternative requires some smart, experienced commu-nity members who are respected in the com-munity to come for-ward, organize a core team and develop a sound business plan for the co-operative that demonstrates the advantages of this alter-native compared to the

EPCOR agreement.Both of these alter-

natives require the community to step up and take control of our local economy. This is critical to our success as a resilient, sustain-able region. I believe our community has this capability. By say-ing ‘no’ to the 21-year agreement with EPCOR will take us one step closer to at least objec-tively evaluating these two local alternatives.

Send strong message

Healthy Choices, being sponsored under the Community Preven-tion Education Contin-uum, supporting EMCS Dry Grad by obtaining community leaders to commit to a Dry June without alcohol in Sooke, are all the more important this morning due to the despicable, disgusting behaviour of an out of control illegal mob in Vancouver last night June 15 that was fueled by alcohol over a hockey game.

It sends the strongest message to graduating youth becoming adults that healthy choices are the most important aspect of their whole lives.

The Vancouver riots send a strong mes-sage that there are too many people around who choose unhealthy choices that caused criminal activity spring boarded by alcohol.

Ted DeverSooke

More questions

I would like to thank Mr. Parliament, CAO, for attempting to explain what is going on with the public boat launch. (Sooke News Mirror June 15, 2011) however his explana-tion only begs us to ask more questions. For example :

How many actual 30’ – 40’ parking stalls will there be to accom-modate the trailers? I would estimate at most there will be eight stalls -- hardly worth the $1.8 million expenditure.

Consultants have been paid to cost out the project. Why did they not account for the $140,000 oversight?

Why do we need a boat launch that will accommodate two or three boats launching at the same time? surely the cost of the project would be reduced con-siderably if a smaller facility is built.

What is the actual total cost going to be to the taxpayers of Sooke, including the land cost?

When is a building used by a commercial enterprise not con-sidered a commercial building? What affect does this have on resi-dents who want to con-struct a shop on their own property?

What liability does Sooke have for the operation of the fuel pump on public prop-erty? What risk is there of oil spills?

Three metres of land in front of the hotel is a land dedication. Is this

the same land referred to in the restrictive cov-enant agreement signed by Mr. Parliament on Dec. 3, 2009 and which states, “ the district will restrict public access to the covenant area and hereby authorizes Prestige on its behalf to install barricades or gates so that the pub-lic cannot access or use the covenant area.”

I’m sure after the November elec-tion we will receive full and complete answers to these and many other questions that need to be asked.

Whine and cheese

Carol PinalskiSooke

Play by the rules

Regulations and the need for building per-mits are in place for a reason. They are to be equal for all and just because other places do it as Mayor Evans says, it certainly does not make it right.

C. WilliamsSooke

Show some respect

When we arrived in Sooke in 1972 we found

a community that was proud of its friendly vol-unteer way of life. We were made welcome and found it easy to join in and be a part of.

The first All Sooke Day in 1934 celebrated community growth and raised funds for lum-ber to build the new community hall. The logging show became world famous with large crowds attending.

Clam chowder, baron of beef and games gave something for every-one to enjoy, adding to the festival atmosphere of the day. The logging show became known worldwide drawing large crowds. It was sponsored by the com-munity association that worked tirelessly to make it happen. We didn’t always agree on how things should be done but worked out these various opinions without attacking indi-vidual personalities.

Now, we have an elected mayor and council and it seems we have turned into critics attacking every-thing they do, even to the point of being quite nasty about it. We did elect them to run our community, which is growing. Hopefully growth will attract new businesses, giv-ing employment to residents and students needing part time jobs.

We have a right to attend council meet-ings and voice our opinions, ask questions and keep informed on any issues we are con-cerned about.

Let’s take a few steps back and show respect and caring for those who govern Sooke. We can make newcomers feel this is really home and a community they want to become an active part of. “Wel-come to Sooke” can be an ongoing reality as it was for us,

Volunteers deliver petitions

More than 1,500 Sooke citizens havespoken loud and clear about their oppositionto a 21-year sewer ser-vices contract betweenthe District of Sooke and EPCOR Water(West) Inc.

With still a few daysto go before the dead-line to submit signedElector Response Forms, the Committee for Fair Sewer Services for Sooke has received signed forms from more than the 10 per cent of eligible voters needed to send a mes-sage to the district to urge them to considerother options and get the best deal for Sooke.

The District of Sooke is proposing to enterinto a 21-year contract

with the City of Edmon-ton owned EPCOR.The committee was formed after a numberof citizens raised issues about the proposedagreement.

“The voters ofSooke have soundly rejected the District of Sooke’s attempt to push through a 21-yearmulti-million dollar deal with EPCOR to operate our sewer sys-tem. I hope council lis-tens and does not see it as a win or a loss, but rather an opportunity to really listen to thevoters,” said Wendal Milne, chair of the com-mittee. “They want to see an open, tenderedprocess in conjunction with a true examinationof an internal opera-

tion, in order to deter-mine which option isbest for Sooke. While out talking to peopleon this matter, I was surprised by the inter-est and the depth of knowledge. Hats off tothe citizens of Sooke for speaking out on a mat-ter that is important to all of us,” Milne added.

Milne, along with several volunteers, has been visiting neigh-bourhoods over the past three weeks to see how people felt about this issue.

“We had tremendousresponse from the peo-ple of Sooke,” said RickKasper, former Sooke councillor and formerMLA for Malahat-Juan de Fuca. “A vast major-ity of the people I talked

to were aware of the agreement. Going doorto door was a great opportunity to makea personal connec-tion, and many peoplethanked us for deliv-ering the forms – theywere grateful to have had this opportunity tovoice their thoughts.”

“One of our objec-tives in taking on this issue was to keep the public informed and get direct feedback from taxpayers on this important issue,” said Herb Haldane, Sooke councillor. “It is encour-aging to hear that Sooke residents want councilto do the right thing.”

The committee is sub-mitting 1,500+ signed forms to the district onTuesday, June 21.

Sooke Water Watch

Many Sooke residents are very concerned with the District of Sooke's plans to sign away exclusive 21-year rights to a private corporation (EPCOR) to run our wastewater system for their profit.Almost all Canadian municipalities (including B.C. towns the size of Sooke such as Parksville, Dawson Creek, Prince Rupert, Lake Country and Summerland) operate quality water and wastewater treatment systems publicly with their own highly-trained water and wastewater staff.

This is because, historically, public operation of such vital services has been found to be most cost effective, transparent and accountable to the public since there are no corporate privacy and profit interests involved.

In British Columbia, the Capital Regional District and the Resort Municipality of Whistler both recently decided to operate their wastewater systems publicly. Based on extensive reviews of the evidence, both places determined that public operation would be less expensive, less risky and more accountable.

The District of Sooke has not provided residents with an objective evaluation or comparison of the option of running our wastewater system publicly. Surely, we're owed such a comparison before diving head-first into such a significant and long-term contract with EPCOR.

Now is your chance to have your say!According to the Community Charter, the District of Sooke cannot sign the wastewater system contract without your approval. They have chosen a “silence is consent” process to measure public approval, called the Alternative Approval Process. In other words, if you do nothing, the District of Sooke assumes you agree with their plans to privatize our waste-water services for the next 21 years.

A 10% response means that the agreement will have to go to a referendum and the residents of Sooke will get to decide if this long-term contract to privatize our wastewater services should be signed.

Rural B.C. businesses and families get broadband boost

Premier Christy Clark announced today the province is providing $2.34 million to expand Internet service to fami-lies in over 60 locales in rural B.C.

In the Juan de Fuca region, French Beach and Jordan River each received $50,000 for highspeed internet con-nectivity through South Island Cable Ltd.

“Bringing Internet access to our most rural areas is crucial for the future of our young people and their edu-cation, for the health of families and for the competitiveness of our businesses,” said Pre-mier Clark. “Not only does it help give Brit-ish Columbians bet-

ter access to informa-tion and opportunity, but it also brings that information closer and faster to our youngest learners.”

Premier Christy Clark promised to expand broadband Internet into B.C.’s rural com-munities and make B.C. one of the most con-nected jurisdictions in the world.

Since 2008, the prov-ince has provided $6.83 million through Net-work BC’s Connecting Citizen’s Grant Program and funded nearly 150 connectivity projects to

establish the infrastruc-ture needed to bring high-speed Internet ser-vices to over 210 new locales in B.C. Today, 93 per cent of Brit-ish Columbians have access to high-speed Internet.

With these grants, more families, busi-nesses and individuals will soon have access to high-speed Internet services for the first time. The provincial government is commit-ted to creating new eco-nomic opportunities for families by expanding broadband into their

communities.Network BC works

collaboratively with local community groups, all levels of gov-ernment and the pri-vate sector, including small Internet service providers, to encour-

age and facilitate high-speed Internet connec-tivity.

GALA plannedLeah KelleySpecial to the Sooke News Mirror

Our local theatre group, Sooke Harbour Play-

ers is coming up to its 30th anniversary, and to celebrate,they are holding an Annual Gen-eral Meeting Gala at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort and Convention centre in Sooke. Tickets are $20 and are avail-able at Shoppers Drug Mart.

To find out more about the Sooke Har-bour Players Society and this gala, I spoke with Sooke Harbour Players’ president, Bob-bie-Jo Peterson, and asked her a few ques-tions.

1) What is the main reason you enjoy being a part of Sooke Harbour Players?

“I love the experience of being both on and off the stage. I can hon-estly say I really have come to appreciate the amount of work it takes to put on a stage production. Having an activity or group that my son and I can be a part of side-by-side is extremely important to me, not only have we both shared the stage but something a little more special to me is that together we have made some wonder-ful long lasting friend-ships. Volunteering for Sooke Harbour Players Society really makes me feel like I am contribut-ing to our community and making a difference

in peoples lives...(even if it is a very small dif-ference).”

2) What do you hope to see for the future of SHP?

“My hope for the future is that Sooke Har-bour Players continues to grow in membership, education, audience, volunteers and public support in our com-munity. I also believe it would be a true asset to Sooke Harbour Play-ers to see more youth involved, but not just on the stage. We have had several youth over the past few years show us that they can han-dle the commitment, stresses and rewards of being involved in both large musicals and spring/summer din-ner theatres. I am cur-rently working on put-ting a youth program together. Stay tuned for more info.”

3) Why do you think people would enjoy being a part of the society?

“Being a part of Sooke Harbour Players really is a lot of fun. It will be an enjoyable commit-ment for you whether it is to make new friends, build sets, sew cos-tumes, learn new and

amazing things, sing and dance or just help out where you can.”

4) Why did you decide to hold a gala AGM this year?

“This year we are celebrating our 30 year anniversary! Instead of having the same old ‘snooze fest’ at our AGM, we decided to do something a little different. This year we are having a gala to cel-ebrate 30 years of his-tory, talent and sustain-ability... We are going to take you back in time with a few video clips of previous shows and and will be displaying some `oldies but good-ies’ photos, posters, programs and we may even have a few short speeches from the orig-inal founders. We are very excited to hold our gala at the brand new Prestige Hotel in Sooke. The tickets are only $20 and include an incred-ible number of things: A year long member-ship, an appetizer meal at the new Prestige hotel, an informational evening about the soci-ety, access to a bar as well as a silent auction, and participation in the election of new board members. Overall it is a fun night to socialize, become involved with the society, and sup-port theatre in your community!”

5) How reliant is the society on community support?

“First I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the community of Sooke and to all our loyal patrons and mem-bers for your support. We are extremely reli-ant on community sup-

port. Without all of you purchasing tickets we would not be in busi-ness. Yes, we do receive grants from various agencies including the District of Sooke, but tickets sales and com-munity sponsors keep us going.

Another thank you I want to send out is to Christine MacNeil...she has been an active part of Sooke Harbour Players since we put on Jesus Christ Super-star. I truly believe she should receive the SUPERSTAR award from Sooke Harbour Players. From being an actor, board member, director, producer and mentor, to a really won-derful friend, you are an asset. Thanks for all your hard work, talent, dedication, organiza-tion and commitment. You and the family will be missed very much.

Sooke Harbour Players is working extremely hard to bring even bigger and better performances. Some-

thing else we are offer-ing is the opportunity for members of the community to bring their original scripts (we have received a few already), or other show ideas and pro-posals to the board. We want your ideas... to do that you need to put together a proposal for a show you want to put on... if you need more info on what to do or how to do it please send an email shpinfo@shaw.ca or call 250-891-6105 for more info.”

Well, there you have it. Sooke Harbour Play-ers needs your sup-port.

Whether you wish to become involved in the society, on or off stage, or you are simply look-ing for an enjoyable evening at our wonder-ful new hotel in Sooke, be sure to pick up your tickets for the gala on Friday, June 24 from 7-9 p.m.

Jurors selected for SFA ShowThis year three dis-

tinguished jurors will judge over 1,300 sub-missions to the 2011 Sooke Fine Arts Show and Sale. Adjudication takes place June 27 and 28.

“It’s an arduous pro-cess, with each juror spending a good por-tion of a full day judging the art individually and all three judges make final decisions on the second day. This year, the information is being compiled digitally, a pro-cess that complements the show’s initiative to be greener and stream-line its processes,” said Sally Manning, chair of the 2011 Show.

The three jurors are Carole Sabiston, Rich-ard White, and Nixie Barton. All three jurors fulfill the show’s exten-sive criteria for show judging. As respected arts professionals, they are, between them, familiar with a large range of working art mediums and styles, as well as understand-ing the needs of gallery showings and exhibi-tion requirements.

Carole Sabiston has worked for over 40 years in textile, paint and mixed media, as well

as theatre sets and cos-tumes. Her large-scale architectural pieces are displayed locally in the Victoria Public Library, Royal Bank and McPherson Theatre. Her works have been commissioned and exhibited across Can-ada, the UK, the United States and Japan. Some of her many honours include the Saidye Bron-fman Award in 1987, the Order of British Colum-bia, the Queen’s Jubilee Medal, election to the Royal Canadian Acad-emy in 1992 and an Hon-orary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria in 1995.

Richard White has been involved with the arts in Western Can-

ada for 30-plus years as a collector, artist, curator, public art gal-lery executive direc-tor, freelance writer and editor. He was the Curator and Executive Director of the Muttart Public Art Gallery from 1985 to 1995, at which time it was so success-ful it had outgrown its space. White is cur-rently Reviews Edi-tor with Galleries West magazine and Manag-ing Director of Riddell Kurczaba Architec-ture’s 3D visualization studio in Calgary.

Nixie Barton grew up on Canada’s West Coast and gained her formal art training at UVic and Nanaimo’s Malaspina College. Her paintings

often reflect the imag-ery, colours and strong patterns she finds in her extensive home garden on Vancouver Island. Barton describes her own work as having a “wonky sense of com-position.”

Artists who are accepted will have the honour of seeing their work hung in the 25th Sooke Fine Arts Show, a landmark year for the largest juried show on Vancouver Island. This year $11,000 in prizes will be awarded. The jurors alone decide on prize awards, with the only exceptions being the Children’s Choice and People’s Choice awards, which are voted on by the public attending the show. The jury will select approxi-mately 375 works of art to appear in this year’s show.

The 2011 Sooke Fine Arts Show opens to the public at the SEAPARC Leisure Complex on Sat-urday, July 23 and runs for 10 days through Monday, August 1. For further information about special events and directions go to www.sookefinearts.com .

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18

Have you ever had any tribulation? That may seem like a silly question. After all, what sane human

being can say he or she hasn't had to carry some kind of life's burden?This really takes me to a little bit of word explanation: tribulation.In ancient Rome, grain was separated from husk by riding over the

sheaves in a crude cart. Instead of wheels, the cart had rollers to which sharp stones and rough bits of iron had been attached. Those rough rollers tore the valuable grain from the worthless chaff. This cart was called a "tribulum." That's where we get the word "tribulation."

It's quite possible that today you feel as if God were running over you with rough, iron-and-stone-studded rollers. If so, you know tribulation.

Of course, we also need to remember that tribulation can have a purpose. It always has a high purpose when it is perceived from God's perspective and point-of-view.

According to God's plan, tribulation can come because He wishes to separate the valuable you from the worthless stuff of this world. Remember, tribulation isn't designed just to hurt; it is allowed by a caring God to make you more special and of greater worth than you would have been if He had left you alone.

Oh, one other thing about tribulation, the Heavenly Father sent His Son to endure a life of tribulation -- our tribulation -- so we might have an eternity without that burden.

Jim SinclairSooke News Mirror

The pride was appar-ent as soon as coach Trevor Bligh walked into the Sooke News Mirror office on June 18.

Bligh had news he could not wait to share, news relating to a young man he has coached and watched develop into a stellar athlete.

To say Quinn Yates comes by his sport-ing talent honestly is an understatement, so would it be to say the Yates family is success-ful at athletics.

The children of Campbell and Glo-ria Yates are all noted multi-sport achievers. In Quinn’s case he has genetics and loving parental guidance on his side, plus the inspi-ration of a pair of sib-lings (brother Cody-20 and sister Kali-19) to draw motivation from.

The major news brought in that day by Bligh is the same as what’s got Quinn riddled with excite-ment of late – in August he’s off to Denmark to spend a year at a highly regarded sports/arts institute, the same one from which tour-ing teams have visited Sooke over the past several years. There was, incidently, a profile on that very basketball academy in the May 25 issue of this paper.

This is not a sideline, basketball is serious buisness at Effersko-

len ved Nyborg and only those with seri-ous potential are likely to be enrolled. The process for the power-ful and talented young Yates is, in a way, ath-letic justice.

The family has had close contact with vis-

iting Danish players, having supplied a bil-let home for as many as five players at a time over the past several yearS when they’ve come to Sooke.

During this year’s late May visit Quinn took every opportu-

nity to connect with the coach, letting there be no doubt about his interest in attending the school. It worked.

He admits it’s fairly short notice for head-ing off to Northern Europe for a year, but he’s sold on the deal.

“I thought it was a possibility, like, a very slight chance,” said Quinn by phone on June 18.

“It ended up happen-ing and I was pretty ecstatic. It’s a school focussing on sports and theatre.”

Quinn will alternate – basketball at one loca-tion, and academics at an international acad-emy where English is the mother tongue.

Once the invitation was offered it was up to Quinn to decide. Because he’s a good boy he first consulted with his parents (Campbell and Gloria), who, with-out reservation encour-aged him to accept.

This is the stuff fan-tastic future memories are made of, not to mention solid educa-tional preparation for whatever the future holds.

“I’ll go as far as I can in sports,” he said, going on to tout the high value of the aca-demic curriculum he’s headed for as well.

Locally, Quinn has been working with a south Island regional U15 select squad as well as a junior (UVIC) Vikes group. It’s clear that this kid has a work ethic to

go along with his talent and physique.

“Quinn’s had a great year,” said Gloria after Quinn had handed over the phone, “lots of exciting things happen-ing for him for sure. We feel totally confident that he’s going to have a great time there.”

Mrs. Yates said all the kids in the family had become involved in sports from about the age of five and it became a big part of each of their lives.

Back to Coach Bligh’s assessment:

“Quinn is the third

Yates kid I’ve coached. At first glance you are impressed by the sheer size of Quinn, but more impressive is his hun-ger to learn basketball. In 16 years of coaching at EMCS I have never had a player develop as quickly as Quinn has. From where he started in September to where he is now is amazing and a credit to his work ethic.

“While Quinn is expanding his all-round game at EVN in Den-mark, myself and the rest of the team will be working towards a goal

shared by Quinn, his Sooke teammates and myself – a first trip to the provincials in 2012-2013 for EMCS.”

As is so often pointed out, sports can so often have a very positive influence on a young person.

Gloria also made sure to include the details of Quinn’s achievements over the past year, which included Rookie of the Year honours in football, and the junior basketball award, plus the MVP nod from his community soccer team.

Massive year ahead for the mighty Quinn

LOST LOST CATCAT

“I’m tired” said the sports radio host the day after game seven of the Stanley Cup Final and its sickening side-bar riot.

David Pratt’s com-ment summed things up for this pouting puck-o-phile and many thousands of others, I’m sure.

It’s not as though we hardcore Canuck sup-porters and the legions of fresh recruits were not each delighted to fill a spot on the band-wagon, but did it ever feel good when the team-train pulled into the station and we were allowed to disembark and get reacquainted with real life.

This year, number 40, marked the squad’s third trip to the final. On a personal level, another milestone was recorded – this is the year I cracked.

Supporting the

Canucks even before their 1970 NHL induc-tion, I had proudly, and at times even smugly professed my “ultimate fan” status. I would never miss a game on TV or radio if it was in my power to tune it in. There were some appointments along the way that just couldn’t be slithered out of, but I would always be sure to find results and digest as many high-lights as were available if I couldn’t watch or listen.

I have since con-

ceded top-fan status to the smart phone pack-ing, app-downloading crowd who enjoy 24/7 updates from Canuck Nation.

This year I hit the wall and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Because with my revelation came a gigantic relief.

I pulled the plug on the emotional paint mixer when the score got to 4-0 in game six in Boston.

I had never had a single hint of digestive woes but this time my tract was tied in knots.

I thought, “I’m not on the Canucks payroll... I don’t actually have to go on with this masoch-ism.”

I should have gone for a bike ride but I turned the channel. I felt better just getting away from Hughson’s play by play and Simpson’s descrip-tion of Boston’s over-whelming superiority. These guys are two of the very best in the business but after two months I just couldn’t take any more.

After some news I turned to the King of Queens. “This is great,” I mumbled to myself, “it’s supposed to be stupid.”

I couldn’t, however, make a clean break, and revisited CBC for the end of the game but did manage to steer clear of the post-mortem.

I was staring at the 32-inch Samsung for game seven, taking

heed of a creed from some famous person who had stated some-thing along the lines of “I’d rather regret some-thing I’d done instead of something I didn’t do.”

So I watched. When the closing horn blew that relief I’d discovered in game six returned. I was, as Tiger Williams once said, “Done like dinner.”

You just can’t give a Stanley Cup finalist enough credit. Imagine the mental and emo-tional stress they have to endure along with the incredible physical abuse.

I salute them, and believe if the Canucks can add the right amount of grit to the mix they may yet win that cup.

But when it comes to making the emotional investment... I’m hold-ing a little more back in 2011-2012.

Woodworks Sooke atom Seahawks faced a tough group of defend-ing champions in Gold Cup final action Sunday at the big time venue of Royal Athletic Park. This was only the third time in Sooke commu-nity football history a team has competed at this level.

The rugged, sizable and experienced Saan-ich Wolverines earned a hard fought 20-8 vic-tory.

The Seahawks turned in a full effort in every facet of the game... something that has become their trade-mark over the course of a most impressive 7-3 regular season as well as a gripping 6-0 tri-umph over Westshore in playoff action on the previous weekend.

According to the coaching staff, and given the fact the squad was coming off a winless campaign last season, the team surpassed all expectations.

“Sooke pride stood tall,” stated coach Dar-ryl Pollock

Seahawk Dreydon Lindquist earned defen-sive player of the game honours, while an out-standing effort by Jor-dan Schutt put Sooke’s major on the board.

The Sooke Home Hardware peewee Sea-hawks finished their season like champions.

The full roster of 16 players gave it their all

versus the Gordon Head Raiders in the Silver Cup final at Victoria’s Royal Athletic Park. The offensive backfield of Jacob Arnaud, Ben Hol-mes, Garrett Tunkow, Josh Tipton, and Torin Keoughan clawed for every inch.

The offensive line of Malachi Ince, William McBride, Alex Campbell, Braedon Gouk, Jared Purdy, Jacob Dyer, Dex-ter Kennedy, Jacob Fos-ter, and Julian Peterson were headstrong and

courageous in standing up to a quick Raiders attack. Their discipline led to five offside penal-ties against the Gordon Head defence.

The Seahawks pres-ence on defence was no different. They earned three sacks in the sec-ond half of the game and forced a few turn-overs. Leading tackler Quinn Plant was out of the game with an injury, but Todd Mal-lory and Holden Bed-ford stepped up as

leaders and supported the tenacious defence.

A Seahawks 62-yard scoring drive was capped off by a one-yard plunge by Tunkow, and Sooke won the sec-ond half of the game.

The trophy went to Gordon Head for the 22-6 win; however, the Seahawks earned a big-ger reward by proving dedication and staying together as a team can earn you a victory in the final battles, despite the challenges faced all

season long.

Isn’t football amaz-ing?

A big thank you to our leadership from the staff: coaches Jason Allen and Robert McBride, team man-ager Caroline Tunkow and our sponsors.

– Coach Tom Billings
