Council nixes waste transfer stationPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

An attempt to amend the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw to allow for a waste trans-fer station on properties in the Idlemore and Kalta-sin Road area never got third reading.

On October 14, a public hearing was held to gather public input on the proposed amendments.

Residents and business owners came forward to oppose the amendments to Bylaw 596, OCP Amendment Bylaw which would have seen a num-ber of properties that are zoned General Industrial (M2) go from Community Residential to Industrial. Bylaw 597 would have seen an amendment which would included definition of “Waste Transfer Sta-tion” and would have allowed such in all proper-ties zoned M2 and M3 (Heavy Industrial). There are eight properties which would have Industrial zoning.

Overwhelming opposition from members of the public was shown in both oral submissions as well as written submissions to District of Sooke council.

Many of their comments were concerning the fact that the transfer station in place was operat-ing without proper authorization and zoning with no input from area residents.

Mayor Wendal Milne was extremely irate when the waste transfer station first began operating as he had told them they would not be allowed to carry on their business as the property was not zoned for it. When Milne was away, the busi-ness got approval to go operate. Bylaws 596 and 597 were rescinded in July because of “errors” in dealing with Idlemore and Kaltasin Road proper-ties and it came back before council in September when Mayor Milne made a motion to reconsider under section 131 of the Community Charter. This motion was defeated.

It went ahead and the first public hearing and subsequent proposed amendments were to allow

Sooke gets cash instead of Sunriver playing fieldsPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

Council gave first and second reading to Bylaws 534 and 535 and a public hear-ing will be scheduled. This is in regard to Sun River Development - Exchange of Lands for School Site. This will finalize the negotia-tions between the Dis-trict of Sooke, Sun River Estates Ltd. and School District #62.

In 2004, the three parties entered into a School Site Agreement for the provision of

lands for a school site. In 2010, the District of Sooke initiated an appli-cation to the ALC to facilitate the relocation of the proposed school site.

Sun River wants to develop the old school site for residential uses and in exchange for its development it will make a cash contribu-tion to the District of Sooke of $400,000 and will also transfer the district lands back to the district. School lands will be trans-ferred back to School District 62. The school site will also have a

playing field when a school is built.

The $400,000 to be paid to the district will be earmarked for sport-ing activity.

“It’s a good deal, it gives us raw land and money… it’s good for everybody,” said Mayor Wendal Milne.

The only opposing vote came from Coun-cillor Herb Haldane who said the public had no say in this mat-ter and while the pro-cess looked “transpar-ent and above board” it was done in-camera. He said the public hear-ing which will follow

will deal only with land use matters and not the monetary aspect of the deal.

(In-camera meetings are held for personnel, economic and legal issues).

“Why take a piece of real estate with five metres of fill which is of no value to us,” said Haldane. He thinks $400,000 is not enough and there should have been two playing fields in Sunriver. He also stated that some peo-ple who purchased property in Sunriver did so because they thought there would be

playing fields built.Milne said in recent

discussion leading up to the deal there was always an issue of the cost of developing the playing fields. He said there was full consul-tation with community groups and at the end of the day they were not interested in hav-ing the playing field located there.

Councillor Rick Kasper said it was clearly indicated that previous arrangements were not in the interest of either party.

Chronic pain is becoming an epidemic in North America. According to the Inter-national Narcotics Control Board (2013) Canada is now the sec-ond-largest per capita consumer of prescrip-tion opioids, with an estimated 200,000 Canadians “hooked” on painkillers. Gentle yoga practices have been proven to be an extremely powerful ally for reducing chronic pain while also address-ing many underlying issues that accompany traumatic experiences, pain and addiction.

Whiteson to run for councillor

Mark Whiteson has stepped forward to run for District of Sooke council, In his own words:

“My name is Mark Whiteson, and I am seeking the taxpayers’ approval to be your representative at the District of Sooke coun-cil table.

I plan to bring my more than 20 years experience in the pri-vate sector, with varied-sized companies such as Universal Music and Sprott-Shaw in a variety of business roles, to the council table. My expe-rience in marketing, sales, and managing budgets in the private ...sector are all assets I believe will be of great value to our great town, governance, and ultimately you, the tax-payer.

After having had the privilege of living in several cities around the globe, including London, England, and Toronto, I moved to Sooke eight years ago and have made Sooke my home.

I worked for two years at Worklink in Employment Services and presently I am a partner in a local Sooke small business.

My platform is very simple - taxpayers’ money should be spent

on what we need not what we want. We don’t have unlimited money. There is only one place to get money for the day to day operations and the projects that the people need and or want, and that is from you, the taxpayer. We must spend it prop-erly on the necessities first, before we even consider spending one penny of taxpayers money elsewhere.

People work hard for their money and don’t want to see it wasted on items lower down the list, or projects that only benefit small spe-cial interest groups and not the broader com-munity at large.

Only after we have the fundamentals sorted out properly, should we begin to con-sider the extras.

One of the primary goals of local coun-cils is to ensure safety and security of its citi-zens and provide basic infrastructure such as roads, sewers and side-walks.

To that end, we need to have 24-hour effec-tive policing, to keep our community safe, and reduce property crime. We need to work with the police to ensure that we can achieve this most basic of goals. Taxpayers have heard about the need for sidewalks in key areas for the last two elections and all we see for that is some refurbished sidewalks in front of Village.”

The election is being held on November 15. Advance polls will be open on November 5 and 12 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sooke Com-munity Hall.

the business to continue. All through the processes, Mayor Milne and Councillors Maja Tait and Kerrie Reay were opposed.

“It’s clear to me and our law-yer that this is contrary to our existing bylaws… to blanket zone all M2 properties when contrary to our bylaw is uncon-scionable to me… if it continues we have a little thing called anar-chy,” said Milne at the October 14 public hearing.

Councillor Tait stated, “it looks like someone’s just get-ting a deal from their friends on council.”

Opposition comments from residents included: removing of

Community Residential designa-tion would limit growth; impacts of garbage leaching, rats, vermin and odors; perception of favorit-ism and ignorance of the law by legalizing an illegal act; an unfair playing field; and decrease in property values.

Cindy Humphrey came before council and said, “every-one wants the law enforced. If (councillors) can’t understand the bylaw, I’m not secure about their ability as councillors.”

Mayor Milne said he supports the need for at least one more waste transfer station in Sooke, but said it would have to be site specific.

“If it was legal, Mr. Arden should have applied for a busi-

ness license,” he said.Arden can apply for rezoning

on his property.Bylaws 596 and 597 did not

pass third reading and the M2 and CR zonings remain. Coun-cillor Herb Haldane said the district’s bylaws aren’t consis-tent and said he had hoped this could have been dealt with internally. Councillor Bev Berger reiterated her earlier comments on the need for clear definitions and regulations. Councillor Kevin Pearson was absent.

Reporting Back: “A GP for Me” forumOne Year LaterA renewed emphasis on building

Healthy Communities has seen munici-palities in B.C. and across Canada taking a more active role in creating communi-ties that support their citizens and afford them a high quality of life.

In Sooke, a Community Engagement Forum entitled “A GP for Me” was held in December of 2013, jointly sponsored by the Sooke Region Community Health Initiative (CHI) and the South Island Divi-sion of Family Practice. The aim of the forum was to assess the need for primary health care services in the Sooke Region, including the need for family physicians. The forum was well attended by commu-nity members, elected officials and pro-fessionals interested in forwarding the health of our community.

Following the success of this forum, the Primary Health Care Services Work-ing Group was formed, with an agreement to meet for one year in order to create an action plan to identify and address health care service gaps and priorities in the Sooke region. This working group has brought together diverse organiza-tions to tackle complex problems; includ-ing members from CHI, the West Coast Family Medical Clinic, the South Island Division of Family Practice, Island Health and the District of Sooke.

Addressing the health and social needs of community members is an important factor in building a community that is able to grow and prosper. By working to

attract new residents and ensuring exist-ing residents have the support and infra-structure to remain in the community as they age, local elected officials need to work hand-in-hand with health care pro-fessionals, and senior levels of govern-ment to contribute to citizens’ health and social needs.

As Mayor, I have been committed to building the health of this community, and I have had the pleasure of chairing the Primary Health Care Working Group for the past year. I am proud to report on the accomplishments this dedicated group has achieved in this time.

• Gained new access to physician recruitment programs including linking with a South Island recruitment initiative, joining an Island-wide proposal to hire a “recruitment navigator” position and ini-tiating a local recruitment package.

• Brought provincial attention to the gap in X-ray and ultrasound services in the Region. The working group is collabo-rating with Island Health and the “Part-ners for Better Health” committee to discuss regulations and licensing restric-tions, as well as business and strategic health planning to address the issue.

• Initiated a study entitled “Support Needs of Sooke Seniors” to examine the resource capacity and requirements of seniors who plan to remain in their homes as they age.

• Worked with Island Health increase funding for Ayre Manor.

A decision on funding two additional

beds is currently pending. The Integrated Health Network (IHN) (a

nurse dietitian and social worker embed-ded in the Westcoast Medical Practice is in jeopardy as a result of Island Health funding shortfalls. IHN serves over 2,500 people in our region managing pain, dia-betes, advance health care planning, falls prevention, sleep problems, anxiety and depression to name a few. This function is critical to our community. Our group has met with and advocated for continued support of the IHN.

• We have identified the importance of the rural subsidy provided to doctors in Sooke for the purposes of providing locums when physicians are away. The funding is in jeopardy and the commit-tee has been working to maintain this funding.

• This District of Sooke entered into a service agreement with CHI in the amount of $17,500 to support their activities in the promotion of community well being. Through the group efforts, we were able to obtain matching funding from Island Health. We will be holding a Reporting Back Forum: Everyone is welcome, come dis-cuss the achievements and future plans.

Police give chase to stolen truck Early Sunday morning,

October 19, a Chevrolet pickup truck with a boat and trailer was stolen from a resi-dence on Anna Marie Road.

At 5:30 a.m., the Sooke RCMP received a call from a citizen concerned about a sus-picious male near the McDon-ald’s drive-thru on Sooke Road. The concern was that the male may be intoxicated and the truck and boat he was towing was probably stolen.

Patrols were made for the vehicle and it was promptly located, but the driver refused to stop for police, striking the police car in the initial attempt to flee. A pursuit ensued through the Whiffin Spit area of

Sooke. In the process the boat trailer became dislodged from the trailer hitch, and was drag-ging on the pavement, being towed only by safety chains.

The suspect turned onto Sooke Road, other members

of the Sooke detachment and Westshore detachment were waiting near Otter Point Road. A spike belt was deployed flat-tening the tires of the truck. However, the suspect contin-ued. Nearing the area of Sooke

elementary school the truck was blocked in by responding officers, and the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle was arrested.

Follow up to the theft was conducted, resulting in the arrest of a second male sus-pect. Two 17-year-old males were charged with theft over $5,000. The driver faces addi-tional charges of Flight from Police, Dangerous Driving, Impaired Driving, Driving over .08, and Breach of Probation under the Youth Criminal Jus-tice Act.

There was minor damage from the chase to a Sooke detachment patrol care. No officers were injured.

Over the next 200 years, water levels are expected to rise two metres and because of that estimate, the B.C government is recom-mending changes to building codes and reg-ulations.

In an amendment to Section 3.5 and 3.6 - Flood Hazard Area Land Use Management Guidelines, the govern-ment asked for com-ments from the Capi-tal Regional District on proposed changes to setbacks in areas with may be suscepti-ble to tsunamis, storm surges, steep proper-ties and dikes.

Juan de Fuca Elec-toral Area Director Mike Hicks is not happy with the report presented to the CRD Board.

“The report says property in the Strait of Georgia can keep the 15 metre setback, but property in a tsunami zone it’s 30 metres,” said Hicks.

Hicks said they are using a standard asso-

ciated with the Alaska earthquake in 1964 in Prince William Sound.

Hicks said there was no reported damage in the Juan de Fica, including Port Ren-frew, Pacheedaht, Jor-dan River or Gordon’s Beach from the 1964 tsunami.

“We’ve never had a tsunami here,” said Hicks.

He feels the 30 metre setback is completely unreasonable as is the five metre Flood Con-struction Level.

What this would

mean is that in case of fire or damage, a home or building could not be rebuilt with the pre-vious setbacks if these recommended changes come into effect.

“At most, I believe that the few JDF resi-dents affected by the possible rise of global sea levels will be able to raise their founda-tions, design tsunami resistant break away foundations or create dikes in Port Renfrew. Currently we use pro-fessional geotects and engineers in the JDF to

advise, case by case, property by property the best way to counter the power of the ocean. I think we should con-tinue this practice rather than adopting the general regulations suggested by the pro-vincial government which will cause it’s own economic and social tsunami,” said Hicks.

At this point the gov-ernment is only asking for comments from var-ious governing bodies.

Today it may be aer-obics or any of a vari-ety of specialty classes, but back in the 1960s they were called plain old “KEEP FIT” classes. The classes were taught by Myrna (Mrs Rod) Sullivan, and at that time took place in the gymnasium of Edward Milne Second-ary School, which pre-dated the fine gymna-sium of today’s Edward Milne Community School.

We had a lot of fun, and it was kind of neat to see this photo turn up recently, sent by one of our Jordan River friends. This was our volleyball group, and it allowed young mothers from Sooke and Jordan River to get together for a little boisterous activity interspersed with catching up on neighbourhood gossip.

It’s been a chal-lenge, though, to try to remember everyone’s names from nearly 50 years ago, even though

we were a much smaller community then. A long ago year book found in a Jordan River trunk finally confirmed the names for us.

At left, rear, Min-nie (Mrs John) Barta-nus; Carol (Mrs How-ard) Elder; Olga (Mrs Fred) Oakes; Diane (Mrs Joseph) Mur-ray; Norma (Mrs Bob) Lajeunesse; Ellen (Mrs Dennis) Smith; Jo Ann (Mrs Danny) Lajeu-nesse.

Front, Dorothy Bower (a teacher at Jordan River school); Valerie (Mrs Char-lie) Clark; Barbara (Mrs Ardy) Wickheim; Doreen (Mrs. John) Pearson; Joan (Mrs. Bob) Mounce; Judy (Mrs Larry) Jay; Elida (Mrs Jim) Peers. At the risk of having Judy at the cash register in the hardware store mad at me, I’m suggesting you take a look at her hairdo in 1967. What’s

even more embarrass-ing though, is the word-ing in the yearbook; it says we were called “The Fit Fillies.”

While half a century has meant the pass-ing of several of these women, almost every-one in the group has children living here today, now playing a role in our community.

Show respect for council candidates

We’re in it now - the run up to the election on November 15. The signs are up and the candidates are door knocking and waving at cars and doing whatever they need to do to get their message out. But what is the message exactly? Of course we all want fiscal management, attainable priorities and less traffic on Sooke Road. Those are the givens, the obvious platforms. What is not obvious is how many of the election “promises” are going to be accomplished. There are legalities and processes which are necessary and required. It’s not as simple as saying ‘I’m going to....’

What we need is someone who can lead by example. This applies to councillors as well as the mayoral candidates. There are years of experience and a proven track record by the incumbents. It isn’t an easy job and past performance should speak for itself. What you’ve seen is what you’ll get. New candidates can bring a new and fresh perspective to the council table.

We need to show respect for all of the candidates, for their right to run and their willingness to give of their time for the community. Election signs shouldn’t be tampered with and defaced. If anyone is unhappy with a particular candidate, show that at the voting booth. Put your “X” next to the name of the candidate you want to see around the council table. In such a tight race that this is shaping up to be, allow everyone to have their say. If they are talking the impossible or making promises they can’t keep, that will show. The electorate is pretty smart - they won’t be swayed by promises that can’t be kept.

It’s now only 25 days until we get to choose and there are two opportunities to question the candidates, one on October 30 at the Sooke Community Hall and one on November 4 at the Prestige hotel. Come out and hear what your candidates have to say and see how they respond. It’s your chance to see each of them in action.

FEATURE LETTER

I am responding responding to Tom Fletcher’s opinion piece of October 8, 2014 (Oil a slippery slsope for cities) criticising the resolutions passed at Union of BC Municipali-ties conference and his attack on the motives of our representatives.

Mr. Fletcher’s only message seems to be to belittle and mock the demo-cratic process and to poke fun at a very serious attempt by the repre-sentatives of B.C. citizenry to assert control of decisions around their own local economies, and the qual-ity of our air, water and land.

Clearly Mr. Fletcher believes we local citizenry, who will be in the firing line when a major bitumen oil spill takes place off our coast or in our waterways, should just stay quiet and wait for the infallible man-darins in Ottawa bring down their decisions from on high. We are sup-posed to just sit meekly by and accept Ottawa’s decision for how much risk we in B.C. should bear, how much economic damage we should tolerate and how much envi-ronmental devastation we should accept.

Firstly to educate Mr. Fletcher and demolish the “not our jurisdiction” argument. The Local Government Act, Chapter 323, under paragraph 2(d) of Part 1 — Purposes, Prin-ciples and Interpretation, Purposes of Regional Districts lists “fostering the current and future economic, social and environmental well-being of its community” as a clear Munici-pal purpose.

Secondly, bitumen loaded oil

tankers and pipeline spills and acci-dents very clearly represent a seri-ous threat to all three, especially for coastal communities like Sooke and Victoria. Burnaby, Vancouver, Kiti-mat and several other municipalities get that. Mr. Fletcher sadly, does not.

These threats to our communi-ties are very real and indeed we have already seen pipeline disas-ters in British Columbia. In August 2000, a Pembina Pipeline Corpora-tion oil pipeline ruptured and spilled roughly one million litres of crude oil (6,300 bbl) into the Pine River, which flows into the Peace River. Although the spill occurred 110 km upstream of Chetwynd, the town’s water supply was contaminated. At the time of the spill, the river was the town’s only municipal source of drinking water, and it had to stop using river water for a number of years. Residents also had to discon-tinue the use of many groundwater wells near the river.

Kinder Morgan has been respon-sible for 500 oil pipeline incidents since 1997. The existing Trans Mountain pipeline has experienced four significant spills since Kinder Morgan took over operations in 2005: one at Sumas Mountain, one in Abbotsford, and two in Burnaby.

A large pipeline rupture on the Fraser or Thompson, would not only devastate riverside communi-ties but would have a huge ripple effect right here in Sooke because of the damage to salmon stocks and habitat.

The proposed new Kinder Morgan

pipeline terminating in Burnaby will lead to a six fold increase in bitumen oil tanker carrying shipping traffic right past Sooke. History tells us a tanker disaster on the Strait of Juan de Fuca during our lifetimes is inevi-table. The damage to our beautiful and economically valuable coast and to coastal communities like Sooke would be devastating and last for many years.

Instead of being actively involved in local democracy, Mr. Fletcher would have the people of B.C. and their local municipal representa-tives act like frightened serfs occu-pying their respective corners of the feudal “kingdom” owned by the Feds in Ottawa, waiting for their lords and masters to determine their fates. The people of B.C. will not allow that scenario to happen. We must assert local control of our own air, land and water; for the good of the economy, our health, and our environment on which we and future generations all depend.

The upcoming municipal elec-tions are our opportunity of ensur-ing B.C. never provides the so called “social license” to the pipeline com-panies to do to us what they did to Chetwynd. Please get out and vote this November and also vote on the Oppose Oil Tanker Expansion plebi-scite question.

Any activity is invasive

I must take issue with the headline “JdF Soci-ety loses land...”

Firstly, I don’t believe you can “lose” some-thing you never had.

Secondly, I wonder if people are aware that 98 per cent of all of the land in B.C. is owned by the government, leav-ing a very small por-tion of land on which to build houses and com-mercial.

Keep in mind, please, that someone devel-oped the land upon which you live, and someone will develop the land upon which your children and theirs will live. A few people have been put out by not being allowed to ride their horses on land they never owned.

You also say in your story that “non-inva-sive” activities include horse back riding. This activity is very damag-ing to the forest, as it seriously compacts the soil. Almost any human activity can be consid-ered invasive.

Allison J.M. Barber, Otter Point

No difference between old and new

I note with some degree of concern your thinly veiled attempt to create a divide between what you describe as old and new Sookies rather than focusing on Sookies as tax payers.

I am curious to know where this dividing line would fall; is it one, five to 10 years of being a Sooke resident?

You go on to state that “it’s not just the old boys’ network any-more” last time I looked there were three sitting women councillors or are you trying to imply that they are part of the old boys’ network? They might strongly disagree.

The value attached to “old Sookies” with their history and experience should be embraced not demeaned.

Slow down on Whiffin Spit Road

I live near the top of Whiffin Spit Road. My close neighbours beside me and behind are lovely family people with kids and pets, best people and I’d be sick if anything happened to them because of your bad driving.

About half way down my property there is a traffic sign warning drivers to slow to 40km as they come to the intersection at Wright Road. Every few hours cars honk their horns as deer cross the road. Since they have to slow down anyway, my first question is why the need to honk? Just do what it says and slow

down. On Friday my cat was

hit by a car. Surviving minus an eye now but when I was standing at the end of my driveway on October 10 await-ing my ride to the vet, a woman in a green bronco type truck was speeding towards a young fawn that was crossing. I waved fran-tically. She smiled and waved back then slammed on the brakes just in time to avoid a nasty impact on wet roads.

There are no side-walks at my end and with Whiffin Spit being an Indy race track for the frustrated, behind schedule, distracted drivers, my neighbours and I put our lives on the line to place gar-bage and recycling at the road, not to men-tion trying to accom-plish lawn care.

I have on a few occa-sions, when confronted with the aftermath of charging steel colliding with living tissue, stood out there with my cell and recorded my speeding Whiffin area neighbours as they talk on their phones, drive down the middle of the street, yell at their kids and speed. It is quite entertaining. Alas, I don’t really want any-one to die just because I enjoy the show. So how about speed bumps on Whiffin, the same as Wright Road? Or an infuriating round-about perhaps? Maybe the RCMP could park

behind my hedge and ticket their hearts con-tent. I’ll provide coffee.

I would love to hear opinions on a round-about vs speed humps on Whiffin to slow the traffic. Of course recording a death would be quite for-tunate for advancing these propositions.

For those who won-der who would want such a contraption on Whiffin Spit... I’m the one you see drag-ging the bodies of the deer you’ve hit off the road. I want any avail-able way to slow you down. So if you hit an animal near the top of Whiffin please stop and help. You may never speed again if you had to carry a bleating cry-ing animal off the road and watch it die.

Cyclists in danger

I live in Colwood, but I drive the # 61 Sooke bus daily Monday to Friday.

My concern is the 3700 block of Sooke Road to approx. the 17 Mile House, into Sooke and out of Sooke.

I cannot tell you the terror of coming around a corner, driv-ing a double decker full of passengers and have one of these fools in your lane doing 20 km/h, or having an on-coming vehicle cross-ing the double solid

line trying to avoid another another one of these fools in their lane.

I’m sure it will not be a cyclist that will be killed or injured but some poor motorist trying to avoid them.

I cannot believe that people are cycling along Sooke Road at rush hour. It would appear that their span-dex has cut the flow of blood to the brain.

Garbage container needed

A big thank you to the person/persons who on a daily base pick and clean up the garbage that has been thrown all around the garbage container in front of the high school during the night.

How about replacing the exciting one with a animal/bear proof gar-bage container? That would once and for all solve the problem.

Fires bug neighbour

Three years ago, I owned my mobile home in Guardian Vil-lage on Grant Road. When I lived there, it was kind of peaceful and pleasant park to live in until some neigh-bours to the left of me moved in.

Things were going okay, until the lady started having fires in her back yard and close to the giant fir trees that separate our park prop-erty from the people in behind us.

Bylaws do not exist in this town. I have called the fire chief many times and he would show up, and tell her to put the fire out. No warnings, fines or anything. Three days later, she would light up the back yard again with her fires from burning couches, futons, mattresses, con-struction site debris and many more dan-gerous chemicals that polluted the air. She did not care how high this fire got, as soon as it started going she would go inside. Again, I would phone the fire chief and he would arrive and same thing again, he would tell her to put the fire out and of course, no warnings or ticket. The fire chief told me that this was not his department, it was up to the Bylaw officer to deal with it. So I called the bylaw officer and talked to her, she told me to send pictures, so I did, and the bylaw officer came over once and that was it. The bylaw offi-cer did not pursue this issue, so my neighbour, once again lit the back yard up with her fires. I called the fire depart-ment on this lady five times and nothing was ever done.

So as we can see Dan Tennant, you are abso-lutely right that the Sooke bylaws are not for all. They are for cer-tain people and certain people only.

So ask yourself, what are bylaws for if nobody wants to do anything to enforce them? Look at when people dump their garbage and crap on other people’s prop-erty, the bylaw officer and the police won’t do anything. Police ask for pictures and license plate numbers, but they don’t do anything about illegal dumping.

Again, what are bylaws good for if they

are not enforced and dealt with?

All about sharing

In response to Mar-tha Moore (letter Oct. 15).

Last year the Seniors’ Drop in Center spent considerable time and effort to produce a Visioning Document for mayor and council, a document that is avail-able to anyone who wishes a copy.

Perhaps Martha should obtain a copy, she would learn it has always been all about sharing. The document is very clear.

Just kids playing

To whom it may con-cern, my apologies as I’m very disappointed with some of our com-munity members and don’t mean to come off disrespectful.

So, here’s my little rant. I personally have lived in Sooke for nearly 29 years. I moved here with my mom into the only trailer park on Kaltasin Road when I was one-year-old and have grown up down on Kaltasin for most of my life. Now with that being said, I have chil-dren of my own and yes, I still live down here. Now our respect-ful little neighbour-hood has begun to turn its ways. My children, along with the rest of the neighborhood chil-dren, have been given the boot and not very politely I must add from the trailer park down on Kaltasin.

Their reasons are due to no children living in the park so why should we allow it? So it’s rude to let our children ride through on their bikes not doing any harm or damage and apparently even walking through to go to the beach (it’s the closest and safest beach access for the children) is now caus-ing grief. To which they are yelling and cursing at our children, threats

of calling the cops and harming them for tres-passing.

I’m sorry, but this is uncalled for. I under-stand it’s a private park but why now? Why all of a sudden? (Even the cop I dealt with said there’s nothing nobody can do if they’re not causing harm, there’s no issue). The kids aren’t doing any harm, it’s just a safe place to go in the neighbour-hood, a safe point for us parents to give a little leeway. With all these child abductions happening it’s such a secure place to let our children learn the roads and other safety of life.

CommunityCentre Referendum

QuestionPublic Information Meeting

This question is intended to gauge public opinion and provide direction for the newly elected Council as to whether a community centre is a public priority.

There are no predetermined plans or designs for a community centre. Should the result of this referendum question indicate that a community centre is desired, the public would continue to be engaged in an open and ongoing discussion on what the facility or facilities would be. Options could include the renovation of an existing space, or the construction of a new space.

Council has recently established the Community Centre Public Information Committee. The Committee members include representatives of local non-profit groups who will explain the options this referendum provides.

The Community Centre Public Information Committee has been tasked with informing the public about the upcoming referendum question and will be hosting a Public Information Session:

“Would you support the District of Sooke

working with the community to develop multi-use community centre facilities?

YES or NO”

District of Sooke Council has authorized the following question for voting at the November 15, 2014 General Municipal Election:

Please consider attending this session to learn more about the community centre referendum question.

CASUAL HOME IS RENOVATING!!

I hit a deer. I was driving down to French Beach around sunset when all of a sudden I spotted the firefly eyes on the right. I have lived around here long enough to know that deer like to pal around. I immediately made the decision to slow, then whap thud. A blur wrapped in brown and white, moving left to right, from the oppo-site side of the road ran run infront of my van. As the unfortunate say, “I never saw it coming”.

Emily Dickenson wrote that a wounded deer leaps highest, implying that our will for survival or love will supersede our ratio-nal mind and in that moment we are capa-ble of amazing things. When an animal is killed to feed one’s fam-ily there is a certain amount of personal pride in that and some young kids may think their parent is amazing for providing for them. Some kids may not.

What everyone can probably agree on is how there is a certain amount of shame and embarrassment when you accidentally kill an animal, especially one with big beautiful eyes. When you become an accidental predator what is the protocol, what if it’s still alive? I pulled over and stepped out of my van and dou-bled back, the deer was dead, unfortunately and thankfully. I was thankful that I didn’t have to see her suffer, selfish I know, but that’s the truth.

I called the police to

report and took some pictures to chronicle the accident, insur-ance and such. The police and insurance companies receive a lot of calls about ani-mal impacts this time of year. The lowlight combined with mating season makes for some dangerous situations.

The purpose of this article isn’t to offer a tip or two on how to avoid deer on the road, obvi-ously I’m no expert. What I will offer instead is a tip on how to hunt deer first though make sure you’re legal. B.C. residents 18 years of age or older who wish to obtain a hunting licence are required to complete the CORE Program. The program consists of a practical firearms handling test and a written test.

The tip: New research suggests you should avoid wearing anything blue or camouflage with a lot of white, because white reflects all colours, including blue. Because deer can’t per-ceive colour shades, a hunter wearing camou-flage containing many subtle shades of green and/or brown looks just like one big blob to a deer and the motion will alert the deer. Instead, wear camouflage that breaks up your outline and make sure your detergent isn’t scented and doesn’t have any whiteners.

In conclusion, feel awesome if you’ve shot and killed a deer to feed your family. If you have killed one with your car, it’s ok to feel terrible

after all Mother Nature doesn’t wear black and

white, she wears cam-ouflage.

Q: I am a woman in my 80s. I am still in relatively good health and I live in my own home. When the time comes I would like to be allowed to die in my own home. What do I need to do to assure this can happen.

A: Dying persons have the right to choose to die at home, surrounded by their loved ones. Individuals and their families, whose choice is a planned home death, can expect that their wishes will be respected, and they will receive support and coordinated care.

Decision making for a planned home death should be a collaborative process giving primary consideration to what is in the best interest of the patient and family and involving the patient/famiy, family physician, nursing personnel and others as needed.

MAKE A PLAN with your family physician so you are clear about what will happen and family/friends will know what to do at time of death.

MAKE PREARRANGEMENTS with a funeral home. Such arrangements will normally involve selecting the funeral home and making plans with the funeral director for transportation of the deceased after death and options available for � nal disposition.

COMMUNICATE in writing your plan to family, friends and others such as your spiritual advisor so they may support your decisions and respect your wishes.

Complete information can be obtained by requesting a copy of “Joint Protocol for Expected / Planned Home Deaths in British Columbia”. Included in the Protocol is a form “Noti� cation of Expected Death in the Home” that is to be completed by the physician with a copy being forwarded to the funeral home.

Please email me ([email protected]) your questions and/or concerns aboutanything and everything to do with before and after death procedures, legalities, traditions etc. and I will do my best to answer them.

Flying HighWillem Weiss ripping it up on Ella Beach. While kitesurfing has been likened to “walking on water”, ‘flying on water’ would be a more appropriate phrase, as the speeds of the fastest kitesurfers have reached in excess of 50 knots or more than 90 kilometers an hour! The distances covered by kitesurfers are also mindbending, with an astonishing record of 2,000 kilometer solo journey over a 24-day period set by Louis Tapper. A 5,000 km trans-Atlantic crossing by a team of six took place in 2013. There are many different styles of kitesurfing, from the most popular ‘Freeriding’ which is all about having fun and learning new techniques to ‘Waveriding’ which combines kites and wave surfing in an adrelaline surging tsunami of rapture. It is advised to never kitesurf alone, and taking lessons is highly recommended.

Redemption is on the minds of Spartan foot-ball players going into Cowichan for a Sunday afternoon tilt against the Bulldogs.

With offense mov-ing the ball quarterback Carter Price slipped a perfect slant pass to T-Bone Boyd for a 25 yard run. Then flash Price handed off to Will Gor who swept and deked his way in a rab-bit like fashion for our second score. Price then called his own number and bootlegged diving into the end-zone.

Cowichan added a score. Then T-Bone returned a kick off 80 yards for our 4th score. Offense centered by Creeper Carrier who tackled a punt returner of his smooth long snap keeping the Bulldogs at bay.

O-line anchored by Big Jake, Garrett, Carlos and fullbacks making contin-

uous blocking. Defense held the

toothless Bulldogs to only 5 first downs and 1 score.

Star of the game was

Carson “your not getting by me” Montague, who had to be 3 play ending tackles, helped out by Cheng, Logan, Wilbur, Gor. An unbelievable

team effort! A few debatable calls

robbed us of ransacking them of the ball by Tank Logan and Jared Steele. Final score 24-7 for us!!

Redemption it was. Next game against

U13 girls The Sooke Tidalwaves won a hard fought battle Saturday taking the win 2-1 over Cowican Valley. The Tidalwaves defense was outstanding! Goals were scored by Brittney Homer (unas-sisted) and Allana Garat assisted by Brittney Homer.

By Carleen Dennett, manager

Our Sooke U-15 boys headed up Island with the odds already not in their favour as they had to face the Cowichan Valley U-16 boys with only nine players. Play-ing short handed is always a tough go made more so with the oppo-sition having several spares allowing them to get fresh legs on the pitch. Nevertheless our Sooke team put on a brave face and took on the job. Nick Seabrook opened up the scoring for Sooke in the first half coming in from right field and kicking a beautiful ball past CV’s goalkeeper. Sooke went into the the second half with two goals against.

Not to be deterred though as Andrew Rodd accepted a pass from Garrett Grant and turned and went towards CV’s goal mak-ing no mistake in plac-ing the ball into CV’s net. Shortly afterwards Andrew Rodd was

fed a solid pass from Nick Seabrook. Again Andrew had no prob-lems in knowing where to place the ball behind CV’s keeper. Good effort by all on Sooke playing short handed

with a final score of 6-3 in favour of CV.

U16 Boys had another good game, this one was action packed with the end

result being a 4-1 win for our Shredders. We got 2 goals from Hagen Herald with an assist from Marley Pasichnyk then 2 goalsfrom Tay-lor Cummings with 2 beautiful assists from Chris Berkeley .

Sooke Autobots, U17 girls played Gorge at home, 0-0 at half time. Gorge scored 2 goals, Sooke battled back to tie up the match. First goal by Hailey Dimock, assist by Tayler Ben-nard. Minutes to go Sooke got their second goal by Sarah Ehman assisted by Dimock.

To the Sooke News Mirror:A big thank-you goes out to Rod Sluggett, and

the Sooke News Mirror for my many clients who saw my advertisement in our local newspaper and called me. Through a combination of ads and referrals, my business continues to do well as a local Sooke business.

At some time or other every house owner could use a painter or handyman to � x, paint, or build something in and around their house.

With 30 years’ experience behind me, and many completed projects, I have a long list of referrals to stand behind the work that I have done.

I have many repeat clients, referred clients, those who � nd my ad in the Sooke News Mirror, and those who see my van and come and ask me if I can do work for them. Last year I painted eight houses, completed several drywall projects, and � xed or built many decks, stairs, railings, sheds, fences, roofs, and docks. I have also built houses, foundations, and framed and built sheds.

I look forward to serving many more new clients in the years ahead.

“Collaboration Delivers Results”

Over the past year, Sooke resident David Meek has been meeting with the Triangle Baseball Associa-tion in the hopes of expanding the league to Sooke. Currently there are upwards of 70 Sooke children travelling to Langford to play baseball.

This week, the Triangle Baseball Association confirmed that a new division will be established for the 2015 season called the Triangle-Sooke Baseball. In the first year two teams Mosquito age 10-11, and Pee Wee age 12-13, will play using SEAPARC’s Stan Jones as their home field. It is hoped that future develop-ment of the Triangle-Sooke league will cover all age groups .

Registration will take place in January and at this point David Meek will be organizing the Mosquito team and Mike Hicks will be organizing the Pee Wee team. Coaches, managers, umpires and volunteers will be needed to start this organization and both Meek and Hicks are counting on strong support from the baseball community.

Interested volunteers and players can contact Meek ( 778 – 425 – 4200) or Hicks ( 250-216-5802) or e-mail at [email protected].

Fishing for Coho salmon in Sooke has been great! So far October weather, water condi-tions and good numbers of Coho have made trekking out for some salmon fishing a pleasure. The Coho are close to the Sooke har-bour mouth and for the most part are fairly easy to track down and catch. The Sooke river banks have also been busy with shore anglers trying to land the salmon as they approach the spawning grounds.

The Coho are being found from just outside the harbour mouth to just shy of the inter-national border nearing 600’ of water. Secretary Island and Otter Point are popular starting points, most fishing boats are trolling out until they encounter fish then turn back to stay with a possible school of Coho. Popu-lar lures for Coho usually include brightly coloured hootchies/squirts and spoons-glow, green, pink, and red are good colours to start with. Coho Killers and Coyote spoons trolled like

bait, seem to work well if ran on three or four foot leaders, much shorter than for summer Springs. Anglers are reporting good numbers of these salmon hitting the gear at 65’ to 105’ on the downrigger, while run-ning the gear closer to the boat, approx. 10 feet back from the weight. Currently fishing regula-tions are allowing for one wild and up to three hatchery Coho salmon per person/day. Please

check the regulations on the DFO website before heading out. Halibut fishing has been picking up recently, I have seen some nice fish coming into the dock. The halibut tend to be in deeper water at this time of year, try anywhere from 150’ to 250’ of water. As the salmon begin to spawn in the rivers the halibut will become more active at the river/harbour mouths feeding on the carcasses. Popular baits include fresh herring, octopus, and salmon trimmings includ-ing bellies. Look for slow but definate tide changes and good weather conditions that are suitable for anchoring through (low winds). The halibut regula-tions now allow for two halibut per person/ day, one of which may be over 90cm. Finally, crab-bing has been slower than usual in the harbour, hopefully the spawning salmon in the river will bring more mature crabs into the area. Good Fishing.

Beethoven’s masterworks on program

Roll over, John Lennon. The Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra will be playing Beethoven at the Sooke Community Hall on October 25, at 7:30 p.m., for this year’s “Celebration of Young Art-ists” concert.

The program features two of his masterworks: Symphony No. 3, the Eroica, and Piano Concerto No. 5, the Emperor. The Lord of the Rings Symphonic Suite by Howard Shore, arranged by John Whitney, is also on the program.

The piano soloist is Masahiro Miyauchi, who won the 2014 Don Chrysler Concerto Competition last April. This 17-year-old from Japan is studying with May Ling Kwok at the Victoria Conserva-tory of Music, and is completing Grade 12 at Victoria High.

Music students from the Sooke and Victoria School Dis-tricts will be joining the orches-tra for the Symphonic Suite.

The Eroica, completed by Beethoven in 1804, and the

Emperor Piano Concerto, which was finished in 1811, were both written in Vienna, as were most of his works. We are all famil-iar with Ludwig van Beethoven, the moody non-conformist, who went deaf at an early age but didn’t stop composing music.

Maestro Norman Nelson had this to say about what it’s like to play Beethoven:

“Playing Haydn and Mozart is like the warmth of the sun that dissipates our petty problems and reminds us that the world’s garden is full of roses.

“But if it’s Beethoven on the program, you can bet your boots your miseries will com-pound and an intense rawness will take over, with lots of stress and strife. In spite of his cosying up to Europe’s royals and aristo-crats, Beethoven was emphati-cally on the side of the common man and mostly his music is unrelenting in its angst.

“With Mozart you cuddle and stroke your instrument. With Beethoven it’s smash and grab.”

An exciting evening! The con-cert will be presented again on the following night, October 26, at 7:30 p.m., at Farquhar Audito-rium at U Vic.

Tickets are available at the usual outlets, on-line and at the door. Young people under 16 are free.

Season’s tickets are available for all Sooke concerts, at regular and seniors’ rates.

See www.sookephil.ca for details.

There is a one-acre property in East Sooke that is home to a unique yearly haunted attraction. This is not your everyday haunted house. Starting this Fri-day, Eerie Acres takes you on a 20-minute tour through the house, the woods, full scale effects, and a cemetery with many creatures roaming throughout.

Founders Lindsay and Parry Trowell have been operating the full tour for eight years now, with the help of up to 21 volunteers each night. Volunteers range from friends, neighbours, local volunteer firefight-

ers, to drama students “People come from

as far as Oak Bay and Sidney to have some

Halloween fun for a worthwhile cause. Every year we get big-ger and better, add-ing more stations and effects to our haunt.

“What sets us apart from the other haunts, is that we provide guided tours for all ages,thrill seekers, and even the faint of heart. We radio ahead to our volunteers and customize each tour based on the partici-pants scare level.”

They also provide bail out areas for chick-ens and children at any time throughout the tour.

New pastor at Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity Anglican Church, at 1962 Mur-ray Road in Sooke, wel-comed their new minis-ter this June.

Born in El Salvador, Dimas Canjura did vari-ous jobs there while studying to become a psychologist. He came to Canada in 1991 with his wife, Violeta, and two children, spend-ing two years in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, before heading west to B.C.

Dimas came to Victo-ria in 2008, decided to study for the ministry, and attended the Van-couver School of Theol-ogy at UBC, completing all courses in 2013.

He became a dea-con of the Church and on June 8, 2014 was ordained a priest. Rev. Dimas is also Rector in charge at the Church of St. Mary of the Incarna-tion in Metchosin.

His busy life involves pastoral care, com-munity service, mem-bership in the Sooke Ministerial Associa-tion, assisting with the church’s weekly lunch for the needy known as Vital Vittles, and services both Saturday evening and on Sun-days.

He is enthusiastic about the church’s outreach activities, the next one being the Har-vest Dinner and Silent Auction held annually at the Royal Canadian Legion, where he hopes to greet new friends.

This year the event takes place on Satur-day, November 1, 2014, in the usual setting in the Legion’s Upper Dining Hall, 6 p.m. at a cost of $20 per guest. Cadets of the Sooke Navy League will again assist in serving a tur-key dinner. Tickets are available at the Church, South Shore Gallery and Shoppers Drug Mart.

Come and welcome Rev. Dimas Canjura.

JUAN DE FUCA SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH

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

Our faith Paul in his � rst letter to the Thessalonians says to them “And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the word with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers

in Macedonia and in Achaia.” (1 Thess 1: 6-7). The Thessalonians as � rst generation Christians suffered ferocious persecution, but they were strong in their faith in Jesus Christ and God.

The testimony of the Thessalonians is valid in our days, it is true we are in a different time, but if you noticed the world around you there is a lot of mockery and dislike when people talk about Jesus, and some times we avoid the topic of God because we are afraid of people’s disapproval of our belief. Paul in the letter to the Colossians says, “I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my � esh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s af� ictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church”. (Col 1: 24). It is time for us to imitate Paul and be open in our own beliefs on all occasions when we meet with others in our society.

We need to rejoice in God, be faithful in Him not have any doubt about His love for everyone. God is always beside us taking care of us, when we need him He is helping us. Are we a faithful people, Where is our faith?

Threads of friendship

Thirty years ago two young Canadian women, Nancy Hannemann and Coral Poser met in an isolated rural com-munity in Nigeria. Coral, a CUSO sponsored ESL teacher and Nancy, an anthropology masters student at Manchester University became firm friends but lost touch when Nancy returned to the UK to complete her studies. The two women have not seen or heard from each other since.

Before leaving Nigeria, Nancy asked Coral to buy her some traditional Yoruba fabric from a local market which Coral did. Unfortunately Nancy left the country before Coral could give her the cloth. Today Coral, who runs Rico Massage with her partner Rintje Raap still has that fabric at their home in Sooke.

Nancy now lives in Edmonton, Alberta with her partner David Hannis who was in Sooke recently to check out Har-bourside Cohousing. Coincidentally while he was in Sooke he met Coral and learned of her previous friendship with Nancy. As a result a reunion took place at Harbourside over the Thanksgiving weekend when the African fabric was for-mally handed over to Nancy, on the left, by Coral.
