Dwindling membership and a place to call home are stumbling blocksOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
For seniors, the Sooke Community Hall, which serves as the Seniors Drop In Centre, isn’t just a place to gather and socialize, it’s a lifeline — and one that is just breaths away from flatlining.
The number of volunteers and members
is one of several issues to be discussed at the organization’s annual general meeting Dec. 3, which includes the ongoing search for a treasurer and vice president, positions that haven’t been filled in years.
Dec. 10 will mark the last day of operation for the drop-in centre, as well as the last day of bingo for 2015.
But as the centre is set to re-open its doors on Jan. 12, its future is uncertain, particularly if Carol Pinalski, the organization’s president, has to fill her role again next year.
“I’m getting to the end of my tether,” laughed Pinalski, who hasn’t been relieved
of her position for the last eight years because there simply was no one around to do it.
“I’ve worked so hard to try and get a place for us. I’d just hate to give it up, but I don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said.
In recent memory, the seniors drop in centre started off at the corner of Otter Point and Sooke road (where Academy Dental is located now) – there, the building was fully-independent, close to the town core, and open to anybody over 55 to drop in for coffee, or a bite to eat, or to simply visit and socialize.
The organization had almost 300 members, but after it had to move, Pinalski said it just went “downhill” from there.
“We had no place to go. Firefighters let us use their lounge, but eventually they needed their lounge back, so now we’re at the community hall,” she said, adding that even on itself was, and is, a challenge.
“We’re non-profit, so we don’t make any money … we can’t afford to be paying $2,000 a month for rent.”
SENIORS’ CENTRE FACES UNCERTAIN FUTURE

A stolen pickup truck carrying looted property was recovered by Sooke RCMP on Nov.10 following a high-speed chase on Highway 10 near Port Renfrew.
Prior to the chase, police responded to a sighting of the vehicle, a white Toyota Tacoma truck stolen overnight in Sooke, in the area of Sombrio Beach and Port Renfrew.
Mounties tried to pull the vehicle over, but the driver drove off at high speed, evading any attempt to be captured, said Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur.
By this point, the Integrated Road Safety Unit intervened and set up a roadblock on Highway 14 near Sandcut Creek, where the suspect was able to brake and turn around just before hitting the spike belt.
Heading back towards Port Renfrew, the suspect lost control of the truck and skidded out onto the opposite shoulder. Unable to get the vehicle going again, the suspect took off on foot, running down
the highway. He was arrested a short distance later.
Michael Alexander Bruce, 26, of Sooke is charged with several driving-related charges, possession of stolen property, theft and other charges.

Fortunate as we are to be living in an age when women can serve in the military next to men and be recognized on the same level, the idea was still a novelty not that long ago – something Sooke veteran Camille Tkacz knows a few things about.
Having served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 35 years, Tkacz was part of only a handful of women in the military who pushed towards recognition and equality.
She was also involved in many peacekeeping missions, as well as combat operations in Bosnia and Hertzecovina and Afghanistan.
“As a woman, you couldn’t expect in those days to go into a field unit directly to become a sergeant major, if you wanted to do something, you had to play the same game as the men did.”
– Camille Tkacz
Sitting behind a desk was just never her thing, and sure enough, she made the decision to do something about it early in life.
In 1973 at age 20, in her first year of
university, she was given two offers in one week: one was to be come an airline stewardess, the other to go into the military.
She chose the military.
By the time she finished her degree, she was already a master corporal, and remained with the Canadian Armed Forces until her retirement at age 55.
Again though, it wasn’t easy, as back then, it was very much a man’s world. It didn’t help either that in those years, the military didn’t allow women in combat; but that didn’t stop Tkacz from reaching the goal of what she wanted from her career.
“As a woman, you couldn’t expect in those days to go into a field unit directly to become a sergeant major, if you wanted to do something, you had to play the same game as the men did,” she said.
Once an established NCO, being in the field was far more satisfying to her due to the hands-on experience, as compared to an office clerk or administrative job behind a desk.
She spent a year in Bosnia and Herzecovina during the Bosnian War, in what she calls “roto zero” – a military term for the first unit to set everything up and put everything in place. And even though her mission was initially a peacekeeping one, the operation had quickly
turned into a military force.
“What amazed me about Bosnia is that it was such a change from doing the Olympics one year before, to using the Olympic soccer fields for a mass grave site,” she said. “They were such a modern country, and to see how quickly things can change was pretty shocking.”
And regardless of how much training and preparation goes in place, witnessing and dealing with death is still an emotional and deep part of human nature.
“The hardest part for me was to ask people to do things that I knew were going to maybe affect them for the rest of their lives, such as going to work with the infantry that were helping us in areas of mass graves,” Tkacz said.
Her experience in
Bosnia was only part of it, as her challenge as a high-ranking woman in the military was still hard to accept for some, especially in the Eastern European block where such positions were essentially non-existent, along with the idea of soldiers having a voice in the first place.
“The hardest part for me was to ask people to do things that I knew were going to maybe affect them for the rest of their lives.”
– Camille Tkacz
One time, she made a speech to some military people. They were really taken with her, but not in the way she hoped.
“They thought,
‘that’s what we need, a lot of those really aggressive women, good soldiers, we can do this, and NATO will love us.’ I later get a call, saying they were very impressed with me, and that they went and took every cook and every secretary and made them a sergeant.”
Her reaction was to re-explain that regardless of the fact that they were women, they still needed to start at a low rank like every other man, to learn to be a soldier, learn to handle a weapon, and actually develop the ability to lead before becoming a sergeant.
Mind you, it wasn’t without a positive result – many countries had to completely revamp their military, and Tkacz spent several years doing professional development and training, as well
as teaching other countries how to have NCO’s who were empowered to speak.
With an illustrious military career behind her, she moved
to Sooke with her husband, becoming service officer at the Royal Canadian Legion and volunteering at the Sooke Food Bank and seniors homes.

Ceremony pays tribute to the fallenRemembrance Day
It was an emotional day in Sooke last Wednesday as hundreds of people gathered at the Cenotaph to honour Canada’s veterans and fallen soldiers.
The official Remembrance Day ceremony was attended by stooped veterans, serving members of the Canadian Forces and hundreds of ordinary Canadians, who lined the sidewalks and grounds of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The District of Sooke is retaining the services of the Capital Regional District for animal control services.
Sooke has had an animal services contract with the CRD, since its incorporation in 1999.
The new contract is for a one-year term and begins Jan. 1. The contract is paid through the $3.5-million CRD requisition and doesn’t affect Sooke’s municipal budget.
So far this year, CRD animal services has responded to more than 270 complaints in Sooke, including 82 for dogs at large.
“Sooke is a fairly busy community and as a community
grows, so do complaints about animals,” said Don Brown, manager of bylaws and animal care for the CRD.
As part of the contract, Sooke will get regular patrols
by animal control officers throughout the week, and an officer is available on-call at night and on weekends.
Last year the CRD seized more than 600 dogs and 350 cats throughout Greater Victoria with “virtually every animal being re-homed,” Brown said, adding seven years ago the CRD won a national award for re-homing animals and last year was runner-up to New York City in an international competition.
Along with enforcement, CRD animal services also conducts public education workshops and uses volunteers to exercise and help look after animals in its care.

Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke MP Randall Garrison has been appointed a prominent role in the NDP shadow cabinet.
Garrison was appointed as National Defence and LGBTQ Issues critic on
Thursday by NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair.
“We have a lot of work cut out for us and we’re ready to get results for Canadians,” said Garrison.
“The NDP team in Ottawa is strong,
experienced and will work hard to ensure the new government fulfils its promises for change.”
Garrison will also push for the NDP’s priorities, like setting firm targets for the reduction
of greenhouse gas emissions, public health care and reforming the electoral system.
In the previous Parliament, Garrison held the critic’s role for Public Safety.

The drop-in centre has been at the community for the last two years.
While sharing a facility with another entity in the community was always an acceptable avenue, the community hall isn’t ideal for folks in their 70s and 80s to navigate.
Acting mayor Kevin Pearson said there are a number of groups and a local government that are working towards a one-shot solution, albeit not without its own series of financial
challenges. “There’s opportunity
there for a total refurbishment or have another facility built, but in the end, it’s an economical question,” he said.
“Without assistance from outside of the community, it’s a tough goal for us to come up with the funding.”
A process of some kind is already underway on exploring options for a better facility to serve as the Seniors Drop In Centre, but that process still remains under a pile of paperwork and careful planning.
“We don’t want to make a hasty decision,
we want to look at the longevity of a project, because this is one that will carry us through many
generations going down the road. Do it once, do it well,” Pearson said.

They Said It
Our View
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
That’s an expression worth remembering now – and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated.
That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic.
It should be a good thing if
someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams.
Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response – just enough to encourage the behaviour.
And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back.
Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard – for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets.
When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or
uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back.
And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street.
There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

Every time I think of the Sooke Community Hall, I picture a single mother working around the clock to take care of her children. She’s there to feed them, she’s there to entertain them, and she’s there to provide a shelter.
For more than a century, she’s managed to care for tens of thousands of children, aka, us, the Sookies.
Some may wonder, why I refer to the community hall as a “single” mom – well, that’s because it is the only building in Sooke that feverishly operates around the clock for an almost ludicrous amount of people: from the Meals on Wheels crew who prep the food for immobilized seniors, to Sooke Food Bank volunteers who organize food items, the Sooke Fall Fair who use it as an event area, as a dojo by the Sooke Martial Arts Association, and as an acoustic concert hall by musical organizations such as Sooke Philharmonic and Sooke Cabaret.
It also serves as the Sooke Seniors Drop In
Centre for last two years.Let’s just face it, the Sooke Community Hall is
one of the most intimately-used building on the Island.
At the same time, it doesn’t take a city planner to notice the building is outdated. From its hit or miss interior lighting, its time-capsule exterior, to its just-satisfactory disabled access, to kitchen facilities so limited, it’s a miracle anyone gets anything done in there.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not poking at anyone for the community hall’s state, in fact a hand of applause is needed for the folk at the Sooke Community Association who keep it from falling into ruin. But they can’t do it alone, not anymore.
In a recent letter to Sooke council, the SCA highlights the matter, saying it does not have the know-how or funds to make the necessary improvements to the hall.
So what to do? Well, just ask any Sookie walking
down the street about the hall, and you’ll find it is sacred to them. It’s a temple, an office, a place to socialize in. If it falls into decay, there will be nothing left to repair, or to pass on to the next generation.
The answer to making the hall better for Sooke does not lie in external help as some may have pointed out in the past. On the contrary, it lies here, among us, in this giving and nourishing community, because the hall technically belongs to no one and everyone, and deserves the same nourishing heart that “she” has given us.

Mourners left out with no elevator key
On Nov. 7, a very beautiful and heart-filled Celebration of Life was held at Sooke Community Hall.
It seems more often our hall is being used for these celebrations. It brings our wonderful community together for the grieving families and friends that are still close by, from out of town or from far away.
On this occasion, a longtime Sooke resident and close friend to family was unable to attend as there was no one present outside to operate the elevator.
Being such an emotional time the last thing anyone thinks of is the key to the elevator. Hearing the touching speeches can leave anyone teary eyed.
I was wondering why is there no one available for hire to
operate the elevator when you rent the hall? You could offer the contract to one of our local security services or let the person renting the hall have the option.
No one should be left out in the cold.

Parks contractor goes above and beyond
Has anyone else noticed our parks gardening contractor out in inclimate weather cutting, pruning and keeping not only our public spaces in great shape but also weed wacking, and blowing the debris off the roadways coming into Sooke?
Steve McKague does a lot of work without charging the district. Why?
He loves where he lives and wants people to be proud of their town and give a good
impression of our town when folks first arrive.
McKague not only cleans up the garbage at the sides of the road leading in and out of town but has cleared blackberries and broom and now keeps the grass cut and tidy.
Behind the scenes, he builds lovely benches, repairs park structures, prunes trees and shrubs and is well liked in the community for his efforts.
I have heard countless comments on how well he does his job and the work he does above and beyond his contract.
I have been to some of the parks, which had a sign but were not accessible, transformed into a work of art and accessibility.
I would like to commend his efforts and publicly thank him for his community spirit and give credit where credit is due.

Tom FletcherGuest Comment
We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.
As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.
Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending
his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.
Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.
“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”
It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public
relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.
We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.
Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.
This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.
One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.
China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Sooke History
Alice of Moss CottageVisitors to the Sooke Region
Museum sometimes take in a tour of Moss Cottage, built around 1870, the oldest standing building west of Victoria.
Though its history had begun earlier, the society decided, when we moved the venerable dilapidated building from its site on West Coast Road (near the Baptist church) to the museum grounds, to restore the interior to the 1902 time period.
At Christmas time in particular, a Moss Cottage tour will feature not only the house’s chatelaine, Aunt Tilly Gordon, but her six-year-old daughter Alice, in a period frock with pinafore. Little Alice and her brother Harry grew up in Moss Cottage, and are an important part of our pioneer history.
Matilda Muir Gordon and her husband Jack Gordon had been living with her family at Burnside, on Maple Avenue, where Jack worked on the family farm started by her father, Michael Muir. In those days, tuberculosis, or consumption as they generally called it, took a heavy toll of life in the Canadian west, and Jack Gordon contracted the illness.
In 1901, when Matilda suffered the loss of her husband, Burnside Farm itself changed hands as well and it was necessary for Matilda to move into the four-room cottage standing on neighbouring land, along with her two little ones.
Alice and Harry grew up surrounded by Muir and Welsh relatives as neighbours, and walked to attend Sooke School (on the present location of Sooke Elementary).
To make ends meet, the frugal Aunt Tilly took in boarders, a boy and five sisters in the Ross
family of Goldstream, in order for the Ross children to be able to attend school.
Alice helped out with household chores of course, and also helped on the neighbouring John Muir farm of Woodside. She grew up to marry a young man from Victoria, Jack Patterson. During the First World War, younger brother Harry served overseas in France, where he was lost on the battlefields, and is
now remembered on the War Memorial at Sooke’s Cenotaph.
With her son gone and her daughter married in Victoria, Matilda Gordon also moved into Victoria for her senior years. Along with grown up daughter Alice and Alice’s husband Jack, though, the pioneer family continued to come out to visit at Sooke when they could.

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

Phil Rossner wants to make your Mondays a little less manic – and it could improve your life.
Rossner, a practitioner, facilitator and teacher of meditation and mindfulness at Sooke Yoga and Wellness, is offering two by-donation programs on Sunday evenings aimed easing your mind and soul into the new week by reducing stress, anxiousness and even depression.
“It’s a perfect entrance into the busy week, and people have told me it really helps them get prepared for the week ahead,” said Rossner, who also goes by the spiritual name Tâm.
Qi Gong and Tai Chi is offered at 6 p.m. on Sunday evenings, followed by Mindfulness Meditation at 7:15 p.m.
The two programs complement each other. Qi Gong and Tai Chi are a series of physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention. Mindful Meditation can improve memory, intelligence, creativity, concentration and attention, Rossner said.
“Taking a timeout to meditate will clarify options and help set a course when you’re not clear on the best direction to go
next,” he added.And while you can learn
meditation on your own, Rossner, who has been teaching the art for more than 25 years, said often times it best to start in a group atmosphere.
“It’s really important to have a group as support, especially when you are beginning a
practice, because it’s so easy to go off the rails. Once you’ve abandoned it for one or two days, it’s really hard to get back.”
Sooke Yoga and Wellness is located at 202-6750 Westcoast Road. For more information, please call 250-642-9642.
Meditation an ommm for Monday

Instruction to protect children from “cyberbullying” should be included in B.C.’s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers.
The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online.
In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then.
“The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means,” Denham and Turpel-Lafond conclude.
Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person.
The report calls for the education ministry to “ensure that developmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.”
Education Minister
Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.”
Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed
resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades “about cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.”
Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people
have online access outside of school, and that by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young people’s communications
around the clock, or to cut off their access.
“For young people, halting use of social media, websites, cellphones or email accounts is an impractical solution,” the report states. “It would be equivalent to house arrest and social deprivation.”
Teach online safety in school, expert says
Amanda Todd’s video and suicide at age 15 became an international symbol for the dangers of online bullying.

The lines have dropped and the fish are biting in the first-ever Sooke Saltwater Series.
The series is the amalgamation of three popular, well established Sooke fishing derbies beginning the season with the Sooke Halibut Derby in May, followed by the Sooke Coho Derby on Thanksgiving Day weekend, and wraps up with the Sooke Boxing Day Derby.
The series is a season long points race, which will encourage avid fishers to take part in all three derbies to win the Sooke Saltwater Series and take the title of Sooke Fishing Champion.
The idea of a saltwater series has been discussed within the Sooke fish guiding community for a number of years, but it was only this year it came to fruition.
It spawned with Ron Neitsch of Eagle-Eye Outfitters and 2 Reel Fishing and soon other fish guides – Elden Smith (Crab Shack), Al Kennedy (Reel Excitement Fishing Charters) and Laura Dalgliesh (Island Outfitters) – joined in.
“We wanted something for our shoulder season,” Neitsch said.
“We don’t want to run the derbies in the summertime when we are all so busy.”
So far, the response has been favourable for the Sooke Saltwater Series with 38 fishers signed up, and series sponsors also getting onboard.
The winner of the series wins a one-of-a-kind jacket and baseball cap and cash. There will also be second and third place prizes. Prizes will be presented at an awards night on Dec. 29.
Proceeds from the Sooke Saltwater Series and derbies will go to Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society, the Charters Creek Interpretive Centre and Sooke Food Bank.
“Being guides we take a lot out of the ocean,” Neitsch said. “We wanted to put stuff back in. We don’t always have the time to donate to those things.”
For more on the Sooke Saltwater Series, please call 250-642-7983.

It wasn’t the best of weekends for the Sooke Thunderbirds, but the team showed encouraging signs to coach Kevin Berger.
The local minor hockey club placed seventh out of eight teams at the Alberni Valley Minor Hockey Association Midget Tournament.
The Thunderbirds lost 3-0 to Maple Ridge, 2-0 against Vancouver and doubled up by Powell River 4-2 before bouncing back on Sunday 5-2 victory over Oceanside Generals.
“The outcome was not as good as anticipated,” Berger said.
The Sooke squad was shorthanded for the entire tournament struggling at times with just 13 players, due to injury, suspension and personal commitments.
“What this weekend did show is that if we’re healthy, we are unstoppable. We’ve beaten all these teams (except Vancouver) in the past,” Berger said. “We weren’t out of any of the games.”
The weekend also provided a good teambuilding experience with platers bunking and eating together.
Berger hopes to get his team on track this Saturday (Nov. 21) when it hosts Oceanside Generals at SEAPARC Leisure Complex arena. Game time is 3 p.m.
•••The Sooke Thunderbirds Midget Female team
squeaked out a 4-3 victory over Cowichan Valley Capitals.
The local side was up 4-1 going into the third period, but managed to hold on for the win. Three of Sooke’s goals were short-handed.
Hailey Dimock netted a hat trick and Kailee Purnell potted one for Sooke.
Midgets focus on teambuilding for upcoming games
Meshari Alabbasi, Adriaan Mulder and Yimaz Tuncel each scored one goal as Nanaimo United beat Sooke Loggers 3-1 on Saturday in Vancouver Island Soccer League Division 2 men’s play.
Robbie Heggelund got the lone marker for Sooke, which now sits in seventh place with a 3-4-2 record.
The Loggers are on the road this weekend when they travel to Saanich to play the Bayside Tigers
for a Saturday match.•••
Sooke United’s record dropped to 1-6-1 on the weekend with a 3-0 loss to Gorge FC in a Vancouver Island Soccer League Division 4B men’s match in Saanich.
Paul Grieve with two goals and Mackenzie Hadley with one led the Gorge charge. Cameron Turner recorded the shutout.
The Sooke Seahawks are gearing up for their spring season.

Contraband or counterfeit cigarettes that avoid government taxes and are often sold to teens are much more readily available in B.C. than Alberta, according to a new study.
Illegal smokes made up 15 per cent of the discarded butts sampled at sites across B.C., including schools and hospitals, compared to 10 per cent in Alberta.
The survey was commissioned by the Western Convenience Stores Association, which wants the province to crack down on the illegal sales.
WCSA president Andrew Klukas admits his members have a motive to get more customers in their stores, but insists it’s in the public interest.
“To see this going on across the street from us, to see these products being sold without tax to kids, without any age testing or any controls, is extremely frustrating,” Klukas said.
The rate of illegal tobacco found in butts discarded at B.C. schools was 15.5 per cent, the highest in western Canada.
Surrey’s Tamanawis Secondary had the highest rate among B.C. schools – 19.7 per cent of discarded butts that were illicit smokes.
The rate was nearly 39 per cent outside the Passport Canada office in downtown Vancouver, nearly 32 per cent at UBC and about 25 per cent at Terrace’s Mills Memorial Hospital as well as a federal government building in Surrey’s Newton area.
The association argues high taxes and other government regulations have encouraged the underground tobacco business, where consumers can get cigarettes on the cheap.
“A lot of people are using these products and they simply don’t understand it’s not victimless,” Klukas said.
Besides the estimated $120 million a year in lost government tax revenue, he said the trade helps fuel organized crime in B.C. and across the country.
Most of the unauthorized smokes sold in B.C. are produced on aboriginal reserves in Quebec or Ontario and are smuggled across the country, Klukas said.
He said B.C. could follow other provinces and let municipal police forces keep the proceeds of crime, giving them a financial incentive to tackle smuggled smokes.
Klukas also argues the province’s finance ministry doesn’t have enough staff pursuing fraud investigations.
“Get some more boots on the ground and it will pay for itself,” he suggested.
The top 10 B.C. cities with the highest rates of illicit cigarettes found were: Vancouver at 28.7 %; Richmond at 21.2 %; Terrace at 19.8 %; Surrey at 17.6 %; Prince George and Prince Rupert, both at 14 %; Langford at 13.1 %; Chilliwack at 13 %; Kamloops at 12.2 %; Victoria at 11.6 %; and Port Coquitlam at 11.1 %.
Klukas said the WCSA is not lobbying government to reduce tobacco taxes, but argues they can’t be increased without first getting control of the problem.
Finance ministry spokesman Jamie Edwardsen said B.C. will be requiring all legal cigarettes be sold with a new Health Canada stamp that makes them easier to distinguish from unauthorized ones.
Provincial fraud investigators have an illegal tobacco tipline that accepts anonymous reports at 1-877-977-0858.

Kendra WongVictoria News
A Victoria neighbourhood group is expanding its food program with the goal of helping 100 low-income families in Greater Victoria over the next year.
The Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group has launched the fifth annual Gift of Good Food fundraiser with hopes of raising more than $50,000, more than double last year’s goal.
Local businesses, organizations and
teams are encouraged to raise money that will go towards supplying low-income families, single parents, or families who need support with Good Food boxes. The boxes contain roughly 11 pounds of fresh local fruit and produce, and are picked up or delivered every two weeks.
Last year, 11 fundraising groups helped 24 Fernwood families after raising $11,000.
Kathryn Juricic, a fundraising coordinator with the program, said the food boxes help families year- round and supplement healthy, nutritious food into
their diets. Families pick up the boxes with other customers as well.
“In doing that, it reduces the stigma of people basically taking charity,” she said. “It relieves some of that feeling. No one wants to show that they need that or admit it and so, that’s why it’s so important for us to partner with these community centres because the families are chosen through relationships and confidential conversations.”
This year, the neighbourhood group is expanding the program to include
10 community centres such as Beacon Community Services, Burnside Gorge, Island Health, James Bay Community Project, Oaklands Community Association, Quadra Village Community Centre, Saanich Neighbourhood Place and Sooke Family Resource Society.
The community centres are responsible for selecting local families to receive the boxes, spreading awareness and acting as a drop off point for donations.
For more information or to donate visit thegoodfoodbox.ca/donate.
Food box program benefits low-income families
Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
When it comes to fundraising in Sooke, we’ve see it all – bottle drives, car washes, concerts, food drivers, and, recently, waxing for a good cause. No doubt, Sookies have the imagination, and the willpower, to raise money for just about anything.
Now comes the chance for every employee working in Sooke to step up to the giving game through United Way’s workplace campaign program, allowing just about any business, big or small, or take part.
The way it works is simple: an employee signs up for the program and provides a number to be deducted from their payroll regularly. That, in turn, pools into a collected account which is then used by United Way for various charities and community initiatives, such as food banks and homeless shelters.
A workplace campaign also helps a company achieve its corporate social responsibility goals, according to United Way.
Sooke acting mayor Kevin Pearson, who serves as the workplace campaign chair for the District of Sooke, said the idea is to encourage municipal employees to reach out in areas of their own community that are in need.
For more info on running a workplace campaign, please contact Robyn Ownens by email at [email protected].

10,000 donations sought for food bankOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
It doesn’t take a genius to notice that the world has problems, but it certainly takes a great amount of strength and personal will to band together and make a difference.
Precisely what Edward Milne Community School leadership students Hope Millard, Hailey Dimock and Andrea Van Dyck, will try and do in the coming weeks as part of their latest initiative: the 10,000 Tonight Food Drive.
The trio, along with their leadership teacher, Todd Powell, will join both Belmont and Royal Bay secondary schools to each collect 10,000 or more non-perishable food items in one night, from 5 to 9 p.m. on Dec. 2. EMCS will then donate everything to the Sooke Food Bank that same night.
Anytime within that week, people can still bring food in – after all, every bit helps.
Given EMCS’s smaller size, it’ll still be a challenge for the team, but everyone is
confident that Sooke’s big heart will come shining through.
“There are a lot of families who go without Christmas, so it’s nice to know that we’re doing something positive,” Hope Millard said. “Since we’re such a small community, it’s cool, because you’re truly working with your neighbours and helping everyone out, which is super special.”
Around 30 tables will be set up in the
school foyer, and each classroom will receive a donation box – first class to fill the box up
the most get treated with a delicious pizza lunch.
“We want to make this event as big as we can possibly make it, start it with a bang so then we have that to live up to,” Powell said, who maintains a leadership class of around 65 students.
Biggest challenge so far is to get the word out, given that EMCS has only 700 students and is situated in a smaller community than the other two.
Millard, Dimock and Van Dyck suggested that since there’s not as many kids or parents to get it out to, their first push will be to break past that barrier and get it to the people who don’t even have kids in the school.
The spirit is strong
with this leadership team though, and given the challenges, they’re feeling pretty good about it.
“It’s a good club for the soul, because it helps everybody. We’ve got lots of work to do, but really, it’s not a lot out of our day to help other people,” Dimock said.
“It’s really easy to just drop off some
cans, no one’s asking for the moon, just do what you can,” added Millard.
With many hands on deck needed to make it all happen, Powell noted that volunteers – drivers in particular – are most welcome to join and help out.
He also pointed towards notable local politicians, Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan
and re-elected MP Randall Garrison to get involved.
“If you want to be involved, please get involved, the more the merrier,” Powell said.
Anyone who wants to get involved and volunteer can send an email to [email protected] or contact EMCS by phone at 250-642-5211.

October is always an exciting month and it’s especially great at Journey Middle School with several events over the last few weeks.
On Oct. 20 some girls at our school went to Power of Being a Girl at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre.
Students from different schools came to do activities such as yoga, stress-buster, kickboxing and rocking the awkward. They were provided with lunch and souvenirs such as water bottles and a pin. It was a really great program that celebrated the greatness in girls and we thank the organizers for having us.
The student council organized a Halloween dance which was hosted in the gym on Oct. 29.
Almost everyone wore a costume and the following students were recognized for their excellent costumes: Noah H. for best make-up; Christian Z. for most scary; Weston W. for most funny; Paige S. for most creative; Cole, Clarke M. And Olivia C. for most realistic; Reilly R. and Madison T. for cutest; Gemini R. and Shaylin S for most traditional; Maddy F. for most original; Jordan C. for best homemade costume; and Emily T and Amelia B. for best jack-o-lanterns.
Earlier in the day Mr. Elm and Mr. Hopkin’s classes carved more than 80 pumpkins to help raise money for the Sooke Family Resource Centre.
The pumpkins were lit up and displayed at a local house.
We had an expert carver come into show a few classes how to carve pumpkins in a very unique way. A special thanks to community member Karen Webb.
Nov. 10 Journey students and staff held a Remembrance Assembly. Several students read poems and sang songs.
Our band played O’Canada and we had a student play a solo on her violin and another student play a solo on the piano.
The best part was our guest speaker, Joe Danylenko, and gave us a lovely speech about remembering the people who served us and who continue to serve us.

Sooke Dance Studio’s talented performers get to show off their latest moves at Disneyland
Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
A band of 21 Sooke Dance Studio-based dancers — known as the Performance Company and Hip Hop Crew — have wooed the public in schools, the streets, senior centres, sports centres and everywhere else in between.
Now, they plan to take their moves into a bigger, brighter spotlight.
The young dancers, aged between nine and 20 years old, were chosen to travel to Disneyland in Anaheim Calif., on March 21 to attend and perform at the Disney Dance 101 workshop, where they will train with Disney’s own dancing elite ensemble of directors and choreographers.
The 90-minute, high-energy workshop will give the dancers an opportunity to learn a Disney production number, followed by valuable advice from the pros on how each dancer’s individual contribution leads a team to work in mesmerizing unison.
This is something which Jessica Rempel, one of the attending Sooke dancers, is beyond excited about.
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something like this and to take part in such a cool workshop,” she said.
Rempel is one of many who will help bring to life the group’s piece de resistance, the grand Decades of Dance finale, in which each team will “roll through the decades” through dance, starting with a 1920s tap number, all the way to the present’s “whip and nay nay” dance scene.
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something like this and to take part in such a cool workshop.”
– Jessica Rempel, Performance Company dancer
In essence, it’s the final piece that will pull all 21 dancers onto the stage, starting with the 1920s flappers doing a tap number with tap shoes, then it goes through to the 1950s with the poodle skirts, then the 1970s with the afro wigs and psychedelic pants, and on through the 1990s, to now, where all 21 dancers on stage together to do a really current and fast number to close the show.
All in half an hour, giving dancers just one minute to change costumes and move onto the next number.
And practice makes perfect, after all. Both teams are busy rehearsing numbers in styles of hip hop, jazz, and dance theatre.
Taking on such an exciting and bold endeavour is not only a dream for the dancers, many of whom never left the Island, let alone the country, but also for Sooke Dance
Studio founder Carole Cave, who has dedicated her life as a local dance instructor for the last 25 years.
“It’s not just a performance, it’s a learning opportunity and a dance experience to grow as a dancer,” Cave said, adding this is the first time ever that Sooke Dance Studio dancers travel abroad, as their usual performance grounds are in Sooke, as well as the Greater Victoria Area.
The opportunity also comes after years of trying to recover from a fire that destroyed the old Dance Studio and finding another, something which Cave points out is a welcome outcome.
“That’s why this feels so good, it’s because we finally have a home, and we’re back to growing again, instead of being set back after the fire,” she said, adding that the main reason why she hung on to the dance dream is because there is a need in Sooke for a dance studio where travelling into Victoria is not necessary.
The dancers still have a long way to go though, and travel expenses are yet to be covered, which is why the Studio has set up a gofundme initiative to raise money to make it happen.
“It was kind of up to them [the dancers] to figure out who would make the financial and time commitment to go,” Cave said, adding that participation in the event wasn’t open to the whole studio, just the performance-geared classes.
Just to qualify, the studio had to supply an audition video of three numbers the dancers had done within a
year, as well as photos that showed their costumes. And it’s a performance, not a competition, as there’s
no judging — it’s solely a learning experience, the same mantra the studio has maintained since its inception.
“Even in the dance studio at home, there’s no such thing as being better or worse, as everyone learns, trains and performs at the same level,” Cave said.
“It’s not just a performance, it’s a learning opportunity and a dance experience to grow as a dancer.”
– Carole Cave, founder, Sooke Dance Studio
And they won’t just be performing the numbers before a Disney audience, but for the local public as well.
On Dec. 17, the Crew and Company will perform a rehearsal of their numbers at the Sooke Baptist Church, accompanied by performances at all the local schools in March, April and May, as well as Ayre Manor, senior centres and the Rotary’s spring auction event, to name just a few.
The Sooke Dance Studio has been running Performance Company class performances in the community for the last six years.

Phil N. RossnerSpecial to the Sooke News Mirror
Paisley Love Rose is a local singer/songwriter who will be celebrating his first CD release, entitled Just A Dream, with an upcoming concert that will include local wunderkinds Adam Dobres (guitar), Richard Moody (viola, violin, mandolin) and Anneda (backing vocals). I recently sat down with Paisley at the Temple Home to discuss his music and this milestone recording:
Q – So, the CD is now complete?Paisley – A final little bit of tweeking,
but it will be ready for the 21st. For those interested in purchasing a copy, the cost will be $15.
Q – Who have been the main influences in your musical life?
Paisley – I’d like to start with my father. When he was 15, he was discovered as Victoria’s first “Elvis Presley” by Norm Pringle, so when I was growing up, my father was always singing and playing guitar. I would sit on his knee and we would typically sing Beatles songs – the first I remember being “She Loves You.” I was a “flower child” in the 60’s and even though I was younger, I enjoyed the best of the times. I was totally into the music scene at the time which included bands like Holy Smoke, Morningstar and all of these great local 60’s bands. My grandparents weren’t crazy about this “new” music, so they would send me albums of 50’s rock. My whole life has pretty much revolved around music and musicians.
Q – So your main instrument is guitar?
Paisley – I play guitar just to write songs. I also like to play keyboards and mandolin. However, singing is my first and foremost favorite. It’s funny… when I was in my teens all my friends wanted to play guitar and I didn’t want to, so they told me that if I was going to hang out with them I
would have to do something, so I would do the vocals. That started me on the path of singing, making up lyrics and writing songs.
Q – Can you tell me a little bit about the songs you’ve written for this CD?
Paisley – 2015 has been a very heart expanding year for me, so my lyrics are largely based on emotions. The songs are mostly about love, happiness and joy and sharing the amazement of life. Some of the songs are a little melancholy and at first I thought it may end up being a bit of a sad album, but it’s actually turned out to be a happy album with a lot of heartfelt emotions.
Q – Where was the CD recorded and what other artists appear on the recording?
Paisley – The recording was done locally and also includes musical contributions by Adam Dobres, Richard Moody, Tyler
Carson and Anneda. Adam is the guitar player extraordinaire on the album. He also plays bass and some of the percussion. He’s really a wonderful producer and arranger of music, so when I presented the songs to him he just took them to that place that I always knew that’s where they should be going and that’s what they should sound like. There is also violin, viola and cajon on the recording as well as some keyboards and percussion. The album is called “Just A Dream” and it’s definitely been an amazing dream and I have such an amazing “dream team”, if you will.
Q – How about future musical aspirations?
Paisley – Definitely… Adam and I, while putting this CD together, also have a full other complete set of material which we will filter through and see what remains for a 2nd CD. Also, I would like to do some
more shows in support of the new CD in a month or two.
Q – Anything else you would like to add?
Paisley – Yes, I would just like to convey how grateful I am to all those musicians involved, as well as to dearest Lulu Love Rose and Elspeth McClean. All is Love!

Singin’ with heart
Barney Bentall and Matt Masters Burgener singing off in Calgary. Bentall & the Cariboo Express will be returning to Sooke this Sunday, Nov. 22 at the Edward Milne Community School Theatre (EMCS) for yet another refreshing performance of roots, rock and good fun. Doors at 7 p.m. show starts 7:30 p.m.
Philharmonic’s ‘Festive Harmony’ Christmas show coming to Sooke
The holiday season is just around the corner, and one way to start or continue a family tradition is to attend the Sooke Philharmonic’s Festive Harmony concert in Sooke on Saturday Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sooke Baptist Church.
And needn’t worry if you miss it on the Saturday, as the Philharmonic will return on Sunday, Dec. 6 at the Quarterdeck Ballroom at Royal Roads University in the Westshore at 2:30 p.m., as part of Royal Roads’ 75th anniversary celebration.
Norman Nelson and the Sooke Philharmonic Chamber Players will be joined by the Sooke Philharmonic Chorus, under new Choral Director Nicholas Fairbank.
The performers will be showcasing several well-known works by Handel: Water Music Suite No. 1 in F and selections from Messiah, one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. Returning soloist Nancy Washeim will be featured in Messiah, which was originally written as an Easter offering but is now also a musical rite of the holiday season.
Also on the program will be movements from Suite No. 2 in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach and the third movement of his Concerto for two Violins in D minor, known as the “Bach Double” - one of his most famous works and considered one of the best examples of the late Baroque period. This piece will highlight two young sisters: Robin and Marijn Butterfield.
The B minor Suite, also known as the “Flute Suite” is vibrant and fast-paced, leaning towards the entertainment side of pure music. This suite gave Bach a chance to write for transverse flute, which had just started to become fashionable at that time. Listen to it played by Sooke Phil flautist Patricia Hollister
The local artisan for this performance will be Bev Petow and her metal art, which was a huge success at the Sooke Garden Tour and on the Stinking Fish Art Tour. Bev is donating a piece of her art as a door prize.
There is still time to become a member of the Sooke Philharmonic Society and be eligible for the members’ draw of Chef Propose dinner for two with glasses of wine at Stickleback Westcoast Eatery.
Youth 16 and under are always free. Tickets are available at sookephil.ca where you can also find a list of our Sooke/Westshore/Victoria ticket outlets and information on membership. For more information, please call: 250-419-3569. Tickets are also available at the door.
If you are already out and about for a deliciously-unique Christmas gift, this is it.
Going into its eighth year, the Harbourside Lions are ramping up their efforts for the upcoming Taste of BC event, which will be held at the Edward Milne Community School on February 6.
For $35, visitors get to enjoy a wide variety of tasty appetizers from the finest eateries in Sooke and from the Island, as well as local wines and beer, and, potentially, spirits as well.
Tickets will be available on the first week of December at Sooke Shoppers Drug Mart, Peoples Drug Mart, EMCS, Little Vienna Bakery, and Pemberton Holmes.
Taste of BC tickets on sale soon

Ekoos Vocal Ensemble will present its fall concert earlier than usual, on Nov. 29, which will be the first Sunday of Advent.
Whereas last year the choir was musically in Germany cel-ebrating a Christmas in Leipzig, this year we’ll travel to an England of days gone by.
The program will feature sacred works such as the Advent motet “Ecce Virgo Con-cipiet” by the great Wil-liam Byrd, and secular songs including the famous “Wassail Song” by Ralph Vaughan Wil-liams.
The wassail song comes from an old Eng-lish tradition of ‘was-sailing’, or singing car-ols door to door and wishing good health.
Apparently the Christmas spirit often helped the rich to be more generous, so bands of beggars and orphans used to dance their way through the snowy streets of England, offering to sing good cheer if the householder would give them a drink from his wassail bowl of hot ale or mead, or a pork pie, or let them stand for a few minutes beside the warmth of his hearth.
How far the tradi-tion of wassailing dates back is unknown, but the word wassail comes from the Anglo-Saxon toast Wæs þu hæl, meaning “be thou hale”—i.e., “be in good health”. Thus wassail-ing likely predates the Norman conquest in 1066.
In addition to the Advent motet by Byrd, the choir will perform motets by lesser-known English Renais-sance composers Adrian Batten (“Lord We Beseech Thee”) and Richard Dering (“Quem Vidistis Pas-tores”).
The bulk of the con-cert will consist of set-tings of mediaeval texts by more contemporary composers.
These include Paul Bouman’s treatment of the 15th century carol, “A Babe is Born”, a setting by Joseph Wil-cox Jenkins of two old British carols – “Bal-liol and Boar’s Head Carols”, and the tra-ditional “Make We Merry” arranged by Karl Kroeger.
More familiar texts include settings of “Master in This Hall”, The Sussex Carol, and “While Shepherds
Watched their Flocks”, the last sung in a traditional York-shire melody arranged by Arthur Warrell.
In addition, the choir will perform 18th and 19th century works including “Deus Tu Convertens” by HenrySmart, “Jesus Christ, The Apple Tree” set by Elizabeth Poston, and three verses of “Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day” each by a different arranger.
The Concert will conclude with “Wassail Song”, three secular songs for the season culminating in the last of a set of 5 English Folks Songs arranged by Ralph Vaughan Wil-liams in 1913.
Come a-wassailing on Nov. 29 at 2:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Church, 1962 Murray Road. Tickets $15 at the door, with youth 15 and under free.
