Walking the SpitWhiffin Spit is one of the busiest places in Sooke on a nice day. Located at the end of Whiffin Spit Road, the breakwater extends into the mouth of the Sooke Harbour and helps to protect the inner basin. A leisurely stroll will take you 1.1 kilometres to the lighthouse at the end. The seaside trail offers hikers grand views of Sooke and the open waters of Juan de Fuca Strait, framed within the Olympic Mountains of Washington State. Whiffin Spit was named after a clerk on the Herald, a British naval ship that surveyed the area in 1846. In 1855 the Muir family started a sawmill there and ships would navigate the channel around Whiffin Spit to pick up lumber. The official name Whiffin Spit is now spelled with an “i” rather than in someplaces with an “e”.

A brief recap of some of the items on the agenda of the June 23 District of Sooke regu-lar council meeting.

Public Input and Information

• Council unani-mously voted in favour of issuing a Develop-ment Variance Permit and a Development Per-mit to 6669 Horne Road (Harbourside Cohous-ing). The applicants are looking to build 32 multi-family dwellings on the .8 hectare prop-erty. The development will have one 13-unit three-story apartment building, three one-story duplexes, three two-story duplexes and one secondary suite in the common house. The low rise apart-ment and duplexes are designed to provide an attractive transition to higher density and respect the views to the harbour.

Bylaws• Council adopted

Bylaw 590, Sooke Town Centre Revitalization Amendment. The bylaw is to amend Bylaw 408 for the purpose of per-mitting Built Green© buildings and construc-tion types that would, in addition to LEED©, be eligible for property value tax exemptions, reduced building fees and reduced DCCs.

• Council adopted Bylaw 591, to amend the fees for launching a

boat and parking at the District of Sooke Pub-lic Boat Launch facil-ity. Council will allow the operator to collect $10 fees for launching which includes parking. Sooke residents can purchase a 12-month boat launch permit for $60, the cost for non-residents is $120. Park-ing in the boat launch sites will be $2 hourly, if no boat is launched, and $10 for 24-hours. Council will re-visit the contract with the oper-ator at the end of one year.

• Bylaw 598, OCP Amendment Bylaw - Town Centre Design Guidelines

Council gave first and second reading to Bylaw 598. A public hearing will be held.

The bylaw will strengthen the policy statements regarding a “West Coast” theme for the town centre and rewrite Development Permit Area for the town centre to include more guidelines around architectural details,

storefront design and building materials. Staff is also presenting a draft illustrative design handbook which can be given to potential developers. While this would be a voluntary, Mayor Wendal Milne and Councillor Maja Tait felt there should be some mandatory aspects as well. Council will look into incentive programs for both new builds and renovations to existing buildings.

Reports• Council granted

funding of $1,000 to the Sooke Region Historical Society for their Water Flow Line project.

• Council gave a Site Specific Floodplain Exemption to property at 2896 Sooke River Road.

• Council autho-rized a municipal loan authorization and elec-toral approval process for long-term borrow-ing for the proposed Sooke Community Centre. Staff will con-tinue to work with the Sooke Region CHI to

determine a location and preliminary design plans.

Councillor Herb Hal-dane said the district should be looking at existing buildings and renovating them.

“I really don’t think we can afford a seniors’ centre and get value out of it,” said Haldane.

He said the district could work with the Legion and turn that building into a Taj Mahal.

Coun. Bev Berger agreed with Haldane’s sentiments in looking at what we already have in Sooke.

• Council adopted a Tribute Bench Policy for municipal park and trails and a conceptual design of the memorial/tribute area on Whiffin Spit.

The next District of Sooke council meeting takes place on July 14.

There is nothing worse than having something stolen, espe-cially something you need — like your bike.

Andrew Lee moved to Sooke about eight months ago and works at Little Vienna Bery. While he was work-

ing the night shift his bicycle was stolen right along West Coast Road. Now he has to walk one hour each way to get to work.

Lee put up post-ers but with not much information coming for-ward about his stolen bike, he decided to go online.

“Facebook is big

now,” he said, “and you might get that extra person not looking at the poster but seeing it online.”

He thinks it will help band the community together because the majority of crimes

are solved by eye wit-nesses.

The bike is a 2009 Gary Fisher HiFi Deluxe GZ size 17.5 inches with 26” tires. It is metallic black with white and pink lettering. Lee said this is the only bike like

this in Sooke.A reward is being

offered for its return which is more than the bike could be sold for.

No questions asked if it is returned.

He thinks the site will be useful for a lot of

things, like a child’s lost toy, lost pets, a missing person in Sooke or the surrounding areas.

Lee, so far, is really liking living in Sooke. He has a heavy metal band called Vampiric Dawn and he also goes by the stage name of Vaarg Morgue. To visit the Sooke Community Lost and Found link go to:

The official ground-breaking ceremony took place in East Sooke, formally begin-ning the construction phase for the new fire-hall.

According to George May, chair of the East Sooke Fire Commis-sion, the project is on time and within bud-get. The structure will be a steel building, and will serve as a “post-disaster” building for the residents of East Sooke should a major

earthquake or tsunami occur.

“The design of the new firehall is based on the East Sooke Fire Dept. operational requirements,” wrote May in an email. “The requirement for a replacement fire-hall was realized over 15 years ago. The Fire-Trustees/Fire Commis-sioners over the years have worked hard to make this a reality.”

May expressed appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. David Broad-bent for “providing a suitable land parcel at an affordable cost,”

enabling the project to move forward, and to CRD director Mike Hicks for providing “funds for the exten-sion of the water line to the new firehall site.”

Some of the pav-ing of the driveway have been postponed, allowing the project to come in on budget. This new building will meet the fire underwrit-ers’ requirement on the space requirements for the fire trucks, thereby preventing a big jump in house insurance rates for East Sooke residents.

Logging with the Boyd sky line

Driving out West Coast Road just past the turnoff for Kemp Lake Road, if you were back in the mid-1930s and looked out to sea, this interesting sky line rigging would have met your eyes. The steam-powered Boyd mill was established farther west, at the far end of Blueberry Flats, off into a side road which was actually once the his-toric “tan bark” trail.

The cut was milled and then hauled by truck to this open area, part of the old Joe Poirier farm, where the stacks of milled lumber were set at the water’s edge. Upper, a slack

cable skyline ran to a steam donkey out of camera view. Beneath it, one can see the line rigged from the spar pole out to a “tail hold” on the little off-shore rock/island.

Note a loading device on the sky line which picked up the sling loads and carried them, governed by blocks, out to where a dolphin had been driven off-shore, where a scow would be waiting near the wharf for loading. Douglas fir pilings are also seen here, awaiting transport to Vancouver for creosoting.

The loaded scow would be towed by

tugboat to markets in Victoria or Vancouver or local sales. Some of the lumber went in to the building of the Sooke Community Hall in 1937. In 1938 the tow-boat JWP skippered by Arthur MacFarlane towed some of the Douglas fir to Port Ren-frew for Malahat Log-ging to use in the con-struction of the Bear Creek Trestle.

Standing 235 feet above the creek, the trestle was considered the highest wooden structure in the world, and Howard Elder used to assure us that the Douglas fir was, pound for pound, stronger

than steel.Velma (Cook) Jes-

siman has lived near this scene all her life and recalls as a young-ster watching the Boyd operations. The Boyd Lumber Com-pany camp had a cook-house, commissary, bunkhouses, cottages, and employed up to 60 men. It all came to an end, though. Mill fires are fairly common occurrences and that’s what happened here – just before World War II, the mill burned to the ground.

Looking BackA look back through the Sooke

News Mirror archives:

July 8, 2009Unscripted thrills punctuate pyro-

technic showFirst of all, no injuries were caused

by the Canada Day fireworks at the Sooke Flats.

The show, however, proved more exciting than usual as a couple of rounds misfired, causing some anx-ious moments among the audience and firefighters on hand.

“A couple of fireworks got loaded upside down in the tubes,” reported Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen the following morning. “They shot down instead of up. When that happened, then it kicked over and the fireworks came out sideways and the sparks ignited other fireworks.”

Sorensen, who was in charge of the procedure, said there were some new people taking part in executing the display, but that greater caution would be used in the future.

“We’ll be more careful next time … now we know.”

July 7, 2004Sooke River second crossing

being discussedOn July 1, Sooke Coun. Lorna Barry

found herself waiting for a while near the Sooke River Bridge while emer-gency personnel cleaned up a two-vehicle crash.

The crash, in front of the Sooke River Hotel, occurred when a west-bound vehicle slowed to turn into the business and was rear-ended by another vehicle. Both vehicles suf-

fered extensive damage, and the driver of the first vehicle was taken to Victoria General Hospital for treat-ment.

The accident is just one example why another crossing of the Sooke River is needed, Barry said.

“We have to have another route.”It is not on the forefront, but it is

definitely something we have to look at,” Sooke Mayor Janet Evans said.

Discussions on a second crossing are very much in the preliminary stage.

July 7, 1999Bible crusader rescued off

Bonilla PointA man who police say was intended

to sail his makeshift 45-foot boat to Russia to distribute 200 Bibles ran into trouble off Bonilla Point Satur-day.

The man, identified by police as Jeff Bauchmand and believed to be enroute from Tofino to Russia, had to be rescued by Canada Coast Guard after he experienced troubles with the rudder aboard his vessel Winged Queen.

When the coast guard officials first encountered the man on June 21 off Tofino they were of the opinion that he lacked maritime experience and put himself in danger. However, the man maintained he was fine but was just heading in the wrong direction.

The man was later reported over-due on June 28 by a Steveston resi-dent. On July 3 he was towed to Bamfield, and is believed to still be moored there.

Barriers are no deterrent for Jacob BirdBritt SantowskiSooke News Mirror

Jacob Bird, a 15-year-old Grade 10 student at Edward Milne com-munity school (EMCS), recently found out he would be receiving up to $38,000 through the CIBC Youthvision Scholarship Program. The award was pre-sented to Jacob at the Westshore CIBC loca-tion on June 25.

What makes this award exceptionally special is that Jacob is also diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Dis-order, and is in the Lifeskills program at EMCS. According to the school’s program guide, “Lifeskills is a holistic program for students possessing developmental and/or intellectual chal-lenges.” Courses are tai-lored to the individual needs of each student. In 2013, Jacob received the Junior Lifeskills Achievement Award at the EMCS Awards Cer-emony last June.

Applying for consid-eration for the scholar-ship was not an easy process. Jacob’s grand-mother and legal guard-ian, Marilyn Smith, hit several roadblocks when she was initially informed (locally) that because Jacob was not an “B+” or an “A” aver-age grade student, that his application would in all likelihood be rejected.

“There was extreme hesitance on all sides that this is even a pos-sibility that could hap-pen,” she said. “And rightfully so,” she con-tinued, “How many Lifeskills students have you met that have won

a scholarship?”But Marilyn refused

to let any barriers deter her. Jacob learns at a different rate, and as his guardian, Marilyn could see his potential.

“Our attitude was, if you don’t try, you don’t get it.”

So Marilyn persisted and eventually found people who would sup-port Jacob’s applica-tion. Champions who added their voice to his application included his supporters from Big Brothers Big Sisters. “We put (the applica-tion) in with a really hopeful attitude,” she said.

Jacob received a lot of support from his teachers over the years.

“Grania Bridal was his middle school teacher at Journey and Jeannie Kwan from Happy Valley elemen-tary school was his

EA that inspired his interest in cooking,” reported Marilyn.

Jacob’s interest in food preparation reaches into the com-munity too, where he has been volunteering at the Rainbow Kitchen in Esquimalt for the past two years, a Victo-ria kitchen that serves meals to the poor and marginalized.

The letter of recom-mendation from Culi-nary Arts teacher, Mr. Steve Caryk, might have cinched the appli-cation, where Jacob’s skills were held in high estimation.

Marilyn gathered the information, including the references, and sub-mitted the application without expectation. “All they can do is say no,” she said.

When the call came that Jacob will indeed receive the scholar-ship, Julie Lafontaine, a

friend of the family who works with Jacob, was there along with Mari-lyn and Jacob. Marilyn recounted that their jaws dropped, though Jacob stated his did not.

According to Julie Lafontaine, Jacob is planning to use the funds for Professional Cook Training at Camo-sun College. Marilyn said Jacob is most happy in the kitchen and comfortable with all aspects, from prep work to cooking to cleaning up.

The scholarship is available to Grade 10 students who have been through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, a youth men-toring charity that helps kids in primarily single adult families.

As a part of the pro-gram, the youth are also given an internship with the YMCA. Jacob’s

strengths would allow him to perform quite well as a custodian, said Marilyn. He prefers to be more in the back-ground.

Rhonda Brown, exec-utive director with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria, said the schol-arship integrates finan-cial support, an intern-ship and a continued mentoring relationship that boosts the likeli-hood of success in uni-versity.

“It’s hope for these kids, and it’s just an incredible opportunity. It allows them to pur-sue a career where oth-erwise they may not have been able,” Brown said.

Mentors not only play a big role in the development of Little Brothers, but they’re also fundamental in kids being chosen for scholarships, she said.

“The mentor has to write about their expe-rience with the child and why they think their Little Brother or Sister deserves to have this opportunity to reach their goals,” Brown said. “I can’t say enough about the strength of those rela-tionships.”

Marilyn’s final piece of advice was to never give up on a dream.

“Just because they’re in Lifeskills, don’t give up on the ideas that you have for them,” insisted Marilyn. “Believe in your kid.” Just because one door closes on you, it does not mean there are not others you can try. There are. Try them until you find the one that opens.

Last Thursday eve-ning, Transition Sooke and Awareness Film Night hosted a public forum to discuss the recent Harper Govern-ment decision to pro-ceed with the Enbridge pipeline through B.C.

Guest panelists included David Ander-son (former Minister of the Environment), Andrew Moore (T’Sou-ke Nation), Maya Tait (District of Sooke), Kai Nagata and Terry Dance-Bennink (Dog-wood Initiative).

The Dogwood Initia-tive is launching a Let B.C. Vote campaign, which seeks to oppose the federal govern-ment’s decision by rig-ging an “HST-style pro-vincial referendum.”

To do this, the Initia-tive must collect signa-tures from 10 per cent of all eligible voters, from each riding in B.C.

The forum, which was attended by about 100 people, provided information, sought volunteers, and out-lined the initiative.

Anderson said the economics were ques-tionable, saying it costs anywhere from $60 to $115 dollars to produce a barrel of tar sands oil, where as Iraq oil costs, at most, $5 a barrel to produce. He also sug-gested that “corporate culture” was the driv-ing factor behind the pipeline project and its approval.

“Analysis done was inadequate,” he summed up.

Tait spoke to the direct impact that increased tanker travel would have to the resi-dents of Sooke, given our extensive coast-line. Tait failed to see how the risk of ruin-ing the coastline so that the one per cent could grow their wealth would benefit the resi-dents of Sooke. Her view reiterated an ear-lier view expressed by Wendal Milne, who in a 2012 letter to Peter Kent, the then-Min-ister of the Environ-ment, wrote “Until you embark on a process of meaningful consul-tation we are opposed to any increased oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Juan de Fuca.”

Andrew Moore spoke of viable forms of alter-native energy, as cur-rently practiced by the T-Sou-ke Nation with

their solar energy proj-ect. Moore also stated the “place to start is with our own personal responsibilities,” and that conservation is the first step after which renewable sources should be considered.

Kai Nagata addressed the importance of decentralizing power, and giving it back to the people, especially in light of the fact that two-thirds of B.C. resi-dents were opposed to the Enbridge pipeline project. He said that this citizen’s initiative can be enacted when “politicians don’t have the guts” to do the right thing.

Finally, Terry Dance-Bennink wrapped up the evening with a call to action. There was no shortage of volunteers

available to start cam-paigning for signatures in the greater Sooke region.

I would like to share some thoughts that wandered through my mind while sitting with my brother as he approached the end ofhis life’s journey. Right off the top was surprise, to feel a happiness to be able to spend this time with him, it was a very

new experience for me. We knew of course ,for quite a long time that he was terminal but it wasn’t until the day Betty & I accompanied him to see his cancer Dr. that the penny dropped. He told us quietly that he could do no more for Bill & that the best he could suggest was to go home & enjoy the � owers in such a compassionate way I could only marvel @ the beautiful gentle way he lowered the boom. He also mentioned what a good patient Bill wao;, never complaining.

Concern for others was a constant in Bills life right to the end, dieing@ 3;10 in the afternoon is about as convenient as you can get, & with both of us at his side.

What a blessing!

The Sooke Elderly Citizens’ Housing Soci-ety (SECHS) is pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2014, operations of Ayre Manor will again become the responsi-bility of SECHS. It has always been the inten-tion of SECHS to one day be able to take over the responsibility of management, and that day has finally arrived.

We take this oppor-tunity to thank Beck-ley Farm Lodge Society for their past services in support of the over-sight and administra-tion of SECHS facilities on our behalf since opening in 2008.

We are pleased to say that most of our caring, and wonderful staff, have signed on to stay with us through this transition, and we hope for years to come. Res-idents of Ayre Manor, their families and friends should notice no changes during this time, just a continua-tion of the great care

that they receive from staff, as well as excel-lent food from the kitchen. We also, can-not say enough for our team of housekeepers who keep our facility spic and span and we take this opportunity to thank them for the work they do every day and to say that since opening in 2008, our facility is one of the few that has not been hit and closed due to a major outbreak of influ-enza. Thank you to all staff members.

Ayre Manor will be under the direct care of Jan Roberson as the site Administra-tor and Andrew But-ler, of Andrew Butler & Assoc., as Business Co-ordinator. Kathy Lamb will be adding direction too in collaboration with Jan and Andrew. They have agreed to carry on with these functions while SECHS actively searches to fill those positions. We are currently taking appli-

cations for the Direc-tor of Care as well as nurses, aides, kitchen and housekeeping can-didates to ensure we maintain a full roster of staff on each shift.

We also encourage anyone interested in

volunteering or serving on the Board of Direc-tors to contact us at 250-642-1750, or visit our web site at www.ayremanor.ca .

2010 WINNER

When a community gets caught in strife

Strikes affect more people than the employers and the employees. In this case, the teachers’ strike is hurting kids and adults alike. For instance, the usual venue for performances in Sooke is the Edward Milne community theatre. Read - “community” theatre. The theatre is located in the school but it is a community facility. So when the youth choir wanted to perform their musical, the Lion King, they were locked out. When the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra wanted to perform their Solstice Spectacular they were locked out.

The children in the choir had to rehearse outside and they likely had fewer people attend because of the location. They worked hard to put this on and the extra stress locating it outdoors wasn’t fair to these youngsters or the parents.

The symphony orchestra, something Sooke is really proud of, had to present their concert in the Sooke Community Hall. Maestro Norman Nelson wasn’t too perturbed by the situation, but the seats in the EMCS theatre were much more comfortable and the place more accessible for older music lovers.

The strike situation is impacting more than the teachers, students and government, it is impacting people who just want to go to a musical performance. It is not right. The community theatre is located in a school, yes, but it is a community facility not strictly a school facility. These two groups had booked the space prior to any strike and if agreements can be broken so easily then it is no wonder the two sides are getting nowhere fast.

It’s time to get things worked out and get on with the business of teaching. There has to be some give and take and a hard line approach apparently is not working — on either side.

ANOTHER VIEW

 B.C. Views

The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered.

Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through trea-ties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?

The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

It’s not quite ownership. Fed-eral and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging per-mits in the valley in 1983. McLach-lin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the deci-sion of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely

defined aboriginal title.Here’s McLachlin’s definition:“The nature of aboriginal title is

that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”

That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities.

Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-set-ting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?

One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the hand-ful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By vol-untary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, mak-ing it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision.

One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in deci-sion was this: Is the Northern Gate-way pipeline project dead?

None of the aboriginal communi-ties along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seek-ers in the 1860s.

One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.

Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.

Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.

They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

Noise can cause stress-related illness

Kudos to Al Wick-heim and Laura Barker and the Sooke News Mirror for the front page article on the noisy early morning logging trucks barrelling down West Coast and Sooke Roads.  

Add my name to the list of folks whose sleep has been disrupted and who has staggered into work in a state of ineptitude. I don’t think we can say that there are no provincial laws regarding noise from vehicles. If I am driv-ing down the road in my car or motorcycle with no operating muf-fler I can be pulled over and given a fine and be required to repair said muffler. Or if I am screeching my tires or braking loudly (see Division 7A of the MVA) I can be fined.  

Since people operat-ing job sites and noisy businesses are not per-mitted to begin making noise before a certain sensible morning hour, it seems to me that noisy logging trucks (they actually rattle my house... like an earth-quake) could easily be subject to similar rules.  

This 3 a.m. start isn’t only disrupting the sleep of residents along the highway. The drivers of those log-ging trucks would be subject to the same stress-related illnesses

that eventually afflict anyone who continu-ally works when his or her body needs to be sleeping.

Save John Phillips Memorial Park

I cannot believe that this council is still dith-ering over the absurd proposals to use tax payer money to carve up John Phillips Memo-rial Park with a private interest group’s horse-shoe club and an off-leash dog pen. Coun-cillor Rick Kasper is eager to spend $19,000 of your dollars so that this six-member club can play horseshoes in a fenced off area (one-half acre) complete with bathrooms and a private parking lot. Are you kidding me! Give me $200 dollars and sledge hammer and I could build these guys a horseshoe pitch. Keep in mind that Rick Kasper is the same councillor who so fer-vently opposed forgiv-ing or at least delaying The Land Conservan-cy’s (TLC) debt to the municipality from their property at the Sooke Potholes in the name of fiscal responsibil-ity (as an aside, I won-der how much money is not being spent in Sooke this summer by

tourists as a result of the closure of the TLC campground at the Pot-holes?). Why is he all the sudden so eager to spend?

John Phillips Memo-rial Park is an amazing place in the heart of Sooke that everyone is currently able to enjoy. I take my dogs there almost every day and we have no problem sharing the park with the dozens of other park goers we run into while there. Sooke is not an urban metrop-olis with inadequate green space and we do not need a fenced off dog park. If there is a $100,000 fund for “park improvement” just sit-ting around, why not spend it on beautifying this area? Put in some park benches, better drainage, new trail sys-tems, lighting and at least a park sign so resi-dents know there is a public park there. Don’t carve up this incred-ible area with fencing for the sake of private interest groups like the Sooke Horseshoe Club. It just isn’t right.

I’ll end with a ques-tion for the mayor: If you couldn’t justify spending taxpayer money on a bike park for today’s youth and generations more youth to come, how can you possibly even entertain spending $19,000 on a horseshoe pitch for a six-member club?

Trevor PaulSooke

An unholy alliance

Coming off years of zero wage increases, teachers are offered a wage package that ensures their wages will continue to fall behind the cost of living for a decade - all to subsidize ill conceived tax cuts to business by disgraced former premier Gordon Campbell.

The unholy alliance between corporate power and BC Lib-eral politicians keeps the Liberals in power thanks to corporate campaign contribu-tions in return for gov-ernment generosity paid by tax dollars. Witness the reciprocal favours between our government and West-ern Forest Products, Telus, the fish farm industry and Postme-dia  to name only a few. The result is a depleted public treasury, shred-ded social programs, burdened schools, hos-pitals, seniors, handi-capped and the poor. That’s how it works in this province, govern-ment diverts money to business and busi-ness kicks back money to keep the Liberals in power.

Teacher wage goals are fair and teachers should be admired for taking a stand to pro-tect their standard of living and the quality of education in our class-rooms.

Five years of costly university with a pos-sible student loan debt of $40,000-$50,000 to start at the bottom of a 10-year ladder to get to full pay is a long 15-year apprenticeship unheard of in most occupations.

Conservative shills like Fletcher promote a race to the bot-tom economy where unionized people are scorned for wanting decent wages and ben-efits - if the private sec-tor doesn’t have it, why should unions? Fletcher needs to review his history lessons that show we would not have a middle class and the general quality of wages and benefits that Canadians enjoy were it not for the sac-rifices of unionized and non-unionized work-ers despite entrenched resistance from “Our” government and busi-ness. Historically union wages and benefits have helped private sector wages and ben-efits.

Right wing politicians are running public edu-cation into the ground here, in the U.S.A., the

U.K., Australia and else-where. If teachers can stand strong against the overwhelming odds of this corporate/politi-cal menace not only will our children bene-fit from decent schools, their efforts might help stem the tide of the politically sponsored attack on a decent stan-dard of living Canadi-ans want and deserve. Fletcher’s predictable bias does nothing to help B.C. in general and B.C. school kids in par-ticular.

Ted Roberts Sooke

Needs vs priorities

We really need to get our needs into a prior-ity.

We are told by coun-cil there is a $100,000

fund for parks. What is needed? Firstly a sign at John Phillips, indi-cating this is a park so folks know they can get out and enjoy, and a parking spot to park their cars, this is on either end.

Another need is some water, washroom and some hydro and perhaps a gazebo. This would take care of the $100,000.

There was discus-sion about folks want-ing to donate a bench in memory of loved ones, well, let it be known what the cost is, and that we would love to have their memorial bench in the park for all to enjoy.

When we have the infrastructure in, we can then advertise for festivals, events, wed-dings and more for folks to actually rent portions of the park for the day. With these monies we can put aside some more mon-ies for more infrastruc-ture, like swings, slides

and the like. Passive sports so as not to hin-der other users. Places to play catch, throw a frisbie and such. We could also ask for folks to donate shrubs and trees in memory of their loved ones.

The mayor suggested that folks could donate trees, in memory of their loved one, for the newly created Wadams Way. Mr. and Mrs. Wad-ams would have been pleased to have trees planted along here.

When we have our infrastructure in order, we can look at other opportunities as the need arises. I’m afraid that horseshoe pitches are not at the top of the list. A nice sport as it

is, first we need to get the park ready for all to enjoy. I don’t think we should lead the horse-shoe club on. I couldn’t find horseshoe pitches in Langford or Colwood and the horseshoe pitch at the flats, which was offered to the club, have been taken out as it appears that the club was not interested.

We need to look again at the park plan. There were a lot of emotions when the park plan was being made and folks did not attend the plan-ning as they were angry about the golf course fiasco. Time to go back and fix it right this time.

Sooke sibling skaters nominated for Inspirational Latin Awards 2014

Britt SantowskiSooke News Mirror

Sooke’s figure-skating sibling duo Pilar and Leonardo Maekawa can’t seem to stay away from the spotlight. They have recently been nominated for the Inspirational Latin Awards 2014 for B.C. in the sports and ath-letic achievements cat-egory. The awards will be announced on July 2. According to the carnavaldelsol.com website, “Latincouver

is hosting for the third time a regional award to recognize distin-guished members in the Latin American communities for their outstanding achieve-ments and contribu-tions to shaping BC economy and cultural developments.”

Leonardo and Pilar have had a very busy year. Earlier this year, they completed their recent competitive sea-son with the trip to the Four Continents Cham-pionships in Taipei in

January. In March they took part in the suc-cessful Aladdin on Ice show where they per-formed the principal roles.

They also got a jump start into the new 2014-2015 season with an early trip to Detroit, where they worked with Marina Zoueva

(Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir’s coach) on their choreography. They stayed there for an entire month, and in June they came back to the Victoria Racquet Club where they trained with coach Matt Willis for the month of June.

Their upcoming agenda is just as busy.

In mid-July, they will head back to Detroit where they will train until October. From there, they will com-pete in USA, Finland and Canada.

In order to fund their travel to Detroit, Pilar and Leonardo are host-ing their annual Mexi-can dinner buffet on July 5 to raise money. This year, it will be held at the Sacred Heart Par-ish Hall at 4040 Nelt-horpe Street (near MacKenzie, behind St. Andrews School). The annual buffet is their biggest fundrais-ing effort of the year, and tickets can be purchased through Shoppers Drug Mart and Kelz Bakery in Sooke.

In November, Pilar and Leo will

also compete in Mex-ico. They also qualify again for the Four con-tinents Champion-ships on January 2015 in Korea. Their main goal for this season is to qualify to the Senior Worlds in March 2015.

Bylaw No. 598, Of� cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw (400-6) The intent and purpose of Bylaw No. 598, Of� cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw (400-6) is to:

• Amend the Of� cial Community Plan to strengthen policy statements in section 5.4 regarding a “West Coast” design theme that promotes Sooke’s natural beauty, cultural and maritime history for the area designated as the Sooke Town Centre in the Of� cial Community Plan;

• Amend the Of� cial Community Plan by rewriting Section 7.4 Development Permit Area (DPA) #1 – Town Centre to include more guidelines around architectural details, color, storefront design, building materials, signage and landscaping for the purpose of ensuring that building design is sympathetic in form and character to a “West Coast” design theme, and to revitalize the Town Centre by establishing a foundation for a unique identity to set Sooke apart from other destinations.

Page 18: Sooke News Mirror, July 02, 2014

There have been a number of run-ins with doe-eyed Disney-esque darling deer — includ-ing right here in Sooke. Riding safely in their midst means knowing certain deer facts.

Pay attention to the road signs. If there is a Deer Crossing sign, it means more than just a photo opp. Slow down, and perk up.

Deer tend to come out of the woods in the transition hours, dur-ing dawn and dusk.

They travel in mul-tiples. If you see one, expect to see another nearby. Especially around this time of year when those darn pesky teen-age equivalents venture out on their own with their radi-cal road-crossing deer peers.

If it’s hot and humid and the mosquitos are nipping at your heels

(and ankles and neck), they are also bugging the deer. They (the deer) will leave the forest and seek relief in more open areas. Like roads.

While there are many emergency manoeuvres available to you, your best bet to avoid merg-ing flesh with a deer is to apply your emer-gency braking strategy. Simply put: Push and Pull. Push down with both your feet (gear down, back brake - 30 per cent braking power) and pull in with both your hands (clutch in, front brake - 70 per cent braking power). Deer evasion strategies include leaping ran-domly about. Great if a cougar is chasing them; not so great when they are trying to avoid an emergency-swerving rider.

Knowing other ani-mals behaviours can also be useful.

Cats and squirrels will both retreat on a previously-proven safe route when frightened. This means that if they are 7/8 across the road when they are star-tled by you, they will run “back” across the proven safe route. This may put them directly in your path of travel.

Your best bet is not to startle them, which you can do by slowing down and revving up.

Dogs like a dashing challenge. They will race to intersect with your ankle. An emer-gency swerve just before the point of con-tact, combined with an emergency accelera-tion (gear down, rev up), will get you out of there without a new ankle ornament.

Skunks (which we don’t have on the island) own the road. Period.

As one of my col-leagues used to teach, if you can’t eat it in one sitting, avoid it.

And if any of the emer-gency tactics described above terrify you, you might consider taking a course. We have sev-eral fine riding school in the Greater Victoria area.

It has always taken a long time for hot water to reach the faucet in my ensuite bathroom and guest bathroom - is

there anything that can be done about this?

A: Yes there certainly is! We could install a small circulating pump which would circulate hot water through the lines so that it is available at

the faucet within a couple of seconds. � ese pumps are quite e� cient, as they can be easily programmed to only come on only when you need hot water at the faucet. A good time to add in a circulating pump is during installation of the water heater as the pump is generally connected in to the piping on the top of the water heater. � at said, it is generally not di� cult to add in a� er the fact.

and has made me realize I don’t want my children having to look a� er me. Is there something I can get now so that when thetime comes I have the money to hire someone else to help with care?A:  Yes, there is Long Term Care Insurance

(LTC) but don’t let the name fool you! something as simple as a badly broken

leg can trigger a claim for bene� ts. LTC pays when the policy holder needs assistance (even if tempo-rarily) with transferring, bathing, dressing, toilet-ing, eating or becomes cognitively impaired.

One dot at a time: A soulful journeyElspeth McLean’s world of artPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

Elspeth McLean’s home is a reflection of her personality — bright, colourful and full of life. Paintings, fabrics and bits of travel mem-orabilia adorn the walls and surfaces, remind-ing one of a gypsy cara-van. The window where her work surface is overlooks the Strait of Juan de Fuca and this is where she draws her inspiration. The distant Olympic Mountains are the backdrop to the for-ests and beaches she has come to love and paint.

Born and raised in Australia, McLean brings a down under influence to her work. She paints dots, millions of them. Those dots become mandalas, land-scapes and night skies.

McLean transferred her skills from pen and ink to the more com-plex and intricate dot work she now special-izes in. Her work can be described as pixi-lated, pointillism or just plain dots. She prefers the dot description. Her work also bear a resemblance to Aus-tralian aboriginal dot

paintings,Tibetan man-dala sand paintings and Impressionism.

She loved the actual process of painting mil-lions of dots and creat-ing an image. She finds it relaxing.

“I enjoy it, it’s time consuming. I like any-thing intricate and detailed.”

A piece measuring 20X20 inches can take upward of 50 hours to complete. It’s one dot at a time.

McLean, also known as Elspeth Dobres, is married to Sooke musi-cian Adam Dobres. They met on-line and when Adam came to Australia on tour with Toni Childs they met up and the rest is history. McLean immigrated to Canada two years ago and has fallen in love

with the West Coast. She misses the warmth and her friends in Aus-tralia but she is content with her life in Canada with Adam.

Her art background includes going to a spe-cial art high school. She studied psychology and art therapy and traveled to places far and wide.

While large gallery exhibitions have eluded her, she has had market stalls and has exhibited in New Zealand. She does lots of random things to get her work out there and sells online through Face-book and Etsy, at music festivals and wherever she can. She will be at the Moss Street Paint-

In on July 20 selling her art and demonstrating her technique.

In her work she is very focused and in the moment.

“Each dot is a deci-sion, a choice, they are mindfully put there.”

She starts with an idea and then inter-prets it into her own style. She calls it a soul-ful journey.

“I have lots of dreams or from meditation and these flow through into my art works,” she said. “I’m very influenced by my surroundings.”

She loves beach combing and when she’s out there she fills her pockets full of rocks. These tumbled, smooth stones become

mandalas - little trea-sures from nature.

“Mandalas are used in art therapy,” she said. “They are a win-dow into the soul and a safe contained space.”

These days McLean is the resident artist at Shirley Delicious. Her work is selling, espe-cially the ones with trees and familiar West Coast landscapes. She said it’s inspiring to have people enjoy her work and urges her on her artistic journey.

“With my art I’m always looking for new things, always looking for the next thing.”

“Everything is Moving” for Laura SmithA new album Everything is

Moving brings new direction and opportunity for much-loved folk artist Laura Smith.

Before you read this article, do yourself real favour. If you are able and have internet, go to your computer and bring up youtube. In youtube type “My Bonny by Laura Smith” in the search window. Take a few minutes to click on and listen to the video of this per-formance. If you do so, I am convinced that you won’t want to miss the Sooke Folk

Music Society’s best concert of the season, coming up this Sunday, July 6 at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. (Please note that it IS on a Sunday evening for this occasion).

In Laura Smith’s music, real emotions ebb and flow. Your heart is in her capable hands, and likewise, she has entrusted you with hers. As she sings, her strong, melodi-ous voice waves and catches, snagging on a scar here and there, surfing on a wonder, staring down a riddle… As

you listen, the two of you go along together; brave and sur-facing; calm and inquisitive.

Smith’s music is direct and honest. Sometimes, fiddles and guitars gently lift and carry her spirited vocals, while her melodies and care-ful poetry dig deep.

“My work is all very simple, earth-based,” says the Mari-time-based singer/songwriter.

Her work is not so much written, as painstakingly designed, cut and stitched together.

“Like quilt craft,” she explains. “I make it body and soul, with everything I have available – my sensibilities, my ability to play. So many things come into the making of a song. When I say write, it limits what I bring to bear.”

Smith has already expe-rienced exhilarating career highs. Her 1994 album b’tween the earth and my soul elicited unbounded critical acclaim, enormous airplay, national

television appearances and a hungry demand for live performances. From the stages of Denmark to Newport, Rhode Island to Van-couver to the Yukon, Smith has shared the secrets of her soul, lay-ing out for rapt audi-ences her private, yet ultimately universal experiences.

Born and raised in Ontario, Smith grew up loving horses, the-atre and language. As a teenager, she found comfort in the voices of Janis Joplin, Joni Mitch-ell, Ray Charles and Paul Simon. Her pub-lic debut performance occurred at Smale’s Place, the coffee house where she worked as a waitress, when she was invited on stage to sing a song with the headlin-ing act.

Moving to Toronto in 1972, met a lighthouse keeper, and shortly after relocated to Cape Breton. The rug-ged landscape, shift-ing ocean, moon-filled nights and welcom-ing community made

her feel she had come home. “I was very fortu-nate to be let into that deep culture,” she says. Playing at ceilidhs with her lighthouse keeper (who was also a fid-dler), she blossomed in the nurturing atmo-sphere, not only with her music, but also on stage with a local the-atre group.

Thanks to support from CBC, she recorded her first, self-titled album in 1989. The stunning result ignited a blaze of radio and television appearances,

a tour and a plethora of special performances.

In 1996, she won two East Coast Music Awards (Female Artist, Album of the Year) and two Juno nominations (for Best New Solo Art-ist and Best Roots and Traditional Album). In 1995, her song Shade of Your Love was the most played AC song in Canada. In 1997, she won a Gemini Award for Best Performance in a Performing Arts Program or Series. At the request of CBC radio personality, Peter

Gzowski, who was receiving a Governor’s General Award, she per-formed My Bonny at the prestigious Ottawa cer-emony. Her heartbreak-ing adaptation of the Scottish chestnut, on b’tween the earth and my soul, had haunted the broadcast host since he first heard it. Of the evening, she recalls, “It will always stand as one of the great honours of my career.”

In 2003 and 2004 she toured major centres to great audiences and lovely reviews. Festival appearances included stops at the Canmore Folk Festival, Edmon-ton Folk Festival and Stanfest, just down the road from home in Canso, Nova Scotia.

Laura Smith’s gate is wide open, her dreams are getting out.

“I hope the Muse finds me a hospitable host,” she said recently. “I must re-learn how to make her comfortable.” Indeed, there are many stories yet to be crafted into song.

Laura Smith had to take some shore-leave

but she’s back into the stream of her song-writing life; ebbing and flowing; brave and sur-facing.

I have been a huge fan of Laura’s music ever since hearing her sing My Bonny a great many years ago. We are

incredibly lucky to have her grace our stage. As I noted in the begin-ning, you won’t want to miss taking in this hugely talented artist and her angelic voice. Opening for Laura will be Sooke’s own resi-dent troubadour, Dave

Gallant. It happens this Sun-

day (yes, Sunday) at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, 1962 Murray Road. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the con-cert starting at 8.

Summer fun at

the local library

The popular Summer Reading Club launches on Wednesday, July 2. 

The club is free and encourages kids aged 0-12 years old to keep up and even advance their reading skills while on holidays. 

We’re inviting young read-ers (and not-yet-readers) to laugh, giggle, and chuckle

their way to the library to join in all the Summer Read-ing Club fun with this year’s theme: Funny Business.

Kids can register online beginning Saturday, June 14  and continuing until Sat-urday, August 9. 

There are many free pro-grams that will be offered by the library this summer

(they are also hosting some non-Summer Reading Club programs for adults, too). 

Each summer, Vancou-ver Island Regional Library (VIRL) offers the free Sum-mer Reading Club to help children stay on top of this important skill while they are out of school. 

The Summer Reading Club

motivates kids to read by providing:

• Materials so kids can track their reading success: prizes, reading records, and stickers.

• Weekly programs based on the theme “Funny Busi-ness” to keep kids interested in returning to the library and having fun.

• Medals for all children who complete a reading record.

• Wind-up parties with a professional performer to celebrate Summer Readers’ success.

• Supportive library staff to help kids enjoy reading.

The Sooke Library is at 2065 Anna Marie Rd.
