Sooke’s new mayor addresses community at inaugural meetingMayor Maja Tait’s
Inaugural address: “Good evening and
welcome to the inau-gural meeting of the new District of Sooke council. It’s wonder-ful to have you all join us here tonight to sup-port us as we com-mence this new term for Sooke. We acknowl-edge and thank all the previous councillors
that have served for joining us here tonight. Let us begin this term by formally recognizing the traditional territory of the T’Souke Nation, upon which we gather, live and do business.
“A sincere thank you to outgoing mayor Wen-dal Milne for his service and commitment to our community throughout his term, as well as out-
going councillor Herb Haldane for his time and dedication for the last two terms.
“This year’s elec-tion saw just over 40 per cent turnout at the polls, which speaks to the passion and engage-ment that our residents have for our local gov-ernment. This passion and commitment is shared by those that
campaigned for office, as well as our dedicated district employees and community organiza-tions.
“I would like to thank all of the candidates that campaigned in the past election, and let’s take a moment to congratu-late those that were suc-cessfully elected.
“Every member of council brings their
individual perspective, talents and expertise to the table. Collec-tively we will bring our experience, fresh ideas and collaborative spirit forward to success-fully achieve goals and objectives for the bet-terment of our commu-nity over the next four years and beyond.
“Where the rainforest meets the sea, Sooke is
a strong, caring com-munity with a unique history and a bright future. As we continue to grow and evolve, we will be faced with both challenges and oppor-tunities. We will meet these head on with a spirit of openness and inclusivity.
“During the elec-tion, there was a strong desire to:
• Actualize our vision of a vibrant town cen-tre and economic revi-talization;
• For our residents to be healthy and active, with access to our hills and harbour, with side-walks, trails and path-ways;
• To promote our tourism potential and

Counter Attack launched
The B.C. govern-ment, police and ICBC have launched the December CounterAt-tack campaign to urge drivers to plan ahead for a safe ride home if
their holiday festivities involve alcohol.
While attitudes toward drinking and driving have changed considerably over the years, an average of 86 lives are still lost every year in B.C.
“Getting home safely should be part of every-one’s holiday plan-ning but the reality is that impaired driving remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.,” said Todd Stone,
Minister of Transpor-tation and Infrastruc-ture. “Do your part this Christmas season and look out for family and friends – take a stand and don’t let them get behind the wheel impaired.”
Take your turn as the designated driver, call a taxi, take transit or use Operation Red Nose.
ICBC’s helping to pre-vent impaired driving this December through a month-long educa-
tion campaign, funding for CounterAttack road-checks and promotion of designated drivers with businesses, sports facilities and commu-nity groups.
ICBC also supports Operation Red Nose, a volunteer service in 25 B.C. communities that provides safe rides to drivers who have been drinking or feel too tired to drive during the holidays.
It will cost you approx. $4,500 for an impaired driving con-viction.
This and ThaTCounter Attack begins

Mayor’s Inaugural address
for Sooke to be a rec-ognized leader as the South Island destina-tion for outdoor recre-ation, culture and arts;
• To encourage local food security and com-munity resilience;
• And to support our protective/emergency services and volun-teers.
“Our ballot questions received strong sup-port for community facilities and a commit-ment by council to sup-port gathering places for our seniors, youth and volunteer organiza-tions. The work under-way will be encouraged and supported, and council looks forward to receiving recommen-dations and realizing the outcomes.
“A commitment to environmental steward-ship is another priority. Our rugged coastlines, harbour and basin are strong assets to both promote and protect for residents and visi-tors alike to enjoy both today and for genera-tions to come.
“Re-election of coun-cillors tells us you have confidence in the deci-sions we have made. A sustainable financial plan is in place, along with a commitment to infrastructure improve-ments, as well as citizen involvement on com-mittees and panels to name a few. We intend to review the commit-tee structure as well as the various council liai-sons and appointments to find ways to stream-line district business while enhancing com-munity engagement through improved com-munication. To ensure that both council and staff time and energy is utilized in the most effective way possible, we continue to modern-ize our meeting agen-das with web-casting, technology and will
explore other means of engagement through web-based tools and social media.
“Council will be meet-ing in the New Year to set priorities and objectives for the term ahead, in the meantime staff has been tasked with summarizing proj-ects, tasks and files so that council may have a snapshot of the busi-ness of the day. This will enable us to wrap up old business, sup-port what is ongoing and in place, and pre-pare for and set achiev-able new priorities.
“I look forward to council forming a strong, working relation-ship with Chief Gordon Planes and the Council of the T’Souke Nation as well as Juan De Fuca Regional Director Mike Hicks. To further our relationships with our local service associa-tions, volunteer organi-zations and community partners that together make Sooke the wonder-ful community we are proud to call home.
“Success can be achieved through the relationships that we form and by engaging the enthusiasm and tal-ent of all that live here, from the seasoned old timer, and the innova-tive new arrival. By seeking out the wis-dom of our elders and obtaining fresh ideas from our children. By being mindful of those most vulnerable while
promoting the talents and celebrating the excellence of other community leaders.
“In closing, I would like to thank the com-munity for placing their confidence in this coun-cil to lead Sooke over the next four years. While our work will be difficult at times, with support from our staff and community part-ners, we embrace this responsibility with con-fidence. We will rise to the challenge and celebrate our mile-stones along the way. The future is bright for Sooke, I feel supported and encouraged by council and as we end 2014 with the holiday season, I feel 2015 is off to a strong start. I look forward to the weeks and months to come.
Thank you all for being here with us this evening.”

What should we do tonight?Instead of X-Box and Playstation, get your kids to try some of the
new games we now carry.Whether the game is one of chance or strategy, it improves
communication, teaches vital social skills, encourages decision making, and can be just entertaining and fun.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of board games is the time spent together. Make sure all the cell phones are off, put on some music and start perfecting your fist-pumps, trash talking, and victory dances.
We have games for all age groups. Here are some games we carry... Catan (my favorite), things in a Box, Picture Charades, scavenger Hunt, Quelf and Buzz Word.

What a romantic story, growing up on her family’s prairie horse ranch in Sas-katchewan, meeting a cowboy from a neigh-bouring ranch at a dance, and marrying him! It’s the stuff nov-els are made of. Merle Stedwell was born in Iowa on December 23, 1900. When she was four-years-old, her fam-ily moved to Canada, taking up a homestead. Their first shelter was a sod hut.
Merle grew up on horseback, learning ranching chores and responsibility early in life. Social get-togeth-ers were much looked forward to in those pio-neer days and it was at a dance that she met Dewey Barwis, the ranch hand who won her heart.
Now that the news has hit the media that Canada’s oldest citi-zen has passed on, just a month short of her 114th birthday, we can look back on the half century that she was a part of the fabric of the Sooke commu-nity. At first Merle and Dewey Barwis moved about the prairies, rais-ing three children as Dewey, who got a job as stationmaster with the CPR, was posted from town to town.
Meanwhile their eldest son Dewey I. C. (called Dick) joined the Royal Canadian Navy, serving through-out World War II. He married Helene Hal-laday and the young couple purchased land in Sooke. They raised sons Richard and Terry as he fulfilled his naval commitments. Among his postings were Corn-wallis and Churchill, Manitoba, where the growing boys needed to look out for polar bears. After retiring as a CPO First Class, Dick became a counsellor at the Veterans’ Hospi-tal in Victoria, the boys went to local Sooke schools and welcomed a baby sister Levina into the family.
Lured by tales of the mild west coast cli-mate, Merle and Dewey moved to the coast as well, settling alongside their son and his family on Harbourview Road in 1952. I first met Merle Barwis when I was delivering eggs door to door in the 1960s, and always had a pleas-ant chat with her each week.
Alone after her hus-
band passed away in 1966, Merle lived qui-etly, but was a wel-coming presence for her grandchildren, as they would run across the lawn to visit her in her little cottage by the road. Later on, her
great-grandchildren as well would keep up a lively connection to her.
Merle was a very independent and self-sufficient lady, very straight-spoken. She did her own yard
chores even into her 90s, and while a good cup of coffee was her mainstay she enjoyed a refreshing bottle of beer as well. It was only in the last decade or so that she needed to move into care at St. Mary’s Priory.
Her grandsons recall how pleased she was when it was deter-mined, in 2012, that she was the oldest living Canadian. Besides her daughter and family in Saskatchewan, she is survived in Sooke by her daughter-in-law Helene, grandsons Richard and Terry and their families, and granddaughter Levina. Her family is rightfully proud of their illustri-ous forebear.
Who could have fore-seen that the young girl who rode horse-back across the prairie in the moonlight with her suitor so long ago, would be recognized in 2014 as a woman of such distinction!

Four Sooke and Shirley businesses recognized
The 2015 Small Busi-ness BC Awards opened for nominations on October 1, 2014 attract-ing more than 407 Brit-ish Columbia-based small businesses who have been nominated so far.
Among the nomi-nees are four local businesses in Sooke and Shirley: The Candy Pit, nominated for Pre-mier’s People’s Choice, Shirley Delicious, nomi-nated for Best Commu-nity Impact and Pre-mier’s People’s Choice, Point No Point Resort, nominated for Best Community Impact, and Your Perfect Gift, nominated for Pre-mier’s People’s Choice.
Sponsored by the Government of Brit-ish Columbia, the Pre-mier’s People’s Choice Award celebrates B.C.’s amazing entrepreneurs by recognizing a small business that is the heart of their commu-nity. The Best Com-munity Impact Award, sponsored by Vancity, goes to the company that’s truly making a difference in their com-munity.

The awards acknowledge the con-tribution that over
400,000 small business owners and entrepre-neurs in our province make to their local communities and the global economy. After all, 98 per cent of busi-nesses in BC are small businesses, and Van-couver Island is home to about 70,300 of them.

Sooke branch #88 became a charter mem-ber of the B.C. Old Age Pensioners & Seniors Organization in 1964. The main goal of those first dedicated mem-bers was to create affordable seniors hous-ing and provide a voice for senior`s issues. A housing society was formed and the commu-nity worked together and raised enough funds to buy land in 1969, near the town cen-ter. Gradually they were able to build small cot-tages. The work contin-ued by volunteers for 40 years and the long ago dream was finally real-ized when Ayre Manor Lodge opened the first phase in 2006.
In the beginning Sooke OAPO branch meetings were held in member`s living rooms, then at the community hall. In the early 2000’s the Seniors’ Drop In Center was opened in the centre of Sooke by then President Doro-thy Burris and volun-teers. This provided a social gathering place for seniors five days a week, with lunches, teas, games, work-shops and events. It was a welcoming place
for new people to Sooke and the building was used by youth in the evening. The build-ing was sold and much has been lost.
Through the years many of the same vol-unteers started Contact Cupboard, Meals on Wheels, purchased the Seniors’ bus and pro-vided many services to the community.
The latest project for the Sooke branch 88 members was the Orange Bottle Program which provides infor-mation to first respond-ers called to a home for an emergency.
The Sooke branch
celebrated the 50th Anniversary in May, with an event at the Legion and held the final meeting on Novem-ber 18. It has not been possible to find a Presi-dent and Secretary to continue on. The loyal members are now very elderly but without a permanent venue it is difficult to attract younger members. The branch can no longer function. The Seniors Bus is having the same problem and is in need of a manager to carry on the service.
The B.C. O.A.P.O aka B.C. Pensioners & Seniors Org. advocate
to governments with resolutions which are issues of importance to whole communities, as well as seniors.
The provincial O.A.P.O is grateful to Sooke for 50 years of support for the many issues in housing, health care, environ-ment and degradation of services.
We encourage the younger generations to share their knowledge, energy and wisdom by continuing the valuable work as volunteers in this special community.

Food. It’s an integral part of our lives, our culture and our com-munity. Food nour-ishes our bodies, pow-ers our mind, and lifts our spirits. Food marks our special occasions and is part of our daily chores. We spend so much time and energy growing, sourcing, pre-paring and sharing food, it’s worthwhile to be engaged in how that food comes to our plates. Increasingly, we have become discon-nected from food as it is turned into a commod-ity, shipped around the world, and contorted in laboratories. As the only species to add heat to our raw ingre-dients, are we losing our humanity, when we lose track of our food production?
Slow Food seeks to reconnect us with our food. To educate, empower and energize us to get involved with our local food commu-nities. Every two years in Turin, Italy, small-scale food producers, chefs, scientists and activists from around the world gather to discuss, share, debate, taste, educate and cel-ebrate the foods that make us human. These are ingredients, which represent culture and heritage, but also a truly sustainable future that includes biodi-versity, environmen-tal stewardship, and respect of aboriginal knowledge.
My husband Oliver and I were fortunate to attend Terra Madre this year with other del-egates from Slow Food Canada and over 150 other countries. The opening ceremonies were translated into 12 languages. Many peo-ple were visibly moved to see the delegates from war-torn coun-tries like Syria, Iraq and Iran stand together. Fishermen from Israel and Palestine, as col-leagues not enemies. Farmers from Russia and the Ukraine, in soli-darity not strife. Food communities cross boarders effortlessly. Slow Food brings us together for a common goal, to create a good, clean and fair food sys-tem for everyone, and it will take everyone to accomplish this.
Much of our time was spent in the Slow Fish meeting room. There was simultane-ous translation so we could follow the stories
of fishermen from six continents! The threats to these fishermen are the same ones our Canadian fishermen are facing. A loss of ter-ritory to privatization, ocean grabbing, pollu-tion from fish farms (let Chile be a stark warn-ing to the salmon farms in B.C.), quotas and licenses soaked up by international corpora-tions. The wild foods of our oceans, lakes and rivers are the resource of the common people and should not be sold without our consent. We would all do better to listen to the experi-ence of our First Nations and fishing families that have multi-generational experience as stewards of these wild resources, and know how to truly make a sustainable future for our fisheries. On Vancouver Island, we enjoy the most incredible bounty and diversity of seafoods, a year-round growing season, an incredible boreal forest providing wild foods and huge amount of arable land that is being underuti-lised. It’s time to make the most of these natu-ral resources.
At Terra Madre, we were reminded of the power of a simple action. Founder of Slow Food, Carlo Petrini, told us, “Tending a gar-den is a political act.” Plant a seed, shop at a farm, share a meal, join a food-centric group, learn a new recipe, visit a winery, there are so many ways to nurture the relationship to your local food community without even leaving Sooke.
The traceability of our food will be the most powerful ingredi-
ent in this recipe for a sustainable food future.
Slow Food celebrates International Terra Madre Day on Decem-ber 10 at the Hudson Marketplace in Victo-ria. For event informa-
tion, please visit: www.slowisland.ca

Councils, darkness and drinking
On Monday night the new District of Sooke council was sworn in. It was a lovely ceremony full of promise and hope. There are enough returning councillors to adequately ensure the history of decisions and the ongoing work is understood by council. Enough new councillors to bring a new voice to the council table.
With every new council we have hope, this one is no different. It will be a good council and a strong committed working relationship will get the district’s work done. A fresh perspective and new start will do wonders for council and staff alike. Staff are the paid professionals who carry out the work dictated by council. It’s a symbiotic relationship, each part as necessary as the other.
We wish this new council well and are confident the citizens’ best interests are at the heart of all decisions. Congratulations to all who won a seat and thanks for all who ran a good race. It’s is hoped that those who ran will continue to contribute to council meetings even though they are not sitting in council seats.
The darker mornings and nights are upon us for only the next three-and-a-half weeks then the light begins to return - although very slowly. Please let yourself be seen at night. The light is swallowed up on the coast and people wearing black are very hard to see. Be safe and be seen.
The RCMP have begun their Counter Attack program and that means if you are convicted of drinking and driving you will eligible for a very huge fine, confiscation of your driver’s licence, inconvenience, and a criminal record. It will cost you a lot and it is not worth it. Would you pay more than $500 per drink? It’s no way to celebrate the holidays. Designate a driver, take a cab, call a friend or stay put... pretty simple.
ANOTHER VIEW
B.C. Views
It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settle-ment with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory.
My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a par-allel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership sys-tem that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world.
The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week.
The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-man-aged provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose indus-trial property tax on liquefied natu-ral gas production. Legal documents were signed so the Nisga’a legisla-ture can do the same this week.
In recent years, the Nisga’a dis-posed of concern about collec-tive land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a paral-
lel state – that’s what it is, so get used to it.
The Nisga’a have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t intend to stop there.
“We want to be part of the Cana-dian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation president Joe Gosnell.
The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t consulted, it’s a desecration of vic-tims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say well-rehearsed young men with video cameras running.
Nisga’a President Mitchell Ste-vens has patiently and repeatedly explained that Nisga’a legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that it received the required two-thirds majority support.
Gosnell, the revered chief negotia-tor who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed
genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour.
Gosnell recounted the 1887 pad-dling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to pres-ent the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minis-ter Wilfrid Laurier to promise a set-tlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature.
In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on imple-menting self-government.
And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a.
“That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.”

Few chose to vote
So another BC Municipal Elections autumn has come and gone, and despite eye witness descriptions of long line-ups at the polls, on average barely 40 per cent of those eli-gible chose to partici-pate.
Canadian disillusion-ment with non-propor-tionally representative democracy, managed by four political par-ties and their Leaders/CEO’s, an increasing non-choice between “Tweedledum” and “Tweedledee”, candi-dates and politicians who more often than not are seeking a job for life or a step up on the career ladder, are clearly making the electorate wonder why they should bother.
That, and the realiza-tion that U.S. President Obama’s “Yes, We Can!” is really “Uh, Actually, No, We Can’t” gives one pause. Our two local television/news chan-nels didn’t even pro-vide election night cov-erage, choosing instead not to interrupt their (mostly American) pro-gramming.
Before the new Republican-majority Congress takes power in January, the U.S. Senate voted against the Keystone XL Pipe-line, meaning President Obama doesn’t actually have to make his views completely known by vetoing it.
Sharmini Peries, Executive Producer of The Real News Net-work, published an
interview with two journalist activists about the pipelines, Cherri Foytlin and Steve Horn. This infor-mation IMO is impor-tant for everyone in Canada who is against the tar sands and the pipelines, thank you for allowing me to share it, and I hope you will think long and hard about it and pass it on:

Unfortunately, we have just begun to fight.

U.S. is protecting our backs
A problem with let-ters to editors is that facts are omitted to keep them short.
Rachel Lewis should answer many ques-tions, such as when she lived in Port Ange-les versus when the alleged “metal fusion” plant began operating, how she can be so pre-cise about the number of “black ops” helicop-ters that “buzzed” her in darkness, and what the concerns in Port Townsend are. (Refer-
ence your November 26, 2014 issue.)
Checking the Internet I find Port Townsend’s concern is not the radar signals Lewis rails against, but sound from operation of EA-18G aircraft replacing EA-6 aircraft on nearby Whidbey Island.
Some opponents confuse “electromag-netic radiation” such as from cellular phones and radars with nuclear radiation – fundamen-tally different risks. And about signal strength, which dimin-ishes rapidly with dis-tance. News media say the exercises involve aircraft finding trucks transmitting signals,
and the only concern is people approaching the trucks hiding in forests (warning tape will be placed around them).
Of course there may be U.S. Navy aircraft passing along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, given their major bases on Whidbey Island. And the things she can’t see - missile-carrying sub-marines, moving to and from the well-known base at Bangor Wash-ington.
Lewis should wake up to the reality that the U.S. military is improv-ing training to protect her back, much more than the small though very good Canadian forces – who by the way sail their seriously armed ships past Sooke from the navy base in Esquimalt (some of them submarines), and fly anti-submarine war-fare helicopters from Victoria International airport to and from the Canadian frigates that carry them.
Oh, the potentials for paranoia.

We asked: Do you volunteer? What value do you see in volunteering?
Yes, I have volunteered at SAFARS cat shelter. It helped
me feel more connected to the community and got me a job in
Langford.
A.J. EdwardsSooke
Volunteering is a way of life. It is how we help each other out. And that’s what this community is all about. New members of Sooke, please become active members of this community by volunteer-
ing.
Martha MooreSooke
Yes I do. Volunteering is a great way to know people, building
strong relaltionships and giving back to the community while
having fun.
Trina TitusSooke
Yes I do. It’s very rewarding and I get to help people in need.

Improving accessibility to services
Sooke Family Resource Society (SFRS) has received designation as a BC Early Years Centre for Sooke/Westshore, sup-porting our communi-ties from Port Renfrew to the Highlands.
As a result of the recent announcement by the BC Office of the Early Years, and as part of the BC Early Years Strategy implementa-tion, a network of Early Years Centres through-out the province have now been launched. The BC Early Years Strategy is an eight-year government com-mitment to improve the accessibility, affordabil-ity, and quality of early years programs and services for families with young children.
The Sooke/Wests-hore centre is one of 12 centres currently identified across the province. The main Early Years Centre site is located at the SFRS site at the Sooke Child, Youth, and Family Cen-tre at 6672 Wadams Way in Sooke with its satellite location at the SFRS site at the Wests-hore Child, Youth, and
Family Centre at 345 Wale Road in Colwood.
The centres build upon a foundation of pre-existing SFRS Early Years services ranging from prenatal services to services for families
with children up to age 6. These services include: Prenatal Edu-cation and Outreach, Kingfisher Preschool, Family Resource Pro-gram Drop-in Play-groups, Family Sup-
port Outreach and Groups, Outreach at SD62 Strong Start sites, Pacheedaht Nation Family Group, and Child Care Resource and Referral.
The centre will pro-
vide an enhanced focus on bringing increased awareness of current services and commu-nity supports to fami-lies. Through access to a new dedicated Early Years resource and
referral phone line and the development of a comprehensive web-based resource, par-ents can easily access information that is rel-evant to their families.
To access Early Years
resource and referral information, phone the Early Years Coordina-tor and Navigator at 250-217-9243 or visit our website at www.sfrs.ca/early-years-cen-tre.html.

December 2, 1969Douglas queries pos-
sible oil pollutionTommy Douglas,
leader of the NDP and MP for Nanaimo-Cowichan- Is lands , attempted last week to have the issue of poten-tial oil pollution aris-ing from the proposed exploratory debated in the House of Com-mons.
His motion for the debate arose, he said, “out of the fact that the government of British Columbia has granted seismic testing per-mits for drilling in the coastal areas of B.C., in particular Georgia Strait.
“The people in those areas are fearful that they will be subjected to the same kind of oil pollution which has been experienced by people living in the coastal areas of Califor-nia. If the seismic tests prove to be favourable the oil companies will be applying to the fed-eral government for oil drilling permits.”
December 5, 1979Spring salmon mak-
ing a comeback in
Sooke RiverSpring salmon are
making a comeback in the Sooke River. Last year they seemed to be facing extinction, with only six of them seen, but this year fisheries officer John Stephen estimates a run of 50.
This year’s return of DeMamiel Creek coho are also good and fish-eries officer Denis Bur-nip credits this in part to the Sooke Conserva-tion Society’s salmon enhancement program.
In general, however, Stephen describes Sooke area runs over the last few years as “depressed, nothing to what they were in the past.”
December 6, 1989Blue boxes coming
to Sooke this weekThe Blue box col-
lection for recyclable materials in Sooke was officially inaugurated on Saturday.
The ceremony, origi-nally scheduled to take place in front of the Evergreen Shop-ping Centre, had to be moved inside to the Community Hall because of heavy rain.
December 1, 1999New Milnes Landing
store expected to rise from ashes of former building
A new Milnes Land-ing Store is expected to rise from the ashes of the former landmark building destroyed by a fire last July.
Property owner Den-nis Tottenham has received approval from the Capital Regional District to build a new convenience store on the property next to Fred Milne Park.
Money from fire insurance will cover the cost to rebuild the store which will take on
the same configuration as the previous build-ing.
However, Tottenham said he won’t be oper-ating the new store.
“It’ll go to the person who buys it.”
Tottenham said he had tempting offers by franchises like Tim Hor-tons, for the property, but he decided not to go that route.
“I didn’t want that. It wouldn’t reflect the community. It would be a corporation. You’ve got to look after history,” he said.
December 2, 2009Preservation groups
alarmed by clear cut
The Muir Creek Pro-tection Society is one component of a joint media event held last Monday at the Best Western Hotel in Victo-ria.
The publicity effort was held in concert with the Wilderness Committee and the Sierra Club of B.C. and the main point made was the urgent nature of establishing regional park status for the Muir Creek Watershed.
The area is said to be home to “the most magnificent stand of old-growth forest on private land near Victo-ria and the CRD.”

Daniel ChauvinSooke News Mirror
Moving undetected in the forest is an ancient art that humans ‘once-upon-a-t ime’ practiced daily. The for-est has ears and eyes which call upon our senses that have atro-phied in modern ways of life. However, one game that children still universally play, when they get out-of-doors, is Hide-and-Go-Seek. In the era before cell-phones and big-screen TVs, the kids in neigh-bourhoods across the country would be out late at night, after din-ner, practising the art of stillness and stalking, often ignoring the calls from mom to get inside and brush the teeth and get ready for bed.
At the Sunriver Com-munity Garden, Dan-iela Roze from Thriv-ing Roots Wilderness School presented a program for young children to draw them away from their tiny screen-blinders and back into wide-angle vision. Re-attuning their sensing bodies into what comes to children spontaneously — play-ful hiding and seeking, blending seamlessly into the forest. While the senses of the aver-age child may be dulled by video games and overloaded with ‘self-ies’, underneath the veneer of this virtual landscape, is a puls-ing and articulate sur-round sound of natural forms that children, and adults, somehow remember behind it all. This is obvious the moment Roze asks the children to scout about the garden in search of plants that they think may be edible. The chil-dren were thrilled with this initial exercise in testing what they could gather in the three minute period allotted them. The infectious enthusiasm of some of the more skilled kids rubbed off on the new-bies and the learning experience was group driven. After having identified several edi-
bles, the group reas-sembled and discussed their findings.
The next exercise was to hide on the edge of the forest, within a very short span of a long 10-count and become ‘invisible’. With not much time to hide, the children scat-tered quickly, testing their ability to remain still and unseen. Their efforts were impres-sive as they were not so easily detected even within a short distance. Of course, some of the more colourful clothes gave some of them away, but the point of exercise helped high-light the loudness of one’s visual as well as auditory signature.
The ninjas of feudal Japan were experts on the art of invisibility
for purposes of spy-ing and survival. Cam-ouflaging with foliage, appearing as a motion-less rock, hiding under water plants were vari-ous techniques that they employed. Not to
be outdone, this mirth-ful group explored the local woods and learned what it means to be ‘wild ninjas’. According to Roze this means being custodi-ans of nature and taking
care of each other. After singing songs, each child received a ‘nature name’. The group then learned about naviga-tion through an exer-cise of being blind-folded and taken to a secret location. Having to find their way back they were encouraged to use all their senses while blindfolded. Lis-tening to the river, feeling the sunshine on their faces, notic-ing the direction of the wind, feeling the sensa-tion on their shoes in the changing landscape (mud!) all helped dial in the senses to the
surrounding forest. In working as a team the children were able to find their way back to their starting point.
Closing off the day, the kids gathered to make a bow-drill fire and shared stories about the day. The joy and animated expres-sions were written on the young faces of these wild-ninjas-in-the-making. All in all, a fun-filled and educational day in Sooke’s beautiful river-side woods.
Daniela Roze’s Thriving Roots School draws from nature as a medium for deep-
ening connections to self, community, and the earth. By guiding students in learning ancestral skills and wil-derness survival, she hopes to foster a rela-tionship with the natu-ral world, build com-munity, and support students in becoming their brightest selves.
She offers immer-sive nature programs for adults and custom programs as well. Her website can be found at: http://www.thrivin-groots.org/youth-pro-grams/

Sports & RecreationTis’ the Season!
Sooke Thunderbirds and Blue Lightning braved the cold for the Christmas Parade. The crisp weather didn’t stop these spirited players from cheering on the arrival of the Chrismas season.
Star of the WeekAbe Lamontagne started playing hockey at five. He played one year of basketball in elementary school but really started to shine when he rejoined in grade 10 and has played for the last few years. He currently plays for Kerry Park Islanders Junior B and EMCS Wolverines. He is a strong rebounder who flourishes in the fast break offence. His dream is to play NCAA college hockey and to get into college basketball as well.

SSC got their Christ-mas spirit kick started with the Christmas Parade on Sunday! Approximately 12 teams participated, making SSC the big-gest group in the parade two years in a row!
Shout out to the U10 girls, their parents, and Colleen Lembcke for organizing the cre-ation of our first ever float in the Christ-mas parade! Thanks to Jason and Hillary
Childs for the use of their truck and trailer. Big thanks to all the players and parents with their blue and white jingaling bling! Way to represent!
Christmas trees arrive this Friday and will be on sale Satur-days 9-6 p.m. Sundays- 10-6pm, Mon-Friday 4-7 p.m. at the Fred Milne club house. All proceeds go towards field improvements.

The U16 boys played a LISA Cup Game on Sat-urday despite the snow and field closure. Pen-insula Soccer Club was kind enough to offer us one of their fields.
Our Sooke boys played Peninsula’s U15 boys. Although Penin-
sula fought hard Sooke won the game 5-0 with goals from Chris Berke-ley, Tie Boake and Mat-thew Miller.
Great goal tending from Rylin Wilsher and Bobby Nex. Way to go Shredders!

Helping Those In NeedWe continue walking and nearing the end of this long liturgical time after Pentecost. Led by the Spirit of God, we got here because we want to enjoy the bene� ts of the Kingdom of God, when we persevere in grace.On Sunday (November 9) the message of the Gospel
urged us to stay awake: “Watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” (Matthew 25:13).Then Matthew’s Gospel, (November 16) exhorts us not to fear the risk, but to use our talents and all of our abilities in our community to grow the Kingdom of God. Our Sooke community is using those talents by working for those in need. At Holy Trinity Church we have the Vital Vittles program –which celebrate its 11 anniversary on November 21, 2014 – where every Friday we provide lunch for people in need. This program exists thanks to people from the Sooke community who donate food and in occasion some economic recourse. Another important factor is the group of volunteers whom every Friday set up tables and prepares the food to be served at 11:30 am. The Holy Trinity community gives to the community of Sooke and I would like to thank all of our volunteers for running this program. In today’s Matthew Gospel (Nov. 23), Jesus states “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me” In reference to those who help others without waiting for compensation. “‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be � lled.”(Matthew 5:6).

The wheel in the sky goes round...
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, expect to be called into action sev-eral times this week. You may prefer to avoid the spotlight, but that won’t be the case this week. Make the most of this opportunity.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, all of a sud-den you are so busy it can be difficult to find a few moments to rest. Thankfully, you are able to keep up with all of the activity.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, seek advice from a trusted confi-dante as you contem-plate a major lifestyle change. This person will provide valuable
insight as you look to make the best decision possible.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, going solo on a project may not seem like the ideal situation. But you don’t want to be distracted this week, so going it alone is the best way to tackle the tasks at hand.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, following your
gut may not always work out, but this week everything works out for the best. Curb impulsiveness as much as you can, though.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, although you might be dreaming of a lavish vacation and an escape from the daily grind, it’s just not pos-sible at this time. Start saving for this dream excursion.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, although it’s noble to offer assis-tance to everyone you meet, you may be
struggling to take care of yourself in the pro-cess. You must put your needs first.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
A desire to detach from others and be entirely self-sufficient can have some chal-lenges, Scorpio. You don’t need to give up independence to have the support of others.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, your energy levels are high and there is nothing you can’t accomplish this week. Avoid extra caffeine because you’re already buzzing.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Find a balance between caution and carelessness, Capri-corn. You cannot con-trol every situation, and this week you may have something unex-pected come your way.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, if you’re on the lookout for new
work opportunities, look no further than your own supervisor for guidance. He or she may be your biggest ally.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
You have boundless creativity, Pisces, and this week you get to channel it into a spe-cial project. Don’t over-extend yourself until everything gets done.

Arts & EntertainmentMusic students present a Winter ConcertPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror
Music in the s c h o o l s is coming
together through the hard work of music teachers and the Sooke community.
Laurel Parliament’s dream came true this year when she became the full-time music teacher in Sooke. Music is her life and she said, “My goal is to have all my elementary stu-dents singing, reading and writing music.”
She teaches elemen-tary music at Saseenos and John Muir and is conducting the EMCS Concert Band in prepa-ration for a concert on December 4. She was too busy in rehearsal to talk and responded to questions via email
There are 17 stu-dents in the band from Grades 9-12 with two Grade 8 students from Journey joining in for the Winter Concert.
Parliament said students from EMCS can join the band at any time and they get credit towards gradu-ation with dual credit
courses, one for con-cert band and one for stage and performance.
“All the extra time students will put in this year means that they will earn eight credits - well deserved,” she said.
The students are practicing in the band room at EMCS for the upcoming concert. Some students though cannot join because they don’t have an instrument.
“Our goal is to have an instrument bank (with one of each instru-ment) so that any stu-dent can have access to band, whether their family owns an instru-ment or not.”
Grants have been applied for and they are accepting donations of gently used concert band instruments.
“A recent generous donation from a com-munity member has given us a boost in our much neglected per-cussion equipment,” said Parliament. “He put new heads on the drum kit, acquired a ride cymbal and stand, and also donated equipment like shakers
and maracas.”The program for the
Winter Concert which takes place on Thurs-day, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. at the EMCS Theatre is a mixture of small ensemble music, con-cert band classics and solos. Parliament said some of the unique pieces include a mod-ern saxophone ensem-ble arrangement of the Huron Carole, a re-arrangement of Eye of the Tiger with solos by Matthew Miller on clar-inet, Oliver Tonessen (drum kit) and Brianne Barton (percussion) and a composition for clarinet entitled Dasher and Dancer-Reindeer Ramble.
Solos will be by Mat-thew Miller on clarinet and Bryn Martin on flute. International stu-dent Marcos Lobato Scharfhausen will be featured in saxophone. Master of ceremonies is Nona Robertson.
Admission is by donation, which will go towards purchasing sheet music and musi-cal instruments.
Mark your calendar for another concert.
On Thursday, Decem-
ber 18, students from K-5 at Saseenos elemen-tary school will be per-forming at the annual Saseenos Elementary Winter Concert at 6:30 p.m.
The students have been rehearsing and the concert will be full of fun contemporary pieces and traditional carols. Admission will be by donation with proceeds going to the music program. An item for the food bank would be much appreciated.
There’s a lot more in the works for the musically-minded stu-dents in Sooke. All four elementary schools will get together to share music with the Sooke Community Choir in March. EMCS and Journey middle school bands are going to the Vancouver Island Concert Band Festival in April and on Music Monday during May the elementary school will be caroling around Sooke. Plus added performances in the spring.
“It’s going to be a great year of music in Sooke,” said Parlia-ment.
Artisans gather together for native arts and crafts fairPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror
The T’Sou-ke Arts Group (TAG)has been bringing back traditional First Nation art for at least the last six years.
Once a week they meet at the band office on the T’Sou-ke reserve and learn from each other the ancient and not so ancient ways of creating art. On Decem-ber 6, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. the group, along with other artists, will be holding their annual Christ-mas Arts and Crafts Show in the old Catholic church on Lazzar and Sooke Road, now informally called the “Lazzar building.”
One of the special guests at the sale will be Victoria’s third Poet Laureate. Janet Marie Rog-ers enters her final year as poetry ambassador to the city. Rogers will have books of her poetry at the sale.
“There are quite a few return-ees,” said Bristol of the line up of artists and crafts people taking part. “Of course Doug LaFortune will be there - he missed last year.”
Other people of note who will be at the sale are T’Sou-ke Nation’s own Darlene George and Charlene George. Jamie Gentry who makes upcycled children’s clothing, as
well as quilts, cards and recycled leather baby moccasins will take part. Her focus is on comfort as well as being gentle on the Earth.
Denise and Chrissy from the Ladybug Greenhouse and Gar-den will be there with a variety of canned foods. There will be carvings, drums, weaving, knitting as well as cards and art all from First Nation aboriginal and Métis artists.
There will also be a loonie/toonie fundraiser which will go towards T’Sou-ke families for Christmas.
The youth centre will be run-ning the concession with funds to go towards attending a youth con-ference.

First Nations art and craft will be featured at the TAG Christmas sale on December 6 at the Lazzar building (Former St. Rose of Lima Catholic church) on Sooke Road. Pictures are vendors from the 2010 TAG show.

Film night celebrates 10 yearsThought provoking films
In 1994 good friends Kathy and Jo, upon the recommendation of Kathy’s 19-year-old son, watched the film Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media. After the long and mind-expanding evening, Kathy turned to Jo and said, “every-one should see this film!”
And so, Awareness Video Night was born, screening monthly documentary films “on topics normally dis-regarded by the main-stream media.” In the early days, finding topi-cal, presentable films to meet this criteria was not so easy and atten-dance was sporadic. Then, in 2005, as VHS gave way to DVDs, and with the advent of doc-umentaries as feature films (think: Michael Moore), the video night moved from the staff room at the Edward Milne community school into the theatre and became Awareness Film Night.
On December 10 there will be a 20th birthday celebration for Awareness Film Night featuring cake, tea and a re-screening of the film Manufacturing Con-sent, still relevant and still being referred to by Chomsky, who will be 86 on December 7 and is still as sharp as a box of tacks.
This award-winning film, by Mark Achbar (The Corporation) and Peter Wintonick is a film about the media and
it’s methods of, well, manufacturing consent, which is a concise (and polite) way of saying “manipulating the pub-lic to all think the same way.” About every-thing; political agendas to consumer choices to what is possible and what is not. Chomsky, a world-renown linguist, intellectual and politi-cal activist, has no trep-idations about going against that status quo in lectures, discussions and media encounters
such as those included in this film, includ-ing his famous debate with uber-arrogant pundit William F. Buck-ley Jr. and his visit to Malaspina College in Nanaimo. The film is three hours long, so only one part of it will be screened. After the film maybe moviegoers can take a few minutes to collectively reflect if we are more aware than we were in 1994.
As usual, the film night will be held in the EMCS theatre from 7-9 p.m. Admission is by donation.
The Awareness Film Night film library, fea-turing over 100 of the documentaries screened over the past 20 years, includ-ing Manufacturing Con-sent, should be moved into its new location by the end of November. Many thanks to Bryan Davis of the (late, great) Video to Go for con-verting the bulk of the old VHS films onto DVD and to Karen Stones of A Sea of Bloom on Otter Point Rd. for providing the library with a new home.
Festival of TreesThe Festival of Trees transforms SEAPARC Leisure Complex into lush for-
ests of beautifully decorated trees to raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital. As sponsors of this event, local businesses, organizations and individuals have the honour of decorating the trees in a unique, exciting and always beautiful fashion. The trees are displayed over the holiday season, beginning in late November with kick-off decorating events through to early January.
Congratulations to last year’s People’s Choice Award Winner: Sooke Mon-tessori.
Consider becoming a tree sponsor this year. Please contact Elizabeth Olsen, at 250-213-6716 or by email at [email protected] if you would like us to send you a package or for more information.
The trees will remain up from December 2, 2014 - January 4, 2015 at the SEAPARC Leisure Complex - 2168 Phillips Road.

Toys for Kids ready to go
Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror
There was a day when the peo-ple of Sooke
would donate their gen-tly used toys, fix them up and present them to children at Christmas.
These days, due to health regulations con-cerns, that no longer happens.
Instead, the Sooke Harbourside Lions will be working with Santa’s Anonymous to collect toys for kids in Sooke. How it will work
is that those who wish to donate can purchase a “bear” which has a child’s name and age on it and they can shop for that child. There will be a “wish” on the “bear” and the person can then shop specifi-cally for that child and
drop it off in the drop box.
“We asked this year to take all of the Sooke kids,” said Deb Schenk, Toys for Kids organizer, from the Harbourside Lions. “This way the children are getting what they want.”
The Sooke Harbour-side Lions will be at Shoppers Drug Mart for two weekends accept-ing donations and giv-ing out “bears.”
“We’re starting with 100 bears from Santa’s Anonymous.”
Schenk said people can donate money, if they wish, and the Lions will do the shop-ping for the gifts. Last year, she said, 200 fami-lies were helped and 362 kids. Santa’s Anony-mous spends about $80 per child.
Santa’s Anonymous is working with the Sooke Harbourside Lions to ensure that each child will get a gift.
The Harbourside Lions will be at Shop-pers Drug Mart on Fri-day, Saturday and Sun-day, November 28, 29, 30 and December 5, 6 and 7.
