Tour de Rock

Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock made a quick trip through Sooke last Wednesday to the delight of many. Students, left, at Saseenos Elementary School greeted the team as it rode by waving. The Tour de Rock came to an end Friday, the total raised for the Canadian Cancer Society hitting $1.13 million by the time the 21 riders finished their 1,100-kilometre Vancouver Island journey at Centennial Square in Victoria.

Sooke RCMP is adding to its complement of police officers.

District of Sooke council has formally requested a change in its RCMP contract with the Justice Ministry, which will see one officer added by next fall.

The local RCMP detachment currently has 15 members. Eleven of those officers are funded by district taxpayers, the remaining four, or rural officers, are paid by the province.

It costs $165,000 to fully fund an RCMP position. Sooke pays 70 per cent of that cost, or $114,200. The remaining 30 per cent is funded by the province.

The Sooke RCMP detachment serves an area from Sooke to Port Renfrew, extending as far as Port Renfrew (82 kilometres west of Sooke).

Sooke operates closer to minimum than other detachments on the Island, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur, adding Sidney with a comparable population has 32 officers.

Over the last 18 months the Sooke detachment has been operating at full strength, or even above normal strength, due to staff movement.

In the quiet woods of Otter Point, a special meeting was taking place – nothing out of the ordinary – but one which could have significant ramifications on the local environment.

It was the annual general meeting of the Juan de Fuca Land Trust Society, an organization dedicated to preserving specific parts of the local rainforest, notably the Muir Creek watershed, west of Sooke.

“All these lands are so much in flux and at risk,” said Margot Swinburson, one of the organization’s founding members and current president, in regards to this year’s significant change of pace in terms of rural development and environmental impact.

She pointed out that one of her biggest concerns in the Otter Point area is that there aren’t any usable parks for the community.

“If we don’t apply pressure and have any active groups, then we won’t have anything,” she said. “We’re trying to stake that hold into creating space for us to be able to leave a legacy for our children.”

While much of the Muir Creek expanse is owned by Timber West, the area also includes a public beach. The watershed extends up to 120 kilometres.

If you have any information on these individuals or their crimes, you are asked to call the RCMP at 250-642-5241 or anonymously through Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at victoriacrimestoppers.com.

Briefly

A 29-year-old man faces numerous charges following his capture last week in Sooke.

Derek Ernest Fast evaded police in a high-speed chase between Sooke and Langford on Sept. 25, police say.

Fast attempted to hit officers with a stolen vehicle on Finlayson Arm Road near Falcon Heights Road in Langford, crashing a short distance away. One suspect was arrested at the crash site. Fast fled on foot.

Fast faces charges of assault with a weapon, possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property (over $5,000), dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and theft of a motor vehicle.

He made his first court appearance last week.

Fire Dept. calls increase by 72%

Sooke Fire and

Rescue has seen a record amount of emergency calls this year.

As of Sept. 30, the fire department received 724 calls, which is a 72 per cent increase compared to the same time last year, when 519 calls were answered.

While no exact reason is known, Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen said most calls have been structure fires, appliance fires, hazardous conditions and motor vehicle accidents.

Adding to the influx of calls, firefighters also responded to a significant number of fuel spills this year, along with smoke alarms, medical calls and burning complaints. Sorensen noted that the number of people calling in noticing smoke has also gone up by 95 per cent.

It’s not all grim, however, as bush fires went down

significantly, thanks to the rain in September. As a result, the amount of bush fire cases dropped from 40 last year, down to 12 this year.

“We’re just getting busier all around,” Sorensen said. “It’s not any one thing, a bit of everything.”

Firefighters mark special week

In an average week, eight Canadians die as a result of fire, and highest percentage of people continue to die

in their own homes during a fire.

Pretty sobering statistics, as Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen puts it, but it doesn’t have to be this way, which is why for this year’s Fire Prevention Week, focus will be on smoke alarms and their potential role in saving lives.

A good lesson to be heard, considering smoke alarms still don’t seem to be taken seriously, noted Sorensen.

“When we respond to fires in Sooke, 70

per cent of the homes we go to, the smoke alarm is either missing or doesn’t work,” he said.

Sooke firefighters will visit all elementary schools making their fire safety presentation “You Hear the Beep or You Sleep” which explains how a smoke alarm works and why it’s important to have. The fire team will be visiting John Muir Elementary and Saseenos Elementary this Thursday and Friday at 9 a.m.

Landowner wants to subdivide property

Sooke District council has given the first three readings to a bylaw that will see a portion of property located at 6431 Sooke Rd. subdivided to create a new parcel of land with a minimum lot size of 3,767 square feet.

The property contains an existing house and small shed.

Carol Brown, the applicant, is proposing to create one additional lot that will have frontage along Sooke Road.

The property currently shares an access point onto Sooke Road with a neighbouring property. The new lot will also share the access point.

The rezoning is consistent with District of Sooke’s official community plan.

Municipal council in Christmas spirit

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

District of Sooke council will spend up to $10,000 to buy Christmas and lighting decorations for town centre.

The decorations will include items for 12 streetlight standards.

Mayor Maya Tait also instructed municipal staff to look at a Christmas tree costs for the centre of the Brownsey Boulevard roundabout in a way to bring Christmas cheer into the new road project.

District updates tax exemption bylaw

District of Sooke council did some housekeeping last week with the update of its permissive tax exemption bylaw.

The bylaw adds exemptions for The Hope Centre at 6750 West Coast Road and amends a section for a mobile home registration owned by Sooke Community Association.

Council Briefs Love in a shoeboxOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Something as simple as a pair of warm gloves, a soft scarf and even a pair of earrings and some lipstick may seem trivial, but to a woman who’s lost everything and has been reduced to living on cold winter streets – it’s the world.

This was the idea behind the launch of the Vancouver Island Shoebox Project in 2011, which provides women in shelters with special items that otherwise they couldn’t afford.

But a shoebox is much more than that – it’s to make someone feel human and like a woman, again.

“This [shoebox] was something special these women couldn’t buy themselves, and that it would make them feel loved,” said Linda Ferguson, coordinator of the shoebox project on the Island, who added that every holiday season these groups of women in need and in transition seem to fall through the cracks of shelter programs.

Items can be something that feels good and can provide relative warmth and comfort for the winter, such as mitts, scarves, hats, socks, as well as more feminine items such as perfume, nail polish, earrings, lipstick and lip gloss. Items in past shoeboxes also had bus passes, gift cards to coffee and food shops – basically anything a woman who lives in a shelter can use.

Ferguson suggested other items, such as nail care kits or other sharp utensils should be avoided however – alcohol-based mouthwash, too.

Prepping a shoebox is simple, though the lid has to be wrapped separately in order to fit tightly and keep it from spilling open during storage and distribution. Each box is then individually checked by the administrators of each shelter to ensure its contents are safe and are tailored to each individual.

This is the third year Ferguson will run the program on the Island. Before, she was involved in a similar project in Vancouver, as a Sooke resident, she felt there wasn’t one here on the Island and decided to do something about it.

Last year, 624 shoeboxes were collected and distributed via 13 shelters on the Lower Island, from Sooke to Sidney. The goal this year is to have 1,000 boxes.

Twenty shelters will also be coming onboard, and around 30 drop off locations will be available across the region. Shoppers Drug Mart and Pacific Family Services in Sooke are drop-off locations.

While successful, Ferguson said the project’s biggest challenge so far has been available storage space, though this year multiple people have donated some storage units and space in their garages.

For a more complete list of items, as well as how you create a shoebox contribution, please go online to shoeboxproject.com.

In the past the RCMP commander has called in Mounties on overtime, including from other detachments, as well as reserve constables to keep sufficient staffing levels.

The new police officer position to the detachment still will not give Sooke 24/7 coverage in Sooke.

McArthur said coverage is always available, as officers are on call, but it could mean in the early morning hours a response to a call may take longer.

“In the [Capital Regional District] we’re the only community without 24/7 coverage. It makes us a little more vulnerable to property crime,” he said.

Mayor Maja Tait said the detachment continues to adapt to the needs of the community and responds as needed.

Const. Reg Williams died while on patrol in Sooke in 1964


Sooke RCMP want to create a memorial of “significant recognition” for a local Mountie who died in the line of duty more than 50 years ago.

Const. Reg Williams, 21, was stationed at the Sooke Detachment following his graduation from the RCMP Depot Training Academy in Saskatchewan in 1964.

Originally from Portage La Prairie, Man., Williams had served only 15 days in Sooke at the time of his death.

At approximately 10 p.m.

on Dec. 19, he was on routine patrol when his police car slid off the end of the government wharf in icy conditions, into the frigid waters below.

Williams was unable to free himself from the vehicle, and drowned before help could arrive.

Last December, Sooke RCMP marked the 50th anniversary with the unveiling of a small memorial plaque at the local detachment.

Now local Mounties hope District of Sooke council will erect a larger memorial.

“[We would like] to see something that could be seen by the entire community as his death was in service to the community,” said Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur.

“His death wasn’t as grandiose as some police officers or firefighters deaths, but he was still on patrol doing

his job here and died rather unceremoniously and very tragically.”

District council referred the request to municipal staff for a report on possible locations.

TRUST: Admiral’s Forest land unique site

One of the areas in question is the Admiral’s Forest, as the land trust calls it, named after Admiral John Charles, who, before he died in 2010, had owned around 55 hectares of land, half of which was owned by his son.

The area, located at Otter Point, features numerous and unique trails through wild bush, however the property is now privately-owned, cutting

off any public access. The JDF Land Trust Society

almost bought the property, but were just short of the needed deadline.

This year, one of the main goals for the group is to help recover some Muir Creek land back from its current owner Timber West.

To get the word out and bring the idea of recovering green space back into public view, up to $2,500 was donated by a benefactor last month.

The funds will go towards

the Capital Regional District Parks Committee, with hopes that it will apply it to the Muir area.

“The area has been extensively logged, so we need to grow pieces of it back and to build an area for recreation and for habitat preservation,” Swinburson said, adding that the Muir Creek area includes an endangered species as well, which, if no action is taken, could very well risk becoming extinct.

As a teenager, Al Beddows never thought he’d be one of those people who gave back to a community and change someone’s life for the better.

“I was voted most likely to be in a penitentiary,” chuckled Beddows, who now serves as council chair for Lions International Multiple District 19.

He said a few “life lessons” throughout his youth helped him see a much bigger picture than just becoming a cool juvenile.

“People taught me different lessons and it’s really amazing when you give and expect nothing back in return. The feelings you get from that, you just can’t buy,” Beddows said.

For Beddows, 67, his Lions adventure began 25 years ago when a friend recommended him to the local Lions club. It wasn’t until later when he offered to help his neighbour, a long-distance runner, go to Japan on an ultra-marathon to represent Canada that he found

out how Lions help.She needed $500 to

get a sponsor, and had to raise $5,000. When Beddows brought it up to the Lions meeting, the outcome was more surprising than he’d thought.

“An older Lions member stood up and said, ‘she’s a Sooke girl, we will pay the whole thing’ and it just struck me. I thought, wow, maybe I’m the right place and the right community,” Beddows

said.But the spirit of

giving was instilled in Beddows long before he even joined the Lions. When he was a kid, he noticed the Kinsmen in his town handing out free food as part of a picnic in the park.

“It made an impression on me then that these people would go out of their way to do something this good for the community,” he said.

“Giving away free food, I couldn’t believe people would just do that. It was inspiring.”

Originally from Ontario, Beddows grew up in Chemainus, then attended a vocational school in Vancouver. It was a this point where he felt his life was going in the right direction.

“I got out of that small town where I was one of the ‘Beddows Boys’ which had a bad connotation, then I went to school in Vancouver and I was just one of the guys. No history, everybody just got along,” he said.

After getting hired to work with the Canadian Pacific Telecommunications, and later with the federal government, Beddows said he got a pretty good feel for working with the right people, a skill set that still comes handy to this day.

After all, Sooke is a perfect place to apply such an ability, especially when you’re in charge of managing not one, but three Lions clubs, which, even in itself, is pretty unique for a small town that usually has

one Lions club of 30 members or so.

In Sooke, between two Lions clubs that are strictly women (including Lionesses) and one that is strictly men, there are well over 100 members.

And mind you, there’s no shortage of people in need, either, so that’s actually a good thing, noted Beddows.

“We’d get something from a Sooke person to the club, like someone’s in trouble, or a kid has cancer, and we are always there to help,” he said. “That stuck with me and that’s been the driving force of why I like the Lions club.”

Apartment plan hits a snag over parkingDeveloper sought variance on development permit to reduce parkingKevin LairdSooke News Mirror

A developer’s plan to build a multi-unit apartment building has been temporarily parked by District of Sooke council.

After more than a one-hour debate, the development at 6523 and 6527 Sooke Rd. was sent back to municipal staff to further discuss

the parking plan for the building with the developer.

Harbour View Centre applied for a development permit to construct a four-storey building with 38 residential units and one commercial unit. The two properties will be consolidated prior to development.

The developer also sought a development variance permit which

would see parking stalls reduced from 1.5 per unit to one, set back from Lanark and Dover roads to 1.5 metres, from three, and decreased limits for commercial space.

The tenor of citizen comments prompted council to re-look at the plan in the hopes the developer could come up with more parking space to alleviate concerns from neighbourhood residents.

“I’m kind of sitting on the fence of this one because I want to see that property cleaned up,” said Mayor Maja Tait.

“I also don’t want to rush into something that upsets the neighbourhood and causes other problems.”

Harbour View Centre spokesman Ian Laing said having 1.5 parking spots for the 38-unit apartment is unnecessary.

Laing, who has managed apartment complexes for more than 18 years, said most residents of apartments don’t have a vehicle.

“I really believe the 39 parking units (if you include the commercial parking space) is more than enough. I’ll bet there will be a couple of vacant parking stalls. The odds of getting 39 tenants with 39 vehicles is slim to none.”

Each apartment will be 480 square feet with more bike parking provided. The apartment is also walking distance to town centre and close to a bus route.

Councillors did see a need for more affordable housing in Sooke. The apartments will be rented from $650 to $800 a month.

The concern from council though was the density and the lack of parking in the area.

“I’m not sure 39 parking spaces is enough,” said Coun. Kevin Pearson, a sentiment echoed by others councillors.

Added Tait: “We need to find a balance of what fits into the existing neighbourhood.”

Municipal staff is expected to have a report ready on the plan later this month.

They Said It

Our View

Rick Mercer’s Talking to Americans special once asked our neighbours to the south to condemn our government’s practice of setting our seniors adrift on ice flows.

A glance around any Canadian community would confirm we don’t do that.

If we did, we wouldn’t have hit this year’s tipping point: there are now more Canadians over 65 than under 15, for the first time ever.

This will no doubt spark some concerned articles about our aging population, and even the possibility of

“demographic collapse,” as though we were facing a childless wasteland of a future.

We suggest that Canadian seniors will actually do pretty well in the coming years.

There will be challenges, of course, but our country is wealthy, and not only do people generally want the best for their parents and grandparents, seniors are perfectly able to look after themselves.

They’re a desirable demographic, much courted by politicians, thanks to the fact that they actually vote.

No, if we’re seeing more seniors and

fewer children, we might want to be careful in the coming years not to neglect the next generation.

With a larger population retired and a smaller one replacing them in the workforce, we need to make sure that the children out there now are ready for the world they’ll inherit.

It’s impossible to know with certainty what we’ll face in the future, but the next generations will certainly face challenges.

They’ll be replacing many hands with few hands, as the number of children per family shrinks.

They’ll have to be trained to work

smart, not just hard. It’s going to be creativity, flexibility, and skill that wins out in the future.

If we can’t make sure that the next generations are able to take their place in a globalized and often ruthless world economy, then who will take care of the growing ranks of seniors? Someone’s got to do it, and it will fall to those currently in elementary school.

It’s not seniors we have to worry about

It was a cool night with snow on the ground when RCMP Const. Reg Williams was on routine patrol in Sooke.

The young constable, just 15 days out of the RCMP Depot Training Academy in Regina, Sask., approached the icy deck of Government Wharf.

Unknown to Williams, 21, he would soon find himself in the frigid waters below. Unable to free himself from the vehicle, he drowned before help could arrive.

Williams is the only member of Sooke RCMP who has died in the line of duty.

The plight of Williams was a passing note in Sooke history until the tragic death of four Mounties in Alberta in 2005.

Those deaths not only shocked the RCMP community, but our nation.

Discussions of those deaths within the community and the Sooke RCMP detachment led then-constable Donovan Tait to wonder if any Mountie had ever died in the line of duty in our community.

He soon found the story of Williams and knew his death couldn’t be in vain and began to look at how the community could commemorate his passing.

Many in the community were in support of his efforts, but it took years before he could get through the bureaucratic red tape of the RCMP.

As the years past, Tait moved on to other detachments, he’s now with the Nanaimo RCMP, but he never forgot

the plight of Williams.Last December when Mounties

realized it would be the 50th anniversary of Williams’ death, they quickly put together a small ceremony and erected a tiny memorial at the Sooke RCMP detachment.

Now local Mounties want to see a memorial of “significant recognition.”

Council Brenda Parkinson at council last week suggested a street name in Williams’ honour.

This is not quite what our Mounties have in mind.

So, here’s another suggestion.As district council looks to reinvent

town centre, why not name the roundabout in tribute to Williams?

There is nothing more high profile

than the roundabout. Better yet, make the roundabout a tribute to all of our First Responders, with Williams’ sacrifice as the centre piece.

Other communities put fountains and bright lights as their roundabout’s centre piece, Sooke can take it a step further by honouring those who put their life on the line everyday in our community.

It begs to reason every citizen and business in this community could get behind such an idea.

And the Const. Reg Williams Roundabout has a nice ring to it.

WE ASKED YOU: Do you feel Canada is secure from terrorism?

I think so. Pretty sure, at least, we don’t have terrorists in Sooke.

Sheila BeechSooke

Nope. I feel the more I see it on the news, the more unsettled I get.

Desiree MatticeSooke

Yes. I’ve been in places around the world where I really feared for my life.

Norman DolmanSooke

Yes. I travelled a lot around Canada and I always felt safe.

Readers’ letters: voting, education

Our right to votecame with sacrifice

It was good to see the attendance for the all-candidates meeting showing our interest in the future of Canada.

Our right to vote has been paid for with the lives of our troops in two world wars. They all volunteers giving their lives or health.

Flanders Fields in Holland has their names and ages on white crosses. The age on all I saw was 17. They would never enjoy high school grad, owning a home or see their children graduate from high school.

Their sacrifice can be honoured by us when we vote in elections. That freedom is what they fought for and won. Now we must do our part by being informed and voting. It is the least we can do to show our respect and appreciation for what they gave.

Martha MooreSooke

Vote withyour heart

On Oct. 19, vote for the party that best reflects your own wishes and interests.

Even the smartest “strategically thinking head” cannot predict, which party will win this election.

Opinion polls failed miserably in the most recent provincial elections in B.C., Alberta and Ontario. Let the battle between the main rivals be fought and won in the rest of Canada.

On the Island, we have a unique chance to follow our hearts and elect a candidate who really stands up against pipelines and tankers in order to protect our pristine coastal waters, where whales, orcas and salmon now thrive without being disturbed.

Vote for the only party which has a “no pipeline, no tanker policy” in its official platform and will watch out

for us in everything that is important and dear to us!

It is also the only party which needs more seats in Parliament to oppose legislation that might harm us as Canadians. The party that has a vision for a sustainable future and all the jobs that will be created while making this a better world!

In this electilon do not worry about colours, like blue, red or orange. Take the easy way out, vote with your heart, vote for the future and to protect the environment.

Gisela KumarSooke

New park for outdoor classroom

Last year, Tess Vally, principal of John Muir Elementary School and Corrine Merx, a teacher at the school, approached the District of Sooke with a request for access to a nature area near the school.

The parks and environmental services team at the district quickly identified a municipal green space of just under one hectare, off Ella Road near the school. A decision was made to create a park.

Steve McKague, a contractor for parks maintenance with the district, undertook the task with enthusiasm. He cut safe trails along lovely Ella Creek which runs through the property. He cleared an open meeting area away from the noise of West Coast Road. But Steve was not finished. He hauled, with ropes and levers, large logs into the clearing to create an outdoor classroom.

The new Ella Road Park is a magical place for the students of John Muir elementary – with hollow tree trunks covered in moss, creek banks to explore and trees that touch the sky.

It is also a great place to teach youth about the environment and to develop their literary and mathematical

skills. How old was that tree when it came down? Let’s measure its circumference and count the rings. A special activity is mindful listening: what is going on in the forest now?

The entire park creation project cost less than $500. It is a tribute to the vision of the principal and teachers at John Muir Elementary School, to the responsiveness of our district staff and to the hard work of Steve McKague.

Mark ZieglerSooke

Our country needs to come together

The primary challenge facing our country right now is the need for unity.

Is there any way that the parties can join together and work cooperatively for the benefit of all Canadians? Each party has some good ideas and some bad ideas – can we work together to implement the best policies from all the parties?

We need a government in which the MPs work for the people and not work for their party catering only to their base.

We need ethical, selfless service, not an insatiable quest for power at any cost, from all our politicians.

We need decisions based on high moral standards and sound science, not political ideologies.

It is time for cooperation, not competition; working for the common good, not seeking differentiation, contention and conflict through creating wedge issues.

We need to stop attacking and start collaborating, otherwise the rich will keep getting richer, and the poor, poorer and our great country will inevitably sink deeper into recession.

There are signs the flu season may hit B.C. early and hard and public health officials are warning they expect the flu vaccine to again be less effective than they’d like.

The most dangerous influenza type for vulnerable people is the H3N2 strain that was dominant in last year’s severe flu season.

But because of a genetic mismatch, the vaccine provided last year was useless in warding off H3N2, according to B.C. Centre for Disease Control epidemiologist Dr.

Danuta Skowronski.

That component of the vaccine was replaced on orders of the World Health Organization, but preliminary evidence suggests the new version will still not be a good match against H3N2, falling well short of the 60 to 70 per cent protection rates against other flu strains in most years.

“I believe it’s going to be better than last year – in other words I don’t think it’s

going to be zero – but by how much, I can’t say,” Skowronski said.

She said there’s good reason to hope it may be 40 to 60 per cent effective overall, adding she continues to recommend the vaccine, particularly for those more vulnerable.

“If you are a high-risk person, especially with heart and lung conditions or elderly, even if you’re looking at vaccine protection of 30, 40 or 50 per cent, you’re still better off than if you’re unvaccinated.”

Flu vaccine will be widely available by November and may be offered sooner than that in high-risk settings like residential care homes.

Epidemiologists had expected H3N2 would be less prevalent this year, with more of a mix of H1N1 and influenza B strains also in circulation, making the mismatch less of a worry.

But Skowronski noted there have already been two H3N2 outbreaks in long-term care homes in B.C.’s Vancouver Coastal health region – one in the summer and another in late September.

“To have had outbreak activity already in the summer is very unusual,” she said. “We are monitoring that closely for the possibility of an early season.”

Apart from last year, B.C. hasn’t seen flu outbreaks this early since 2009.

Last year, with H3N2 widespread and the mismatched vaccine offering no defence, there were 175 outbreaks in long-term care homes.

That was the highest number in more than a decade and twice as many outbreaks as the previous peak year of 2012.

Skowronski acknowledged the mismatch problems threaten to erode public confidence in the flu vaccine but hopes vulnerable patients are not dissuaded.

“For me, it would be a double tragedy, frankly, if coming out of last season our high-risk people lost faith and did not get the vaccine.”

While influenza is a “miserable” illness, Skowronski said it’s not life-threatening to healthy people, for whom vaccination is still

encouraged but a matter of personal preference.About one-third of B.C. residents typically get

the flu vaccine each year.H3N2 vaccines have consistently

underperformed in recent years.Skowronski said more work is needed to try

to solve the challenges of accurately gauging the vaccine’s fit against the virus in the lab, and in effectively reproducing a well-matched vaccine without losing its properties.

Also requiring more research, she said, is emerging evidence suggesting repeated use of the vaccine by a given patient diminishes its effectiveness for them in future years.

While the flu vaccine may not perform as well for someone who also received it the previous year as it would for a first-time user, Skowronski said, they’ll still be better off than unvaccinated people.

Her team is trying to recruit more B.C. doctors and nurses to help track the spread of flu strains this year and monitor the effectiveness of this year’s vaccine.

16 I COMMUNITY I SOOKENEWSMIRROR.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 201516 I NEWS I SOOKENEWSMIRROR.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2015

In their own wordsThe News Mirror is offering federal election candidates space to offer their viewpoints on five issues: the economy, environment, taxes, security and childcare. This week’s topic is Security.

While we can all agree terrorism is a very real threat, the Conservatives have chosen to respond by sowing fear and division while neglecting to do the things that would actually help keep us safe.

Stephen Harper has made significant cuts to all the front line agencies responsible for our security. Instead of giving these agencies the resources they actually need, Harper introduced Bill C-51, a bill universally condemned as a threat to our basic freedoms by the legal community, civil liberties experts, privacy commissioners and even four former Prime Ministers.

As the NDP Public Safety and National Security critic I led the fight in the House of Commons against C-51 and am committed to repealing that if re-elected in a NDP government. I will also work to ensure that we put an additional 2,500 front-line officers on the streets to keep our communities safe.

A Liberal government will repeal the problematic elements of Bill C-51, and introduce new legislation that better balances our security with our rights and freedoms.

We will introduce new legislation that will, among other measures:

■ Guarantee that all Canadian Security Intelligence Service warrants respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms;

■ Establish an all-party national security oversight committee;

■ Ensure that Canadians are not limited from lawful protests and advocacy;

■ Require that government review all appeals by Canadians on the no-fly list;

■ Narrow overly broad definitions, such as defining “terrorist propaganda” more clearly;

■ Limit Communications Security Establishment’s powers by requiring a warrant to engage in the surveillance of Canadians;

■ Require a statutory review of the full Anti-Terrorism Act after three years

Good government provides security from threats both at home and from abroad.

Canada’s most effective response to international threats is to work with our allies, ensuring a safer world by tackling the conditions that contribute to the rise of terrorism. The Green Party plan includes revitalizing our involvement with the United national peacekeeping, poverty alleviation and disaster relief programs.

Our military must be properly equipped to meet international and domestic security obligations. The Green Party will cancel the order for expensive fighter jets that don’t meet our needs and invest instead in new equipment that is specific to our defence requirements and replaces unsafe, outdated equipment that puts our men and women in uniform at risk.

The ability of our national police force, the RCMP, to respond to terrorism has been undermined by Bill C-51, which expands the powers of CSIS and Canada Border Services without any obligation to share information or coordinate activities with other security forces. This is a recipe for disaster and Greens will repeal it.

Our Conservative government remains committed to helping ensure the safety and security of communities across the country.

As a part of Economic Action Plan 2015, Prime Minister Stephen Harper unveiled a series of measures to help ensure Canada is safe from the ever-evolving threat of terrorism.

The prime minister announced new support for CSIS, aimed at helping them better identify and address threats from terrorists planning acts on Canadian soil, and from would-be terrorists trying to travel abroad to commit acts elsewhere.

Our government also announced support to help the Canada Revenue Agency crack down on the financing of terrorist groups through registered charities in Canada. And, we unveiled significant support to expand biometric screening measures to all foreign travellers entering Canada on a visa, which will help improve the security and integrity of our borders. Together, these measures will help protect Canadians and keep our communities safe.

What a surprise! When Elida Peer’s Sooke History column appeared in the Sooke News Mirror a couple of weeks ago about the view from the Sooke schoolyard looking out to sea, and the school’s entrance gate was missing because it had been strung up the flagpole, little did we know that very gate would appear. Harry and Bonnie Crooks of Tugwell Creek brought the gate to the Sooke Region Museum; they’ve had it in their back yard for many years, a gift from someone who had gone to Sooke School a long time ago.

Local volunteers to help train Panamanian firefightersOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

You’ve probably heard it many times before: Sooke may be a small town, but its arms can stretch out wide and far – such as the six volunteers from the Sooke Fire Association who will travel in a couple of weeks to Boquete, Panama, to provide emergency training and equipment to the local fire department.

Sooke Fire Rescue sent out a team of volunteers to Panama in 2013, providing basic fire training and tips on handling emergency situations. And, like last time, the department raised money for the trip through fundraisers such as bottle drives and car washes.

Sooke firefighter John Hester said much of the training with Boquete fire crews this time will focus on the process of safely extracting people out of vehicles.

“We’ll teach them how to stabilize a car, how to break the glass properly, how to take off the doors, the roof, if the car is on its

side or upside-down, that sort of thing,” he said, adding he and five other volunteers will be there for five days, with training sessions running from morning until later afternoon.

There’s also a theory component every day, some classroom time, then they’ll go out and perform the practical stuff on the cars along with the tools. This includes how-tos on using the jaws of life and other hydraulic tools familiar to firefighters.

“It’s a lot of hard work, just the fundraising for us to go there has been pretty constant, as well as preparing the training plans we have for them,” Hester said, adding the efforts being made will ensure a full, enriching experience for the firefighting men and women in Panama.

After all, it did happen once before, said Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen, adding when Sooke’s fire volunteers first visited Panama in 2013, the local firefighters were so impressed with the quality of the instruction that the head of the Panamanian fire service showed up and certified the training they did as the requirements for all of Panama.

The volunteers will be heading off to Panama on Oct. 16.

Late Sooke sculptor celebrated with big exhibitOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

They say that whatever it is that swims up from the depths of our dark subconscious, art always has a story behind it, be it via pastels, metal, granite or Lego.

For the late Sooke artist Jan Johnson, his metal sculptures were a form of expression; a way of telling a story of something too beautiful, too haunting, or even too horrible to be put into words or be spoken of.

And now, the public will have its chance to see his works and interpret their own stories for the first time ever since his passing four years ago, with the Tales of Woe and Whimsy exhibit being put on by the Sooke Region Museum starting on Oct. 24 until March 31, 2016.

The exhibit is set to show 25-35 of Johnson’s pieces, all of which were created from a colourful collection of metal scrap ranging between anything like a rusty old clock, to a shotgun, to a bunch of gears, to the front end of your mother’s old Cadillac.

His works often reflected stories of sacrifice, sexuality, abuse of power, death and war. But despite the heavy themes of his works, he was a quiet man, recalls his wife, Mary-Alice Johnson, his wife.

“I’d come home, and Jan would be welding these things up, and he was such a well-read person, he loved stories of all kinds,” she said. “He was a quiet man, so I didn’t ask him ‘what’s that about?’ but when I did, often his response would be, ‘it’s just what you see.’”

No doubt, he’d seen a lot. Before travelling the world and spending majority of his time in Asia as a transportation economist, it was his experience in Vietnam in his younger years that started welding and moulding things into shapes, or even scenes of what he had seen.

He settled in Sooke in 1976 after a haunting tour of duty during the Indo-China war. His role was as a logistics and transportation platoon leader in Vietnam.

“When he came back, he said it was an ‘utterly-futile war, and that it set something

going in his brain to do art,” Mary-Alice said, adding that it wasn’t until after he went on military leave back to his home, a cattle ranch in Wyoming, that he “started sticking things together.”

She said much of his way of building his creations was, ironically, based on a military ideology: observe, record, and report.

“As the artist and the person seeing everything around him, he would then report it through his art, often which included military atrocities and misuse of power,” she said.

It wasn’t all just disturbing war stuff though. Johnson also had a great sense of humour, poking fun at all kinds of ironic, and often ridiculous aspects of daily life,

such as boredom, or the reoccurring subject of company executives making bold and risky decisions behind closed doors.

He also loved the idea animals and their place among humans, which is why he’d often fuse (often literally) the two ideas by creating a face, or a shape of a bird or animal from something as cold and trivial as an exhaust pipe.

Johnson said her husband created around 400 sculptures, though only a handful were chosen for the upcoming exhibit, due to space limitations. Luckily however, visitors will get to experience pieces from each of his most heartfelt themes.

Naturally, even those in charge of putting

on the exhibit itself were touched by the deep nature of his works, such as Brianna Shambrook, collections and exhibits manager at the Sooke Region Museum who spent months putting on the collection and picking the right pieces for the exhibit.

“They’re all kind of mysterious, and because Jan is no longer with us, we can’t ask him any questions on what they mean,” she said. “Some of the titles give us hints on what stories they come from, or what religions, but he wanted people to just look at it and make their own assumptions.”

Tales of Woe and Whimsy opens to the public on Saturday, Oct. 24 and runs until March 31, 2016.

“Tommy” coming soon to EMCS“Can You. Hear Me. Tommy.” Most of us who’ve seen those signs posted on

the side of the road coming into Sooke probably wondered what they were about.

Well, it’s not aliens, unfortunately, and it’s cer-tainly not a prank, either, in fact the sign heralds the Sooke Harbour Players’ next performance, The Who’s “Tommy” which will be taking place in November at the Edward Milne Community School theatre.

The story revolves around Tommy, a child who becomes “blind, deaf and dumb” upon witnessing the murder of his stepfather. Despite being horri-

bly maimed, Tommy holds a special gift at pinball, and becomes an “international sensation with a cult following.”

The production team includes people that have performed in or helped organize a variety of shows, including producer Joe Scheubel (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat), lighting direc-tor Jill Sweet (Cabaret, Afterlife, Cirque du Soleil), tech lead Landon Kelley (Music Man, Pirates of Penzance) and set master Martin Reinders (Jesus Christ Superstar, Music Man, The Lion King, My Fair Lady).

Perfomance dates are Nov. 6, 7, 13, 15, 20 and 21.

For nine years, spanning from the Great Depression to the Second World War, Thomas Dufferin Pattullo was premier of British Columbia.

Two of Pattullo’s granddaughters, Anne Ford and Beth Pattullo, still have homes on the property that he bought in 1929 in the new subdivision of Saseenos. Another granddaughter, Clare Smith, well-known in Sooke, currently makes her home in Lillooet.

While T.D. Pattullo began his career at his birthplace, Woodstock Ont., his lively spirit and interest in politics led him first to a position in the Yukon and then to Prince Rupert, where he became mayor in 1913. By 1916 he had been elected to the legislature and became minister of Lands in the Liberal government.

In June 1933 he became premier of B.C., campaigning on a platform of extending government relief to the unemployed. During his busy years in office, he enjoyed the refuge of his weekend home on the waterfront.

Granddaughter Beth says: “He was out here a lot; he took us for hikes up Mt. Shepherd (now Manuel Quimper) and along the railroad tracks (now the Galloping Goose); we swam in the basin and rowed a small clinker

built boat.”Perhaps it was

because of “T.D.”’s first political experience in Dawson City, Yukon, but early on he showed himself to be an advocate of building an access road to the Yukon and Alaska. This did not actually happen of course, until the Second World War and agreements with the U.S. government, but T.D. did live to see his vision of the Alaska Highway become a

reality.Speaking of

highways, the bridge over the Fraser River that has connected New Westminster and Surrey since 1937 was named the Pattullo Bridge. A number of other provincial landmarks bear his name as well.

As premier, T.D. Pattullo followed Simon Fraser Tolmie; after his government’s defeat, the next premier, who became leader of a Liberal/Conservative coalition in 1942, was John Hart. T.D.’s retirement was spent between Oak Bay and Saseenos.

Though the three Pattullo granddaughters remember with fondness the secluded cottage on the waterfront they all shared for family events, their property is now surrounded by many neighbours.

Beth also recalls that the premier’s jovial spirit, his many friendships and his enjoyment of “a wee drop of scotch” led to wonderful bonfires and singsongs, memories she treasures.

The B.C. government has committed up to $100,000 a year to share costs of “urban deer management operations,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reducing the risks and damage they cause.

The province is responsible for wildlife management, but the government wants solutions to be developed locally. Some communities have resorted to killing deer, with mixed success and sometimes intense local opposition, while others

suggest birth control, relocation or “hazing” of deer using dogs to keep them away from communities.

A B.C. government fact sheet advises that if deer are to be killed, they should caught in traps that look like oversized hockey nets, then shot with a bolt gun at close range. Provincial staff can lend available equipment and issue permits to manage deer populations in or near urban areas, or develop hunting regulations for local situations.

September went by fast for all the kids and teachers at Journey Middle School.

We got off to a great start with our back to school barbecue. We had tons of fun and great food. Thanks to the Sooke Lions Club for the free hotdogs, it was greatly appreciated.

The fun kept going with Beach Day for all grades which influenced team building and social skills. The Grade 6 students travelled to French Beach and had a great time, the Grade 7 students went to Aylard farms and spent the day in the sun and the Grade 8 kids hiked down to Mystic and explored the beach.

The school students and staff ran a total of 5,373 kilometres in the Terry Fox Run. Students ran the five kilometre run in support of Terry and cancer research.

Nick Heslop beat our school record for the Terry Fox Run with a time of 18 minutes and 19 seconds. First place for the girls went to Irina Karassev and Zoe

Evans who crossed the finish line hand in hand with a time of 22 minutes and 30 seconds. That’s amazing!

After the race, four bold students, who have been raising money for Cops for Cancer, got up and had their heads shaved in front of everyone. First one up was Christian Zakharchuk who raised $135. Next, was Alexsei Guetre who raised $200.

After that, was Tyler Linell who raised $550. Last, but definitely not least, was Chris Piataowski who raised an outstanding $935! Everyone was so proud.

This was a great first month of the school year and we know the fun will just keep coming.

If you gotten to know runner Ken Pungente the last couple of years or so, there’s something you might not know about him.

Pungente, 72, survived a heart attack while racing in a

12-kilometre race in Cedar, south of Nanaimo.

The story begins on a drizzly Sunday morning in February 2007, but it certainly doesn’t end there.

He remembers very little about the heart attack, but does remember starting the race. His saving grace was four women who came to his rescue and brought him back to life through

their training as registered nurses and respiratory therapists.

The amazing part of this story, perhaps, is instead of feeling sorry for himself or giving up on running, he did the complete opposite.

He ran more competitively and trained twice as hard.

Although he had been a runner for more than 12 years, it wasn’t until after his heart attack that he ran a full marathon – in Ireland and Greece.

“I think it’s important to say there is something afterwards. You need to get on with your life. You need to do things, not just sit at home and wait to die,” Pungente said.

Pungente has always been an athlete. He was playing both hockey

and rugby well into his adult years. It was only after he “retired” from rugby at age 49 that he gave running a shot.

He only started running because he was filled with an “awful sense of guilt” that he was doing nothing to stay fit.

Pungente wasn’t particularly enamoured by it, but he kept at it and soon was addicted.

“I started running , then ran a little longer … before I knew it I was running more than a kilometre and I expanded it from that,” he recalled.

Within a few years, he was running in charity events and soon entered his first half-marathon. He figured he’s run at least 30 marathons over the last 20 years.

And while he admits, the heart

attack did put running aside briefly, he now believes he has a more competitive spirit because of it.

“I push the envelope more now then ever before,” Pungente said. “Sometimes I ask myself: What are you trying to prove, but it makes me feel good. I love it.”

Last weekend, Pungente ran in the CIBC Run for a Cure five-kilometre run and on Sunday (Oct. 11) will be front and centre in the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon’s half-marathon.

“People need to be told to get on with their life after a heart attack,” he said. “Get out and do things – stay active.”

Sports Roundup

Sooke Thunderbirds blanked Saanich Braves by a 6-0 score to open Atom A tiering round-robin play at SEAPARC Leisure Complex arena on Saturday.

It was the second straight game that the local minor hockey league club has kept its Saanich rival off the scoreboard.

“I’m excited for the year,” said Thunderbirds coach Nick Szadkowski. “We can only go up.”

The Thunderbirds have only six returning players from last year’s club, and Szadkowski expects a bit of a learning curve for this year’s team.

The Atom A division (ages 9 and 10) is a young player’s first foray into competitive hockey.

So far, Szadkowski has been encouraged by his young team and the leadership it’s shown on and off the ice.

“I think we’re doing great. We have a good mix of kids,” he said.

“This is really where you see the competition come out in the kids.”

Along with Saanich, the Thunderbirds will also play tiering games against Nanaimo, Kerry Park and Port Alberni.

Midgets edged by Powell River

Goals by Aidan Wood and Dexter Kennedy were not enough as the Powell River Kings defeated the Sooke Thunderbirds 3-2 in Midget A play.

Powell River potted goals in all three periods. Sooke’s markers came in the first and third periods.

“It was a well-matched game,” said Thunderbirds’ coach Kevin Berger, noting both Sooke goals

were scored by defencemen.Next game for Sooke is Oct.

18 when the Thunderbirds play Juan de Fuca at CFB Esquimalt.

Sooke Loggers earn victory over PR United

A two-goal performance by Daniel Bergerud propelled Sooke Loggers past Powell River Villa 3-1 in Vancouver Island Soccer League Division 2 action at Fred Milne Park on Saturday.

Tayler Johnson popped in the other marker for Sooke.

Brody Harry scored the lone goal for Powell River.

Games MVPs were Kelton Peck for Sooke and Harry for Powell River.

The win leaves Sooke 2-2-0 on

the season.Next up for Sooke is an away

game against Lakehill United on Saturday.

Meantime, Sooke United drew to a 2-2 against the Tritons on Sunday in Division 4B play.

Jimmy Nex and Guy Lomax scored for Sooke.

Sooke players come up big in win

Sooke players dominated in the Victoria Spartans convincing 44-14 victory over Fairview Cowboys Sunday in junior bantam football.

Avan Wickheim stepped in as team kicker, converting on four touchdowns. He kicked off seven times where no Cowboy could return it.

Defensive players Jared Steele and Owen Cheng played well running down the Cowboys’ kick returns. They also led the team with numerous tackles and stepped in at quarterback.

Newcomer Riley Berfelo also contributed with a 23 yard reception and plenty of tackles and great blocking.

Coach Andy Carrier’s player of the day was QB Will Gorchonouv, who played the first half of the game, completing four touchdowns.

Minor hockey hits top gear

Recent results from Sooke Minor Hockey: Bantam C1 4, Kerry Park C1 2; Bantam C2 3, Saanich C4 3; Bantam C3 2, Saanich C1 2; Peninsula C3 10, Bantam C1 4; Kerry Park C1 4, Pee Wee C2 2.

Minor hockey action continues through the weekend at SEAPARC Leisure Complex.

The Missing Piece

Many people love to put together large jigsaw puzzles. They � nd great pleasure until they � nd that the one piece is missing. The result is an empty space right in the middle of a beautiful picture. One cannot help but feel sorry for someone who has put so much time and effort into a project simply to � nd that only one

more piece would make the picture perfect. This is the case with many people and the celebration of Thanksgiving.

In researching the history of the Canadian celebration it is interesting to note that for many years the theme of the Thanksgiving holiday changed annually to re� ect an important event for which to be thankful. In its early years it was for an abundant harvest and occasionally for a special anniversary or event.

In the modern celebration (which has only been � xed to be on the second Monday in October since 1957) the food is there, the family is there, the decorations are there... the puzzle is complete except for one missing piece...The piece that is missing is not the theme. Thanksgiving for all that we have in this country, for the food, for the family, for the freedom, for those who serve us in unacknowledged ways, they are all there...The missing piece of the puzzle is the question, “To whom are you thankful?”

The history of this day is a uniquely Christian celebration giving thanks to God for the care and provision made for us in this life and in the life to come. Both the historical celebration, and the modern celebration are missing a very important piece if we are not thankful to God for all that we have.

Complete the puzzle. Let none of us leave an empty space in the celebration of Thanksgiving.

For all that we have and all that we enjoy, THANKS BE TO GOD!

Pastor Gordon Kouwenberg

Car culture, like the very gear heads from which it originates, is like a mosaic of horsepower, high octane and passion.

Since the Sooke News Mirror launched this section back in spring, we’ve celebrated the cool factor of some of Sooke’s – and indeed Vancouver Island’s – most unique vehicles, regardless of their make, model, or year.

For this edition of Hot Car, we again look at one of Japan’s most popular (and indeed rare) sport coupes: the 1992 Acura Integra GSR, belonging to Sooke gear head and racing driver Laura-Ashley Grant.

While Grant’s GSR is one of many tuned

examples in the world, this one is entirely rust-free, lacking any major scuffs or ludicrously-impractical spoilers.

In addition, it’s tastefully modified, featuring subtle additions such as a cold-air intake, a stainless-steel exhaust system, custom disc brakes, as well as a sport suspension setup that actually benefits the handling of the car rather than hindering it.

Exterior detail is also a reflection of what is under the hood, featuring a carbon-fibre front bumper lower lip, along with JDM-spec headlamps and a custom steering wheel and shifter.

Now, you wonder, why is GSR so special in the first place?

Originally introduced in 1986, the Integra

was built off the Honda Civic platform to provide auto enthusiasts with an affordable and reliable means of road fun. But despite a nimble chassis and a butter-smooth five-speed manual transmission, the GSR still needed a strong heart, so Honda turned to its Formula One team; the very same blokes who engineered the brilliant (and victorious) McLaren MP4-4 that helped legendary F1 driver Ayrton Senna win his first world title in 1988.

The end result for the GSR was a 160-horsepower, 1.7-litre four-cylinder engine, which, thanks to its clever valve timing engine system (known as VTEC) was capable of reaching 8,000 RPMs.

Grant says her GSR continues to put a smile on her face every day (as it is her daily driver) and is looking to repaint the body, as well as give the engine some fine tuning.

Fishing in Sooke waters has taken its natural seasonal turn to include those shore fishers looking for salmon at the entrance to the Sooke River.

Many fly and gear fishers have been down at the Billings Spit area for the last couple of weeks hooking into mostly chums and coho, for some good smoking fish, or just for fun. A salt water licence, spinning rod and reel and some casting lures can be purchased locally quite reasonably. It’s a great way to introduce kids to fishing for salmon.

On the local trolling scene, coho are currently in and regulations now allow fishers to retain one

wild and up to three hatchery coho salmon each day. Check the regulations before heading out.

Artificial lures – coho killers, spoons, hootchies and pink squirts are favorites for coho. Boats have been reporting hitting most coho with the gear at

60 to 90 feet on the downrigger in 500 feet of water off Secretary Island.

Overall coho fishing has been slower than normal in the Strait of Juan de Fuca to this point, although plenty seem to be showing up in Sooke River.

There have still been a few late spawning spring salmon showing up, but very few. Halibut fishing has been good, as many anglers looking for the thrill of larger fish have switched their attention to these tasty beasts.

Usually halibut are in deeper water this time of year, anchoring in 180 to 250 feet of water in our area consistently. Spots closer to the harbour mouth usually heat up as the halibut move in to feed on spawned

salmon carcasses washing out of the harbour. Best baits include fresh herring, and salmon bellies or spines rigged on spreader bar systems with large sharp 8/0 to 10/0 hooks.

Crabbing in the harbour off the Rotary Public Pier continues to be consistant with catches of at least a couple of good hard males for an afternoons’ fishing effort.

On the derby circuit, the Sooke Coho Derby is Oct.10 at Jock’s Dock. Tickets are available at Trotac Marine, Wisebuys, Island Outfitters, Crab Shack, and Eagle-Eye Outfitters. Buffy’s Pub will be hosting a Liquor and Cheese Burger Coho Derby party tonight (Oct.7) from 7 to 9 p.m.

Born near Riverton, MB to a family of 10 children, Mae was married for 59 years to her partner Olafur Anderson. Her loving husband Oli predeceased her in 2012, her son Randy in 1983, her parents, and all but one of her siblings. She is lovingly remembered by her brother Wilbert, her children Kristine (Dennis), Vince, Pam (Mike), and Fran, her grandchildren Cheri (Mike), Jillian, Justin (Ali), Cory (Erin), Nicole (Nathan), Eric, Craig, Sacha, Brett (Kaitlyn), and her great-grandchildren Kale, Carly, Billy, Gregorey, Carissa, & Kasia and all of her adopted families throughout the years. Mae grew up in Riverton, MB, moved to Pincher Creek, AB in 1970 and then out to Sooke, BC in 1979. She always had time for family and friends.

Her and Oli started seeing the world as opportunities arose through their travel agency. Wherever they lived, the door was always open to all. Th eir Icelandic roots and traditions ran deep and many trips and much joy and laughter were had back home.

Her greatest joy was her grand and great-grandchildren. Mae was forever as active as she could be despite her debilitating arthritis- “use it or lose it” she would oft en say. She was a loving wife, mother, Amma and a friend. A role model for all. She will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be planned in Pincher Creek, AB in the future. Condolences may be off ered online at www.sandsduncan.ca

Mae Gudrun (Palson) Anderson

May 23, 1928 ~ September 24, 2015

The salmon are returning to Kirby Creek as you’re leaving this world. I wish you could have been with us longer to see them.

We’ll cherish our memories of you and take some solace in the fact your struggles are over and the pain is gone. Whenever we hear Gordon Lightfoot or Crystal Gayle we’ll be thinking of you. You were a wonderful mother, friend and daughter. Truly selfless, even to strangers. A shame the world lost you.

Survived by her mother, Valentina Polushin, and Husband Ian Taylor. Also survived by her children Vanya Taylor (Jennifer), Jason Taylor (Jen), Tatiana Taylor (Ian) and Larissa Taylor (Morgan). She leaves behind 4 grandchildren, Christina, Natalia, Kiara and Nicolas.

When you make it to Heaven give Deda a hug from us all. We Love you.

In Loving Memory of Marina Taylor

KeepYour Kids SafeSupport Fire Prevention Week October 4-10, 2015

Presented by your local Fire Departments: Sooke • East Sooke • Otter Point • Shirley

Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level

of the home, including the basement.

Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do.

Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly.

Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands

what to do when they hear it.

If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place.

Call the fire department from outside the home.
