JdF society loses land in Admiral’s ForestPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

There is a bit of disappointment in the Juan de Fuca Community Land Trust Society after they learned the property they were trying to save was sold.

The Admiral’s Trust property on West Coast Road was sold to Michael, the son of the retired Admiral John Charles.

The 70 acres of land, which the society hoped to purchase for between $700,000 and $1-million, would have been used as public

green space for horseback rid-ing, hiking, scouting activities and other non-invasive pursuits.

It is a portion of the 126-acre par-cel in Otter Point purchased in the 1960’s by Admiral John Charles and his wife, Mary. His parcel was registered as Private Managed Forest and through his efforts, the Admiral created a wildly beautiful place, all crisscrossed with trails. As private land, the forest is only accessible to the Charles family, and to certain of the neighbours welcomed to ride the trails on their horses.

John Alexander Charles was an

Admiral of the Royal Canadian Navy. He commanded a squadron of destroyers in the Korean con-flict and was a Commandant of Royal Roads Military College.

With the land now sold, the owner is asking people not to trespass on the land as he will be selective logging.

“As president of the Juan de Fuca Land Trust, I’m happy it won’t be logged (clear cut). These lands are precious,” said Margot Swinburnson.

The society held a number of events to draw attention to the forest as well as raise money for

purchase of the land. They had a day of poetry readings in the woods, coffee from Stick in the Mud called Admiral’s Blend and numerous other fundraisers.

The land trust was established in November 2013 to purchase properties suitable for parkland and then donate the land to the regional parks system or to oper-ate it themselves for the benefit of the public and the wildlife of this region.

The society, although they didn’t acquire the Admiral’s For-est, will continue working to pro-tect properties on Southern Van-

couver Island.Swinburnson said they will have

a directors’ meetings and a gen-eral meeting to discuss next steps.

She said the society now has charitable status and their vision is for a 30-year plan.

“It’s about what the community will look like,” she said.

The society will work on mak-ing strategic alliances, and people with a wish to save property can still donate to the Victoria Founda-tion of the JdFCLT Society.

Top copSteve Wright, dur-

ing his ride for Cops for Cancer, raised over $35,000. His personal goal was $5,000. Of that amount $25,000 was raised by Sooke residents and the Tour de Rock Fundraising Committee through the Jailathon, bottle drives, head shaves and assorted fundraisers.

Money is still trick-ling in, so the total will, in the end, be much higher. Great job Sooke!

two more candidatesEach of the candidates

running in the Novem-ber 15 municipal elec-tion have written their own announcements

Bev BergerI am very pleased to

announce that I have decided to run for council for a third term. I feel honored that the people of Sooke have allowed me to repre-sent them at the coun-cil table for the past six years.

Being a member of council is an exciting, challenging, and some-times frustrating job, and I love it! I cannot think of a better way to give back to the very community that helped raise me.

Sooke is such a unique and diverse community, we have the most amazing vol-unteers and it has been a pleasure to be a part of fostering those rela-tionships with our ser-vice groups throughout this past council.

The pride and dedi-cation that I have for my hometown knows no boundaries, I   truly hope I am given the opportunity to be a voice at the council table once again.

Ebony LoginsYou may have heard

the rumours. Well, they’re true. Ebony Logins is indeed run-ning for a council posi-tion with the District of Sooke. A passionate champion for youth engagement in Sooke, she intends to promote

intergenerational com-munity development that makes youth and young families an inte-gral and valued focus of municipal decision-making.

Born and raised in Sooke, Logins, 28, is a Community School Coordinator for the EMCS Society and also oversees the Sooke Youth Council. She would bring commit-ment, leadership skills and a positive example of the possibilities for the town’s next genera-tion to council. She’s taken to heart the words of Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand, who recently said “our democracy needs young Canadians to be creative, to take action and make their voices heard.”

Over the summer Logins co-coordinated Sooke CHI’s Getting It Built: Community Centre Project for the District of Sooke. The black-belt martial artist volunteers for Special Olympics BC, the Sooke Martial Arts Associa-tion, and coaches the Junior Girls Basketball team at EMCS.

A major turning point in her life came when she was working for the Sooke Youth Council and Volunteer Victoria during the 2012 Youth Friendly Community Project. A group of 50 students were asked if they planned to leave Sooke after graduating.

“Every one of them raised their hand and my heart sunk,” she recalls. “But then we asked how many of them planned to return to Sooke one day and up went their hands again. I knew right then that working to develop a community capable of providing them and their families with sus-tainable, long-term futures was going to be a big part of my life and career.”

It’s a familiar pattern for Logins herself. After graduating from EMCS, she obtained a degree in Tourism and Rec-reation Management

from Vancouver Island University, then trav-eled and moved around the province before being irresistibly drawn back home.

“It’s beautiful that a chunk of the popula-tion has grown up here, left to gain experience and education, then returned home,” she says. “People like me want to buy homes, raise families and work in the region. I represent a genera-tion that cares deeply about Sooke and how it develops in the years ahead. I want to inspire more people to register, vote and be politically active.”

Also confirmed to be running are: David Shebib for mayor, Mark Whiteson and Justin Hanson for councillor.

Bev Berger Ebony Logins

CounCiL BriEfsAt the special meeting of the Dis-

trict of Sooke council on October 6 the following items on the agenda were dealt with:

Bylaws:• Council gave first, second and

third reading to Bylaw 404, Subdivi-sion and Development Stands Bylaw, 2014. The bylaw was reviewed and public consultation sought by the Land Use and Environment Commit-tee and Committee of the Whole.

• Council gave first, second and third reading to Bylaw 607 which deals with permissive tax exemp-tions. In this case, the Salvation Army was the applicant requesting a tax exemption of $9,813 based on the proportion of total square metres leased and the total 2014 tax levy.

Reports requiring action:• Council approved issuance of a

Development Permit Amendment for 6995 Nordin Road (Phase 3).

The applicant requested an amend-ment due to changing market con-ditions and wishes to make minor alterations to Phase 3 of the DP. The units will be reduced in size by 15-20 per cent. The original DP approved construction of 91 multi-family units. The appliance are also proposing 30 per cent more landscaping specifi-cally to the Nordin Road side of the buildings.

• A request for a $3,000 sponsor-ship for the Sooke Dance Studio was not approved by council. The rea-son was the dance studio is a private business and the District of Sooke is not able to provide a benefit or other forms of assistance as per Section 25(1) of the Community Charter.

Reports and correspondence requiring action:

• District of Sooke council recom-mended establishing a select com-mittee to carry out a public infor-

mation process for the question on the November 15 ballot: “Would you support the District of Sooke work-ing with the community to develop multi-use community centre facili-ties? Yes or No.”

• The Public Information Commit-tee would be made up of representa-tives from Sooke Region CHI, Sooke Community Association, Sooke Lions, Sooke Rotary, SECHS, Sooke OAP, Sooke Seniors’ Drop-In Cen-tre, Sooke Community Arts Council, Sooke Youth Council and SEAPARC.

The mayor will act as liaison.• District of Sooke Council recom-

mended giving the Sooke Commu-nity Association $10,000 towards the recent renovations and upgrades to the Sooke Community Hall.

The association received a grant from the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors Program ($25,000), in kind donations ($30,000) as well as SCA funds ($30,000) for a total of $85,000.

“The Sooke Community Associa-tion has been limping along for years, it wouldn’t hurt us to support them,” said Mayor Milne.

• A request for $500 from the Vic-toria Family Court & Youth Justice Committee was granted.

The next scheduled council meet-ings are at 7 p.m. on October 27.

The Committee of the Whole meets at 6 p.m. and on October 27. All meetings take place at the District of Sooke municipal hall at 2205 Otter Point Road, upstairs.

Thumbs up!

To aLL oF the candidates who are running for Sooke council and the School Board. There were no other contenders for the JdF regional Director.

Did you know….

It is almost election time! We had

both mayor elects at our office to go

over their philosophies and explain

how they hoped to move our town

forward. It can be very confusing to

decipher from “talk” and “reality”

in all the discussions . I encourage

everyone to read all they can on the

candidates, listen to them when they

have an opportunity to speak out on

their behalf. There is no doubt I

have opinions about it all, but I

have not decided for sure who I will

vote for. Educate yourself...this is a

The scene here will be unfamiliar to all but a handful of residents. Long ago we received this 1938 photo from Jack Elliott, an early superintendent of the Jordan River power plant. Recently, it was Hilly Lewis who helped describe the photo which shows the flume built by Vancouver Island Power Company, a subsidiary of BC Elec-tric.

In this view the flume is crossing the Jor-dan River south of the Diversion Dam, carry-ing water from Diver-sion Dam to the Fore-bay Reservoir prepara-tory to the water being forced under pressure into the penstocks feed-ing the powerhouse.

Driving through the community of Jordan River today, it is hard to visualize the enormity of the development which brought water from Jordan Meadows and Bear Creek valley to the power plant. For five decades the plant was the main hydro-electric operation pro-ducing and transmit-ting electricity to serve the needs of Victoria and southern Vancou-ver Island.

This photo shows the wooden flume rest-ing on bridgework as it crosses the river, sup-

ported by concrete bents. The flume was a trough built of Doug-las-fir, six feet deep and eight feet across. This flume, built in 1926, replaced an ear-lier structure with less capacity. The structure which clung precipi-tously to the steep hill-sides of the Jordan for five and one-quarter miles, had a drop in ele-vation of twenty feet. It took one and one-quar-ter hours for the water

to journey to the Fore-bay.

The original two-sto-rey powerhouse, built in 1909, was on the east side of the river, a grand structure in its glory days, three hun-dred and forty-one feet in length, with a front façade of massive win-dows. Larry Rumsby’s dad, Frank Rumsby, was an electrician at the plant.

Today, its interior gutted, it stands sad

and forlorn, suffering the ravages of time, although in more recent years the structure was used as a value-added milling operation. The flume too, though look-ing so sprightly in this photo, is long gone, with only glimpses of its remains to be found on the wooded hill-sides.

Since the province took over the BC Elec-tric Company in 1962, it has been BC Hydro

and Power Authority that has managed oper-ations. A new power plant was built on the west side of the river in 1971, with a pro-duction capability far greater than the origi-nal system. The new plant now feeds power into a more extensive grid that serves a wide-spread population.

Hospice: Never alone at the endVolunteeers make end of life more comfortingPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

For years the dream of the Sooke Hospice Society was to have their own free-standing hospice. Then three years ago the estate of John Oliver gave the society a real home.

With the acquisition of the spacious house on Goodmere Road in Sooke, the society can now expand their work. What they do is aid and comfort people in the most sensitive time of their lives by providing palliative care for the dying.

It is not a subject many people are com-fortable with, but it is a fact of life and those who volunteer provide an invaluable service to the client as well as the family.

“It’s such a difficult time of life,” said Pat Brooks, president of the Sooke Hospice Soci-ety. “You are in a whole different space in your life and the volunteers support people where they’re at and treat them with dignity.”

Volunteers go to the client’s home or the hospital and will be with them for the last years/months/weeks/days, so they are not alone. Each case is dif-ferent and the volun-teer may read to the client, help with basic body mechanics, pro-vide simple massage or just sit and listen.

“Listening is a big

part of the training,” said Brooks. “They don’t give advice or tell them what to do, they learn to ask questions.”

The hospice volun-teers are just one part of the team dealing with each client. There is usually a family doc-tor and care service workers helping coor-dinate the client care. Counselling is provided to family members as well as the client.

It’s a much-needed and appreciated ser-vice and the society is seeking new volun-teers who may want to help people in this way. The time spent by volunteers with some-one in the last stages of their life is depen-dent on what time they can afford. Brooks said it can be two hours a week or an hour three times a week or even more.

“It depends on how

much need there is and how much time a vol-unteer has - but you have to be committed.”

She said they will not leave people alone.

“It’s so individual-ized. Hospice isn’t a

place you go to, it’s a philosophy. It’s helping people. It’s very unique, it really is. What you get out of this is really remarkable.”

Brooks notes that hospice volunteers are not nurses, they do not deal with any medical issues.

“We have people who have been through a loss, ex-nurses, care aides and kind people,” she said of the types of volunteers they get.

“Most end of life is very peaceful - the doc-

tor’s goal is to keep them comfortable. The doc-tors are trained too.”

Many people at the end of their lives, said Brooks, want to be at home with their cat or dog, the old grandfa-ther clock, the things that are familiar to them and the focus of

hospice is to keep them at home.

“We try to satisfy everything that we can if they want to be in their own home, but sometimes it is not medically possible.”

Hospice does supply some medical equip-ment.

Sooke Hospice is supported in part by a grant from the gam-ing commission, vari-ous grants from VIHA, service clubs and gen-erous donations. They hold three fundraisers a year: Celebrate a Life at Christmas, Plant a Memory in the spring and a craft and bake sale at the house. They also receive funds from Buffy’s poker night and the Friday night meat draws.

Now that the society has the house on Good-mere, they would to be able to provide respite care for care givers and possibly a place for someone from out of town.

Sooke Hospice cares for approximately 10-15 clients per month and they call for volunteers once a year.

“It’s not doom and gloom,” said Brooks. “It’s about being respectful of where they’re at - it’s about acceptance.”

For those who may be interested there is no cost to join and about 30 hours of train-ing is provided - mostly in the evenings.

“You have to be com-mitted and you may not know if you can do it until you come out and find out about it.”

Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20.

Justice Minis-ter Suzanne Anton announced the addi-tional penalty points Wednesday, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system.

Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and

could increase them, but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a first offence of distracted driving.

“I think a $1,000 fine is rather high,” Anton said.

Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insur-ance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superinten-dent of Motor Vehicles considers licence sus-pension.

Anton said there were 51,000 tickets issued last year for dis-tracted driving of all

kinds.“Ticket volumes

show us that more drivers are ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” Anton said.

Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an aver-age 88 people killed per year from 2009 to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impair-ment.

Police can also issue tickets for driving without due care and attention to any driver

who is noticeably dis-tracted or inattentive and increasing risk to others.

What should I do if I think I have experienced a concussion?

Concussions may lead to headaches, loss of consciousness, confusion,

vomiting, seizures and dizziness. If you have experienced any of these symptoms, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention with a professional who has knowledge of brain injury. In my experience, treatments vary depending on severity.

My water heater is 5 yrs old. Is it a good idea to have the anode rod replaced in order to extend the life the tank?

MomeWisePlumbing & Drainage

It may not be worth it; if you have much less than 3’ of space above your tank, the operation becomes quite di� cult. In this case, the tank will have to be

drained, disconnected from power & water, tipped out to allow better access to the top, the anode replaced, and then the tank re-installed. You’ve just spent more on labour than you would have for a new tank installation! � is costly maneuver may or may not have gained you a couple of extra year’s life for your tank. � is is just one of the reasons why, at HomeWise Plumbing and Drainage, we prefer to install lifetime warranty tanks; they do not require anode rods as there are no dissimilar metals.

I’ve heard of Critical Illness Insurance, what is that?

How much does a denture cost?

Sooke made up of old and new faces

Every Thanksgiving many of us reflect on what we were grateful for. This past weekend was likely full of turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and yams. A veritable cornucopia of over indulgence and feasting.

We are grateful for being able to enjoy these dinners without having to wonder where the next meal is coming from. We are grateful to have our family and friends around us to help celebrate the harvest. We are grateful we have a harvest.

In today’s world where famine, war and disease is so commonplace, we are indeed fortunate that we are relatively safe here in Canada. But the world is changing and we are not as isolated as we once were. Our actions can have a ripple effect.

We may not be able to change anything nationally or even provincially, but we can change things locally, thankfully. Out votes for local government are the closest to having some say in what happens.

With the election gearing up, we are seeing new faces come forward. There will be a change in council and it is hoped that a few new councillors with different perspectives on Sooke will take their seats in the council chamber. There are the “old” Sookies and the “new” Sookies and somehow they are going to have to be able to work together for the sake of all of Sooke. Both the old and the new have their followers, but old loyalties shouldn’t be a reason for casting a vote for an old Sookie. Each vote should be cast for the candidate who best serves the entire community with no conflict of interest.

There doesn’t need to be some kind of divide, each person on council should be there for the good of all of Sooke. It’s not just the old boys’ network anymore, there’s a whole new generation of Sookies who also call Sooke home.

ANOTHER VIEW

BC Views

Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Com-mission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”

Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commis-sioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.

They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leav-ing behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-govern-ment. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shop-ping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negoti-ated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.

The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief

commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influ-ential voices, urging aboriginal com-munities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries.

Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a man-date to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out.

This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recog-nizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago.

Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both finan-cial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.”

That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.

It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most

other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotia-tions. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern trea-ties.

Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke.

Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achiev-ing a treaty, Pierre said. The commis-sion is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.

There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest prod-ucts businesses as they move toward self-government.

Federal and provincial govern-ments must recognize the suc-cesses, and the failures.

The last on Flea Beach

The saga of the Flea Beach trees.

The Sheringham Lighthouse Preserva-tion Society had noth-ing to do with the removal of trees mali-ciously damaged within the last two years on a property adjacent to Flea Beach.

The Ministry of Transportation, the Lighthouse Society and neighbors were con-tacted recently by me to inform them that a certified arborist would be checking and remov-ing damaged trees on the adjacent property owner’s own land.

A number of trees maliciously damaged on Flea Beach, before the Lighthouse Society obtained a lease from MOT, are a problem for the adjacent prop-erty owner. Last win-ter a tree, which had been cut one-quarter of the way through and ringed, did come down on their house, causing their insurance com-pany to install a secu-rity camera on the side of the house,

Ray CrayShirley

Minor bylaw amendment request

To Sooke council c/o Sooke News Mirror.

Further to my ini-tial application to con-struct a small garden shed towards the rear of my property, I feel a few minor amend-ments and variances

are required to allow this vision to grow to its full potential.

After borrowing Field of Dreams from the local library, I realize that the initial sche-matic was overly mod-est. The shed has now been superseded by an 8-story condominium/hotel/yurt project ten-tatively being marketed as Silver Mariners Pres-tige Village Spray IV.

The building itself will be primarily con-structed from locally-gathered twigs and straw, although the spa and bistro will feature a design based on mar-

ble and diamonds.I realize that although

this development will aid the municipality in terms of creating hun-dreds of well-paid jobs into the next millen-nium, there is a need to put something back into the community.

For this reason, should you approve the application, I prom-ise to add a new library and community centre together with a fully-equipped 50-bed hos-pital. If this does not suffice, you should be aware that I am engaged in preliminary discussions with both a

film studio and a ferry service. And did I men-tion a hanging-garden in the style of ancient Babylon?

At this stage, I feel I must be honest with you and confess that we only have parking spaces for three cars and will obviously require some flexibil-ity from council. How-ever, I have observed that there seems to be plenty of unused space in the middle of Sooke Road and with just a few cans of paint, we could create a third lane (yes, it will be a bit narrow) dedicated exclusively

to parking. I await your approval comfortable amid a long history of precedent.

Yours in promises,Clive Jones

Sooke

but We asked: Do you think we should build a new multi-use community centre or renovate the community hall?

It’s probably cheaper to build a new one but I don’t know the

condition of the community hall... but then it might be

cheaper to renovate.

Tom MizeraSooke

I think we would be better to renovate the community hall. The funding probably isn’t there for a new building, if it was that would

be great.

Robert MartinSooke

I'm sentimental and I love the community hall. I understand

there are parking issues. I love that community hall, it typifies

Sooke.

Gail NashSooke

I think they should renovate the community hall. What’s a few

more dollars?

Community hall works

Thank you to Dick Momsen in regard to a seniors’ centre. We do have all that is needed in our community hall. If you want a seniors’ lounge that can be used every day, move into Ayre Manor or another facility that has its own meeting room.

The community hall from when it was built serves many groups for which we should be thankful.

We seniors do not expect to be catered to just because we are “seniors.” Young peo-ple know how to share, so let’s learn from them.

Martha MooreSooke

Join the board

In response to Dick Momsen”s letter of Oct 8 in the Sooke News Mirror:

 Sooke Seniors’ Drop in Center will be hold-ing its AGM on Dec. 11, 2014 in the dining room of the Community Hall.

We need to fill six director positions at that time. 

I invite Mr. Mom-sen to consider joining the executive as a new director to experience first hand the chal-lenges, and long volun-teer hours of hard work put in by very dedicated seniors to improve the quality of life of as many seniors as we can.  He may then know of what he speaks.

issuesIn my humble opin-

ion, Gail Hall is mis-taken on the issues that she raised. 

First, a private resi-dence club can be any club of private residences, unless and until it becomes a defined term with a specific definition to the contrary. 

Second, the over-whelming majority of cottages contain two or even three separate suites, and are not lim-ited to ‘single families’. 

Third, in many cases separate owners pur-chase individual floors, so we often have two or three owners who each own a half or third of a cottage, which is a frac-tion of the building. 

And fourth, these cottage suites are all part of the lodge and can be rented out on an overnight basis. 

These lodge cot-tages and yacht suites are zoned much differ-ently than single-family home neighbourhoods which typically pro-hibit short-term rental.    

 Michael ThorntonSilver Spray

Keep cats at home

Whether it is the 12 awol cows in East Sooke or the black cat hit on Church Road, the letter writers did what they could to intervene. The issue is more than the taking of initiative to deal with the animals at risk. All 13 munici-palities from Sooke to North Saanich are con-tracted with CRD Ani-mal Control to deal with “any animal unlawfully

running at large” Sec-tion 24b of bylaw as it relates to Sooke. In other words cats must be on the property of their owners.

As a society we seem to have been condi-tioned to deal with the problems of house cats coming and going at will.  Some of the prob-lems created by people letting their pets/cats go around the neigh-borhood are: feces in other people’s gar-dens and yards posing health risks to children and pregnant women; an average kill of 100 birds a year each, early morning cat fights trig-gering early wake ups and dogs barking in response.

On a personal level this has resulted in me

being unable to use one-quarter of my back-yard as the smell does not go away and hav-ing to garbage outdoor pillows which were not cleanable.

While the choice to get a cat sometimes relates to deterring mice, all the more rea-son to keep the cat at home. The good news is that there is invisible fencing for cats now. I hope our CRD will get busy educating before fines and impound-ing occurs but its time for cat owners to be responsible and stop being oblivious to the damage their cats do.

If you love your cat why would you not want to double its life-time and keep it safe and be a good neigh-bour.

ThanksgivingHmm. Whom do we thank, and what do we thank Him, Her, It, Them for? Life happens. We don’t get to choose our parents; we don’t get to choose our nationality; we don’t choose the stage of evolution we’re born into, nor the state of Nature during our lifetime.

All that comes as grace (“gratis”- freely given, not earned), or as challenge. Leonard Cohen got it right in “Come Healing”: “and none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace.”

Sure, we live in an imperfect world, and sure, we’ve got this yearning to make it better: so what are the possibilities?

Nature is suffering at our collective hands, and some of our leaders are ignoring this fact. But Thanks! – our municipal council is giving us an opportunity to raise our voice in a referendum.

There are some struggling to stand up and walk in our society, but Thanks! The M’akola Society and St. Vincent de Paul Society creatively combined with local, regional, provincial, and national resources are providing housing support, and connections to wider enabling services.

Sure, salmon stocks have been severely damaged by past over� shing. But Thanks! To the Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society for using local waters and skilled volunteers to help re-stock this region’s � sheries.

It happens (you can � ll in the missing parts). But it is not the last word. It can become a fertile resource for creative activity. Isaiah had it right: “As the rain and snow come down (funny how we think of these as inconvenient and negative), and do not return until they make the earth fertile and fruitful, giving bread to the one who eats, and seed to the one who sows, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth (think of the rules of nature that we have violated to its detriment and ours), it shall not return to me void, but shall achieve the end for which I sent it.” But it’s up to us, using our God-given wits to bring about this creative change. That’s the challenge that makes our life worthwhile. Thanks, Creator, for the opportunity.

Round 1 of LISA cup took place this weekend for all 11 a- side teams except the U17/18 boys who con-tinue their league play.

• U17/18 boys played JDF Sunday morning and with an unexpected slow start, the boys found their legs  after being awarded a PK from the spot with a

beautifully placed shot from Jake Dyer.

After that they kept their foot on the gas pedal and followed that up with another goal from Dyer, three from Ayden Ostropol-ski, Cort  Harrison and Ben Holmes adding singles to round out the scoring. The shut-out bid shared by Kyle

Rodd and James Marx in goal was spoiled by a late PK from the spot awarded to JDF.

After the first round of five games, the boys are 5-0 with 34 goals for and 5 against. The defence continues to stand tall.

Coach Glenn Har-rison

• Sooke U16 Boys

dominated Cowichan 7-0 in first round of LISA cup.

Goals from Tie Boake, Taylor Cum-mings, Hagen Harold, a Hat trick from Matthew Miller, assists from Chris Berkeley, Hagen Harold, and Toren Har-

Lisa Cup action for Sooke

With a split in a two game exhibition series, the Spartans were back in the saddle “Friday night lights” in Ladysmith.

They were taking on the Fair-view Cowboys of Nanaimo. With the ball on our 3-yard line and the Cowboys poised to strike

in  our end-zone, our favorite d-lineman Spencer “I stole the ball” Logan did just that again-twice in two game, after which Tyson “T-Bone Boyd launched a 30-yard pass to Carter “the Flash” Price who then ran 70 yards beating tackles and scor-

ing our first t.d. of the game! Next possession Cow-

boys scored. Defence played incredibly anchored by Logan and Jacob LaMontagne, Sam Lowden, Hunter Nicks, Garett MacClean, Carlos, Ben Power, Owen Cheng and Will Gor. Next

half with us throw-ing for an incredible 150 yards total pass-ing T-Bone Boyd con-nected with Ben power on a 23-yard pass and a 32-yard run scoring his first offensive t.d. of the season.

Power also caught a 6-yard hitch for the extra convert point.

Next possession saw “Flash” Price returned a punt for over 60 yards setting us up. We didn’t score and we ended up in a tie-13-13.

Awesome game by both teams. As a parent of a player and a coach for over seven seasons it’s with great pride that with no p.a. sys-

tem to sing “O Canada” our players stood in the middle of the field and sang it themselves.Much to the delight of the crowd!

Next game “redemp-tion in Cowichan.”

rison.  Congratulations to Bobby Nex on out-standing goalkeeping and getting a shut out.

• U16 Girls won 3-1 over Cowichan in Round 1 of Lisa Cup.  Goals by Mariyha Dunn-Jones, Xayla Westgate and Cassidy Childs.

• Our U-15 boys took a commanding lead with their first LISA cup round, Lautaro Cepeda playing attacking mid-field opened up the scoring early in the first half. Right hand striker Andrew Rodd not to be out done fired a beauti-ful shot into the Gorge’s net from the 18 yard box 10 mins later. Riley Carter playing right mid-field gained an attack-ing role and shot from

the centre of the box to make it 3 to 0 finishing off the the first half.

Second half Gorge scored from a lofted ball beating our GK who made the mistake of playing too far out from Sooke’s goal, just could not recover in time. However, Andrew not satisfied with one goal attacked the Gorge net from inside the 18 yard box, five minutes left to play Lautaro playing left striker in this half made a beau-tiful shot that crossed Gorge’s goal line to fin-ish the game with a 5 - 1 final!

Coach Rob Oyler• U14 Girls fought

a tough battle against Saanich Fusion and unfortunately lost 2-0 so they have been elim-

inated from LISA cup.  It wasn’t without a solid effort by all players who had to play most of the game without subs in the unexpected hot sun. 

Shout out to their defense line Geor-gia Jackson, Sarah Lembcke, Sky Langdon, and Layla Martinez for stopping what may have been many more goals!

• U13 Girls won their first LISA Cup game vs Lakehill on Satur-day 2-0. Both goals scored by Jaylin Shaw with assists by Marin Clarkston and Brittney Homer.

• U9 Boys played JDF on Saturday and won 3-2. Goals were scored by Briar Chandler, Chase Waldie and Gage

Paquet. “The Dolphins” are a

U7/8  team that is play-ing very well, the girls are improving every game and should be unstoppable by the end of the season.

• Our last game against JDF was a shut out. Sophia Jonassen our new full-time goalie did not allow their team to score at times when they broke through the solid defensive wall that consisted of twins Lindsay and Sarah Pat-terson as well as Ruby Price and Sophie Con-stantinou.

The Dolphins scored many goals and it was hard to keep track of who scored the goals. 

Awesome and deadly striker action was pro-vided by Niya Clarkson

(who scored at least two goals), Xanthe Evans, Ruby Price and Mischa Bartlett.

Success would not have been realized without the relent-less midfield efforts of Shelby Hoffer and Annika Nielsen.

All in all an excellent team effort from a team that is rising to the top under coach Dennis Price.

Peter Jonassen Dol-phins manager

League schedules come out this week.  After seeding, all 11 a side teams were placed in Silver, with the pos-sibility of a couple to move up to gold.   Con-tinue to shine bright Soooooooooooooooke!

adept at maintaining a stoic outer appearance, but inside your emo-tions are churning. Find a healthy release and you will be glad you did.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, test the waters before you share a secret. This way you can get an idea of how a small group of people will react before you spread the word.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, use your natu-ral gift for diplomacy to resolve a conflict at work. It is easy to find common ground and steer the conversation toward a reasonable res-olution.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, grab some friends’ attention as you attempt to garner sup-port for a coming proj-ect. Once you have the floor, make the most of this opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, everything in your life seems to be in order. Now might be a great time to schedule some well-deserved rest and relaxtion with loved ones.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, listen to your sixth sense as it guides you in a par-ticular direction. Your instincts rarely steer you wrong. Resist the urge to follow what everyone else is doing.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

The first step toward change at work is to take the initiative, Aquarius. Once you make the decision to forge ahead, everything will fall nicely into place.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, don’t worry if you have to give up something you desire when negotiating with others. The chips will fall into place.

Annual Coho derby

Coho Salmon fishing in Sooke is great right now! Special thank-you to all the fishers who entered the 4th Annual Sooke Coho Derby held October 11 at Jock’s Dock. The derby is known for giving great prizes for the largest Coho weighed in dur-ing the one-day tour-nament, and for the proceeds from ticket sales going to the Juan de Fuca Restoration Society/Charters Creek Interpretive Centre. Annually fishers also donate whole Coho salmon to the Sooke Food Bank, for chances to win more prizes! This year volunteer fil-leter Dave Monyard estimated over 250 lbs of salmon was donated

to the food bank.Half of ticket mon-

ies collected went to the first prize of $2,620 which was awarded to local resident Ted Dawes for his 12 lb Coho salmon weighed in with his son Ryan

early in the day. The pair also took home $660 in other mon-ies. Second prize was a Coast Reel donated by Sea Legs Fishing Charters which was awarded to no stranger to the winner’s circle

Zack Homer, for an 11.2 lb Coho.

The rest of this year’s top 10 fish weights were rewarded with a trip up to the prize table to pick which ever prizes they wanted. Many prizes were then given away by drawing from donated fish tickets, regular derby ticket stubs, and finally a Texas style rush to the table to grab what was left!

The Sooke Harbour-side Lions were on site providing tasty hot-dogs and smokies for the crowd. The derby organisers would like to thank all the local spon-sors which donated prizes and posted posters of the event to help spread the word. Thank you to all who participated by donat-ing and fishing.

Musician inpsired by Island lifeIt’s time once again

for the Sooke Folk Music Society’s monthly Cof-fee House, which hap-pens this Saturday evening, October 18 at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. This month our featured performer is young singer/song-writer, Jessica Benini, a West Coast Indie singer songwriter. She began her musical journey as an acoustic guitarist at age nine. Benini is a captivating artist and teacher with energetic personality, soulful mel-odies, rhythmic guitar playing and spontane-ous harmonica solos.

A graduate from Rosebud School of the Arts in Rosebud, Alberta, Benini trained as an actor and musi-cian for the stage. Being a musician for Rosebud Theatre enabled her to develop her voice and guitar styles by performing a variety of genres of music such as; musical theatre, English and Irish folk music, pop, bluegrass, country, roots and gos-pel. She was selected among 50 other art-ists around the world to participate in the

Canadian National Voice Intensive at UBC in Vancouver and also spent time in London, Latvia, and New York taking workshops and preparing herself to be an authentic perform-ing artist.

One of her favou-rite gigs is teaching and songwriting. She is a voice, guitar and songwriting instruc-tor at Larsen School of Music, where she is able to guide her stu-dents through their own practice of being an authentic and genu-ine performer.

Benini released her first album “Express Yourself” in 2010, a col-

lection of songs that reflect the journey of self-discovery and encourage the continu-ation of chasing the unattainable. She has recently completed her second album, which was recorded at Hipposonic, Profile and Mushroom Stu-dios in Vancouver. “No Regrets” showcases the freedom alongside the challenges of taking the road less travelled.

Jessica Benini is a transparent artist and observing soul that comes alive when she plays her heart out. She loves the Island life how gently everything moves and breathes.

Being a musician on Vancouver Island, she feels understood, free, playful and inspired. Her main goal and prac-tice in life is to play pub-licly without apology.

Benini is an incred-ibly talented singer songwriter, who cap-tivates her audience. You will not want to miss hearing Jessica this Saturday evening, October 18. It happens at Holy Trinity Angli-can Church, 1962 Mur-ray Road. Doors open at 7pm with our open stage at 7:30 and our feature at 9.

CHAMBER CHATTERThe Chamber Mission: Member Driven Leadership

Delegates at a recent national conference of chamber executives were asked what they perceived as the real purpose of a chamber. Most agreed that while the first mission is to provide their members with support, advice and a positive business environment, the best way to achieve those goals is through lead-ership at the commu-nity level that impacts all citizens and busi-nesses, whether cham-ber member or not.

That statement fits very well with the com-mitment of the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce. Over the past two years, direct services to members have been enhanced with greater oppor-tunities for learning, improved communi-cations and by main-

taining such things as member fees.

At the same time the chamber has worked hard on the larger issues of community advocacy and lead-ership. These initia-tives include creation of a Newcomers Club so that new arrivals are aware of the wide range of business ser-vices available to them; launch of the Better Buy Sooke campaign to sup-port shopping locally; working with the Dis-trict and the tourism community toward a Hotel Guest Fee which would generate signifi-cant funds for tourism and conference promo-tion; and the creation of the Sooke Town Centre Design Guidelines to establish new design standards that will ulti-mately provide a much

more attractive and walkable town centre.

In the coming weeks as Sooke focuses on the candidates for a new mayor and council, the chamber will also be hosting an “All Can-didates Q&A Meeting” (November 4) which will be open to the pub-lic and free of charge. It is critical for every-one to be engaged, to come out and vote, and to help shape the future leadership at the municipal government level.

There are many more ongoing initiatives the chamber is involved with that benefit every-one in Sooke, and with the Chamber’s Annual General Meeting approaching in Decem-ber it is important to continue having dedi-cated business leaders come forward to serve on the Board of Direc-tors, and participate in the positive develop-ment of the community as a whole.

The coming chal-lenges and opportuni-ties are many, and they all ultimately impact the success of our busi-

ness community, the liveability by Sooke’s residents, and the attraction of visitors to our town and surround-ing areas.

The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce encourages any inter-ested parties to contact the Chamber office at 250-642-6112 or [email protected] for additional details on our initia-tives as well as oppor-tunities to serve on the Board of Directors.

Operated as a not-for-profit associa-tion, the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce needs your support and encourages you to consider the many benefits available as a member:

• Substantial health, dental, medical & insur-ance coverage;

• Valuable marketing exposure;

• Incredible mer-chant services dis-counts;

• Accessibility to important business coaching, education, information & counsel-ing services;

• Unified voice.

BC Youth Parliament

seeking membersThe British Colum-

bia Youth Parliament is after 95 fine young men and women to visit Vic-toria this Christmas, debate important ser-vice projects to benefit the youth of the prov-ince, and put those plans in place in 2015.

For the next three weeks, BCYP is call-ing on community and youth leaders across the province to nominate exceptional young peo-ple to take part in this important opportunity.

“BCYP is education and community service in action,” says Darya Ali, Premier for BCYP.

“We’re looking for young people who want to learn more about our system of government, make life-long friends, and take part in proj-ects that benefit our province’s youth.”

BCYP plans, fund-raises for, and puts in place service projects that help improve the lives of young people.

BCYP members spend time at the BC Legislature in Victoria between Boxing Day and New Years Day every year to debate and vote on the orga-nization’s proposed activities and issues of local, national, and international impor-tance. All members sit as independents, and are free to vote accord-ing to their conscience on the issues.

Potential BCYP mem-bers will be:

• Between 16 and 21 years of age;

• Residents of the province for the past year;

• Able to commit to a year’s worth of service; and

• Interested in learn-ing more about how our democratic system works.

More information and membership appli-cations are available on-line at www.bcyp.org. deadline is Octo-ber 29th.
