Sooke is being asked to help fund a new economic development agency, which would “sell the region.”
A recent summit, hosted by the Greater Victoria Development Agency, pitched the idea of creating a new economic body which would include and receive funding from all 13 Greater Victoria municipalities.
The existing Greater Victoria Economic Development Agency is associated with the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce and receives funding from Victoria, Saanich and other groups, with an annual operating budget of about $180,000.
By contrast, the new organization is projecting an annual operating budget of about $700,000.
Coun. Rick Kasper was the only political representative from Sooke who attended the summit, and was enthusiastic about the proposal.
“It was a bit of an eye-opener for me. I thought it was a very good event,” Kasper told district council.
“It clearly pointed out to me that we should seriously be considering a regional approach.”
More than 60 per cent of Sooke’s workforce is not employed within the community and commute to other parts of the region to work.
Mayor Maja Tait said economic development is fragmented throughout the region.
“The reason I support the concept is because it keeps our residents employed,” she said.
“The reality is a lot of our workforce has to commute to another municipality for work. I’d rather them continue to do that as we build our own commercial tax base as opposed to them having to go to the [Alberta] oilsands and be out of province to find work.”
Under the GVEDA proposal, each community would pay to operate the economic agency based on a five-year fixed funding formula of a 50/50 blend of per capita (2011 census) and a percentage of total tax collected in dollars.

As Capital Region District taxpayers reach for their wallet to pay for another tax increase next year, Sooke’s representative on the board warns of an ever-increasing “budget creep.”
“I’ve seen this growth of add-on type services that have come to the region because a lot of municipalities just don’t want to fund it themselves,” said Coun. Rick Kasper.
Recently, the CRD board approved a Safe Route to School program initiated by the metro municipalities. A similar program was created in Sooke in the 1990s,
but local taxpayers will now have to help fund the regional program too.
“They fly these things at the regional board table, lobby other municipalities to add on and start imposing services because they have more votes. It’s budget creep,” Kasper said.
CRD directors gave preliminary
approval last week to a $217-million operating budget (excluding the regional hospital district and the regional housing corporation). It includes a $1.94-million hike in the amount of property taxes to be collected.
The increase in taxes will see Sooke residents pay about $12.87 next year, a 2.9 per cent increase, while Juan de Fuca ratepayers will see a -4.06 per cent decrease, amounting to a savings of $17.65.
Juan de Fuca electoral director Mike Hicks said while on paper it looks like big savings for local ratepayers, it will depend on where they live. The CRD budget covers six communities within the Juan de Fuca boundary.
“We’ve reduced where we could,” Hicks said.
Tax increases will likely be seen in East Sooke, with the construction of a new fire hall and Otter Point where the fire department needs money for building maintenance.
In Sooke, the majority of the CRD budget goes towards the operation of the SEAPARC Leisure Complex ($2 million). The municipality is also earmarked for a $1.6 million-grant for a new artificial turf field.
“Most of the services we pay for have been in place for many, many years,” Kasper said. “What you see is what you get.”
The CRD’s revenue comes from
a variety of sources, including sale of services, user fees, grants and property taxes. Overall proposed budget operating expenditures for 2016 are down about $707,000 from 2015, largely due to decrease in debt servicing costs and a reduction in capital funding, according to a staff report.
Capital projects include increases to the regional parks budget, housing, health infrastructure, improvements in drinking water and sewer systems.
The CRD will seek public feedback on the budget with final approval expected in late March.

Sooke council will create a fire services commission to oversee the long-term planning of the fire department.
In September, council delayed awarding a contract for a fire department review, and instead pushed the review to its long-term financial planning committee for further study.
The new commission will conduct “long-term capital planning [with] high level overview,” according to a staff report.
Fire department operations will remain with the fire chief.
Under the B.C. Community Charter, a commission can administer and operate a municipal service, including the management of budgets without having to come to council to expend funds.
The commission is expected to have three members who have fire department experience. Commission members will receive an annual honourarium of $2,500.

Almost 25 years since it was first created, the Capital Regional District is pledging to finish the Trans-Canada Trail.
The trail project was launched in 1992 as a way to connect the country for hikers, bikers or paddlers.
The trail will cut across Sooke linking with the Vancouver Island Spine Trail and the Cowichan Valley Regional District trail system.
The new trail will begin at the Humpback
Reservoir in the Sooke Hills Wilderness Regional Park Reserve and end at the CRD-CVRD boundary.
CRD planner Carolyn Stewart said there is the potential for the trail to link with other regional trails in the future.
The goal is to have the trail finished both in the CRD and across Canada in time for the country’s 150th birthday in 2017.

District of Sooke council will hold a public hearing to consider rezoning a 4.2-hectare residential lot to a proposed Wadams Way Comprehensive Development Zone.
The property is located at 2182 Church Rd.The rezoning would allow for a maximum of
133 residential unit that could range from single family, duplex, apartment building, assisted living facility, cluster dwellings or townhouses.
In a report to council Monday, municipal staff said the property owners intent is not to develop the land, but to create flexibility to allow for a future developer of the land to adapt to market conditions.
The applicants – Hugh Wadams and John Peter Cook – have offered a package of amenities to the municipality, which includes an affordable housing contribution and a roundabout at
Throup and Church roads.Sooke has done previous comprehensive
development zoning in the past at Sun River, Sooke Point and Stoneridge.
Coun. Rick Kasper said there are no guarantees the applicants will be successful in the rezoning.
“The only thing I get leery of is someone coming back who’s going to buy it and then want more concessions, like higher zoning or whatever because they say they paid too much for the property,” Kasper said.
The proponents do not wish to develop the site and do not have a development plan for the property. They do, however, wish to provide more flexibility than a conventional zone, in order for a future owner or developer to more easily adept to market conditions over time, said the staff report.
“I can appreciate the family doesn’t want to be in the development business. They want to get the highest invest value for their property,” Kasper said.
No date has been set for the public [email protected]

Only a few Sooke homeless people have been sent to out-of-town shelters to get out of the wet and cold, says the coordinator of the Victoria Extreme Weather Protocol.
The region’s extreme weather protocol has been activated three times this fall, including twice last week due to fierce winds and rains.
“In the past, we had a shelter in Sooke, but people weren’t using it,” said Jen Wilde, coordinator of the Victoria Extreme Weather Protocol.
The temporary shelters are available from now until March 31, when the community issues an extreme weather alert.
Communities decide what weather warrants an alert and how many spaces to make active on a given night, depending on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need.
These spaces supplement the 150 permanent, year-round shelter beds in Greater Victoria.
Most of these shelters are open 24/7 and provide three meals a day.
Wild said only a few people in Sooke have taken advantage of the temporary shelters.
The program works locally through the Sooke Crisis and Referral Centre which arranges the homeless to travel to Victoria. Others, who refuse to leave, are offered tarps, tents, sleeping bags, mats, jackets and even socks.
Generally, homeless do not stay in Sooke over the fall and winter, preferring to
stay in the downtown core where services are available.
“They definitely would stay in Sooke if they could … if the services were here,” said Philip Bulled, a Sooke Crisis Centre representative.
Bulled pointed out there are only a few “true homeless” people living in the Greater Sooke area, but there are many who couch surf or find others forms of accommodation.
“Homelessness is a very complex issue,” he said.
Wilde said most of the region’s homeless head to the Victoria core because of the services offered – shelter, meals and health services – but some do fall through the cracks.
“It becomes a bit of a challenge to keep tabs on people,” she said.
“If there is ever a situation where people have a concern about someone, I would encourage them to phone me.”

The B.C. government has presented three possible designs for a new interchange at Highway 1 and McKenzie Avenue north of Victoria, which Transportation Minister Todd Stone has called the worst traffic bottleneck in B.C.
Stone said there will be extensive consultations with residents on the options for the new interchange, but the intent is to have “shovels in the ground” by late 2016 and the interchange open by the fall of 2018.
In conjunction with the West Shore Parkway project through Langford, the new interchange should “go a long way” to eliminating what south Vancouver Island commuters have come to know as the “Colwood crawl,” Stone said.
The project will include separate bus lanes and a separated path for the Galloping Goose cycling and hiking trail.
The ministry is confident all three options can be built within the $85 million budget of the project, and a fourth option could be considered if public input indicates that it is needed. The provincial and federal government announced funding in July, with $52.4 million from the
province and $32.6 million from the federal government.
The proposed designs can be viewed online at: engage.gov.bc.ca/mckenzieinterchange.

The District of Sooke is closely watching a plan to permit homeless people to overnight in parks.
The proposal is at the request of the City of Victoria and requires the CRD to amend its parks bylaws.
The motion comes in response to a landmark decision made by the B.C. Supreme Court last month in which Justice Christopher Hinkson struck down the City of Abbotsford’s bylaw prohibiting sleeping in public space between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. and the city’s request for a permanent injunction against homeless camping.
“I conclude that the effect of denying the city’s homeless access to public spaces without permits and not permitting them to erect temporary shelters without permits is grossly disproportionate to any benefit the city might derive from furthering its objectives and breaches (section) 7 Charter rights of the city’s homeless,” the ruling states.
“The needs for those who are truly homeless in
the city are immediate.”In Sooke, acting mayor Kevin Pearson said the
issue is something all municipalities will face in B.C. “I don’t think Sooke’s going to be immune to it,” he said.
Sooke does not allow overnight camping in parks.
Victoria Coun. Geoff Young, who put forward the motion, said municipalities such as Sidney, Saanich and Oak Bay do not permit overnight camping in parks.
“I think is it important that all municipalities should adjust their bylaws, partly to relieve the burden on our camps,” Young said.
“We know that there is some camping in other municipalities and I expect there to me more if other cities do let them.”
Pearson said while homelessness is not a big issue in Sooke, people do camp in various locations around the municipality.
“I don’t know if we have a homeless problem, but we do have people without homes,” he said.
Senior levels of governments have to come up with a proactive plan to address the root cause of homelessness, Pearson said.

They Said It
Our View
Musings and meditations on a cool Wednesday morning.
JUMPING THE GUN … OK, so they got ahead of themselves.
While members of Sooke council along with provincial government rep MLA Jordan Sturdy were busy patting themselves on the back for the “completion of the Brownsey Boulevard roundabout and town centre improvements” last week, construction crews were busily working around them.
Paving on the project wasn’t completed until last Friday and much
of the ancillary work is still in various stages of completion.
It made for a good photo op, though.
•••FIEFDOM COUNTING … Now
that the amalgamation czar has told those other municipalities in Greater Victoria they must do it alone, perhaps there’s no better opportunity to talk of an amalgamation of another sort – one that could help Sooke.
It’s time to look at a regional police force and fire department. It wouldn’t
be as difficult as one would imagine.In fact, the region already has a
regional police force in the RCMP and there are detachments in most of Greater Victoria communities.
Sooke RCMP routinely calls on help from neighbouring detachments and reciprocates when assistance is needed elsewhere.
There are also services provided by the provincial and federal RCMP divisions which aid in everything from major crimes to counter-terrorism.
Fire departments wouldn’t be that
big of a shift, either. Most already have mutual aid agreements. And, quite frankly, it could just be a matter of changing all the fire trucks to the same colour.
Of course, the stumbling block is always about protecting your fiefdom and unless the partners can agree, it won’t happen.
■ We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to [email protected]. Letters must include daytime phone number and your name.
A round and around we go … well, almostWE SAY: A photo op that jumps the gun and counting fiefdoms.

The reality is a lot of our workforce has to commute to another municipality for work.
We tied or lost by one or two goals every game and miraculously ended up winning gold in the District Cup finals.

Kevin LairdEditor
Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake were gleeful as elves at Christmas when they announced they were opening up the purse strings to extend operating hours for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines in hospitals and clinics.
Lake said he wished the ministry had acted sooner on what has been a long-standing concern of doctors and health authorities. “The radiologists have certainly been letting us know about it,” he said.
The extra scans should start to show up by year’s end, and once the increase reaches $20 million a year in 2019, there should be 45 per cent more procedures done than the current rate.
Still the province prefers to ignore Sooke’s legitimate complaints on the growing lack of medical diagnostic services here.
For years, district council has had concerns over health-care quality, timeliness and availability.
The biggest beef, but not the least, is the lack of adequate x-ray facilities.
The currently facility, run by a private company, only operates one day a week for two hours.
The equipment is so outdated that doctors tell their patients not to book an appointment there, but go to Victoria General Hospital in View Royal or St. Anthony’s Treatment Centre in Langford.
The x-ray facility is only part of the problem.
Sooke needs more doctors, but can’t attract any physicians without a larger clinic.
Then there’s the lack of medical programs for youth and women. Women who have been diagnosed with at-risk pregnancies must go to either the West Shore or Victoria to see a doctor. And Sooke’s ambulance response time lacks well behind other Greater Victoria jurisdictions.
Sooke is considered part of Greater Victoria, a metro area. The bureaucrats don’t believe we’re isolated because we’re within 28 kilometres of a major medical centre.
They should have traversed windy Sooke Road last week when heavy rains and winds flooded the roadway and backed traffic up for hours.
Local politicians have spoken long and hard, but to deaf ears.
The municipality has offered to fundraise for proper x-ray facilities, but to no avail.
The Health Ministry is stuck in its own red tape and powerless – or unwanting – to fix the problem.
It seems overly simplistic that if the private operator can’t provide adequate service, it should be asked to leave or lose its billing licence.
Lack of common sense and will is at play here. It’s too bad it puts peoples health at risk

Roundabout rules need to be followed
To the person in the dark SUV – please familiarize yourself with the rules governing our new traffic circle.
While in the roundabout, don’t go changing the well-advertised rules, or inventing new rules, to suit your misguided need to be polite.
Cars already in the traffic circle have the right of way ahead of those waiting to enter, and cars moving within the roundabout are not allowed to stop.
Motioning toward a waiting vehicle that it should advance into a space you’ve created (by stopping!) contradicts the existing rules on how to navigate through a traffic circle.
The posted speed limit is 30 km/h, there are no stop signs within the roundabout.
Attempting to bend or change existing rules can only lead to confusion, chaos and possibly a collision.
Please go online to sooke.ca/wp-content/uploads/Roundabout.pdf to view simple to follow rules and a diagram of what everyone else in Sooke is doing … except you.

More needed to help world’s poor
More than 60 years ago the United Nations established Nov. 20 as Universal Children’s Day, a day where the rights and needs of children everywhere are acknowledged.
By all measures the world has done an incredible job at improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable, but of course much remains to be done.
Sadly, Canada cannot take much credit for this, because we have long lagged behind all other major developed nations in our commitment to foreign aid, as a proportion of GDP.
With the election of
the Trudeau government many Canadians hope for a significant improvement in Ottawa’s sense of social responsibility, at home and abroad.
But past Liberal governments began Canada’s steep decline in aid, a trend that only worsened under the Conservatives. Canada’s aid is parsimonious, barely one third of it’s publicly declared goal of .7 per cent of GDP.
Improving Canada’s standing in the world has been one of Justin Trudeau’s stated goals during the election, and this Universal Children’s Day is a great opportunity for him to show that this was not mere electioneering, and at last increase aid funding for the world’s most vulnerable children.

You can’t put a price on safety
One of the most important services we can have in emergencies is telephone service.
But last week’s storms and power outages have shed light on an aspect of emergency response systems which is dangerously lacking: access to landline telephones.
In recent years, many people have chosen to “bundle” their
telephone, cable/satellite, and Internet services in an attempt to economize without realizing or taking into account that by giving up their landlines, they are giving up the ability to call an ambulance, the fire department, the police/RCMP, family, neighbours, and so on, during a power outage.
I wonder if these emergency responders are aware of this situation, and if emergency response teams throughout rural communities like Shirley, Jordan River, Port Renfrew, Otter Point, East Sooke, and so on, are taking this problem into consideration when they create their plans.
Shirley was without power for two days, and even though our wifi was on, the Internet didn’t work without electricity. We have a landline so we had telephone service and could call B.C. Hydro for updates on when the power would be restored, and could call anyone and anywhere we liked.
The idea of being completely cut off is very scary, and we have always had a landline.
I encourage “bundle” customers to contact their service companies and demand telephone service during emergencies; if this fails, please reconsider having a landline. I don’t think you can put a price on your safety.

On the Sooke Region Museum grounds there are two shacks located across from each other called the Polemaker’s Shack and the Maclure Shack. Both of these shacks have exhibits inside and are open during the summer months. In the off season, we are able to accomplish repairs, maintenance and artifact inventory tasks.
The Polemaker’s Shack was donated by the Ken Collins family and moved to the museum by the Sooke Lions Club in 1988. It sits on top of logs and inside there are two adjoining rooms: the stables and the polemaker’s accommodation. A teamster doing polecutting work would have shared this shack with a horse or two. Once a road was put through the forest, polecutters were the first on the scene felling the tall slender poles before the actual logging got underway.
The Polemaker’s Shack was first used during the 1930s at the Deerholme CNR railway stop. Then it was hauled over the Malahat to G.E. Bernard’s operation at Point No Point. While this portable shack was at Point No Point it housed a 2,200-pound coal-black Percheron horse named Roy. Before the structure was moved to the museum, it was stored near Saseenos School on the Collins’ property.
There are more than 260 artifacts in this shack and several Sooke Region Historical Society photographs. All of the artifacts on display represent the daily life of a polemaker or an outdoorsman prior to the Second World War. For example inside the shack are tin and aluminum kitchen ware, horse brushes, fishing rods, lanterns, tobacco tins, boots and Stanfield sweaters. Also present are lots of tools and equipment such as saws, axes, tree plates and horse harnesses.
Opposite of the Polemaker’s Shack is the Maclure Shack, which was donated by
the Robinson family of East Sooke in the early 1990s. In the late 1920s British-born Capt. James Edward Radcliffe and his wife purchased a large tract of forest land and commissioned
the famous Victoria architect Samuel Maclure to design their main house. Although this utility building was not designed by Samuel Maclure, it housed the estate’s Chinese cook. Due to
this connection, it has been identified as the Maclure Shack since its move to the museum.
When the Maclure Shack was moved from East Sooke to the museum it needed a lot of restoration. The structural underpinnings needed to be strengthened and a beetle infestation needed to be addressed. Inside the shack are three separate rooms. Two of the rooms are unused and one room houses an exhibit detailing the history of East Sooke.
One of our exhibit maintenance goals in 2016 is to update all photographs and signs for the two shacks. We also hope to update the existing exhibit in the Maclure Shack and add more displays to the additional rooms.

$50,000 needed to sponsor family for yearOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
There’s no doubt the flames and carnage unfolding in Syria and the Middle East have engulfed the world in sadness, panic, and helplessness.
It’s certainly the case for the countless Syrians who’ve abandoned their ancestral home in search of a better life. The federal government’s promise to bring 25,000 refugees to Canada will give communities across Canada an opportunity to give a Syrian family a new home.
Local organizations have started their own committee that’s working towards bringing a Syrian family here.
The effort is a partnership between local churches and the community, led by Syd Jorna, who formed the Sooke Region Refugee Sponsorship Committee under the auspices of Saint Rose of Lima.
The Anglican Diocese is the administrative umbrella for these kinds of organizations, as they have a formal relationship with the Canadian government.
“We hope to raise the money and have people help to bring a refugee family to the Sooke region and look after them for a year,” Jorna said. “We want people to feel positive about this and to contribute.”
Volunteers will help the family deal with language and cultural barriers, as well as supply a suitable living space and food, and aid it in its journey to adapt in a new world.
“It will be a significant project for Sooke to take on,” Jorna said, adding the sponsorship committee, once integrated, hopes to raise $50,000 to sponsor a Syrian family for one year.
Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich MP Randall Garrison said he supports the government’s attempts
to meet its goal of 25,000 refugees by year’s end, but the community needs to be involved.
“I don’t see a reason why refugees couldn’t be accommodated in any part of my riding, but I think what it will
take at this point is for members of the community to step forward,” he said.

It’s Coming!Christmas Day is one month away. The countdown has begun. My family has special plans this year around Christmas because for the � rst time in two decades my family has been living apart due to school
and employment. Songs like, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” take on a special meaning as they re� ect our longing of togetherness. We’re all anticipating coming together over the holidays. In the liturgical calendar of the church the � rst Sunday of Advent is November 29th this year. Advent is a word that means “coming”, and speci� cally refers to the coming of Jesus to earth as an infant, celebrated on Christmas Day each year. Advent is about celebrating and anticipating his coming. There are four Sundays of Advent leading up to Christmas and each Sunday typically has a theme upon which to help build a sense of anticipation – hope, peace, joy, love – attributes that seem to be in short supply in our world. The person of Jesus is the embodiment and ful� llment of these attributes which is why his coming is so widely celebrated nearly two millennia after his birth. Though different faith traditions have various ways of observing advent, the coming of Jesus is the central focus. Jesus’ ancestors anticipated his arrival for thousands of years. Followers of Jesus today try to connect with that historic sense of anticipation as well as live in anticipation of the ful� llment of his promise to come again. May this Advent be a season hope, peace, joy, and love for you and your loved ones.

Sooke History
Elida PeersContributed
These 19 kids, with perhaps a couple of absentees, formed the enrolment of Shirley School in 1940. Pioneer family names will be recognized here.
Rear, we have Freddie George then Clifford Payne, David Anderson, Ronald Clark, Charlie Cross, Bill Milligan, George French and John and Allan Milligan. Front: Margaret Cross, Janie Cross, Loretta George, Jean George, Lorna Cross, Ruth Banner, Gloria Payne, Corinne Hawkes, Shirley Banner and Delores George.
Mr. Dixon was the teacher for the one-room frame school, which stood just a wee bit down on Sheringham Point Road, off West Coast Road, and had been built in 1916, long before the Shirley Community Hall was in place.
The four children pictured
here of the well-known George family, children of Eddie George and Daisy Planes, have one member still resident in Sooke today. She is Jean Whitford, mother of two former chiefs of the T’Sou-ke, Larry Underwood and Rose Dumont.
The Cross family, pioneers of the Sheringham Point area, is also represented here by four siblings; many will remember Lorna (later Mrs Hap Ross) who was a devotee of the Sooke Fall Fair. Her elder sister Margaret (later Mrs, Jesse Newell), lost her life many years later trying to save a patient in her care; her husband accepted the Star of Courage Medal presented to her posthumously by Governor General Jean Sauve in Ottawa in 1985.
The Milligan boys were sons of Jack, Norval, Dunbar and Bill Milligan, who along with their dad Jonathon Milligan ran Milligan’s Logging enterprise
of Shirley and Otter Point. The youngest son, Allan, came on a reminiscing visit to Sooke from North Vancouver not long ago. The Payne children were attending Shirley School because their dad was working at Boyd’s sawmill; we understand Gloria Payne Laberge is living in Langford today.
Ronald Clark was one of the children of Percy and Margaret Clark, Shirley pioneers; that generation is all gone now. Ruth and Shirley Banner, pictured, are daughters of Edwin and Frances Banner, a couple who not only raised a large family, had a long career with B.C. Electric and B.C. Hydro’s Jordan River operation, but had the distinction of being able to celebrate their 77th wedding anniversary.

As part of our 2014 Community Grants, ten grants totalling over a quarter million dollars were funded in the area of food security. They included projects to provide meals for vulnerable seniors and children, an initiative to preserve traditional First Nations food knowledge, and activities to increase the amount of fresh and local produce
available at food banks and schools.

Christmas is fast approaching and with it comes the need for the community’s generous support.
Every year the Sooke Christmas Bureau and the local community come together to provide everyone with enough groceries to have their own traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
The Christmas Bureau serves as an extension of the Sooke Food Bank.
The bureau expects to help approximately 320 families in Sooke even with the help of CFAX Santa’s Anonymous for some of the families.
As things stand, the food bank’s client numbers are already up more than 20 per cent over last year.
The District of Sooke also made a generous $7,000 grant, which will provide the Bureau with turkeys. Still needed items include soups, fish, fruits, vegetables, beans and tomato products (such as paste and sauce) as well as cereals, juice and other non-perishables.
The Christmas Bureau will have a float in the Santa Parade on Nov. 29 starting at 5 p.m., and anyone attending is encouraged to bring some food with them. Bureau members will collect the food and put it all on their float.
They will also collect cash if the load becomes too heavy to carry the food.
Sooke Fire and Rescue firefighters will be doing their food run on their lighted trucks which are always a joy to see on Dec. 12 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.
You can check out their location online at sooke.ca.
Since the kick off for the Christmas Bureau was last Friday, November 20, the goal is to ensure all Sooke residents including Port Renfrew all have what they need for a joyous, full Christmas day.
The goal is to reach $25,000 in cash donations, which was achieved last year
with the generous support of the Sooke community.
You can donate in a variety of ways, there are collection boxes around Sooke, and firefighters will soon be collecting in front of Sooke stores.
Those willing to pitch in can also mail a cheque to P.O. Box 983, Sooke, B.C. V9Z 1H9.

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
Sooke resident Peter Christenson always liked to work with his hands, giving in to his skills as a carpenter, but there was nothing in the middle to fill in between his job and his desire to play music.
Around 16 years ago, he finally found something that would bring the two worlds together: building staircases that become abstract pieces of landscape art on the side of a cliff, which later became known as Shoreline Design.
It’s one of the few jobs in the world that you start at the top and make your way down to the bottom, literally.
But while he doesn’t mind being vertical for most of the day, climbing mountains isn’t exactly what he does to relax.
“I’ll build you a staircase, but I’d much rather be in the studio playing music during my down time,” he said. In a sense, building the stairs is one dream that helps feed his other passion for music.
Christenson hopes to get more involved in the local music scene as well, considering he’s played nearly a dozen type of music instruments since he was a teenager.
And regardless if he’s holding a guitar or wood chisel, he’s managed to set himself apart as a craftsman.
It wasn’t without inspiration though.Having started as a dock builder in Georgian
Bay and Muskokas in Ontario, Christenson was first inspired by the idea when he was on a ferry heading over to Pender Island. He looked at the side of the Island, and thought, “Ah, what if I could do that?”
Fortunately, the niche caught on, as not many carpenters like hanging from a rope over a cliff to build a zigzag of stairs all the way to the bottom.
He’s also a Capricorn, which, given his ability to hang from sheer cliffs, has an ironic connection to the sign’s symbol, the mountain goat.
As he grew his business, he soon realized that it really took a mountain goat spirit to build such projects off of vertical drops straight down, even some that hang well over the edge.
“After the third guy called for a job with me, I asked him, what’s your sign? He said, Capricorn – I thought, come on in, give it a shot,” Christenson laughed.
There’s no room for mistakes either, like one staircase he built on Pender Island that hung over
a sheer 76-metre drop. “You wouldn’t want to forget your sandwich.”On average, he builds a staircase on a 12- to
15-metre bank in around 12 days, with an incline comfortable enough to accommodate anyone from a two year old to a 92 year old.
He also takes a more traditional way of building the staircase, using galvanized pipes deep into the rock as the foundation instead of concrete and rebar.
In the end, it’s all about doing something you like, Christenson pointed out, being living proof that art and creativity can come from just about anything, whether it’s a chord or a hammer.

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
No matter how much we try to figure it out, there is just something warm and magical in the twinkle of a string of colourful Christmas lights decorating a house, or a town centre.
And if you had a bad craving lately for some cheerful holiday spirit, well you’re in for a treat: the Sooke Santa Claus Parade is coming town.
Better yet, the parade which is Sunday (Nov. 29), will be in the evening – a first in years – starting at 5 p.m. and running until 6 p.m., so
Sooke residents will be able to get a first glimpse of the town’s new Christmas light decorations.
Organizers will assemble at Sooke Elementary School parking lot for decorated single vehicles as well as walking groups and line up along Sooke Road east of the school for large floats such as commercial
trucks and trailer floats. From there, they will march west along Sooke Road to the Royal Canadian Legion, where the District of Sooke will hold a special tree lighting ceremony.
“We want to light up Sooke,” said Aline Doiron, of the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce, organizers of the event.
She said the District of Sooke wants to feature the improvements of the downtown core including the decorative street lights.
Among the lead hands in the parade is the Sooke Christmas Bureau, Sooke Rotary, and Sooke Harbourside Lions, all of whom will have floats, complete with lighting.
Among the marchers will be Mike Thompson, the Sooke Lions Club treasurer, who also volunteers for the Sooke Food Bank.
He said even though the Lions don’t have a float, they’ll be helping the Christmas Bureau folk put theirs together, besides putting the face of the Sooke Food Bank out there.
“I’m already involved with the food bank, I just drag these guys along to walk for the food bank,” he said.
“We’re going to decorate the float, put lights on it, we’ll try to have the best lighted little trailer in the whole parade.”
The spirit of giving started early this year, after all, Sooke has become its own hot hub of fundraising activity. As such, Sooke Seahawks players collected money from fundraising through their football team with the goal to either buy food and bring it to the Sooke Food Bank, or provide a monetary donation every year – there will be 25 participants from the Sooke Seahawks in this year’s parade.
On the night-of, a detour route will be in place. From 4:45 to 6 p.m., Highway 14 will be closed from Church Street to Shields Road. To keep traffic moving along smoothly through town, traffic control personnel will be in place to assist, along with the Sooke RCMP at intersections.
Annual Santa Claus Parade coming to townChristmas season event will be held Sunday evening with town centre light up
Ho! Ho! Ho! n EVENT: Santa Claus Paraden WHEN: Sunday (Nov. 29), 5 to 6 p.m..n WHERE: Sooke Road, between Church Road and Shields Street
I’m already involved with the food bank, I just drag these guys along to walk for the food bank.

Sooke midget clubs suffer a pair of weekend losses
Kevin LairdSooke News Mirror
Sooke Thunderbirds made a dramatic comeback Sunday to beat the Nanaimo Clippers in the Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association Atom A Division.
Down 4-1 in the first period and 4-3 in the second, the Thunderbirds scored three goals with five minutes to play in the third to claim the victory 9-6.
So far this season, the Thunderbirds have proven they don’t travel well, and Sunday was no different as the club struggled in the first period before finding its legs in the second and cruising to the win in the third.
The Thunderbirds also played without their regular goaltender and used defenceman Logan Bainbridge.
“Logan played well,” said coach Mike Szadkowski
“It was a hard-fought game.”Szadkowski said his young
charges haven’t had problems scoring this year, but need to work on their defensive play.
“We’re trying to improve defensively and [the team] is finding out hard work in practice
pays off in games.”•••
Sooke’s Midget Female team travelled to the North Island over the weekend to play Tri-Port, but came home without a win.
Tri-Port, which includes players from Port Hardy, Port Alice and Port McNeill, beat Sooke 5-2 Saturday in a regulation game and 4-2 Sunday in an exhibition tilt.
Weekend goal scorers for Sooke included Alyssa Lloyd, Olivia Carello, Chevy Alexander and Desiree Cumming.
Hannah Berger played well between the pipes in what coach Peter Faulkner called a “very physical game.”
•••It was a tough weekend for the
Midget Thunderbirds too as they were blanked in two games – 4-0 against the Oceanside Generals and 3-0 in an away game Sunday versus the Cowichan Capitals.
The Thunderbirds again played short-handed, with one of their top defenceman – Kyle Berger – out with a knee injury.
“We just couldn’t get anything going offensively,” said coach Kevin Berger.
We had great [scoring] opportunities but we couldn’t get anything going.
“It was tough, really tough.”The Thunderbirds are home
Saturday with a game against the Nanaimo Clippers. Game time is 5 p.m.

The Sooke Wildcats remain undefeated and in first place after a 2-0 convincing win over Juan de Fuca in Lower Island Soccer League Girls U15 play on Saturday.
The two sides were scoreless after the first half with plenty of action back and forth.
Sooke came on strong in the second half with many opportunities and finally Alex Peters got a sweet pass from Addison Jarvis Scarpino.
Peters did her signature deke move to beat JdF’s defence and knocked in her first goal of the season.
With only 10 minutes left in the game, Shae Yates asked to switch to forward from left midfield. She got a nice pass from defender Brittney Vince, carried
the ball up the left wing and fired a rocket past the Juan de Fuca keeper.
Wildcats goalkeeper Ella Dennett who played well throughout the game, thwarting many Juan de Fuca opportunities, earned the shutout.
“It was a great team effort by all,” said coach Laura Lockhart.
Two weekends ago, the Wildcats played a U16 team from Bays, winning 2-1.
Sooke was down 1-0 in the first half but battled back totie it with Grace Bishop getting a pass back from forward Faith Knoles in the box.
Bishop one-timed the rolling ball and it went soaring through the air, nicking the crossbar and hitting the back of the net.
Five minutes later a ball popped out of a scramble in front of Bays goal to find rookie Marie Allen with a one time knock on the ball to have it roll past the Bays keeper.
“With six players scoring this it’s quite a difference from last season where we struggled all year to score,” Lockhart said.
“We tied or lost by one or two goals every game and miraculously ended up winning gold in the District Cup finals. It’s safe to say we are keeping our eyes on the prize this year.”
•••Sooke United ended
a three-game winless streak last weekend with a convincing 3-1 victory over the last place Bayside Tigers in Vancouver Island
Soccer League Division 2.
The Loggers record improved to 4-4-2, while the toothless Tigers dropped to 1-0-9.
Doug Armstrong, Ben McCullough and Daniel Bergerud scored for
Sooke. Kyle Cathcart replied for Bayside.
Next up for Sooke is a match against Lakers Black on Saturday in Saanich.
•••Sooke United
was shutout by the
Esquimalt Tritons 4-0 in Vancouver Island Soccer League 4B. Division
The loss leaves United in last place in the 4B Division.
Louis Philippe Desrochers, Matt
Wagner scored twice and Cody George and Louis Philippe Desrochers tallied one apiece to lead the Tritons’ offensive attack. James Poirier recorded the shutout.

From Page A1In Sooke’s case, the
muncipality would pay $2,500 in startup costs, $7,300 the first year of operation and another $16,422 in years two to five.
Tait sees the new economic development agency working to build the regional economy. Local chamber of commerces would be more service oriented, helping people find local “shopping experiences.”
“Over time we want Sooke to build a stronger commercial core for more local employment, but we still need to think of the people that are commuting everyday and that they have job security wherever they go in the region.”
Kasper said another benefit to a regional economic development agency is that it’s committed to examining all the municipalities’ official community plans and economic plans to develop a regional strategy.
Sooke council delayed a decision on the new economic development agency on Monday, and is expected to discuss it again at a special council meeting on Nov. 30.
New agency eyes building regional economy
Sooke council members have earmarked $29,516.50 to attend four conferences next year.
Last year council’s conference budget was $27,591.
Travel expenses for councillors to attend conferences are paid under the district’s council expense policy.
$29,500 earmarked for conventions
