Hydro supports camping at Jordan RiverHydro worked with community and CRD

Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

What started out as a nightmare for Jordan River residents has turned into a very fair and reasonable solu-tion, and for those who have enjoyed camping at Jordan River there is good news.

While BC Hydro is still encouraging resi-dents of Jordan River to sell their properties in their own time, they have re-assessed the risk and now support overnight camping.

“The residents can sell now to BC Hydro or later, their properties will not be expropri-ated,” said Mike Hicks, Regional Director for the Juan de Fuca Elec-toral Area.

In discussion with the Capital Regional District (CRD) and a third-party risk assess-ment expert, BC Hydro changed their previous stance on overnight camping at the popu-lar campsite along the shoreline. Hydro is prepared to commit $150,000 towards the cost of an emergency alarm or siren system

on the basis that the CRD will pay for its installation and mainte-nance.

The campsites were opened on Friday, May 15.

“We engaged a world expert on seismic risk from the Netherlands,” said Ted Olynyk, BC Hydro’s Manager for Community Relations for Vancouver Island. “There’s personal risk and there’s public risk,” said Olynyk, “We have the strongest (dam) in the system in the worst location.”

Olynyk said they worked really hard to get camping back at Jordan River and they still have the desire to purchase homes and property.

“We heard what the CRD said and what the public said and we worked with the com-munity,” said Olynyk.

Chris O’Riley, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for BC Hydro, said in a letter to the CRD, that they are continuing

their discussion for the purchase of the CRD’s non-waterfront lands in the evacuation area and the acquisition of a restrictive covenant prohibiting future resi-dential development on the waterfront lands within the evacuation area.

“It’s all great news,” said Hicks. “I give full credit to Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett and John Hor-gan (Leader of the Official Opposition)

for helping. The cards were laid out on the table and a responsible decision was made. It’s the way I hoped gov-ernment would work together.”

Also attending the meeting were BC Hydro President and CEO Jes-sica McDonald, CRD CAO Bob Lapham, as well as Chris O’Riley and Mike Hicks.

In December 2014, a seismic study was released stating the stability of the Jor-

dan River Diversion Dam was in danger of failure in the event of an extreme earth-quake.

Duck race

winnersThe winners are: The

lucky six people who won in the Harbour-side Lions Duck Race are: first Dhalia Tholke $1,000; Susan Bennett $500; Charnell Leblanc $400; Jacob Blaney $300; Laura Smith $200 and Linda James $100.

Congratulations to all of the winners, the money raises goes to help kids attend Camp Shawnigan and other charitable events.

Demolition noise

The land based demolition range at Bentinck Island will be in use 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily from Tuesday May 19 to Thursday May 21, 2015 and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday May 22, 2015.

Bentinck Island is located near Race Rocks in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Used as a terrestrial demolition range by the Canadian

Armed Forces local residents will likely be unaware of the activi-ties except on days when environmental conditions such as tem-perature, humidity and wind direction effect how far the sound will travel.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the potential envi-ronmental effects of Bentinck Island demoli-tions. Specifically, blast noise in the marine environment during land based demolitions is almost undetectable by acoustic equipment above that of other underwater back-ground sounds such as waves and marine life.

The public is reminded that no unau-thorized person may enter this area and tres-passing is prohibited.

Jazzercisedance party

Join us for a 60-min-ute cardio dance party!

Friday, May 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Sasee-nos elementary school.

$10 minimum dona-tion, 50/50 Raffle

All proceeds going directly to the Sooke Family Resource Soci-ety’s “Caring for Com-munities” Affordable Counselling Program.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the class running 7-8 p.m. Come early enough to check out the raffle prizes, get your name in on the draw and grab some 50/50 tickets.

Caring for Communi-ties is made up of Reg-istered Clinical Coun-sellors who give back to the community by offering sliding scale counselling outside of their regular practice. (i.e those with lower incomes, or no or lim-ited extended benefits). Going to see a private counsellor usually costs upwards of $100 per hour, and there is only free counselling for adults in Sooke if you are struggling with an addictions issue or have an urgent mental health concern – and

there are often waits for both.

Despite this sliding scale option, there are still those in our com-munity who would ben-efit from counselling who cannot afford to pay at all. We depend on donations to be able to offer these individu-als, couples, or families the ability to attend a few sessions free of charge. More info can be found here: www.sfrs.ca .

Cedar Grove Centre I 250.642.2226Ron KumarPharmacist/Owner

It is estimated that nearly 1 in 3 people will experience shingles in their lifetime, and the risk increases after the age of 50.

Shingles usually begins with a burning sensation, a mild itching or tingling or a shooting pain in a specific area of skin. A rash then appears and and blisters develop, which may be painful or itchy.

Zostavax. is recommended for the prevention of shingles and for immunization of individuals over 50 years of age.

We can administer the injection at the pharmacy.Talk to our pharmacy staff for more information and pricing.

Cat shelter issue pending

The SAFARS/Victoria Pet Food Bank & Feral Cat Rehabilitation Soci-ety (located in Sooke) approached coun-cil last Monday with a request to amend Bylaw 600 in order to allow a cat rescue facil-ity to operate in all zones of the district without any restric-tions. At the moment, the bylaw restricts owners to four cats (or pets) maximum on their property, unless the property in itself is zoned for commer-cial use and the facility operates as a kennel. No decision had been made however, and the matter was tabled until the next council meet-ing on May 25.

Seniors’ strata proposed

A staff report out-lined a proposal to cre-ate a seniors’ strata vil-

lage to allow amenities in the area such as a clubhouse and indoor/outdoor recreational area at in Area E Sun-river. The property is zoned CD2 and the proponant wishes to rezone to allow for the amenity building. There would be no commeri-cal use. The devel-opment site is 6.4 ha. and is presently zoned to accommodate 95 homes.

Residents con-cerned over Sun-

river green buffer

A Sunriver resident approached council with concerns regard-ing a green buffer - a belt of trees and wild bush - that separates his property, as well as others in the area - from the development of a new division. He stated this buffer of trees has “whittled away” and that soon it will all be gone.

Council, as well as the engineering depart-

ment responded to the matter by saying the green buffer property is protected and district-owned land that cannot be developed.

Council implemented a list of requirements and restrictions over this split of land after the district incorpo-rated in 1999, in order to protect the river’s edge.

Public boat launch back before

council

Decisions on the operation of the pub-lic boat launch will be brought back to council on May 25.

Since 2014 the boat launch has been oper-ated by a private busi-ness and revenue received was up con-siderably since 2103. In 2014-15 the revenue generated were $22,571 with 90 per cent going to the operator and 10 per cent to the district. The district had put in a parking meter, porta-potty at their cost, and

a fish cleaning station was added. The dis-trict still pays $4,740 in monthly operating costs. This means the district is running the boat launch at a loss.

Three options on the operation of the facility will be looked at includ-ing; the operation of the boat launch by the district; enter into a new agreement with 881301 BC Ltd. with a 50/50 split; or enter into a new agreement with the same terms.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair...

There’s something green happening at Pure Elements, and it’s getting stylists and cli-ents excited. The salon will now be re-purpos-ing its hair clippings for oil spill cleanup, while simultaneously diverting 95 per cent of its waste from landfill. The move means that the business is now a certified ‘Green Circle Salon’, and officially one of the greenest salons in the world.

“It used to be that we had no choice but to put our hair and foils and colour tubes and other salon specific waste into the landfill. Now, we’ve changed that and we’re a certi-fied sustainable salon”, said salon owner Gwen Fisher.

Until now, there has been no recycling program in place that encompasses all of the specific salon chemi-cals and hair clippings that come off the cut-ting room floor. The new Green Circle pro-gram now in place at

Pure Elements means the hair clippings will be going to aid in oil spill cleanup in the event of a West Coast spill. The clippings will be made into oil booms (nylon tubes filled with hair) known to be highly effective in oil

spill clean up. Hair has the same properties as an animal’s fur or feath-ers, which makes it an ideal spill response material. Interestingly the oil booms are made at a women’s prison on the Lower Mainland. Fisher would like to see they made locally out of nylons (and hair) and have boat owners place them beside their boat engines in Sooke Harbour when they are moored.

The foils, color tubes, plastics, excess chemi-cals and paper will be separated in-salon and collected by Green Cir-cle Salons’ Vancouver branch. Green Circle Salons is a Toronto-based company on a mission to make the Canadian salon indus-try sustainable by 2020.

“At our salon, we know our clients have a green mindset. It’s prev-alent on our island. We pride ourselves on the beauty we create every

day in our salon and we want to protect the beauty of the place we live and work in. Now, our clients can look good and feel good too.

It’s a look good, feel good experience.” says Gwen. “Green Cir-cle is also helping us to take a look at our next steps for making the salon more efficient... there are always more and better ways to become even more sus-tainable even beyond recycling.” 

“We’re proud to be a salon that our clients love to support and our stylists love to work in. In today’s ecologically sensitive world, that means taking care of the carbon footprint of each client who comes through our doors.”

Climate change lecture

Through infra-red goggles darkly!

An Aerospace Engi-neer’s View of Climate Change.

Dr. Parvez Kumar, P.Eng.

Climate change is a reality, and has been so for a long time. The “naysayers” are now beginning to real-ize that our world is approaching a crisis in terms of natural disas-ter, famine, floods, extraordinary tempera-ture changes and melt-ing of glaciers world-wide.

This presentation takes a hard look at how humanity is creat-ing this potential disas-ter and what one might do to forestall it.

Dr. Parvez Kumar is a retired Aerospace Engineer and brings to this talk his knowledge of how satellites and Earth observation may help us all (including politician’s) try to keep this planet habitable.

The hundreds of residents living at Sun River today may be interested to know that the Phillips family’s steam donkey shown, once sat on their subdi-vision land and yarded in timber that had been felled by the Phillips brothers.

Besides their fam-ily farm and orchard nearer to the river, where apple trees can still be seen, the Phillips family focused on log-ging their section. The location held an incred-ible stand of Douglas-fir and assorted coni-fers. In 1910 the Phil-lips brothers ordered a steam donkey engine yarder from Washing-ton Iron Works, and it was barged up the Sooke River to their property.

This 1922 photo shows Fred Milne oper-ating the donkey and yarding in the logs. During the 1920s they acquired a hard tired truck to haul their logs, which they dumped at a log dump at Coopers Cove. Though it’s hard to picture it today, the dump was on the east side of the inlet, where a narrow dirt roadway allowed trucks to drive in, dump the logs into the water for boom-ing, and back out again onto Sooke Road.

Much later, the steam donkey was converted to gas, and later still, left as a relic. In the late 1970s logging contractor Ted Shaw brought the machine to our attention and it was donated to the museum by Ron Fitton. Like most Sooke proj-ects, its restoration was undertaken entirely by volunteers. A variety of fellows, each skilled in their field, made it all happen. First, our 83 year old master don-key sleigh builder, Olof Frederickson, oversaw the donkey sleighs, and we found it totally in character to the high standards of the day, that when logging superintendent Jim Brandon of Pacific Log-ging first offered a set

of fir logs, Olof declined them and asked for bet-ter quality logs. Yes, they were provided for us, and work began.

Maywell Wickheim undertook rebuilding of the machine itself; because only the main frame was left, com-ponents had to be found from a variety of sources. The steam boiler we acquired from Rajindi Mayo at Paldi, while other needed parts were obtained through a volunteer team who hiked into the West Coast Trail. The Parks branch allowed us to retrieve the parts from a der-

elict up the Trail, and Hilly Lewis remembers they lugged in oxygen and acetylene tanks to cut off bolts. Bruce Payne of V I Helicop-ters brought the heavy parts into Sooke for us. The project took about two years to complete.

Because we could not actually produce steam in the boiler in the original manner without a licensed engi-neer, the boiler was re-tubed down using copper coils so that the amount of steam produced could not blow up the boiler and endanger lives. Through the 1980s we

had the donkey oper-ating on the museum grounds on weekends. We were able to fire the boiler, produce steam, blow the whistle, etc, but it did not actually move.

Two young fellows who worked weekends in their youth operating the contraption were Alec Jessiman and Gor-die Carosella. Groups of visitors were attracted to come and see its operation - not your everyday sight!

Of his work, the Wit-ness Blanket, Carey Newman said, “The Witness Blanket may be the most important piece I ever created, and I feel an obligation to bring it to as many communities as pos-sible. We need to hon-our the survivors and remember the children who were lost. We need to speak openly about these stories to ensure that this never happens again.”

Inspired by a woven blanket, the large-scale art installation is made out of hundreds of items reclaimed from residen-tial schools, churches, government buildings and traditional and cul-tural structures includ-ing friendship centres, band offices, treatment centres and universi-ties, from across Can-ada.

Newman designed and built this piece “… to reflect the strength of my people and it is my hope that everyone who stands in witness of this piece will be affected in some way. If the Witness Blanket fosters awareness in one person who is just learning about this dif-ficult part of Canadian history, or touches a Residential School Sur-vivor or one of their family members, it has made a difference.”

Newman and his project team spent 12 months travelling 204,762 kms. around the country, gathering stories and artifacts. They visited 77 commu-nities and residential school sites, saw 10,000 people, and collected 894 pieces of history to be included in the Wit-ness Blanket. The fin-ished work now stands as a national monu-ment to recognize the atrocities of the Indian residential school era, honour the children, and symbolize ongoing reconciliation.

The Sooke Fine Arts Society is proud to host an evening with Carey Newman as he discusses  this power-ful project, the Witness Blanket, now touring across Canada. New-man is a renowned multi-disciplinary art-

ist, whose work  has been featured many times in the Sooke Fine Arts Show. Join him for a special insight into the creation of the blan-ket’s tapestry, the col-lection of its artifacts, and the message it car-ries.

This special event will be held at Edward Milne Community School Theatre, 6218 Sooke Road, on Thurs-day, May 28. Doors to the theatre open at 7:15 p.m., with the presenta-

tion at 7:30 p.m. Admis-sion is by donation, with a suggested $5 minimum. All proceeds will go to support the project’s national tour. Survivors of the resi-dential school era are invited to attend free of charge.

For further informa-tion, please contact the Sooke Fine Arts Society’s office either by email at [email protected] or by phone at (250) 642-7256.

Secondary roads need upgrades

Residents in the Sooke area are continually being forced to wait in long line ups when there is an accident along Sooke Road. It is one of the most notorious stretches of road on Vancouver Island, and perhaps in all of B.C. It is tiresome, frustrating and inconvenient, no question.

We want to shake our fist and hurl nasty comments when we experience what appears to be an unnecessary closure along our road into and out of Sooke. But who is to blame for the road closures? First, it isn’t Sooke Fire Rescue, even though they are often first on the scene and are obviously there. The road is declared closed when the RCMP or the Ministry of Transport deem it is important enough to stop traffic.

Our fire chief said the police are usually on the scene first and they are obligated to contact MOT and then a decision is made. Fire Chief Sorensen said motor vehi-cle accidents are classified as crime scenes and the fire department has no say on traffic issues.

So when you are stalled in traffic and wonder why you are being made to wait, that’s the answer. The fire chief also said that if there is a fatality, then a traffic analyst, part of the highway patrol, has to attend to the scene and he/she is stationed up-Island in Parksville. (Is there no one in Victoria?) In the end, it is about the safety of the investi-gators, emergency personnel and the victims.

The important thing to remember is that accidents in most cases are caused by drivers.

What needs to be done though is to initiate and carry out plans for alternative routes in and out of Sooke, not just for road closures in the case of vehicle accidents, but also for the bigger picture. Many people know about backroads and old logging roads. Perhaps these need to be upgraded over time to allow for emergency travel out of the Sooke area. How else could you get away from the water if there was an earthquake or tsunami? Our regional and local emergency plans needs to include such evacu-ation plans. It’s time to get that act together and be pre-pared. A large overall plan for the entire south Island also needs to be looked at. Let’s get this together before it is needed, not after.

ANOTHER VIEW

When the B.C. government tabled its legislation to amend the Election Act in March, it was probably hoping no one would notice. They were in for a bit of a shock.

While much of the focus has been on the provision which would give political parties the names of each and every British Columbian who casts a ballot, the government is also proposing to do away with the pre-campaign period and the spending limits that apply to political parties within it.

The pre-campaign period – unique to B.C. – is the 60-days that falls before the 28-day campaign. The B.C. Court of Appeal has struck down the government’s attempts to limit third-party spending in that 60-day period three times. Evidently, the govern-ment got the hint.

The bigger issue isn’t what candi-dates and parties can spend before the campaign, it’s what they can spend during it. B.C.’s limits are so high they’re pretty well meaningless.

And the government isn’t propos-ing to do anything about that.

In the 2013 B.C. election a candi-date was allowed to spend $73,218 over the pre-campaign period and another $73,218 during the cam-paign for a total of $146,436. On average, each B.C. riding had 37,370 voters.

In the 2011 federal election, the average spending limit was $88,097 per riding. Average number of vot-ers, 78,758.

Federal limits are adjusted to the number of voters in each riding, with allowances for larger or remote ridings.

Not so in B.C. A candidate running in Stitkine, the riding with the fewest voters (13,845), and a candidate run-ning in Surrey-Cloverdale, the riding with the most (52,817), had exactly the same limit, $146,436.

And both candidates could have spent $12,000 more than a candidate running in Oak Ridges-Markham, Canada’s largest riding with 153,972 voters.

There’s a top up for political par-ties too. And B.C. isn’t a slouch in that department either.

In 2013, the pre-campaign spend-ing limit for a party was $1.15 million plus $4.6 million for the campaign itself.

Most jurisdictions tie a party’s limit to the number of voters in the ridings where a party is running a candidate. In the 2011 federal elec-tion, limits ranged from $62,702 to $21 million.

Not so in B.C. A registered party that ran two candidates could have spent the full $5.715 million that a party running a full slate of 85 candi-dates was entitled to spend.

Since the limits are so absurdly high, neither the Liberals at $11.7 mil-lion nor the NDP at $9.4 million came anywhere close to hitting the overall cap of $18.2 million in 2013.

But they both spent at least $1.1 million more than any political party and all 125 of its candidates did in last year’s Quebec election. Quebec has six million voters, nearly double the number in B.C.

The spending limit in the Quebec election was $1.37 per voter (party and candidate all in). In the Ontario

election, it was $2.08 per voter. Both provinces adjust limits for northern or remote ridings and the number of candidates a party runs.

If B.C.’s spending limits are out of whack imagine the impact on the other side of the ledger for parties that want to take full advantage of them.

Last year, the B.C. Liberal party raked in $10.4 million, that’s nearly $1 million more than the federal NDP raised across Canada and half of what the Conservative Party of Canada brought in.

If the pre-campaign period is done away with, the existing spend-ing limit for the campaign itself will still be in place and it won’t be too onerous for a political party to make do on $4.6 million or candidates on $73,218.

Add it all up and a party running a full slate of 87 candidates (two more seats for 2017) will have a limit of roughly $11 million or $3.43 per voter.

That’s $2.7 million more than the Quebec Liberals and their 125 can-didates spent in the 2014 Quebec election. And the Quebec Liberals – like their B.C. cousins – were tops in spending.

So what would the limit be in B.C. if the government adopted the Ontario limit? It would drop from $11 million to $6.65 million. Adopt Que-bec’s and it drops to $4.4 million.

Would that be such a bad thing?Dermod Travis

SOOKE NEWS MIRROR - WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2015 www.sookenewsmirror.com • 11SOOKE NEWS MIRROR - Wednesday, May 20, 2015 www.sookenewsmirror.com • 11

Good, bad and ugly

A funny thing hap-pened to me on the way home last week....the road to Sooke was shut down, again.  Rid-ing the #61 home from work, we came to a stop around 4:15 p.m. about 1.5 km before 17 Mile Pub.  Word had it there was a bad accident by the Shell Station and the road may not open till 10 p.m. Having acquired some recent health challenges mak-ing it difficult to walk much, it seemed I had no choice but to dis-embark the bus that was turning around to head back to Langford, and start a walkin’. Didn’t have my meds, a change of clothes, etc... I figured better to take my chances heading home, than spending the night in Victoria.

After stopping quickly at the 17 Mile for some “fuel” to keep walking, a car pulled up along side and the driver offered me a ride. The fellow noticed my limping, and said I could slow-ride along as far as he could go.  We introduced each other and chatted a bit about this and that and about past times when the road closed. He said it was part of the price you pay to live out here. That’s why it’s not so crowded, because a lot of people won’t put up with the commute and delays. We both agreed it was a price we were willing to pay to live in such a beauti-ful area and hope the road never gets too big

or easy.When the traffic

stopped again, he said I might as well keep walking and if he got going he would pick me up again. He was a good guy and I thank you sir. I walked for awhile, starting to get pretty sore, and slow-ing down.  Then I came to the accident. It was ugly. Not sure how anyone lived through it but apparently all did, thank goodness. As I walked past the carnage, the flashing lights and milling peo-ple, the burnt smell of tragedy that lingered, I noticed someone hold-ing a cardboard sign at the end of a drive-way.  It said something about $5 and a “route around.” For some rea-son it took a second to sink in... for $5 vehicles could get around the wrecked cars about 75 feet away by using a private road through a property.

As I kept walking another young man walking along was announcing the $5 detour to drivers of waiting vehicles.  Some moved forward to pay the $5 detour.  I jokingly told drivers I would give them $5 if they turned around and gave me a ride to my waiting truck in Sooke.   I wasn’t jok-ing that much. A truck eventually came along and I stuck out my thumb, desperate for a ride. So did the other young man and the driver picked us both

up. As we drove into Sooke the $5 detour was mentioned and the driver had the same instinct reaction that I did. He was nice guy, grew up in Port Ren-frew, dropped me off at my truck. I know he was the kind of guy that if I offered him $5 for help-ing me out, he would have been offended. I just said thanks.  

I hope I can return the favour one day, or at least pay it forward.

When I finally got home, we had guests...friends, also stranded by the accident, wait-ing it out at our place. We shared dinner, and when I told everyone about the $5 detour they all had the same reaction as I did and the guy who picked me up.

I guess tragedy and delay can bring out a lot of different reac-tions... for many a com-mon bond and unques-tioning helpfulness to each other, and for oth-ers, an opportunity. Not judging, just saying.

Tom EberhardtSooke

Helpful community

I wanted to send out a big thank you to every-one who helped push my stalled car off Otter Point Road on Mon-day May 4 just before 9 a.m.  I am so grateful for everyone’s help that day.  It is so nice to live in a community where

there are people willing to help one another! Thank you.

Sharon GilbertSooke

Another way out

I would just   like to clarify that no one at Mrs. Lewers Farm-house, charged a fee for driveway access to circumnavigate the accident by us. They couldn’t have gotten by that way anyway. If they could have, we would have opened our drive as we have in the past, to allow folks to go through and the thought would never have entered our minds to charge. We have given out coffee, and cinnamon buns etc. in the past to motorists but never charged for it and wouldn’t.

We hope those affected by the accident recover quickly. Our son, Derek, ex-fireman and first responder, was the first to respond along with Gail, a retired nurse and attended the injured and directed traffic around the acci-dent site.

In the future , I would hope that fire rescue and police add to their information, the fact that there is the Gal-loping Goose   with access from Ludlow to Harbourview and Har-bourview to Parklands, which could have been used to circumnavigate the accident, with traf-

fic to the city diverted from Harbouview to Ludlow and traffic from city down Lud-low to Parklands. We had enough firemen to direct the traffic and I would hope that this avenue is added to the mix with road closures and for any emergency for access. The bridge over Ayum Creek was constructed to handle emergency vehicles. Perhaps this could be added to the Emer-gency Plan for every-one to know.

I am sorry so many people were held in line for so long. My hus-band was in the line as well, but I walked home as many others did.

Donor should be thanked

On 11 May a donation of £50 was paid into our charity’s bank account - the payee was shown as Sooke Sooke TP/Roygld. We launched an appeal for £75,000 following the Nepal earthquake disaster on 25 April to pay the cost of 500 Water-Survival Boxes to go to families that have lost every-thing or lack access to safe drinking water.

We are a Rotary char-ity based near Bath in England and would dearly like to thank the donor. The only refer-ence I can find to Sooke on the internet suggests that the donor might

We asked: What should be done to make Sooke Road safer?

Improve the traffic quality; put in a side road through Kangaroo

or something, even if it’s along the route.

Jeremy EubankSooke

There’s not much that can be done with the current road, re-

ally. An added road into town would be better.

Norman EnsilSooke

They need to straighten it out, maybe if possible make an

overpass somewhere to help the traffic.

Teresa ReddingSooke

Speed limit should be lower, and there should be more places

on the side of the road to stop safely, especially at night.

Sooke Garden Club

Whenever I go to visit my dear friend on Hornby Island, what-ever the season, I’m blown away by her beautiful gardens. They have an easy air about them, an inviting casu-alness and harmony that belie the time she devotes to them. What is clear, though, is that her landscape is a care-fully planned and ongo-ing labour of love. She has made space for a wide variety of plants, selecting for size, shape, texture, foli-age/flower colour, and bloom time. In areas where foliage predomi-nates, the allure comes from well-placed con-trasts in texture and colour, sometimes sub-tle and sometimes not. Every visit is a visual feast and an oppor-tunity to learn from a truly accomplished and addicted gardener.

Clearly, not all of us can or are prepared to spend 75 per cent of our awake time creat-ing and maintaining an ornamental gar-den. That, of course, doesn’t stop us from wanting a landscape that serves eye candy whenever we look out a window. Nor does it mean that we have to forego having such a landscape. The key is in the design and the choice of plants. Trees, shrubs, bulbs, perenni-als, annuals … where to begin? What plants and combinations perform well through the differ-ent seasons?

This month the Sooke Garden Club wel-comes Anne Taylor and Theresa Boggs from the

landscape design and installation company Good to Grow Land-scape Solutions. Their presentation, ‘Design-ing for All Season Colours,’ will provide a glimpse of some of the plantings that have worked particularly well since they started their business seven years ago. They also promise to highlight a few personal favorites and share some of their landscape creation suc-cess stories.

Before starting Good to Grow, Anne Taylor, an avid coastal gardener since 1974, worked for 14 years designing and drafting with  Michael Bocking Landscape Architect in Victoria. She also took an eight-month training pro-gram on Greater Local Food Security, working with acclaimed organic gardener Carolyn Har-riot.

Theresa Boggs holds an Applied Landscape Horticulture Certificate from Capilano College and a certificate as a Journeyman Horticul-turist from Kwantlan College.  Along with a

third team member who is currently finishing her four-year appren-ticeship at Kwantlan, these women represent three generations and collectively have over 60 years of experience. As Anne puts it, “We are women of landscap-ing wisdom.”

Join us Wednesday, May 27, 7 p.m., at St. Rose of Lima Church on

Townsend Road. New members welcome.

Annual fee: $15; guests: $5.

There will also be a parlour show and mem-ber plant sale.

Questions? Visit our website at sooke-gardenclub.ca, email [email protected], or phone Rose at 250-642-5509.

The Ascension“I am not asking you to take them out of the

world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.” (Jh 17: 15). Before leaving, Jesus asks the father to protect us from evil because he knows that God’s workers need to be protected from all

adversities of the world. In this context we have to understand the world as a group of people who do not have God, and are opposed to those who believe in God. Jesus was worried about us, his disciples, and in his prayer he commends us to the father in all aspects of our life.

“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” (Jh 15:17). Jesus asks the father for the sanctification of all his disciples, but be sanctified does not mean perfection, goodness, and it is not a moral quality, as we believed. Sanctification means being separated from the profane and close to the divine. Believers and non-believers can be sanctified if they are walking in God’s path, helping those in need and doing the right things for humanity.

Jesus asks the father for guidance and protection for his disciples. Then some time after his ascension to heaven, the disciples received the Holy Spirit.

Since then we have been guided and protected by God through His Spirit. Thus, we have also been sanctified as part of God.

Vern Moore Youth Art Award

The Sooke Fine Arts Society is now accept-ing donations for a new youth art award estab-lished to honour one of the show’s most dedi-cated volunteers and art-lovers, Vern Moore.

Vern was a dedicated volunteer, supporter and patron of the Sooke Fine Arts Show for the better part of three decades. The Moore family thought an award in his name, to encourage and rec-ognize young talent, a

fitting tribute — com-memorating not only his appreciation of the region’s outstanding arts but his dedication to promoting cultural literacy among Sooke’s youth.

The $100 award will be presented to a Sooke youth artist whose work is accepted into the 2015 Youth Art Gal-lery, on display during this year’s Sooke Fine Arts Show (July 24 to August 3).

Vern, who passed

away in April, will be missed by so many in the Sooke Fine Arts family. He was an unfailing presence at the show each year, and he is remembered with much fondness for returning day after day to review each piece on the gallery floor with genuine consideration. His true appreciation and dedicated support were an invaluable part of the show’s volun-teer core, and just one of the many ways Vern

loomed large in the life of the community.

It is the hope of the Society the award will recognize young talent for years to come. To help contribute to the Vern Moore Youth Art Award, please contact [email protected] or 250-642.7256. Cheques can be directed to the Sooke Fine Arts Soci-ety. Please note “Vern Moore” with your con-tribution.

Girl Guides earn

badges through

art#1 Sooke Girl Guide

Unit earned their art production badge in a very unusual way May 11 at Shards Glass Stu-dio on Otter Point Rd.

Susan Isaac of Shards Glass Studio and Jill Wark, Girl Guide leader put their heads together and devel-oped a custom glass pendant workshop per-fect for the girls.

The 15 girl guides got to work creating after learning fused glass combines 4,000 year- old techniques with electric kilns and com-puter programs. There was lots of laughter and creative cooperation that resulted in beauti-ful colourful pendants. Now each girl will have to answer the question, “How did you do that?”

Teagan Liptrott, a Girl Guide and gradu-ate of two Shards Glass Studio workshops, assisted with cutting glass, set-up and clean-up. Gemini Rogers also a Girl Guide and Shards grad, also cut glass for the girls.

Girl guides: Beth-any McNaught, Carly Wristen, Sophia Nils-son, Talia Whitten, Louisa Ralph, Isa-bel Keoughan, Olivia Keoughan, Katrina Stehle, Talia Whitten, Georgia Wark, Teagan Liptrott, Gemini Rog-ers, Kiera Pitts, Orianna Reda, Hailey Whitmore

Leaders: Jill Wark, Kathleen Stevens, Caryn Drabitt, Karen Keoughan (parent)

“If music be the food of love, sing on, sing on, till I am filled with joy.” Ekoos Vocal Ensem-ble is delighted to cel-ebrate this sentiment with a spring concert on Sunday, May 24.

The words “If music be the food of love” are from Twelfth Night by Shakespeare, and they’re also the title of a song composed by Henry Purcell in the 16th century. Ekoos will sing this and other love songs, plus sacred music by composers from the English, Baltic, Central European and Russian traditions.

At the suggestion of a choir member, we’re boldly stepping out from our usual reper-toire to venture into the world of opera! The major work in our spring program is the four movement dramatic Lamento d’Arianna (“Ariadne’s Lament”) by Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi.

Scored for five voices, the Lamento is taken from one of the earli-est operas ever written. Monteverdi completed

it in 1608, just in time to be performed for a royal wedding. He apparently said later that the effort of creat-ing it nearly killed him.

The concert will include three other love songs by Renais-sance composers: Jacques Arcadelt, Thomas Crequillon, and Giovanni Gastoldi. Some listeners may notice that Gastoldi’s L’Inmorato sounds uncannily similar to Thomas Morley’s Sing We and Chant It. Mor-ley “borrowed” Gastol-di’s earlier melody, in a time before copyright protection.

One of the pleasures for Ekoos members is to be surprised by music

which conductor Peter Dent “finds” during his

many musical tours in Europe. He enjoys help-

ing the choir and its audience experience works which have not been widely performed in Canada.

This program fea-tures three contempo-rary composers. Pater Noster is by Zdenk Lukáš, a Czech com-poser whose music Dent discovered in 2002. The choir will also perform the now well-known Magnificat by Estonian Arvo Pärt. Particularly exciting

will be our performance of the Ave Verum Cor-pus by the Latvian-born British Columbian, Imant Raminsh. Ekoos is fortunate to have as a member Svetlana Pris-sick, who is originally from Sochi in Russia. She has been a great help with the pronun-ciation of the Russian texts, and will be fea-tured as soloist in a work by Chesnokov.

We are also very pleased to be joined by

instrumentalists Ellen Himmer on cello and Shane Beech on harpsi-chord. Ellen is not only a member of Ekoos, but was also one of Shane’s earliest piano teachers.

Please join us to see if music can indeed be the food of love.

The concert will be on Sunday, May 24 at 2:30 p.m. at Holy Trin-ity Church, 1962 Mur-ray Road. Tickets $12 at the door.

13th Sooke River

Bluegrass Festival set for

June 19-21

This year the Sooke River Bluegrass festival is proud to present two bands all the way from Boston, Massachusetts. 

The Lonely Heart-string Band  is now one of the hottest new bands in New England.Originally the band

was  formed to  play exclusively Beatles songs  at a bluegrass wedding. Since the Bea-tles days, the band has moved on combining instrumental virtuosity, three-part harmonies, and a deep understand-ing of traditional blue-grass and Appalachian music. This  acoustic quintet  plays original acoustic music, tradi-tional bluegrass and, as the name suggests, a swath of Beatles cov-ers. 

The talented mem-

bers are George Cle-ments (guitar/vocals); Patrick McGonigle (fiddle/vocals); Gabe Hirshfeld (banjo); Matt Witler (mandolin); and Charles Clements (bass/vocals). 

Mile Twelve is a fresh and innovative new voice in contemporary bluegrass music. They are fast gaining rec-ognition for their out-standing performances in New England blue-grass and folk circles. Combining a love for traditional bluegrass

with songwriting skills honed at renowned music schools, they present a refined and powerful musical directive. With influ-ences from folk, jazz, old-time and bluegrass music, the band’s origi-nal songs are a timely continuation of the bluegrass string band tradition.The band features Evan Murphy (lead vocals/guitar); Bronwyn Keith-Hynes (fiddle); Catherine (BB) Bowness (banjo); and Nate Sabat (bass).  

Mile Twelve’s youth-ful energy and mature musicianship result in captivating and memo-rable performances. 

Check out the web-site for the  complete list of performers. This family-friendly festival is held at the Sooke River Campground, and features an impressive line up of skilled acous-tic musicians.

Weekend passes are available now for only $50 at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1433132.

Day passes are also available.

Camping passes need to be booked sep-arately at  http://www.sookecommunity.com/camping/.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.

Sports & RecreationSooke Blue Sox put up big fight against Saanich Extreme

Octavian Lacatusu Photo

Sooke’s “Blue Sox” U14 Fastball Girls showed no mercy against Saanich during last Thursday’s game at Art Morris Park - the match ended with a close, but valiant score of 13-15.

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

After competing together in track and field back in elementary and middle school, friends Brady Green-wood, Jack Kendall, Tyler Duncan and Matthew Thompson thought maybe they could try their hand again at competing with the big fish.

But when the team showed up at the 4 x 100 meter relay senior boys track & field competition this year, they realized they were in for a big challenge — the rival teams were numerous, better dressed and better equipped.

It was a steep slope to climb, said Greenwood, who pointed out that this is the first track & field team Edward Milne community school has had in nearly 15 years.

As it turns out though, the odds were in their favour — the boys not only won and made it to the Islands at UVIC, but went from seventh to second-place in their first heat, just seconds apart.

“Trying to get back after so long and trying to compete knowing everyone’s really good was very overwhelming at the time,” he said, adding that it was just the four of

them, including team manager Char-lie Richardson, going against teams that had members counting in the dozens. “We used to do it back in elementary and middle school and just this year we said, let’s get back together and see if we can do well again.”

Kendall, who’s been one of the main players with the EMCS basket-

ball Wolverines, says he even bor-rowed turf cleats from a friend just to be able to take part. But he said that didn’t bother the team at all; the objective was to go fast and win, no matter what.

“It’s cool, we’re kind of like the underdogs,” he said. “In the last race, they didn’t even have us on the sheet, even though we finished top four. Then they put us in this bad heat and we just owned everyone.”

Not without consequence though. Thompson, the only grade-twelver in the group, busted his knee in the process due to a surgery he’d experi-enced prior to running. He’s recover-ing though, according to the team.

Still, the group is relentless — and dedicated to bring the spirit of track & field back to EMCS.

Some say that not all victories are about fame, money, or a shot for that big golden cup; more so, it’s about team spirit and hav-ing fun — and if anyone noticed the smiles and laughter coming from the Sooke Blue Sox’ U14 girls box last Thursday, they’d certainly believe it.

It was a close game no doubt, ending with a score of 13-15 for Sooke by the fifth inning. This year’s Sox faced off for their first time against Saanich Extreme’s girls, who were admittedly fero-cious in their mannerisms the entire game.

Not that our girls let up either; many excellent pitches and some good batting kept Saan-ich on their tippy toes — a feat which head coach Kevin Berger says is a result of one impor-tant factor: they genuinely enjoy

playing fastball. “The main thing is that we’re

having fun, and that’s what it’s all about; if we’re not having fun, then we’re doing something wrong,” Berger said, adding that the current team is still in its learning stages. “It’s all develop-ment right now; we got a couple of older girls that have played ball for a few years, as well as a lot of new players. Right now is all about getting them out there and into the game.”

Berger says it’s at this stage of the game that the play level really steps up to the next - but since the Sox are already facing battle-hardened teams, he noted that the practice is invaluable.

He added that a lot of the rival teams’ girls are in their second year in this level of fastball — a big challenge for any new team.

“It’s a big jump; it’s a fast-paced game, so a lot of these girls have been used to where the pitchers aren’t really pitch-

ing, they’re getting it over, and a lot of walks, and not really playing the game,” Berger said, adding that whereas this year, things are a little tougher. “You gotta know what’s going on, like where you’re throwing the ball, and how you’re pitching. It’s a lotta fun - the girls are having a great time with it.”

So far the Sooke girls played two back-to-back tournaments and up to three games a day on average, so Berger said he’s feel-ing pretty good about the next few coming up.

“This is a good year, we got a lot of girls coming up, and hope-fully if they stay together, we can take them pretty far in the game,” he said.

The Blue Sox are due to return in Sooke for a tournament on May 30 — and though the game ended in Saanich’s favour this time, the girls undoubtedly left their mark that they’ll be back stronger and harder next time.

Seahawks face off against Ladysmith, Gordon Head

Continued from page 29...

For those wondering, a 4 x 100 m relay involves a 400 m track in which each team member does a 100 m sprint around it, then passes a baton to the next member.

Tyler, who, like the other three competes in several other school sports such as baseball, says he’s pretty impressed with the team effort, consid-ering their progress so far.

“We’ve been competing for three weeks or so - we’re all just pretty competitive guys, so we thought to get all our most athletic friends together, we think we got pretty far,” he said. “No one has heard of us in so long, then we came out and did really well, it’s pretty awesome.”

After all, there’s no greater feeling than enjoying a good victory with your friends by your side.

“Winning with our friends is an awesome feel-

ing,” Greenwood said. “It’s awesome because a lot of people are there cheering you on and seeing how you compete.”

The team hopes that their efforts will help spear-head the track & field program at EMCS and that more people will join next year.

“Next year we could run 12 events, but all depends if we can get more people interested in this,” Greenwood said. “It’s a different feeling than any other sport.”

Having just finished grade 11, the boys are just one year away before graduating into the real world — Kendall, he hopes to get into business school and travel the world; Greenwood wants to pursue a career in basketball, and Duncan is look-ing for a scholarship so he can play competitive baseball.

Following their performance at UVIC, the EMCS boys are on their way to Provincials.

The Sooke PeeWee Seahawks battled hard to the final whistle, but couldn’t keep up with the Lady-smith Steelers on May 16.

The Steelers are one of the two nine-man teams in the league, and that coupled with the early start in Ladysmith got Sooke off to a sluggish start. The Seahawks improved as the game wore on, but couldn’t find the big play to get them back into it.

Two first-year players, Quin Threlfall and Riley Berfelo, continued their fantastic seasons. Threlfall started the second half by returning the kick-off for a touchdown, the third time this season he’s taken a kick-off to the house. He also accounted for one of the Seahawks’ longest runs from scrimmage, and made numerous solid tackles on defence.

Berfelo also ran hard, fighting for every yard he

gained. And on defence he came up with a few tack-

les for losses and caused a fumble, showing the instincts, speed and strength that have made him such a standout.

Another first year player, Simon Eskildsen, showed the strides he’s made over the course of the season when he swatted away a pass attempt on third down to get his team the ball back. And William Daoust, who scored his first ever touch-down in Sooke’s previous game, came up with a fumble recovery.

The 2-3 Seahawks have three regular season games left before the start of the playoffs. Their next game is against the Saanich Wolverines on May 24.

Fishing adventures

Ron Neitsch Photo

Picture of Eileen and Jonathan from Idaho with three Spring Salmon they caught in Sooke on May 5.

Sooke salmon fishing continues to be consistent with good catches of winter (feeder) sized seven to 12 lb Spring salmon coming in daily. Some even larger.

The Bluffs, Otter Point and further west have been good spots to find these chinooks.

Mother’s Day received a report from a boat that only fished the Bluffs for a couple hours early morning due to windy conditions.

But the mom in the group was happy to report that her crew had landed a ten pound Spring on a purple anchovy teaser head behind a flasher at 75 ft on the downrigger in 90 ft of water.

Our boats have been having success in 120 to 140 ft of water with the gear at 135ft on the down-rigger, usually trolling west until finding bait at or near the bottom.

Halibut fishing seemed to have slowed down over the last week, but is sure to pick up again before the Sooke Halibut Derby on May 23/24. Rock fish (rock cod) and lingcod are now open to 1 fish per day per person.

Lingcod minimum size is 65cm and Rock fish have no minimum size limit.

Please check the regulations at your local tackle provider, or on the DFO website www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca.

Small rock fish can make a great appetizer fil-leted, cubed, and wrapped in bacon.

Some great fishing derbies coming up soon. Tickets are on sale now at Crab Shack and Eagle-eye Outfitters for the Sooke Halibut Derby May 23/24.

The 2015 Juan De Fuca Alpine Fishing Tourna-ment will take place at Pedder Bay Marina June 20 and 21.
