The Capital Regional District is edging closer to turning the water taps on in rural areas.

For months the CRD has been debating whether to restrict growth by refusing to allow piped water into rural areas.

The issue came to the forefront last spring as CRD directors reviewed the latest draft of the Regional Sustainability Strategy, a revised and expanded version

of the CRD’s Regional Growth Strategy.

But Mike Hicks, the CRD director for the Juan de Fuca electoral area, called the plan “discriminatory,” and now it appears he might win the battle.

Last week, CRD directors passed a motion put forward by Hicks asking the board to ensure people of rural areas are able to access city water, no matter where they live.

In the past the CRD was reluctant to look at the issue because it felt it would encourage urban sprawl

– something both Hicks and Sooke Mayor Maja Tait deny.

“To me, this is one of the most important issues in the JdF,” Hicks said.

“Water can no longer be used as a planning tool to determine density.”

The CRD board’s mind was made up when Tait suggested Sooke would not back the growth strategy (all 13 municipalities need to ratify it).

Some properties within the District of Sooke have remained on

well water since the municipality incorporated in 1999.

“What I hear from the CRD board is we don’t want sprawl, we want this … but we’re trying to build a more compact community ourselves to keep our residents here. And water is a necessity of living,” Tait said.

Between parties, after parties, trick or treating and haunted house tours there will be no shortage of activities to do on Halloween night in Sooke.

And here’s another: Safe Halloween, a traditional family-friendly event held in Sooke for more than a decade, featuring carnival games such as pin the nose on the pumpkin, ghost bowling, witch hat ring toss, as well as fireworks.

All activities will be held in the Muncipal parking lot starting at 5 p.m. on Halloween night, with fireworks expected to be set off next door in John Phillips Park around 8 p.m.

“It’s about providing a safe and fun environment for kids and families during Halloween at either before they’re trick or treating or after they’re trick or treating, to come together as a community to enjoy different games and activities,” said Megan MacKeigan, recreation coordinator at SEAPARC Leisure Complex, one of the organizers of the event.

Ironically, Safe Halloween earned its

name several years ago not to necessarily protect youth from ghouls and goblins, but more so to protect youth from themselves.

MacKeigan recalls there were several years in a row in Sooke on Halloween night when youth took over the town core, setting off fires in dumpsters, throwing debris at police, smashing windows of businesses and vandalizing property.

The juvenile violence hit its peak however, and in 2000, a local group formed between

business owners and parents, who decided to get together and regain control of the town core again on Halloween night and make it safe for youth and families alike.

The solution? Not riot gear and tear gas, no, instead they simply gave youth something to do that night. Because hey, why set fire to a car if you can win yourself a fuzzy teddy bear while playing ghost bowling?

“It all came down to gearing the event towards young people, and allowing them

to do something fun and productive on Halloween,” MacKeigan said.

Over the years, the event morphed, changing locations and becoming an all-ages kind of night, predominately for kindergarden and elementary kids.

In addition to fireworks, there will be music and other activities.

Otter Point Fire Rescue firefighters and staff are also hosting their own Halloween event at Camp Barnard, starting at 6 p.m.

The crew will have bags of goodies for kids, along with hot dogs and marshmallows to roast over a bonfire.

Fireworks will be set off later that night right over Young Lake.

Safe Halloween planned in Sooke

Sooke RCMP arrested two men on Robinson Road Friday after they were caught with instruments used for breaking into houses.

The thefts are believed to be related to several “thefts of opportunity” in the Otter Point area, police say.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur said the Tugwell and Robinson roads in the Otter Point area has seen increased suspicious activity recently.

“We ask people to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity, regardless of

if they are in that area or not,” McArthur said.

Some residents also reported having individuals hanging around their property, or knocking at their doors looking for someone, particularly late at night and in the early morning hours.

A sub-compact red car and a motorhome, suspected in the crime spree, were seen in the area, but the vehicles can easily change as well, McArthur said.

In response to “concentrated” suspicious activity

in the Otter Point area, police patrols are increasing and the investigation is ongoing.

The two men were charged for theft and released, pending their next court appearance.

DON’T FLUSH......your expired or unused medications down the toilet or throw into the

garbage please. Once or twice a year, I like to remind everyone to go through their medicine cabinet and check for any outdated medications.

Most medications become less effective after the suggested expiration date, however there are a few that may become toxic. Also it is a good idea not to take any prescription medication that was prescribed long ago... they may interact with medications that you may be using now. Remember to think about the environment when disposing expired medications. Tablets, capsules, and most liquids can be taken to your pharmacy to be destroyed properly.

Make sure to take any tablets or capsules out of blisters before bringing them to the pharmacy... this helps with the disposal process.

Situation biggest concern in rural areas due to wild vegetation and street lightingOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Picture this. Something happens, and you need to call 9-1-1. You give them your address, then anxiously await their arrival. Half an hour goes by, still nothing.

Turns out, emergency crews can’t find your house because your address is covered in several feet of wild bush and one of the letters has fallen off.

As it happens, it’s a common problem for all fire, police and ambulance crews, who receive a call but have nowhere to go because the address sign is missing or can’t be seen from the street.

Trivial that a simple sign could be so much trouble, but all emergency personnel pose the big question: what if the Grim Reaper finds you first?

East Sooke Fire Chief Roger Beck recalls being paged to a recent medical call, but all emergency vehicles drove right by the address because the street sign was overgrown with ivy and shrubs.

Another case that springs to his memory is a woman’s husband having a heart attack. Similarly, the emergency response was delayed because no signeage was in place to show which house on the 4 on 10 block (four houses per each 10 acre parcel of land) was the one that made the call.

And in the event of a heart attack, seconds matter.

“It could well have cost her husband his life. It didn’t, so we were lucky, but it could have,” Beck said, adding she was warned there may not be a next time if the poor signeage, or lack thereof, continues on.

“When you’re emotional, when it’s a close call like that, then yes, the time is right to do something about your address signs,” he said.

The incident resonated so deeply with some East Sooke 4 on 10 residents that several developments now have maps showing all the main drives, the numbers of each house up that drive, and then a nest of all eight numbers in numerical order.

Beck is concerned with the latest strata 4 on 10 design as these developments usually have a single driveway, without any indication on whether or not the driveway constitutes as a road, which leaves

individual addresses out of view from the main road.

“If the sign on your house can’t be seen from the street, then you have to put another number at the street,” he said, adding that some people have avoided doing this because they feel their privacy is more important than their own protection.

Mind you, 4 on 10’s are not the only culprits here. Adding to the problem are signs placed only to face the way the residents travel back and forth, not towards the other direction as well, where an emergency vehicle could be approaching from.

As Otter Point Fire Chief Kevan Brehart puts it, this is a common issue not only in East Sooke, but in Otter Point, Sooke, as well as other rural areas.

“There are homes where the sign is not clearly visible, and often they will put up a sign facing Sooke, so if you come from Sooke you see their sign, but if you come from the west, or the opposite direction of where they come from, you can’t see it,” Brehart said.

Just recently, Brehart and his team responded to a call where the sign was pointing down Kemp Lake road, because typically everyone comes up Kemp Lake Road, but for them, coming down from the Otter Point fire hall, they drove right by.

This only highlights the importance of two-way address signs, in addition to the letters and numbers themselves being reflective and visible at night.

“Put them perpendicular to the road so that they can be read from both directions. It’s the ones that are angled, facing down, or towards one direction that cause issues not only for us [fire department] but for police and ambulance too,” he said.

Not to mention the pizza guy, who, by the time he’ll find your house, your pizza will have probably turned into a cold, mushy mess.

Brehart said majority of locals have good signs, but there’s still a fair number who have bad ones; just enough to cause problems.

And even though Sooke has actual street lights as opposed to East Sooke, Otter Point and Juan de Fuca area, Sooke Fire Rescue Chief Steven Sorensen said his department still faces finding unreadable and non-existent signs in the dark from time to time, again, caught in a race of life and death.

“If your address is visible during the day, it may not mean it is visible during the night as well. If you have a dark coloured number or a dark-coloured background, and you don’t have your porch light on, it might as well not be there,” Sorensen said.

He suggested the easiest way to test the effectiveness of their signeage for anyone living in a rural area is to see if they can find their address in pitch black darkness.

“It’s usually a nighttime issue, so when you come from an event at night, try to find your address. If you struggle to find it, then we’re never gonna find it,” he said.

Lack of proper address signs put homes at risk, say local fire chiefs

A water rate increase by the Capital Regional District may be dripping down the pipe, as the board prepares for its 2016 budget.

If the proposal goes through, the water rate will run at $0.6375 per cubic meter, effective Jan. 1. This is a 1.93 per cent increase over the 2015 rate.

All that trickles to around $2.84 for an average household using 235 cubic meters of water per year, the CRD says.

Each year the Regional Water Supply Commission determines its rates based on the money needed to deliver services, maintain, repair and update existing infrastructure.

Ironically, the hike also comes due to the fact that many locals conserve their water, particularly in the summer months, which leaves demand trailing behind.

Still, where does this increase leave Sooke residents?

Mayor Maja Tait said she’d like to see how this water fee hike will impact Sooke residents, especially the local farming community who rely on water for various purposes.

“When it [the proposal] is piecemeal it’s hard to see how that impact is going to be, so you want to see the entire budget, what’s planned, and see how it will hit every each individual household and business,” she said.

Tait appointed Coun. Rick Kasper as commissioner and Coun. Brenda Parkinson as his alternate on the Regional Water Supply Commission in order to make recommendations for the CRD board as it mulls through its budget process.

The Strata Property Act is being changed to allow condo owners to wind up their strata corporation and sell the property with a vote of 80 per cent of owners. The law currently requires unanimous consent of owners, allowing one holdout to veto a sale.

A raise in senior and youth bus passes is likely on the way.

The Victoria Regional Transit Commission’s triennial Victoria Fare Review Survey, which seeks public input until Nov. 5, proposes an increase in both the senior and youth 10-ticket books from the current $15 to $22.50 or $23. Senior and youth monthly passes will jump from $45 to $52 or $65.

Saanich Coun. Susan Brice chairs the commission and reminds users the fares will lock in for three more years.

“We have three revenue streams and the fare box is a pretty important one,”

Brice said. The other streams are portions of gas tax and property tax.

Sooke Coun. Ebony Logins expressed concern with the new fare structure.

“An increase to bus fare impacts all vulnerable people including youth, low-income individuals and families, single-parent families and seniors. Whenever there is a raised cost to services, it puts added strain on those who are most vulnerable,” she said.

“What it means for Sooke is less incentive for people to stay in our community and more incentive for people to drive, impacting traffic and the environment.”

The mandated review proposes three options, each with specific fare structures

that will remain similar.There is a call in Option 3

to remove the paper transfer.“What we’re hearing from

operators is that cash and paper transfers are the greatest source of dispute that can turn into a negative contact so we’re trying to move away from those with prepaid passes,” Brice said. “And dealing with cash costs time and money.”

Eliminating paper transfers also moves to a pay-per-ride model which presents a greater likelihood that riders will need to purchase a second ticket in situations they previously wouldn’t have, Murdoch pointed out.

“I hope B.C. Transit doesn’t think youth actually think there are three options. Clearly, they are meant to

drive us all to choose option 3,” Logins said.

The other option is a day pass. Adult day passes would remain at $5 in Option 3.

One of the only single-fare increases in price is a jump from $2.50 to $3 under Option 1.

The current adult monthly pass of $85 will remain the same, as they were raised three years ago.

The survey is online at bctransit.com/victoria. Feedback may also be submitted by phone, 250-995-5683 or email at [email protected]. There’s also an open house for the survey at B.C. Transit’s office (520 Gorge Rd. East), from 3 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 5.

What does the future of Sooke look like through your eyes?

At Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce events, members of the executive and staff are often challenged by members and other locals who have a wide range of ideas that they would like to see as the community deals with the challenges brought about by changing technology and population growth.

In late September, the chamber of commerce hosted a day-long conference with community leaders, asking them to individually and collectively express their ideas and concerns around the future of Sooke and its environs.

Chamber president Sean Dyble told the board of the chamber of commerce how impressed he was with the day’s outcome.

“Delegates clearly exhibited a great deal of realism as to the problems we face and the great opportunities we have, given our locale in one of the most beautiful settings in Canada.

“At the same time it was repeatedly stated that we shouldn’t rely on the natural beauty but should continually work to enhance that setting with a ‘man-made’ presence in the form of a character-filled downtown and other amenities that enrich the quality of life for our citizens.”

Some of the exciting ideas that emerged included greater opportunities for localized adult learning (something that’s already underway as a chamber of commerce initiative), further beautification of the downtown, strategies to attract pre-retirees to invest in our real estate and ways to integrate the harbour into the community through commercial and recreational activities.

Delegates to the conference were asked also to come up with ideas to increase the numbers of telecommuters – people who make their living from home, commuting to Victoria and other cities electronically.

Several ideas emerged around expanding the business base by making sure that existing businesses are given greater opportunities to prosper.

The chamber of commerce’s buy local campaign, Better Buy Sooke, was noted as a great start on improving the fortunes of local retailers and other suppliers.

There was general agreement that an improved economy involved greater marketing of the community to bring increased tourism, as well as attracting company relocations from other parts of British Columbia.

“We know, this will require improved infrastructure both physical such as major improvements to the Sooke highway as well digital in the form of improved cellular and bandwidth,” Dyble said.

There appeared to be a clear understanding that the way to help chamber of commerce members to prosper is through overall economic development of the community at all levels.

The chamber of commerce originated the conference, inviting both members and non-members as part of its community development strategy.

In the coming weeks, the chamber of commerce will issue a written report for community review and for local government. That report will contain a plan to identify organizations and agencies that can assist the chamber of commerce in meeting the goals that emerged from the conference.

They Said It

Our View

Mike Hicks, the CRD director for the Juan de Fuca electoral area, was grinning from ear to ear last week when he announced he had convinced others at the CRD board table that restricting water supply to rural areas was wrong, and, yes, discriminatory.

“To me, it’s one of the most important issues in the [Juan de Fuca area],” he told a reporter.

That is an understatement. This is an issue that should be important to everyone, no matter if you live in the city or in the country.

The CRD fears that by piping in city water to rural areas that it will encourage urban sprawl.

That’s very doubtful and hard to imagine.

It certainly doesn’t mean that if you hook a community up to city water that everyone is going to become a developer overnight.

To begin with, development is heavily mandated by official community plans. We’ve already seen many developments rejected because of OCPs. Just because there is access to a reliable water supply

doesn’t mean development will occur.

There is also the fact on why many people move to the Sooke region – or other rural areas: we want to leave the city behind.

And then there is the issue of public safety. A recent fire in north Sooke saw firefighters using a pumper truck to collect water across the highway. The reason? No water was available, nor fire hydrants

But even when we take all these factors into consideration, one fact remains and it’s an important one:

we are all entitled to a clean, reliable water source – not matter where we live in the CRD.

The CRD is a burgeoning bureaucracy that often can’t look past the borders of Victoria and Saanich. You can’t guarantee water for 99 per cent of CRD residents and then say those in rural areas can’t have water.

Everyone deserves a safe water sourceWE SAY: You can’t guarantee water to 99% of CRD residents and leave the rural areas behind

HELLO, GOODBYE … For the last 18 months, the RCMP has been struggling to fill civilian job vacancies at the Sooke detachment.

Recently, a key position was filled with the hiring of office manager Yahna Neufeld, who arrives here from Chilliwack RCMP.

Neufeld no sooner had her seat warmed when Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthurlearned that another civilian staffer, Michele Isaac, was leaving for a position with the Vancouver Island Major Crime Unit. McArthur expects to fill the position quickly.

Also leaving is Const. Chrissy Klein, who has been transferred to Nanaimo, while rookie Const. Heidi Sherman is now in Sooke undergoing field training with Const. Reid Miller.

The detachment is now at full strength with the number of officers.

•••WORLDLY PASTOR … Holy Trinity

Anglican Church has welcomed a new pastor into the flock.

Pastor Rev. Dimas Canjura, formerly of El Salvador, is becoming quite acquainted with the Sooke Region.

A person of “great faith,” he willingly shares in the work of God both at Holy Trinity Church and the Church of St. Mary of the Incarnation, in Metchosin.

Welcome, Pastor Canjura.•••

HELP WANTED … They’re lining up to replace Gord Howie at the District of Sooke.

Howie, the district’s chief administrative officer, decided not to renew his three-year contract.

The district received a bundle of applications as the result of a recent job posting. Now it’s up to a committee of three from council, led by Coun. Kerrie Reay. The committee will short-list the applicants and all members of council will decide on the final hiring.

The district hopes to have a replacement by Feb. 1.

•••ON THE RUN … A few weeks ago a

loyal reader dropped me a quick line on runner Robert Butterfield.

The Sooke runner won his age (75-79) category at the recent GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon. Butterfield

finished the half marathon in 2:06:15 – more than four minutes faster than Ken Pungente, who we profiled in a story leading up to the marathon and placed in the top 10 in the 70-74 age category.

Methinks there was a bit of a competition going on here between these two Sooke athletes.

There were 6,819 finishers in the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon – 1,204 in the marathon, 3,257 in the half marathon, 2,358 in the 8K, plus 1,087 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run, for a total of 7,906.

WE ASKED YOU: Is too much made of Halloween?

Yes, but that’s because there are so many strong roots here with haunted houses and all the massive cemeteries.

Robert LeeSooke

No. Halloween is a kids thing. It’s fun, and it’s a tool to scare the hell out of each other.

Gordon BurdenySooke

Yes. The price of costumes is an arm and leg, especially if you have multiple kids, let alone all the candy.

April JordanSooke

I think it is. I don’t like the commercialism of it. Homemade stuff, whether it’s costumes or candy, is much better.

Shirley RoodbolSooke

Readers’ letters: Roundabout, election

Law used to pick and choose

Re: Protesting in a loop (News, Oct. 21)

I’m a bit confused.So, there were complaints

about the fellow bearing signs in Sooke’s new roundabout as well as concerns about the mystery man’s safety.

In the Sooke News Mirror story, “Protesting in a loop” one paragraph stated: “Police have the power under provincial legislation to stop any action that impedes traffic or that could endanger the public.”

I truly hope that next time there is a long string of vehicles parked along, or on, Provincial Highway 14, near the Prestige Hotel and dock, even at times double-parked, that the RCMP take swift action.

It’s most certainly a situation that “impedes traffic” and “endangers the public.”

But perhaps Sooke picks and chooses how it applies laws and bylaws, which would certainly be cause for a protest.

Shannon MoneoSooke

Voting positive instead of negative

If first-past-the-post voting is to continue I suggest we include another box on the ballot where a vote could be against a candidate. Deduct one vote from a candidate’s total to show disapproval of that party.

Of course it is nicer to think positive but in this particular election the main thrust was to defeat Harper’s conservatives. Harper is enjoying the benefit of vote splitting by three other parties.

It’s not necessarily staying in power too long but taking on the role of dictator that is most disgusting, not to mention policies which diminish respect for Canada.

Harper went down in defeat but it would be so much easier if we could’ve voted against him, but the huge effort to Heave Steve is diminished by

voting for one of the others. The agenda seems to be led by the Greens and then the other parties joined the parade.

Let’s hope proportional representation becomes reality, where we can think positive, instead of negative.

Ralph HullSooke

Show your love to roundabout workers

I’d like to put out a positive word for all the men and women who are working tirelessly in the sun, rain, darkness and dirt to complete the Sooke roundabout.

It may appear that this massive project (on a Sooke scale) will never ever be completed and the finished project may still seem to be years away. Have any of you had the opportunity to watch a team of people build a skyscraper?

It just seems like there is a giant ugly hole in the earth where a whole bunch of people are mucking around in the mud. Months, sometimes years, go by and the people are still in this giant hole. Once completed there will be a beautiful 80-storey skyscraper.

Sooke may be a bit of a mess right now, but all the people who are mucking around in the mud will put together a beautiful Sooke centre where people can gather and our children will feel safe.

I encourage you all to take a few moments of your day and watch what they are doing and perhaps pay forward a word of encouragement and a huge “thank you.” They are working hard for you, me, and all of Sooke and the South Island.

A huge thank you to all of you who are working tirelessly to improve the town that I want to live in. You are very appreciated and even when things look grim and sometimes demoralizing, just keep moving forward. We love you!

Dana BernardSooke

Strategic voting not necessary in our riding

I hope it’s accepted now – belatedly – that strategic voting was simply unnecessary in our riding, to help vote in a change of government.

LeadNow must have based its “Conservative swing” riding designation upon the very close NDP/Conservative race here in 2011. But much has changed in four years.

When Dogwood Initiative polled our riding in May, it showed the Conservatives trailing far behind. Two subsequent polls indicated that situation to be stable and when votes were cast on Oct. 19, our Conservative candidate placed fourth.

There were two strategic voting streams blowing through here: the recommendation of LeadNow to vote NDP and the decision of other voters, in the last few days, to join the Liberal sweep.

But if everyone had just voted for their first choice “from the heart,” we would still have had a non-Conservative win. It’s also quite likely that Randall Garrison would still have won – less impressively in terms of numbers, but more positively in terms of community relations. And Green candidate Frances Litman would have had many more votes.

I hope the Trudeau government will make good on its promise of electoral reform, so that citizens will never again have to run the gauntlet of vote-splitting or throwaway vote accusations and guilt. And I hope that the next federal election will be a much pleasant and more community-building experience for all.

Kara MiddletonSooke

RCMP and council handled protest well

Re: Roundabout is no place for protesting (Opinion, Oct. 21)

I actually think the protest was handled well by

district council and RCMP. They gave the man some respect, town folks had great discussions about homelessness and voting, and the man protesting acted in a polite and helpful manner.

Sooke Harbour Players have put the ‘e’ in entertainment in Sooke since 1982. And 2015 ain’t so different.


If there’s any top-rate theatrical performance going on in Sooke, you can be sure of one thing: the Sooke Harbour Players had their hands in it in some shape or form.

And they’re busy as ever to make you smile and entertain you all night long, not with one, but three shows down the pipe and ready for the curtain: Cabaret Sooke’s Sticky Mess, Oct. 30, The Who’s Tommy, Nov. 6 to 21, and Barney Bentall and the Cariboo Express, Nov. 22.

But who are the Players, these unsung

heroes of Sooke entertainment?Well, for one, they’ve played a central

role of providing theatrical performances in Sooke for more than 30 years, with productions pretty much right out of Broadway and off the silver screen.

Over the years, it expanded from just a handful of members to a currently-strong 60-plus production crew that is more or less involved in just about everything that is local theatre, whether it is a kids’ show such as the recent and colourful Wizard of Oz (which also starred Mayor Maja Tait as… the Mayor of Munchkinland) to a full-on, full-blown and sexy cabaret show for those entertainment-hungry night owls out there.

And that’s precisely the idea current Sooke Harbour Players president Steve Anderson wants to keep on track with: variety.

“I want to put Sooke on the map and have people out of Victoria coming here and spending their money here, keeping it all live and local,”

he said. “Instead of going downtown to all the night clubs, catch some cabaret, or a country show, or a kids’ show.”

While Anderson says he’s not a performer, he’s still the glue that both keeps and brings the whole operation together. And, like any major production, there are uniquely-skilled producers per each wing.

On the cabaret side, you have Jill Sweet, a long-time producer, director and performer with companies such as Cirque de Soleil, Just for Laughs and Circus Space UK. Then Mel Dobres, a musician and producer with the Barney Bentall show, and Joel Scheubel, a veteran producer who helped put performances such as Pirates of Penzance, Miss Saigon, Alice in Wonderland and, just recently, Tommy.

Anderson hopes to get even more acts

and something new and different next year at the Edward Milne Community School theatre, thanks to a partnership with the EMCS Society.

“Overall, we’d like to get that theatre hopping, it just sits there empty way too much,” he said, adding that the Players will be trying to get back to their roots in terms of a wider variety of shows, with plans on putting on a dinner theatre in spring.

A Harbour Player is also behind the Youth Show Choir, which is put on by Sarah Wilson, same producer behind Wizard of Oz performance at EMCS.

Anderson said regardless of where the new and old members go, the important part is everyone works together towards the same goal: keep the entertainment in Sooke, and keep it fun and affordable.

“WOW!”... God and His Eternal “NOW!” During the month of November in a special way we remember loved ones departed. November 2nd (ALL SOULS’ DAY) and November 11th (REMEMBRANCE DAY) particularly remind us of this. Often when a loved one dies we feel very powerless...very much so if we were not able to be present or if that person died suddenly. How

can we be lifted from the sense of powerlessness? Turning to prayer for the loved one departed is the difference that makes all the difference! We become empowered! How is this so? As humans we live in time and space. We forget that God does not exist in time and space as we do. He is immortal and in� nite. He has no beginning, He has no end. For Him every moment is NOW! He exists in the “Eternal Present Moment!” And so.... this means that God is ever present to the moment of each person’s birth and death and every moment of our lives in between. He is Back to the Future as well as Back to the Past! It follows, therefore, that any prayers we say a day, a week, a month, a year or decades after the death of a loved one... in God’s “eternal present mind”.... these prayers � gure into the moment of the death of the loved one. At the moment of a person’s death God is present to all our prayers, our love and our desire for that person to go to Heaven no matter when we actually prayed for (or will pray for!) that person. To love a person means to help him or her get to Heaven. Our prayers do make a difference. We are not powerless. Our prayers, whenever said, can help a person make that � nal choice for Jesus. There is a place in Heaven for every person. Jesus did promise us, after all, that He is preparing a place for us in Heaven and then He would come and take us to that place. How wonderful...our prayers, whenever said, become part of that holy moment helping a soul onward to Heaven, our homeland!WOW!... Thank God for His Eternal “NOW!”Fr. Ian Charles Stuart, Pastor, St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church.

Sooke History

Elida PeersContributed

The wedge of land between Sooke’s Prestige Hotel and Whiffin Spit and Wright roads is nowadays filling up pretty quickly with condos and single-family homes. Ninety years ago the scene you see here was photographed between Nordin and Whiffin Spit roads.

The woman in the centre, preparing a meal under the tarp, is Mrs. Ingram, who became the chief cook for the group of Standfast Bible students who congregated in Sooke in 1923-24.

Right across North America there was a movement which had begun late in the 1800s of groups of families banding together in communes, apparently seeking to avoid worldly vices they saw around them, as they awaited “the Second

Coming.” The group built a

temple, using milled alder, just about where Nordin Road is now, and while there were some well-built frame houses which still stand today, most of

the adherents lived in tents.

After the Sooke Region Museum opened in 1977, elderly former adherents and their children began coming in to the museum with

photographs and accounts of their time here in long-ago Sooke.

The group, which numbered between 300 and 400, ran their own school, operated a bakery, a cheese factory, a needlework business and even, for a time, a fish reduction plant on Whiffin Spit. They also billed themselves as the Star Construction Company.

There was one great benefit to the community at large, as their dentist, a Dr. McCarter, took patients from within the wider population as well.

Even after the group had become disillusioned a few years later and moved further up the coast to Port Renfrew, the dentist stayed on locally, opening practices in Victoria and Sooke.

The group of families that moved to Rainbow Valley in Port Renfrew had become smaller in

size, while others left the philosophy behind and moved on to other lifestyles. Descendants have contacted us from Port Alberni, Victoria, Seattle, and from within Sooke’s

own residents as well.So folks, if you live

in that parcel of land around Wright Road, perhaps you might keep an eye out in your back yard, there may be artifacts there

from a group of people who bravely clung to their beliefs almost a century ago.

•••Elida Peers is the

historian for Sooke Region Museum.

Religious commune called Sooke home in 1920s

Sooke Region Museum

It wasn’t much of a shelter, but at least the tarp, braced by alder saplings, kept the rain off, as Standfast Bible students prepared meals just a few hundred metres west of where Sooke’s swanky new hotel now stands.

Sometimes when I � rst run hot water in the morning there is an annoying banging sound in the house. Can you help?

Home WisePlumbing & Drainage

Most likely your house has copper water lines strapped tightly to the underside of your � oor joists. A 50’ run of copper can grow up to about 1/2” as the water inside it increases from room temperature to

140 degrees. � e clips don’t allow travel readily, but there is no holding back that expansion!

Nylon glides can be installed if the ceiling below is exposed. Otherwise it is a formidable task to correct this.

When do Dentures Need to be Replaced?

Westshore/Sooke Denture Clinic: Denturist

250-478-2114 | 6689B Sooke Road

If your dentures are in a drawer because they just “don’t feel right” or are loose or are causing sore spots in your mouth, you should see a denturist to have them evaluated and possibly adjusted, relined or remade. It is

important to know that dentures typically need to be replaced every � ve to seven years because like the rest of your body, your mouth also goes through considerable changes over time that can impact the � t and function of your dentures. Unless you have dental implants, one of the most signi� cant changes that consistently occurs in your mouth is bone shrinkage and it is this bone shrinkage that can a� ect your denture’s � t and function. It is important to continue with regular check up visits to your denturist to make sure your teeth are � tting properly as well as to be examined for any signs of oral cancer. Your denturist can tell you how o� en you need to come in for check- ups.

A Legacy for Our ChildrenCanada’s contribution to World Peace and Freedom is a proud legacy

to inspire children as they develop into the leaders of the future.

Candlelight Tributes are Commemorative ceremonies which inspire andengage young Canadians in learning about Canada’s stellar military history.

6:00 P.M. Tuesday at the Cenotaph

Remembrance Their Legacy......Our Heritage and Our Future!

November 11th

REMEMBRANCE DAY

11th Hour ~ 11th Day ~ 11th MonthRemembrance, summons each generation

to understand the fi nest of Canadian values- freedom, democracy, human dignity and caring

for the greater good of mankind.

When the guns fell silent on the First World War battlefi elds and the Armistice was signed at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, this sacred moment in history was embraced as Armistice day.As Britain and its Commonwealth Dominions began planning Armistice Day services for the following year, and Australian journalist proposed in a letter, that a respectful silence to Remember the Fallen be included in the ceremonies. This letter, scribed by Edward George Honey, was published on May 8, 1919 in the London Evening News and brought to the at-tention of His Majesty King George V.

On November 8, 1919, His Majesty King George V proclaimed...“...all locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be

concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead...”

Some historians believe that the tradition of the silence was in honour of the last soldier killed before the Armistice, Pte. George Price, a Canadian. Pte. Price was killed in action by the last shot of the Great War, two minutes before guns fell silent. In Mons, France at the ornate Grand Place, a commemorative plaque honours the memory of Pte. George Price. He is buried at Saint Symphorien Cemetery in Mons.This silent observance was incorporated into the fi rst Armistice Day service held on Novem-ber 11th, 1919 in Britain and the Commonwealth Dominions. Following the Second World War, Armistice Day was renamed as Remembrance Day to honour the Fallen from all wars, past, present and future.Over time, the silent observance was not consistently observed by all countries. In the year 2000, The Royal Canadian Legion and other Commonwealth nations rallied together to revi-talize the signifi cance of the silence observance and called for an international “Two Minute Wave of Silence.”

Join all Canadians in this Sacred ObservanceRemember and Bear Witness

Comrade Tom LottChair, Poppy Fund, Branch #54 R.C.L.

Once again we are approaching that one day per year when all Canadians are asked to “Remember”. How many of us do just that? Even if it is just a minute of silence in the store, shop or restaurant that remains open, how many actually stop, remain silent, and remind themselves that if it wasn’t for those who have, and continue to, defend this great country, we may not be Canada as we know it today. These veterans gave us all the rights and freedoms we take for granted. All gave some, some gave all.

No person ever went to war and returned the same. The carnage witnessed by some veterans is so severe that a return to their homes in Canada and a “normal” life proved to be too stressful. We hear regularly about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D., formerly known in WW1 as Shell Shock, and WW2 as Battle Fatigue) and we are still developing strategies to deal with it. Many never get to treatment, becoming “Lost Veterans” who fi nd it impossible to re-enter society. And then there are those veterans and families who can not adapt for reasons of training, handicaps, or health.

Fortunately, there is the Royal

Canadian Legion. This organizations dedication to these people can provide some of the needed funding to help these deserving souls. Through the Poppy Fund, the Legion can provide assistance through Cockrell House in Colwood, and various programs supported by The Legion Foundation. These programs include P.T.S.D intervention strategies, Service Dogs for those who need them, and education through B.C.I.T. to assist in the transformation from Service Life to a Civilian World.

Additionally, the Poppy Fund can provide living assistance to Veterans at various stages of their lives including

The Lodge at Broadmead and Ayre Manor here in Sooke. We can support any community organization whose needy include Veterans such as the Loan Cupboard, Sooke Seniors and Meals on Wheels.

Soon you will see Legionnaires, Cadets, and other volunteers in various locations around Sooke seeking your support through donations in exchange for Poppies. All of these “Taggers” are volunteers. They are out there because they understand the seriousness of the need. Please be kind, friendly and generous.

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the Sooke sporting community over the last two years has been the Sooke Thunderbird Midget C Female minor hockey team.

The squad is coming off its second straight championship season, after losing only one game over the last two years.

On Saturday, the Thunderbirds started the 2015-16 campaign on the right foot, slipping past the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies by an 8-6 score.

Haily Dimock scored five goals for Sooke.This year coach Peter Faulkner expects his team to

be challenged with an expanded league, with Nanaimo and Tri-Port (Port Alice, Port Hardy and Port McNeill) offering up the biggest competition.

“I think just based on the exhibition games it’s going to be more competitive and a much closer league,” Faulkner said.

“We’re going to be tested more so than in past years.”A key to the previous team was scoring sensation

Jae-Lyn Dumont, who was to old to play on this year’s team. Filling in the gaps will be veteran players Dimock, Alison Sudlow and Jaime LaFontaine.

“Hopefully what the older girls have learned over the years, they’ll pass on to the younger girls and the team atmosphere will gel,” Faulkner said.

The Thunderbirds take a break from play this weekend, but take to the ice in the Sooke Minor Hockey Ice-Breaker tournament on Nov. 6 to 8 at SEAPARC Leisure Complex arena.

Other offence coming from Sooke players included touchdown receptions from Spencer Logan and Simon Hadley. Sam Lowden punched in a three yarder on a quarterback sneak and Will

Gorchonov rounded off the scoring with a 25-yard bootlegging.

Riley Brefelo also ran a jet sweep for 25 yards and when his quarterback was scrambling and in trouble.

On defence, centre Caleb Carrier had 100 percent snapping. Owen Cheng, Anthony Tucker and Avan Wickheim had numerous play ending tackles.

Salmon fishing in Sooke waters has slowed. The usual strong fall coho salmon runs appear to be considerably weaker than in recent years.

There is coho being caught trolling anchovy or lures out in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but both the sizes and numbers of fish are down.

Most sport fishing boats are reporting catching an average of two or three retainable coho during a day of fishing.

There is a chance the runs of larger northern coho are late, but given we are in late October, that hope is slim.

Most of the successful trollers are reporting covering lots of water from the harbour mouth, straight out to 500 feet of water, then back in towards shore until the coho are located. Best baits: anchovy, anchovy strip, spoons, coho killers, hootchies and squirts.

Soon we should see some winter Chinook

salmon coming into our area, providing some good sport and even better eating.

Halibut fishing has been great, with consistent catches of 15- to 60-pound fish coming from spots very close to the mouth of Sooke harbour. The deeper water, 200 to 300 feet, has been productive for those fishers able to anchor or drift while keeping whole herring or salmon bellies on the bottom.

Played on modern, stronger, yet lighter rods rigged with larger level wind reels and spooled with the new thin but very strong braided lines, halibut can be a wild fight to the boat.

The powerful fight, delicious taste, and high retail price for fresh halibut makes this a very exciting and popular fishery for those willing to spend the time and money required to learn and rig up for this species.

Crab fishing in the harbour remains good with consistent, decent catches of keeper-sized male Dungeness and red

rock crabs coming in from both the public pier and traps dropped from boats.

We knew that our toilet was using water. We didn’t know it was losing water.When we heard that in one year a leaking toilet could waste enough water to fill a swimming pool, we wanted to know if our toilet was water tight. So we picked up a leak detector tablet and did the test. Turns out, our toilet needed a simple tune-up. Now it’s working fine.

Pick up your free leak detector tablets at either 479 Island Highway or 625 Fisgard Street. Or simply call 250.474.9684 to receive them in the mail.

Hicks points out that if the sustainability strategy is ratified, city water can now go anywhere in the region – as long as

property owners or civic governments are willing to pay for it.

“What we face now is that water can only go to urban containment areas and we can’t go outside of that,” Hicks said.

For Tait, she calls the CRD’s reluctance

to look at the issue earlier absurd.“The sentiment that water equals sprawl

is just a weak argument to me,” she said. CRD members will each review and vote

on the change to the growth strategy. All municipalities must agree to the change.

Hicks predicts the process will take up to a year.

“I have faith this will go. I can’t promise it and it’s not the end of the journey, but it’s a hell of a start to it,” Hicks said.

Water won’t produce urban sprawl: mayor

Police and ICBC are urging pedestrians and drivers to be extra cautious as a seasonal spike in pedestrian accidents approaches.

The change in weather and the decrease in daylight leads to almost twice as many accidents involving pedestrians from November to January compared to June to August, said ICBC, which launched its annual safety pedestrian campaign on Wednesday.

The top contributing factors attributed to drivers in crashes with pedestrians are: distraction, failure to yield the right of way and weather. Drivers should take extra time to look for pedestrians before turning, avoid distractions and be ready to yield.

“Drivers in crashes involving pedestrians are often distracted or failing to yield the right of way,” said Supt. Derek Cooke, B.C. RCMP Traffic Services.

“These behaviors are not only against the law, they’re simply unacceptable.”

Pedestrians can help stay safe by making eye contact, wearing bright and reflective clothing and staying focused on the road.

“It’s very dark at this time of the year, so pedestrians need to help reduce the risk of being hurt by obeying traffic signals in intersections and only crossing at designated crosswalks,” Cooke said.

ICBC said drivers were completely at fault in 61 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians from 2009 to 2013. On Vancouver Island, 10 pedestrians are killed and 240 pedestrians are injured in crashed every year.

Sooke Fire Rescue volunteers in Panama

On Oct. 16, six members of the Sooke Fire Department embarked on a training mission to Boquete, Panama.

The trip comes 2.5 years after our previous (and inaugural) visit to Boquete, and is funded through hundreds of hours of fundraising by the participating members.

The schedule of our mission is centered around delivery of one week of theoretical and practical training, in basic and advanced auto extrication techniques, for approximately 40 firefighters from Boquete and the surrounding area.

In addition, we will be delivering donated school supplies to local children and also laying Canadian flags on the graves of four fallen soldiers in Panama City who have yet to receive the honour.

Throughout our trip, the

team will be regularly updating a blog, so that the community can follow our progress. This blog can be found at sookefirefighters.wordpress.com. We can also be followed on Twitter at @FDBSooke.

We thank the community for its support of our fundraising efforts, and are proud to represent Sooke, Sooke Fire Rescue and Canada.

Residents, First Responders earn kudos

My wife and I were visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Sooke on Oct. 9 when we were involved in a collision on Wadams Way and Townsend Road.

We want to extend our appreciation to the members of Sooke Fire Rescue, B..C Ambulance Service and RCMP

members for their prompt and professional response.

We especially would like to thank all of the Sooke residents for the overwhelming response and care they provided at the scene prior to the arrival of emergency responders.

The assistance rendered, provision of warm blankets and caring reassurance we received during that time made an obviously difficult situation substantially easier for us.
