    The Sooke Harbourside Lions were out in force on May 28 to help promote their Twoonie Tuesday drive taking place on June 9. They will be situated in various sites around Sooke looking for toonie donations. The money collected will go to the Sooke Food Bank.

    The Sooke Food Bank supplies groceries to more than 400 families a month and at times the cupboards get bare.

    Electoral area should have same rights as municipalities

    Pirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

    For Mike Hicks it was like training for the Olympics and then having his own country boycott it.

    Hicks, Regional Director for the Juan de Fuca Elec-toral Area, (JDFEA)has been at odds with a section of the new proposed Regional Sus-tainability Strategy (RSS) on

    the issue of water.The RSS, said Hicks, when

    he addressed the Capi-tal Regional District (CRD) Committee of the Whole on May 27, Would deny the Juan de Fuca residents the same opportunity afforded their neighbouring munici-palities to access com-munity water. This bylaw would ensure that 300,000 residents of the CRD would have potential access to water and 5,000 would not.

    In speaking to the direc-tors he said, Firstly: the Webster definition of dis-

    crimination states: The practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other peo-ple or groups of people.

    The Charter of Rights which trumps the RGS (Regional Growth Strategy) or RSS bylaw states under Section 15 that: Every indi-vidual is equal before and under the law

    The Charter recognizes four dimension of equality including substantive equal-ity. It states: Equality under the law is equality in the substance of the law, where

    the content of the law is equal and fair to everyone so that everyone experi-ences the same result.

    Hicks talked about rights, equity and discrimination as to the right of the Juan de Fuca to have the same opportunity for expansion of water as municipalities have.

    He also said that with the Official Community Plans in place for six areas in the JdF, water should not be used as a determination of growth. Hicks represents Malahat, Willis Point, East Sooke,

    Otter Point, Port Renfrew and Shirley/Jordan River plus the Rural Resource Lands of 132,000 hectares.

    The Consortium on Regional Sustainability, made up of environmen-talists, had come before the CRD supporting using water servicing and the elimination of Rural Settle-ment Areas as ways to curb development.

    At the May 27 meeting Hicks made the motion, The Juan de Fuca Elec-toral Area should have the same opportunity for water

    expansion as the munici-palities in the CRD. The motion was seconded by District of Sooke Councillor Rick Kasper.

    At the end of the May 27 meeting, the issue was debated and a very small majority voted to table the issue to allow staff to pre-pare a report on exactly how that would be accom-plished.

    SEAPARC Strategic Planning

    studyThe Sooke Electoral

    Area Parks and Rec-reation Commission (SEAPARC) is undertak-ing a Strategic Planning study to determine facility requirements for the next 5, 10 and 20 years. The popula-tion in the Sooke region is expected to grow sig-nificantly in the coming years placing new and greater demands on the recreation facility. The study is examining options for medium-term additions, short-term expansion and improvements plus the acquisition of more land.

    An information open house was held Tues-day, May 26, in which the public was invited to ask questions and learn about SEAPARCs vision for the future.

    The public is invited to complete the Strate-gic Plan Survey. Please fax or drop off your completed form to SEAPARC.

    CRD and RCMP join

    forcesEach summer, the

    Capital Regional Dis-trict (CRD) and the RCMP join forces to keep parks and trails safe and enjoyable for all visitors.

    Regional parks and trails are very popu-lar, with more than 6.3 million visits annu-ally, said Mike Wal-ton, Senior Manager of CRD Regional Parks. CRD Bylaw Officers work closely with the regions RCMP detach-ments to increase enforcement presence during peak times. This strategy is effective in reducing bylaw viola-tions including alcohol use.

    Once again, we will be partnering with CRD Bylaw Officers at popular regional parks for you to enjoy a safe outdoor experience, said Cst. Alex Brub, spokesperson of West Shore RCMP.

    Patrols will take

    place at regional trails, such as the Galloping Goose, and at beaches and swimming areas in regional parks at Matheson Lake, Mount Work (Durrance Lake), Sooke Potholes, The-tis Lake and Wittys Lagoon. CRD reminds the public that alcohol, smoking, and fires are prohibited at all times in regional parks. From June 1 to September 15, dogs must be on leash when passing through designated beach and picnic areas and are not allowed to stay.

    We appreciate the publics assistance in keeping parks safe and clean. If you see a park violation, please report it to CRD Regional Parks at 250.478.3344, or email [email protected]. For serious inci-dents, please dial 911.

    Drug bust close to school

    At approximately 11:30 p.m. on May 26 members of the Sooke RCMP executed a Search Warrant for controlled drugs in a home on Lanark Road in Sooke.

    We had been alerted to the presence of read-ily available weapons in the home and there-fore the RCMP Island District Emergency Response Team were called in to assist, said S/Sgt. Jeff McAr-thur of the Sooke RCMP.

    Four adult males and a 16-year-old female were arrested at the home and remain in custody at the time of this release.

    The search of the home has now con-cluded, but the inves-tigation continues. A substantial quantity of controlled drugs have been seized, believed to include metham-phetamine, GHB and Psiocybin mushrooms. Drug trafficking para-phernalia has also been seized as well as sto-len property, a replica handgun, machetes and knives, and ammu-nition.

    What we believe to be a significant drug trafficking operation was within 100 metros of Sooke elementary school. The member

    of Sooke Detachment want to send a strong message that this activ-ity will not be tolerated anywhere in this com-munity, especially not such close proximity to our children, said McArthur.

    Open fires restrictedEffective May 27,

    2015, Category 2 open fires will be prohibited in the Coastal Fire Cen-tres jurisdiction to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.

    Waiting for government approval to move forward

    Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

    The fate of the new expanded marina, which was initially set to become a major place for moorage in Port Renfrew, remains unknown as its devel-opers, Pacific Gateway, await a final yae or nay from the provincial gov-ernment.

    In addition to the approval, the project also raised concerns in early May with Ren-frew residents and

    the Pacheedaht First Nations in regards to the impact it would have on the community, some of which included potentially obstructing natural views and dis-rupting important fish-ing corridors.

    Andrew Purdey, CEO of Ruskin Construc-tion and Pacific Gate-way, said the marinas design has already

    been downsized signifi-cantly since then - with pressure remaining on the province to make a decision.

    Weve done all we can and compromised substantially, so now its in the hands of the government, he said. Weve decreased the marina by a third, or two-thirds of the origi-nal size.

    Originally planned for year-round opera-tion, the 150-boat marina was to be located near the mouth of the San Juan river - subsequently replacing the seasonal 55-boat marina that currently operates in the area under a temporary three-year licence.

    With capacity reduced now down to

    97 boats, Purdey said that all the possible adjustments have been made to the original design in response to the communitys con-cerns.

    Weve accommo-dated what we believe are all the viewscape concerns and other concerns that we were aware of to the extent that we could, Pur-

    dey said, adding that beyond this point, trim-ming the design down any further would no longer be economical.

    And though the For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (NRO) have apparently accepted it as feasible, Purdey noted again that its purely a deci-sion now of the com-munity and the govern-ment.

    Whatever their deci-sion is, well respect it, and well either build in accordance with our revised plans, which is a third smaller in every direction, or well just take our capital and develop another marina in another loca-tion where people want development, he said.

    Purdey explained that if the marina doesnt go through, the current one will be significantly reduced to a small private one, albeit that would not be ideal.

    As a Canadian citi-zen, its a real disgrace if we cant responsi-bly develop, its a real shame, he said.

    Purdey was also the lead developer behind the Mill Bay marina, with a similar intention to provide a safe haven for ships trying to ward off rough seas.

    Preparations for upcoming Jamboree in full swingOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

    Believe it or not, we are already in June (where did the rest go?) so that means there is just over a month left to get ready for the 2015 Pacific Jamboree, which will be held in Camp Barnard between July 11 - 18.

    With attendance expected well into the thousands, it equally takes an army of dedi-cated volunteers to put it all together; the community helping the community.

    Case in point last weekend a team of nine Telus employees, friends and family were able to construct and paint 32 walls that will be formed into outdoor showers to accommo-date the approximately 3,000 Scouts, Ventur-ers and Cubs who will arrive in Sooke in early July for the massive Jamboree event.

    In the end, its a way of giving something back, said Dave Ber-toya, manager of ser-vice management at Telus and local Sookie.

    Its all about look-ing after your commu-nity, not just going to back and forth between work and home and spending money, Ber-toya said. Its the com-munity that are using our services, and this is a way to give back

    to it. The volunteer effort

    was part of Telus Day of Giving in which Telus employees across Canada pick an activity in their community to help out with; whether it is cleaning brush, picking up garbage, or building something as trivial as bathroom stalls something which, lets be honest, is important.

    For Bertoya, Camp Barnard also happens to hold a special place in his heart.

    I actually came here as a kid, so for me, its a special place, so any-

    thing thats going on in the Sooke community, I try to support it as best I can, he said.

    He said Telus intent this year was to get 16,000 employees across the country engaged, as well as other volunteers asso-ciated with Telus, with the count up to 14,500 of the initial 16K goal.

    After the Jamboree is finished, Bertoya said all of the wooden stalls will be built in such a way that they can all be taken apart, re-used for another purpose.

    Still, a jamboree of this size is not an easy

    thing to put together.William Schutte, Dep-

    uty Camp Chief and a member of Scouts Canada for nearly a decade, said about 2,206 participants will be in Camp Barnard to perform numerous activities, not including an additional 750 vol-unteers whove offered their services - amaz-ingly, aged anywhere between 14 and well, 100.

    Were working with a $3 million budget to get everything together, five paid staff and many, many generous volun-teers, Schutte said.

    Ive been in scouts for nearly 12 years now. Its a lotta fun, its also a lotta work, but its worth it.

    Schutte, who also teaches archery and canoe courses with his wife, said there will be a number of differ-ent activities running throughout the Jambo-ree, such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboard, mountain biking, rock wall climbing, trips up to the Sooke Potholes for some gold panning, trips into town so visi-tors explore around. There will even be a an overnight trip out to the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.

    Well have all 2,206 participants and sup-port staff camping in the back of the camp, we have 251 acres, and a 16-acre lake. Its a gem he said, adding that a camp ranger will also be on site helping out full-time.

    The next Jamboree will be held again at Camp Barnard, in 2019, though Schutte isnt looking that far ahead he just hopes the weather holds up this time, unlike last years Jamboree.

    Were all pretty excited for this one, but just no rain this time, please, Schutte laughed.

    My tour of the Sooke

    News Mirror office

    Avery WhiteleySpecial to the Sooke News Mirror

    On Wednesday, May 27, 2015 I went for a tour of the Sooke News Mirror to learn about how a newspaper is made.

    I learned all about dummy sheets, how the newspaper is printed, how the newspaper is published, what report-ers and editors do in their jobs, and much

    more. I met Pirjo Raits, the editor, and she took

    me on a lovely tour of the press room.

    One thing I learned about was dummy sheets. A dummy sheet is a special sheet where the publisher plans out which ads are on a cer-tain page of the news-paper. This is where they lay it all out.

    One of the things I enjoyed about the tour was that Pirjo and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful, and they answered all of my questions.

    Another thing I really liked about it was that I could ask as many questions as I liked. It was good.

    If I had to work for a newspaper, Id want to be an editor because self-editing is one of my strengths, and it sounds like lots of fun!

    This was a fun and educational experi-ence, and I recommend that all fellow Sooke citizens take a tour. Its worth it.

    of my husband, Vern Moore.

    ~ Martha & Family

  • Shirley pioneers, Percy Clark and Margaret Anderson

    Driving west past Kirby Creek and up the hill, on the right, is where this attrac-tive young couple lived their married life. Though motor vehicles were just coming into use, horse and buggy, bicycles and walking were more common methods for a gentle-man to call on his lady love.

    Percy was the young-est son of Giles and Lydia Clark, British immigrants to Shir-ley. His elder brothers Henry Clark and Edwin Clark became well-known as pioneers of Otter Point and Shirley districts, respectively.

    Percy had pre-empted 160 acres at the top of the hill in 1902, developing it into a subsistence farm. Ten years later he was ready to begin building a home for the bride he was courting, Margaret, elder daughter of Wil-liam and Azuba Ander-son of Malahat Farm. (For those who dont know where Malahat Farm is, its on Ander-son Road, just east of Muir Creek.) A good hand with the tools, Percy purchased the lumber from the Ander-sons sawmill and set about his carpentry; it took two years and

    then the house was ready for their 1914 wedding.

    Percy and Marga-ret had seven children Evelyn, Hazel, Irene, Gladys, Ken and twins Russell and Ronald, who all attended the little one-room Shirley school, right across the road. The family kept horses, cows, pigs, chickens and a pro-duce garden, and all the youngsters learned to tackle chores early on, demonstrating these work ethics throughout their lives.

    Sadly, Margaret was left a young widow and learned to tackle many jobs herself to support her family. Her skill with a hammer and nails led to her years of championships at the ladies nail driving competition at early All Sooke Days. For a while she ran a tea room at Sooke. Later, she

    became Mrs. Ted Per-ron, and some today will still remember her as an active community worker.

    Percy and Marga-rets eldest daughter Evelyn became one of the noted contribu-tors that helped pro-vide a record of the areas history, once the Sooke Region Museum

    was built. Many of us knew her as Mrs. Elmer Smoky Stolth, as that couple shared many years together living alongside the Sooke River.

    Theft is a crime of

    opportunityEvery month the RCMP report on the incidents

    they respond to. Just recently there was a significant drug bust in Sooke. While this isnt unusual in any town, big or small, it doesnt happen too often in Sooke.

    Sooke is not what it used to be. At one time everyone knew each other and the ner-do-goods were not encouraged to stay. What is troubling is the increase in methamphetamine use which, according to the RCMP, is leading to more property crime. More thieves at work. Properties are broken into and stores are being ripped off, all to fuel a bad drug habit. People are migrating here from the city and bringing their big city habits with them. So, what is the solution?

    Well, for one thing, people should be locking up their vehicles. Its not the Sooke it once was where one could leave their doors unlocked. Robbery is mostly a crime of opportunity and if you give them one, they will take it.

    We have Citizens on Patrol but their numbers are limited. We have Park Watch but their numbers are limited as well. What we need is for people to pay attention to what is going on in their own neighbourhoods. That doesnt mean reporting each and every bit of suspicious activity, what it means is looking out after our neighbourhood. It means paying attention. Check on neighbours home while they are away and if something looks amiss, then investigate further. But, never put your own safety at risk. Thats the way small towns used to be and it is the way it can still be. Its about being a community.

    Sooke is a good community. There are people from all over the world who would love to live here. We often dis our town core, but it is what it is and we who live here are probably more critical and apologetic. We have something special here, even if we cant always see it. Lets not lose sight of what we do have a caring community.

    FEATURE LETTER

    To Mayor Tait and Council,With regard to the roundabout

    project, there are a few things at play here, although it seems there is only the timing of the project that is ultimately negotiable.

    But what will definitely affect our downtown core business is beginning the project in the middle of our busiest season, when in fact it doesnt really matter to the project itself when it starts.

    Two or three years ago there was a highway 14 construction project in front of West Coast Tire, with alternating one-way traffic for quite a few weeks. As an example of how that impacted business, the restaurant I work for had a very strong lunch business virtually every day. Soon after the start of the traffic flow restriction, our lunch and early evening business fell by more than 5o per cent. After a couple of weeks of this I asked a few customers that I recognized as being very regular customers, but not so much any more, what changed; service, food quality or what. Some of these people lived in Victoria, Langford and some were from the Sooke area. The overwhelming reason

    was the traffic restrictions. It disrupted their routines &/or time scheduling and therefore changed when and why they came to or left Sooke. It took a long time after the project was completed to start to see a reverse in that trend. This effect was felt by many businesses in our core.

    My sense is that if we start funneling a significant portion of the traffic up and around the core, as well stopping/restricting traffic through the core, peoples habits and sense of convenience will change and business will suffer dramatically at a time of the year when it is necessary for our businesses to flourish and be very profitable while there is large contingent of visitors here and locals are out and about more as well.

    And the Royal Bank construction will be a major project still in play.To have two separate major construction projects going at the same time in such a busy period just doesnt make any sense.

    I have talked to most of the business operators along Sooke/West Coast Roads and while there is a diversity of opinion on the good or bad of the roundabout, all agree the

    traffic disruption in the middle of summer is a bad idea at best, that Sooke council should stand up for what is the best for Sookes business community and re-schedule the project to the end of September and that as much as possible be done at night, again for the benefit of the business community and the convenience of Sooke residents.

    This is a short version of the overall discussion of this project and we ask that you schedule this project for the back half of September. I think this is a very important situation concerning our business community specifically and I hope the business community can be involved immediately for what is best for Sooke business, employment, and our future.

    Cats should be licensed

    I am writing this letter to express my disappointment that council failed to pass the recently proposed cat bylaw. The bylaw would have required that cats wear ID tags on collars, be tattooed or microchipped.

    One of our very own council members opposed this bylaw because, Tattooing and microchipping costs money. Yes, being a responsible pet owner does cost money. The cost of a tattoo at time of spay/neuter is minimal and micro-chips arent really that expensive either. This same council member opposed ID tags and collars because she witnessed a dog suf-fer when its collar got stuck in a fence. Cat collars are designed to break away when they get entangled so this too is a moot point.

    The fact remains that by having appropriate, visible ID on your pet will help it get back home should it get picked up. This cannot be disputed. It seems odd to me that any

    responsible pet owner would think its appro-priate to have their wander with no way of identifying where it belonged and how to get it back home.

    Another council member brought up that they dont receive that many cat com-plaints about cats. Well, that doesnt mean that people arent fed up with cats roaming at large, pooping in their gardens, killing birds, running out into traf-fic, fighting and spray-ing. It only means that nobody is calling the municipality to com-plain.

    Cats are sent to the CRD when they cant find an owner. Within four days the CRD is within its legal right to spay/neuter and adopt that same cat out to a new family if you do not go there and pick it up. Most people dont even look for a missing cat until it has been gone for longer than that. Wouldnt it be much easier to have your cats ID known so that all of this can be

    avoided? With a tattoo or chip or tag your cat will likely never leave Sooke. These things are easily traced with a phone call. Wouldnt you want to know where your cat was if it went missing?

    Another point I would like to make is that I hear a lot of people using the term cash grab when the topic of cat licensing comes up. Nothing can be fur-ther from the truth. The cost of providing shel-ter, veterinary care and bylaw enforcement of stray animals is very expensive. The fee paid to license a cat would only help offset those costs, nobody would be profiting anything from it. Just answer thisthe next time that the CRD has to drive out here, pick up a cat, feed it, house it, provide vet care to itwho is paying for that? You are, in the 76K that we pay every year for animal bylaw enforce-ment. These costs will only continue to rise in the future and unless something is done to

    offset costs, you, the taxpayer will pay more out of pocket.

    Dog owners in this community are expected to keep their dogs under effective control and have a dog license. Cats require no control and no license... does that make sense?

    No compassion for deer

    To the driver of the red truck with black canopy that hit the deer on Whiffin Spit Road about 7:30 p.m. Thursday night. Why did you not stop? Why did you actually accel-erate after hitting the deer? My neighbours heard you hit the deer, then accelerate and my husband saw you as he returned home from work seconds after it happened. Coward. My husband had to deal with the carnage you left behind a dead full-term mother

    deer now burst open in the middle of the road with two babies alive spilling out of her. My poor husband had to see this and had to pull the deceased adult deer and babies off the road, soon others gathered and kind folks took the babies to the Wild Arc or a vet. I am not sure of the outcome of this horrid tale.

    I wish to thank the person who took the time to acknowledge the carnage with flow-ers and thank you to Mainline road con-tractors who arrived later that evening and removed the deceased deer.

    This was a life, I know there is a deer problem but still show some compassion, driver of red truck.

    What a sight for all to see on the road peo-ple walking with chil-dren abruptly turned around seeing what lay ahead. It actually made traffic slow down in this area of Whiffin Spit for awhile. I wish people would drive slower on Whiffin Spit road. Please.

    We asked: What did you do for your graduation party?

    I was at a bush party fully man-aged by parents. Only grads

    were allowed, and any kid going out was not allowed to drive,

    they had to be dropped off. At the end, everyone who wanted

    to get drunk got very, very drunk and no one got hurt.

    Cedric NagySooke

    I went to someone elses gradu-ation and it was this quiet little

    party, it was fun.

    Ashley ChristensenSooke

    I did home school, so I didn't really have a graduation party.

    Jessie CockingSooke

    I went to a friends party after-wards, we ate, we drank, we laughed, it was a lot of fun.

    The Community Ser-vices Committee (CSC) usually awards about $10,000 per year in new applications and a fur-ther $2,500 in ongoing annual grants.

    This year, where the requests were specific, the awards were for the requested amount. Thats not always pos-sible but we try.

    Every intake the quality of the grant applications improves. It is such a pleasure to make these awards toward such worthy endeavors in our com-munity.

    Ecole Poirier Nature Playground - $2000

    EMCS Societys Play & Learn Camp - $2000

    EMCS Band Program - approx $3000 (includ-ing $832 in previously awarded funds) for 36 band chairs

    EMCS Track & Field Program - $600 for par-ticipation fees

    Sooke Navy League - $336 for a portable sound system

    Sooke Fine Arts - $250 for paint and painting supplies for the pump house mural project

    In addition, we are also pleased to partner again with Sooke Lions in a local humanitarian project with amatching grant of $1,000.

    Along with the smaller grants, we take on large capital proj-ects like the Rotary Pier. Last year we chose to do several smaller projects instead of a large one, purchas-ing a class set of iPads for Sooke Elementary, funding new accessible washrooms at Camp Barnard, refurbishing a cabin at the Girl Guide Camp on Sooke River road and, with funding from the Sooke District

    and Juan de Fuca Dis-trict, renovating the Sooke Food Bank.

    We use weighted criteria to make deci-sions about new appli-cations. These include the degree of public benefit, impact or dem-onstrated need, the opportunity for mem-bers to give hands-on service, partnership opportunities espe-cially when it lever-ages or matches other funding, and where the demographic or activity aligns with our major focuses of youth, literacy and humanitar-ian aid.

    The CSC is one of several active Rotary committees focused within the Sooke com-munity - each with their own budget. A Youth Committee handles our annual post-secondary bursaries ($7,000) and other youth grants. An active Literacy Commit-tee works with many other local groups both in the community and regionally.

    We are able to lever-age the money we raise in the community with grants from the Rotary District, through part-nerships with other service clubs, local and regional businesses and trades, and with

    gaming funds from the Province.

    The information about our grants is on our home page at www.sookerotary.com . The next grant deadline is October 15. Links to application forms are at the bottom of our home page.

    Since itsinception in 1987, the Rotary Club of Sooke has focused on service -- our belief is that actions speak louder than words. Our club sponsors and sup-ports many community

    and world initiatives, often partnering with other local organiza-tions.

    The clubs current strategic plan focuses onthree key areas:

    1. Make a difference in our community: our clubs key focus remains the funding of major projects in Sooke and providing service for Sookes needs. We strive to improve our knowledge of commu-nity needs, in particular homelessness and pov-erty, and seek partner-

    ship opportunities to help support local non-profit organizations. Our club will continue its focus on youth men-torship.

    2. Make a differ-ence in the world: while community sup-port remains our main focus, we strive to sup-port worthwhile inter-national projects. Some projects are larger-scale Rotary Interna-

    tional initiatives, while others are small-scale grassroots direct assis-tance -- people from Sooke reaching out to help people in other parts of the world.

    3. Make a difference to members: we strive to ensure club mem-bers are engaged, see-ing the good Sooke Rotary is doing in our community, and that members are enjoy-

    ing the fellowship, friendship, and fun thatRotary offers.
