Sooke Fire Rescue responds to medical emergencies when ambulances unavailable
Kevin LairdSooke News Mirror
Changes to protocol have led to slower ambulance response times, says Sooke’s fire chief.
The B.C. Ambulance Service changed its resource allocation plan, downgrading the response to 74 medical situations from Code 3 to Code 2. Instead of an ambulance being dispatched with lights and sirens, they’re treated as a routine.
“There’s logic behind it, but it falls short in rural areas,” said Sooke Fire Chief Steve Sorensen.
Sooke was once considered a rural station with two stations and one full-time unit chief. Other paramedics were part-time and available by pager.
With the reallocation, Sooke became part of the Greater Victoria cache of ambulances. Now Sooke is just one station that responds to incidents throughout the region, based on availability.
The result? Ambulances are taking
time to respond and more pressure is being applied to Sooke Fire Rescue firefighters, who respond to medical emergencies when ambulances aren’t available.
Recently, Sooke firefighters waited more than 50 minutes at a medical call for an ambulance to arrive, and of 54 first responder calls firefighters answered this year, ambulance paramedics took more than 10 minutes to arrive, Sorensen said.
Peter Thorpe, executive director of metro operations for B.C. Ambulance Service, said calls and response times have increased in Sooke over the last three years from 1,012 calls to 1,252 in 2014-15. It takes an ambulance, on
average, nine minutes and 15 seconds to respond on a Code 3 call and 12:14 on Code 2.
“I have great empathy for your [fire department]. At the end of the day they do
arrive on the scene first, and on some occasions wait a period of time for an [ambulance] to come,” Thorpe said.
The Sooke ambulance station responds to about 2,500 calls a year in the Greater Sooke area. Sooke Fire Rescue answers 1,000 calls and about 45 percent of those are for medical emergencies.

“We don’t mind going on the calls, but when we have to wait 20 minutes for the ambulance to get there that’s taking us out of service that much longer.”

Film project highlights Woodside FarmThe oldest
continuously operated Canadian farm west of the Great Lakes is the star of a new film spearheaded by the Sooke Region Historical Society.
The film on Woodside Farm has been progressing for several months with a group of volunteers and recently Sooke Home Hardware signed on as a major sponsor.
Woodside Farm, on Westcoast Road, was settled by John and Ann Muir in 1851.
The Muirs were an enterprising family and were among those that developed the economy of the new colony.
In 1917, the Glinz family took over farming the property and was joined later by the Wilford family. Peter Wilford operates the farm today.
Many individuals connected to the farm’s history have been interviewed for the documentary film.
Target date for the debut of the film is next September, and it
is hoped the film will herald the beginning of Sooke’s celebrations to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary.
Committee members contributing to the film project include: Charlie Glinz, Perth, Australia; Lorne and Lynne Frizzell, Calgary; film-maker Michael Peterson, Metchosin; Beverly Myers, Victoria; and from Sooke Lee Boyko, Ivan Bjornholt, Liz Johnson, Wendal and Wendy Milne, Joan O’Donnell, Elida Peers,
Peter and Jeannette Wilford and Ray Vowels.
Sooke RCMP answered only seven calls on Halloween, making it a pretty silent night for ghosts and goblins.
The majority of calls dealt with Halloween revelries leaving house parties.
Extra officers were on patrol while children were out trick-or-treating. The detachment was assisted by four officers from the Integrated Road Safety Unit throughout the evening.
Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur said Sooke RCMP have been busy with a call load which has not slowed in pace since
the summer. Over the past
week, there have
been 140 calls for service and criminal investigations.

TIP
RULES for the ROUNDABOUT
Traffic cop offers advice on driving traffic circleKevin LairdSooke News Mirror
The Capital Region’s top traffic cop says negotiating a roundabout is as easy, well, going around in a circle.
Staff Sgt. James Anderson, commander of the Integrated Road Road Safet Unit, said learning to drive in a traffic circle is more about doing than not doing.
“It seems if driving in a traffic circle is not on your everyday route, it’s more difficult for some people,” Anderson said.
“It’s an education, a work in progress for drivers to get used to traffic circles.”
For police, the biggest concern is for people to signal.
“Signal which way you are going to go, especially if you are staying inside the traffic circle where you’re not going to exit right away,” Anderson said.
“People who want to enter the traffic circle like to know where you are going once you are in the traffic circle. The signalling is probably the biggest part.”
Anderson said there are few laws that police can use as enforcement tools, but by and large, few tickets are written by police.
The biggest infractions: Failing to yield before entering the traffic circle and failing to signal to leave the traffic circle.
“We don’t receive complaints about roundabouts, and serious traffic and fatal collisions statistics are very minimal, if at all in roundabouts in the CRD,” he said.
Anderson
Never stop in a roundabout unless traffic conditions require it.

Sooke’s town centre construction project has gone over budget by $594,965, district council heard last week.
But municipal taxpayers won’t be on the hook. The shortfall will be covered with funds allocated for a cancelled road project.
Earlier this year, the district entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to build a roundabout, which fuses Sooke Road, Brownsey Boulevard and Evergreen Centre into one loop.
The project also includes a complete revamp of Sooke Road between Otter Point
and Church roads that includes new sidewalks, crosswalks, street lighting, curbs, bike lanes and bus shelters, a total of $6.8 million of work.
There were unexpected findings during the excavation portion of the project including redundant items such as pipes leading to nowhere and abandoned utilities, said municipal engineer Elisabeth Nelson.
There were also some design changes initiated by the district and redesigns of bus turnouts in front of 6661 and 6670 Sooke Rd.
Before district incorporation in 1999, much of the work on Sooke infrastructure was handled by the Capital Regional
District or the Ministry of Highways.
“We’ve got 40 to 50 years of history underground and really nobody knew what the heck was under there,” said Coun. Rick Kasper.
“It’s been an ongoing problem over the years. People assumed there were pipes under there, but they didn’t hook up to anything.”
Finance director Michael Dillabaugh said there will be no impact on this year’s taxes and it won’t be carry forwarded into next year.
The district will cover off the additional expenses by using reserve funds and taxes allocated for phase II of Grant Road project.
No price
contingency was built into the project, which Dillabaugh called an oversight.
A ministry spokesperson said only the municipal project is over-budget.
The town centre project is expected to be completed by mid-November.

Telus Communications is building a new cellphone tower in the centre of Sooke.
District of Sooke council approved a plan that will see a 15-metre tower built at the Telus building at 6683 Sooke Rd. The tower will be similar in height and diameter to a hydro utility pole. The infrastructure will be contained within the tower.
The new tower will improve network service in town centre, East Sooke and towards Sooke Hills. Telus already has a larger tower in East Sooke.
On average, network sites are handling twice as much traffic
year over year, and it means you need more tower sites to offload cell data requirements, said Chad Marlatt, a Telus representative.
The tower will minimize drop calls, slow uploads and downloads or not being to make a call all together.
“If we really want to improve service we need to have antennas closer to where
people are using their phones,” Marlatt said.
Consultation for the proposed cell site began in August 2014 when 52 residents within 100 metres of the property were contacted by Telus. Only four people made comments with concerns ranging from health and safety to visibility of the pole.
Any wireless installer or operator must follow Health Canada regulations.
“It’s very low power technology that we’re using here, and it’s extremely lower than what’s allowed by Health Canada (less than one per cent),” Marlatt said.
Several years ago a larger tower was proposed in the town centre
by Wind Mobile. District council rejected the proposal after community opposition.
This time Telus only needed “concurrence” from Sooke council at the request of Industry Canada, a federal government regulator.
Coun. Kevin Pearson said his concern was that the tower would not be intrusive and interfere with plans to beautify the town centre.
He encouraged Telus to work with the municipality on beautification plans, including work on the outside of Telus building.
Work on the tower is expected to start in 2016.
Telus Communications set to build new cell tower
This past summer popular fishing areas throughout the province saw enhanced protection with more conservation officers on patrol – thanks to a funding boost of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C.
With the society’s contribution, conservation officers have worked an additional 2,050 hours patrolling B.C.’s freshwater streams and lakes..
A total of 4,171 anglers’ licenses were checked, finding 634 to be out of compliance. This resulted in 410 written warnings and 221 provincial and federal tickets issued.

They Said It
Our View
Anyone who has driven on B.C. roads for any length of time has been there – a vehicle races past you at speeds well above the posted limit and then immediately cuts you off with a dangerous lane change.
Then there are the drivers who’ll race through a stale yellow light, rather than wait two minutes for the next green, or the ones who jump the green to get in a left turn before oncoming traffic has a chance to move.
There is no shortage of aggressive drivers on our roads. As much as
we all know it’s illegal and incredibly dangerous, it’s behaviour we’ve all come to expect and, to some degree, accept.
We might sigh, and ease our foot off the accelerator a little bit, just to give the aggressor a chance to move a bit farther along and minimize our own risk of getting caught up in any carnage they might generate.
But it’s so common, it barely raises an eyebrow.
Regardless, on roads as busy as the ones British Columbians drive every day – roads that handle
everything from cyclists to semis – there is a whole lot going on for even the most experienced driver to take in.
We’ve all witnessed terrible accidents on the roads where police, firefighters and paramedics are fighting to save lives.
Regardless of whether the cause was speed, distraction, road conditions, vehicle malfunction or some combination — unless it was a medical emergency, we’re also pretty certain that it could have been avoided.
Whether it’s slowing down, paying closer attention or ensuring a vehicle is properly maintained, we all have a responsibility to ensure that our actions don’t put others in harm’s way.
As winter approaches, all drivers – not just new ones – need to pay closer attention to everything that is going on around them.
Pay attention when behind the wheelWE SAY: Be road-wise. There is a whole lot going on for even the most experienced driver to take in.
Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics.
A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies.
Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One committed suicide.
We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel
testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority.
Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subsequent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble.
It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from investigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone.
There will be more sound and fury
over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information.
The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails?
The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies.
There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling
mountain caribou herds.Protesters, pop stars and
politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province.
Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?
No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

‘Otter Point 500’ claims another victim
I wasn’t surprised last Wednesday to see yet another car meets big tree incident along what I call “The Otter Point 500.”
Anybody who drives Otter Point Road regularly witnesses reckless speeding, tailgating, and over-the-centre-line gambits by both passenger and commercial vehicles.
Given that road’s blind curves, hilly terrain, wandering deer, and hidden driveways, one would think a smart person would learn some extra caution. Evidently not in too many cases.
With a new member being added to our local RCMP detachment, one can only hope that the “500” will get patrolled more regularly?
Andy NeimersSooke
No difference between protester, politicians
Re: Roundabout is no place for protesting (Our View, Oct. 21)
When did Sooke district council pass a bylaw removing us as a democratic society? Will the editor or mayor explain the difference between a group urging us to vote and a candidate asking us to vote for them?
Would the Lionesses standing on the roundabout with a duck render the same opinion?
Mieshkia DashSooke
A new Canadian political identity
It felt like the spirit of Christmas arrived two months early in Sooke. There was a palpable sense of lightness and joy wherever I went in
Sooke to do my errands on Oct. 20. With no Liberals elected on the Island, the fact
that Stephen Harper’s Conservatives were out was cause for jubilation.
Much has been made of the issue of security risks to Canada. Harper’s direct personal attacks on Russian’s President Putin created a new low. The similarity between the two leaders, Putin and Harper’s oppressive directorship is ironic.
Harper’s demonstrated lack of respect for U.S. President Barack Obama highlighted again his own behavior contributes its own kind of security risk. Ego drowned his common sense.
The Liberal honeymoon will end as the hard work begins. It seems only right the sun is shining today as we enjoy our new Canadian political identity.

‘Ugly blue box’ mars Whiffin Spit’s beauty
Anyone who has ever walked around Whiffin Spit will agree there is nothing but beautiful vistas wherever you look.
I beg to differ.As the lighthouse comes in view your vision
is assaulted by a huge, ugly blue box with garish white lettering.
Now, I understand this contains very important equipment to be deployed in case of a maritime oil spill and, of course, should be maintained in that position.
However, I can’t help wondering if a group of local artistic people could transform this blue box into looking like a fisherman’s cottage with painted windows, a false roof, and maybe an old dingy and a few fishing nets.

A letter-writer asks if the same rules apply for everyone who chooses to use the roundabout for political demonstration or otherwise.

Once again comes that time of year when the sniffles, coughing and hot liquids is the norm, prefacing yet another cold and flu season. With it also comes the age-old question: should I get my flu shot?
If you want a majority vote, the question is yes – you should.
And even though no flu vaccine is 100 per cent guaranteed, in most years it has shown a 60 per cent effectiveness in healthy adults, according to Island Health.
There are, however a few things to keep in mind with that, said Island Health medical officer Dr. Dee Hoyano, who said that while a single flu shot gives you protection throughout the flu season (or about six months), it isn’t a long lasting immunity.
“The strains in the vaccine will change year to year, so if you want protection from what is currently circulating, then you need to have seasonal vaccine,” she said, adding that the flu shot is designed to keep up to date with the type of influenza at hand.
Still, nothing is guaranteed. Last year, the flu vaccine during the December-January season was universally regarded as ineffective, as many who had their shots still managed to get sick.
Hoyano said part of the reason why that happened is because one of the three strains in the vaccine (ever year there are three) was not similar at all to what was in the shot itself. The other two, however, were “pretty good” in terms of their matching.
Fortunately, several tweaks were made to this year’s flu shot, allowing it to provide a higher level of protection, but Hoyano said it’s too early to tell on how effective it will be.
“Influenza changes gradually over time, so at this point it does look like it’ll be a slightly different kind of virus over last year. It won’t feel any different
when you get sick, so the formulation we have of the vaccine looks like it should be better than last year in terms of providing protection,” she said.
Hoyano pointed out that even though there’s no sign of a new influenza pandemic yet, people are still encouraged to get themselves immunized as early as possible going into the season.
Contrary to popular belief, a flu shot will not protect you from infection the day-of, as your body takes at least a couple of weeks to build up a full immune response. And, if you do develop it well after you’ve administered the shot, you still may have a
much milder form of it.Not much has
changed in terms of who’s at risk either. The elderly, children under five and adults who have existing chronic health conditions remain a priority.
Infection of influenza also continues as “droplet spread”, which means via bodily fluids, coughing/sneezing, touching something that is contaminated and putting that in your mouth, eyes or nose.
Hoyano added that young siblings living and playing in the same house will also be at higher risk of getting each other infected.
As for possible reactions from the flu vaccine, the number of people who experience serious side effects is quite low, Hoyano said, with the most common as redness and a sore arm. Some people may also feel a little fluish after the shot, which is usually a good sign, because that’s a sign the body is adapting to the vaccine.
That’s not to say that serious side effects, albeit very rare, are
impossible either. It’s also important for
people to distinguish a cold from full-blown influenza, said Ronald Kumar, pharmacist and owner at Peoples Drug Mart, adding that getting a flu shot on time may very well prevent weeks of debilitating body aches, fever, loss of appetite, among other not-so-pleasant
symptoms.“You can’t tell how
bad the flu season has been until after it is over, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get your flu shot done ahead of time,” Kumar said, adding that on average, his pharmacy will administer between 200 to 300 doses until they run out.
Island Health officials recommend flu shot
Flu shot still worth the protection despite last
year’s failure, doctor says

Remote areas a common place for people to abandon animals, says CRD officialOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
Ten farm chickens were recovered by Capital Regional District animal control officers after their former owner dumped them in the French Beach and Muir Creek area recently.
According to a Sooke News Mirror reader, who wished to remain anonymous, around 30 chickens were left to their own devices, 20 of which are still unaccounted for.
This isn’t the first time this happened in this remote area, as well as many others. The CRD has recovered countless abandoned animals, from chickens, to geese, cats, dogs, even reptiles.
Don Brown, CRD chief bylaw officer said even though no one came to claim the remaining 10 chickens, luckily the landlord on which the CRD shelter is situated also has chickens, and will likely take them in.
Still, Brown pointed out that abandoning animals and birds, especially in such a wild and remote area, essentially sends them to a brutal death, as they have no way of surviving in the same neighbourhood as raccoons, bears, cougars and other predators.
There can be fines as well under the Cruelty of Animals Act if someone is caught.
“A person can be charged under the bylaw if they did it deliberately, and if they did it multiple times and didn’t learn from the tickets, we would potentially charge them under the offence act which can go up to $10,000,” Brown said, adding that on top of the charges that will also include fines for having animals at large.
After all, care for a single animal or bird in a shelter adds up. As such, the fines can multiply
and grow as well. Currently, there is a $10 impoundment fee and a $5 maintenance and sustenance fee for each 24 hour period, per animal or bird.
If the animal remains in the shelter for more than four days without a claim, they become CRD property.
District council has appointed five residents to its recently resurrected Sooke Program of the Arts committee.
The five include Lorna Cosper, Drew
Johnston, Frederique Philip, John David Russell and Bob Tully. Council’s liaison on the committee is Coun. Brenda Parkinson.
The SPA committee replaces the
Mayor’s Public Advisory Panel-Arts and Beautification. Its first major task will look at beautifying the new town centre and roundabout. Several other projects are also
in the works, including a mural project to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017.
The committee’s first meeting is Nov. 25.

Sooke Fire Rescue is operating with the lowest number of available volunteer firefighters in recent history, says Fire Chief Steven Sorensen in a report to district council.
At the end of September, there were 21 volunteer firefighters with three on leave of absence. Historically, the fire department has been staffed with more than 40 volunteers.
Sooke Fire Rescue also has five career firefighters and 11 volunteers in a support role.
“If the drop in personnel wasn’t enough of a challenge, a dramatic
increase in call volume has certainly added to the workload,” Sorensen said.
The first nine months of the year has seen the fire department respond to almost the same amount of emergency calls as was seen in 2014.
“These constant increases are starting to strain the resources of the fire department,” Sorensen said.
Sooke and Metchosin fire departments are working together to attract more volunteers. Plans are to sign up 12 new members with up to six for each department. The testing and screening process began last month with the first training sessions set for January.
Fewer firefighters in ranks of Sooke Fire Rescue, says chief

The District of Sooke’s budget appears to be in good stead heading into the fourth quarter.
Director of finance Michael Dillabaugh painted a rosy picture for district council when he tabled the third quarter budget variance report
last week.“Staff [has] done an
analysis of the revenues and expenditures and while some are above and below budget for both categories, the overall budget is within budget for 2015 as the end of September and projected to be within budget at the end of the fiscal year,” wrote Dillabaugh.
Building permit fees are likely to be under budget for the year, but the revenue side also saw a 37,996 per cent increase in miscellaneous revenue due to a $400,000 payment from Sunriver Estates for playing fields. The money will be transferred to a reserve account.
Municipal budget hits numbers in third quarterBudget on target for the year, says finance director

The Victoria Hospitals Foundation will raise funds for two new interventional angiography systems during its fall fundraising campaign.
The equipment allows doctors to see inside blood vessels and internal organs so they can perform life-saving procedures.
“We are calling on our community to help us raise $1.5 million for these sophisticated systems that will be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including stroke, renal failure and osteoporosis,” said Cathy McIntyre, the foundation’s board chair.
“This is a special campaign as every gift we receive will be matched by a generous anonymous donor up to a total of $750,000.”
Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals are the only referral centres on Vancouver Island for a variety of interventional radiology treatments. Ten to 12 procedures a day and more than
2,500 a year will be done with the interventional angiography systems.
Some of the procedures done with these machines include:n Removing blood clots from arteries and
veinsn Establishing vascular access to allow kidney
dialysisn Stabilizing spinal fractures due to
osteoporosis n Stopping internal bleeding following trauma
or surgeryn Treating uterine fibroids to avoid
hysterectomy Contributions to the campaign can be made
by calling 250-519-1750 or donating online at victoriahf.ca.

Curator’s Corner
Brianna ShambrookContributed
The Sooke Region Museum is pleased to announce a new exhibit titled Tales of Woe and Whimsy. This exhibit will show the works of local sculpture artist Jan Johnson (1943-2011).
Jan’s sculptures are composed of various junkyard detritus and welded together to form moving scenes that portray various themes such as militarism and subjugation. In this exhibit, the chosen sculptures focus on themes of woe and whimsy.
After a harrowing tour of duty during the Indo-China war, Jan came to Canada and settled first in Ontario and then in Sooke in 1976. As a logistics and transportation platoon leader in Vietnam, Jan witnessed the senselessness of war. He translated his complex thoughts about what he witnessed into metal sculptures. This exhibit has 34 sculptures, but Jan created more than 400 works in his
lifetime.The aesthetic goal
was to have the exhibit space reflect Jan’s workshop and leave a very rustic impression. In the exhibit you will find a table that Jan welded on, his welding apron and masks, and a selection of his tools. The walls in Jan’s workshop are covered in posters that inspired him; we took some of these posters and put them in the exhibit.
Visitors will notice that we made a lot of our own displays using wood. We obtained all our wood materials from the Sooke lumber yard on Idlemore Road (Xemex Industries Ltd.). Our exhibit tech built shelves as long as 10
feet to accommodate the sculptures. Also, instead of using typical plinths for this exhibit, we thought outside the box. We had stumps cut from logs at the lumber yard and have used those to support some sculptures.
In the exhibit are many sculptures that portray topics of mythology, religion and fairy tales. For example, sculptures depicting Little Red Riding Hood, Buddha, Moby Dick and the Greek Minotaur are on display. Also in the exhibit are some details on Jan’s funky house that he shared with his wife Mary-Alice. Their house has been featured on HGTV’s program Weird Homes due to its unique architectural features. For instance, there is a giant ear in the kitchen and a giant nose in the bedroom. Their land, which backs onto DeMamiel Creek, is also memorable as it is filled with various metal scraps and props and, of course, many of Jan’s sculptures.
This exhibit features other talents too. Photographs by James R. Page capture small
details in the presented sculptures and Kay Lovett has edited a film that shows multiple interviews of Jan including clips from Weird Homes.
The exhibit at the Sooke Region Museum
runs until March 31. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

Sooke History
Elida PeersContributed
We understand the block of land here on Sooke Road, just east of the Otter Point Road corner, was owned from the early 1900s by Adam Godtel and then his son Louis Gettle.
Automobiles were just coming into vogue during the 1920s and Louis built a gas outlet with two Union gas pumps in 1928. Darryl Sheilds recalls that in her teens, his mother Florence got a job there pumping gas (in those days, the gas was actually pumped).
By the time this photo was taken in 1958, Eric Phillips Sr. had come to town and bought the corner tract of land where the two pumps stood and built a fine new BA station on the original spot.
Sadly, the Gettle children, whose dad ran the original station, had been left fatherless in 1929 when he was accidently shot by the Presbyterian minister Samuel Lundie in a hunting tragedy.
Another tragedy occurred after the Gettle incident, when A.C. McLennan, who operated a small non-prescription drugstore behind the gas pumps, lost his life in a fire there in 1945. It was soon after, in 1946, that Eric Phillips Sr. arrived and within a few years, had established a much-expanded service enterprise, still owned by the Phillips family today.
On the right hand side of the photo you can see scattered buildings, but that property also underwent change when it was bought by entrepreneur Bob Hughes, a new pool hall and bowling alley attracted dozens of bowling teams over the next couple of decades.
Today this area houses a restaurant and other businesses.
The hip-roofed building standing behind the shiny new service station in the photo is the Louis and Betty Gettle family home. After the Gettle time, it had been purchased as
a family home by logging contractor Archie Manzer and later rented out to one of his truck drivers, George Pimlott.
This house was then in use by the Phillips family until about 1960, when it was relocated to Grant Road, becoming home to the Evan Haldane family. It still stands on Grant today, though altered in style.
The Phillips family continued with renovation and expansion on the corner property and Eric Phillips Jr. and his brother Richard tell us that over the years their gas pumps have gone from BA to Gulf to Petro-Can. Since Eric Jr.’s retirement, the enterprise has been leased to another operator.
There’s an enchanting
little story from Muriel (Gettle) Boyle, now living in Burnaby. Muriel, now 93, has told us that a favourite memory of growing up in the house pictured, was lying in bed at night and listening to a fascinating sound. It was one of the Swiss cowhands working for the Glinz family, at Woodside Farm out on West Coast Road.
Muriel believes the cowhand was walking home to Woodside from an evening of pubbing, and the melodic Swiss yodeling she heard has stayed with her forever – the beautiful and haunting memory almost brings tears to her eyes.

The Otter Point and Sooke roads intersection has often been called the historically busiest corner in Sooke, and perhaps pumping gas there for almost a century proves the point.

As the seasons change, we are pleased to welcome the exciting changes in our Town Centre. � ese past months have been very busy for the District with the commencement of our Town Centre improvements. We appreciate the consideration of our local businesses and the patience of the travelling public throughout construction.
� is past summer was exceptionally hot and dry and the potential for a serious interface � re was severe. We are very thankful for our Fire Department, dedicated volunteers and neighbouring departments for their commitment to public safety.
Council members are actively participating on our existing and newly formed committees. � e Parks and Trails Advisory Committee has toured our community parks and is now working on recommendations for improvements. � e Community Centre Advisory Committee continues to explore options for facilities to accommodate our diverse and growing population. Council has also re-established the Sooke Program of the Arts Committee to enable Sooke to be visibly recognized as an artistic community with exceptional local talent and our Long Term Financial Planning Committee will provide guidance to Council on capital projects
in the years to come.� e Mayor’s Primary Health
Working Group continually strives for a healthy community, ongoing research into improved medical services and infrastructure, improving care to vulnerable populations and greater community engagement and advocacy work. Accomplishments and priorities will be shared with the community in 2016.
Our adopted Strategic Plan continues to provide a clear focus for Council with many of the objectives well under way. Council is already planning the 2016 work plan, next phase of infrastructure improvements
and the associated budget.As the � rst year of this Term
draws to a close, I would like to acknowledge the Sooke community for its support, all members of Council for their contributions, team work and dedication as well as our District sta� for their considerable e� orts and expertise. Together we have had a successful year in realizing the vision of a caring, prosperous community with an attractive Town Centre and I am looking forward to our next steps in realizing Sooke’s incredible potential.

The hotels will fill up and the players arriving soon to lace up for the 2015 Fall Female Face-Off, an annual tournament hosted each year by Sooke Minor Hockey.
Representing Sooke are more than 50 players, making up three different squads, and they’ll be facing off against visiting teams from Tri-Cities, North Shore, Juan de Fuca and Nanaimo.
“It’s the biggest tournament we [Sooke Minor Hockey] have in the fall,” said Bobbi England, this
year’s tournament co-ordinator.The tournament kicks off Friday (Nov. 6), with the
final game Sunday at 4 p.m..This year 12 teams will compete in three divisions:
atom, bantam and midget, with a Sooke team in each division. Nine out-of-town squads will fill out the tournament roster.
Each team is guaranteed three games. The top two teams in each division will play a playoff game on Sunday afternoon to determine first and second place.
The tournament is held at SEAPARC Leisure Centre arena.
England expects a strong tournament, with some of the best girl teams in the province participating.
“I think those girls play just as hard and sometimes harder than the boys. They definitely give the boys a run for their money anytime they play each other in exhibition games,” she said.
“One of the things with the female teams in general is they have to travel quite a distance sometimes even to have regular league games. It’s another opportunity for them to play other teams off of the Island, instead of playing the same teams over and over again.”
Girls teams lacing up for annual tournamentFall Female Face-Off hits the ice at Sooke’s SEAPARC Leisure centre this weekend
Females hockey from Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland are expected to play at this weekend’s Fall Female Face-Off tournament in Sooke. Last weekend Sooke Thunderbirds Julia Cecil, right, chases Campbell River Hurricanes’ Jordyne Fair during a Bantam Female match at the SEAPARC Leisure Complex. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

Looked at your calendar lately? No, you’re not hallucinating, it really is November. That means it’s not only cooler and darker outside, but also that there’s a month and a half or so left to do all that Christmas shopping.
Don’t worry if you are a last minute shopper though, because Sookies all over will be able to buy something pretty cool and pretty special at this year’s upcoming All Sooke Arts & Crafts Christmas Fair, one of the biggest local craft shows of the season, from Nov. 20 to 22 at the Sooke Community Hall.
And, since its inception in the Sooke community 40 years ago, the choice of completely hand-made items available is rich in variety thanks to more than 85 crafters taking part this year, with everything from fine jewellery, quilting, ceramic, pottery, stained glass, knitted works, woodworking, even food.
The show is also one of the oldest arts and crafts fair on the Island, currently going strong at around 65 members.
More importantly though, everything on those tables is handmade by Sooke folks with local materials — an initiative that show organizers Valerie Mills and Sandy Suckling, two of the organization’s longest-standing members, have maintained since they joined 38 years ago.
And they’re pretty serious about it. All participating crafters need to live within the borders of East Sooke and Port Renfrew in order to take part — this way, all the items, whether it’s food or otherwise, stays local.
“This [fair] is for the Sooke people. The Hall belongs to the Sooke community, so it has to be a local craft,” Mills said, adding that on the first day they walk around and check out if any of the items are built anywhere else, or forged in any way. “After 40 years we can tell pretty well if something was handmade, and if we have to, we just say, it has to be taken off the table.”
This year, the fair will run on two floors, with the second floor being donated solely to non-profits at no charge, leaving just the kitchen, which will be run by the Lionesses.
It was certainly the community spirit that got both Suckling and Mills to join up.
“When I first moved to Sooke, I didn’t know anybody, but I liked to sew and make things, so I went to Sandy’s house and got started. From then on, I was hooked,” Mills said.
This isn’t a show only for the adults either, after all, its central theme will be Christmas, which means Santa Claus will be present to share stories and take photos with the kids on the Saturday (Nov. 21) and Sunday, Nov. 22. Naturally, toys will be part of it as well, including dolls, as well as hand-made wooden trucks, built right here in Sooke by local crafters.
Santa will be there as well for the kids for stories and photos. Will be there on Saturday and Sunday. He comes every year. The income for the photos goes to the Sooke Lions Club.
There will also be door prizes and a draw, including one big gift basket which is compiled out of a variety of handmade items from various crafters.
This year, the fair will be making a “substantial” cash donation to the Sooke Food Bank, and while there is a fee for participating crafters, there is no entrance fee for the public.
Doors officially open on Friday, Nov. 20, from 1 to 8 p.m., and runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21, and Sunday, Nov. 22.

New life in Jesus Christ Jesus was on his way to Lazarus tomb when he “was greatly disturbed” (angry), Jesus gets angry not with the people who were with him he was angry at death, because death got his friend Lazarus. Jesus shows us
that anger is part of the mysticism of Christianity, and helps us during our time of grief.
Arriving at the tomb “Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone” Martha was concerned because his brother “has been dead for four days’”, and said to Jesus he “stench” but Jesus knows what he was doing. He asks the father for Lazarus Life and then he called him “Lazarus come out” Lazarus came out, and Jesus ordered to “unbind him.
New life came out of the tomb new life is the promise of Jesus for those who believe in him. New life after death, Jesus said “‘I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live,”. Jesus weeps for those of us who are dead and do not want to walk beside him, he weeps for those who are in addictions and do not listen to him. Jesus calls everybody to follow him and believe in him because he is the light in our darkness, and he is life for those who give up themselves to him.

Have you ever asked yourself why so many of us are so sick?
Tonight, Awareness Film Night presents Unacceptable Levels.
This documentary examines the chemical revolution that began in the 1940s through the eyes of filmmaker Ed Brown as he learns about the chemicals in our bodies, how they got there and what we can do about them.
Regulatory bodies like to tell us the chemicals used in our food and personal care and household cleaning products that are colllecting in our soil, water and air are within “acceptable levels.”
But what about their cumulative effects? Through interviews with top minds in the fields of science, advocacy and law, viewers will find out about the toxic chemicals found in just about every facet of our lives and the lack of government regulation or accountability by corporate managers.
The post-screening question and answer will focus on just that. Panelists will include Hillary Childs, who will share her wealth of knowledge about the cancer-causing and hormone-disrupting chemicals to watch out for in your personal care products and Glyse Clarkston, herbalist and organic farmer who will answer questions about ways we can keep environmental chemicals out of our bodies.
Evening will go from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Edward Milne Community School theatre. Admission is by donation. For more info: awarenessfilmnight.ca.

Fire departments aren’t required to respond as first responders by provincial legislation and don’t receive any money from the province to attend the calls.
“It’s a great program in that you’re getting the closest available trained resources as fast as possible when an ambulance isn’t available,” Sorensen said.
“We don’t mind going on the calls, but when we have to wait 20 minutes for the ambulance to get there that’s taking us out of service that much longer.”
There may be relief in sight.The B.C. Ambulance Service is undergoing a
deployment and demand review with the metro operations which will include the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria.
The review, which is expected to be released next month, is to improve patient care and how to better deploy resources. Fire services across the region are being asked for input.

AMBULANCE: New study probes best use of resources
One in 14 Greater Victoria residents live in poverty and every day is a battle with hunger, stress, isolation and constant worry.
United Ways across the country recently launched Make the Month, an interactive online simulator that aims to help Canadians understand and experience what it’s like to live in poverty. Make the Month is available across the country and features 13 regions nationwide.
Make the Month simulates the limited budget many Canadians struggle with to meet life’s basic needs for one month. Difficult scenarios – such as finding affordable housing, buying nutritious food, and supporting loved ones – provide insight into the choices faced every day by those living in poverty, and into United Way’s work to improve lives in local communities. Residents in Greater Victoria can try Make the Month by visiting makethemonth.ca/Victoria
