With the federal election just five days away, candidates are courting undecided voters.
Liberal candidate David Merner believes the undecided vote may very well determine the outcome, not just in the Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich riding, but the election at large as well.
“For the first time in living memory, B.C. is going to decide who forms the government, and the undecided votes will actually decide who becomes the next prime minister of Canada,” he said.
Merner knows a good chunk of his audience too, decided or undecided, pointing towards the thousands of local folk who commute to and from Fort McMurray.
Depending on who gets elected, their future and the wellbeing of their families could be in a dangerous balance.
The undecided voter could work in favour of the Liberal party here, as Merner already said during the last candidate meeting that his party wouldn’t just shut down the oil sands without first providing an alternative for those who work there.
He added that anyone who is undecided should simply give him a ring, as being intertwined in the community is what could make the difference.
Merner isn’t alone in believing that adding a face to the voice (or vice-versa) can change the tide here – so do the other three.
Green Party candidate Frances Litman said a big part of making a difference with undecided voters is about finding the time to talk to them in the first place.
“I’m not just a five-minute appearance, I’m there, because people want a person who really cares,” she said.
“You don’t join the Green Party if it’s about money or power, because we have neither. It has to be from the heart.”
In retrospect, Conservative candidate Shari Lukens said that the only way undecided voters will swing either-or is if they are fundamentally given what they need in the first place.
NDP candidate MP Randall Garrison said the bigger focus for his party isn’t so much on talking to those who haven’t made up their minds, but more so identifying NDP supporters and getting them out to vote.
“You’re talking about the truly undecided, but there’s another group called ‘anybody but Harper’, that’s the group that we focused on most,” he said.

Man dies after being ejected from truck
A 55-year-old Otter Point man died when he was thrown from his pickup truck after it veered off West Coast Road on Friday night.
Sooke RCMP and Shirley Fire Department responded to the single-vehicle accident at 8:15 p.m. near Sheringham Point Road. The man was the lone occupant in the vehicle.
Early investigation suggests the man tried to correct his steering, and lost control, veered into the ditch and was thrown out of the vehicle.
Exact cause of the accident is under investigation, though alcohol may be a factor, said RCMP.
The name of the deceased man is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Federal candidates battling for the Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich riding seat brought the frontline to Sooke last week in the second all-candidates meeting held locally.
This time Conservative candidate Shari Lukens attended. She was MIA in an earlier forum. Communist Tyson Strandlund did not attend. Other candidates at the Oct. 6 forum included Liberal David Merner, Green Frances Litman and New Democrat Randall Garrison.
The all-candidates forum was sponsored by the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce at Best Western Prestige Hotel.
Like the previous event, candidates were asked a series of prepared questions, followed by a debate, and a public question period where attendees could ask candidates questions.
Here’s a summary of the hot topics discussed:
Health careThe first to kick
off the night was Litman acknowledging Canadians are paying too much for their medications, and
that the Green Party wants to institute its proposed national pharmacare program in order to bring drug costs down and create an integrated system. Litman added that this can save Canadians $11 billion in drug costs.
Lukens disagreed with the Greens’ proposal of “just making it happen” saying that every province and territory must agree to the plan, and it is not something the federal government could create.
Merner was next, saying the Liberals will go straight for the renewal of the Health Accord, which expired in March 2014, after the federal government did not renegotiate it. He also brought up France and Germany’s performance in the
health-care sector, adding that “we can do better, and it will require an investment.”
Investment or not, Garrison pointed out that the federal government “has lost its ability to influence policy” adding that the NDP will go back to the drawing board, and create a series of principles to follow, such as accessibility and universality.
Economic development
When it came to the diversification of the economy, the question mainly rested on balancing regulatory approvals, opposition and the need of economic activity.
Garrison jumped in with the NDP’s proposal to cut $1.3 billion a year in subsidies that trickle
to oil companies, then transferring it into the renewable energy industry, “creating twice as many jobs for the same amount of investment.”
Investment that would nonetheless still require direct investment from Canadians, Merner said, adding that transformation of the economy from a fossil fuel economy to renewable energy “needs a plan and leadership”.
And if it’s time that’s the issue, Litman said the Greens want to “do this now, not in 10 years, and not in another election,” maintaining that renewables is the only way to go in terms of saving money and reducing carbon emissions.
Lukens lauded
Canada’s achievement as being “the only country in the G7 that is able to take advantage of 60 per cent of the world economy” and pointed out the Conservatives recent signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which opens trade with 12 other countries.
InfrastructureSplit between
the development of infrastructure and social infrastructure, candidates were asked to provide suggestions on what each of their parties will provide.
Merner said his party “will commit over the next 10 years to spend $160 billion on infrastructure” and that significant focus will be on rebuilding social infrastructure, such as affordable housing, seniors facilities, and childcare facilities.
Litman took a more local approach, saying that by way of implementing a renewable energy economy, Sooke residents would be encouraged to work locally and live here rather than driving into town all the time.
“We don’t want a one overpass solution that will only take cars from one light to the next where they’ll wait in traffic,” she said. “We want folks who go into town to enjoy their bus ride because they know they’ll be able to get back and forth frequently and quickly.”
In response, Lukens said the Conservatives made the “biggest investment and infrastructure, and will invest $80 billion over the next 10 years, and putting the largest investment in infrastructure in Canadian history.”
Garrison struck back, saying “it’s nice to hear Shari listing projects that I’ve worked on to get the local funding for.”
Agriculture and food security
The importance of safe and local food is a growing concern in Canadians’ minds, leaving many wondering what will happen when any of the respective parties win the vote.
The Greens want to try and keep improvements on local agriculture small first by trying to support local farmers and local economies. Litman said that people want to farm and have their
own healthy food, they don’t want to rely on the big businesses.
Lukens took a similar homegrown approach, having lived and grown up on a large grain farm on the prairies.
“All the food on the table was from our own garden, so local is where we need to keep it, because I appreciate it, and I know it’s important to everyone in this region,” she said.
Garrison aimed back towards the Conservatives, saying the TPP could be “the biggest threat to food security” and that local farmers and dairy producers are in big trouble should the proposed agreement reach full fruition.
Merner pointed out that while the TPP could be “dangerous” it may still open up foreign markets to Canada, and that it’s important to assess the TPP “case by case” before going further.

There are 1,440 minutes in every day. Schedule 30 of them for physical activity!
Regular exercise is a critical part of staying healthy. People who are active live longer and feel better. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can delay or prevent diabetes, some cancers and heart problems.
Most adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days per week. Examples include walking briskly, mowing the lawn, dancing, swimming for recreation or bicycling. Stretching and weight training can also strengthen your body and improve your fitness level.
The key is to find the right exercise for you. If it is fun, you are more likely to stay motivated. You may want to walk with a friend, join a walking group or plan a group bike ride. If you’ve been inactive for a while, use a sensible approach and start out slowly.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement doesn’t resolve Canada’s long-running dispute with the United States over softwood lumber, or remove restrictions on log exports from B.C.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Canadian government would like to renew the Canada-U.S. softwood agreement, expired as of Thanksgiving Day. It’s a side deal outside the North American Free Trade Agreement, and it won’t be covered by the Pacific Rim trade either.
“Obviously we would like to see this agreement move forward, and I think industry on both sides of the border would, but for reasons that were not entirely clear, the American administration hasn’t seen it that way,” Harper said in an interview with Black Press.
“In terms of forestry, what the TPP does do is provide new tariff-free access to many Asian countries, including enhanced access to the Japanese market.”
Restrictions on log exports from B.C. are also not eased by the TPP, which includes Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia. B.C.’s control over Crown land log prices has long been an irritant with the U.S. and Japan, while private and aboriginal land log producers are restricted by federal rules.
“B.C. was able to ensure that both provincial and federal log export controls will not change as a result of the TPP, despite pressure from Japan to eliminate them,” B.C. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat said in a statement.
“B.C.’s objectives for the forestry sector during the TPP negotiations were to gain market access for forestry products to important TPP markets such as Japan, while maintaining existing log export controls.”
Premier Christy Clark said this week her first call to Ottawa after the Oct. 19 federal
election will be about continuing the U.S. softwood lumber talks. Harper expressed confidence that despite the history of U.S. legal and trade actions over the years, the existing deal can be extended.
“We’ve managed to export a lot of lumber over the years and I’m confident we will continue to,” Harper said.

Victoria Foundation releases region’s ‘annual check up’
The cost of living is the most important issue for residents of Greater Victoria, according to the findings of an annual community report released Tuesday morning.
The Victoria Foundation’s annual Vital Signs report combines public opinion from an online survey taken by 2,009 people with relevant facts to provide a snapshot of the livability and wellbeing of the community. Citizens were asked to grade each issue, along with providing their top three priorities for improving the grade.
Overall, the report states that respondents from the survey generally consider themselves happy and satisfied with many aspects of their lives, but some are struggling with issues such as the high cost of living, housing, employment, food security and other financial stress.
“The report gives you a good insight into what the community thinks,” said
Victoria Foundation CEO Sandra Richardson, who was amazed the Greater Victoria Public Library had the highest circulation and second highest visits per capita in Canada.
“It’s like a sounding board for us, and then we look at how we can address some of these issues.”
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the report that began when the visibility of homelessness became prominent in the community.
The Toronto Community Foundation started Vital Signs in their community for similar reasons and offered it as a program that could go across Canada. Richardson thought it would be a great pilot project to get to know
the community better.According to the report,
there has been a steady and dramatic decline in seeing homelessness as the number one issue facing Victoria in 2008 (58 per cent) to being the number four issue in 2014.
Seeing addictions as an important issue has also steadily declined, but concern with mental illness has been increasingly steady, along with housing.
As of March 31, 2014, there were 7,510 units of subsidized rental housing in Greater Victoria, operated by B.C. Housing — up from 6,347 units in March 2006. As of April 2015, the average vacancy rate for market rental housing in the region was 1.2 per cent, despite an increase in market rental supply over the past two years.
There has also been a steady rise in seeing the cost of living as the number one issue, from second place (37 per cent) in 2008/2010, to first place since 2009, peaking at 52 per cent in 2014. The report states the cost of living is a more general and broad-based concern, affecting everyone, while homelessness affects only a
small, but very vulnerable group of people.
“The cost of living is expensive here, but also people don’t make very much money to pay for basic needs such as housing. The way to fix that in part is to build an economy that has room for everyone and to create better household paying jobs to increase medium incomes,” said Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps, who noticed the grade for ‘belonging and engagement’ went from a B- to a B.
“The fact that grade changed and the city was cited as part of that, it felt really really good. People do want to be engaged in their community and I think that local governments can actually create a habitat for happiness and belonging among our residents.”
Helps added the city’s strategic plan and focus is aligned with the needs of the community.
Residents were also asked to identify the best things about Greater Victoria. Natural environment and climate, walkability, festivals and events, and parks rounded out the top five answers.
Cost of living top residents concerns in Vital Signs report
The number of cougar sightings has gone up in Greater Victoria compared to previous years, according to a B.C. conservation officer.
Sgt. Scott Norris, a conservation officer, said in October there have been five to 10 reported sightings in the Oak Bay and James Bay areas alone.
In traditional predator-prey relationship, if the deer population is up, predator numbers will also increase. With more cougars in the Sooke,
Highlands, Metchosin and Goldstream areas, younger cougars will have to look elsewhere to establish their territory, Norris said.
“There’s no real rhyme or reason other than just normal wild animal behaviour. They’re hungry, they’re looking for food and territory,” he said, noting he expects the number of sightings to decrease in the winter since they usually hunt from dusk until dawn.

More cougars are making their home in the Sooke, Highlands, Metchosin and Goldstream areas.

Fire call out
Sooke Fire Chief Steven Sorensen helps Spencer MacDonald put on his fire gear at Saseenos Elementary School in a race to see who can put on their gear on the fastest – the student or the firefighter. MacDonald won. The event was part of Fire Prevention Week activities.

They Said It
Our View
On Monday, we vote across the nation to elect a new federal government.
Media coverage of the election was vigorous and extensive. There appears to be a real recognition of the importance to this vote. This is heartening.
Our increased interest is timely, because the federal government will face big challenges in the next four years, and not just on the economy.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership will create a free-trade zone among 12 nations around the Pacific, making
it the world’s largest. The countries within its scope account for 40 per cent of the world’s economic output.
The economy continues to struggle. Whether you believe Canada is in a recession or not, the new federal government needs to come with a fresh approach to creating jobs and economic stability over the long-term.
Canada also faces key debates over transportation, jobs, transit, infrastructure, immigration and health care, just to name a few.
Then there is the little matter of
climate change. Canadians already rank climate and environment as a top issue both during and between election cycles.
And with international climate talks scheduled in Paris for late November, Canadians have a real opportunity for their votes to translate into substantial climate action on the global stage.
Pressure is mounting for Canada to play a leadership role at these negotiations, with major trading partners like China and the U.S. announcing their emission reduction
goals and commitments. The choices we make are
critical to our future. We trust that citizens across Canda will turn out in numbers that do credit to our electoral process and honour the efforts of all candidates in the often gruelling campaigns.
The best thing we can do is to intelligently vote for them.
Your vote crucial to nation’s future WE SAY: The best thing you can do on election day is vote intelligently on the issues and candidates
YODEL-AY-EE-OOOO … Do do you know how to yodel? If so, the Sooke Historical Society would love to hear from you for a project its working on.
This town’s John Farmer has apparently declined the offer.
UP, UP AND AWAY … Conservative candidate Shari Lukens is taking her campaign to new heights.
Commuters driving along the Colwood Crawl recently looked up to see a drone carrying a banner promoting Lukens’ election campaign.
It’s likely the first time ever a politician has used a drone for advertising in a federal campaign.
A HURLING MLA … Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan found a new sport while visiting Ireland this summer.
Hurling, the national game of Ireland, resembles both field hockey and lacrosse with a a shorter stick and oval blade.
Horgan saw a semifinal game between Galway and Tipperary in a stadium filled with 80,000 screaming Irishmen.
“It was fantastic. It was so exciting,” he says. Now Horgan uses his spare time scouring the Internet for more games.
IT’S IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION … CRD Juan de Fuca director Mike Hicks put an interview on hold with the News Mirror a few weeks ago because he had to replace a vandalized sign at Bluberry Flats, near Shirley, before visiting his “newspaper friends.”
It seems Hicks put the Do Not Litter sign a few years ago and when it was vandalized he felt obligated to replace it.
MAYOR OF LEGOLAND … Maja Tait is not only the mayor of Sooke, but a small Lego village that she and her husband Alec have built together.
And what a busy little village it is! It comes complete with people-packed avenues that include picturesque stores, cafes and restaurants, as well as beautiful (and highly-detailed) European-style duplexes.
Surprised? Well, consider Tait is in fact half Danish on her father’s side, meaning Lego (or “leg godt” which means build well in Danish) pretty much runs in her veins.
BRING ON THE CASH … Coun.
Brenda Parkinson, like the rest of us, is very interested in what happens in this Monday’s federal election.
For Parkinson, it’s all about sidewalks.
District council has been peppered by merchants on West Coast Road asking why there section of town can’t get sidewalks too.
Parkinson said if we vote the right way, that may come sooner rather than later.
“If our new MP is part of government, I think we’ll get lots of money,” she quipped.

WE ASKED YOU: Is childcare sufficient in Canada?
No. A lot of places are not even licensed and a lot of people can’t even afford it.
Audrey FroudeSooke
I don’t think so. It certainly could be better.
Jeff DeederSooke
Everything is slowly going downhill, so childcare could be better for a lot of people.

Readers’ letters: Election, big business, council
Vote with your heart – and head
Some people advocate voting with your heart. We suggest that in this election, it is critical to vote also with your head – that is, to vote strategically.
How would your heart feel if on the day after the election, you realized that your vote had helped to elect the government you least wanted to see get in?
In the last election, the NDP won over the Conservatives in our riding by only 400 votes, which was an average of two votes per ballot box. The Liberals and Greens were both many thousands of votes behind.
In this riding, only two parties have a realistic chance of winning: the Conservatives and the NDP. Increased votes for the Greens or Liberals would not be enough to win the seat for them, but could be enough to give the victory to a party their supporters do not want to see in power.
The NDP, Liberals, and Greens have all said they would bring in some form of proportional representation. With that in place for the next election, you would then be able to vote with your heart without fear of working against your own ideals and interests.
If you like our current federal government, it’s easy to decide how to vote. But if you want a change in government, please consider voting for a candidate who can win.
Greg and Sheila WhincupSooke
‘You make my heart flutter’
Re: Running Man (Sports, Oct. 7)
I would like to say this to who inspires me:
When I ran the Run for the Cure two weekends ago, there was a pipe band that led a group of 50 or more women survivors of breast cancer to the start of the race. These people are announcing, it can
be beaten and I am a survivor and carrying on with my path. Good on you, you make my heart flutter.

Council must listen to taxpayers
Re: Apartment plan hits a snag over parking (News, Oct. 7)
Residents spoke against this parking variance as the roads are narrow and parking a premium. This large project on such a small piece of land will change the neighborhood.
The developer says rents would be between $650 and $800, but who knows if he will develop it, flip the land and then someone else will try to change the zoning?
This happens often in Sooke.The last council voted to
allow suites in all zones to allow greater affordability for more folks. The result? Now, we have clogged roadways, driveways and byways, as council again disregarded neighbors concerns.
I wonder why council bothers with public hearings when some councillors suggest this area will eventually all be apartments and condos.
Why bother with 2.5 years of official community plan deliberations and input from the people when council deems to know better than we do? After all, look at council’s successes with Mariner’s Village and the hotel – one a lack of sales, the other a lack of parking at a cost of $300,000 to taxpayers a year for five years.
Council, listen to the people who elect you to protect our homes and environment, not to the Union of B.C. Municipalities and other entities, who tell you how to manage our community.

Naming roundabout after fallen Mountie
Re: Sooke roundabout could
honour our fallen Mountie (Opinion, Oct. 7)
I think the naming of the downtown roundabout in Sooke as the Reg Williams roundabout is an excellent idea. It is a good memorial in his name for his service here in this community.
Anne RobertsSooke
Big business wins, the rest of us pay
I am not normally partisan nor expostulative about political issues – it is same old, same old most of the time – but this is egregious.
It seems that seven out of 15 Canada Revenue Agency board members are Conservative donors, while more and more headlines suggest the work of CRA is politically motivated.
It looks as though Canadian corporations sheltered close to $200 billion in tax havens last year.
Meanwhile, the CRA spent $8 million auditing charities. (Not that I necessarily trust charities, but their cash is a drop in the bucket.)
When Conservatives stack influential appointments with their hand-picked donors, big business wins while the rest of us pay the price.
I feel as though I pay plenty of taxes, proportionate to my meagre income, while the rich get richer.
Howard SzaferSooke
Meetings promote neo-Marxist candidates
Certainly many of the all-candidate forums were arranged to promote neo-Marxist candidates and try to trap their opponents. It’s another devious tactic of political activists.
But candidates who cannot hold their own thus avoid the forums are not well equipped for public office, where they want to persuade others.
And why are some
candidates excluded by the organizers? That’s not fair. What are they afraid of?
There is a concern about security – indeed a topic for lovers of freedom, who should be advocating more and better re-education in federal prisons.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015 I COMMUNITY I SOOKENEWSMIRROR.COM 13
In their own wordsThe News Mirror is offering federal election candidates space to offer their viewpoints on five issues: the economy, environment, taxes, security and childcare. This week’s topic is Childcare.
After a decade of Stephen Harper, the cost of childcare is breaking household budgets. On average, for one infant spot Canadian families pay monthly fees of $1,047 in BC. By comparison, a childcare spot in Quebec can cost as little as $152 a month.
Families, businesses and the economy at large are paying the price for Conservative and Liberal failure to act on childcare. The Canadian business community estimates that work life conflict experienced by employees with preschool children costs employers $4 billion per year. A TD Bank research survey suggests that for every dollar invested in early childhood education, the benefits to provincial and federal governments range from $1.49 to $2.78 through increased tax revenues and decreased social spending.
The NDP will create a Canadian early childhood education and childcare program with a goal that parents won’t pay more than $15 per day per child. We will do this by working with the provinces, territories and Indigenous communities to fund and develop national early childhood education and childcare programs delivered with common principles like affordability, availability and quality.
After eight years, this annual federal investment will have increased by $5 billion. The first step, to be achieved within four years, is to fund 370,000 new affordable childcare spaces with an annual investment of $1.9 billion.
A Liberal government will give families more money to help with the high cost of raising their kids.
We will cancel tax breaks and benefits for the wealthy and introduce a new Canada Child Benefit to give Canadian families more money to raise their kids.
With the Canada Child Benefit, 9 out of 10 Canadian families will receive more than under Stephen Harper’s confusing collection of child benefit programs. For the typical family of four, that means an additional $2,500 in help, tax-free, every year.
Because the Canada Child Benefit is tax-free and tied to income, it also provides greater support to those who need help the most: single-parent families and low-income families. Our plan will lift 315,000 Canadian children out of poverty.
Unlike Stephen Harper, a Liberal government will not provide child support to millionaires.
The Greens are committed to a high-quality, federally-funded childcare program in Canada, accessible to any family that wants to place children into early childhood education.
We also value the choice of parents to stay home and raise their children.
Canadian families need access to affordable, high-quality childcare as an aspect of early childhood education. Workplace child care has been shown to improve productivity, decrease employee absenteeism, ensure quality care for children (because parents can ‘drop in’ at any time to see their young children), and permits longer breast-feeding of infants. Small children benefit enormously from time with their mothers, especially when very young.
Green MPs will accelerate the creation of workplace childcare spaces through a direct tax credit to employers (or groups of employers in small businesses) of $1,500 tax credit/child per year. We will restore and revamp the 2005 agreement reached between the federal government, provinces, and territories to achieve a universal access child care program in Canada.
Strong families make a strong country. This is just one of the reasons why the Conservative Government has delivered a strong record of support for families.
It’s a record that includes cutting the GST, creating the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB), delivering the Children’s Fitness and Arts Tax Credits, and introducing the Tax Free Savings Account, among other measures.
However, there are Canadian families, including those here in riding, who are struggling to make ends meet. I want them to know there is always more that can be done, and I will work to ensure Canada remains the best country in the world in which to raise a family.
In Canada, every single family with children up to age six will receive an enhanced UCCB payment, up to $1,920 per year. Also, new for families with children aged 6 to 17, the Conservative Government is delivering a payment of up to $720 per year. This direct support will continue to ensure that choice in child care is not laden in more bureaucracy, but left in the hands of the real experts – mom and dad.
The Conservatives have also delivered the new Family Tax Cut. Available for the 2014 taxation year, the Family Tax Cut makes life more affordable for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Canadian families.

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
Every time we hear the word “communist” or “communism” we get a flash of historical imagery. Lenin. Lots of red. Dictatorship (a la Ceaucescu) and grand displays of military prowess with soldiers and war machines marching through
snow-kissed streets of Moscow.
The reality however is much less dramatic – and quite local. In fact, the Communist Part of Canada has its own electoral candidate for the Sooke-Esquimalt-Saanich riding.
Tyson Strandlund is a 23-year-old University of Victoria history student. He
doesn’t wear much red, and he doesn’t drive a red-flagged Scud launcher through the street, especially if it’s snowing.
He says the role of his candidacy is to provide an alternative for those who may not like any of their current four voting options, be it the Conservatives, Liberals, NDP or Greens, as well as having a
different Canada. “It’s not with any joy that
I say the Communist party is the only party that is not a pro-capitalist party, but it is only party that actually suggests taking power away from the corporations in terms of nationalizing our major industries,” he said.
“These banks and insurance companies that we pay so
much interest on, these profits should go to public coffers, not private hands.”
Born and raised in Metchosin, Strandlund said he wasn’t always into politics, but became increasingly more involved over time, having grown frustrated with “many injustices and destruction of the environment at the hands of corporations.”

We’ve all been experiencing a road crew project nowadays in the centre of Sooke as the roundabout nears completion.
My personal experience as the traffic moves slowly through Sooke is that the crews and the flaggers have done a good job, with disruption as minimal as possible.
Looking at this photo of a road crew back around 1920, working on the road leading from Muir Creek towards Jordan River, I am drawn to wonder what this group of settlers would think of the fine modern equipment that is carrying out the road improvements in Sooke today. What an incredible difference from their picks, mattocks, crowbars and shovels to the excavators, backhoes, rollers and curb-laying machines of today. These men never heard of flaggers – what for, there was no traffic to flag!
The road through Otter Point had reached as far as Jordan River by 1912, so this group of pioneers was working at improvements to the rough grade, we believe located in the Kirby Creek area. Sometimes
settlers had the opportunity of being hired on contract for specific improvement projects, and sometimes they were working to pay off that year’s property taxes.
Among the settlers in this photo are Joe Poirier (grandpa of Velma Jessiman) George Goudie (grandpa of Norm Goudie) Harry Kirby (one of the three sons of Ma and Pa Kirby of Kirby creek) and Ted Harris. The Harris house on Otter Point road was home
to Ted Harris when he wasn’t away working in the oilfields of the Caribbean. Today the Harris farm is the ALM organic farm owned by Mary Alice Johnson.
We can imagine that these men wielding their muscle-challenging hand tools would be most impressed if they could have had a look into the future of road building.

It’s going to get creepy in East Sooke over the next few weeks just in time for Halloween.
But this is not your everyday haunted house.
Eerie Acres takes you on a 20-minute tour through a haunted house, the woods, full scale effects and a cemetery with many creatures roaming throughout.
Founders Lindsay and Parry Trowell have been operating the tour for nine years, with the help of up to 21 volunteers each night.
“People come from as far as Oak Bay and Sidney to have some Halloween fun for a worthwhile cause.
Every year we get bigger and better,
adding more stations and effects to our haunt,” said
Parry.What
sets Eerie Acres
apart from other
haunts is that it provides guided tours
for all ages, thrill seekers, and even the faint of heart.
Last year, more than 500 people went through the attraction in three nights, and the Trowells’ donate a large portion of proceeds to local charities in need, as well as a large collection of non-perishables for the Sooke Food Bank.
Eerie Acres runs Oct. 24, 30 and 31 from 7 to 10 p.m. at 1468 Woodcock Rd. (follow the signs from Gillespie Road or use Google Maps).
Thanksgiving lunch for seniors
The Sooke Seniors’ Drop In Centre will host a Thanksgiving hot lunch on Oct. 22.
The lunch will feature a turkey dinner, appetizer and dessert.
“We are pre-selling tickets for the lunch, as we really need to know numbers in order to prepare the meal,” said Carol Pinalski, president, SSDIC.
Tickets can be picked up at the drop-in centre located at the Sooke Community Hall dining room, every Tuesday and Thursday, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person.

What is the cut o� point when it is better to replace a water heater rather than to replace a blown element.
Home WisePlumbing & Drainage
Some water heaters are life time warrantied. � ose types also have superior elements that should never burn out; however if that did happen it would always make sense to replace elements or
thermostats. On standard electric water heaters with no
maintenance done on them it starts to make more sense to replace rather than � x at about 6 years. If the tank is � ushed annually and anode replaced at about the 4th year it makes sense to � x it right up into about the 8th year.
A:
We recommend any time a� er 2. It’s important to get an early start on dental care, so that your child will learn that visiting the dentist is a regular part of health care. It’s important to make the � rst
visit a positive experience for your child - one reason why it’s best to visit before a problem develops. If you think there is a problem, however, take your child to the dentist right away, no matter what age. If you’re a nervous dental patient, ask your spouse or another family member to take the child for the appointment. If your child senses that you’re nervous, he or she may feel nervous too. When you talk to your child about going to the dentist, explain what will happen without adding things like “it won’t hurt” or “don’t be scared.”
AWhen should I take my child to the dentist for the � rst time?

As work on the Brownsey Boulevard roundabout nears completion, plans to beautify the area are beginning a slow simmer.
The District of Sooke is contributing $3.1 million for the roundabout, which fuses Sooke Road, Brownsey Boulevard and the Evergreen Centre entrance into one loop.
The province is also revamping Sooke Road between Otter Point and Church roads with improvements which include new sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, curbs, shoulder bike lane and bus shelters.
The project is aimed at improving the town centre and that has always included a beautification element to the project.
At a recent district council meeting, councillors agreed to bring back the Sooke Program for the Arts, whose main focus, at least initially, will to look at plans to beautify the town centre zone. Coun. Brenda Parkinson was named council’s liaison on the committee. The committee’s first meeting is Nov. 26.
So far, councillors have received several letters on proposals for the roundabout from the Rotary and Lions clubs and Sooke Community Arts Council. They have also received several emails.
“We want to see something that really captures Sooke. What that looks like, I don’t really know,” said Mayor Maja Tait.
She added that the district may want to look at something that fits its motto – Sooke where the rainforest meets the sea – that would bring all the elements together.
“I wouldn’t want to say, let’s just plant some marigolds or something,” she said.
Parkinson hopes to have some plan in place in the new year, adding there is no rush since decorative light standards still need to be put in place, and there are plans to decorate the roundabout area for
Christmas, including a Christmas tree in the centre of the roundabout.
“It’s not something we should rush into,”
she said. “I’m hoping everyone can come together to find the perfect piece for the centre, considering we’re all going to have
to look at it.”Both women agree
that there needs to be a lot of public input to get the right image.
Plans mulled to beautify roundabout, town centreThis week, construction crews continue to work on curbs, sidewalks, and the north side of the roundabout. Storm drains are being installed from Church to Anna Marie roads along with new street lights in front of Evergreen Centre.

The United Way of Greater Victoria has become the fishers of people.
This year’s United Way’s community fundraising campaign target is focused on participation, engaging more of the residents across the Capital Regional District in an attempt to help it support the region’s “most vulnerable citizens, address social issues and create measurable change.”
“The strategy behind all the stuff we’ll be doing this year is to try and grow the donor base,” said Heather Skydt, director of marketing and communications.
Last year, the United Way raised $5.7 million and funded more than 100 programs in the region. This year, the group is funding 111 programs through three priority areas: All That Kids Can Be, From Poverty to Possibility and Strong Communities as well as its Youth/Community in Action Initiative.
The United Way supports several programs in the Sooke region in partnership with Sooke Family Resource Society, Pacheedaht First Nation and Sooke Transition House
Society.But as the need
has increased, the number of donors has dwindled.
Two years ago when the United Way campaign topped $6 million, more than 13,000 donors were tabulated. Last year the fundraising goal dipped with only 11,000 donors.
“We know the more people we engage with our cause the more successful the campaign will be,” said Patricia Jelinski, United Way’s CEO.
Skydt said the participation target is a departure from the United Way’s annual public announcement of a financial goal, but the United Way
hopes to engage people on many levels – from financial to volunteering.
Adds Jelinski: “We want people to understand that if they join with us, if they join with others under the United Way movement, we can accomplish great things together for our community and our citizens.”
Donations to United Way’s 2015 community campaign are accepted at workplaces, United Way’s office at 1144 Fort St. via phone 250-385-6708 or online at uwgv.ca.
United Way hopes to boost donor numbers in fall campaign

He’s Already There
It’s tough living with human limitations. Sometimes
it would be great to be in two places at one time. I
would love to live here on the island and also be
living near my family in the eastern part of the United States at the
same time. But I can’t do that. I can either be here or there, not both.
God has different capabilities. He can be everywhere at the same
time. This is very reassuring because, as I remember this, I realize that
I am never alone. Recently, a friend made me aware of what
this belief also includes. When we arrive at a place we’ve never
been before, both physically and spiritually, God is already
there. Again, this provides great comfort when we feel that
the future is unknown. As God, he is in the past, the present
and the future. So as we walk forward into the future,
we can do so with the con� dence and the comfort of
knowing that he is already there. Even though the future
looks scary, we can relax knowing he’s waiting there.

Kevin LairdSooke News Mirror
While growing up on Lasqueti Island, Teminey Beckers fell in love with ultimate.
And while ultimate was pretty much the only sport played on the island, Beckers said it fit her lifestyle and was non-competitive.
“I really enjoyed it. I’m not a big fan of other team sports, but for some reason I’ve always enjoyed ultimate,” said the Sooke mother of two.
Once Beckers left Lasqueti Island, she didn’t leave the sport behind. After travelling the world, she began playing it again when she returned to Victoria.
Ultimate, originally known as Ultimate Frisbee, is a no-contact team field sport played with a flying disc. Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone.
Other basic rules are that players must not take steps while holding the disc, and interceptions, incomplete passes, and passes out of bounds are turnovers. Rain, wind, or occasionally other adversities can make for a testing match with rapid turnovers, heightening the pressure of play.
Ultimate has resisted empowering any referee with rule enforcement, instead relying on the sportsmanship of players to maintain fair play.
And it’s that aspect of the game that intrigues Beckers.
“I think part of it is the spirit of the game. It feels really focused on community and it’s
accessible to a lot of people,” she said.
It’s one of the reason Beckers and close friend Julie Budgen started up Sooke Drop-in Ultimate in Sooke a year ago.
The Sooke program has attracted young families and others to the weekly meet up at Sooke Elementary School. Seven people on each team makes up an official game.
Beckers said the focus is on fun and since it is non-competitive in nature, there is a lot of coaching and encouragement.
“We just try to make it open for everyone,” Beckers said, adding that while the adults are playing ultimate, the children usually play at the school’s playground.
“It does take skill to throw the disc, but people are always encouraging.”
Ultimate Frisbee is played every Sunday at Sooke Elementary School at 4 p.m. For more information, please go to the group’s website on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/260502367475144/.

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
Sookies will be sad to hear the Sooke Fine Art Gallery, a business that has operated in Sooke for nearly 28 years, is closing down at the end of October.
But owners Marion and Michel DesRochers don’t wan’t to see it as a goodbye, but more so as moving on to more important things, such as being closer to their son Simon, in Victoria. And they’re certainly not retiring, either; both will remain active with the Sooke arts community, and Michel will continue painting at his heart’s content.
The pair have opened art galleries in villages both in England and France, and spent a significant amount of time between the two countries. When they came to Sooke in 1987, they opened up a small art gallery where the Sooke News Mirror office currently is, and operated from there for several years. Marion specialized, and specializes, in creating custom picture frames, while Michel would create the unique paintings that would fill them.
Their time in Sooke wasn’t just strictly business though. Both have also worked closely with the Sooke Fine Arts Council as well as the District of Sooke on several fundraising and community projects, such as painting murals for numerous pump stations and bus shelters across town, as well as supplying all the frames currently displayed in the Community Hall Council Chamber.
And they won’t going anywhere without a celebration. On Oct. 25, all Sookies are invited to drop by the Sooke Fine Arts Gallery for a little party, complete with champagne and fine wine, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
