If you’re a politician hoping to get elected, you need to do a lot of doorknocking. By doing so, you learn first hand what’s on the minds of your constituents.
Federal candidates in Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding have sore knuckles from the amount of doorknocking they’ve been doing in Sooke, and while there are unique issues in Sooke, others are debated nationwide.
The top issues in Sooke? The economy, transit, transportation and the want for change.
NDP MP Randall Garrison said what he’s hearing on the doorstep is people want a change in government and are worried about the economy.
“Everyday life is getting harder and harder. People are working harder and harder and find themselves falling behind. It’s time for some change now,” he said.
Garrison said many people are looking for stable, longterm employment, adding that the Conservatives failed on that point with the delay of the national ship-building strategy.
The job plan would boost the B.C. shipbuilding industry and offer well-paying jobs over the next 20 to 30 years.
Liberal candidate David Merner is also receiving feedback on improving the economy and the transportation infrastructure.
The Liberals have unveiled a major infrastructure investment plan committed to investing in public transit. No other party, said Merner, has made the same kind of commitment.
“We see it as a really important issue in our riding.”
Green Party candidate Frances Litman is also embracing the idea of better transit.

The District of Sooke has begun the search for a chief administrative officer.
Gord Howie, who currently holds the position, will not have his contract renewed when it expires next February.
“He is looking for other opportunities,” said Mayor Maja Tait. “He’s leaving on a very positive note.”
Howie joined district staff in February 2013 after more than 37 years in public administration. He came to Sooke after serving as Prince Rupert’s chief administrative officer.
Three years ago, the district had more than 100 applicants for the job. Five were short-listed.
Tait has formed a hiring committee that consists of councillors Kerrie Reay, Rick Kasper and Kevin Pearson.
Howie will be the committee’s advisor. Those short-listed will be interviewed by the full council.
“We’re looking at broadening the position a bit,” Tait said. “Municipal experience is always an asset, but a mixture of government and private experience as well as a blend of education would bring a valuable perspective to the organization.”
Howie is on vacation until Oct. 5 and unavailable for comment.
Deadline for applications is Oct. 9.

Police Beat
Two stabbed, one beaten in fightTwo men were
stabbed and another beaten in an altercation in Sooke last week.
RCMP responded to complaints of a fight on Gelena Road at 9 p.m. on Sept. 21.
The combatants fled once police arrived, but officers found them at their homes.
Two of the men had stab wounds, and one was taken to hospital by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries. A third man, who appeared to be badly beaten, refused medical treatment.
“The men involved in this incident are well known to each other and police. Despite the violent aspect of what occurred, we do not believe this incident posed a risk to public safety,” said Sooke RCMP Staff Sgt. Jeff McArthur.
The three men were uncooperative with police.
“The local RCMP detachment is continuing to investigate what occurred, and will pursue charges if appropriate,”
McArthur said.•••
Sooke RCMP arrested a 31-year- old Metchosin man on Monday afternoon after a high speed police chase that ended in a ditch on Church Road.
The individual, who is well known to police, collided with a police car on Amethyst Road after a police officer was attempting to pull him over for speeding on Wadams Way.
After fleeing, the suspect turned towards Church Rd
where he tried to drive around a police blockade, but instead veered into the ditch, travelling another 100 meters before getting stuck in the mud. He was then taken into custody.
The driver remains in police custody and faces charges of dangerous driving, driving while prohibited, possession of methamphetamine for trafficking and breach of
recognizance. •••
Sooke Mounties answered the call 389 times in July and another 392 times in June, according stats released by the District of Sooke.
In July, police investigated 13 incidents under the provincial Mental Health Act, 12 thefts under $5,000 and nine incidents of mischief and property damage.
Municipal leaders have renewed their call in opposition to the expansion of oil tanker traffic through B.C.’s coastal waters.
Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver last week accepted a motion from the District of Sooke which petitions the provincial and federal governments.
The proposition was part of a block of motions put forward by delegates
“The tanker resolution was not
removed from the block for discussion, meaning there was no contest to the resolution. It was passed unanimously, without any discussion against it,” said Sooke Coun. Ebony Logins.
The UBCM will now lobby the position. Resolutions do return (not necessarily from the same municipalities),
when the federal or provincial government fail to respond or act.
The motion follows a referendum passed by Sooke voters in last year’s municipal election asking: “Should the District of Sooke join other municipalities in renewing and restating its opposition to the expansion of oil tanker traffic through coastal B.C. waters.”

Angling restrictions lifted on streams
The B.C. government has reopened angling for most streams in the south coast due to increased rain and cooling water temperatures.
Most streams on the South Coast were previously closed to angling on July 22 to protect fish stocks due to low flows and high water temperatures. The openings are in concert with the federal department of fisheries and oceans, which has announced matching regulations.
Rural water issue heads to CRD board todayOctavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror
Capital Region District will consider replacing its Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) with a Regional Sustainability Strategy (RSS) today, allowing municipalities to extend their water services if they wish to do so.
But where does it leave the troubled Juan de Fuca regional area, which has been denied piped water on several occasions due to the RGS that states water service cannot be extended outside the “urban containment boundary” without CRD approval.
In other words, for the JdF region to receive piped water, it is required to amend its context statement, which requires
a green light from 13 municipalities of the CRD, including the approval from majority of the CRD board itself.
Juan de Fuca Regional Director Mike Hicks called the decision “discriminatory” saying it goes against everyone’s right to clean water sources.
“This policy is discriminatory to the 4,000 people who live in Juan de Fuca area because the other 345,000 people have the potential to have water and we don’t,” Hicks said, adding that piped water should not be used as a “tool” to discourage urban sprawl in his constituency.
In response to the restriction and with the hope of changing its course, Hicks made a motion this spring that JdF be given the same opportunity for the expansion of water services as the municipalities.
“If the CRD concedes
that they will not use water as a tool to control urban or rural sprawl and leave it to the OCP’s and sewer connections, the JdF will have taken a huge leap towards being
recognized as an entity as well as possibly providing our residents with water,” he said.
Hicks noted that if the JdF will try and amend the RGS, it not only could take years, but it may not even happen.
At this point, the CRD will present Juan de Fuca region, and indeed Sooke, with three choices, two of which will allow the extension of water services to both municipalities (Jordan River and Port Renfrew) in the JdF, and one of which Sooke would have to get majority consent of the CRD to extend the water outside its set boundary.
After all the back and forth, Hicks hopes the CRD will favour either the first or second option, adding that water should not be restricted this way.
“No politician and no planner has the right to restrict water to any residents, it’s a God-given right,” he said.
Juan de Fuca still thirsting for piped water, says director
“No politician and no planner has the right to restrict water to any residents, it’s a God-given right.”

Plans for a new library in Sooke have again taken a back seat after there were no successful applicants in the bid to build the facility.
The proposals fell through due to the facility’s required 10,000 square footage, including that it must be contained on one level. None of the bids met the required parking requirements, either.
Kerrie Reay, who serves as a Vancouver Island Regional Library trustee for the District of Sooke, said the library executive board is cautious about where the building in Sooke will go.
“You can’t really shoot from the hip. You have to be cautious about what you put out there if you haven’t spoken with anybody or haven’t done anything in terms of community outreach,” she said, adding that while discussions are ongoing on the executive level, nothing official has been presented to the library board.
VIRL currently serves 39 communities on the Island, including Sooke.
Library plans delayed until November

District council took another step forward toward town centre beautification recently with the re-establishment of the Sooke Program for the Arts (SPA) Committee.
The committee was disbanded by former mayor Wendal Milne. SPA will report directly to council and have the support of municipal staff.
SPA’s mandate is to develop a municipal arts program that celebrates Sooke’s arts and artists and encourages creation of works of all kinds.
“I like this committee because you can see what you’ve done. You can see projects completed because there’s actual money there for it,” said Coun. Brenda Parkinson, who was named council’s liaison to SPA.
Both Parkinson and Mayor Maja Tait expect the committee to be a major part of the town centre rejuvenation project.
“The big question is what’s going in the centre of the roundabout. It’s not something we want to enter into in a rush. So, there are some projects that would come forward that will likely go through SPA,” Tait said.
Added Coun. Kevin Pearson: “This is exciting because I fully believe in having a good-looking downtown and part of the project [is beautification].”
SPA is funded with three per cent from development charges. It currently has $41,000 in the bank.
The committee will have up to nine members. The district plans to advertise for the volunteer positions.
Celebrate region’s senior residents
Sooke residents will celebrate International Seniors Day tomorrow (Oct. 1) to show their appreciation and to honour the seniors who have made a difference in their lives and in the community.
To help mark the day, Mayor Maja Tait has proclaimed Oct. 1 as International Seniors Day.
“Everyday local seniors make a big difference to better their communities, families and workplace, and we value what they are doing,” said Tait in a press release.
Sooke Elderly Citizens Housing Society and Ayre Manor Care Home are hosting an event from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be speakers, activities, music and refreshments, as well as an opportunity to mingle with residents.
SEAPARC Leisure Complex is offering free swimming, skating and fitness to anyone over the age of 60. Some local businesses will also have special discounts for seniors.

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 Taxes.
Taxes are the necessary evil that support all the public services we need to make us a prosperous, stable, and equitable society.
In this campaign, the NDP has committed not to raise personal income taxes or the GST.
Instead we are committed to make sure that everyone pays a fair share. That means raising corporate tax rates that have been slashed by Stephen Harper and closing the tax loophole which allows corporate CEOs to avoid paying tax on income from stock options, which costs us over $500 million per year.
Instead we will do things like create an Innovation Tax Credit for businesses that invest in machinery, equipment and property used in innovation-boosting research and development. This plan will save Canadian businesses making these critical R&D investments approximately $40 million each year.
We will also lower the small business tax rate from 11 to nine per cent over the first two years of our mandate. Fully implemented, this will cut small business taxes by nearly 20 percent and save small business owners across Canada approximately $1.2 billion each year. This will put more money back in the hands of almost 700,000 small businesses, and we’ll start right away.
A Liberal government will cut income taxes for the middle class. That’s a $3-billion tax cut.
We will reduce the tax rate for people earning between $44,700 and $89,401 per year to 20.5 per cent from the current 22 per cent. That means a tax break of up to $670 per year per person, or $1,340 per year for a two-income household.
To pay for this, we will cut tax breaks for the wealthy and ask the top one percent - those earning more than $200,000 per year -- to pay a little more so the middle class can pay less.
As well, we will eliminate all taxes on child benefits. We’ll make sure families who need it – 90 per cent of families – receive a nontaxable, fully indexed Canada Child Benefit. Families will receive larger monthly payments: up to $2,500 more tax-free, over the course of a year.
Nine out of 10 Canadians will benefit from our tax plan.
Taxes are how we pay for the services we want, from health care and national security to the helping hand we extend to our neighbours around the world.
The Green Party support tax shifting – reducing taxes on the things we want, like income and employment, while increasing taxes on things we do not want, such as pollution. Our tax system should be designed to reduce poverty, encourage environmentally beneficial choices, and generate wealth for hard-working Canadians.
No one should have to pay more than their fair share of our national budget, but big corporations are contributing far less than their share of the wealth they amass from doing business in this country. The Green Party will return the corporate tax rate to 19 per cent, as it was in 2009. Subsidies given to the fossil fuel industry and special tax credits granted to logging and mineral exploration companies will be cancelled.
Our proposed carbon fee and dividend is not a tax. Income derived from the carbon fee will not go into general revenues, but be redistributed in full to all Canadians as a cheque.
My belief in the power of free enterprise, our communities and in the social and economic freedoms we enjoy as Canadians is the foundation of my personal and professional life.
I also believe in many of the measures the Conservative Party has already implemented, While I was on city council, I had a vision to further fiscal responsibility, establish a transportation master plan, and realize an aggressive economic development strategy.
This is why I support the Conservative Party’s commitment to protecting Canada during economic downturns has proven to be effective. Low taxes and balanced budgets means families and businesses can grow and succeed.
Canadian families are enjoying $6,600 in tax cuts since the Conservatives were first elected and this week the prime minister made a formal pledge for no new taxes.
This is on top of the permanent Home Renovation Tax Credit, Universal Child Care Benefit, and income splitting for families and seniors.
The Canadian economy is stronger than other countries but it is fragile and needs to be protected.
The economy is our number one priority, that’s why we have a low-tax, balanced budget plan to stay focused on jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.

“Infrastructure, like transportation, is something we can address. We can have a public transit system that is integrated, well thought out and frequent,” she said.
Litman said Sooke
residents are also concerned about emergency preparedness and have voice their concern for a change in government.
Conservative candidate Shari Lukens did not respond to numerous interview requests.
A recent telephone poll
commissioned by the Dogwood Initiative an environmental group that opposes oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s coast, suggests 42 per cent of residents would vote for the NDP, followed by the Conservatives at 14 per cent, the Greens at 13 per cent and the Liberals at 12 per cent. Other parties
account for three per cent and the undecideds are at 16 per cent.
More than 300 people were contacted. The data was statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age, gender and region.

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan doesn’t know what to expect as the B.C. legislature returns to work this week.
The opposition New Democrats are expecting the Liberal government to table 10 to 11 new bills, but no throne speech is planned.
“I have no idea what the agenda is for the fall,” Horgan said, adding there have been few discussion between house leaders.
Horgan, leader of the Opposition, is hoping the government will move off its fixation with LNG, and look at other economic issues facing the province, such as log exports and social housing.
“The important part of us coming back we get, as Opposition, to question the government on their policies and the issues of the day and that benefits everyone,” Horgan said.
“The government needs to be sharp, it has to be responsive and can’t just pretend the issue will go away in the next news cycle.”
There are hints the Liberals will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking.
The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving.
Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded.
After dry conditions sparked an early start to
the B.C. forest fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes.
Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions.
The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.
MLA heads back to legislature unsure of government’s agenda

They Said It
Our View
The Tour de Rock is not a race, it’s a ride, but then again, maybe it is a race – if not to beat cancer, then to try.
Twenty-one benevolent, brave, fit riders set out Sept. 19 on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, a two-week cycling journey from the north end of Vancouver Island, to points west, then all the way to the southernmost shore.
The participants – 17 police officers, three members of the military and a media rider – will pedal to checkpoints along the way,
not in a cycle sprint to the finish, but as a team.
They’re not out to win any yellow jerseys, rather, they’re supporting, together, the yellow daffodil that symbolizes the Canadian Cancer Society and its good work and its endless task.
The Cops for Cancer’s efforts have raised $20 million since the ride’s inception in 1998. That money can and will make a difference, going not only to programs for children with cancer and their families, but also to pediatric cancer research.
There are two ways that we, as a community, can be part of the Tour de Rock as it passes through Sooke today.
The first is simply to watch for the tour, yield the right-of-way, and offer our smiles, waves, thumbs-up and encouragement.
The other way is to give to fight cancer not just for today, but tomorrow and the next day …
Because they’re pedalling toward something good and true and worthy. There are sick kids here, and elsewhere, and it will forever be
so, and we will be the ones who must care for them and care about them.
Let’s cheer on the Cops for Cancer as they complete the Tour de Rock. Let’s cheer on the members of this team, the home team, our team, as they ride, and in a way, race.
Tour de Rock’s journey is importantWE SAY: Let’s cheer on the Cops for Cancer as they complete the Tour de Rock.
Sugar tax may add common sense to our diet

You would never dream of cradling a bottle of tequila in your child’s left hand, a smoldering, fat cigar in her right, and sitting her down to savour the fumes wafting from the tailpipe of a running Chevrolet. Why aren’t you thinking twice before handing her an ice-cold bottle of pop?
This week’s call from the Canadian Diabetes Association for a sugar tax is a terrific idea, one that our politicians need to endorse.
Sugary drinks may be the single most under-appreciated health threat facing us today.
The links between high sugar consumption, obesity and diabetes are well-known. The
societal costs to families are incalculable, but the out-of-pocket burden on our health care system is easily tallied. According to the CDA, it will amount to $14 billion this year alone.
It’s simply common sense for some of the cost to be shouldered at the root of the problem.
Incessant burning of gasoline wreaks havoc with the environment, which in turn does the same to people’s respiratory systems.
Alcohol takes a terrible toll on livers and on the families forced to struggle with the ramifications of addiction. The link between cigarettes and cancer and a
bucketful of respiratory ailments is well-founded.
Perhaps because we don’t want a nanny state, perhaps because we treasure freedom of choice, perhaps because we simply think life is better fueled by a judicious bit of tobacco, alcohol or gasoline we haven’t banned any of these noxious pleasures. But we haven’t ignored them either.
Each has been the focus of widespread attempts to educate or even shame those who overuse and abuse. Each has been subjected to surcharges and levies aimed at recouping some of the cost it adds to our health care bills.
The same needs to be done for
sugary drinks.Pointed advertising campaigns
need to target those who make a case of soft drinks a part of their weekly routine. Moms and dads need to be warned right at the store about the amount of empty calories that slushy drinks or jumbo-size sodas pump into their child’s system.
Meanwhile, adding a sugar tax will create a new funding source for the treatment of diabetes and ailments related to obesity. It may also encourage people to shop for cheaper — and preferably healthier — alternatives to quench their thirst.
By offering your child certain cans of pop, you are effectively
spoonfeeding her 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar with no other nutritional value whatsoever.
If you saw your neighbours feeding their kids sugar by the spoonful, you’d probably be on the phone to social services. But for some reason not everyone is getting the message. We aren’t trying to demonize pop. We’re not saying never indulge yourself or your kids.
The issue is that it should be a treat, not a regular dietary staple. If your kid is thirsty, give him or her a drink of water. Then call up your MP and urge them to do some sweet talking about a sugar tax.

Readers’ letters: bears, carbon tax, homeless
Common sense and black bears
I find it amazing that before people move to Sooke they don’t realize it’s still a rural area with wildlife.
We love to see the black bears which doesn’t happen too often and if they do they go right on by – no food for them here.
People, a bit of common sense would help.

Many questions surround electric cars
Re: Carbon tax on gas-guzzlers fails to fire spark (Opinion, Sept. 23)
I enjoyed Octavian Lacatusu’s opinion piece on the all-candidates meeting at EMCS.
Although I wasn’t at the meeting, his observations about “a whole bunch of pie-in-the sky (albeit good) ideas being tossed around” sounded familiar.
Politicians of all stripes seem to be anxious to climb on the environmental bandwagon. That’s laudable, certainly, but I have yet to see a credible explanation of how we can solve the pollution problem by driving electric cars. Consider that B.C. Hydro has been telling us to conserve our juice use for years.
Does Hydro have the infrastructure to accommodate a higher demand for power? Is it practical to expect individuals to install charging stations at their homes? If more centralized charging stations are offered to the public, how much will it cost the average driver to “fill her up” with electricity?
Now, the real potential show stopper is the question of how to produce sufficient clean electricity to recharge all those eco-friendly vehicles. Do we want more dams? How about coal-fired power plants, or even nuclear facilities? Shall
we cover everything with solar panels? Windmills? Gas and oil generating plants are obviously out, because that again demands significant reliance on fossil fuels. Fuel cell technology doesn’t seem to be gaining much of a foothold.
My family recently bought a new car, but not a hybrid or electric because of the cost and impracticality. It was a compact, small displacement gas powered import which, hopefully, will last us for a few years. There were no eco-incentives I’m afraid.
I really hope politicians don’t get too zealous promoting more carbon taxes that will hit us all in the pocket book. And I really wish someone could reassure me we aren’t headed for a solution which may be worse than the mess we have already made for ourselves.

Look after Sooke’s homeless first
Re: Sooke’s issues are not Victoria’s issues (Opinion, Sept. 23)
Did anybody else note the irony of the bear and “bear attractants” story running back to back with the Victoria $50-million homeless housing plan?
If you don’t think that such grandiose schemes would attract even more homeless then you don’t know human nature.
As the movie line says, “Build it and they will come” – unfortunately from far away as Nova Scotia and every place in between.
Let’s do things for Sooke’s homeless first and foremost, and let Victoria run up its bills until reality sets in. And annoying as they may be, at least the black bears finding “attractants” in our backyards are our own.

Truck damages hydro power lines
This letter is to the driver of the over-height vehicle that left the scene after severing two electrical conductors (possibly more) that crossed the highway to supply two houses and caused damage where the conductors attach to the dwellings.
This event occurred at approximately 5 a.m. on Sept 22 in the 8700 block of West Coast Road (Gordon’s Beach) in Otter Point.
According to B.C. Hydro, homeowners are responsible for the attachment of electrical conductors at the house; they are also responsible for any repairs required at this point. A local company fixed the problem within several hours at a cost of more than $500 per house.
Judging by the length of wire on the side of the highway just east of this mishap, there may be other homes and household services affected. Since many residents of Gordon’s Beach are part-time, they may not find out about any damage until later.
The homeowners are hoping that the person responsible will come forward and pay for the repairs.
If anyone who has any information on this matter, please call 778-352-0857 or send an email to: [email protected].

Kevin LairdSooke News Mirror
It is still more than a year away, but the District of Sooke is already preparing for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017.
Council voted last week to take part in the Canada 150 Mosaic, a cross-country project that will see 150 communities create murals that represent their small part of Canada.
The overall design of the project, which is being run by Mural Mosaic, will be a series of train cars with each community creating an image representative of their own distinct culture using the talents of residents.
Upon completion of the project each community mural will remain in the town it was created as a reminder of the 150th anniversary.
The cost to the district for the 8x8 mural is $10,000. The remainder of the costs will be funded by Mural Mosaic. The district will likely apply for federal grants to lower the cost even further.
The size, cost and where the mural would be located came up for debate when two councillors – Kerrie Reay and Bev Berger – questioned the original recommendation of an 8x12-foot mural, which would cost the district $12,500.
“I feel this is a lovely
feel good project and would be an asset to our community, but for me it goes back to needs and wants,” Berger said. “This is definitely a want. I’m focused on the needs of beautifying the town centre.”
Reay said she supported the project, but questioned the need for a large mural.
“Why does it need to be the most expensive?” she asked. “What’s wrong with doing something a little bit more moderate?”
Coun. Kevin Pearson said any project that could potentially
involve 700 people in the community should be supported, but he didn’t think the mural should end up on district property on Wadams Way. He suggested it would be
more appropriate in the city centre.
Coun. Brenda Parkinson, who is championing the project, said Wadams Way was chosen because the district
owns the property there. It doesn’t own property in the city core.
She pointed out there are no rules where the mural must be located.
“We don’t necessarily need to hurry into this because the project is two years long,” Parkinson said. “We don’t need to have a location right now.”
In the end, council voted to fund the project to the tune of $10,000 for the 8x8 mural and prioritize city centre as a site. Berger voted against the motion.
Sooke’s application still requires approval by Mural Mosaic.
Other communities
participating the project include Penticton, Parksville, Campbell River, Abbotsford,
Revelstoke, Fort St. John, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and New Westminster.

Greetings! Pastor Rick from Sooke Baptist Church invited me to “sub in” for him today, and I am grateful for the opportunity to introduce myself. So, hello there! Although I have lived in Sooke with my family for the past eight years,
I am just now beginning a new ministry here. I am a United Church of Canada minister, and have been for 17 years, serving churches in Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Colwood and Saanich. I am more than happy to stop commuting and be able to fully invest in my home community!
I am sure it can be confusing to some, especially to non-church folks, to understand the seemingly endless number of religious groupings (denominations) that Christians belong to. Even here in Sooke there are over seven different Christian groups at work, in addition to gatherings of people of other faiths. Each denomination has its own history that leads it to a unique expression of faith: in belief statements, worship, and how it lives out its mission. If you’ve tried one church, you have defi nitely not tried them all – and it can take time to fi nd a church that feels like home.
The fi rst Sunday of October is “Worldwide Communion Sunday,” a day on which we remember our unity with followers of Jesus around the world. I am grateful to the local pastors for their welcome, and for how they and their churches are serving this community faithfully. I look forward to being part of that, and to meeting each of you!
(Rev) Erin Sterling, United Church of Canada

It is still more than a year away, but the District of Sooke is already preparing for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017.
Council voted last week to take part in the Canada 150 Mosaic, a cross-country project that will see 150 communities create murals that represent their small part of Canada.
The overall design of the project, which is being run by Mural Mosaic, will be a series of train cars with each community creating an image representative of their own distinct culture using the talents of residents.
Upon completion of the project each community mural will remain in the town it was created as a reminder of the 150th anniversary.
The cost to the district for the 8x8 mural is $10,000. The remainder of the costs will be funded by Mural Mosaic. The district will likely apply for federal grants to lower the cost even further.
The size, cost and where the mural would be located came up for debate when two councillors – Kerrie Reay and Bev Berger – questioned the original recommendation of an 8x12-foot mural, which would cost the district $12,500.
“I feel this is a lovely
feel good project and would be an asset to our community, but for me it goes back to needs and wants,” Berger said. “This is definitely a want. I’m focused on the needs of beautifying the town centre.”
Reay said she supported the project, but questioned the need for a large mural.
“Why does it need to be the most expensive?” she asked. “What’s wrong with doing something a little bit more moderate?”
Coun. Kevin Pearson said any project that could potentially
involve 700 people in the community should be supported, but he didn’t think the mural should end up on district property on Wadams Way. He suggested it would be

Project remains on budget and schedule
Concrete and pavement will be the focus of the Brownsey Boulevard roundabout and town centre project this week.
The work will consist of pouring concrete for the sidewalk and driveways on Brownsey Boulevard and continuing brick work on the sidewalks and paving of Brownsey.
On Sooke Road,
paving will get underway, weather permitting, from west of Brownsey to Church Road.
“The ministry’s primary concern is for the safety of the travelling public and construction workers. Lane shifts and traffic patterns are changing daily,” said Sonia Lowe, a public affairs officer with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
Travellers are reminded to be aware of workers, slow down for their safety and follow the directions of traffic control
personnel.The District of
Sooke is contributing $3.1 million for the roundabout, which fuses Sooke Road, Brownsey Boulevard and Evergreen Centre into one loop.
The province takes care of the rest with an additional $6 million for a complete revamp of Sooke Road between Otter Point and Church roads. Those improvements include new sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, curbs, bike lane and bus shelters.
The project remains on schedule and work
is expected to be finished this fall.

After years of isolation in Port Renfrew, when one had to travel by coastal steamer to get out into the larger world, it was a pretty exciting day when a logging road connected them to Shawnigan Lake Road.
Today when we can whiz on a paved road from Sooke to Port Renfrew in little more than an hour, it may be hard to visualize what was written in the Victoria Daily Times in May 1957: “Port Renfrew was once one of the most isolated communities on south Vancouver Island.”
The newspaper goes on to say: “At Port Renfrew we found that most of the people haven’t yet recovered from the shock of being connected with the outside world. ‘The road has opened the door to a new life for us’ said one logger. ‘Some of us, before, only got out of here once a year.’”
Service between Victoria and Port Renfrew was provided by the CPR’s SS Princess Maquinna from 1913 to 1952. In the late 1940s and early 1950s a patched together route of the logging truck railway systems in the San Juan Valley could carry passengers by speeder cab as
far as Bear Creek, where they could then drive by motor vehicle to Shawnigan Lake and on to the Malahat highway.
Two well-known Sooke men who can recall travelling through to Renfrew by this route when they were young are Lorne Christensen and Doug MacFarlane. So to actually sit in an automobile and drive the entire scenic mountainous access route on weekends when the trucks weren’t running, was cause for celebration indeed.
A year later even more good news came for the logging community when a series of logging roads connected Port Renfrew to Sooke in 1958.
Today’s asphalted circle route from Victoria to Sooke to Renfrew to Cowichan Lake and back to Highway One would have seemed a miracle to those hardy pioneer loggers and their wives.

A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate.
A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren’t using provincial programs.
B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides.
Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said availability of programs is better in urban areas than rural ones, but in general B.C. offers less respite care than Alberta and has more unpaid caregivers reporting distress.
Mackenzie said increasing availability for adult day programs
could reduce emergency visits from complex home care patients by a third, and hospital admissions by half, detecting medication or other health problems before they produce a hospital visit.
One puzzling result from the survey is that while there are waiting lists for adult day programs in B.C., one out of four spaces is empty each day. Mackenzie said there may be logistical problems with home care patients, such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is offered.
Mackenzie isn’t suggesting government-paid substitutes can replace volunteer caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but said they should have more opportunities to take a break.
Health Minister Terry Lake said the province has increased investments in home health services over the past 10 years.

Howard Borton may have worked as a local craftsman installing hot tubs by day as part of his family business, but by night, massive shiny and chrome shapes sprouted from his workshop, whether it was a bear, an eagle, a fish – even a dragon.
Following his death recently after a battle with cancer, Borton is both mourned and remembered by the local sculpting community for his unique pieces of work, most of which reflected the importance of endangered species.
His favourite material of creation was recycled chrome bumpers from cars – case in point that one man’s junk is one man’s treasure.
In this case, it was fodder for a masterpiece.
“Howard’s works had weight to them and huge impact, he was more about creating a surprise element,” said local Sooke sculptor Christa Rossner, who met Borton during last year’s Sculpture Splash in Esquimalt.
She recalls the scene “out of a fairytale”
of a 14-foot long, five-foot-tall dragon Borton had built, which was displayed by the water near Macaulay Point Park – due to the wind currents, its wings were flapping up and down as if it were about to take off.
And even though Borton couldn’t make this year’s Sculpture Splash event, his art pieces did. Township community arts council president Morlene Thomilson said an old friend of Borton’s, Paul Steele, a courier, had volunteered to not only haul all of his works, but to also help other artists set up the show, all for free.
“Howard’s house is in the middle of nowhere in Sooke, but yet he [Steele] went out with his five-ton truck and he picked up all of his work,” she said.
“He installed it, he helped other artists install their work, and at the end of the exhibition he took everything back and offered to deliver any pieces that were sold.”
As it turns out, it was just in time for Borton’s unique chrome pieces to shine against the sky, as he passed away just days before the event.
Rossner said that while his presence
at the show was missed, at least his pieces remain in everyone’s memory forever.
“He was a man who wanted to create joy, surprise and delight in people. He certainly accomplished that,” she said.

A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate.
A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren’t using provincial programs.
B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides.

When do Dentures Need to be Replaced?

250-478-2114 | 6689B Sooke Road
If your dentures are in a drawer because they just “don’t feel right” or are loose or are causing sore spots in your mouth, you should see a denturist to have them evaluated and possibly adjusted, relined or remade. It is
important to know that dentures typically need to be replaced every � ve to seven years because like the rest of your body, your mouth also goes through considerable changes over time that can impact the � t and function of your dentures. Unless you have dental implants, one of the most signi� cant changes that consistently occurs in your mouth is bone shrinkage and it is this bone shrinkage that can a� ect your denture’s � t and function. It is important to continue with regular check up visits to your denturist to make sure your teeth are � tting properly as well as to be examined for any signs of oral cancer. Your denturist can tell you how o� en you need to come in for check- ups.

Tyler Duncan is a little surprised that U.S. universities are tripping over themselves to talk to him.
After all, Duncan hardly heard a peep from schools last year, but everyone wants a piece of him now that he’s in his final year at Edward Milne Community School, and likely one of the best young baseball prospects in B.C., if not Canada.
“Entering Grade 12, I hadn’t really talked to schools, and now all of a sudden they’re calling me and texting me. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so different than playing last year,’” he said.
Duncan, 17, shouldn’t be surprised considering the season he had with the Victoria Eagles of the Premier Baseball League this year.
The young centrefielder, who stands 6’2” and weighs 190 lbs., throws right and bats left and is considered a five-tool player: hits for average, hits for power, good arm, fields his position well and has great speed (60 yards in 6.5 seconds).
When the PBL announced its All Conference Awards earlier this month, Duncan was named the league’s MVP and top offensive player.
Duncan’s success wasn’t handed to him, he worked for everything he earned this year, said Eagles’ manager Anthony Pluta.
“He’s worked his tail off to get where he is now,” he said.
Duncan, who has lived in Sooke his whole life, participated in all the major sports the community offered: hockey, soccer and fastball. As he grew, he wanted to play baseball, but that meant going into Langford and Victoria.
“I like everything about baseball. I just love being on the field making those diving catches or hitting a home run. It makes you want to go back out there everyday,” he said.
It didn’t take long before Duncan was named to summer travel teams and caught the eye of Eagles’ management.
He played his first season with the Eagles two years, while in Grade 10. This season was his banner year where he led the team on and off the field.
Pluta wasn’t surprised.“In his first year, we saw a big kid with big
potential and threw him into the fire in his Grade 10 year, and let him play with guys who went on to play college baseball or even got drafted,” Pluta said.
“I think that helped to boost his confidence a little bit.”
Earlier this month Duncan was invited to a Toronto Blue Jays tournament and showcase hosted by baseball great Roberta Alomar in Rogers Centre, and later this year he will attend a baseball showcase in Florida for top baseball prospects.
“I’ve had a lot of good coaches who have helped me a lot that’s why I was so successful this year,” Duncan said.
Tyler Duncan is the son of Don and Cherie Duncan.

The U10 girls started their season with a 3-0 win against Juan de Fuca at John Stubbs elementary school field in youth soccer action last weekend.
The team worked hard in its first game. Goals were scored by Sabrina Stewart and Emma Childs.
••• U13 girls were
pretty excited as they prepared to play against Gorge. This game marked the girls first time playing full field but it did not deter them as the first half was a hard fought battle with Gorge leading by one.
The second half proved to be a different story though as Sooke opened up the scoring in the first minute of
play with a well placed ball by Kattia Bingham.
Within six minutes, Sooke found the back of Gorge’s net again by a well placed ball by Lexis Patey. Final score: Sooke 2 Gorge 1.
•••Brittney Homer
scored two goals as U14 girls Sooke Tidalwaves defeated Cowichan 5-0.
Other Sooke goals were scored by Chloe Berger, Allana Garat and Jaylin Shaw.
Sooke keeper Holly Conwright and Emma Muttitt split duties in goal and the shutout.
•••The U15 girls came
up against their Juan de Fuca rivals and drew to a 1-1 score.
Faith Knoles got the Sooke goal early. The
local squad outworked and outplayed JDF with many chances but couldn’t knock the ball between the pipes.
••• The Division 4 men
brought victory to the Sooke fields Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 win over Gorge.
Chris Kuzman kicked in the game’s lone goal.
With a mix of young and veteran players Sooke dominated the game.
•••Sooke Over 30b
women, the Jaggers, played their first home game against Peninsula, with the local side winning 6-4.

Veteran squad fills pee wee hockey rosterKevin LairdSooke News Mirror
A veteran group of players will be the heart of the Sooke Thunderbirds Pee Wee A hockey squad this season.
Coach Martin Knowles has 10 returnees from last year’s club, which advanced to the Island finals.
“We were a young team last year and we’re a veteran team this year,” Knowles said. “This year’s team has a good skill set.”
The Thunderbirds are again eyeing a trip to the Island finals, with the goal of making it to the provincial playdowns in March.
Scoring goals shouldn’t be a problem for the Thunderbirds, and they have strong goaltending with Alex Kozinka between the pipes.
“Alex is one of four
or five players who we look to take a leadership role this year,” Knowles said.
The three rookies who made the club
are also expected to contribute both offensively and defensively.
“They’re fitting in well with the team.
They are playing solid and stepping up to play the faster pee wee game,” Knowles said.
Last weekend, the Thunderbirds began
the tiering round which will determine which division they’ll play in this season in the Vancouver Island Hockey Association.
The’Birds opened against Juan de Fuca on Saturday and wrap it up against Oceanside (Parksville) and Powell River on Oct. 17
and 18.Knowles expects the
biggest rivalry will be with Kerry Park (Mill Bay) and Juan de Fuca.
The Sooke Midget A Thunderbirds powered their way to a win and a tie in the first weekend of tiering games in the Vancouver Island Hockey Association.
On Saturday, the Thunderbirds clobbered Mill Bay’s Kerry Park Islanders 7-4, with defenceman Aidan Wood collecting two goals. Other Sooke markers were scored by Brandon Jay, Jack Kendall, Tyson Friesen, Dexter Kennedy and James Vince.
Jay’s goal was special as it was his first game with the Thunderbirds and he scored it on his first shift.
Sooke came out flying in the game scoring four goals in the first period.
Sunday’s game against the Oceanside Icebreakers was marred by an injury to Sooke forward Aiden Gulach who crashed into the boarders, suffering a dislocated knee cap. Due to the injury, the game was called after two periods.
Vince scored Sooke’s lone goal in the second period.

Spring and chinook salmon fishing in Sooke has slowed down after an incredibly good season.
There are still a few nice chinooks being caught near the harbour mouth and at Otter Point. Some of these fish have been taken slightly deeper, 100 to 120 feet on the downriggers in 120 to 130 feet of water, while others are still being taken at 70 to 80 feet on the downriggers in 100 feet of water.
As the springs coming in are fewer and farther between, trollers are now turning their attention to coho and halibut fishing.
Coho are usually found by covering water from the shallows out to the shipping lanes running favourite hootchies or spoons from 60 to 90 feet
on the downriggers. Coho killers, Coyote spoons, green/white/yellow hootchies, small pink squirts, and many other artificial lures work well, not to mention anchovy trolled in a variety of anchovy teaser heads.
Remember two hatchery coho only per person until Oct. 1 when you can keep one wild coho per person and up to three hatchery fish.
Halibut has been good with many anglers coming back with multiple fish. The secrets being location, depth, fresh bait and patience – lots of patience. Someone told me if you sit on anchor in 200 feet of water in Sooke long enough you will catch a halibut.

The Sooke Region Museum has 10 functional buildings on its grounds. One of these buildings is called the Pavilion, and it is where a vast majority of the industrial artifacts are stored.
A lot of museums choose to store industrial artifacts, such as vehicles and farming equipment, outside because they are too big and heavy to bring indoors.
Artifacts that have an outdoor home need regular maintenance and repairs as environmental conditions cause corrosion of the exposed metals. So, the museum created a shelter to minimize the weathering and deterioration of the artifacts.
The Pavilion, built in the late 1970s, has a roof, which was repaired in 2012, and chain link fence siding. It has two floors, but only the lower level is utilized for storing artifacts. Also in 2012, all four sides were wrapped in an industrial strength plastic to minimize the amount of debris that was getting blown into the Pavilion through the fencing. This has proven to be extremely effective and has decreased damage from the elements to the artifacts.
Over the past three summers more than 10 collections assistants have spent time reorganizing and documenting all the artifacts in the Pavilion. One of the biggest challenges we have had is matching each artifact with its identification number because, due to weathering, the numbers have worn off each piece.
There are close to 500 artifacts housed inside the Pavilion. Most of the artifacts are inorganic, meaning they are made from non-living materials such as metal, stone or glass. However, there are artifacts with wooden components inside the Pavilion too. There is a huge range of artifacts from saws, farming equipment, fishing gear, hand operated washing machines, a carriage and even a truck.
The truck (1975.007.001a-c) was donated to the museum in 1975 by Elmer Stolth. The truck, which was made in Canada, is a green 1925-1926 Model-T flat deck Ford. Most of the original structure has been replaced and extensive maintenance has taken place over the last three decades. The truck is situated in the middle of the Pavilion so that it is one of the last artifacts affected by incoming debris and weather conditions.
Another large artifact in the Pavilion is a Massey Harris hay binder (1978.122.001a-m). The binder was donated in 1978 by Alan Goyette and is nearly five feet tall and close to 13 feet long. This binder was built in the first decade of the 1900s. There are remnants of paint suggesting it was once painted red and green. This binder was most likely pulled by horses.
The Pavilion is open, by request, during the summer months. Tours of the Pavilion are also given during school programming in the spring.
