Sooke Region CHI expanding membership Sooke Region Community Health Initiative (CHI) was recently advised by the BC Registrar of Cooperatives that it was successful in its submission of revising its bylaws.

The result of this is that membership can be broadened out to the whole community and the cooperative can promote the interests of the region.

CHI marked its 10th anniversary by amalgamating with Sooke Cooperative Association of Service Agencies (CASA). CHI now operates as a cooperative non-profit society, which allows it to manage its own grant funding and to act as an umbrella organization for other voluntary groups. CHI has open membership to individuals and organi-

zations as it did before and has added a Board of Directors of up to 11 members who assume a leadership and governance role for a predetermined period. A new voting member category has also been added, allowing interested residents and organizations to take part in the board’s decisions. The board has its own standing committees, one of which is the Membership and Nominations Committee that is enabling community members to recruit more representation and participation. It also has several working committees that bring together interested community residents and other experts to concentrate on new initiatives. “There are great opportunities for Sooke

region residents to participate in and support development in our community. Individu-

als can focus on areas of their own interest and expertise,” current Chair Mitzi Dean com-

mented. Applications for membership can be sent to her at mdean@ pcfsa.org.

A life in film: Special effects magic Sooke resident coordinates all the action

Submitted photos

Bill Mills with, from top, Jack Nicholson, Antonio Banderas, Sean Penn and right Al Pacino.

Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

Hanging out with Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn isn’t a bad way to end a work day, neither is meeting Al Pacino or Antonio Banderas and Omar Sharif on the set of 13th Warrior. Working on the X Files, X Men and The Pledge are no small feats either.

If you think of any film or television series filmed in British Columbia over the past 22 years, it’s likely Bill Mills was involved in some way.

Mills is a special effects coordinator in the film industry and he lives in Sooke. His journey onto some of the most interesting film sets in B.C. came about quite accidentally. He was called in to help repair a special effects trailer on the The X Files set and everything else progressed from there.

That was in 1992. He worked on that series for five years until the production was moved to California.

Mills is sort of a Jack-of-all-trades. He’s worked at numerous jobs spanning a wide variety of occupations — from owning and running a karaoke bar in Victoria to being a traffic controller. All of these led him to Dave Gauthier, whom he considers the best special effects coordinator in the business.

“You have to know what you’re doing in all fields,” said Mills. “I was a good suit for the job.”

Mills just wrapped up work on Gracepoint which was filmed in Victoria between January

Tim Pharmicist

and May of this year.

Gracepoint is a 10-part mini series fashioned after the British series Broadchurch.

Mills said it’s been called an “emotional thriller.”

“Gracepoint was a very demanding show but because of the great pool of veteran expertise, they pulled it off in style,” said Mills.

Being in the film industry is not easy.

The days are extremely long and demanding.

It does come with its perks, like great pay and a chance to meet some of the stars. Mills said working on The X Files and X Men were definitely highlights of his career so far.

“Working closely with Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn was great,” he said. Other “stars” maybe not so much.

What Mills does is blow up stuff, create smoke, fire and explosions. He has hauled 100-pound bomb mortars up the side of mountains and he has made it snow or rain on command. He waters down city streets for night time shoots, and he helps create the atmospheres so sought after by the photographers and directors.

Special effects means dealing with anything that is moving.

“I used Mainroad Contracting water trucks to wet down the roads at night to double the lighting, so the

Patty Pharmicist

director has a lot more eye candy,” he said.

He created a 12-foot bonfire on Island View Beach fueled by propane for Gracepoint. If it involves pyrotechnics, then Mills is the guy they call. Sometimes he is called in to do the impossible. He said he often wonders how he can pull those off, but he does.

“It has to work perfectly and safely for the actors and stunt men.

They are oners, there’s no testing involved.”

Mills is nothing but complimentary about the film industry and the film crews in British Columbia.

“They’re the best crews in the world,” he

said. “With the current change in the tax credits the forecast is for a much better future in film here. It’s a real close community.”

For now Mills is relaxing after the arduous months of filming, but he can’t sit still for long and is seeking something to fill in the gaps. He’d like some work closer to home as he is a bit tired of the travel. So, he’s looking for something where he can utilize his numerous talents.

He would like to direct one day but he said, “No matter how small or big the challenges are for 100 success, this is a dream job.”

Elder logging camp birthday party 1942 This endearing photo reminds us of life in simpler times. The birthday party was held at Elder’s Camp around 1942. The little girls in their party dresses and shoes look so sweet, all dolled up, and the handful of boys in the group are all spruced up as well. The photo came to our collection from Mrs. Cawsey, who gave the party for her daughters Lorraine and Jeannie.

While readers with a history in the region will remember Elder’s Camp, many others won’t recognize the name. Driving west from Sooke, just before you reach Muir Creek, there’s a road heading off to the right, Anderson Road. While it’s not heavily travelled today, this road led to Elder Logging Company’s

A talk with the mayor Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

For close to 20 years the District of Sooke has been holding a Safe Halloween for the trick or treating kids. It came about because of the vandalism and antics of some youth in the past and the need to have a place that was family friendly.

Mayor Wendall Milne said it was first organized by the community, then the volunteer fire fighters took it over and now they are wanting to turn it over to another community group.

“Anyone in the community can be the lead

headquarters from the mid-1930s through the 1960s.

Besides the logging office buildings, the sawmill, machine shops, filing shed, the cluster of Elder family homes, the bunkhouse,

cookhouse and blacksmith shop, there were camp cottages that provided homes for the married loggers and their families. There were perhaps twenty such cottages, built in logging camp style,

on it, there’s no cost just a lot of physical work,” said Milne.

He wonders if the community thinks it is important enough to continue, because if it is then some group needs to step forward to ensure it happens on Halloween night.

“What do we do with this? Do we abandon it and shelve it at least for this year?” questioned Milne.

He said when it first began the entire Evergreen Centre was turned into a play zone.

It moved to the Sooke Community Hall at some point, where it has been for the past while.

Safe Halloween is a bunch of structures which include haunted house, which the kids love to be scared by.

“I still think it’s

important for the social aspect but we can only do so much,” he said.

If there is interest out there in continuing this fun tradition, call Wendal Milne at the municipal hall at 250-642-1634.

Other news on the municipal agenda include the building of new sidewalks. The sidewalk construction is a phased approach with the first zone stretching from Murray and Otter Point Road to where the new roundabout will be (opposite the exit from Evergreen Centre). This will lead up to the construction of the roundabout, which is inching closer with land acquisition dealings.

Mayor Milne said the talks with the Ministry of Transport and people at the ministerial level have “been posi-

where the families created the social life of the logging community.

Ed Elder, the boss, even had a school built on site in order to keep the families happy. Called Muir Creek School, the 36’ x 40’ structure was open between 1941 and 1954, when buses carried students directly to Sooke elementary school.

In the photo are Lorraine (now Earp) and Jeannie Cawsey, Dorothy and Evelyn Arthurs, Glenda and Esther Gibson (now Pimlott and Herrling, respectively) and Jimmie Gibson, Faye, Connie and Sally Brown (now Bullen), Christina and Nana-Lisa Matson, Evelyn Dods, Peggy and Dorothy Hamilton, Howard and Jo Ann Elder and Larry Johnson.

Sally Brown, the

youngest of logging contractor Alf Brown’s three daughters, went on to graduate in 1958 from Edward Milne High school and to marry Glenn Bullen, son of another early forestry family, who became one of Sooke’s hotshot softball pitchers.

Sally, who contributed many years on the executive of Sooke Region Historical Society and now lives in Comox, says “I have good memories of those years; altogether everyone in the camp made one big happy family.” Her sentiments are confirmed today by birthday girl Lorraine, who says “And it’s true - we were one big happy family.”

Elida Peers, Historian Sooke Region Museum

tive to date.” He said, “they are not going to stand in our way. We are hoping the new connector road will take some of the weight off Sooke Road.”

Milne said there are 15,500 vehicles traveling through the center of Sooke every day. He is hoping people will check out the new connector road (Wadams Way) once it is completed and use it for their daily commute.

Coming up on the November ballot will be a borrowing question. The district wants to build a new community centre/library with seniors and youth in mind and they would need the authority from the taxpayers to borrow money which would be repaid over the next 20 years.

“There’s lots to do,” said Milne, “and not enough time to do it.”

Food truck fulfills dream SOOKE NEWS MIRROR -- Wednesday, Wednesday, June June 18, 18, 2014 2014

Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

Fine dining choices are once again expanding in Sooke.

Added to the growing repertoire of dinner choices is a food truck that has set up a permanent location at the East Sooke General Store. The Traveling Smoke Show is a highly customized food truck that serves up “smoked fare.” Delectable tidbits include pulled pork and porchetta sandwiches, chicken fingers, and even a vegetarian option called the Tree Hugger.

Owner and operator Ash Lenick promises a menu that will continually add new items.

Lenick likes food, and he likes to experiment.

It’s a good combination, a combination that has produced the original Salami Fries.

The food truck is fulfilling a dream for Lenick. “This is a prototype,” he says of his truck. Ultimately, he would like to have a fleet of food trucks serving different types of food.

He, like many other local fine food establishments in Sooke, has a vision of promoting local. As much as possible, Lenick is interested in sourcing food from local growers. He encourages local food providers to get in touch him.

Only a few weeks in operation this year, Lenick has already

He can be found at the Sooke Region Museum on Thursday evenings, and in East Sooke at the general store from Tuesday to Saturday. landed opportunities at the Night Market and the Bluegrass festival in Sooke. Receiving mentorship from existing businesses has contributed to Lenick’s explosion into the food scene. He also has a business plan to guide him. That, and he’s got an ear to the ground, approaching his business ideas with an open mind.

“I always listen to what people have to say,” he said. It’s not about what he likes, it’s what the community likes.

“Supporting local community and sticking together” is core to Lenick’s business philosophy, as is “sourcing out locally. I’m not a fan of using big conglomerate companies,” he said.

Ultimately, he’s in this business so that he can wake up happy knowing he has gain-

fully contributed in a meaningful way to the community in which he lives.

“I’ve always had that dream, to have my own business and to be successful with it. I don’t think money is my initial goal,” he explained.

“It’s more about being happy and (having) a good quality of life.

That’s why I’m here,”

he says, referencing East Sooke.

The Traveling Smoke Show truck is ready to serve its smoked fare from Tuesdays to Saturdays at the General Store in East Sooke from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Dave Bigelow, owner of the General Store, was happy to let Lenick set up his truck at his parking lot. Bigalow said he shared Lenick’s business philosophy of “small businesses helping small businesses.”

On Thursday evenings they can be found at Sooke’s new Night Market at the museum, and on Sunday you’ll have to travel as far as Victoria where they set up shop at Bastion Square.

Mondays are his one day of rest. And that’s when he’s on the phone connecting with his suppliers.

A place to gather is needed in Sooke Does Sooke need a new community centre?

Absolutely, without question. Should the district borrow money to make it happen? Absolutely.

The Sooke region is one of the fastest growing municipalities on southern Vancouver Island.

Enrolment in schools in SD 62 is rising while in other regions they are closing schools. That means there are more youth, more elderly folks and more people in general moving out this way. What the district needs to do is provide them with a place to meet. Youthful unrest is common in places where there is little to do. Sure, there’s sports and the outdoors, but not all youth are oriented physically. We have no movie theatre, bowling alley or arcades.

The seniors on the opposite end of the spectrum also need a place to gather. They have been shuffled around from place to place for the past four or five years and they are yearning for a spot to call home. The Sooke Community Hall is old, musty and expensive to maintain. The association members running it are tired and would probably like to pass it onto the district. It is important though to keep the hall, as it is a historic building in so many ways.

Okay, so Sooke could have an amazing facility with space for youth and seniors and a larger library. It will cost, and the district will need to borrow money in order to make this happen. That question could be on the November ballot. It is imperative that those who would support such a move get out and vote.

Speaking about voting, Councillors Kerrie Reay and Kevin Pearson have stated they plan to run again. Others have not told us directly with their decisions being made in the next while. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have a mayor and council that got along? It could happen — if we remember history and choose wisely.

ANOTHER VIEW

‘No’ to motorized vehicles in CRD park For the past six years, I have participated on the Capital Regional District (CRD) Regional Park’s committee and have advocated for a shuttle service to be considered to Sheilds or Grass Lakes from the Harbourview Road parking lot.

I personally support the CRD’s position forbidding individual motorized vehicles in the parks but also believe that we should be offering a shuttle service for those who wish to enjoy the lakes but are unable to make the hike.

In the hopes of saving my constituents, residents of Sooke and my friends on the District of Sooke council some unnecessary time and stress over this issue, I would like to layout the CRD’s official position which as you will read is non-negotiable without a tremendous public process and consultation with the T-Sou’ke First Nations.

The Sea to Sea lands are currently a Park Reserve which will one day become a Regional Park.

My question to CRD Parks Management was: “Can Regional Parks consider a shuttle service to Sheilds or Grass Lakes from the

Harbourview Road parking lot?”

Here is the answer: As a Regional Park Reserve: No — the CRD cannot consider a motorized shuttle service within the Sea to Sea. This is due to the park’s status as a reserve or “land banked” property, which in essence means that no facilities or services are provided to the public.

Currently, the Sea to Sea, as a regional park reserve, is “closed” to public use, although people do informally access the park for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding along unmarked and mostly unmaintained trails. While in park reserve status, CRD Regional Parks provides only the minimal level of management and operational support necessary to maintain the Sea to Sea as a public asset.

As a regional park reserve, CRD Regional Park policies, regulations and agreements still apply.

As a Regional Park: No — the CRD cannot consider a motorized shuttle service within the Sea to Sea. It is inconsistent with current policies, regulations and agreements.

Motorized use in the Sea to

Sea is prohibited based on the following policies, regulations and agreements; this applies to both the status as a regional park reserve or a regional park: • Board-approved Sea to Sea Park Management Plan (2010).

• Board-approved Regional Parks Strategic Plan (2012).

• CRD Bylaw 3682 regulating the use of regional parks and trails (2010).

• Conservation covenants placed on the Sea to Sea lands.

Designation as a non-motorized wilderness area in the Sea to Sea Park Management Plan.

Sooke Mountain Provincial Park Purpose Statement.

Changing the approved park management plan would require a plan amendment. A plan amendment would require a full public consultation process, Board approval, and the support of the T’Sou-ke Nation.

I do not write this to condemn or support the CRD position but as solid information to make decisions. My decision is to leave this alone and focus on issues that I can solve.

From the Sooke Salmon Enhancement sign up on Sooke Road to the piers at the Crab Shack, we asked: Why do you fish?

When you’re out there, you’re 3,000 miles away from parliament. There’s no mortgage, no kids, and no wife. You’re just fishing.

I love the sport of it, and I love feeding the whole family, immediate and extended.

That, and it’s so healthy.

It’s my hobby. It’s a way to blow off the stress, and to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful West Coast.

You know where your food comes from, and you can share it with your family and friends. There's nothing more rewarding.

Cat finds new home I unfortunately had to find a home for my 19-pound coon cat, age nine years due to health.

I contacted SAFARS and she came and picked up my cat, and said she’d find a home for him.

I was very upset having to give up my cat and she assured me he’d be well taken care of, at no charge, and she’ll find him a home.

This was on June 5, and she called me on Saturday, June 7 to tell me a couple with two children had adopted him. I was so pleased.

She said, “why don’t people bring their cats to me when they don’t want them, instead of just dropping them off anywhere with their kittens?” Cats need homes and food, as we do.

Standing by tax increase numbers Tom Myrick writes in the June 11 Sooke News Mirror that “Council has chosen to mislead Sooke residents about our tax increase.”

Bears love garbage Deanna Brett photo

I have seen a bear trap close to this sighting within the past few weeks. Living in the area you think there would be some sort of effort to keep the bears away, made by the people living in the area.

I can’t help but also notice how easy it was for this bear to get a hold of the trash. There isn’t even a lid on the can. This was at around 7:30 a.m. and had there been a lock, lid, bungy cord anything, maybe the bear wouldn’t have bothered. Perhaps he’d run off in the woods and eat berries like a good bear. Also down the street there was another bag ripped apart.

I hate to see these bears destroyed, or moved but we’re not making it any easier for them. I’ve had my garbage destroyed by bears at least three times in the past couple years. No matter what I did it came and ripped apart my garbage can. I had no choice but to move it indoors and remove it as it accumulated.

The pics aren’t great, but I wanted to show how it’s made so easy for them. I’m no expert but this bear looks a tad thin. Might be the reason for easy food run. Let’s try to protect ourselves and the bears by being bear aware.

Deanna Brett Sooke the assessed value. As our tax notice which was prepared by our Director of Finance, a Chartered Accountant, clearly states, you multiply the tax rate times the assessed value to arrive at the amount of taxes to be paid. This year we determined that we were going to increase the total amount of taxes collected by .21 per cent as compared to 2013 ($6,183,335 in 2014

compared to $6,170,311 in 2013). In 2014 the average assessed value of a residential property decreased to $334,762 from $345,813 and the average commercial property valued decreased from $491,878 to $461,924.

Obviously to collect the same level of taxes as collected in 2013 plus .21 per cent we had to increase the tax rate. That same situation applies to

2012 and 2013. KPMG have audited the financial statements of the district for 2012, 2013, years prior and have confirmed that we are using accepted accounting principles.

Of the total property tax you pay, only 40 per cent is applied directly to municipal services. Your final tax bill includes taxes we collect on behalf of and transfer directly to the Library, BC Transit,

CRD, Regional Hospital, School, BC Assessment Authority and the Municipal Finance Authority, amounts which we have no control over. What we have had control over and have achieved with a lot of hard work by our professional staff and council are tax increases in 2012 of 0 per cent, 2013 of 1.57% per cent and 2014 .21% per cent for a three year total of 1.78 per cent for the District of Sooke.

I would like Mr. Myrick to point to any other municipality in B.C. that has achieved this. Yes, Mr. Myrick is correct the tax rate has increased but the assessed values have decreased so you the tax payer are paying 1.78 per cent more dollars in Sooke district taxes than you did in 2011.

I invite Mr. Myrick to meet with our Director of Finance and learn about how the level of taxation and the resulting amounts are determined.

We have accomplished this while setting aside $50,000 a year

Check the history Reading the T’Souke tribal chief’s excellent presentation of facts rebutting Matt Lambert’s attack on their aquaculture project at Anderson Cove, I remember a story by the person of tribal background who started restaurants in Vancouver decades ago.

She told of how at age nine she hated her

letters task of carrying stones to enhance the family’s “clam garden,” many decades ago, but her mother gave her no choice. The family was farming clams, in a simple way - is that what the T’Sou-ke tribe is now doing?

Lambert should read the history of Sooke, in which people who moved from Victoria complained about the smoke from tribal people burning underbrush to enhance berry production. And of the Garry Oak meadows environmentalists consider mystical – created by felling trees with fire to create more interface periphery where animals they harvested lived and more open space for edible plants

like Camus lilies of the safe colour. Meadows maintained with fire to suppress growth of new trees.

Lambert talks as though the T’Sou-ke’s tribal ancestors were simple hunter-gatherers, but in reality they were also basic farmers.

political platitudes that meant nothing - I suppose that is expected from a career politician.

The questions were as follows: 1. How many people actually play horseshoes in Sooke? (a simple number will do, 10 or 100 or 1,000 or whatever it may be?); 2. What will the horseshoe club do in repercussion should the council drop it off the agenda? (Mr. Kasper said they were obliged to keep it in their plans as a previous council had agreed to it - which in a democracy is absurd); 3. “Would you send an employee of your’s on a training course knowing they may be

leaving soon? (this is easy, yes or no - no long winded excuse to rationalize someone’s situation).” Ms. Reay, Mr. Kasper and Mr. Haldane refuse to answer this question.

Mr. Kasper eventually did admit that he had no idea how many people are in the horseshoe club and what amount of people are expected to use it quite shocking to know that our council is going to spend money

on this special interest group without knowing the full story.

Surely, besides money for horseshoes, we need sidewalks and streetlights sorted out before we spend a penny on horseshoes or other special interest groups - especially if our councillors have no idea how many people will actually use it.

“Together We Can”

The Pastor's Pen The Value of a Community It is fascinating to see a developing world where everything takes place through iPads, tablets, smartphones, and email. Electronic funds transfer, and Skype have replaced dealing with people face to face. We don’t take the time for togetherness. Even if we are in the same room, when the television is on to our favourite show we are not engaged with those around us. Although social media increase some forms of sharing, we are increasingly absorbed in our own personal digital world, and as a result we are losing the togetherness of community.

Everyone is working long hours, so active, so involved, but there is little interest or concern for deep sharing. True care takes time, focus and attention. Community is where people know their friends’ needs and act on them.

True community takes place where hope is shared, faith is shared, love is shared. These only have meaning through the intimacy of personal relationship. Without real community, we do not experience any of them in depth.

The Christian church is community; a deep, enriching community that supports the soul and offers love for one another; deep, personal, Christian love. The only way to truly appreciate and experience that community, however, is to participate in it, to be fully engaged in it, not just witness it as a bystander.

Take the time to connect with others in your local Christian church and you will discover the true value of community.

Double treat from orchestra The Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra’s June 28 and 29 concerts promise two rare treats.

One is the opportunity to take in the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Norman Nelson, who has been heard to say that this is one of his favourite works by one of his favourite composers.

The other is a performance of the challenging and beautiful Tschaikovsky Violin Concerto by the talented Alice Haekyo Lee, who placed first in the Don Chrysler Concerto Competition in 2012.

Haekyo Lee, who is 14, is currently studying at the Toronto Conservatory of Music.

She played Saint-Saens’ Violin Concerto No.3 with the orchestra in October 2012, and the orchestra is delighted to have her back.

About the Concerto for Orchestra, Norman Nelson said, “In 1957, I started performing this work when I joined the London Symphony Orchestra. Since then, having played most of Bartok’s symphonic output many times, with many orchestras, I have come to know and love his wonderful music and, of course,

Maestro Norman Nelson especially this last great Concerto. These coming Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra concerts in June will be the first time I have conducted the work and I hope not the last. I wanted to offer the music lovers of Sooke a chance to hear this unique and passionate music played live.”

What Nelson didn’t say is that he is passionate about the music of Bartok and has a connection through the conductor who worked directly with Bartok.

“It is going to be extraordinary,” said SPO viola player Michelle MacHattie.

She said the entire orchestra is behind Nelson in this work especially.

“It’s hard, quite mod-

ern and spectacular in a way Sooke hasn’t heard before,” she said.

Both Michelle and her husband Trevor are players in the orchestra. Michelle plays viola and Trevor is the principle cello player.

The Concerto for Orchestra certainly is performed regularly, but you won’t hear it every day. It is an amazing work, with constantly shifting colours and rhythms, and goes from delicate to playful, tragic to jocular, subtle to rough – all with a Hungarian accent. It requires a large orchestra with skilled brass, woodwinds and percussion.

The work was composed in 1943 when Bartok was already in poor health. He was

able to attend the first performance in 1944, which was a great success. Performers, audience, and Koussevitsky, who had commissioned the work, loved it.

Beethoven’s Egmont Overture begins the program.

The Victoria performance will be a first for the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra in that they will be performing on the large stage at UVic. Saturday, June 28, 7:30 p.m. at Edward Milne Community School. Tickets available online at www. sookephil.ca or in Sooke from Little Vienna Bakery, Shoppers Drug Mart, South Shore Gallery, Wood Travel and Cruise; in Victoria from Ivy’s Bookshop or Long & McQuade; in Westshore at Tom Lee Music; in Metchosin at the Metchosin Country Store.

Sunday, June 29, 7:30 p.m. at the University Centre Farquhar Auditorium, University of Victoria. Tickets available online at www. tickets.uvic.ca or at the UVic Ticket Centre, University Centre – B wing (250-721-8480).

Local theatre group looks forward Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

It’s gala, open stage, annual general meeting and it’s all happening on June 21.

The Sooke Harbour Players are racking up

another year of credits for their performances and hard work by the volunteers. Godspell was their large musical production and they have other productions in the works. Thom Southwood is in the middle of getting Afterlife onto the stage for Halloween and others are working at a minimusical performance for the Leechtown Day on July 19.

“We had a great turn out for cast for Afterlife,” said players president Steve Anderson. “But we could use backstage and production help.”

The Leechtown

musical was written

by Linda Abraham and the script is based on the gold rush at Leechtown.

“They will be singing some authentic 1800s songs,” said Anderson.

“It’s a mini musical thing.”

The Annual General Meeting will be more than people sitting around in chairs and voting in the next executive. That business part will take about an hour and then Taylor Caspersen takes the open stage to get people up and jamming.

“He’s a young talent and we encourage him,” said Anderson.

Hear. . .

The gala evening will be held at the Sooke Community Hall dining room on June 21 beginning at 7 pm.

Anderson said the event is open to anyone with an interest in theatre, not just Sooke Harbour Players members. He said they want

to draw more people into the fold of the players group.

“You can learn a lot of new things being involved,” said Anderson. If you want to get involved contact the groups at: sookeharbourplayersinfo@ gmail.com.

Sooke Harbour Players has a new logo, is increasing their social media presence and they’ve updated their website: sookeharbourplayers.com.

Sooke Harbour Players had a name change in 2012, previously they were known as Stage

West Players. They have been in the arts scene in Sooke since 1982 and have entertained with many productions including musicals, dinner theatre and plays.

The show goes on Pirjo Raits

A deal worth changing for.

Sooke News Mirror

“It’s just like a reality show when they have to put on an event, — quickly,” said Sarah Wilson, choir director for the Sooke Youth Show Choir.

Wilson made reference to a reality show because of the ongoing labour dispute. The choir will not be able to hold their performances at the EMCS theatre as planned.

They have arranged to stage all three of their Jungle Book, the Musicad performances at the Ed Macgregor bandshell.

The performances take place on Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, June 21 at 7 p.m. and a Sunday, June 22, matinee at 2 p.m.

“Come and see this classic tale of Mowgli and his adventures on the way to the ‘ManVillage,’ meet Baloo the bear, Shere-Kahn, and see King Louie dance. Thirty children from the Sooke district have been working since January to put on a terrific show, with the traditional Disney classics and some new twists. Come sing and dance along with us! What a way to start the first official weekend of summer!” said Wilson. “It’s a magical, beautiful, natural surrounding. The kids are excited to be performing in the open air.”

There will be a professional sound system in place and piano, microphones, sound board will all be there.

The District of Sooke expedited the permit application to make this possible on such short notice.

And so far the long range forecast is sunny without rain.

Tickets for Jungle Book - the Musical are available at Stick in the Mud, Shoppers Drug Mart, East Sooke Country Store and at the venue.

Timeless stories fused with contagious melodies The Sooke Folk Music Society is holding its final Coffee House event of the season this Saturday, June 21. (Keep in mind we still have two concerts left.) For our final Coffee House we are very pleased and excited to be presenting

singer/songwriter and guitarist, Daniel Cook.

Cook comes by his musical bent quite naturally. He was taught at an early age by his mother and his older brother Jerry Cook, who has worked with such notable artists as Colin James and Jim Byrnes as well as playing in the Powder Blues Band. Daniel wound up becoming a teacher himself, after receiving his jazz studies degree from Capilano College.

He gave up teaching in the late 1990s, realizing his heart wasn’t in it. He has been a fulltime musician ever since.

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - SOOKE NEWS MIRROR Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - SOOKE NEWS MIRROR

Cook has been performing, writing, and recording with a multitude of original B.C. bands for over 20 years. His recent project, Washington & Cook, is a funkified urban jazz partnership with Maureen Washington. They can be seen performing regularly in and around Victoria.

The song Comfy Couches was nominated for Roots Song of the Year at the 2014 Vancouver Island Music Awards. And, the song Penny is a semi-finalist in the 2014 Island Songwriting Contest.

Because he so enjoyed mak-

ing his new solo album and is so pleased with the results, Daniel is planning to hit the studio again real soon.

“I’ve probably got three albums ready to go,” said Cook.

Please join us this Saturday, June 21 for a great evening of music with this inspiring artist. It all happens at Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Murrray Road. Doors open at 7 p.m. with open stage at 7:30 and our feature at 9. Hope to see you all there.

Ask The Sooke

Experts Questions and Answers from your local experts Plumb Perfect Plumbing Is there any maintenance I should be doing on my house, plumbing-wise, during the summer?

A

: During this time of the year when the sun is almost always shining and there is rarely rain, most of us tend to forget all about the frozen pipes and flooded basement of last winter.

The trouble is that while we are off at the beach or busy with life, the trees are putting out new roots to keep pace with the new growth that we see in the branches and foliage above. Since the soil is relatively dry, many of these roots are sourcing nutrients from the sewers and storm laterals. So, sometime between June and September, it is prudent to have Perfect Plumbing check your outside drains. There is nothing quite like experiencing a month of flood damage restoration, with noisy fans and pulled back carpets. We would like to see you avoid that!

What problems can be cause from poorly fitting dentures?

A

mouths can shrink, causing dentures to become loose. Bone can also shrink, causing jaws not to line up properly. Loose dentures can cause sore spots in your mouth as well as stomach problems from not being able to chew food properly. A loose denture could also cause changes in your facial features, making you look older than you should.

Trevor Bligh’s game jersey was just retired ... but will he?

Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

It’s a big deal when a jersey number is retired.

What it means is that no other player, now or ever, can have that retired number on their uniform. The honour of retiring a jersey number can be bestowed on a player with a highly memorable career.

We have one of those in our midst.

EMCS physical education teacher Ian McKenzie sent the Sooke News Mirror a notice that the school had retired Trevor Bligh’s basketball jersey and presented him with his old jersey from his playing days in a frame at the June 11 EMCS Awards Evening.

“The retirement of his jersey is not only the culmination of years of volunteering,” writes Ebony Logins, who has known Bligh for over 15 years now, “but it also symbolizes the effect that his contributions have on youth in sport.”

His legacy, Logins articulated, is his “passion for supporting youth through sport is driven by the sense of community that sport so modestly creates in a small town” Currently, many may know Bligh as the coach for the EMCS boys basketball team, the team that recently rose to heights greater than any ever achieved at EMCS. They were brought to

Below, Bligh with his retired jersey at the EMCS Awards Night held earlier this month. those heights in part by Bligh, whose great passion for the game kept him involved as a coach over the years.

His passion came from his own years at EMCS. In 1992 when he was in Grade 10, Bligh forfeited his final year of junior ball so that he could be a part of the senior boys’ basketball team in the AA Boy’s League.

In the winter of 1995 — that would be almost 19-and-a-half years ago — Bligh was approached to coach senior boys’ basketball team at EMCS. He was 18 years old.

Over the years, Bligh has clearly developed as a coach, learning by trial and error. For instance, he said he had a “very talented team” in 1997-1998. “We went to the Island’s AAs, but

if I had them now they would have gone to the provincials.”

“Looking back, I really didn’t know what I was doing,” he comments.

That has clearly changed. In February this year, Bligh and his senior boys’ basketball players reached new heights for EMCS, winning the City AAA Regular Season title for the first time ever.

His parents, who both coached Sooke fast pitch for 20 years, had a big influence on him.

“I was the dirty-faced kid running around the park,” he laughed, “chasing foul balls for freezies awarded on the return of the ball to the concession.”

Growing up on the ball field offered two great life’s lessons.

First, it gave him exposure to the rela-

tionship between coaches and players.

“I saw how the older kids looked up to their coach,” Bligh recalled, “the fun, friendship and respect that the players and coaches had.”

Second, it influenced his own coaching style.

“How I deal with my players came from my parents’ style. Firm, strict, but human and approachable.”

Bligh is also a big advocate of the life lessons that can be acquired by his players.

“My coaching philosophy is ‘team’,” he said.

“I believe that this program can teach you discipline, leadership, and how to get along with others.”

His contributions have not gone unnoticed by the parents of the basketball players either. “He is not

a paid teacher, [he’s] just a working stiff, a volunteer, inspiring a generation of new community coaches,” noted Glenn Dickie, father to Scott Dickie, a recent player with the Wolverines. “And on top of all the influence he makes to peers and players, he also wins.”

Bligh’s almost-20-years of experience coaching has been invaluable to the students he has impacted.

“Trevor is an amazing man who is so much more than a coach,” writes Gloria Yates, mother of three whose lives Bligh has impacted. “He is a mentor who is dedicated to helping these young men and women be the best they can be (not just on the court). He gives of himself everyday to be available to them and to help them succeed in whatever they take on.”

Logins concurs. “His pride, ambition, and excitement for the success of young people in sport has been passed on to many, including myself. I was incredibly fortunate to have four assistant coaches for my junior girls basketball team this year, three of whom played for Trevor. They are the next generation, and for me, working in youth and inter-generational engagement, this is so important to see.”

Coaching basketball has been a two-decade

long constant in his life.

Besides this, he also has a family and full-time work. This makes for an incredibly busy life.

“I choose occupations that allowed me to be free to coach,” he noted, commenting that his day job experience ranged from cooking and building kayaks to construction work and painting, which he currently does.

And his family is his anchor. “I love my son more than anything,” he says about his almostfive-year old son. “My wife Shannon is … the real reason I am still able to coach these past 4 to 5 years.”

The big question

Saving the best for last, there has been some speculation mulling about town that Bligh will be retiring

alongside his jersey.

Not so, he assures the Sooke News Mirror. “I am not calling it quits,” he said. “I have the best team I’ve ever had about to take the floor next November. I’d be crazy to (retire now).”

Ultimately, coaching has been extremely rewarding to both Bligh and the boys. His greatest source of pride is that he has “produced at least eight players who are better than I was,” he says, noting the additional rewards come from the relationships he build with colleagues and “even the refs.”

“I think I’ll be here till I’m 70,” he speculates.

“I’m sure there will be seasons where capable parents and/or assistants coaches will take a leading role if (they) wanted, but I’ll always be around.”

Atom Seahawk’s football finale ends with a loss, but has winning strong plays

Submitted photo

L.P. “Laser” Gagnon being carried by teammates because he is moving away. He will be missed!

What a playoff game we had, wrapping up with the Seahawk’s season finale game against Saanich.

On defence, Jared “heart of gold” Steele intercepted a Saanich pass, and the Atom Seahawks scored on the nest, two plays! Spencer Logan recovered a fumble caused by an amazing tackle, and Owen “lion-hearted”

Cheng took a hit from the the opposition’s biggest player, #91 — a player well-over a 100 pounds heavier than him. Then, Nick “fury” Heslop pancaked the big boy in an excellent display of good teamwork. L.P. “lazer” Gagnon ran 70 yards for a kick-return touchdown. Because of those blocks, Jared Steele wedged the ball in on

a quarter-back sneak on a three-yard run.

Centre extrordinaire Caleb “Creeper” Carrier assisted, making an inside shoulder block, and Jared snaked his way in for our second touchdown.

The third touchdown was the most spectacular of the season. With nine seconds left on the clock and one last play attempt, we tried a “Hail Mary” pass.

With no one open, Jared Steele made an awesome 45-yard run.

With numerous blocks and legs churning, Jared broke all tackle attempts and zigzagged his way to the team’s third touchdown. Lionhearted Cheng made three separate blocks on a successful handoff sweep by Steele.

Defence was awesome, with league-leading stingy aggressive plays. There were a number of great tackles — too many to count.

L.P. Gagnon stealing the ball (the only time we’re allowed to steal) and Jacob “juggernaut” Barney had quarterback sacks and knock-

down pass attempts.

All in all a great game.

The final score saw Saanich lead by only

two points, in a 24-22 game.

The team’s motto is “alignment-assignment-

apply the techniqueaggressively” and we did that!

Thanks for all the

great support, and see you all for fall football!

Southpaw Kurtis Horne goes pro

File photo

Kuris Horne has been drafted — and signed — by the Gulf Coast League, the minor league affiliate of the New York Mets. This may well be a first for Sooke.

Britt Santowski Sooke News Mirror

Earlier in June, Baseball BC (baseball.bc.ca) announced that four baseball players from the province were selected in the most recent Major League Baseball (MLB) draft.

Included in that number is Sooke’s own southpaw pitcher Kurtis Horne.

He was selected by the New York Mets in the 31 round (925 overall). There are up to 50

rounds. Horne was the 10th of 16 Canadians selected.

“It’s just an honour to be drafted,” said Horne, noting that the support from his team has been invaluable to helping him get this far.

His supporters include his coach Doug Mathieson, his pitching coach Mary Hall, his brother Kyle and his parents.

On the unlucky day of Friday the 13th, Kurtis actually got some additional great news.

“Kurt agreed on a

signing bonus and will be off to Point St. Lucie Florida to sign his contract and play pro ball for the New York Mets Gulf Coast League affiliate,” wrote his father, Rocky Horne. “The season starts next Friday night.”

That means that Kurtis will be a professionally paid ball player.

“Dream come true,” proudly reported Rocky. “Now the hard work continues (and begins).”

“I couldn’t have done

it without all of them,” Kurtis reflected.

Kurtis currently plays for Langley Blaze, a strategic move to increase his exposure and his experience.

“I’d say it worked really well for me,” he observed.

The MLB Draft is the primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges and other amateur baseball clubs to its team. Once a player is drafted, they can be signed up by the team that drafted them.

According to Wikipedia, “When a team selects a player, the team receives exclusive rights to sign that player to a contract, and no other team in the league may sign the player.”

Kurtis has been both drafted and signed.

Kurtis Horne graduated from EMCS at this year’s June 15 ceremony. He has been playing baseball since he was 12 years old, and it looks like he has many more years ahead of him.

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 - SOOKE NEWS MIRROR

Fishing remains consistent around Sooke Salmon, crab and halibut fishing in Sooke remains consistent with good catches being reported daily.

The larger spring salmon have been arriving in small schools and avid anglers have been finding them at the usual Sooke hotspots. Many of those looking for larger salmon have been fishing Sheringham Point wHere the larger wild springs are legal to keep. But I have heard many reports of boats releasing large wild springs, and boating big hatchery springs at Beechy Head, Trap Shack, and Otter Point. There are still plenty of smaller salmon within the slot limit being landed everywhere. These fish have been found in the deeper water lately, (120 to 200 ft.) It’s been great for action on slot limit salmon.

On Monday, June 9 the 2REEL2 crew caught and released a larger wild Coho salmon at Otter Point, and we did see another small hatchery Coho salmon at Sooke Harbour Resort and Marina later that day, first Coho of the season! Had some reports of other trollers picking up Coho outside the Harbour mouth on the June 7-8 weekend at 50/60 ft. on the downrigger. The salmon have been caught on anchovy, herring, spoons and hootchies trolled behind a variety of different flashers. We have been running silver 3.5” and 4” Coyote spoons, green/white/yellow hootchies, and a number of different coloured anchovy teaser heads with good success. Check the regulations before heading out fishing, but the salmon restrictions

are due to come off on June 13, allowing anglers to keep a larger wild spring salmon in Sooke waters.

Halibut fishing continues to be good in Sooke although the “dogfish” (spiny dogfish), small sharks, have arrived in our waters, and often take baits offered for halibut. They can be extremely difficult to get off the hooks if left to gobble the entire bait/hook setup into their throats. We try to bring them up quickly and get them unhooked before swallowing the whole bait. Keep in mind that regulations involving dogfish have changed, allowing fishers to only take one of these fish, meaning you should only extinguish one at the side of your boat. Many halibut fishers switch to using more artificial baits like hootchies, curly tails, grubs, and jigs, while the sharks are around and switch back to herring, octopus, squid, mackerel when the dogfish back off. This is usually when the tide starts to run. Either way it’s a good idea to take more bait.

Crab fishing in the harbour has been hit and miss, although pretty good overall, we have been averaging two or three crabs in a trip and more if dropping in the right place at the right time.

There are many great fishing derbies coming up including the V.I. Rangers Derby, the Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society Derby, and the Sooke Salmon Classic. Check your favorite tackle outlet for more details on fishing derbies and regulations in the Sooke area.

Good fishing, Ron Neitsch 2REEL2
