More than 45 firefighters responded to the scene of a house fire along Sooke Road. Fire departments from Langford, Otter Point, Shirley, Metchosin and East Sooke came to the aid of Sooke Fire and Rescue.

The fire closed Sooke Road just as rush hour was underway and some people waited from 4:30 until 10 p.m. in a extremely long line up that stretched all along Sooke Road in both directions.

Stranded motorists waited for hours on Sooke Road as fire fighters battled a blaze that destroyed a house at 5158 Sooke Road on Thursday, July 31.

Sooke Fire and Rescue responded to the call at around 4:38 p.m.

The fire was fought by more than 45 fire fighters from all of the area’s fire halls, plus a small crew from forestry.

“It was a couple of hours of pretty intense fire fighting,” said Sooke Fire Chief Steve Sorensen.

Smoke from the fire could be seen from East Sooke.

Sorensen said it wasn’t just the house that caught fire but also an RV, garage and car.

A boat on the property was slightly damaged.

On Friday he said they were at the scene trying to determine the cause.

What kept the road closed for so long were the spot fires which were being discovered as they fought the major blaze. Sorensen said four other spot

fires were started and one was pretty big at 3,000 to 4,000 feet on the hill behind the house fire. Fire fighters were successful in putting out a fire that was 30 feet from another house up the hill.

They returned around midnight to put out a stump fire.

There are no fire hydrants in that portion of Sooke Road and crews had to get water into the pumper trucks from a large storage tank at West Coast Tire and from a 10,000 litre storage tank the district has around the corner. Trucks also pumped water from the closest hydrant at Coopers Cove.

“It was a great job of cooperation and teamwork between everybody,” said Sorensen.

“It was tough to handle and the guys did a remarkable job.”

Sorensen said it was a lot of work when water had to be shuttled.

Sooke fire fighters left the scene at about 9:30 p.m.

He also gave kudos to the RCMP and Mainroad Contracting.

coming back into Sooke stretched to the end of the four-lanes. Single lane traffic was in effect at about 7:30 p.m. but it was slow going. Buses in and out of Sooke were stopped until clearance was given to proceed in either direction.

One rather frustrated Sooke resident said he waited five and a half hours in the lineup to get back to Sooke.

“I’m telling you this was unreal,” said Gordon Stewart. “They said it was one-way traffic and we counted 250 cars going to Victoria from Sooke. Our lane never moved.”

He said he understood propane tanks blew up but said they weren’t going to take out Sooke Road.

“It just doesn’t make sense,” he said in regard to the traffic control. He said it was time that the four lanes was completed all the way into Sooke.

“We’re not a bedroom community anymore. This is a wake up call,” he said in frustration. “It was a bit of a fiasco.

Borrie said he’s been doing it so long that it’s become pretty easy depending on how intricate a piece is. He will do the scroll work free hand, but lettering is a little more time consuming.

He uses an impact hammer to carve because he can carve a deep scroll in one cut as compared to doing it by hand where he would have to go over and over the cut.

Borrie prefers working with gold but silver is more affordable for people. On the wall above his work bench are photos of some of the more indicate and complex pieces he has done.

Borrie had three pieces accepted for the 2014 Sooke Fine Art Show and has entered every year for the past seven, and he’s won some awards in the process. This year he put in two gold rings with diamonds and

ucked away at the back of B&K Jewelry & Gifts, Brett Borrie meticulously carves scroll designs into a bracelet. His work bench is cluttered with the tools of his trade — silversmithing. His steady hand guides the impact hammer onto the piece of silver creating swirls, leaves, hummingbirds and all manner of intricate scrolls.

Borrie is a self taught hand engraver. He came by his profession from fashioning hand made and handcrafted bits, spurs and belt buckles for the horse trade. At first he just sculpted the pieces out of metal leaving the engraving to someone else, then when he needed a job he started engraving.

That was 15 years ago and he has been making his living at silversmithing ever since.

“People have always called me an artist,” said Borrie, “but to me, I’m just someone who makes things. I probably failed in art,” he joked. He didn’t really fail art class but it was not where he saw himself, even though other people now consider him an artist.

He designs his pieces from start to finish and includes scrolls, filigree, lettering, Celtic designs and whatever else he feels would fit with the piece. He often sets gemstones into the piece. Custom made wedding bands are also a favourite as people can help design their own rings.

“I like the gold jewelry I do,” he said. “Cuff bracelets are the biggest thing I do in jewelry.”

Home sought for Megan, Dyer’s pet Pamella Dyer’s dog needs an adoptive family Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

Cocker spaniels are a sensitive breed of dog and steadfastly loyal.

They don’t take well to change and six-year-old Megan is no exception.

She’s been through a lot.

Megan was Pamella Dyer’s dog and she was in the home at the time of Dyer’s death.

Dyer was found murdered in her home on July 20 and Megan was covered in her owner’s blood. Megan was Dyer’s second cocker

spaniel.

“Megan came in with medical needs and Pamella offered to foster her and fell in love with her and adopted her,” said Lisa Atterby, founder of Angels Under Our Wings, a non-profit cocker spaniel rescue organization.

Megan ended up in animal control after the death of her owner and the organization got a call from Kim, Dyer’s step-daughter.

“We picked up Megan and the parrot,” said Atterby. They are seeking a new home for Megan, as well as two other middle-aged dogs.

“It will take someone really patient and someone who is at home,” said Atterby. “Megan gravitates to females.”

Atterby said Megan

AUOW photo

Pamella Dyer is shown with her dog, Megan. is fearful of men as she has obviously been through a lot and has a bit of anxiety.

“Some dogs com-

pletely shut down, she didn’t,” she said.

Megan would be best suited for a retired person or a couple, some-

one who is patient and kind with her.

Cocker spaniels require special owners as they require more maintenance, such as grooming, and they have a strong prey drive. This means they try to flush out birds, rabbits, etc., as they were originally bred for flushing out woodcocks, thus their name.

They are a sporting dog and would suit a home with children over seven-years-ofage. They also need a fenced yard and should not be off leash because of their flushing instincts.

Other cocker spaniels in the care of AUOW include Salty, a four-year-old, who needs a dog savvy adoptive home where

the owners would work on gaining trust and socializing. He would not do well in a home with young children but would thrive in a home with another dog.

The other candidate is petite five-year-old Autumn, who has some vision limits and will need cataract surgery.

Angels Under Our Wings is seeking donations for all aspects of dog care, including veterinary costs, transportation and boarding bills for the dogs under their care.

For more information on donating, on the adoption process and AUOW itself, go to: www.anglesunderourwings.com or on Facebook. Lisa Atterby can be contacted at 250889-8880.

Marine search and rescue stands by to aid boater on rocks Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

Anchoring offshore in an area of heavy winds may not be the safest thing to do. One boater owner found out the hard way that the winds off the Strait of Juan de Fuca are strong willed and rather brisk.

On Wednesday evening, July 29, the owner of a pleasure craft attempted to move his boat when it started dragging anchor in the area of Sooke Bay. According to Jason van der Valk, Operations Assistant and Coxswain, of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, Station 37 Sooke, they were the first people to come out to assist.

“It got convoluted,” said Van Der Valk. “The owner got onto the vessel and he couldn’t start it or get it off the rocks.”

Search and Rescue

deemed it unsafe and stood by while a commercial assist (C-Tow) was contacted. It was an ebb tide and the water was dropping, hampered as well by heavy fog. They too saw it as unsafe but they put in a de-watering pump and were there until 1:30 a.m., said Van Der Valk. The way the boat was sitting on the rocks meant that trying to move it might result in more damage to the bottom.

“We did stand by and ensure no one was hurt,” said Van Der Valk.

Once the tide came back up, the boat was hauled to Park Isle Marine.

“There are quite a few holes on the bottom,” said Van Der Valk.

The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue is a volunteerbased operation on call to help in marinerelated situations. They are there 24/7, 365 days

TESTIMONIAL #39

Park Watch patroller Lavyna alexander gives Jamie Maquire, from Saanich, some helpful information at the Sooke Potholes.

Alexander has been a volunteer organizer with Park Watch for 14 years. Donations help keep Park Watch operational. Park Watch serves in the parks from Matheson Lake to Aylard Farm (East Sooke and Pike Road parking areas) Sooke Potholes, French Beach, China Beach and Botanical Beach in Port Renfrew.

The JDF Regional Park Watch Society is a local, registered non-profit society with charitable status which operates the annual Park Watch program in the region from May to September. The prime focus is to prevent theft from vehicles, break-ins and vandalism. Patrollers also provide information on keeping yourself and your vehicle safe while enjoying the spectacular scenery and the parks.

Since its inception in 2001, there have been no reports of vehicle break-ins or vandalism while Patrollers are on duty.

“Before 2000, 110 vehicles were broken into in two months at parks near Sooke,” said Alexander.

“We’ve drawn attention to it publicly, in the press,” said Martin.

“But there’s been no response.”

Sooke Mayor Janet Evans recently received a letter from Murray Coell, Minister of Community, Aboriginal and Women’s Services, indicating a vote would take place, agreeing to recommendations and announcing the approval of a $37,654 grant to assist in the boundary restructure process.

Fuca/Sooke Boundary Restructuring Steering Committee, the district is administering the grants used to fund the process.

Coell’s missive states he accepts the committee’s recommendation to have Sooke and the outlying areas vote separately. He also agrees to East Sooke and the western areas — Otter Point, Shirley and Jordan River — tally their votes separately.

The letter stopped short of stating in black and white that a vote would occur.

August 4, 1999 64 lbs at Sunny Shores!

John Hardy said this is by far the biggest fish he’s ever caught.

Hardy is visiting Sooke for the second straight summer from his home in Seattle, Washington, where he lives quietly after retiring from the U.S. Navy.

He caught the

salmon while on Duff Johnston’s Saseenos Charters at 6:30 a.m.

Friday morning, at the trap shack just east of Secretary Island and West of Beechy Head.

“It was a team effort,” Hardy said. “We had to chase it in. It ran out most of the line. I wouldn’t have caught it without Duff. I’m pretty excited about that one.”

The four-foot-long Chinook Salmon is the biggest one to come into Sunny Shores Marina since 1988, when a 66.4 pound salmon was caught.

August 3, 1994 Firefighters fight car blaze The Sooke volunteer fire department was called to the scene of a suspicious fire at the Saseenos Shell station on Sooke Road early Friday morning.

Fire chief Ric Raynor said a burning car

spread to the another, which threatened to speed to the building, before firefighters extinguished the blaze at 1:30 a.m.

August 2, 1989 Strike cuts numbers of fishboats The current fishermen’s strike has had a dramatic affect on the number of boats fishing the Strait of Juan de Fuca Fishery, says Larry Duke, district supervisor for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Mr. Duke told the Mirror that 33 seine boats were operating in the Port Renfrew area Tuesday morning under the current salmon opening, whereas there would be about 150 if there was no strike.

Mr. Duke said he does not anticipate that the commercial opening would be extended because of the strike.

Looking back August 5, 2009 MP miffed at mute ministry An alleged arson which consumed more of the MV Florence Filberg on July 3 was the latest development in the history of the onceuseful tugboat.

The Filberg had created a local issue when it ran aground in Sooke Harbour near the East Sooke shore in 2007.

Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Dr. Keith Martin has since taken exception with the Minister of Fisheries, Gail Shea, for a lack of action in dealing with the tug’s remains, and what he calls a lack of communication on the matter.

Dr. Martin said he’s been frustrated for some time by federal government inaction in dealing with abandoned vessels.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Amalgamation question not on Sooke’s ballot Pirjo Raits

Sooke News Mirror

On July 29, the Capital Region Municipal Amalgamation Society (Amalgamation Yes) released the results of an online poll done in the Greater Victoria area. The results were overwhelmingly clear.

Residents of the Capital District are largely in favour of amalgamation.

Sooke, doesn’t fit the mold and there does not seem too much of an appetite for amalgamation.

“Sooke is geographically too far separated,” said Sooke Mayor Wendal Milne. “We don’t intend to put it on the ballot.”

Milne said there was some discussion in council about putting the issue of amalgamation on the ballot for the November election, but with one question already being asked of Sooke residents, it would be confusing to put on another. Sooke residents will be asked to give the district authority for long term borrowing of $1.5 million for a community public space.

In the poll, 83 per cent of the Sooke residents polled stated that having the CRD organization with its staff and board members is just too much expensive

government and 92 per cent of respondents stated the status quo is working, we should leave well enough alone.

In Sooke 92 per cent of the respondents supported holding a nonbinding referendum.

Sooke residents stated in the poll that their most important issues in the Capital Regional District was transportation (58 per cent), sewage/waste water management (42 per cent) and cooperation between municipalities (42 per cent).

Sooke residents polled felt that amalgamation might mean the larger municipalities would dictate to the smaller ones.

In 2013 an amalgamation survey was conducted in the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area and of those polled 50 per cent were satisfied with the present model of governance. The least favored options were amalgamating with Colwood, Metchosin and Sooke and the most favored governance options were to create a separate electoral area west of Sooke encompassing Otter Point, Shirley, Jordan River, Port Renfrew and the Rural Resource lands.

The 2014 poll was carried out by Angus Reid Global in order to provide greater insight into

The society hopes that with such a clear indication of public support, the mayors and councils of the 13 municipalities will follow the will of the people and place a non-binding referendum question on their respective ballots in the coming November elections.

In the 13 communities that comprise the capital region, 441 adults were surveyed online between July 16 – 17, 2014.

what residents of the Greater Victoria area felt about the governance structure of the Capital District and how they felt about amalgamation in general.

Every municipality was sampled and a strong majority in every district supported the idea of amalgamation, and highly supported having a non-binding referendum question on amalgamation on their ballots in the upcoming November election.

“What this poll demonstrates is that the people of Greater Victoria are ready to begin seriously considering amalgamation. This is what they want today,” said Susan Jones, Chair of the society. “A strong majority felt that amalgamation would improve the quality and

Amalgamation won’t suit Sooke A recent poll taken on amalgamation seemed to indicate that people in the Greater Victoria area were in favour of putting the issue of amalgamation on the November ballot.

People in Sooke don’t want more government, in fact they want less. A large portion of those canvassed said they thought the CRD organization was too expensive. A lot of them said to leave well enough alone.

Amalgamation for Sooke is not a good idea. We are too far removed to benefit from any of the decisions made by an unwieldy and cumbersome bureaucracy. A big corporation, that’s what it would be, would have a hard time understanding the distinct and unique needs of Sooke.

Amalgamating the core municipalities in the Greater Victoria region makes more sense than dragging Sooke kicking and screaming into it. The issues in the inner core are vastly different than those in rural Sooke. We already have the CRD to contend with.

An amalgamation of the communities in the Westshore does make sense. Langford, Colwood, View Royal and the Highlands would make a good unified municipality. They are geographically connected and one has a hard time knowing which community they are in at the best of times. Each of them, with the exception of Langford, are small and one must ask, do they really each need mayors, councillors, fire departments and police? Of course everyone wants to hang onto their autonomy, but it can be seen as a huge drain on the taxpayers.

It shouldn’t be up to the elected officials and staff to make those decisions as they have their own best interests at heart. We are being governed to death nationally, provincially, regionally and locally.

Everyone wants to tell us what to do and how to do and then tax us for it. Just say ‘no.’

ANOTHER VIEW

Summertime and the drinking is easy B.C. Views The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it.

Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified.

Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties.

One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next.

(Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.)

Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it.

Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious.

Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days.

After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained, but since underaged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort.

It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come.

New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve.

As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their

craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry.

One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs.

The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption.

But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government overreacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only.

The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of kneejerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Poor bylaw decision Re: “Mayor irate over decision made in his absence.”

Wendal seems upset!

And, do you blame him?

What, was council thinking? Or, were they thinking? Did they make a mistake? You be the judge.

A definition of “Mayor” is, “The head of government of a city, town, or municipal corporation.” I personally would add to that “a leader.” I have great respect for our Mayor Milne and wonder what happened. Should we (the people) of Sooke be suspicious?

On July 14, the third reading of Bylaw 596 and 597 passed with the mayor and Councillor Reay opposed and with Maja Tait (absent) but expressed her opposition prior. Then on July 21 before the final step, the adoption of the bylaw, it was rescinded due to an error on other properties, so a revised first and second reading was brought forward with the same (for and against) result. And it now it goes for a public hearing in September. So, it’s not a Bylaw ... yet? On July 24, a Special Council Meeting was held where the mayor said he was using his authority to bring this back for reconsideration.

Earlier, in Mayor Milne’s absence, a decision was made to allow a waste management transfer station on Idlemore without bylaw, permits and/or zon-

ing. What, are you kidding me? Could it have waited until the mayor returned? If so, the question is ... why wasn’t it?

Could this have an affect on the November 15 election? I think it might.

I’m not saying I’m in favour or against the outcome. But, I do agree with the mayor’s statement, “that elected officials only have one or two things in life and that’s integrity and the perception of honesty” adding in summary “being up front with people.”

I’m sure that’s exactly what Sooke residents want. That’s what they hope for, when they vote. I wish Wendal would reconsider his decision of not to seek re-election in the upcoming election. He has been good for all the people and the businesses of Sooke and still could be.

Many years ago, my father told me that I should give every person, I meet and come in contact with, my respect without question. But, he added ... if they lose that respect, it’s up to them to earn it back. Some have had enough chances. If it doesn’t serve any practical purpose, it serves no purpose.

I hope there’s some new honest faces coming forward for council in the next election. It has sparked my interest.

I think the article on the Idlemore waste transfer station needs to be revisited by the Sooke News Mirror.

The waste transfer station is not operating legally as the rezoning has not been adopted and goes back to public meeting in September.

Feeling unsafe I am the fifth generation of one of Sooke’s first families. Kitty and Aaron White-Woodfruff were my great, great, great grandparents and great grandparents.

I’ve lived all of my 65 years in Sooke, from my early childhood to my seniorhood. I know that sad, vicious events happen behind closed doors, but rarely outside.

As a child playing in the woods making fern plates and having a meal of imagery food, riding our bikes through Saseenos we felt safe. I grew up having doors unlocked, having possessions in the yard all day and night and taking walks on streets day and night.

I have watched the many changes in Sooke, some I liked and many I did not, but I still felt safe.

After the last week, with the murder of a lovely woman, with a beautiful smile, and the rumors of cars of men trying to lure young women into their cars, things have changed.

Sooke is still a beauty, spiritual place to live and love, but I don’t feel safe for the first time in my life. I am sad, very sad.

Waste of police time Monday evening, a Sooke RCMP constable knocked on my door.

He asked me if I drive a (he described my car), and was I in the area of Logan Lane about half an hour before. I said yes.

He said they received a report of a man wiping clean a big knife and disposing the wiper in a litter bin, and the man had some sort of metal detector with him.

I told him what I was doing there. I’m a metal detectorist, it’s my hobby and I clean my gear when I’m done hunting. I showed him my detecting gear and the garden trowel I was seen cleaning by an apparently easily excitable Sooke resident walking down Murray Road. It’s a garden trowel, not a knife. Big difference. The constable left satisfied.

“Kodah” Sooke

Whoever it was obviously got my license plate number. They watched me clean my digger. Why couldn’t they have watched me when I was picking up surface litter and bringing it to the litter bin, or saw me 10 times before in the same place, doing the same things?

Most passers by in that area are great friendly, interested, and they approve of my personal policy of cleaning up and leaving things better than before I came. I go there to simply to look for coins or rings, etc. lost in the grass over the years.

The residents of Murray Road and the streets below it are great people. Even the teens are polite and friendly ... but someone walked by who wasn’t all that friendly. Not all that smart either.

My apologies first to the Sooke RCMP, you have better things to do. Secondly, my apologies to the caller ... your anticipated drama scene never came to fruition.

I’m still questioning the grant of $4,300 given to them to build a shed to house the cats they have rescued.

Feral cats do not want to be housed.

They were born in this area and live quite comfortably outside in our mild winters dressed in their fur coats. They are quite capable of feeding themselves and their kittens - nothing like a big, fat juicy rat.

I wouldn’t have objected if the $4,300 grant was to help the pet owners in Sooke to feed their pets, to buy medication for them or to pay part of their owner’s vet bills.

I wish this charity and its members well in whatever decision

Do you feel a need to serve your community in some way?

Are you reasonably fit and like adrenalin rushes other than from extreme sports?

Are you new to the region and would like to meet high energy men and women who love the challenge and/or want to serve in a meaningful way in their community?

Check out the fire department. Here is an opportunity for you to perhaps live out your childhood dream, to drive a fire truck and run the siren, or rise to the challenge of a raging fire or to rescue some unfortunate in distress. This is not

for the faint hearted.

There is an unmanaged time schedule and it may fall into a birthday party, or anniversary or night out, so be prepared.

We appreciate the men and women who volunteer their time in the community, who are well trained to rise to the diverse needs in the community. There are likely more road incidents than fires and with proper education fires will hopefully be kept to a bare minimum, especially with the extremely dry conditions we are under. I would hope that there would be greater education re: alcohol and driving and texting and driving as well.

Many accidents can be prevented. There are many reasons to commit your time for the fire department and if you have a more flexible schedule and/or are a contractor or are self-employed in the area, contact the fire department to see if you can be of service.

You are appreciated, all of the fire department, for your efforts.

Ellen Lewers Sooke

they make. I hope that they understand that they create their own reality, they don’t have to be victims.

Good luck and God bless you and all the little critters you help.

The Water Pipeline Exhibit opens at Charters

Some of the celebratory goodies at the opening of the Water Pipeline Exhibit.

The exhibit runs from August 1 to September 28.

Pirjo Raits photos

SOOKE COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL

The exhibit, at the Charters River Salmon Interpretive Centre, opened with a ribbon cutting on Thursday, July 31. Ray Vowles is on the left, Mayor Wendal Milne on the right.

The much anticipated Water Pipeline Exhibit opened to the public on August 1. Many of the invited guests were unable to attend due to the closure of Sooke Road due to a fire. In his opening remarks, Ray Vowles, president of the Juan de Fuca Salmon Restoration Society said, “When we turn on the tap we don’t think of where the water comes from. Good clean water is one of our precious resources.”

Mayor Wendal Milne stated, water is something we take for granted. What is so interesting is that 100 years ago the City of Victoria needed a reliable, long term source of water which they found at Sooke Lake. In 1911 they built a gravity flow system through lots of hills and valleys. “Now they can’t even get a sewer system in Victoria. It was an amazing feat,” he said. “There was blood, sweat and I’ll bet a lot of tears.”

Hot dogs and plans

for adults includes full access to the gardens too!

Under clear blue sunny skies, RBC gave away free hotdogs, drinks, cookies and chips to anyone who cared to drop by.

The event was in appreciation of the support and loyalty of their clientele and the community that supported them. It was held exactly one year after the fire that devastated their location at 6660 Sooke Road—August 31. Building plans have been drafted, with construction to begin sometime in the late summer.

Investing can seem complicated.

Our advice isn’t.

Meet Christina Brown, our Financial Planning Pro who’s recently joined the Coast Capital Savings Sooke Branch.

As a Personal Financial Planner, Christina has helped customers meet their financial goals for over 15 years. And, like our entire team, she does it all with an approach that’s simple and easy to understand, so you know exactly how you can achieve your financial goals.

Whether you’re planning your retirement, your child’s education, or looking for ways to protect your family or business from the unexpected, Christina and our team can help with all your financial needs. Call or visit Christina at our Sooke branch, she’d love to help.

BC Summer Games brings home a bronze in lacrosse A parent’s perspective

I recently had the honour of watching three of our Sooke boys participate in the BC Summer games, in the Lacrosse competition, a couple of weeks ago.

Right from the opening ceremonies there was a feel of almost an Olympic style event. The athletes marched in pro-

ceeded by a contingent from the military cadets and the RCMP. The Zones were announced with much fanfare and excitement. Zone 6 Vancouver Island - Central Coast Field Lacrosse team, was given the honour of the last contingent in, and they looked sharp in their

zone colours.

In the days that followed, we started playing against the other Zones’ lacrosse teams.

The boys played a total of three games in their march to the medal game.

One of our boys, Dallas Brooks, played on the Vancouver Island

– Central Coast Team Two. This team showed well, but were unable to make it to the medal rounds. Teagan Knoles and Jack Kendal both played on the Vancouver Island – Central Coast Team One. Their team made it through to the Bronze medal game and were successful in winning the Bronze medal game.

The team rallied, scoring four goals in the last three minutes to overcome a three goal deficit and win the medal.

The BC Summer Games ended with a parade of athletes in the closing ceremonies.

Many smiles were evident from the athletes who sported medals whether it be gold, silver or bronze. All athletes showed pride on their faces enjoying an experience that they will never forget.

New website provides free training to identify, treat and prevent concussions in young athletes Concussion Awareness Training Tool for Parents, Players, and Coaches now available at Cattonline.com Parents and coaches can now access the latest evidence-based information on concussion diagnosis and care thanks to a new, free online resource: the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) for Parents, Players, and Coaches.

Based on the latest research and bestpractice recommendations, this toolkit was developed by researchers with the BC Injury Research and Prevention Unit at the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI) at BC Children’s Hospital and the University of British Columbia (UBC).

Parents and coaches

who are educated about how to recognize and treat concussions are better equipped to seek medical attention for children when

second-impact syndrome, a condition that occurs if a person suffers a second concussions before symptoms from the first have sub-

sided. Second-impact syndrome is extremely dangerous and almost always results permanent, disabling brain injury or death.

We’ve extended the savings.

Website resources include: • A brief training course on how to identify and respond effectively to concussions, manage the longterm impacts, and take steps to make sports safer for young athletes.

• Smartphone-accessible forms and tools to help parents and coaches track symptoms, decide how to respond to an injury, and record information for medical professionals.

• Short, five-minute videos for children and teens with stories of young athletes who have had concussions and advice about safe play in contact sports like hockey, football and rugby.

A concussion is a brain injury that can be caused by a direct blow to the head or indirect hit to another part of the body. The impact of these hits causes the brain to suddenly shift or shake inside the skull, damaging nerve fibers and leaving brain cells vulnerable to further injury.

Compared to adults, children are more vulnerable to concussions because their brains are still developing, their heads are bigger relative to their body size, and their necks are weaker. Concussions can be painful and debilitating and can include symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and confusion. Symptoms may appear immedi-

necessary and to participate actively in their care. When properly recognized and treated, the majority of concussions resolve

A happy Eugene Kancair from Gibsons is shown with his 35-pound spring salmon.

Salmon fishing continues to one of the pleasures that brings people to Sooke.

The waters along the Strait of Juan de Fuca and beyond provide fishers with many opportunities to catch the “big ones.”
