Tai Caverhill is being remembered as a hero following a tragic accident last week that took his life and left another student in hospital in critical condition while on a school field trip to Camp Barnard west of Sooke. Emergency personnel were called to the area of the Jack Brooks Hatchery at 3:26 p.m. Wednesday after receiving a report a 13-year-old boy was trapped under a fallen tree. He was unconscious and not breathing, officials said. Life-saving measures were performed on the teen by camp personnel and first responders, but the Lansdowne middle school student did not survive his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. A second boy who was hurt has been released from hospital. Caverhill was the first to spot the tree falling towards where he and his friends were walking, quickly alerting the group to run away. “Sadly, he saved his friend’s lives but couldn’t save his own,” reads a GoFundMe description set up by the Thai Kids Club of Victoria – where he was one of the first students – to help assist the family in their time of need. Caverhill would have started Grade 9 at Oak Bay secondary school in September. His last word’s to his mother before he left for the Year End Wilderness Camp were “take care of Lanna and Daddy for me,” according to the GoFundMe page. Continued on A12

Building permit backlog reduced Tim Collins Sooke News Mirror
In March, when a group of disgruntled land developers descended on Sooke council to vent their frustration over what they described as a broken system of getting building permits, they got little disagreement from Mayor Maja Tait. “The whole process is a mess,” said Tait at the time. The mayor said the problem developed over time, and together with acting chief administration officer Don Schaffer, she promised the system would be repaired and improved. Her big promise? Permits would see a turnaround in 10 days, as opposed to the current six months. That goal has been met, said Raechel Gray, the district’s deputy director of financial and corporate services “We were able to get caught up through teamwork,” Gray said.
Builders are still uncertain of whether changes at the municipal hall will shorten building permit waits. “Staff recognized the problem had gotten to an unacceptable level, worked together to streamline the review process, prioritized the work and ensured the applications we received were complete which allowed for a faster review.” The question of complete applications is a sticking point for at least one developer. Herb Haldane, who was instrumental in organizing the March meeting with the mayor, maintains part of the way municipal staff have
Travel Vaccination
When traveling out of country it’s important to make sure you and your family are protected against unwanted illness and disease. At Pharmasave in Sooke, we offer travel consultations and can communicate with your physician for travel related prescription needs. We also provide travel vaccinations services right at the pharmacy for 6 years and older. Give us a call or stop in for vaccine availability.
cleared their backlog has been to shift the onus for work back to the developers. “Now I have to go and find every single covenant attached to the subdivision (I’m working on) and make certain that they are included in the application. Every subdivision has covenants, and they have a record of those, but now I have to get someone to do it,” Haldane said. “If they make it more onerous the chances of having a complete application go down and then any delay is my
fault.” Jeff Steele, of Stellar Homes, said there is a requirement to search out covenants affecting his applications, but said he has always done it that way and didn’t see it as an unusual situation. “I can’t comment on how long it’s taking now. The last permit I took out took me more than three months, but that was before they committed to speeding things up. I applied for one today so I guess I’ll see in a couple of weeks how they’re doing,” Steele
said. The same waitand-see attitude was on display when local developer Paul Clarkson was asked for his opinion of the success of the changes. “I’ve yet to test the system, so I can’t say whether they’ve sharpened their pencils or not. Let’s hope so, but I’ll have to wait and see it with my own eyes.”
Gray said that part of the problem in processing permits was related to an influx of applications last December, before the B.C. Building Code changed. “After the December influx of permits new permit applications have slowed down a bit which helped the staff catch up on the backlog,” she said. Gray added that they are looking forward to the arrival of a new chief building official, who arrives in August and who “will provide valuable knowledge and experience and will help us further improve our permitting process.” The number of permits received and issued from December to May are similar to prior years (average 160 permits issued/year) however the issues with our previous permit review process were compounded this year due to the fact that we had an influx of applications in December, 2018 before the BC Building Code changed which caused the backlog to grow to an unacceptable level.

What we have here is the legacy of mismanagement and failure of oversight.” He said that real solutions depend on doing things in a positive way so that industry comes to the table and puts all the tools that they have sometimes used to fight environmentalists to use doing something positive.
He credited Teck, one of the largest mining companies in the world for taking on a lead role as a legacy operator of the mine in the region. He said that the company didn’t have to step up, but did and that it was emblematic of the sort of responsible action that’s necessary to allow Jordan River to recover. “To this point, we
haven’t actually had a lot of support from the government, but we have a great group of volunteers in this community, and we’re not going to give up.” Jackaman’s hope is that he will see the return of the salmon to Jordan River and that the natural world in which he now makes his home is returned to a truly pristine environment.

He also credited the work of the Harbourside Lions, the Sooke Rotary Club and the Lionesses for making the day possible. On the main stage, the day will
feature a magic show with Donald Dunphy, and music by the Chick Wagon Band, The Country Line, and finishing off with headliners, Knacker’s Yard. Festivities will all take place at the Flats (Sooke River Campsite), and will officially start when the gates open at 11 a.m., just in time for a parade on the festival grounds at 11:30. Folks will be able to sample their food from a variety of food trucks and, of course, families are invited to bring their own picnic lunches. The picnic area will also feature music bingo for the family, and a karaoke stage for the budding talents in the community. Wright emphasized a few rules organizers have set to ensure that

The Rotary Club also participates in numerous international projects to promote literacy. “We’ve given to projects in Guatemala where we are involved in teaching financial literacy, helped fund a girls’ school in Malawi and a school food garden in Honduras,” said Lister.

No pets (except certified guide dogs) will be allowed and smoking, vaping, and alcohol are prohibited. “We invite people to come with their blankets and lawn chairs and make a day of it. It’s a chance to meet your neighbours and for the whole community to join in a safe, fun, family-themed day of celebration,” Wright said. The day will end with a traditional fireworks display. • Port Renfrew is hosting its own Carnival 2019 to celebrate Canada Day, starting at 10:30 a.m. Some of the event’s attractions will include a kids’ fishing derby, a parade, dancers from the Pacheedaht First Nation carnival games at Beach Camp and fireworks.

Complaint resolution
There’s a lot to celebrate Across Canada, this coming weekend will spawn a host of celebrations as Canadians don their red and white clothing, grab their lawn chairs and coolers, and make their way to any one of thousands of community celebrations. And we’ve got a lot to celebrate. Our politics–as much as they are sometimes raucous and even rocked by scandal– are positively sedate when compared to the rest of the world, notably our neighbours to the south. Our leaders can and often do read. And we welcome the world when they arrive on our doorstep. That last characteristic gives us a pretty amazing range of customs, food and fun. We have universal health care, eat Smarties and drink bloody Ceasars. We produce talented actors, comedians and hockey players, and consume about 25 percent of the world’s Kraft dinner. And don’t be fooled by our toothsome national symbol. Beavers are tough. They’ve even taken down large birds of prey who foolishly attack them or their young for a tasty snack. (Hmmm…there’s a cautionary metaphor there somewhere.) But all kidding aside, Canada is a pretty great place to live and Sooke is doubtlessly one of Canada’s best communities…at least we think so. One need only take a look around to confirm that we live in the heart of a beautiful country. We can step out the door and see the sparkling ocean wash unspoiled shores or watch the fog roll down mountain slopes into ancient forests. But arguably it’s the people that make Canada great and, again, that’s on full display in Sooke. Our community has artists and authors, athletes and performers, and stewards of nature who reflect the heartbeat of the community. And oh sure, we sometimes fight like seagulls (or angry beavers) over the minutia of life, although we probably feel bad about it afterward. But when someone is in trouble or when tragedy strikes the community we come together to help those who are most in need. We offer support, encouragement and love. So we encourage everyone to join their neighbours at Sooke’s Canada Day celebration. There’s a lot to celebrate and, even if some of the world sees us as those funny people who apologize for everything and say ‘eh’ a lot, we know better. And, of course, any excuse for fireworks, eh?

Readers’ letters / email: editor@sookenewsmirror.com New library’s tale is revealing
Re: Library project trimmed to meet budget. In January 2016 I wrote a letter to the Sooke News Mirror, wondering if construction of a new library would begin, as reported, in 2018. Ha. The joke was on me and the hundreds of other library users. Who knows when a new library will ever open. In March 2017, after more than seven years of discussion, the library was scheduled to be finished by December 2018 at the Wadams Way site. Unbelievably, a June 11, 2019 press release from the Vancouver Island Regional Library revealed more delays, with tender documents for the project still not finalized. If this was a private sector project, heads would roll. But given it’s taxpayer-funded and overseen by elected officials who can’t be fired, efficiency, expediency and financial pru-
dence aren’t factors. While a library may not be quite as crucial to the community as a health facility, the sad tale of the Sooke library’s creation is revealing. Shannon Moneo Sooke

Not everything is climate change I suggest that legitimate pollution and environmental concerns and causes do themselves no favours by also always tacking the “climate change” moniker into the equation? Saving old-growth forests on Vancouver Island is indeed a noble cause, and plastic pollution of our oceans is an obvious concern. Dragging climate change into this battle does not aid the cleanup process. Andy Neimers Sooke

Council meetings move to YouTube
READER’S LENS

Sooke district council has an alternative for folks who care about what’s happening in the community and have had enough of binge-watching old television series or movies. Starting June 24, the district will make streaming videos of council meetings available on the YouTube channel. Now, from the comfort of your
home, you’ll be able to pop a soda, make some buttered popcorn and sit back to watch discussions of zoning amendments, bylaw considerations, and a host of other issues and concerns to the community. The district has live streamed all Council proceedings since 2016, but the use of the YouTube streaming service will make that process more streamlined and effi-
cient. YouTube is the No. 1 live streaming video platform worldwide and brings an improved user experience for viewers. The interface is intuitive and familiar to many, videos will be of higher quality, and additional functionality such as closed captioning and improved analytic abilities are all benefits of the move to YouTube.
Firefighters douse wildfire near residential structures Firefighters responded to a wildfire that burned an area about 100x150 metres at the north end of Henlyn Drive on Wednesday afternoon. Sooke Fire Rescue responded to the fire at around 2 p.m. and was joined by the Otter Point and Metchosin fire departments. “The fire was most likely hu-
man-caused,” said Sooke Fire Rescue Chief Kenn Mount. “There’s a trail that runs through the area and if I had to guess I would say that it was probably someone being careless with a cigarette. That’s a big problem in Sooke as it is elsewhere.” Mount said the problem is not
unique to Sooke as last week Langford fire responded to six grass fires. Five were caused by careless smokers. “The wind was certainly a factor yesterday (June 19), making things a lot more difficult to control the fire. We had microbursts of wind that was gusting up to 100 km/h,” Mount said.
“We were actually lucky that it wasn’t hotter. That could have made it far worse.” The house near the property was out of danger after firefighters put a wet guard down. Mount reminded residents that open burning of any type is prohibited within Sooke from June 1 to Sept. 30.

Caverhill has recently started working at the Little Thai Place restaurant to earn extra income. “Tai wanted to take responsibility for his own expenses as he knew that his parents had continuing medical bills and treatment for Lanna,” reads the page. To honor his ‘kind heart’ half of the donations raised will go towards the Tuberous Sclerosis Canada to help support children who have gone through similar health issues as his sister. An update was posted on Sunday stating that Caverhill’s moth-
er, Boom, will be closing down her daycare business indefinitely adding another layer of financial struggles to the family. With the original goal of $10,000, the GoFundMe has currently raised $24,441 in two days. The B.C. Coroners Service has released few details of the incident. “By all accounts of what we’re hearing is it’s an accidental death,” said Andy Watson, a spokesman for the B.C. Coroners Service. Camp Barnard is a 100-hectare property which offers wilderness opportunities for youth and adult groups. It’s located six kilometres west of Sooke.

Vaping a growing problem in school district Vancouver Island’s chief medical officer raises the alarm as more kids take up the vaping habit Tim Collins Sooke News Mirror
“I can quit anytime I want.” Dr. Richard Stanwick, the chief medical officer for Island Health, says if that refrain sounds familiar, it should. It’s one of the many rationalizations that smokers once trotted out as they diminished the impact of smoking in their lives. These days it’s being used by young people who have taken to vaping in near epidemic proportions. “They have changed the composition of the liquid cartridges so that it mimics the fast hit (of nicotine) that you used to get from a cigarette,” Stanwick says. “Combine that with the fact that they’ve created candy and fruit flavours and made the devices far more cool looking so that they look a lot like a USB stick, decorated with all kinds of designs, and they are obviously targeting young people.” It’s one of the reasons the Sooke school district held a panel discussion in early May to address what educators described as an epidemic of vaping among the community’s teens. “This has emerged very quickly, and as much as we don’t want to have a kneejerk reaction, we must acknowledge we are seeing a lot more of it in our high schools and even at the middle school levels,” says Dave Strange, the district’s associate superintendent. “We’re actively engaged to develop a strategy and the educational materi-
Juul introduced a delivery system that uses benzoic acid and nicotine slat technology to deliver higher concentrations of nicotine than the traditional e-cigarettes. Another part of the study suggested the delivery systems increase the potential for nicotine addiction and the move to smoking cigarettes. The study also showed, between 2017 and 2018, a 45 percent increase in cigarette smoking, after years of decline prior to the introduction of new vaping technologies. Stanwick said the medical community Vaping by teens has spiked by 74 per cent and has been accompanied by increased cigarette smoking among youth in Canada. It’s raising concerns in the medical commu- and schools must become more vocal nity and cwritics claim that the products are targetting children and using the same tactics that were once applied to cigarettes.

Stanwick says many of the marketing strategies used to promote cigarettes are now being applied to vaping, particularly to children. “That’s no accident.

Greater Victoria firefighters donate to pediatric unit at VGH Donation a part of a larger 10-year pledge to donate $250,000 Firefighters of Greater Victoria gathered alongside doctors, nurses and hospital staff at the Victoria General Hospital last week to present a cheque for $25,000 to the Victoria Hospital Foundation. This donation is part of a larger, 10-
year pledge, to donate $250,000 made by firefighters in 2011 to fund various leading-edge equipment for the VGH pediatric unit. This year’s donation will go toward purchasing 40 new monitors that allow doctors and nurses to get real time data
and information on a patient’s vitals in order to make important clinical decisions. “[The monitors are] an incredibly important piece of equipment for us to keep the sickest children on the Island with their families and in their home
communities,” said Gillian Kozinka, manager of perinatal and neonatal ICU. The monitors are used in 100 per cent of cases in the NICU and the PICU. According to VGH, more than 3,000 babies are born and 2,000 pediatric patients are
The Pastor's Pen There’s a real temptation in ministry for me to simply wait in the Church for pastoral encounters to come my way and thereby fail to get out into the community. There is certainly a place for consistent availability to my flock and plenty of important administrative and planning work to do behind this computer monitor. However, remaining in the office lends itself to the humorous barb that we clergy are “one day incomprehensible and six days invisible”. But Jesus certainly sets the example of moving beyond the synagogue in order to feed, heal, teach, miraculously liberate, and encounter people in their everyday lives. The salvation offered by Christ is simply not relegated to the safe confines of the great indoors. Pope Francis likes to say we priests ought to get out amongst the flock and start to ‘smell like the sheep’.
cared for every year at the hospital with one in six newborns spending time in the NICU and one in eight children in the PICU. The money donated by the firefighters is raised through various events such as the Sausage Fest in Oak Bay, Ribfest in Esquimalt, Fashion Inferno in Victoria and the Rock n’ Roll for Little Souls in Saanich. “In addition, every member does payroll deductions to the charitable foundation as well,” said Brian Swanson, a Saanich firefighter. Including last week’s donation, firefighters in Greater Victoria have raised and donated

$225,000 in total. This year’s funds contribute to the Victoria Hospital Foundation’s latest campaign — You Are Vital: Pediatrics — which aims to raise $1.8 million this spring to fund life-saving neonatal and pediatric care at
VGH. “It’s important because this is our home city, this is where our children would go if they were in need and it’s good to have a place where they can actually get treatment here in Victoria rather than having to go
across to Vancouver or up Island,” said Swanson. Previous gifts from the firefighter pledge have supported critical equipment for the PICU and the NICU such as an infant resuscitation unit and a specialized pediatric ventilator.
So I was recently blessed in talking to a couple of older community members on the streets of Sooke who recounted a long gone, but not forgotten Catholic priest; Fr. Willard O’Brian. It was a good news story and heart warming as they fondly recalled that he offered good fatherly care in the midst of their fatherlessness. It may not have meant much to them, but it meant a lot to me to sincerely express my sense that they were still part of our Church family in spite of long absence from our worshipping community. As many of my University/College friends confide, they need a sense of spiritual family in which God is a good and loving father just as the Church is a kind and welcoming mother. May it be so for those of us blessed with faith, and perhaps more importantly for those who don’t yet know this unconditional love!

The Sooke library is booked solid this summer. Registration opened June 18 for the annual Vancouver Island Regional Library Summer Reading Club. The club encourages students to participate in the library while they take time off school in an effort to build and maintain reading skills during the summer months. So far, there’s been a big increase in registration for this summer’s reading club, said Nathalie Jones, a librarian at the Sooke branch. “I think the fact we’ve had more children’s programs in the past year that there’s more of a recognition of our summer reading club,” she said. “I’m hoping it will be a really great success.”

Sooke club gets kick out of karate Sooke Martial Arts Association provides unique sports outlet
I learned how to teach. I learned how to speak and be spoken to. I have a greater sense of self-confidence that really hasn’t wavered even through even my teenage years.” Kevin Laird Founded in 1982 by Ian Sooke News Mirror Milne as Sooke Martial Arts, the group manifested into the Sooke Martial Arts Association imee McIntosh, an inin 2010, and is now a non-profit structor for the Sooke run by volunteers.

What is Shotokan-style karate? Shotokan Karate is a traditional Japanese martial art founded by Gichin Funakoshi. This form of karate is a weaponless martial art that is founded on the basic techniques of punching, striking, kicking and blocking, yet there is a deeper aspect to karate training which deals with character development. Shotokan Karate is a way for an individual to realize greater potential and expand the limits of that individual’s physical and mental
capabilities. Shotokan Karate remains firmly rooted in a strong martial arts tradition, emphasizing lifetime training for a healthy mind and body, rather than strictly as a sport. Karate in an excellent, time-proven method of personal development, with benefits that include building self-esteem, enhancd flexibility, improved coordination and balance, and maximizing cardio-respiratory fitness, while promoting discipline and self defence
several competitive tournaments a year. The most important link that brings the club together: family. “We’re very family friendly. Many people that start with us involve their kids. It actually becomes a family activity for them,” says McIntosh, whose father is also a member and lead sensei of the association. “The parents have to be a part of it as well. It’s a family requirement to be involved.” Of the six sensei, three have been with the club since its inception: Don McIntosh, Nicky Logins and Trina Lacroix. The other sensei include Reese Anderson, Aimee McIntosh, and Levi Niblack. Student belts run from white to black, but there is only one promotion a year. Not all students get promoted. There are criteria they need to meet, which includes attendance, knowledge, and expectations set out by the sensei. McIntosh says it can take anywhere from seven to 13 years to earn a black belt, depending on the age students start. It took McIntosh 13 years to get her black belt, but her father, who started as an adult, earned one in seven years. “It often comes down to maturity levels,” McIntosh says. “We found ages 17 and above tend to be able to handle the responsibility of being a black belt or a sansei better.” Recently, members of the association took part in two tournaments. At the Victoria Cup in Saanichton May 4, two juniors and four seniors came home with

medals. That competition was followed up with Hasting Martial Arts open tournament in Saanichton where four juniors earned medals, and the club’s brown belt student received five medals. “We encourage students to go into tournaments to expose
them to it. It gives them a healthy dose of competition,” McIntosh said. For more information on the Sooke Martial Arts Association, check out its website at www. SookeMartialArtsAssociation. com or email sookemartialarts. smaa@gmail.com.

U16 Stealers qualify for provincials Sooke squad plays first game July 12 Kevin Laird Sooke News Mirror
They’re off to the provincials. Sooke Minor Fastball Under 16C girls team qualified for the provincial championships with a third place finish at the district playdowns. The Stealers beat Cordova Bay, Peninsula, and Gordon Head. The team’s only loss came at the hands of Saanich’s Lake Hill. Central Saanich
and Gordon Head are the other South Island teams that will head to the provincial championships in Quesnel from July 12 to 14. The Stealers appearance at the provincial championship is no surprise as the squad went 12-4 over the regular season, and was the only team to beat powerhouse Central Saanich. “The team played well, and [the players] worked their butts off,” said head coach Brent Sluggett. “The season boiled down to a great parent group, and kids with no drama.

was unbelievable.” The Stealers play their first game at the provincials on July 12. Fifteen teams are in this year’s tournament, with each team playing in a fourgame round-robin followed by a double-knockout format for the playoffs. It’s the first year the Stealers have made an appearance at the provincial tournament, but Sluggett likes the squad’s chances. “If the team plays together like they did against Peninsula and Cordova Bay, we’ll do great,” he said. “It’s anybody’s game.”

Show your patriotism by giving blood Committee wants action on climate change Sooke will host a blood donor clinic on Canada Day, July 1, and the Canadian Blood Services says there’s no better way to demonstrate your patriotic spirit than to give the “gift of life” to fellow Canadians. The clinic will be held at Edward Milne community school between noon and 6 p.m. “It’s harder to get people to come to donate through the summer months because a lot of our regular donors are off on vacation or otherwise occupied with summertime activities so we really rely on new donors to make up for that shortfall,” said Anne Chabert, a spokesperson for Canadian Blood Services. And while the demand for blood is steady, the reason blood is needed shifts a bit during
the summer months. “During the school year the blood is needed primarily for surgery, but in the summer months, we see a lot of accidents and, unfortunately, that will boost demand for blood products. Our highest single day demand for blood is Labour Day, for example,” Chabert said, noting that it’s a statistic that should inspire caution when taking that vacation trip. Generating interest in blood donations is always a challenge,

as people are often confused about the process, the time commitment and whether they are eligible to give blood and Chabert said it’s time to dispel some of the false ideas about giving blood. “While it’s true that only about 50 per cent of the population can give blood, we can tell you right at the clinic if you are eligible,” Chabert said. Only about four per cent of the people who are eligible to give blood actually take the time to
make the donation, even though the entire process generally takes just under an hour of a donor’s time, Chabert said. “People can go to our website (blood. ca) and reserve a time to come in so that they are certain that there will be no delays,” Chabert said. “We also welcome walk-ins and we’ll do our best to keep the total time that your there, from walking in the door to getting your juice and cookie, to under an hour.”

Second World War underway, Sooke’s population increased, resulting in a shortage of classroom space. Grades three and four were then housed where the Sheringham Distillery is now. I was in that schoolroom for two years, and recall that while the house had a bathroom, it was reserved for girls, and boys were relegated to a backyard outhouse. Building of new classrooms on the main school site continued throughout the war, and today, the old school buildings are long gone. Not sure of the status of most in this photo, but three are still with us today. ••• Elida Peers is the historian of the Sooke Region Museum.
