Council backs away from MMPFPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

An amendment to zoning Bylaw 582 would have seen Medi-cal Marijuana Produc-tion Facilities as permit-ted uses in rural, agri-cultural and industrial zones in the District of Sooke.

The amendment had already passed unani-mously through first and second reading in February, 2014, but at the April 14 council meeting some mem-bers of council backed away from endors-ing the bylaw. Amend-ments also included definitions of horti-culture and Medical Marijuana Production Facilities (MMPF).

A public hearing was held on April 14 to guage the public sen-timent on the zoning amendment.

Only one person stood up to speak to the issue. Michael Nyikes, president of the Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce, stated investors had met with the chamber and had multi-millions of dollars to spend on medical marijuana production facilities.

It is an economic development oppor-

tunity, said Nyikes. It creates local jobs and local convenience and additional tax revenue.

There were com-ments made about the tax revenue from those agricultural properties versus commercial tax revenue. If the property is used for agriculture, ie: MMPFs, then the tax rate is calculated accordingly. It would not be commercial.

A motion was made by Councillor Herb Hal-dane to keep all MMPFs in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Discussion ensued on the agricultural zones located in the Whiffin Spit area and the possi-bility that MMPFs could be located there.

Mayor Wendal Milne stated he was worried about the impact on neighbours if MMPFs were attached to a spe-cific zone.

Councillor Kerrie Reay said she felt this whole MMPF issue was moving too quickly and that marijuana was still an illegal drug.

There was discus-sion on the rights of people who are already growing medical mari-juana for themselves.

Councillor Rick Kasper said he did not want to see peoples

rights trampled. It was made clear that

on issues of what hap-pens on ALR land, the Agricultural Land Com-mission was in charge and their authority trumped the districts.

Concerns were raised by referral agen-cies as to location of MMPFs, as in proximity to regional parks and trails, setbacks, access to site in case of emer-gency, hazardous mate-rials on site and the need for a fire safety plan.

Planner Gerard LeB-lanc said that restric-tions could be put into place in the bylaw to limit where MMPFs could be located.

In March the Federal Court granted an inter-locutory constitutional exemption allowing production of medical marijuana in a home or private dwelling legal, thereby preserving the rights of authorized users and producers. This would be for a set period before it came before the court again.

In the end vote, it was a tie and the motion was defeated. Council made a motion to wait until the federal court case is settled to deal with this issue - in about nine months.

Concerns seen to out weigh benefits

A look back at what made the news in Sooke over the years.

April 15, 2009Construction turn-

around not expected until 2011

Greater Victoria had a jaw-dropping month-to-month growth in the value of building permits but a marked slump in the number of new homes being built.

At first blush, the two sets of construction figures released this week paint a contradic-tory picture of how the economic downturn is playing out here.

The explanation is that the staggering 270 per cent jump in the value of building per-mits issued in Febru-ary came from a single mega-project.

April 14, 2004Sooke receives

another grant: $1.9 million for Highway 14 upgrades

The District of Sooke shot and scored. Three times.

Thursday morn-ing, David Anderson, federal minister of the Environment and senior minister for BC, announced Sooke will receive $1.9 million for upgrades to two kilo-metres of Highway 14 though the community core from just west of Atherley Close to Char-ters Road. It is the third grant the municipality has netted under the Canada-BC Infrastruc-ture program in the past year. Sooke also received $11.6 million last May for the com-munity sewer project and $1.9 million last month to build part of a parallel route to high-way 14. All three were applied for in 2001.

April 13, 1994Incorporation bid

scrappedThe Minister of

Municipal Affairs has put the final nail in the coffin of the latest Sooke incorporation effort.

Calling the Feb. 23 CRD decision to with-draw completely from the study unprec-

edented, Darlene Marzari announced Thursday that no more money will be made available for the Sooke Incorporation Restruc-turing Committee (SIRC).

The incorpora-tion study process has become too polar-ized to continue, and should be temporar-ily discontinued, she said. I think a cooling off period is in order.

SIRC formed in December of 1992

to examine whether Sooke would benefit from incorporating as a municipality with its own mayor and council.

Sooke is currently governed by the CRD.

April 12, 1989Sooke soil not good

for septic systemsMost of the soil types

found in Sooke are not supportive of adequate septic systems, says the CRD water quality report, and it suggests that further studies are necessary to determine whether restrictions on future development should be imposed.

The report revealed that of 11 different soil types in the area, 10 were in the potentially troublesome category. This does not mean that every septic tank absorbtion field in the area is likely to create problems, but it did indicate that the soil had general character-istics that could cause problems.

The report warned that increased develop-ment and further sub-division could result in significant sublateral flow to the water.

On a windy Friday morning, Journey mid-dle school saw early morning activity with the building of a pit and a morning-long cook-out.

Principal Laurie Sza-dkowski introduced the event in an email. Stu-dents and staff from Mt. Olympus and Atlantis Neighbourhoods will be treated to a feast of veggies, salmon and crab cooked in a pit in our school yard. A pit, dug by our Facilities Department, lined with stones from DeMamiel Creek and ferns from the forest will be used to help cook the food after the fire has left a bed of coals.

Represented were the TSou-ke, Pacheed-aht, and Tsawout Nations.

Elder Earl Claxton Jr. looked after the slow roasting of the salmon, while knowledge keeper John Brad-ley Williams (Tsawout Nation), who works under Elder Earl Clax-ton, looked after coor-dinating the Pit Cook. Williams explained the process to groups of Journey students.

First a deep pit is dug out, and lined with rocks along the bottom. A wood fire is started on top of the rocks in order to heat the rocks.

At Journey, the fire was started at 6 a.m. Once the rocks were heated, after three hours of being in the fire, the ashes were removed. Then, the pit is quickly filled and cov-ered.

The filling process, which began shortly after 9:30 a.m., took a matter of minutes. The process began with placing a big wooden branch in the middle and then adding lay-ers. These include a

layer of green salal branches (which, Wil-liams pointed out is an excellence source of Vitamin C), ferns, and skunk weed leaves (dont worry, assured Williams, the stinky smell comes from the flowers, not the leaves). The salal and ferns pro-tect the food and pro-vide flavour; the skunk weed leaves act as catchers, should any food spill from their burlap sacks. Then, the vegetables in burlap sacks were placed on top of the greens, and quickly covered with the same layer (skunk weed, ferns and salal). Once all the greens were laid and the stick removed, three big pails of water were poured into the pit, sending billowing wafts

of steam skywards. A tarp was quickly laid on top of the steaming pile and then covered with dirt.

On a separate fire, salmon was posted on

a grill and positioned beside another fire. Claxton explained that the cooking process entailed four repo-sitioning: after the

first roasting, the top and the bottom are switched, then the grill is turned front to back, and then switched bot-tom to top. The process

hardens the outer flesh, cooking up a tender and flavourful inside.

By 1 p.m., the food was cooked. The pit had to be carefully shov-elled, the tarp rolled up, and the cooked greens removed. Burlap bags were carried to the waiting tables and the root vegetables taken out. At the same time, the salmon came off the grill.

After a prayer and blessing from TSou-ke Nation Elder Shir-ley Alphonse, with Michelle Wolf drum-ming, the elders were served, and then the students, too, could dine.

This Pit Cook was the first of two. Jour-ney middle school has four neighbourhoods within. This Pit Cook was worked by and enjoyed by the Mt. Olypmus and Atlantis neighbourhoods. Next up, Utopia and Mystical Main will engage in the next Pit Cook, sched-uled for April 25.

The event was tied to the pursuit of knowl-edge. We just wanted to bring a little bit of culture (and) celebrate spring, said Michelle Wolf, who is with Jour-neys Aboriginal educa-tion program.

TO All THOSE Sooke businesses and residents who are sprucing up their premises, yards and curb sides after the winter.

Did You Know? Our weather has been wonderful, especially when I talk to people in Alberta or Saskatchewan and even further East. Lots of calls because of the rough winter those provinces received this year. But... we have had a renewed interest in the Island from Europe and Asia... I had a gentleman come in the office who has lived abroad for quite a while, he said he has been to Vancouver for business many times over the years but had never made it to the Island. Once here, this is where he wants to live. Take it from me slow down and smell the roses, we live in paradise!

EXERCISEThere are 1,440 minutes in every day. Schedule 30 of them for physical

activity! Regular exercise is a critical part of staying healthy. People who are active live longer and feel better. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can delay or prevent diabetes, some cancers and heart problems.

Most adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days per week. Examples include walking briskly, mowing the lawn, dancing, swimming for recreation or bicycling. Stretching and weight training can also strengthen your body and improve your fitness level.

The key is to find the right exercise for you. If it is fun, you are more likely to stay motivated. You may want to walk with a friend, join our walking group or plan a group bike ride. If youve been inactive for awhile, use a sensible approach and start out slowly. Cedar Grove Centre 250-642-2226

The T.A.S.K. program at Edward Milne com-munity school is build-ing a sturdy following of young trades people.

On April 8, students from the program gath-ered at the Sunriver Community Garden to put into place a shed they built for the Chil-drens Garden Club through a grant pro-vided by the District of Sooke. The shed will house equipment for the club, which teaches young children the joys and pleasures of gar-dening.

Instructor Blair Hughes said the students planned, designed and did pretty much everything on the frame building.

The project took about four to five days for framing an another two or three days will be spent on site assem-bling the structure.

Theyre not work-ing eight hours shifts, said Hughes. I guess it would be 20 hours on the shed.

The shed, when com-plete, will have cedar siding, windows and a door. The door was built by two female TASK students, Dray-ven Bell and Tina Dick-

son, both in Grade 12 at EMCS. It took them three days to make.

Both think they may take up welding and try to get work in Alberta after they graduate from EMCS.

Two years ago the school introduced the successful pro-gram called T.A.S.K. Trades Awareness Skills and Knowledge.

Chamber ChatterThe Sooke Region

Chamber of Com-merces Business Excel-lence Awards held on Saturday April 5, 2014 at the Prestige Ocean-front Resort was a HUGE success!

Tickets were com-pletely sold out for this premier Sooke event, with over 100 attend-ees enjoying a cocktail and appetizer recep-tion to the smooth sounds of Monte Saat-chi playing spanish gui-tar, followed by a deli-cious dinner of prime

rib and wild salmon with all the trimmings and decadent desserts by the Mix by Rics.

Dignitaries such as Mayor Milne, Council-lors Tait, Berger, Reay, Kasper and Pearson, as well as Fire Chief Soren-son were in attendance to enjoy the evenings festivities.

Emcee Ron Larsen and Chamber Presi-dent Michael Nyikes co-hosted the award presentations, numer-ous prize draws, and live auction, with every-

thing being captured by photographer Jack Most from The Most in Photography.

Many emotional and impactful acceptance speeches were deliv-ered by the award recipients, and there were a number of spe-cial surprises and announcements made throughout the eve-ning.

Music and dancing by Ron Larsen (www.djpro.ca) continued until midnight, and a free limousine service

from LA Limo safely shuttled everyone home at the end of the night.

There was a great sense of community pride and positive energy in the room throughout the eve-ning, and a definite feel-ing that the people in the room were all part of something very spe-cial.

The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce thanks and appreciates all the sponsors, prize donors and individuals

who volunteered their time to make this event such a success.

Please visit the Busi-ness Excellence Awards section on the Events page of the Chambers website for full list of the the finalists and award recipients, as well as the Member Gallery section of the Membership page of the Chambers web-site (www.sookeregion-chamber.com) for pho-tographs from the eve-nings celebrations.

Sooke volunteer: Mark ZieglerMark Ziegler is a

sparkling example of a senior who finds him-self busier volunteering in his retirement than he ever expected to be. A lively, energetic and friendly 32-year vet-eran of the federal pub-lic service in Ottawa, Mark and his wife, Bon-nie retired to Sooke in 2008 and immediately immersed themselves in the community.

Mark quickly became an active member of Rotary, holding the positions of Foundation

chair, Rotary Auction chair, and now presi-dent. Marks planning,

research and supervi-sory experience equips him well for the leader-ship and coordination responsibilities.

Mark and Bonnie love to hike the end-less wilderness trails in the Sooke area, and both volunteer with the Volunteer Warden program of the CRD, regularly walking the Sooke Potholes, lend-ing a watchful eye. Mark is also an active member of the Kludak Trail Society, fulfilling the position of secre-

tary and contributing his energy to trail clear-ing and repairs during seasonal work parties. He can also be called upon to help with trail clearing with the Juan de Fuca Community Trails Society, when the need arises.

An avid runner, Mark is a member of the Sooke Trail and Road Runners (STARR) Club, tearing up the streets of Sooke every Satur-day and Thursday, as well as almost every other day of the week.

Mark shares his pas-sion for running by coaching and mentor-ing students of the high school cross-country team at Edward Milne.

Mark selflessly offers a helping hand and a listening ear to friends and neighbours as well, whatever the need. Sometimes when you need something done in a community, you ask the busiest person Mark would be the first person that comes to mind!

Assault:Sooke RCMP are

investigating a com-plaint of assault with a weapon. On April 9, 2014 at approximately 17:45 hours, a retired couple were walking their dog on the Gal-loping Goose trail near Manzer Road. A female was walking towards them and pulled out a can of pepper spray, and sprayed the cou-ple.

This investigation has lead to the arrest of a 45-year-old resident of Sooke, now charged with two counts of Assault with a Weapon. She appeared before a Judicial Justice of the Peace and was released on Recognizance with conditions, including not to be found on the Galloping Goose trail.

The couple who were victimized in this attack have recovered with no

sustained injuries. Sooke Speed Watch: The community of

Sooke is well served by the detachments Speed Watch and Citi-

zens on Patrol program. With regard to Speed Watch, many of us are accustomed to seeing the volunteers out with the radar operated sign alerting us to the speed

we are travelling at. The volunteers provide this service in areas of concern, school zones, business areas, and spots with higher acci-dent rates. One change

residents may notice, starting this week, is the RCMP speed enforcement accompa-nying the Speed Watch volunteers. Those choosing not to take

the free advice from Speed Watch to slow down, may wind up with a Violation ticket.


Police Beat

Its early spring and that means eye-pop-ping colours around every corner tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, camellias, flowering plums and cherries, and, of course, rhodo-dendrons. How lucky we are to live in a cli-mate that allows us to feast on this visual banquet at the end of a gray, rainy winter.

For all intents and purposes, we are just getting into rhodo sea-son. Some varieties are already in spectacu-lar bloom, with many, many more to come over the weeks ahead. What is so great about these shrubs, in addi-tion to the gamut of colour their flowers offer, is that they gen-erally look great year round. Moreover, they tend not to be on the deer buffet.

R h o d o d e n d ro n s are much more vari-able than is generally realized. They range in size from tiny, only a few centimeters tall, to giants, more than 30 meters in height. Leaf and flower shapes also vary widely, and some species are highly per-fumed. In certain areas, rhododendrons grow abundantly in the wild. So with thousands of cultivars available, the big challenge is decid-ing which ones to choose for a particular landscape or container.

Its spring, its plant-ing time, and rho-

dos (some already in bloom) are available for purchase at nurs-eries and garden cen-tres everywhere. Its the perfect time for Bill McMillans Rhodos 101, a presentation addressing the basics of rhododendron cul-ture, care and prob-lems. He will talk about the various kinds of rhodos, when, where, and how to plant them, and how to determine why a plant is not per-forming well and what to do about it.

Bill McMillan, describes himself as a rhodo enthusiast rather than an expert. However, he has been curator of the Rhodo-dendron and Hosta Garden of the Horti-culture Centre of the Pacific since 2000 and has visited China twice to study species rho-dodendrons.

The Sooke Region has always attracted a variety of incredibly talented and interesting people.

Among these is James George French, a naturalist who arrived on the island in the late 1800s from Bristol, England, where he had been a student of zool-ogy and biology.

Some reports say that he arrived on the Atlantic coast and walked part of the way across Canada. Some-times early settlers were remittance men, and Mr. French may have been in this cat-egory.

At any rate, he loved animals, and one of the first places he set up was in Saanich, where he established a menagerie of circus animals, which he over-wintered while they rested up from their circus circuit. Among his tenants were a lion and an elephant, and his occupation drew a mixed reaction from his neighbours. This 1914 photo shows Russki, a bear that he kept in his Saanich pens.

In 1889 he married into one of our early families. His bride was Dora Jane, eldest daughter of pioneers John Goudie and Mary Ann Vautrin. He pre-empted Section 79 (Renfrew District) in Shirley, and for the next decades alternated his time between Saanich and Shirley.

The French children - Ivan, Hazel, Oscar, Wil-fred and Daniel were all born in Saanich, though the sons chose to make their homes and earn their livelihoods in the woods industry throughout the Sooke/Otter/Shirley area.

Skilled in animal hus-bandry, Mr French also kept animals on his Sec-tion 79 property and family members recall a series of cougars that were housed there. Children who grew up in the area recall that though fascinated by the animals, they felt somewhat intimidated by their keeper.

The family carved a place in history for themselves through their pioneering set-tlement on the west-ern shores, and their descendants now make their homes in many places throughout BC. James George French passed away in 1952.

In time, the French family chose to hon-our their patriarch by making the beautiful oceanfront property available to the govern-ment of British Colum-bia as a park. French Beach Provincial Park, 145 acres of near-wil-

derness splendor, was dedicated on June 12, 1981.

2010 WINNER

Let the election games begin

Councillor Maja Tait said it on Monday night - its election time. It starts in January and ends just before the election in November. What starts? If anyone has gone to council since the beginning of the year, it is obvious that the electioneering has begun. The waffling on decisions made earlier, the pleasantness among council members, the lack of out bursts and the cautious decisions or no decisions. No one wants to offend the electorate. That is a good thing, but it shouldnt just be in the months before an election, this is something that should go on for the entire term of office - and it hasnt in many cases. In fact, council meetings are rather staid these days, it was a lot more exciting when tempers blew and definite positions were taken on issues.

Four-year terms are coming and we need to be ready for that. One has to seriously consider who they think will be the most conscientious and desirable candidate for council or mayor. Do we go with those we know or take a chance on someone new? That, of course, will be up to the voters. With four-year terms, there is no easy legal way to depose someone who isnt working out. There is no probabtion period, no performance reviews. There is their record for sure, if they have sat on council already. What about those newcomers to the political arena? As in every community there are those who speak out and take stands for others, sit in on council meetings and committees to see what is going on. Those folks are likely the ones who will throw their hat in the ring.

Now the waiting game begins. Few council members have declared whether they are running again or not. Rumours abound and tight lips are everywhere. They are waiting to see who is running to determine what they will run for - council or mayor. It will be an interesting seven months of gestation.

ANOTHER VIEW

B.C. Views

Detailed debate on changes to the Agricultural Land Commission got underway in the legislature last week, while protesters played to urban voters outside.

A couple of West Kootenay NDP supporters brought a basket of homegrown veggies down to help East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett get through the winter on a 100-mile diet.

A group of mostly UBC scientists wrote to Premier Christy Clark, embracing the popular assumption that the changes will automatically mean more exclusions of agricul-tural land, as well as expanded sec-ondary uses in the Cariboo, Koote-nay and North zones. This jeopar-dizes species at risk, threatens many common species, and will impact many species prized for hunting, they wrote.

It makes me wonder if these uni-versity botanists and bird experts actually understand what farming is. You know, clear-cutting a forest and planting largely monoculture crops? Using big machinery, creating drain-age, applying fertilizers, controlling diseases, pests and wild animals? Not backyard gardening, real farm-ing of the sort that has fed more people than in all of human history?

Have they heard that the larg-est cause of deforestation in North America is farming?

Do they imagine habitat loss from

subdivisions sprawling across the Cariboo?

Forests Minister Steve Thomson has been pinch-hitting for Fort St. John MLA Pat Pimm on the agricul-ture file as Pimm undergoes cancer treatment. Thomson took exception when NDP agriculture critic Nicolas Simons asked if he is aware people think the changes are to neuter the chair of the Agricultural Land Com-mission.

Thomson, a former executive director of the Kelowna-based B.C. Agriculture Association, replied that the changes do not reduce the inde-pendence of the chair.

Under further questioning from Simons, Thomson allowed that the current ALC chair, Richard Bullock, has provided no response to the government on the proposals.

Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick was appointed Friday to replace Pimm as agriculture minis-ter. But this ALC project is Bennetts initiative, so I asked him about his changes to the appointment pro-cess.

Bennett said the six regional pan-els, up to three people each, were set up by then-minister Stan Hagen in 2003 to provide local input. That worked well, he said, until Bullock came on the scene and began exer-cising his discretion not to appoint people recommended by cabinet.

The chair doesnt like the regional panels, Bennett told me. Its a pain in the ass for the chair to have to

deal with 18 farmers from all over the province in making decisions. It would be six farmers, because only one person from the regional panel actually sits on the provincial com-mission.

He thinks that its unwieldy, and hed rather have the decision-mak-ing centralized in Burnaby. But we changed that. We decided as a duly elected government in 2003 that we wanted the regions to have a say on this stuff, so the intention of the leg-islation, we felt, was actually being defeated, because we hadnt made it mandatory.

It will be mandatory soon, and Bullocks days as commission chair appear to be numbered.

Theres no more discretion for any future chair to monkey with it, Bennett added.

One of Bennetts key issues is denial of secondary residence con-struction to keep families on the land in the Interior. The legislation also introduces social and eco-nomic factors in weighing decisions in the North, Cariboo and Kootenay regions, where in most cases devel-opment pressure is an urban myth.

The main ALC board will still have authority to revisit a local panel decision if the chair deems it incon-sistent with the mandate to protect farmland.

Clean up appreciated

Im not sure who is responsible for the amazing upgrades to the path along Whiffin Spit, but the workers did one amazing job.

All the rocks weve all been tripping over are gone, the pot holes are gone no more weaving around huge puddles for the spit-ters. The surface has been compacted and people pushing stroll-ers and those using walkers can fairly eas-ily make it to the end now, instead of just the first 50 feet.

So many people enjoy walking along the Spit, locals and visi-tors alike and we will all enjoy it a lot more now; so thanks for the improvements. We appreciate it.

Anne BoquistSooke

Keep all vehicles out

What a pleasure it is to hike the Sooke hills, Empress Mountain, the Potholes, and the whole area within the Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt.

To date more than 10,200 hectares of the proposed Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt is pro-vincial, regional and municipal park land, including Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, Goldstream Provincial Park, Sooke Mountain Provincial Park, and Sooke Hills Wilderness Regional Park Reserve.

An area of land size-able enough to sustain whole ecosystems, this gem provides habitat for a wide variety of species, including the iconic bald eagle, the elusive black bear, and numerous rare and endangered plants and animals. While much of the land is covered with second-growth forest, pockets of old-growth persist, and many of the streams and rivers support salmon spawn-ing.

The main reason this wilderness area pro-vides such a lush and healthy ecosystem is because there is no vehicle traffic allowed in this park system. Access must be lim-ited to non-motor traf-fic or else the integrity and health of these parks will be lost. The encroachment of vehi-cles would inevitability bring too many human behaviors, noise, and pollution issues that are detrimental to a truly wilderness expe-rience and would damage the restora-tion work that has been done (mostly by nature herself). With the provincial Liberals opening up park lands to resource extraction there is less and less area that is not vulner-able to human exploi-tation.

I would like to thank the CRD, TLC, Habitat Acquisition Trust, The Society for the Protec-tion of Ayum Creek, and local municipalities for

working together and having the vision and tenacity in creating such a magnificent wil-derness area that is revered and appreci-ated by so many. I think what gets forgot-ten quite often is that these areas are not protected merely for people to enjoy, but for the wildlife and natural elements to thrive in and stay healthy. The heath of these eco-systems keeps us all healthier and happier. Keep up the great work and keep out the vehi-cles.

Thievery runs amok

A thief is a thief is a thief whether he/she/they steal from homes, businesses or even dirt from the cemetery.

In 1989 the Sooke Lions club spent almost every weekend for a year to revitalize the Sooke Harbour Cem-etery. It was hard work, but work for the ben-efit of our community, thats what we do. We continue to maintain that cemetery and part of that job requires dirt to be brought in for our use.

To the persons unknown (thieves) who continue to take our dirt, please be advised that you have managed to get some 35 Lions members a bit upset at you. There is noth-

ing like going to a work party and find that some miscreant has stolen your supplies. Shame.

To mitigate this con-tinuing problem, we are forced to build a secure storage place for the dirt, this will take money away from other projects we do in the community.

In closing, we want to thank the citizens of Sooke and area who have so strongly sup-ported our club for the past 49 years. We will continue to do our community service knowing that there are a lot more of you good folks out there than the few bad who caused this letter to be written. Thanks for your contin-ued support.

Easter and bunnies dont mix

To whoever dumped the white Himalayan bunny beside Sooke Road near Awsworth, your former pet is now dead. You didnt set her free you sentenced a domestic animal to death.

I tried to catch her/him when I first saw her one cold, rainy afternoon, but she was so frightened she ran farther into the ditch and I was concerned Id scare her into traf-fic. Whenever I drove by Id look for her, but

didnt see her again, until I noticed her body lying on the other side of the road, some weeks later. It appeared she had been struck by a car, or it might have been caused by the steel brush bristle which protruded from her chest. I gave her a decent burial (so upset-ting)in my yard rather than leave her there, with the hubcaps, cof-fee cups and other dis-carded things.

Rabbits are wonder-ful, intelligent compan-ions, much like dogs and cats. They are part of the family; at least a 10 - 15 year commit-ment, not rodents, nor good pets for children, never, ever Easter gifts (one wouldnt give a reindeer for Christ-mas). Chocolate or plush only please!

Compassion not competition

Response to Human Society Support, Sooke News Mirror,

We asked: Are you concerned about online security?

Yes, particularly with the Heartbleed virus. I have

changed all my passwords.

Sande CummingsSooke

Absolutely. Ive always been ner-vous about online attacks. There

are a lot of ways that increase the availability of personal online information. And when it comes to security, theres too much to

choose from and not enough in-formation about it.

Allan BrightSooke

I should be, but I have lots of anti virus programs. It's

definitely a concern.

Brock ArmstrongSooke

No. I think theres too much paranoia and fear.

Happy Easter!

Poirier students to explore aquarium at night!We are students at Ecole

Poirier and we think it is a great school. There is always some-thing exciting to do like fun assemblies, jump rope for heart, and music Monday. Poirier is one of the few schools with our own song and motto which is JOIN IN!

This year all the Grade 4 and 5 students get to go to Vancou-ver. We are spending the night

in the aquarium! All the boys get to sleep with the dolphins and the girls get to sleep with the belugas.

The Grade 4 and 5 students are also starting literature cir-cles.

In our class we are making Pysanky eggs. Pysanky eggs are a Ukrainian tradition. We are also building cars for science. We do lots of cool art work and

get to play the ukuleles and the primary students get to play the recorders. All the Grade 2s at Poirier are doing swimming les-sons every Tuesday and Thurs-day.

We think Poirier is a great elementary school and we hope you will be able to experience it.

April 9, 2014 concern-ing its opening para-graph and misinforma-tion. My support is to the Victoria Humane Society, states the writer, Ms. Effa, as suggesting there is a competition and that people need to choose between the Victoria Humane Society, (VHS,) and the Sooke Animal Food and Rescue Soci-ety (SAFARS).

First, we want to state the differences separating both soci-eties. According to the writer, only VHS seems to have rules and poli-cies, but because we all know this cannot be true lets just talk about our charitys different ethical approaches and principles.

SAFARS main princi-ple is to never lose our empathy and compas-sion to humans and ani-mals alike. Our mission has been consistent from the start and our goal is to help the less fortunate pet owners in our community keep their pets. An example is when I, personally, helped Ms. Effa walk her dog three winters ago during all the days she was in convales-cence.

Regarding VHSs ethi-cal approach, we can use the reference we have from 2012 when Ms. Penny Stone was still the SPCAs man-ager. It was me who asked her for help to assist Cathy Park before it would be too late. To my surprise, her response was to transfer me to the cruelty department instead of lending a hand to this lady who in the past rescued hundreds of cats and dogs from pain, starva-tion and abuse. Refer-ence case: Park called the SPCA, saying she needed to get rid of her animals to avoid cru-elty charges. She was asking for help, and she knew she was starting to break down (Sooke News Mirror, February 26th, 2014 Park given suspended sentence).

Second, VHS was cre-ated in November 2013 by Penny Stone, by her longtime friend Carol Broad and others. Mrs. Broad is the president and Ms. Stone is the executive director.

Third, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, (CFHS), is composed by inde-pendent charities and these are not all shel-ters.

VHS or SAFARS are not affiliated with CFHS

and; therefore, none of them have extra privi-leges. We are both reg-istered charities. We invite readers to visit the federations web-site and to ask ques-tions.

Bad legacyWe can thank the B.C.

Liberals and specifi-cally Gordon Campbell for rising hydro rates and less money in our pockets. Before being forced out of office with the lowest approval rating of any premier in Canadian history, Campbell agreed to buy unneeded power from run of river inde-pendent power proj-ects at far above the market rates. This is now a huge unfunded liability as hydro has to sell excess power that it payed a premium for at lower market rates. That and regularly diverting dividends from hydro to other areas has left hydro in a mess that would cause WAC Bennett to turn over in his grave. This was just another sweet-heart deal cooked up for B.C. Liberal insiders and financiers.

Under the ruse of making B.C. self suffi-cient in power Camp-bell caused a gold rush mentality as companies (many foreign owned) rushed to stake out, dam and divert rivers to generate unneeded power too often with only token environmen-tal oversight.

After being run out of town on a rail, (not BC Rail as Campbell sold that to his cronies), the high priests of busi-ness who profited most from Campbells tenure sought to whitewash his shameful legacy by voting him Builder of the Decade and sup-ported his nomination to the Order of B.C. What a joke! Tax cuts to business were paid for by the old, poor, elderly, ill and young school children as Lib-erals cut funds to our most needy and vul-nerable to pay for busi-ness tax cuts.

Campbells acco-lades should read Food Bank Builder of the Decade and given the fishy smells around so many back room maneuverings, the Odour of BC. B.C. Lib-eral mismanagement of BC Hydro and our

rising hydro costs are Campbells legacy.

Thanks in order

I have been following the negativity from a local Sooke animal res-cue towards a poten-tial new rescue in East Sooke (The Victoria Humane Society) and I have one simple ques-tion: why is it so hard to be kind and support-ive? I personally feel grateful that Sooke has an opportunity to bring in someone like Penny Stone and her associ-ates to help the animals of our community. I feel as though she is being attacked and this is not

right. Instead of disre-specting her and her organization on social media sites, shouldnt we be saying thank you for recognizing the problem we have out here?

Thank you for using your skills and expertise towards the neglected, the forgot-ten, the strays and the abandoned... Oh, and thank you for all of the unpaid hours, the behind the scenes work and all of the fundrais-ing, planning and other amazing things you do for those animals (and doing so without pub-licly bashing the other rescues). We need to remember that Ms. Stone is also a volun-teer looking to make a difference, and that she has chosen our com-munity to do it in. Its time to wake up and be thankful, instead of

being petty. L. Parsons

On a cold and rainy weekend in a shing village on the Big Island the Reverend was shaking hands at the door after services. Sister Mary Loverby stepped forward for her moment of personal contact with the Reverend. As he shook her hand gently she looked imploringly into his eyes and

asked for forgiveness for not being in church for the previous 3 weeks. The Reverend smiled sincerely and said, Sister Mary, we are always glad to see you and we hope that you are encouraged in your life by being here. I hope that you dont believe youre going to hell if you dont come to church? said the Reverend with a twinkle in his eye.

Sister Marys eyes fell as she whispered, but I thought you would be upset with me and that God would not like me if I didnt come to church. Her voice trailed off into silence. Kindly, the Reverend squeezed Marys hand and she looked into his eyes once again.Church is people gathering to encourage each other and to praise the Creator for His goodness to us...and that youre with us Mary makes all of us happy, said the Reverend.

A teary smile broke out on Marys face and fealing of peace warmed her right down to her toes.Ill be back next week, Reverend.

And she was.

Britt SantowskiSooke News Mirror

Did you know that the greater Sooke region (from Port Ren-frew to East Sooke) has about 30 restaurants and eateries? Were a bit scarce on ethnic diversity though, and if youve had a craving for a nice Indian curry, youre probably think-ing that youll have to drive to The Big City for a bite.

Not any more. Theres authentic

Indian food to be had in Sooke, from a local business called Tastes of India. The reason why many dont know about it is probably because there is no restaurant and no sig-nage. So far, its been just word-of-mouth and social media.

The business is owned and managed by Pooja Barooah who hails originally from India. She received her MBA in the UK, and worked in Dubai as a realtor before she and her family landed here in Sooke. She is cur-rently merging her pas-sions (shes an entre-preneurial soul with a foodie bent) and is slowly setting up culi-nary shop here in Sooke. Our palates will be the beneficiaries.

And having enjoyed a sampling of her offer-ings, this reporter can speak to the qual-ity of the food. A look through her online menu speaks to the affordability. Because she has very little overhead (no build-ing and no employ-ees and she cooks from a rented, certified kitchen), she passes those savings on to the consumer. For about $35, you can easily feed a family of four; $45 will satisfy four hungry adults.

For those who are unfamiliar with an Indian menu, or those who are more experi-mental, you can let Barooah build you a meal. Just let her know your dislikes (like, per-haps, coriander) and your heat tolerance, and shell quote you a price and prepare you something that should be to your liking.

According to her website Barooah is a full-time mom who loves to cook. She offers authentic Indian take-out in Sooke every Wednesday, and is cur-rently in the process of setting up cooking

classes. Ive been cooking

for as long as I can remember, she said in conversation, and Im the biggest experi-menter that there is. The major influences in the development of her culinary skill were her mother and her mater-nal grandmother.

My mother is a really good cook. She hates cooking, but shes such a good cook. My grand-mother, my mothers mother, is an amazing cook. She can cook any meat dish to the perfect amount of salt without tasting it, said Barooah. I suppose its in my genes.

Barooah is also into sharing the experience, and will teach you how to cook your own Indian food. Her Face-book page also offers up recipes in her Notes (facebook.com/tasteso-findiainsooke/).

Her primary taste testers are her Norwe-gian husband, Bjrn Lodding and her one- year-old son, Aryan. Lodding, according to Barooah, is a very fin-icky eater, and if he doesnt like it, there is a chance that there is a significant amount of people that will not like it. Their one-year-old son, Aryan, has already developed a tolerance for spicy food. Probably acquired during invitro, laughs Barooah.

The family of three, along with their two rescue dogs, have taken up residence in Sooke, and are loving it. They are currently here on a work visa through her husband, who works as a corporate trainer in Victoria. Barooah is intending to stay.

Should their perma-nency become a reality, Barooah would eventu-

ally love to have a food truck.

It makes Indian food accessible, said Barooah.

For the time being, there is an online menu on her website (Taste-sOfIndiaInSooke.com) along with a gallery of photos of her meals and her contact infor-mation. Order by Tues-day at noon, and pick up on Wednesday after 5 p.m. (She will contact you when your food is ready.)

The meals come indi-vidually packed with reheating instructions

on the label.

There is nothing left for you to do but reheat accordingly, set the

table and eat. set the

table and eat. Leftovers can easily be frozen for another day.
