Britt SantowskiSooke News Mirror

In the early morning of July 31, a structurally devastating fire ripped through the front part of the Evergreen Mall at 6660 Sooke Road in Sooke. All business contained in that build-ing have had their offices and workspaces completely demol-ished. Included in this list of casualties are the Sooke Dance Studio, RBC Royal Bank, Hub International Insur-ance, Sooke News Mir-ror, and PowerSoft Development Corp.

The fire started at around five in the morning and at one point was fairly con-tained. A firefighter said the spaces between the walls allowed the fire to spread rapidly within the building, shooting from office to office.

“We have the Sooke News Mirror, there’s an insurance office, there a dance studio upstairs, (and) a soft-ware company. The majority of the upstairs was vacant,” said Fire Chief Steve Sorenson when he spoke to the media.

The businesses behind the front run, from the liquor store onward, were relatively unaffected, although access to Interac and Internet was limited. A fire wall separating the liquor store from the rest of the building, and an alleyway behind the building separat-ing it from the other businesses, protected the rest of the mall. A firefighting crew on the roof steadily monitored the situation, to ensure that the fire didn’t spread.

“At this point,” Sorensen continued, “we’re calling it a suspi-cious fire. It appears it may have started at the

back, at the rear of the bank building.” When asked if it started in the dumpster, Sorensen replied, “We’re not too sure what it is at this point, but it’s definitely suspicious.”

As for how it began, Sorensen said, “It looks like started on the ground floor and it trav-elled up in the wall to the second floor.”

The police were also on site, and employed the services of a police dog on the morning of the fire. They also included a forensic identification section “as well as a general investigation section out of our Island Dis-trict headquarters,” said Staff Sergeant Steve Wright. “We’ve got some informa-tion to follow up on. It may or may not be an arson, we don’t know yet; it could have been an accident. We’re not jumping to any conclu-sions.”

District of Sooke Mayor Wendal Milne was looking on as the building stood in smol-dering ruins.

“It’s an old building. I think it was built in the early 70s,” said Milne.

“The fire departments have done a great job; I think they’ve done everything they could. It was a very difficult fire to deal with. A couple (of firefighters) just got out before stuff started collapsing. It’s a dangerous fire, and aggressive fire, to deal with.”

Milne wrapped up by acknowledging the collaboration of other fire stations in the area. “Thank goodness for cooperation with places like Langford, Otter Point, East Sooke, and Metchosin who have all come here to

help out.”The fire heavily taxed

the water supplies in the Helgeson reservoir. By 10 a.m., Sorensen said that they were down to half. “At one point we were going through five thousand gallons a minute.”

Later that same day, the CRD announced that water supply to Sooke residents has been returned to nor-mal. “This morning, the large amounts of water needed to fight a major structure fire in Sooke raised concerns about drawing down the water level in Helgeson

Reservoir. This con-cern has now passed and the water supply to Sooke residents is returning to normal,” read a notice on their website.

“Definitely the big-gest fire of the year,” wrapped up Sorensen, “maybe even in the last few years.”

There were no reported injuries, though the firefighters did have to contend with the floor on the second floor over the bank collapsing.

By the early after-noon, demolition of the east wing of the build-ing that housed RBC had begun.

Just after eight, after the entire roof had been demolished, the fire crew was packing up for the night.

“It’s been a long day,” said Sorensen, after more than 14 hours of being on site. “And we’ll be back here at eight in the morning.” By the evening, there were no hot spots remain-ing, “But I wouldn’t be surprised if something pops up in the night.” Sorensen said “There will be security here all night.”

The Sooke News Mir-ror has taken up tem-porary residence at the Seaview Business

Centre, 1A - 6631 Sooke Road, just across the street from Home Hard-ware.

The Royal Bank will have ATM services available as of August 3 at the Chevron Town Pantry, located at 6610 Sooke Road. RBC staff will be available to meet with clients on site at Shoppers Drug Mart, located at 6660 Sooke Road. Staff will be available Monday to Thursday: 9:30 am - 5 pm, Friday: 9:30 am – 6 pm and Saturday: 9 am – 4 pm. As of Saturday, August 3, clients will be able to access their existing safe deposit boxes which have been safely moved from the Sooke branch to the RBC Westshore Town Centre branch at 2945 Jacklin Road, Victoria.

Residents wanting to continue business with Hub International Lim-ited can go through the Colwood office (1736A Island Highway, 250-474-2310) or the Victo-ria location (2640 Doug-las St, 250-385-6313).

The Sooke Dance Stu-dio can be contacted through Facebook.

PowerSoft Devel-opment Corp can be reached by email, [email protected].

Beecher Bay First Nation extends notice to vacate campground until September 1Britt SantowskiSooke News Mirror

The chief and coun-cil of Beecher Bay First Nation have agreed to extend the notice to vacate at the Beecher Bay campground, from the originally stated deadline of August 11 to September 1, 2013.

The campers, who had contracted the legal counsel of L. John Alexander, were initially requesting an extension of four months, ending on the end of November. This would have taken them past the next chief and council election, cur-rently scheduled for mid-October.

On July 19, 2013, Alexander sent a let-ter to the Beecher Bay First Nations pointing out that the transitory nature of the “camp-ground” was question-able as there were many residents who had lived there “in excess of 20 years.” He referenced English common law, and in his letter to the band wrote, “a person who pays half yearly in advance, becomes entitled to six months’ notice of termination.”

In a letter of response dated July 24, Melinda J. Skeels — the legal counsel for the Scai’new First Nation (also known as Beecher Bay First Nation) — states that application of common law is not applicable to the ten-ants at the Beecher Bay campground.

“In fact, it is the Indian Act which gov-erns,” writes Skeels in

the response. Calling upon the 1965 Regina v. Devereux case, Skeels writes that in the absence a “permit in writing” from the min-ister responsible, any written or oral agree-ment with chief and council to allow land usage to anyone other than a member of the band is void.

A 2003 paper written by Christopher Alcan-tara (Individual prop-erty rights on Canadian Indian Reserves) sheds some light on this ref-erence. In 1950, non-Indian Harry Devereaux was given a 10-year lease on a parcel of land at the request of a Six Nations band mem-ber, with the approval of the Minister of Indian Affairs, as permitted by the Indian Act. When the lease expired, and after two minister-approved

one-year extensions, the band passed a band council resolu-tion (BCR) to evict Mr. Devereaux, stating he was unlawfully in pos-session of the land (the band member origi-nally requesting the lease had since died).

“The Supreme Court of Canada decided in favour of the Attorney General,” writes Alcan-tara, “holding that since the expiry of the lease of the leases, the defen-dant could not point to any provision in the Indian Act which gave him lawful possession of the land (SCR 570). Therefore, according to this case, an indi-vidual non-Indian could acquire a lease from a CP holder in two main ways: through s. 58(3) or s. 28 (2) of the Indian Act, both of which required the consent of

the Minister of Indian Affairs.”

According to the let-ter from Skeels, as per the Indian Act and the 1965 ruling, the camp-ers “are in trespass on Scia’new lands. This is so regardless of any leases, of whatever term, that may have purportedly been made in respect of the land at issue, on behalf of the Scia’new or otherwise” as there was no Minis-terial Agreement.

Skeels writes, “my clients agree that an orderly and reason-able transition to their new use of their lands would be in everyone’s best interest. It has come to their attention that vacating by August 11, 2013 may cause hardship to some occu-pants as it falls in the middle of the month. In recognition of this fact,

as a gesture of goodwill and to allow some time for discussion between all involved, my cli-ents have decided to extend the closure of the Campground until September 1, 2013.”

Skeels further states the band chief and council are “willing to explore the possibil-ity of delaying the clo-sure of certain portions of the Campground in order to, on a case-by-case basis, allow some of your clients (ie the campers) more time to make arrangements.”

The campers, torn between compliance, the need for time and, in many cases, abject poverty, are still explor-ing options at their semi-weekly meetings while simultaneously holding garage sales, mentally detaching from the community and seeking new resi-dences.

The Beecher Bay First Nation is exploring a partnership with the David Butterfield of the Trust for Sustainable Development. A sepa-rate vote by the band members will first need to be held before enter-ing into any contract.

Previous attempts by Beecher Bay First Nation to develop have been entertained in 2010, when Beecher Bay proposed to bring in a destination resort and casino; in 2011, a “Garbage to Gas” proj-ect; and again in 2012, when there was talk of a Fish Hatchery.

On July 30, 2013, the Sooke Fire Rescue Department responded to one of the largest structure fires in the District of Sooke in many years. Unfor-tunately, the fire has destroyed the work-places of several major businesses.

On behalf of the Dis-trict of Sooke and coun-cil, I extend our sincere wishes for a speedy restoration to the Royal Bank, HUB Inter-national - Barton Insur-ance, Carol Cave Dance Studio, Sooke News Mirror and Zycomp Systems Limited.

I would like to thank everyone who came to our aid that day.

Otter Point, East Sooke, Metchosin, Lang-ford and Shirley fire departments and the Sooke RCMP who con-tinue to investigate the cause of the fire. Also the Provincial Ambulance Service, Mainroad Contracting and district staff for managing the detour of traffic from Sooke Road. To all the businesses who offered the fire-fighters water, food and hot drinks, and people from all over Sooke who came to help in

any way they could. A special thanks to the firefighters. The major-ity of the approximately 45 firefighters and fire support workers there that day were volun-teers. These volun-teers are the ones who

spend countless hours in practice each week preparing for some-thing like this, so hats off and a big thank you from the community.

Thank you.Mayor Wendal

Milne

On July 31, 2013 the Evergreen Mall located at 6660 Sooke Road, Sooke was partially destroyed by fire.

The incident is being investigated by the RCMP Island District General Investigative Services as an arson.

The RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance to help solve this crime. Specifically, the RCMP are interested in identi-

fying two potential wit-nesses who were seen in the area of the fire during the early morn-ing hours of Tuesday, July 31, 2013.

The first potential witness was observed on Anna Marie Drive in Sooke riding a moun-tain bike at approxi-mately 4:45 a.m. This individual is described as a 20 to 30-year-old male wearing dark

shorts, a dark shirt (which may have white colourings in the shoul-der area) and wearing a dark-coloured helmet with face shield.

The second potential witness was observed in the alley behind Western Foods at about 5:15 a.m. This individ-ual is described as a male, wearing “profes-sional looking clothes” including a longer coat.

The male was smoking a cigarette while stand-ing beside a vehicle that may have been, or is similar in style to, a Toyota Camry.

The police are look-ing to speak to these potential witnesses and ask that anyone with any information on this incident call the Sooke RCMP or Crime Stop-pers at 1- 800-222-8477 (TIPS).

A Sunday school picnic in 1955In 1955 the bleach-

ers at the Sooke Community Flats

looked like this, and on a sunny day, June 24, the Anglican Church held their congrega-tional picnic. Back in those days, when we had perhaps 25 per-cent of the population that calls Sooke home today, a picnic at the Sooke Flats was an event the youngsters really looked forward to.

While we believe we have been able to make out many of the names, please forgive our errors and correct any mistakes or addi-tions for us by calling the museum.

In the row second from back, we see Mrs. Peggy Adler, Mrs. Emily Nixon, Mrs. Helene Bar-wis, C. J. Hunter and Mrs. Hunter, Jim Law and Mrs. Amy Law.

Sooke is one amazing community. I came here just over eight years ago as a reporter and was then appointed editor. I always thought my stay here would be a few years and then I would be off to another gig in another town or city. Somewhere bigger, brighter and more trendy.

As it turned out, that has not been the case. Most of it has been my choice. Sure, there have been times when I was getting a bit bored with the same old, same old, and who wouldn’t. Sooke is not my home town, I wasn’t born here or have the history so many others have.

But, I have embraced this community for a variety of reasons. Some of them are because of the quality of rural life I enjoy at my waterfront home, other reasons are because of the incredible artists who grace and make the area a more beautiful place. They draw their inspiration from the region and I draw my inspiration from them. And one can’t forget about the natural beauty which embraces me every time I look around. I have the best of both worlds. Victoria is a scant 45 minutes

away and I can get my city hit whenever I choose and I get nature at its best in Sooke.

But the biggest reason includes the great friends I have made and the general community of involved and passionate people who choose to live here as well. They volunteer and do for others

without looking for a pat on the back. They do it because they care.

One thing cemented my thoughts about Sooke. Most people are aware that the Sooke News Mirror office building burned on July 31. Fire razed four other business premises as well.

Sooke has some of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever met. It is a

community that looks after its own and doesn’t necessarily call for help from anywhere else, People just respond. Like the firefighters who went above and beyond the call of duty to help save our computers by covering them with tarps while the fire blazed away. No one knew the fire would take over and result in total destruction of the building. They even helped the day after the fire to help us recover what

we could and they didn’t have to.

While doing my job and taking photos of the fire, hugs, condolences, coffee and kind thoughts were given out freely and without any expectation of anything in return. That’s community. It was just such caring actions that made me not just a reporter but a victim of the fire.

I am stoic and can take a lot, but the simple offer of coffee from Wendy Milne got me and I was overcome with emotion. I realized I was a part of this community not just an observer.

Anyone who has been involved in a fire knows how the flames take everything. No discrimination, no picking out what to burn, just all of it. That’s the hard part. We can all replace things, but we can’t replace people and I learned a big lesson through those flames and that is that community and people matter. What I found was a community full of people with big hearts and as a consequence my heart has been opened up as well. Appreciation and respect for the people who make up the community of Sooke is a lesson learned.

Thank you Sooke for showing me your true nature.

2010 WINNER

Fire departments worth every cent

It’s been said in a number of places, but it needs to be said again. We, at the Sooke News Mirror, want to publicly thank the scores of firefighters who came to the fire which destroyed our building. The firefighters from all of the outlying areas, through the district’s mutual aid agreement, didn’t fail us.

Which brings about the whole mutual aid premise, and it’s a good one. This allows smaller communities the ability to afford their fire departments and because large fires happen infrequently, each department does not need every single piece of equipment which may be required. This is a good thing and it works.

But most of all, the local fire department, under the direction of Fire Chief Steve Sorensen, did a remarkable job of not only fighting the fire but of helping out before and after the flames were out. This is what happens in a small community where people matter.

So, when the councils in the future start to question every single line item in the fire department budget, perhaps they should remember what these people do in our community. They risk life and limb to help others and most do so voluntarily. It’s never a pleasant job but it is a necessary one.

The businesses that were impacted by the fire will survive. While rental premises are scarce in Sooke, each one will probably find space somewhere. Our office is now located at the Seaview Business Centre at 6631 Sooke Road.

This is our first issue since the fire and we have managed to pull it off even though we don’t yet have phones, didn’t have any Internet for awhile and barely found a pen or pencil. But, like the postal service, the paper must get out. Thank you to all who helped make our ‘transition’ easier.

I find arson unbeliev-able, they play with fire an they do not think of how they are play-ing with people’s lives, lively hood. so many jobs lost due to really really sick minds...

Diane Caravello

My heart is broken for Sooke and the busi-nesses that were dam-aged and/or lost in this horrific fire.

Fran Anderson

OMG! What a wicked fire! I hope the surveil-lance cameras will help to catch the bug-gers. Sad to think that 40 to 50 years of his-tory/news has been destroyed.

Teresa Martin

Can they save ANY-THING from sooke news? other then smoke and water can they salvage some-thing? feeling hopeful.

Cherie LaBrash

Out of the ashes there maybe some new hope, take colwood mall for example it burned down yrs ago. In a few years it’ll be renewed to it’s former Glory . It happens maybe they’ll catch whoever did it though, and they can explain why to the citi-zens of Sooke.

Jay Morran

I hope all the people and businesses affected can get back on their feet quickly.

Stick In The Mud Coffee House

The love & support this community has for one another is amazing! Us girls from Hub Bar-ton Insurance definitely

appreciate it! We will temporarily

be working from our Colwood office until we are rebuilt (hopefully in less then a month). Our phone line has been forwarded to Colwood.

Megan Linford

Sooke is a resilient town we will always rebuild and help or neighbors. This is a horrifying thing to think it was deliberately set. The only thing good out of this is no human life was lost due to this. A big thank you to our Sooke Fire department and the others that came out to help.

Greg Sadler

So sorry for every-one concerned. I hope those people working in those businesses won’t be out of work and without a pay-check! I used to work at the Home Hardware when I llived in Sooke many years ago. So

thankful nobody was hurt. Know the Sooke community will rally around everyone in need; they always do! Hugs to All

Kate VanDewark Plummer

I am again amazed by our volunteer fire fight-ers! So professional. No loss of life or injuries - thank goodness.

Lorna Clark

Can’t complain about the weather

Since the weather has become non-Sooke like (and divine), I must find other sub-jects of complaint, tar-gets of convenience, as our government has covertly termed inva-sive/abrasive actions,

incidents/opinions.Are we awaiting a

fatality before a traf-fic circle is installed at the entrance to Shop-pers, Western Foods, the medical center, and others? Traffic circles have been around since covered wagon days: not exactly an unknown concept, and while cheaper in

the long run and more attractive than street-lights, it could be a thing of beauty — with possibly a flag or pin-nace denoting our nationalism from a cen-trally mounted pole.

Oh, and what about the bloody vermin-rid-den deer that consume our gardens in a time when we are encour-

aged to economize and grow our own local veggies?

Is there a culling pro-gram, or must we wait for the natural seven-year disease die-off?

Mayhap some natu-ralist source could fur-nish them with lem-ming lessons, but then that would reduce the tick count, weakening

the “natural selection” pattern.

Oh, and one more item: a gripe actually against people who cross at the flash-equipped crosswalks — without pressing the button, busy with their cellphone, book, and in a lot of instances, mut-tering incoherently to themselves while they casually stroll the bum-per zone?

Help me understand!Rod Hulme

Sooke

We asked: How do you think the fire at 6660 Sooke Rd will affect Sooke?

RBC has been here for years. It will affect Sooke in a big way. It’s pretty bad for local busi-

nesses.

Ken Dobbs Sooke

It will be horrible for a lot of peo-ple working in these businesses.

Anne Cox Sooke

It's going to be terrible for Sooke. I'm sad because they

believe it might be arson.

Tara Pugh Sooke

People are going to have to go into Langford to bank. It’s going to cause hiccups, but the town

will survive.

Fast Forward to Gradua tion Program The full program consists of four academic classes (Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11, Communications 12, English 12, and Social Studies 11) and two electives (Sustainable Resources 12 and Film and Television 12); and to be part of this program, students may enrol in as little as one to all of these courses. This is a program for all types of learners. The classes are smaller, and the room provides an amicable, businesslike atmosphere, much like an office or workplace. Despite any apprehensions students may have about coming back to school, if they are committed and motivated, Fast Forward is the right place to get it done.

“ My philosophy is that under the right circumstance, anybody can learn virtually anything. I love my job and find it all the more rewarding when students start seeing the value of school. I guarantee that if you’re dedicated and want to graduate, I’ll be there to help you do it every step of the way.”

– Andrew Still

What the Students say- This is not just a place to come to school and be unnoticed. This is

a place where people make you feel welcome no matter the age - anything you need, these people will find a way to help you. Thank you Andrew, and all of the WestShore Annex Staff!

- WestShore made what seemed impossible, easy.

- [Fast Forward] is a top-notch program; whoever needs to get Grade 12 has a golden opportunity here at WestShore.

- I would recommend this program due to the amazing environment it provides.

Fast Forward to Gradua tion Program The full program consists of four academic classes (Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11, Communications 12, English 12, and Social Studies 11) and two electives (Sustainable Resources 12 and Film and Television 12); and to be part of this program, students may enrol in as little as one to all of these courses. This is a program for all types of learners. The classes are smaller, and the room provides an amicable, businesslike atmosphere, much like an office or workplace. Despite any apprehensions students may have about coming back to school, if they are committed and motivated, Fast Forward is the right place to get it done.

“ My philosophy is that under the right circumstance, anybody can learn virtually anything. I love my job and find it all the more rewarding when students start seeing the value of school. I guarantee that if you’re dedicated and want to graduate, I’ll be there to help you do it every step of the way.”

– Andrew Still

What the Students say- This is not just a place to come to school and be unnoticed. This is

a place where people make you feel welcome no matter the age - anything you need, these people will find a way to help you. Thank you Andrew, and all of the WestShore Annex Staff!

- WestShore made what seemed impossible, easy.

- [Fast Forward] is a top-notch program; whoever needs to get Grade 12 has a golden opportunity here at WestShore.

- I would recommend this program due to the amazing environment it provides.

The Pastor's PenA major theme in Christianity is that of eternal life, eternal

happiness, being one with God. For many it is their major source for learning about happiness. Unlike any other system on this earth, this religion sets out to teach us how to live, make choices and come to good decisions. And regardless of how may other systems religion has, it is not about governance nor economic security nor inter-cultural relationships nor national growth.

No, the institution of Christianity makes happiness its primary focus and takes it quite seriously. Aristotle insisted that the very essence of life is meaning and purpose; Christianity claims that is exactly what it is all about.

As Christians, it is our religion that shapes our attitudes, directs us to elements of life that we should be developing. But while it can set out to develop us as moral agents and spiritual adults, it can also suppress the religious imagination to the point of making us slaves to religion. So it is our challenge to cultivate within ourselves the ability to distinguish one response from another. It calls us to grow both psychologically whole and philosophically astute.

What Christianity teaches us about happiness and how we can achieve it will, in the end, shape our very notions of life and growth. More than that, perhaps, it has the capacity to lead us

through the darkness of pain and enable us to recognize pleasures that offer more than dulling boredom or inadequate and immature spiritual development.

As Holy Trinity Anglican Church celebrates its 100th anniversary this month it is our hope that we will continue to inspire people so they can find wholeness and thereby achieve happiness as well.The Revs. Alex and Nancy

Nagy, Holy Trinity

Sheila Dobie(nee Kill) Jan 09, 1936 – 23 July 2013

Sheila Dobie nee Kill aka Mummy, Gma, or Pud to her late husband, died of natural causes. Born in the seaside community of Porthcawl, Wales, Sheila moved to a London suburb with her family, just as war brides and children were being evacuated to Wales. Sheila emigrated to Canada with her family in 1949, landing in Halifax and travelling by train across the country to the booming metropolis of Terrace in northwestern B.C. In her own words, she thought of it as “…a real adventure – like a Western movie, with loggers rather than cowboys.” Sheila attended Normal School in Victoria and taught early years for a year. “Not my thing” she wrote recently. Joined the RCAF as a met tech at age 19 and married an airman. They were posted many places across Canada, including Churchill, MB, famous for polar bears. They were married for almost 54 years until George’s death in 2010. She and George moved to Prince Rupert in 1966. They loved living in Rupert and were very involved in community activities. Sheila was a key player in the NDP’s successful bid to form the first B.C. NDP government in 1972, having been campaign manager for the Skeena Riding candidate, while living in Prince Rupert B.C. Sheila joined the Highways Ministry as a “spin doctor” (her words again). One of her most relished stories was having closed the Lion’s Gate Bridge with virtually no one noticing. In 1980 Sheila achieved a lifelong desire and completed her degree in history at UVIC, and then she and George took a year off to travel across the country. They eventually returned to Vancouver Island and settled in Sooke, B.C. on a wooded acreage with a salmon stream at the edge of the property. They stayed 30 years. Sheila loved to cook and bake, a family favourite being her dinner buns. She enjoyed gardening, reading, crosswords and spending time on the computer, having been an early adopter of the technology. Sheila was a storyteller, had a penchant for lists, and she and George spent many happy times hiking and camping in B.C., Alberta and beyond. Despite having thought she didn’t care for cats, Sheila learned otherwise when she finally allowed a kitten to come to live with the family once she and George owned their own home. Sheila was smitten; for the next 45 years she and George always had one or more cats in the house. Sheila had just moved to Somerset House, but despite enjoying the meals and amenities she found it too much of a pampered lifestyle for her. She was happy and very much looking forward to moving to a lovely cottage with her own garden just up the street from her daughter. Sheila’s influence, wit, strength and support will be missed. She was so proud of her family, especially that all of her grandchildren have achieved, or are in the process of completing their degrees or doing something they love. Predeceased by dearest husband George, parents John and Alice, sisters Eileen and Barbara, and grandson Benjamin. Survived by daughters, Karen and Alison; grandchildren, Joy (Allan), Rachel, Logan, Elizabeth (Ben), Lucas and Zoe; great grandson, Connor; sister, Molly, sister-in-law Louisa; Brother-in-law Fred; nieces and nephews and Zeke the cat. Natural interment at Woodlands, Royal Oak Burial Park adjacent to George, celebration of life was held July 26, 2013.

Personal reasons to ride

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Everyone has their own personal reasons for riding in the Tour de Rock.

All three of the Saanich Police Department’s members have witnessed loved ones fight cancer, and all three have felt the pain of losing loved ones to the disease.

For Const. Doug Franklin, he lost a grandfather, two aunts and an uncle on his mother’s side.

For Const. Lisa Bruschetta, she lost a grandmother to complications from throat cancer. Her mother was also twice diagnosed with cancer – and beat it both times, and her close friend just recently completed treatment and is now in remission.

And for civilian employee Kevin Nunn, a British expat, he lost his father to lung and liver cancer hours before he was to get on a flight back to England to be with his dad.

“It’s affected everyone, directly or indirectly. Given the opportunity to make a difference monetarily or emotionally or physically, I had to jump at the chance,” Franklin said, explaining his motivation to ride.

The Saanich bicycle patrol cop has three kids, and says meeting families going through the emotions that come with having a child with cancer has put his life into perspective.

“I thank my lucky stars because

I’m not burdened by the demands of having to care for one of my kids – who are all thankfully healthy. This is my way to give back,” he said.

Bruschetta, a mother of two, isn’t as lucky when it comes to the health of her children. Her eight-year-old son Dominic has neurofibromatosis, a disease that makes him susceptible to growing cancerous tumours under his skin or on his brain.

She’s riding this year to give support to families and health care officials who have given her and her family the love and support they’ve needed.

“I want to give families the same level of support I’ve received. Being in hospitals, being in cancer clinics and seeing how well they’ve taken care of my loved ones, I believe it’s a mirror image of what the Canadian Cancer Society is doing for the children and families who benefit from Tour de Rock,” she said.

Nunn, the equipment manager for Saanich police, holds a special place in his heart for Tour. For the past two years he’s held physically gruelling and financially successful fundraisers to benefit Tour de Rock.

Being named to this year’s team

as a special guest rider has been life-changing. Visiting Camp Goodtimes in July, the camp for kids who’ve been diagnosed with cancer, reaffirmed to him just how good a cause he’s fighting for.

“Going to Camp Goodtimes and seeing children who are going through cancer who actually don’t realize it; they’ve forgotten that they are (going through cancer) because they’re having so much fun being a child,” he said.

This year’s Tour de Rock team is made up of 22 police officers, media riders and special guests.

The team will cycle nearly 1,100 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria Sept. 21 to Oct. 4 raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes.

All three Saanich riders say their experiences up to this point in their lives – as parents, as police officers, as former military men (both Franklin and Nunn) – haven’t prepared them for the emotions they’ll feel on Tour.

“I think that the riding is honestly going to be our easy part. I think meeting these children and families – their stories, that’s where we’re going to need to prepare ourselves,” Bruschetta said. “I’m a very emotional person, so that’s going to involve keeping my focus positive and giving out as many hugs as I can.”

“I’m a strong person,” Nunn added. “I did 22 years of the British Forces, so I’ve seen a lot of trauma, a lot of pain throughout the world. But this is something different. This is about children. This is something special.”

2013 Sooke Farm Tour: Barefoot and loving itPirjo RaitsSooke News Mirror

Amy Rubidge is carrying on a legacy left

by the pioneer Poirier family — she’s farm-ing. Rubidge and her partner Matt Saxelby are running Barefoot Farm on Kemp Lake Road. The couple is one of a growing num-ber of young farmers who see a different way of life for their family. The farm is part of the original Poirier prop-erty and the house they live in now is built on the foundation of the house which was built in 1895 in the village of Sooke and later barged by scow to the farm on Kemp Lake Road. Six kids were raised in that house where Poirier made a living raising sheep and growing potatoes. Now a new generation of farmers iscalling it home.

Rubidge has a small farm on two acres and is working at making a living from it. She pur-chased it in 2007 and has been continually upgrading the land and the produce and prod-ucts she sells. She has chickens which lay dozens of eggs a day and she sells them, as well as fruit, plants and flowers from her farm stand along the road. When she first bought the place there were hundreds of chickens and just the sheer vol-ume of work was too much for a mom with one and three year old

kids. She trimmed the flock to 100 birds giving her more time to diver-sify the farm. She sells her eggs to chefs in the community and to Vil-lage Food Market, as well as at the farm gate.

Visiting her and her

kids on a warm summer afternoon, Amy and the kids were cleaning gar-lic and onions under the shade of an apple tree. It’s a labour of love.

“Things worthwhile take a lot of time,” said

Rubidge.Along with the garlic

and onions, Rubidge also nurtures some heritage apple trees, planted in the last cen-tury. It’s a micro-farm with a little bit of every-thing,

two acres is not large for a farm but she is utilizing it as much as possible. She grew up around avid gardeners and it’s a lifestyle she is familiar with.

“I feel it’s a really great way to bring up

kids. There’s not a lot of downtime, we’re busy in the summer. But, it’s really a lifestyle choice and I appreciate the community around farmers. Small things become special and you appreciate rather than consume,” said Rubidge.

She said her kids are learning math and sci-ence through garden-ing as well as knowing where their food comes from and what it takes to get it on the plate.

A healthy lifestyle and caring for yourself is an important factor at Barefoot Farm, which got it’s name from the fact that Rubidge’s daughter loves to run around barefoot.

The supportive com-munity of farmers in the Kemp Lake area is very much appreciated and they network and teach each other what they know. The local farmers have banded together to hold a farmers’ mar-ket at the Kemp Lake Store on the last Satur-day of the month from May to September.

“There’s a real team aspect in the commu-nity,” she said.

Barefoot Farm will be just one of the stops on the annual Sooke Food CHI Farm Tour, sched-uled for Sunday, August 18 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Stops on the tour in 2013 stretch east from Happy Valley Laven-der and Herb Farm in Metchosin as far west as Silver Cloud Farm on the border between

Shirley and Otter Point. Along the way driv-ers and cyclists are invited to detour to eight other area farm-gates: Eagle Paws Organics, Ragley Farm, Mrs. Lewers Farm-house, T’Sou-ke Nation Ladybug Garden, ALM Organic Farm/Full Cir-cle Seeds, Barefoot Farm, and Tugwell Creek Farm & Meadery.

Everyone is invited to bring a stack of shopping bags to carry home fruit, veggies, plants, take-and-bake pies, jams and jellies, free-range eggs, col-lector daylillies, dried lavender, cosmetics, bottles of mead and other tasty takeaway products available for purchase at the height of the growing season.

Food will be available at two stops – Ragley Farm and ALM Organic Farm – and five of our farms have level ter-rain and accessible pathways suitable for special-needs visitors. Tickets are available now at the Sooke Coun-try Market on Satur-days.

The Farm Tour ($12 per adult; free for kids 12 and under) high-lights working farms featured in the latest edition of Food CHI’s annual Food & Farm Guide. The event is a fundraiser for a variety of Food CHI commu-nity initiatives, which include the Sunriver Community Garden and the Sooke Farmer-2Farmer Network.

Part two: A few more titles for a good read this summer.

Unlikely Love Sto-ries

by Mike McCardellHarbour Publishing317 pages, hard cover

Another homey look at the people who catch the fancy of master sto-ryteller Mike McCardell. McCardell has a talent for making even the small-est, sometimes unno-ticeable moments ones of importance. They are vignettes of life and love as he sees it. — they are real life, real people told in McCardell’s own style. He observes and he lis-tens and then he writes.

He tells one story of the declaration of the Sun Yat-sen Garden in Vancouver as a national monument by federal dignitaries. They give long speeches and admired the gardens with words but never ventured out into what they were honouring. McCardell is good at seeing the irony and recognizing puffed up bureaucrats for what they are. His humour is tongue-in-cheek, but it is also about truth and speaks to the magic of the human character.

McCardell has trav-elled a long road through many newsrooms to get

to this place where he can write about the sto-ries that never make the headlines but have an importance far beyond the everyday niceties. They are about those unique ordinary people who have so much to teach us.

Unlikely Love Stories is the eighth book by McCardell and contains 75 stories about love. These stories have a way of making you feel a part of the world we live in and make you want to explore in the way McCa-rdell does — with an open mind and an open heart.

Fishing the CoastA Life on the Waterby Don PepperHarbour Publishing223 pages, paperback

Success in commercial fishing is dependent on a variety of factors, nature, fish, boats, economics and technology as well as the unreliable runs of fish.

Fishing is a complex occupation and author Don Pepper talks about the boats, the various jobs on those boats, fish-ing communities and all other aspects of this busi-ness which is fraught with danger, poor runs and sketchy boats.

A life on the water is exactly what this book is about. Pepper tells sto-ries of the characters he met and the experiences

he was privy to. A lot has changed since he caught his first fish out of Alert Bay in 1941. His life was the life of a fisherman, he made seine nets and has seen the fisheries from both the beach and the wheelhouse.

Pepper remembers fishing as it was in the old days and brings an insider’s view to the busi-ness. His stories become a historical perspective on the way fishing used to be, before the introduc-tion of modern technol-ogy. He fished with his wits and knowledge of the sea and the fish in it. As his friend and captain said, “You have to know where the fish aren’t.” It’s a good read and provides many insights into the world of fishing.

If Stephen Hume wasn’t writing about places in British Colum-bia, he could easily be a master story teller. Well, in fact he is. While he is passionate about the geography, he is equally passion-ate about the people he meets and the sto-ries they have to tell.

One story, The Light-house Keeper’s Daugh-ter, talks of a life on lighthouses and their importance to those who go out to the sea in boats.

Hume takes us on a energetic hike into the wilderness of his expe-rience. He carves out the essence of those places and delivers it to us in eloquent words. He makes you want to go and explore this province and decry the loss of treasured places and the people who also love the edges of civilization.

A Small Death on Whiffin Spit is about seabirds dying from an oil spill and the story speaks of the risk to wildlife and eventually you and I.

Hume contemplates the natural world and our place in it through his walk with the rainy sisters. He makes us fall in love with land at

the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

Loving hands stitch Sooke Fall Fair quiltSooke Quilters presented this year’s handmade quilt to Sooke Fall Fair Association for their annual raffle. It is presently on display at The Reading Room Bookstore.


The garden is abun-dant with greens and peas and the raspber-ries are ready along with the strawberries.

Local lettuces and salad mixes are fresh and sweet with just the right amount of rain and sunshine.

Mix your favorite salad mix with some chopped edible pod peas, chopped dill or/and basil and top off with your favorite dressing.

Following is a recipe for raspberry vinegar. Mix with a little olive oil and spread over your salad or put 1/3 rasp-berry vinegar in a cup and add hot water for a lovely hot drink.

Raspberry vinegarFill a sterilzed jar 3/4

full with raspberries and 1/2 cup sugar. Add enough white wine vin-egar to totally cover the raspberries. Stir, gently to dissolve the sugar.

Let the jar sit in the window for one week. Strain the vinegar and bottle the vinegar in your favorite bottles.

Even your children will enjoy the salad with the pretty pink, tasty dressing.

Garden bounties at Markets

Basil Butter4 tbsp. chopped basil

leaves, 2 cloves garlic, 1/c c. softened butter, freshly ground pepper to taste. Put all ingre-dients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Chill in a small crock or double the recipe and freeze some in your ice cube trays and then put them in a bag in the freezer. You can use olive oil in place of the butter if you like. It keeps in the fridge for a week or so. Use a dollop on hamburger, steaks, lamb or fish.

Simple Tomato and

Basil Salad6 ripe tomatoes, 3

tbsp. olive oil, 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, freshly ground black pepper( to taste), 1/2 c. finely chopped basil leaves. Mix oil, vinegar and pepper and pour over chopped toma-toes and basil . Let sit for 30 minutes so the flavor is absorbed. You may also add freshly chopped cucumbers if you like or just make with cucumbers. Add feta cheese for a little extra touch as well.

Part two: A few more titles for a good read this summer.

Unlikely Love Sto-ries

by Mike McCardellHarbour Publishing317 pages, hard cover

Another homey look at the people who catch the fancy of master sto-ryteller Mike McCardell. McCardell has a talent for making even the small-est, sometimes unno-ticeable moments ones of importance. They are vignettes of life and love as he sees it. — they are real life, real people told in McCardell’s own style. He observes and he lis-

tens and then he writes.He tells one story of

the declaration of the Sun Yat-sen Garden in Vancouver as a national monument by federal dignitaries. They give long speeches and admired the gardens with words but never ventured out into what they were honouring. McCardell is good at seeing the irony and recognizing puffed up bureaucrats for what they are. His humour is tongue-in-cheek, but it is also about truth and speaks to the magic of the human character.

McCardell has trav-elled a long road through many newsrooms to get to this place where he can write about the sto-ries that never make the headlines but have an importance far beyond the everyday niceties. They are about those unique ordinary people who have so much to teach us.

Unlikely Love Stories is the eighth book by McCardell and contains 75 stories about love. These stories have a way of making you feel a part of the world we live in and make you want to explore in the way McCa-rdell does — with an

open mind and an open heart.

Fishing the CoastA Life on the Waterby Don PepperHarbour Publishing223 pages, paperback

Success in commercial fishing is dependent on a variety of factors, nature, fish, boats, economics and technology as well as the unreliable runs of fish.

Fishing is a complex occupation and author Don Pepper talks about the boats, the various jobs on those boats, fish-ing communities and all other aspects of this busi-ness which is fraught with danger, poor runs and sketchy boats.

A life on the water is exactly what this book

is about. Pepper tells sto-ries of the characters he met and the experiences he was privy to. A lot has changed since he caught his first fish out of Alert Bay in 1941. His life was the life of a fisherman, he made seine nets and has seen the fisheries from both the beach and the wheelhouse.

Pepper remembers fishing as it was in the old days and brings an insider’s view to the busi-ness. His stories become a historical perspective on the way fishing used to be, before the introduc-tion of modern technol-ogy. He fished with his wits and knowledge of the sea and the fish in it. As his friend and captain said, “You have to know where the fish aren’t.” It’s a good read and provides many insights into the world of fishing.
