The votes came in pretty quickly for the mayoral and council candidates in Sooke on Saturday night.
The cheers could be heard from the din-ing room at the Sooke Legion when the first results came in from the polling station shortly after the polls closed. Maja Tait hand-ily won the seat from her former councillor colleague Herb Hal-dane.
The race was deemed to be a tight one and nerves were evident throughout the cam-paign, but the numbers told another story.
Its pretty over-whelming, said Tait.
Tait won 66 per cent of the votes, with Hal-dane running at 33 per cent. Distant in the pack was David Shebib with one per cent of the votes.
Tait was acclaimed mayor with 2,527 votes to Haldanes 1,263. She-bib got 26 votes.
Tait said winning wasnt about one per-son, it was about so many coming together.
Joining Tait at the council table will be incumbents Bev Berger, Rick Kasper, Kevin Pearson and Kerrie
Reay. Ebony Logins will serve her first term as councillor and Brenda Parkinson will serve her second. Parkinson served on Sooke coun-cil from 2008-2011.
Voter turnout stood at 41.5 per cent, slightly lower than the 2011 turnout at 41.9 per cent.
When asked how she felt on Sunday morning, Tait said, Im pretty excited, its just sinking in. She said that with the incumbents elected there is support for the strategic plan and they will be looking at this. She said there was a lot done and now the ques-tion was how to start building on it.
When talking about the questions on the ballot in regard to a community facility and opposition to increased tanker traffic, Tait said there was solid support on a community facility as well as a new prior-ity - the environment.
She said the message here was to give more consideration to our environment.
We live in a beauti-ful place and what the question reminded us of through discussion is how tourism is a good employer. We are well situated for that, said Tait.
She wants to be able to connect with the
people of Sooke and to put some importance on that.
Team building is a big exercise, said Tait.
We will pick up the reins and off we go - then set priori-
ties. Now is the time to mend fences and build bridges. Council repre-sents the entire com-munity. Its over and here we are, she said.
Tait said that Wen-dal Milnes endorse-
ment helped as he was well-respected in the community. She said they originally came together on opposite sides and gradually as they grew up a little they met here.
We formed a good relationship - thats what good leadership is about. I want to be true to that.
When asked why she ran she said it was because Wendal Milne wasnt running again and she would have supported him.
I served two terms and it was time to step forward.
She said her job allows her to be flexible and the mayor needs to be out in the com-munity.
Herb Haldane said after the election, I would like to thank those that helped me and supported me in this election. I will con-tinue my close friend-ship with Maja Tait and hope she can find the time to do the job. She is very capable but I do think that more time will be required to gov-ern efficiently.
I will be focusing on other community activities and little gov-ernment at this time. I am confident that my services and knowl-edge will be missing at the table as I was very engaged and dedicated to a quality job as a councillor. I will main-tain my sense of duty and dedication to this great community as did many before me. Thank you.

The candidates who won in the District if Sooke municipal elec-tion were asked to make a few comments and they responded with the following statements, in no particular order.
Some answers were in the form of an e-mail, others were stated on election night.
Ebony Logins First time councillorThe love and sup-
port Ive felt over the past few months is indescribable. You may know by now that Im always up for a good challenge. This will be a great term and more than anything, I look forward to sharing all I learn with youth in Sooke!
I am pleased that both plebiscite ques-tions were passed with a Yes vote. By work-ing with an experienced team and excellent leader, I know we will accomplish many great things for the Sooke region. Thank you.
Rick KasperIncumbentThe voters are
always right. I want to
congratulate everyone that ran. It was a great flushing out of ideas and public debate.
I am excited for Sooke and especially for the youth. The new coun-cil will work together to work on various com-munity projects: road, trails and downtown core.
One thing i guaran-tee: in four years peo-ple will not recognize the downtown core with sidewalks, bike trails and more.
Thankyou!
Bev BergerIncumbentI am extremely grate-
ful to have the opportu-nity to serve on council for a third term.
Sooke truly is a slice of paradise, I feel confi-dent that we have some solid plans in place to move our community forward.
This council will be tasked with some tough decisions regarding our contracted services; we will have to look at what is financially best for our town.
Going forward I would like to continue my work with the SEAPARC board. Rec-reation for all ages in an integral part of com-munity. I would also like to have the oppor-
tunity to be a voice at the CRD board, Sooke only has one vote at the table and I feel that my experience has given me incite with how dynamic that group can be.
I feel strongly that a diverse, experi-enced, and community minded council will succeed and I think we have that.
Thank you.
Kevin PearsonIncumbentThe results were
interesting. The mes-sage Ive taken away is five of six from local
government were returned. Herb is out and Wendal stepped out, the mesage is that Sooke is happy with the current directuon.
Asked if he would do anything differently, he said he would be just a little more agile to change and take the cues and make the changes. He said he has no regrets stating that the first three years were a learning exer-cise.
Hopefully Ive built on the experience Ive got.
He said he did not regret not running for
mayor, stating it was a personal choice for his personal life. I think Sookes chosen wisely, thats what democracy is all about.
Kerrie ReayIncumbentI think it was a
great response and Im pleased with how many got out to vote. Theres a message and I think its a great mes-sage. The community is not just looking for business, its looking for creativity and inno-vation.
Would I do anything different?
Theres always a les-son to be learned.
What she said she learned was she wont be supporting motions on the fly because it mires council and delays decision mak-ing.
If she has any regrets it is that she feels the last council did not do enough community consultation
She feels more public forums are necessary.
Brenda ParkinsonPrior councillorParkinson said she
was a little disap-pointed that a couple of candidates didnt get in.
I would have liked to see them in, she said. Itll be fine with whos there, well work together.
Would she do any-thing different?
We worked really hard on the campaign, we had a great team, support from family and friends. Im happy with the outcome and the work we did.
No regrets, she said, Im happy I ran and made it, we had the perfect team.
The new council will be sworn in on Decem-ber 1.

garbage please. once or twice a year, I like to remind everyone to go through their medicine cabinet and check for any outdated medications.
Most medications become less effective after the suggested expiration date, however there are a few that may become toxic. also it is a good idea not to take any prescription medication that was prescribed long ago... they may interact with medications that you may be using now. remember to think about the environment when disposing expired medications. tablets, capsules, and most liquids can be taken to your pharmacy to be destroyed properly.
Make sure to take any tablets or capsules out of blisters before bringing them to the pharmacy... this helps with the disposal process.

11th Anniversary for Sookes Vital Vittles Lunches, Friday Nov 21, 2014
On November 21, 2003 the first Vital Vit-tles meal was served in the basement of the old Holy Trinity Church to 25 guests. That first menu included soup and sandwiches, fruit and cupcakes, along with a variety of hot and cold beverages and an opportunity to meet for a while in a warm and safe place.
It was initiated by a diverse group of citi-zens, Rev. Eerkes, Andy Carrier( the Pizza Man) Leo Myers, Lynda Rose, Bill (the sign maker) and a few others, who recognized that there was a need to serve a simple nutritious meal to those who might not otherwise have one, all provided for free and without question.
We are thankful for those who brought the vision to life and faith-fully administered it. The many volunteers, past and present who have given their energy and skills, along with the Coordinators: Lynda Rose (2003-5), Shirley Roodbol (2005-12), Deacon Wally Eamer (2012-14), and Pam Day (2014- pres-ent) who have guided the program and con-tinued the Vision.
The food is served without ceremony to about 60 guests each Friday. People are totally accepted here. It is a deliberately non-denominational event with an emphasis on serving a wide range of people, young and old, with compassion and human fellow-ship. The program was designed to embrace the whole community, pulling together differ-ent people who might not otherwise have an opportunity to meet one another. Guests and volunteers develop friendships and under-standing as a by-prod-uct of sharing a meal together.
The menu has grown a bit over the years to provide a salad and a hot meal in addition to the soup and dessert, thanks to the support of our faithful and gen-erous donors, and our
terrific dedicated group of volunteers.
Right from its first year we have received great support from the whole community, especially from Andy the Pizza Man who provides salad fixings every week, and the special treat of piz-zas once a month. In addition we gratefully
received ongoing sup-port of various kinds and are indebted to several anonymous donors, Sun River Com-munity Gardens, Mus-tard Seed Food Bank, Celtic Circle Sooke, MLA John Horgan, Rotary Club, TSou-ke Band, Village Foods, Western Foods, Vienna Bakery, Reading Room
Cafe, CASA, Sooke Food Chi, The Sooke News Mirror and the Voice newsletter.
We are thankful for this community of Sooke, and for the Par-ish of Holy Trinity who continues to support us by providing a warm and safe environment for Vital Vittles.

The Outdoor Guy: On birds and gratitude
Michael Kedge photo
Past, present, future
Mayors from over the past 10 years were together at the celebration of the Sookes newest mayor Maja Tait.
Janet Evans, right, served 12 years on council, six as mayor; Wendal Milne spent three years in the mayors chair and Maja Tait, left, will take the municipal reins on December 1.
Being in the for-est inspires our imagination. It stimulates our senses and helps shake off depression and anxi-ety. Then again so does reading a good book like the Hunger Games or To Kill a Mock-ing Bird. Harper Lee had her Mocking Bird while Suzanne Collins
who wrote the Hunger Games has the Mocking Jay. These birds don`t live around here. But as you explore the Cedar Grove, Roche Cove and Matheson Lake trails you may see or hear migrating ducks, such as red-breasted mergansers, Barrows golden-eye or buffle-heads. The only mock-ing you might hear is from your friends if you don`t bring some decent boots. It`s pretty wet through the Cedar Grove trail this time of year but worth it.
There is a seem-ingly placid stillness at Cedar Grove but a sub-lime patient movement is unfolding. Nature is growing, slowly and happily here. Nature moves a little bit each day and some of the cedars have been
expanding towards the horizon for last 500 years. The nuances of the West Coast weather have provided a spec-tacular combination of plants like mosses and lichen licorice and ferns to flourish through Cedar Grove.
Listening to the for-est reminds me to not only open my ears and hope to hear the flute whistle of a western meadowlark but also to keep our hearts open. When our hearts are open and when were in that moment, you know the one, where you feel connected and the energy flows through you, its pretty special and you can feel that here.
If you have time and a sense of wonder there is a vast sweep of nature at Roche Cove,
10 minutes from Gil-lespie Road on the left. The crooked smile start of the trailhead is on the left side of the Gallop-ing Goose parking lot. From there its a mod-erate climb for about five minutes and then the trail flattens out. The trail is well marked but at one important junction its not. Stay right at the 1.5 km mark and the trail will start to ramble down to the Galloping Goose trail. From this access point you can take a right and be back at your car in about 45 minutes. If you go left, you can walk down the trail and meet up with the Matheson Lake Park, then this just turned into a two- hour adventure.
As I walk through the forest I think back to what my teachers
taught me; that the mockingbird and the mocking jay are the key metaphors in both the Hunger Games and To Kill a Mockingbird. The birds represent help-ing those who can`t help themselves. This is true, but to me, they represent freedom, music and nature. These three things Cedar Grove and places like this around Sooke offer up daily for free.
Today isnt just another day its a gift and the appropriate response in receiving any gift is the feeling of gratefulness, my dogs are great teachers for this. They act as though today is their first and their last day.

Wild and Cultured: Musings from the GreenMan
Disclaimer: this arti-cle is meant to provoke insight into the many uses and mysteries of the mushrooms that live among us. It is not an invitation to experi-ment into the potentially lethal ingestion of some of the mushrooms men-tioned. Consult with a experienced guide, and not merely a book or website when attempt-ing to identify species for consumption.
Meaty, medici-nal, mysti-c a l m a d -dening mushrooms. The allure of the mush-room in our Southern Vancouver Island rain forest climes capti-vates our deepest ani-mal impulses.When on the hunt, the crazed mushroom eyes kick inthe body becomes enveloped by an extra-sensory perception of sorts. Perhaps it is an invisible whiff of a cloud of spores on the air that alerts us to our moss-concealed cous-ins of the Fungi King-dom. Whatever one may call it, this mush-room craze may be felt as a benign form of madness.
Then againmaybe not. Some Viking war-riors of old would froth into a mad dog frenzy after reportedly con-suming a brew ofAma-nita Muscaria. Storm-ing battlefield in a wild fury, they were deemed invulnerable to attack. Hence the name, Beserkers, who would curdle the blood of the all-too-sober enemies of these insane warriors.
On the other hand, this same species of mushroom also divined us the gifts and giver in Old St. Nick, or Santa Claus. This beloved jolly figure resembles the Amanita Muscaria, or Fly Aga-ric mushroom, both of whom are portly, jolly and brightly coloured in red and white. The mushrooms were dried and hung by the stock-ings near the fire place or on trees as orna-ments. This entheo-genic (generating the divine within) fungi is thought to have given rise to the sto-ries of flying reindeer, Christmas trees, magi-
cal elves, and chim-ney sliding in relation to the partaking of the shroom.
Deeper into this his-tory of the Fly Agaric we discover the magical worlds of the Siberian shaman who entered states of non-ordinary consciousness in order to promote healing, bal-ance and well being in the community. This
sacred madness is bound deeply to the power-animal relation-ship that the shamans had with the reindeer, who incidentally loved to eat the mushrooms as well, leading them to prance and trance about wildly.On
Dasher, on Dancer on Prancer on Vixen!!
The kindred kind of the Amanita range from the scale of choice edible Amanita cae-sarea, to the not so subtle devastatingly poisonous Destroy-ing Angel and Death Cap.
Know thy mush-rooms! a Delphic Ora-cle once whispered into the ears of an initiate in the hove-trodden woods of Pan and the Greenman. We may as well throw in know thy trees, as mush-rooms are often found in a symbiotic jive with chosen species of their arboreal cousins.
On edibility, the mushroom is often said to have a meaty texture and umami taste: the taste bud sensation coined by the Japanese which is said to havea pleasant brothy or meaty taste with an enduring, mouthwatering and coating sensation over the tongue.
Wild mushrooms transcend the tasty but domesticated and monoculturedAgaricus bisporusof the grocery store variety. Porto-bellos are merely over-sized versions of this same tame species.
Both the scarcity and wildness of the choice edibles makes them a
rare treat to the cul-tured palate and gut. Gastronomically speak-ing, Lions Mane, Chan-terelles, Cauliflower, Porcinis, Oysters, Lob-sters and Morels have no equal on the hum-drum shelves of the shop. These names may sound arcane to the uninitiated in the savoury flavours of fungi, but to those who have ever been tempted by even a mor-sel of the above, there is no turning back to the mundane world of white supermarket mushrooms.
The wild chef pur-sues the delectable edi-ble with reverence and desire. It is this quest for the choice edible that leads the culinary artist to a special kind of madness.When com-bined with the fanatical devotion of the mush-room hunter, the frenzy gets upped a few more notches.

The Amanita Muscaria, above, is considered poisonous and should not be eaten raw. Right, the Wooly chantrelle not a choice edible mush-room.

Q: I recenty lost my mother who was 74 and passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack. I am so happy that, even though she was too young, this is exactly the way she wanted to go. But even knowing this I am really struggling with her loss. Do you have any suggestions for reading, support groups etc.
A: Losing a loved one is never an easy thing to do and although the stages of grief are similar everyone goes through them in their own time and their own way.
After the cards are all open, the guests have gone and the flowers have faded, families are left with the difficult task of recovery in the weeks, months and years following a funeral.
AfterCare is an important free service which we offer to assist the surviving loved ones with practical guidance, literature and emotional support anytime its needed. We can recommend reading material and put you in touch with support groups.
The coming holiday season can be especially challenging and each year we hold a Candlelight Service. An informal, nondenominational service of music, readings and reflection for all ages. We encourage you to come and light a candle in tribute to the loved one you miss, and help fill eht room with the light and warmth of memories. This service will be held on Thursday, December 11th from 7 - 9 pm.
If you have been left the responsibility of finalizing the estate, you may be surprised by the number of details requiring your attention. Struggling with these can cause extra stress. We can provide invaluable insight to help you in your duties.
Please email me ([email protected]) your questions and/or concerns aboutanything and everything to do with before and after death procedures, legalities, traditions etc. and I will do my best to answer them.

Shirley Fire Pro-tection and Emer-gency Response Ser-vices Commission (SFP&ERSC) and Shir-ley Volunteer Fire Department (SVFD) have reached an agree-ment with Al and Linda Morrison, who own the adjacent property to the Shirley Fire Hall, to lease a easement from them at a fair fee for a period of 30 years.
It had to be an ease-ment, as the prov-ince views that leases of bare land over five
years affect the original parcel of land (reducing the area available on a 10-acre parcel to below 10 acres... ).
The area covered on the easement allows SVFD to have access from both Shering-ham Point Road and West Coast Road to the fire hall. This sec-ond access means that we are not as reliant on individuals at Shir-ley Community Hall parking in such a man-ner that we can get fire trucks out in the event
of an emergency. The 2nd access also means it is much easier to get modern fire trucks into our rather cramped hall, said James Pow-ell in an email.
In addition to pro-viding a second access to our hall, there is also an approximate 100 ft x 50 ft area which we can use for practices; such as vehicle extrication,
and fire ground skills development. Without the support of com-munity members, SVFD would be unable to pro-vide fire protection to our community.
SVFD and SFP&ERSC would like to thank Al and Linda for their generous contribution and support to the fire department.

Lets aid not hinder council
The tribe has spoken.If you look at municipal politics as a reality
show, then it becomes obvious that the majority of Sookies voted for a change and one person is in, one person is out. We now have our tribal council for the next four seasons.
The election campaign, like Survivor, was full of maneuvering and gossip. Thinly veiled comments meant to make candidates look less than perfect. All meant to sway the rest of the tribe.
First, no one is perfect. Each of the candidates for mayor came with their pros and cons. Each of them wanted to do the best for Sooke, at least in the way they saw as best, and they should be thanked for the time and effort they put in. It became about the difference in how they saw the community moving forward. Each had the same number of years at the council table and each made decisions at council that were not always favourable to some in the community. Their alliances and supporters rallied and came to the polls and voted in the person who they felt was the best for Sooke at this time. Thats politics. There were upsets all over the place in all the municipalities and that seems to reflect where people are - they want a change.
But, its over and the best thing to do is respect the position and aid not hinder.
Thanks should also be extended to those candidates who wont be taking a seat at the tribal council table. They were also running because they wanted to serve the community. Each of them had qualities and experience which would have been useful and appreciated. It is hoped that they will continue to be a part of the public that speaks out and shares their opinions from the other side of the gallery.
Stay tuned for the premiere of Sookes new tribal council on December 1.
ANOTHER VIEW
B.C. Views
The saddest manifestation of Brit-ish Columbias modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years.
There are still independent, com-munity-minded trustees, but mostly boards of education have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics.
Teacher union locals and CUPE-dominated labour councils orga-nize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the cam-paigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate.
This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trust-ees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesnt give a damn, since school property tax authority was central-ized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special inter-est pressure.
The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from The Godfather as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of edu-cation in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective
financial acumen wasnt up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall.
Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees, Ginter clarified in an interview with the Tri-City News as the unions candidate selection machine stirred to life.
Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldnt refuse on Sat-urday, with formerly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group.
Then theres Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a needs budget ran again.
They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every prob-lem is to shout for more govern-ment funding. They didnt get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years.
That brings up a modest pro-posal. How about an appointed trusteefor each of the60 schooldis-tricts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more?
After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bar-gaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either.
The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disrup-tion, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers.
School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes. (This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.)
Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely.
With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incen-tive to grandstand. And their meet-ings may become something more thanunion beef sessions.

The right to endorse
I have been reading with dismay the efforts by certain individu-als to discredit Mayor Wendel Milne and Councillor Maja Tait for the mayors decision to support Councillor Tait for mayor in this election. It is common practice for an outgo-ing mayor to publicly support his/her choice for the new mayor. In fact, I was surprised three years ago when outgoing Mayor Janet Evans did not put her support behind either candidate.
As anyone who fol-lows local news knows, I levelled a lot of criti-cism towards Mayor Milne and council dur-ing the first two years of the current term, and in my opinion it was mostly deserved. However, I believe Mayor Milne has tried to do the right thing during his last year as mayor, and we indeed have received some needed infrastructure upgrades this year.
I think it is grossly unfair to discredit Mayor Milne and Coun-cillor Tait for purely political reasons. I per-sonally support Mayor Milnes decision to pub-licly declare his choice for Councillor Tait, and would support the right of Mayor Milne to publicly make this deci-sion no matter which candidate he chose.

Find a solution to tanker traffic
On November 12, Awareness Film Night screened the excellent film Stand in which the pristine wilderness of B.C.s West Coast was shown. The film presented the argu-ment that we need to prevent super tankers carrying diluted bitu-men (dilbit) from trav-eling along the coast, as an oil spill would cause irreparable damage to the area and to the live-lihoods and culture of
the people living along the coast.
There was also a plebiscite on our municipal ballot to vote against more super tanker traffic along the B.C. coast.
It is easy to say no, not in my backyard, but it does not solve the problem. Globally, there is a real, genuine need for oil over the next 50 years and more. The current glut of oil supply on the market is a very short-term phenomenon and in the medium and long-term as Middle East and other accessible reserves dwindle, oil from the tar sands will be more cost-effective
and can be much more environmentally safe than alternatives such as drilling in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. In the short-term burn-ing oil for energy is less environmentally dam-aging than coal and as alternative energy sources take over, oil will still be needed for making the many other products derived from it.
It is time to take a stand, and stop the raping of our natural resources for the fur-ther enrichment of a few shareholders and the benefit of foreign countries. It is obvi-ous that the Northern Gateway pipeline built
and operated by a pri-vate company, will not benefit anybody out-side of the corporation and will be inherently a high risk to the environ-ment.
It is time to develop and present alterna-tives that meet the demand for oil while minimizing environ-mental risk and ben-efiting the people of Canada and the rest of the world. One alterna-tive would be to utilize a Crown corporation to refine the bitumen where it is produced, in accordance with strict environmental stan-dards, thus eliminating the risk of transporting highly corrosive, toxic dilbit. Secondly, find an alternative route and port and have a Crown corporation build and operate a pipeline that will minimize the risk to the environment.
Isnt it time to stand up and promote a solu-tion rather than simply fight against the only bad alternative pre-sented to us?

Dispose of carcass properly
On November 15 at approximately 9 a.m. I was walking my dogs up Tregear Road when I noticed one of my dogs pawing and acting kind of funny at some-thing. I went and had a look and to my sur-prise and disgust, there was a deer that had been shot, gutted and skinned laying there in broad view. Whoever did this is very cruel and ignorant for doing this to such a innocent animal.
On top of leaving this animal exposed, they cut off his skinned hind leg and propped it up against a rock and they also took the horns off of this animal. This is not a dumping grounds for this type of behav-iour. There are certain places to take this and dispose of it properly.
What a waste of a good animal. At least you could of kept it at home, hung it up prop-erly and donated the good meat to the food bank, if all you wanted from this animal was its horns. Im sure the food bank could of put the meat to good use as they do have freez-ers and fridges to store meat in.
This has been done quite recently as there are no animal bite marks or turkey vulture marks present.
When I saw this, I notified our new neigh-bours, she told me that her dog found it also maybe a day or two ago. This is very dis-gusting, unsanitary, and unhealthy for peo-ple to see.
What sick demented person would do this? Someone who doesnt give a damn of where they dump their dead animals. How would you like it if I and every-body else from Sooke came and dumped our dead animals on your property? Guess it wouldnt bother you as you dont seem to care as to where you dump your dead animals. Have some respect for other peoples prop-erty.
I couldnt figure out what this horrible smell was until I saw this ani-mal on November 15.

In our own backyard
Id like to respond to some of the con-cerns expressed in Don Browns thoughtful let-ter on oil, super tankers and the risks inherent in oil as fuel.
China is leading the world in the develop-ment of sustainable energy. If Canada does not increase the amount of oil it is supplying to China, the Chinese, while still being able to sustain their current usage, would naturally be more inclined to put energy and money into fast-tracking develop-ment of their sustain-able energy industries, to all of our benefit.
Continuing to extract and transport tar sands or any other oil or frack LNG, on the other hand, is putting some of the most basic con-ditions for human (and all species) survival on the planet at risk.
In the current issue of New International-ist (newint.org), focus-ing on Big Oil RIP? in an article titled Big Oils looming bubble, the writer quotes an article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, inter-national business edi-tor of Britains conser-vative Daily Telegram, as saying, staggering gains in solar power - and soon battery stor-age as well - (threaten) to undercut the oil industry with lightning speed. My guess is that the world energy land-scape will already look radically different in the early 2020s (six or eight years). (italics mine). In a subsequent article he wrote that the oil industry is living on borrowed time.
In September of this year the Rockefeller Foundation, one of the kingpins of the Oil Era, announced that it was divesting from fossil fuels. If, as this infor-mation suggests, fossil fuels, in fact, are living on borrowed time, per-haps we should con-centrate our efforts not on making reforms to oil extraction pro-cesses that, however one looks at them, are still creating or poten-tially creating huge ecological disasters. Rather, let us put tax dollars and create jobs in the fields of sustain-able energy develop-ment and lowering our energy footprint.
Right here in our own backyard would be just fine.
Jo PhillipsOtter Point
Question on polling station
To the election offi-cials and local newspa-pers:
When I voted in the Nov. 15 Sooke election, I was surprised to see that the voting booths were paired, permitting consultation between individuals in neigh-bouring seats.
I believe this was improper and in clear violation of the BC Local Government Act, Section 120 (1), which
reads: While an elec-tor is in a voting com-partment to mark a ballot, no other person may observe or be in a position to observe the ballot being marked.
I believe that the secret ballot is one of the foundations of mod-ern democracy. How can Canada so strongly urge other countries to adopt fair democratic procedures when we do not follow them everywhere ourselves?
I trust that the vot-ers of Sooke resisted the temptation to influ-ence their neighbours or examine their ballots before submission, but I do not see how we can be sure this never hap-pened.
I do not want to cause trouble and hope no person will try to legally challenge the results of the elec-tion. Personally I was pleased with these results and believe they are correct, but I would like to suggest than in future the proper pro-cedures be followed.

Roundabout woes
Once again, I am amazed at the way in which a crazy idea can magically become won-derful. Here we have the out-going mayor, and presumably most,
if not all the previous council, and the Minis-ter of Transportation, waxing poetic about the approval of a new roundabout on Sooke Road across from the entrance to Evergreen Mall. A while back, I wrote about the folly of spending $2 million
for the new connector that goes from nowhere to nowhere, but this roundabout project is much goofier. With the cost of land purchases included this little bit of curvature in the road will cost taxpayers

We are saddened to announce the passing of Walter Bohn, the Patriarch of his still growing family.
Born in the North Sea Island in Wyk auf Fohr, Germany, in1931; Walter immigrated to Canada in 1953 with his young family, first settling in Port Arthur, Ontario, and later to
Vancouver Island to be close to beaches and the sea that he so loved.
Walter was a hard and diligent worker, providing for his family through his sheet metal shop & heating company. He had a strong work ethic but also knew the importance of family and being with his children. Many summer weekends were spent on the shores of Northern Ontario lakes, and many evenings wrestling with his kids on the kitchen floor.
Fishing and hunting were a passion as well as sailing on Lake Superior while they lived in Thunder Bay. He enjoyed salmon fishing and became known for his skill in smoking fish.
Beloved husband, Papa, and Opa, Walter is survived by Gertrud, his wife of 62 years; 8 children: Inga (Rick), Ina (John), Rene (Ed), Ellen, Louise (Tom), Walter (Michelle), Joanne (Howard), Erika (Robert). He also leaves 17 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.
He will be sorely missed.
Walter Bohn
