It’s Canada Day – and there are many reasons to celebrate /9

Sooke fire chief Steven Sorensen was on his way to a meeting at the Otter Point fire hall when he saw columns of smoke bil-lowing out near the Little Vienna Bakery on West Coast Road – a hedge fire was spreading quickly towards the building.
Given a long wave of dry heat moving through B.C., it was one of many fire calls on Thursday. Last Week Sooke firefight-
ers answered 10 calls, four were grass fires.
The majority of calls have been bark mulch and grass fires caused by flicked cigarette butts, Sorensen said, adding that since the dry spell began more than two weeks ago, the fire department averages around three fire calls a day.
“It doesn’t take much in this weather. We got a couple of beach
fires that got away, and our fire numbers are up significantly,” he said. “We’re about six weeks from where we typically are for the dryness. This is like mid-August, so we wonder what mid-August will be.”
Sorensen hopes the campfire ban that took effect on Friday will come as a warning of how dry and volatile the landscape has become.
“If we can prevent even one fire by not having camp fires, that helps,” he said. “I feel bad for people who like to camp, but burn-ing half the town down is not a good option either.”

The pain drivers feel at the pump from high gas prices may soon also come with a jolt of shame for helping destroy the planet.
A proposal gaining momentum with civic leaders in B.C. would see guilt-inducing climate change warn-ing labels slapped on all gas pump handles.
The non-profit group Our Horizon has been advancing the concept on the basis that warnings that graphi-cally show the damage from climate change could nudge motorists to cut their emissions.
It’s inspired by cigarette package warnings that are credited in the decline of smoking and the example warning labels circulated by the group are similar in design.
“Warning: Use of this fuel product contributes to ocean acidification which puts much marine life at risk of extinction,” states one label that comes with images of thriving and dead coral.
Sooke municipal council referred the request to its climate action com-mittee earlier this year, but council hasn’t backed the resolution yet, said Mayor Maja Tait.
West Vancouver council will bring
a resolution before the Union of B.C. Municipalities in September asking the province to make the pump labels a requirement province-wide. The Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities has backed the resolution.
Our Horizon B.C. campaigner Matt Hulse said he believes any municipal-ity could make gas pump labeling a condition for gas stations in its local business licence bylaw.
Local gas distributors would not comment on the proposal, referring questions to corporate offices.
No jurisdiction in Canada has yet made pump warning labels a require-ment. Hulse said the labels would help make the routine act of filling up the tank a choice to be considered more carefully.
“It places responsibility right in the palm of your hand,” Hulse said.
If the concept takes off, he said, specific impact wording and imagery could be developed to tailor the labels to each area.

One of the Capital Regional District’s largest parks just got bigger.
The Sisters of Saint Ann have donated a 23-hectare parcel of land adjacent to East Sooke Regional Park to the Capital Regional District.
The land is located in the Juan de Fuca Area, adjacent to East Park Regional Park, near Anderson Cove on the Sooke Basin. The parcel fea-tures 300 metres of frontage along East Sooke Road.
The property was assessed in 2014 by B.C. Assessment at $587,000.
“This gift supports our continuing commitment to respect the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people and to preserve the environment; it is also a way of contributing, in per-petuity, to the health and well-being of the people of Greater Victoria and surrounding area,” said Sister Marie Zarowny, province leader for the Sis-ters of St. Ann.
The property was purchased in the late 1950s as part of a larger parcel in the Sooke basin that included Glenair-ley, which the sisters used as a place of relaxation.
The parcel complements the natural and recreational opportunities found
in East Sooke Regional Park, while pro-viding an important green space buffer from nearby development areas, said Susan Brice, CRD regional parks com-mittee chair.
“[The sisters] have provided a pru-dent investment for the public which leaves a legacy for future generations. It also directly contributes to the eco-logical integrity of the park,” added Nils Jensen CRD board chair.
East Sooke Regional Park is now 1,457 hectares with this addition. The regional park received more than 145,000 visits in 2014 and features more than 50 kilometres of trails.

Like most Canadians, Joe Danyleyko isn’t one to show an over-the-top expression of swelling national pride.
But he has every right to be a proud Canadian.Danyleyko has travelled coast-to-coast and around the
world in service to his country in the military for more than 37 years. He has seen the best Canada has to offer, and he’s witnessed the gratitude other people have for Canada.
Canada Day (July 1) is something special for the 75-year-old Sooke resident.
Danyleyko joined the Royal Canadian Army out of high school in 1958 after working for a brief time in an under-ground mine in Bancroft, Ont.
He started his military career with the Princess Patri-cia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) in Edmonton for basic training before being posted to Work Point Bar-racks in Esquimalt.
His battalion headed to Germany for three years start-ing in 1963, and when he returned he became a parachut-ist.
It was off to Cyprus for UN peacekeeping duties in 1968. He returned to the small Mediterranean island in 1975. In between those two tours, he was part of the new Cana-dian Airborne Regiment.
Danyleyko received his officer’s commission in 1977 and led a French-speaking commando unit, before head-ing back to Victoria in 1980 as a support officer of the Canadian Scottish Regiment, an army reserve unit. He ended his military career as the adjutant for the Cana-dian Scottish’s commanding officer in 1995, when he was forced to retire.
Does Danyleyko consider himself a patriot? Yes. And the military likely encouraged that pride.
“The three years I spent in Germany, the Canadians had a good reputation with the Germans and other NATO nations,” says Danyleyko.
“I think Canadians overseas, not only with the UN, take pride in representing their country. I haven’t met a person yet that didn’t have a good thing to say about Canada.”
He believes that has changed in recent years as Canadi-ans become more of a target – much like the British and Americans – with radical groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda.
“You can still be proud about being a Canadian, but now you have to be careful about displaying it,” Danyl-eyko says.
Danyleyko will be at today’s Canada Day celebrations at Sooke River Flats. He’ll be the one wearing a red and white Hawaiian shirt and a red Canadian Airborne Regi-ment ball cap.
no fireworks or logging showThe Sooke Lions Club is hosting a Canada Day
celebration at Sooke River Flats today (July 1).However, two big events have been cancelled:
the West Coast Lumberjacks show and fireworks.The Sooke Fire Department cancelled the
fireworks show, citing extremely dry conditions.Canada Day festivities begin at 1 p.m. The event
features cake, entertainment, pie-eating contest, flag parade and children’s events.

As a realtor for more than 30 years, Lois Dutton learned to listen, counsel and educate both her cli-ents and business associates.
So it’s not surprising that when Dutton sold her business she decided to use her skill set to help others.
Dutton is a peer outreach counsellor – someone who advises others her age – with Senior Peer Counsellors, a program through Greater Victoria-based Seniors Serving Seniors, a referral agency.
Volunteer counsellors provide compassion-ate listening and encouragement to help people get more in touch with their own feelings, gain a clearer understanding of their situations and diffi-culties, and make the decisions necessary to solve their own problems.
“We try and lead people to see if there is a way out of whatever situation they’re in,” Dutton said of the seniors she counsels.
The peer counselling program began 26 years ago and sees an average of 50 clients a year.
All counsellors take an intensive four-month training program. Counsellors range in age from 50 to 80.
Each counsellor handles about one to two cli-ents. They meet once a week for about a one-hour session, usually at the client’s home.
There is a broad range of issues clients will bring
to a counselling session from grieving to financial.Oftentimes all a client needs are three or four ses-
sions. Others need a longer commitment.“Sometimes the counselling is like peeling an
onion,” Dutton said. “There are layers and layers and we need to look at many issues.”
Dutton has been a volunteer counsellor with Senior Peer Counsellors for two years, after stints in similar roles in other organizations. Along with her counselling duties she also interviews potential clients with a suitable counsellor.
“It’s not easy [being a counsellor], but it’s very rewarding,” Dutton said.
“I think seeing the progress that clients can make is its own reward – seeing them being much more comfortable than they originally were than when we first met them.”
Peer to peerSeniors Serving Seniors program offers free counselling sessions
Are you a good listener?
Senior Peer Counsellors is seeking candidates for this fall’s training session.
The training sessions run from September to December.
Counselling is a rewarding experience, said veteran counsellor Lois Dutton.

They cook. They drive. They deliver.
For more than 40 years, the folks at Meals on Wheels have been feeding those in the Sooke community who are physically unable to do so themselves, due to age or disability.
But given Sooke’s increas-ing population, the service – which is run by a small army of volunteers – is in need of more cooks in the kitchen to keep those wheels spinning and bellies full.
Alma Anslow, Meals on Wheels president and a vol-unteer with the organization for more than 10 years, said the operation has become short-staffed, especially since one of the cooks got injured recently.
It doesn’t take much to join. Anslow said the only quali-
fication you need is to enjoy cooking and cooking for oth-ers.
Meals on Wheels runs every first and third Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday of each month. The service charges a small fee, but at the same time it comes as a relief to many Sooke residents who require ongoing care and sup-port, Anslow noted.
“If you fell, broke both your arms and you couldn’t cook anymore, someone would call us and have us deliver you meals,” she said, adding that
the service has been around for more than 45 years.
The whole idea came out of necessity, as the resources available back then to those in need were essentially non-existent.
“That’s the only reason why we’re doing it now, it’s to keep some people in their home and not have them lose all their money by going and living in a old-age home,” Anslow said.
“Sooke’s always been a good community to help each other, and I presume that’s how it started.”
Anslow said to be able to run optimally, Meals on Wheels would need three or four cooks for the two Mon-days and the four Fridays. At this point there are only six out of a volunteer base of 50.
“One person buys all the
meat, then another person buys all the staples, but we all buy fresh vegetables when we cook,” Anslow said, add-ing that as a cook, you make up your menu and what you want you put on a calendar, so everyone else will know what to buy.
If it’s something that takes a lot of time, such as pies or desert, she noted that many of the volunteers will cook and prepare the meals at their own home.
“You really don’t have enough time sometimes to make a bunch of pies when you’ve only got three hours to make up a complete meal, vegetables, starch and meat,” she said.
The crew works out of Sooke Community Hall from 9 a.m., then the drivers, who use their own vehicles, set off
around 11 a.m. and usually return by 12:30 p.m., depend-ing on how many clients are in the roster that day. Drivers receive a small stipend.
The cooks need to put in 3.5 hours per each shift, which is all volunteer time.
“Think of it if you asked your mom to do a big dinner, she would probably say, ‘I don’t want to do it’, but she’d do it for you anyway. This is the way it is. It’s like cooking for Christmas dinner, but in a less elaborate way,” Anslow said, reminding future vol-unteers that the whole plea-sure of being part in Meals on Wheels is to really enjoy cooking.
For more information, or if you would like to sign up, please call Alma Anslow at: 250-642-2184.

B.C. Conservation officers killed the first bear of the season in Sooke late last month.
The three-year-old female bear was caught and then killed because it was clas-sified as “habituated” by conservation offi-cials.
The young bear was systematically going through garbage put out on garbage day, and it was likely the same bear that showed interest in entering a chicken coop in the same area, said Debbie Read, com-
munity coordinator for Wild Wise Sooke.Wild Wise Sooke is issuing a public advi-
sory to help raise awareness of the issue and encourage residents to manage all bear attractants.
“Everyone should know that relocation of bears is not an option,” Read said.
“Research has proven, the bear who no longer has a fear for humans, usually ill from all the garbage it’s been eating, starves slowly in an unfamiliar area.”
Read said about four bears are killed every year in Sooke due to human com-placency.
There are currently three areas in Sooke that remain problem areas for bears: Phil-ips Road, Sooke River Road and Dixon Road.
“The problem is not the bear,” Read said. Homeowners must reduce all bear
attractions and encourage the animals to forage in the wild.
Wild Wise Sooke has begun a campaign by placing advisory messages on signs, fly-ers, posters and on social media.
For more information, email wildwis-eSooke@gmail.

Thumbs up, Thumbs down
Our View
Canadians are famous for being quiet patriots. But we’ll say it anyway, Canada is the best country
in the world.We’re doing things right on most fronts. When we
read about world affairs, we shake our heads at the atrocities happening.
Whether it’s the geopolitical turmoil in a place like Ukraine, the sectarian rifts in Iraq or the human rights atrocities in Nigeria – Canadians can be thankful we
have none of those problems.We’re not cultural relativists. We’re proud of how
stable, secure and peaceful this country is.That’s why so many people want to come here. While the United States has a greater raw number of
immigrants arriving every year, on a per-capita basis Canada opens its doors to a lot more.
And there’s no shortage of hopes and dreams for the future among thoughtful Canadians of all backgrounds. We’re still looking forward, not back.
We have some pimples, who doesn’t?We are lacking leadership on the enormous
challenge of climate change, where Canada has shamefully lagged.
The country also needs to address Canada’s original “two solitudes” – the vast and stubborn gulf between Canada and its indigenous nations.
The growing urban-rural divides: differences in populations and values are playing out in attitudes on issues like immigration, environmental regulation and
gun control.The truth is we can do better.But today, on Canada Day, the overriding theme
is potential, the limitless possibilities offered by a country that is by any measure one of the most successful, prosperous and just ever known – “a fantastic place to live,” as author Margaret Atwood says.
We can and should aim higher – to unleash our power as a nation.
Happy Canada Day!
Canada ‘a fantastic place to live’We say: Canada has its pimples, but we’re still the best nation in the world
What goes around comes around.A month ago I was sitting in
my cozy downtown office putting together another edition of the Victoria News when Sooke News Mirror publisher Rod Sluggett gave me a phone call.
It seems longtime News Mirroreditor Pirjo Raits was retiring, calling it a career and Rod was looking for a replacement.
It’s not surprising he phoned me, after all Rod and I have worked with each other twice before in Powell River and Port Hardy. So, why not a third time?
Well, I guess by know you’ve figured out that I said yes – and here I am as the new editor.
I started out in the news business
back in the early 1980s in Ladysmith. From there, it’s been a world tour (OK, more like a West Coast-Alberta tour). Journalism has taken me from Ladysmith to Calgary and back again.
I officially started with Black Press in 1994 when I joined the staff of the Nanaimo News Bulletin. We went from a shoppers’ newsletter to a full-fledged three times a week newspaper in my tenure.
Once I established myself in Nanaimo (it took me 14 years), head office came calling and asked me to take over the editorial management of the Victoria operation. All this ended up with me arriving in Sooke on Thursday.
I’ve seen a great metamorphosis of our newspapers in Greater Victoria
over the last seven years.Our newspapers – from Sooke to
Peninsula – routinely publish ground-breaking investigation pieces and each paper is filled with compelling stories, columns and other features that deliver on our promise to readers. Great work is evident in each edition.
But a lot more can be done. With the few of you that I’ve talked
to over the last few days, you want practical information and advice you can use in your daily lives from your newspaper.
You want us to tell stories that you can share – and these don’t have to be the ‘important’ stories of the day.
People have many choices for news and information, and if we’re
not prepared to give you what you want, you can – and will – go elsewhere.
So that’s where I need your help.I want to hear from you on what
you like and don’t like about the Sooke News Mirror. And what issues are important to you and this community.
The News Mirror is the voice of the community and we want to hear it loud and clear.
Next time you’re by this way make sure you stop in and introduce yourself.

News Mirror. He can be reached by email at [email protected] or by phone at 250-642-5752.

A way to go to the Sooke Region Museum’s salmon barbecue and open house on Sunday.
A few hundred people showed up for the annual event that saw delicious spring
salmon grilled over an open fire and the doors of the museum swung open for all to
learn about our local history.One of the highlights of the afternoon was the art
gallery’s new exhibit Fashion Files: Dressing Sooke (see page 14). The museum collection team spent the last two years putting this exhibit together. The exhibit features artifacts and archival material from the museum’s collection and items loaned from the public. Nicely done.
To the smokers who think nothing of flick-ing their lit cigarette right now – with no concern for the safety of others.
From the backyard to the back country in Sooke, it’s really dry out there.
That means heightened fire risk and extra vigilance by everyone is needed to prevent
fires from breaking out, say officials.The Sooke area has already seen a few hedge fires, bark
mulch fires, and grass fires, and the Coastal Fire Centre has had to put out a few wild fires across the Island.
Now is not the time to be careless with cigarettes.

Readers’ letters: deer, fishing and hunting
Starving deer need to be fed
To the person that reported me for feeding the deer: I hope you can sleep at night.
If there is an afterlife, I hope you come back as a deer. These animals are starving – thanks to all the building going on in Sooke.
In my neighbourhood alone, four hectares were sold and cleared to build houses. This was a feeding area for the deer which they no longer have access.
You must lead a very boring life if you have nothing better to do than report people.
Obviously, you must have been one of the people that complained about them.
To me they are beautiful creatures and I rejoice every spring when they bring their new babies around.
Unfortunately, the doe that was killed on Whiffen Spit Road was one of our regulars and we won’t get to see her or her twins anymore.
Wait a minute … I forgot; I’m not allowed to feed them anymore. But you can’t stop me from enjoying their company.
What’s next? Don’t feed the birds!
Marion EllsSooke
Fishers, hunters help protect environment
As an avid outdoorsman, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the Rain Forest Alliance’s latest attempt to ban salmon fishing and derbies.
Sport fishers, hunters, hikers, kayakers and backpackers are great supporters of the environment. We spend a lot more time on the water or in the woods than the sandal-wearing vegan who pays the occasional visit to the wild West Coast.
We respect the outdoors and contribute greatly to the protection of the environment that we love.
As an avid sport fisherman, I contribute a great deal both indirectly through licence fees and directly as a volunteer at a salmon hatchery to the preservation of the environment that we all enjoy.
Chinook derbies encourage individual sports fishers to pay attention to the health of the salmon and draw in corporate and groups sponsors who contribute enormously to the salmon enhancement societies, most of whom would not survive without the support of environmentally aware fishermen like us.
In an average year I probably catch and keep with my barbless hooks and catch
and release, considerably less chinook than an adult male sea lion eats in a week.
Last year I caught about a dozen spring salmon. How any salmon gets past Race Rocks is a mystery to us all.
So, if you really want to save the orcas and keep the Salish Sea as a marine park, get yourself a gun, head down to Race Rocks and pop off a few sea lions.
It’s not nearly as politically correct as taking cheap shots at us environmentally responsible fishers and hunters, but a whole lot more effective, eh ?

Elida PetersSpecial to the Sooke News Mirror
The farm property in this photo is today covered in buildings, whether the boat building enterprise on the corner of West Coast Road and Maple Avenue or the commercial building that until recently housed the Juan de Fuca Planning Office of the CRD, or independent housing for individuals.
This photo shows a threshing crew at Burnside Farm. Many readers will know the name Burnside House, now a bed and breakfast, but originally it was built in 1884 as the home of Michael and Matilda Muir and their family of six daughters. This photo is believed to be dated 1906.
Typically in those days, threshing outfits were hired by the different farms, so crews would move about through the farming districts, Metchosin, Sooke and Otter Point, as farmers waited in turn to have their crops harvested.
The six horses we see here were the teams of Henry Fisher, a member of the Metchosin Fisher family. Married to a Muir daughter, Fisher owned a farm on Church Road and also used his horses to drive a stage to Victoria.
It was the oatfield that was being threshed, and one can be sure that the women working in the kitchen of Burnside House were also labouring for long hours preparing the hearty meals that would keep the crews expending so much energy from dawn to dusk.
We aren’t able to identify the men and women in this photo, but we do think it is a fascinating view of a way of life now long gone.
What we do know is that by 1906 Michael Muir, the John Muir family’s entrepreneurial son, had left his wife a widow almost 20 years earlier.
Of Michael and Matilda’s six daughters, Marion
had married Adam Ross, Matilda had married Jack Gordon, and Alice married Henry Fisher. Three other daughters remained single.
By 1902 the Burnside property was held by Muir relatives Adam Ross and A.H. Peatt, and over time, many owners and tenants have occupied the Georgian-style pioneer building. By about 1980 it had been acquired by the Foster Isherwoods, who hoped to restore it to its original state.
Later it was purchased by Ken Knight and Janet Evans (later Sooke’s mayor) who carried out their own plan for restoration of the historic house and were recognized by Victoria’s Hallmark Society for their efforts.

Brianna ShambrookSpecial to the Sooke News Mirror
This year our annual summer exhibit is called Fashion Files: Dressing Sooke.
Our textile collection has more than 1,200 items that includes clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, accessories, textile samples, doilies and blankets. Also included in the collection are objects such as dolls made from fabric, feathers, hat boxes and vintage dress forms.
Our collections team has spent the last two years reorganizing and inventorying this collection and excited to finally be able to show off some of our most unique pieces.
The exhibit will feature artifacts and archival material from our own collection and items loaned to us from the public. The content will look at what Sooke residents have donated to the museum and how these items were important to them and the community.
There is a variety of outfits in the exhibit. Myrtle Pedneault’s (nee Currie) eye-catching canary yellow knitted wool wedding dress is on display with a photograph of her wearing it. A sealskin jacket worn by Kitty Gordon is one of many items from the 1900s displayed.
You will also see Dan Haverty’s work outfit that he wore in 1982 during his last year as a local high rigger in the logging industry.
Other objects to look forward to include a B.C. Auxiliary Police jumpsuit donated by Capt. P.W. deP Taylor, a replica of Manuel Quimper’s Spanish
uniform (discovery of Sooke), a 1950s Sooke ball uniform and a funerary necklace made of human hair. Additionally, there will be a sewing corner that features an early 1900s Singer sewing table and various fabric samples, projects and tools.
This year the photo-op station will be bigger than ever. It will feature an array of costume pieces that visitors can dress up in and take a fun picture that, if emailed to the museum, will be printed out and featured in the exhibit.
A picture of Sooke in the 1920s is used as the background for the photo-op.
The exhibit runs through Sept. 20. •••
Brianna Shambrook is collections and exhibits manager of Sooke Region Museum.

academy of excellence’s danielle st. Jacques, left, and academy director lorie Chadsey congratulate edward Milne community school student Bronwyn stauffer for winning a scholarship worth nearly $14,000 for the school’s esthetics and spa program.
Katherine EngqvistSooke News Mirror
Bronwyn Stauffer was on stage, diploma in hand, at her high school graduation when she heard the news for the first time. The Grade 12 graduate of Edward Milne Com-munity School in Sooke had just been awarded a scholarship to cover her entire tuition.
“My family is just going crazy and I was almost in tears,” she said. Her father vid-eoed the whole thing and her mother? “She broke her belt when she found out,” Stauffer said.
She is the recipient of a $13,800 scholar-ship for the esthetics/spa therapy program at Colwood-based Acad-emy of Excellence, the largest the company has ever awarded.
The extensive 1,500-hour program teaches
all aspects of tradition esthetics and advance spa therapy, with 30 per cent of the pro-gram spent in the class-room and 70 per cent in the spa. Students also get to sample, at least once, all of the treatments they are learning.
“This is the begin-ning of my career and I just can’t wait to get started,” Stauffer said. “I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about this school.”
Danielle St. Jacques, registrar of the Acad-emy of Excellence, met with the future student recently to give her a tour of the facilities and formally begin the enrolment process so she can begin classes in September.
“We’ve never done anything like this before. We wanted to do something relevant to the excitement of our 50th,” St. Jacques
said, adding they wanted to give back to the community that has supported them.
The scholarship was open to all local high school students, but Stauffer’s 17-page application describing her commitment and passion for the beauty industry well exceeded the requirements, St. Jacques said.
“She stood out as someone very deserv-ing of the scholarship and we’re very excited to give it to her.”
Most of the Acad-emy’s students are funded by student loans, St. Jacques said,
and once they graduate they have six months before they have to start paying back their loans.
“It’s an amazing opportunity,” said Stauffer.
She is already look-ing to her future with plans of one day open-ing her own shop and looks forward to the business component of the program, which teaches the realities of starting a business.
“It still hasn’t hit me,” she said, after deliver-ing a thank-you card to the school. “It’s such an honour.”

Art is, without doubt, a mysterious part of human nature. Whether it flows from the deep and dormant subcon-scious mind, or from the soul, it comes out in different forms; albeit sometimes in bizarre forms, but unique none-theless.
Ah yes, unique. That, at least, is one explana-tion for an odd spree of art that has hit the cen-tre of Sooke over the course of the last two weeks – by someone dubbed the Art Bomber.
At first, a radish popped up one day at the farmer’s market, chuckled Debi Ander-son, co-owner of Bark-ing Dog Studio, the only Sookie who took notice of the strange artwork.
Or, more accurately, the artwork took notice of her.
“I got a note on my door a couple of weeks ago saying that myste-rious art was going to appear,” Anderson said. “Nobody said anything about it, or noticed it, but I did.”
Then, last Thursday night, between midnight
and 8 a.m. two more pieces appeared.
Anderson said the artwork created such a buzz in the area that people thought she was the Art Bomber, though that’s not the case — she laughed that if she’d be the one doing it and reporting on it, there wouldn’t be much of a mystery.
Whoever the Art Bomber is though, one thing’s for sure: they’re not going to stop any-time soon.
“I’m very excited about it, I think it’s fan-tastic, because it’s not graffiti, and it can be removed if someone wants to take it down,” Anderson said, not-ing that all the pieces appear to be installed either by rope or wire, making them non-per-manent.
The radish, the car-rot and the flower are made out of canvas, and they’re wired together.
At this point, there’s still no indication on where the art pieces are coming from or when they pop up, as their sporadic nature of appearing randomly don’t dictate a pattern.
Mysterious artwork pops up in Sooke

9:30 am Bible Study • 11:00 am Church ServicePastor: Mike Stevenson
The Nazarenes refused to listen to Jesus, because he was from town and he was a well-known worker. Jesus could not realize miracles in his own place because people did not believe in him.
Our hate and refusal to understand others put us in the darkness, because we see no other point of view than our own, and with this attitude we are refusing to love and accept others. People in the darkness or incredulous only admired the power of God and the wisdom of Jesus, but they cannot establish a genuine relationship with humanity and God.
When Jesus was rejected I believe that he saw his people as God’s children, and in their human limitations and wickedness. He knows that he had to confront many troubles in his ministry, but he had to preach the good news to the world.
In this biblical passage we fi nd that it is not easy to jump into faith. The Nazarene people show that they could not believe that one of them could be a divine person, and denied themselves to listen to the good news.
We need to remember that it is important to carry on spreading the good news and not falter in this hard work. We need to follow Jesus’ example, his own people did not accept him, but he continued with his divine work undismayed.

Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias can leave family care-givers feeling isolated. However, Sooke resi-dents are not alone.
“There are other people to share the journey with you,” says Meriel Randerson, the regional support and education coordinator for the Alzheimer Soci-ety of B.C. for Sooke and Greater Victoria.
The society runs a monthly dementia care-giver support group in Sooke for residents who “want to prepare themselves with cur-rent information that will help improve qual-ity of life with the dis-ease,” she says.
“It’s a safe environ-ment where you can learn, laugh and help each other through mutual understanding.”
The group offers the chance to exchange information and friend-ship with others affected by dementia, access the most cur-rent information, and learn and share practi-cal tips for coping with change.
It meets once a month on a Tuesday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. For more information, contact the Alzheimer Resource Centre at 250-382-2052 or [email protected].
More information on Alzheimer’s disease and other resources are available online at alzheimerbc.org.

GranFondo race passes through SookeOctavian Lacatusu Sooke News Mirror
In the wee hours of Saturday morning, a convoy of dedicated cyclists briskly huffed and puffed their way into Sooke, just as orga-nizers and volunteer were laying out the fresh muffins and coffee – the annual GranFondo bike race was back.
Only with a slight difference this year: it was bigger; raising the length of the route to a staggering 270 kilometres; big enough to both shy away intermediate cyclists and entice those experienced enough who are looking for a challenge.
After starting near the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Sooke was the first of six support sta-tions, with the Sooke Mountain Cycle bike shop being the host.
Complete with racks for riders to hang their bikes, full shuttle ser-vice, snacks and drinks (non-alco-holic, of course) and storage for their luggage, stations were placed 40 kilometres apart to ensure the riders didn’t overexert themselves.
Not that the GranFondo (which means “big ride” in loose Italian) was easy to begin with – also why this year it was called the Gran-Fondo “Doppio” meaning it’s dou-ble the length of the last one.
“Done the Fondo three times before, it’s pretty hard,” said Andrew Drennin, an experienced rider from Victoria, adding that the natural beauty on this part of the Island is worth it. “At least there aren’t too many hills on this route, so it’s pretty nice. It really is a beautiful, scenic ride.”
Some riders even took the Gal-loping Goose down to Victoria for extra points, which was the idea for the race in the first place: to explore new horizons that doesn’t
involve an engine. As such, Lorien Arnold, owner
of Sooke Mountain Cycle, said the GranFondo is more than just a bunch of strangers passing through, but also about putting Sooke as a town and as a naturally-beautiful area into perspective.
“The motivation here is to get
people to stop in Sooke and see the town a little bit,” he said. “You want to attract people who want to live here for the right reasons, such as the beautiful and unique envi-ronment we’re living in, because we’re just pieces of it.”
It was also the creation of the Pacific circle route connecting
the lower and middle parts of the Island that makes the GrandFondo very unique; both in length and location, noted Karl Ullrich, one of the event’s main organizers and owner of Oak Bay Bicycles.
“The fact that we have this unbe-lievable loop with a great view of the landscape is pretty unique,
especially that you have 270 kilo-metre to enjoy it first-hand,” Ull-rich said, adding that it’s longer than the ideal ride that attract lots of experienced riders.”
This year there were more than 100 riders involved, with more expected to sign up next year.

It’s been a while since we featured a special Sooke car, last one being a very classy sport ute from the Outback.
This time, we head over to Japan to catch a glimpse of one the world’s most success-ful rally cars: Aaron Kasper’s right-hand-drive 1999 Mitsubishi Evo (short for Evolu-tion) 6.
With its 747-like rear spoiler, flared wheel arches and low fas-cia, the Evo looks like it fell off the screen of a Playstation racing game – but don’t be fooled, this is no boy’s toy; underneath all that flare is a 276-horse-power, all-wheel-drive race machine capable of going 0-60 mph in under six seconds. Given the Evo’s clever all-alu-minum four-cylinder engine, dual camshafts and a turbocharger big enough to suck in a baby, that’s hardly sur-prising. And neither is the Evo’s stellar record. In the hands of racing legends Tommi Makinen and Ritso Mannisen-maki it won the World Rally Championships several times, keeping neck-in-neck with its long-standing rival, the Subaru Imprezza.

Hot Car: 1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII (6)
Octavian Lacatusu/Sooke News Mirror
The 1999 Mitsubishi Evo 6. Notice the built-in flared wheel arches to accomodate the wider rims, along with the massive brake calipers and aircraft-like rear spoiler. And best part of all, it’s all stock; that’s right, buyers could walk into a dealership and order a rally car already tuned for sideways fun. Though much more rare, Evo’s are equally part of a massive exodus of JDM cars to make their way across the Pacific, such as the Nissan Skyline, JDM-spec Subaru Imprezza, Toyota Trueno, Toyota Supra, among many others.

Those looking to cool off and feel like a kid all over again this summer, well good news: a giant dragon-shaped inflatable water slide is coming to town.
Yes, you read that correctly. An inflatable water slide in the shape of a dragon.
Over 16 meters long and weighing as much as a Mini Cooper, the new water slide will be unveiled at the SEAPARC Dragon Run in the Pool launch party on July 11 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Better yet, there’s no age restriction; both adults and kids can share the slide alike, as long as the person riding the inflatable is at least 48 inches tall.
But while the slide itself is clearly a dragon, it still needs a cool name. SEAPARC staff is inviting the public to the Name our Dragon contest, with forms available at the SEAPARC reception.
Submissions will be accepted until 12pm on July 3 and the winner (plus five friends) will get a free pass to the launch party.

Life in Leechtown portrayed in playSooke playwright
Linda Green Abraham’s play Jake Goes to Leechtown will be re-staged with weekend performances at the Sooke Harbour House pavilion.
A cast of local actors, members of the T’Sou-ke First Nation, musicians and staff from the Sooke Harbour House will take part in the production.
The play will feature new music with photos projected onto the stage.
A Workshop performance of a new vignette show by Katrina Kadoski, about the history of the Sooke Harbour House will be presented.
The play centres around a young man searching for his father
in Leechtown, which sprang up in the 1860s when gold was found in the Sooke and Leech rivers.
Producers of the show are still looking for old photos from the era and photos of the owners and grounds of the Sooke Harbour House before 1979.
If you have any photos, please email [email protected].
The show runs July 4, 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at
Sooke Harbour House, Stick in the Mud and Sooke Region Museum.

The ban prohibits open fires such as backyard burning or land-clearing bun piles, burning barrels, burning cages, fireworks, firecrackers and sky lanterns.
The prohibition does not include cooking stoves that use gas, propane, or briquettes, or portable campfire apparatus that use briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the flame is less than 15 centimetres, according to a Coastal Fire Centre press release.
But the reason for the ban is more than clear: a fire can use wind and dry bush to extend itself, Sorensen said.
“It’s usually the sparks that start the fires. The other concern is where the fire is left when no one is watching it, and
it gets into roots, or the wind comes up and blows it along,” Sorensen said.
In the case of Little Vienna Bakery, Sorensen said the response timing was luckily perfect, both in terms of available volunteers and the lack of wind.
“As soon as I saw the building was on fire, I called Otter Point as well because it’s better to have too much than not enough,” he said. “Fire burnt most of the hedge up, and the probability a cigarette as the catalyst is pretty high.”
The radiant heat from the cedar hedge was enough to get the flames to the building’s exposed wood on the roof, which allowed it to spread from there. Fortunately, the structure damage was mostly cosmetic and the fire did not penetrate the building.
But with the dry weather continuing, every city and municipality in B.C., big and small, remains on high alert.
“With the exceedingly dry conditions, fires can start with something as simple as a cigarette butt being carelessly discarded to someone deliberately setting it with a match or a lighter,” said Doug Carey, deputy chief with the Victoria Fire Department.
Besides risking an actual fire, consequences for lighting up during the ban can be costly. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail.
Fire ban extended across Coastal Fire Centre region

Ron NeitschSpecial to the Sooke News Mirror
The big fish are here! The salmon fishing in Sooke has been very good, with more, and larger chinook and spring salmon arriving weekly.
This last couple of weeks saw the Juan de Fuca Salmon Derby won with a 34-poubd spring salmon and many recreational fishers get out on the water to enjoy some hot, sunny weather and calm waters fishing Sooke.
There are now pink and coho salmon in our area, which can usually be fished shallower than springs; these fish are great for adding poundage to your catch and can be lots of fun if you’re bringing kids out fishing. Regulations for coho are two hatchery fish only per person, per day, and pinks are four fish per day. Remember you can only retain a total of four salmon of combined species per day.
Some springs have been caught off Sooke Bluffs, Otter Point and Sheringham Point; have also heard some reports of chinooks at Possession Point.
Many springs are reported being caught shallow, from 35 to 110 feet on the downrigger, in 50 to 120 feet of water. There seems to be a good bite early in the morning and then again at the tide change during the mid or late morning.
Bright greens and glow white colouring have been popular both with flashers and bait heads. Halibut fishing continues to be good in our waters, although dogfish (sharks) are passing through, taking any fresh bait, damaging leaders, and wasting valuable fishing time. Many halibut fishers switch to using more artificial bait at this time of year.
Halibut are known to come into shallower water at this time of year, although I had a great day last week in 165 feet of water, using herring and salmon spines left over from filleting. Crabbing in the Sooke Harbour has been getting much better with more nice large male dungeoness crabs being caught.
South Vancouver Island Rangers Annual Men’s Salmon Derby comes up July 11.
