territorial land’ claim filed in

Delay in constructing a replace-
y ment for the Mt. Newton Middle
School has cost the Saanich
School District an extra $24,000
— and there is still no resolution
ZtO a native land claim on the
# proposed school site at Gowdy
Road and Stellys Crossroad in
Central Saanich.

At the Nov. 13 board meeting,
trustees voted unanimously to pro-
a ceed with the project by the Nov.
420 deadline, regardless of whether
yan agreement had been reached
the Tsartlip native band.

A group of spectators at the
smeeting applauded the board deci-

On.

Trustee John Betts moved the
board send a letter to the Tsartlip
Band council reviewing the nego-
tiations undertaken so far and
qexplaining that the district must go
ahead with construction to meet
contract obligations to Campbell
Construction. :

At the same meeting, trustees
agreed to ask the Ministry of
jEducation to cover the $24,000
increase in the construction tender
incurred by the 30-day delay in
Starting the project.

Basil Wells of Campbell Con-
Struction Ltd. said the tender
imcrease was tO cover anticipated
pa®>lems with poorer weather and
‘oul conditions caused by the delay
Starting the project.

“We expect the contract docu-
ents 0 contain a provision cover-
ng delays relative to possible
native land claim problems,”

Wells added.

Trustee Betts suggested negotia-
tions could continue and some
agreement could be reached with
the band on the use of the site for
the school after construction starts.

Trustee David Christian said the
board must sign the contract for
the school by midnight Nov. 20.

“This board really has to build
that school,” he said.

Board chairman Marilyn Love-
less said a meeting with Ministry
of Indian Affairs representatives
and Tsartlip Band representatives
Nov. 7 had been constructive but
had’ not produced a solution. A
meeting with the Saanich Tribal
Council was slated for Nov. 15.

The Ministry of Education
advanced the money to build the
school Oct. 19, Loveless said.

She summarized the Ministry of
Education stand as “‘you get the
money — you build the school.”

The Ministry of Native Affairs
suggested the school board resolve
the issue through local negotia-
tion, Loveless said.

Central Saanich council also
Supports construction of the
school, she added.

The new school is to replace the
overcrowded Mt. Newton Middle
School on Keating Crossroad in
Central Saanich.

The school board paid $105,000
for the school site and has put
$250,000 into constructing a berm
on the property plus an additional
$600,000 to $700,000 on consult-
ant and architects’ fees.

Sidney mayor-elect Marie Ros-
ko’s first item of business will be
efforts to change the proposed
highway interchange at Beacon
Avenue.

“The present proposal is unac-
ceptable to the people,” Rosko
said. “We will be drafting a state-
ment to the highway’s department
and will look towards support
from the two neighboring munici-
palities to re-evaluate the present
transportation network on the
Peninsula.”

Rosko said that although soil
samples and surveys are being
done, the loop interchange is not
carved in stone at this time.

“There is a third option and I
understand from a highway spe-
cialist that there are two or three
ways to handle congestion at the
intersection without having to use
such a large amount of irreplacea-
ble land,” Rosko said.

School superintendent Hank
Stefaniak said Tuesday that the
school district would have to prove
to the provincial Ministry of Edu-
cation that the Gowdy Road site is
impossible to use before funds
would be granted for another site.

Rosko’s focus on Beacon interchange

Rosko received almost double
the number of votes cast for Mayor
Norma Sealey in the Saturday
municipal election. She takes
office December 3.

“I’m very pleased and certainly
very grateful the residents of Sid-
ney showed confidence in me,”
she said. “There has been a lot of
concems and a lot of issues and
council will address them, trust-
fully to the satisfaction of the
community.

“We will be incorporating an
open-door policy,” Rosko said.
“People who have concems will
be invited to voice them.”

Rosko said she does not plan to
divorce herself of business inter-
ests in three Sidney companies.

“T have excellent staff and I
oversee and delegate. I’m not real-
ly involved in the everyday work-
ing aspect of the business (and) I
don’t see a conflict of interest
there,” Rosko said.

She is enthusiastic about bring-
ing a “fresh approach” to council,
and also was appreciative of the
outgoing mayor.

“Tm sure we all appreciate the
time and dedication Mayor Norma
Sealey has given to the communi-
ty,’ Rosko said.
