ARTS FUNDING CUTS REVERSEDKevin LairdSooke News Mirror

Funding cuts to some of the com-munitys most high-profile organiza-tions have been reversed by Sooke council.

Last month the community grant review community decided that several groups, including the Sooke Fine Arts Society and Sooke Com-munity Arts Council, would face funding cuts due to a new protocol introduced by council earlier this

year.However, council decided Mon-

day night to go against the com-mittees recommendations and rein-state some funding.

The Sooke Community Arts Coun-cil will receive $4,000 as requested. The committee had recommended no grant. Sooke Fine Arts Society saw its request of $7,000 reinstated. The committee recommended $3,500. Sooke Region Food Chi will get $7,000. The committee recom-mended no money.

This year the grant process was marred with controversy when the committees recommendations were announced. That controversy rolled into council on Monday when council chambers was standing room only, mostly art supporters.

The committee was tasked with reviewing grant requests against council policy during budget debates earlier this year. The grants are not intended to provide ongoing support for an indefinite time.

Few groups attended the commit-

tee meetings, but all were sent let-ters.

It is important to have public input anytime these sorts of deci-sions are being made, said Coun. Kerrie Reay, chair of the grants com-mittee.

As projects grow and become successful there is some expec-tation that organizations should become more sustainable finan-cially rather than to continue to rely on public funding, she said.

Around 15 vehicles had their tires slashed around midnight Monday night between Maple Avenue South, Caldwell and Eustace roads.

One of the vehicles also had a broken windshield.

Sooke RCMP are currently investigating at the scene and looking for suspects, as well as a possible motive for the attacks.

Its unknown at this time whether they were related.

Chamber urges saving local old growth forests

Conservationists are delighted that the Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce has issued a statement to the provincial government requesting that it protect the Central Walbran Valley from old-growth logging.

Port Renfrew has been transformed in recent years into a big tree tourism destination as hundreds of thousands of tourists have come from around the world in recent years to visit some of Canadas largest trees in the nearby Avatar Grove, the Red Creek Fir, Big Lonely Doug (Canadas

second largest Douglas-fir tree), San Juan Spruce, the Harris Creek spruce and the Central Walbran Valley.

The publicity about the old-growth forests near Port Renfrew in recent years has brought in a flood of visitors from Europe, the U.S. and Canada to visit Port Renfrew. Dan

Hager, president of the Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce said that if the Central Walbran were to be protected, it would be a great addition to the towns repertoire of big tree attractions.

Along with sport fishing, old-growth forest tourism has become a staple of our local economy, Hager

Sooke parents could see changes to how their child gets to school once the board of education presents its 2016 budget.

The school district subsidizes its bus routes and needs to look at ways to manage transportation costs and find efficiencies.

The Sooke School District, however, will seek substantial public input before any changes are made, said Bob Phillips, the new board chairman.

Its not yet clear what form those

efficiencies could take, but Phillips said increased fees and changes to transportation services are being considered.

There will be consultation. Busing is a big issue in this part of the district, and its certainly not an option for families living in Shirley, Otter Point or East Sooke, he said.

In the past, busing was funded by the district. Now parents and the district share the costs.

The busing issue came to a head this fall when school began and demand for transportation outpaced resources available. The district was forced to use spare buses to answer

the need.Last week the board received

approval from the Education Ministry to buy four new buses.

Much of the problem is the growth of the district where more than 300 students enrolled in September. To keep up with the demand on bus services, the district was forced to add another route in Sooke.

School trustee Margot Swinburnson said the district needs to look at how it delivers transportation services.

We need to look forward, she said.

Perhaps the answer, she said, is

some form of partnership with B.C. Transit where there is a sharing of resources, particularly in the area west of Sooke.

Parents have said they dont mind higher fees for busing if they get good service and there is no untoward on early pick up and late arrivals, Phillips said.

We really need the parents to tell us what are their goals and aspirations and limits, he said.

The Sooke School District has an annual operating budget of $97.1 million. The 2016 budget must be approved by May.

School bus changes, higher fees possible in district budget

Otter Point resident Bob Phillips steps in as Sooke School board chairArnold LimSooke News Mirror

The Sooke School Districts board of educa-tion has a new chair.

Otter Point resident Bob Phillips, who accepted a nomination from fellow trustee Ravi Parmar, was installed last week as head of the board when previous chair Wendy Hobbs chose not to accept a nomination from trustee Denise Riley.

Rather than run for a seventh consecutive year, Hobbs read a prepared statement to the board and those in attendance.

I have been thinking about this. Although I would like to continue the work we have done as a board in the past, it has come to my attention from a trustee I do not have his support, or full support of the board, Hobbs said. The job of board chair here is difficult enough when you do have full support and even more strenuous without it. For that rea-son I have made a decision not to stand for the position of chair.

Following her statement, Hobbs stood up and walked out of the meeting before elec-tions were complete and rest of the board meeting began, saying she was heading to watch her granddaughter in her first PACE performance.

In a follow-up interview, Hobbs did not name the non-supportive trustee, and said she hadnt heard any reason why she no lon-ger had the support of the board.

Its very difficult for me, she said. I felt the board has been doing great; it ran well, got

things done, was going in right direction.So to be told I need change was a bit shock-

ing to me I knew I didnt have enough votes to become chair I felt that I would not run so the majority of trustees could have the change they wanted.

Elections concluded with Dianna Seaton taking over Phillips previous position of vice-chair, Margot Swinburnson as the provincial council representative, Neil Poirier taking the spot as the B.C. Public School Employers Asso-ciation representative and Ravi Parmar as the BCPSEA alternate. None of the elections went to a vote, as all positions were acclaimed.

Despite taking over her long-time position as chair, Phillips said he was grateful for the work Hobbs has done over the years.

There are no adjectives that could describe the amount of time that is required when you are building new schools, when you are hav-ing job action, when you are having govern-ment changes, he said.

This is why Wendy leads the polls, she is so completely caring when it comes to kids and families and staff. She should feel justifiably proud of all of the things she has done for this district.

Phillips described himself as a poor farm boy from Ontario who became a clinical social worker. He taught in Africa twice, taught at university and has been a school trustee for 19 years.

I really dont see any difference in the direc-tion or the work or whatever that goes on with the board. The voice and the face change, Phillips said.

Wendy and I worked closely together and we will continue to (do so). The story to me is how do we continue to support our staff and produce the educational outcomes that are expected from a board and a superintendent.

Octavian LacatusuSooke News Mirror

Every weekday morning and every rush hour on Sooke Road, a phenomenon erupts to the tune of frustration, idling engines, and bright-red brake lights as far as the eye can see: the Colwood Crawl.

Its an unfortunate but familiar experience to anyone traveling to and from Sooke, and with the towns popula-tion estimated to grow 40 per cent by 2026, its not likely to improve either.

Hope is on the horizon however, with the Ministry of Transportation and Infra-structures proposed Highway 14 improvements next year, which includes widening of lanes, as well as the addition of more lanes.

Two desperately-needed arteries are also in the works: the Langford bypass and Leigh Road interchange.

The bypass will come through from West Shore Park-way and merge just northwest of Slegg Building Materials in Colwood.

Both projects (which are expected to cost between $16 million and $20 million) will bring traffic relief to the area and close down the notori-ously-dangerous and current alternative route, Humpback Road.

This is separate from the $85 million for the long-overdue McKenzie Road interchange in Saanich.

Doing away with Hump-back and creating a real two or three or four lane ability to scoot through Langford with-out having to go all the way through Colwood will improve things for everyone, said MLA John Horgan, adding that improvements on Sooke Road over the last few years include widening, bigger shoulders, better asphalt, as well as paint which helps drivers see the

divisions in the road a lot bet-ter.

Despite modern improve-ments though, Horgan said it still takes him longer to get to his constituency office than it did 10 years ago, which is why adding or widening another lane may not be a long-term solution as that space will get filled up as well.

You cant just keep adding lanes and widening, at some point you have to find new and improved ways to move people around, he said, add-ing that the infrastructure just isnt keeping up with the population growth of Sooke or Langford.

Horgan also suggested that the government should look more towards making use of the E&N Railway corridor, with or without a train running on it.

Pull up the track, throw down some asphalt, and you could be running buses in and

out of town from Langford in 20 minutes, and you could do that without affecting the existing commute, he said.

Another popular sugges-tion is making use of Sookes pioneer-era corridors that run through bush and moun-tains and bypass Sooke Road altogether, but that is a very expensive and unnecessary proposition at this point, noted Horgan, saying there are other, more accessible cor-ridors right now to be taking advantage of.

Thats something youd want to look at in 2025 or 2035, because youre not going to blast through a new road unless you need to do it to meet population growth.

But the inherent problem of traffic congestion lies further afield than just infrastructure, as Horgan and acting mayor Kevin Pearson pointed out, especially considering that 60 and 70 per cent of Sooke resi-dents travel out of town for

work, which is mostly by car.Technically, that number

could be curbed by high-occu-pancy vehicle, also known as HOV, lanes and improved bus service, encouraging drivers to get out of their cars and get on a bus, though Pearson believes theres an even better alternative to that: give resi-dents the opportunity to work locally.

Root cause of congestion is vehicles. Root cause of the vehicles is the jobs. If you can somehow move the jobs and strategically think about how you can do that, then youre making progress, Pea-son said, adding that creating satellite offices could be an option for at least a portion of Sookies, which would gener-ate local employment and take more vehicles off the roads.

Construction on Highway 14 is expected to begin sometime late next year and extend into 2017.

Major roadworkTransportation Ministry will take the shovel to Highway 14 next year

Sooke News Mirror

Highway 14 has been the scene of many car crashes over the years. Next year major reconstruction of the roadwill take place.

Police will be out in force this month keeping an eye out for drunk drivers.

While attitudes have changed considerably over the years, an average of 86 people are killed each year in B.C. Thirteen of those deaths occur on the Island, according to ICBC.

Impaired driving enforcement is important all year round, but there are certain times of the year such as December when there is an increase in alcohol consumption, said Staff Sgt. Jim Anderson with the Capital Regional District Integrated Road Safety Unit.

IRSU will partner with police units throughout Greater Victoria, including Sooke RCMP, and conduct road checks.

IRSU hopes those that are consuming alcohol dont drive for the safety of themselves and others, Anderson said.

Authorities are reminding drivers to be smart, safe, and to plan for a ride home before the evening begins.

Police increase patrols to combat drunk-driving

Municipalities are not required to fund grants. The district has had a grant program in place since 2001. In that time, more than $1 million has been awarded to non-profit community groups. Since 2006, arts and culture funding has reached $553,000.

This year, council budgeted $72,000 in grant funding. There was $20,000 in new

grant requests. To keep the status quo, the grants committee could not accept new projects without cutting back on other recipients.

Sooke Community Arts Council and others say they were blind-sided and stunned by the committees recommendations, and some stated they did not receive notification of the meeting.

Without municipal funding the arts council does not receive funding from the B.C. Arts Council. That, said arts council president Caryl Wilford, would have affected many events in the arts community.

At issue was the committees

assumption that municipal money was being re-granted to other groups, which is not permitted under council policy. The arts council said it was not granting any money, but sponsoring some events.

On Monday night, the Sooke Fine Arts Society made an impassioned plea to council members: Lets not lose our heart. Lets not lose our vision, Lets not lose our fiduciary responsibility, said Geraldine McGuire, society president.

Acting mayor Kevin Pearson said the grant committee had a tough challenge this year when council, unanimously, asked it to review the grants

policy.Whats been

missing in Sooke is rigour around the grant process. There are many expectations it will just happen, he said.

Pearson said what the debate has created is an awareness of the grant process and councils expectations. It will open dialogue.

Its telling people that council will look through everything through a fiscal lens and put rigour around process, and if there are conditions with grants, you must meet those conditions.

There is absolutely no doubt in all of our minds that the arts is a viable part of our community, Pearson said.

Grant process will open dialogue, says acting mayor

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2015 I OPINION I SOOKENEWSMIRROR.COM A9

The Sooke News Mirror is published every Wednesday by Black Press Ltd. | 4-6631 Sooke Road, Sooke, B.C. V9Z 0A3 | Phone: 250-642-5752 | Web: sookenewsmirror.com

They Said It

Our View

The holiday lights are up, casting a warm glow over the streets and sidewalks of Sooke and inspiring us all to enjoy the best of this Christmas season. But there are another series of lights we see this time of year that dont carry such a happy message.

The flashing lights of police cruisers and emergency vehicles serve as an unfortunate reminder that all too many holiday celebrations end in tragedy.

Police in Sooke and across the province are in the midst of their annual Christmas CounterAttack

campaigns, targeting impaired drivers in an effort to keep the roads safe.

But you dont need police to punish you for drinking and driving, there are far worse consequences than that; the Grim Reaper can permanently remind you that a single bad choice can haunt you for the rest of your life.

And those bad choices add up to thousands of injuries and dozens of deaths each year as a result of alcohol-related crashes in B.C., some which, unfortunately, trickle down

to Sooke as well. The good news is the numbers are decreasing, with fatalities down significantly from just a few years ago.

That said, there is still no OK level of carnage caused by impaired driving. Each of those crashes represent a tragedy for someones family, one that could of been easily avoided.

And dont kid yourself, if youve had too much to drink, no amount of coffee or fresh air will sober you up.

So when youre celebrating the season this year with your family

and fellow Sookies, make sure those celebrations include planning for a safe ride home. Arrange for a designated driver, call a cab, plan to stay over with friends anything it takes to prevent becoming another unfortunate statistic this holiday season, not to mention the potential loss of your drivers licence.

Think of the victims, think of the potential consequences, think of what you would have to tell your family just think, and let us all enjoy a safe and happy holiday season.

Drinking and driving not worth the riskWE SAY: The consequences of drinking and driving is the gift nobody wants on Christmas, but many still get. Lets change that.

Editor Kevin LairdOpinion

Lets not lose our heart. Lets not lose our vision. Lets not lose our fidicuciary responsibility.

I really dont see any difference in the direction or the work or whatever that goes on with the board. The voice and the face change.

Were two steps in the right direction for a kilometre walk. Its definitely in our quest to win our division. Its very encouraging.

8 I OPINION I SOOKENEWSMIRROR.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2015

Its funny how power gives politicians amnesia.

Justin Trudeaus Liberals have been in government for just a few weeks but thats been more than enough time for them to forget one of the biggest promises that put them there.

Less than two months ago, the Liberals won the federal election with a platform that pledged tax breaks for the middle class, tax hikes for the rich, new infrastructure spending and carefully-limited deficits to make it all work.

The last vow was the foundation for all the others and existed to prove the Liberals could be trusted as astute and responsible money-managers.

How strange, then, that when it comes to this promise, the Liberals have experienced a sudden memory lapse.

Last week, the Liberals confirmed the tax cuts and increases as well as the new infrastructure spending are all on the way.

But their repeated election promise to run annual deficits of no more than $10 billion over the next three years and produce a surplus in the final year of their mandate was nowhere to be found.

In place of that solemn election vow was a vague commitment to a responsible fiscal plan suited to challenging economic times.

Sorry, but thats not good enough. The governments credibility and the good of the country depend on the Liberals sticking to their initial deficit vow.

That this will be difficult is increasingly obvious.

On Monday, Finance Minister Bill Morneau admitted that far from being

revenue-neutral as originally planned, the Liberal tax changes would actually cost the federal treasury $1.2 billion a year.

The new tax on the rich, it turns out, wont pay for the new tax cut to the middle class. Theres a gaping hole in the Liberal budget plans. But it isnt the only one.

Theyve counted on billions of dollars in revenue that wont be coming.

As a result, instead of enjoying a surplus for this fiscal year, the Liberals are headed for a $3-billion deficit. It gets even worse in 2016-17 when a $4-billion deficit is expected. Unless the government changes course, its annual deficits will be far greater than $10-billion.

Lets be clear: The Liberals original commitment to spend $5 billion a year more on infrastructure while running limited deficits was reasonable.

It was a gamble, but it represented a calculated risk that could jolt Canadas lacklustre economy out of the doldrums.

Thing is, the government is now in danger of falling into the trap of writing budgets where its spending reach always exceeds its revenue grasp. It is in danger of condemning the country to perpetual federal deficits and unsustainable debt.

This doesnt have to be the Liberals fate, but it must stick to the original deficit plan.

Keep the infrastructure commitment, sure, but review the billions of dollars worth of spending promises that have little to do with stimulating the economy and more to do with buying votes.

The Liberals may have short memories.The voters do not.

Readers letters

So fortunate to live in Sooke

The Santa Run on Saturday reminded us just how fortunate we are to live in a small-town Canada example such as Sooke! The Sooke Fire Rescue Service and supporters blitzed the neighbourhoods with their festive fire trucks, collecting non-perishable food donations on behalf of the Sooke Christmas Bureau, a seasonal function of the Sooke Food Bank.

As with other events throughout the year in our region Canada Day at the Flats and Help Fill A Truck are but two examples - thank you to the SFRS staff, volunteers and their families for giving to our greater community in so many ways. We are all blessed.

Toxic tar sands not wanted here

Re: Sooke wont get ocean spill response base (Online, Dec. 10)

No toxic tar sands for B.C. coastal waters, because there is no world-class equipment to clean up a spill.

The tar sands have to be refined into synthetic crude on the tar sands.

Earl RichardsSooke

Flooded highwayneeds repair

Last summer there was a major reconstruction and resurfacing project on Highway 14 going to Langford.

Much of the work was well done.

There is one section which floods water over the road surface that is poorly done.

The area, near the four lane section, is poorly marked and the

batteries in the barrier lamps need attention.

Accidents, including deaths are likely to occur at this section.

Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure are GOD in relation to elevations on highways, so please fix this danger.

We all make mistakes and many we can learn from.

Ted Mehler Sooke

Time to reflect on role of arts

Whatever I might have thought about Steven Harper, his cuts to the budget of the CBC made me reflect on how important that institution has been in making me feel part of a very special country.

Similarly, whatever we feel about the members of the District of Sookes community grant committee, their recommendations to cut grant funding

to the work done by the Sooke Fine Arts Society and the Sooke Community Arts Council has obviously made many Sookies take time to reflect on the vital role that these organizations have and are playing to make Sooke a more vibrant, exciting and noteworthy place not only for those of us who live here, but also for visitors from many corners of the globe.

As a volunteer with the Sooke Fine Art Show for the last three years, I have come to greatly respect the decision made by all those who are responsible for keeping the arts alive in this community.

The continued success of the fine art show alone suggests that the societys decision making is not only sound but vital for the maintenance and growth of the creative spirit hat makes Sooke, Sooke.

Hopefully members of Sooke council will consider the role of the arts and show their continued financial support for those who are interested in extending the benefits of the arts through imaginative project for all ages.

The Sooke Region Chamber of Commerce executive recently met to lay out a slate of ambitious programs for 2016.

Much of the program agenda stems from the highly successful day-long retreat held in September with 50 community leaders who were asked to lay out their vision and the challenges regarding the future of Sooke.

Like any community, residents had an extensive shopping list, much of which has already been reported in the Sooke News Mirror.

Improvements to Highway 14 for the purposes of increased safety was considered a top priority and the chamber feels the time is right to push for change given the recent announcement by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure allocating $85 million toward a new McKenzie Road interchange.

Chamber president Sean Dyble reminded the ministry that some 14,000 vehicles use the most westerly part of Highway 14 and a relatively small investment is needed to make this portion of the highway safer.

Dyble points out that in reviewing the ideas that emerged from the September symposium, much of the needs list is interwoven. An example is that improvements to the highway would in turn, encourage more families and job-creating businesses to

move here. As more families move to Sooke they stimulate the building trades and that in turn creates even more employment.

Other priorities for 2016 include upgrades to electronic infrastructure such as better cellular and bandwidth connections which would end the frustration we all have as cellphone users and at the same time, encourage more telecommuters that work from home.

The chambers Better Buy Sooke program has been well received and some consumers have asked if that means that they should only buy local.

Dyble points out that the intent is to simply give local retailers and service providers the first chance at meeting your needs and if price and quality are a match with Victoria companies, then that deserves their support.

Next year will also see a concentration of effort in the chambers relocation strategy which will campaign to encourage more pre-retirees to

relocate to Sooke. Dyble points out that if

most of the families that move to Sooke buy a family home in the $350,000 to $400,000 range this can bring enormous initial economic benefit often followed by major expenditures in renovations and services.

One of the chambers more entertaining responsibilities is to work with the community in the Sooke Santa Parade. In spite of the work underway in the downtown, the parade attracted more participants than last year and more of Santas fans crowded along the newly designed route. The challenges that all this brought to traffic management was solved by the professional services of Sookes Shadow West Security who hired extra staff as a commitment to making sure things ran smoothly.

All Sooke residents should be impressed and pleased at the vast improvements to Sooke Road with the completion of the roundabout and the new Royal Bank building.

The chamber now hopes to initiate discussions with building owners in that part of town that are willing to consider enhancements to their properties reflecting the town centre guidelines while adding to the curb appeal of the area.

Next year will also see a concentration of effort in the chambers relocation strategy which will campaign to encourage more pre-retirees to relocate to Sooke.

The Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island is warning would-be travellers to use extreme caution when booking an owner- operated vacation rental property.

Travellers who are thinking of renting a house or condo instead of staying in a hotel or resort need to consider whether it is a genuine and legal opportunity, said Rosalind Scott, president of the BBB. To avoid vacation nightmares, consumers should do online research and work with a reliable company to find their vacation rental.

Helping the needyFor the third year in a row, Village Food Markets and Stellar Homes have joined forces to donate more than $6,000 worth of food to the Sooke Food Bank. The two businesses are challenging other Sooke businesses to come together this holiday season to do what they can to make this Christmas a little brighter for some local Sooke Families.

Harbour to shallow for clean up boats, says federal agency

Kevin LairdSooke News Mirror

The federal agency responsible for spill clean up on the B.C. coast will acquire five new bases along the South Coast oil tanker route and add 100 new jobs if the National Energy Board approves the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Western Canada Marine Response Corp. communications manager Michael Lowry told district council last week no bases will be established in Sooke.

New spill-response bases

would be located at ports in Delta, Nanaimo, Sidney, Ucluelet and Beecher Bay, he said. The $100-million investment is being

paid for by a fee charged by Trans Mountain to shippers.

Sooke was o r i g i n a l l y considered as a base, but the harbour is too

shallow for the boats required. Sooke currently has a cache of oil-response equipment and that would be upgraded.

Under the federal Shipping Act, the Western Canada Marine Response Corp. has an 18- to 72-hour response time in local waters, depending on the size of the spill.

Were well below those [minimum] standards, but those

are what Transport Canada expects, Lowry said.

Kinder Morgan hopes to triple the bitumen-carrying capacity of its existing Trans Mountain line by laying almost 1,000 kilometres of new pipe between Edmonton and Burnaby. The expansion would increase the number of tankers on the South Coast.

Last fall Sooke voters passed a referendum in opposition to the expansion of oil traffic through coastal B.C. waters.

[The people of Sooke] are very passionate about our coastline and our waters, said acting mayor Kevin Pearson. We can appreciate quicker response times, but there many issues underlying it.

The National Energy Board is expected to make a decision on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in January.
