More oil tank spills, still no new solutions Daniel Palmer News staff

Two home heating oil leaks which found their way into Bowker Creek and the Gorge Waterway last week are just the latest in a long list of expensive spills across the region, and local MLAs believe the province needs to do more to protect homeowners.

On the evening of Jan. 5, Saanich received a call from Oak Bay fire crews about an oil sheen and strong smell of diesel fuel on Bowker Creek near Mortimer Street. Booms were installed in the area, but finding the source of the leak proved difficult.

“Crews estimate they lifted over 50 manhole covers looking for the source of the fuel,” said Harley Machielse, Saanich director of engineering.

It took about 24 hours before the leak was traced to a home in the 1700-block of Kisber Avenue, nearly three kilometres from the site of the Bowker Creek booms. An outdoor home heating oil tank was found to be leaking at the Shelbourne Valley home and into a perimeter drain, Machielse said.

Public works crews installed a siphon dam at the property line to stop fuel from leaving the property, and the oil tank was pumped out. Booms were also placed in nearby manholes to protect Bowker Creek, Machielse said.

“We’ll keep those booms up in place and do regular checks on a daily basis to see if there’s any additional contaminants being collected,” he said. “In this case, they weren’t large spills.”

The spill on Kisber Avenue was estimated to be about 100 litres.

On the morning of Jan. 6, another oil sheen was called in by Saanich Fire Department along the Gorge.

In that case, crews quickly found a stormwater drain that was carrying the oil and traced the leak to a home on Walter Street, about half a kilometre away in the Tillicum-Gorge neighbourhood.

Mayor Atwell alleges spyware, police leaks Daniel Palmer Travis Paterson Saanich News

Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell is unleashing a torrent of allegations against the District of Saanich and local police and is confirming rumours of an extramarital affair.

Atwell made several statements Monday afternoon at a press conference at Saanich’s Data Tech Business Centre then left without taking reporters’ questions.

“In my wildest dreams I Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell addresses never expected to see my media at a press conference Monday. personal life become fodder for tabloid journalism,” said Atwell, referencing news stories of a suspicion,” said Atwell.

Atwell has requested the head Dec. 11 police-involved incident in of the Integrated Road Safety Unit, Saanich.

Atwell revealed he has asked Saa- which is comprised of both municinich Police Chief Bob Downie to pal and RCMP officers, to review request an external police investiga- those stops.

In addition, the Mayor clarified a tion into allegations that Saanich’s IT department “had been instructed to Dec. 11 incident in which he called place spyware on my computer and 911 and Saanich Police responded.

“I called 911 as a complainant looka number of other computers within ing for help and at no time did I comthe municipal hall,” he said.

As a result of the information being spyware, known as Spector 360, was installed as an employee monitoring leaked to media, Atwell filed a comtool, whether it was standard prac- plaint with the office of B.C.’s Office of the Police Complaint Commistice, or if the software was installed.

Saanich mulls right to healthy environment Daniel Palmer News staff

Saanich could soon join Victoria in declaring the right to a healthy environment, a symbolic gesture gathering support from some municipalities across the country.

Coun. Susan Brice presented the motion to council last week modelled on the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot tour, a lobbying effort that encourages Canadians to request a right to a healthy environment.

The long-term goal is to have the federal government enshrine environmental rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Locally, the push came from Rupert Yakelashek, 10, who attended a Blue Dot tour event and then lobbied Victoria councillors on the matter during the municipal election campaign. “I was driving into town and listening to this young fellow Rupert on the radio, and I thought, ‘What a joy to listen to,’” Brice said.

After Victoria passed its motion, a councillor approached Brice and asked her if Saanich might attempt to do the same.

The declaration states multiple environmental human rights, such as the right to breathe clean air, the right to drink clean water, the right to consume safe food and the right to participate in decision-making that will affect the environment.

The declaration also states that the District of Saanich will take cost-effective measures to prevent the degradation of the environment and protect the health of its citizens. “(Suzuki) said that Canada had fallen behind in the environmental race and that many countries have environmental rights, but not Canada,” Yakelashek said.

“If humans are harming the environment, we’re directly harming ourselves.”

Deborah Curran, an environmental law

professor at the University of Victoria, said the declaration is positive as most municipalities fail to flex their full environmental muscles.

“Through Sec. 8 and 9 of the (B.C.) Community Charter, municipalities can enact bylaws for the protection of the environment: anti-pollution bylaws for watercourse protection, tree protection, air quality protection. There are very few municipalities who have done this to their full extent,” Curran said.

Curran pointed to Saanich’s Urban Containment Boundary, established in the 1960s, as a “rousing success” in environmental protection at the municipal level.

However, the boundary was put in place for very different concerns: the municipality didn’t want to extend sewer and water service beyond what could be fed by gravity, Curran said.

“Now, it has much broader sustainability purposes and it’s a good success story for maintaining vibrant urban areas and maintaining a vibrant urban agricultural economy,” she said.

Curran said a declaration of the right to a healthy environment can help “daylight” environmental policies across a municipality. “You’re forced to look at cumulative impacts and look at it in an integrated way around health and environment,” she said.

Brice is asking council for an agreement in principle and to forward the declaration to committee of the whole, where the public can have input. Residents would have a chance to weigh at a council meeting no earlier than Feb. 26.

“There was a day when it was a good thing to accommodate a person’s disabilities, and then it eventually became a right,” Brice said. “You have to ask at what point do some of these fundamental environmental components become something which we, as Canadians, should expect.” editor@saanichnews.com

Rupert Yakelashek, 10, successfully lobbied City of Victoria councillors to become the first jurisdiction on Vancouver Island to adopt a declaration recognizing the Right to a Healthy Environment. Saanich is now considering a similar declaration.

Did you know? n Saanich’s Official Community Plan calls for all new development proposals to include metrics on climate change impact. Coun. Vic Derman is leading the charge to implement that assessment when new projects are presented at council. n Eight other municipalities in Canada have declared a right to a healthy environment since October. They include Victoria, Vancouver, Richmond, Yellowknife, Dunnottar, Man., The Pas, Man., Montreal, Que. and Austin, Que.

Ted Robbins, general manager, CRD integrated water services offers Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, chair of the CRD and CRD Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee a tour of the Clover Point pumping station on Jan. 8.

East side communities rally for sewage talks Christine van Reeuwyk Black Press

The Capital Regional District is expected to make it official – a working group of the three east side municipalities to scope out waste water treatment options for Saanich, Oak Bay and Victoria.

The CRD board is expected to approve a Wastewater and Resource Recovery Select Committee that would formalize discussions already underway between the municipalities of Saanich, Victoria and Oak Bay to identify wastewater treatment options as part of a comprehensive regional solution.

“The first thing we need to do is our due diligence – best practices sounding, where you take two, three months where you simply get an independent group who have an unimpeachable reputation to show us the best of what’s available for sewage treatment and resource recovery,” said Coun. Vic Derman, who sits on the CRD’s waste water management committee.

Nils Jensen, Oak Bay Mayor and CRD chair, said the working group would look very much like the one created last November by Colwood, Esquimalt, Langford, View Royal, and Songhees First Nation.

“There will be meetings in the three communities. There won’t be a lot of duplication, we’ll be sharing a lot of information,” Jensen said. “It allows us to work together and reach out to residents. There will be a lot of options on the table.”

The committee would be supported by the CRD and municipal staff to develop and evaluate subregional treatment options for their communities, conduct costing exercises and work with other municipalities to optimize existing conveyance infrastructure.

A series of open houses and an online survey is currently underway

to gauge resident input as well, Jensen said.

“It’s a matter of balancing the three issues, environmental, economic and social and what are the relative impacts,” Jensen said. “Until we get the costing of each of the options it’s going to be difficult for people to provide a meaningful opinion.”

Derman has been attempting to get the CRD board to look at alternative treatment technology and applications for the better part of seven years. He said last week’s motion to explore those options was a long time coming.

“We really need to get people the best environment benefit and financial bang for your buck. So we need to look at waste streams. If we do things properly, there are some really exciting prospects,” Derman said.

Derman envisions a waste plant that receives not only sewage, but kitchen scraps and other garbage now destined for the Hartland landfill.

“We have the potential to cause transformative change in the region.

If it doesn’t, you’ve done your homework. If the answer is positive, you could be making remarkable changes,” Derman said.

The CRD is required by federal legislation to treat its sewage to a secondary or greater level by 2020, and the province has set a sewage treatment deadline of 2018. Some directors are pushing for an extension of the provincial deadline to 2020 as well.

Last spring, the project to develop a regional wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point came to a grinding halt after Esquimalt denied required rezoning and the province declined to intervene. Work was meant to begin by the end of July 2014 on the projected $788-million plant.

New B.C. Liquor Store hurts private vendor Travis Paterson News staff

Another independent Saanich business is up in arms over Liquor Distribution Branch practices.

Sales have slowed at Saanich’s Hillside Liquor Store since a new B.C. Liquor Store recently opened in a renovated space across at Hillside Centre shopping mall, well within a kilometre of Hillside Liquor Store.

Manager Stacey Brennan of Hillside Liqour spoke on behalf of the 10-year-old store’s ownership group about concerns with the Liquor Distribution Branch’s ability and decision to open a new store within a kilometre of their own.

“As a private liquor store we cannot by law open a store within one kilometre of another private or government store,” Brennan said.

“That government liquor stores are allowed to do exactly that is an unfair business practise and it’s contrary to the promise the Liberal government made about 12 years ago that they would not be opening any more government liquor stores.”

Hillside Centre falls on the Victoria side of the North Dairy Road border, while Hillside Liquor Store is in Saanich.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps

Travis Paterson/News staff

Hillside Liquor Store service employees Emily Coulter and Tyler McCulloch hold popular craft beer and whiskey bottles. Store manager Stacey Brennan says their high quality customer service is integral to keeping the loyal customer base. agrees the zoning policy is flawed and needs to be corrected. However, she also believes the market will bear it out, as she was one of the Victoria councillors who voted in favour of rezoning to approve

the BCL store in January of 2014.

“The one kilometre rule should be even both ways and private stores shouldn’t be restricted to being a smaller space than a public store,” Helps said.

With a combined 13 govern-

ment and private liquor stores already within a three-kilometre radius of Hillside Centre there was no need to spend taxpayers’ money to open another store, Brennan added. She also cited that the LDB is advertising false

information claiming the government stores are less expensive than the private stores.

Hillside Liquor Store sells its products at the same price, even going as far to match special sales.

“Stores are chosen based on customer demand, considering things like location, population density and whether it is feasible in the community, “ said LDB spokesperson Tarina Palmer in a statement.

The new store is “essentially” the relocated Esquimalt store which recently closed and is also the only B.C. Liquor Store to open on Vancouver Island in the past two years.

“After the Esquimalt store was given notice that it would no longer be able to occupy the space it was leasing, we began looking at other options for serving the greater community,” Palmer’s statement said.

Last year Hillside Liquor Store presented a petition to Victoria council with more than 3,000 signatures opposing the new government liquor store.

“I don’t feel that we had any impact whatsoever at the rezoninghearing even though there were neighbour concerns,” Brennan said.

“It appeared the decision had already been made.” reporter@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Liquor reform?

Likely not The B.C. government’s umpteenth announcement on liquor reform came in late December, when many grocers received word that they would, indeed, be able to stock B.C. wines on their shelves as early as April 1.

But as Saanich News highlighted last week, the restrictive measures will only benefit grocers who maintain a store of 10,000 square feet and whose sales constitute 75 per cent food products.

In other words, smaller grocers like Peppers Foods in Cadboro Bay won’t be able to stock their shelves with Okanagan and Island-made vino for the convenience of customers.

The restrictions are meant to prevent convenience stores from selling alcohol, but the arbitrary regulations do local businesses a disservice by incentivizing customers to shop at larger, national chains.

Shop local indeed.

B.C. also has a moratorium on new private liquor store licences.

The 670 private retail stores licensed to sell alcohol in B.C. compete with 196 government-run outlets.

The government appears to play by another set of rules when it comes to relocating its own stores within a kilometre of private vendors.

In 2014, a new B.C. Liquor store opened up shop in Hillside Centre, just a stone’s throw from an established private vendor on North Dairy Road.

That happened despite a 3,000-person petition opposing the move and presented to City of Victoria council when the government applied for a rezoning application.

Liquor “reform” is also meant to drive up alcohol prices over the coming year, which begs the question: what’s there to celebrate?

Meanwhile the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today.

Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried. Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site.

The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs.

The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured.

One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C.

Vision Matters Dr. Charles Simons

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

What is 20/20 vision?

2x9.5 You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision.

But do you?

Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision.

20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes.

20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20.

The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas www.oakbayoptometry.com some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory.

Everybody’s visual Dr. Neil Paterson expectations are differentDr. andSuzanne satisfactory vision Sutter is far more complex than just being able to see Optometrists 20/20.

Without a recent reading to indicate how much heating oil was in the tank, crews have no way of making an accurate approximation of the oil spill, Machielse said.

The Kirby and Walter Avenue spills aren’t the first to cause financial headaches for homeowners. In 2012, a couple on Ambassador Avenue was forced to pay $48,000 in clean-up costs after insurance didn’t come through.

A 2011 report released by the University of Victoria’s environmental law clinic titled Preventing Home Heating Oil Spills in British Columbia, focused on seven suggested provisions to take part of the onus of clean-up costs off homeowners.

Among the recommendations were: improved physical requirements for tanks and equipment; limiting the length of time a tank can be in use; regulating oil delivery; inspection and monitoring requirements; tank decommissioning requirements; and direct economic incentives for homeowners to change heating fuels. So far, the provincial, regional and local governments have not taken action.

“The number of spills from failed tanks is growing, which puts Saanich’s waterways at even greater risk,” said Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming. “The provincial regulations aren’t at all preventative which leaves homeowners to potentially face shocking liabilities from oil contamination of their properties.”

To initiate discussion on oil tank spills, Fleming and Saanich South MLA Lana Popham are jointly hosting a community forum to discuss how to reduce risks for the environment and homeowners on Feb. 5 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Reynolds Secondary school auditorium.

Machielse was confident that no more oil will leak from the concerned properties, and he said

crews will continue their clean up. Property owners are responsible for hiring professionals to complete the work and for the municipality’s clean-up costs. editor@saanichnews.com

Guerra was traded to the Prince George Spruce Kings at the deadline and will remain in the BCHL. With the departure of Basra, Keane now becomes the Braves’ leading scorer and it is safe to say the team will need he and Finlay to produce right out of the gate for the team to continue its success.

Finlay’s goal Saturday was a good sign in this regard. They will also need to continue getting secondary scoring from the likes of Meek, Horvath, Jack Rachwalski and Hunter Atchison.

They also need to get healthy. Forwards Dayne Ellison and Seamus Maguire were out of the line-up again on Saturday and their veteran leadership could be important down the stretch.

The Braves now have 21 carded players with two cards left. While the roster is now pretty much set, they can affiliate players to Jan. 15 and can sign free additional free agents until Feb. 10.

Next up for the Braves are the Peninsula Panthers Friday (Jan. 16) followed by a trip to Comox Saturday (Jan. 17).

The league then takes a brief break for the 2015 All-Star game in Comox on Sunday Jan. 18 where the Braves will be represented by Jack Rachwalski, Seamus Maguire and Ben Meek. Meek is replacing the previously named Nyshan Basra.

The Braves head to The Q Centre Jan. 21 for a game against Westshore, then to Nanaimo on Thursday Jan. 22 for a match with the Buccaneers.

Saanich then returns home on Friday Jan. 23 for a 6:30 p.m. start with Kerry Park.

A renshi teacher in Saanich Don Denton Travis Paterson Victoria News

Don Denton/Black Press

Ken Marchtaler’s studio focuses on both the mental and physical aspects of martial arts.

The ancient teachings of the samurai warrior live on in a martial arts studio on Quadra Street where local karate expert Ken Marchtaler conducts his classes.

Last month the 57-year-old was awarded the distinguished karate title of renshi, or polished master, one of three samurai warrior titles.

It’s one of the highest levels of distinction in karate, and comes from a life spent dedicated karate’s physical and mental disciplines.

“If you want to progress to a higher level (in karate) then martial arts mindfulness and meditation needs to be part of your daily habits,” said Marchtaler.

From the Warrior Martial Wellness Centre space next to 24 Hour Fitness, the former banker practises and teaches mindful meditation and embryonic breathing, a higher level meditation, as well as karate’s trademark movements.

Despite Marchtaler’s initiative to teach both sides of martial arts, he’s not overlooking the

7x 7 HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man

HPO Communicatin

Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home?

When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

Homeowner

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities?

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

2303

Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program.

Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit

www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing:

Phone: 604-433-2218 Toll-free: 1-800-257-7756

H O U S I N G M AT T E R S

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.
