City man receives hundreds of patient records in error Patient info intended for medical clinic repeatedly sent to home fax machine Daniel Palmer News staff

A Victoria man is fed up after receiving at least 200 faxes that contain private patient information to his personal fax machine. David Mason said medical imaging requests that contain full names, birth dates, phone numbers, addresses, personal health numbers and doctors’ names of patients have been sent in error to his home for nearly a decade. Two of those documents con“The only positive aspect tained patient information of 111 people, of all of this is that the he said. “Almost all these faxes came to me and not forms are to do to somebody with malicious with breast imaging intent.” and many of them are time-sensitive,” – David Mason Mason said. One digit separates Mason’s fax number from that of a well-used medical imaging clinic in Victoria. Privacy guidelines established by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. require physicians’ offices to include a cover sheet with clear instructions to contact the sender if the fax is received in error, said Susan Prins, the college’s communications director. The college instructs doctors to investigate any privacy breach, contact affected patients in most scenarios and develop long-term safeguards to ensure breaches don’t reoccur. Mason, a retired B.C. government records researcher who dealt with Freedom of Information requests daily, said he always follows up with senders but that some medical office staff seem lackadaisical about the seriousness of the privacy violation. “The proper procedure is that the fax number is pre-programmed to avoid misdialing,” he said.

Teachers vote in favour of strike action B.C. public school teachers have voted 89 per cent to give their union authority for strike action in three stages. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said there is no set schedule on when work-to-rule action would begin. “There will be no job action tomorrow; there will be no job action next week,” Iker said after the vote results were tabulated. “It will depend entirely on what is happening at the negotiating table and whether or not the government and the employers’ association are prepared to be fair and reasonable.” After a year of bargaining sessions with an expired contract, the BCTF still has not presented a specific wage and benefit demand. Education Minister Peter Fassbender urged the union to present its opening position as negotiation sessions resumed last week. Union members were briefed before the vote on the initial wage offer delivered by Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school districts. It describes pay increases totalling 6.5 per cent over six years. Fassbender reiterated that class size and composition are up for negotiation as well as wages and benefits. More than 29,000 teachers voted, with 26,000 saying yes to the strike option that can be activated on 72 hours’ notice for 90 days. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria spray-paint artist ousted from long-time Inner Harbour spot Jay Seagrave-Peel plied his trade for 17 years on harbourfront Daniel Palmer News staff

For the past 17 summers, Norman (Jay) Seagrave-Peel has created and sold thousands of his signature spray-painted artworks along the Inner Harbour’s lower causeway. But last week, Seagrave-Peel was told he would be suspended this summer for what the artist called minor infractions: plugging into city power, playing music and rollerblading on the causeway. “I’ve been there for 17 years without one complaint from the public or City of Victoria, or any run-ins with police,” said the 35-yearold artist. In 2005, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority assumed management of 29 visual artists, 27 musicians and nine street performers in the lower causeway from the City of Victoria. (The Songhees Nation

controls vendor licences along the southern area of the lower causeway.) The GVHA refused to comment on Seagrave-Peel’s suspension, but in a statement said unclaimed or suspended licences are awarded to new performers by a jury of staff and artist representatives. “Each performer has a licence with GVHA which includes agreed business terms, a code of conduct and, in the event of disagreement between the parties, a dispute resolution process,” said Curtis Grad, GVHA president and CEO. Seagrave-Peel said he’s willing to serve his suspension, but worries he won’t get his prime performance spot back in 2015. “The city allocated the spot I use for one reason: because it’s such an open spot and there are fumes from spray can paint,” he said. “I made a couple of mistakes, and I’m willing to own up to them. But I don’t think I should be punished like this.” Visual artist licence fees have increased dramatically since the GVHA took over the program, from about $500 in 2005 to $1,425 this year. “The licence fee for artists has increased

gradually and modestly over the years and is comparable to fees charged by other vendor markets in neighbouring areas,” said Grad. Seagrave-Peel said he regularly does spray-painting in Kelowna and White Rock, where the annual licence fees are $45 and $150 respectively. In Vancouver’s English Bay, artists pay about $420 for the April-toSeptember season. Costs paid by Inner Harbour causeway performers are used to cover repair and maintenance like the replacement of slate tiles and heritage lighting, Grad said. The GVHA’s stated objective is to achieve market rate for all its operations, which leaves Seagrave-Peel skeptical about securing such a large Inner Harbour space next year. “It definitely seems like it’s one sided for the GVHA to make maximum profit out of the area,” he said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

RECRUITMENT

Victoria residents will be able to buy B.C. wine from grocery stores by early next year, with some stores connected to liquor stores that offer full selection including hard liquor. The provincial government released its framework for a major overhaul of liquor policy Thursday. It proposes a small number of new licences for Vintners’ Quality Alliance (VQA) wine sales from grocery store shelves, with future expansion to include B.C.made craft beer under the same licences. Changes to take effect by this summer include licensing B.C. wine and beer sale and tasting at farmers’ markets, permitting “happy hour” drink discounts at licensed businesses and removing the requirement for fenced beer gardens at approved outdoor festivals. The government is adopting a recommendation from provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall and other health officials to tie prices to alcohol content, in an effort to reduce over-consumption. editor@vicnews.com

City council OK’s Rockland development Victoria council approved a four-storey residential building in the 1000-block of Rockland Ave. The 14-unit Abstract Developments Inc. building will include 28 bicycle storage spaces and five car-share memberships for new owners. Some residents took issue with only 12 off-street parking spaces for the new development, but council agreed the site is ideally situated between transit and walking-distance amenities. Coun. Geoff Young voted against the rezoning application, citing concerns of overcrowded on-street parking on Rockland. The site was approved, however, as an optimal example of what council envisioned when creating the city’s new Official Community Plan. editor@vicnews.com

Obviously there’s a lot of doctors’ offices that have not been adhering to this,” he said. “Had this happened in the office where I used to work, there would have been an in-depth investigation.” When the patient records first began arriving at his home, Mason said he delivered them to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of B.C. for safe destruction. (Cara McGregor, privacy commissioner spokesperson, was unable to confirm specific case information. She said anyone who continues to receive personal documents in error should notify the privacy commissioner so that a formal investigation can be launched.) Mason now destroys the forms when they arrive after notifying the originating medical office, but said doctors need a 21st century method of sharing patient information. In 2007, the B.C. Ministry of Health launched a 10-year program to do just that by building networked and secure electronic health record systems. The province has since spent about $258 million on an online lab results database, medical tele-consulting technology and electronic medical record systems used internally

by about 4,300 B.C. physicians, said Kristy Anderson, B.C. Ministry of Health spokesperson. Anderson said the provincial Health Ministry was unaware of Mason’s case, but in general terms said: “We would encourage the private practices involved to work with their employees to review their processes and provide training to employees to ensure that such incidents didn’t happen again.” Record-sharing agreements between doctors and imaging clinics are often self-directed, while the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. provides general ethical guidelines. For example, physicians can use email to send patient information with the patient’s consent, but only when both parties are using encryption technology. Mason hopes that by going public, doctors will re-evaluate and better enforce their faxing policies, and that the Ministry of Health will create a more secure and standardized e-health record-sharing system. “The only positive aspect of all of this is that the faxes came to me and not to somebody with malicious intent,” Mason said. “Had this been my own medical information going astray, I would be extremely upset.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Spec-nation spins social media trend Acts of kindness counteract online neknominations Kyle Slavin News staff

Armed with video cameras, big hearts and a want to make a difference, students from Spectrum community school are conducting random acts of kindness throughout Greater Victoria. The surge of good deeds comes as the school aims to put a positive spin on a dangerous social media trend, known as neknominations. “Neknominations work by you videotaping yourself doing something stupid and then you nominate other friends to do something equal or worse, basically,” said Spectrum teacher Nick Van Iersel. “So we call ours SpecNominations, and the challenge is really straight-forward: do something that will leave the world in a better place than you found it. “It came out of a concern of ours around neknominations; we knew some of our kids had been nominated.” Van Iersel launched SpecNominations on Feb. 17 with a video of him paying for a coffee and muffin for five people at McDonald’s. “That is the nicest thing ever,” the McDonald’s employee tells him of his $8.35 purchase. Within two days of Van Iersel posting his video to YouTube stu-

dents began spreading positive change and posting their own exploits to social media. “One thing that really spoke to us was helping the less fortunate,” said Grade 12 student Pius Cuizon. He and friends Sage BarlowYoung and Jenna Lancaster were nominated by Van Iersel, and the first students to accept the nomination. The trio, along with Cuizon’s sister Eurica who filmed their good deeds, purchased 10 hamburgers and a large pizza, and offered hot food to Victoria’s homeless on a cold February night. “At first I thought it wasn’t a big deal, but I realized at the end of it that a little really does go a long way,” Cuizon said. “As long as you give the best you possibly can and have a heart and want to help others, you can make a difference.” At the end of their video, the Grade 12 students nominated their entire grad class to take on the challenge. Less than two hours

something onto someone to do something different, do something good.” Since launching two weeks ago, SpecNominations have extended to individuals outside of the school’s hallways. Students from other Saanich schools are taking up the challenge, as are Saanich police officers. Gosselin even nominated a friend in the United States. “It just seemed like it

They were so thankful and so happy. It made my day. I was getting jitters buy-

ing all the stuff because I was excited to see their reactions.” Victoria police Const. Paul Brookes is involved with the Greater Victoria school district’s Youth for Change and Inclusion group. It was during a meeting of that group when Van Iersel first pitched the idea of SpecNominations. “Everybody understands the philosophy of giving, but so often they don’t go out and do it. And this kind of

What are neknominations? n Someone records themself completing a challenge – typically involving drinking a large amount of hard liquor in a short amount of time. Upon completion of the challenge, they nominate other people by name to do the same. They then post the video to social media. n Recent news reports from the United Kingdom indicate police have attributed the alcohol-related deaths of five teenagers to neknominations. n Police in Ontario last week recommended a variety of charges against two teenagers after a video of their neknomination was posted to social media.

was a such a great idea to put a positive spin on neknominations. I have my opinions on how those are unnecessary – it’s really kind of a stupid act.

movement is giving that extra push to move kids out of their comfort zones and discover how gratifying, how wonderful these kinds of things are,” Brookes said. “It sets them up for life to be those change agents in our community.” Cuizon said he came away from the experience with an even greater understanding of generosity. It doesn’t matter how much or how little you have to give, everyone has the potential to make a positive difference in their community, he said. “I find that people over-think giving a lot. You don’t need to be rich to help. We’re all students right now. Just because you don’t have a lot of money shouldn’t stop you from helping other people,” he said. “It feels great to trigger

Shedding new light on an old idea Studio reconnects with lost art of photo developing Kyle Wells News staff

Nowadays when one thinks of a photograph the likely association is a duck-faced selfie taken on an iPhone with no print life beyond an Instagram posting. For some though, this simply will not do. Victoria’s Luz Studios is in the business of making the old new and the new old, using seemingly antiquated techniques to add an old-fashioned spin to modern photography. Through owners Quinton Gordon and Diana Millar’s own work, as well as through workshops run by the couple, the studio strives towards bringing a hands-on relationship back to the process of capturing images. “It was the frustration of the digital age taking it further and further away from being physically connected to what you’re doing,” Gordon said of the idea behind founding the studio. “There’s muscle memory in all of it. It’s what craftsmanship is, it’s you have to develop a hand and an intuition for it, as well as a technical knowledge.” One of the main

techniques the studio uses is the collodion process, a wet plate photographic process developed in the 1850s and used during the American Civil War. Specifically, the pair work in tintype, a colloidal process which creates a direct positive image on metal. The process itself is one of speed and precision. The photographer has about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare the plate, take the photograph and develop the image, or else it simply will not work. Despite the notable clarity and detail of the image, the nature of the process was seen as a major limitation and it fell out of favour when the new, more convenient gelatine dry plate technology came along. “We’re drawn to the characteristics of photography that originally were seen as its limitations,” Gordon said. “The need to work with that immediacy.” Millar said the process is also unusual for the person being photographed, in the case of a portrait. “There’s a slowness in there and you actually get to connect and relax,” Millar said. “There’s that one pic-

ture and you can be part of that process almost from start to finish.” The pair run workshops on a variety of photographic mediums and have run tintype workshops in locations such as schools and a farm in Saanich. They have built portable dark boxes which can be used in the field to develop photos. Workshops are often geared towards youth, but also adults who are interested in trying their hand at some old time plate and film photography. For some youth especially, the old technology can be quite a shock. “One of the boys comes up to me and is like ‘I think broke the camera,’ and it was actually the film rewinding, that sound. He had no idea,”

Quinton Gordon and Diana Millar are making what's old new through their photography business Luz Studios. The couple uses many seemingly antiquated photography techniques to put a unique, old-fashioned spin on modern photography. laughed Millar. “We know the excitement we get from making this art, and so the workshops are a great way to filter that down.” For more information on the studio, memberships for access to darkrooms and workshops visit luzstudios.com. editor@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Ferry service not dead, yet B.C. Ferries is digging its own grave with a shovel handed to it by the provincial government. With nearly $19 million in service reductions about to take place, not only residents will be left to mourn – it’s being buried in a coffin called tourism. Right on the front page of hellobc. com – B.C.s official tourism site – are three featured places to go, two of them on Vancouver Island. A visit to the site’s transportation page lauds the fringe benefits of ferry travel: “a deck-side view of breathtaking scenery not accessible by land and a high probability of spotting marine wildlife.” Great. If you can get on board and in a timely fashion. With reductions on dozens of routes, the elimination of some 7,000 round trips a year, the cut to the seniors’ discount, and with $4.9 million more in cuts to come, your chances of getting where you want to go are beginning to look dicey, if not pricey. The tourism site touts the Inside Passage route as a cruise through spectacular scenery. But at a cost of some $1,200 for a family of four, that one-day trip really takes a bite out of the typical family’s overall vacation budget. Tourism is a major industry in British Columbia, surpassing some of our more traditional revenue sources, and if the provincial government takes it seriously, it will want to take a closer look at how it is planning to not only attract visitors, but move them around the province. Cutting the already overpriced service is bad economics. It affects commuters, distribution of goods and services and makes it more difficult for visitors to take advantage of areas outside the Lower Mainland. Christy Clark puts a big emphasis on her BC Jobs Plan with tourism at the forefront, but cuts and rate hikes on B.C. Ferries can only cause job loss province-wide. The provincial government is responsible for both transportation and tourism – top priorities for all of us – but the government has an absence of vision for the management of B.C. Ferries, unless that vision is to stand by and watch as the ship is sinking.

Province needs clear vision for B.C. Ferries

punished for alleged negligence. The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal. What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extradry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned. Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park. It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial Park and Jasper National Park, without incident or scandal to date. But back to muffingate, as it’s become known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninterested in serious issues. I wish I was. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Taxpayers dollars sunk at sea Re: Families await the return of warship’s crew (News, March 5) As a taxpayer – training exercise or not – I am completely mystified why 17 members of the public and family members were onboard this vessel. It’s even more disturbing that the public or media don’t seem to be raising the issue. Who paid for their flights to Hawaii? Who paid for their

transportation and food on board? If there’s an accident, who pays the costs of medical care? Did looking after family in any way contribute to the fire that occurred through lack of attention or direct action? What happens in medical emergencies or if the ship is surprisingly attacked? Did any public members suffer injuries during this particular incident? Who came up with the idiotic

idea to have family aboard a warship? The headlines could easily have read, “17 family members killed at sea.” The crew sign on for this work and if they can’t deal with long deployments, there’s other jobs available. A bushel of Freedom of Information requests are needed to shine a light on this stupidity. Stan Bartlett Victoria

Putin no worse than Ukraine fascists Re: Russian military justified in entering Ukraine (Letters, March 5) If anyone studies the history and geography of Ukraine, he would know that the new opposition parties of West Ukraine are now dominated by extremists (similar to what has happened in Syria). Those in power are known for their fascist views and behaviour. There is on record the fact that the new West Ukraine leadership has used snipers on its own citizens (the Estonian foreign minister gave evidence of this); that it has destroyed synagogues and hired oligarchs to rule.

We do not like Putin, but he is no worse than West Ukrainian fascists. Furthermore, parts of Europe will suffer from a loss of Russian-supplied energy (natural gas etc.) if the U.S., supported by Canada, creates a war. Christine and Melville Johnston Victoria

Caution urged in cycling plan Re: Cyclists urge city to go big on two wheels (News, March 5) With all due respects for Tom Berkhout’s cycling infrastructure campaign, as a cyclist of nearly 80 years and a resident of Greater Victoria for half that time, I urge the City of Victoria to exercise great caution in spending on “cycling infrastructure.” What makes a city “bicycle friendly” is largely cyclists who understand traffic law, abide by it and are visible and courteous. Undoubtedly there is the odd place where some street alteration would help, but putting bike lanes all over the place would be a huge waste of money or worse. For example, bike lanes extended into intersections (and in and across driveways) are a real hazard, encouraging cars to make right turns from

If the public schools would use some physical education time for cycling instruction and encouragement, such as cycling to school, instead of promoting activities which have little adult carry-over, then the benefit would be of great help while not incurring extra public expense.

Reaching back for baroque with rare operatic treat Boston Early Music Festival brings back 1600s Don Descoteau News staff

A couple of points stand out when considering the impact and significance of this weekend’s baroque opera performances in Victoria by the renowned Boston Early Music Festival. Not only is it the first time in recent memory that the city has staged an opera based on 17th-century music and dance, Victoria is one of just two places the Boston group will perform French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers (The Descent of Orpheus into Hell) and La Couronne de Fleurs (The Crown of Flowers) on its current mini-tour. The other? New York City. “This is a huge event for us,” says James Young, artistic director of the Early Music Society of the Islands, which is co-producing the two-night event along with Pacific Opera Victoria. “This is the kind of event you will normally only see in a much larger centre like Boston or New York.” While listening to and watch-

ing baroque opera performed by musicians and performers from one of the world’s leading early music ensembles will be a treat, what else might audience members notice? “There’s never been anything staged and performed here in the style of the (1600s), which is what the Boston Early Music Festival specializes in,” Young says. Not only is dance more prevalent in 17th-century French opera, the combination of voice and movement is a “very much more stylized and formal kind of performance, he says. “It’s an adjustment to see it, but I think when it’s done properly it can really engage an audience.” People will also notice a difference when they look into the orchestra pit, Young adds. Besides such period instruments as baroque guitar, violin, recorder, oboe and harpsichord, the ensemble includes a theorbo, a multi-headed, 14-stringed, lute-style instrument which produces soft mellow sounds not unlike a harp; and a viola da gamba or viol, which is larger and deeper sounding than a violin and can be plucked or bowed. Bringing in an ensemble of the stature of the Boston Early Music Festival presents a financial risk for the local baroque group, one it could

He has other ideas brewing for concerts involving guest performers and as such, the success of this weekend’s shows will go a long way toward planning future special events. “Pacific Opera Victoria is

interested in doing another coproduction,” he says, noting that such a partnership makes sense. “If you look at baroque music, the highlight of it is opera.” The concerts happen at 8 p.m. Friday (March 14) and Saturday at the McPherson Playhouse. Pre-performance lectures by Boston Early Music

CRD leases back failed sewage site to food supplier Daniel Palmer News staff

The Capital Regional District is leasing an Esquimalt industrial property it purchased last year back to the building’s current tenant. The 4.2-acre Viewfield Road site, in Esquimalt’s light industrial park, was purchased last March for $17 million as a potential alternative to Hartland landfill for a biosolids plant, part of the CRD’s $783-million sewage treatment program, Seaterra. The proposal was eventually axed after overwhelming opposition from surrounding residents and local politicians. But the site’s current tenant, Wilson Foods, wasn’t meant to vacate the space until next September when the CRD takes possession. Instead, Wilson Foods will pay $1.3 million to stay at the site for another year with the option for renewal. The lease agreement will cover temporary loan interest, operating costs, insurance and property taxes and help the CRD pay down mortgage principal, said Andy Orr, CRD spokesman. The CRD board has a three-month lease termination clause to vacate about 20,000 square feet of the 126,000 square-foot site if it finds a more suitable use for the property, Orr said. The Viewfield property is valued at $13,950,000 in 2014 by B.C. Assessment. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Nominations sought for Beaver Medal The Maritime Museum of B.C. is inviting nominations for the Beaver Medal, an award that recognizes outstanding contributions to the marine sector. The museum encourages nominations for anyone who has contributed to B.C.’s marine environment. “This will be the third opportunity for British Columbians to recommend someone whose work has made a major contribution to our province’s diverse maritime scene,” said Jan Drent, who heads

the museum’s medal project. The gold-plated medal is struck from copper salvaged from the 19th century paddlewheel steamship S.S. Beaver, built in England in 1835 for the Hudson’s Bay Company. This iconic vessel pioneered commercial navigation on the B.C. coast as a floating trading post, hydrographic survey ship and towboat. Nominations for 2014 close on May 15. Nomination information can be found online at mmbc.bc.ca.

Saanich wrestler grabs third B.C. title Nationals loom large for Claremont competitor

September 9 - 13

Don Descoteau News staff

Nolan Mitchell has gold on his mind. Never mind that he captured his third straight B.C. High School Wrestling Championships gold medal recently in Prince George. The gold he’s mining for is the reward for a national champion. Mitchell, a 17-year-old grappler who attends Claremont secondary in Grade 11 but trains in Duncan with the Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club, will compete for Team B.C. at the 2014 Asics Juvenile Canadian championships April 4 to 6 in Guelph, Ont. “I love the trip and the competition, but I want to bring back the gold,” said Mitchell, who competed in the past two national tournaments and finished third both times. He expects to see many of the same opponents, but has a good feeling about his chances this time around. “I think they’re pretty good, but it always depends on who comes,” he said.

Over 3500 BC 55+ Seniors expected to attend.

Claremont secondary’s Nolan Mitchell, left, maintains a firm grip on opponent Navdeep Toor of Coquitlam’s Rick Hansen secondary in the 48-kilogram provincial final. Mitchell captured his third gold medal in as many years with an 8-5 win over Toor. That modesty somewhat matches his style on the mats. Wresting for the 48-kilogram division gold medal at the B.C. high school tournament, Mitchell fell behind 2-0 after the first of two rounds, having been pushed out of bounds twice by opponent Navdeep Toor of Rick Hansen secondary in Coquitlam. Not one to get flustered, Mitchell stuck to his strategy

of looking for openings, striking quickly and keeping consistent pressure on his opponent and came away with an 8-5 win. “It all depends who I’m wrestling, but I always like to stay a little bit conservative,” he says. “I wasn’t letting him control the match and the movement.” The win was Mitchell’s fourth (fifth) without a loss in

the double-knockout draw. The nationals feature the same format, with wrestlers who lose an early first match being forced to take a long route back to the medal round. One other Greater Victoria wrestler made top five at the provincials. Mitchell Keeping from Esquimalt High placed fifth in the 74-kg division. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Greater Victoria teams heat up at hoops B.C.s In the battle for Saanich basketball supremacy, Lambrick Park Lions defeated St. Michael’s University School Blue Devils at the B.C. high school boys championships on Saturday. The Lambrick senior boys beat SMUS 70-64 in the AA division final at the Langley Event Centre on Saturday. Matt Neufeld (Lambrick) earned dual titles as both best defensive and most valuable player of the tournament. Ishmael Abdulahi (Lambrick), Jason

Scully (SMUS) and Calvin Somers (Lambrick) were named to the first all-star team. Graeme Hyde-Lay (SMUS) was named to the second team. Also last weekend in Langley, Oak Bay’s senior Breakers girls posted a 67-66 upset of No. 2 Holy Cross in the AAA semifinals before losing 64-57 to the No.1-ranked Brookswood Bobcats of Langley. Breakers star Lauren Yearwood was named most outstanding defensive player of the tournament and joined

teammate Morgan Roskelley on the first all-star team. Claremont’s senior girls finished 11th in the tournament. The Island champion Oak Bay junior girls, initially barred from the provincials due to a clerical error, finished ninth overall in their tournament. Claremont’s senior boys compete in the 4A boys provincial championships starting today (March 12) in Langley. reporter@saanichnews.com

‘Nephew’ scam snares another victim A 50-year-old Victoria resident is the latest victim of the “nephew” scam, after someone impersonating a relative in trouble successfully bilked the victim out of $2,000 last week. This time, the scam was initiated by a man who claimed to be the victim’s nephew, followed by a call from another man pretending to be a lawyer. The callers claimed the victim’s nephew had been arrested for drinking and driving in Ontario, and that they needed bail money. After the victim wired the money, the real nephew was contacted which revealed the fraud.

“To help minimize your chances of falling victim to one of these elaborate scams, do your research,” said Det. Dawndra Tolsma of VicPD’s financial crimes section. “Check with other family members, ask questions that only the real family member would know … or call local police departments. The best person to lookout for you is you.” VicPD is reminding residents to educate themselves during Fraud Prevention Month in March. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is Canada’s leading online resource for scams. dpalmer@vicnews.com

House sales pick up heading into spring

Home sales in Greater Victoria are following their annual trend with a slight improvement over last year as the busy spring and summer sales season approaches. February sales were up 4.6 per cent from one year ago with 412 sales, while the benchmark price for a Capital Region home dropped about $7,000 from February 2013

to $483,400. The sale of David Foster’s $5-million condo at Shoal Point in Victoria was the most lucrative sale of the month, while eight waterfront dwellings traded hands. The benchmark home price was $534,000 in Victoria, $396,900 in Vic West and $412,900 in Esquimalt for February.
