Covert spyware could be step over line: OIPC Travis Paterson News staff
Concerns raised by Mayor Richard Atwell over spyware installation on several municipal hall computers may be worthy of investigation, according to information presented by B.C.’s privacy commissioner. Last week, Saanich’s director of corporate services, Laura Ciarniello, released a statement on behalf of staff who handle software at the District of Saanich’s municipal hall and confirmed technicians had installed a program called Spector 360 on several computers, including one used by the Mayor. Ciarniello was responding to Atwell’s suggestion that data from his and other municipal computers was being collected on a centralized server known as “Langley.” While the statement did not go into details over what data or activity is monitored, Ciarniello did say the Mayor received a form which notified him of the software. “The Mayor was given this form at the time his computer was installed on Dec. 2. Although no signed form has been returned by the Mayor, computer access was granted to facilitate his role in the organization,” Ciarniello said. In an open letter released last week, B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham suggested it is highly unlikely that a municipality can justify the use of covert monitoring software. “There are two types of system monitoring of employees: overt and covert. Overt monitoring is done with the knowledge of the employee,” Denham said. Covert monitoring is done without an employee’s knowledge and could include tracking of Internet use, logging keystrokes or taking screen captures at set intervals, she said. In a press conference on Jan. 12, Atwell said Spector 360 includes all those capabilities. PlEASE SEE: Unanswered questions, Page A5

Katelyn Millard, 7, gets a haircut by Lizzy Lee and Me manager Caroline Woodbridge, who is organizing the Wigs for Kids Cut-A-Thon on Feb. 27 in support of the B.C. Children’s Hospital.
Cut-a-Thon for kids needs support Travis Paterson News staff
Keep those pony tails and that waste-length hair, and put it to a good cause. Lizzy Lee and Me children’s hair salon at Shelbourne Plaza is holding a Cut-A-Thon on Feb. 27 to support the Wigs
for Kids charity program. The B.C. Children’s Hospital initiative provides custom-fitted wigs to sick children, and makes life a little bit easier during a time of cancer treatment or other illness that causes hair loss. “To donate hair, you need a minimum 12 inches of length
but anyone can support the program by getting a haircut that day: men or women,” said organizer and manager Caroline Woodbridge. “The cost of the cut will be donated to Wigs for Kids.” The idea for a Cut-A-Thon started last year when a private group requested use of

Kitchen Scraps Diversion
JAN
2015
One New Year’s resolution we’ll all be making. A full disposal ban on kitchen scraps at Hartland landfill takes effect January 1, 2015. The ban will divert compostable items like vegetables, meat, bones, grains, dairy products, fruit and soiled paper that currently take up thirty percent of the landfill. At the same time, diverted kitchen scraps will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and will be processed into beneficial compost. So contact your waste hauler or municipality directly, plan for collection options and make a note on your calendar. Then we can all look forward to a happy, more sustainable New Year!

Hundreds out of work in Target closures Local MP, MLAs offer assistance navigating available government resources after layoffs Travis Paterson News staff
When former Tillicum Centre tenant Kevin Deleeuw heard that Target was moving into the former Zellers storefront in 2013, he willingly held out the nine month renovation period with the hope that the residual foot traffic would be a boon to his business. Instead, Target’s foray into Canada has been nothing but a bust. “(Target) brought less traffic than Zellers,” said Deleeuw, who closed shop and now operates his custom billiard table business from home and does mostly online sales. “When I talked to customers, they were disappointed in Target’s stock and prices, and I talked with other stores who suffered because of it.” Just 18 months after the U.S. big box store entered Canada, Target is pulling the plug on 133 locations across the country due to poor revenue and risk of bankruptcy. Had the store soldiered on in Canada, it wouldn’t have reached profitability until at least 2021, said Target chairman Brian Cornell. “We had great expectations for Canada but our early missteps proved too difficult to overcome,” Cornell said. “Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our company.” Target would not confirm the number of employees at its Tillicum Centre store, but a corporate spokesperson said a typical location employs 100 to 150 people, and added that all stores in Canada, including 19 in B.C., will likely be closed within 16 to 20 weeks. Tillicum Centre is owned and operated by national corporation RioCan, which is losing 26 Target stores across the country, representing 1.9 per cent of RioCan’s annual rent revenue. RioCan deferred comments regarding Target’s closure to a press release, but on its website said the remainder of Target’s Tillicum Centre lease and all other Target leases are guaranteed by Target’s U.S. parent company. “I don’ t know what’s going to happen,” said Camosun College student Adam Coloumbe, who is employed by Target through subcontractor United Cleaning, and said Target is United’s only contract. “I heard it’s three more months, then I’m not sure what I’ll do.” Victoria Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming and Victoria MP Murray Rankin are combining forces to create an information package for the estimated 200 Greater Victoria Target employees soon to be out of work. Another 100 to 150 employees will soon be unemployed in Nanaimo as well. “We’re asking Target management for

Target Canada, including locations at Hillside Centre and Tillicum Centre, opened to great fanfare in 2013. Customers failed to connect with the brand after a disappointing rollout across the country. access to the staff so we can help them,” Fleming said. “We want ensure they’re aware of their rights and access to employment insurance and career opportunities.”
New tenants for Tillicum not yet known Though the vacancy rate is low at Tillicum Centre, it’s not yet known what the mall’s operators will do with the two-storey Target space, which was originally filled by Eaton’s. One of the two satellite restaurants at Tillicum, Kelsey’s Restaurant, is vacant after that chain also folded nationally. The promise and potential of Tillicum Centre should be a catalyst to make Burnside/Tillicum a vibrant, modern neighbourhood in Saanich, said Rob Wickson, president of the Gorge Tillicum Community Association, who helped complete Saanich’s Tillicum action plan. “It’s become a suburban mall in an
urban setting, so it’s not an ideal use of the space,” Wickson said. “We’re interested in talking to RioCan. We’d love to see housing on the property, more diversity along the edges. It’s even better than Uptown because it has a high population nearby, there’s surplus space, surplus parking. It’s the perfect village for people who want to attend Interurban Camosun College, which is a bike ride or bus ride up the hill.” RioCan did have plans for residential towers where Montana’s and the former Kelsey’s restaurants are now located, but the property management firm has not yet filed development applications with the District of Saanich. Two rental buildings, Herons Landing and The Ardea, were recently erected across the street on Tillicum Road and offer 104 bachelor, one, two and three bedroom units. But the overall growth of the neighbourhood is slow, Wickson said. “We came to Tillicum because it wasn’t too expensive. London Drugs and Zellers
brought traffic and that’s why we were there,” said Deleeuw, who lamented Target’s closure. “I think Target employed twice the staff as Zellers. I don’t know what could go in there, but a food court is probably the most ideal use of the Target space if it’s going to be broken up.” Big box technology store Best Buy suffered a similar fate when it pulled out of its 38,000 square-foot lease at Uptown in January 2013. Renovations are now underway to convert Uptown’s former Best Buy space for new retailers. reporter@saanichnews.com

An increasing number of Victoria families face a journey with dementia, and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is stepping up to create awareness of available services. As caregivers for a person with dementia, they have many challenges, and the first step in dealing with some of the challenges is to learn about the disease, says the non-profit organization Alzheimer Society of B.C. “Education helps caregivers understand how communication and behaviours can change,” says Meriel Randerson, the society’s support and education co-ordinator for Greater Victoria. In February, the society offers a free workshop called Accessing Services, designed for people who are supporting a person with dementia. The workshop will review strategies for accessing support through a variety of sources in the community, from getting help from family

Unanswered questions remain in computer system audit Continued from Page A1
Neither the B.C. government nor City of Victoria use similar spyware to monitor their employees’ internet and computer usage, though security measures like firewalls are in place to avoid data breaches. “The threshold for covert monitoring is very high,” Denham said. “That being said, there have been no cases brought before this Office where covert monitoring was found to be justified under privacy law.” The only way to review data captured by Spector 360 is by following a secure administrative process triggered in response to an incident, Ciarniello said. Any review would have to be authorized by either the Chief Administrative Officer or Director of Corporate Services. That process has not yet been activated. It is not yet known to what extent the monitoring software is used at municipal hall. On Jan. 14, Saanich councillors dismissed the suggestion of spyware in

a unified statement. They said monitoring software was installed on several municipal computers following a third-party audit of the District of Saanich computer system in May 2014. The third-party data review recommended the installation of security software to protect the the municipal database from external threats and to monitor internal activity that may result from external threats, but it’s not yet known why the audit was requested. Repeated requests to Saanich’s corporate services department to obtain a copy of the thirdparty review went unanswered. After Saanich police Chief Bob Downie investigated the security installation and concluded no criminal act had taken place, Atwell asked the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner to investigate a potential conflict of interest. That OPCC investigation remains ongoing. Atwell has agreed to recuse himself from police board meetings when the issue arises.

Last year’s private event saw a dozen friends rally for their friend with a brain tumour. “Because it was a private event last year, we had to turn people away which we felt awful about, so this is our first public Cut-A-Thon but our second year doing it,” Scabar said. A customized wig can cost $1,800 to $3,000. Wigs for Kids is able to purchase the wigs at cost from Vancouver-based manufacturing company Eva and Co.

He said, she said irks residents Saanich likely had its most sensationalized news cycle in living memory last week, triggered by Mayor Richard Atwell’s bombshell news conference in which he admitted to lying about an extra-marital affair, suggested he had been targeted by police in multiple pullovers, questioned the legality of employee monitoring software, or spyware, and later called into question the independence of Saanich Police Chief Bob Downie for investigating the installation of said software by asking the B.C. Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner to look into the matter. Members of the Saanich Poilice Board asked Atwell to step down as chair while they awaited the results of multiple complaints put forward by Atwell to the OPCC, and asked B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton to probe whether Atwell should remain as chair as well. (Anton flatly refused and told the board members to figure it out. Atwell will remain as police board chair but recuse himself when conflicting agenda items arise, he says.) We don’t quite know where this is going to end, but it’s clear Saanich council needs to sort out its infighting and find a way to work with one another at the council table. More easily said than done, of course. There’s a case of “he said, she said” occurring right now between some councillors and Atwell, who seem to have suffered a breakdown in formal channels of communication. A similar, though less publicized, mess took place in North Saanich last term, with councillors walking out of meetings, eye-rolls, wild statements and even a meditation session. But through it all, the overall community leadership was maintained. To Saanich’s credit, the day-to-day business of council is getting done. Development applications are being scrutinized and voted on, bylaw amendments are passing as requested by staff and everyone is still showing up to council meetings. But let North Saanich serve as a lesson for Atwell: continued isolation may lead to a position of near-powerlessness, with the only true remedy being another election. That’s a long four years away.

It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modified canola oil, or smart meters. The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense. Take Vancouver (please). The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the central myth of hippy science. At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screening colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup. Try that one if you’re over 50.

LETTERS
Crown makes call on charges Re: Why we didn’t run the Atwell police story earlier, Editorial (Jan. 9) Your article regarding Mayor Atwell and the police intervention states that Mr. Atwell “chose not to pursue charges that night”. As the Chair of the Police Board should he not know that whether charges or laid or not is not his choice or anyone else’s choice? As I understand our system the police do their investigation. If they believe a crime has been committed and the evidence supports that conclusion, they
make a recommendation of charges to Crown Council. Crown then approves or disapproves based on the likelihood of conviction and with what’s in the public’s best interest. All Mr. Atwell or any other private citizen can do is either provide their support to the police in the investigation or withdraw that support, which may affect the evidence collected. Too early in his term to make comparisons with former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford but Mr. Atwell is sure racking
up the negative headlines and column inches in the very early days of his term. It’ll be very tough to lead an “open and transparent” municipal council if you’ve lost the trust of the those at the table with you and of those in the community. While he deserves his privacy, public and private life are not mutually exclusive when you seek out and hold office. Pete Lewis Airdrie, Alberta (Former Saanich resident)

Fletcher gets it right on water issue G.B. G.B. Re: U.S. ripping us off on water, B.C. Views (Jan. 7) I once wrote a letter to the Saanich News suggesting Tom Fletcher should change the name of his column but after his latest one about the “U.S. ripping us off on water,” I almost feel I should retract my words. This is an issue all of B.C. should have the same view on and an extremely important one at that. It’s not clear if Bill Bennett gave the ten year notice to exit the agreement but he certainly should have. I don’t think we could ever actually deny the U.S. access to our water as it
would ultimately lead to an invasion. We should however fire the warning shot that we want a fair dollar for the resource.
“We pay top dollar for the produce from (Calfornia) and yet give them the water for pretty much free.” Having just flown back from Peurto Vallarta, I saw nothing but desert out my
window for almost the entire trip until we got into Washington state. Lake Mead created by the Hoover Dam is so low on water that the dam is almost useless and California is screaming for more to feed the crops. We pay top dollar for the produce from there and yet give them the water for pretty much free. It’s totally crazy and will only get worse. The time to act is now. Way to go, Tom, for highlighting this ridiculous situation that I’ve ranted on about for decades to mostly deaf ears. Matt Taylor Saanich

Christmas hangover Workers pull apart a massive aluminium frame on Monday that supported a festive Christmas tree during the holiday season at Uptown Centre. The tree stretched to 16.5 metres in height and required a crew of at least six men to deconstruct on the cloudy but dry day. A wicked windstorm knocked out hydro to more than 30,000 customers across B.C., with southern Vancouver Island being the hardest hit. Gonzales Point had the strongest wind with a 90 km/h gust Sunday morning, while the Inner Harbour had winds up to 85 km/h and Victoria International Airport reached 74 km/h.

the Braves played backto-back games that Friday Jan. 16 – a 6-3 loss to the Peninsula Panthers – and Saturday , a 5-3 win over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings. The fatigue factor didn’t influence Maguire, as the 19-year-old forward scored the first two goals of the game for the South Division Sunday in what ended up as a 6-4 win for the North. For his efforts, which also included an assist, Maguire was named the South Division MVP for the game. Meek recorded an

Ask the Expert Seniors’ Edition Q: I understand that falling is the most common cause of injury in seniors. How can I prevent a fall? A: First, let’s learn some facts around falls…
• One-third of people aged 65 and over typically fall once or more each year. • Almost half of the admissions to long-term care facilities are fall-related. • Most falls occur in seniors’ homes. • Women are 3 times more likely than men to be hospitalized for a fall. How can I reduce the risk of a fall at home? • Falls usually happen due to loss of balance, side effects of medicine, impaired mobility or vision and environmental hazards. • Make sure stairs are well lit and free of clutter. • Remove all throw rugs or scatter mats or use a non-skid backing with flat edges. • Watch that your pets are not under foot. Place a bell on the collar so you know where they are. • Make sure there is a clear path from your bedroom to the bathroom. • Have a cordless phone near your bed. • Sit on the edge of your bed for a minute before getting up after a rest. • Keep your front entrance well lit – consider motion-sensitive lights. • Install grab bars by the toilet, bathtub and shower. • Avoid rushing or carrying too much. • Maintain an active and healthy lifestyle through exercise, good nutrition, regular physical check-ups and ear and eye exams.

ski played a vital role in the Braves’ 5-3 win over Comox on Saturday (Jan. 17), as Meek had a pair of goals and Rachwalski netted another. Nick Keane scored his first with the Braves on Saturday since joining the club at the trading deadline. Jordan Parmar tallied his fifth and Riley Mathieson was stellar in net for the Braves earning his fourth win in a row and stopping 22 of 25 shots in the winning effort. On Friday (Jan. 16) the Braves weren’t as lucky against the upward streaking Peninsula Panthers. Hunter Atchison scored twice and helped erase a 2-0 deficit as the game’s second star. Brandon Ward surrendered all six goals on 39 shots, his first in his last three starts. With the weekend split the Braves move to 14-20-0-5 and remain third in the South, three points up on the Islanders and six ahead of the Panthers. The Braves are at The Q Centre tonight (Jan. 21) versus the Westshore Wolves (7 p.m.), in Nanaimo tomorrow for a 7:15 p.m. tilt with the Buccaneers, and home Friday (Jan. 23) against the Islanders, 6:30 p.m. at Pearkes Arena. - Christian J.

Painter Ted Harrison leaves lasting mark Christine van Reeuwyk Black Press
With a healthy respect for those who purchased his work, Ted Harrison painted daily in his Oak Bay Avenue studio for years. Though he insisted he didn’t like being watched. “People like to watch artists paint. The artist becomes part of the scene,” he said on the warm summer day in 2012 just prior to closing the gallery he had opened six years earlier. “I don’t particularly like to be watched.” The famed Canadian artist died in Victoria on Friday at the age of 88. Born in County Durham, England, Harrison dreamed about the arctic as a child, reading the works of Robert Service and Jack London. In 1968, after years of travelling the world, he realized his dream and settled with his family in Yukon. “I got to know him in some detail when he and [his wife] Nicky first came to town,” said Oak Bay artist Robert Amos. “I could tell he was a little bit anxious about leaving his beloved Yukon. He got over that quick, in part because Bob Wright took him salmon fishing up at Langara Lodge.” Wright, of Oak Bay Marine Group and who died in 2013, created the event Painter’s at Painters Lodge in Campbell River. “Ted was one of the founding members of that, and to tell you the truth he was always the star. He was the senior guy,” said Amos, pointing out the other top-notch names that showed for the annual event. It was there Amos met and learned more about the iconic painter Harrison. “Ted’s not only a fantastic painter but the finest raconteur I have ever heard,” Amos said. “We’d be sitting in a group of 300 people … Ted always held everyone’s attention. No matter what else was going on.” Harrison came to Oak Bay in 1993 and opened the studio in 2006 where fans from near and far would come and watch him work. Well known along The Ave, not long before the studio closed in late summer 2012, Harrison moved to a residence just beyond Oak Bay boundaries in Saanich. The renowned artist was known for his colourful depictions of the Yukon – where he spent two decades – and the Pacific Northwest where he spent the past two decades. In 1987 he was awarded The Order of

While onsite he was simply “He was a man of solid integrity and had following a plan already conceived, Amos a character that reflected his upbringing,” explained. “He developed his paintings in his mind Gibson said. “These were miners who never knew if they would be coming home … so at night and he completely understood the these men were usually very religious, hard design, the drawing, the colours. It was working. They were honourable people and completely formed in his mind and when that’s who Ted was.

Amos worked alongside Harrison in the artists in schools program created by now Oak Bay arts laureate Barbara Adams at Monterey middle school. “Barb had us there every year to work with the kids at the school. Of Choose from 6 Entrees course Ted was always a great star, $ 95 but also he didn’t need to do this,” said Amos, noting Harrison was in his From 4:30 p.m. Reservations recommended. late 70s by this time. “He had a real commitment to kids. He travelled the 1520 McKenzie Ave. (corner of Cedar Hill & McKenzie) world and made himself available to (250) 721-2188 all sorts of groups and associations.” Harrison also authored children’s books including A Northern Alphabet and illustrated Robert Service’s The Cremation of Sam McGee and The Shooting of Dan McGrew.

Canada. In 2004, he was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and presented with the Order of British Columbia in 2008. After Nicky died in 2000, Harrison was a champion for Alzheimer’s awareness. Harrison also donated his personal archive to the University of Victoria library in 2011. Biographer Katherine Gibson has heard tales of Harrison’s work bringing joy to those suffering dementia or illness. She spent four years interviewing him for Ted Harrison: Painting Paradise. “Just recently I adapted that book into a children’s book, A Brush Full of Colour. I showed it to him and he looked at the painting on the cover… at this point Ted was failing, but I saw this twinkle in his eye and smile on his face,” Gibson said. “The tables had turned. Now he was getting pleasure in a very therapeutic way, that he’d given so many other people. Now his paintings were giving something very special to him. “That was my last reflection of him.”
