FOI results on spying software reveal big costs Daniel Palmer News staff

The installation and use of employee monitoring software at Saanich municipal hall could cost the municipality at least $30,000 in 2015, thanks to licensing and maintenance agreements that were confirmed before B.C.’s privacy commissioner launched an investigation into the District’s practices earlier this year. Emails released Monday through a freedom of information request show Saanich’s Information Technology department underwent training on Nov. 24, 2014 and installed Spector 360 – which is capable of capturing keystrokes as well as continuous screen images of employee activity – on an unknown number of computers at a cost of $1,992. Two invoices dated Jan. 14, 2015 reveal Saanich was given the option of paying another $29,250 for further licencing and one year of maintenance, or $43,992 for licencing and three years of maintenance by SpectorSoft Corporation, which sells Spector 360. The software had been monitoring activity on several municipal computers until Jan. 20, when the B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham launched an investigation into its use. The FOI response also reveals Laura Ciarniello, Saanich’s director of corporate services, sent an email on Dec. 2 to IT manager Forrest Kvemshagen approving the software installation. Mayor Richard Atwell and council were sworn in on the same day. “I approve of this program and the machines that it has been installed on,” Ciarniello wrote in the email to Kvemshagen. “I have spoken with the Directors and Paul about this and I left it with (former CAO) Paul (Murray) to discuss with [redacted] and [redacted] or not.” Murray was on vacation leave on Dec. 2 and left the municipality on Dec. 16 with a $468,000 payout. Ciarniello was on vacation Monday and was unavailable for comment. PlEASE SEE: Software investigation, Page A2

Privacy investigation into software to be released by end of March Continued from Page A1

Mayor Richard Atwell went public about his concerns over the “spyware” on Jan. 12 and said Spector 360 had been installed on his computer and several other computers without

his knowledge or consent. Atwell told the News on Monday that he will wait for the privacy commissioner’s report before commenting on the FOI revelations. “I will be more than happy to comment when the OIPC

releases its findings,” Atwell said. Interim CAO Andy Laidlaw said the District provided all necessary information to Denham on its use of Spector 360 and will wait to respond to the recommendations in her report. editor@saanichnews.com

For orchid lovers, patience pays off Annual Victoria Orchid Society Show brings rare, exotic varietals from across B.C. Daniel Palmer News staff

Don Mills reaches gently through hanging moss and gnarled roots towards a pot holding a brilliant orange and red orchid, the delicate flower perched upon a thick, bamboo-like stem. The Brazilian Tropical Flare – also known as a “Magic Fire” – from the Cattleya variety sits comfortably inside Mills’ humid backyard greenhouse, where he has patiently wooed elusive blooms from all corners of the globe for the past two decades. “People are often disappointed when they buy orchids from a flower shop and they won’t re-flower,” says Mills, feeling the moss surrounding the plant for moisture. “But avid orchid growers are patient people. We sometimes wait 10 to 15 years for a plant to flower.” On March 14 and 15, orchid enthusiasts from across B.C. will gather at Our Lady of Fatima parish on Elk Lake Road for the

LEARN ONLINE

annual Victoria Orchid Society Show. Orchid societies from four areas of the province gather each year for bragging rights and to sell some of the 25,000 to 30,000 orchid varieties that are lovingly maintained in amateur greenhouses and homes, despite their unnatural local existence. There are about 75 members of the active Victoria Orchid Society, many of whom meet monthly and organize greenhouse tours each July and August, said Art Macgregor, society committee member. “We’ve been running this show for decades now, about 30 years,” he says. “The vast bulk of orchid growers are amateurs, but we do have displays from commercial growers as well.” Hundreds of blooming orchids, many unseen at conventional flower shops, will be on display at the show, while a separate sales area will allow home growers to get their hands on lesser known varieties from South America, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean and India. “The big gorgeous beauties

are usually from Brazil or Asia,” Macgregor says. Mills attended the first orchid society show in 1986 and hasn’t looked back. He began by experimenting with indoor heating lamps. “One of our members received a knock at the door from the police once to check if he was running a grow-op,” Mills says. Today, his temperaturecontrolled and homemade greenhouse includes a misting system, adjustable heaters, double-layered walls and even a harvested fan from an old home heating system. “Running an orchid greenhouse does have a bit of engineering involved,” says Macgregor, his feet crunching along the crushed stone floor to point out tiny orchid blooms. “There are endless varieties of everything from the size of your thumbnail to plants 10 to 15 feet in height.” Macgregor points out amateur growers should remember that orchids love three things: love light, heat and moisture.

As Macgregor turns to leave the tropical room, Mills grabs a tiny potted plant and calls out to his friend. It’s a parting gift not uncommon amongst society members, who trade orchids and share growing tips in their life-long hobby. “People really should come to the show,” Mcgregor says as he pushes his way through a plastic sheet to the outside world. “This is the only occasion in the year where people in Victoria have access to such high quality and variety of orchids.” The Victoria Orchid Society Show runs March 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and March 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $7, or $6 with a $1 off coupon available online at the society’s website.

Keeping the provincial minimum wage below $15 an hour will hold many people in Victoria under the poverty line, says the organizer of Victoria’s Fight for $15 campaign. Premier Christy Clark announced work is underway to extend the series of increases that brought the minimum wage up to its current rate of $10.25 an hour. Tara Ehrcke, organizer of the Fight for $15 campaign and a teacher, said providing regular increases is good, but she is disappointed the focus was on ruling out increasing minimum wage to $15 an hour. “That number represents pulling people out of poverty,” she said. “A government who’s thinking about the long term health of our communities would want people who work to live above the poverty line. We can afford to ensure that everybody has adequate housing, has adequate food on the table [and] is able to have a good education.” People working full-time earning minimum wage currently have a difficult time paying basic expenses, said Victoria MLA Rob Fleming. “The minimum wage needs to move in the upward direction,” he said. “Making life more affordable and allowing people to have money left over after they pay for expensive rents and housing costs here is essential.”

The effects of increasing minimum wage on employment is mixed, said University of Victoria economics professor Martin Farnham. Although it is generally predicted that a wage increase will result in a higher supply of labour and a lower demand, therefore reducing employment, the empirical results are not as clear. Increasing the minimum wage could cause employers to change the type of employees they hire. “Firms that rely on teenage parttime workers may shift to more educated or experienced employees who weren’t willing to work at the old minimum wage, but are willing to work at the new, higher minimum wage,” said Farnham. While increasing minimum wage may have a positive impact on employees who see increased pay, those costs could be passed off to the consumer, said Elisabeth Gugl, University of Victoria economics professor. “If employers would just hire the same amount of people but pay them more, then at least for local businesses, you would probably see higher prices for the consumers.” editor@saanichnews.com

Biz students prove their talents Travis Paterson News staff

Camosun College’s school of business students finished top-five in the real-world challenges and case-studies as the school hosted the recent Collegiate DECA Pacific Northwest Regional conference at the Hotel Grand Pacific, Feb. 19-21. The conference attracted nearly 200 people participating as either competitors, judges, advisors, volunteers, sponsors and guests, the first time it had been held outside the U.S.A. “Support from our local business community was incredible,” said Camosun DECA president and student, Duncan Hauser. “This event doesn’t happen without it. Our network of local business connections supplied us with 37 high quality judges, 5 outstanding guest speakers and multiple sponsors.” Speaking at the conference were Steve Hemphill, vice presi-

dent of Viking Air’s supply line, Steven Myhill-Jones, founder of Latitude Geographics, Ryan Sykes, a local chartered accountant, Stacey Toews a co-founder with Level Ground Trading and Jennifer Garrett, the director of operations for Power to Be Adventure Therapy. Camosun students competed in 15 individual and team challenges, solving real-world business case studies against a field of 100 post-secondary Deca members from across the Northwest. It counted as the preliminary qualifying round for the upcoming International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Fla, April 18 to 21. Camosun students finishing top-five in individual events were Michael Pal in accounting, Sarah Lindsay in hospitality, Chris Pal in human resource management, Ellen Young in marketing management and Janna Lantz in entrepreneurship.

FOI reveals curious chatter A freedom of information response sent to Saanich News by the District of Saanich on Monday offered the first glimpse into the weeks leading up to explosive revelations about the installation of employee monitoring software at municipal hall. The most curious discussion within the 140 pages of documents is an email exchange between corporate services director Laura Ciarniello and IT manager Forrest Kvemshagen. In that Dec. 2 exchange, Kvemshagen makes clear no one in the IT department had “taken any steps to inform these individuals of the monitoring activities and we leave that to you to follow up as required. Let me know if you would like us to take any action on this,” he writes to Ciarniello. Mayor Richard Atwell maintains he was never informed of the installation of the monitoring software on his work computer. Spector 360’s software capabilities include keystroke logging and screen capturing, and B.C. privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham has previously stated her office has not reviewed a case where monitoring of employees to such an extent has been justified without cause. The FOI results suggest at least some of the individuals who were slated for monitoring by the Spector 360 program (unfortunately, the FOI results redacted the list of names) were not notified of the software’s installation. Kvemshagen’s last sentence also suggests his department may have been aware they were navigating through foggy waters: “In order to ensure there is appropriate authorization in place for this work, please reply to this email stating your approval,” he writes to Ciarniello. Former CAO Paul Murray should have been the authority to ultimately sign off on this installation; he was reportedly on vacation leave on Dec. 2. The reply email from Ciarniello approves the program’s installation on a redacted number of computers. Ciarniello then mentions she has spoken to “Paul” about the approval, and says she’s left it up to Murray to notify redacted parties. Could those parties be Mayor and Council? We can’t be sure of that, but we do know the privacy commissioner’s report is undoubtedly going to cause fireworks when it publishes later this month. Curious chatter at municipal hall, indeed.

Well, it could advertise expected. these programs. The government “We were surprised to learn of the does lots of advertising, but not about lack of awareness among seniors, old news like the SAFER program, particularly low-income seniors, which dates back to the 1970s. of government programs and the Clark’s government did a whack subsidies available to assist them,” of advertising in the election year, Mackenzie said.

Then last year the government’s big ad campaign was around the teachers’ strike, and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions. Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. This demonstrates that the government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it. The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart. Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all.. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Get cracking on regional, advanced sewage solutions CRD staff recently presented a Core Area Liquid Waste Management orientation for new committee members. Some directors and many residents seemed surprised to learn that most of the sewage from Saanich flows via the northwest trunk sewer to Macaulay Point but Saanich is not represented on the Westside Solutions select committee that is looking for options to deal with this discharge. One curious resident questioned if this meant it would be necessary to put a plug in the Saanich sewage pipe flowing to Macaulay Point if the Westside Solution dealt only with their own flows. The answer would seem obvious but it should not be. Saanich has a potential option to treat its sewage to tertiary standards, to reuse the reclaimed water for beneficial uses and to gasify the sludge for heat and power generation - all within its own borders. No new long deep offshore outfall, no sludge pipeline to Hartland, no anaerobic digesters! The Westside and the Eastside have similar options.

The technical solutions for tertiary treatment are well-known and proven, incorporating compact modular units and energy efficient equipment that require less space than traditional processes. Tertiary treatment plants of the size needed for Saanich have been constructed elsewhere for unit costs comparable to SeaTerra’s defunct proposal for secondary treatment at McLoughlin Point. Reuse of reclaimed water for wetland habitat replenishment, stream flow augmentation, aquifer recharge and agricultural irrigation are all feasible and viable options in Saanich that do not require extensive purple pipe distribution networks. Selected applications can be combined with stormwater management to mitigate the impacts of impermeable surface runoff and improve water quality. Research and trial installations have been completed in several locations and additional work is pending further funding.

Gasifiers have been also been around for a long time, but design innovations for the use of sewage sludge and organic wastes are relatively new. However, extensive pilot plant studies and optimized installations have demonstrated that some types of gasifiers are a much cleaner and cost effective alternative. Toxic materials removed from sewage in the tertiary treatment plant are destroyed in the gasifier and not discharged into the ocean nor applied onto the land. The obvious question that remains is one of cost. Capital and life cycle costs for each alternative must be calculated carefully, compared on an equitable basis and verified by an independent third party. My investigations and initial feedback from participants at the Westside open houses suggests the options outlined above are economically viable. Our elected officials should now follow through and find the appropriate answer to Mr. Wick’s question. Oscar Regier Victoria

Mulcair touts NDP jobs plan in local visit Rosie Townshend-Carter Black Press

Federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair made a whistle stop in Victoria on March 5 promoting middle-class jobs and vowing to help small businesses with a visit to Fort Street Cycle. Victoria MP Murray Rankin, who keeps his constituency office nearby, said small business remains important to Victoria. “Eighty per cent of our job creators are small business,” he said. Rankin said keeping small businesses in Victoria is diffi-

cult and they need help. “A lot of these store fronts [on Fort Street] are now empty, people are needing help.” Mulcair’s focus was on eliminating credit card fees small businesses face. Small businesses pay a “merchant discount fee” that ranges from 1.5 per cent to three per cent. The fee covers things such as terminal rentals, fraud protection and transaction slips. Another issue Rankin raised affecting current small business owners is the small business tax rate. Currently set at 11 per cent, the NDP hopes it can reduce

Ah yes, a New Year and all those resolutions you don’t keep. Attending to your eye health is one resolution you should keep. A complete eye examination is your most valuable tool in ensuring a lifetime of healthy eyes and clear vision. To provide you with the best eye and vision care, your Optometrist needs to know a few things about your health, how you use your eyes, and any unusual symptoms you may be experiencing. Make it clear what you want or what is bothering you at the beginning of the exam. Some people wait until the very end of the exam to mention what is really worrying them. Perhaps this is from embarrassment or the feeling that the complaint is trivial, but the Optometrist will be better able to give the problem the time and attention it requires if it is mentioned early. Few complaints are silly and even minor symptoms can be important. Know your medications or, even better, bring a list. Knowledge of your family history of eye disorders is extremely helpful. If you have a complaint like a headache, try to describe it as accurately as possible: time of onset, duration, frequency etc. Be able to describe your work environment. Knowing the distance to your computer or desk makes it much easier to prescribe and design the appropriate spectacle lens. www.oakbayoptometry.com Consider the hobbies and sports in which you participate. You may use your eyes Paterson differently for Dr. Neil recreational activities than you do for your job, Dr. Suzanne Sutter or you may require suitable eye protection.

Amphibians are finding their way onto Prospect Lake Road in shocking numbers, according to a count done by a local conservation group. Biologists from the Habitat Acquisition Trust have been surveying local roads after reports of dead frogs,

and found 84 dead and 34 live Pacific treefrogs within about an hour. The survey was along a short section of Prospect Lake Road bordering a wetland. “This is just one small section of one road. Imagine the numbers of amphibians that are being killed across the region. We knew amphibians in Victoria were crossing roads but are alarmed about

the high observed mortality rates,” said biologist Kristiina Ovaska. Ovaska and volunteers visited other busy regional roads on a wet night to count the damage elsewhere. At the end of the night, 144 frogs were found. HAT says every year frogs and salamanders are killed on busy roads as they head towards wetlands to breed. “We were shocked

this year when we went out and found dozens when we thought we’d see a few here and there,” said Adam Taylor, executive director of HAT. Amphibians follow the same path from forest to pond in the spring each year. With the addition of residential and commercial developments, more trees are removed and important wetland habitats are drained, Taylor said. “This significantly reduces available habitat for them to live, and what is left has been divided and fragmented by our extensive road networks,” he said. Reducing the pancake frog population is possible by using small fences to redirect amphibians to lit culverts, and tunnels can be created if needed, Taylor said. “But first, we need to know where the problem spots are,” he said. Late at night or early morning is when frogs are most noticeable. If you witness any amphibians sightings, squished or mobile, call the frog roadkill hotline at 250-995-2428 or email hatmail@ hat.bc.ca.

A Saanich field hockey player is lacing up with the national squad after another strong season with the University of Victoria Vikes. Rosie Beale, a fivefoot-two defender and Claremont secondary grad, was recently named to the senior development team. She’s among a handful of newcomers who are making their first tour with the women’s national team for Round 2 of the Women’s World League this weekend in Dublin, Ireland. In three years as a Vike, Beale has been named a Canada West 1st Team All-Star, and helped her team win the 2013 Canada West title and finish second in the CIS final, where she was also a CIS Championship All-Star. “Rosie had an excellent Canada West season for the Vikes, and was awarded a CW all-star,” said Vikes field hockey coach Lynne Beecroft. “She is

On Women’s Day, pioneering science work remembered Groundbreaking scientists left lasting legacy in plant pathology Travis Paterson News staff

Studying a dying leaf of an arbutus tree on the edge of Francis-King Park in Saanich, Dr. Brenda Callan points out the different patterns of fungi that turn the iconic tree’s green leaves brown during winter. “It’s winter distress and it’s pretty common as the arbutus are on the northernmost edge of their territory here,” says the research scientist with the Pacific Forestry Centre. “It doesn’t mean they’re dying, though they certainly are vulnerable.” Callan, whose work focuses on fungi and trees, has fielded calls for the past 25 years from residents concerned about the health of arbutus trees in Greater Victoria. She’s also a local mush-

room specialist, on call to emergency rooms where she identifies poisonous mushrooms eaten by unsuspecting victims. Under her arm, Callan carries three reference books – two from the 1920s and one from the 1940s. All are originals produced by female scientists and still relevant today, but from a time when women were rarely recognized as leaders in their field. The demographics of the science field today look starkly different on the eve of International Women’s Day (March 8), but the anniversary holds special significance for Callan. She relies regularly on the work of four Canadian women who were pioneers in the field of fungi and their effect on trees and wood: Dr. Irene Mounce (1894-1987) of Cumberland, Dr. Clara Fritz (1889-1974), Dr. Ruth Macrae (1903-1993) and Dr. Mildred Nobles (19031993).

Spartan to join Vikes Claremont basketball star has medaled twice at Canada Summer Games Travis Paterson News staff

Claremont Spartans basketball star Marissa Dheensaw, 17, has officially committed to the UVic Vikes women’s basketball program for the 2015-16 season. Vikes coach Dani Sinclair had little trouble convincing the 5-foot-10 forward, who can also play guard, as she’s already coached Dheensaw on the U15 B.C. team that finished third in the 2012 national championship. “Having (Sinclair) as a coach in previous years makes me excited to start a new journey with her and my future teammates.”

“I can’t wait to play for my own city.” -Marissa Dheensaw SAANICHNEWS

Dheensaw was Claremont’s female athlete of the year for Grades 9, 10 and 11, and was named to the Island Championship First Team All-Star, and also excels in soccer and volleyball. She missed the Grade 12 year of high school basketball – she would have likely been a top-5 player in B.C. this season – because she tore the ACL in her knee in May of 2014. It’s the same injury her elder sister Shalie, also a former Spartan, suffered in early in January, ending her fourth and final season with the Washington State Cougars (NCAA Div. 1). “It was a tough blow but (Marissa is) on a path to total recovery,” said Spartans coach Darren Reisig. The Spartans finished 11th at the B.C. AAA Girls High School Championship in

Gallery’s chief curator leads Sante Fe art tour May 19 to 25 trip offers insight into rich Native American history in New Mexico

At the heart of Santa Fe is art, which is why the Associates of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria can’t wait to explore New Mexico’s sunny capital city this spring – and you can join them.

AGGV’s chief curator Michelle Jacques will lead a six-day tour of Santa Fe, New Mexico’s art galleries and museums from May 19 to 25. The group will be immersed in the art of the

region with visits to the New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Museum of International Folk Art, the Indian Arts Festival and other

galleries. It will also take a day trip to Taos and Georgia O’Keeffe’s house, talks by local experts, visits to world-renowned restaurants, and visits to historic locations including Old Town Santa Fe and Santa Fe’s Palace of the Governors – the oldest continuously occupied public building in the United States and officially named a national treasure. Set at the southern end of the Rocky Mountains, Santa Fe exists in a high-desert landscape bordered by national forest and enjoys more than 330 days of sunshine per year. It is home to Native American communities that existed before the arrival of the Spanish. Today these communities are centres of art, craft and culture, and provide a glimpse into centuries’ old traditions. The tour is expected to sell out. The package includes airfare, airport transfer, accommodation at the Eldorado Hotel and Spa, all-American breakfasts, one lunch, one dinner, taxes, gratuities, most museum entrance fees and the day trip

to Taos and Georgia O’Keeffe’s House. The Associates of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria were founded in 1952 to foster interest in, and give voluntary service to the gallery. Over the years, the associates have raised more than $800,000 to contribute to the Gallery as well as offering unique art tours in and around Vancouver Island, across Canada, and around the world. For more information, please go online to aggv.ca/ events/art-tours or phone 250-384-4171. editor@saanichnews.com

Join the Associates at the Gallery, March 12, from 7 to 9 p.m. for a presentation by Andrew Beckerman. n Currently a Victoria resident, Beckerman lived in Santa Fe for more than a decade, and will share his knowledge of the city’s rich history, landscape, culture and more.
