Covert spyware could be step over line: OIPCTravis PatersonNews 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 pri-vacy commissioner.

Last week, Saanich’s director of corporate ser-vices, Laura Ciarniello, released a statement on behalf of staff who handle software at the District of Saanich’s municipal hall and confirmed techni-cians had installed a program called Spector 360 on several computers, including one used by the Mayor. Ciarniello was responding to Atwell’s sug-gestion 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. Infor-mation and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Den-ham suggested it is highly unlikely that a munici-pality 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,” Den-ham 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.

Cut-a-Thon for kids needs supportTravis PatersonNews 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 initia-tive provides custom-fitted wigs to sick children, and makes life a little bit easier during a time of cancer treat-ment 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 pri-vate group requested use of

the store space and employ-ees to support the same cause.

As a two-time cancer survi-vor, Lizzy Lee and Me owner Lisette Scabar was ready and willing.

CRD drinking water upgrades pending

The Capital Regional District’s drinking water treatment system is in need of a $9-million upgrade.

The CRD put out a request for proposals this week to replace the aging Regional Water Supply Sys-tem serving Greater Victoria. Disin-

fection is currently achieved through a combination of ultraviolet disin-fection and chloramination.

The existing chlorine and ammo-nia gas systems have reached the end of their service life and are not considered to have adequate safety provisions in place to remain a viable long-term solution, according to a CRD release. To address these concerns, the CRD has assessed options and elected to proceed with a conversion from a gaseous sys-tem to a bulk-liquid system.

The total project budget has been

set at $9 million, which has been approved by the Regional Water Supply Commission. The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2016.

Grocer raises $14,000for Help Fill a Dream

Saanich’s Royal Oak Country Grocer store helped the Island-grown company raise more than $14,000 to support the Help Fill A Dream Foundation and Island children with life-threatening condi-

tions.The store’s annual holiday cam-

paign included the sale of “Dream Bouquets” in the floral depart-ment, paper T-shirts at the till and Island-grown Christmas trees, plus this year’s addition of delicious Dream Cakes in the bakery and Christmas tree chipping. All funds raised will help Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands’ children fulfill

their Dreams in the coming year. Help Fill a Dream fulfills dreams

of children facing life-threatening conditions, improves their quality of life and assists families with care and financial support. Since 1986, Help Fill A Dream has fulfilled more than 2,100 Dreams.

“We believe that dreams change lives and that happiness heals,” said Help Fill a Dream Executive Director Craig Smith. “Help Fill A Dream is a resource for families. Unfortunately we can’t make a child well, but we can offer families an escape from the stress and anxiety they are experiencing. Every dollar raised makes a difference and can change the life of a child and their family for the better. Not all Dreams are big – some are small, and some are simple, like a family being by their child’s side when he or she is in the hospital.”

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!For general information about the kitchen scrap diversion strategy visit www.crd.bc.ca/kitchenscraps

Hundreds out of work in Target closuresLocal MP, MLAs offer assistance navigating available government resources after layoffsTravis PatersonNews staff

When former Tillicum Centre tenant Kevin Deleeuw heard that Target was moving into the former Zellers storefront in 2013, he will-ingly 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 oper-ates 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 loca-tion 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, repre-senting 1.9 per cent of RioCan’s annual rent revenue. RioCan deferred comments regard-ing Target’s closure to a press release, but on its website said the remainder of Target’s Til-licum Centre lease and all other Target leases are guaranteed by Target’s U.S. parent com-pany.

“I don’ t know what’s going to happen,” said Camosun College student Adam Coloumbe, who is employed by Target through subcon-tractor 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 unem-ployed in Nanaimo as well.

“We’re asking Target management for

access to the staff so we can help them,” Fleming said. “We want ensure they’re aware of their rights and access to employ-ment insurance and career opportunities.”

New tenants for Tillicumnot yet known

Though the vacancy rate is low at Til-licum Centre, it’s not yet known what the mall’s operators will do with the two-sto-rey Target space, which was originally filled by Eaton’s. One of the two satellite restaurants at Tillicum, Kelsey’s Restau-rant, is vacant after that chain also folded nationally.

The promise and potential of Tillicum Centre should be a catalyst to make Burn-side/Tillicum a vibrant, modern neigh-bourhood in Saanich, said Rob Wickson, president of the Gorge Tillicum Commu-nity 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 hous-ing 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 bed-room 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 Tar-get’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 prob-ably the most ideal use of the Target space if it’s going to be broken up.”

Big box technology store Best Buy suf-fered a similar fate when it pulled out of its 38,000 square-foot lease at Uptown in January 2013. Renovations are now under-way to convert Uptown’s former Best Buy space for new retailers.

Alzheimer Society offers help for dementia services

An increasing number of Victoria families face a journey with demen-tia, 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 chal-lenges, 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 sup-port and education co-ordinator for Greater Victoria.

In February, the society offers a free workshop called Accessing Ser-vices, designed for people who are supporting a person with dementia.

The workshop will review strate-gies for accessing support through a variety of sources in the commu-nity, from getting help from family

and friends to navigating the formal health-care system.

“People cannot travel alone on a journey with dementia,” says Rand-erson. “Tapping into a support net-work is vital.”

The session will also explore chal-lenges that can arise when mak-ing the decision to access services and support, and offers strategies for working with service providers while acting as an advocate.

The workshop runs Feb. 14 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Hillside Seniors Health Centre, 1454 Hillside Ave. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to regis-ter, call 250-370-5641 and press ‘2’ or email [email protected]. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, please contact Mer-iel Randerson at 250-382-2052 or [email protected] and go online to alzheimerbc.org.

Neither the B.C. government nor City of Victoria use similar spyware to monitor their employees’ internet and computer usage, though secu-rity measures like firewalls are in place to avoid data breaches.

“The threshold for covert monitor-ing 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 cap-tured by Spector 360 is by follow-ing 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 Direc-tor of Corporate Services. That pro-cess 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 dis-missed the suggestion of spyware in

a unified statement. They said moni-toring software was installed on sev-eral municipal computers following a third-party audit of the District of Saa-nich computer system in May 2014. The third-party data review recom-mended 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 depart-ment to obtain a copy of the third-party review went unanswered.

After Saanich police Chief Bob Downie investigated the security installation and concluded no crim-inal act had taken place, Atwell asked the Office of the Police Com-plaint 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.

“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 pur-chase the wigs at cost from Vancou-ver-based manufacturing company Eva and Co. With daily use, a natural-hair wig can last eight to 18 months,

and be cut, coloured and styled to preference.

“I’m encouraging men (and women) willing to shave their heads to come as we’ll auction off the first swipe with the (electric) clip-per, which is always the best swipe,” Woodbridge said.

The Feb. 27 Wigs for Kids Cut-A-Thon will run from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The store has created pledge sheets ahead of the event for people to pick up ahead of time. Phone 250-590-5568 or email [email protected] for more information.

Did you do a “cleanse” to start the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your body?

Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being flogged.

“Supplements, tea, homeopathy, coffee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxified body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Gavura, who treats cancer patients with medicine’s most potent drugs.

Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent conditions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “detox” find his takedown of this notion.

He traces the roots of purification rituals in religious and medical history, such as when patients were bled with leeches. Actual “detox” is administered in hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons.

Credible physicians abandoned theories of “autointoxication” in the

19th century.“And don’t forget gluten,” Gavura

writes. “Gluten is the new evil and therefore, is now a toxin.”

Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey “organic”

produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides.

Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lugging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fill with water. Metro Vancouver is a rainforest, with some of the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid. Discreet inquiries yielded similar answers.

Aside from the odd superstition about chlorine or fluoride, they had no idea at all. They didn’t know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozonation, or what they were buying, which was essentially municipal water run through a filter. They had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways.

Vaccinations? Don’t get me started. In the past year I have had an argument with a registered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed

that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body.

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.Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter

and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Hippy science is easy, and wrong

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.

Crown makes call on chargesRe: 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 LewisAirdrie, Alberta

(Former Saanich resident)

Fletcher gets it right on water issueRe: 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.

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 TaylorSaanich

“We pay top dollar for the produce from (Calfornia) and yet

give them the water for pretty much free.”

Christmas hangover

Workers pull apart a massive alumin-ium 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 cus-tomers 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 In-ternational Airport reached 74 km/h.

The coast of British Columbia has been a maritime highway for millennia.

First Nations have

always used B.C. waterways as the most efficient way of traversing the challenging landscape

of mountains and fjords that give our province its distinctive beauty.

The Tlingit people of

the Alaska panhandle were particularly famous for their far-ranging dugout canoes, which would regularly make the 1,400-kilometre journey to Puget Sound for the sake of trade.

With the coming of European settlers in the 19th century, this coastal highway remained the primary mode of travel, but the boats found in its waters gradually changed.

Steamships, often paddle-wheeled but with two masts to provide the option of sail instead of steam, busily chugged along the straits of Vancouver Island carrying men, equipment and goods. The most famous, and certainly most iconic of these early vessels, was the SS Beaver.

When I was growing up in Victoria the modern, replica Beaver, which sank in Cowichan Bay last year after sitting derelict for some time, could often been seen in the Inner Harbour – an intriguing floating anachronism.

We have a wonderful model of the Beaver in the Maritime Museum of B.C. collection, along with a few objects made from her salvaged material, and visitors often ask me how the original came to be at an outpost as remote as Victoria was in the 1840s.

In 1835, the SS Beaver was built for the Hudson’s Bay Company by Blackwall Yard, a well-known shipbuilder on the London banks of the Thames. Blackwall Yard had only built their first steamship in 1821, but when it closed its doors in 1987 it had been

repairing and building ships for more than 350 years.

The Beaver was a brigantine, equipped with two masts for sail as well as steam-propelled paddle wheels. She was even designed to use saltwater in her boilers, though this

worked a lot better in theory than in practice, as the salinity corroded the boiler walls. She required a new boiler about every seven years over the course of her lifetime.

She was sailed, not steamed, on a six-month voyage across the Atlantic and around the Horn before she finally arrived at Fort Vancouver in 1836. There her engines and boilers were finally connected, and her paddles were shipped.

Now Vancouver, Washington, at the mouth of the Columbia River, Fort Vancouver was the main Hudson’s Bay trading post in the Pacific Northwest.

The Beaver was based there, along with James Douglas and his men, until it became clear that the area would fall

into American hands when the Oregon Treaty was finalized (as it was in 1846) and the 49th parallel was established as the border. So, in 1843, Fort Victoria was established instead as the main Hudson’s Bay post on the west coast, and the Beaver did her duty as a fur trading vessel as far north as Alaska, and as far south as California, but always returned to Victoria as her home port.

During this period she was captained by William McNeill, who owned a large piece of land in what is now Oak Bay. McNeill Avenue is named after him and his home stood near Victoria Avenue and Beach Drive. He was known to sound the steam horn as he passed by Gonzales and McNeill Bays. Thus prompted, his son would rig up the horse and buggy to go meet him in Victoria’s harbour and provide a lift home.

The Beaver was a familiar presence in coastal communities far and wide, but when the Fraser River Gold Rush arrived in 1858, she was repurposed as a passenger vessel, ferrying miners to the mainland, then known as New Caledonia.

She spent the 1860s and early 1870s as a surveying ship and

was finally sold in 1874 to the B.C. Towing and Transportation Co., and worked as a towboat until she came to a rather inglorious end in 1888.

Rumor has it that her crew was drunk the day they ran the Beaver aground at Prospect Point, in what is now Stanley Park. This historic vessel sat rotting on the rocks for four years, a novelty for visitors to Stanley Park, and a sitting duck for salvagers who came and stripped her of her vital pieces as souvenirs.

In 1892, she finally sank beneath the waves. Further salvaging of the wreck was done in the 1960s, including raising a boiler and parts of her paddle wheels. Some of these are on display in the Vancouver Maritime Museum today, and other were made into novelty objects, like the cigarette boxes and canes that we have at MMBC. The wreck has dramatically disintegrated since then, but her rotting skeleton still lies in Burrard Inlet, the submerged ghost of the most iconic ship in B.C. history.

Ask the Expert

I understand that falling is the most common cause of injury in seniors. How can I prevent a fall?

Seniors’ Edition

Linda at Berwick House, (250) 721-4062 or email her at [email protected]

A:

Q:

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 e� ects 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 � at 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 a� er 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.


It was a busy few days for three Saanich Braves last weekend, as Seamus Maguire, Jack Rachwalski and Ben Meek represented the Braves for the South Division at the 2015 VIJHL All-Star Game in Comox on Sunday (Jan. 18).

It was their third game of the weekend as

the Braves played back-to-back games that Fri-day Jan. 16 – a 6-3 loss to the Peninsula Pan-thers – and Saturday , a 5-3 win over the Comox Valley Glacier Kings.

The fatigue factor didn’t influence Magu-ire, 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 Divi-sion MVP for the game.

Meek recorded an

assist while Rachwal-ski, normally a forward, played a solid game on defence for the South and served as an alter-nate captain.

Meek and Rachwal-

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 Rach-walski netted another.

Nick Keane scored his first with the Braves on Saturday since join-ing the club at the trad-ing 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 Pen-insula 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 Island-ers and six ahead of the Panthers.

The Braves are at The Q Centre tonight (Jan. 21) versus the Wests-hore 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.

Painter Ted Harrison leaves lasting markChristine van ReeuwykBlack Press

With a healthy respect for those who pur-chased 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 Victo-ria on Friday at the age of 88.

Born in County Durham, England, Har-rison dreamed about the arctic as a child, reading the works of Robert Service and Jack London. In 1968, after years of travel-ling 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 leav-ing 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 Paint-er’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 peo-ple … Ted always held everyone’s atten-tion. 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

Canada. In 2004, he was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and presented with the Order of British Colum-bia in 2008. After Nicky died in 2000, Harri-son was a champion for Alzheimer’s aware-ness. 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 paint-ing 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.”

Harrison was born in 1926 to a coal miner and his wife in Wingate, northeast England.

“He was a man of solid integrity and had a character that reflected his upbringing,” Gibson said. “These were miners who never knew if they would be coming home … so these men were usually very religious, hard working. They were honourable people and that’s who Ted was. His handshake meant something. … He just saw himself as a min-er’s son. He never understood how impor-tant he was to Canada and to the Canadian art conversation. … He was just doing what he loved.”

With years spent working as a teacher, youth were always a part of his repertoire.

Amos worked alongside Harrison in the artists in schools program cre-ated 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 course Ted was always a great star, but also he didn’t need to do this,” said Amos, noting Harrison was in his late 70s by this time. “He had a real commitment to kids. He travelled the world and made himself available to all sorts of groups and associations.”

Harrison also authored chil-dren’s books including A North-ern Alphabet and illustrated Rob-ert Service’s The Cremation of Sam McGee and The Shooting of Dan McGrew.

“He used to say to kids ‘Use your imagination, there’s life in your imagi-nation. Don’t worry about what other people are saying’,” Gibson recalled. “He was quick with a story, he would stop in the middle of a street and sing a little ditty if he felt like it. Going for a walk with Ted was quite an experi-ence, walking a block could take 20 minutes … He noticed everything.”

Despite his professed dislike for appearing in public, it was common practice. He was a regular at Moss Street Paint In, where his unique pro-

cess of working made him an ideal artist to interact with. While onsite he was simply following a plan already conceived, Amos explained.

“He developed his paintings in his mind at night and he completely understood the design, the drawing, the colours. It was completely formed in his mind and when he got up in the morning he was ready.”

Why the questions Doc?Occasionally a patient is uncomfortable when

I ask personal questions. A column like this gives me a chance to explain the reason for unusual questions that an optometrist may ask you.

Every optometrist wants to know the reason for your visit. This is known as the “chief complaint.” However, to accurately determine if you are at risk of any eye diseases, a full “case history” has to be taken.

General health questions about you and your blood relations are important. Many illnesses can affect vision. You’d be wise to bring a list of any medications you take. Many medications have potential visual side effects.

Optometrists always ask about your occupation and hobbies to determine how you use your eyes. Then we can make suggestions as to which type of glasses and/or lenses would provide you with the best visual performance at work and play.
