BUBBLE BOY
‘A blessed relationship’ Daniel Palmer News staff
David and Karen Beales are putting the final touches on their new home office in Vic West. The wood floors have been beautifully restored, chandeliers grace the high ceilings and a 13-metre mirror runs the length of the vast open-concept space. But what makes the Beales’ home unique isn’t just that it’s a 122-year-old heritage building, or even that it houses their self-run ballet school. Perhaps the most curious aspect is that it’s also a church, which the Beales will soon share with a previously nomadic Anglican congregation. “We were looking around at houses and we stumbled across the Anglican Diocese list of churches, and we realized it would cost us the same amount Daniel Palmer to mortgage a house and lease Reporting a commercial space as it would to buy one of the church properties,” David said. In order to respect the history of the building, which was established in 1891 as an army garrison church, the Beales came to an agreement with St. Mark’s Traditional Anglican and Rev. Stanley Sinclair. Sinclair and his congregation have been without a permanent home since 2010, and had, until recently, been using the Orange Hall in Fernwood for their weekly services. “They’re traditional Anglicans and they follow all the things that used to be done here 120 years ago,” Karen said. The arrangement with the Beales will provide a much-needed home base and the opportunity for growth, Sinclair said. “We’ve been building up to the point where we’re outgrowing the Orange Hall. The result is we have a very ideal situation short of owning the property,” he said. Adriana Durian photo

Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Bart Armstong, in the office of his home in Saanich, works tirelessly to unearth the stories of the dozens of Canadians who received the U.S. Medal of Honor. after Armstrong alerted the local paper. But a handful of new monuments scattered across the country isn’t Armstrong’s aim. He won’t rest until he publishes his findings in a book, though he has no publisher, or even a manuscript. “The goal is to have widespread dissemination of information about these people who we don’t know,” says Armstrong, the only known Canadian doing this kind of historical research. “There are a hundred stories – some of them are so incredibly moving and most people in this country don’t know anything about it.”
Investigator by nature Since I met Armstrong last November, his work has advanced. He already knew that Canadians (or colonial citizens of the British Empire) fired shots on both sides of Civil War lines during the 1862 battle of the Monitor and the Merrimack, the first duel between ironclad warships fought at the mouth of James River in Virginia. But now he knows the names of 12 Canadians who fought in the battle. “I find this sad,” Armstrong says. “It’s not publicly known and it’s too bad because it’s our heritage.” Armstrong’s own heritage is rooted in military service and a drive to investigate. A high school drop-out and one of five children born to military parents in Toronto, Armstrong has been a police officer, a private investigator, a journal-
ist and now a historian, but always an advocate for the underdog. A seeker of truths. Signs of searches spill from his office and across the suite – some told, others left unfinished. Among his papers is the acknowledgment from Canadian authorities that his work is adding to the annals of Canadian history. “Dear Mr. Armstrong, I want to thank you for drawing our attention to a historical fact of which none of us at the Embassy was aware, namely that so many Canadians have been awarded the U.S. Medal of Honor,” wrote Frank McKenna, the former Canadian ambassador to the United States during his tenure in 2005. David Frandsen, the Consul General of Canada, in a letter dated July 27 of last year, thanks Armstrong for his successful research, documentation and bringing forth the results of this work. “It is, indeed, a worthwhile effort in the preservation of a very long and proud Canadian heritage that, unfortunately, has not been widely known,” Frandsen wrote. After 17 years in the Canadian Forces, Armstrong retired alone as a master warrant officer. He sometimes picks up work helping a friend ship items from the U.S. and frequently visits the Port Angeles post office, another prime venue for military education.

A Victoria medicinal marijuana club is being forced to pay $150,000 in backdated taxes on its estimated $2.5 million in annual sales. Canada Revenue Agency began investigating the Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada and owner Ted Smith in early May, after he admitted in a B.C. Supreme Court case that he had not been paying taxes or employee deductions. “Honestly, I’m just happy I’m not going to jail,” said Smith, who has operated the club for 16 years in Victoria. “In a way, this is kind of a step towards legitimacy for us.” Smith won the court case in April, which struck down a sec-

Two committees on incorporation and finance are already working to ensure the new organization operates completely within the law, Smith added. “We’ll be a lot more transparent, a lot more accountable. It’s a step we’ve been looking to do for a long time,” he said. “I can live with a $150,000 debt. But I haven’t done anything criminal here at all, I’ve just not been in compliance.” Smith hopes to use some proceeds from his recently published book, Hempology 101: The History and Uses of Cannibis Sativa, to help pay the massive tax bill. dpalmer@vicnews.com

As part of his evidence, he admitted the club had been avoiding tax payments. “The police actually took that judgement to the CRA and they started investigating me from there,” Smith said, adding he will pay the tax bill out of his own pocket and separate himself from future club business. “I’m going to be left with this mortgage-like debt, but the club’s not going to be affected,” he said. Smith is currently in the final stages of appointing a board of directors with the intention of converting the club into a nonprofit society.

Four B.C. health ministry employees were fired last Thursday and two research contractors have been suspended as police investigate misuse of patient data used for drug approval research. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said Thursday the RCMP have been asked to investigate, after an internal ministry probe looked at contracting and research grant practices between ministry staff and researchers working at the University of B.C. and University of Victoria. MacDiarmid, briefed on the case on her first day as health minister, said she found the situation "disturbing." She said the investigation centres on patient prescription data used to determine what drugs should be covered by the province's Pharmacare program. She wouldn't say specifically why people were fired, except that a conflict of interest involving family members is part of the investigation. The ministry investigation started in May, after an anonymous tip to B.C. Auditor General John Doyle's office about possible contracting
irregularities. The ministry looked at financial controls, employee-contractor relationships and data management, finding evidence of potential conflict of interest, as well as inappropriate contract management and data access with outside drug researchers. MacDiarmid said she is not aware of evidence that there was financial gain or that drug companies benefited from the information, which was found in possession of people who were not authorized to have it. The information was used for research only, and MacDiarmid said she is not aware of evidence that individual patients have been affected. Two research contracts worth $4 million have been suspended, along with data access for the two contractors. All ministry data sharing with drug researchers has been temporarily suspended. "Researchers can use this kind of information in a way that helps us to improve the health care system in ways that can actually save lives and can improve the quality of patients' lives," MacDiarmid said. "I believe that what happened here is rare, but it needs to not happen at all." editor@vicnews.com
CRD NEWS IN BRIEF
Kitchen scraps plan gets green light The Capital Regional District awarded two contracts to create a phased-in kitchen scraps removal program last week. Super Save Disposal Inc. will haul the scraps, while Vantreight Farms will be responsible for receiving and processing. The total cost is approximately $141,500 in 2013 and $498,900 in 2014, reflecting the expansion of the program. While Saanichton-based Vantreight Farms does not own or
operate an in-vessel processing facility for kitchen scraps, it has promised to be operational by Feb. 1.

NOTICE OF TAX SALE Some of the children’s shoes that were found on the beach at Clover Point.
Pursuant to Section 403 of the Local Government Act, the following property will be offered for sale at public auction, at the Esquimalt Municipal Hall, 1229 Esquimalt Road, Esquimalt, B.C., at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 24, 2012, unless the delinquent taxes, with interest, are sooner paid:
Meat found in kids shoes on local beach was poultry Police seek assistance to identify owners of multiple toddler, baby shoes Kyle Slavin News staff
Victoria police detectives say the “meat-like substance” stuck in multiple kids shoes planted at Clover Point two weeks ago is poultry. Three baby and toddler shoes were found Thursday, Aug. 30 on the beach off Dallas Road with the raw meat and bone placed inside. Det. Const. Lori Beauvais, with the department’s major crimes unit, said the initial discovery that lead investigators to the beach had police convinced what was inside the kids’ shoes was human. “We didn’t know until later (Thursday) night that we could be dealing with anything other than human remains,” she said. “The laces (on the first shoe), at the time, were pulled tight, and it really did look like human remains.” Beauvais put five shoes on display at Clover Point Thursday (Sept. 6), three of which were found with poultry inside. A fourth shoe, found empty, was the match to the first shoe, and a fifth shoe, also empty, was found near one of the other meat-filled shoes. “This is an abhorrent activity, or in this case it’s a criminal investigation,” Beauvais said. “They were purposefully set to be found, they were structured
in a way that really looked human-like, and it was disturbing, and it was sad to think that, if it was authentic, this could be the remains of a small child.” Police are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the shoes. Of particular interest to Beauvais is the matching pair: a toddlers size 8 set of purple and beige Bum Kids shoes, with a purple, white and beige-striped cuff, and purple laces. “I’m hopeful someone will recognize these ones because they are quite unique,” Beauvais said. “If anyone’s in the retail business of used shoes and recalls seeing any of these, I’d like to speak with you.” Detectives believe the shoes were placed on the beach, 100 metres east and west of Clover Point, in the afternoon of Aug. 30. The first shoe was found at 4:30 p.m. “I absolutely believe there is a connection between all of them. … I’m able to establish a timeline and we feel that these were probably dropped of within an hour of when this (first) one was located,” Beauvais said. “I think they were all placed there at the same time.” While police are following up on some leads, a call for witnesses who may have seen any activity on the beach on Aug. 30 has come up empty. Detectives are investigating the case as public mischief. Conviction of public mischief charges carries up to a five-year prison sentence. Police are asking anyone with information on the shoes or the hoax to call VicPD at 250-995-7444 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Victoria hotel bilked $42,000 A former Victoria hotel employee is facing fraud charges after nearly $42,000 worth of unusual transactions on the hotel’s dime were traced to her personal bank account. The 28-year-old Victoria woman worked as a financial controller for an unnamed downtown hotel, and allegedly diverted $41,495 from the company to her account over a 13-month period beginning May 2010. “It was uncovered during an audit at the hotel. They discovered some of these irregularities, and took further notice that it all seemed to involve her,” said Victoria Police Department spokesperson Const. Mike Russell.
In total, police say the fraud involved 40 transactions where “unusual and high-dollar refunds” were administered. Even after the fraudulent transactions were detected, Russell said the woman accessed the hotel’s accounts remotely and made additional withdrawals. Stephanie Andrews was arrested on July 24 and faces one charge of fraud over $5,000, a Victoria police spokesman said. editor@vicnews.com

‘Free baby’ posted on classified website
IN BRIEF
Mustard Seed hosts market
Kyle Slavin News staff
A classified ad offering a baby, “free to a good home,” has Victoria police officers attempting to find the would-be seller to ensure no children are at risk. The investigation began around 10:30 a.m. Monday after police were made aware of an ad posted on UsedVictoria.com, offering the baby for free with a photo of a young infant attached. “Obviously this is disconcerting,” said Const. Mike Russell. “The first part of me thinks, ‘It must be a hoax.’ Then you have a sober second thought, ‘You know what? Whether it’s a hoax or not, this needs to be investigated because we need to ensure there’s no kids at risk here.’” On Monday afternoon Russell said investigators were still trying to track down where the posting came from, but said, “It’s probably not from our jurisdiction; not on the Island.” Erin Richards, marketing co-ordinator for UsedVictoria, a Black Press-owned website, said they are co-operating with police. “First and foremost, our concern is the welfare of the child and what is in their best interest and that is why we removed the ad immediately after it was posted,” she said. “We have given information to the Victoria Police Department, who are now investigating.” While Russell said the posting is “probably” a hoax, the fact that there’s no definitive proof of that means a child could be in danger. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Transit union eyes strike vote The union representing Greater Victoria transit operators, skilled trades and maintenance workers is holding a strike vote today (Sept. 12), after negotiations with B.C. Transit broke off last week. Despite the looming strike action, CAW Local 333 president Ben Williams remains optimistic an agreement can be reached before the current workers’ contract expires March 31. “We will not be serving 72-hour strike notice before returning to talks with B.C. Transit and hope
we can reach a new contract without taking any form of job action,” Williams said in a statement, adding bargaining meetings are set for later this month and in October. B.C. Transit and the union are still at odds on wages, contracting out issues and collective agreement language, Williams said. There are 650 union members employed by B.C. Transit in the Capital Region. editor@vicnews.com

Call pull raises $26,000 for Tour de Rock Kyle Slavin News staff
It took 11 hours, and a ton of emotional support, but Kevin Nunn successfully pulled a 2,530-pound Mini Cooper around the University of Victoria 12 times on Sunday. Twenty-one kilometres later, and Nunn, quartermaster for the Saanich police, was feeling the pain. “I’m very heavy, very stiff,” he said Monday morning. “But it was worth every ounce of effort, when you think about it by the end of the week I'll be feeling great. These kids going through their cancer treatments, they go for months and years in pain.” Nunn set a $25,000 fundraising goal for Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, and broke it even before he began the car pull at 6 a.m. By Monday his total was at $26,500, and counting. In 2011, the 49-year-old ran 60 kilometres from Duncan to Victoria, raising $14,000 for Tour de Rock. While next year he hopes to be one of the Tour riders, Nunn said he’s already concocting his next crazy fundraising idea. All the money he raises will be split among the three Saanich police officers riding in this year's Tour: Niki Hodgkinson, Jett Junio and Jana Sawyer. To donate to Nunn, visit kevin4cancer.ca.

Tax on medical pot no joke for users
W
hen a club that sells medical marijuana completely spaces out on paying $150,000 in income taxes, stoner jokes aren’t far behind. But for the thousands of people who use marijuana to ease chronic pain from illness and side effects of legal medication, the possibility of losing ready access to medical pot doesn’t bring out the giggles. Leon “Ted” Smith and his Victoria-based Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada has sold marijuana products for 16 years to thousands of people who can prove they have certain permanent diseases or chronic ailment. Smith admits in the media and on his website that he’s avoided paying taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency for years and wrote: “(I) assumed I would end up in jail for it.” This kind of sloppy bookkeeping does little to improve the public image of selling or using medical marijuana. Hopefully this won’t undo the good work Smith has done helping suffering people and challenging ethically-dubious laws that snares marijuana in a grey area of legality. Indeed, among the number of court cases involving Smith and the CBCC, this year a trial involving the CBCC’s head baker had restrictive parts of federal medical marijuana law deemed unconstitutional. This is typical of laws that try to have it both ways. Health Canada allows people to purchase and/or grow marijuana for medical purposes, which is a tacit admission that marijuana can help some sick people – while the agency discourages its use. Doctors in B.C. can prescribe marijuana, but the doctors’ college discourages that due to legal liability and a lack of scientific studies. Sick people having some access to pot is better than none, but inconsistent messages from health authorities and the federal government opens the door for advocates such as Smith to operate businesses that are effectively illegal. As Smith noted, out of his tax troubles the club will become a non-profit, run by a board. This is good news for the many legitimate pot users in this city who don’t have to risk the dangers of buying from dealers on the street. What do you think?

This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies. Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Old Oil to New Gas
Council needs to cut the fat In the last Victoria municipal election, I voted for some of the newcomers in the hopes there would be some sensibility brought to council meetings and that common sense would prevail when spending the public’s hard-earned tax dollars. I was wrong. City council has lost its way. Councillors have no concept of how to generate income or how to spend money frugally. They might want to talk to some of the elderly who survived the Great Depression. It was a simple plan that any person of intelligence could understand: either you had money saved to purchase an item
or you did without. During this time of economic collapse, council needs to cut the salaries of senior staff, stop paying wage increases, stop spending money on Beacon Hill Park traffic control, backbench the notion of bicycle infrastructure and begin taxing private schools and churches. City council needs to stop all frivolous spending and concentrate only on the core responsibilities it is mandated to do. Dave Mason Victoria
Readers respond: Beacon Hill Park, liquor privatization Park ambiance improved with local road changes Re: Traffic changes to park not appreciated by former staffer (Letters, Sept. 5) I do not agree with Finn Andersen’s letter. The dictionary definition of a park is in part “an area of land, usually in a largely natural state, for the enjoyment of the public, having facilities for rest and recreation, often owned, set apart, and managed by a city, state, or nation.” Previous to these changes, the roads in Beacon Hill Park were nothing but an uncontrolled speedway to get from Douglas to Cook Streets or up to Dallas Road, hardly what I would call sensible park usage. The difference in driving around is negligible. I use this park every day and the recent changes have made a dramatic effect on the ambiance of the park. Road noise is considerably reduced and the roads much safer for park users. In fact, I have noticed more joggers and park usage since these changes were brought in. As far as parking is concerned, I have never seen the parking lots full and if you have to walk a block, do so and enjoy the new found enjoyment. The new park supervisor and council are to be congratulated. Ken Cosgrove Victoria
Immigration not helping the economy Canada’s immigration needs are different from what they were 120 years ago. We do not need a lot of immigrants to
farm the prairies and build roads today. Dumping 250,000 foreigners into the labour market a year is not helping the economy and is straining our housing market. The solution is obvious: reduce immigration. I recommend about 15,000 immigrants a year, primarily nurses and doctors. Sean Murray, Victoria

B.A. Macpherson Esquimalt
Rationale still unclear for liquor privatization Re: B.C. liquor laws finally effective (B.C. Views, Aug. 15) One thing that Tom Fletcher and other media have failed to do is fully inform the public about the financial case for privatizing the warehousing and distribution branch of the Liquor Control Branch. The B.C. Liberals have certainly not been called to proper account on this issue.
CONVERT TO NATURAL GAS WITH
Forget about the union angle; this monopoly provides B.C.’s coffers with a hefty income. Why do the Liberals, our “free enterprise” party, want to sell off this asset? Even B.C.’s craft beer industry folks have questioned this proposal and they are the small business people who help create employment. Who will benefit from such a sale? Friends and insiders? I look forward to an in-depth article on this issue, soon, in one of Mr. Fletcher’s columns. Pat McGuire Victoria

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
How well does your child see? Parents are often surprised when I tell them that children should have their eyes examined around their third birthday. At this age however, many problems can be detected and timely treatment started. If an infant or toddler has an obvious problem, the parents should not hesitate to have the child’s eyes examined even earlier. Children with vision problems may not complain. Blurred or double vision can seem normal if one has never known anything else. Sometimes a child may only be using one eye with the other not functioning properly; even though it appears to be normal. An eye may be “lazy” (amblyopic) even if it doesn’t seem to turn in or out. Treatment for amblyopia is far more effective if undertaken well before the child’s seventh birthday. Parents can watch out for signs of vision problems even in very young children: Rubbing the eyes, holding objects too close, tilting the head or an unusual lack of coordination are some of the warning symptoms. Children do not need to know the alphabet to be examined. Optometrists can use pictures, symbols and toys to help examine toddlers. The emphasis is usually on “fast and fun” in these cases. After the initial visit, annual checks are recommended as children’s eyes change as they grow. Here in British Columbia, a program for preschool children called “Vision First Check” has just started. Ask your optometrist for further details and set up appointments for any children who have not had a recent examination.

Party time idea still going strong in Langford A year removed from 15 years operating a successful dollar store in Langford, Paul and David Scotthorne of Party Crashers are continuing to grow their business in the West Shore community. The store, which focuses mainly on party materials for specific holidays and other celebrations through the year, has benefited from a loyal local following the Scotthornes built up over the years, both from the West Shore and around the Capital Region. Don Descoteau David Scotthorne, an avid Biz Beat local business supporter, says moving from an indoor mall setting – their Buck or Two store was in Westshore Town Centre – to the Hoffman Avenue plaza anchored by Boston Pizza, has not hurt the business. “We’re as West Shore as you can get,” he says. “Paul and I both live nearby, and our

Keeping Terry’s dream alive Brittany Lee
Weekend events
News staff
Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope more than 30 years ago with the goal to raise $1 from every Canadian for cancer research. Today, Fox’s dream has become a large part of what being Canadian is about, according to organizers of this year’s Terry Fox Weekend. “What Terry did in 1980 has become a part of the fabric of what makes us Canadian … it brought the country together so much that even today the impact is felt a lot,” says Darren Wark, one of Fox’s cousins. “By us doing these events it’s a matter of trying to continue that (dream).” Besides Wark’s direct relation to Fox, he became involved with the Terry Fox Weekend five years ago because of his children. “I realized I want my kids to be proud of me,” he says. “That’s the main driver for me, is my kids and my family.” This year Wark is pioneering An Evening Under the Stars with Terry Fox, a movie night on Saturday (Sept. 15) at Mile Zero. A free screening of the film Terry, starring Shawn Ashmore as Fox, will play at dusk for the public to learn more about Fox and what he did before losing his battle to cancer in 1981. “We’re just trying to provide
The Terry Fox Weekend kicks off with the Saturday, Sept. 15 movie night, starting at dusk, followed by the sixth annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do and 32nd annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 16. Registration for the run and hair do starts at 9 a.m. Opening ceremonies at 10 a.m. Hair do’s from 10:15 a.m. to noon Victoria’s Terry Fox Run starts at 10:30 a.m. at Mile Zero There will also be runs in Central Saanich, at Centennial Park, and on the West Shore, at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, on Sept. 16. Registration starts at 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., respectively.

back to Mile Zero. Last year’s Victoria run saw more than 1,000 participants, who helped collect roughly $27,000 of the total $40,000 raised. The Terry Fox Weekend in Victoria has helped raise more than $300,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation in the past 11 years. Of each dollar donated, 84 cents goes to cancer research.

The weekend also includes the sixth annual Terry Fox Great Canadian Hair Do. “You don’t have to be a runner to participate in any of these things,” Lamb adds. This year’s five-kilometre run starts at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday (Sept. 16). The route begins at Mile Zero, goes along Dallas Road to St. Charles Street, and

Individuals and families needing assistance with legal matters will soon have a one-stop-shop to access the justice system in Victoria. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced a $1.5 million investment to create a Justice Access Centre within the Victoria Law Courts, where people attempting to navigate the justice system have access to a multitude of support, knowledge and information. “When you’re trying to sort out how to deal with matters like child custody issues, or divorce, property issue, or debt, it can be an emotional and pretty stressful period of time,� Bond said. She said one of the goals of the new centre is “finding ways to resolve problems that don’t necessarily require litigation. That’s a lot better for families.� Among the agencies offering services at the province’s two existing centres are Access Pro Bono, Credit Counselling Society, Legal Services Society and Mediate B.C. Unique to the Victoria centre, set to open in fall 2013, is a partnership with the University of Victoria, as its law centre will be co-located on the site, at 850 Burdett Ave. “The creation of Victoria’s new Justice Access Centre, and its co-location here with our law centre will improve access to justice,� said Donna Greschner, dean of UVic’s faculty of law. “Access to justice is one of the critical issues of the day, and this new centre will go a long way towards improving access to justice for

Manifestation of a dream Rifflandia V brings big names, personal triumphs and Grimace tattoos Natalie North News staff
A slender man donning hornrimmed glasses, a Selleck-ian moustache and a sport coat approaches a tattoo bench at Wolf/Sheep Arthouse on Government Street and unzips. “For 10 entire years, I’ve said I’d get Grimace, the McDonaldland character, tattooed on my buttock if anyone else would pay and today, on this monumental evening, it’s happening,” says Chris Vickers, the man boasting his lillywhite gams. “How do we start? I’ve never had a tattoo before.” “Well we’re going to lie you down, put a stencil on your butt and just drill ‘er in there,” says the tattoo artist who will soon be tasked with shaving this man’s posterior in advance of the big moment. “Just drill ‘er in,” Vickers says and his decade-long creative vision is made reality.

Historian searches for forgotten Canadian heroes
Volunteer for the Annual Mill Hill Broom Sweep. ep.

On a recent trip to Port Angeles, Armstrong stopped a man clad in U.S. Coast Guard garb. He asked this man if he knows the story of Douglas Munro, the only member of the U.S. Coast Guard to be awarded the Medal of Honor after lodging his own boat between U.S. Marines and enemy lines during the Second World War. The coast guard member’s response is emphatic: “That’s the guy that saved 500 lives at Guadalcanal!� While Munro’s grave in Cle Elum, Wash., may list his birthplace as Vancouver, Wash., it was actually Vancouver, B.C. – Munro was a Canuck.

Armstrong throws his head back and bugs out his eyes in imitation of how he saw the coast guard member react to the knowledge. Shocked, but not disappointed, he says. If he had the chance, Armstrong would have more of these storytelling sessions south of the border, but he has already sunk more than $10,000 into his work – in photocopied files and cross-country flights – and his resources are slim. Merv Scott, president of the Victoria Genealogical Society, watched Armstrong miss an opportunity in March to travel to Washington D.C. during the 150th anniversary of the first awarding of the Medal of Honor. The man with what Scott describes as “an unabashed passion� couldn’t afford the trip. “He’s connected families to their ancestors who were war heroes and they didn’t even know,� Scott says. “He just lives and breathes this stuff.� “If there’s a fault with Bart, it might be marketing himself,� says Michael Bourque, a friend of Armstrong’s who has seen his body of research expand over the years. “He doesn’t want any of these heroes to be forgotten.� When he unearths a tale such as that of Joseph Noil – a Nova Scotia native who earned the Medal of Honor on Boxing Day 1872 after jumping from the USS Powhattan in Portsfeld, Va., to save a drowning crew mate – he can’t help sharing. No one knows if Noil, the only black Canadian recipient of the honour, actually received the medal before he died in 1881, but Armstrong has made it his mission to get the word out now. Armstrong closes his binder of clippings and replaces it on the shelf crammed with books. “The name of my book is going to be Forgotten Heroes and I don’t know if the word ‘forgotten’ is appropriate,� Armstrong says, “because I don’t know if they were ever known.� nnorth@saanichnews.com

CNIB celebrates volunteer’s 57 years helping region’s blind Saanich woman started with institute in 1955 Lily Walls, left, inspired by her son Don’s vision impairment, has volunteered for more than five decades with the CNIB, the national institute for the blind. The Saanich woman was recognized for her work at a Sept. 5 tea in Victoria.
Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
When Lily Walls started volunteering, the CNIB was still called the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. In the 50-plus years since then much has changed, from shortening the title to CNIB in 2006 to the disappearance of residences for the blind run by the non-profit. The Saanich woman started her volunteering career in 1955 when she registered her visually impaired son Don with the CNIB in Ottawa. Her volunteering spanned the country, as well as decades, as the family moved back and forth across Canada over the years. Don recalls the impact his mom had on people throughout her volunteer work. Once she taught the hand alphabet to doctors and nurses, making the medical process less terrifying for their deaf and blind patients. Don remembers a woman miserable with her failing sight feeling success and pride in the dishcloths Lily

They’re back, they’re bigger Rams football ranked No. 4 in Canada Travis Paterson News staff
The Mount Douglas Rams are hoping to come back big bigger and stronger after winning the provincial AAA football championship. If anyone can do it, it’s these guys. “We want to win it again but everybody knows about us now, we’re not under the radar,” said running back Mason Swift. The key to the Rams success is no secret. Last year Swift and Terrell Davis formed a deadly attack out of the backfield. Once Swift recovered from injury for the final stretch of the season, the opposition couldn’t stop the Rams running game. This year should be similar. Substitute Terrell, who has moved on to the NCAA’s Arizona Sun Devils, for younger brother Marcus Davis (Grade 11). Swift is returning for his Grade 12 season while being scouted by NCAA Div. 1 teams, and quarterback Ashton MacKinnon (Grade 11) is also ready to break out. And they’re all tucked away, ready to explode from behind an offensive line comparable in size to Mount Doug itself. “It’s such a huge line,” Swift said. “It’s going to be a different style of play from last year, and not having
Terrell will put a bit more of the load on my shoulders, but it shouldn’t be too different.” Man-mountain Christian Krause (Grade 11), at 6-foot-4, 320 lbs., leads an offensive line with six players over 235 lbs each, plus another three to draw on, of which Sasha Shurvin is the smallest at 6-foot-3, 190 lbs. Not to mention MacKinnon, who at 6-foot-6, 200 lbs, will have no problem seeing over them. As the starting junior quarterback last season, the Grade 11 also dressed for most of the senior games, including Travis Paterson/News staff the Subway Bowl AAA final, in which the Rams overcame a Quarterback Ashton MacKinnon and running back Mason Swift are ready to lead the Mount 22-point deficit to defeat the Doug Rams to another AAA football championship.

Wolves howl to first win VIJHL hockey Travis Paterson News staff
A single goal is all the Westshore Wolves needed to win its first game in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League last week. The Wolves shutout the Kerry Park Islanders 1-0 on a goal by Clay Carson, the first ever for the franchise. “It was nice to start it off like that,” said captain Josh Bloomenthal, formerly of the Peninsula Panthers. “We’re confident, we like the core we have, and we’ve still got a few more pieces coming.
