Honour obsession and

Bart Armstrong is the lone historian hunting down stories of long forgotten Canadians who received the U.S. Medal of Honor

Natalie North News staff

art Armstrong sits alone at a table for four in the cafeteria of the Black Ball ferry. In front of him: a bag of chips, a pop and a book on the Civil War. It’s a history trap. As passengers look for seats, he invites them to join. They talk about the weather and other mundane chit chat. He asks if they have a link to someone in the military. Most do. “Tell me all about the Medal of Honor,” he says and sits back as his new table mates fumble through a definition of the honour. “For the next hour-and-a-half, they’ll get a lecture from me,” he says with a smile bursting beneath his grey moustache. Armstrong doesn’t have a U.S. Medal of Honor, but he has discovered many. The 63-year-old tirelessly researches forgotten recipients of the award – Canadians, or would-be Canadians, laid to rest often without recognition from their own country of the battles they fought in the U.S. Civil War. When Armstrong began his research 12 years ago, there were 54 known Canadian recipients of the Medal of Honor. His work has unearthed another 50. In his Shelbourne Street apartment, he wades through ancestry websites and newspaper articles from the 1860s, contacts museums and archives at cities and towns across the U.S. He speaks with people such as Diane Clarke at the Victoria Genealogical Society, who through her time spent chasing down vital records for Armstrong, has come to know him as “a bit off the wall, funny, and very passionate.” Around Armstrong’s tiny home office – warmly referred to as the Canadian satellite office by members of the American Medal of Honor Historical Society, of which he is the sole Canadian member – sits evidence of his obsession. File folders upon file folders, scrawled notes on sticky paper and a tiny hot plate, just big enough for a single mug of coffee, flank his computer station. Armstrong plunks down in front of his oversized monitor to tell me the story of those whose award has gone unrecognized or remembered by anyone, including the Canadian government.

Forgotten heroes May, 1863: the 99th Illinois infantry battles at Vicksburg – a bloodbath that leaves the entire

“(Armstrong has) connected families to their ancestors who were war heroes and they didn’t even know.” –Merv Scott Victoria Genealogical Society les, Armstrong stopped a man clad in U.S. Coast Guard garb. He asked this man if he knew 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 was 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.

Getting the word out

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Bart Armstong, in his office in his home in Saanich, works tirelessly to unearth the stories of the dozens of Canadians and British Empire citizens who received the U.S. Medal of Honor. 100 attending members of the regiment maimed or dead. Amidst a constant barrage of lead, a lone remaining troop on the Union side crests the hill advancing toward Confederate lines. “He’s too brave to kill,” the Confederates yell as the man rests his regimental colours on the parapet. The Confederates take their hats off and applaud for Quebecker, Thomas Higgins. Later they’ll jail Higgins as a prisoner of war. And for 30 years after that, they’ll remember the bravery that transcended party lines and recommend him for a Medal of Honor. Dennis Buckley, a farming kid from Lindsay, Ont., was barely 20 years old and providing for his entire family when the allure of a $300 paycheque drew him into the Civil War effort. As he captured the enemy flag, he turned to his Union comrades in the 136th New York Infantry and offered a jovial wave of motivation. Just then, a bullet ricocheted off the flagpole in his hand, struck him in the forehead and killed him instantly. Of the 10,312 Civil War soldiers buried at Marietta, Ga., only two received the Medal of Honor. Buckley, who was buried under the wrong name for 140 years, was one of them. A monument to the young soldier was erected in Lindsay in 2007 following a story about Buckley, after Armstrong alerted the local paper. But a handful of new monuments scattered across the coun-

try 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 the James River in Virginia. But now he knows the names of 12 Canadians who fought in the battle. “In that regiment there were no less than 39 Canadians,” Armstrong says. “I find this sad. 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 journalist 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 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. On a recent trip to Port Ange-

If he had the chance, Armstrong would have more of these story-telling 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 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

After four years in Brentwood Bay, the cancer research fundraiser will launch from Willows Beach this year. “Brentwood Bay is a beautiful spot but Willows Beach is pretty nice too,” said organizer Don Lowther. The change in venue is aligned with a change in benefactor this year. For the past two years the Kayak for a Cure event in Vancouver has funded InspireHealth. “Vancouver started supporting them a couple years ago. One of the organizers in Vancouver got brain cancer and as part of his treatment went to InspireHealth. Since they opened up in Victoria I decided to support them here in town,” Lowther explained.

has a clinic on Oak Bay Avenue. “I think we’re going to get more first time paddlers because it’s closer to town and it’s an area familiar to most people,” he said. The paddle is set for Sept. 9 with registration starting by 8:30 a.m. at Willows Beach. “The event day is just a relaxed paddle from Willows Beach to Gyro Park beach and back again,” Lowther said. A barbecue will wrap the event slated to end at 2 p.m. Participants can register online and canvass for donations. “We’re already up over $7,500,” Lowther said. The goal is $15,000, a little higher than previous goals. Last year the event raised $11,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society with 20 to 25 paddlers. “This year we’re aiming for between 30 and 40 but we’ll take 50 or 100,” Lowther said.

OAK BAY NEWS -Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Labour dispute on back burner as schools open ‘Mixed emotions’ as teachers take on full duties after a year of work-to-rule The relationship between B.C. teachers remains on the mend, but a new teachers’ contract has put discord on temporary hiatus as schools in Greater Victoria opened up this week – although not everyone was celebrating. “It’s mixed emotions for sure,” said Sean Hayes, Natalie North president of the Saanich Reporting School District Teachers’ Association. “It’s relief that we’re entering the school year in a much more settled state with the prospects of a quiet and relatively peaceful year. “That’s a relief, but we’re also not happy

because the major issues for teachers remain unchanged: oversized classes, poor support for special needs students and dwindling resources.” After a year of stalled contract negotiations and six months of work-to-rule job action culminating in a walkout last March, B.C.’s 41,000 public school teachers came to a collective agreement on June 26. The short-term contract, which is valid just until just June 2013, offered some degree of relief for Hayes. But others, such as Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association president Tara Ehrcke, stood vehemently against the plan. Though unlikely, Ehrcke said, the possibility exists of job disruptions through the fall. “There will be a lot of teachers returning to school this fall with a real sense of disappointment and that we’re also going to see some larger classes than we’ve seen in a number of years,” Ehrcke said. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see individual teachers taking a step back from some extracurricular activities, simply because they have larger

Student numbers Projected full-time students enrolment for 2012-13 ■ K-12 public schools: estimated 534,691, compared to 540,696 for the September 2011, 6,005 fewer students ■ Greater Victoria School District: 18,825, compared to 18,995 in 2011. ■ Saanich School District: an estimated 7,137, compared to 7,398 in 2011. ■ Camosun College: estimated 9,300 students for 2012-13; up two per cent from 9,100 students last year. ■ University of Victoria: Expected to surpass 20,000 this year; last year 20,199 students enrolled.

French Immersion teacher Julie Fisher goes through books as she cleans shelves to get ready for the new school year at Reynolds secondary school. classes and more responsibilities.” Although people are happy to be heading back to work fully and completely, Hayes said, people are upset about how the last round of bargaining went. “There may be a little holdover,” he added. During an Aug. 28 teleconference, Education Minister George Abbott said he was hoping for a much more positive, harmonious year in terms of labour relations. “We do have the second year of the twoyear agreement still to go,” Abbott said. “That will likely see, perhaps in March or April, a recommencement of bargaining discussions, but I’m hoping that this year gives us an opportunity to try to build at least a little better relationship between

government and the teachers’ federation and between government educational partners, including the teachers’ federation.” Abbott will not be involved in much of those discussions, however, since after 16 years as an MLA, he announced Thursday that he would not seek re-election in the spring. “We’ve been in the same drama for 40 years,” said Thomas Fleming, University of Victoria professor emeritus in education. “Teachers complaining about government; government saying teachers are withholding services. The dialogue doesn’t change; the actors don’t change. Essentially this dialogue is no dialogue. It’s not going any place. It’s a system built for another age.” Despite the history of unrest at the provincial level, teachers and administrators are expecting a relatively calm school year across the region. After 11 years as superintendent of the Greater Victoria School District, John Gaiptman said 2011-12 was by far the most difficult year in the role, and like others on both sides of the dispute at the local level, he’s looking forward to a smoother road ahead. “Last year was a tough year on everybody,” Gaiptman said. “This year we are really focused on the important things and the important thing is creating classes that are flexible and relevant and engaging for our students … that will be the reason for any actions we take.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Deer report expected today Brittany Lee News staff

The Capital Regional District’s deer management advisory committee is one step closer to submitting its final report to the CRD board. The appointed citizen’s advisory group, currently consisting of 10 members after two resigned in early July and a new member, Glenn Jim of the Tseycum First Nation, was appointed July 19, is expecting to have final recommendations to the board by today (Sept. 5). “We are currently examining the draft for our final recommendations,” Jocelyn Skrlac, CAG chair, told the News in an email. The group has been meeting regularly since the beginning of May. A report to the CRD was initially expected in July, but the board decided to continue meetings in order to extend CAG discussions about possible strategies. “Because we have so many different landscapes (agricultural, rural, and urban) fairly

close to each other within the area covered by the CRD, the CAG has had to address all the management options available from the perspective of each landscape’s residents,” Skrlac said. The CAG has studied as many known practices as possible in order to find safe and effective ways to deal with deer on private property, she said, noting “there is no one solution to fit all CRD landscapes.” Possible recommendations include doing nothing; crop protec-

tion; capture and relocate; repellants; public education; controlled public hunt; professional sharpshooting; immunocontraceptives; deer-vehicle collision mitigation; capture and euthanize; hazing and frightening; and fencing. Members of the public have been able to provide their input on each management option through the CRD website since early July. The group’s final report will include short term, medium term, and long term suggestions,

with possible strategies that could be implemented almost immediately, and others within five to 10 years. “The efficacy and sustainability of control methods will also have to be monitored as the CAG’s recommendations for today’s (regional deer management strategy) may change over time,” Skrlac said.

OUR VIEW

Schools get back to the real job T

he summer holiday is over and school kids are back in the classrooms for another 10 months of education. Along with the ABCs and three Rs, this year they might even get report cards. This year students and their parents don’t have to worry about scrapped after-school activities or navigating the simmering tensions between teachers and administrators. In September 2011, students entered classrooms with teachers on a work-to-rule job action. Instruction didn’t stop, but teachers didn’t write report cards, wouldn’t host parentteacher conferences after school hours and in some cases, coaching for sports teams was taken over by volunteer parents. In the Saanich and Sooke school districts, for one, the administrators – principals, vice-principals, superintendents, managers – scrambled to cover watching elementary kids at recess and after school. A three-day strike in March capped off a terrible year in public education. This year classrooms are somewhat back to normal, but the labour war between teachers and government remains – especially with the issue of class size and composition. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is suing the government to regain bargaining rights over these points, and to challenge the hated Bill 22. BCTF has a court date in December. This kind of posturing could be moot. Education Minister George Abbott said that he expects the next round of bargaining with teachers to begin next March or April 2013, mere months before next provincial election. By then Abbott, and many other high-profile Liberals, will be coasting toward retirement. This awkward gap between the start of the school year now and the likely demise of the ruling Liberal government means it could be a quiet year for labour relations in education. The BCTF won’t waste its time seriously negotiating with a lame-duck administration when it could re-start negotiations with a more labour-friendly NDP government. Outgoing Liberals will be more than happy to hand this hornet’s nest to their friends across the aisle. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@oakbaynews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Emissions from mined oil sands crude are slightly higher than steam extraction, which is slightly higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-intensive crude used in North America is California heavy crude, which is conventionally drilled. Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated. Two U.S. environmental groups, including the one fronted by Redford, have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades. The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state for more than 60 years. It has periodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years. Some of that crude is refined in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. And of course Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And let’s not forget the most common heavy oil used in B.C. It’s called asphalt. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Saanich roads remain dangerous for cyclists Re: The future of cycling, News, Aug. 24) As one who has cycled in many countries, many cities, and in Vancouver while it developed a safe and respectful cycling infrastructure, I was shocked, dismayed, and discouraged from cycling when I moved to Saanich five years ago and discovered a deeply fragmented and dangerous cycling infrastructure. However, this summer I was hopeful when witnessing the building of a new and very safe cycle path on the east side of Cedar Hill Road in the 3500-block. My hopes are now crushed. This path is a one block wonder with no safe cycle path leading to or from the fabulous new path, and no cycle path on the west side of the street. In fact the west side of Cedar Hill Road from Cedar Hill Cross Road south is extremely dangerous for cyclists as it has uneven shoulders with numerous infrastructure hazards, for example, a drain cover that could stop a bike dead and that is located in a tight traffic pattern. I am a confident, experienced cyclist who holds my breath and prays when I head out for a ride from my home. Lynne Young Saanich

CRD deer population needs to be decreased I agree that a cull is the only option left to resolve and alleviate the pressure between humans and the deer. To restore the balance in nature it would seem to be the most humane action to take control the growing urban populations. It’s a sad situation. The growing problem has been ignored by local and provincial entities for more than 30 years. In my opinion, I don’t believe our elected representatives have acted in a responsible manner or worked toward protecting the health and well being of the animals living in our urban setting. Now the public is asked what we think we should do. I am sympathetic to both humans and animals. Hundreds of deer populate our area lots of twins and triplets again this year. Deer roam our streets day and night and do not move away when challenged at a close distance. Many seek refuge in this forested area. The number of injured deer has increased with over the years. We’ve also noticed deer appetites

have changed. They devour every bite of greenery if it’s not protected in some manner. So, to preserve and restore the natural plants on our property, we put net around the backyard. This problem is not going to go away by itself, that is clearly evident. Deborah Dickson Saanich

Good drivers save lucky dog On my way from Cordova Bay to the University of Victoria to see astronaut Julie Payette speak, I drove through Mount Doug park and met one lucky dog. I watched in horror as I saw in the near distance this little cream puff dog run playfully away from his elderly owner and into the street directly in front of an on-coming vehicle. It first appeared that the dog stood no chance as he disappeared under her vehicle. The driver immediately slowed and somehow in that slowness, that rascal puppy was able to scamper along underneath the car and came out behind it. The driver assumed the worst and through her shock opened the window, hollering to the owner of the dog that she was so sorry. Still driving my car slowly in the opposite direction, I was able to yell at her that the dog was OK and had run out the back. The dog’s owner watched helplessly as that lucky pooch went running like a dart down the Mount Doug roadway. As he was ahead of me with no apparent sign of slowing down, I drove cautiously and kept honking my horn at oncoming cars. “Lucky” had two more close calls, but thankfully, every on-coming car was able to spot the little dog as he careened along in a frenzy. As I caught up to him a few hundred yards from his home, there was a short break in on-coming traffic and I yelled out to him to stop and amazingly, he did, just for a moment and turned to look my way. I could see that cars behind me were travelling slow enough in a queue that I immediately stopped my car, opened the door and tried calling the pup. The woman traveling in the Volvo behind me did the same, and Lucky ran towards her and without stopping to greet her, jumped right into her car through the open door. While our line-up of cars waited patiently, I helped signal oncoming traffic to give her a chance to turn around, and

I presume she saw Lucky home to his distraught owners. By my calculation, Lucky got run over (but not injured) and skirted two more car accidents in that short strip of roadway. I felt so grateful for the cautious, patient and compassionate drivers in our city. Fay Melling Saanich

Pedestrians need to be street-wary Last month’s pedestrian death on Douglas Street is a sad reminder that when pedestrians and motor vehicles compete for space, the results can be fatal. The pedestrian may be in a crosswalk, but it really offers no protection all by itself. What amazes me is how many pedestrians step off the curb, either into a crosswalk, or to just plain jaywalk, without a single glance around to see if a vehicle is coming. No amount of traffic engineering is going to make our streets safer as long as so few bother to look before they leap. Robert McInnes Victoria

Globe opposition raises eyebrows Re: Francis Drake globe could help rewrite history of B.C. (News, Aug. 22) In the early 18th century, England was flexing its muscle as an emerging world power. The foundation of this island nation’s might and income rested upon its maritime supremacy. Yet the increased trade and expanding navy of the British Empire were threatened by the uncertainty of oceangoing navigation. Securing prize money from the Board of Longitude proved as hard for John Harrison as creating his legendary marine chronometer, partly due to powerful opposition from royal astronomer Nevil Maskelyne and a rival for the prize. Ultimately, King George III had to intervene on Harrison’s behalf to procure his rightful winnings. It could be argued Maskelyne’s denial of the merits of Harrison’s chronometers set the search for simplifying longitude back a hundred years. The same could be said of the ne’er-do-wells opposing the publication of Sam Bawlf’s findings as you reported. Bill Irvine Saanich

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Changes in Your Vision You may ﬁnd it disturbing if you are not seeing things as clearly and sharply as you used to, but as people get older, certain changes in their vision will occur. For example, the pupils of the eyes tend to become smaller, and the crystalline lenses inside the eyes become less clear. You may need more light to see and read comfortably. The decrease in clarity of the crystalline lenses tends to scatter the light entering the eye. This can sometimes cause a fogging of vision or a decreased tolerance to bright headlight glare. As people age the eyes’ focusing ability decreases and it may become more difﬁcult to change focus from distant to near objects and vice versa. These are just a few of the changes in your eyes that may be interfering with your ability to see well and comfortably. If you are experiencing any of these changes in your eyes or if you have other vision problems you feel need attention, have your eyes examined by your Optometrist.

Student’s short film accepted to international film festival Gaston’s work shows startling maturity Natalie North News staff

As Connor Gaston’s classmates watched a sneak peek of his latest film, Bardo Light, the University of Victoria writing student kept his eyes glued on one friend who was visibly swept away during the 10-minute short. “It seemed like he was actually invested in the story,” said 23-year-old Gaston. “And whenever it’s a sci-fi story, or something you might not actually believe, it’s nice to get that reaction – even if it’s just for that moment.” This summer, the list of those invested in the drama inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead and Gaston having seen pug dogs watch television, expanded beyond Gaston’s supporters at UVic to include the programmers at the Toronto International Film Festival. Bardo Light, a reference to the light we cannot resist and would rather watch than breathe, now makes its big screen premier this weekend alongside the world’s top films at TIFF 2012. “There’s a maturity to his voice as a film director that’s quite startling, considering how long he’s been making films,” said Maureen Bradley, filmmaker and professor of screenwriting at UVic. “I see these kind of

(Bardo Light’s ending) is terrifying in one way if your relationship with mortality isn’t settled and if it is, it’s quite a beautiful, calming moment.” Once Bradley gave Gaston access to filmmaking resources available through UVic’s writing department, including the school’s RED digital camera, Gaston fully committed to the project. “That really inspired me, thinking that I

have this camera that they use in Hollywood and if the story’s half-decent, what’s stopping me?” Gaston shot the film between Gabriola Island and Victoria, with a small volunteer crew and cast that includes local actors Chris Mackie, Donna Barnfield and Shaan Rahman with cameos from Gaston’s family dog Sally and his father, fiction author Bill Gaston. Bradley describes the film as chilling,

almost horrifying and ultimately moving through its use of metaphor similar to Gaston’s previous work. Gaston is reluctant to make any statements on the recurring theme of his films. “That’s for other people to decide. I’m just thinking about story. A good story: that’s all I care about,” he said. “If you want to make a movie, go do it. … You can shoot a movie on your phone. It shouldn’t be about the production value at all. Start off with a good story, a good character, whatever it may be and go out and shoot. You’ll learn a lot and you’ve got nothing to lose.” Though attending TIFF equipped with a feature film pitch and a freshly-printed set of business cards, Gaston plans to return to Victoria after the event and study screenwriting as a graduate student under Bradley’s guidance. “I think it’s really good for Victoria that he’s sticking close and I hope we don’t lose him to L.A.” Bradley said. “He’s going to miss the first week of class, but I figured that was alright. I’m not going to dock him any marks for going to the Toronto International Film Festival. I figured it was a pretty good excuse.” Also on the TIFF program this year: Frost, a sci-fi adventure short, written and directed by Jeremy Ball and starring Emily Piggford, both fellow UVic alumni. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Cirque du Soleil brings magic to Memorial Quidam captures the imagination Kevin Mills Black Press

Cirque du Soleil’s production of Quidam opens tonight (Sept. 5) at the Save On Foods Memorial Centre. While the performance itself has been called “spectacular” by critics, what goes on beforehand is equally impressive. Performers, musicians, costume designers and more were busy examining the stage in preparation for the show. As acrobats hung from the ceiling, skippers warmed up back stage.

While audiences are always appreciative of the performer’s talents, the acrobats themselves sometimes forget how impressive their routines can be. “We’re in a little bubble here.

Victoria Downtown Public Market Society Vancity business member The Greater Victoria Region has been without a year-round public market for over 50 years. Victoria Downtown Public Market Society (VDPMS) aims to change that, with Vancity’s help. In July 2012 the VDPMS signed a contract to establish an 18,000 square foot permanent indoor public market on the ground ﬂoor of the historic Hudson building on Douglas Street. Vancity has been a proud supporter of VDPMS’s efforts from the

start. Vancity’s downtown Victoria Community Branch was the sole sponsor of the first vendor consultation for the project. The project’s initial funding was structured through Enterprising NonProfits, an organization financially supported in part by Vancity. Slated to open in spring 2013, the new market will provide economic support for Greater Victoria’s food economy—farmers, bakers, butchers, restaurateurs and organic food producers of all kinds. With some 25 vendors selling everything from

fresh produce to organic meat to local cheese, it will also create a new permanent hub of values-based local food and artisan businesses in Victoria’s historic downtown district. Vancity shares VDPMS’s commitment to preserving the Greater Victoria community’s food security, and its goal to help local growers and independent food producers become economically viable. We continue to invest in the people and businesses who produce, deliver and serve locally grown food.

You already get value from buying local. Why not bank that way? vancity.com/victoria Make Good Money (TM) and Good Money (TM) are trademarks of Vancouver City Savings Credit Union.

a significant alarm for our community and caused a lot of people a lot of worry and also expended numerous police resources,” Russell said. Three shoes, including one pair, were found around 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 30. The first was found by a tourist from the Lower Mainland, who alerted police. Officers, with the help of a canine unit, found two more during a search of the beach. The Clover Point turnaround was closed for about five hours as police searched. Both a local pathologist and a Simon Fraser University forensic anthropologist are analyzing the shoes and contents. “We anticipate being able to show the shoes sometime next week in hopes of generating tips or leads that will help us with this public mischief investigation,” Russell said. Conviction on public mischief charges carries with it up to a fiveyear prison sentence.

But the artificial turf field is undeniably Canada’s home for rugby, new and all, and its about to host six major International Board Rugby tests as the Americas Rugby Championship comes to town Oct. 12 to 20. The men’s 15s tournament won’t just survive out of Bear Mountain Stadium in Langford, it’ll thrive, said Mike Chu, Rugby Canada general manager of operation. “The seats are close to the field and it’s international rugby in an intimate setting. The community is excited and supportive and we can’t wait to fill all 2,800 seats.” That’s 2,800 seats, with added bleachers. Not the 82,000 of England’s Twickenham, but hey, it’s a start. Included in the Americas championship are Canada, ranked 13th in the world, U.S.A. (17), Uruguay (21st) and the favourite, Argentina (eighth), which was originally planning to host the tournament.

Coach Kieran Crowley will lead Canada on its campaign to the RWC 2015. The round robin tourney will happen with two matches a day on three separate occasions, Oct. 12, 16 and 20. It’s a crucial stage in the development of Canada’s domestic players as they campaign for the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, said coach Kieran Crowley. “Each team will have its country’s best non-professional players and many of them we’ll see at the 2015 RWC.” Locally, the size of the event also serves to raise rugby’s profile, a reminder of the Canadian tax dol-

lars invested in the Rugby Canada Centre of Excellence, also situated at Bear Mountain Stadium. “It’s a great vote of confidence from the IRB to get this tournament. They hold strict guidelines around their standards,” Crowley said. Coincidently, Crowley offered his own vote of confidence. The former New Zealand All Black affirmed his commitment to lead Rugby Canada to the 2015 RWC, something that was in question earlier this summer. Reports from New Zealand listed Crowley as a finalist for the head coaching job of New Zealand’s Auckland Blues, which compete in the elite Super Rugby 15. The team hired another former All Black, the great John Kirwan. “That was just a sign that at some stage I would like to go back to New Zealand, but that’s all it was,” Crowley said. “I’m here for the next four years.” Looking ahead to the ARC, talk centres on Argentina. It’s no secret Argentina has been a major target of the IRB’s growth plan in recent years. This summer Argen-

tina was added to the Tri Nations rugby championship, now known simply as the Rugby Championship, against superpowers South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Thusly Argentina will send a secondary squad to Victoria, but one that will be strong enough to win it all. Uruguay and U.S.A. will be in the same situation as Canada, using its top domestic players. One significant factor for Canada is the turf. It’s one of the few IRB sanctioned artificial turfs used in international play. More importantly, it’s the home training ground of Rugby Canada. “We welcome the (other teams)

Coach won’t tip his hand

IN BRIEF

Youth rugby camp at UVic

Royals preseason Travis Paterson News staff

Head coach Dave Lowry of the Victoria Royals won’t let on just which youngster has a chance to crack the lineup this fall. The Royals preseason continues against Kelowna in Maple Ridge on Friday (Sept. 7), in Kelowna on Saturday, and back to Victoria against the Vancouver Giants on Sept. 15. “Right now I’m not singling anyone out,” Lowry said the day prior to starting the preseason on Aug. 30. “Some guys have earned their right to play some exhibition games.” The former Calgary Flames assistant coach also wouldn’t dispel a scenario, however, where both 16-year-old defencemen Joe Hicketts and Jack

Hooker Ryan Hamilton (UVic Vikes) and centre Mike Scholz (Castaway Wanderers) from the national men’s rugby team hope to represent Canada in the Americas Rugby Championship.

Allen Douglas/Kamloops This Week

Victoria Royals hopeful Clay Spencer carries the puck against the Kamloops Blazers in Kamloops on Aug. 30. Walker could make the team. The speedy blueliners are equal parts flashy, yet undersized. “It’s going to be a good battle and I’ve said before, age is nothing. If you’re good enough, that’s what will determine who makes the team.” Last week the Royals made some key signings, led by that of Czech import goalie, 17-yearold Patrik Polivka. The club

also inked four 16-year-olds, forwards Brandon Fushimi and Michael Bell, defenceman Ryan Gagnon and goaltender Michael Herringer, and some 1013 Fushimi, from Colorado, stands out as the only nondrafted player. After impressing at last year’s rookie camp Fushimi was protected on the Royals’ 50-man list. sports@vicnews.com

Rugby World Cup veteran Ryan Hamilton, national centre Mike Scholz, and other players from the Canadian rugby program will lead the first National Youth Rugby Skills Clinic for girls and boys aged 12 to 19. The camp runs Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the turf fields of UVic next to Centennial Stadium. “We want to make it a one-on-one coach to player situation as much as possible,” said Hamilton, a UVic Vikes grad. Fees are $75 per day. To register email Hamilton at Ryan_ Hamilton1@hotmail. com.

and everything, and not to be cliche, but it’s our home,” national team hooker Ryan Hamilton said. sports@vicnews.com

Three men charged with securities crimes News staff

A former rising star in real estate investment is one of three men in Victoria hit with securities charges linked to improper investment sales. Saanich police and West Shore RCMP assisted the B.C. Securities Commission criminal investigation team in the investigation, which led to the arrest of two men on Aug. 28. Daniel Barton, 29, a resident of Victoria, and Gregory Gillespie, 36, of Saanich, were arrested at their respective homes without incident, and made their

first appearance in court last Wednesday. They are due back in Victoria provincial court on Sept. 19. As of Aug. 29, Andrew Chengalath, 28, remained at large and the court has issued a warrant for his arrest. The three men are each charged under the Securities Act with selling securities through Oasis Properties Inc. without being registered with any regulating agency, and charged with selling securities without a prospectus. The alleged offenses took place between March 1, 2008 and Oct. 31, 2009. B.C. Securities Commission alleges the men improperly sold securities related to a real estate investment centered on

1250604 Alberta Ltd., a company controlled by Barton and doing business as Oasis Properties and Caprice Investments. Barton is the most high-profile of the three accused. In 2008, during the same time period of his alleged offenses, the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce awarded Barton the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. The Oak Bay High grad was also noted in Monday Magazine in 2006 as an up-and-coming real estate entrepreneur who owned scores of homes in Alberta. Richard Gilhooley, a communications officer with the B.C. Securities Commis-

sion, said the commission is alleging that none of the men had registered with regulating agencies such as the B.C. Securities Commission or the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada, for example. Selling securities without a prospectus – which details the business plan, financial audits, and future plans of the company – without an exemption, is also against the Securities Act. “We allege they acted contrary to the public interest. The requirements are there to protect investors,” Gilhooley said. B.C. Securities Commission wouldn’t say how many investors are involved, the amount of money invested or how the complaint against the men emerged. Gilhooley said the long gap to lay charges is not unusual in these types of cases. Oasis Properties, which had address listings in Langford and Victoria, no longer has a working phone number or website. Barton is listed as president of Oasis Properties Inc. and Gillespie was its chief operating officer. Anyone who invested with Oasis Properties and Caprice Investments is encouraged to contact the B.C. Securities Commission at www.investright.org or 1-800-373-6393. editor@saanichnews.com
