A 12-year-old Oak Bay homicide investigation may have been hampered by deceit and the corrupt practice of a Vancouver police officer. The Vancouver Police Board is considering further sanctions against a 13-year member of the Vancouver Police Department following allegations of misconduct in the investigation of a death in Oak Bay. Owen Padmore died from head injuries apparently sustained in a fall at his mother’s Oak Bay home 12 years ago. In 2008, Oak Bay police received new information on the case. In 2011, a suspect was arrested for manslaughter but no charges were laid. Now, it has been revealed a Vancouver police officer who is under investigation for allegedly lying and interfering with the investigation, has a close relationship to the prime suspect in the case. “The police officer from Vancouver is very closely tied in. The relationship is very close with the suspect,” said Oak Bay deputy chief Kent Thom. The Vancouver Police Board is considering discontinuing the pay of the officer following allegations of misconduct under the Police Act. According to a Vancouver police media release, the officer lied to the homicide investigators, accessed restricted police databases and provided information to another person. Vancouver police suspended the officer with pay in August 2011. PLEASE SEE: Investigation remains open, Page A4

Lounge Lizards give seniors a shot at the open mic Danielle Pope News staff
Drelene Gibb knows just how important it is to push past comfort zones, especially for aging seniors. Gibb, 65, is an empty nester and widow, but that hasn’t stopped her love of the ukulele or her passion for performance. The Oak Bay resident hopes to inspire others to activate their abilities, so she created Lounge Lizards, an afternoon open-mic group at the Monterey Recreation Centre tailored for talented adults. “This has really become a venue for people to dust off their gifts and talents that they haven’t been using for perhaps years,” says Gibb, who started the weekly event last March. “I realized there were a lot of individuals out there who did not have a place to express and develop themselves creatively, and you need that to stay energized.” Since the kick-off, Lounge Lizards has grown to include about 30 regular
performers and dozens of audience members who make a trip to the centre to see the day’s performances. Shows have included piano and accordion solos, guitar and harmonica gigs, duos, trios, vocalists, even harpsichordists. While better-known locals like David Mercer have found a warm home among the performers, Gibb is quick to point out the venue is not about making anyone famous, or overshadowing the competition – it’s about finding support. And participants do; every performer earns a Lounge Lizards button on their third show. Gibb herself will keep up her own performing with her ukulele group which, she says, like the open mic, is a casual way to have some fun. “When you can express yourself – that’s what keeps you alive and vibrant,” she says. “And having the support to encourage our talents.” news@mondaymag.com

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Tolerance to bright light If you wear glasses or contact lenses and have a low tolerance to bright light, you may want to consider getting properly prescribed sunglasses for your vision comfort. Your eyebrows, eyelids, and iris, which is the coloured part of the eye, offer some protection from sunlight and glare, but if bright or glaring light bothers your eyes, you may need the added protection of sunglasses. Certain occupations such as outside work or driving may benefit from sunglass protection. Sunlight provides the light we need to see objects clearly, but it also emits two invisible forms of radiation, ultraviolet and infrared rays. A low tolerance to bright light or over-exposure to the rays of the sun may cause minor eye irritation while prolonged exposure may cause more serious problems. You want to be able to see clearly and comfortably no matter what the light conditions and you also want to protect your eyes. Ask your eye doctor as to which sunglass is the most appropriate for you.

House of history Judith Andersen remembered through house’s heritage designation Danielle Pope News staff
“She really was the most private person I ever knew,” Richard Andersen says about his wife Judith. “And, even after being with her for 40 years, I never really knew where she stood – on a theological level – though, of course, I was very loud and vocal about my views.” That privacy is why there will be no memorial, no celebration of life or formal gathering for the long-time heritage advocate in Oak Bay. But for those who knew Judith Andersen, who died June 5 after her battle with cancer, privacy never halted her lifetime of dedication to her community, her environment and her home. Just before her death, Judith was successful in achieving her dream of earning heritage designation for her house at 1265 Roslyn Road. Though the building received a statement of significance in 2004 from the District of Oak Bay, which recognized the location’s historical value in having been one of the district’s earliest rent-to-own properties, the designation comes after years of Judith’s restorative work. “If Judith was here, she would have a story for everything – the vase, the table, she chose it all very carefully,” says Pat Wilson, chair of the Oak Bay Heritage Commission, who will host a private garden party in Judith’s name on Aug. 1. The house, named Robin Oak by Judith, is an English arts-and-crafts bungalow and garage cozily situated just before the top of the hill on Roslyn Road by the Brighton Walkway. The one-and-a-half-storey house was built in 1911 by Island Investment Company, with open verandahs and interior detailing that represented a fine example of quality housing made available to the middle class at the time. While Robin Oak is now the most recent addition to Oak Bay’s inventory of designated heritage homes, the Andersens
didn’t arrive there until 1997, after a 15-year stint on Russell Island, a private spot of land out of the mouth of Salt Spring Island’s Fulford Harbour that Judith’s family owned. The couple since donated the land to the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. Andersen, who formerly worked for NASA, tells the story of how the couple fell into “what I thought was a lot of money” from the inheritance his father left, only to discover it would be just the down payment for the house his wife fell in love with in 1994. The Oak Bay home, back then, was in desperate need of repairs and restoration, so Judith, who had a degree in design, went about gutting the kitchen, moving walls and beginning the long process of renovation. Then news struck of Andersen’s prostate cancer diagnosis, and it became clear he would have to stay in town. Judith organized contractors to make the property as livable as possible for her husband – his only running water was out of a shower – then went back to Russell Island to single-handedly moved them to Oak Bay. “It’s no easy feat to move from an island. You have to organize barges to move the truck, insurance is a nightmare, and you’re driving on and off of a sandy beach – but she did it all,” says Andersen. “That’s just the kind of woman she was.” While Judith was always involved with any community she was a part of, her move to Oak Bay would quickly see her participation as a member of the Oak Bay Heritage Foundation, the Victoria Heritage Foundation and similar roles in Saanich and the surrounding areas. Her house is outfitted with art purchased from locals, and customized in a style that is at once classic, yet surprisingly spacious and bright. The house now also showcases its original woodwork and flooring, doublehung casement windows, a hand-painted frieze in the dining room, period bathroom floor tiles, detailing around the windows

She treated this house the same way.” The couple started the Judith and Richard Andersen Fund through the Victoria Foundation, a trust fund designated to support the arts for youth. Andersen requests that, in lieu of flowers and sympathies for Judith, donations be made to the fund.
And, after 16 years in Robin Oak, Andersen says he will live there as long as he can. “Our whole life is here, and this is where I want to be,” says Andersen, 81. “Getting that designation was wonderful because the house protected now, and that was the most important thing in the world to Judith.” news@mondaymag.com

Investigation remains open in Padmore case Continued from Page A1
“That officer was interviewed by investigators in early March 2011, and provided information that had direct relevance to the initial grounds for arrest of the suspect in this matter,” said Oak Bay Police Chief Const. Mark Fisher in a statement. “One month later, in April 2011, this officer recanted portions of his earlier statement to police.” Padmore was 31 when he died on Dec. 11, 2001. He had been visiting his mother’s house on Hampshire Road the day previous. At one point, he left the house and when he returned, he had suffered a head injury. His mother called
an ambulance, but Padmore died later at Victoria General Hospital. Initially, investigators suspected foul play, but a coroner’s report and witness statements at the time resulted in the death being classified as non-suspicious. Details of the new information that led police to reopen the investigation have never been disclosed. Three people were arrested resulting from the 2008 investigation. Two were released, but charges were recommended against the third, a man who was at the house where Padmore stayed the night before he died. The man had no criminal history, so was not held in police custody. Crown reviewed the file for months, but the manslaughter charge
was not approved. “The information we received from this police officer in Vancouver was relevant to the investigation – when it was recanted, the evidence was no longer there,” said Thom. The Vancouver Police Board’s decision follows a two-year investigation into events brought to the attention of the Vancouver Police Department by an outside police agency in 2011. New Westminster Police Chief David Jones was assigned by the Office of the Police Complaints Commission to conduct an investigation. As a result, the offending officer is now facing charges of two counts of deceit, one count of neglect of duty, one count of corrupt practice and one count of
improper disclosure of information. The decision to suspend the officer without pay, or to continue the suspension with pay will be made by the Vancouver Police Board at an upcoming meeting. Fisher said the Oak Bay police will not be commenting further on the disciplinary proceedings. The investigation into the death of Padmore remains open. “We’re confident there’s more to this investigation and it hasn’t come to its proper conclusion at this point in time,” Thom said. - with Oak Bay News files editor@oakbaynews.com

Wilkinson Road jail goes high-tech Edward Hill News staff
The jail on Wilkinson Road is piloting a computer system that allows inmates easy access to their court documents using fingerprint scanning technology. Corrections B.C. has rolled out a touchscreen computer terminal system at the Vancouver Island Regional Correction Centre in Saanich and the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, and at five parole offices in the province. VIRCC has two terminals in the jail, which so far gives about 50 inmates computer access to their records. Inmate identity is authenticated from their fingerprint, which is encrypted and linked with their files on a closed network within the Ministry of Justice. It’s the first system for inmates in Canada that uses biometric technology. “This is groundbreaking. To our knowledge no other corrections jurisdiction in Canada has a system like this in place. We are pretty excited about leading the way,” said Marnie Mayhew, spokeswoman for B.C. Corrections. The system is called Integrated Corrections Operations Network (ICON II), an $11 million project that will see the access terminals rolled

(Left) An inmate at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre on Wilkinson Road has his fingerprint scanned to allow him access to a computer terminal (right) that is activated using biometric fingerprint data. The computer system allows inmates to access all their court documents. out in B.C.’s nine jails and 55 parole offices by the end of the year. One of the key problems that triggered ICON was the difficulty of providing inmates easy access to evidence and disclosure documents submitted by the Crown. As asserted by the Supreme Court of Canada, inmates have the legal right to review evidence against them at virtually any time. Most evidence submitted by police agencies and the Crown in B.C. is digital and provided to the accused (and his or her lawyer) on a hard drive or CD. The jail would provide a Internet-disabled computer to the inmate to read evidence files, a process Bill Young, project director of ICON II, describes as “problematic and cum-
bersome.” “Obviously it’s problematic for offenders to have access to computers,” Young said. “In (pre-trial) custody, they have the right to access a computer 24 hours per day. We can’t determine when they can access their material. ... And we have to provide that material and evidence in a secure way, and there could be 20 or 30 other inmates in a living area.” Victoria criminal defence attorney Paul Pearson said for complex cases, the Crown often floods the accused with tens of thousands of pages of evidence. Typically, a defendant in custody would need a computer in their cell for days or weeks to read the documents. “Material can take hundreds of hours to
read through. If you limit that, if you can’t read that stuff, you can’t defend yourself,” said Pearson, of the firm Mulligan Tam Pearson. “Jails struggle with larger cases with hard drives. They don’t like the idea of inmates having unfettered access to a computer.” Pearson hasn’t seen the ICON system, and said it tweaks privacy concerns, but if it allows inmates better access to court files, it probably is a valuable tool. “Having access to disclosure documents is fundamental to our justice system,” he said. “Anything that helps that process is a good thing.” Young said B.C. Corrections worked with the B.C. Privacy Commissioner to ensure the system complies

allows staff to focus on supervision,” he said. “We’ve heard offenders like the fact they can look up their own information, and they’d like to see more services like this.” The fingerprint system will also be used as an additional way to verify the identity of inmates during transfers in and out of jail, and interactions with medical personnel. “It makes sense before medications are issued that the nurse checks that it’s the right inmate,” Young said. He also noted the computer network is an isolated system, and can’t be hijacked by an inmate to access the Internet or hacked from outside. At the same time, ICON is being assessed through the pilot projects to address security concerns. Young said jurisdictions across Canada struggle with the problem of allowing inmates access to records but limiting access to com-
with privacy laws. The ICON system itself doesn’t record actual fingerprints – it creates an encrypted string of characters based on the uniqueness of a fingerprint. The system uses “off the shelf” fingerprint scanning technology, but B.C. Corrections and B.C. Shared Services branch created the back-end software that links existing offender and document databases with fingerprint data. Staff and inmates at Wilkinson Road have given the system a thumbs-up so far, Young said. Beyond evidence documents, inmates can use it to review court orders, hearing dates, communicate with probation officers, and book medical appointments within the jail. It also eliminates the need for paper documents, which in a jail can be easily lost or stolen. “Staff like it. It cuts down on routine questions and tasks, and

Panel will find that fear works Much analysis and speculation about different leaders has been done in the months since the B.C. Liberals scored a shocking, come-from-behind win over the NDP in the last provincial election. Guided by research Running negative being undertaken this summer by a diverse, campaign was five-person panel, the New Democratic key for Liberals Party plans to tackle the issue of just how they lost an election they were destined to win. Party president Moe Sihota, no stranger to the election process and campaigning, admitted the NDP must do some serious soulsearching to solve the riddle of how to get the better of the B.C. Liberals. Many factors contributed to the loss of the NDP’s grip on the hearts and minds of the province’s voters. There was leader Adrian Dix’s mid-campaign flip-flop on oil pipelines and the party’s lack of laserlike focus on a small number of issues while the Liberals focused on one: the economy. Even the lack of natural charisma of Dix himself helped create the perfect political storm. The NDP can do all the analysis it wants to try and find answers. But the unpalatable fact that negative advertising works, especially when aimed at a relatively large number of undecided voters, is a reality the party must face for the next election. Sihota acknowledged that both his party and the B.C. Liberals were surprised at the effectiveness of the governing party’s approach; the way it stirred up fear on the part of B.C. voters at the prospect of leaving the economy in the hands of the NDP. Putting it into business terms, the voting public in too many areas of the province –the Capital Region excluded – weren’t sold on the NDP brand. It may go against party philosophy, but perhaps the NDP needs to consult an image specialist before the next election. One need only to look south of the border, to the last presidential election, to realize how well creating fear can work. What do you think?

If council gives the green light to this proposal in its current form, it would set a precedent for the redevelopment of multifamily buildings throughout Oak Bay that would see extreme variances to allowable setbacks and other building requirements resulting in severe encroachment on residential neighbours. As such, it deserves the front-page coverage the paper has given it. Second, and speaking more generally, the coverage of the comments of individual members of council is invaluable and the only source available. Although the municipality posts the minutes of all meetings on their website, the
comments and views expressed by council members are only summarized cursorily and are never attributed to individuals on council. The lengthy quotes in your article were particularly welcome as I believe they demonstrate the varying degree to which members of council have given thoughtful consideration to all of the issues regarding the specific proposal that is before them. I hope the Oak Bay News will continue to be our eyes and ears at municipal hall by covering committee and council meetings on a regular basis. It is essential for citizens to be aware of the views of members of council, especially on so-called “hot button” issues. Regular, fair and rigorous reporting of the views of the individuals we have elected is fundamental in helping voters make informed decisions at election time and in between. Margaret Asch Oak Bay
Neighbours not ‘against’ Clive Re: Split vote on Clive (News July 19). We would like to dispel the misconception of some Oak Bay councillors that we are “against and afraid of change.” What we are against is this proposal for replacing The Clive. We are absolutely not “against”, nor “afraid of change,” but only against the immensity and accompanying problems of this particular proposal, and resulting setting of a precedent. We would welcome a new rental building on the lot that conformed to the current bylaws. Such a solution would have a smaller footprint with acceptable setbacks, green space and use underground parking. Having the main entrance on Oak Bay Avenue would be a big plus. We feel confident that the current, talented architectural team would produce a good solution if given the mandate to do so.
We are not against progress that benefits the community. There have been many good changes in Oak Bay during the 25 years that we have been residents. Some projects, after much debate and many amendments, have in our view, been a positive for the community, such as the Penny Farthing Pub, the Winchester/ Ottavio complex, upgrades to the Henderson and Oak Bay Recreation Centres, and others. We are also pleased with the project for a new Oak Bay High school. The flow of changes continues unabated, and no one is more aware of this than the members of council who will always face the scrutiny of residents with regard to these changes. This is as it should be. Helga and Lance Traylen Oak Bay
Is it safe to get your fingers as close to a seal’s teeth as you publicize on the front page of your July 12 issue? Even a seal habituated to humans may make a mistake – they have to lift themselves substantially upward to grab the food. Better to drop the food from a distance, if you miss the mouth, the seal will find the food in the water (they are good at that). Naive people need to be educated, those cute creatures have their own limitations and motivations. One unintended near-tragedy occurred in North Vancouver when a seal grabbed a child on the dock. Her father was cleaning fish, presumably the seal mistook the child for a big fish or had bad aim. And I see someone in B.C. offering bear tours. I hope they know what they are doing – a couple of years ago a person on a polar bear viewing tour died in Scandinavia in a badly run

Human destruction worse than that of deer Who does more damage to the planet -- deer or humans? Perhaps Oak Bay councillors could re-think how important a deer cull really is in the grand scheme of things. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all the time, energy and money
spent on deer culls could instead be spent on cleaning up the Earth from human destruction? Now that would make the world a better place. Lia Fraser Saanich

Eight seniors competed in the Victoria event and Winter was deemed the winner by a panel of three judges. “I saw a poster asking for singers 65 or better,” she said. “I’ve been in a lot of competitions. I have sang on TV, radio and on stages.” Her first radio-broadcast performance came as a youngster on CJVI in 1945, when she sang I Am Always Chasing Rainbows. Later, she joined the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, now known as the Victoria Operatic Society. From 1969 to 1974 she was a singer at Butchart Gardens at the Just for Fun show. “I have been singing all my life,” the Langford resident said. Today she sings and plays piano with a group called The Nutones, who generally play at retirement residences. “We play mostly oldtime music and we take requests.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

More than a dozen people, along with Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen (centre) – and Ole the dog – came out to wave at NASA’s global photograph, which snapped a shot of Earth through the Cassini spacecraft last Friday.
Beacon Plaza Sidney 250-656-0096
Spacecraft makes a star of Oak Bay Danielle Pope News staff
Oak Bay Earthlings were starry-eyed on Friday, July 19, as the Cassini spacecraft snapped a photo from outer space that included those waving at Saturn in Cattlepoint Urban Star Park. The event, which marked NASA’s global photograph “Wave at Saturn”, is only the third time in history a space craft has taken a shot that included the Earth from deep in the solar system – the first happened in 1990 via the Voyager spacecraft, and the second in 2006 by Cassini. But while space fever may have caught the attention of
the dozen or so residents who turned out for the historical photo, a handful of Oak Bay volunteers have been struck by star power for more than a year now, and their mission is about to take off. The ocean-side tourist spot in Oak Bay will soon be designated as Cattlepoint Urban Star Park, thanks to Mark Bohlman and Star Park volunteers who went to council last year with their proposal to anoint the area as a recognized star-gazing hot spot. Oak Bay council, police and even the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada loved the idea, and the park will see its official designation in late August. “We brought our idea to
council last year, and everyone was so supportive and really bought into the tourist value of this,” says long-time space lover Bohlman. “I have three kids myself, and I realize the importance of amateur astronomy to our youth. This really is a special place.” While the distinction won’t change any parameters of the current park, Bohlman says the low-impact move is more about recognition and preservation. Cattlepoint will also become just the second urban star park in Canada, although there are currently 16 rural star parks throughout the country. Please see: Seeing Stars, Page A13

Local singer-songwriter creates album inspired by what he found on the road MARY ELLEN GREEN arts@mondaymag.com
L
ocal musician Danton Jay is hard to pin down. With a taste for travel and a broad musical background, it’s no wonder his debut solo album, Morcenx, is an exercise in diversity. The songs on Morcenx, named for a small town on the west coast of France, range in genre from folk, rock, blues and jazz to spoken word over improvisational guitar, but the message is concise — Jay is a proponent of sustainability and is using his music to both entertain and enlighten, without being preachy. “My key theory is that it doesn’t matter who’s telling them, if people hear something they’re more likely to reflect and act on it,”Jay says. “If it’s on the radio, people will hear it and hopeful reflect on it and enjoy the music, too.” Jay is a UVic psychology grad who researched promotional methods and sustainability. He set out on a six-month journey through Europe to see theory put into practice. It was that adventure that inspired Jay to write the songs on Morcenx. He spent the last month of his trip in France, holed up in an apartment writing. The result is an album of expansive music and percipient lyrical content. “This kind of music requires attention. It’s not for pre-drinking before the club,” he says. Jay returned to Victoria, set up a recording studio in his apartment and started recording the album. “I don’t have a dining room, I have a soundbooth,” he says. He got permission from David Suzuki to use his essay “The fundamental failure of environmentalism” on his track Listen, which Jay reads over completely improvised guitar. Jay is humble about his music and is all about the collective experience. He’s not quick to be centre of attention or to take all the credit. He even goes as far as listing all the session musicians on the album right on the front of the CD jacket. And it’s an impressive list of local A-listers that includes the album’s co-producer Joby Baker (Alex Cuba, The Bills, The Cowboy Junkies, Mae Moore), Adam Sutherland (Armchair Cynics) and Julia Wakal (Aidan Knight, Bucan Bucan). Jay has assembled a six-piece band for the CD release at the Copper Owl (1900 Douglas) Wednesday, July 24 that includes Nick La Riviere on trombone, Miguelito Valdez on trumpet, Chris Van Sickle on piano, Ian McElroy on bass and Andrew Rollins on drums. After only one rehearsal, Jay was ecstatic about how well the band was coming together. “There’s so much going on. It’s exciting to hear all the parts together live. Everyone really owns their parts. It’s so rewarding to have full confidence in the talented people behind you. … And playing live allows Morcenx - Local musician Danton Jay is celebrating the release of his debut solo album, Morcenx, with a show Wednesday, July 24 at the Copper Owl (1900 Douglas).

As Bohlman points out, Cattlepoint offers a rare reprieve from such a light-polluted city, and its separation is what will earn the park national significance. An inauguration ceremony will be held for the park in late August, where new signage will be revealed. “We’re very proud to have our own star park, and this will be a way to attract people and astronomers from all over North America to see what Oak Bay has to offer,” says Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, who participated in the wave photo. “This is also a great example of private initiative, and shows the innovation of our residents who worked to make this happen.” While star gazers can enjoy the glimmering sights right away, Bohlman says there are many resources to aid in everyone’s interpretive enjoyment. One tool he recommends is the “StarTracker” app available for smartphones, which allows users to plot out the direct location of various stars and planets, and divulges a few fun facts. When it comes to facts, wavers were interested to learn that it would take about 17 minutes for Cassini to take the photo on Friday – a shot which was actually of a portion of Saturn’s rings, where Earth would be featured as a small dot – as it takes approximately 80-90 minutes for light from Earth to travel to the spacecraft, which is constantly moving away from our planet. Where will it eventually end up? Bohlman suggests eventual disintegration. “Or, who knows. … It probably winds up in a used-satellite lot on someone else’s planet,” Jensen quipped. To learn more about the park, visit cattlepointstarpark.org.

General store a throwback to old-time merchants Stepping through the door of The Local General Store on Haultain Road, one is greeted with a pleasantly fragrant aroma. Almost sensing the visitor’s curiosity about the source of the fragrance, shop co-owner Alix Harvey leads him to a corner of the shop where a vintage full-sized Beach stove is mostly covered by a collection of organic body care products. Next to it is a cupboard Don Descoteau housing custom-made Biz Beat pottery – mugs, plates and other items – made by at-risk women in Vancouver who are being taught new job and life skills. Nearby is a shelf featuring hemp underwear and shirts, courtesy of a Bellingham supplier. “The idea, as much as possible, is to be sourcing local and B.C. and Pacific Northwest products,” says Harvey, a retired special education teacher who wasn’t ready to kick back yet. The non-grocery items are just part of the mix for The Local, which opened about a month ago next to Adams Food Fair – a more traditional corner grocery store. There’s a section of raw whole grains, and an electric mill for turning rice, oats and wheat into flour. While there’s many gluten-free products here, Harvey clarifies that this is not a “health-food store,” but a “whole food store.” With the help of husband Chris Harvey,

Big four get their due 1930s-era track team now inducted into Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame
Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2013 ■ Kjeld Brodsgaard (Builder) Brodsgaard was chairman of the organizing committee for the 1993 Commonwealth Wrestling Championships and sport chair of wrestling for the 1994 Commonwealth Games.
T
hey were the stars of the city, Victoria’s top athletes during a time of depression. The YMCA’s track team from the 1930s was tops in the country. Coached by YMCA physical director Travis Archie McKinnon, the group of short and midPaterson dle distance runners Reporting was led by 220-yard sprinter and quartermile (440-yard) specialist Joe Addison. (Races were done in yards and miles then.) Half-mile runner Bill Dale and mile specialist Chuck Cunningham made up the core three with Addison, while a list of shortdistance sprinters each spent time as the team’s fourth man. It’s been a long time coming, but the Y team are finally going into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame, part of the 2013 inductee group to be celebrated on Oct. 26. “We originally wanted to put Bill Dale in about 12 years ago. He was still alive then, but when we sat down with him and told him our intentions, he refused,” said Dave Unwin, a Victoria sports archivist. Unwin has long snooped out the history of athletes in the city. Dale sent Unwin on a new hunt, one that finally ended with a phone call last year. “At first Bill told us about his brother Vic Dale and said Vic was more deserving, his brother being a great basketball player and all-around athlete. Then Bill explained that it was Addison who was the (Y team) ringleader.” The only problem was Addison’s story ended in the Second World War. Unwin knew he was a policeman and a truant officer whose pay was split between the City of Victoria and the school district. He wasn’t with the Victoria police department for long. He signed up with the army, transferred to the air force and was shot down in a bomber during the war. Until a lucky turn of events, Addison’s story had disappeared from history. But the word was out around Victoria that the GVSHOF was on the lookout for Addison’s family descendants, and in 2012 Addison’s nephew Roy Williams called Unwin. “Just prior to Christmas I had a visit from Williams. He ... brought two boxes of Addison’s scrapbooks, photos and awards,” Unwin said. The newspaper stories and information, most of it from the 1930s, suggested the Y team deserved to be in the hall of fame. Among many news articles was photos of Addison playing other sports, including a soccer photo from high school, representing Saanich school district at the city school
■ Keith Dagg (Builder) Dagg chaired the 2005 and 2013 Ford Men’s World Curling Championships and helped bring the PGA tour to Victoria in 1981. ■ Michael Edgson (Athlete) Edgson, a visually impaired swimmer, is one of Canada’s most successful athletes with 18 gold, three silver medals and nine world records from three Paralympic Games in the 1980s and 1990s.

This year is the first time Addison has been enshrined in the hall, though many of his teammates are already inducted. The Y team were generally known as a group of four, with a frequently changing sprinter. It’s believed Lynn Patrick was the team’s first sprinter, son of Lester and brother of Murray (Muzz), but Lynn left for the New York Rangers where he won the Stanley Cup as a player, with Muzz on his team and dad Lester behind the bench. Navy man Owen Bentley also took a turn as the sprinter, as did Paul Rowe, who went onto win the Grey Cup with the Calgary Stampeders. There was Noel Morgan, an allaround sportsman, and lastly, Bruce Humber, who went to university in Washington state and was the only member to represent Canada at the Olympics when he went to the 1936 Berlin Games. Addison had been to the 1934 Empire Games, and should have qualified for the 1936 Olympics, as well as Dale, Unwin found. “Addison, Dale and Humber went to the Canadian qualifying championships in Toronto on the way to Olympics (in 1936). When they got there it rained all weekend,” Unwin said. “Addison did both the quarter and hurdles but had bad luck though he could have qualified for both events based on his previ-

For the 1996 Summer Games, Porter made the transition to single sculls and finished in second place to win silver. The 1993 single sculls World Champion also captured two silver medals with the men’s eight at the 1990 and 1991 World Championships. ■ Alison Sydor (Athlete) A former UVic student, Sydor won silver at the 1996 Summer Olympics in mountain biking, and three World Mountain Bike championships.

For the 220 (yards) Addison drew the inside track which was flooded with puddles and he didn’t make (the time).” During the era, Canada only financed so many athletes (about 100) to attend the Games, though additional athletes who qualified were welcome to pay their own way. “I believe Bill Dale and Joe Addison both had the opportunity to pay their own way to the Olympics, but during the depression, the money wasn’t available,” Unwin said.

The team excelled throughout the decade and finished fifth at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. ■ 1976-1984 Vic West Soccer (Team) The same core Vic West players won four national senior men’s soccer titles from 1976 to 1984, six B.C. championships and six Jackson Cup Island titles.

Hotel Grand Pacific executive sous chef Ian Gaord holds a tray of grilled vegetable bruschetta at the launch of Taste, Victoria’s festival of food and wine. Taste is set for July 25 to 28 at locations throughout Greater Victoria.
Festival gives a taste of Victoria1 Daniel Palmer News staff
Gastronomy can be easy on southern Vancouver Island, but you have to know where to look. Enter Kathy McAree, the culinary expert behind Taste, Victoria’s festival of food and wine. For the past five years, McAree has been bringing together many of the Capital Region’s restaurateurs and food suppliers who have embraced the renaissance of locally sourced food and wine. “I don’t know of many places who have the incredible ability of chefs and farmers and suppliers who work together as well as they do here on south Vancouver Island and in Victoria,” McAree said. “We live in a very special place and that is what Taste is all about.” The culinary festival takes place July 25-28, and features food and wine pairings from the likes of Zambri’s, Bistro 28, Spinnakers, the Oak Bay Beach Hotel and dozens of other restaurants, cheese makers and wineries. On July 26, get a peek behind the scenes at Finest at Sea’s operations and learn how fisherman and owner Bob Fraumeni finds the best seafood in the Pacific Ocean. Other events include a sampling of lesserknown grape varietals like Auxerrois, Siegerrebe and Ortega that flourish in Vancouver Island’s cool climate, and a seminar by Silk Road Tea

experts on the regional characteristics of international tea leaves. Organizers purport the varietals of tea leaves to be as diverse as wine. The Hotel Grand Pacific plays host to the festival’s pinnacle event, Swine and the Vine (July 27), when a full fire-roasted suckling pig will be served alongside unique pork dishes like pork tongue terrine, Swedish potato sausages and steamed barbecue pork buns. “Everything has a story,” McAree said. “In telling that story, we’re promoting everything that’s happening in our backyard.” For details and tickets, visit victoriataste.com. dpalmer@vicnews.com

NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said. BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter Or go online to installations have been delayed due to customer view the flyer at request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, or shop at Sears.ca despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call. Bennett said mechanical meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it transmits or not. “When somebody’s analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca ALL* ® LEE , ® POINT ZERO , PROJEK &® UNLISTED MEN'S SHORTS

looks like a target often at the location of the bite. If you’re bitten by a tick, the best way to remove it is with tweezers, Hoyano said. The goal is to remove the whole tick without breaking off the buried head, so it’s important to pull the tick from a point as close to the skin as possible. The old idea of using heat to remove a tick, from a match or lit cigarette, is not the best way, she said, because the head may remain. “It’s better to try to remove it with tweezers or go in to see your doctor if you can’t get it out.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

The most common symptoms are fever, chills, headache, joint pain and swollen lymph glands. L TIONAmost The obvious sign is a NA “bullseye rash,” a red rash which

ity recommends covering up with light-coloured clothing when walking through areas of tall grass, brush or woods, even tucking a long-sleeve shirt into pants, and tucking pants into shoes or socks. Sticking to cleared trails is another tactic, as is applying insect repellent with DEET. It’s also a good idea to check yourself and your clothing for the little bloodsuckers after a walk. Regularly checking pets for ticks is also important. While rare, ticks can carry lyme disease, an infectious disease caused by bacteria. In B.C. there are about 18 cases of lyme disease diagnosed annually, while the 1

Ticks can’t jump, but they will wait on grasses and bushes for an animal to brush by, at which point they will grab on and bite in. To help avoid bites, the author-
