Assaults on bus drivers on the rise Pamela Roth Victoria News
Ben Williams is frustrated and angry. Ever since he heard about the latest attack on a bus driver in Victoria last week, the president of Unifor Local 333 (the union representing bus drivers) has been trying to wrap his head around the incident, and why attacks on bus drivers are on the rise. The latest attack unfolded around 1:30 p.m. last Friday when a male passenger asked to get off at a decommissioned bus stop at Kings Road and Douglas Street. According to police, the driver told the passenger he would have to get off at the next stop. In response, the passenger attacked the driver while the bus was in motion. The driver managed to pull the bus over at the intersection of Douglas and Bay streets, but the attack continued as other passengers got off the bus. The suspect eventually fled the scene when the driver got off the bus. He was quickly located and arrested by police, and now faces charges of assault causing bodily harm.
Williams has yet to speak to the driver, who was left with lacerations on his face and bruising on his sides. A driver himself, Williams called the incident completely unacceptable. “The operators out there are just trying to carry out the course of their duties. People should be able to go to work without fear of being assaulted,” said Williams. “There’s definitely a heightened concern that the smallest little thing seems to set people off.” When Williams began his career 16 years ago, there was maybe one to six reports a year of drivers being spit on by unruly passengers. Now, he said it’s not uncommon to have drivers spat on three or four times during a weekend. Verbal altercations are also now happening on a daily basis, and Williams isn’t sure why. “People wouldn’t walk into a bank and if they don’t like what they hear, they spit into a teller’s face,” he said. “I’m not sure why they feel that way about a transit operator.” So far this year, B.C. Transit has recorded

Nestled in a home adjacent to both Victoria and Oak Bay, NDP MP candidate (incumbent) Murray Rankin, holds a certain fondness for the group that was once called the Western Canada Wilderness Committee. “Linda and I met at one of the early meetings of what’s now the wilderness committee … she was a student and government worker and I was a new law professor at UVic,” he says of his wife Linda Hannah. Rankin was integral Murray Rankin in those early years, joining the board and founding the organization. But more importantly, he met and married Linda and had sons Ben, now an economist in Ottawa, and Mark, who recently moved back to Victoria for work. The family lived in Fairfield for 24 years before downsizing to another home adjacent to Oak Bay. With his sons hitting a certain age, and rapidly gaining independence, Rankin was looking for a change already when Victoria’s NDP MP Denise Savoie resigned her post in August 2012. “I thought ‘This is not a government that should last. It’s not consistent with my values or the values of the people of Victoria’.” He hit the campaign trail, primarily by bike, and with thoughts of his 28 and 25 year old sons. “I see amongst their generation so much dissatisfaction and cynicism of the democratic process. … They don’t have the kind of steady employment I have and so many of my generation have,” Rankin says. “I just really feel we’re leaving this generation with the largest ecological, social and economic debt in history.” “I just had to step up and say I’m not going to let this happen if I can make a difference.” Murray draws on his decades of legal expertise and political acumen, despite little previous experience as a politician. “If people want a career politician they shouldn’t look to me. … I had the experience of running the law firm, but I’d never run for office before,” he says. “Some people think it’s a virtue to not be a career politician … We need people in the House of Commons from all walks of life, I think.”
Why are you running in the federal election? That’s a question Green Party candidate Jo-Ann Roberts has been asked a lot during her quest to become the next MP for Victoria. A veteran journalist for 37 years who is best known as the host of the arts and current affairs program All Points West on CBC Radio One in Victoria, Roberts left her job to speak out about the government’s current vision for Canada. Jo-Ann Roberts “It was not my vision. I felt that in this election I had to be free to do something more active than what I was able to do with the CBC,” said Roberts, who initially planned on leaving her job to be an advocate. “It became pretty obvious that one of the best ways to be part of the discussion is to run as a candidate. When I read vision Green, it felt like it fit with my values.” According to Roberts, Victoria is a unique and green city that wants a member of parliament that can bring that vision and experience to the rest of the country. What she’s noticed from going door-todoor is people are somewhat living in fear about the possibility of having another Conservative majority. “They are trying to figure out the best way to stop that,” said Roberts, who believes she can speak strongly on social issues, climate issues, and crown corporations like CBC and Canada Post. “We’re doing a lot of things really well here. We understand how to take on the issue of climate change better than any parts of the country. That’s something we can share with the rest of Canada.” Roberts first began working for the CBC in 1976, starting her career on the East Coast. She entered journalism to inform listeners and affect positive change for Canada, and is the recipient of numerous journalism awards. Roberts is married to Ken Kelly, an urban planner who is the general manager of the Downtown Victoria Business Association. The pair have four adult children, Christoper, Claire, Alyson and Meghan, and are expecting their first grandchild in April.
John Rizzuti wants to turn Victoria into a vibrant community supported by quality jobs, growing economy and safe communities. The Conservative candidate, running in the Victoria riding, is a retired school principal and business owner who has lived in Victoria for the last 47 years with his wife Marilynne, three children and six grandchildren. “For me, it’s time to give back to the community and serve it some more,” Rizzuti said. “I care about John Rizzuti Victoria. I want to make sure it gets the best it can and I want it to continue to be a vibrant city for all of us and anyone who wants to visit or settle here in the future.” Rizzuti, 66, has worked in seven schools throughout the Victoria region during his more than 30-year-career. He started as a principal in 1983 and retired from Wishart Elementary in the Sooke School District in 2005. He also served as the president of the B.C. Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association and on municipal, private company and volunteer boards. He has a masters in education from the University of Victoria. If elected, Rizzuti said he hopes to sustain a strong economy, keep streets and communities safe, while also balancing economic and environmental responsibilities. He will also advocate for more support for housing. Locally, his focus will be on finding ways to support tourism, the Inner Harbour, transportation, technology, and arts and culture in the city. “Running schools, my job was to make sure that I ran the school in a responsible and fiscally responsible way that promoted the success of families and children and that I kept them safe and secure,” he said. “For me, what I’m doing right now is a much larger scale of that and that’s what inspires me, that’s what motivates me. I have a passion for this city and I want to see us be the best that we can be.” This is Rizzuti’s first campaign for federal office, but ran unsuccessfully to a trustee for the Greater Victoria School District in November. He was acclaimed in early March to represent the conservatives in the federal election.

Cheryl Thomas can honestly say her political roots run deep. Not only was her great-grandmother active in the campaign for women’s right to vote, but her grandfather had the distinction of running against Tommy Douglas early in his career. Today, Thomas brings a long history of community and political involvement to her position as a Liberal candidate in the Victoria riding. Cheryl Thomas “I’ve always been involved behind the scenes and I’ve run both provincial and federal campaigns, so I understand the chaos of an election,” she says. Passionate about cultivating leadership and collaboration, Thomas is an educator of leadership and teamwork, both here at home at the University of Victoria and previously at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, in addition to Royal Roads University and Camosun College. With her children grown and having returned from eight years teaching overseas, the time was right for her to run as a candidate herself, she says. “While abroad, I saw Canada’s image eroding considerably ... I have five-yearold and nine-year-old grandsons and this is not the world I want them to grow up in,” Thomas says. Born in Saskatchewan and raised on a farm in Stettler, Alta., where her father was a veterinarian, the message growing up was one of building society and community. “That’s part of who I am,” she says. “I guess I’m an idealist; I keep thinking we have to do better than we have.” After moving to Greater Victoria in 1990, Thomas was a leader in the Parent Advisory Councils at Willows Elementary and Oak Bay High. She served on Victoria’s Film Commission for six years and currently serves on the boards of the Victoria Harbourside Rotary Club and the Oak Bay United Church. Key issues this election include the environment, housing and infrastructure, and Thomas would like to see the federal government more those 2015Walk-433x3-Ad-BlackPress-Victoria.pdf involved 1 24/08/2015in 1:38:50 PM issues, but in a way that makes sense to local jurisdictions.

Councillor wants public to know more about amalgamation Pamela Roth Victoria News
An Esquimalt councillor is hoping an upcoming public forum will give the public a fair chance to understand what amalgamating with 13 municipalities in the Greater Victoria area would truly mean. “I believe the
public hasn’t had fair and equitable access to opposing the view,” said Beth Burton-Krahn, one of the organizers of the Rethinking Amalgamation forum at Camosun College next week. “The average person on the street will have a much better understanding of
“I believe the public hasn’t had fair and equitable access to opposing the view.” - Beth Burton-Krahn
what amalgamation really means, what the research shows, what the stories are from other regions, but also more importantly a much better understanding of our current system.”
The issue of amalgamating the region’s 13 municipalities has been ongoing for a number of years. Greater Victoria has a population of approximately
335,000 people, and the region is governed by 91 councillors and mayors. During last November’s municipal election, Victoria, Esquimalt and six other municipalities
had questions on the ballot about reducing the number of municipalities in Greater Victoria through amalgamation. In Victoria and Esquimalt, the referendums passed with overwhelming support. Region-wide, about 75 per cent of people voted in

favour, but BurtonKrahn noted that the municipalities were scattered with their questioning — only Victoria and Langford asked citizens directly if they were interested in amalgamating. In Esquimalt, residents were asked if they were interested in having a study done on amalgamation and looking at options for better service alignment. If there had been an opposing view on the ballot, Burton-Krahn believes the results could have been much different. “Certainly on the street people would have their opinions, so they have done their reading or research, but there was never any kind of opposition movement. It was probably because the gist was that this was driving towards a study. It wasn’t a binding question,” said Burton-Krahn, who’s opposed to amalgamation. “It’s because of the loss of representative democracy. Let’s talk service delivery, let’s get our focus on doing better regionally and inter municipally.” The public forum takes place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Lansdowne Campus. Guest speakers include University of Victoria Professor Dr. Robert Bish and Johnny Carline, former chief administrative officer of Metro Vancouver. editor@vicnews.com

Superheroes invade Victoria Kendra Wong Victoria News
Mark Ashfield isn’t ashamed to admit he’s a massive dork. “I’m big into superheroes. They got me through when I was growing up and I was in a children’s hospital on the east coast,” said Ashfield, a Fernwood resident. He was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, which means a lot of time spent with massive migraines in the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. “I was in constant pain as a child. There was really no relief for it — they tried everything from medication to drugs, different kinds of therapy,” he said. “Superheroes were kind of my escape. Very early on my grandfather, my hero, starting bringing me superhero novels because he knew I liked comic books. He used to think you’ve got an amazing imagination. There are the words, paint the picture.” Ashfield attributes his creativity and the beginning of Superheroes of Victoria to that. Superheroes of
Victoria is a local volunteer group that dresses up as superheroes to help raise money and awareness of charitable organizations such as the B.C. Children’s Hospital. Their mandate is to provide volunteers for any charity that needs them. They’ve made appearances with the MS society, kids baseball clubs and Five Hole for Food, attending roughly four to five events a month. “We also want to help run games, set things up, tear down, anything they need us to do, that’s what we’re there for,” said Ashfield, adding everyone has the superpower to help people. “So a kid gets to meet Batman, but they also see Batman helping out. We’re trying to teach kids about community and helping others.” On Sunday, Sept. 13, Victoria residents have the opportunity to get their photo taken with more than 50 of their favourite superheroes as part of the sixth annual photo shoot fundraiser. “You can be a superhero every single day and a lot

OUR VIEW
Attacks on bus drivers pathetic What’s with the losers attacking city bus drivers in the Greater Victoria area? It was surprising to hear that a bus driver was attacked last week after he told a passenger they could no longer get off at a decommissioned stop at Kings Road and Douglas Street. It was even more surprising to hear that attacks on bus drivers are on the rise. In the latest incident, the passenger proceeded to beat the driver while the bus was moving. The attack continued even when the driver managed to pull the bus over at the intersection of Douglas and Bay streets. What’s even more sad is that passengers got off while the attack continued. Why didn’t anyone intervene? The attack eventually stopped once the driver got off the bus and the suspect fled the scene. He was quickly picked up by police and now faces charges of assault causing bodily harm. Thank goodness he’s still not on the prowl. Who knows what other crimes someone with a temper like this are capable of committing. This driver was simply doing his job. He didn’t wake up that morning expecting to be attacked for informing a passenger about a decommissioned bus stop. What’s even scarier is this happened in the middle of the day. We don’t lash out at bank tellers or cab drivers when they inform us about minor inconveniences we don’t necessarily want to hear, so what gives someone the right to hit a bus driver? The fact that assaults – whether it be verbal or physical – on bus drivers is on the rise is alarming. It’s a sad day when protective barriers have to be installed on city buses so drivers can come home unharmed at the end of a work day.

Readers respond: Green party signs, students and politicians Green Party signs show disrespect for environment I take exception to the Green Party placing hundreds of signs on public property in the Victoria area. Victoria and other island municipalities need regulations and fines for such activity, as exist in the City of Vancouver. Political signs belong only on private property as an indication of individual or business support for a particular candidate. From arriving on the ferry to taking visitors on a tour of Dallas Road, the area is littered and defaced with Green Party signs on public property. As a member of the public who owns this property, I believe it shows disrespect for our environment. I am not impressed by Green Party hypocrisy.

Welcome back students! Welcome back for another school year! I hope that all of you: students, teachers, support staff, administrators, specialists and the board office staff enjoyed your summer and are rejuvenated for the 2015/16 school year. I am extremely proud of the work that all of you accomplish within our district. I want to personally welcome the Superintendent of Education, Piet Langstraat to the Greater Victoria
School District. He comes to SD61 with an incredible amount of experience and an ambition to provide students with the best possible education. Over the past 31 years, Piet has been a teacher, principal, coordinator, deputy superintendent and superintendent of education. I am eager to get to know Piet and I hope that you are as well. Have a super great 2015/16 school year and I look forward to seeing you throughout the school year. Please plan on attending a committee meeting on the first and second Monday or a board meeting on the third Monday of every month. I wish all of you an enriched educational experience this school year! Edith Loring-Kuhanga Chair, Greater Victoria School Board
Ducking debates doesn’t do Re: With more time, will more voters care? (B.C. Views, Aug. 19). NDP leader Thomas Mulcair will not attend a debate Oct. 8, because Stephen Harper will not be there. What are you, children in a daycare centre? You are asking me for a job. If I went in for a job interview and told the interviewer that I would only participate under certain circumstances, would I get hired? No. We need to hear every word you can say to make an informed decision. We need to hear the truth of your life. I

Trudeau’s pledge sounds familiar If Justin’s Trudeau’s pledge to fix up our economy by fixing up roads and bridges that are supposedly in state of disrepair sounds familiar, it should. It sounds familiar for those of us who remember another election 22 years ago and a Liberal Leader named Jean Chretien. The numbers showed most Canadians felt it was time to replace our Conservative government. Chretien won a liberal majority 22 years ago on jobs jobs jobs and he was going to spend a bonanza fixing roads. Is history gonna repeat itself? Is Mr. Trudeau counting on us to be oblivious that most roads and bridges fall under provincial jurisdiction? Andre Mollon Langford

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More... W. Gifford-Jones, MD
V
itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.
The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety. In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.
Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals. Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

The start of a new school year signals many things for thousands of children around Greater Victoria: back to daily routines, homework, reconnecting with friends again — and the less desirable, lice. According to Priti Bhathella, a pharmacist at Elements Compounding Pharmacy, she sees the most cases of lice are at the beginning of summer and the start of the school year. Lice are tiny insects that live on the human scalp and feed on human blood. There are three life cycles of head lice: they start as a nit in the egg stage, in eight or nine days emerge as nymphs and
will grow into adults with an average lifespan of 30 days. Now is the time of year to watch out for those infestations. Bhathella says even though lice is prevalent among all age groups, it’s most commonly found in kids three to 12 years of age. But there are a few common misconceptions about lice that Bhathella hopes to clear up. 1. Lice jump from person to person. Lice only spread by headto-head contact and sharing personal items such as hair brushes, towels or hats. “They crawl fast, but don’t jump. You have to have direct head-to-head or hairto-hair contact.” 2. It is an indication of poor hygiene. “Head lice are found everywhere, it’s not an indicator of poor hygiene because they can bind to both clean and dirty hair,”
said Bhathella. 3. Lice infestations occur in people from lowerincome families. “A lot of people are embarrassed, they’re whispering and I always tell them it has nothing to do with hygiene, it’s a condition that you treat just like anything else,” she says. If there is a lice infestation at school, Bhathella says it’s important not to panic and rush into treatment before being properly diagnosed by a doctor. “[Doctors] are going to know what they’re looking for and what guidelines to follow before we treat,” she says. “If a school says there’s a lice infestation, parents may jump to conclusions and think they need to treat. But make sure you have an active case before you treat.” PLEASE SEE: Page A13

She notes there are many different conditions such as dandruff that have similar symptoms as lice. Once diagnosed, the next step is treatment, which can usually be achieved through special shampoos. “One of the biggest hurdles is older treatments such as insecticide products. They attach to the nervous system of the lice and
hopes
that’s how they kill them. But we’re seeing more and more resistance to those products,” Bhathella says. “Now we’ve come up with newer products: some work on lung function and dehydration of the lice. Even though they’ve been on the market, they used to be effective back in the day, but there’s been a mutation in the lice, that’s why we have to come up with new products that

common
are more effective.” Ultimately, it comes down to preventing head-to-head contact and the sharing of items with someone who may have lice. “People feel they have to shave their head, but you need to think of the impact for a child,” she explains. “You don’t need to go that route. I think the key is talk to a health care professional so we can have successful treatments.”

Lee Vassiliadis didn’t have a normal childhood. At the age of nine,
bus tables and wash dishes. “I call it home because it was like a second home,” Vassiliadis said. “For me, it was to help the fam-
ily out. We didn’t have much. We saw our parents working hard so we got thrown into it, but I really enjoyed it. It wasn’t an average childhood.”
Vassiliadis, his older brother Terry and parents, Evgeni (Eugene) and Paschalina (Lina) immigrated to Canada from Greece with two suitcases and a trunk

tanding guard at the corner of Government and Fort streets, the Bard and Banker is the quintessential Victoria meeting place. With a bright, shiny and lively atmosphere, the grand room welcomes guests with a classy, yet relaxed feel. Everyone is welcome at the Bard. They allow families with children until 9pm daily and they host local musicians every day with no cover charge. “The Bard makes for the perfect atmosphere for a date, family dinners and friends gatherings, the Bard has the longest bar in the city and a private room perfect for any function or event. Our event room has hosted wedding receptions, retirement parties, baby showers, hockey nights and of course birthday and anniversary celebrations.” The Bard and Banker is one of the only downtown venues that can hold an event for 100 people or more with full cocktail style canapés service, or dinner off the menu. They use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible and everything on their menu is made in-house . This social hub also recently launched
a new menu. “We now offer rotisserie chicken dinners for one or two people at a great value,”. The Bard happy hour is every day from 3 to 6pm with classic double cocktails for only $6 and 25 per cent off our wine list by the bottle every Thursday.” Daily happy hour is Robert Service ale $5.50 and BC wines starting at $6.00 per glass. If you’re a connoisseur of scotch, the longest bar in the city has a seat for you with more than 50 varieties of whisky (winning best scotch list in the city) and a fantastic craft cocktail menu as well. Voted Best Pub in the city two years in a row, the Bard and Banker also won the Best for Scotch award this year and last and is highly recommended by Trip Advisor. Check out their new website at bardandbanker.com, follow @BardandBanker on Twitter and Instagram and follow them on Facebook for giveaways – or better still, stop by 1022 Government St. and celebrate Victoria’s pioneering roots and original culture with your new friends at the Bard and Banker.

“My dad and mom’s dream, when we came here, was to open up a souvlaki place.” — Lee Vassiliadis
in 1974. His father’s brother lived in Victoria. “My dad and mom’s dream, when we came here, was to open up a souvlaki place. Back in the late ‘70s, early ‘80s, there wasn’t anything in Victoria,” he said. After working in several local restaurants for the next few years to learn the language and tricks of the trade (and taking out a second mortgage on the family townhouse), Eugene opened a souvlaki restaurant with homemade spanakopita, hummus, gyro and tzatziki recipes. On November 24, 1979, Eugene’s officially opened on Fort Street. At one point, the business had expanded to include three Eugene’s restaurants around the Island. Though they have since closed the restaurants, they continue to sell their comfort food using the original recipe from 36 years ago to grocery stores around the Island
through Eugene’s Wholesale Greek Food. Vassiliadis, who knows the ins and outs of cleaning, prepping and cooking, no longer scrubs dishes and tables, but instead has taken over the business from his parents when they retired. Now, his brother Terry and his partner are expanding the businesses again and opening the Village Taverna that will sell food using the same recipes, among other things. “It was time for me to step out on my own from the family partnership that allowed me to have a little more creativity and start fresh,” Terry said. “When we started, we knew it was a good product that we were putting out there.

As part of B.C.’s first annual KidSport Week, the Victoria Golf Club is hosting the Men’s Links to Change on Saturday (Sept. 12). “We are truly grateful to the Victoria Golf Club for hosting this men’s tournament to benefit children in need, at such an exciting time for KidSport,” said Patti Hunter, general manager of KidSport Victoria. “Every $400 raised will fund a child, who otherwise couldn’t be on the field of play, into a season of sport.” Last year, the tournament raised more than $25,000 for the organization — enough to send 100 children into organized sports for the year. Tournament registration is $185, which includes golf, contests, food and beverage on course, dinner/reception following the tournament, prizes and a tax receipt. Registration and lunch begins at noon and tee off is at 1:30 p.m. KidSport Greater Victoria was formed in 2000 and provides grants for sport registration fees for children from low-income families.

Saanich Heritage Registry
False information scaring owners away Travis Paterson Victoria News
Victoria currently has the highest number of heritagedesignated homes in the region, leaving Saanich’s planning department wondering if misconceptions are leading potential homeowners away from the process. To date, there are 86 buildings protected under the heritage designation in Saanich, mostly homes dating from 1859 to the 1960s. “The rumour is you can’t do anything with your home or building once it’s designated and that’s not true,” said Jane Evans of Saanich Planning. In Victoria, there are more than 900 properties on the city’s heri-

Another area of challenge is the insurance industry, as not all companies are willing to insure heritage buildings. Evans has also read incorrect statement’s from insurance companies about the repair for heritage buildings. “[Some insurers] say they don’t insure heritage homes because if something
tage registry. In 1983, the city established the Victoria Heritage Foundation (VHF) to administer grants for owners of designated heritage houses. By encouraging homeowners, the city has seen a dramatic increase in the number of homes protected by heritage designation, from 142 to more than 400 in the last 26 years. Earning a heritage designation means the building is permanently protected by city bylaws. Evans said the best form of protection is to make sure the building is used and occupied, even if it needs to be enlarged with an addition, which has to be done with approval. “The heritage foundation works with owners to make sure the character value of the building isn’t changed but we understand there must be room for alteration.

Cougars’ Ciurro ready to hit the ice Don Denton Victoria News
Arizona athlete Anthony Ciurro has returned for his second season stopping pucks for the Victoria Cougars after a summer of keeping in shape with roller hockey. Ciurro grew up playing roller hockey and it’s his way of staying in top hockey form during the off-season. The native of Peoria, Arizona, about 20 minutes outside Phoenix, is happy to be back in Victoria and playing for the Cougars. Ciurro started his Canadian hockey career last year with the Campbell River Storm, but played only one pre-season game in the north island city before being traded to Victoria. He couldn’t be happier living and playing hockey in Victoria. “(It’s been) unbelievable, the best experience of my life,” said Ciurro. “The team is really prestigious and is a great organization to
play for.” Ciurro said his goal this year is simple: to win games, and he’s excited to have the Cyclone Taylor Cup here. Ciurro is reserving judgement on who the team’s top competition will turn out to be until they’ve played some regular season games, but figures the Campbell River Storm will be a top team again this year. It can be lonely playing far from home, but Ciurro’s parents made the trip north once last year to see their son in goal and are planning two trips to Victoria this year. Looking ahead to the start of the 2015-16 season, Ciurro said he was just happy to be back playing with the Cougars again. The Cougars’ next home game is Thursday, Sept. 17 against the Westshore Wolves at the Archie Browning Sports Centre. don.denton@vicnews.com

Sister Celebration planned for Sooke flats this Sunday Sooke News Mirror
MONDAYS
It was 10 years ago when the Irwin family was told daughter Daisy was diagnosed with infant leukemia. She was only 10 weeks old. Daisy made it clear she wasn’t going anywhere without a fight. After three rounds of chemotherapy as well as a bone marrow transplant, her cancer went into remission. “Her statistics were very grim, so we’re very fortunate to have her,” said Patrick Irwin, her father. This September officially marks 10 years of Daisy being cancer-free, which is why the Irwins will hold a party at the Sooke Flats this Sunday (Sept. 13), from noon to 3 p.m. to celebrate that triumph over the disease, with all proceeds going to Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. The public is invited. “We’re calling it Sister Celebration because we’ve got four daughters. We’ve always done something on the anniversary of her bone marrow transplant,” Irwin said.
