GREEK RESTAURANT & SNACK BAR Since 1979
LAMB SOUVLAKI IS BACK! About Eugene’s
Take Eugene’s camping or a nice BBQ with friends and family... our Tzatziki & Homous are a tasty treat that goes with anything or pick up our pita bread and make your own souvlaki!
In the alleyway behind the Royal Bank on Douglas and Fort Street, Victoria’s residents of the 80’s learned that Souvlaki and Spanakopita could be addictive, and they loved it. The delicious Greek specialties were created by the Vassiliadis family then… and still are today. The founder of Eugene’s Greek Restaurant, Evgeni (Eugene) Vassiliadis arrived in Victoria from his home in the bustling city of Piraeus (port of Athens) with wife Paschalina (Lina) and two young sons, Elefterios (Terry) and Pantelis (Lee) in November 1974. Only nine-year old Terry understood English and was able to help other family members to settle in. From the very beginning Eugene had a vision to open a traditional Greek Souvlaki Snack Bar in Victoria. However, having arrived in Victoria with only 2 suitcases and a trunk, Eugene began working as a brick-layer, his trade in Greece, in order to support his young family. To supplement the family’s income, Eugene began working in local Greek restaurants by night and took what construction jobs he could during the day. He quickly became head chef of a local Greek Restaurant and soon Lina—an excellent cook herself—joined him. They worked side-by-side until Eugene got a great

job offer in Edmonton and for a year he worked there, returning to see the family only once a month. Eventually, the family decided Victoria was the place for them. Lina, encouraging Eugene to open a souvlaki snack bar, found their first location in the alleyway of the Royal Bank on Douglas and Fort Street. They opened their doors November 24, 1979. Victorians slowly came to know how wonderful Greek souvlaki could be. With lines getting longer and longer, a second Eugene’s opened in May 1986 at 1280 Broad Street. Today, Terry and partner Pam own and operate the Fort & Foul bay location and Terry’s boys (Evan and Alex), can sometimes be seen carrying on the family tradition making souvlaki. Lee owns and operates Eugene’s warehouse and concentrates his energy on food production and wholesale sales. Lee’s wife Kelly and 6yr old son Evgeni also spend time at the warehouse learning the ins and outs of producing the best Greek food in Victoria. Eugene and Lina oversee from the background while enjoying their retirement, and customers of Victoria continue to enjoy the same wonderful home-made recipes that Eugene and Lina first served in 1979.

Farmland review creates two zones
vicnews.com Vision Matters
Value-added ALR activities being considered across B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA — The Agricultural Land Reserve is being divided into two zones, with regulations to come to allow non-farm home-based businesses outside the southwest regions of high productivity. The changes affect three of the six regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission, for the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. Details will be worked out in consultation with industry and placed in regulations, said Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the government’s core review of programs. Non-farm uses will not be considered in the Island, South Coast and Okanagan regions, but “value added” activities such as food processing on farmland are being considered across the province, Bennett said. Bennett and Steve Thomson, acting agriculture minister, reiterated their assurances that the ALC will continue to operate independently. Commissioners
are appointed by cabinet, two or three per region, and decisions can be appealed to the regional chairs who act as an executive. Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington called the Interior zone change “deceitful and a betrayal of the public trust,” and accused the government of removing its obligation to consult with the ALC chair on new panel appointments. NDP agriculture critic Nicolas Simons was forced by the speaker to withdraw the term “deceitful” from his remarks in the legislature, as he accused Bennett of keeping the changes secret until after last year’s election. “The fundamental principle is that the reserve was set up for the entire province, not for zones here and zones there,” Simons said. Bennett said the only change to the Interior zones is the addition of “social and economic” factors in considering permitted uses. He gave the example from his Kootenay constituency of a market garden operator who
was refused permission to build a second home on an unproductive part of the property so the next generation could take over the business. Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Agricultural Council and operator of Driediger Farms in Langley, said she is looking forward to the changes that will allow development of new revenue. “The ALC is old and it hasn’t been updated in a long time,” Driediger said. “On a day-to-day basis it makes it very difficult in farming, especially when you’re looking to be progressive.” Faye Street, general manager of Kootenay Livestock Association, congratulated the ministers “for having the three Bs in the male anatomy to get this done — starting at the brain, backbone and work your way down.” Street said young farmers are not entering the industry under the current conditions, and allowing them supplementary income will help maintain the farmers. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
Who will pick up the ball?
I
t’s an election year in municipal politics and community leaders will do one of two things: assert themselves on issues of importance to our communities, or hunker down and ride their records to the polls. The official election period doesn’t really start until after Labour Day but already folks are pondering whether they want to run for office for the first time or run again in November. And there is no shortage of issues on the Saanich Peninsula. Those include affordable housing and agriculture, to the economy and cost of living. These are the main umbrella issues in the community. How local politicians address them leading up to November will set the stage for the next four years. For Sidney, the well-being of its downtown business area has become a main focal point as new commercial developments loom on the outskirts of town. Business owners are going to want to know what the Town plans to do to help as groups like the Sidney Business Improvement Association and Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce team up to try to improve their lot. Recent presentations by retail consultant Richard Talbot have raised serious concerns about the impact of these developments on downtown Sidney and he is calling on the mayor’s office to act — to bring about a more competitive Sidney. Unfortunately, Mayor Larry Cross has focused on Talbot’s poor attempt at humour [his comments that body parts be used to stop any construction at the big commercial sites], rather than on his message, and has lobbed the ball back into the hands of business. Cross has been clear — business owners must take the initiative and the Town has helped pave the way for increased investment through policy. However, anything the business community comes up with to see a change will eventually find its way to the council chamber for approval. It only makes sense for the Town to be on board at the beginning — and knowing how Cross and this council have pushed for a more cohesive representation of local businesses, they will be involved in one form or another. This issue has legs in Sidney and will find its way into the election campaign debates. Talbot is, in all likelihood, correct to say that whoever can pick up this ball will score big come November.

Sidney must lead rather than criticize
M
any are worried the proposed retail developments within a few kilometers of Sidney will draw consumers away. They are right to be worried. We do not have to look very far to see a prime example of this. When two popular tourist draws at Port Sidney moved out, the people went elsewhere. Buildings fell into disrepair and remaining businesses began to suffer. This occurred under present council’s watch and if they allowed it to happen once they
could again. Richard Talbot, an internationally known retail and marketing consultant, is concerned this scenario will be repeated on a much larger scale if the town, once again, sits idly by and does nothing. As a concerned resident he recently stepped up and offered the town free expert advice, encouraging them to act quickly in the face of this looming retail threat. But, instead of appreciating his efforts, the Mayor appears to take this offering as a criticism.
beautifulsmile! smile! aa beautiful
The Mayor’s concern should be more to do with the problem at hand and fostering working relationships with all concerned and less to do with personal sensitivities. Here is an opportunity for the council to demonstrate effective leadership. They must set aside self interests, get off their hands and walk the talk. This council needs to lead our business community into action by demonstrating willingness to work together and the sooner the better. Susan Davey Sidney

agency, there be an independent public enquiry into the financial operations, sources and uses of funds, contractual procedures and expenditures of MMBC. No, Buckerfields is not paying a dime until this cash and power grab is unraveled and revealed for what it is. One final word, 96 per cent of all printed paper and packaging material is already being picked up or deposited into municipally-financed facilities. Despite what MMBC is saying, at least 53 per cent of that is already being recycled and it is very likely that number was seriously understated to give the government a reason for its MMBC cash and power grab. In reality, there is no basis for setting up a recycling dictatorship and charging punitive fees to companies like Buckerfields at all. Recycling is a booming business with rapidly increasing prices of marketable commodities. Could that be why the board of MMBC is all big business and outside the jurisdiction of the Auditor General? We don’t have to change a thing to see recycling take off in B.C., in the hands of our elected municipal officials. We need to send the MMBC regime to the recycle bin.

In finding all this out, I lament the fact that none of this was introduced into the legislature for proper debate because it means that instead of spending my days managing the sale of chicks and garden supplies at Buckerfields, I have to spend my time trying to revive democratic processes in British Columbia retroactively. I find it appalling. My position as of the time of this writing is this — we ain’t paying a dime to MMBC and neither should anyone else, not until: • The provincial government reconciles what it is doing with the municipal governments and municipal taxpayers so that taxpayers don’t have to pay twice. • The provincial government takes back the legislation which calls us producers and blames us for the choices made by manufacturers and indeed consumers that are completely outside of our control. • Any monies charged under the auspices of the Recyling Regulation are included in the Public Accounts of the Province and subject to the provisions of the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act. • Whatever is going to be done is introduced into the Legislative Assembly in the form of a Bill so that the proper public debate can occur. • Insofar as MMBC has not filed its audited financial statements since inception, and the period of time not reported spans more than two years, and insofar as MMBC is actually a taxing and funding

With the Cold Cut Combo’s major inspiration lying in gypsy jazz, flamenco, Parisian musette waltzes, oldtime swing, Latin standards and Eastern European folk music, it’s no surprise that the Combo has a decidedly original feel and fires up their

seven series 4-2 for the Cougars. “I want to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our fans and sponsors, many of you who were in attendance last night at game six,” said Panthers owner Pete Zuberksy on Saturday. “The disappointment for me has already dissipated and in its place I look fondly back at a great season that our entire organization enjoyed. Two and a half years ago when we jumped back into the VIJHL to try and bring the Peninsula Panthers back from the brink of folding, we knew the task was going to be daunting. The sense of accomplishment in playing before a packed rink last night is something that everyone in our organization is very proud of.” The first star of Friday night’s game was given to Cougars’ goalie Nathan Hargrave for the shutout. The second star went to Panther Spencer Loverock and the third to Cougars defenceman John Kretzschmar. With the VIJHL playoff win under their belts, the Victoria Cougars will advance to the Cyclone Taylor Cup in Nelson, B.C. beginning April 10. This is the third consecutive year the Cougars have advanced to the Cyclone Taylor Cup which sees teams from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and the Pacific International Junior Hockey League fight for the title of provincial champions. The last time the Cougars won the Cyclone Taylor Cup was the 2006/07 season. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
