The Prince of Dark Aus Ozzy Osbourne, has died. Metal
fans around the world, including some big ones here on
Vancouver Island remember him. Check News starts now, good evening,
Thanks for joining us. Serious allegations are surfacing tonight at
(01:21):
a local MMA gym. Several women have come forward accusing
the gym's owner of inappropriate touching and harassment. The claims
are raising questions about safety in a space meant to
empower and protect. Mary Griffin reports.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
It's one of the top rated gyms for mixed martial
arts and Victoria Zuma martial arts, but a number of
women say they battled inappropriate behavior and harassment from the
gym's owner.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I trained at that gym for about two years. I
had a lot of leering. I had comments about my
sex life. He was suggesting other people at the gym
who I am I should sleep with, some of whom
were married.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
We're protecting the identity of the woman concerned about her safety.
She's asked to be called Jane Don't number one. The
gym opened twenty years ago and quickly found a following.
Jane Don't number one says the inappropriate behavior escalated over
the two years she trained at the gym. She says
one of the most traumatizing moments was when she says
(02:25):
she was pressured to wrestle the gym's owner for.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That minute and a half. I said, no, I don't
want to do this. I don't want to touch you.
And I remember him saying, you're making me feel like
I don't have consent, and I said, you don't.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
She says. She quit the gym that day. She posted
about her experience on Reddit. Since that post, she says
other women have come forward online with similar experiences, including
a woman we're calling Jane Doe number two.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It started with some you know, sexual comments here and there,
comments about my body, and then I was offered like photoshoots,
which I never took because I didn't want to be
alone with him in a situation, and then it progressed
to inappropriate touching while we were training together.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
On Tuesday, Zuma posted on its Instagram account that is
partnering with a PR company, Magenta HR, to conduct a
thorough cultural review and is working to build a safer,
more respectful, and inclusive training environment. Check News reached out
to Zooma's owner, but did not hear back.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
I just felt like there was no apology.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
VICPD confirms one person filed a complete late last week
and it's investigated the allegations.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The man accused of hijacking a Planet of Victoria and
triggering a security scare at Vancouver International Airport last week
is now facing a second charge damaging or interfering with
a navigation system. Her Cashium was arrested after allegedly threatening
a Victoria Flight Club instructor seizing control of a Cessna
(04:07):
than circling the plane over Vancouver's airport before landing and
being arrested by police last Tuesday. The thirty nine year
old former commercial airline pilot is already facing a charge
of hijacking, with police saying he had an ideological motive
to disrupt air space. Both Chargescassium is now facing carry
a maximum sentence of life in prison. He appeared in
(04:28):
Richmond Provincial Court today via video, but the appearance only
lasted a few minutes, with his lawyers saying they need
more time to prepare a bail application. Stataces Canada has
released its Crime Severity Index numbers and many may be
surprised to hear that Victoria has seen a noticeable decrease,
the lowest it has seen since twenty twenty. And while
(04:50):
the overall drop is good, it does come with a
downside and increase in violent crime. Mackenzie Read reports.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
New crime statistics are in for cities across the country,
with this year's number showing some signs of improvement.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
These are really positive things to see.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Statistics Canada release the nation's Crime Severity Index for twenty
twenty four, measuring both the volume and severity of crimes reported.
In that year, Victoria saw an approximate ten percent drop
in its overall crime severity index, bringing Victoria to its
lowest level since twenty twenty. The biggest reason a roughly
seventeen point five percent decrease in non violent crimes.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
It's a positive step that we're going to build on.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
However, the stats also come with a nearly eleven point
five percent increase in violent crime in the Capitol.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
Anytime there is an urban downtown core and you're doing
core city policing, which is how it's commonly referred to,
you're going to see increases in crime. We have an
vibrant entertainment district that leads to more violence and more
unrest in many cases.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
The overall numbers are encouraging for one business.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
These stats prove that things are getting better, but still
a long way ago.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Most Home Victoria has been based in the downtown core
for nearly a decade. The store has noticed a big
shift when it comes to the perception of the area
being unsafe, and there's a few changes they would like
to see more emphasis.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'm helping people really in need and giving them the
options of helping themselves. I think if we can sort
of get at that, it would change a lot of things.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Chief Manik, who is set to retire this summers as
there are a number of plans and programs and the
works to help, including the city's Safety and well Being Plan,
And while the overall crime stats are trending in the
right direction.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
It shows us there's more work to be done. It
shows me that we're doing the right work. It shows
me that our officers are engaged. But it also shows
me that we need to roll up our sleeves, that
we need to continue to be engaged in keeping our
community safe.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Hoping the trend of twenty twenty four is one that
continues in the years to come.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
In James Bay, last night, officers say a pedestrian was
hit by a car at the intersection of Douglas and Michigan.
The pedestrian was sent to hospital with serious injuries. Crash
analysts reconstructing the scenario as part of their investigation caused
the intersection to be closed there for several hours. Well,
if you take the bus during peak times in Victoria,
maybe contending with a warmer ride. BC Transit has a
(07:18):
new policy that will keep buses that suddenly have their
air conditioning break on their roots during peak travel times.
The union says they're shocked at the hot bus development
and are asking passengers not to direct their frustration who
will be suffering in the same heat, to the driver.
As BC Transit says this was the balance it needed
to strike between the onboard experience and the need to
(07:39):
maintain service reliability. The ground's crew at the Alberni Valley
Golf Club is on strike. Picket lines were set up
early yesterday morning. The employers filed to join SEIU Local
two in November twenty twenty four, and the parties have
been working to reach an agreement ever since. A representative
from the union says there have been multip sticking points
(08:00):
for the two parties since the discussions began, the most
significant being golf and food privileges, wages and benefits. The
union says the company has said they will not bargain
with the union as long as they are on strike.
The company issued a statement saying it's disappointed that the
grounds crew elected to go on strike, that the course
remains open for play, and that it is inviting members
(08:21):
to a town hall to hear from the company. That
meeting is tonight at the Cherry Creek Hall at seven pm.
Social media feeds lit up this morning with the news
that Ozzy Osbourne had passed away. The seventy six year
old had been suffering from Parkinson's disease, but after hosting
a farewell concert in England just two weeks ago, his
(08:42):
death still came as a shock. Ozzie did play Victoria
twice and as Jordan Cunningham shows us today, the tributes
came in loud.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
If you're into music the heavy kind this morning, you
probably got the same text does the rest of the
metal heads. My friend texted me like I'll tend this morning.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
I got a text from a friend of mine and
just said Ozzie was dead.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
It depends on how you look at it, but this
morning the music world got a little less dark, or
maybe a little darker when we found out Ozzy Osbourne
had passed away at the age of seventy six.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
The crazy train has reached its last stop.
Speaker 10 (09:28):
It's a gritty's love affair that I've ever hande in
my life.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Ozzy had an advanced form of Parkinson's disease, among other ailments,
but just two weeks ago, took the stage in England
for one last time to say goodbye, but nobody knew
at the time it was his final goodbye.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I was surprised, but at the same time, it's kind
of one of those things that you saw coming to today.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
At the Turntable and fantan Alley in downtown Victoria, they
dropped the needle on the hardest, heaviest hits the world
had ever seen. Ozzy's band, Black Sabbath, brought black masses
to the masses, and if you listen to them religiously,
Ozzie made it feel kind of good to be kind
of bad. It kind of sounds like pure evil sometimes.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
I think that was part of the plan.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
Sean manages the shop and Ozzy records still sell like crazy,
fairly crankable music now.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, turn up loud.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Ozzy was no stranger to Vancouver Island. He played Memorial
Arena in the Blizzard of Oz tour in nineteen eighty one,
then he packed him in again in twenty ten at
Save on Foods Memorial Center. If you saw him, you
were lucky.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Did you ever see him live?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I wish, Dave did.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
I've seen him twice, including this show from this poster.
Do you remember how much tickets were? I have no idea,
but I would guess eight bucks, twelve dollars, twelve dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Dave does the sound for Victoria Harbercats games, and on
the most beautiful night of the summer, the Saturday before last,
he put on what you could consider the last Island
show of Ozzy Osbourne's career.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
I didn't ask for mission.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I just made it.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
He lit up the night sky with the Prince of
Darkness for the team's fireworks night. The crowd couldn't get enough.
There's a game tonight and we can't predict the musical score.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Will there be ausie? There will be lots of buzzy.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
And if you enjoy a little ausy tonight, maybe alert
the neighbors first play.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
It loud.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
On checkpoint tonight. We're asking if you are an Ozzy
Osbourne fan, you can vote at Checknews dot Ca and
we'll have results a little later in the newscast. All right,
it is upside time, and guys, you know, whether you
loved Ozzy Osbourne or not, you cannot deny that he
changed the face of metal music. And music in general.
(11:46):
So lots of great tributes pouring in and uh, really
great to see some of that old footage too. I
know you guys know him well.
Speaker 10 (11:54):
Well, and you know what, I'm just so glad that
he got his last moment weeks ago. Yeah, it's kind
of like he just sort of mustered up everything he
had to be a part of that show. And it
was huge. It was the largest charity fundraising concert of
all time and it was terrific and everybody came out
and played for free, and the respect for him was
more than a parent. So he got that at least
(12:14):
at the tail end.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
Yeah, so many Sabbath fans out there. You and I
were talking about it when you were getting into radio.
He said, you know, if you played that in the
morning show, yeah you get fired.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
If you light a black Sabbath track at then the
morning show, he'd be out the door. That stuff was
for after nine pm or maybe even after eleven pm
or only too heavy. All right, Well here we are
Rise and Shine.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Yeah, what a.
Speaker 11 (12:34):
Great new distillery tasting room and yumminess here on Millstream
Road in Langford. They've only been opened seven weeks, but.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Yeah, they got to dialed in already, do they ever?
I mean, anytime you're serving up the strawberry slushy. This
is the strawberry Shine Moonshot slushy. You're doing something right.
Here's the moonshine right here. Let you love that name.

how are they there?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
They are? Yeah, okay, good, they said. Ever since they've
been drinking, and they've been talking nonsense all night. So
it's obviously hits our stuff.
Speaker 11 (13:49):
But they've got the secuterie, they've got snacks here, they've
been distilling rate on site. So we're gonna talk to
the owner, Kelly and his wife Alicia, and it's it's
a new spot. It's a new hotspot of your life?

here at Rise and Shine, Yes in Langford.

I think.

as I can so I could further myself, because I
do want to become a part of the Coastguard one day.

great to see some of that old footage too. I
know you guys know him well.
Speaker 10 (11:54):
Well, and you know what, I'm just so glad that
he got his last moment weeks ago. Yeah, it's kind
of like he just sort of mustered up everything he
had to be a part of that show. And it
was huge. It was the largest charity fundraising concert of
all time and it was terrific and everybody came out
and played for free, and the respect for him was
more than a parent. So he got that at least
(12:14):
at the tail end.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
Yeah, so many Sabbath fans out there. You and I
were talking about it when you were getting into radio.
He said, you know, if you played that in the
morning show, yeah you get fired.

morning show, he'd be out the door. That stuff was
for after nine pm or maybe even after eleven pm
or only too heavy. All right, Well here we are
