Intensity, unmistakable Peninsula Panthers player Josh Bloomenthal grimaces as he powers down the ice in the Panthers’ 7-2 loss to the Saanich Braves Monday, March 5 at Pearkes arena. Nearly 250 people packed the stands to cheer their respective districts Monday night as south battled north in Game 1 of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League semifinal. The Panthers face the Braves again tonight, March 9 with a 7:30 p.m. game at Panorama Recreation Centre. See the story of two Saaniches – north vs. south – on page A10.
“The worst has already happened” and hostility will not bring his father back, said the son of a man who died after a crash at Victoria International Airport last summer. “Our lives have been flipped upside down. We’re kind of dealing with everything one day at a time,” said Sanjeev Sharma. On July 29, witnesses described a white sedan that sped over a curb from the shortterm parking lot and across the airport entry road. PLEASE SEE: Sharma recalled fondly, page A15
