Downtown takes look at Gateway Victoria Airport Authority outlines early plans to Sidney merchants’ group Steven Heywood News staff

Sidney’s newest business organization wants its members to have an influence over a proposed retail development in town, but will stop short of becoming a full fledged lobby group themselves. Susan Simosko, president of the Sidney Business Improvement Area (SBIA), says as an organization, they want to provide their members the best information available and allow them to make up their own minds about the Sidney Gateway project. The SBIA is not, however, looking to take a lead role for or against the proposed commercial development. “We are not a lobbying organization,” Simosko said. “We are an organization that works for (downtown business owners).” That said, she added the Susan Simosko board of the SBIA knows that the Gateway is on many people’s minds. As they see one of their roles as providing information to their members, the SBIA hosted a meeting Oct. 20 to talk about what’s known about the Gateway right now. The meeting was a follow-on to the SBIA’s membership survey on the Gateway project, completed last month. They invited James Bogusz, vice-president of operations at the Victoria Airport Authority (VAA) and Peter Laughlin of Omicron, hired by VAA to develop 10 acres of land on the west side of town, across from the Mary Winspear Centre.

Remembering the life of Larry Orr Celebration of life Thursday for a man who influenced many Steven Heywood News staff

Larry Orr is being remembered this week, for more than just his volunteer hours and dedication to the hockey community on the Saanich Peninsula. On Thursday, starting at 1 p.m., there will be a celebration of life for Orr, who died earlier this month after an illness. It

takes place at Panorama Recreation Centre’s Arena B, where a memorial banner will be hung in his honour. Jason Fletcher grew up knowing Orr and most recently the pair worked together on winning the Kraft Hockeyville title in North Saanich. Fletcher says Orr was an example he looked to and based his own community work on Orr’s dedication.

“I saw him giving back and I’ve tried to live my life in a similar fashion,” Fletcher said. “He was an example of someone who did the work, and didn’t just talk about it.” Thursday’s celebration will focus on that work ethic. Please see: Orr had big impact, page 2

NEWS REVIEW

Steven Heywood/News staff

Orr had big impact on the Peninsula Continued from page 1

Wayne Ruffle, chair of the Peninsula Recreation Commission and a long time friend of Orr’s, said some of his earliest memories of working with Orr on local projects was at the Rotary Park Field of Dreams baseball diamonds. “Larry was a big part of that,” Ruffle said. “And it was my first time working with him at that time.” It sparked a friendship that lasted up until Orr’s death. Ruffle, too, called the man an example to follow in the community. Fletcher said he got to know who Orr was some 30 years ago when he was 14 and playing in a golf tournament, named in mem-

ory of Orr’s father, John E. Orr. And while Fletcher said Orr will probably be remembered most for his skate sharpening business and presence around the hockey rink, his volunteer work was mostly about children. Fletcher said Orr made sure kids who wanted to play — baseball, hockey, golf or figure skating — had the opportunity to do so, if he could help it. “Larry’s impact, although it’s being highlighted at the end of his life, is broad. He had a big impact on this community.” Thursday will welcome his wife, Sandy and son Derek. Derek will say a few words about his father and other community members will offer their brief remembrances of Orr between

1 and 2 p.m. in the arena. There will also be photos and video of Orr from years past and present. Once the banner is raised, Fletcher said people will be encouraged to move over to Panorama’s tennis facility. There, a memorial wall will be put up for people to leave their stories about Orr. He said it’s a chance for people to share their memories of Orr. He expects this part of the event will start at around 2 p.m. and last until people want to call it a day. Fletcher added he hopes organizers can compile those stories into something they can incorporate into the arena upgrades when Panorama uses the Hockeyville cash prize — to further remember Orr.

Business shines on awards night Chamber’s annual Crystal Awards gala recognizes top employers Steven Heywood News staff

CAMACC Systems Inc. was the only dual award winner on the night as the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce handed out its 2015 Crystal Awards. The Peninsula company was recognized both as employer and business (with 16 or more workers) of the year. The remaining awards all went to different businesses in Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney. Guest speaker William Collins of QuesterTangent in Central Saanich, talked about innovation, by way of two examples from around the world. While seemingly unrelated at first, Collins brought them together with a focus on the Saanich Peninsula. What his two examples of success had in common, was the Peninsula Co-op on Keating X Road. “That’s where Jim King eats

That’s a snapshot of what has made QuesterTangent a success, he added. “That’s an example of the type of innovation that can happen on the Peninsula,” he said. Collins called it the ‘innovation game’ and “it requires courage to go out on a limb ... to be engaged.” “You need to be true and know when it’s time to stop on a dead end and then go follow another rabbit hole,” he

said. “Innovation grows from imagination.” Collins said it behooves community leaders to foster innovation in youth, giving them every opportunity to imagine what could be. “There’s a great future ahead, if we do,” he said. The Chamber recognized one such innovator with its Lifetime Achievement Award, presented this year to Ginny Alger of Horizon Power. She and husband Bob came to the Peninsula in 1981 and created their company in 1991. They specialized in overhead and underground high voltage design and from their Saanichton base, found

Over their careers, the Algers were involved in the community in a variety of ways and are now in the process of retiring. Ginny said, in accepting the honour Oct. 22 at the Blue Poppy Restaurant at Butchart Gardens, that they found success in business here and were happy to support others in the community. The awards gala was a chance for business owners and their employees to enjoy a night out and be recognized for excellence in categories such as green business, new business, entrepreneurial spirit and customer service.

BAYSHORE H om e H e a lt h Bayshore Home Health: Caring in the community and for the community.

Last January, Bayshore Health Care opened a Sidney location of their Home Health division under the direction of Area Manager, Stasia Hartley. Stasia joined Bayshore in 2011 overseeing the Vancouver Island region and from early on she had a vision to open an office to serve the community of the Saanich Peninsula. Bayshore Home Health, believes in taking care of people in the comfort of their home.

Bayshore’s client service model includes RN supervised care aids and all clients having access to an RN case manager. “In the private care world this model is not readily available and with the increasing health care needs of our seniors, I felt this was an important approach to care, that we could bring to the families of the Saanich Peninsula”, says Stasia who grew up in Sidney and lives in Brentwood Bay BC. Sidney’s Dementia- Friendly Initiative

Bayshore doesn’t just take care of people in their community; they also look for ways to provide care for their community. Last fall, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. formally launched the DementiaFriendly Communities initiative to develop a heightened awareness of dementia and reduce

stigma in local communities throughout B.C. When Stasia heard about this initiative, she contacted the Alzheimer Society and reached out to the Town of Sidney and to Sidney All Care Residence to bring this initiative to our seaside town. This November, two events will take place to support this endeavor. The first event, on Thursday November 5th will be a feature showing of the inspiring documentary ‘Alive Inside’, which won the Audience Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. There will be a silent auction with items donated by local businesses along with refreshments and a brief presentation on the Society’s Dementia-Friendly initiative and the work taking place in Sidney. Admission is by donation and all money raised will go to the Alzheimer Society, ensuring that the many programs and resources that they offer will continue to be available to those who have been touched by this disease. A second event taking place on Wednesday, November 18th is for those who are dealing with dementia at home or in their workplace. Participants will learn strategies and gain understanding to better connect with and support people living with dementia. Participation certificates will be provided by the Alzheimer Society of BC. Both events take place at Sidney All Care Residence, 2269 Mills Road with doors opening at 630 PM. If you would like to learn more about this initiative please call Terra Munro of Sidney All Care at 778-351-2505 or email Stasia Hartley at sidney@bayshore.ca.

Wood carver Don Bastian held a tour of his studio as part of the Peninsula Studio Tour on the weekend. The most eye-catching piece he had on display was a wooden Canadian flag, dedicated to Canadian soldier Nathan Cirillo, on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of his death in Ottawa. The wooden flag has a single red teardrop falling from the leaf and Bastian said the flag caught the attention of many tour visitors. On Oct. 22, 2014, Corporal Cirillo was shot at the Canadian National War Memorial on ceremonial sentry duty. It was Bastian’s wife Denise who pushed the idea forward. “I think that event

OUR VIEW

Learning to accept risk

s soldiers stand on guard for Canada, so should we all. Nearly lost in all the post-federal election hubbub was the one-year anniversary of the shooting of Corporal Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa as he stood guard at the National War Memorial, across the street from the House of Commons. It’s not a happy anniversary. It marks a moment in this country where an armed man took a life and nearly did the same inside of our nation’s seat of government. Yet, it’s an anniversary that should be marked in at least a small way and for at least two reasons. The first, of course, is for the young man who was killed. He certainly did not expect to face his own mortality within Canada’s borders — although soldiers know that their very profession puts them in harm’s way. His death was shocking to most Canadians, as this type of incident is not a regular occurrence — compared with the sheer number of mass or single shootings in the United States. That’s the second reason to note the Oct. 22 anniversary. To realize that gun violence is not a major contributor to fear in Canada — and to not let it become so. Violence in general is a part of life in one form or another and it’s best that we do not forget the risks. Society can mitigate them and we can take personal steps to be better people and to not succumb to violence. But we also have to be realistic. We are not going to stop all violent acts. At this point in time, it’s just not possible. If we accept this, and live as well as we can, the amount of violent incidents in Canada can stay relatively low and we do not have to live in fear. If we did that, we’d never want to step outside our homes. Even then, we’d find something else to be scared of. Remember Nathan Cirillo. Incidents like these spur Canadians to improve our lot in life, not seek to escalate violence or retaliation for the things we just cannot control.

nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16. Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

‘Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit.’

Under the current

Readers respond: Adhere to the plan, people Not only are neighbors concerned about the large piece of property at 2248 Ardwell and 10364 Resthaven Dr. Many people in Sidney are unhappy with the way developers are granted variances and properties are being rezoned by our council. There are more than 60 mature Douglas firs and a beautiful Garry oak among this threatened property. The developer will be cutting them all down if they get the OK from council. Did you know that according to Habitat Aquisition Trust, Sidney had, in 2011, the lowest percentage of tree cover of all the 13 CRD municipalities? These new plans mean no trees, very little room for yards, gardens, plants, flowers, etc. The density is too high for this established community. There will be increased traffic in the area and feeding into Resthaven Drive which will soon be the main road into Sidney for a

Increasing density translates into parking problems, traffic congestion, pedestrian and traffic safety, years of ongoing construction and little room for few trees to be planted. The question is: Would you like this to happen in your neighbourhood? Unfortunately the tree preservation bylaw of 2001 allows all trees to be cut once a development permit has been issued. It clearly needs an over-

zoning, 28 units per hectare are allowed; under the proposed high-density zoning, 40 units per hectare are allowed. Keeping the current zoning in character with and appropriate to the neighbourhood and all adjacent ones, translates into less density and less houses with more open space, more green space, room for more trees to be replanted and enough parking spaces.

Tone down the fireworks I grew up with fireworks on the Fourth of July and you’d have to be completely dead to

haul. Affordability and attainability was mentioned over and over in the development proposal. Please go and have a look at seven houses squeezed into a small lot at 2430 Henry Avenue where once two little houses stood. Lowest price point there is $555,000 with lots much smaller than any proposed at 2248 Ardwell Ave. Is that kind of money affordable for low income and start-up

beauty to not appreciate a good fireworks show. But since adopting our dog five years ago, I’ve become increasingly wary of fireworks. Dogs in general are terrified of the noise and dogs traumatized by abuse are especially susceptible. Our dog survived abuse before his rescue. But all it takes is the week before (and sometimes after) Halloween, New Years Day or some other holiday and he’s reduced to trembling in a corner. It takes days to get him over the terror. Short of drugging

him every time these occasions roll around, we don’t have many options. I call on parents and guardians to consider what the fireworks your children are letting off are doing to disrupt the peace for more than just my dog. If you love a dog, you know how much these things frighten them. Please give consideration to the animals. They don’t understand what fireworks are. There are other ways to celebrate than exploding gunpowder. Grant HayterMenzies Sidney

families? Certainly not. Not to mention that the property owner does not seem interested in building houses nor overseeing construction — he just wants to sell off as many lots as possible where anybody could

do whatever they wanted. In summary: less houses equals less parking and traffic problems, less pollution, more trees and green space and ultimately means keeping in character with the

neighbourhood. This is not subdivision Langford, this is our quaint Sidney with style and character. Please keep it that way. Christine Kollofrath Sidney

We knew that our toilet was using water. We didn’t know it was losing water. When we heard that in one year a leaking toilet could waste enough water to fill a swimming pool, we wanted to know if our toilet was water tight. So we picked up a leak detector tablet and did the test. Turns out, our toilet needed a simple tune-up. Now it’s working fine. Pick up your free leak detector tablets at either 479 Island Highway or 625 Fisgard Street. Or simply call 250.474.9684 to receive them in the mail.

NEWS REVIEW

Childhood memories come flooding back in family loss

come to you today with a very heavy heart. My dearly loved brother Herb has died. He and I were such friends all our lives, from the time we were

kids and walked to school together and home as well. Walking home was always a lot more fun as we used to travel by water in a deep ditch alongside the Island Highway.

We each had a boat (a wood chip) and floated it down the hill that took us home. We called the game “Simon Fraser” after that intrepid Canadian explorer who named

the river after himself. It took us ages to get home as we often had to get into the ditch to get our canoe off a sand bar and later our mother couldn’t understand how we could get

so muddy just walking down the road. We also had war ships (huge logs that had floated down the Little Qualicum River many years before and been marooned on a sand bank near the mouth of the river. Our mother obviously didn’t realize the perils our war games presented. She was much too busy in her big vegetable garden — which was marvelous for us ... no one saying, ‘Don’t!’. Her meals were always wonderful, full of fresh vegetables. She and her dad, our grandpa, are responsible for my love of the garden.

I’m spoiled and I love it. Next time you are passing a garden centre, maybe you should have a peek to see if the bulbs are in yet.

A North Saanich security company will lend its eyes and ears to the community on Halloween night. Daniel Laprade, president of KC Security Services, says as a new company he wanted to do something for the community in the security capacity — and running patrols on Halloween seemed like the perfect opportunity. “It’s to give back,” he said. “We are giving our time that night, trying to

do what we can, to be a resource for the public (on Halloween).” He said his company’s patrol vehicles will be out in Saanich Peninsula neighbourhoods. Staff will be around to help people if they need it and to be extra eyes for local police agencies. He said he will contact local police to let them know they are out in Sidney and Central and North Saanich between 6 and 9 p.m. Laprade added the drivers will have goodies for the kids if they approach their vehicles. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

VAA to take Gateway plans public at outset ince as the project proceeds. He said people do need the right information to make a decision about Gateway — and the VAA plans to deliver that even before they seek approvals from the Town of Sidney. “Like everybody else,” Simosko said, “we’ll have to wait until after the application is made.” Even when it happens, she said she’s not sure the SBIA will take a stance one way or the other.

Continued from page 1

The VAA is proposing a new retail centre — Sidney Gateway — and are currently working to have the land removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Once that happens, it’s expected they’ll put an application to the Town of Sidney to have the land rezoned for commercial development. Bogusz said the VAA wants to take the proposal to the community prior to any of that, in a series of public consultations. He said that will be contingent on whether the Agricultural Land Commission approves the change. He said the VAA will meet in early November with the ALC. Should they get approval to move ahead, Bogusz said they will hold public meetings prior to taking any zoning requests to the municipality. The proposal, which came to light last July, is still in its infancy. It has sparked rumours of possible tenants on the site — as well as fear about its impact on the bottom line of existing businesses. “This is a big change,” Simosko said. “It’s going to be a major change in the town, we

We’re going to have to feel our way ahead here.” To quell rumours and seek current, accurate information, Simosko said the SBIA felt it was important to hold the meeting for its members. It was not a public session, but was attended by three town councillors and municipal staff, as observers, she said, noting that the municipality itself is a member of the SBIA. What they learned, Simosko continued, was that the developers are looking for four main site anchors — a

grocery store, financial institution, medical facility to attract new doctors and possibly a YMCA. Since the land is not yet zoned for any of this, with many steps yet to come, Simosko pointed out the plans are preliminary at best. That was echoed by Bogusz, who confirmed the four main anchors. As for the YMCA, he said that was held up as an example, but the idea is to seek out an adult recreation organization for the site. SBIA members — there were around 70 at the meeting — had

plenty of questions, including concerns over the impact on the intersection of the Pat Bay Highway and Beacon Avenue. Simosko said SBIA members, in varying degrees, were both for and against the Gateway — but all seemed willing to listen. Getting the right information out to the community, said Bogusz, is key to the VAA’s effort. He said transportation issues were the highest priority at the SBIA meeting, adding they will be working with the prov-

“Our role is not to take a position on issues, only to bring more people to town, more footsteps,” she said, noting the SBIA uses marketing, promotion, event co-ordination and facilitation to accomplish that. By providing their members more information about the Gateway, she continued, they will be able to influence the direction of the project when the VAA and Town of Sidney make their decisions.

Finger Eleven back with new album Carlie Connolly News staff

After going off the radar for a few years, Finger Eleven is back on the road, travelling across Canada on their Fall of the Hammer tour. After a five year album break, they’re back with their latest, Five Crooked Lines, released this summer. With just seven albums released over their 20 plus career, the rockers from Burlington, Ontario sure like to take their time when they’re making music. “We made enough records to know that you cant really rush the process so the record just took a little bit longer than we sort of anticipated…” said guitarist Rick Jackett in a an interview with the PNR. He said the band wanted to make something special but that they needed to go home and sort of refuel the tanks after being on the road off and on for close to 12 years. “Once we did and we

“But we spent very little time recording the record which was a lot of fun. “For us, part of making a record is exploring and evolving. We’re not really big fans of repeating ourselves.” Finger Eleven has been together as a band since high school, when they called themselves the Rainbow Butt Monkeys, playing moody grunge music. And so when it comes to local bands, they know all about starting out. They got their first big break winning a local radio station’s band contest. On their cross-Canada tour, they have selected one local opening band from each city they stop. Jackett said that

path, your finger eleven points you down another, and that’s the voice you should listen to, referring to one’s gut and instinct. “It actually really applied to the way the band thinks of our own music and thinks of our band itself, so it’s sort of become like a mission statement without even really knowing that that’s what it was,” said Jackett. When it comes to their rise to fame, they began like a lot of others do, with perseverance. “With every song you write and ever show you play the next one gets that much better and really its just a matter of keeping at it.” Head of the Herd opens for Finger Eleven Oct. 31 at the Mary Winspear Centre.

A lot of the times, Jackett said they go into a city and the promoter just ends up picking the band — bands Finger Eleven just wouldn’t put on the bill. “This allows us to sort of peek into the local scenes of each city and pick which band we thought would fit the bill a bit better or that deserves a chance that isn’t getting one,” said Jackett. The rest of the band is James Black, Sean Anderson and Scott Anderson. It was in Scott’s lyric, ‘your finger eleven points the other way,’ that the band came across their name Finger Eleven.

Her first tour was in 2002 and Crowe said the Mary Winspear Centre is usually the size of venue she performs at. “One of my first, I think, biggest shows that I remember was actually in Victoria — The Huron Carole with Tom Jackson years and years ago. “That was pretty exciting,”

she said. Currently living in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, Crowe said she was happy to come back to B.C. to see family and to perform. The house was almost full on the weekend, and Crowe performed many different kinds of music, including lots of her originals, music that will be on her new album

expected out next year. She finished off the night with a cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, to which the audience sung along and stood in a standing ovation.

Nanaimo-born Allison Crowe performed with her band to a standing ovation and laughs throughout, as she played well-known covers and songs that will be on her new album. The Oct. 23 show at the Mary Winspear Centre opened with newest member, Celine Greb, playing cello and singing along with guitarist and vocalist Billie Woods. Dave Baird on bass later joined the show when Crowe came out to perform. In her first time playing the violin on stage with shaking, sweaty hands, she admitted on stage, Crowe wowed the crowd. She switched between many instruments — piano, guitar, drums and of course, the nerve-wracking violin. A couple years ago, she said her boyfriend bought her a fiddle for Christmas and so she began learning to play it from YouTube videos. Her greatgrandfather played and her father repurposed his fiddle, fixing it up with Crowe now incorporating it into some of her songs. Crowe first got started in music when she was a teenager, performing at open mic

Sidney artist Silas really hits the glass ceiling ArtSea Fest: He can cut, bend and drill glass Carlie Connolly News staff

After graduating from a five-year fine arts program, artist and innovator Rick L. Silas wanted to develop his own medium. His success to date has led him to appearing on the Dragon’s Den and the Discovery Channel. “When I looked around, I realized that tempered plate glass had no way to be recycled in the marketplace,” he told the PNR at his studio behind the Mary Winspear Centre. His studio was one of the stops on the weekend’s Studio Tour, part of the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula’s ArtSea Festival. He said the numbers are astronomical when it comes to this glass. “On the planet we produce 50 million

Artist Rick Silas looks through one of his glass displays on the Peninsula’s Studio Tour over the weekend. tonnes of this material every year and there is no way to recycle it.” He added that once it’s made, you can’t cut it again. Putting the math together in his head, he said he thought there were mistakes (glass castoffs) piling

up somewhere, so he began contacting the glass factories. “I found out they were more than happy to give me the mistake,” he said, adding he found some places trade for the material. “I would do boardroom tables for them and

they’d give me 5,000 sheets of glass.” For almost 35 years, Silas has been hard at work experimenting, which people can see from the results at his studio. “I can cut it, bend it, drill it. I can do all kinds of stuff that none of the

factories can do,” he said. He also has a patented technology and is now starting to license factories to use it. He just licensed a manufacturer in London, England and is now negotiating with some here in Canada. Silas even landed a spot on the Discovery Channel along with the Dragon’s Den, which he said he enjoyed. One of the Dragon judges, Kevin O’Leary, called up Silas, offering him $300,000 cash plus seven and a half per cent royalty for access to his patented technology for bending glass without heat. Unfortunately the deal later collapsed as they just didn’t know how to commercialize it. He now has a small factory doing that in England. Silas said, in a kidding fashion, that a lot of his work comes from clients coming to him with an aesthetic problem. “Generally its a window with a view of a [garbage] container,”

he said. Silas said the techniques are all done in his studio, with no heat and no machines and he added that the

demand has grown for using the material, especially for countertops. “It’s going very commercial very quickly.”

Peninsula splits weekend games NORTH SAANICH — The Peninsula Panthers split yet another set of games for the third weekend in a row, winning all three at home and losing all three on the road. The Panthers clawed out a 5-2 win on Friday night (Oct. 23) against the Kerry Park Islanders at the Panorama Recreation Centre but dropped a 3-2 decision to the same Islanders Saturday night. On Friday, Marty Westhaver, 16, scored his seventh goal of the season three-and-a-half minutes in and the Panthers did not look back. Cam Thompson added to the lead with only 16 seconds remaining in the period. The Islanders came back with a marker of their own early in the second period, however, two goals by veteran Hunter Frampton left the Panthers up 4-1 at the end of 40 minutes. An Islanders’ marker made the game closer than it should have been. Nothing changed the rest of the way and with just a tick over two minutes left, the Islanders pulled their goaltender for the extra attacker. The move backfired when Michael Neale picked up a loose puck and scored to cap the win. On Saturday in Mill Bay the tables were turned. Kerry Park opened up a 3-0 lead on Panthers’ starter Shawn Parkinson and his mates. Late in the second period however, things changed dramatically. The Panthers’ Ty Hermsen gathered in a loose puck on a turnover deep in the Islanders’ zone at the 19:29 mark and scored. Ten seconds

later, Thompson picked up a loose puck, snuck by two defencemen to backhand a shot to the top shelf to close the gap, 3-2. The third period was frantic with the Panthers pushing to get the equalizer. They did get several opportunities but the goaltender stood firm. “We had a great effort both nights,” said Panthers’ Head Coach Rob Mortin. “We once again stepped it up and were close to winning both.” The Panthers host the red hot Westshore Wolves at 7:30 p.m. Friday night at Panorama Recreation Centre. — News staff
