Sidney likes middle road on market
Santa, before and after
Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Sidney council prefers the middle of the road for the Sidney Summer Market. They approved, in principle, altering the configuration for the popular market that runs down Beacon Avenue on Thursday nights June through August. “We all agree on the desired outcome,” said Mayor Larry Cross. “That’s the easy part, the harder part is how do we make it work successfully for everyone.” Cross said that the town understands it’s a important economic issue for the entire community. “We have to get involved in it more actively than we have in the past,” he added. Businesses in Sidney brought up concerns over access to their shops under the current configuration of what Edward Connor calls the “second most successful street market in western Canada.”
Security Santa, aka Commissionaire Al Paterson, loses his winter lining at the hands of Victoria Airport Authority firefighter Annamarie Olson to raise funds for the Victoria Hospice Society. Paterson is a wellknown Santa’s helper, playing the role each December followed by a January trim to support the Victoria Hospice Society. He hoped to hit the $2,100 he made last year.

Sandown inches ahead as costs revealed Staff report prices fixes at $700,000 Erin Cardone News staff
Sandown’s value will be appraised after the property inched toward resolution. North Saanich’s committee of the whole voted unanimously Monday to approve a $9,000 environmental investigation on the property and asked staff to have a
formal appraisal of the property. However, a 4-3 vote held staff back from drafting a memorandum of understanding with the Agricultural Land Commission on the use of the property. “It’s not quite as easy and clean a deal as people think it is,” Coun. Craig Mearns said, noting the real estate climate for agricultural land is cool and the municipality might have troubles selling or leasing it. Mearns and councillors Ted Daly, Dunstan Browne and Conny McBride voted against signing
the MOU. Mayor Alice Finall, Coun. Celia Stock and Coun. Elsie McMurphy voted in favour. North Saanich worked with the owner of the former Sandown race track, Bill Randall, to draw up a deal that would give Randall 12 acres of land near McDonald Park Road to develop into commercial property by removing it from the Agricultural Land Reserve. In return, he would donate the rest of the 83-acre parcel to the municipality for agricultural use. The district would put 12 acres of its

Mearns, Daly, Browne and McBride voted at the Dec. 12 meeting to halt all advancements until staff could bring more information about the costs associated with the land deal.

Gold and Silver Coins Selling for Highest Prices in Over 30 Years Due to Weak Economy and It’s Happening Right Here in Victoria!
By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER
ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.
Here’s How It Works: Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Coins for Kids drive helps 444 children
POLICE NEWS
News Review, Kiwanis thank generous donors for their support
Rear-ender with SUV no smart move
Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Readers deposited $1,441 worth of coins and other donations to the Coins for Kids campaign this Christmas. “I would like to thank our readers and the community who dug deep and gave to this cause,” said
Jim Parker, publisher of the Peninsula News Review. “Thanks to their generous donations, many children received toys this year that might otherwise have gone without. This showed the true spirit of Christmas.” The money raised through the Coins for Kids campaign goes to the Kiwanis Club of Sidney and the Peninsula, which buys gifts for children who would otherwise go without. “Our cash donations were definitely down over last year, but actual toy donations were up,” said Kelly Ward, president of the Kiwanis
Club of Sidney and Peninsula. “The toy donations we received were amazing – a wide range of high quality gifts. We also received some larger gifts, such as electronics and air hockey tables, which we decided to distribute as family gifts.” The Kiwanis provided gifts for 444 kids, from newborns to age 13, an increase of 13 per cent over last year. They also provided clothing for another 37 individuals. While Coins for Kids donations were down from the 2010 total of $2,039, the cash still made an
impact. With those funds, Kiwanis members purchase gifts to fill a lack of donated toys, common in the baby and teen age groups. While they’re still tallying up their final cash donations, Kiwanis have the small surplus they like heading into the next holiday season. “It looks like we’ll have a good start for next year,” Ward said. “We do have a start for next year, but if we look at the trend, there will be an even larger need next year.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
Tour de Victoria missing a Ryder Olympian Ryder Hesjedal will miss this year’s event, which will be dedicated to charity
What’s new? One of the biggest changes in the 2012 Tour de Victoria is the date. The tour will occur one month earlier, on June 24. It will, however, still coincide with the Victoria International Cycling Festival. Other alterations for 2012 include course and distance changes, and the addition of the 50 kilometre Tour de Victoria. The 90 km tour gains 10 km to become the 100 km Tour de Victoria. In order to include more Greater Victoria communities in the event, the start line of the 100 km ride has been moved to City Centre Park in Langford. The new 50 km distance starts at Parkland secondary school in North Saanich and welcomes those aged 16 and up. All three distances will be timed from start to finish in 2012. The 140 km and 100 km riders will also be timed on the locally feared Munn’s Road hill climb. All three distances will finish at the same point – the B.C. legislature in downtown Victoria, where riders will enter a welcoming festival environment. Those not riding are invited to Victoria’s Inner Harbour to cheer the riders on.

The 2012 Tour de Victoria will be short one Ryder. Local Olympian and Tour de France competitor Ryder Hesjedal, who helped launch the tour last year, will miss out due to his training schedule. “I was able to be here last year in the inaugural ride. Unfortunately, if everything goes to plan and I’m in form and back in the tour after the Tour of Italy, I won’t be able to be at the ride,” Hesjedal said at the launch event last week. This year’s Tour de Victoria will take place on June 24, allowing participants lots of time for spring training. “A huge highlight for me to have this ride exist and happen the way it did and to be able to be there … was a dream come true,” said Hesjedal. “My vision for the ride is not only to promote the amazing region of Victoria, the place that created me, that made me who I am as a cyclist, but also to promote a healthy lifestyle,” he said. The 2011 Tour de Victoria attracted 1,350 cyclists from as far away as Nova Scotia and Texas. Upward of 800 riders registered for the 140 kilometre course, and about 400 for the 90 km and 150 participants cycled the four-kilometre community ride in downtown

Let’s get farms, cost-recovery A list of numbers likely opened the eyes of many North Saanich residents Monday, when a municipal staff report showed a brief synopsis of the costs taxpayers would bear to complete the Sandown proposal. The figure given was $693,000 after factoring in a $100,000 incentive from the land owner, Bill Randall, to tear down some structures. Before Monday’s If you don’t want to council meeting, some residents pay for Sandown, and councillors suspected there develop part of it might be hefty costs involved, but staff hadn’t presented the numbers. With taxpayers on the hook to beef up a property that might only be worth $2.5 million, the deal isn’t looking as sweet as it once did. John Upward, a neighbour to the property and a developer, called the News Review on Tuesday with an interesting suggestion: Why not slice off 10, 15 acres of the 83 North Saanich would get from Randall, and sell it to a developer at market value? The developer pays to service the land. With revenue from the sale – a few million dollars – North Saanich could make the necessary improvements to the 70-ish remaining acres, all of which are locked into the Agricultural Land Reserve. As time goes by, the municipality and residents benefit from some tax revenue from the farm property, and the much higher tax revenue from the developed land. Many are touting the current proposal on the table as a win-win-win situation, where the municipality, the Agricultural Land Commission and farmers all see the light. But now we know taxpayers could feel a hit. Can’t we make this a win-win-win-win? It’s clear we need farm land on the Peninsula to benefit farmers young and old, and for the sake of food sustainability. Let’s see cost recovery take care of any of the pain of adding such a big piece of valuable, farmable land into the ALR for perpetuity, by letting a slice of it be developed. What do you think?

Short-term goals are harder to pinpoint and solve quickly – but work needs to be done collaboratively so all municipalities are moving in the same direction. That’s what a comprehensive transportation plan looks like. When the puzzle is complete, most if not all Greater Victorians should be able to get to their destination faster, cheaper or easier than they would if they drove themselves. But patience, for the time being, is key. The current LRT system being floated around won’t even be built until 2019 at the earliest. Even as a Gordon Head resident who won’t get any use out of the first LRT line, I won’t complain when a gas tax is implemented, or more of my property tax is directed toward financing light rail along the Trans-Canada instead of closer to my home. That’s because I know I have to be patient. My neighbourhood will eventually be served by rapid transit, but it has to start somewhere -- and Gordon Head, Esquimalt, Sidney, Oak Bay all drew the short straw. Until that time I will probably continue to drive to work and I’ll probably continue to get annoyed by the cyclists hogging my lane. But I am trying hard to be a more patient road user. Because patience is the only thing that’ll help the region get from A to B in the smoothest way possible. Kyle Slavin is a reporter with the Saanich News. kslavin@saanichnews.com

LETTERS Simple fixes for bad drivers I have read and heard numerous comments on how bad our drivers are here on the Peninsula. The best way to avoid any confrontation is the very simple but not so obvious method of using your signal lights. The new traffic circle (roundabout) is the perfect example. I hate sitting to yield into the circle because ignorant drivers do not use their signal lights on a regular basis to exit the circle. If only
they used their signal lights, the flow would work flawlessly. Vehicles can enter knowing that the oncoming vehicle is turning. The signal light is used to show intent, so if you are changing lanes anywhere, including the traffic circle, please use your signal lights. I can handle speeders, if they show intent – with signal lights. If you drive the speed limit and are careful, you are very dangerous if you do not signal intent. We are not mind readers.
Good to know Hailey’s history before election
Word choice in police story ‘repulsive’
Re: Article on Coun. Hailey doesn’t tell whole story (Letters, Dec. 28) As a candidate in the recent Sidney municipal election I can only wonder how the vote may have been different if all facts were presented about Coun. Melissa Hailey’s tenure as councillor in North Cowichan were disclosed to the electorate, including legal costs involved in that district. Coun. Hailey states that it was North Cowichan council’s decision to proceed with legal action. I would think that as a member of North Cowichan council, Hailey would have been aware that there was the possibility of legal action being taken against her and should have, as a trustee to the taxpayers’ money. Afterwards to run for re-election (and be defeated) is almost an in-yourface attitude. As a voter I feel I should have been aware of this issue previous to the vote, in which case Hailey could have stated her side of the story. I can only hope in all fairness the Peninsula News Review knew nothing of this story before the election. This is not a story that will go away in three years. Mike Barwick Sidney
Re: Man pukes on Christmas (News, Jan. 4) I find the word puke most repulsive. Even if the people trying to help the man used the word puke, I feel the writer of the article could have described this incident with less vulgarity.

Cost of care shouldn’t be deciding factor A friend of mine was in a parking lot of a local Sidney business today when she noticed that an elderly lady had fallen from her powered chair. The elderly lady had cut her lip and the two ladies (my friend and another) could not pick the woman up, so they called an ambulance. The ambulance arrived and the woman that had fallen stated she couldn’t afford an ambulance so my friend said, “That’s OK, let’s just get you off the ground and go get checked out.” Again the elderly lady said she couldn’t afford it, so my friend said “That’s OK, don’t worry about it, it’s covered.” At that point, the

The law is not to leave your lane, otherwise you are at fault – even if you swerve to go around a garbage truck or three abreast biking on the side of the road.

ambulance driver says, “Yeah, it’s an $85 charge.” Then, of course, the elderly woman was absolutely adamant about not going in the ambulance. I find it very upsetting that the ambulance driver would figuratively throw gasoline onto an already burning fire.

Brochure criticism had some teeth Re: ALR info was correct: Abbeyfield (Letters, Jan. 6) I believe Lorrene Soellner’s point in quoting the land title dates in Information letter misrepresented ALR (Letters, Dec. 28) is that properties such as Sandown race track, Ardmore and Glen Meadows golf courses, schools, etc., were developed before the ALR came into existence in the 1970s, therefore they were grandfathered in and did not have to go through development applications. Such properties are now included in the ALR because of their future agricultural potential. Most North Saanich residents

Cocaine seizures are a drop in the bucket Re: 12 kg of coke found in car (News, Jan. 11) The Canadian and B.C. governments claim to be making ground in the war on drugs, but a quick look at the estimates of regional cocaine flows suggests this is only a fraction of the amount which passes through America into the country. These so-called drug busts are heralded as a trophies in the struggle which authorities are waging against drug trafficking. Such self-congratulatory acts may not be entirely warranted. If the percentage of seizures are applied to the United Nations Office on Drugs and the RCMP’s crime estimates that some 165 metric tons of cocaine is consumed in North America annually, it could mean around 143.55 tons of the drug pass into the U.S. and Canada annually. The claims thus represent a drop in an Olympic size swimming pool of cocaine and has only worsened
in recent years. This is unlikely to change in the future, as the governments are notoriously in denial. Maybe it is time for a re-think? William Perry Victoria
Commit to aid funding abroad in 2012 I am hoping many Canadians will read my idea of a New Year’s resolution and act on it. How would it be if each one of us asked the federal government to lift the freeze on aid? It could be such an amazing thing for Canadians to all reach out to our neighbours far and wide with support for adequate funding towards the eradication of killer diseases such as HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The Canadian International Development Agency has a frozen budget. CIDA has helped with many programs that have been successful. These cost effective interventions save lives and bring us closer to meeting the millennium development goals. With all of our voices we would push the frozen budget to melt. Once again the Global Fund would be able to give towards new funding in countries that are crying out for help. Lennor Stieda Central Saanich

Stakeholders to discuss proposed changes soon Continued from page A1
Connor, CEO and president of the Sidney Business Association which runs the market, attended the council meeting Monday night as staff presented its report to council. “We’ve had no input into this staff presentation,” Connor said. SBA worries include vehicle access during setup if the configuration is altered from two rows of vendors down the sides of Beacon Avenue, to a double row down the middle. Staff noted that a road centre configuration would depend deeply on the organizer creating and implementing a safe and efficient vendor drop-off, set up and take down procedure for the event. Patti Anthony, executive director of the business association,
said vendors are already lining up for this year’s market. “If it takes too long to make a decision we will lose those vendors,” she said. “They will go to another market.” “I’m a little concerned that it could disappear,” said Coun.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Too soon for OCP review: council
Coun. Dunstan Browne’s recommendation that North Saanich review its official community plan was met with some hesitation at Monday’s committee of the whole meeting. The plan was last updated less than five years ago, and the process took four years and plenty of money to complete. Mayor Alice Finall called the recommendation “ridiculous” and “unnecessary.” Staff was directed to build a timeline for an OCP review.

Hiring freeze talk hidden
Browne also suggested the municipality instate a hiring freeze and that no vacancies be filled without council approval. The idea will be discussed in camera, as it affects personnel and the union.
North Saanich is moving ahead on its climate action plan, after approving $10,000 to prepare terms of reference for the plan. Council approved the plan in a 6-1 vote, with Coun. Ted Daly voting against it. Staff will consider creating a committee, building a report on encouraging use of low-emission vehicles and identifying improvements to the sustainability guide. Council also agreed to spend $5,000 on a corporate and community energy plan with the help of B.C. Hydro. North Saanich signed the B.C. Climate Action charter, which aims to make municipalities carbon neutral in 2012.

Glory horse rescued Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
It took 14 firefighters and six residents nearly two hours free a horse from its muddy prison on Tuesday. “It was out in a field and it took off across this bridge. ‌ It just slipped off the bridge and landed in the muddy creek,â€? said Gary Wilton, fire chief for North Saanich Volunteer Fire Department. “It had a hard time getting out of the creek.â€? Wilton happened to be in the area, the 1500 block of Munro Road, and saw the horse get into trouble at 5 p.m. He called his comrades. The contingent of 20, including a veterinarian, used ropes to pull out 26-year-old Glory, which stands at 17 hands, or 1.72 metres tall. “He jumped up and he seemed OK,â€? Wilton said. “He was covered in mud, and cold and probably scared, but I think he’s OK.â€? reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

B.C. gets interest break on HST fund Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. and federal governments have agreed to a five-year interest-free repayment schedule for the $1.6 billion harmonized sales tax transition fund, but the deal does not change the province’s deficit position. B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Wednesday the interest break will save B.C. $118 million in interest costs, since the money doesn’t have to be borrowed all at once to repay by the March 31 deadline. Instead Ottawa will accept five annual transfers of $320 million each. The entire repayment is still being charged to the province’s books in the current Kevin Falcon fiscal year, which ends this spring. Combined with reduced provincial revenues and slightly increased spending, B.C.’s deficit for this year is forecast to be $3.1 billion. The terms of the referendum where voters opted out of the HST require the province to restore the PST with the charges and exemptions that existed prior to July 2010. A panel of tax experts was appointed to review the PST for administrative efficiencies when it is reinstated spring 2013. When the HST was rejected, the finance ministry estimated it would bring in an additional $600 million in revenues in each of the next two years, based on economic growth and extending the seven per cent provincial portion of the sales tax to a variety of services. Businesses will have to forgo input tax credits available under the HST and convert cash registers and accounting systems back to collecting the GST and PST separately. Low-income B.C. residents will lose HST rebates starting in 2013. The total cost to B.C. of going back to the PST has been estimated at about $3 billion. In addition to the transition fund repayment and the foregone extra revenue, B.C. has to re-establish a provincial sales tax administration and audit department. Transition rules for businesses switching from the HST back to the former provincial sales tax are expected to be announced by March 31. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Off-leash plan offed Sidney kills off-leash park idea as survey denounces proposal Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Survey says no to an off leash park at Rathdown Park. Sidney council agrees. Council will not create an off leash area in the eastern part of the park near Ardwell Avenue in Sidney after neighbours showed little support for the idea. Coun. Mervyn LougherGoodey noted that of the 14 neighbouring properties surveyed, 12 opposed a one-year trial run of a designated off leash area in the park. “It gives us a chance, as a town, to enhance the dog park that we have,” said Coun. Steve Price, noting the high usage at North Saanich’s Cy
Hampson Park. “We do want to look at improving the existing dog park that we have.” He referred to Peter Grant Park, a large field accessible from Reay Creek Park and from a trail on the Frost Avenue West entrance next to Greenglade school. Proponents were seeking a dog offleash area on the east side of Highway 17. “I know from door knocking there was a demand for a dog park, particularly for small dogs,” said Coun. Melissa Hailey. “The north end is really wanting to see us do something about parks in general,” agreed Coun. Tim Chad. Council denied the request for off leash in that park and asked the proponents – should they seek another location to the east of the highway – show neighbourhood support when approaching the town. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com tania miller

Land might not sell easily despite fixes A new column Continued from page A1
Browne had his doubts about the costs. “When we started off this thing, we were around $400,000. Now we’re close to $700,000,” he said. Mearns added it could be difficult to sell the land, which might only be worth $2 million to $3 million when covenants are locked onto its uses – a significant difference from its current estimated value of about $6 million. But Ed Johnson from the Farmlands Trust Society offered at the meeting for
his organization to farm and manage the land as is, at no cost to the municipality. Stock said the proposal should move ahead. “I don’t think the cost to taxpayers will be more than what the opportunity is,” Stock said, adding the draft MOU could have been altered before finalization, if it was approved. A draft MOU can be altered multiple times before it is signed, ALC executive director Colin Fry said, not speaking specifically about Sandown. “It’s back and forth and
“It’s back and forth and quite frankly, I think you’d come out with quite a number of drafts before you signed anything.” – Colin Fry, Agricultural Land Commission quite frankly, I think you’d come out with quite a number of drafts before you signed anything,” he told the News Review. “I would think that … at the end of the day
the council will have to internally address the issues, flesh out their proposal, then provide it to the commission for review.” Seven young farmers from Victoria spoke at the meeting, saying the Peninsula needs quality land for food production and farming education. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

opens dialogue with RCMP
For more than 20 years, I’ve strapped on my RCMP uniform to serve communities in Northern Saskatchewan and more recently, for the Sidney North Saanich detachment in my home province. Many of you will already know me, but for those who don’t, I am Cpl. Chris Swain, a supervisor and the media liaison officer for the local RCMP. In an effort to connect with the community in new ways, I’ll be writing a column twice a month on the issues that affect the residents of Sidney Cpl. Chris and North Saanich, and the Swain Peninsula. I want to keep this Red Coat Corner column topical and related to current events or occurrences and concerns from the public. Above all, I hope this column will be informative to you and will serve as a communication tool. My hope is more communication will bring better understanding of your RCMP officers and will put a face to the Mounties who serve you. A vital aspect to this column is the input and feedback that you, our community, can provide. I would like to hear from you what you’d like to know about public safety, crime, policing, or any other related topic. Our detachment speaks every year with local governments, First Nations communities and other clients in the region to determine their priorities when it comes to policing, then form an annual plan to address those concerns and priorities. We set our policing goals based on that plan and adjust our goals quarterly if necessary. The Sidney North Saanich detachment is a great place to work as a police officer and we have a great team of people here who are doing important work. I hope to introduce them to you and tell you more about what we do. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, or to suggest a topic for a future column, by emailing me at sidneyrcmp@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Shootout clinches Cougar win Panthers suffer two tight losses, host Oceanside tonight
Last Friday evening at the Panorama Recreation Centre was a titanic battle between the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League leading Victoria Cougars and the hometown Peninsula Panthers. Trailing 3-2 with only 15 ticks left in the game, Panthers’ Josh Bloomenthal managed to get a puck past Cougars’ netminder Evan Roch to send the exciting affair into overtime. The five-minute extra frame would not settle anything between the two evenly matched squads, however it was the Cougars who managed to find a way to put two by Panthers’ goaltender Kyler Stern in the shootout and that was enough to send the visitors home with a victory. Panthers captain Jake Bryan wired a blast past Roch midway through the first period, but it was the Cougars’ Steve Axford and Christopher Bannister who each notched goals in the second for the Cougars giving them a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes. Kayle Ramsay tied the game early in the third period for the home Cats, however when Axford replied only 15 seconds later, it would be up to Bloomenthal to push the issue into extra time.

Panthers stopper Kyler Stern makes one of 33 stops of the night against the Victoria Cougars last Friday. He was named second star for the evening. strong felt Bloomenthal’s play on the goal late in the contest was the play of the game. He was disappointed with the loss, but not with the effort on the ice. “The game plan was simple: outwork our opponent’s best players and stay out of the box,� he said. “Our club competed hard for three periods but a couple of untimely and undisciplined penalties cost us a win in the end. Stern was solid between the pipes and really gave us an opportunity – I like his play as we near the playoffs.� The team travelled to Comox on Saturday and were dropped by the Glacier Kings 6-4. The team just missed tying the game at fives with only two min-
utes left, but Comox managed to score the insurance marker with Panthers goaltender Zack Wear on the bench for the extra attacker. Joe Densmore, who as of late has been a one-man wrecking crew, scored all four markers for the Panthers and was unstoppable throughout the game – three via the powerplay on five opportunities. Armstrong indicated he had a couple irons in the fire as the trading deadline approached. “Yes we have been burning up the lines the past several days and hopefully we will have a few surprises come Friday night.� The Panthers host the Oceanside Generals tonight (Jan. 13) at 7:30 p.m. at Panorama Recreation Centre.
The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League All-Star Classic and Prospects Game will take place Sunday at Pearkes arena in Saanich. Peninsula Panthers lacing up for the South in the all-star game include Dane Gibson, Jake Bryan and Tyler Porteous under Victoria Cougars coach Mark Van Helvoirt. The Prospect Game will feature some of the finest young talent in the VIJHL including Peninsula’s Wade Bartlett, Fraser Sutherland, Iver Oedegaard and Kayle Ramsay. Prospects play at 1 p.m. followed by a skills competition at 2:30 p.m. and the All-Star Classic at 3:30. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
Five seasons after the Benn brothers skated together with the Victoria Grizzlies, 24-yearold defenceman Jordie has joined his 22-yearold brother Jamie with the Dallas Stars. The Central Saanich brothers are the second pair of siblings to play for the Stars, with Derian and Kevin Hatcher the last pair. They’re also the second pair of B.C. Hockey League brothers to play in the NHL, following Paul and Steve Kariya. Jordie logged 16 minutes and 31 seconds in his NHL debut for Dallas against the Detroit Red Wings on Jan. 3. He also recorded his first NHL point, assisting along with Jamie on Loui Eriksson’s first period goal. In 2008-09, Jordie was the seventh – sometimes the eighth – defencemen for the Victoria Salmon Kings. His adjustment to the pro game was slow, but
Jordie Benn steady. He followed Jamie to the Stars’ organization in 2009-10 and ended up with the Central Hockey League’s Allen Americans, a step below the ECHL. Jordie quietly climbed to the NHL through the AHL Texas Stars. sports@peninsulanews review.com
