Smoking in Sidney parks could be a thing of the past.

Coun. Kenny Podmore asked town staff to have a look at making all public spaces in Sidney smoke free after some success with his plan to keep smokers out of Beacon Park.

“At that time the sugges-tion was to put a couple of polite signs in Beacon Park,” Podmore said.

With the new 2020 vision plan for Sidney including a segment on healthy com-munity, the Sidney coun-cillor figured that could be expanded to all parks and public spaces.

“I’m not against smok-ers,” he said. “It’s just trying to keep everyone healthy where we can.”

At Monday’s meeting, council unanimously sup-ported having staff create a report back to council.

In North Saanich, smok-ing is banned in parks and on trails.

Sidney ponders banning smoking in parks

Offer could eliminate costs for North SaanichErin CardoneNews staff

The Farmlands Trust formalized its proposal to manage agriculture on the Sandown land, which North Saanich council is considering acquiring in a land swap deal.

In a letter to council, Ed Johnson, chair of the trust, said the society hopes to create a formal partnership with the municipality to detail the goals and responsibilities associated with the deal, should it be approved by council.

“We anticipate the first few years of operation would see small vegetable acreages and com-munity gardens being established, along with a year-round farmer’s market to serve the local community,” Johnson wrote in the letter.

He also wrote a letter to council on June 6, 2011 stating a similar intent for the land – offer-ing to “lend a hand, both figuratively and liter-ally, when it is asked of us.”

Johnson told the Peninsula News Review that should Farmlands Trust be part of the land deal, it might take over some of the costs associated with preparing the 83 acre parcel for farming.

“We have an advisor who is a registered agrologist,” he said. “The Tsawout band has expressed interest and might qualify for federal

money for some of the area. We’re a registered charity, so we could probably get a good deal [on demolition] in exchange for a tax receipt.”

North Saanich staff have estimated the cost of an agrologist and demolition to be $127,000. Total cost estimates are about $700,000.

Johnson hopes the trust becomes part of the Sandown discussion soon, in order to plant cover crops this fall.

“It’s perfect for us in that it’s a very low cost to no cost for our group, but it’s for the community that we’re doing this. We’re trying to find places where young farmers can get on the land.”

Crown counsel is reviewing the case now that Sidney North Saanich RCMP have finished inves-tigating a fatal car crash at Victoria International Airport last year. The dramatic car crash in the afternoon of July 29 killed one man and injured seven others.

“Ramesh Sharma lost his life after a vehicle driven by a 81-year-old woman struck him and several others, after losing control,” said Cpl. Chris Swain of Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

Witnesses said the white sedan was driving fast when it went over the curb from the parking lot, across the airport entry road, over a raised green area where it struck a taxi and a table full of peo-ple.

The vehicle carried on and hit a baggage carrier

structure and crossed another stretch of pave-ment before hitting the airport security building.

“This was an extensive investigation that included a very large scene and a large amount of physical and witness evidence,” Swain said. “A complete and thorough report has now been submitted to Crown counsel who will now make a determination if any charges are warranted and, if so, what charges they will be.”

Sharma had worked for Yellow Cab for the past 25 years.

“He was a wonderful man,” Yellow Cab presi-dent Kuljit Nagra said after the incident. “We are going to miss him big time. He had no enemies and everyone thought very highly of him.”

Past, present and – hopefully – future will come together as North Saanich mid-dle school celebrates its 70th year in the community.

“We’re recognizing that our history is such an important part of who we are,” said the school’s principal Keray Wing.

More than 400 people are expected to attend the school’s open house on Feb. 3 and 4, as the old school on McDon-ald Park Road prepares to close. Its new incarnation is scheduled to open kitty corner to the old building this spring.

The open house aims to bring together people who attended and taught at North Saanich since it opened in Septem-ber 1943 as a high school. It’s part high school reunion, bringing together grad class clusters in different classrooms of the school, and part family reunion. The Nunn family had 45 members go to school at North Saanich; there were doz-ens of Pearsons, and several Brethours and Aylards.

The very first North Saanich high school stood near the airport, approximately where the legion branch is located.

“The war came along and they thought, gosh they might bomb us,” Wing said. “This was around Pearl Harbour time, so they thought, let’s move them here [to

McDonald Park Road] in case we need to evacuate.”

During the Second World War, 120 North Saanich high school students fought for Canada.

In 1973 – nine years into Don McKin-non’s tenure as principal, following D.E. Benkenridge – the high school became a middle school – one of the first in B.C.

“It’s better than neat. This was called a lighthouse school,” McKinnon said. “They called it a lighthouse because we were showing the way.”

Throughout the years, the school hosted its share of students who would become mini-celebrities, including Tsar-tlip elder Marie Cooper and former Olym-pic sailor Eric Jensen.

“When we look at the changes over the years, it’s fascinating,” Wing said. “When I got here [in 2002] it was very WASPish – all white faces. Now we’ve got such a mix. It’s a little microcosm of Canada. It’s a melting pot; I love it.”

McKinnon said North Saanich middle school’s ability to help students with not only academics, but sports, volunteer-ism and the arts, has contributed to its important role on the Peninsula.

“That’s how I think the school became part of the community and the commu-nity became part of the school.”

McKinnon, Cooper, Pauquachin First Nation Chief Bruce Underwood (whose

son is a student at North Saanich), for-mer students, teachers and administra-tors will be part of the open house.

Registration is requested by accessing the event’s website, www.nsmsreunion.myevent.com, calling the school at 250-656-1129 or emailing [email protected] with New School in the subject line.

Did you know?The organizers of the North Saanich middle school open house are publishing a book with the help of the Sidney Archives. It will be for sale at the event for $15, and contains pictures and poems from the school’s yearbooks and other records.

A man staying at the Pauquachin First Nation hopes witnesses will contact RCMP after his treasured carving knives were stolen last week.

Carl Voyageur, from Alert Bay, is staying with family in the community.

On Wednesday, Jan. 18, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., a suspect entered the house through an unlocked door at 965 Pauquachin Ln. and stole four carving knives – two with curved blades and two straight blades, specially made for mask making – with 25-centimetre wooden handles wrapped in twine.

“It’s my life, it’s my work,” Voyageur said. He carves First Nations masks using the spe-cialized knives.

The four knives have an estimated com-bined value of $400.

Police seek witnesses who might have seen a suspect enter the house. Voyageur hopes for the same, or that the person who took the knives return them to the band office, “no questions asked.”

Anyone with information can contact Sid-ney North Saanich RCMP Const. Daniel Stef-fes at 250-656-3931 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-8477.

Police stopped a truck driv-ing 156 km/h in the 50 km/h zone approaching the Swartz Bay ferry terminal toll booth on Monday, Jan. 23.

Officers from the Capital Regional District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit were on patrol for speeders in the area when they noticed the truck speeding excessively.

They tried to stop the Ford F150 on foot but were unsuc-cessful. Police found the vehi-cle parked a few minutes later at the foot passenger pick up area.

Later, officers found the truck had been driving so fast, it had crashed into a concrete median at the terminal.

The 17-year-old male driver from Saanich, was slapped with a $483 ticket for excessive

speeding.The truck, which belongs to

his father, was impounded for a week and the Office of the Super-intendent of Motor Vehicles will consider reviewing the status of the teen’s driver’s licence.

“This is an example of an inexperienced driver operating a vehicle at a very dangerous speed in an area where foot traffic and other vehicles were present. This is clearly a rec-ipe for disaster,” IRSU Cpl. Ryan Bacica said in a release.

IRSU officers issued 41 tick-ets to speeders in five hours at the terminal, which was extra busy due to cancelled sailings the day before.

Tickets for excessive speed-ing of 41 km/h or more start at [email protected]

The vehicle stolen in a break and enter in North Saanich earlier this month was found in Esquimalt last week.

The Toyota Rav4 was stolen from a residence on Main-waring Road on Jan. 10. It was found in an Esquimalt park-ing lot on Jan. 19 by Victoria police and it appeared to have been there for some time.

The thief or thieves entered a home in the 8900 block of Mainwaring Road in North Saanich while residents were asleep inside. They awoke to find purses, phones, a tablet, backpack and car keys taken. Some items were recovered in the yard, however, the car keys were used to steal the Rav4 from the home.

Sidney North Saanich RCMP say the incident may also be related to an attempted break and enter earlier that morn-ing at about 1:45 a.m., in the 8800 block of Lochside Drive.

Anyone with any information on this crime can call 250-656-3931 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

If they spot a conflict between students, a child left out of a game or a case of bullying, they step in to help.

“We wanted to provide an opportunity for students to practise caring,” said Maryann Gladstone, principal at the tribal school.

For the past three years, the STKAYE Patrol (STKAYE means wolf, or protector, in the SENCO-TEN language) act as leaders at the lunch break, helping younger students come to peaceful reso-lutions to conflicts with other children.

Carol Kenway, a retired teacher from Brentwood elementary school this morning taught anti-bullying strategies and conflict resolution to the 37 students taking part. The response from kids she’s taught in the past was “amazing,” she said.

Four of the 46 STKAYE Patrol-lers – including teachers and administrators – survey the group over the lunch break each day. Some are so committed, they offer to take up the task when it’s not their turn.

“It’s a way, too, for kids to be part of a group and it’s a way to gain strength … When they’re here, they have a little bit of power,” Gladstone [email protected]

Upgrade proposed for police, fire and municipal buildingsChristine van ReeuwykNews staff

A lean amount of public input spurred the next stages of look-ing at a new town hall in Central Saanich.

The municipality has been looking at options for the build-ing on Mount Newton X Road since a facilities charette in 2006 that found the facility lacking.

A staff report to council’s com-mittee meeting Monday night outlined a need for more exten-sive public input.

“We’ve asked them to put it into the budget for public con-sultation,” said Coun. John Gar-rison, chair of the community, protective services and facilities committee. “We’ve done a lot of work but I think that the pub-lic, the majority, haven’t been exposed to, ‘here’s the grand plan and scheme and what do you think?’”

The district had D’Ambrosio Architecture and Urbansim pre-pare a schematic design and ini-tial preliminary cost estimate for a proposed new joint municipal

hall and police station for the current site in Saanichton. Early estimates would put the build-ings at $9 million for the new town hall and police building, and $1.8 million for the satellite fire hall adjacent to the existing Fire Museum. Other costs would be associated to relocation of staff during construction.

“It’s a big ticket item for sure.

The reality is the building was built in the late ’60s, early ’70s,” Garrison said. “It’s a big long pro-cess. … The first thing is going to be the fire hall.”

An open house in June where the schematics were presented to the public was sparsely attended, according to staff. Council unanimously endorsed the staff recommendation for a structured, multi-faceted com-munication and public engage-ment process to get input and comment.

“We’re going to be talking about it at strategic planning,” Garrison said. “It’s going to be one of the priorities to keep it moving along.”

Strategic planning sessions are slated for Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 9 at 9 a.m. at municipal hall, 1903 Mount Newton X Road. [email protected]

The B.C. Ministry of Transportation hired a con-sultant to study the Pat Bay Highway.

Urban Systems Ltd. was tasked to update the the Highway 17 Corridor Planning Strategy. It will look at a long term strategy for the highway, between Swartz Bay and McKenzie Avenue. The ministry plans to continue working with Sidney and the Victoria International Airport for a Beacon Avenue strategy. Transit will be a key part of the plan, including rapid bus service.

The $200,000 study is expected to be complete by December 2012.

OUR VIEW

B.C. Ferries must adjust to market

‘Ferries should follow the airline industry in trying to maximize profits.’

Time to rethink ferries’ future

B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee came out with a list of good suggestions to make the ferry service more viable for British Columbians.

For those of us who live on Vancouver Island, the ferry is an indispensable link to the rest of the province. But the way fares have been increasing over the past near-decade – 47 per cent since 2003 – is making this link a burden. It’s sometimes cheaper – never mind faster – to grab a flight from our airport to Vancouver.

Among Macatee’s suggestions is the idea of a range of fares where users could pay more for peak-time travelling and less for off-peak

sailings. This, along with free reservations, could help the Crown corporation better plan and possibly even out its ridership. Those who want the convenience of peak-time travel will pay more for it, but those who are flexible with travel times will get a break at the toll booth.

With Swartz Bay located on the tip of the Peninsula, the ferry service is a big player in our economy. Hundreds of thousands of ferry riders pass through the Peninsula each year to get to the terminal, making B.C. Ferries a key ingredient in our economy, especially when it comes to tourism and services like gas stations and food providers.

The service needs to be viable for both locals and tourists. We’d like to see the range of fares come into place – as long as the top of the range isn’t much higher than we’re already paying. Free reservations make ferry travel convenient for locals, while the suggestion to cap fares at the rate of inflation will make prices easier to digest for tourists who visit the Peninsula on their way to and from the terminal.

The ferry service’s costs diminished when former CEO David Hahn stepped down, terminating his million-dollar compensation package. Let’s see those cost-saving measures continue with Macatee’s suggestions being implemented as soon as possible.

The B.C. Ferry Commission has spent the past several months reviewing the affordability of the coastal ferry service.

The final report and recommendations were released Tuesday. They suggested fares caps tied to inflation rates and a range of prices that vary depending on travel time, rather than the increases proposed by former B.C. Ferries CEO David Hahn last February.

There aren’t a lot of ways to bring down the cost of running a ferry. On the rare occasion I spoke with Hahn during his tenure, he made it clear where our fares go: fuelling the ships and paying for a relatively large crew aboard the ferry, the number of which can’t be reduced due to Transport Canada regulations on the ratio of safety-trained personnel to passengers.

But B.C. Ferries only makes money when there are people on board paying for tickets and buying pricey snacks. So if fares get too high and coastal residents reduce their discretionary travel, the ferries are hooped.

There’s evidence that we may have already reached that point. Last year, Ferries said its passenger vehicle numbers had hit a 20-year low and the overall number of passengers was continuing to fall as well.

I can count the number of round-trip ferry rides I’ve taken in the past

year on one hand. And I used to be the type of person – back when I moved to the Island eight years ago and could get a walk-on ticket

for about $10 during peak season – to go to Vancouver at least once a month for concerts or to visit friends.

I spent that first summer here visiting each of the Gulf Islands with a tent strapped to my bike rack. I pretty much had the passenger safety message memorized.

Now, if I need to go to the B.C. Interior or somewhere that would

require taking my vehicle on the boat, I’m more likely to opt for a short-haul flight.

Which makes me think that B.C. Ferries should perhaps follow the lead of the airline industry in trying to maximize profits. On planes, fares are cheaper if you travel at an inconvenient time. The ferry commissioner suggested discounts on its less popular routes to help fill the boats and manage traffic flows.

This isn’t a new idea. The corporation ordered a report from the consulting firm Transportation Economics and Management Systems in 2007, which recommended time-of-day pricing. The Tyee online newspaper found the report this month through its tireless freedom of information requests. The consultant recommended “premium fares” be 75 per cent higher and discount

fares 25 per cent lower than current rates. Of course, the Ferry Commission wouldn’t currently allow such a sharp increase on the premium end, but something along those lines is worth considering.

Another way I think B.C. Ferries could benefit by being more like airlines would be to sell booze on board. I know I’d pay $6.50 for a single-shot highball on a boat, the same as I do in the air.

By Ferries’ own account, fewer people are driving aboard and those who do know B.C.’s tough drinking and driving regulations require them to keep their blood-alcohol level low. But the ferry to Vancouver takes almost two hours, which is lots of time to let the effects of alcohol fade. Last call could be an hour before people get off the boat.

Whatever it does, B.C. Ferries is going to have to be creative if it wants to get its ridership numbers back up. The ferry is an essential service that must remain affordable.

� � �

On a personal note, I’ll soon be making a one-way trip on the ferry as I pack up my life here in Victoria and move to the Kootenays where, by the way, ferries are still provincially owned (and free). I’d like to thank Black Press readers and staff for making my time working in the Island division a memorable one.

OPINION

When I first read the staff-prepared documents on the Sandown land proposal, I couldn’t believe our good

fortune as a new council in being presented, right away, with such a good news item which will enhance the present and future well-being of our community. As one of your councillors, I think that this is one of

those rare, generational gifts which will continue to bring benefits to the community and its citizens far into the future. Many of you have called, spoken or emailed me to express similar views.

The Sandown lands proposal consists of Bill Randall, who owns 95 acres of Agricultural Land Reserve land which comprise the former Sandown racetrack lands. These lands have been sitting unused for some time. Mr. Randall wants to give North Saanich 83 acres of this land, in exchange for North Saanich rezoning 12 acres of it for commercial and business activity.

The businesses which he plans to develop on this rezoned land will provide increased commercial tax revenues for our municipality far into the future. The 83 acre ALR land asset will not be used for socialist experiments, or state farming. It will be a large land asset about which North Saanich will have to consult with

residents to determine future uses.This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity for North Saanich. A gift such as this proposal from Mr. Randall, is an unbelievable public benefit not only for North Saanich, but also for the whole Capital region.

As the council for North Saanich, our role and responsibility is to work together to establish a vision for the future of the district, to set the overall direction of the municipality through our role as policy makers, to truly work to represent the citizens of North Saanich. It takes a lot of courage to work towards a future vision. Often, people confuse what is the business of government.

The business of government is different from the business of business. Businesses seek primarily to grow, increase revenues and maximize profits. Businesses receive revenue from their clientele – the people who purchase their goods or services. Business, particularly small business, is usually privately owned.

Governments are institutions which represent the public, and provide programs and services to their citizens. Governments are responsible for public policy making, leadership, and having the visionary ability to think of the future vision for, and the future well-being of the community. Governments have to think of what are public benefits which will enhance the good of the community. Governments receive revenue through taxation, fees for service and licensing.

The Sandown lands proposal is the

business of government. The Sandown lands are a public benefit, for which there has also been established a good business case. The land owner receives 12 acres of rezoned land for commercial purposes. The District of North Saanich and its citizens receive not only the large land asset, but also the increased commercial tax revenues, which will continue into the future. These facts, plus the fact so many people in North Saanich support the proposal, is my reason for wanting to complete the preliminary work and move forward to a public hearing.

On a second issue concerning Sandown: recently, there has been editorializing, in the newspaper concerning North Saanich staff and Sandown. Municipal staff respond to requests from council. It is only since the new council came to power that we have been requesting much more detailed information on the Sandown proposal from staff. The municipal District of North Saanich benefits from a highly trained, professional staff who work tirelessly to serve our needs.

We are elected as councillors to serve and represent the citizens of North Saanich, and establish policies and programs which reflect their interests and objectives, not our own personal agenda or objectives. Elected officials must work hard to serve and to reflect the wishes of the entire community and the public good. I look forward to the public hearing with regard to the Sandown land proposal.

Shaw should pony up, not taxpayersSo the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre wants to

rebrand Sidney on a we want, you pay basis? Maybe they have forgotten that naming rights are usually paid for by the protagonist. After all, the Ocean Discovery Centre was rebranded, even before opening, with the Shaw label after a substantial cash donation.

Sidney itself is in the middle of two half-hearted rebranding attempts. The Salish Sea is the re-rebranding of all the various straits that comprise it as renamed by the early explorers. It’s time Sidney cashed in once and for all, rolled all these various efforts by special interests into one project that could yield a big payoff. The name I propose is: Save-On-Foods Memorial Booktown-by-the-Salish-Sea.

Of course, Jimmy Pattison would have to be persuaded, and the loss of the name Sidney would merely be collateral damage. Replacing existing signage might be expensive, but for small town politicians, given the choice between spending money on potholes and water and sewer systems, or on more signage, it would be no contest.

Teen’s helping hand meant a lotOn Thursday, Jan. 19, I walked (slipped) to the

library through the snow and by the time I got there to pick up a book I had reserved, I found they were closed on account of weather. I had trouble walking home – it was so slippery – but a young boy about 13 or 14 who was walking with a shovel took my hand. He ended up meeting me at the other side of the street and shovelling the path in front of me as he walked me home. He told me his name was Gabe, like Gabriel, and he lives across from my house. Now there was a wonderful young man.

There are lots of really nice young people around everywhere. Sometimes we just hear bad things, but they are few, I hope.

Ferries could need a whole new vision

He said farmers are looking for one- to five-acre plots and the trust would hope to set up a

community farm and a farmer’s market on the land.

“There’s income coming from the commercial side, income from the leases. We’re a charity

and I’m looking at it as removing the liability from the municipal-ity. We would have to come in and be a third party [on a future memorandum of understanding

with the Agricultural Land Reserve] and say, yes, we would do this for the ALC.”

Council decided on Monday to receive the letter and present it to residents it at future public hearings and other Sandown-related meetings.

On Dec. 16, our detachment executed a search warrant on a home on Lands End Road in North Saanich. There were no furnishings and nobody living inside. The property was not isolated – it was surrounded by other homes and neighbours. The house was used solely for the purpose

of housing a fairly large marijuana grow operation. This type of grow operation is not uncommon in our area and we are confident that others exist in our community.

Our officers dismantled the Lands End grow op that morning. We found more than 300 plants inside and discovered the suspects had reworked the hydro service to the house to support the operation.

Marijuana grow operations pose a serious threat to the safety of our communities and the officers fighting against these illegal operations. Wherever they exist, there is a potential for an increase in criminal activity and a greater chance of fire, explosions and violence. The impact of drugs and organized crime on our communities has been identified as a policing priority each year, both nationally and at the local level. As a detachment, we are committed to combatting these types of activities to keep our neighbourhoods safer.

Here are some signs that may indicate the presence of a marijuana grow operation:

� lots of condensation on the windows� windows are covered all the time� sounds of fans running constantly� pungent odour of vegetative marijuana� no sign of the occupants of the home, as one

would expect� the tenant does not make himself known to

neighbours and is only there sporadically� lack of garbage or recycling pick up at the

curb during collection days� overgrown yard and lack of yard

maintenanceLook for several of these signs that appear

together. If you suspect you are living next to a marijuana grow operation, please call our detachment at 250-656-3931 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to leave an anonymous tip.

Residents play an important role in keeping their communities safe and crime-free. With your help, we can get rid of these grow operations from our community, one at a time.

SPORTSA10 • www.peninsulanewsreview.com Friday, January 27, 2012 - PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW

Last Friday’s battle with Saanich was an exciting game that turned sour. It was a game of would-haves and could-haves, but when all was said and done, the story would have the visiting Saanich Braves downing the Peninsula Panthers 6-3 at the Panorama Recreation Centre on Jan. 20.

The home side had plenty of opportunities, out shooting the Braves 33-26, but could not solve the visitors’ net-minder Tanner McGaw who made save after save in cap-turing the win and the game’s second star.

The club will have to solve the scoring prowess of the Braves’ Ty Jones, who was named the game’s first star, if they happen to bump into the crosstown rivals come play-offs. Jones figured in five of the Braves’ six goals, manag-ing a hat trick and two helpers along the way.

The clubs were tied at three going into the third frame thanks to markers from Joe Densmore and Trevor Yee in the first period and veteran Josh Bloomenthal in the sec-ond 20 minutes, but when the third chapter in this book was written, it would be all Braves as they tallied early and often to complete the win.

The Panthers were forced to

call up Peninsula midget goal-tender Mike Corbett-Hallett, who blocked 20 of 26 shots directed his way, after both of the team’s 19-year-old goalies – Kylar Stern and Zach Wear – went down with injuries in the past three weeks. Jake Bryan, the Panthers’ captain and arguably one of the top rearguards in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League,

was also on the shelf with a lower body injury which was certainly a blow to the club. However, the Panthers are hoping that all three return for next weekend’s pair of games.

Coach Rob Armstrong was positive after the tough loss.

“Our team played a very solid two periods creating chances in the offensive zone, but also defended well and

played with confidence. The difference in the game other than Ty Jones was we did not score on our five powerplay chances and they managed to score twice on 11 opportuni-ties. They also had a penalty shot and I know there was a feeling with our players that they got a bit of a raw deal on several of the calls, but I guess that’s hockey. Maybe next time the guys in stripes will see it our way, we certainly believe it is our turn.”

Armstrong was pleased with a few of his troops.

“Chris McDonald from the back end played with purpose and intensity and I saw him rushing with the puck and was physically engaged in all three zones. And I thought that Fraser Sutherland, who is only 16 years old and getting his feet wet at this level, is start-ing to adjust to the pace and we are beginning to see him play with confidence. David Stephens, who only joined the club three weeks ago, had a couple assists and is getting better every game.”

Stephens was named third star.

The Panthers play tonight, Jan. 27, hosting the Kerry Park Islanders at 7:30 p.m. at Pan-orama Recreation [email protected]

Goalie struggles plague PanthersLorne ChanContributor

Parkland’s senior girls basketball team is on a winning streak. As of deadline, the team was unbeaten in exhibition play.

The team is a a great mix of speed and size. With Grade 10s Megan King and Kristy Gal-lagher, as well as Grade 9 Sheena Polman on the senior team the future of the pro-gram looks bright. The team plays hard and is always fun to watch.

Led by senior soccer player and first year basket-ball player Katie Kraeutner, returning Grade 11s Maddie Geary, Romy Done and Skylar Craig as well as Grade 10 standout and starter Kristy Gal-lagher, the team has had its best start in many years. Parkland has its own unique version of the triple towers with Grade 11s Kate Service and Jamie Hargreaves, as well as Polman all standing over six feet tall. They are very ath-letic and can run the floor as well as any team’s big players. The team only has two Grade 12s, Petra Bisjak, who is one of a few players that has played all four years of school basketball, as well as Kraeutner.

With the majority of the team, including injured Grade 11 Kate Lawrence and first year Grade 11 player Holly Yee all possibly returning next year, things are really looking up for the Parkland Panthers girls basketball program.

A recent survey by Leger Market-ing found that only 18 per cent of Canadian adults are familiar with exchange-traded funds. However, once they learned about the benefits of ETFs, 74 per cent decided to uti-lize them as their investment vehicle of choice. Let’s look at what makes ETFs so attractive to the knowledge-able investor.

Although ETFs have many of the same characteristics as mutual funds, their fees, as expressed in their management expense ratios,

are about one-fifth that of mutual funds.

ETFs are not actively man-aged by a fund manager. Nor do they try to beat their com-parable index; they simply try to closely track it. Since less than 20 per

cent of Canadian mutual funds suc-cessfully beat the index in any given year, the premium fees they charge are of very questionable value.

ETFs are bought and sold like a stock. There is a trading cost – as low as zero on the Claymore family of ETFs at Scotia I-Trade. More com-mon however, is the $10 to $29 per trade with other discount brokers. Since most ETF purchases are for long-term investment time horizons, this cost is minimal. The advantage becomes even more apparent when one compares the portfolio’s MER

cost, usually less than 0.5 per cent annually, to the average Canadian mutual fund MER of 2.48 per cent.

More than 220 ETFs are now available in Canada. More are being added almost monthly. They cover all sectors of the Canadian, U.S., and international economies in which one may wish to invest. Options range from entire indexes such as the TSX Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Index, down to smaller index sectors such as Cana-dian oil sands, banking, insurance, and numerous others.

ETFs exist for both the equity component of an investor’s hold-ings, as well as for fixed-income seg-ments such as bond and preferred share holdings. In short, ETFs can provide safety through diversifi-cation similar to that offered by mutual funds, but at a fraction of the cost.

Investors would not mind paying an extra two per cent in annual fees for a mutual fund, if the likelihood were high that the fund would more than make up the extra cost through even greater returns.

Unfortunately, with less than a 20 per cent chance of doing so, most mutual fund holdings would seem more of a gamble than an invest-ment.

If, by using ETFs, an investor can achieve the same risk-minimization through diversification and can invest in similar sectors as offered by mutual funds, all at an annual MER cost reduction of approximat-ing two per cent, this becomes an option to seriously be considered

by a prudent investor seeking to optimize long-term returns.
