Suspicious
fire destroys
Albion house
Abandoned property had
troubled past with police
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter

Residents of the Tamarack subdivi-

sion in Maple Ridge are expressing
relief after a notorious abandoned
house was set on fire Friday night.
Ridge Meadows RCMP and the Ma-
ple Ridge Fire Department are both
investigating the fire, which started
around 7:30 p.m. in the 23600-block of
105th Avenue, across from Planet Ice.
Both agencies believe the fire,
which caused extensive damage to
the house, was deliberately set.
“The fire was set inside the build-
ing,” said Maple Ridge Fire Chief Dane
Spence. “But we have no idea why.”
Residents in the area say the prop-
erty has long been a magnet for illegal
activity.

trees burning than I was about the
house,” said one resident, who asked

Work cut out determining flats future

New malls planned for Pitt Mead-
ows and Kwantlen lands already
chipping away at market share
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
If the Albion flats turns into a trendy shop-
ping village, will it still have big box stores?
While she likes the concept of a shopping
village, the executive-director of the Down-
town Maple Ridge Business Improvement
Association isn’t as enthusiastic about big
box stores along Lougheed Highway, and
says that how everything fits into the Albion
area plan will be up to the district to decide.
Ineke Boekhorst was at last week’s follow-
up meeting to the Albion flats brainstorm-
ing sessions that took place in October to
hammer out a plan for the area on Lougheed
Highway and 105th Avenue.
It’s possible for both the downtown and an
Albion mall to thrive, says Boekhorst, who
points out the BIA hasn’t taken a formal po-
sition on what should happen there.
“I think it sounds all very positive,” she
said Tuesday.
“The village lifestyle that they’re talking
about sounds great. I don’t really think it’s
going to hurt the downtown. It will rather
keep people in Maple Ridge shopping.”
Downtown, though, is healthy, she adds.
It’s attracting niche stores, which is what
BIA has been trying to do.
Boekhorst said more retail is needed as
Maple Ridge’s population grows and she
doesn’t perceive a lot of opposition to devel-
oping the Albion flats.
“We know we need more retail. Our popu-
lation is growing so fast and so strong.”
She acknowledges a shopping village could
still have big box stores.
“If they want to go to Walmart,” she said of
residents, “they’re going to Walmart.”
But there’s still no overall plan of what
goes where in the Albion flats, she points
SmartCentres owns most of the land along Lougheed Highway, where it proposes building village
commercial.
out, plus there are environmental and agri-
cultural limits, so it will be up the District of
Maple Ridge to determine how to fit in ev-
erything.
Most of the flats lie within the Agricultural
Land Reserve, and the area is laced with
streams which require setbacks of 15 or 30
metres, resulting in only 180 acres of devel-
opable land, according to one of the back-
ground reports written by G.P. Rollo and
Associates for the planning process.
Last week’s meeting had consultant Mark
Holland review what came out of the two-
day brainstorming session in October, in
particular Concepts A and B, which included
shopping and recreation on the east side of
105th Avenue, ruling out any development
on the west side of that road.
But last week, an option proposed by
SmartCentres called for intensive develop-
SmartCentres
ment of the west side of 105th Avenue, with
village shopping, residential and industrial
use proposed of the land where SmartCen-
tres owns most of its 30 acres in the area.
But it’s less likely the Agricultural Land
Commission will allow land on the west side
of 105th to be removed because of its high
quality soil, while the ALC considers east of
105th Avenue more difficult to farm because
it’s already used for other purposes.
That now will be considered by Holland
and his team as he writes his report for
council.
Retail consultant Paul Rollo told the Tues-
day meeting of council that there is strong
demand for all uses of land in the area.
He said by 2015, Maple Ridge’s growing
population could support another 120,000 to
265,000 sq. feet of commercial space.
However, one of the things you want to do
is protect the downtown and “not impede its
growth with development outside the down-
town that doesn’t fit properly.”
In his background report in September for
the Albion plan, Rollo looks at three shop-
ping scenarios facing Maple Ridge.
If Kwantlen First Nations opens its 300,000 sq.
ft shopping centre on Lougheed Highway at
250th Street – then only 190,000 sq. ft of shop-
ping would be needed in Albion flats by 2015.
And if another 400,000 sq. ft shopping cen-
tre opens in Pitt Meadows, (SmartCentres
recently filed a development application for
its property on Lougheed, just west of 200th
Street) – then only 112,000 sq. ft of new shop-
ping would be needed in Albion flats. If that
scenario is projected out another 10 years,
then only 240,000 sq. ft would be needed.
If neither Pitt Meadows nor Kwantlen proj-
ect proceeds, Albion would need 303,000 sq.
ft. of shopping space.
All of the existing concepts proposed so far
exceed that figure.
Concept A, which evolved from the Octo-
ber brainstorming session, calls for 600,000
sq. ft. of commercial/mixed use.
Concept B, calls for 450,000 sq. ft. of com-
mercial/mixed use.
SmartCentre’s proposal for the west side
of 105th Avenue only calls for 390,000 sq. ft of
“village commercial.”
If Albion develops into a pedestrian-ori-
ented mall, it could also drain developer’s
dollars from the downtown. Allowing resi-
dential in Albion could also stall downtown
development, the report says.
For Christian Cowley, with the Community
Education on Environment and Develop-
ment Centre, Albion isn’t the place for new
shopping.
Other new commercial centres in Maple
Ridge are already identified in the official
community plan.
“They’re already there. We do have profes-
sional planners,” said Cowley.
For instance, Dewdney Trunk Road makes
more sense for most Maple Ridge residents,
he added.

Bylaw in works to limit forest fire threat in sprawling burbs

by Phil Mel nyc hu k
staff reporter
The message from the B.C. For-
est Service is an obvious one
– each year, the number of high-
fire hazard days in Lower Main-
land is increasing.
So Maple Ridge Fire Chief Peter
Grootendorst agrees, it’s just a
matter of time before a forest fire
starts here – and if one ever gets
going, it could turn into a raging
monster.
“That’s basically what they’re
saying,” he says of the forest ser-
vice’s predictions.
Compared to the sparsely treed
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS slopes in Kelowna, the dense for-
(From left) Firefighters Damon Hansen, Rob Macdonald and Roy Snow, with a est on the coast could be tougher
Polaris Ranger Crew that they use to fight small forest fires. to fight, and Maple Ridge, with its
extensive suburbs that bump into
the forest, is one of those most at
risk from an interface fire.
Areas particularly vulner-
able stretch from Silver Valley
to Whonnock, particularly on
south-facing slopes that dry out
and heat up quickly.
Thornhill is another high-risk
area.
To try to minimize that, the fire
department is working on a by-
law to reduce the risk of homes
burning. Once the public and
builders give their input, the de-
partment will present it to coun-
cil in the new year.
It likely will require that plans
for new subdivisions in high-
hazard areas be reviewed by a
professional forester, who will
then recommend a fire preven-
tion plan.
Similar measures are required
for homes built in flood plains
or those with unstable slopes or
soils, Grootendorst pointed out.
The bylaw could require cut-
ting of certain trees in a new
subdivision to minimize the fire
hazard, use of non-combustible
roofing or building materials and
minimum distances, such as 10
metres from the nearest conifer
or 30 metres from the edge of the
forest.
Grootendorst said small chang-
es can make a big difference in
helping a home withstand a for-
est fire. Putting screens around
the perimeters of sundecks can
prevent sparks blowing in be-
neath and catching fire.

Season of giving
It’s estimated the average Canadian will spend
more than $1,100 this Christmas season buying gifts,
entertaining, traveling to be with family or friends
for the holidays.
In total, we’ll spend more than $28 billion in retail
stores in the month of December.
But the greatest gift of all won’t drain your wallet
or stress the limit on your credit card.
It’s you.
According to Volunteer Canada, 12.5 million Cana-
dians give some of their free time to help out in their
communities. They’re coaches, mentors, advocates,
activists, firefighters. They staff the offices of com-
munity organizations, serve on their boards of direc-
tors, raise money to keep those organizations going.
They put on or help out at community events. They
help care for and comfort people in need, or who just
require a friend or sympathetic ear. They cut grass,
shovel snow, clean ravines and shorelines. They
walk dogs, shelter cats, tend homeless snakes, raise
fish so creeks and streams may teem with life. They
construct, create and calculate.
Volunteers touch every aspect of our daily lives.
They’re the threads that weave together the fabric of
our society. They’re the foundation for our quality of
life. Volunteers are selfless, but the reward they get
from giving their time and abilities are totally self-
ish—the warm feeling when a shut-in senior thanks
them for dropping off lunch, the damp cheek from
a dog happy to be liberated for a half hour from the
shelter, the pride of a job well done when the keys to
a new home are handed to a family that otherwise
could have never afforded a place of their own, the
high-five from a kid who’s finally mastered a corner
kick.
The gift of volunteering needs no batteries. It won’t
harm the environment. And it doesn’t cost any mon-
ey. It can be a large gift of many hours a week, or
a small one. All it takes is desire and commitment.
It’s politics, not cancer research

contest.
I mention this
in case you forgot
about Moira Stilwell,
the Vancouver radi-
ologist who led the
way into the post-
Gordon Campbell B.C. Views
Tom Fletcher
era in late Novem-
ber.
Stilwell did her
own diagnosis on the harmonized
sales tax and concurred with main-
stream economic theory. It’s efficient
and it promotes personal savings, as
well as business investment.
In medicine, if you believe the pa-
tient has the right prescription to im-
prove her health, you don’t then look
for ways to discontinue that medica-
tion as quickly as possible.
But that’s the situation we have with
our less scientific candidates.
Clark didn’t always understand the
HST, but she consistently supported it
on her radio show before her splashy
re-entry into politics last week.
So the lone “outsider” becomes the
fifth candidate to replace Campbell,
after endorsing the tax that led to his
sudden retirement.
So apparently, the five are unani-
mous that the HST is a great idea, and
all but Stilwell want to get rid of it as
quickly as possible.
One after another, the cabinet vet-
erans sought to distance themselves.
Prognosis of patient not good, Abbott
intoned.
Then Kevin Falcon scrubbed in. Get
the vote done as soon as possible, and
maybe the HST can be revived if we
slice a point or two off.
Mike de Jong’s outlook was, well,
grave. Cutting the rate would be like
putting lipstick on the scars. This
patient is terminal, so let’s pull the
plug as inexpensively as possible. An
election-style vote would cost $30 mil-
lion, but a mail-in ballot could be done
for less than half of that.
By the time Clark arrived, the HST
was a palliative care situation. Her
only option for a fresh perspective was
to move toward assisted suicide. OK,
let’s scrap the referendum, she said.
It’s doomed anyway. Let’s go back to
the legislature and have a “genuine
free vote,” where B.C. Liberal MLAs
can reverse their earlier votes and
throw it out.
There are so many things wrong
with this idea that it’s hard to know
where to start. Mistake, said Abbott.
“A real blunder,” said Falcon. De
Jong said if he had to vote on the HST
again, he’d support it like he did the
first time.
(NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston
also believes scrapping the referen-
dum now would be dumb, and it’s not
often you’ll find him agreeing with
Falcon.)
Clark’s “genuine” free vote would
have to take place before she even
them to do.
This plan would be a disaster. It
shows that while Clark spent the last
four years getting in touch with fami-
lies on her radio show, she lost touch
with political reality.
So apparently, the five are
unanimous that the HST is
a great idea, and all but
Stilwell want to get rid of
it as quickly as possible.
Which brings us back to Stilwell.
When I reached her on the campaign
trail, she reaffirmed her support, and
vowed again to campaign for the HST.
Stilwell said people have earned the
right to have a direct say, and she is
“perplexed” that Clark would suggest
taking that away. Stilwell remains
hopeful that other benefits of the
HST can still be discussed, giving it a
chance for public support.
In short, she remains logical and
consistent in her approach. It’s no
wonder she is given no chance to win.

I totally agree with your premise that

– and neither did Joan Smith if you read
as far as the last paragraph of the letter.
She objected to how the newspaper han-
dled the act.
But what I don’t get is why you respond-

I am reading from your letter is: going all
out once a year to help the poor is OK and
highly laudable, and doing it all year long
from a basis of faith or altruism is abso-
lutely appalling; and exploiting the poor
in Third World countries by multina-
tional corporations is terrible (and I’m in
total agreement with that), but exploiting
women sexually here is perfectly accept-
able because they are “self-employed”
and not slaves to some corporation.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Kids don’t care where charity comes
from (Letters, Dec. 8).
It’s obvious that you don’t know strip-
pers or poor families, Mr. Wilmot. I’m go-
ing to take a moment and tell you about
both. Unfortunately, I’m not a religious
prude. So this may disappoint you.
I come from a low-income family. My
mother has been disabled for nearly two
decades and she is unemployable. Our
family received the local Christmas ham-
per every year, until we discovered that
our hamper had been associated with the
first stripping event back in 1994.
I remember my mom sitting down and
explaining to us that women were tak-
ing their clothes off’ to earn money for
donations. She then asked us whether or
not we thought that receiving donations
from that was right or wrong.
My mother didn’t treat us like we were
stupid. We were old enough to under-
stand the concept of personal morality
and we weighed out different aspects of
women willingly stripping for charity.
My siblings and I then decided we
didn’t want the hamper anymore. While
we were aware of a woman’s choice to
take part in the event, it made us feel bad
that a woman would have to undress for
men so we could have food or toys. We
managed with less. I don’t regret it.
Trust me. Needy kids care. Stop think-
ing that children have no moral intel-
ligence. I never wore name brand shoes
I love all that you hate.
With these poor soldiers fighting in far off
places, who can’t be with their families, maybe
you could change places with them.
If everyone lived the songs of Christmas the,
world would be a better place. By listening to
them I feel that maybe one day, and I pray for
one day that there will be peace on earth.
or clothes as a child. I was well educated
on the subject. I knew where they came
from and I knew tiny fingers made them.
I’m glad I made the choices I did.
As an adult, I’ve known strippers. I have
no issue with strippers. I’ve spent time in
the homes of a stripper or two and I can
assure you that they do not live high off
the hog. Many strippers start to strip be-
cause they end up in the same position
the needy families are in, not because
they want to be self-employed or to en-
tertain. Many of the strippers take part in
this event because they were previously
in that situation. Ironic, no?
This whole idea where people are
against donations coming from a ‘strip-a-
thon’ isn’t because the donation is coming
from strippers. I’m sure many strippers
donate to charities when they can and
if a group of strippers wished to donate
from their income, then more power to
them. The problem everyone has is with
the event overall.
It’s depressing that these women need
to strip to coax money out of people’s
hands to give to needy children. The
strippers are not the depraved part of
all of this; the people paying them dur-
ing this event are. Why must individuals
watch women undress to want to help
hungry children, who ultimately become
the excuse? Why not donate straight to
the hamper? Must a patron’s sexual de-
sires be sated before poor children can
eat? That depravity speaks for itself.

Not lest be judged
EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Kids don’t care where charity comes
from (Letters, Dec. 8).
When I was in high school, I read a
story in French class called Le Jongleur
de Notre Dame, by Guy de Maupassant.
It was a story of a poor, uneducated jug-
gler who wanted to become a monk. Be-
ing of good heart, the monks allowed him
to stay at the Abbey and do chores for his
food and a place to sleep, but, of course,
he could not become a monk.
Late at night they heard noises coming
from the chapel and decided to hide the
next night to find out what was going on.
As they watched from their hiding place,
they saw the juggler performing his art
until he worked up quite a sweat. They
decided to confront him for his blasphe-
my and as they entered the chapel they
saw the statue of the Virgin Mary come
to life, smile at the juggler and wipe the
sweat from his brow. He was then accept-
ed as a monk.
There have been so many letters about
the strippers who want to raise money for
the Christmas hamper. I think it is great.
Judge not lest you be judged. It would be
worth your while to read the story by de
Maupassant. He has a better way with
words than I. I cried when I read it and
still do when I see it performed or told.

“As long as they
hold the lease, we’ll be
there,” he says.
He rejects the argu-
ment that Loblaw must
bring wages down in or-
der to remain competi-
tive. Loblaw is Canada’s
largest food distributor,
and employs close to
140,000 workers coast-
to-coast, making it one
of the largest private
sector employers in the
country. In 2008, the
year the Maple Ridge
strike began, the com-
pany posted a profit of
$545 million on sales of
$30.8 billion.
The UFCW Local 1518
members had been
working at the local out-
let under an expired con-
tract since 2004. Under
the old contract, long-
time workers made in
the $20-per-hour range,
with benefits, accord-
ing to Neufeld. Under
a new contract Loblaw
wants them to sign,
most workers would top
out at $11.90, with no
benefits.
“Our employees at
Safeway and Save-on-
Foods are some of the
best paid food workers
in North America,” says
Neufeld. “And those
companies are doing
just fine. This is about
corporate greed.
“It’s not fair or justi-
fied in any way shape or
form.”
While the union is
ready to negotiate, Lo-
blaw has so far refused
to budge. As a result,
both parties haven’t
talked in close to a year.
Today, hundreds of
union members, activ-
ists and community
members are expected
to take part in a rally
marking the second an-
niversary of the strike,
and hopefully raise
enough noise to bring
Loblaw back to the bar-
gaining table.
Back on the picket
line, the striking em-
ployees are aware of the
greater implications of
their strike.
“They are trying to
bust the union,” says
Laura Nicolai, who up
until two years ago
worked at Extra Foods
as a cashier. “But we’re
not going to let them.
We are in this for the
long haul.”
The pharmacy at the
Extra Foods remains
open, and while custom-
ers are still technically
crossing the picket line,
the picketers are not
interfering with people
filling their prescrip-
tions. However, Neufeld
said the union is asking
people to fill their pre-
scriptions elsewhere if
they can.
“[The customers] have
gotten used to us being
out here,” says Nicolai.
“It’s become a way of
life.”
Some offer words of
encouragement, some
ask if there’s been any
progress. However, not
everyone in the commu-
nity has been support-
ive of their cause.
One elderly pharmacy
patron spews vitriol
at the picketers as she
walks into the store,
telling them to get back
to work.
“Come here and say
that,” says one of the
women manning the
picket line.
“You heard me loud
and clear,” the women
screams back.
The half dozen picket-
ers shake their heads at
the exchange.
“It seems there’s still
some nasty people out
there,” says Storey.
The strikers each put
in 32 hours a week on
the picket line, and for
that the union pays them
a strike wage. While
Neufeld calls the wage
“substantial,” it is still
less than the workers
were making before.
Nicolai says she
doesn’t know if she can
go back to working for
Extra Foods should the
strike end; too much
damage has been done.
“They haven’t respect-
ed us, and they haven’t
respected this commu-
nity,” Nicolai says.
• The rally begins
today [Wednesday]
at noon in front of the
Extra Foods on Dew-

tacey Cody’s broth-
er is nothing like he
used to be.
The Langley school
trustee keeps a photo
of Blair on her bedside
table and lights a candle
for him every night. In
the photo, Blair is about
four. He’s wearing a
striped T-shirt and his
hair is short, shiny and
neat. His right hand is
burrowing expectantly
in his mother’s purse.
His sister has another
photo. It shows her arms
lovingly wrapped around
him. His hair is neatly cut
and his beard trimmed.
Under his half-closed
lids, it is impossible to
miss the unfocused eyes
and what that means.
A few inches lower, a
breathing tube protrudes
from his throat.
The little boy who grew
up into a slim, tall young
man with flowing hair
and long beard now lies
in a hospital room, dead
to the world. Blair Cody
is unrecognizable to his
sister, Stacey Cody, re-
duced to a shell of the
man he used to be.
Blair Cody’s life had
gone off the rails. Much

cially by his older sister,

to Blair, she said.
“He found Christ at

was beginning to turn his
life around.”

SD42 still paying former CFO
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows
School District paid out former secre-
tary treasurer Don Woytowich more
than $128,000 last school year, despite
the fact he hasn’t been employed by
the district since May 2009.
Woytowich, the district’s chief fi-
nancial officer, left School District No.
42 after eight years in what staff de-
scribed at the time as a health-related
departure.
Board chair Ken Clarkson previ-
ously confirmed the Maple Ridge-
Pitt Meadows Board of Education
approved an 18-month paid medical
leave totaling $235,000 last year for
Woytowich, but would not elaborate
why the district was paying out Woy-
towich, and not long-term disability
insurance.
The board has long remained silent
on the issue, citing a confidentiality
agreement with Woytowich.
The pay-out was included in the dis-
trict’s Statement of Financial Informa-
tion report, which includes salaries of
employees above $75,000 per year.
According to the report, the district
Excavator recovered after midnight ride
A 911 call Monday led to the arrest of
29-year-old man well-known to police.
Ridge Meadows RCMP were called
to the 19600-block of Airport Way in
Pitt Meadows at 3:30 a.m. after an exca-
vator was spotted in the middle of the
road. As officers approached the large
machine, the suspect exited it and
started to run away. One of the police
officers ran after and caught him. The
excavator is worth about $300,000 and
was taken from a nearby work site.
“This clearly illustrates how police
work in conjunction with our citizens,
who are our eyes and ears in our com-
munities,” said Staff Sgt. Andrew Mar-
tin. “The suspect in this matter is well
known for all types of property crimes,
and it’s hard to say if we would have
gotten this expensive machine back, or
what shape it would’ve been in, if we
hadn’t received the call when we did.”
The suspect was held in police cus-
tody for a court appearance later that
day.
Tow truck impounded
A tow truck driver lost his driver’s
license for 90 days and had his truck
impounded for 30 days Friday night
after police discovered him operating
his company’s tow truck while under
the influence of alcohol.

More than 4,000 winter coats,
sweaters, scarves, toques and
other items of warm clothing,
as well as toys, were collected
for those in need from Nov.
15-30.
“This is the most we’ve ever
had,” said GVHBA president
and CEO Peter Simpson.
“We’ve by far exceeded our
expectations and set a new re-
cord as well.”
Coats were collected at 34
GVHBA member companies
in 13 different Metro Vancou-
ver municipalities, including
the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows
News and other Black Press
community newspaper offices.

With Metro Vancouver’s gen-
erosity, and with help from
Cintas, Black Press collected
and delivered 1,500 coats and
warm articles of clothing to the
Coats for Kids cause; donations
will be distributed through the
LMCB and various agencies
throughout Metro Vancouver.
Simpson thanked Black Press
for its participation and noted
the company’s efforts “really
helped put us over the 4,000
mark.”
“The response to Coats for
Kids was phenomenal,” said
Simpson.
“The public very generously
opened their closets and their
hearts ... many of them brought
in brand-new items.”
The need is greater than it
ever has been, said LMCB ex-
ecutive director Chris Bayliss.
Over the past three years, he
has noticed demand increas-
ing, and this year, it’s the busi-
est yet.
“The lineups are crazy. It’s
the craziest we’ve ever seen.
We’re booming busy every
minute. We put out a couple of
boxfuls [of coats] every couple
of hours,” Bayliss said, and

added they’re also handing out
$10,000 a day in food vouchers.
“It’s frantic.”
At least 70 per cent of the
families who use the LMCB
have jobs – they simply don’t
make enough money to make
ends meet, he noted.
“Keeping someone warm
with a donated coat is
like giving them a big
hug that says we care.”
Candy Hodson, Black Press
Black Press senior vice-pres-
ident of sales and marketing
Candy Hodson was pleased
to see the initiative embraced
with such enthusiasm by the
company and the public.
“It is so heartwarming to see
the profound impact we can
have in supporting charities at
this time of year,” Hodson said.
“Keeping someone warm

Come All Ye Faithful to sing-along

Kick off Christmas with
carols at Maple Ridge
Baptist Church

C
hristmas and carols
go together, much like
wine and cheese. But
belting out the songs to ring in
the season is becoming a lost
art, a ghost of Christmas past.
It’s why Euna Haynes has
revived the tradition – a sing-
along to bring resounding joy.
“Kick off you Christmas with
a burst of joy, that’s what it’s
all about,” says Haynes, who
first organized a carolling ses-
sion at the Maple Ridge Bap-
tist last year.
The event was so popular,
it was hard not to stage a re-
peat.
The word carol, or carole,
is a medieval word of French
and Anglo-Norman origin, be-
lieved to mean a dance song or
a circle dance accompanied by
singing
For Haynes, who taught pia-
no for 30 years, carols are all
about community.
“It gives us a chance to enjoy
each other and just enjoy the
glory of Christmas,” she says.
Her favourite old-time carol
is In the Bleak Midwinter, a

Skapski and Piluso key in helping Jr. B Flames win fifth straight
by Grant G ra n g e r
contributor
The Ridge Meadows Flames are
on fire. Their goalie, Mackenzie
Skapski, is white hot. And forward
Paul Piluso’s stick had some heat
to it on the weekend.
The Flames extended their win
streak to five games with a pair of
wins on the weekend, including a
spectacular 44-save performance
by Skapski at Planet Ice on Friday
night.
Skapski’s stellar display spear-
headed the Flames to a 3-2 victory
over the Richmond Sockeyes, a pe-
rennial powerhouse in the Pacific
International Junior B Hockey
League, followed the next night by
an 8-2 triumph over the hometown
Game time
• Ridge Meadows Flames vs. Squamish
Wolfpack.
• Planet Ice, Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Squamish Wolfpack.
Handing a strong squad like the
Sockeyes just their fourth loss of
the season can be a tall task. Some
thievery helps. The 16-year-old
Skapski certainly stood tall Fri-
day in stealing the victory for the
Flames, which every successful
team needs once in a while.
“Sometimes you have to make
saves you shouldn’t make at all,”
said Flames head coach Tavis
Eaton. “They’re (Sockeyes) so well
coached, they’ve been doing this
for so long, they’re a good team.”
After a scoreless first period,
Sean Kavanagh and Paul Piluso
scored power-play goals four min-
utes apart midway through the
second.
Eli Wiebe finally got Richmond
on the board by beating Skapski
with two seconds left in the sec-
ond frame on the Sockeyes’ 33rd
shot of the game.

Bishop bows out in quarter-finals

West Coast Express would proudly like to acknowledge and thank the following sponsors:

Provincial boxing champion
Dylan Bishop of Maple Ridge
made it to the quarter-finals
of the Canadian senior boxing
championships in Quebec City
last week.
Bishop won his opening light
welterweight (64-kilograms)
match last Wednesday, defeat-
ing Flavio Michel of Quebec on
points, 19-9.
On Thursday, however, Bishop
was defeated on points, 6-2, by
Nova Scotia champion Alonzo
Johnson.
“We’re expecting big things
from Dylan in the next little
while,” Maple Ridge Boxing
Club coach Alex Nelson said of
the 21-year-old Bishop. “He’s an
up-and-comer for sure.”
Clubmate Dave Funk, who
Bishop defeated in the provincial
final, also went to Quebec City,
but dropped down to the 60-kg
lightweight category. Funk,
however, lost 14-5 on points to
Jason Neulan of Manitoba in a
first-round bout.
Nelson said Funk, 32, will

To: Doug, Family and Friends

Christmas came early for me this year, in an odd sort of
way. On October 10th I broke my ankle and have been
basically house bound since. During this time I have been
overwhelmed with the loving support of family and friends,
in the true spirit of giving. To all these people my heartfelt
thanks and warmest wishes for a joyous Christmas. Most
of all, to my wonderful husband, Doug, who has been there
for me every moment. Love to you all.
From: Shireen King
To: Troy, Makena and Kali
I want to send a greeting to my fabulous husband Troy
