City bylaws pushing out pot grow ops

No police busts in Pitt Meadows in 2010 and just one
inspection under marijuana bylaw
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
Bylaws that target marijuana
grow operations in the City of Pitt
Meadows have nearly stamped
out the illegal enterprise, accord-
ing to figures released by the mu-
nicipality and police.
Not one grow op was busted
by RCMP in Pitt Meadows last
year, while only one inspection
was conducted under the city’s
marijuana grow operation bylaw,
which targets houses with abnor-
mally high energy usage – more
than 93 kilowatt-hours of electric-
ity per day.
At the beginning of January,

Clear, loud voice for North Alouette Bell: Still

Collection of 10 environment not used
groups considering
‘consensus statement’
on river
to HST tax
Recall from front

by Phil M elnyc h u k Workers are at the halfway

staff reporter
They’re hoping a few tiny voices
can grow into one big one – that will
get the attention of government and
find a way to protect the North Alou-
ette River.
The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows En-
vironmental Council, a loose collec-
tion of 10 groups, is considering a re-
quest to give unanimous support to a
“consensus statement” on the river.
“For a long time we’ve been think-
ing we need a very, very big voice
to speak to government and federal
politicians … because they’re dis-
regarding anything that’s small,”
environmentalist Jack Emberly ex-
plained Monday.
He has been lobbying for more en-
forcement of environmental regula-
tions along the North Alouette River
for the past few years.
The statement calls for federal
Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Gail Shea to review how the depart-
ment enforces the Fisheries Act.
It also wants the minister to study
how the department works with the
federal and provincial ministries of
environment “over concerns about
the lack of effective and efficient pro-
tection of the Alouette watershed,”
and to address “deficiencies” in how
it investigated violations of the Fish-
eries Act.
Emberly has reviewed DFO’s and
Environment Canada’s response to
the death of juvenile fish in the North
Alouette and reports of excavation in
the river in May 2009. He notes the
confusion between the departments
and that no one visited the site until
the next day.
When he collected some dead fish
for possible biological testing, the
DFO refused to take them.
The Golden Eagle Group installed a 45-centimetre wide water intake pipe into the North Alouette without a water licence in May 2009.
Also during that month, Golden
Eagle Group installed a 45-centime-
tre wide water intake pipe into the
North Alouette without a water li-
cence.
The company denies any connec-
tion between the fish kill and the in-
stallation of the pipe.
The company, part of Aquilini In-
vestment Group, admitted it put in
the pipe and pumped at least 100,000
litres of water in order to save a cran-
berry field.
The provincial government still
hasn’t decided whether to lay charg-
es in that instance.
The issue is already getting support
from a Maple Ridge councillor, even
though the incident took place on a
Pitt Meadows section of the river.
Cheryl Ashlie wants the issue put
on a future agenda of council for dis-
cussion. She told Emberly that coun-
cil finds it unacceptable that there
are no answers about why the fish
died and that no one is being held ac-
countable.
She credits him for staying on the
issue.
“If it wasn’t for people like that,
these things would just go by the
wayside.”
While Emberly wrote the state-
ment, the CEED Centre is support-
ing it and recommending the local
environmental groups support it.
Christian Cowley, at the CEED cen-
tre, said the North Alouette is an im-
portant issue.
The members of the environmen-
tal council, which only had its second
meeting in five years, must be unani-
mous on the statement, he said. Most
of the council’s action takes place on-
line.
If all the members approve the
statement in the next few weeks,
Cowley expects it to have an effect.
“Yes, because it’s been repeatedly
stated by our elected representa-
THE NEWS/files
tives that until people speak loudly
on issues with a degree of consen-
sus, then it’s very difficult for them
to respond.”
Cowley said he understands that
politicians get a wide range of re-
quests on issues, so it has to be clear
that this is what the community
wants.
The statement also wants the min-
ister to declare that Fisheries can
test fish samples and that those re-
sults should be made public.
It also wants the minister to con-
vince the public that the department
will never again ignore reports from
residents about disruption and dis-
turbance of the river bank that hap-
pened before the fish kill.
Acting executive-director of ARMS
Abby Cruickshank was at Monday’s
meeting and said, barring a few ed-
iting changes, the statement should
get support of her group when direc-
tors meet Jan. 31.
point in Oak Bay-Gordon
Head where they’re trying to
unseat MLA Ida Chong.
They need to collect about
16,000 names and so far have
only 8,000.
“So we’re going to head over
there next weekend and help
out and learn all we can,” said
Corisa Bell who’s organizing
the Maple Ridge campaign.
They hope they can apply
that knowledge to their own
campaign which starts Feb. 26
after which they have 60 days
to collect just more than 14,000
signatures.
The fact that some Liberal
leadership candidates are
calling for advancing the HST
referendum from September
to spring doesn’t matter to
Bell.
Neither does Christy Clark’s
suggestion about allowing
MLAs a free vote in the legis-
lature.
Liberals have already voted
– for the HST and she doubts
they’d change their minds. “I
don’t believe that for a mo-
ment.
“The majority of people still
do not trust the Liberals.
“Nothing the Liberals say
makes a difference so how can
you trust them at this point?”
When anti-HST campaign-
ers wanted to hold the refer-
endum earlier, the Liberals
said that was impossible. Now
some leadership candidates
say that September date can
be changed.
“The entire time they’ve
been saying this isn’t possible
so we have to assume what
they’ve been saying isn’t true.
There’s just zero faith in the
Liberal party at this time.”

Downtown makeover, the final chapter starts Jan.31
Open house takes
place Jan. 26
by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
Just when you thought
the dump trucks and ditch
diggers had departed for
good, the final part of Ma-
ple Ridge’s downtown’s
makeover is about to get
underway.
An open house takes
place Jan. 26 (3 p.m. mu-
nicipal hall) to show the
design for the remaining
block, between McIntosh
Avenue and Dewdney
Trunk Road, in the make
over of 224th Street.
The work basically in-
volves rebuilding the
road, sidewalks and sew-
ers and installing street
furniture and trees in a
continuation of the work
done last summer between
Memorial Peace Park and
Lougheed Highway.
Works starts Jan. 31,
with a target date of the
end of March for comple-
tion. To ensure everyone
nearby had input into the
last phase, the project li-
aison committee held an
open house last summer.
After balancing out
views of residents and
business as well as costs
and practicality, work
hours were set from be-
tween 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.,
although most of the work
on the final stage of the
Downtown Enhancement
Project will be done be-
tween 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
When it comes to laying
down the asphalt how-
ever, paving will be done
between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
When complete, all of
224th Street between
Dewdney Trunk Road
and Lougheed Highway,
as well as Lougheed from
224th to 222nd streets,
will have been renovated,
thanks to funding sharing
between Maple Ridge and
the two senior govern-
ments.
While the work is being
done, northbound traf-
fic will be detoured on to
222nd and 223rd streets
while a parking lane and
southbound lane will be
kept open for most of the
time.
However, when under-
ground utilities are being
connected, there won’t be
a parking lane and only a
southbound lane for traf-
fic.
And even if the referendum
resoundly defeats the HST,
Bell questions whether the
government would honour
the result and cancel the tax.
While the tax, which com-
bines the seven per cent pro-
vincial sales tax with the five
per cent goods and service
tax, has been in place for six
months, Bell says isn’t getting
used to it. Most goods and ser-
vices didn’t see their tax rates
change but restaurant meals
and hairdressing are two ar-
eas where people now have to
pay another seven per cent.
“Nobody is used to it. All the
feedback is the HST is devas-
tating people.”

Red carpet
Maple Ridge is perfectly positioned to be one of
Target’s first Canadian targets.
The district is just about embark on the third
phase of the downtown renovation project, which
has so far seen water fountains added to Memo-
rial Peace Park, new sidewalks, benches and lamp
posts, decorative stamped-concrete crosswalks
and sidewalk mosaics, as well as new trees, not to
mention water and sewer improvements and fibre
optic lines buried beneath the new pavement.
The final part of the project, from the park on
224th Street to Dewdney Trunk Road, will take
place in February and March.
In all, the project – funded by the municipal, pro-
vincial and federal governments, cost $5.6 million.
And it only enhances the view of the big beautiful
brick box that is the anchor of Haney Place Mall.
Not even the urban-looking bank that just opened
at the corner of 224th Street can hide it.
But there is hope. Target Corp. purchased 220
Zellers stores across Canada last week for $1.8 bil-
lion. The U.S. retailer plans to spend about a billion
more to renovate and convert at least 150 of them
to Target stores.
We hope the downtown Maple Ridge mall is in
its crosshairs.
With all the street renovations, the new bank at
the mall and a pending announcement of a new
major tenant there, all the new apartments and
townhouses being build around downtown, the
dismantling of Northumberland court, plans for a
hotel at the south end of 224th Street, as well as
new incentives such as tax exemptions and fee dis-
counts for developers to build downtown, the time
is right to fix up the mall.
We think all the discussion over the Albion flats
has shown clearly the need for more commercial
development in Maple Ridge.
Forget the welcome mat, the district should roll

rank smell of the fail-
ing effort in Oak Bay.
Next up in this
venomous venture is
Vernon, starting on
March 15, Fight HST
maestro Bill Vander
Zalm vowed in a B.C. Views
swing through the Tom Fletcher
unlucky North Okana-
gan city last week.
“More canvassers are signing up in Oak
Bay-Gordon Head to help put recall over
the top there,” Vander Zalm bragged in a
news release describing a standing-room-
only crowd in Vernon.
“We had a terrific meeting in a snowy
Kamloops last night with 45 canvassers to
kick off that campaign, and now this! It’s
faaaaantastic!”
This is a change to Vander Zalm’s tune
on the bid to muscle out Science and
Universities Minister Ida Chong.
The previous week he posted an open
letter to supporters pleading for money
and volunteers, while conceding that the
cherry-picked swing constituency in sub-
urban Victoria was still less than halfway
to its goal with time running out.
Former Social Credit attorney general
Brian Smith and former NDP premier
Dan Miller both spoke out to denounce
this anti-tax recall as inappropriate.
Smith told me about Oak Bay residents
being approached repeatedly after refus-
ing to sign the Chong petition. He called
it “abuse.”
But apparently Chong’s central message
nizer told Kamloops This Week he was
concerned about recall canvassers being
diverted to work on NDP leadership cam-
paigns. Nope, nothing partisan there.
As the U.S. pondered the role of angry,
threatening rhetoric in politics, B.C.’s act-
ing Chief Electoral Officer Craig James
was invited on CKNW radio to describe
the hate mail he received after rejecting
the first version of the Oak Bay-Gordon
Head petition for having too many words.
(This delayed it for all of a week.)
There were hundreds of e-mails to this
mild-mannered legislature clerk, urged
on by a typical screed sent out by Fight
HST demanding his resignation.
One of the milder missives wished
James a slow death from cancer. More se-
rious threats and death wishes prompted
police to provide security to his home and
the Elections BC office.
Fight HST ringmaster Chris Delaney,
along with the NDP-affiliated recall
organizer for Oak Bay, downplayed this.
Delaney suggested the timing was suspi-
cious, as per his earlier baseless attacks
on James’ impartiality.
Vander Zalm also muttered about the
government working with James and
unspecified elements of the “Big Corpo-
rate Media” to scuttle the recall. This is
the latest vision to emerge from the Fight
HST clown car of conspiracy theories.
Previous scenarios featured Canada
being taken over by the European Union,
and the shopworn plot to impose world
government in the name of global warm-
ing.
Delaney recently cranked out a new con-
spiracy. The B.C. Liberals are forcing B.C.
Hydro to undertake expensive repairs to
dams and transmission facilities, not to
expand or prevent further blackouts in
downtown Vancouver, but to make B.C.
Hydro go broke. Then they’re going to sell
it off to General Electric.
The B.C. Liberals are forcing B.C.
Hydro to undertake expensive
repairs to dams and transmission
facilities, not to expand or
prevent further blackouts in
downtown Vancouver, but to
make B.C. Hydro go broke.
This is a variation on a loopy theory
advanced by Rafe Mair, wherein Gordon
Campbell plots to dam the Fraser River
and then sell Hydro off to GE.
NDP leadership candidates would be
wise to follow Miller’s lead and distance
themselves from this increasingly toxic
exercise.

What happens when
no more ‘pot of gold?’
EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Feeling a little ripped off in Albion (Letters, Jan.
12).
Bang on, Ian Strachan. I’ve been harping on that point
for the last two years.
I am decidedly pro-development, but am amazed that
we seem to lack two things: a thoughtful plan in place
that is not just the general guideline, which is the OCP;
and a vision for community development that could be
considered sustainable.
Livable communities are ones in which, as Mr. Strachan
points out, can access local services and amenities within
the confines of their own neighborhoods.
Yes, we receive tax revenue from residential develop-
ment through development cost charges and property
taxes, but it also costs the municipality to maintain and
upgrade the infrastructure as well.
Finally, what happens when we max out residential de-
velopment and the ‘pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow
no longer exists?
Development is great, but let’s encourage commercial
and retail zoning to ease the burden on the taxpayers and
foster intelligently designed communities so that we’re
not spending most of our waking hours in the family ve-
hicle dodging potholes and patchwork on 240th Street in
a mad dash to get out to the nearest mall on the other
side of town, or worse.

The truth about what
our water rates pay for
EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Judge for yourself, but Surrey has water metering
(Letters, Jan. 12).
Water is a basic necessity and should not be used as a tool
for extortion, just as hydro and natural gas rates are. These
are not luxuries, and for people on limited income, these
ever-increasing ideas of squeezing more and more money
out of us is unconscionable.
Now, we see Anne Rostvig telling us education is rather
futile because, “It is not infallible,” and, “ We are too lazy
and too uncaring to comply.”
Nothing is infallible.
I think Ms. Rostvig is selling us short. This is exactly how
‘Big Brother’ seems to think also. Furthermore, she has the
same philosophy that people only learn when we hit them
in the pocket book.
This is the very same logic as ICBC, B.C. Hydro, Terasen
Gas.
I went to the suggested website Ms. Rostvig provided, only
to learn that water metering is nothing more than a lame at-
tempt to justify yet another bloated bureaucracy, paid for
by the ever-gouged taxpayer.
I still say we here in Metro Vancouver are blessed with an
abundance of clean, watershed-protected rain water, which
constantly falls from the sky at no cost to any of us.
Yes, it costs money to capture, process and distribute that
rain-water, but having worked on those very water infra-
structure systems since 1974, I can attest to all that the huge
costs of building and running our drinking water system is
not so much in the infrastructure, but the actual bureaucra-
cy that has been built up around that system.
If you want to see some real interesting facts about this,
check out the Metro Vancouver Financial Act Filings and
you will see where a vast majority of our taxes and water
rates are going.

Alumni give blood for old school

Former students return to Maple Ridge
Christian School stage

I
t’s not often that you get an opportunity to re-
live high school, but for some former students of
Maple Ridge Christian School, that chance has
become reality.
Students from the school’s theatre arts program
have decided that they would like to give back by pro-
ducing the school’s first-ever all-alumni production.
“Most of us have fond memories of high school, and
drama class was definitely the highlight for me,” says
Aaron Evans, who graduated in 2005.
“We wanted to give back to the school,” adds Hil-
lary Frew, from the class of 2004. “Alumni currently
don’t have a very large role in the MRCS community
and we hope that by running an all alumni play that Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
we can change that.” (From left) Danica Everts as Mrs. Johnstone, Aaron Evans as the narrator of the story and Nina Robinson as Mrs. Lyons in Maple Ridge Christian

brothers at birth and how fate brings them back to-
gether.
The play moves through the two boys lives as they
grow up and eventually fall in love with the same
girl.
“It’s definitely not your typical musical,” says Dan-
iel Robb, who graduated in 2008. “It has some very
dark themes in it. But it’s a show we hope the whole
Maple Ridge community will enjoy.”
Blood Brothers deals with modern issues faced by
teens and young adults, such as pregnancy, unem-
ployment, and addiction.
“It’s not like anything the school has shown before,
we’re definitely trying to push the envelope,” says
Phil Robinson, who also graduated in 2008.
The cast includes a mixture of recent graduates,
several university grads, veterans from the Maple
Ridge Christian stage, as well as a few new faces.
“I’ve wanted to do an alumni production for a few
years,” said drama teacher Reg Parks. “This year, we
had the right group of people to commit to a show. It’s
like a dream team from the decade I’ve been teaching
and there are people here who were in my first show
at the school and all the years since.”
It’s also quite a diverse cast: one actor is off to New
Zealand to begin his masters in marine biology soon
after the show closes; another is pursuing a career in
acting; one has gone to school for baking and stage
craft; one is a mother who is expecting her second
child – they all have jobs and commitments, and have
given up many hours of their time to make the show
a reality.
“I could not possibly be more proud”, says Parks.

Showtime
Blood Brothers runs Friday, Jan. 21 to Sunday, Jan. 23 at
14-16 and 21-23 at Maple Ridge Christian School, 12140

Inspiring Tuesdays with Morrie on Gallery 7 stage
Mitch Albom’s inspir-
ing and heart-warming
drama Tuesdays with
Morrie opens Gallery
7 Theatre’s season next
week.
Written by Jeffrey
Hatcher and Albom, the
play chronicles the rela-
tionship between an old
man at the twilight of
his life and a young jour-
nalist at the height of his
career as they explore
together the meaning of
life.
“I’ve wanted to pro-
duce this play on our
stage for quite some
time,” says Gallery 7
Theatre’s artistic direc-
tor Ken Hildebrandt.
“I was quite moved by
it. While the play deals
with death and sickness,
it really is about life,
finding meaning and
about being a positive
influence in people’s
lives.”
Mitch, a success-
ful journalist driven
solely by his career
as a sports columnist,

your life, you need to fig-
ure out what to resolve,
and how to keep that resolution:
• Keep it simple – First, don’t try to change
lots of things at once. Choose a few things that
will make a positive difference in your life and
focus on those. Also, don’t try to make them
too drastic. Figure out some small changes
that will start you on a good path.
• Darken your sleeping space – Melatonin
production is stimulated by dark. Young,
healthy bodies begin producing it about two to
three hours before sleep, and it rises in levels
through the early part of sleep, beginning to
decline about two hours before you wake.
Ambient light suppresses your melatonin
production and is associated with higher
levels of depression, breast cancer, prostate
cancer, and other diseases, including those
triggered by the lack of deep slumber itself.

• Make sure you have regular bowel

• Consume two servings a week of wild

• Breathe. Take the time to check in on

Keeping kittens safe
Heartworm
Pet s by
Brigitta MacMillan
We Do Kittens follow one rule: if it
moves, play with it; if it doesn’t
move, climb up or in it.
Their curiosity puts them at
more risk than most people
realize. Many kittens die in
accidents that leave families
heartbroken.
Katie’s Place kittens only
go to indoor homes. This pro-
tects them from the obvious
risks of traffic and predators.
However, kittens have been
killed by ordinary items, from
dental floss to recliners.
Before bringing a fur-baby
home, you need to prepare.
Look at your home from a
kitten’s perspective. If they
can go somewhere, they will.
Put screens on windows or
open them no more than an
inch.
Cover holes, vents, or ducts.
Young animals chew when
they’re teething. Electrical
cords and phone cords should
be tucked away or covered to
prevent burns or shock. Many
houseplants are poisonous
to animals. Keep them out of
reach.
Dangling drapery cords beg
to be played with. Fold or hook
them out of reach so kittens
can’t get tangled and strangle.
Check where your kitten is
before adjusting your recliner
or foldout bed. Check before
turning on the dryer or wash-
ing machine. Keep the dryer,
washer, dishwasher, oven
and fridge doors closed. Keep
the lid closed on the toilet
so he can’t fall in and drown.
Put away string, thread, yarn.
They can swallow several
yards which require surgery
to remove.
Anything small enough to
swallow is a choking hazard
or can cause intestinal block-
up, and also look for them
where the vacuum cleaner
doesn’t reach. Keep your sew-
ing box or tackle box closed.
Be vigilant with Christmas
decorations.
Secure cleansers, cosmetics,
medicines, pest control prod-
ucts, air fresheners, automo-
tive and garden products.
Antifreeze has a sweet taste
and is a potent poison. Even if
they don’t intentionally ingest
something, they can swallow it
in play or lick it off their paws.
Several foods are toxic to
animals, such as chocolate
and onions. Pets are better
off sticking to good quality
pet food. Clumping clay litter
is not for kittens. Pellets of
newspaper or sawdust are the
best litter for babies.
Lastly, if you have babies of
different species, supervise
them when they’re together.
Kittens have been killed by the
family dog in an unguarded

Pitt tops at Air Show
for 2nd straight year
Air Force beat Kitsilano
72-61 in tourney final,
Williams named MVP
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Pitt Meadows Ma-
rauders Air Force senior
boys’ basketball team re-
tained their Air Show title
last weekend, knocking off
Kitsilano in the final game
of the annual tournament.
Pitt Meadows
won the tour-
nament last
year for the
first time in
26 years of
hosting it, so to win
it again so soon was
encouraging, said
head coach Rich
Goulet.
“It was good to get the
win, but we made a lot of
mistakes, we weren’t so
solid,” said Goulet. “
Pitt opened the tourney
on Thursday with a 68-44
win over Cowichan Second-
ary, hailing from Duncan.
The Air Force was up 25-4
in the early going, when
Cowichan switched to a
zone defence, and the Air
Force attack backed off.
“We let them back into
the game,” said Goulet.
Malcolm Williams led
the way on offence with 20
points, while Trevor Sever-
inski had 16 points.
Pitt’s first game Friday
was a 63-48 win over Victo-
ria’s Mt. Douglas second-
ary. Williams had 26 points
in that game, while Matt
Blackaby had 10.
Pitt’s toughest test of
the tournament came Fri-
day night in the semi-final
against Sir Charles Tupper
secondary. Tupper led for
much of the game until the
end of the third quarter,
when they opted to bench
their starters to give them
some rest. Williams seized
the opportunity as he lit
up Tupper’s bench for 10
points in little more than a
minute of play.
“He just went off,” said
Goulet. “It was like he was
waiting all game to turn it
on.”
William’s offensive ex-
plosion put the team in the
lead for the first time, and
Pitt held on for the 65-59
win. Williams finished with
24 points, while Severinski
had 14.
The Air Force was fly-
ing high Saturday night
against Kitsilano in the
tournament final, beating
them 72-61, at times up by
as much as 20 points.
Kitsilano advanced to the
tournament final after over-
coming an 18-point fourth
quarter deficit against Cla-
remont secondary of Vic-
toria in the semi-final, and
looked poised to repeat as
they cut the 20-point deficit
to less than 10 in the late
stages of the game.
The Air Force managed
to hang on for the win de-
spite having Williams foul
out, but Goulet said he was
concerned about his team’s
tendency to take their foot
off the gas late in games,
and not use the
clock to their
advantage.
“[Late in the
game], your
opponent is
the clock,” said Gou-
let “But for some
reason, they think
they have to score
now, and they should
know better. What’s more
important, you shooting, or
us winning?”
Williams finished with 25
points, while Blackaby had
15, and Luke Gillespie had
12.
Goulet said he was happy
with his team’s defensive
play over the weekend,
much of the credit for which
can go to point guard Mitsu
Iwai.
At just five-foot-four, Iwai
may be small, but he is te-
nacious on defence, forcing
turnovers and disrupting
the opposition’s offence.
“He was superb, he can
get into guys’ shorts and
stay there,” said Goulet.
“He may be the most im-
portant factor to the team’s
success.”
Iwai was named to the
tournament all-star team,
along with Severinski. Wil-
liams was named tourna-
ment MVP after averaging
23.8 points per game.
Senior Erwin Van Ram-
shorst, an honour roll stu-
dent at Pitt Meadows sec-
ondary, received a $250
scholarship as the most
promising senior on the
team.
Goulet said the tourna-
ment was a coming of age
for seniors Van Ramhorst,
Gillespie and Brandon Sev-
erinski, all three of whom
won the Fraser Valley
Championship as Grade
10s, and then opted not to
play basketball last year.
Van Ramshorst found
his touch in the final with
two long range shots, while
Brandon Severinski held
Warren Liang in check
for much of the second
half of the semi-final and
was three-for-three in the
game.

Senior Burrards change hands
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
The Maple Ridge Bur-
rards have a new owner as
the local senior A lacrosse
club officially changed
hands this month.
Stepping aside will be
former owner Bill Hicks,
who has run the team for
the past decade. Taking the
reins will be Tim Germain,
who according to general
manager Daren Fridge, is
committed to keeping the

ciation franchise in Maple
Ridge.
Flames drop third straight in OT heart-breaker
by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f
staff reporter
It was the third loss in a
row for the Ridge Mead-
ows Flames Saturday night
against the Port Moody
Black Panthers, and it
couldn’t have come in more
heart-breaking fashion.

“Bill has been a tireless
worker, mentor, father-
figure and friend to many
of us over the past 10 sea-
sons,” Fridge told his play-
ers before Christmas in an
email. “I know this was not
an easy decision for Bill
and he will be missed.”
Fridge will stay on as
coach, and said Hicks de-
parture has left the club
with a big hole to fill.
“Everything Bill used to
do himself we’ve divided up
among five people,” Fridge
said. “He did it all. Some
very big shoes to fill.”
Also coming on board
will be Lance Andre, who
utes to play, the Flames
were pressing hard on the
power play when the poten-
tial game-winning goal was
waved off.
Flames head coach Tavis
Eaton said the puck went
through the net, and out
the other side. The ref-
eree checked the net, but
couldn’t find any evidence
of a hole.
