New pipeline route pitched But retired biologist says environmental concerns remain by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter
That’s down slightly from last year’s winning 144 species, but count organizer Jude Grass is confident the final tally will be enough for Ladner to retain its title. “As far as I know, that’s probably going to be No. 1 again,” she said. Some 85 eagle-eyed volunteer birders braved the wet, windy weather on count day.
Otto Langer saw this one coming. A revised plan by the Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation to use Highway 99 as the preferred route in which to build a 15-kilometre underground fuel pipeline to supply fuel to planes at Vancouver International Airport was submitted to the province’s environmental assessment office in November. A notice that the addendum was made public this week, and caught the eye of Langer, a retired biologist and member of Vancouver Airport Pipeline Opposition for Richmond (VAPOR) group. Langer believes the people behind the fuel facilities corporation used the threat to build the pipeline alongside residential neighbourhoods as a red herring. And Langer believes that it was orchestrated as a grand compromise to eventually have the Highway 99 route selected, even though he suspects the group had that in mind from early days. “They’re just looking for a quick and cheaper way to get cheaper fuel to the airport,” Langer said, adding he’s disappointed that Air Canada, WestJet and Air China—all of whom have environmental policies—have ignored the threat posed to the Fraser River Estuary by having fuel barged up the Fraser River to a massive holding plant near the Riverport entertainment complex and SilverCity Theatres.

Comment period on pipeline begins Jan. 11 From Page 1
Langer said he can’t see why this proposal would be approved by the province, considering something similar was rejected two decades ago. “It seems like we’re really slipping backwards in terms of environmental protection,” he said. In the addendum, the fuel facilities corporation argues the Highway 99 route is better for several reasons: • it shortens the length of pipelines between the holding facility and the airport by providing the most direct route through Richmond; • it removes significant lengths of pipeline from road and trail corridors; • offers a greater separation between the pipeline route and the urban development in Richmond; • the highway route will result in the smallest environmental footprint. From Langer’s perspective,
the existing pipelines from the refinery in Burnaby is the safest and has the leastenvironmental impact. “Common sense has really fallen through the cracks on this one. We’re very disappointed in the federal and provincial government.” And although the City of Richmond has expressed that it doesn’t have jurisdiction to control the route, Langer said the city will still be needed to give its approval for locations where the pipeline crosses city-owned rights-of-way, including at streets and overpasses. Residents can begin to comment on the addendum starting Jan. 11, 2012, and the comment period ends on Feb. 1. All correspondence received during that period will be considered by the province’s environmental assessment office. The complete 239-page addendum is available at http:// tinyurl.com/YVRaddendum.

‘We’re trying to get snapshots of what birds are around’ From Page 1
They helped scour a 450-squarekilometre area stretching from South Richmond to Point Roberts. Over 2,000 winter bird counts were scheduled to take place throughout the continent in a three-week period that ended yesterday. Data collected by birders helps scientists track winter bird populations and identify species in need of conservation. “We’re trying to get little snapshots of what birds are around, and how many,” said Grass. “Obviously we’re not counting every bird, but you are getting an idea. If lots of people get dark-eyed juncos, then we know that there’s lots around. If people have trouble getting song sparrows, then we kind of wonder where are they?” On Dec. 18, birders were out in
North Richmond, an area included in the Vancouver count. According to the Birding in B.C. website, birders there spotted 132 species. Highlights included the spotting of a late barn swallow and an orangecrowned warbler at Iona Island and two dozen ancient murrelets off the Iona south jetty. Birders also found a snowy owl in Richmond. During the Ladner count, conditions proved challenging for some volunteers. “With the weather the way it was, we had a super high tide in the morning—16-plus feet—which meant it was up to the lip of the dikes in some cases, with a bit of wind,” said Grass. Volunteers counted seven owl species including the short-eared owl, the long-eared owl, the barred owl, the northern saw-whet owl, the
barn owl, the great horned owl and about 40 snowy owls, which Grass said are experiencing an influx af-

Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island for a hot supper, to share details of rare or unusual birds seen, and to tally the species. Bird-lovers who did not want to brave the elements were still able to participate from the comfort of their own home. “There’s a number of people that just watch the birds in their backyards and then they send me a little list,” Grass said. “It’s just a nice way of getting them involved.” The Ladner Christmas bird count was started in the mid-1950s and has always been one of the top three counts for bird species seen on count day in Canada. The area has the highest number of wintering species in Canada for raptors (hawks, eagles, owls, and falcons), shorebirds and waterfowl.

As first reported by The Richmond Review, Navas-Rivas was one of five men charged as part of an 18-count criminal indictment in Richmond provincial court on Dec. 23. In an investigation launched last June by the local drug squad, police seized a quantity of cocaine, ecstasy and steroids, along with weapons. Navas-Rivas is charged with transferring a firearm and two counts of cocaine trafficking. After learning of the RCMP investigation on Dec. 29, Gregor Robertson issued a statement asking that Navas-Rivas turn himself in.
Scammers find new ways to prey on unwary Top 10 list of common scams unveiled by BBB Scammers are using new guises to misrepresent themselves and separate consumers from their cash, according to the Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. The agency released its annual list of top 10 scams of the year Wednesday. “We are seeing trends towards spoofing well-known brands and ‘scams of the moment’ which capture people’s attention because the topic is in the public consciousness,” BBB president and CEO Lynda Pasacreta said. The bureau says social media networks are increasingly being used to transmit spam and scammers are exploiting new trends. This year’s list (details at mbc.bbb.org): 1. Brand spoofing 2. Advance fee loans 3. Gold buying schemes 4. Financial elder abuse 5. Power saving claims 6. Door-to-door sales 7. Virus fixing scheme 8. Fraudulent locksmiths 9. Penny auctions 10.

Sales slow, but house and condo prices steady Despite a massive drop in the number of homes that changed hands last month compared to a year earlier, prices remained steady in Richmond, according to the latest numbers from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Just 62 detached homes sold in December, down 52 per cent from the 130 sold in December of 2010, but the median selling price actually increased a fraction, up 1.7 per cent to $965,000. Townhouse and condo sales were also down sharply compared to December of 2010, dropping 43 per cent and 45 per cent. The median selling price of townhouses dropped 5.6 per cent, while for apartments, they were up 2.2 per cent. “It was a relatively balanced year for the real estate market in Greater Vancouver with listing totals slightly above historical norms and sale numbers slightly below,” said board president Rosario Setticasi. “Our market remained in a balanced state for most of the year, although higher levels of demand for detached properties in the region’s largest communities caused prices in certain areas to rise higher than others,” he said. “For example, the benchmark price of a single-family detached home experienced double-digit increases in nine areas within the region over the last 12 months.” Region-wide for 2011, the number of homes sold rose 5.9 per cent compared to 2010, and was up 9.2 per cent compared to 2009. —Martin van den Hemel

Telephone seller found 83 buyers, including person in rest home by Dan Ferguson Black Press Some of the 83 people convinced by telephone to give money to an unlicensed investment company were seniors, a British Columbia Securities Commission investigation has disclosed. The commission says the people who were contacted by Pacific Ocean Resources—run by Richmond resident Don Dyer—lived “across Canada and the U.S.” and included at least 12 retired people, one of whom was living in a rest home. They were convinced to spend a total of $837,000 U.S. Some invested more than once. The commission says the 83 made a total of 136 so-called “loan agreements” with 72-year-old Dyer. Pacific Ocean Resources, based in Langley, raised the money between 2005 and 2009,
when the commission charged Dyer with selling shares in Global without a licence. The agreements referred to the funds as “demand loans” but the investors could not get their money back, only shares in a Nevada-based company, Global 8 Environmental Technologies Inc. “There was no intent on the part of Pacific Ocean, nor expectation on the part of the investors, to receive a cash repayment,” a panel ruled. The commission said Pacific Ocean broke a B.C. law against coldcalling people outside the province to sell them securities (the only exception is “close personal friends” or business associates). During a Nov. 15 BC Securities Commission hearing, Dyer argued his Langley company wasn’t breaking securities laws because it was selling
loans, while the commission investigators said the money transfers were thinly-disguised share purchases designed to get around the letter of the law. In a written decision released Dec. 21, a commission panel found that Dyer was selling securities and had broken the law. The panel noted that “Dyer is in the business of raising money for public companies, though neither Dyer nor his company are registered to sell securities in B.C.” A decision on penalties has yet to be made. In an 2010 online filing, Dyer described himself as an experienced investor who has “worked with many Wall Street brokerage firms such as Goldman Sachs, Prudential and Raymond James.” Dyer said he became president of Pacific Ocean Resources in 2002.

ne of the less noble honours that Vancouver received in 2011 was being the third worst dressed city in the world. Citing our love of yoga pants and our general laziness, MSN Travel encouraged us to rise
to the bar and put some actual zippers on our pants. When I think of the stylish Italians that I’ve met while travelling or the classy Latvians I visited a few years ago (who wouldn’t even wear yoga pants to bed) I feel shame. Now Richmond shouldn’t feel so smug. Yes, there are fashionistas of the highest order, modelling the very latest of cutting edge Asian-inspired couture but at the same time, there are people walking out there with their sun visors on (the ones that look like a welder’s mask.)

Invest in textiles? Why not just keep your hard earned cash under the mattress where it belongs? When the topic of investment is raised, most people think of gold, silver, bonds, stocks, savings plans or real estate. Today’s most creative investors and investment planners consider other options including antiques and fine art.

A steel galvanizing plant on Annacis Island in Delta has been fined $52,500 for an air pollution incident there two years ago. Silver City Galvanizing Inc. discharged gases and fine particles from its hot dip galvanizing operation on Jan. 7 and 8, 2010 that caused physical discomfort or interfered with visibility. Metro Vancouver air quality managers investigated after workers at a nearby business reported a noxious “cloud” coming from Silver City’s operation. The company pleaded guilty in late December to two counts of discharging air contaminants in violation of Metro bylaws. Silver City spent $294,000 in 2010 and 2011 to upgrade its pollution control systems and obtain a Metro permit. “We’re pleased that the judge felt it was important to send a strong message on an offence of this nature,” Robb said. “We hope others heed this message.”
Legal aid lawyers begin strike action Legal aid lawyers have now started what they vow will be an escalating strike to press the province to increase funding. It began this week with most lawyers who handle legal aid work refusing to represent new adult clients arrested on criminal charges who cannot afford their own representation. The Jan. 1 to 7 scheduled withdrawal of duty counsel services expands to two weeks in the first half of February, followed by three weeks in March and then all four weeks of April. The tactic by lawyers threatens to

leave many more accused people unrepresented before the courts in order to bring the issue to a head. “It’s not a step they came to lightly,” said Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. communications director Bentley Doyle. “They’re concerned about leaving clients without help. They feel desperate and they hope it’s short-term pain for long-term gain.” Legal aid funding has been cut by 27 per cent over the last decade, from $96 million in 2001 to about $67 million. —Jeff Nagel

hey arrived in the mailboxes of most Richmond residents this week—assessment notices—and with them came a message to the next generation. Richmond is simply unaffordable. The BC Assessment Authority letters detail the value of residential properties here, and, on average, assessments climbed 16.5 per cent. That’s the highest rise among municipalities in the Lower Mainland. In some cases—single family homes in west side neighbourhoods—assessments climbed 40 per cent. Demand for real estate isn’t slowing here in Richmond, with wealthy offshore buyers gobbling up properties at a high rate. These are buyers who aren’t relying on income in Canada, they’re bringing along money made elsewhere. Young adults raised in Richmond now looking to buy their own property are being forced to go elsewhere—unless they have a huge helping hand from family and friends. A new supply of condominiums and townhouses is adding some level of affordability to the local market, but a 700-square-foot home for a young family of four isn’t always feasible. Moreover, many of these new strata properties are high-end, with high prices. In many ways, we’re fortunate
Condo construction is a familiar site in City Centre, but will it solve the city’s affordability woes?
Richmond has a healthy, robust real estate market. Compared to many areas south of the border following the crash of 2007-08, Richmond continues to be a good place to invest. That’s good news for the local economy, but not necessarily a positive thing for our social fabric. What will Richmond look like in 20 years? With sky-high real estate prices and no new rental apartments being built, will Richmond
simply become a haven for the haves, while the have-nots will all be forced elsewhere? The city has made moves to boost affordability by providing mechanisms for granny flats, coach houses, smaller lots, secondary suites and high-density development. But is enough being done? The focus of creating density strictly in the downtown core indeed preserves single-family
neighbourhoods, but is that best for Richmond? Shouldn’t there be opportunities to buy an affordable condominium in other areas of the city? The assessment authority has given us pause for thought at a time when city hall is revamping Richmond’s official community plan. Now is the time for our community to have a candid discussion about its future.

I
had an interesting e-mail last week. Someone asked where they could buy fresh, local tomatoes and did I know a greenhouse that could supply them? Right now. In December. It’s times like these when I wonder why an intelligent person, who graduated from both high school and university and holds a steady job, doesn’t
understand that tomatoes don’t grow here through the winter, even in greenhouses. But then you look in the supermarket and sure, everything is available year-round so why wouldn’t you think that strawberries and tomatoes grow in December? So, here’s a crash course in what is available locally in the winter. In my own garden, I have leeks, brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, kale and some cabbage still in the ground. They’ll stay there until I’m ready to eat them. In storage, i.e. my garage, I have squash, garlic and apples. Many of our local farmers have proper cold storage facilities that can store carrots, beets, turnips, onions and potatoes. Winter is the season of root crops and hardy vegetables. This is when I make stews and roast vegetables in the oven. If I want tomatoes, I open up a jar that I preserved in the
summer. I try not to buy tomatoes from the store in the winter. I liken the taste to cardboard. Winter tomatoes have to be shipped in from Mexico, or sometimes farther so they’re chosen for their firmness, not their flavour. At the Sharing Farm in Terra Nova, we do actually have lettuce growing in our unheated greenhouse. That lettuce was started in September so that it could be available through the winter. It’s been doing perfectly well through this mild weather and many of the community meals in Richmond will benefit from the fresh salad. Beside the bed of lettuce are baby bok choi and other Asian greens that are also perfectly happy in cooler temperatures. Like the lettuce, these greens were started from seed in the fall and are now just sitting, waiting to be harvested. Greens and root crops.
That’s what is available through the winter in Richmond. Strawberries are not. If I want strawberries, I open up a jar of jam or I take a bag out from the freezer. My own stash of blueberries is running pretty low but luckily Sanduz on Blundell and Sidaway carries frozen blueberries year-round. I’d love to see more people, especially children, understanding the seasonality of the food cycle. It’s a life skill and should be a required course in school! If we want to prepare our youth for adulthood, they should know that purchasing food in season is the best way to stretch the dollar and cycle money back into the local community. In order that I have leeks again next year, I’ll be digging out my stash of seeds to start in a few weeks. Onions are also started at this time of year. I’ll prune my apple trees and then

start looking for signs of spring with the bulbs emerging from the ground. In the meantime, the kitchen will be full of the smells of leek and potato soup or roasted squash. There’s no better comfort than knowing your local food. Arzeena Hamir is co-ordinator of the Richmond Food Security Society. Reach her at arzeena hamir@shaw.ca.

New season of paddling nears for Abreast in a Boat New members welcome; information meeting set for Jan. 12 The Richmond chapter of Abreast in a Boat will be holding an information meeting Thursday, Jan. 12. Abreast in a Boat is a group of women living with breast cancer who participate in dragon boat racing to raise awareness about breast cancer and to encourage those living with it to live full and active lives. The non-profit group’s aim is to send a message of hope to people living with the disease, and to those who support them. Leading healthy and active lives is so important to an individual’s recovery and ability to move forward in life. Participating in dragon boating provides fun, challenge and a chance to meet new people. The boat is a floating support group, a symbol of hope, and a vivid demonstration that one can have a full and active life after cancer. Before the Abreast In A Boat organization formed in 1996, there was a belief among some
ABreast in a Boat Richmond members paddle on the Middle Arm.
health professionals and breast cancer survivors that women recovering from the disease should avoid upper-body exercise. It was thought that this type of exercise could cause
lymphedema, a painful swelling of the arm and chest area that is sometimes the result of surgery. Dr. Don Mackenzie, a Richmond resident, and doctor of
physiotherapy at University of B.C. challenged what we now know to be erroneous beliefs. He got 20 women breast cancer survivors to try dragon boating. His findings and the outreach efforts of Abreast In A Boat have inspired over 150 teams around the world and thousands of women catching the wave of life through dragon boating. Today, studies not only prove that survivors can exercise without increasing their risk of lymphedema but that those with active lifestyles reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The five-year-old Richmond chapter is one of five in the Lower Mainland. Twice a week for four months beginning in spring, 20 women paddle up and down the Middle Arm, in preparation for a series of regattas. This past year six novices joined the Richmond crew, which paddled out of the Richmond Yacht Club, and the group is hoping to attract more newcomers this year. Experience in paddling isn’t necessary to join the group. The information meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at Accent Inn Vancouver Airport Hotel, 10551 St. Edwards Dr. To register or for more information, contact Bunny Ross at bunnyr@ telus.net.

Cuevas, Gordon going for gold in Moncton by Don Fennell Sports Editor Two Connaught figure skaters head to Canada’s Maritimes next Friday hoping to mine gold at the 2012 junior nationals Jan. 16 to 22 in Moncton, N.B. Mitchell Gordon, 15, is stepping up to compete in the Junior Men’s Division after topping the Novice Men’s Division at the 2011 competition in Victoria, while Shawn Cuevas, also 15, seeks to emulate his teammate’s first-place finish in the Novice Men’s Division after placing 13th in last year’s event. Connaught director of skating
Keegan Murphy is confident both boys will fare well. “They’re practising really well and appear to peaking at the right time,” he said. “They were on the ice over the holidays and while not on a full training schedule, were keeping their cardio up and staying on top of their technical content.” Gordon, who has been skating since the age of four, has barely missed a step in his progress and gained valuable experience last year competing in an international event in Estonia. “Mitchell’s in a great place right now,” said Murphy. “He’s a very
driven athlete, but if you give him certain benchmarks he’s keen to trust that process. As much as there can be glitches, since qualifying for Canadians at the challenge event in Regina in December, we’ve been taking things day by day and staying focused on short-term goals. I think he will use his good training to stay strong at nationals. His level of competition will be challenging, but nothing beyond his reach. He’s right in the game with what everyone is doing.” Gordon’s forte is his strong technical skating, but at the same time he has good performance skills.

Set goals before starting exercise routine Resolve to get in shape is strong for many in new year
A
t the dawn of a new calendar year, many people decide it’s time to turn over a new leaf and shed those extra pounds that accumulated over the previous 12 months. Though it’s noble to want to lose weight and improve health, there
are precautions people should take before beginning a new exercise regimen. • Visit your physician. It’s best to get a full physical before beginning an exercise regimen. A full physical can reveal if you have any health problems that might limit what you should and shouldn’t be doing at the gym. See Page 15

Start slowly and leave time to recover From Page 14
If anything turns up, your physician can develop a plan of attack for you to address the issue. If nothing turns up, then your doctor will probably give you the green light to go forward with few, if any, limitations. •Conduct a self-assessment. Once you’ve visited the doctor and received the go-ahead to start working out, do an honest self-assessment to see where you are in terms of fitness. Walk a mile and time yourself. Do as many push-ups and sit-ups as possible, but be careful to stretch and not push yourself. This self-assessment should not be demanding. Instead, the goal is to gauge where you are and how your body feels when doing some simple exercises. •Establish your goals. The goal of most people beginning a new exercise regimen is to lose weight. However, there are other incentives as well. For example, some people might be starting to train for a marathon or another sporting event. Whatever the reason, know why you’re getting started, as such goals can help you monitor your progress as the year goes on. •Start slowly. Caution should reign supreme when beginning an exercise regimen. Diving into the deep end at the onset increases the risk of injury, which could limit activity for months to come. First get your body acclimated to exercise, then gradually challenge yourself as you see fit. •Leave time to recover. Though it might feel rejuvenating to get back to exercising, it’s important for everyone, but especially those who are just starting, to allow themselves some time to recover. Allow your muscles and joints to recover between workout sessions. Frequency of sessions can increase as your body gets acclimated, but at first allow a day or two between sessions so your body can recover. •Listen to your body. Exercising after a long hiatus from routine exercise won’t be easy, and your body is likely going to tell you
•Consider hiring a personal trainer. Many people are overwhelmed when entering a gym after a long time away. If you find yourself intimidated or simply don’t know where to begin, hire a personal trainer. Many charge by-the-session, so you can learn which

Seeing that and knowing what he has gone through, I have complete faith in him.

In five games he earned 10 points (four goals and six assists). Sweden’s Victor Ohman (12 points in six games) was the leading scorer.

Market expected to remain strong this year
GVHBA forecasts solid performance in 2012 Don’t look for any crazy twists and turns for B.C.’s housing market in 2012. Peter Simpson, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, says the coming year should be solid, if unspectacular, and the market for homes in the Lower Mainland is expected to remain strong through 2012. Numbers for 2011 are expected to end up at just around 18,000 starts, and Simpson expects limited growth for 2012, with home starts staying close to the level set last year. Simpson says first-time homebuyers have returned to the market, which has helped to maintain the number of housing starts. “We’re finding that first-time home buyers are coming back and buying homes. “They can’t see interest rates rising anytime
soon,” he says. “They see it as a good time to get into the market.” Other buyers may still be sitting on the sidelines and waiting out the transition from the HST back to the PST, but Simpson says this might not be the best path to take. The HST, charged on new homes over $525,000 and on labour for renovations, was rejected last summer and the province said it would take 18 months to move back to the PST. For 2012, Simpson and the GVHBA will be proceeding with cautious optimism. While there are economic concerns that are beyond our control, Simpson says the housing market should remain a source of strength for B.C. “The bottom line is there will be a steady market through 2012, and we don’t see any reason for that to change.”
Superior interior design at an affordable price
Varsity has first-class features in Langley by Kerry Vital
If you want to be in the right place at the right time, you need look no farther than Redekop Kroeker Development’s Varsity, in Langley. With 231 one- and two-bedroom homes in four buildings, Varsity is destined to become one of the premier home developments in the area. Ranging from 470 to 910 square feet, you won’t have any problems finding the perfect suite for you. One of the biggest draws thus far has been Varsity’s location. “It is a very walkable location with 250-plus stores (and) 100-plus restaurants within a 10-minute walk,” says Rennie Marketing project director Graham Snowden. “Those numbers double if you’re driving.” Snowden isn’t exaggerating. Varsity is extremely close to any amenity or service you could possibly ask for, from supermarkets like Safeway and IGA, to drugstores like London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart, and restaurants like IHOP and Red Robin. If you’re looking for some recreation, there are yoga studios, several parks, golf courses and swimming pools nearby as well. Seven schools, from elementary to post-secondary, are available for your educational needs. One of the things RKDI is most proud of in Varsity is its incredible value. “RKDI has committed to providing a home with superior interior design detail at an affordable price,” says Snowden. Some of those interior design details

he says. One special feature in every home is the under-cabinet lighting in the bathroom, which includes a motion sensor so you’ll never be stumbling around in the dark. Rich marble countertops in the main bathroom or square-edge granite in the ensuite make for a luxurious feel, complemented perfectly by the 12” by 24” ceramic floor tiles and antique white tub
surround. “The realtor community, purchasers, visitors and neighbours have all been very impressed with the quality of the interior design details, floor plan design, the affordability, the location and architecture of the building,” Snowden says. Homes at Varsity start at $149,900. For more information visit www. liveatvarsity.com or call 604-539-2200.
include closet organizers in every bedroom and under-cabinet puck lighting in the kitchen. The kitchen is one of Snowden’s favourite parts of the development. “On the surface you see the granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. When you look a little deeper, you are welcomed by a stainless-steel gas range, French-door fridge, soft-close cabinets and stainless-steel undermount sink,”

Sockeyes soar into new year
Linda Lait
by Don Fennell
604.351.3658
Sports Editor Richmond Sockeyes rang in the new year early by exploding for a 13-2 Pacific International Junior Hockey League win over Mission Ice Breakers Dec. 29. Jeremy Hamaguchi opened the scoring at 1:33 of the first period and added a second goal at 9:38, sandwiching a powerplay marker by Kevan Killistoff (two goals and two assists) 14 seconds earlier. Hamaguchi also had three assists and his 46 points (21 goals and 25 points) are now second only to Delta Ice Hawk Spencer Traher’s 53 points in the PIJHL. Kyzen Loo (a goal and three assists), Clayton
Wright (two goals and two assists), Carter Popoff (two goals and two assists), Michael Ball (three assists) and Sam Chichak (a goal and two assists) also had multiple point games for the Sockeyes. Only captain Patrick Hunter, Scott Wessa and Dylan Smith failed to register a point. Goalie Kootenay Alder made 19 saves for his 10th win of the season. In 13 games he sports a 1.76 goals against average and is second only to teammate Jonah Imoo (15 wins and 1.22 goals against average in 17 games) among the league’s top goaltenders. Going into Thursday’s game against North Vancouver Wolf Pack (12-13-1), Richmond (25-4-0) was six points up on Delta Ice Hawks (21-6-1-1) in the overall PIJHL standings.
