Barcelona bound Cloverdale soccer player, 8, will be playing for Canada in Spain

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Sasha Ryga proudly wearing the red and blue jersey worn by his Barcelona FC idols.

By Jennifer Lang It’s not the exactly the FIFA world cup tournament, but for eight-year-old Sasha Ryga, a rising soccer player from Cloverdale, it’ll come pretty close.

This March, he’ll be part of the Vancouver Football Club U10 team that’s heading to Barcelona, Spain, to compete against teams from 14 countries.

Barcelona just happens to be home to the world’s premier football club, the star-studded FC Barcelona, He’ll get to tour Camp Nou, the home stadium of the club, as part of the experience – and hopefully meet a player from the Barcelona team.

Sasha is crossing his fingers that it will be Lionel Messi or Naymar.

Barcelona is known for developing home-grown players through its youth academy, something that may explain the Spanish club’s success.

Barcelona is at the centre of Sasha’s universe. He proudly wears the red and blue Barça shirt.

His passion for the sport goes back a couple of years, according to his mom, Paulina Pekova. When Sasha was six, he started playing with Surrey United Soccer Club (he’s currently playing on the U8 team, the Gunners).

About six months in, something clicked; Sasha wanted to keep playing and practicing every chance he got.

Off the field, he was drawn to the Barcelona football team. He’d be glued to YouTube, watching videos of his favourite players: Messi, Ronaldo, Ney-

mar, Puyol, Ineista, Maradona, Figo, Cruyff and Ronaldinho – deconstructing their moves so he could try to incorporate them into games.

“All these players had one club in common – Barcelona,” Pekova says.

In July, Sasha successfully tried out for the FCB Escola Vancouver program, which is implemented

by FC Barcelona coaches from its youth academy in Barcelona.

He received the exciting news just before Christmas that he will be part of the U10 team that will travel to Spain this spring.

It will be a dream come true for Sasha, who is happiest when there’s a soccer ball at his feet – something that’s a big part of every day, rain or shine. Keen to practice on his own, he begs his mom to take him to Cloverdale Athletic Park so he can keeping working at his skills.

“The coaches at Surrey United would often joke with Sasha that he was there more than they were,” she added.

Sasha comes from an artistic background – his father is a multiple Juno-award winning musician and his grandfather is playwright George Ryga – but is excelling in sports. He plays piano and his older brother, Pavel, plays saxophone and has earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Sasha’s only other connection to Spain – apart from his love of soccer and his idol players – is an aunt who is a semi-professional Flamenco dancer who performs in Spain every year.

Not a fan of refugee plan How many millions will it cost when we have other problems?

Regarding the Syrian refugee situation: I and many others that I know are strongly opposed to this proposal and for good reason. When I look around and listen to our own multitude of problems it would seem that we would be much better to solve some of them first.

We have homeless people, welfare, unemployment, food banks, soup kitchens, mental health, hospital waiting lists, child welfare problems and even more. The media would have us to believe that all is well, but I don’t get much (if anything) in the way of opposition. How about some kind of a reasonable balance?

The last poll that I heard indicated that 60 per cent of B.C.ers and 70 per cent of Albertans were opposed to the Syrian refugee proposal. I would venture to say that if a truly independent poll done by a truly random sample of residents that the figures would be higher today. How about a five-year moratorium on Canadian citizenship?

I don’t know how many millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money this will cost, but I do know that there is only one taxpayer.

‘Backbone’ of Surrey Rookie cop lauded Fire Service laid to rest for truck theft arrest

By Kevin Diakiw Surrey firefighters are laying one of their own to rest this month after his line of duty death.

Surrey Fire Capt. Randy Piticco died on Dec. 22 after a battle with presumptive lung cancer. Piticco had worked for the Surrey Fire Service for 32 years and retired in 2009.

His passing is deemed a line of duty death, as it has been determined by WorkSafeBC to have been at-

tributed to carcinogens he was exposed to during his years in the fire service.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis described Piticco as a crucial part of the Surrey Fire Service.

“He was one of those backbone guys of the department,” Garis said. “He was involved in pre-fire planning.

He wasn’t that conspicuous other than the work that he did and the dedication he gave to the department.”

A funeral service will be

held Sunday, Jan. 24 at 3 p.m. at the Bell Performing Arts Centre.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made “in memory of Randy Piticco” to the Langley Community Support Groups Society –Hope After Stroke.

For online donations, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society will accept donations and redirect them to Hope After Stroke:www.surreyfirefighters.com/donate/ – Black Press

A keen observation from a rookie RCMP officer led to the arrest of a wanted car thief and the return of a vehicle originally stolen from a South Surrey car dealership.

According to police, an employee at the dealership was tricked on Dec. 19 into handing over a set of keys for a brand-new pickup truck to a man, who promptly drove off.

The theft – along with surveillance photos – was reported to police. It was

also shared with local television stations, which broadcast the images.

According to a news release issued Thursday afternoon, Const. Orin MacDonald recognized the suspect, and on New Year’s Eve, spotted the stolen vehicle being driven by the same individual.

“When I saw him drive by, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” MacDonald said in the release.

A suspect was arrested without incident soon after, upon entering a nearby liquor store.

The truck suffered about $3,000 in damages.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann described the arrest as “a real tribute to the tenacity and attention to detail displayed by one of our brandnew members.”

“Anytime the Surrey RCMP can take a stolen vehicle off the road we’re improving the safety of our community and reducing the likelihood of other crimes being committed,” Schumann added.

Langley resident Dean Williams, 52, is charged with theft over $5,000 and possession of stolen property over $5,000. He is due back in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday (Jan. 15).

Exempt your child from the FSA

Dear parents, We work hard to give your children the best education possible. We celebrate with them when they master a new concept and help them think creatively when tackling a tricky problem.

But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away from those wonderful moments of learning.

The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless stress for students, are expensive, and the muchdelayed results do not actively support your child’s progress.

The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of to students’ interests and needs.

That’s why teachers in Surrey recommend you send a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.

More than 100 children housed in hotels

Joint review of placements shows most stays are short, but Alex Gervais spent close to 100 days in hotels while in ministry care

By Jeff Nagel A new report shows 117 children and youth in care in B.C. were placed in hotels in a recent 12-month period despite government claims the practice was rare and repeated orders that it happen only in extreme situations.

The joint review of hotel placements by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and the Ministry of Children and Family Development came in response to a high-profile death last September.

Alex Gervais, an 18-year-old in care, fell or jumped to his death from the fourth floor of an Abbotsford Super 8 hotel, where he had been housed by the ministry after his group home was shut down due to poor conditions.

At that time, Children and Family Minister Stephanie Cadieux suggested just one or two youths were

thought to be in hotel placements.

Turpel-Lafond suspected the number was closer to 50 and said the count of 117 children from November 2014 to October 2014 – more than double her estimate – shows how pervasive the problem remains.

Some of those children were placed in hotels multiple times during the year, as a total of 131 placements were recorded.

Most hotel stays are short – just a day or two – and Cadieux said it’s usually because of the need to urgently relocate youth until a conventional placement can be found, often on evenings or weekends.

But Gervais was an extreme case.

He spent 49 consecutive days in the Abbotsford hotel prior to his Sept. 18 death, the most recent of multiple hotel stays.

“The best guess we have is that Mr. Gervais spent close to 100 days

in hotels over the period of his time in care,” Turpel-Lafond said.

A further review of his case is underway and the ministry is required to report by March 31 or consent to an investigation by Turpel-Lafond’s office.

“His death is a tragedy,” Cadieux said. “It’s a young life lost well too soon.”

The South Fraser and North Fraser regions of the Lower Mainland recorded the highest use of hotels – 32 and 27 placements respectively – followed by 14 in Vancouver/ Richmond and 12 by the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society.

The hotel placements make up two per cent of B.C. children in care, but that rose to six per cent in the North Fraser area.

Turpel-Lafond characterized the recurring use of hotels in those areas as “a stop-gap in lieu of having

adequate placements.”

But Cadieux said she believes better coordination of the placement options that exist could go far to reducing hotel use.

Cadieux said hotel stays remain an option of last resort and while she doesn’t believe it’s good practice she would set no target date for ending it.

Manitoba has banned all use of hotels but Cadieux said that comparison isn’t appropriate because that province was using them systemically.

Turpel-Lafond said she would like to see a complete ban because of the harm hotel stays do but agreed it is not realistic.

“The pressures on the staff are such that they are not able to find alternative placements to hotels at this time.”

Ministry staff must now report to the representative’s office when

any child is kept in a hotel longer than three days.

Social workers must get approval for hotel placements, which has been granted in all recent requests.

Reports on hotel placements are to be made public every six months.

Cadieux said she also intends to bring a budget request to cabinet to provide more residential resources for emergency placements, particularly in the Fraser areas.

She indicated she may also propose increased remuneration or incentives to recruit or retain foster families.

“We want to eliminate hotel placements entirely,” Cadieux said.

“But government can’t achieve that alone. We need more people to step up, get trained and work with us to provide kids in care with the stable homes that they need and that they deserve.”

B.C. seeks relief for aging population costs

By Tom Fletcher When people retire to B.C. from Alberta and other provinces, they bring the majority of their health care needs with them, but some of the federal health care money stays behind.

That’s the message B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake is taking

Health minister to ask feds to restore former funding formula to the first meeting between provincial ministers and the new Liberal government in Vancouver next week.

Lake said B.C.’s objection to the health care funding formula adopted by the former Conservative government in 2011 was

that it was based on population, with no age component.

“As you age your health care costs become higher and higher,” Lake said. “So to have a pure per-capita transfer actually was a disadvantage for populations that were

promised to add another $3 billion to the health care budget to start, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate the formula.

That meeting is set for Jan. 20 and 21 in Vancouver, chaired by federal Health Minister Jane Philpott.

Studies by the Canadian Institute for Health Information confirm the steep increase in health care costs for people as they enter their senior years, much of it for end-oflife care.

The red hot market for homes in Vancouver last year was noticeably cooler further east in the Fraser Valley.

The benchmark price of detached houses across the Valley climbed 17.3 per cent to $672,400 in 2015, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which includes Surrey, North Delta and White Rock in its region.

Year-end statistics show townhomes in the Fraser Valley were up 9.6 per cent to $321,800 while condos gained 7.2 per cent to a benchmark $204,900.

On the north side of the Fraser River, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported its benchmark detached house price was up 24.3 per cent to $1.248 million. Townhouses there were up 13.6 per cent to $543,700 and condos gained 14 per cent to $436,200.

But the largest single increase in the Greater Vancouver board’s area wasn’t in Vancouver, but for detached houses in Tsawwassen, which were up 32.2 per cent.

Even with that gain, a benchmark Tsawwassen house at just over $1 million is barely a third the cost of its $2.88-million equivalent on Vancouver’s west side.

The fastest price gains in the Fraser Valley were

for detached houses in North Delta, which were up nearly 26 per cent to $703,100, followed by White Rock/South Surrey, where benchmark houses were up 18.4 per cent to $1.1 million.

Rental dispute fee doubles Tenants who take disputes with their landlords to the Residential Tenancy Branch now have to pay twice as much after the B.C. government approved fee increases in late December.

The fee for a dispute resolution application filed by a renter doubled to $100 from $50. And an appeal review now costs $50, up from $25. Landlords must pay the fees if the branch finds in favour of the tenant.

Critics predict the fee increases will deter some tenants from seeking recourse when landlords break the law.

The province says it will use the extra fee revenue to hire new arbitrators, reducing the wait for urgent hearings.

Fees have also been raised for landlords seeking to impose extraordinary rent increases.

Many Canadians are missing the opportunity to build wealth through a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). A TFSA not only provides tax-free income that can be withdrawn at any time and has the ability to hold a variety of investment types, it also has no age caps for seniors, unlike an RRSP, which has an age limit of 71, and contribution limits can be replenished when withdrawals are made from a TFSA. While investing in both RRSPs and TFSAs is important for a healthy financial portfolio, how much one invests in each depends on factors such as your projected retirement income. If your marginal tax bracket is higher now than it will be in retirement, it may be beneficial to invest in RRSPs. If it’s going to be the same or less now than it will be in retirement, TFSAs may be the better option.

Here are some important facts to consider when investing

By Jennifer Lang A curling team that includes a Cloverdale teen is headed for the BC Winter Games next month in Penticton.

Team Drexel – representing Coquitlam, Cloverdale and Chilliwack – has qualified for the 2016 BC Winter Games, taking place Feb. 25-29.

It’s the only girls curling team from Zone 3 to register for the playdowns, giving them automatic entry to this year’s championships.

Coached by Peace Arch Curling Club’s Al Smith, the team consists of three veterans and one relative newcomer to the sport.

Skip Heather Drexel of Coquitlam is 16 and has been curling for six years, as have third Everly Royea of Chilliwack, also 16, and second Bailey Burke, a 15-year-old from Cloverdale who’s in Grade 10 at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

It’s Drexel’s third provincial event, and the second for Burke and Royea, who was on the team that won the BC Winter Games in 2014.

Last year, Burke and Drexel were undefeated in the lead up to winning the B.C. Juvenile championships. Royea, Drexel and Burke also took part in the U18

International championships sponsored by the Optimist Junior Interleague.

Burke curls out of the Cloverdale Curling Club, where she’s registered in the junior curling program and acts as a spare for several adult leagues here.

The Panthers, who have placed in the top three five times previously at the Fire Fighters’ Classic, didn’t change their game plan

when the Thunder were cutting into their lead. Instead, they just picked up the pace. “We just stayed within our system and worked hard, we stuck with what we do well,� said McRae. “We preach it, no ‘hero basketball,’ we look for the best pass, the best play possible. And in turn, it will come back to you when you’re open.�

Leading the way offensively for Lord Tweedsmuir were

Maryn Budiman with 20 points, Ali Norris with 17 and Shelvin Grewal with 15. The Thunder got 33 points from Sav Dhaliwal, and another 16 from Arman Sahota.

The Panthers topped the Panorama Ridge Thunder 87-73 in the championship game of the all-Surrey senior girls high school basketball tournament, capping a four-game run through the 22team competition. “We play as a team, we work well as a unit.

That’s our biggest strength,� said Panthers coach Curtis McRae. “At the end of the day, we had some great leadership and a ton of talent.�

In a rematch of last year’s junior girls provincial championship game, won by the Thunder after they erased an eightpoint deficit with a huge 34-4 run, Lord Tweedsmuir again took a lead into the second half. Only this time, the Panthers stayed in front, not allowing Panorama Ridge to get closer than 10 points over the final 20 minutes. “It was kind of a similar game, we were up big at half time, then they chipped away and chipped away,� said McRae. “Unfortunately, they got the best of us that game. Today, we were able to hold the lead.�

Lord Tweedsmuir extended a 15-point halftime lead to as many as 21 points early in the second half, before the Thunder tried to make a comeback.

tips Friday night, then lost 6-4 to the Prince George Cougars Saturday evening.

The Giants had won four of five games heading into the weekend, but were handed consecutive regulation losses for the first time since Dec. 5-6. Ironically, those losses were to the Silvertips (3-1 in Everett) and Prince George (6-5 in Vancouver). Since then, the Giants were 9-3-1 (winloss-overtime loss) heading into play last weekend, and making a charge for a playoff position.

Vancouver has now slipped back into the cellar of the Western Conference, but are just six points back of a playoff position.

The Silvertips broke a 2-2 tie with a goal midway through the second period, and maintained the one-goal lead for the final 33 minutes of the game.

Everett opened the scoring eight minutes into the first period, then Dmitry Osipov and Alec Baer struck for the Giants with a pair of goals just 18 seconds apart. Everett tied the game 80 seconds later.

Ryan Kubic made 19 saves on 22 shots, while the Giants took 23 shots at the Everett goal.

Saturday against Prince George, the home side scored three

times in the second period and took a 4-3 lead into the final frame, but couldn’t hang on.

Trevor Cox was the Vancouver goal scorer in the first period, which ended with the Cougars up 2-1. Cox then assisted on goals

by Thomas Foster and Ty Ronning in the first minute of the second period to give the Giants their first lead of the game.

After Prince George scored on the powerplay, Foster restored the Vancouver lead five minutes into the second period.

Prince George tied the game three minutes into the third period, took the lead with a powerplay goal at the six-minute mark, then scored into the empty net in the final minute.

Kubic was again in the Vancouver goal, stopping 33 of the 38 shots he faced.

The Giants played a pair of U.S. Division teams earlier this week, visiting the Portland Winterhawks Monday night and the Tri-City Americans on Tuesday.

They will play three home games next weekend, hosting the Medicine Hat Tigers Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Pacific Coliseum, before visiting the Victoria Royals for two games Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

OBITUARIES

FIETKAU Sophie December 8, 1938 - December 12, 2015 Sophie Fietkau (nee Pukart) left our world on December 12, 2015 at the Langley Memorial Hospital, under sad circumstances. The painful void of her loss is deeply felt by her relatives and friends.

Sophie was born in Granfenstein, Austria on December 7, 1938, together with her twin brother Joseph Pukart, who survives her. Her parents were Simon and Genoveva Pukart. Her beloved sister, Maria Pukart, predeceased her. In 1963, she married Horst Manfred Fietkau (of Berlin, 1939?1985) in Toronto. Sophie is survived by daughter Christine (John), son Walter, and his two children, Wyatt and Kole, all of whom she loved dearly. Sophie’s children and grandchildren were her life. And her friends were dear to her. We burn candles in our hearts for her, and remember, with profoundest gratitude, her positive contributions to our lives.

A funeral service, a celebration of life service, and a concert are being planned to honour our beloved Sophie’s memory.
