Cold walk will help homeless

JENNIFER LANG / CLOVERDALE REPORTERColdest NIght of the Year organizer Jim Heuving, executive pastor at Pacifi c Community Church, Andrea Dodd, assistant program manager at Hyland House, and Matthew Campbell, manager of the Cloverdale Community Kitchen, will be helping to fundraise for both organizations on Feb. 20.

By Jennifer LangA community walk for homelessness in

February will help feed needy Cloverdale res-idents – and help furnish the new Bill Reid Memorial Shelter.

Th e organizer of the Coldest Night of the Year event in Clover-dale is hoping to recruit dozens of teams to take part in the 2016 walk for homelessness initiatives.

Jim Heuving is hoping there will be at least 50 teams this year, an ambitious goal, but one that’s not necessarily out of reach.

Speaking at a Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce lunch last month, Heuving said he’s hoping people will sign up as team lead-ers or join a team for the walk.

Nearly 200 people on 30 teams turned out on a “beautiful Saturday evening” in Cloverdale last February, raising $40,000 for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen, a commercial-grade kitchen that’s home to three weekly hot meal programs serving Clo-verdale’s less fortunate.

Heuving is executive pastor at Pacifi c Com-munity Church, which is partnering with Options Community Services for the Feb. 20 walk.

Teams will be raising funds to buy food for the Cloverdale Community Kitchen and fur-nishings for the Bill Reid Memorial House, with proceeds split 50/50.

Th e Coldest Night of the Year is an annual campaign hosted in more than 80 cities across Canada.

Teams walk 2, 5 or 10km routes and col-lect fundraising pledges in support of a local charity that assists homeless and homelessness

initiatives.In Cloverdale, the Coldest

Night of the Year is sponsored by Pacifi c Community Church, which runs the Cloverdale Com-munity Kitchen, using money raised through the local walk.

“Th is is a fun way to do it,” Heu-ving said, adding the walk gets diff erent sectors of the communi-ty together in support of a com-mon cause.

New shelter plannedWork is already underway to

bring fi ll to the site at 17752 Cole-brook Road in Cloverdale, where construction of a new shelter and transition housing will get underway next year.

Th e new shelter will replace Cloverdale Hyland House, a 10-bed shelter nearby.

Options is working in partnership with BC Housing, the City of Surrey, the Surrey Home-lessness Society, the Cloverdale BIA and other partners on the project – described as a ther-apeutic farm community that will be named in honour of the late Bill Reid, an immense supporter of the project.

who was instrumental in bringing the business community and local government to work on a community solution to homelessness.

In November, the Surrey Homelessness and Housing Society kicked off a $300,000 fundraising drive for the Bill Reid Memorial Shelter, which will in-

clude 16 shel-ter beds and 12 transition beds when complete.

Th e $4 million facility will be largely paid for by B.C. Housing.

“Clover-dale is really unique,” said Peter Fedos, senior program manager

with Options Communi-ty Services, explaining that the commu-nity is a place where “people who know how to get things done, is the best way to describe it.”

Reid, he said, was instrumental in getting the project off

the ground. “Bill had a way of sucking you into his wake,” Fedos said, referring to his ability network. “Th en, you’d get a call and he’d say, ‘Th ere’s something else we need you to do.’”

Fedos estimates that in the past six years, 1,800 people have gone through the doors of Cloverdale Hyland House.

Th e new facility will

have a larger capacity and off er more sup-portive services that will help people leave

homelessness behind.“Any money that

we can raise will help towards the cost of

building,” he said.To register, visit cold-

estnightoft heyear.org.

Barcelona bound

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

By Jennifer LangIt’s not the exactly the FIFA world cup tourna-

ment, but for eight-year-old Sasha Ryga, a rising soc-cer player from Cloverdale, it’ll come pretty close.

Th is March, he’ll be part of the Vancouver Foot-ball 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 Barce-lona,

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 fi ngers 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 fi eld, he was drawn to the Barcelona foot-ball team. He’d be glued to YouTube, watching vid-eos 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 – Bar-celona,” 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 Christ-mas 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.

“Th e coaches at Surrey United would oft en 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.

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

Th is week, we gratefully remove our toque to the person who knitted the scarves keeping three Cloverdale’s stat-ues along 176 Street warm this winter.

Th e trio, Moments in Time by Paul Slipper, a stone sculptor, consists of granite statues refl ecting Cloverdale’s history inspired by real-life models.

One is resident Penny Smyth in a Stet-son, refl ecting the importance of the Cloverdale Rodeo, the second is an In-terurban motorman modeled on the late Frank Horne, who can be seen checking his watch, and the third is a casually-at-tired guy in a baseball hat, T-shirt and jeans – a nod to the importance of agriculture to Cloverdale.

Th e scarves were neatly and carefully wrapped around the statues some time by late No-vember and have somehow weathered the busy Christ-mas shopping season in the historic downtown intact.

According to Kathi Nichol-son, a former sales representa-tive of the Cloverdale Reporter who now co-owns Retro Mod Consign-ment on 176 street, the scarves were knitted and donated by a friend – the sister of the model of one of the fi gures: Mike Burns, the

guy in a ball cap. A “crazy knitter”, she lives in Powell River, where she hatched a

plan to do something special for Cloverdale when she came to

visit late last year.“Th is is my brother,” she

reasoned, according to Nich-olson. “I didn’t want them to get cold.”

Mayor honouredWe’d like to acknowledge an im-

portant milestone for Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner.

At the Jan. 11 council meeting, she was presented with a service pin recognizing her three decades of service to the city of Sur-

rey. It’s a small gesture that marks a re-markable career arc.

Hepner started out as an executive assistant in the city manager’s offi ce in 1985, eventually branching out to a variety of positions, including business development offi cer, manager of cor-porate administration and manager of economic development.

She was elected as a city councillor in 2005, a position she held until be-coming mayor in 2014.

Mike Jones, who hired her 30 years ago, wrote a letter commending

Hepner for her “outstanding perfor-mances in a variety of roles.”

It’s testament to Hepner’s talent, dedica-tion and abilities that she’s come so far. Her journey from the executive assistant’s desk to the centre seat in council chambers – at the helm of Canada’s fastest-growing city – pro-vides a strong example to girls and women across the county who might be mulling over a career in public service.

It also speaks to the opportunities that are available at city hall for someone hoping to advance.

Congratulations, Your Worship. To both the mayor and the city: thank you for pro-moting women and letting them dream.

Architects chosen

Th e Ministry of Education hasn’t pro-vided funding for two much-needed elemen-tary schools in the Clayton area of Surrey, but the school district wants to be ready to break ground when they do.

Two architects have been appointed to design a pair of new elementary schools: Clayton Village NE and Clayton Village

NW, both in the rapidly growing Cloverdale neighbourhood.

However, neither has been funded by the provincial gov-ernment as of yet and construction can’t begin until that happens. Th e school district’s theory is that when the money

does come, no further time will be wasted on making plans, such as securing an architect, and construction can begin immediately.

Six fi rms were in-terviewed for the two elementary school proj-ects. Th inkSpace Archi-tecture was appointed for Clayton Village NE

and Craven Huston Powers was chosen for Clayton Village NW.

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, unem-ployment, 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 opposi-tion. 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.

D.L. GardinerCloverdale

To the editor

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

Assessing tax billsTo the editor;If property assessments take

in a rise in property values, the mill rate from the previous year should be lowered or stay the same.

Th is is not happening. What is happening is that when property assessments go up in value, mu-nicipal governments are raising the mill rate. Th at is wrong and taxpayers are paying too much on their property taxes. Property tax formula is assessment value

times mill rate, divided by 1000. For example if the tax assess-ment is $500,000, the calculation is $500,000 multiplied by mill rate divided by 1000.

In 2015 if the mill rate was six, the property tax would be $3,000. If this assessment went up to $550,000 keeping the mill rate the same as in 2015, the property tax would be $3,300.

Raising the mill rate to 6.5 would make the property tax at $3,575, so in reality the rule of thumb is never raise the mill rate when property assessments are

on the increase. Also a rule of thumb: before paying your tax bill, check all of the assessments on the street you live on to compare your property to your neighbour’s property assess-ment. You will fi nd some big surprises, letting you know that you are paying your taxes in July on bogus tax assessments.

Th is info can be found on line under Evalue on the B.C. assessment site, or in your local library.

‘Backbone’ of Surrey Fire Service laid to rest

By Kevin DiakiwSurrey fi refi ghters are lay-

ing one of their own to rest this month aft er his line of duty death.

Surrey Fire Capt. Randy Piticco died on Dec. 22 af-ter a battle with presump-tive lung cancer. Piticco had worked for the Surrey Fire Service for 32 years and re-tired in 2009.

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

tributed to carcinogens he was exposed to during his years in the fi re 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 depart-ment,” Garis said. “He was involved in pre-fi re 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 fl owers, dona-tions may be made “in mem-ory of Randy Piticco” to the Langley Community Sup-port Groups Society –Hope Aft er Stroke.

For online donations, the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Chari-table Society will accept do-nations and redirect them to Hope Aft er Stroke:www.sur-reyfi refi ghters.com/donate/

Rookie cop lauded for truck theft arrest

A keen observation from a rookie RCMP offi cer 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 dealer-ship 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 .

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

also shared with local television sta-tions, which broad-cast the images.

According to a news release issued Th ursday aft ernoon, Const. Orin Mac-Donald recognized the suspect, and on New Year’s Eve, spot-ted 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 aft er, upon entering a nearby liquor store.

Th e truck suff ered about $3,000 in damages.

Cpl. Scotty Schumann described the arrest as “a real tribute to the tenacity and attention to detail dis-played by one of our brand-new 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 prop-erty over $5,000. He is due back in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday (Jan. 15).

I find the new technology makes it a lot easier to adapt and control my environment. I love the service I receive from Jen and Kris at Crystal Hearing.

A message from the Surrey Teachers’ Association

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 much- delayed 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 hotelsBy Jeff NagelA new report shows 117 chil-

dren and youth in care in B.C. were placed in hotels in a recent 12-month period despite govern-ment claims the practice was rare and repeated orders that it happen only in extreme situations.

Th e joint review of hotel place-ments by Representative for Chil-dren and Youth Mary Ellen Tur-pel-Lafond and the Ministry of Children and Family Development came in response to a high-profi le death last September.

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

At that time, Children and Fami-ly Minister Stephanie Cadieux sug-gested 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 con-ventional placement can be found, oft en 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.

“Th e 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 re-quired to report by March 31 or consent to an investigation by Tur-pel-Lafond’s offi ce.

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

Th e South Fraser and North Fra-ser regions of the Lower Mainland recorded the highest use of hotels – 32 and 27 placements respective-ly – followed by 14 in Vancouver/Richmond and 12 by the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society.

Th e 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 ar-eas as “a stop-gap in lieu of having

adequate placements.”But Cadieux said she believes

better coordination of the place-ment 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 prac-tice she would set no target date for ending it.

Manitoba has banned all use of hotels but Cadieux said that com-parison isn’t appropriate because that province was using them sys-temically.

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

“Th e pressures on the staff are such that they are not able to fi nd alternative placements to hotels at this time.”

Ministry staff must now report to the representative’s offi ce when

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

Social workers must get approv-al 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, partic-ularly in the Fraser areas.

She indicated she may also pro-pose increased remuneration or in-centives 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.”

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

B.C. seeks relief for aging population costsBy Tom FletcherWhen people retire

to B.C. from Alberta and other provinces, they bring the major-ity of their health care needs with them, but some of the federal health care money stays behind.

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

to the fi rst 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 gov-ernment 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-cap-ita transfer actually was a disadvantage for populations that were

older, such as British Columbia, and much more of an advantage to populations like Alberta that are younger.”

Lake and Premier Chris-ty Clark noted that B.C. is on track to double the number of hospice beds for terminally ill patients, to help keep up with the aging baby boom population and those

who are moving west to retire.

“We talk about palliative care, we talk

about care for people with demen-tia, we talk about hospice care,” Clark said. “Th at’s expensive, and that’s why the old fund-ing formula needs to be restored.”

Th e previous formula was

introduced by former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin, who in 2004 agreed to six per cent annual increases to provincial health trans-fers in what he called “a fi x for a generation.”

Aft er the Conser-vative majority gov-ernment was elected in 2011, then-fi nance minister Jim Flaherty tied health care increas-es to economic growth, with a minimum increase of three per cent per year, to begin in 2017.

In a campaign stop in B.C. last fall, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

promised to add another $3 billion to the health care budget to start, and “sit down with the provinces im-mediately” to renegoti-ate the formula.

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

Studies by the Canadian Institute for Health Informa-tion confi rm the steep increase in health care costs for people as they enter their senior years, much of it for end-of-life care.

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

Th e 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 con-dos 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 Van-couver board’s area wasn’t in Vancouver, but for de-tached 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.

Th e 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 doublesTenants who take disputes with their landlords

to the Residential Tenancy Branch now have to pay twice as much aft er the B.C. government approved fee increases in late December.

Th e fee for a dispute resolution application fi led by a renter doubled to $100 from $50. And an ap-peal review now costs $50, up from $25. Landlords must pay the fees if the branch fi nds in favour of the tenant.

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

Th e 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.

MoneyMattersMany 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 invest-ment 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 � nancial 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 bene� cial 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

in a TFSA:You can withdraw funds at any time and for any reason without incurring taxThe income earned and capital gains under a TFSA will be tax-shelteredAny unused contribution room may be carried forward and contributed in a future yearWithdrawals (capital and income) will create contribution room for future savingsAny money you take out of a TFSA in a year can’t be re-contributed until the following calendar year or you may be faced with a penalty if you go over your limitContributions will not be tax deductibleQuali� ed investments include: term deposits, high-interest savings accounts, investment shares, index-linked term de-posits, mutual funds, publicly traded securities and bonds

By Jennifer LangA curling team that

includes a Cloverdale teen is headed for the BC Winter Games next month in Penticton.

Team Drexel – rep-resenting Coquitlam, Cloverdale and Chil-liwack – has qualifi ed 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 con-sists of three veterans and one relative new-comer 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 Clo-verdale who’s in Grade 10 at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

Lead Madeline Britz of Chilliwack, 14, is

in her second year of curling.

It’s Drexel’s third pro-vincial 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 win-ning the B.C. Juvenile championships. Royea, Drexel and Burke also took part in the U18

International champi-onships sponsored by the Optimist Junior Interleague.

Burke curls out of the Cloverdale Curling Club, where she’s regis-tered in the junior curl-ing program and acts as a spare for several adult leagues here.

“Th e curling com-munity is relatively small so many of the girls know each other

either from playing with or against them in competition, says Hilary Drexel, mom of Heather Drexel. “Heather found Bailey rather serendipitously two years ago when her team was looking for a fourth player.”

Th e girls left that team in April 2015 to form this new team and are “very excited about going to the BCWG

together.”Th e other two players

became friends at previous curling events, with Royea bringing in Britz when her team was looking for a lead. “In spite of their short time together, the girls have connected on and off the ice and are enjoying success as a juvenile team,” she said.

Panthers top Panorama at 2016 Fire Fighters’ fi nal

Th e host Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers captured their fi rst-ev-er Surrey Fire Fight-ers’ Goodwill Classic before 200 spectators two weekends ago at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary.

Th e Panthers topped the Panorama Ridge Th under 87-73 in the championship game of the all-Surrey senior girls high school basketball tournament, capping a four-game run through the 22-team competition.

“We play as a team, we work well as a unit. Th at’s our biggest strength,” said Pan-thers 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 champi-onship game, won by the Th under aft er they erased an eight-point defi cit 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 fi nal 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 halft ime lead to as many as 21 points ear-ly in the second half, before the Th under tried to make a come-back.

A 10-point run had the Th under within 11 with eight minutes remaining, but Panora-ma Ridge couldn’t cut

the diff erence to single digits the rest of the way.

“It’s almost as if when we got to within 10, we started to relax,” said Th under head coach John Sowerby. “And that’s what they did. Th ere’s no way we should have gotten into that hole. We just stopped running.”

Th e Panthers, who have placed in the top three fi ve times previously at the Fire Fighters’ Classic, didn’t change their game plan

when the Th under 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 off ensively for Lord Tweedsmuir were

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

Budiman won the tournament’s Best De-fensive Player award, with teammate Emma Jonas claiming the Most Valuable Player award as well as win-ning the three-point shooting competition. Norris, Dhaliwal and Panorama’s Zainab

Khan were named to the 15-member Surrey Fire Fighters’ Dream Team.

Th e Fraser Heights Firehawks placed third, defeating the Holy Cross Crusaders 65-60 in a consolation game played by the two losing semifi nal-ists. Emily Pearson led the Firehawks with 20 points, with Madison Bergen adding 14. Ju-liana Babic was the top scorer for Holy Cross with 24 points. Bergen and Babic were named to the Dream Team.

In the Ladder Divi-sion fi nal, Sabrina Hou and Maya-Jade Kooner netted 14 points each to lead the Semiahmoo Totems to a 60-42 win over the Guildford Park Sabres. Angela Shih tallied 13 points for Semiahmoo, while Hellen Odong scored 27 points to lead the Sabres. Odong was the Ladder Division’s Most Valuable Player, and the Sabres were named the tournament’s Most Sportsmanlike Team.

Other members of the Dream Team were Amina Gill of the Enver Creek Cougars, Simi Lehal of the Fleet-wood Park Dragons, Chelsie Shokar of the North Surrey Spartans, Georgia Paterson of the Princess Margaret Lions, Pavleen Gill of the Quaan Elizabeth Royals, Kara Lauer of the Semiahmoo Totems, Anuy Randha-wa of the Tamanawis Wildcats, Cairo Chap-man of the Earl Marri-ott Mariners, Daughter Achan of the Kwantlen Park Timberwolves, and Elizabeth Hicks of the Clayton Heights Night Riders.

Giants lose ground on road to playoff positionVancouver is six points back after losses to Everett and Prince George

By Rick KupchukTh e Vancouver Gi-

ants lost back-to-back games for the fi rst time in more than a month last weekend, failing to

earn a point in a pair of home games at the Pacifi c Coliseum.

Th e Western Hockey League team fell 3-2 to the Everett Silver-

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

Th e Giants had won four of fi ve games heading into the week-end, but were handed consecutive regulation losses for the fi rst time since Dec. 5-6. Ironi-cally, those losses were to the Silvertips (3-1 in Everett) and Prince George (6-5 in Van-couver). Since then, the Giants were 9-3-1 (win-loss-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.

Th e Silvertips broke a 2-2 tie with a goal mid-way through the second period, and maintained the one-goal lead for the fi nal 33 minutes of the game.

Everett opened the scoring eight minutes into the fi rst period, then Dmitry Osipov and Alec Baer struck for the Giants with a pair of goals just 18 sec-onds 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 pe-riod and took a 4-3 lead into the fi nal frame, but couldn’t hang on.

Trevor Cox was the Vancouver goal scorer in the fi rst period, which ended with the Cougars up 2-1. Cox then assisted on goals by Th omas Foster and Ty Ronning in the fi rst minute of the second period to give the Giants their fi rst lead of the game.

Aft er Prince George scored on the power-play, Foster restored the Vancouver lead fi ve 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 fi nal minute.

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

Th e 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.

Th ey will play three home games next week-end, hosting the Medi-cine Hat Tigers Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at the Pacifi c Coliseum, before visiting the Victoria Royals for two games Saturday night and Sunday aft ernoon.

FIETKAU Sophie

December 8, 1938 - December 12, 2015Sophie 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, to-gether with her twin brother Joseph Pukart, who survives her. Her parents were Simon and Genoveva Pukart. Her beloved sister, MariaPukart, 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 beingplanned to honour our beloved Sophie’s memory.
